Chapter 2-8

== Minori - Battle at the Portal ==
Minori is joined by Rin, Andrea, Daichi, and Soren in a mission to shut down the Portal to the East of The Launch. It is the portal used by the Eritomoru for easy access to the area and by destroying it they will not be able to threaten the project.
Soren uncovers the precise location of the portal using his Kagami eye and as night overtakes the portal the group begins their silent approach. The inside of the portal is a circular room with a total of twelve portals lining the walls. In the center is a portal as well. Vexxis, Squall, and Somnium are among the Eritomoru defending. 
At equal odds, Minori is not able to take out Vexxis and Daichi the same with Squall. Somnium shifts the tide of battle with a sweeping victory over the combined might of Andrea and Soren who, in their defeat, are tossed through two separate portals. Daichi displays an amazing feat as his body erupts with bright light and blistering cold. At a blurred speed, he kicks Somnium through a portal and collapses the building atop of it.
The structure of the building is compromised and crumbles to bits. The group escape before the ceiling collapses on them.

== Lentis ==
Lentis has been alone wandering the forests after his release by Minori. A full night has passed and his stomach growls with nothing in it. To his good luck, or perhaps bad luck, he is found once again by Yillia in the dark of night who toys with him like one would a puppy. Quickly she reveals herself and has him join her at her campsite where Angeix and Ordis wait. This is his first time meeting Ordis. Despite his familiarity with Angeix there is no kindness from him, and Angeix mocks Lentis for being a plaything of Yillia's. 
January 23rd
The group intended to return to the portal, but to their dismay, find it's interior in ruins. The portal leads to a collapsed building with all the others within it closed. Beneath the rubble, they find Squall who failed to protect it from Minori and the others. Yillia curses at this colossal failure and groans they must travel south to find the next portal. Angeix is lefted alone to clear the rubble off of Squall, eventually taking the opportunity to escape with him.

== Trivia ==
* This is Minori's first interaction with the Kagami eye; watching Soren track the portal from a mile away to uncover its exact location.
* This is the first appearance of Somnium who at this moment in time is suspected to just be a normal member of the Eritomoru.
* Squall, the blue-haired Eritomoru, is revealed to be named Marcel by Angeix. This suggests the Eritomoru - at least some - operate under code names.
