The news of the strange occurrences in NGL were drawing hunters from near and far. Even the Chairman of the Hunter Association went to deal with the threat, but he didn't go alone. He had the best hunters he could get at the moment: Knov, Morel, Knuckle, Shoot, and Mila.

Mila was walking to where she was to meet Chairman Netero and the other hunters. She had been briefed on the strange happenings in NGL by the Chairman over the phone, and he had asked her to help them in this situation - to which she obviously agreed. However, not too far from Mila, Ponzu was running at full speed, trying to find someone to help save Pokkle after he was captured by Chimera Ants. She didn't even realize that she was on course to run into Mila. Being unable to slow her pace, Ponzu ran headfirst into Mila, causing them both to fall into the dirt from the impact.

"Ow... What the hell, Ponzu? Wait a minute, what are you doing here anyway?" Mila asked as she stood up and brushed the dirt off her clothes. But, once she saw Ponzu's clearly distressed state, Mila knew something terrible must've happened. "Woah, Ponzu breath! Tell me what happened." Mila said calmly as she tried to comfort her hysterical friend. Mila led Ponzu to a quiet spot to talk, and they sat down on the ground.

"I-It's Pokkle... He was captured!" Ponzu said through tears.

"What?!"

"W-We were fighting some strange c-creatures, and they killed mine and Pokkle's teammates... and then they captured Pokkle!" Ponzu exclaimed frantically.

"Okay then." Mila said while standing up and brushed off any remaining debris from her clothes.

"M-Mila?" Ponzu questioned.

"Don't worry Ponzu. I'll save Pokkle, no matter what. That's a promise!" Mila said confidently. "But please, don't do anything reckless. Get far away from NGL as fast as you can. I'll call you after everything is done and when I got Pokkle." Mila continued seriously, to which Ponzu could only nod in response.

Mila turned and started heading to where she was to meet the others when Ponzu yelled, "Promise me you won't die okay! I don't want to lose both of you!"

"Don't worry, I'll be just fine!" Mila replied and waved over her shoulder and continued to walk until she was out of Ponzu's sight.
