[man 1 on recording] Falcon Main, this is Bravo Team.
Do you copy?
Storm incoming. Zero visibility. Request immediate support.
[gunfire on recording]
Falcon Main, something's in here with us. Send immediate support.
[man 1 screams on recording]
Falcon Main, this is Bravo Team. Send immediate support.
[man 2] Ma'am. Ma'am.
- Marshall. - Link found something half a klick ahead.
- Bravo Team? - Think so.
Axe.
- With Steeler. Man the 50. - [Axe] Yes, boss.
All right, ladies.
Saddle up.
She's a woman, but she still manages to make that sound like an insult.
Get used to it.
[dramatic music playing]
[Dash] Captain.
- You see those markers? - Yeah, I see them.
Do you have any idea what they are?
Sergeant Davis, I'm a Ranger, not an archeologist.
Copy that.

- Axe! - What?
- What are you listening to? - George Jones.
Who the hell's that?
You're a philistine, Steeler.
Yes. Yes, I am.
[fly buzzing]
Damn, Marshall. You got hella reflexes.
Fifteenth casualty today.
- Killing them. - Take no prisoners, Davis.

- Link, what'd you find? - It's definitely Bravo Team.
[ominous music playing]
But the tracks end here.
- What were Bravo Team traveling in? - Up-armored Humvee and a M-ATV.
That's ten tons of armored vehicle. They don't just disappear.
Boss, we've got something.
Incoming. On your 12.
[thunder rumbling]
- Where did that come from? - Came out of nowhere.
Bravo Team reported a storm in their last transmission.
- Hostiles using it for cover? - An ambush. Like in Helmand?
Let's not find out.
[dramatic music playing]
[Artemis over radio] REDCON-1.
If there are hostiles hiding behind that storm,
things might get kinetic.
Copy that.
Marshall, what are you doing, bro?
In case I get my head blown off, they can still tell who I am.
[Lincoln chuckles]
Hardcore shit, cabrón.
[suspenseful music playing]
Damn!
Goddamn, that shit's close.
Link, you ever seen lightning like this before?
No. Never.
But I feel pretty secure here in this big steel box,
holding my metal gun.
Dash, on your 12!
Look at those markers!
What the hell is that?
- Watch out! - Damn it!
Brace yourselves!
[shouting and grunting]

[Marshall] Shit!
[Artemis panting]

- [coughing] - [Artemis groans]
Where the hell are we?
And what happened to the storm?
What the hell just happened?
[ominous music playing]
- [Artemis] Hey! - Guys!
You okay?
- [groans] I'll survive. - Did we just get hit by lightning?
- Steeler, you good? - Never better.
Where did all this sand come from?
[engine sputtering]
[Artemis] This isn't right, none of it.
- [thunder crashing] - What the hell is that?
I don't see any structures or mountains marked on this map.
According to this, the nearest sand dune is 20 klicks away.
- How's that possible? - [Axe] Where the hell are we?
- How did we get so far from the road? - I don't know.
Axe, get on one of those dunes
- and set up an observation point. - Yes, boss.
- [Artemis] Steeler! - DPV will run. She's had worse.
- Marshall? - GPS is fried, boss.
Radio and sat. All I get is static.
Even the compass is screwed up. Must have been the lightning.
Well, what do you wanna do?
Go analog. Navigate by the sun.
Make it back to base. We hoof it if we have to.
Boss, that's a long hike.
Yeah, well, we keep going till we get comms.
Then AWACS will call in support. They'll send helos, maybe armor.
- [engine starts] - [Lincoln chuckles]
- Nice. - Back in business.
- [Axe over radio] Boss. - Send it.
There's something you gotta see.
[ominous music playing]
Up-armored DPV and a M-ATV.
It's Bravo Team.
V-formation. Move out.
What do we do about them?
When we get comms, we'll call in recovery assets to retrieve the bodies.
- What happened to them? - Flamethrowers.
I don't think so.
Never seen a flamethrower do this to a man.
- Not even napalm burns that hot. - Ma'am?
It's glass.
[Marshall] Glass?
When sand melts, it turns to glass.
How do you melt sand?
I don't know.
This shit is officially above my pay grade.
Looks like they made a stand.
- Let off a lot of rounds. - They didn't hit anything.
There's no bodies.
Maybe they took the bodies with them?
- I've seen that before. - [Lincoln] Yeah.
- Well, that's just the thing. - What do you see, Link?
Nothing.
No tracks anywhere.
Whoever did this, they didn't leave a mark.
We need to get moving. Move out!
[dramatic music playing]
Dark Star to Falcon. Dark Star to Falcon, over.
[static crackling over radio]
Damn it. Lightning really messed up the electronics, huh?
Not just electronics.
- What do you mean? - This isn't right.
Nothing about this is right.
That lightning, it did something to us.

What was that thing? What is that?
I told you. I told you. That light, it took us somewhere.
We need to get back. We need to get back home.
- Stow it, Sergeant Davis. - Oh, my God. We're gonna die here.
Shut that shit up right now, soldier. That's an order.
- You see what it did to Steeler and Axe? - Dash, hey.
I got three. You?
- What? - Three mags left.
What does it matter? Did you see that?
It matters because we're soldiers. And this is what we do. We fight.
- Am I right? - Rangers lead the way.
- You with me? - Always, boss.
You're all crazy.
You know, I don't care what the hell that thing is.
We do what we do best. We fight and we survive.
No matter what the odds. You got it?
[both] Yes, ma'am.
You got it?
Loud and clear, ma'am.
Now, I got three left. What about you? [screams]
[screeching]
Med pack!
- CPR, Marshall. - [Marshall] On it.
- [Dash] It's too late. - Bullshit!
Don't die on me, Ranger. Come on.
- Lack of pulse. - Unacceptable. Try it again.
- I'm sorry. - Shit! There's more of them!
Come on! We have to go!
They're everywhere!
I'm sorry.

Oh, no.

[bell ringing]
[bubbling]
[caterwauling]
What?
[speaks in foreign language]
What is that?
Palico.
[meows]
My friend tells me I misjudged you.
That I might even owe you an apology.
Just don't hold your breath.
Why did you put me in chains?
What are you so afraid of?
Your world...
and what it could do to mine.
You aren't the first to cross over from your world. There were others.
Long time ago.
That's how you speak my language?
- Mm. I made a study of it. - What happened to me?
How did I get here?
I believe that the answers we both seek lie here.
At the peak of that mountain lies the Sky Tower.
Remnants of an ancient civilization.
Very advanced. Very dangerous.
It is said that the Ancients knew how to travel between both worlds.
I believe that is the purpose of the Sky Tower.
That is what brought you here.
What happened to this ancient civilization?
They destroyed themselves. Their technology turned on them.
You think my world had something to do with it.
I suspect. But an open gateway between our two worlds
was catastrophic once.
I intend to make sure that doesn't happen again.
We were on our way to investigate the Sky Tower
when we strayed into the Diablos.
That's where I lost my friend here.
Tending to the wounded and repairing the ship was our first priority.
But now we resume our mission.
The Ancients would guard their technology with the most fearsome of creatures,
a Rathalos.
Almost impossible to kill.
Their only weakness is just before they breathe fire.
You help us with the battle ahead, perhaps we can help you get home.
[purrs]
[meows]
[admiral] What's the matter?
You don't have cats in your world?
Hey!
You been drinking from my mug again?
[meows]

We leave at dawn.
And don't keep me waiting.
I hate waiting.
[dramatic music playing]
[thunder crashing and rumbling]

So? You ready?
We got a hard climb ahead of us.
[kisses, then purrs]
[laughs]
[Lea] Come on!
[Hunter speaks in foreign language]
[thunder crashing]
[thunder continues crashing]
We believe that the lava powers the machinery within the tower.
It's controlling the storm.
Exactly.
It's creating a gateway to your world, but it looks unstable.
Let's go.
[suspenseful music playing]
[in foreign language] It's glass.

I say again, a lone survivor. Ground forces are securing the area.

- You're here. - [admiral] We came to help.
We can't have monsters from my world attacking yours.
[thunder crashing]
It's starting again.
[dramatic music playing]
We don't have much time.
There's going to be another attack.
We have to get back.
We have to shut the Sky Tower down.
