Seeing Bryce and Tarkus jumped down the hatch, Balthier ran towards it himself, but stopped near the entrance as he saw Valvatorez heavily wounded if not dead. Seeing as there was nothing he could do, Balthier set his mind on the task ahead and looked down the hatch. Although he was apprehensive about jumping in into the hatch and walking down the dark and narrow corridors, Balthier eventually followed after Bryce and Tarkus and jumped down, caing another pain flare to travel from his ankles towards his when he landed. Groaning, Balthier leaned against a wall and gripped his head. Once the pain subsided, Balthier heard the heavy gunfire echoeing across the hallway. He began making his way towards the sounds of the gunfire, pulling out a hand bomb from his pouch. Once he reached the end of the corridor, Balthier pressed himself against the wall and peeked around the corner to see where his allies stood, not wanting to blindly toss the bomb in fear of harming them.
