Alice, indeed, has a twinkle in her eye at the idea.
"Well, overthrowing an evil empire wasn't exactly what I had in mind staying around here for a while, but....if you're paying, sure. 'Sides, it'll get the bills paid. And, of course, who doesn't love overthrowing an evil empire? Should be pretty exciting."

Yusuke looks between Kazuki, who seems to have left it up to Rin, and Kaori, who seems to be resigned.
"Well, Rengoku, it looks like it's up to you. Listen, it's been a hard day, and I know we're a bunch of strangers to you, so if you wanna bug out now-"
"I'm coming with you."
"Look, you don't have to, okay? You've helped us as much as you need to but it's not your fight-"
Rin stares at him, a calm expression on her face.
"I'm coming with you, Yamada. If Lord Kiritani was the one who brought me down here, then....this was what I was meant to do. I know the risks, especially with the Hiruma. Please don't treat me like I'm fragile. I want to help you. I'm doing this of my own free will."
"....if you insist."
"Guess me and Madoka'll tag along too, then. We're headed up to Kaedehara anyway. That is, if Madoka fancies a fight with the Empress herself. I, for one, look forward to it."
She turns back to the Kamisato soldier.
"If Lord Kiritani agrees to my friend's terms, then I will be happy to assist him. He was the one who requested my presence here, so as a Mizuno pharmacist, I am bound to assist until it is over. Even if it is an unorthodox request."

1112
The blobs, for how soft they are to the touch, prove to be nigh-immovable even for Keith. His foot can barely slide into the gap between two of them without being softly bounced back out.
"wao"
"no entry, yis"

1113
The blobs collectively inhale, sniffing the air in the direction Yliss pointed out.

They stare back at her.
"wao, is bullshit"

1114
The chosen blob, like all blobs, is soft and slightly, comfortably warm to the touch.
"yis" "wao, headpats"
However, they do not budge.

1115
The remaining Runners run for their lives. Meanwhile, the Boss whips out a crystal tablet, tapping it and making a quick call for medical services.
"There. We won't be on the hook for murder. Hopefully. Can't have my little sister be tied up in a crime the day before she was supposed to become a cop. Which reminds me. Start talking, Runner."
"Okay, okay! I....I bribed someone to s-spike the drinks at the party! T-the plan was to frame you for Cassius' death, so the Chiefs would wipe you out! Then we'd run the city together, the Chiefs working for us while we wipe out anyone who got in our way!"
"You were using us all along. I see."

1116
Marta's face turns red with embarassment.
"Well....you know....height."

Meanwhile, Sir Blobbington seems to be a blob on a mission, entering a doorway into an old building looking like any other Blobbonian building.

The moment Yliss and Keith arrive at the doorway, however, the doorway immediately fills with blobs, all staring at the pair expectantly.
"wao"

1117
The Kamisato soldiers talk between themselves in whispers, snatches of the name "Hiruma" and various fearful curses being heard. One of them runs towards Lord Kiritani to convey this information, before returning. The Kamisato soldier still looks clearly worried.
"....Lord Kiritani states that he does not know anything about these assassination attempts. The Empress is truly dishonorable, to sink to using Hiruma shinobi. Of course, knowing the Hiruma, they didn't say anything about who hired them....

As for your compensation, to speak plainly since we've been misinterpreted or ignored, repeatedly in the last five minutes....yes. We do wholly intend to pay you as colleagues. Of course, officially, you will be on Kamisato official business and thus the clan's payroll, but in practice....relying on Lord Kamisato's protection is going to be rather difficult, given the Empress is well aware of their proclivities. And, of course, Lord Kamisato retrieving his children from the Empress. By force."

1118
Kaede grins.
"Of course I'm ready. Ready to kick your collective butts."

"Nice to meet you, Ricardo. Kaede Miyajima, Class 3-C's representative. Nice get-up, by the way. Reminds me of that Cactus Bandito dude Max's a fan of. For a guy as quiet as him, you'd be surprised what he likes, huh?"

1119
The Runners begin to regret their career choices.....far too late.

~~Ally Phase~~
With his gang getting beaten to a pulp around him, the Starlight Soldiers hemming him in from one direction and the Warriors from the other, Lowell leaps off his horse, clambering to the side of the road to flee.

"Oh, the HELL you will!"

Before Lowell can make it very far, the Boss practically barrels into him, hoisting him up practically over her head and leaping into the air, before smashing the man into the ground like a sack of potatoes, a crunch telling you she probably broke a few bones. The man begins to crawl away, but the Boss slams her boot on top of his (clearly broken) leg, causing him to cry out in pain.

"I still...have....my trump card!"

He reaches for something in his robes, but the Boss is quick, and yanks the thing -a metal contraption of some sort- and crushes it in her hand, the thing sparking with magical energies before fizzling to ash.

The remaining Runners, seeing exactly what the Boss just did to their, well, boss, immediately drop their weapons. At least, the one or two still standing.

"G-get off of me! Get off of me! I swear, I'll leave you alone! I'll leave town! I'll pay you all the money I have! I'll do anything! Please, just let me go!"
"Shouldn't have gone after my sister and my men, assclown. Now, you'll tell me, and everyone, what your plan was, or I swear to the Goddess Dragons, you're going to wish that the only thing I did was break a few bones."

"Lord Kiritani figured you would say that. He also figured you would not trust him immediately. But, he would like you to communicate to you that you should consider just who arranged for Lady Tanigawa to acquire the schedules for the guards so you might be able to catch Sir Yamada during his transport between prisons when the guards were least likely to be able to stop you.

And, of course, since he also figured you would not trust him immediately when he suggested compensation, he has already arranged for your first payment to be delivered as a show of faith."
Two other Kamisato soldiers approach, bags of golden coins in hand.

Then Traxesa mentions the assassination attempts. At that, the soldier actually snaps out of his deferent tone to Lord Kiritani, and sounds legitimately surprised. He holds his hand up to stop the soldiers from moving.
"Did....you say assassination attempts? Against whom? Do you know who did it? Were they with the Empress?"

1121
"...."
Rin was still patiently waiting for an answer before she was summoned.
"A Lord Kiritani....I...I don't know one, but..."
She had a feeling about something.

She heads up.
"Are you Rengoku Rin?"
"Do you recognise this badge?"
Rin holds up the badge of the Juunishi. The soldier examines it, plucking the badge from her hand, and running back to the mysterious masked man standing far away, talking for a few minutes. After a while, he returns.

"Lord Kiritani sends his apologies, Lady Rengoku. He apologises that you had to meet this way, and that you had to be involved in all this. He would have preferred to meet you with the meet he had set up with the letter."
"W-wait, letter? He....that was him? Then who is K.N...?"
"Kiritani Noriaki. Leader of the Sangonomiya Resistance. A close ally of Lord Kensuke Kamisato."
"Wait, you were involved with these guys already?!"
"N-no, Yamada. I mean, I've heard of the Resistance before, f-from a few people, here and there, but....I never dreamed they'd even know who I was...."
"Lord Kiritani took interest in you after your actions in Ibaraki Province, Lady Rengoku. But....unfortunately, his plans have now changed, given the events of today. Today did not go as planned."

At that, Rin's blood ran cold.
"Ibaraki...."
Her Gnosis pulsed lightly. She shook her head.
"I didn't do anything special there. I-I'm happy to help, whatever you need, but I'm not sure....I'm the one you want."
"Lord Kiritani was very clear. It was his intention to break Sir Yamada free, in collaboration with Lord Tokiwa. And it was his intention to procure your services, Lady Rengoku. He also wishes to convey that this was not how he had intended to do so, but given the changes in the plan, he has come to personally see things through and ensure you are safe. All of you."
"He knows my dad? How? When? Start talking!"
"Lord Kiritani is not in a position to divulge such information at the moment. In any case, we have come to arrange secret transport for you all out of town to Sangonomiya. As you are likely to now be fugitives from the Imperial Throne, Lord Kiritani, as a show of apology, would like to officially welcome you to the Resistance and take you under this protection. Do not worry, you will be handsomely compensated."
"This hurts my head....what the hell did we get ourselves into here, Madoka?"

1122
Yusuke continues poring over the letter, as if trying to absorb every possible piece of information.
"Dad....we have to get to Sangonomiya at once. If Dad's there, then...."
He looks at Setsurou, before placing a firm hand on his shoulder.
"Thanks, Setsurou. I...I really appreciate your help. Sorry. It....feels like I don't thank you enough. Or anyone. Not really enough."

"Didja say 'Sangonomiya'? Like, the town Sangonomiya?"
Yusuke's eyes widen as he turns to see Todoroki. His mouth hangs agape.
"....Todoroki?! What the....what the hell are you doing here?!"
"That's a nice way to greet an old friend, Yamada! Damn, how's Master? I haven't seen him for a while. Been meanin' to find him."
"He's fine, but...what the hell are you doing here? How the hell did you even get mixed up in all this?"
"My partner an' I wanted in on the fight. So we fought. Now we're here with you. Guess we're headin' the same way anyway; Kaedehara Dojo's in the same direction."
"Whoa. We're going to Sangonomiya first. You realise what we're in the middle of? You have any idea?"
"Yeah, yeah, you're Cursed. I know. We grew up together under Master, remember? Still remember havin' to chase your cat backside when you'd run off after Master ran us both too ragged with trainin'. Well, I suppose we could drop by Sangonomiya first....'course, with all of whatever just happened happenin', we might not get much of a choice."

"Tanigawa. Tenjuu. Tsubouchi. Yamada."

A stern voice sounds from the other end of the road. As you turn to see who they are, you see a group of soldiers in the road, spears in hand and swords at their belt. Fortunately, the jailbreak group recognise the insignia on their chest; the Kamisato crest, signifying their allegiance with the Kamisato Clan, who were already opposed to the Empress' rule. Whoever they were, they were likely with the Resistance.

You also notice, far away, far outside of even the Cursed's ability to sense other Cursed, a masked figure, wearing a hood and  what appeared to be a kitsune mask.
"...."
"Lord Kiritani sends his regards. He has accompanied us to see you through to safety. I see you have gathered some allies. By any chance, is there a Rengoku Rin among you?"
"Lord Kiritani?"
"No clue.

Fire Emblem on Forums: Demon Soul Saga

Since time immemorial, the inner demons of humans have lurked within the depths of human minds. With the corruptive power of an Akuma Seed bestowed by the demonic Rakshasa, these inner demons are brought out, turning a human into an Akuma. Humans have lived in fear against the Akuma in the shadows and fought against them with their best efforts, but only the Kaijin, humans who have confronted their inner demon and have tamed it for their own use, can truly match them.

The year is 2023, and the new year at Our Lady of Hermelin High School has begun. Situated in the newly built Mishima Economic District, the school is world-class, with transfer students and wealthy students bumping shoulders with locals from the Mishima District, moving into the area to pursue the opportunities of a new world, whether it is in the large entertainment district, the many services offered in Mishima District, or the business district trading with countries around the world. Under that glitzy exterior, however, is a dark secret; Akuma attacks have increased in frequency, and only the rumours of heroic Kaijin in the shadows keep them back from the people of Mishima. There are further rumours of the beings called Rakshasa appearing, turning humans into Akuma to sow chaos upon Japan, and beings called Kaijin, benevolent Akuma that can fight back, but surely such rumours are ridiculous, correct?

Seven students from Hermelin will be bound together by destiny, drawn into the fight against the Akuma, and with the strength of their bonds, maybe even expose the truth and attain justice for all.

"So, we're fighting you guys first, huh?"
Kaede suddenly approaches the class, a confident smile on her face.
"You ready for the rematch?"
