Madoka begins to calm down, her soul gem stabilizing. She looks towards Cynthia, going for a hug. She needs this comforting. "Homura... How could she... How could she do what she did..." Madoka would look towards lucifer. "You reminded me of what she did... What I was before... And what she did to me... I'm not sure If I should thank you or Shoot you." She'd continue the hug.

He grins.

   I would suggest doing the former considering I would burn you to cinders in an instant if you attempted the latter.    He says in a manner much too casual for the threat he just delivered.

Cynthia happily hugs her, attempting to comfort Madoka. Takumi, meanwhile, looks outraged !

You speak of death casually.

Madoka would nod to lucifer, before thinking of what homura did for a second, before stopping the hug, a bit embarassed. "I'm sorry about that... I just... I should explain later." She'd look to lucifer "I think I understand your story more than usual..." She'd be standing now, dispelling her bow to prevent herself from firing arrows out of the mix of anger and confusion. "I... I made a wish to end the suffering of people like me, to end a cycle of pain, with my own cycle. The Law of cycles. I became a god of sorts, Rewriting the world, making it so that certain things never happened. But I guess that also made it so I didn't exist as a human... Homura was the only one to remember me... I guess she was my second, my archangel..." She'd still be shaking, somewhat. "I should put my mind off this for now..."

Lucifer chuckles at Takumi's outrage.

   You're correct, I do speak about death casually. It is my dominion after all. I govern an entire realm of the dead, each one once a person as intricate as you or any other mortal. I speak of death as I please and if you wish to stop me, you must do so by force.   

He then turns to Madoka, his interest peaked.

   Is that so? You were your own God, then? Very interesting indeed. I would very much like to meet this Homura in the future.   

He turns away from the rest of the group and stares at the sky.

   Well, if none of you wish to enter into a contract, I shall be taking my leave. I'll see you all in Hell.   

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning strikes the fallen angel and he vanishes as if he was never there in the first place.

Understone Keep, Skyrim

The Genie is floating around the keep, curious.


Astil

On the bridge connecting Astil and the Hub Centralis, Anna has equipped herself to Old Man Hubba, as it's the only way the old man has enough strength to push Jake's Ballista, which currently has Anna's bag of goods stashed inside.

"Are you still alright?", Anna asks, worried.

"Oh, don't worry. With the buff you're giving me, I feel like a young lad again.", Old Man Hubba says. "Besides, we're almost there."

"Let's hope there's actual people in this town. The last three were empty. And we need a lot of people to help find Jake and my sisters."

"Indeed, I-oh, look. There's some people headed our way right now.", he says as he looks behind him and sees a group of buff, axe-wielding men headed their way. Anna turns too, but she doesn't look too happy.

"Oh no. No no no. This is bad."

"How so?"

"I know those people. They're brigands who want to pillage and burn everything they find. They've tried to rob me several times, but they're normally no match for me. But right now..."

"You can't fight...", Old Man Hubba says, alarmed, then gulps as the men stop in front of the both of them.

"Well, 'ave a look wot we 'ave 'ere. I didn't expect ter see yor pretty wee face again, Secret Seller.", the lead brigand says. Anna just glares at him while Old Man Hubba looks nervous.

"To fink we'd meet again in a place like this. Wen we 'eard a ton of blokes 'ere suddenly became ghosts and stuff, right, we figured it'd be the perfect time ter ransack evryfink. I never imagined yer'd be struck by this as well. Oh, how great fate can be, huh, isit?Yer can't do a fin' ter us now."

"Just try to do anything, you'll regret it.", Anna says, her tone unusually venomous.

"Ahahahaha! Oh, right, now this is rich. Yer fink yer can still put the mockers on us, then? Wotcher gonna do, sic the old man on us, isit?Ahaha! Struth! Oh, how priceless."

He turns to the other brigands.

"Attention, yer braindead morons! There's a slight adjustment in the bleedin' plans. 3 of yor gonna chop off that ole man's 'ead, right, hack that Ballista into pieces and take evryfink inside! The bloomin' rest of us will set towards the tahn and 'ave some good ole fun!"

"AYE!", the other bandits say, starting to walk past Old Man Hubba.

"What!? Don't you dare burn down this town, or-"

"Or wot, right, girlie, guv? Yer'll use yor spooky powers on us, isit? Oh, right, I'm quakin' in me boots. Be a good girl and sit ter the bleedin' side as we take evryfink and teach yer a lesson. Yer'll never be able ter get in us way again. Sayonara, Secret Seller!"

The leading brigand follows those headed into town, making for 12 Brigands in the Hub Centralis and 3 near Jake's Ballista.

"Old Man Hubba, please tell me you can fight in some way. Any way.", Anna says, nervous.

"Erm... I could hit them with a book."

"... it's... better than nothing, I guess. Please, let someone be in that town to defend it..."

There's a shrill screech, and a blue-haired girl emerges out of nowhere on an horse, attempting to blindside one of the brigands to try to stab her with her sword. Her make-up seems to be running down her face, and her expression is one of blind rage.

EENIE MEENIE DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ! she yells. She's backed up by Arthur.

W-wait, milady ! We need to announce ourselves to the fiends ! It is only polite !

A fireball is thrown at the larger brigand group, courtesy of Laurent, who somewhat lag behind. Finally, a pegasus soar overhead, as Cynthia begins heading for the three brigands !

Hey ! Don't worry, huh... Anna and old man ! The heroes of justice, the smart Laurent and that... funny lady are here to save you !

Neuff is in view of the Genie, listening to music through... no device in particular. She's just banging her head while air-playing guitar.

Astil

A second group of intervening heroes would arrive on scene, with Flynn an hat kid in the lead, Followed by madoka and the Chemistry wizard Charles.

Flynn's hair would blow back behind him in the wind as he stared down the bandits harassing anna and co, drawing his blade. He'd speak up. "I've stolen from others before, but only when they were trying to kill me. Stealing from people who don't mean you any harm? They'd better have a damn good reason."

Hat kid would speak up next. "I hope everyone's ready for this. I've killed some mafia goons before, but I'm not sure if my pink haired pal is up to kill a person."

Madoka would look to the shepards arriving, and would wave, saying "Hey! Seems you came right on time!" before looking back to hat kid. "I'll be fine. I've seen much worse..."

Finally, Charles would speak up, rallying the group. "These bandits will not stand to the combined force of our two groups." He'd then yell to the bandits. "I, Charles Bourbon, Shall give you a chance to flee with your lives if you leave these people alone. If you refuse, I shall be forced to use arts which would otherwise be outlawed in warfare!"


Understone Keep

Homura would be in understill keep, In plain view of our genie boy. She'd have a flashlight in hand, which migh be foreign to a lot of arenagoers.

One of the brigands turns to look just in time for him to get stabbed by Peri's sword.

"AAAUGH"

He falls off of the bridge as a result, into the water below. A second brigand is hit by a fireball, but survives.

"Bloody reinforcements. Some of yer, right, keep them off. The rest, go for the tahn!", the brigand leader yells as he runs past Peri, Arthur and Laurent, not even bothering to attack them. A few of the others join him, but 5 of them stay behind. One brigand charges for Laurent with a Steel Axe, one brigand tries to throw a Hand Axe at Cynthia, one brigand tries to hit Arthur with a Killer Axe (which luckily doesn't crit), and the other two attack Peri with an Iron Axe and, in a most problematic turn, a Swordreaver Axe, which'll be of great effect against Peri's sword.

Anna and Old Man Hubba look surprised, then relieved when they see the two groups.

"Thank Naga, we're saved. I'm sorry I can't be of much help to you."

"Neither can I. I want to lend you my strength, but if I let go of Old Man Hubba, he'll probably die from one axe hit to the head."

"Saved, you say!? Keep dreamin'!", one of the three brigands says. Two of them start charging for Flynn's group, axes at the ready, while the remaining one hacks at the Ballista.

The seven bandits that didn't fight, including the leader, make it to the town and start attacking the buildings.

2/10


The Genie notices Neuff and Homura, and pauses upon seeing the sights of headbanging and a flashlight, never really having seen either before. ... Well, he's seen an electric light before, but not a portable one.

He appears curious, yet doubtful on if he should approach either of them. He knows Neuff, but she seems busy, and he doesn't know the other.

Laurent cooly dodge the axe attack, and draws a Inferno book, attempting to blast the bandit with a small fire tornado !

Hmph.

Meanwhile, Peri sees the reaver axe and knows, even through her bloodlust, that she has to be smart. Being smart, however, means throwing her sword at the other bandit and getting off her horse, drawing a spear tied to her back.

It does mean, however, that her sword is out of reach, and can be taken if it miss. However, there's an eerie red glow around her if she does succeed in killing the malevolent reaver...

I'LL KILL YOU ! THEN I'LL KILL YOUR GHOST ! WAAAHHHHHHHH !

Arthur attempts to cooly dive under the axe but he just trip and fall under it, planting his face under the ground.

Muhaha ! Brigands ! Flee before justice ! he says, brandishing an Iron Axe and attacking with it. His blows pack quite the strength, and the brigand might feel... unluckier around Arthur. However, the Fighter's attack lack accuracy.

Cynthia rally, raising the nearby allie's movement speed and allowing them to cross distances more easily. She use said speed to try to reach the bandit attacking the Ballista and skewer him with her Brave Spear !

I haven't found a cool quote yet, tsuah !

Neuff notices the Genie and her eyes kind of... shine ?

Oh hey, I recognize ya ! she says, heading out to try to get closer, holding up her hand.

Bandit Battle, Turn 2

Flynn would begin to rush forwards towards the nearest bandit, and would then stop short, attacking from archer or tome range. This would likely confuse some people, as he neither has a tome nor a bow. Flynn would begin chanting, before saying a certain word. "Bufu!" A lance of ice would launch at the bandit being targeted.

Madoka, in the meanwhile, rushing forwards, Would stop at a longer distance than flynn from her target, Seeming a bit worried. Madoka would tear up a bit, as her bowstring appears from her staff. She'd look at the bandit she's targeting, pulling the string back with a pink flaming arrow nocked. She'd then say "I'm sorry." She'd let the arrow fly.

Hat kid would run up beside flynn, smiling. She'd begin waving her hands in the air, and music would begin to fill up flynn's mind. Calming, encouraging music. Flynn would be reminded that nobody's going to mind if he doesn't act honorably, if he doesn't take an easy way. He won't be judged for keeping on going. Flynn gets a buff to all stats, and smirks.

Charles would move in to another bandit, casting a spell. He'd begin to recite... chemistry lessons. "Water vapor is comprised of both hydrogen and oxygen. When you take the hydrogen out and make hydrogen gas, you get a highly flamable compound. add in some oxygen outside of a normal bond, and there is a violent reaction." An explosion would occur in front of the bandit he's targeting, in shimmering air.


Genie

Homura would keep to the back, Listening in.

"Wha-"

Surprised by the agile mage, the brigand gets scorched and nearly falls off of the bridge, wide open to a follow-up attack.

The brigands don't expect this move from Peri, and the Iron Axe wielder gets impaled in the head, dead instantly.

The Axe Reaver wielder, after recovering from the shock, leaps over to his ally and takes his Iron Axe for himself, while standing in front of the sword to prevent Peri from getting to it.

"Le'ssee how well you'll do now, wench!"

Arthur's fumble allows him to dodge successfully, with the brigand he's up against actually thinking it was done on purpose.

"Oh no, this one's a genius!", he mutters, losing some of his confidence. "That explains the weird clothes."

He tries to deflect the attack, but fumbles with his grasp and gets hit in the arm as a result, dropping his Killer Axe.

"AAUGH! CRAP!"

The brigand near the Ballista turns to see Cynthia coming and blocks her first attack. Not anticipating a second, he gets stabbed through the chest and falls over, dead.

One of the two heading for Flynn's group gets caught off guard by the tomeless ranged ice attack, stabbed in the arm and dropping his Steel Axe.

"AUGH! YOU SONU-"

And then he gets headshot by Madoka. The other bandit stares in shock, then readies his Hand Axe to attack Charles... only to get really confused about his incantation.

"What the hell are you yammerin' ab-"

Cue the explosion that sends him flying off of the bridge.

All of the brigands in front or near the Ballista have been taken care of. Only a few near Cynthia's group remain on the bridge part of the fight, while the others are all busy ransacking the Hub Centralis.

"We'll be fine from here on out. Protect the town!", Anna calls out.

The town is still under attack. However, Jake walks out of one of the houses.

"Brigands? Here!? Wait, I know those ones! Do they never give up!? Ugh, I need to find Anna, but I can't just abandon this town. Damnit all, I'll take care of this."

Grabbing his Silver Axe, he charges for one of the brigands, taking him by surprise and beating him with one fell swoop.

"Oi, right, it's the blacksmiff! Honest guv! I'll deal wiv 'im meself!", the leader says, now charging for Jake.

Turn 3/10


The Genie looks back at Neuff now, smiling a little and letting her approach.

"Oh, hello. Are you here checking out the new places too?", he asks.

Laurent... switch to a regular wind spell to try to throw the bandit out of the bridge, clapping his hand once if he succeed.

Peri snarls and goes for the attack with her spear !

STOP TALKING ! DIE ! DIE ! DIEEEEEEEEEEEEE !

Arthur hangs back and prepare another strike !

Weird ? How dare you ! Those are the clothes of JUSTICE ! he says, swinging his axe... and, if he doesn't hit, just kind of spinning in place, overpowered by his own momentum and unable to stop his spin.

Cynthia nods and head for the town, using Galeforce to try to amplify her movements. To do so, she glows purple and accelerate, leaving a purple outline behind. If she succeed, then she attempts to swoop in and strike a bandit with her spear !

Not so fast, purple warrior ! Cynthia is there to help you in protecting this innocent town !

Yep ! It's pretty big yet familiar, somehow. Heh, looks like Thor would like the place.

She glance at Homura.

Oh, hey, a newcomer !

Bandit battle, Turn 3

Flynn would run towards town, remembering what happened to his hometown of Kiccigiorgi. He wouldn't allow another village to burn to the ground. He'd run right past any incoming bandits between him and the town. "We can't let this happen! These people aren't dying on my watch!"

Madoka, however, would experience an emotional breakdown. She'd begin weeping, falling to her knees. She'd be out of play for a while, as she looks towards the corpse of the bandit she felled. "I... I didn't expect it to be so... So gruesome... I've never killed a person this way... Why did it have to be like this..." Before her soul gem started to corrupt, Hat kid came over to comfort her, Raising her umbrella. The two would team up, with hat kid taking the lead to protect madoka.

In the meanwhile, Charles would run towards yet another bandit, but would stop short, somewhat exhausted. He's not in range for this spell... Damn it.


Genie

Homura would approach the genie and the other stranger, holding her flashlight in a way not to shine it directly into their eyes. She'd be hesitant to talk, but she'd eventually say "Hello"

The Wind succeeds in dealing with the brigand. Meanwhile, the brigand who has to deal with Peri actually looks afraid.

"Holy-she's insane!", he says, parrying her attack with his Iron Axe. Thinking quickly, he grabs his Swordreaver with his other hand and tries to throw it at Peri.

A little weirded out by the spinning, the brigand just tries to attack with his Killer Axe after picking it back up again, the shine and sharp sound indicating that he's about to land a critical hit.

However, upon swinging his axe, he hits Arthur's axe while he's still spinning, causing the brigand to lose his momentum and get knocked off of the bridge too, his Killer Axe landing on the bridge next to Arthur.

The brigands in the town aren't prepared to have someone swoop in, having thought the others would've taken care of all of those pests. As such, one of the six remaining brigands in the town is hit in the leg first, then the neck.

Two out of the brigands then charge for Cynthia, one carrying a Steel Axe and the other carrying a Hammer, and try to kill Cynthia's pegasus to limit her mobility. The other two regular brigands continue to torch the village, as the last one, the leader, now clashes with Jake, who has trouble keeping his footing against the Devil Axe-wielding leader.

"Yor girlie can't put the mockers on us, blacksmiff, and neever can yer!"

"Keep telling yourself that.", Jake says as he backs off from the axe struggle and switches to his Silver Bow, firing arrows at the leader.

Meanwhile, those two brigands that were still busy with the village now notice Flynn's group and stop what they're doing, getting ready to deal with them. One of them, carrying a Killer Axe, runs right towards Flynn. The other, carrying a Venin Axe, runs over towards Charles, intending to poison him with a strike of his axe.

Old Man Hubba and Anna look concerned about Madoka, and Anna's Spirit detaches from Old Man Hubba, floating over to her to try to comfort her too as she and Hat Kid presumably start going towards the town too.

"It's okay... you did what you had to do to defend us. Those people are ruthless, you didn't have a choice. You're not a bad person for trying to do the right thing."

Turn 4/10


"Thor? Dunno who that is."

He then looks at Homura too.

"Oh, you don't know her either?"

He smiles at her when she approaches and greets them.

"Yo.", he says, his smile looking silly. Probably to convey that he's not a threat right now.

The pegasus does get spooked by their weapons, and Cynthia is forced to dismount it, though she does grab her spear, unimpeded.

How dare you attack such an innocent animal ! she says. A friend of justice, too !

She consider her options, aware of how axes are effective against spears...

D'aw, I know I can't wield Falchion but I could've borrowed another kind of sword instead ! Stupid Cynthia !

Laurent, meanwhile, is making a run for the town, since he's unimpeded. Arthur, meanwhile, nearly fall off the bridge but catch himself and look down, grabbing the Killer Axe. Smiling, he tie it to a strap in his costume.

Yes ! A great tool was acquired !

Peri is actually hit in the shoulder by the weapon and back off, her rage briefly fading. She briefly touch her wound a little, in disbelief... but then rage on and start to try to rip the weapon out of her wound, more furious than ever !

WAAAHHHH ! IT HURTS ! IT HURTS ! BUT IT'LL HURT MORE FOR YOU ! she rages on, stepping forward.

Thor ? Tough guy, blond hair, armor, big hammer. He's a big ol' softie but he's been smiting fools. He's been doing it way way before the guys who created me ever had their parents met... because their parents were babies.

He's long-living. she coughs.

Bandit Fight, Continuing

Madoka would smile, standing up, Rushing alongside Hat kid to the town. If there's any bandits in between them and town however, Hat kid would move in for a vicious series of strikes with an umbrella. This umbrella would likely strike extremely hard for how it looks. Madoka and hat kid would have some dialogue, along with some talking to anna's spirit. "Thank you, Kid. Thank you, Miss. I... I guess you're right. I've never killed a person like that before. But now, I'm more confident." Hat kid, speaking up, says "You'll get used to it. Some of us even come to enjoy it! There's a certain thrill to a fight, after all!" SUPPORT LEVEL UP/SOCIAL LINK UP (Or whatever, if it even matters)

Flynn would be caught slightly off guard by the incoming axe, but due to the smirk, the axe blow would actually whiff. Flynn, rather annoyed, Would move in to attack the brigand with his sword.

Charles would take the hit from the axe dead on, Rather wounded, and now poisoned, most people would be in danger. Not charles. Charles would simply manipulate the poison itself to break down into other, less harmful, compounds, while in his veins. He'd then reply with his own magic. "How rude. If you're going to use poison against me, I might as well respond in kind." The air around the bandit would begin to shimmer and change. "Chlorine, Cl. Element 17 on the periodic table. When in a compound, is not too dangerous. On it's own as a gas however, It is a dangerous irritant and a chemical weapon forbidden by the laws of war." Chlorine gas would begin to fill the air around the brigand.


Genie encounter

Homura would do a quick nod towards both parties, speaking up afterwards. "It's nice to meet both of you. Sorry for not talking earlier. My name Is Homura Akemi. Please just call me Homura, Formalities don't suit me. Who are you?"

Anna smiles at Madoka, relieved that she seems to be alright now. She and Old Man Hubba stay near the Ballista, just in case.

"Innocent, bah. Just a meal at best.", one of the brigands says, swinging his axe at Cynthia. The other prepares to throw his axe at the pegasus regardless, but notices Laurent in the distance and throws it in his direction instead.

The one near Peri now looks pale.

"Good lord, she's a monster!", he cries out in terror. He attempts to make a run for it, but trips over the corpse of his ally, leaving him wide open for Peri's vengeance.

Flynn's attack is a success, stabbing the brigand in the neck with his sword, who just makes a choked-up, garbled noise before falling on the ground, dead.

The brigand near Charles grins at his success, then pauses at Charles' reply, then looks confused at his incantation, then alarmed when he realizes he's poisoned now too, and lastly, starts choking on the ingested Chlorine. He's done for regardless of if Charles finishes him off or not.

The leader switches to a Brave Axe and starts striking at Jake, managing to hit his bow and cleave it in half.

"Crap.", he growls, switching back to his Silver Axe and hoping it'll last through the onslaught of a Brave Axe.

"Why won't yer pests just die!?"

"We're stubborn.", Jake replies, barely dodging another strike.

Turn 5/10


"... doesn't ring a bell. But I don't really know that many people here.", the Genie says to Neuff. He turns back to Homura.

"I'm simply known as the Genie. Yeah, that kinda genie.", he says, demonstrating his powers by levitating, then making a hotdog appear out of thin air with a snap of his fingers. He proceeds to take a bite out of it.

"Just 'Genie' works though. The whole 'the' in front of it makes me sound like a stiff business person."

Cynthia is able to skillfully dodge and strike back from a distance, attempting to fight in a reserved manner until back up arrive. Laurent prepares a spell, but another throwing axe intercept the one already used, as Arthur springs forth.

Quick ! Aid our friend, for she is at a disadvantage !

Laurent nod and use Thoron, tossing a bolt of intense lightning at the offending brigand.

War Crime Simulator

Charles stares at the brigand he just downed, feeling sorry for him. He'd take something out of his coat, Pointing it at the brigand's head. It's a supressed 9mm pistol. He'd look to his target, saying "Laisse moi mettre fin à ta douleur" Before firing a few shots. He'd then look towards any other brigands watching.

Flynn, moving on, would try to find his way to the brigand leader. Having absolutely no honor, if he made it over to attack, Flynn would kick dust into the brigand's eyes before moving in to slash.

Hat kid and madoka would Single out a bandit in town, with madoka encouraging hat kid to do their best. Hat kid smiles, Moving in with their umbrella to beat the everliving hell out of the brigand they're after. IF there's any left.


Meet The genie

Homura would nod once more. "It's nice to meet you both..." And then she'd put two and two together, looking at the genie. "Hopefully you're not going to be offering me a wish over a contract or something. I've had some bad experiences with wishes being offered."

The brigand who's fighting Cynthia has some trouble keeping up with her.

"What in the-"

And then he gets Thoron'd, straight up dying to the powerful lightning tome.

As for the one near Peri...

well, due to the fact that there are children present on this battlefield, we feel obliged to not decribe what's going on before our eyes in any way, whether it be detailed or undetailed. Rest assured though, that brigand is so dead that even Death wouldn't be able to kill him as much as Peri did.

The Brigand near Charles is mercy-killed. He might've been grateful if he weren't... well, dead.

The only remaining non-leader brigand left, the one who's axe got intercepted by Arthur, get's beaten the s*** out of by Hat Kid's umbrella.

The brigand dies, but not from the umbrella. Moreso out of shame due to losing to an umbrella. Yes, really.

The leader, now the only one left, sees Flynn coming and simply swings once at Jake, slashing him across the arm and making him fall over in pain, then swings a second time, this time at Flynn. Unfortunately, there's no time for sand tricks.

"Where the chuffin' hell did yer come from!? Wot are them morons doin', lettin' yer frough! Struth!?"

Turn 6/10


He smirks.

"Oh, I don't give out wishes for free anymore. I used to do that when I was still an independant genie. But..."

He raises his arms, showing golden cuffs, one on each arm.

"I have a master now. I'm a full fledged Genie of the Ring. I can fulfill more wishes than a lamp genie, but mine can be overruled by theirs."

He lowers his arms and takes on a relaxed pose while still in the air.

"Of course, a bound Genie, whether ring or lamp, is still stronger than a free one. So my magic has still improved a lot, even if I'm not bound to a lamp. I decided on that myself though. Who wants to be stuck in a lamp for potentially thousands of years?"

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.

Yeah, being stuck to something is...

She grimaces.

Hurgh, can't even begin to imagine it. Freedom's the best.

Peri stands above her carnage, silently get her weapons + the reaver back, and start strapping them in.

Hm... it hurts, it HURTS ! HURTS ! she says, dashing for the town.

I AM NOT STEALING. I AM ACQUIRING GOODS FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME ! says Arthur, grabbing the fallen axe on top of his own. Laurent fire a... Fire spell, meanwhile, while Cynthia attempts to assist by doing a rallying cry for movement, though she's unable to attack for the round as a result.

being bandit is suffering

Madoka and hat kid would split up now, Moving towards the brigand leader. Madoka would draw back her bowstring, and hat kid would move into fighting range. However, they wouldn't attack yet. They'd be waiting for an opportunity.

Charles arrives at the town now, rather exhausted. Of course, he doesn't make it over to the bandit leader, but he's close... relatively.

Flynn would take the slash, being quite wounded. In fact, he's relatively close to death. Now, however, A suprise would come to the Brigand boss. Flynn would begin casting magic again... "Dia!" Some of the wounds on flynn's body would close. Now that's dealt with, Flynn would get in a stance, But instead of striking, he'd simply talk to the brigand leader.

"Your allies were cut down. You're the last one left. I'm not sure about everyone else here, But I'll give you one last chance to surrender peacefully. If you don't, I'll cut you down."


Freedom

Homura would look away briefly. "Freedom. Such a strange thing. Is one ever truly free?"

The leader raises his axe, then actually looks surprised when Flynn tries to talk to him. He laughs.

"Oh, right, yor a funny one, ain't yer, then, mate? Yer fink some brat scares me, eh, squire? I'm more frightened of the Secret Seller than of yer, wee mage boy."

He's then startled and drops his axe when Jake manages to trap him in a hold, holding his Silver Axe in front of him with both hands while Jake himself is behind the brigand.

"What in-"

"We've tried talking to him several times already. Don't bother with it, take him down!", Jake calls out to everyone. Laurent's Fire Spell hits the leader in the face, and he gets frightened by the realization that he's at their mercy.

"W-wait, no, I give up!"

"You're not escaping this time.", Jake says, not wavering for even a moment.


"I couldn't agree more. And being tied to a ring is better in that regard. I don't have to go into the ring, I just have to teleport over to it if it's being used to summon me. Simple as that.", Genie says. He then looks at Homura and shrugs.

"Dunno, but I'm happy with the amount I have. It could've been much less."

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.
