Kasai has gone into surgery. Alice has gathered the finest group of doctors she could find to perform the operation, but you're still somewhat nervous.

You'd hoped that some meditation would allow you to calm yourself until she comes out of surgery, but, of course, that's been interrupted.

Koenma, in his older form, stands before you, clearing his throat as he looks down at you. His arms are crossed, but his expression is patient.

"Do you have a minute?" he asks politely.

>A. Yes

>B. No

>C. Make it quick

>D. Dialogue writein

>E. Something else

>>42608393
>A. Yes
Dun dun dun

>>42608393
Must be serious if you needed to get all bishonen on me. Shoot.

>>42608393
>A. Yes

Probably about Bruce's parents

>>42608393
A>>42608414

>>42608414
"Yes," you tell him, rising to your feet.

Koenma uncrosses his arms, looking to the side and lowering his head just a bit. "I've been told that Alice's people have nearly finished constructing bodies for Bruce's parents. From what I hear, they've done a remarkable job, and their faces even look similar to how they did before."

You get the feeling he isn't here with good news, despite his supposed praise of the work Alice and her people have done.

"I've been working with my people in Spirit World, trying to figure out if we can get Bruce's parents into these new bodies," he explains. "The conclusion we've reached...well, it's not a particularly good one."

He raises his head and looks at you. "We can put the spirits into the bodies, but I'm afraid it won't work as we'd hoped. You see, these new bodies may be similar to the old ones, but they still aren't the bodies the Spirits inhabited. They lack the necessary connection and shared wavelength. Bruce's parents entering the bodies would amount to nothing more than a possession, one they could only continue as long as the bodies hold together. And, without spirits properly inhabiting them, the bodies will deteriorate rather quickly."

>A. So there's no way to bring them back?

>B. Maybe a chance to say goodbye will be enough for Bruce

>C. Ask if there isn't anything else he can do

>D. Dialogue writein

>E. Say nothing

>F. Something else

>>42608680
>>C. Ask if there isn't anything else he can do to maybe adjust the wavelengths of the bodies

>>42608680
>B. Maybe a chance to say goodbye will be enough for Bruce

>B. Maybe a chance to say goodbye will be enough for Bruce

>>42608680
>A. So there's no way to bring them back?
"Maybe some way to rewrite their spirit energy in a sense that isn't harmful to them, like replacing a broken port on a computer. Isn't there a way we can adjust their wavelength that fits the bodies or vice versa?"

>>42608680
>>C. Ask if there isn't anything else he can do

"I know you've already done so much for me, but if you can find anyway to bring them back good as new, I'll owe you one. Anything you need done, no matter how dirty or under the table, I'll do it."

>>42608680
Is there anyway or any item that can help us?

I'm down for anything to help Bruce.

"So Bruce, you know that scene in Beetle Juice where they force the ghosts to life? Like that."

"There isn't anything else you can do?" you ask. "I know you've already done a lot for me, but if you can find any way to bring them back good as new, I'll owe you one. Anything you need done, no matter how dirty or under the table, I'll do it."

Koenma arches an eyebrow, and you think he's actually considering your offer. But, he ultimately sighs and shakes his head.

"John, the dead are usually supposed to stay that way," Koenma tells you. "Reviving Bruce's parents was a long shot from the beginning. I can let them enter the new bodies temporarily so they can say goodbye to their son, but, after that, just let them rest."

>A. You understand

>B. You won't accept that, you'll find a way to bring them back

"The otherworld's actions ultimately caused the death of them. They wouldn't have died like this in their natural, unaltered life. They deserve a second chance because of that, don't they?"

>>42609383
"You hesitated for a moment," you tell him. "Listen, I need to know if there's any way. A small chance, hell even a miracle or something. What's the worst that can happen?"

"I really wish you wouldn't say things like that," Koenma tells you. "Look, there may be ways to bring them back, but none of them are good. You'd have to do terrible things to make it happen."

>A. You're willing to do that

"Why is everyone always so cryptic?" you ask in annoyance. "Getting enough information for an informed decision is like pulling teeth. Tell me what kinds of things I would have to do, and I won't have to go asking among less scrupulous people."

Now Koenma looks angry. "Fine! You want to know? You'd have to kill people and destroy their souls, or capture and torment spirits, that sort of thing! And I refuse to tell you how to use these methods! If you want to know that badly, go talk to Koe, and don't contact me again."

"Now was that so difficult? Not doing that."

>>42610370
"About damn time someone is straight with me. If I have to kill to save them, there's no point. Don't string my hopes out like that."

Then leave

>>42610391
"Nevermind," you tell him.

Koenma nods. "Look, John. Bruce will be able to see his parents one more time, say goodbye to them. It's more than most people get. I know it's not what you hoped for, but it's the best I can do. I'm sorry. I just thought you should know."

He turns and begins to walk away. "And I'd recommend you be careful with your temper right now. Demon Energy takes hold far more easily when your emotions run wild."

>>42611095
Eh. He lost his temper. Feels like he doesn't get called on his bull nearly often enough.

>>42610660
>>42610735
"Wait, how'd you know about the demon energy?" you ask.

"I watched your fight with Belial," Koenma answers. "I saw you remove the cuffs, and the change in the color of your energy. I may be young, but I'm not an idiot."

"Well, thanks for the warning," you tell him.

Koenma nods, giving you the peace sign as he leaves. You return to meditating, calming yourself down and keeping your energy in check. But, you soon hear another voice in your head.

"John...I'm sorry to interrupt your meditation, my friend, but we have something serious to discuss," Koe tells you. "It's not something we can simply discuss in the open, so I need you to come to my castle, where we may speak freely."

>A. Ask him to bring you there

>>42611383
What's the difference between a and b?

>>42611300
>A. Ask him to bring you there

>>42611487
There isn't one

>>42611328
"I'll be right there, if you can bring me there," you tell him.

Everything goes dark, and you feel incredibly cold as you are transported to Koe's throne room. You look up to see Koe in his throne, and to your left to see Aalgan, looking at you with a neutral expression.

"I appreciate you coming so quickly," Koe tells you, shooting a glare as Aalgan begins snickering.

Koe gestures to your teammate. "I sent Aalgan to investigate some of the abandoned outposts of our enemy. For the most part, he found little of note, but in his most recent excursion, he came across some information that could change things considerably."

"It seems Spirit World isn't the ally we thought they were," Aalgan tells you.

>A. Ask what he means

"Wait, what are talking about? What type of information did you find that lead to this train of thought?"

>>42611669
>A. Ask what he means

>>42611669
Koenma's been double crossing us?

Huh. Here I thought we'd be the one who did the double crossing. Kinda impressed.

>>42611669
>>B. Ask what he found
Damn it, Koenma. This is why nobody likes you.

>trusting demons on their word

>>42611830
Koe has The Grapes. Of course he's trustworthy.

>>42611713
"What did you find?" you ask Aalgan.

"It seems King Enma has been helping our enemies," Aalgan tells you, producing a worn looking book. "According to this journal, Kuraidesu's army has been supplied with fresh recruits, courtesy of King Enma himself. Some of Enma's top men have been delivering demons apprehended by Spirit World to some of the outposts."

"The journal also states that King Enma has been supplying them with information about the King of Demon World," Koe tells you. "Plans are apparently being made to strike at various targets in the Demon World once your world falls."

>A. Ask to see the journal

>B. Ask if Koenma and Kara are in on it

>C. You don't buy it

>D. Dialogue writein

>E. Ask what should be done

>F. Something else

>>42611976
>A. Ask to see the journal

>>42611976
>B. Ask if Koenma and Kara are in on it
Why would he be doing that?

>>42611976
>A. Ask to see the journal
>B. Ask if Koenma and Kara are in on it
At least John know's Kara isn't in on it cause of her past

>>42611976
Okay.
So how strong is Enma? Are we strong enough to slap his shit and tell him he's been a bad judger of souls.

>>42611976
>"I'm not buying it. Very easy to hastily make up some information to sow distrust between their enemies when you know you are in trouble."

>>42611976
>E. Ask what should be done

>>42612079

>>42611976
>>D. Dialogue writein
"Looks like someone's running a false flag on us to me. What makes you so sure its genuine? "

>>42611976
>C. You don't buy it

Might be a good idea to memorize some of the names on the list to ask Kara if she ever caught any of these demons.

>>42612004
"Can I see the journal?" you ask.

Aalgan hands it to you, and you begin flipping through pages. You stop at one that catches your eye.

"King Enma's men brought us two more recruits today. Their names are Gouki, and Rando. Apparently Rando was an expert human hunter who killed ninety-nine psychics before a Spirit Detective managed to bring him down. The other guy just seems like a brute, but given the strength of his kind, he might end up earning his keep. Enma's men warned us that things aren't going so well at the Dark Tournament. Ronove's attempt to manipulate the demon hunter failed, and the Demon Hunter's team are advancing quickly. Those Spirit World idiots actually seem to think Lord Belial won't be able to stop this guy. In any case, we'll be ready to attack the local town in a few days if all goes well. Disanto's sent us a few hundred cultivated humans. Between them and our demon soldiers, the humans won't even put up a fight."

You turn the pages, finding another entry.

"We're evacuating the outpost. We just heard that Belial's been killed, along with Johnson. Lilith and Vepar escaped, but his majesty wants us to abandon the outposts for now so the army can regroup and develop a new strategy. Our allies in Spirit World are going to provide us with portals out of this world. I can't believe this has happened."

The rest of the pages are blank.

"Do you think Koenma and Kara are in on this?" you ask.

"If Enma's in charge of this, I'm sure Junior's involved somehow," Aalgan tells you. "But I doubt Kara would knowingly help a demon army."

"Truthfully, I don't know if Lord Koenma or Kara are involved," Koe tells you. "I'm not even entirely convinced that these writings are genuine. But, it would explain how they were able to abandon their outposts so quickly."

>A. You don't buy it

>B. Ask what he suggests

>C. Suggest that you and Aalgan check out the one outpost that hasn't been abandoned

>D. Dialogue writein

>E. Something else

I don't buy it

>>42612619
>C. Suggest that you and Aalgan check out the one outpost that hasn't been abandoned
"This intel seems to good to be true, but at the same time maybe we can fill in all of the pieces of the puzzle if we go after that last outpost that hasn't been abandon"

>>42612619
>Ronove's attempt to manipulate the demon hunter failed
Those sunglasses were a trap

>>42612619
>C. Suggest that you and Aalgan check out the one outpost that hasn't been abandoned
We need more info, our alliance with the spirit world is too useful to end with so little evidence

>>42612619
>C. Suggest that you and Aalgan check out the one outpost that hasn't been abandoned

>>42612677
"How about Aalgan and I check out the one outpost that hasn't been abandoned?" you suggest.

Koe smiles. "Yes, I was going to suggest the same thing. I believe the two of you will be more than capable of handling this while the rest of your team is out of commission. I can transport you close to the outpost, and the two of you can approach on foot."

"You want this to be a quiet, in and out sort of thing, or do you want us to just kill everyone there?" Aalgan asks.

"I'll leave that to your discretion," Koe answers. "Use whatever methods and strategy you see fit, just make sure that you don't destroy anything that's potentially valuable."

>>42613021
"I'm ready," you tell Koe.

"Very well, then," he replies. "I will transport you where you need to go. But, first I should mention that I've repaired your suit. You will have a helmet again when you use it."

Everything goes dark and cold, and you find yourself in a field, on the other side of which stands a two story house. It looks kind of nice, actually. No fences, no signs of abandonment or even negligent homeowners. In fact, you see an old woman sweeping the front porch.

Aalgan draws his daggers, twirling them around and starting across the field.

>>42613193
"Don't attack the old lady yet," you tell Aalgan, fishing into your pocket and retrieving the Psychic Spyglass.

Aalgan rolls his eyes as you approach the house, looking at the lady through the spyglass. Sure enough, you spot a small pair of horns beneath her hair, and claws on her hands.

You say the word, activating your suit, and Aalgan rushes forward. The demon granny, clearly knowing she's been found out, drops her broom and pulls out a dagger, rushing towards Aalgan. Aalgan's blades extend into swords, and the demon drops and rolls to his side, coming up and stabbing at Aalgan's thigh. Aalgan manages to deflect the stab with his left blade while spinning and decapitating the demon with his right.

The demon's head rolls away, and Aalgan shrinks his blades back into daggers.

"No real point in stealth here," Aalgan tells you. "Odds are that little exchange let them know we're coming. We might as well go in guns blazing and take them all down."

>A. You want to try being sneaky (try to quietly enter through the front)

"How about I play the distraction, and you flank them, Mr. Not-so-subtle?" you ask.

Aalgan rolls his eyes. "Whatever. I'll head around to the back. If you're just going to break in the front door anyway, though, this serves absolutely no purpose."

He circles the house, and you give him a moment to reach the back door before using a Spirit Blast to break through the door.

You hear a demon scream as he's caught in your blast, and step inside to find about a dozen more waiting for you, weapons drawn. Another Sprit Blast takes out a trio of demons who are rushing at you, and a kick to the throat sends another demon crashing through a wall.

You rush forward, ducking beneath arrows fired by another pair of demons. You grab them by the arms and slam them into one another. As they slump to the ground, you catch the wrist of a demon who attempted to stab you from behind. You twist his arm until it breaks, then use him to shield yourself from an axe strike from another. You kill the axe-wielder with a chop to the throat, and finish off the rest with some jets of flame.

Aalgan steps into the room, a bored expression on his face as he surveys the bodies.

"Told you sneaking was pointless," he comments.

>>42614108
You don't say another word to Aalgan, but make your way to a nearby doorway which leads to stars descending into darkness. You flip on the light switch, and start down the stairs, Aalgan following close behind.

Reaching the basement, you find another pair of demons waiting for you, but dispatch them with ease. You and Aalgan take a look around, but find nothing of note.

"This doesn't make sense," Aalgan comments. "Why post men down here if there's nothing to protect? If they were planning to ambush us, they could have done it sooner."

He shakes his head. "I don't get it."

"No? It doesn't seem overly complicated," a voice says from the stairs.

You turn to see a thin, gray-skinned man with a bald head and red lines all over his face step to the basement floor.

"I'll put it in simple terms," he tells Aalgan. "This is a trap."

Aalgan curses to himself, drawing his blades.

The man smirks, drawing two swords. "Yes, I'm afraid there's nothing of value to be found in this little outpost, though it still serves a purpose. It serves as wonderful bait for my prey."

Also everyone who knew this was a trap, raise your hand.

....everybody? Huh.

>>42614558
>B. Spirit Blast
With fire

>>42614607
You thrust a hand towards your new foe, unleashing a blast of Spirit Energy with a bit of fire mixed into it.

The man raises his blade, putting it between himself and your attack. Your blast becomes smaller, all of it focusing into the blade, and, as you watch, vanishing into it. The blade glows, and the man smiles.

"Is that really all you've got, my boy?" he asks, taking a step towards you.

Aalgan grows his daggers into swords and rushes towards your foe, only to be blasted back by a beam of light from the man's sword. As Aalgan crashes into the wall, the man shakes his head in amusement.

"You have zeal, but you're woefully overconfident and reckless," the man chastises, looking back at you. "Now, if accounts of your behavior are anything to go by, there's little chance of you surrendering. But, it's only fair that I afford you the opportunity. Surrender now, and I'll bring you in alive. Deactivate your precious suit, get on your knees, and place your hands behind your back. Otherwise, well, I'm sure I don't need to explain myself."

"Who are you?" you ask. "And what's with that weird sword of yours?"

"My name is of little importance, and I'm not about to divulge the secrets of my weapons," he replies, pointing a sword at your throat. "Now, I'd rather you made no attempts to stall, so I'll say this one last time. Deactivate the suit, get on your knees and place your hands behind your back."

and then grab our boy and haul ass.

>>42615041
I'll vote this because i don't have a better plan

>>42614998
>E. Spirit Explosion
Then fire a spirit gun at the roof of the basement quickly and grab Aalgan while the guy is trying to get back on his feet

>>42614998
>J. Something else
A spirit gun but use the demon energy for fuel and our firee if possible

>>42615041
It might not work. Let's not grab him just yet

>>42615103
Fuck, forgot to add escape. Might be a good idea to use the demon energy here for an extra push.

Too bad our flying sucks.

>>42615041
>>42615077
>>42615108
You channel Spirit Energy into your right finger, quickly taking aim at your foe's face.

"SPIRIT GUN!" you shout.

A thin, purple beam of light shoots from your finger, surrounded by flames. Your foe quickly brings up his blade, and you watch your blast vanish into it.

"Did you truly not learn your lesson last time?" the man asks, pointing his blade at you and striking you in the chest with a beam of light from his blade.

You're sent flying backwards, narrowly missing Aalgan as you crash into the wall.

"And here I'd hoped you'd provide me with a challenge," the man comments, stepping forward. "But, I suppose that was asking too much. Well, if you can't provide me with good sport, and lack the intelligence to surrender, I suppose I'll just have to dispose of you."

He smiles, stepping even closer. "Ready to die?"

Aalgan tosses a dagger at the man, who casually deflects it. As the dagger nears the ceiling, something in it explodes, creating a hole large enough for the two of you to make it through.

"Hmm, not a bad strategy," the man comments, turning his attention to Aalgan. "But you can't outrun me. I'll hunt you down wherever you go."

>A. Get up and attack

>B. Go through the hole in the ceiling

>C. Something else

>D. Dialogue writein

>>42615416
>>B. Go through the hole in the ceiling
grab Aalgan and get out of there and into open ground.

>>42615416
>B. Go through the hole in the ceiling
Grab Aalgan, launch spirit blasts from our feet for an extra speed boost

>>42615416
>Fly out. Grab Aalgon and spirit explosion and believe in fairies and think happy thoughts. Shoot out like a rocket launch.

>>42615416

>B.

We really should have worked out that his sword absorbs spirit energy. It might be possible to overwhelm it but.. there's really no time to find out. We need to run.

>>42615416
Attack simultaneously so he can't block it. Have aalgan throw multiple daggers at once and hit him with a spirit gun

>>42615510

Wait, how many spirit guns do we have these days?

...It's been a while since I last checked in.

>>42615440
You grab Aalgan by the arm and jump. It would have been a simple matter to do it on your own, but Aalgan's added weight makes you nearly fail to jump high enough. You send Sprit Blasts from your feet to get a little extra boost, and land in the living room upstairs.

The two of you begin running for the door as the man leaps up behind you, pointing his blade toward you and firing another blast that catches you in the back, sending you sprawling on the front porch.

Half a dozen demons come running down the stairs, flanking the man, while another four cut you off in front of the porch. You push yourself back to your feet, finding yourself entirely surrounded. Aalgan, down to one dagger, prepares to fight.

>A. Try leaping over the demons in front of you

>B. Spirit Explosion

>C. Surrender

>D. Dialogue writein

>E. Something else

>>42615590
This isn't looking good.

I know this is a rarity for quests but:
>C. Surrender

>>42615590
>D. Dialogue writein
"Aalgan are you as agile as a cat?"
>B. Spirit Explosion

Launch him in the air, use our spirit blasts to give him an extra push so he has a better view to launch his dagger, while we spirit explosion everyone on the ground and Aalgan won't get caught by it.

>>42615590
>Ningen

Let Aalgon go free and unharmed and I will cooperate. Take me to your boss.

>>42615641
Wait, fuck we're still inside the house arn't we? Never mind then

>>42615590
>>B. Spirit Explosion
warn Aalagan

>>42615657

He'll kill him as soon as he starts to leave.

No good if somebody gets word back about who has you and sends help.

Better to have him go with you so you can try and work out an escape together.

>>42615590
>B. Spirit Explosion
Get aalgan out of the blast radius first

>>42615706
Good point.

I'm thinking Koe sent us on a trap on purpose to get captured anyway.

>>42615714
How? He's surrounded, same as you

>>42615667
>>42615714
>>42615729

....I have a bad feeling.

>>42615590
>E. Something else
Fire balls, we should be able to make a large amount of them instantly or use the spirit blast towards the group in front of us while Aalgan turns his remaining dagger into a sword covering our back.

>>42615590
>C. Surrender

>>42615590
>>C. Surrender

>>42615590
Use spirit blasts to take them out
Don't surrender pussies

>>42615590
>E. Something else
Make Aalgan cover our back with his dagger sword magic while we spirit blast the four demons that are blocking the porch escape route.

>>42615868
Dude. The guy has energy absorbing swords!

You can't compete with that.

>>42615905
We can still beat these normal demons and escape

>>42615868
Somnius wants a captive arc, any non-surrender votes are just votes for "you get captured anyway, but something stupid happens first."

>>42615667
You're desperate, so you take desperate measures.

You gather your Spirit Energy, and unleash it in an explosion of purple light. You warn Aalgan to look out, but hear him scream along with the demons as your blast consumes them.

But, your blast quickly vanishes, and you see the man holding his blade towards you. Not only is he unharmed, but the demons that were flanking him also seem to have survived the blast unscathed. The demons on the porch, and Aalgan were not so lucky.

Aalgan is the only one to be hit and survive, but he's not doing so good. He's on the ground, his body burnt badly. Before you can do anything to try and help him, a blast of light hits you in the chest, throwing you backwards off the porch and sending you crashing back to the ground.

The man steps out onto the porch, stomping on Aalgan's hand, forcing him to drop his dagger. The remaining demons move to surround you.

"Now, doesn't this seem familiar?" the man asks. "Surrender, and your friend may be allowed to live."

>A. Surrender

>B. Get up and prepare to defend yourself

>C. Try to run

>D. Dialogue writein

>E. Spirit Explosion

>F. Something else

Get out and level the whole building on these ass holes.

>>42615932
>>A. Surrender

>>F. Something else
Kill Aalgan.

Whoops.

>>42615932
>A. Surrender

>>42615932
>A. Surrender
That's bullshit
Obviously we wouldn't do it if he couldn't get out of the way

>>42615932

Fuck, I knew it.

>A. Roll over

I told you guys it wasn't looking good!

>>42615979
You voted to do it while the two of you were completely surrounded. So, you know...obviously you would.

>>42615932
>Surrender

We gotta be punished before we learn.

>>42616021
Doing it was dependent on him getting out of the way. Clearly stated in the votes.

>>42616044
Aalgan had nowhere to go and no one provided a back up if he couldn't.

>>42615958
"I surrender," you tell the man.

"Wonderful," he replies, smiling. "So good of you to see reason. Unexpected, but a pleasant surprise, to be sure."

Aalgan chuckles, then coughs.

"You find something amusing?" the man asks him.

"Just...the fact that you didn't learn your lesson from last time," Aalgan says, turning his head to look at you and giving you a smile.

You see the man's eyes widen, and Aalgan's dagger explodes, throwing the man off of his feet and doing the same to four of the demons surrounding you.

Aalgan's body is scorched beyond recognition, and he isn't moving. His chest isn't even rising or falling.

He's dead.

The man growls in frustration, gripping his sword and beginning to get back up.

>A. Get up and run

>B. Get up and attack

>C. Get good and pissed

>D. Dialogue writein

>E. Surrender

>F. Something else

>>42616085

God damn it why did I vote for the spirit explosion when we were surrounded?

>>42616085
>C. Get good and pissed
I wanna steal that fuckin overpowered sword

>>42616085

Shit, now that he's sacrificed himself I don't want to go ahead with the surrender.

I also don't want us to go full demon but...

>C. get good and pissed

The most honest response I can give...

>>42616085
>C. Get good and pissed

>>42616109
>>42616112
Death of a friend because we fucked up is good enough I suppose to trade our humanity.

Think we'll get the dragon of the darkness flame as a demon?

>>42616085
>>C. Get good and pissed
Lets just go for it

>>42616112
You feel surprise, you feel sadness, but mostly, you feel rage. You can feel yourself trembling with anger as the man gets back to his feet.

"Oh, did that upset you?" the man asks, looking down at you as you continue to tremble with anger. "Oh, yes. Good, good, let the hate flow through you! Hahahahaha!"

The man laughs, and you feel yourself growing even more enraged. A purple glow surrounds you, and it quickly turns red. The man continues to chuckle as you rise to your feet, though the other demons take a step back.

Your vision blurs, and you feel a terrible pain in your mouth and forehead. The man stops chuckling, staring at you with interest and caution. He takes a single step back, dropping into a fighting stance and readying his blades.

>A. Spirit Explosion

>B. Attack head on

>C. Drop into a defensive stance

>D. Dialogue writein

>E. Something else

>>42616085
>B. Get up and attack
I never liked Aalgan anyway.

>>42616250
>B. Attack head on
Melee attacks only but avoid the sword

>>42616250
Fist of the Mortal Flame!

Let's test this demon hood out.

>>42616250
>>C. Drop into a defensive stance
God damn it he was an ass but he was an ally.

>>42616250
>B. Attack head on
I have a feeling no energy attacks will work when he has that sword

>>42616250

No more fucking spirit explosions.

>C. Drop into a defensive stance

>D. Dialogue write-in

"Try and take me alive, you veiny buffoon."

>>42616256
Aalgan was honest.

And his sarcasm was appreciated.

>>42616250
>B. Attack head on

>>42616250
Rip and tear.
Etc etc etc
I'm not even mad. Just....disappointed.

>we will never have Aalgan bedtime stories again

>>42616275
>>42616288
>>42616349

The guy is clearly a defensive fighter who absorbs damage. You're going to run directly towards his sword to engage at close range instead of making him come to you.

Think about it.

>>42616404
He absorbs energy, not damage.

>>42616250
>C. Drop into a defensive stance
We need to stun his arms and knock off those swords, use his momentum against him.

>>42616404
He also can probably use that ranged sword attack on us again with the energy he absorbed earlier

>>42616435
We need to take swords away and then repeatedly stab him with his own weapons until it stops being fun.

So since we're a demon now I say we reasses our plans.

I say we embrace it, eventually betray Koe and rule demon realm with Kasai at our side. Maybe we'll meet Yusuke eventually

>>42616480
Go fuck yourself.

>>42616480
He's busy running a ramen shop in Japan.

>>42616505
What's your problem?

>>42616256
You rush away from the demons surrounding you, striking at the man who killed Aalgan with all of the fury you can muster. Your first punch is easily avoided, and it takes some quick footwork to keep you from being skewered by a retaliatory stab from your foe. You slam your elbow into his face and he staggers back, but manages to duck beneath the kick you follow up with. He moves behind you and stabs, but you lean aside and catch his arm in your own. You spin, elbowing him in the face and following with a punch that knocks him to the ground. He rolls out of the way as you attempt to stomp on him, and gets back to his feet.

The demons that have survived rush at you, and you quickly dispatch them with a Spirit Blast. You turn back to your foe just in time to get a knee to the jaw, followed by a slash that slices through your armor and cuts down your chest. You narrowly avoid a stab, turning and doing a spin-kick that catches your foe in the face. You take advantage of his disorientation and strike him again with a burning fist, but he quickly recovers, kicking inside your thigh and causing your leg to buckle. He bashes the hilt of one sword into your face, sending you sprawling on your back, and stabs down with the other, missing you by centimeters as you roll out of the way, kicking at his leg and forcing him to fall beside you.

He quickly rolls away as you try to elbow him, and climbs back to his feet. You do the same, and the two of you stand facing each other.

"I do think I've humored you long enough," he tells you, spinning his swords. "It's time for you to join your friend."

>A. Tell him killing Aalgan was a mistake

>>A. Tell him killing Aalgan was a mistake
>C. Go on the defensive

>>42616584
>A. Tell him killing Aalgan was a mistake
>C. Go on the defensive
Use his momentum against him, the main objective is to get rid of his swords before killing him.

>>42616584
>A. Tell him killing Aalgan was a mistake

Technically, Aalgan killed himself.

>>42616584
>C. Go on the defensive

>>42616584

>A

Then

>C

Normally I'd meet his offensive with an offensive but we need to be cautious around those swords and try to disarm him... maybe if we can grip and burn his hands while he's extended on a swing.

>>42616584
>C. Go on the defensive

>>42616640

Technically we killed Aalgan....

>>42616685
Technically SOM killed Aalgan.

By your logic.

>>42616584
>C. Go on the defensive
When he attacks dodge, grapple, and bite his throat with our new demon teeth

>>42616685
No, we severely wounded Aalgan. He totally could've survived.

>>42616616
You drop into a defensive stance. "What you did to Aalgan was a mistake."

"Why? Because you have no one left to die for you?" the man asks, smirking.

He glances to his right. "Hmm...perhaps I stand corrected."

You follow his gaze and see a shape zipping over the trees towards you. As it draws closer, you recognize Kaya, moving towards you as fast as she can on her oar.

"John, come on!" she shouts as she swoops down towards you.

>A. Hop onto her oar

>B. Tell her to stay back

>C. Attack your foe

>D. Dialogue writein

>E. Something else

>>42616718
>>A. Hop onto her oar

>>42616718
>A. Hop onto her oar

>>42616730
As Kaya swoops down, you leap onto her oar, narrowly avoiding a slice from your enemy. The two of you fly away, leaving your foe far behind as you soar over the trees.

Kaya glances back at you, a look of concern on her face. "Wait...didn't Aalgan come with you? Where is he?"

You are not going to enjoy explaining this to everyone.

>To be continued

That's it for this chapter, next one should be within the next few days. Follow me @qmdralo to see when I'm running this, or DBZ Human Quest Super.

I'll stick around to answer some questions/discuss the quest for a while

>>42616822
god we fucked up with the explosion idea didn't we.

>>42616822
Today is not Bruce's day, first his parents won't be able to come back permanently, his teacher dies, and now his best friend has turned into a demon.

>>42616822
So was that sword guy and who was the one that set up the trap?

>>42616833
Yep

>>42616849
Being Bruce is suffering.

>>42616860
So what's Koenma's and Koe's opinion about the events that happened, since I know they were watching.

>>42616718
>>42616822

Well.... at least we're more powerful now?

Sheesh, this was rough. I'm glad we made it out alive though.

>>42616859
He's your enemy, beyond that, you'll have to find out on your own. But yes, he set the trap.

>>42616882
Koenma's wondering what the hell you and Aalgan were thinking...then he realized it was probably Koe's idea. He's glad Kaya got you out in time.

Koe's sad to see Aalgan go, but is glad you're alive.

>>42616884
Your power's currently about the same, but more volatile.

>>42616911
Would going up the stairs would have made escaping easier?

>>42616911
can we have a different story arc other than
>enemy is invincible
>we train
>we beat enemy

>>42616950
He's not invincible, had the fight continued, it could have gone either way.

We don't get a new member anon. Don't you see? We have to be punished
