Outside of their hideout, Sarah finds Christina standing in the wilderness looking up into the night sky. Standing behind her Sarah informs Christina that it's time to address the out members of Anges du sol before their battle with the Tucsons and the duke. To which Christina replies I know before making her way back inside ignoring her sister as she passes. As Christina passes by Sarah extends her hand out to her sister but pulls back at the last second deciding to leave the family drama until after the battle is won. Sarah rests her hand on her forehead well shaking her head as she slowly follows the still upset Christina inside.
Back inside the hideout members of the Anges du sol surrounded Sarah and Christina as they made their per battle speech to the group. Kiyoshi stood off in the back to a corner drinking as Sarah starts.
"My fellow sisters and brothers, we stand here today awaiting our greatest test ever. We await battle with the Tucsons and the Duke. Though we may be outnumbered and outmatched, we will overcome as we always have. Now and forever we stand against those who will use their powers on the weak and vulnerable. Tonight we have a special guest the person who rescued me from the Tucson's stronghold. The blood samurai! May you please present yourself here for everyone to see." Remarked Sarah as everyone turned their attention to Kiyoshi who was still sitting in a corner drinking.
Kiyoshi slowly made his way to where Sarah and Christina are, as members of the Anges du sol make way for the legendary samurai to pass. All eyes focused on Kiyoshi as he presented himself to both Christina and Sarah.
"Thank you for joining us, samurai." Remarked Sarah as Kiyoshi stands next to her.
"Kiyoshi before we begin on behalf of me and all of Anges du sol thank you for saving my sister." Declared Christina with a smile of adoration. To which Kiyoshi simply nods his head.
"Now we must ask you to pledge yourself once again to us and what we stand for. But unfortunately, I can't afford to pay you as I did before. But will one lend us your strength once more samurai?" Christina declared pouring her heart and soul into her words as if everyone in attendance's lives depended on it.
For a moment the place grew quiet before Kiyoshi strolled his way to Christina presenting himself to her dropping himself on one of his knees as he presented his sword to her. Trapping Christina in a hypnotizing trans as she stares at the ancient and demonic symbols of the sword's hilt and the permanent stain of blood on the sword's blade.
"My sword and my life I give them to you. Until your battle is won you may do what you wish with both." Replied Kiyoshi, causing Christina to blush whilst twirling her hair within his fingers barely being able to mumble the words thank you.
"Not only are you a legendary swordsman but you are also a Casanova as well." Remarked Sarah interrupting Christina's and Kiyoshi's brief moment of flirting.
"Now that we the blood samurai fighting for our cause. I can now lay out the battle plans for tomorrow." Sarah continued as everyone's focus was locked on her.
"Tomorrow we end Tucson and the duke Louis Raphael Adamson Pier control over the town of lutter en paix and everywhere in between. Tomorrow we fight for not only ourselves but for everything we have fought for over the years. Tomorrow Christina will lead the archers and snipers from the out shirks and entrances of the town and with her ability perfect sight, she should be able to remove any obstacle in our way.
Secondly, the blood samurai and I will charge into battle and fight off the soldiers that will most likely be attacking the town searching for us." Remarked Sarah before being interrupted by another halfling, one with long silver hair braided in a long ponytail and dark brown eyes
"But commander if I may? Usually, you and I take to do these things together. Can you really trust this (blood samurai) to protect you and watch your back? I understand that he saved our beloved leader but didn't our second in command has to pay for his services. Now that we can't pay him what is stopping him from joining the Tucson's side if the price is right. Am I sorry for speaking out of terms and questioning your judgment my commander but I will give up my life to protect both you and the vice commander and everyone else in Anges du sol so I just want to make sure we can trust him?" Remarked the silver hair halfling as she stares at Kiyoshi with violent intent and softly places her hand on her sword before Christina steps in as Kiyoshi's defense.
"I trust him. How about you sister?" Christina asked Sarah as everyone awaits Sarah's verdict on the issue.
"As a samurai honor is something more important to them than themselves and if my sister Christina trusts him I do too. Besides I love to see who would win me or the legendary demonic samurai." Replied Sarah with a ghoulish grin as she turns her sights to Kiyoshi before bringing it back to silver hair halfling.
" I apologize, my commander, I didn't mean to overstep my authority and disrespect neither you nor the vice commander or your guest." Remarked the silver hair halfing as she bows begging Sarah for her forgiveness.
"Michelle you are a great warrior and friend and I respect and appreciate your concern for everyone in the group. So don't worry about it, ok hun." Remarked Sarah as she smiles reassuring everyone that she took no offense to Michelle's words.
"Besides, I would love to know how a battle between me and the legendary blood samurai will go down." Remarked Sarah as she looked down at Kiyoshi with ghoulish intent.
"With that settled, everyone gets some rest for tomorrow we battle not just for ourselves but for everyone. So take the time to look at one another and take pride in knowing that you are loved and welcomed by every other person in this group and stand tall for without any of you standing with me and Christina here today this will never be able to happen. Thank you." Remarked Sarah as everyone left the meeting and prepared themselves for the battle tomorrow.
Sarah and Christina both go their separate ways as Kiyoshi is stopped by Michelle who wishes to speak to him. Back in the Tucson stronghold the Tucson's prepare themselves with a quick victory against Anges du sol. Arthur gears himself in elite all-black Tucson armor as he walks outside into the moonlight. In his hands, he is armed with two oddly shaped black draggers that he grips tightly in his hands as he stares off into the moonlight.
"Death for all, death for Anges du sol, and death for my sisters. The moon will bleed red with their blood as I remove their souls for their bodies and calm everything I deserve even if it means pretending to be the Tucsons' and the Duke's puppet till they two will die under my foot." Arthur declares with a devilish tone and grin as he walks into the darkness of the forest awaiting the morning and battle to come.
Back at the hideout Michelle and Kiyoshi have already concluded their conversation. The two nod their heads in agreement as Michelle walks away she turns to Kiyoshi and says, Don't forget the plan tomorrow.
"I won't." Replied Kiyoshi as the two pathways. Kiyoshi leaves and heads out to the entrance of the hideout. He sits on a rock looking up into the sky awaiting the morning to come and for the fighting to start.
