Chapter 3 - time to leave

[okuda and masahiro walking to the palace]

Okuda: [sigh] you must really be immune to pain.

[masahiro looks at okuda confused]

Masahiro: What do you mean?.

Okuda: I mean I would still be screaming, not just walking like anything happened.

Masahiro: Well, I did get beat as a child.

[okuda looks at masahiro surprised]

Okuda: oh.. I'm sorry to hear that.

[masahiro smiles]

Masahiro: It's fine.. If it wasn't for my father I wouldn't be able to take the pain I endure now.

[masahiro laughs]

Masahiro: I mean what i have to deal with now i would have ended up killing myself by now.

[okuda looks at masahiro in shock]

Okuda: Well, still no one should go through that.

Masahiro: Well either way it made me that man I am now.

[okuda notices something crawling over the palace wall]

Okuda: Hey, what is that?.

Masahiro: Look at what?.

[okuda points at the thing crawling over the wall]

Okuda: that.

[masahiro looks closer and notices it looks like a demon]

Masahiro: I think that might be a demon.

[okuda looks at masahiro in shock]

Okuda: what?.

Masahiro: I think it might be a demon.

Okuda: Well, we have to stop it before anything happens.

Masahiro: You're right.

[okuda smiles]

Okuda: Well, I think you're going to get away with this one.

[okuda hands masahiro his second sword]

Okuda: here.

[masahiro looks at okuda surprised]

Masahiro: what?.

Okuda: We're going to fight this thing together.

[masahiro smiles and takes the sword]

Masahiro: alright.

Okuda: don't blame the sword if you die.

Masahiro: I won't, all there is to blame is myself.

[the demon starts running toward masahiro and okuda]

Demon: screachhhh!!!!.

[masahiro unsheathes his sword]

Masahiro: [breath] calm.

Okuda: what?.

[masahiro runs at the demon and cuts its head off]

Okuda: woah.. So you are good with a sword.

[masahiro smiles]

Masahiro: Of course I am, my family ran a dojo.

Okuda: oh.

Okuda: Well come on, we need to go protect the emperor just in case any more demons come.

Masahiro: alright.

[yonome arrives at the center of the city to meet hashiba]

Hashiba: So what did you need?.

[yonome smiles]

Yonome: I need some money to pay my debts off.

Hashiba: [sigh] this is the last of the money i'm giving you.

Yonome: ok.

[yonome unsheathes hashibas short sword]

Hashiba: what do you think you're doing?.

[yonome smiles]

Yonome: getting my inheritance.

[yonome stabs hashiba in the stomach]

Hashiba: [cough] [cough] why would you do this?.

[yonome smiles]

Yonome: money is power and I need power to operate my plans.

Hashiba: wha…

[hashiba drops to the ground and dies]

Yonome: pathetic.

[okuda and masahiro arrive at the center of the city and see yonome run away]

[okuda sees hashibas body]

Okuda: That brat.

Masahiro: don't worry if there's more demons they'll get her, she's a princess she has no protection.

Okuda: right.

[okuda and masahiro see crowds of demons crawling over the palace walls]

Masahiro: Okuda.. Come on, let's guide the people to the train station.

Okuda: right.

[okuda runs to the far side of the city to lead people to the train station]

Masahiro: alright!!.

Masahiro: People follow me and head to the train station!!!.

[masahiro runs towards the train station]

Masahiro: alright.. Just a little longer.

[after sometime masahiro and okuda meet up at the train station]

Masahiro: Is this everyone?.

Okuda: I believe so.

Masahiro: alright.

[masahiro gets on the train]

Masahiro: Okuda, help me out here!!.

Okuda: ok.

[okuda gets on the train]

Okuda: what do I need to do?.

Masahiro: just shovel as much coal as you can into the furnace]

Okuda: ok.

[masahiro starts up the train]

Masahiro: Everyone get on!!!!.

[everyone piles into the train]

Masahiro: Alright everyone lock the doors!!.

[after the doors lock masahiro unlocks the emergency brake]

[masahiro smiles]

Masahiro: Alright, onto whatever city we make it too.

[masahiro looks at the city]

Masahiro: well, goodbye yonome you wouldn't have been a use to us anyways.

[okuda smiles]

Okuda: Yeah, I'm glad we left her.

Masahiro: even if we didn't leave her she wouldn't enter the train.

Okuda: yeah, that backstabbing brat.
