Roxa jumped up onto the boat and pulled his overcoat back on before resting his wrists against the front of the boat, he watched impatiently as Riliath's ship got ever more closer to the main island of Unda and he watched in wonder as the plumes of smoke carried on rising up to the sky's, he turned and looked to Enizo and Kal "Say, have we thought about the political reaction to us being here? I mean, yeah we're not doing anything to sway the balance in the civil war but what if we get approached, like, as in one side asking us to help..?"

"If we could end this fighting it would be nice," Kal said glancing at the island, "I wouldn't be surprise if the person we're after is taking part in those fights... killers are drawn to chaos after all."
"What are the parties fighting for control?" Enizo asked he too watching the chaos unfold.
"There a three, one fighting for the rule of king, another wants to reform the government into something which the people pick, the last one wants the same type of rule Duo had held, it was after all the most economically and most powerful point in Unda's history."

"If they want a rule like Duo's..." Roxa said through gritted teeth "They'll have to go through me first, it'd start with Unda, then it'll spread outwards, to Chabyls, Santo-Luce then to Crepusuculum and Alberisato, I apologise, I know what our aim is here but if I have to opportunity to stop that happening again I will take it"

"Then in that case we should pick a party to throw our support to, I myself am not to interested in seeing another king take the throne, it wouldn't exactly be the moral the people need being how their last queen suddenly vanished on them," Kal shook his head, "Perhaps this new government will prove to be good, the man leading that party is extremely famous on the islands, he also supports winning through peace methods such as rallies, and peace sittings... even if all the younger followers take it to a violent level."

Ayalan started to slice his assassin's blade along another dagger of his, watching the blades collide.
"Sadly, war is always inevitable. It'll always happen..but Roxa.."
He looked across, and smirked.
"Chalybs will never fall. Trust me on that," He stayed with the cryptic response, as he laughed, slicing the blades more, "As for your situation, I suppose that we will have to try our best to be as stealthy as possible amongst the fighting. Otherwise, both sides will take shots at us for looking different as is."

"It would be interesting to see how well a democracy fairs in meetings with the royals" Roxa said with a small nod "I suggest we find this political leader you speak of, find out if he knows where any of the people we are looking for are, and hell, if we're lucky we may be able to kill two birds with one stone!"

Kal was puzzled by Aya's statement, pushing it aside he decided to warn them of the worse possible scenario, "If worse comes to worse and Duo has really reawakened we pull back and gather every troop we can, we don't have enough man power to stop him. We can't let him get into power, I fear that if he does he'll conquer the world once more."
"I dunno, if Duo was really back wouldn't there be earthquakes, tsunamis, previously dormant volcanoes exploding?" Enizo shook his head, "If you ask me, I think we pretty much lucked out and Duo wasn't broken from his seal."
"Hopefully," Kal said with some doubt before glancing back at Roxa, "Finding him will be tough, and I advise you, Roxa, to stay hidden from sight for awhile... if a crazed Duo follower sees you it may just spark a mass riot."

Roxa smiled darkly at the thought of Duo being back, and the thought of the ones whom he originally fought alongside to defeat him "When Duo was first about, it banded together 14 of the greatest warriors the world has ever seen, it banded together for me another family to replace the one that I lost" he nodded more to himself than anyone else "When a worlds in trouble people show you their true colours, if someone confronts me about Duo then they'll see mine"

"We have to be the peaceful ones," Kal shook his head in disapproval, "One who uses peace will gather more respect then one who acts out in rage."
Kal understood the rage in Roxa, and despite Kal's warning he was already thinking about how to battle Duo, Last time, 14 people wasn't enough... we'll need more this time.
Enizo simply yawned, "Bored." He said aloud as he waited for the boat to arrive, he stood up suddenly and smiled back at the group, "I think our mission should be simple, we beat up anyone who believes that the only way to show an ideal is to force it on violently. Because we are Heroes and that's what we do!"

Roxa turned his head simply to face Enizo "If that's what you think being a hero is about..." He said darkly "You have another thing coming" He chuckled to himself a little bit "That's the exact ideal that people like Everto believed in" he spent a moment pondering the tin can "And we all know what happened to him" he grimaced and spat into the water, Everto is the one Saint he could never stand, his entrapment had left him bitter.

Enizo looked at Roxa for a moment then scoffed, "The Hell happened to you? I thought you were always the positive one." Enizo held out his hands and smirked, "I'm a Hero, I have to believe that somewhere people will do the right thing, and when they don't I believe it's our job to set them right. My resolve on this can't be broken, no matter what you say."

Aya looked to Enizo with a glare, as he held out a knife.
"..A hero respects all's opinions, no matter how different they seem from their own." Aya was obviously defensive, as he looked back down for a bit, with a glare at his weapons, and he sheathed them.
"Because how can you really say you're a hero? Afterall, don't villains believe they are heroes for their own cause, and You the Villain?" Aya smiled and stood up now, shaking off the brood.
"However..that's besides the point. Whether you want to stay with your resolve or follow someone else's, is not of my concern. My only concern is finding what we have to do and getting it done." Aya gripped the edge of the ship, looking over at Riliath's far ahead- "Three Kishu assembled is enough to win you a war. But..We don't want a war to begin with...this should be interesting."

"My resolve is to do the right thing, and hurting innocents is not the right thing to do," he shook his head, "I can't even begin to respect someone's opinion who believes hurting the innocent is the only way to go about things. And if that's not Heroic then goddammit I wouldn't be able to live in this world."
He crossed his arms, obviously not threatened by Aya, "The Saints I looked up to were always against forcing ideals onto one and other, they defended everyone's right live their lives. And that's the same ideals I live by."
He sat back down, tapping his foot impatiently waiting for it to arrive, which would be just minutes now.

"You're stood here with a Saint now" Roxa muttered with a shake of his head "We never wanted to force any ideals onto anyone, we just wanted to make sure that Duo's rule came to an end and I assure you that if we had succeeded on the day I was sealed away, no-one would have had a government based around us forced upon them, yes we defended peoples rights but we never did so in a way that breached them..."

Riliath's boat scraped against the shore of the main island of Unda with a dull thud before the Kishu soldiers scrambled around to mount their horses and help guide off the ones that belonged to the men on the others ships, Riliath himself climbed swiftly onto Kasai and made sure to grab the reigns of Roxa's horse before leading it onto dry land, the sight that would greet him, he wasn't expecting.
Massive pillars of smoke were rising from some of the poorer areas of the island and could be seen clearly in the distance, but that wasn't where Riliath's eyes were drawn, laid out in front of him and his men were at least a dozen corpses. The bodies were poorly dressed and didn't seem to be the corpses of anyone particularily important, but still, all the same... "Sir..?" One of his soldiers asked, turning in his saddle to face Riliath "They're just peasents" he growled looking up at the pillars of smoke "Probably revolutionaries who want the Democracy put in place, they've paid the price for their decisions" He looked across at his men "Dismount, move some of these stones and start burying them, no man should have to lay on the ground to rot, not after dying for their cause."
