Nanami flushed a bit and turned her head away from Marco for a moment.

“All I meant was that it makes no sense to sacrifice yourself now, since I just went through all the trouble of saving your life.” Nanami coughed for a moment, and then looked back to Marco.

“… Don’t get me wrong, I think diplomacy has its place… but right now it’s a waste of time. The Emperor is convinced that war is the only choice… he’s already gone to war with China, and his allies in Germany and Italy are only spurring him on. Musashi can’t undo that by talking to the Americans.”

She shook her head. “… The truth is, I think the only chance we have of avoiding a war is if the Emperor’s bodyguard comes to his senses and… fulfills his duty. However, he’s been encouraging the Emperor to become more allied with Germany, so that seems unlikely.”

While Jade was very much deranged at the moment, she sobered up reeeeal quick when she noticed Crystal, staring blankly back at her...And Sama at Sire. She would have just killed them with her bloodbending in five seconds flat if not fr the fact that they looked exactly like she and her-

Whatever Sire is to Jade. Manwhore is a pretty good description

"Saaaaaaaaaammmmma why does he look like you" Crystal asked in a hushed voice.

[...]

Joyce jumped a bit when Blake snapped back into consciousness and declared that they leave. The girl was about to give a nod when they were swallowed up in the shadows....

[....]

"Rica's right, come on Melanie" Kanna said, coming over to her daughter (and creeepy shadow-Blake and tugging on the woman's arm.

Melanie stiffened but stood. "Uh r-right"

“I am Blake...I'm just...in two places...Hold on...I will get Joyce and Sage...”

Suddenly there was a large shadow, which four figures came out of. Sage, Joyce, the real Blake, and....Samara. Yes, she's still staring angerly.

"Mom!" Joyce exclaimed.

Roosevelt Mansion

After all of the craziness and danger and other things CR wasn't paying attention to Laila and Adrianna were now standing in the hallway discussing something of the utmost importance....

"Just in case we're thrown into any more life threatening situations like that again we should probably figure out who gets Musashi" Laila stated, leaning against the door frame.

Adrianna nodded in agreement.

They're very shallow girls.

"Saaaaaaaaaammmmma why does he look like you"

Sama shook his head, but his eyes were glued to the Sire, who looked exactly like him (except at the moment, Sire’s skin was made of a black, metal-like substance like Greed from FMAB)

“I have no idea… why does she look like you?” Sama had noticed Jade, but right now he was more concerned with Sire.

Sama never knew his biological family. He never even knew his birth name. His parents had died in an accident when he was just a baby, and he was taken in by an elderly Japanese author who happened to live in New York.

[…]

Rica rushed down the stairs, urging the others to follow. He had a feeling this place was going to become an even bigger warzone soon.

[Roosevelt Mansion]

Musashi’s ‘girls-are-talking-about-me-sense’ suddenly went off, and he stepped into the hallway where Laila and Adrianna stood.

“Oh good! You’re both safe… I was worried.” Musashi gave a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, sir." Didymus said.

"...but...I was referring to more than just Miss Kujo when I spoke of caution and investigation into what's REALLY going on. With that said, again, what is undeniable is that their captain and Japan's prince is here offering aid, and again, it would be unwise to disregard that. Shall I send for him, sir?"

Roosevelt nodded.

“Believe me, with everything that’s happening right now, I’m handling every situation with the utmost caution. Still, I have faith in Solomon’s people, and I have faith in your judgment.”

“Still… this is an opportunity we cannot ignore. Japan’s prince is offering aid. The insight we could get into the Japanese Navy is worth a certain level of risk. More than that, we can get an insight into Hirohito’s inner circle. While I hold onto hope that hostilities can be avoided, we MUST plan for the worst.”

Eventually he nodded. “I’ll see him.”

"I understand, sir, and thank you...I...well, I stand with what I have said, of course."

He paused.

"We can send for the Japanese prince now, then. Snake? Let's go."

He eventually went, and found Musashi.

"The president will see you now. But I would like to ask you to relinquish your weapons first, and keep your distance from him as you speak...I apologize, but to be absolutely as sure as we can be..."

"Living people are better distractions than corpses!" Marco laughed again, before Nanami went into her thoughts on the current situation.

And when she did, Marco's face fell. He had an idea of who that bodyguard Nanami was talking about actually was, which meant that he'd probably have to tread lightly...

"...You're talking about your father... aren't you?"

That would complicate things.

[Common Area]

Musashi was astonished when Didymus appeared and told him that the president was willing to see him. He nodded, and took off his belt, which had his sword and pistol on it, and threw it on a chair.

“There’s nothing to apologize for. I wouldn’t expect you’d let me have my weapons near your head of state even if our nations we’re having so many problems.”

He followed Snake and Didymus upstairs, and then took a nervous gulp.

[Upstairs]

Musashi stood face to face with Roosevelt. He gulped again.

“Hello, Captain.” Roosevelt said in a polite, but authoritative, voice. “Why are you in this country?”

Musashi took a deep breath. “Well, sir… originally I came because I hoped to prevent any hostilities between our nations… but my plan has gone awry. I can’t seem to go back home, either. So I’d like to help protect this nation again, as I once did.”

Roosevelt leaned back. “You have a lot of people believing you’re sincere, and from what I remember of you from the New York Combat Revue, you fought hard for this city.”

He sighed. “But surely you realize it’s hard for me to trust you. Even if you are being completely sincere, what happens if war should erupt between our nations?”

Musashi nodded. “I’ve given that a lot of thought. I’m not willing to fight against the Japanese people… but I’m also not willing to fight against the American people. I am, however, willing to divulge information about the Japanese Navy… and I am more than willing to fight against the Germans and Italians, if it comes to that.”

Roosevelt looked thoughtfully at Musashi for several moments. “… You DO seem sincere… but I can’t take the chance that you’ll change your mind or have a break down. As it stands right now, I simply can’t allow you to fight alongside the US military. It’s too much of a risk for me to justify.”

Musashi faltered, and nodded. “I… I understand…”

“… However, there IS no war happening right now.” Roosevelt continued. “And you have done enough in the past to at least earn an opportunity.”

Musashi blinked. “S-Sir?”

Roosevelt leaned back in his comfy chair. “Here’s the deal, and it is the ONLY deal. You will aid the Sakura Investigation in every way you can. In addition, you will provide Jack here with detailed information on the inner-workings of the Japanese Navy. For that, you will be given a visa and allowed to stay in this country on a provisional basis.”

“You will be made a probationary agent, but you will not be given ANY information on the US’ battle plans or military tactics. In addition, if at any time we believe you are being less than 100% honest and straightforward with us, then your status with our government will be revoked, as will your visa, and you will be thrown in prison.” Roosevelt’s voice was harsh now.

“Do you understand?” Roosevelt asked.

Musashi nodded. He knew it wasn’t a perfect deal… and indeed, even one mistake on his part would mean prison… but it was much better than he ever expected.

Roosevelt held up his hand. “Now… IF hostilities should break out in Europe, you will be reevaluated and POSSIBLY you can be allowed to fight as a member of the United States Military. However, under no circumstances will you be fighting against the Japanese, or be given ANY information about the US’ battle plans relating to Japan. If you attempt to ever acquire that information, you WILL be treated as an enemy spy. Is that clear?”

Musashi nodded. “Yes.”

[Den]

Nanami immediately froze and turned to Marco. She looked like she had just been caught with her hand in the cookie jar, or with her knife in the neck of an important person.

Then she sighed. “… Yes. My father is the head of my clan, and the Emperor’s bodyguard. I also believe he may be one of the primary reasons for the Emperor’s recent decisions.”

-Roosevelt Mansion-

Aaron sighed, overhearing his sisters. He forced himself off the couch, walking over to them as Musashi headed upstairs to talk with the President of the United States.

“Sisters...you two do realize that even though he's a prince, the way things are going he's probably not going to be the sort of prince in all those fairy tales, right? He's got a very long and hard road ahead of him,” Aaron said, “You're both my sisters, and I love you dearly. If you either of you think you can really handle everything that will come at him, and thus at you, then I wish you all the luck in the world...”

He frowned, staring at each of his sisters in turn.

“But if you're just here because you think he's cute and think being with a prince will give you an easy life, then you should walk away...”

-Gallic Enterprises-

Samuel was swiped in the chest, the claws raking flesh...but doing no damage.

“Thankfully my shirt was ruined with that grenade earlier...though you're the one who dropped it, aren't you?” Samuel said, glaring at Sire.

He paused when Crystal and Sama appeared, then shrugged. Whatever was happening there wasn't his concern.

“Kid, even if you're as tough as me, I still have a lot more experience fighting then you,” Samuel said, then charged at Sire, throwing a series of blows and attempting to hit pressure points!

It wasn't anything like Marco's though, more just blows aimed to cripple someone in key spots. Not stop abilities, but break bones.

Samuel was curious to see if the rest of Sire was as unbreakable as his skin.


Lily awoke, but stayed on the floor, opening an eye and looking towards Jade.

“DIE!” Lily yelled, pushing herself up. She slashed her palm down, using her telekinesis to try and cut Jade!

-Streets-[​/b]

Blake held up his hands, focusing, shadows beginning to pile around him.

“I have all this power...” he said quietly, “I can stop...stop them. The bad guys. I can do good...I...”

Blake frowned, wavering slightly, then shadows beginning to spread from him, creeping towards the others.

“I...I hurt less...when I use my powers...I'll bring you all home first...” Blake said. The shadows crept to Sage, who yelped and jumped back, beginning to shiver, the fire escape growing colder.

“B-Blake, calm down,” Sage said, shivering, “You're freezing...”

Blake shook a little. He wasn't use to using his powers this much, on this scale. For years he had kept them clamped down tightly, and now he was opening the floodgates. It was too much for him...

“But I feel so hot...” Blake murmured, sweat on his brow. “Momma, what's happening...?”

Laila grinned at Aaron as he tried to warn the girls of what could possibly be in their future...

"I think we both like him because he isn't that story-book prince. We'd be bored if we were being pampered and spoiled"

Adrianna nodded, going over to her twin and placing a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, we can handle what comes. We're just as strong as you.....Me moreso than her though."

Gallic Enterprises

Crystal had known her family, she had grown up in a pretty nice family back in Washington D.C.....But she was an only child, and certainly not a twin!

Jade blinked, eying the two who looked creepily like she and Sire. "Oh lookie here....It's us. But not. Welp, the novelty of that has officially worn off. Kill them Sire!"

Streets

"Baby don't use your powers right now" Melanie said instantly "It may feel better when you do, but you're wearing yourself out. Darling i'm here, i'll help us all get home safe"

Joyce bit her lip, following her family. "Where are we going?"

"Home may be the safest place right now" Melanie said simply.

"I don't want Nazis to know where you live" Kanna said, stopping "Rica get them back home. I'm going back to the hotel"

Marco really did not know where to go, from hearing what Nanami just revealed. Just to himself, it felt like a bag of bricks had just landed on his back (and that didn't include his already feeling that way physically, from being nearly killed a few moments ago). But to Nanami, it had to be even harder of a feeling. And that tugged on him even more, realizing that.

An eternity seemed to pass by, as all he did was look at Nanami in the eyes, while thinking.

After the long pause, however, he finally spoke out, saying simply, "...I'm sorry..."

[Gallic Enterprises]

Samuel was strong, and he knew how to fight and exactly where to aim to maximize the impact of his punches. Sire guessed that this man had a lot of experience.

… and it brought a demented grin to Sire’s face. He was going to enjoy this fight so much, he forgot all about the boy who looked like him. Instead he moved, though he did not attempt to block Samuel’s blows.

Sire’s body did not simply turn hard on the outside, but everything was reinforced. Muscles, tissue, bone, skin… his entire body became harder than diamonds. So even with Samuel’s brilliant strategy and expertise, Sire’s body held out.

“I’m getting fed up with you,” Sire growled, and he grabbed Samuel’s fist. He tried to squeeze it to break it, but he quickly realized that wouldn’t work. “Ha… seems we got a standoff.”

He heard Jade’s command, but he was too mesmerized with fighting Samuel.


Sama, meanwhile, finally shook out of his shock. He didn’t know what was going on, but he knew he had a duty.

“You are all under arrest!” Sama shouted. “So stop fighting and surrender, okay?”

[Streets]

“No, you aren’t.” Rica said, grabbing Kanna’s arm. “And we’re not splitting up, either. We’re all going to my place. It’s safe, it’s off the grid and they won’t be able to find it.”

He smashed a car window, and then opened the door.

“Now everybody get in the car while I hotwire it.”

[Roosevelt Mansion]

Musashi soon appeared, coming down the stairs. He was rubbing his neck as he stepped into the room.

“Okay… um… that actually went… pretty well.” Musashi said to the girls and Aaron.

[…]

Nanami met Marco’s eyes and returned his gaze. The silence was becoming aggravating. He had guessed her terrible secret, and now she was really waiting for some reaction.

The reaction he had surprised her. So much so that her eyes actually widened a bit, and then Nanami did something really unusual.

She laughed.

“Gee, thanks. I confide in you that my father, someone who I’ve respected and looked up to my entire life, might be to blame for getting Japan involved with the Nazis, and that’s all you have to say?”

She didn’t say those words in an antagonizing way. Instead she genuinely seemed amused. Maybe it was the fact she was tired, or the fact that she had nearly died today, but Nanami was loosening up.

"Well since Sire's busy...." Jade muttered, turning her attention to Sama and Crystal "I'll handle you my-"

“You are all under arrest!” Sama shouted. “So stop fighting and surrender, okay?”


Jade blinked, before letting out a high pitched laugh.

From her spot Crystal groaned.

"You must have a deathwish if you think something like that is worth saying" Jade stated, snapping her fingers. Suddenly a gust of wind would push everyone back!

Streets

Kanna frowned, hesitantly getting into the car. Well, the idea was better than going to Melanie's house...She'd fight with Rica about it later.

"Mom, should we really be stealing a car?" Joyce asked, climbing in as well. She was followed by her mother who was still holding Blake.

"On normal circumstances no, but this isn't a normal circumstance..." Melanie said

Roosevelt Mansion

"Oh we're nowhere near done with you" Adrianna stated, turning back from Aaron to Musashi. "We're willing to risk our lives for you, so who do you want?"

No pressure. They're just both staring at you now.

Samuel raised an eyebrow as Sire caught his punch, not looking harmed in the slightest.

“So you're tough too...But tell me...are you tough all the time?” Samuel asked, then charged forward, attempting to tackle Sire into a wall!

“If that's something you have to make happen, then sooner or later I'm going to outlast you,” Samuel smirked, “So give up now and save us both a lot of trouble.”


As Jade sent the wind at Sama and Crystal, Lily had picked herself back up, her green eyes full of rage as she glared at the girl.

“You're in my company! You are DEAD!” Lily yelled, charging at Jade and slashing her hands downwards, using her telekinesis in an attempt to slash her!

-Streets-

Blake shook in his mother's arms, shadows moving around him strangely as he tried to get a better handle on his powers.

Sage glanced around as Rica broke into a car, trying to hot wire it. He was a little uncomfortable, and he was pretty sure his dad would be angry with him for running off, but he didn't want to leave Joyce right now.

-Roosevelt Mansion-

Aaron just sighed, hobbling over to the couch and taking a seat again. He didn't have anything left to say.

Except.

“Just remember Musashi, whoever you chose, they're both my sister,” Aaron said, rubbing his forehead.

Sama sighed. He had to at least try. He was about to do something else, when a gust of wind knocked him into the wall, and forced him to drop his gun!

“Oh snap.” Sama gulped. Luckily Lily interfered at that moment, so Sama had time to run and look for his gun!


When Samuel tackled him into a wall, Sire merely grinned like a maniac.

“Well then, there’s no point in my playing with you at all, is there?” He grabbed Samuel and pushed him back, attempting to push him out a window!

[Streets]

Once everyone was in the car, Rica quickly hit the gas and sped off. Around the corner, there were several cop cars parked outside Gallic Enterprises, but Rica quickly took a different street to avoid them.

“It won’t take long to get there.” Rica said over his shoulder to Kanna. “Is anyone hurt?”

[Roosevelt Mansion]

Musashi blinked. In comparison to this question, talking to the President of the United States suddenly seemed a lot less terrifying.

The prince sighed. “… Okay. You’re right. We’ve put this off entirely too long. Why don’t the three of us go into the other room, sit down and talk about… everything.”

Musashi, you can’t be Mako anymore.
