He and his followers will fight to keep it, and my sister has prepared appropriately. Knowing what he does now, I especially do not expect him to simply hand it over.” In spite of this, he does stretch out his hand. “I would be happy to be proven wrong on this point though, my son. All of this can be avoided if you step down.”
His eye twitches. “What about Peppa’s other questions? You haven’t actually answered them.”
Dabura pulls his hand back and strokes his chin. “Hmm… very well. The reason why I assume any conflict will result in our victory is twofold, that what support my son has to keep him as ruler of the Demon Realm is evidently dropping, and that even if his current followers continue to follow him, they do not have the power to match us. And as I said, if he has to rely on the likes of you mortals to keep himself in power, many in the Demon Realm will see it as weakness on his part.” He then places both behind his back. “Next, I can arrange hostages from our faction be brought here to guarantee we are acting in good faith.”
Back with mom, you’ve relayed everything to them. There’s more debate going on, with a mix of opinions being thrown around. Vegeta is vocal about being happy to be rid of them one way or another, even if he makes it clear he doesn’t trust in the slightest. Acer doesn’t think they’ll keep their word, and says any deal they’re trying to make isn’t worth it. Ume is starting to come around to the idea after Dabura’s most recent proposition, with Hercule pointing out they might be able to demand Gero so he can finally stop being a thorn in your collective sides. Izzy’s raising a concern about the lack of Fu in the crowd… which does feel like a valid point. He ISN’T here. You get a message from your brother that half-jokingly suggests a rock-off to ensure they leave all of you alone, that Demons must abide by one.
>A. Maybe we can’t come to a unanimous agreement on this… but maybe those who wish to wash their hands of this can make their separate agreements>B. Check on Basilea. Dabura may be preparing to offer her up as hostage, maybe that’s why she’s been so glum…>C. This Makaioshin guy still sounds like bad news, even if they think they can keep him under control, you can’t really agree with anything that ends up with him being part of Towa’s group>D. Okay what is your problem with me, Towa? You clearly have one, spill it>E. Something else?Write-ins encouraged! Feel free to debate and discuss as needed.
