“Instead of pointing fingers at each other we should prepare in case your elite force fails.” You need to take this seriously.
“Now you question my methods? I thought so highly of you, and now you stink! Deplorable!” Qiao didn’t like your answer. “My elite force won’t fail!”
“Qiao, take this seriously! A good leader has many backup plans!” Marcela scolds her little friend. “Just because Kobashi looks goofy doesn’t mean that he’s stupid.”
You don’t even know where to start correcting Marcela. So you’ll let this go.
“I don’t know where most of my guards are! T-This is everything I can do without interfering directly.” Qiao laments. It was all the people the Elder you pushed away had with her. “What’s the threat we are facing exactly? I felt a strong spiritual possession, but I need more information.”
“The green flame took over an innocent person’s body and wants to do something that’ll destroy our world.” Marcela explains in a few words. “Here, Bashi, have the sniper rifle!”
“Thank you very much.” Vanessa takes it instead and gets ready near the stairs. She’s the arms expert…
“…Here, have this one then.” Marcela hands you a handgun and her blanket. You put the pistol in your belt and hide behind another pillar. “The girls, Qiao and I will do the Mafuba ritual. We’ll trap it, okay?” The two guards nod and move next to Marcela, as she puts the Odd-looking catching pot onto the marble table. Then all walk back to the pillars.
“Excuse me! That’s impossible! Our sacred texts explicitly say the Emerald Ignis Fatuus will work alongside the strongest spirit the world has to offer! And objectively speaking, that is me!” Qiao can’t believe what she’s hearing. “A normal peasant is incapable of carrying such duty! She has no business carrying such power!”
“You’re understanding now what the problem is, Qiao. The texts are wrong. The spirit is out of control and we need to stop it.” Marcela doesn’t sugar coat it.
“B-But the Emerald Ignis Fatuus is a force of good!” Qiao doesn’t get it and looks a tiny bit frustrated. “But May wouldn’t lie to me…” Qiao jumps from her stilts to stand alongside her fellow spiritualists. “Bah! What’s the matter with me? My elite forces will never fa—”
The ground rumbles. A strong light casts upon you all. It’s Ema (?) shining all over the place, she’s still holding Esperanza – she’s looking away from all of you, mesmerized by the scenery.
“This world is so drop-dead gorgeous…” Ema takes a deep breath.
