You spawn a menu to talk to her. [Real as can be! But it's not over yet, I still have someone that needs to be taken care of.]
"And why would I help you?" She asks as if this wasn't a rhetorical question.
[Josh will stay inside the game world if you don't! Actually, he'll just die, and so will you. Most people will, really. If you do that for me, I'll let you do whatever you want and give Josh his... well, A body back. There isn't much left of his real corpse at this point.]
She swings her sword a few time before nodding. "Fine, for Josh. But what do you expect me to do, just charge in there and get it done? Can't be that easy."
You uh, didn't think that far. Clara is strong, so is Josh at this point, but keeping him hostage is necessary to make sure Clara stays in line, so she'll have to fight without him.
Not only did she trained with ACD for a while, she also fought a bunch of ACD buffed enemies herself in game, and while this can't compare to the real thing, it still makes her the closest thing you have to an elite agent.
You'll need Hazel too of course, even if she spends most of her time 'having fun', she's still very passionate about magic and spent a lot of time studying it in her free time, so she'll be an invaluable support unit for the final fight.
You need a battle plan.
>Challenge Justice's best agent to a duel with Clara. Hazel won't be able to help, but Justice is bound by honor and is unlikely to refuse. It also means you won't need to deal with any of her trainee.>Create quests in the world to train your players around the world and rebuild an army. Justice is likely to break a seal in the meantime, but the sheer numbers of players you have might still overwhelm her.>Manipulate Justice's agent during the fight using their guilt. Just because they're immune to your magic doesn't mean they're immune to words, and you can still read their thoughts with observe.>Justice can't do much from where she is, maybe you should just focus on breaking the rest of your seals and use Clara as a defensive force instead.
