Hugo waited for a moment, listening, then sighed. "I think it worked, General."
On the other side, Kaori looked on at Liilii, not sure what to do.

Kazuki walked up to Kaori and put his hand on her shoulder. "Let's just stand guard and wait for her to tire herself out," he said. "The wall is holding and as long as she's attacking that, no one's in danger."
"Yeah," Darius replied. "Though that was a much tougher fight than I was expecting."

Kaori nodded, backing away slowly.

Everyone stood there and watched, as Liilii's attacks continued against the wall. Though she wasn't doing much damage, the sheer number of blows began to add up and a there was noticeable damage it it. Nonetheless it held firm. Liilii's assault slowed as she finally surpassed her limit. Eventually she reached the point where she could barely swing her arms at all. She collapsed in exhaustion. The axe like growths on her hands began to crumble apart, as did the spikey growths on her body.
"It's over," Kazuki stated. "Whatever happened is beginning to reverse itself."
"We should go now, while we can," Vira suggested.
"But what about Liilii?" Megumi asked. We can't leave her here unconscious like that."
"We don't know what she'll be like when she wakes up," Vira pointed out. "She might return to the state she was in before."
"She might not though," Megumi said. "Besides if we leave her she'll certainly be arrested by the Nocturnians. Or get attacked by a monster while she's still unconscious."
"She can go with them," Vira replied. gesturing to Kazuki and Kaori. "There's no reason for us to be involved with them any longer!"
"We need their help," Megumi replied. "Do you expect to beat the Nocturnians and retake Tophiopolis on your own? We need allies."
"Yes, we need allies," Vira said. "However, we don't need them as allies. That girl doesn't have the stomach for a real fight. That guy might be an acceptable ally, and he is the son of General Sakai, but he's no where near as strong as his father was, and he's just one person. The rest aren't even worth mentioning."
"You know we're standing right here," Yerth said dryly.
"It's still a start," Megumi replied. "It's not like we had anyone helping before. Besides, this whole situation today did more damage to the Nocturnians than we have in the past few years. It might not have been planned, but it can be considered a successful attack on the Nocturnian occupiers.
"Perhaps, but it's not like it will do any long term damage," Vira stated. "We can always find other allies. We should leave them, now!"
"And go back to the inn and wait?" Megumi asked. "No, I'm tired of waiting! I'm tired of watching my people suffer under Nocturnian rule! I am Megumi Tophio, heir to the throne of Tophiopolis! I will not allow my people to be subjugated any longer! Right now those people are the only allies we have, and as such I will not abandon them!"
"Fine, they can come." Vira replied. She walked over to Liilii lying there. "We'll take her with us too. However," She glanced at Kaori, "if she starts to transform again, I'm killing her before she finishes it. You might not like it, but we'll die if that happens again. If you don't like it, make sure she doesn't transform."

Kaori looked over to Vira and scowled. "You..." she growled, but paused, wincing in pain before collapsing on her hands and knees, droping her katana as it disintegrated into flames.
Grega and Terka rushed over to Kaori. "Are you okay?" Grega asked.
Kaori's outfit then dematerialized again as she screamed in pain, grabbing Terka's arm.

'Kaori!" Kazuki called out. He knelt down beside her. "We need to treat those wounds."
"I have some bandages," Megumi said, rushing over. "I don't know if it'll be enough though. we need to get her back to the inn."

"Can you stand up?" Terka asked Kaori.
"Aaaah... M-m-my back..." Kaori said in a whine, distracted by the pain.
Grega and Terka helped Kaori up, who could barely keep herself from collapsing again.
Grega looked at Megumi with a straight, but subtlety worried face. "Thank you." she said, as she and Terka started to carry Kaori off.

"Let's make ourselves useful," Yerth said to Kani. "Let's go pick her up." He gestured to Liilii.
"Ah right," Kani said. They walked over and grabbed Liilii's arms. They lifted her up, one on each side, putting her arms over their shoulders so they could carry her. As they lifter her, the strange substance that was covering her completely crumpled off, the spikes and axes now being nothing more than flakes on the ground.
"Ok everyone, let's get back to the inn," Megumi said. "We have wounded so let's take it slow."
