"Good work, Seiryu-chan. You're the best", Reimi said with a smirk, as she used her own ice powers to form a huge wall of ice blocking the path of the carriage. "...Halt!" she ordered. "We'd like a word with you people, if you please", she said, putting on Adramelech. "...And in fact... regardless of whether you please or not." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15 stones (Ef.) into Mastery of Water, Ice and Steam; to form a huge wall of ice blocking the carriage's path.
7 stones into Social Skills (Persuade, Heroine, Sailor Mercury) to order the men to stop, and possibly help them realize we're not messing around... and not to mess with us.

The guards look on in shock moving to the front.
"Don't just stand there you fools, get us out of here!" a gluttonus fat man yells from the Carriage.

"The Empire is defeated", Reimi said, shaking her head. "...Your Teigu users have been vanquished, and we recovered all the Teigu around, both from Night Raid and you people. Do you seriously think you can escape, or defeat us?" she pointed out.
She then spoke directly to the guards.
"...You have one chance to make it out of this unharmed. Surrender... and hand over the Prime Minister and the Emperor. Otherwise... the results will be the same, but we will have to hurt you." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 stones (Ef.) into Close Combat all into defense.
7 stones into Social Skills (Persuade, Heroine, Sailor Mercury) to offer the men a chance to surrender and hand over the Prime Minister and the Emperor, or else.

"My Emperor, forgive us." The guards say hauling the bloated man, and a small boy out of the cage and to the front.
"What is the meaning of this, why are you attacking my Empire?" The boy asks.

Mercury was surprised upon seeing how young the Emperor was, but it didn't diminish her resolve in any way.
"Simple. Your Empire has committed, and supported, multiple atrocities and horrible crimes, basically dooming your people to a life of terror, violence, hopelessness, and war. We've come here to stop this insanity before your Empire creates more victims." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Renewing my defense stones.

"But it was all for the benefit of the Empire was it not?" He asked looking at Honest.
"Of course it was, these half-dressed harlots are simply trying to line their own pockets. Using their power to usurp control for themselves." He declared.
The Emperor looks at you, then back at him. He seems unsure at the moment but leaning towards Honest.

"I have all I'll ever need." Makoto says "My pockets are lined already." She says "We have no intention of taking over, just freeing them from your control." She says. "And Empires shouldn't be ruled through fear." She says "Intimidation isn't the way to rule. Fairness is." She says.
Action: 8 stones into Social Skills to make her point.

"But it was all for the benefit of the Empire was it not?"
"Of course it was, these half-dressed harlots are simply trying to line their own pockets. Using their power to usurp control for themselves."
"Refrain from spitting more of your venomous lies in that child's ears, 'DisHonest'. You have already hurt him, and the rest of this world, enough" Mercury said, shaking her head almost in pity at the old man. "...Such a shame... corrupting the innocence of a child, destroying lives, causing nothing but death, hatred, fear and despair... I'm astonished you still manage to live with yourself at this point."
She looked at the Emperor.
"Obviously, it was entirely and all for the benefit of his excellency the Prime Minister himself", Reimi pointed out. "To him, you were but a tool which he used as he pleased, knowing you would trust him as he is older, and more experienced. Like just now... when you apparently don't even know yourself why the decisions you took were for, and needed his advice to decide for yourself that it was, in fact, for the Empire. He could have said anything... I bet he doesn't allow anyone else to advise you, too?"
She folded her arms, looking daggers at Honest.
"Tell me, Emperor. Do you enjoy being afraid? Do you like when you get hurt, regardless of the cause of the pain? Do you like being hungry, or being thirsty, before you end up eating a good meal and drinking some fine beverages afterwards? ...No. Of course you don't. But it only happens rarely to you. After all, you are the Emperor. But what if you were to just ask around... ask the people of your Empire... and realize that everyone else aside from your soldiers and the Prime Minister's lackeys, are afraid every day? ...How would you feel, if I told you they suffer from pain and ills you have never imagined, if I told you they are often hungry, and often thirsty, because they can hardly make it because of those decisions your Prime Minister is making you take? ...And that'S when they are lucky enough to not be killed."
She shook her head.
"Those people... they are the Empire. No country is anything without its people... and everything the Prime Minister has guided your authority towards... is falling to dust, dragging the Empire along with it. Nothing this man has suggested you to do was to the benefit of the Empire... it was only for his own, lazy, evil and corrupted, self-centered and cruel self." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7 stones into Social Skills (Persuade, Heroine, Sailor Mercury) to drive the last nails in Honest's coffin.

"You... You used me all this time? Why?" The Emperor asked tears beginning to flow.
"BECAUSE YOU WERE A WEAK STUPID NAIEVE CHILD!!!" Honest raved. "YOU DARE LOOK AND JUDGE ME, YOU WOULD HAVE DONE THE VERY SAME IN MY PLACE!!! I SAW AN OPERTUNITY TO RULE THIS EMPIRE, AND I TOOK IT, BECAUSE I WAS SMARTER AND STRONGER THAN THOSE OTHER CATTLE, THEY WERE MINE TO DO WITH AS I PLEASED!!!"

"Back off and calm down, Honest", Mercury said, holding Gae Buidhe before his throat. "...Wounds inflicted by this blade never heal. Don't make me make your life even more pathetic than it already is."
She kept him away from the Emperor, while being careful to not let him impale himself on it or something in case he tried to commit suicide or something. Rather, she would strike him unconscious with the flat of the blade if he tried something dumb. Meanwhile, she said to the soldiers:
"Release the Emperor... detain Honest. It is obvious by now that the boy isn't directly responsible for all of this. We will see what happens with him later, but he is not to be treated the same as this monster." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7 stones into Social Skills (Persuade, Heroine, Sailor Mercury) to give a few orders to the soldiers to wrap things up.
11 stones (Ef.) into Close Combat plus 4 from Gae Daerg; 2 for control to keep Honest from impaling himself on it/or whatever if he tries; 12 to K.O him with the side of the spear... 1 into control to do so only if he tries anything dumb.

"All of this was my fault..." The Emperor said. "Guards, execute this man, and surrender to the revolutionaries... This is my final order." He says taking a knife from one of their belts and impaling himself through the chest.
The guards would have stopped him had they not been so busy filling Honest with lead.
