Planning revolution
"...And we use poison, to watch the enemy slowly die." Izuka outlined his ridiculous plan.
"I'm curious." Sothe began with an annoyed air. "What poison would not affect the people of Daein, and yet kill all the Begnion soldiers?"
"..." Izuka blinked.
"Yeah, you really thought that one through." Sothe then ignored Izuka. "Micaiah?"
"Distraction. Tauroneo leads the most resilient troops to lay siege to the prison, and the original Dawn Brigade rush in and free the prisoners. After everyone gets out, we blow the place up, killing all the soldiers." Micaiah stated calmly.
Everyone just looked at her.
"They get what they give." She shrugged.
Naruto and Pelleas had the same thought. So many people dying because of where they were...what a waste.
"One question, Micaiah. Where are we going to get the explosives?" Sothe asked innocently.
He was rewarded with an evil grin.
.
Point to self, never doubt Micaiah.
She can see the future, and can be sadistic or cruel when she wants to.
Sothe was beginning to wonder how she'd managed to swindle Aimee out of such obviously valuable merchandise, but he wasn't going to ask.
Yune chirped happily as Micaiah wandered closer to the Dawn Brigade.
"Ok, The nine of us will enter the compound, set the explosives, free the captives, and watch the place go up in flames. Any questions?" Micaiah outlined the plan for their team. Yune jumped up onto Micaiah's shoulder, and seemed to be grinning evilly. Both Sothe and Naruto dived to the ground the moment they saw Yune's face.
"Uh, how do we light the explosives?" Aran asked.
"You won't. But I have it all planned out, don't worry." Micaiah replied.
Strangely, no-one did worry. Micaiah got explosives against all odds, so if she said the place was going kaboom, the place was going kaboom.
.
The plan was going without a hitch. Micaiah, Edward, Leo, Nolan, Volug and Aran were protecting Sothe and Naruto. Sothe was picking the prison locks, and Naruto was setting the explosives. Laura was healing people as necessary. The prison guards eventually noticed them, being massively shorthanded, but proved to be almost no threat.
They came in ones and twos, easy to take down by the now more elite Dawn Brigade, and 6 on 2 was a nice change in odds. Normally the Daein forces were ridiculously outnumbered, and were on the outside of the prison.

Outside the prison, but away from the fighting...
"Is this the building Sothe's in?" A man with red hair asked. A man in the age sense only, he was short, and often childish. His cape matched the colour of his hair, and was clothed simply.
"Yes, Tormod, I believe so." A tiger laguz responded. He had a serene face, one that radiated wisdom. A raven laguz remained silent.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Tormod ran off.
The four of them followed the little man...
