~Winning the battle, but what of the war~
Genie leaned against the wall as she watched the other Ronins attacking the dynasty's soldiers. She knew it was only prolonging the inevitable. She looked back at Ryo who was tied with chains. A tear slid down her cheek. "We aren't what you think we are…" She said. She looks back out the window. She watched them fight past the first wave of soldiers. Then to the next. "We'll win. You have to know that." Ryo said. Genie pressed her hand against the glass. Ryo looked down at his chained hands. He didn't know why, but he felt sorry for her. Genie gasped and then a river of tears came to her eyes. "No!!!" She balled her fists and punched the glass. It shattered and blood dripped from the cuts. She swirled around and glared at Ryo. She frowned. "Go on, break free. I know you can, and I don't want you here any longer. Leave me now. Join your friends before I change my mind." She growled. Ryo looked down once more. His muscles built and the chains snapped. He stared at her and then ran out. Genie slid to the floor. "Father…mother…is it so wrong…to want to end this? I still have enough of myself to know that I am not acting on my own emotions. I don't want to end up like father…but who am I to surrender my friends to my own fate?" She wiped the tears from her cheeks as she stood.
