"So you're saying there are real monsters out there?" Shoto asked, intrigued.
They were all sitting in the control room.
"Don't worry so much. The yokai are usually contained to their realm, the Makai." Miko said. "As a denizen of Skye I have been there many times. Recently the barrier has been removed and an agreement has been reached that yokai are allowed to come to this world. But the law is that they are not allowed to reveal themselves to the humans. That means no messes. They are however allowed to kill humans."
"What? Why would you let them do that?" Deku said angrily.
"Look I'm not the one who made the rules. But the reason is that many yokai survive only on human flesh." Miko said.
"So let them die!" Dynamight snarled.
"I put forth the idea that they be allowed to raid morgues and graveyards." Miko said. "It was shot down. If the yokai don't get some leeway they will start another war. With their powers humans would become like cattle to them."
"I understand trying to stop a war." Uravity said. "But we cannot allow them to slaughter in our city."
"I don't allow it either." Miko said. "But if I act on my own it is viewed as a declaration of war. If we fight together, they will not see me as a Warrior of Skye, but as a hero, like you. We will have better chance of success."
"And if we fail?" Shoto asked.
"If we fail then the yokai will take this city, and push on to the rest of the world." Miko said.
"That isn't going to happen." Deku said, handing her a license. "We welcome you to Tokyo, new hero, Miko."
"It's just Miko." Miko said. "I give you my Warrior's Oath. I swear to you in the name of the Goddess that I will protect Tokyo as a comrade, as a hero."
She crossed her fist over her chest and bowed to them.
