Chapter 48 Unexpected Turn part 2

"Well now is there anyone else that has a problem with our plan?" Obi asked with his crew of twenty-five men standing behind him.

As Lieg leaning on one of the houses to the side says and does nothing but look,

"What… anyone that foolish enough to be brainwashed by these guys is no friend of mine, like I said before unless I see actual proof of the church involvement I can't very well just take the words of a chief too weak to protect his own village" Obi proclaimed while staring at the rest of the villagers.

But then has a grin it was about to be formed on his face, he was hit dead center across his jaw by old bao.

(Sfx Whack)

As has the old ladie's walking stick breaks on impact of hitting Obi upside his head,

"You wanna be holy dog, then go don't go dragging the rest of us with you!".

Obi with blood now running from his forehead made a glare at the old lady Bao, "You freaking old bat!" Clenching his right arm causing the muscles to tense up as if he's ready to a throw right hook at her, but before he could turn around toward her.

(Sfx Crash)

He was sent straight into a building behind him knocking both Rofu and Rito out of his way on,

"Special delivery has you requested my king" said a silhouette from a distance around the sculpture in the middle of the square. "Took you long enough what was the holdup?" Lieg asked her,

"Give me a break it was hard getting the answers that I needed on the first try… but at least I got it, at around the 10th no less".

Walking towards the crowd dragging Hoku's unconscious body was Ulia in a fresh new gear. Wearing short belly skin black and crimson red claw stripes top with openings on both shoulders, and a Bògòlanfini like handmade six different cloth layered dress with two wristband the right one going up to her elbows. Her dress which had varying color cloth was shifted more to her right side, underneath it showing a simple black shorts complementing her thigh long Black socks visible to her left leg, with a red mid top sandals.

While the new wardrobes was eye-catching for the villagers that wasn't what they were focused on, there were more concerned with her sudden physical change in appearance. Why… she was still at the same 5'2" height, her skin color change to a darker tan, her one ponytail got shorter moving from her waist up to the back of her lower shoulder, having to rest of the hair just to flow down from the back. All while still black but carrying a few red crimson streak in it. But what really caught the attention of all the villagers, was what was twitching around the top. She now had black cat's ears pointing up but folding at the tips,

"She was beastkin?" Said Elika,

"Uhmmmm… sure let's go with that" replied Ulia has she walked towards the crowd.

Koki, Rito, Faki all gathered around Elika, as they notice Ulia was walking straight up towards her.

(Sfx Unstealth)

"They're almost here sir" said Rizette appearing out of nowhere beside Lieg,

"Good job, this should save a lot of time".

(I know I did punish her by messing up her last dress, but I didn't expect there to be so many scavengers below so soon to make an entire outfit out of).

Upon coming closer Hoku was visible in her hands being dragged on the floor, this caught the attention of Obi's main crew.

"So if you have Hoku, then what did you hit Obi with?" Asked Elika.

"Shouldn't you be going over there to find out yourself?" Replied Ulia, she then threw hoku unconscious battered body up the steps of the house Lieg was observing from. Has she walked closer not to Elika's crew but to Pai who was being hold by one of Obi's followers.

"What in the world is going on here?" asked Raga just coming into the village with Tetso on his back, between two houses as to not show that he was coming from the planes outside of the village.

Only to see Pai on the shoulder of an unknown beastkin, Hoku bloody and bruised up, Obi nowhere to be found, all while on the side of the group that he was ready to abandon.

"Release her you foul Beast, my granddaughter will not be taken away by the one of your kinds!".

Has he then releases his hold on the chief and made a rapidash towards Ulia, Kirpan summoned in rigth hand, stabbing his left. That made a oozing thick concentrated mist of blood and mana. Ulia stretching out her hand signaling everyone around her to give her some room, all while still having Pai on her shoulder. Then while holding pai on her left side she raises her right arm out, heat started to radiate from the palm.

" I will not allow one of your filthy kinds to take another family member from me again, blade style bloody mist cleaver. "Perfect timing I did have something to say to you, Dab-" But before Ulia could finish.

(Sfx Twitch)

"Can we please not have that" asked Lieg as both Ulia and Raga were stopped in their tracks by Rizette, literally neck-to-neck with each other she just appeared in the middle holding Ulia's right arm with her left and and placing an ice version of kirpan at Raga neck before he could even swing his blade.

"What's the matter old man you can't just break that innocence and weak persona that you had going for you for so long, just at the sight of one my subordinates".

As Ulia flames started to cool down out of her hands Rizette released her cold grip, Raga then took a closer look and realize that it was Ulia and back stepped a bit.

"Well that was pointless fit of rage, for unlike the soldier of a son you had. This little one won't die by a beastkin hands you old fool" added Ulia.
