"Like I need your pity. But do try to understand why I simply can't give up and surrender myself to you two, it's not that easy as you might think." Warikomu said.
"Well, try to make us understand then. How is prison worse than being killed by dead nuns?" Dietz shrugged.
"...Have you two ever been in prison before? Do you know what it feels like to be stuck in a tiny room with actual killers and crazy people who treat like you a doormat. Receive beatings from them day in and day out just for looking at them funny. Treat you like a slave and the reason you ended up in there in the first place is because you killed a rapist who was about to do something horrible to your own sister and then you're punished for it because the justice system is biased. That place was the definition of Hell. Atleast the undead make it quick but jail is a slow painful death process. But it's not like you two would understand, all you care about is looking good in the eyes of your people after all." Warikomu frowned.

"That's a hell of a bold accusation." Theseus frowned in turn. "Like I let myself get blown up just to 'look good'. I was actually trying to stop a assassination, you don't go that far if you're motivated by appearance.
Granted, it definitely sounds like your universes justice system needs a few changes if you seriously got jailed for saving someone's life."

"So, you broke out of jail and joined F?" Dietz guessed.
"No. The old man came to me and gave me an offer. If I join his crew and help him succeed, he will arrange strings and wipe my record clean so I can be a part of society again and see my family. I accepted without hesitation. I din't care about the consequences as long as I was able to get out of that place. At first, I was okay with working with them, I figured this could of been my chance of redeeming myself in the public's eyes once F2 made it to the top...and eventually, I got attached to the people from that group. They accepted me and made me feel like I belong there. They din't mistreat me and make me feel like I'm worthless, it was nice to have friends on my side. I had trouble finding my own group of friends even before I got imprisoned." Warikomu sighed.
He started scratching the ground with his nails.
"...Then everything fell apart the moment that wimp from 3 screwed us over with those alien stones and Minami double-crossed us. Then her sister killed most of my friends even though we weren't involved with what happened to Minami and worst of all, she did not get punished. She got her traitor sister back and some thing wearing plastic armor is looking out for her, ignoring what she did, she got away with everything." Warikomu growled.
He then looked at Dietz.
"You and your buddy were a part of the original Royal Guard that stole our Universe's crest and yet you two never got punished, you were given a second chance but we din't, our only choice was to run without looking back. Does any of this sound remotely fair to you?" Warikomu asked.
"...It really doesn't when you say it but..." Dietz muttered.

"...Huh?" Theseus turned his head to Dietz. "...Wait, no, he's right.
The only thing I really have to say might be odd is Minami double-crossing them, from what I heard what they wanted her to do some things that would've only made it worse for you anyway. I was under the impression the thing she betrayed you guys over was literally the thing that would make a new iteration of the leader that was also betraying you guys."

"...I guess what you are trying to say is that yeah, I got off pretty easy compared to the others but...you're not the only one who got played dirty by life you know." Dietz sighed.
He looked Warikomu straight in the eyes.
"You're not the only who got betrayed and had your entire group fall apart, you know. I got betrayed by my leader who kicked me out and then killed a teammate of mine, before I could of had the chance of getting payback, those two Vixerello squirts got to him before I could. And I don't even like those guys one bit, they ended up killing Genesis and din't even feel sorry for it and din't do anything as they watched Tapio getting killed by that prick. Most of the guys from the original Royal Guard died except me and Hercule, then we tried to pick up the pieces and start everything fresh. I don't give a damn about those wishes, all I care about right now is stopping the dead guy who wants to bring about an apocalypse so all of us won't die, it would be sucky if every person who got involved with us died at the end. You're trying to look out for your peeps too but, it's not like you are the only one suffering right now." Dietz said, rubbing the back of his neck.
He gestured at Theseus.
"I mean, look at Theseus here, he lost half of his body because of that asshole and din't even get the chance to put him in the ground himself and it was someone else who killed him instead, atleast you can still eat food as much as you want but can you say the same about him? That doesn't seem fair at all either." Dietz pointed out.

"And ignoring us, there's everyone in this universe, who have to deal with the fact that if they die then there spirits may be stuck in their body as it re-animates and tries to kill everyone they love.
From what I've heard, Aku's had a rough life as well, and that doesn't justify anything he's currently doing.
Then, there's my daughter... I can see where she was coming from. Her father becomes a hero, but she all but grows up without ever getting to see him because his half-mechanical body is still in a coma. Then when he finally comes back, he almost dies again..." He spoke this lady line faintly. "...That's not fair on her either."

Warikomu was silent for a few moments as he listened to what they had to say.
"...So, what's it gonna be. Are we gonna continue fighting like dumbasses or try to stop the guy from killing us all?" Dietz asked.
Warikomu just stared at the ground.
"...You can have the orb, on one condition. You make sure no one else from my group dies. That's all I ask." Warikomu proposed.

"We cannot guarantee it, but if it will give us the orb, the least we can do is try our best and make sure you all see fair trial instead of dying here." Theseus said.

"...Fine." Warikomu said, his expression din't change.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out the orb he had.
Dietz slowly walked up to him, leaning towards him to try to grab the orb.
Warikomu grabbed him by his wrist, staring at him intently.
"...You better keep your promise." Warikomu said.
"...Y-yeah, no sweat." Dietz said, slightly nervous.
He slowly grabbed the orb, pulling it from his grasp as he slowly backed away from him and looked at Theseus next.

Theseus looked at Warikomu, then at Dietz. "...Should we leave him here?" He asked. "Doesn't seem right to do that, considering what our mission was."

"...He is not exactly in any condition to walk, it would leave him vulnerable to any zombies who might be lurking nearby even if we took care of those nuns. Just restrain him with something and take him back to the ship. Carrying him will be another problem given how heavy he appears to be, no offense." Dietz said, looking at Warikomu.
Warikomu din't even make a comment to his implication.

"Oh, that wouldn't be a issue." Theseus said.
He raised up a hand and the ground beneath Warikomu lifted itself up, carrying him as well.

"Ah, that takes care of that." Dietz said.
He looked into his transceiver.
"Now we need to know where Selene fucked off to, if she is planning to grab another orb or try to find the other pirates." Dietz said.

When looking at it...
She was between the north and the east, but judging by how chaotically her signal was sliding around, something was going on.

"She appears to be somewhere in between where we are and where Hercule and Diana are at right now. And last time we heard from them, they were being chased by the singing kid and her tree army so that's definitely not a good sign." Dietz said, looking at Theseus.
