Waking Dream - Devil Survivor CYOA

You decide that the prisoners would make a great distraction. You wait until the other patrol's checking the far side of the building. Six guards... Six soldiers Oh, Sara is not going to like this. You explain your idea to Kumiko and Rita.

"I'm... not sure I'm OK with this..." Rita whispers.

"So you'll just sit there and let someone die when you have the power to save them?" Kumiko demands. "We don't have to kill those guys. Just smash their phones and they'll be forced to fall back."

"Mmmmph..." Rita groans. She doesn't protest further.

This is... fine, right? Fine-ish, at least. Regardless, it has to happen... you tell yourself. You pull out your phone and check everyone's status. You're linked to Kumiko and Rita. You tossed out demons and skills already, but now that you actually know what's happening... You sigh noticing the black slots where the Lilim Sisters should be. That demon they were fused into's still pretty far from being done decrypting or repairing or whatever...

Is everything set? Is it time to attack...?

(A) Yes, we're ready!
(B) No, we need to fix something.
(C) Uh... What were the other options again?

A we're in too deep to back out now.

You finish checking through your phone.  Everything seems ready.  You're ready to attack.  Completely ready.  Won't be more ready to attack than this.  You realize you're biting your lip.

You tell them you don't want to do this.  Sara will forgive you for trying to save someone.  She'll be mad, for sure, but she'll understand.  Probably.  Sooner or later she'll forgive you.  But you'd still better keep the violence to a minimum.  You tell Kumiko to wait a minute then make as much of a distraction as she can, then find somewhere nearby to hide.  You take Rita's arm and guide her through the fence, ducking behind cover to avoid the soldiers' gaze.

After a few seconds, Kumiko walks over and kicks a trashcan over.  The soldiers snap to attention.  "Guard the prisoners!" one commands.  A pair run after Kumiko and she sprints away.  You take advantage of the confusion to lead Rita to the relative safety of the building.  Kumiko ducks behind a wall, and you summon Grey.  You use his ability to snatch Kumiko and warp her to you.  The soldiers come around the wall, confused about her disappearing act.  You keep moving past the lobby.

You hear the sound of running footsteps and pull the pair into a small room.  "They're requesting reinforcements outside," you hear a passing soldier saying.

"Are the Cobras back already?  We don't stand a chance if-"

"The distraction's working fine, it's just a few stragglers.  Nothing we can't handle.  We just need to buy a few more minutes."  You hear the steps disappearing down the hallway.  That went better than you expected.

A and ummm I dont know I dont I don't know 3

Final vote

A3

You can do this.  You feel along your neck, trying to remember how it felt.  Oh...  You have an idea.  You quietly whisper to Kumiko that you need to test something.  She looks at you confused, then agrees.  You stick her in a headlock, to no avail.  Rita gives you a few small corrections and Kumiko starts tapping your arm in a panic.

You sneak up behind the sentry and subject him to your newly-honed strangle hold.  He lets out a gurgle as he struggles against your grip.  You carefully lower him to the ground as he goes slack.  You signal Kumiko and Rita to follow as you head upstairs.

After an exhausting climb up several flights of stairs your legs are on fire.  It seems they still aren't fully healed...  Rita's a bit out of breath.  Kumiko doesn't seem the least bit bothered.

You find the doors to the roof and carefully push them open.  You find four soldiers passed out near the door.  Elise is standing across the roof from you near the edge, panting heavily and clearly injured.  Sara's standing with her back to the door, a bit winded but in much better shape.

"Heh...  I don't always get yer language's subtleties... but you tryin' ta kill me after I saved yer life yesterday's 'ironic,' ain't it?" Elise asks.

"I'm trying to take you alive," Sara explains.  "Stop resisting and just surrender!"

"Biscuits to a bear, Bird.  If'n ya don't kill me, yer bosses most definitely will.  I'd rather die fightin' with a weapon in m' hands and a curse on m' lips then surrender and get executed as'n example.  ...Heh, well, look who decided ta show up."

Sara glances over her shoulder and starts in surprise.  "Kira!?  What are you doing here...!?" she demands in confusion.  You aren't sure if that small hint of anger's because she was just fighting, or because she's mad you're here.

(A) We're here to help you, Sara
(B) We're here to help you, Elise
(C) We're here to stop this fighting

Agh crap I dont want to fight Sara but we owe Elise our lives, and I think neutrality will just anger everyone lets go with B since we have other party members from her gang and I do get the feeling she will be killed if captured.

Actually Crow can't we explain the situation like hey ladies umm your both going to die if you don't get off this roof. Long story short had a vision both you and Elise are going to die if this fighting continues umm let's get to lower ground and talk it out.

You tell them you're here to stop the fighting.

"Oh, what, just gonna deck us both and have us talk it out?  Then she lets me go, helps me stroll past the barricade o' armed soldiers down below?" Elise asks mockingly.  "Nah, ya right muppet.  There's no talkin' this through."

Sara nods.  "She's right, Kira.  Even if I owe her my life, it's my duty to bring her to justice.  She's a threat to society and I have to arrest her."

"I told ya I'm not comin' alive," Elise promises.  "Free or dead, no middle ground."  She raises her phone and gets ready to summon her demons.  Sara does the same.

"You don't have to do this!" Rita insists.

"They aren't listening to us," Kumiko says.  "We're going to have to knock one of them out or something..."

"Stay back, Kira, I don't want you getting hurt!" Sara commands.  "She's dangerous!"

"I wouldn't mind a wee bit o' help," Elise admits.

(A) Attack Sara
(B) Attack Elise
(C) Stay out of it
(D) Knock them both down

We can't hurt Sara though... She's been with us since the beginning and truth be told Elise will probably kill Sara if given the chance. Especially if the Four of us are all focusing on Sara at once.

If we choose C then we are going to watch the both of them kill one another.

I say B because at least Sara is reasonable and we have a chance of talking her down rather then Elise. If it causes a logjam then D but we focus on Elise first.
