#7 by Carnifex

Carnifex climbed down from his fighter onto the deck of the landing bay of Deshima, his mind contemplating deeply the state of Kusari.
The inevitable had finally come to pass. New Tokyo fell permanently to the invaders and almost on the spot half the stations still in the hands of resistance fighters had surrendered. All Hunters Guild members had been informed that Kusari resistance were to no longer be considered connected to the house of Kusari. The bounty business in Kusari had temporarily come to a halt (with the exception of the Outcasts who attacked and were attacked without reason or provocation). With the rise of a new government put in place by the Outcasts, sourced from the Dragons, the Hunters Guild had some negotiating to do before the trade in lives could be recommenced in Kusari. And in future it would be the former heroes of Kusari that would be the targets of their oppressed brethren.
Kusari was no more; now the sun had risen on a new empire. BHG now needed a place in it.
