Well, last chapter was quite a shocker wasn't it?
Their have been many talks of Alicia, the warrior trained to kill Alicia, possibly joining Riful of all people and it looks like it may actually happen.
Let's discuss this possible alliance and all the consequences if such a thing happened.
For one is, actually, Dauf: I think the general impression is that the fat guy is finally gonna die, but if Yagi decides to keep him around, Riful's faction will be that much stronger. Call it bias, but I still believe Alicia will be his replacement, his permanent replacement.
By fully awakening, Alicia will also be probably be a bit stronger then when Beth controls her, not to mention other benefits as healing her mind and most likely beating back the Organization's conditioning with time. No doubt will such a process take time however and, even if Alicia truly is stronger then Riful(which I still believe she is not. She is, in my opinion, at best, equal. Riful's disappointing performance is something I attribute more to her surprise in all these forces suddenly hounding her, none of which she's ever seen before, and her damage already at the hands of the AE's. Not to mention Alicia's very design was made to counter her), Alicia's mind will most likely to definitely be like Miata because of what they did, which is even more ironic. The Organization's attempts to create the most inhuman human designed to kill Riful ends up with the "obedient child" she always wanted. How's that for salt on an open wound?
Most important of all, Alicia is the Abyssal-level warrior Riful has wanted this whole time, which at last gives her a significant foothold on the Organization, especially since Alicia was, not only apart of the Organization and the source of all their considerable resources for many many years, but the very reason why they didn't care for creating the lackluster filler generation they currently have. As such, without Alicia, the Organization is practically defenseless. They can't count on Beth because Beth is most likely going to be a super powerful Rod-monster, and with Miata with her mama in Rabona and unofficially rebelled, The Organization not only has lost their Number 1 and Number 2, but they've lost all Number-1 potential warriors as well.
In short, it's open season on them.
But most important of all is the very reason why Riful went to so much effort to begin with: Priscilla.
Riful and Alicia.....vs Priscilla......could they do it? Could they really beat her?
Hard to say, but I'm actually giving them a very good chance. Right now, it's unknown exactly how much weaker Priscilla is. Part of it is figuring out how much stronger was she to begin with. Riful said that it would take [I]at least[I] two Abyssal-level warriors to have a chance; as such was the term Super-Abyssal born which I always thought she was. Going by Ryus though, she may have been even higher, a Hyper-Abyssal(strong as 3x or even 4x an Abyssal, which I believed was how strong Teresa was). Going by him, she may have weakened herself to the degree to Super-Abyssal which is logical and still more or less leads to her what I believe was her strength to begin with.
Regardless of it all, if this deadly duo were to fight Priscilla right now magically, Rod-monsters and everything aside....I believe they would have a significant chance. Even more importantly is one person that cannot be overlooked: Raki. She will die to protect him and Riful will easily pick up on this. Raki has no chance of winning against warriors of this calibur and, if she plays her cards right, Riful may grab him and threaten his life if Priscilla does not surrender or creates some deadly proposition or scenario such as that. It's much safer then killing him, because if she does, the resulting ferocity from Priscilla may end up killing both her and Alicia.
And of course, their is the Ghosts. The Organization is their primary enemy, but I think i've explained why Riful and Alicia are a much deadlier problem. Against those two as they are, they have no chance, which makes it more likely they will deal with the Organization first before going after Riful, it's more logical. However, it's possible that, with Alicia, Riful will attack the Organization herself. The Ghosts have no quarrel whatsoever with the new generation, which means, incredibly, they may end up "allying" themselves with the Organization, not to save the leaders, but to save the warriors.
Probably will post this in the Island War thread.
