jai streamlined at nuri. he grabbed him by his throat and began to crush him.

meanwhile bell was with ada. "wh-whats happening?" ada asked as she came to the realization something was wrong and saw that jacob was attacking his family. "he's lost control...its happened in the past....tyki, a noah of old had this happen to him as well....they can save him from destroying himself if they can get him to calm down....but i don't know how they would...he's out of control" bell replied and then looked over to addie who was standing now, facing jacob. she started moving towards him



Gil yelled at Addie, telling her to step away. "NO DON'T! You'll get hurt! ADDIE!"

Yet she continued to ignore her father, and walked towards the mad man. Nuri tried to fight and push the man away, but when he couldn't he started to get dizzy, no air entering his lungs. He noticed that Addie was walking towards the two, and Jacob saw that he was looking at something else. "No-.."

Before Jacob could do anything, Addie had hold of him, and was trying to calm him down. "Jack..please..calm down you're hurting everyone."

He was still too out of it, and she was thrown back, landing on the ground with a loud thud, but she got up quickly, and looked him in the eye, as he gave another scream to scare her away.

"Addie! PLEASE!"

"I have to help him...I can't let him run around like this...." She said to Gil, looking back to Jacob, who was just at the point of attacking her, when Nuri came from behind and held his arms back. She took the chance then to wrap her own arms around him and give him a hug, clinging to him tightly, as he continued to flail and try to get away.

"Jack...calm down please...you're hurting the family....let me help you...you helped me...think about what you're doing..let me reach you... love you and I can't let you stay like this...I need you....our baby needs you...our whole family wants you to be safe."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Walker gave a look to his daughter, and he tried to pull her away from the doors, his hands holding her around the waist to keep her from running. " Listen...I don't know what's going on, you have to tell me. I'm not evil....I'm trying to help you..I want to find out what's going on and I want to help you..."

He was a little frightened at what she could do, but he remained strong to what he was saying. "Tell me what's going on."


jacob was still struggling against nuri and addie. he heard addie's words and for a moment thought he'd found himself but he caught sight of gil a bit away from him, worry and hurt clear on his face. the pain of knowing he'd failed gil ripped at his chest and he let out another agonized scream as he flailed hard enough to throw nuri off of him. addie was trying to stop him and trying to keep him planted where he was, but jaocb was pushing her back easily.

bell pulled out her slate and began to write an inscritption on it in blood, her strongest bond with her innocence. "innocence activate" she said and the words began to glow. 'bind' she whispered quietly and innocence held jacob in place. he fought against them but he couldn't break free. "nuri....." bell said to him as she left ada's side and ran to him. "he is too strong...i know its awful but...he needs to be weakened...." she said and looked to addie and then jacob.

~*~*~*~*~*

"i-i can't...you'll lock me away and do bad things to me! mommy is waiting...i have to get back to her.....mommy and daddy are waiting for me! they'll get really mad at uncle jack-rabbit and i need to go!" arisa shouted as she continued to struggle against walker.

~*~*~*~*~*

iku cursed as she kicked rubble. "what the ********]

Nuri looked to bell and then to Addie, who was standing there a bit sadly. He sighed, and thanked Bell, pulling Addie away, "I'll try to weaken him...you don't need to do anything Addie..."

He knew she was already injured from the fight and he didn't want her to hurt jacob, it wasn't something he didn't want her to go through. Suddenly he was smacked. Addie hand flaring hard across his face.

"DUMBASS!!! You're not TOUCHING HIM! If anyone's going to hurt him it's me!" She looked to everyone else, a glare in her eye. " I SWEAR, if any of you touch him, I'll hurt you as well." She was switching though her emotions quickly once again.

Turning to Jacob, who was trying to get free still, once again looking him in the eye, she smacked him firstly, then kicked him in between the legs. " I ******** SWEAR TO YOU NOW, if you don't get back to normal, I'll ******** KILL YOU and then..then..I'll never sleep with you again!"

Gil looked to Ada, a bit disturbed and feeling sick at the mention of anything like that, a silence in the group.

Because she was so angry at the moment, and the previous ability of moving through the shadows being tapped, she somehow had the skill to be able to summon the candles that Road previously used. Shooting them at them, she cut and beat him up. She couldn't really fight him physically, but the onslaught of candles scraping and stabbing at him was enough to calm him down enough.

"GET BACK TO NORMAL YOU ******** b*****d."

~***~*~*~*~*~*~***~*~*~*~*~*~***~*~*~*~*~*~***

"I'm your father! I don't know who else you're talking about! I'm your daddy!" He was ultimately confused by this. He thought aloud and wondered if Arisa was really his daughter. He looked to the Finder that was there.

"You have to stay here...this is where your real family is...please calm down.."


"no! mommy and daddy aren't my real mommy and daddy but they are the mommy and daddy i know! i wanna go home! i have to go-"

iku burst into the room. "it was charles and jacob! they got away...damnit walker you said we'd get them!"
"iku...i'm in the middle of something here"
"i don't give a s**t!"
"iku!"
"listen they had help from the exorcists! Bell and Dilia! they helped them!"
"addie and miss bell are safe?" arisa asked, relief washing over her.

the two stopped and stared at her as realization washed over them

~*~*~*~*~*

jacob started to calm down. crazed jai turned into regular jai and finally faded back to jacob who fell to the ground as soon as bell released her power hold on him. he way laying ont he ground, bruised and bleeding, with addie still kicking him in the gut angrily. nuri and bell walked over and pulled her away from him as gil walked and sat beside him. "jacob?" he asked and shook his shoulder lightly


"HE BETTER WAKE UP!" Addie yelled, trying to get away from Nuri and Bell, a bit carried away.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Walker paused, and stared at his little girl, then looked to Iku. ".....It was all a plan...they must've had Arisa..."

He looked over to Arisa now"..Tell me...what's going on..Iku, go set everything up... If Arisa made it here...on the same day there was an attack..I need to know...."

Getting up and taking Arisa gently by the hand, he lead her out of the room, and to the area where there was a fight. There was blood all over, and he didn't want to really scare his daughter, but he need to know as well what was going on.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~

Gil helped Jacob sit up, though he was tired and hurt.


"i-..." jacob kept his head down as he was helped to sitting. "i'm...sorry....i'm sorry....i-" he just kept repeating it.
"snap out of it jaocb" gil said and shook him a bit. when jacob remained unresponsive bell and nuri let go of addie and let her over to him. gil backed off as his daughter approached. jacob was bleeding and bruised and upset with himself for not saving them all. he continued to mumble his apologies.

"nuri...." bell herslef had tears threatening her eyes and she clung to him tightly. the earl cleared his throat and motioned for the two of them to follow him. bell's heart sank. 'this is it....' she thought as they followed obediently. they were far enough away to not be heard, but close enough that if something happened they could all assist again.
"well nuri...as you know i am not pleased..." the earl said, acting like bell wasn't even there. "you brought an exorcist into our midst...and for that i should kill her...as punishment to you for acting so rashly" nuri still didn't know what the earl was about to divulge. he wasn't in the house when the message came. "however since she is a bookman i suppose i can allow this to continue...under supervision of course....seeing as the girl can't really hurt us all alone and the order won't take her back....she needs us now...it will be nice for our pet casius to have a friend too i suppose...they can keep one another in line"

~*~*~*~*~*

arisa followed, seeing no escape at the moment. she bloody room scared her, she'd been kept from all of the gore, ada always made sure of it, and seeing the blood made her tremble again. "i-is that from uncle jackers and auntie addie?" she asked, her voice weak with worry. "w-what did you do to them?! why did you hurt them??" she started pulling again, trying to get away from her father and he let her go. arisa turned and ran into a woman. she had long dirty blond hair and blue eyes. she saw the little girl and recognized her immediately.

"Laurent..." she asked as she rested her hands on arisa's shoulder and the little girl began crying into her leg. "why did you bring her here?!" one of the finders had gone to inform her that her daughter had been found. the exorcist lifted arisa and carried her away, back to the department heads office where she waited for walker to return.

~*~*~*~*~*

iku walked about the room covered in ash and rubble now. she walked out to find anything she could that would help her figure out how they had gotten in, and why. she knew now that addie was dilia, but she didn't know bell's connection to the noah clan yet.


Addie gave a sigh s she stared at Jacob. Bending down to where he was, she gave him a hug just as she had before, clinging tightly to him, "You had me so worried....I'm so glad you're alright...I'm sorry I made you come for me....I'm the one that's sorry...." She pet his face gently, and made him look to her. " You did great."

She didn't know that Arisa had gone in the order to help, and had been left behind, so to her, he had done great. He'd protected her and come to get her. Giving him a kiss, she clung to him tightly. "I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU, you a*****e...."

Nuri, meanwhile, was ecstatic to hear the Earl had accepted Bell, as a pet or whatever it may have been, he was relieved that he wasn't going to try to kill her. Giving the Earl a quick hug, happy from the going ons, he went over to Bell, and gave her a tight hug, kissing her closely and passionately.

~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The woman who took Arisa took her to a large room, full of books, and couches, one of the many libraries in the Order's head quarters. "...You look so pretty..."

Setting her down on a couch, she sat just across from her. "....My name is Esther....that man that you saw was my husband.....I know that..you've been gone for so long.."

The woman that had taken her away had a tough looking exterior, but she was softhearted for whom she cared about, and tried to wipe her tears away. "...So you already have a mother....But...I'm the one who had you....I'm your birth mother....I don't really know how to explain it to you...but you've been dearly missed..."

Walker came into the room, and looked between his daughter and the woman that was his lover. Well, they had been lovers back when they had Arisa, they were separated for a while since then, the loss of their daughter tearing them apart. "...You're here then.."

"...Get out please.....I want to talk to her alone." The woman with blond hair and blue eyes. ".....You had your chance, I want to speak with my daughter."


"addie i failed...i screwed up...i should have gotten her first....how can i-.....gil...i'm sorry...." he was shaking from how disappointed in himself he was. ada had managed to gather herself a bit, but she was still clearly shaken and she appeared as fragile as porcelain glass on a weakened shelf. "jacob its not your fault...she wanted to go" she said, trying to sound okay with it. "she may be a child but she is strong...i'm sure she is going to be okay....we WILL get her back" she said, determined to save her daughter.

gil nodded at ada, but he couldn't talk to jacob right now. he knew it wasn't jacob's fault and he knew the boy was already beating himself up over the ordeal, but he was still too upset. "...." he just walked away a bit, ada following behind him. nuri and bell walked back over to the two sitting in the grass. "addie jacob..." bell said and offered her hand and nuri offered his to help the two up. "we need to go...we are too close to the order...and we can't go back to your home....." she said and they group of four solemnly walked over to the earl. casius had rejoined the family as well. ada and gil were silently holding hands, trying to support one another more then themselves. jacob noticed how they relied on each other and he lowered his head again, still upset with himself for letting gil down.

~*~*~*~*~*

"this is concerning me as well...she is my daughter too Esther....I have a right to be here and help you explain everything" walker said and he closed the giant doors behind him. he stood near the door, giving his wife room though he firmly stayed where he was.

arisa looked at the pretty woman in front of her. "y-you....remind me of mommy..." she said, opening more to the woman than she had for laurent. "can i go back to mommy and daddy if i talk to you?" she asked, still timid and shy, and of course upset


Esther ignored Walker by the door, and continued talking to Arisa, "...Please...tell me what's your name....?" Esther tried to seem calm. She'd just gotten her daughter back, she wasn't going to promise letting her see her 'mother' she was her mother. Walker was her father. "We named you..Merriella back when you were born... but I can only guess...you have another name now right sweetie?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Addie was walking with Bell, and Jacob with Nuri. She looked over to the man, and though she wanted to help him come back to being himself, at the same time, she felt helpless. Pulling Bell with her, she moved over next to Jacob, and grabbed hold of his hand, walking beside him just as Gil and Ada were. Silently walking beside him, she helped keep him up even if Nuri and Bell were helping them to keep from falling over.

Lero, who was floating around, made his way to the Earl, who carried him, his head down, trying to think of a way to get back Arisa and Merri. "We'll work on getting the girls back, you all recover firstly..."

Aiming lero like a gun at the order, he proceeded to pretend to shoot him at them "...bang!&3"

They all went home after that, and sat with the longest and most sad silence that had ever been in the home. The girls weren't running around and laughing, and everyone else was injured, or worried, and no one was moving around, just sitting on the couch, or laying on a bed in their rooms, resting or being wrapped in bandages.

Addie looked to jacob, she was upset, it was her fault to begin with that Arisa was gone and Jacob felt so bad, so without saying a word, she left to go sit in the backyard, giving Jacob some time alone, while she sat with Ada, her mother, out back, holding her hand to show her she had her support.

"We'll get her back...Arisa and Merri are my little sisters after all...I won't let my little sisters down..and I won't let you down..."



the earl had taken them to their new home, a small castle in Finland (hahaha 03< wink . they sat around in the quiet castle and jacob watched as addie stood and walked out to the back of their new home.

Bell was laying in nuri's room with him, both of them tired. she ran her fingers up and down his arm tenderly. and kissed his shoulder softly. "i can't go back...i can't be your eyes and ears...but i can tell you what i know if it helps..." she offered and then began to recite her information. "Laurent Walker. Leader of the North American Science Department of the Black order. He has been there for at least 22 years. Esther Walker, his bride, is a general rank exorcist. Ten years ago, almost 11 years now, shortly after their marriage, Esther became pregnant. On February 23, ten years ago, she gave birth to a small baby girl named Merriella. Less than a week after her birth the child was stolen from the hospital in which she had been born. Merriella was, from birth, found to be an accomodator. she was being held in the hospital because debate was running on whether or not the department would experiment on the child, being found to be the youngest confirmed accomodator ever.
Her innocence is what allows her to become two separate individuals. she split and became merri, most liekly named after her birth self, and arisa, the daughter ada raised and gil fathered, so to speak." She sighed and closed her eyes, laying her head against nuri's shoulder. "i'm sorry, but that is all the information i have right now..." she said and wrapped her arms around him.

~*~*~*~*~*

"ugh....i'm not a stupid little kid!" arisa said and rolled her eyes. "i'm almost 11 now....and merri is my other me...i'm arisa...A RI SA .... " she said and pulled her knees up close to her chest, half hiding her face as she snuck looks at her alleged mother. "miss esther...i just want to go home...uncle jack-rabbit was supposed to get me....mommy and daddy are-"

"who are your mommy and daddy arisa?" laurent asked, a bit kinder to his daughter than he had been to his wife.

Nuri hugged Bell back, and gave her a kiss on the forehead, "...Bell thank you so much for everything you've done for us."

Gil nodded, as he was still inside, his head in his hands, having heard everything Bell explained. "I agree, thank you...Arisa and Merri are Ada's and my daughter, and we're going to get them back at whatever means necessary."

Following her mother back inside, Addie found Gil and Ada together once again, holding each other up through this, and she admired them, looking over to Jacob, and then onto the ground, before moving over to where he was. She took his hand, and gave it a reassuring squeeze, "We'll help too as much as we can. They're my little sisters after all."

She knew Jacob felt sad and upset. She knew he was feeling like he'd let the family down, but she would stand by him to help pick him up, just as Gil and Ada stood by eachother. She wanted to prove to Jacob, that she would stand by him, just as he could stand by her, that she cared about him, and that if he needed a shoulder, she'd be the one to lend it to him.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After Arisa explained everything, Esther remained totally calm through out the entire thing. "...So you were raised by the Noah...family..."

Looking over to her estranged husband, she walked him to the side of the room to talk to him. "...They must've been the ones that stole our daughter...we can't let her go back to them, they're dangerous...."


"i agree....she is OUR daughter...and they are noahs...they can't be allowed to do this, they have brainwashed her....we need to correct this..." he whispered to esther.

arisa heard them and she turned around quickly "w-what?! but you said if i told you...." she jumped out of her chair "I WANNA GO HOME! I WANT MOMMY AND DADDY!!" she stormed over to the door and tried to open it but laurent picked her up and pulled her from the door, kicking and screaming.

~*~*~*~*~*

"...i know kitten....." jaocb looked up, into her eyes, and he was confident in himself. "i am going to protect this family...we are going to be okay....i made a promise...i'm going to keep it..." jacob was starting to pull out of his depression. while addie was outside with ada he'd gone over it again and again in his mind. he'd decided that moping around wasn't something a soon to be father would do, and he needed to show gil he was going to protect his family.

"tonight...we recover...tomorrow we start planning how to get her back...."

"STOP! STOP!" Esther didn't like Arisa being held down like that, even if it was because she wanted to get away. Pushing her husband away from her, she pulled the little girl off the floor, and held her tightly, despite the fact that she wanted to get away from her as well. "Don't be such a brute. LIKE you said, she is our DAUGHTER, and we have to protect her, and I'll protect her from you if that's what I need to do got it?"

Letting Arisa stop kicking and screaming to get away, and get tired out, she rested her on a long couch that was in the room, and put a blanket over her. "..You...I swear, you hold her down like that again, the Order will have to track me down for your murder."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

They each went off to their own rooms, The Earl had a problem with Addie going into Jacob's room, but she insisted, and began to cry, and he couldn't help but let her, though all she did was try to sleep by him innocently. Bell and Nuri were in their own room, and as were Gil and Ada. The new home, in the worthless country of FINLAND, ((Good job picking countries ;D ))was a lot larger than the american counter parts they'd had before, and therefore there were more rooms, that were larger. Larger halls, larger kitchen and a larger living room. Not to mention, lots and lots of other rooms that were there for merely decorative purposes. A library, another library, a pool hall, and all sorts of those things, though right now, the ones that were being used were the simple ones, the bed rooms, and the small medical room to treat wounds.

As the night progressed, they all fell asleep, and planned for the next morning in their dreams, having each other for support to find the missing family member.

The next morning, while the rest of the family was either getting dressed, or throwing up in the bathroom from morning sickness, Gil and Ada were early to rise and were planning on how to get their daughter back, plans set up around the table.


jacob woke up and walked to the bathroom, hearing addie throwing up already. he sat with her there until she was feeling better, then he let her shower before taking one himself. normally he would have jokingly teased her to join him in the shower but he was too focused on arisa to think with his d**k today. he let the cold morning water shock him into being more awake, and he thought about izzy and what he would do, letting their minds work together and forming jai while in the shower, he was jacob again though as he dried and got dressed. he took addie by the hand and walked to join ada and gil, still not looking the older noah in the eye.

bell and nuri did shower together, unlike playa jacob. they joined the family as well, after getting ready. the earl lero and casius were all in one of the studies, working on something together.

arisa was sleeping on the couch late into the next day. she was awakened by her mother carrying her to a shower room. "shhhh shh....go on back to sleep" she prompted the small girl softly. arisa tried to resist the urge to close her eyes again. "...i...want my..mommy..." she said as she felt her eyes unwillingly shut again and she drifted back to sleep.

laurent had been pissy all night, listening to esther's threats and such. he watched arisa sleeping on the couch and was amazed to see his daughter revert back tot he form she held when she was first brought to him. he explained to esther about the phenomenon and thats when she decided to take the girl to hevlaska to have her evaluated.

meanwhile, merri arrived in front of her parents jacob and addie bell and nuri in the kitchen of the new home. she rubbed her eyes sleepily and yawned. "this isn't the right home...." she said and looked around.

((omg...Jaizaiah in the shower....that's kinda fanservice-y >///u///> lol ))
Gil stopped what he was doing instantly, and ran to Merri, hugging her tightly. "Merri! MERRI!" He took her with him, picking her up, and taking her over to her mother so she could be with her as well. They clung and hugged her tightly for atleast 20 minutes before trying to talk to her about anything at all.

"Honey, sweety-pie. Are you alright? How's Arisa..? Are you both alright?" He asked, still treating the girls as separate, rather than one person that they were. "Are you hungry? We'll get you food." Gil said, but not moving from his spot next to Merri and Ada, who was still hugging her tightly.

An akuma, who were running much more easily now that the machine had been destroyed the day before, made the breakfast instead. And of course, Gil tried to spoon feed it to his daughter.

"Merri, please...we have to get you back...is there anything you can tell us about what's going on..? So that Mommy and Daddy and all of us can come get you...?" Addie asked the girl softly, not wanting to eat the breakfast whose smell in reality, made her want to go run off and throw up what she hadn't earlier.

As Merri ate sleepily, Arisa was with her birth mother, silently getting tested by Hevlaska. Esther had her tested while she was still slightly asleep, so that she wouldn't be scared by the large, monster looking woman that was the exorcist.

"...95% synchronization rate." The woman said, in her loud, yet soft voice.

As usual, they awaited any sort of prophecy, she always spoke one on after testing an exorcist's sync rate, but Hevlaska remained silent except for a, "...Alot of Roads lie ahead...there are too many choices for one child to make...she needs the right family to guide her back to where she belongs truly.


merri just sat there as she was smothered in love by her parents. "mommy i'm fine....daddy!" she giggled cutely "i'm fine....sissy is fine...we are okay...there are another mommy and daddy....they said they our my mommy and daddy....arisa is with the other mommy....she left other daddy and i came here" she said and picked at a piece of toast.

"merri.....you and arisa know...that we are coming for you...right?" jacob asked the little girl who seemed to not have a care in the world. "we won't leave you there...we all love you very much..."

arisa answered jacob sleepily from the order. "i know....uncle jackrabbit" she said as she was set back down by hevlaska. esther picked her little girl up again and tried to figure out how a small child had such a high sync rate.

laurent had been watching from a view station. he called a few other members of the science department, and a few from other orders, one being finland, to confer with them on what to do. the decision was unanimous. they all thought arisa needed to be studied more and she needed to be 'cleansed' of the noah influence.

((i'mma make laurent bad))


((oh nooo ))

As Esther carried Arisa out of the room where Hevlaska was, and into the room where she was supposed to sleep in She thought it safer for her daughter to eat inside with her, and because she was of general status, she got the luxuries. A large room, nice large bed, she could call the chef, Perry ((lol perry...jerry I'm just that good)) to bring food up for them.

Waiting for her to wake up properly, she watched her sleep for a long while, ordering the food just as she had planned. "..I wonder who this..Jack-rabbit..is...an imaginary friend..or something...?"

"Pretty lady with pretty hair is here!" Merri said randomly yet happily. She waved at her excitedly. Looking over to her parents, she tilted her head curiously. "...But Daddy...if you're gonna come and get us you should do it fast..other Daddy..he makes my tummy hurt..."

She was referring to the bad feeling that Arisa got from the man, but she couldn't word it properly.


jacob had to leave the room when merri started talking about the bad feeling she got from someone at the order. ada herself felt her stomach knot up at hearing about another 'mommy and daddy'. bell just smiled at the little girl, happy to be remembered. "hi merri...don't worry...as soon as we get your sister back...you two can play with my hair all you like...i promise" she said tot he little girl who became happy immediately.

'snap out of it jacob.....get hold of yourself...' izzy said to jacob calmly in his mind. "right...." jaocb said, as if it was that easy.

arisa began to wake up as light filtered into the room. generals were the only exorcists afforded the luxury of windows. arisa woke up on the giant bed and looked around. she saw esther sitting in a chair, smiling at her kindly.

merri looked up at her parents. "sissy needs me again...by mommy bye daddy....i'll see you guys soon" she said as she smiled and faded out, back into arisa. arisa looked hard and cold at esther. "your a bad person! you are a liar and mommy and daddy end everyone else..they are gonna come and take me home....you are a kidnapper and kidnappers go to prison!" she said matter of factly

arisa could smell the warm food and her tummy grumbled a bit from how good it smelled.

"you sound hungry merriella...why don't you have something to eat....and you can tell me about mr. jackrabbit?" she offered and carried the tray of food to the girl


As Arisa ate, Esther went over to a small drawer across the room, and on her way back, she had a book in her arms. She sat just near Arisa, and smiling to her kindly, opened the book up. It was an album that she had kept. It had pictures of when she was pregnant with Arisa, and a few of the day she was born, with Esther holding her in her arms.

"...Do you see..? I've kept it for all this time..this little baby is you..back when you were born..you were taken away from me...But I was so happy to have you...like I'm happy to see you sitting in front of me right now... I don't want to lose you again."

Turning the book over so that Arisa could look at the pictures, she handed it to her, petting her head softly. "...I don't want to kidnap you..I'm your real mother, and I just want to be able to have you with me again...is that so bad...?"

Just as Merri disappeared, everyone's faces looked downtrodden once again. Clapping her hands together,Addie tried to get everyone out of their slump. "Well..you heard her...Arisa and Merri are waiting for us to get them! So we better get to it!"

She leaned over to Jacob, confused as to how Merri had appeared and reappeared, not knowing the current circumstances and the girls' actual powers, and asked what that was about.

"You're right...come on Ada." Gil said, happy a tiny bit that Merri had come by, knowing they were safe at the moment took a bit of the stress away. "..That damned..machine...is broken now..so obviously it'll be easier for us to get near...though there'll definitely be alot of exorcists around to defend everyone..."

They continued talking for a long while, deciding it would be best for Ada and Gil to come and get the girls, while Addie stayed home for the time being. Jacob and Nuri had to make sure all the guarding exorcists around the order were taken down, and Bell had to help lead Ada and Gil through the maze of that was the headquarters.

"...Any objectives...?" Gil asked looking around the table."..Besides people who should be staying home and not fighting anyhow?"
