AnE RPG: True Cross Academy, England Branch

[RaveDragon]

Introductory Arc: The New, Special Class

In the busy city of London, the capital city of England just behind the Big Ben lies a school for exorcist commonly known as True Cross Academy around the world. This year in the headmistress' office an argument was currently unfolding due to a certain group of students.

Melina Chaos an elegant woman who looked to be in her late twenties wearing clothing similar to a butler suit albeit switching trousers for a graceful skirt was currently irked by one homeroom teacher, Toro Hughes. He was a coward and not much of a fighter but his teaching skills payed for that and his sense of duty was admirable as well.

"They have talent, Toro, and Lin assured the boy she presented us is, special, for lack of better word," Melina said for what seemed to her the thousandth time. In front of her lay the information papers for the students she was referring to.

Three of them were esquires and the fourth was a page, this boy Melina was sure wouldn't be long before he reached the others, and she wanted to keep an eye on all of them. Amaterasu 'Ammy' Mdina (Esquire), Philip Timnah (Esquire), Wilfred Lass (Esquire) and Desmonde Phelps (page), all of them would be a source of great fun indeed.

"But Head-," Tora began.


"Oh Hush Toro, you just don't like the fact Ammy kicked your but in her examination for Knight," Pleasance Lacie voice could be heard from the back of the room were she had been chatting with Lin another exorcist, the golden haired woman was never one to judge by something like parentage and Toro was getting on her nerrves, "I hear she aced her doctor examination as well,"

The man turned beet red in one instant and snapped, "She still need the credits to achieve the ranks, a demon like her shouldn't even be allowed in a school for exorcists! She is dangerous and unstable, and the boys-

"I think the fact they are all esquires with no 'criminal record' whatsoever proves they have promise of achieving a higher rank," Melina said a warning in her tone could be heard, "Lin is also an exorcist I trust, her boy will catch up,"

"She is just a mon-" the man continued but was interrupted once again by Lin this time. His hate was evident.

"I hear she's the youngest of the demon Fenris' kids, and the mother unlike other demons follows her heart and truly loves her children," Lin stated.

"If she heard you now you'd be dead," Pleasance added, "Fenris has power equal to Satans in strength I hear,"

"Yet she does not care for power but revels in freedom, we are lucky for that," Melina smirked.

The information seemed to silence the man and Melina gave out her orders.

"We are not here to argue about Ammy, but the new class for these pupils, I want you guys, Pleasance and Toro to take care of them and train them, Lin I will talk to you later about your task...these children could be excellent exorcists~" Melina ordered smiling but the angry tick mark on her forehead a warning to all to stop any arguments.

"Classes start tomorrow I am counting on you~" she said dismissing them.


xXx

The following day Amaterasu "Ammy' Mdina was walking sulkily towards room 44 of true cross academy.The place looked like a jigsaw puzzle, a really ginormous one.

http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110502093056/aonoexorcist/images/thumb/c/ce/TCA.jpg/300px-TCA.jpg

They had told her she had done splendidly in the Knight and Doctor examinations. She even kicked her examiners butt without using her demon side and yet. Credits! She needed to get credits to move up because of her 'special' circumstance.

"It's not my fault my mother is a demon overlord," she muttered, a snort of agreement came from next to her feet.

Ammy blinked looking down and saw a small red fox with black tips on her ears and tail. Her paws are also black. She knew this was a familiar.

"Mother sent you didn't she?" she asked the little demon fox. Irritation etched on her features.

'Yes,' she heard a small feminine voice tell her, 'I am-,'

"The answer is no," she said ignoring the shocked demon who kept following her.
She placed the key in a random door she found and entered a long corridor filled with classrooms, she walked past various rooms, training room for all sorts of ranks like the target practice room for dragoons until she reached the number 44.

Opening the door she grimaced as she saw the man glaring at her, next to him was a golden haired woman who raised an eyebrow at her and smirked.

"You're early," Toro hughes grumbled as if accusing her, No animal-"

"Hush Hughes," Pleasance warned.

'Not him,' Ammy thought taking a random seat without paying any attention to him. The room was like a normal class, a blackboard and several seats some of which were occupied. The little demon fox sat on the desk by her.

[Tame]

'First day back,' thought a young man to himself. He was sitting on a bench alone outside the True Cross Academy. Checking his phone he saw that he still had a few minutes until class began. He yawned and stretched his legs out in front of, letting his head lean back to look the the clouds. His grey beanie slipped a little and the brown hair that framed his face was momentarily blown about by the breeze. He took a final drag of the cigarette he was holding, tossed it away, and stood up, picking up the sheathed sword that had been leaning against the bench as he did so. He sloped to the nearest door, took a key from his pocket and put it into the lock. Opening the door onto a long corridor, her slouched his way down it until he reached the room marked '44'. He opened the door it it, pulling his hat off as he did so. Glancing over at the two adults stood at the front of the room he saw that they were Toro Hughes, whom he didn't much like, and Pleasance Lacie, his own master, of whom he was very fond. He gave a small smile and sat down in a random seat.

'Wonder what this is about,' Phil wondered to himself. 'We don't usually have two teachers.'

[Ghan]

Outside, Desmond had arrived at the address that Lin gave him. The size of the place left Desmond in awe. " Well, what the hell am i supposed to do now", he said. Looking down at his palm, he could still see the magic circle there from last night. " I wonder what's so special about this mark", he asked. Well standing there wasn't going to get him anywhere, so Desmond decided to enter the nearest building and walk down the hall until he could find some help or Lin.

[RaveDragon]

"DESMOND!" a voice from behind him cried. It was Lin and she didn't look happy. She grabbed his arm and rushed him towards class.

"What are you doing? You should be in class in 5 minutes, I've been looking everywhere from you! Where are your keys?" Lin asked him a question after another.

Meanwhile in class:

"Lin's and her kid are late..." Toro mumbled looking at his watch.

Pleasance in the meantime was talking to Philip ignoring Toro's existence.

"How are you feeling about this transfer? Listen that girl over there give her this sword afterwards, tell her it's from Melina, Toro and I will explain everything when Lin and all the students are present," Pleasance nodded towards Ammy.

Ammy was currently sleeping with her head on the little demon fox whom she decided could at least be useful for something.

((OOC: Ghan could you tell me what Lin will be? a teacher? or maybe like shura she'll keep an eye on us? Pm me or something))

[Ghan]

"Uhhhh I dont have any keys and I didn't know where I was going. I blame this on you", Desmond said. This place was literally HUGE. Desmond wondered if there were that many exorcists for this place to be built.

[shukketsumaru]

True Cross Academy - Teacher's Lounge
A tapir in a shroud of purple smoke sits atop a table, munching on sweets from out of a big pink box.
"Hmmm...This isn't good"
Wilfred Lass leans back in a chair, also eating out of the box of sweets, and stares at a set of keys.
"None of these lead to room 44 and for some reason I'm now in the teacher's lounge."
He looks up at clock, it's 4'till.
He puts his head down on the table.
"Chowdry...what should we do?"
The tapir lifts its head from out of the pink box and grunts.
Wilfred stands, puts the tapir in the pink box and closes the lid, which is labeled "Toro."
"You're right. Sitting around is getting us no where, if we make a spectacle of ourselves we'll be bound to run into someone."
Wilfred opens the lounge door and enters the empty hallway. He stops immediately and notices Room 44 right across from him.
Ohhhh!", he cried with lackadaisical enthusiasm, "we're here!"
He walks over to the door while cheerfully humming and throws the door open. A wave of high tension washes over him, leaving him dumbfounded.
He groans, "What sort of hell is this now?"

[RaveDragon]

""About time young man-" Toro had started to say. Willard and Chowdry had entered the room and steered clear of door which was just about then kicked open and sailed right into Toro's face.

"Whoops~" Lin grinned with Desmond being pulled in the room right behind her. Something told the present it was fully intentional.

"Didn't know you got a familiar Ammy," she said ruffling the girls hair who stood up from her sleeping position looked at Toro and smirked.

"Take a seat Willard and Desmond" Pleasance told the boy, "it is time for introductions,"

As the boys took their respective seats and Toro recovered, Pleasance who seemed the most responsible of the trio began the introductions.

"My Name is Pleasance Lacie and I will be your Fatal Verse Recitation intructor," the golden haired woman, who seemed to be in her thirties said, "This sulky man over here happens to be your homeroom teacher, Toro Hughes,"

Lin not one to for quiet or introductions took over for Pleasance who just smiled used to the woman, "I am Lin, Lin Elric and I will be your 'supervisor' for now, I will also be sharing some classes with Toro,"

"I want you to keep and eye on these kids," Melina had told her the night before as they met on their own in the headmistress' office.

"Like kill anyone of them who betrays us,' Lin questioned.

"Kill is a strong word, just make sure they don't so anything we wouldn't like~" Melina hummed, "take them to Paris, there the children can show us what they are capable off,"

"But Desmonde has just-" Lin started to argue but Melina raised her hand to stop her.

"What better time to fully understand his kille than on the battlefield when he truly need them," Melina smiled sending shivers down lin's spine who nodded.
In times like these Lin remembered the headmistress was truly a demon.

Ammy snorted knowing fully well the for now meant she would be their killer if any of them made the wrong move. At least for a demon child like her there would be no second thoughts.

"You are all esquires, Desmonde being the exception is a page," Pleasance continued, "We will leave you for a while, I advice you to get to know each other, then we will return with some interesting news,"

[Ghan]

"Wait Lin", Desmond commanded, " Why the hell am I here?" There was this strange aura coming from the other people in the room. He didn't like it one bit. "I'm out of here" he said walking towards the door.

[Tame]

'How are you feeling about this transfer?' Pleasance had asked Philip.

'Fine,' he said cheerfully and simply.

'Listen that girl over there - give her this sword afterwards, tell her it's from Melina; Toro and I will explain everything when Lin and all the students are present.' Pleasance nodded towards Ammy. Phil turned to look over at a cute girl wearing headphones.

'Will do,' Phil said, turning back to his instructor. He couldn't help but chuckle when the door flew off its hinges and hit Toro in the face. Lin Elric entered with some new kid.

'You are all esquires, Desmonde, being the exception, is a page,' Pleasance continued, 'We will leave you for a while, I advice you to get to know each other, then we will return with some interesting news.' It was then that Desmonde started kicking up some kind of fuss with Lin. Phil wondered what this "interesting news" Pleasance might have for them; she hadn't mentioned anything to him in their training session yesterday.

'Hey,' Phil said, turning to the girl with the headphones, trying to ignore the argument that was going on at the front of the room. 'Pleasance asked me to give you this,' he said and held out the sword his master had handed him.

[RaveDragon]

"This is my sword Wolfsbane," Ammy muttered staring at the nodachi the boy offered her, she recognised the keychains, one of a wolf and the other the kanji for hope so she would remember to never lose give up and keep moving forward, she smiled at the boy, some of her teeth were looking quite pointy," Thanks, about time they gave it back to me,"


xXx

"Oh no mister you're staying right here," Lin stopped Desmond and gave hime a warning glance as she left the room with the other teachers, "Be good little children and make friends kiddies,"

The or else tone she used warned the trainee exorcists not to leave the room.

"Should we put a big rock here so...?" Lin suggested looking at the doorless room.

"Lin..." Pleasance warned.

"Okay got it we'll be back they can kill each other~" lin grinned at her, "I hope~ You gave Philip Ammy's sword,"

"No one knows what Ammy is yet, she'll probably introduce herself, but i'd like some people to have some contact with her before they can judge, and I know Philip is a good kid," Pleasance explained.

Toro had already left her and Pleasance arriving at the teachers lounge to find his precious sweets only to find them all gone with just crumbs left in the pink box.
"MYYYY PRECIOUSSSS," he sobbed.

Lin and Pleasance sent there blessings to whoever ate those monstrous excuse for sweets having heard him from the corridor.


xXx

Meanwhile in class Ammy grumbled but laughed at Toro who she heard clearly and decided to start the introductions.

"Well, might as well make our own introductions," Ammy grinned at the class taking her headphones off her ears and letting them rest on her neck and shoulders, " I am Amaterasu Mdina daughter of Fenris, call me Ammy! This fox is some familiar my mother sent,"

'My name is Rouge,' the fox replied jumping on her shoulders, "And missy I AM your familiar by your mothers orders and will be!"

"Okay okay fine," Ammy said looking at the fox with annoyance, and yet stroked her head tenderly, "Pleased to meet you all,"

[Ghan]

Desmond, obviously terrified of Lin, stormed back to his seat and landed with a hard thud.

A girl stood up and introduced herself as Ammy. A small fox appeared on her shoulder and it talked. "What the hell...." , he whispered under his breath.

This mysterious circle was still on his hand and he didn't know what it was there for.

[shukketsumaru]

"A familiar that speaks to people other than its master? And this chick's an esquire?", Wilfred thought to himself. "And the guys seem to be just your typical angsty teens. A little madness should be all it takes to cleanse this moody atmosphere. Time to dial up the Scottish." Wilfred stands up. "Hellou everyboty. Maee naime is Wilfred Lass. Ywu can call me Will aund ywu can call me Fred. *drops the accent out ambivalence* But I prefer Wilfred. I'm also the youngest person here." He picks Chowdry off of the floor and presents him to the class. "And this is my tapir, Chowdry. Isn't he just the cutest most adorable creature that has ever walked on this planet." Wilfred proceeds to turn Chowdry around so that they're are face to face. Wilfred then gives Chowdry multiple eskimo kisses while muttering "Yes he is. Yes he is. Yes he is!"

And suddenly a miracle occured...every other person in the room thought the exact same thought at the exact same time..."Weirdo."

[Tame]

Phil had been sitting trying to come up with the funniest thing he could whilst the others began introducing himself, and as a result, little of what they had said besides their names had reached his ears. He couldn't help but notice the weirdo practically getting off with his familiar. That rather took the wind out of his sails. 'Hey, does he charge you for doing that?' he asked Wilfred dead-pan. Since he had started speaking, he decided he may as well introduce himself. 'I'm Phil Timnah,' he said, turning to include the others as well. 'Esquire. Pleasance, that's Miss Lacie to you guys, is my master.'

[Ghan]

Desmond growled lowly in the corner as his patience was running short. He didn't want to be here . There were talking animals, weirdos , and a circle on his palm that refused to come off. "Alright, that's it", Desmond said abruptly," I don't know who you all are and what those talking animals are but it's fucking freaking me out." Ignoring Lin's warning, Desmond charged out of the room wanting to get away from this freak show.

[shukketsumaru]

"Heeey!!" Wilfred called out to Desmond. "Did he really not know what was going on?", he asked; looking at his classmates for an answer. "Don't they know that teen angst mixed with supernatural powers is like tampering with weapons of mass destruction." Wilfred gets out of his seat, places his hands together, and starts walking toward the door. "I'll go bring him back." He begins chanting: Kō'ī bhī mujhē dūsarōṁ kē kalyāṇa kī unakī saṅkalpanā kē anusāra mēṁ khuśa hōnē kē li'ē majabūra hai, kē li'ē pratyēka..." all the way out the door. After a couple of moments of awkward silence, a small explosion rocks the hallway, a wave of dust flowing back into the classroom. "Awww man, I still can't get the hang of that Hindi scripture!", Wilfred echoed from the hall.

[Ghan]

Desmond was speeding down the hallway in a serious manner. He was going to get out of here ,go to a foster ho- BOOM!!!

The explosion sent Desmond running back into the classroom yelling at the top of his lungs. He jumped under the nearest desk and immediately began to pray that he makes it out alive. Memories of 9/11 began to flood back into his mind. His parents, the only people that liked him, we're gone. Along with thousands of other people. Desmond began to sob uncontrollaby

[RaveDragon]

"Ha," Ammy said putting her headphones and smiling with a feeling she would enjoy school this year, "Yeah nice to meet you all,"

Desmond didn't seem to agree as he made a run for it although Willard tried to stop him.

BOOM

It seemed it didn't go as Wilfred wanted and the hallway explosion made her snicker.

'I'll have you know young man that i am a familiar sent by the great demon priestess and overlord Fenris to keep an eye on her child Rouge told the panicky Desmond.

"OH God! they're really killing each other!" Lin facepalmed running towards the classroom with Pleasance and a still sobbing Toro and his pink box towards the classroom.

The teachers entered the classroom all dusty, Toro was coughing like there was no tomorrow and his pink box was now a pink dust box. They found Ammy snickering in a corner, with Phil sitting by her desk, Willard seemed to have a sheepish look on his face but hid it playing with his familiar Chowdry.
Desmond on the other hand had not stopped praying and rocking on the desk.

"Lin...did you perhaps forget to explain anything to Desmond," Pleasance smiled but an angry tick mark could be seen on her forehead

"Ahahaha i'll take care of that now! Completely forgot," Lin said nervously a guilty smile on her face.

She grabbed the boy and in a corner started explaining the world of an exorcist calmly and gently while the the class composed itself and with the gentle lead of Pleasance they restored the classroom some of its former neatness.

"This mark," Lin took Desmonds hand after allowing him some time to assimilate the information she had told him, "It makes you see demons, I don't know what capabilities it gives you, but you must be trained so not to hurt people understand?"

POOF

A cloud of green smoke exploded in the room sending the present in a fit of coughs and revealing as it ebbed the headmistress smiling. A few set of sharp teeth could be seen and her pointed ears warned the students she was not to be toyed it.

"Welcome welcome to true cross academy new students ad old," Melina nodded to Desmond and the others, "It is nice to see the special class is ready for their first training assignment,"

"Huh?" Ammy said confused taking her headphones off again. Her Wolfsbane was now tied to her belt. Rouge was sitting comfortably on her shoulder.

"We haven't told them yet headmistress," Pleasance sighed.

[Tame]

When Desmond had run out of the room Phil was perfectly content to let him go, but Wilfred went after him and began chanting. 'Must be an Aria-in-training too,' he thought with mild interest. Then he heard an explosion and felt a sense of grim satisfaction at seeing his new classmate fail. Desmond had then come running back in and had thrown himself under the nearest desk. Phil couldn't tell if the guy was joking or deadly serious, nor which of the two was the more annoying.

Luckily the instructors returned and began straightening eveything out; as Pleasance directed them in neatening up the classroom Phil caught tidbits of what Lin was saying to the frightened boy. It sounded like she was explaining the concepts of exorcists and demons to him. 'Weird that he should come here without knowing any of that stuff, Phil thought.

POOF

A cloud of green smoke exploded in the room sending the present in a fit of coughs and revealing as it ebbed the headmistress smiling. A few set of sharp teeth could be seen and her pointed ears warned the students she was not to be toyed it.

'Welcome welcome to True Cross Academy new students and old,' Melina nodded to Desmond and the others, 'It is nice to see the special class is ready for their first training assignment.'

'Huh?' Ammy said confused taking her headphones off again.

'We haven't told them yet headmistress,' Pleasance sighed.

'Training Assignment? Sweet,' Phil said. He much preferred fieldwork to sitting in class all day. Then again, field training with these guys? Could be... Well, it could be a lot of things. Fun (probably not), dull (hopefully not), tedious and frustrating (quite possibly).

[Ghan]

On seeing Lin, Desmond immediately began to wipe the tears from his face. She couldn't see him like this.

Lin came and pulled him in the corner. She began to explain about exorcists and demons and how they were all connected. Then she told him about the mark on his hand and how it allowed him to see demons.It all started to make sense now.

He was dead. This is a test to get in heaven. Somebody probably murdered him in his sleep. Yep, that was most definetely it. He was going to play along for the time being.

A big cloud of green smoke appeared in the room along with a woman with pointy ears. She said something about a training assignment.

Desmond didn't want any part of this.

[shukketsumaru]

"A training mission, already?" Wilfred thought to himself. "Well, it is Melina Chaos after all." Wilfred looks from classmate to classmate and sighs. "I'm going to have to tie someone up, I just know it."

[RaveDragon]

Arc One: The Eiffel Tower's Soul

"Oh well then if you don't mind I'll explain, I hope you kiddies like outings and planes because we are going to FRANCE!" Melina clapped but didn't wait for any response.

Pleasance shrugged knowing fully well Melina had taken the stage and there was no stopping her, Lin had a soothing hand on Desmond shoulder who was now back in the group and seemed somewhat relaxed.

"The flight is tomorrow morning at 8.00am be at the schools gates at 5.00am, no complaints whoever is late will be left behind~" Melina said and clapped her hands, suddenly an image floated in front of them. it was a 3D image of the eiffel tower.

http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTPV6vQHWP_eAjF5xNJhRciiDnO3GYMh_AGnintJlYbCyiOS5wmMg

"Your mission is to defend the eiffel tower from some small fry demons that have been attacking it since two days ago, I thought it would be good training as well as very cultural for some of you," Melina grinned, "Lin and Pleasance will be the instructor who will be coming with you, oh and Ammy you're in charge of the group when Lin isn't available,"

"Thank the gods," Toro mumbled throwing away his box as Chowdry giggled from behind his back with Wilfred smirking.

"WHAT?" the girl fumed, blushing slightly at the fact she was being trusted with such responsibility.

"You are the only one who is surely above esquire level and dependable, you've done pretty well in your doctor and knight examinations, plus you got a familiar now~" Melina said appearing in front of her and tapping Ammy's forehead, "A great opportunity to get at least a credit from those 3 you need to officially get the higher rank~"

The girl rubbed the spot and sighing with a glance to rouge she nodded earning a smile from the fox.

"Calm down girlie I'll make sure I'm stuck to you guys like glue!" Lin laughed heartily. Everyone was sure she wasn't kidding.

"Fine," Ammy grumbled.

Lin took over the explanation, "We will be rooming at the Shangri la hotel, 600 metres from the tower, the boys will have a room and the Ammy, Pleasance and I will have another, make sure you get along with the french exorcists! When we get there we will get a report on the situation,"

"Stay sharp my pupils," Melina grinned disappearing in a puff of smoke.


xXx

The following morning at exactly 4.45am, a white Van was waiting for the young exorcist to take them to the nearest airport; the London City Airport, where a plane specifically waiting for them was being prepared.

Lin was sleeping soundly, snoring softly in the passenger seat next to the driver, Pleasance was leaning on the door by the driver side of the van and was obviously going to drive.

"Good morning, Amaterasu! You're early, and I see you've warmed up to Rouge," Pleasance greeted the girl who was atop a nine tailed fox resembling Rouge albeit larger with sharp talons.

"She follows me everywhere, if you can't beat them let them join you~" Ammy was now smiling, the two had obviously bonded in the night. Rouge turned back to her smaller form and sat on Ammy's shoulder.

The trio waited for the other students to arrive.

[Ghan]

Desmond approached the van in a black t-shirt with jeans and a Nike duffel bag.Obnoxiously, he started to bang on the door until he got a response. "Hellllooooo", he shouted as he continued banging.

[Tame]

'Hey, stop with the noise...' muttered a voice from behind Desmond. It was Phil, dragging his feet and looking half dead. 'Why...? Why do we have to be up at this ungoldy hour?' There were huge bags under his eyes and he looked like he was on the verge of falling asleep, which he was. They were going to France. Phil did not like France. He did not like French people. He had seen enough of Paris for the idyllic, romantic version of it so many uninitiated people had in their heads to be shattered. He had not seen enough of it to form any unbiased opinion of it, but what the hell? He was fine with his biased opinion. 'Pleasance...' he said, approaching his master. 'Why are you doing this to us? Have we done something to upset you? Is this because of that joke I made about your cooking last week?'

[shukketsumaru]

Barreling down the walkway with Chowdry nested on his carry-on, Wilfred joins his fellow classmates with an ear to ear smile; an obvious morning person. WOHOO! I've never left Britain, so I'm super excited for this!", he shouted. "And of all places Paris, France. Home to some of the most sinfull sweets on the planet!!" He seems to settle down with drool starting to leak from his both, but he leaps up again, "Teacher! After the mission, can we take the Eurostar home instead of just flying back?"

[RaveDragon]

"Hellllooooo", he shouted as he continued banging.

'Hey, stop with the noise...' muttered a voice from behind Desmond.

"I suggest you listen to your friend," Lin hissed grabbing Desmond from the collar through the vans window.

"Those two sure aren't morning people~" Ammy snickered.

"Let the humans sleep kid, we're don't all have superpowers!" Lin grumbled.

'Pleasance...' Philip said, approaching his master. 'Why are you doing this to us? Have we done something to upset you? Is this because of that joke I made about your cooking last week?'

"Maybe~" Pleasance giggled getting into the driver seat and then paused as if thinking hard about something, "Was my lasagna that horrible...?"

Wilfred was the last to arrive with his familiar Chowdry, Ammy raised a brow as the boy seemed to drool daydreaming about who knows what, he seemed to come back to the real world though as he jumped by the driver's window and asked, "Teacher! After the mission, can we take the Eurostar home instead of just flying back?"

Lin's eyes started to sparkle and she gave Pleasance the puppy eye look. It seemed she liked the idea.

"Lin, we're not going on vacation, this is a training asignment," Pleasance groaned.

"But what if we behave and do well enough," Ammy asked hiding her own excitement at the idea of traveling on the train, "Thats the train that goes under the sea right?"

Pleasance reluctantly agreed, "Fine but only if you all behave and we complete the mission!"

"YES it wil take longer to get back with the train meaning LESS TORO!!" Lin fist pumped.

"Get in kids," Pleasance smiled liking the idea of not delaying seeing the man

With that everyone got in the van and Pleasance drove them to the airport with Lin snoring in the seat next to her and the rest attempting small talk.


xXx

The group arrived at London City Airport at 6.15am with traffic that seemed to have followed them everywhere. Pleasance wore down the poor van's horn.

Lin the boys checked in while the Ammy and Pleasance looked for their Planes gate, it was number 25 to Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport. Lin came back a little bit confused.

"The check in chick was all flustered and saying we should hurry, i wonder...oh no," she said and shoved the tickets in Pleasance face whose colour drained.

"Boarding 6.45am leaving 7.00!!! Melina confused the time again!! RUN!!" Pleasance sucked in a deep breath and lead the way.

" O GATE 25!" Lin cried right behind her colleague.

"ROUGE! Get on everyone!" Ammy said as Rouge took on her larger form and Ammy helped on anyone who needed a lift.

'I can transport up to 4 or 5 people' Rouge said running behind Pleasance who was very agile.

"You're so lazy that's cheating!" someone called behind her.

get to gate 25 quick (my next post will be in paris we will get to the hotel and we will get a report)

[Tame]

'Y'know being on the Eurostar's no different from being a regular train, right?' grumbled Phil as he climbed into the back of the van and tired to get some shut-eye. Thanks to Plesance's almost constant beeping, however, he failed to sleep at all.

xXx

'ROUGE! Get on, everyone!' Ammy said as Rouge took on her larger form and Ammy helped on anyone who needed a lift. Phil, who was still a little tired and grouchy, nevertheless jumped on the fox's back.

'Stupid question, I know, but are we okay to fly carrying swords?' he asked the group, holding up his Vorpal Sword to illustrate.

[shukketsumaru]

"I'll go on foot", said Wilfred, picking up his pace. "I can't even ride a saddled horse while trotting let alone bareback on a sprinting fox.", he mused as he closed the distance between himself and Pleasance.

[Ghan]

Desmond had no choice but to hop on Rogue as she increased in size. He was one of the first people to hop on because he refused to be left behind.

[RaveDragon]

The group arrived just in time tossing their tickets to the stupefied attendants as they stared at Rouge but they noticed the ticket was specifically for exorcists who had a compartment specifically for them. They arrived in their seats happy to have the space just for them and were being served even better than in first class. The students were in awe figuring exorcist were really important people.


xXx

They arrived at the hotel with no further delays exactly at 9.16am. The exorcists checked in the shangri la hotel, an amazing five star hotel luxurious beyond their dreams. The hotel even allowed pets not even casting a glance at Rouge and Chowdry.

"Okay Lin will take the boys and their luggage in room 153," Pleasance said handing each boy his own set of key for the room, "Ammy, Rouge and I will be in room 154 arranging our own luggage and Lin's, yes we'll take yours as well~"

Pleasance hand was on Ammy's shoulder telling her that she would not be allowed out of lin's or pleasance's sight at all costs.

"Okay we must be back here to meet with Francious Duvre in exactly an hour, do what you have to do but be here for the report," Lin added and took on a a heavy and terrible french accent as she uttered her next words, " Be in the lounge at 10.30 or i will have your skins, that's Duvre for us,"

[Tame]

Phil was finally feeling a little more chirpy thanks to the incredible service they had been shown on the flight over. Remembering a certain film set in Paris, he began to sing as he and the other guys headed upstairs and into their room; 'You talk like Marlene Dietrich, And you dance like Zizi Jenmaire...'

He nabbed the bed by the window and dropped his bag onto it. 'Hey guys, I suppose if we're going to be working together we should get to know each others strengths and weaknesses and so on. I'm hoping to become an Aria and a Knight; what type of Meister are the two of you hoping to become?'

[Ghan]

Desmond was shouting all kinds of stuff as he entered the hotel. "Woahhh, look at that chandelier", "Is that a restaurant?", "How can we afford this?", "Let's forget about the mission and stay here forever."

Desmond entered his hotel room and hopped in the first bed closest to the door.

His roommate , Philip, said something about an Aria and Knight.

"What are those", Desmond asked

[Tame]

'Huh? No one told you about them?' Philip was surprised how little Desmond had been told about being an Exorcist. 'Well,' he said, beginning his explanation (he liked doing stuff like this), 'When you become a full-fledged Exorcist, you have to qualify in the rank of "Meister" in at least one of five different types. Each type aids in fighting demons in different ways.' He began counting them off on his fingers as he described them. 'Knights use swords, Dragoons use guns and other firearms. Arias use verbal spells, usually verses from holy scriptures, sutras and the like. Tamers summon familiars to help them battle. Finally Doctors keep their allies good and healthy. That all make sense?' Phil finished, pleased with his own explanation. 'Anything I've missed out?' he asked, looking to Wilfred.

[shukketsumaru]

Wilfred, sitting on his bed meditating with Chowdry in his lap, opens one eye in Phillip's direction. "That's about it." he said. "And as I'm sure you've guessed from by botched incantation back in the classroom, I'm an aria."

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------

"By the way, that particular spell was supposed to be a binding incantation derived from a Hindu scripture regarding the necessity of community. But, I just started learning Hindi, so I accidentally evoked an essence of "bow to me or suffer" and it blew up in my face." He turns to Desmond, "Sorry if I scared you with that, man."

[RaveDragon]

Desmond was shouting all kinds of stuff as he entered the hotel. "Woahhh, look at that chandelier", "Is that a restaurant?", "How can we afford this?", "Let's forget about the mission and stay here forever."

"As much as I like the sound of that kid, an exorcists duty is more important, and we need to find out what you can do..." Lin said letting Phil take over the explanation.

Lin smiled as she leaned by door letting the boys get to know each other.

"Yo guys!" Ammy shouted, "Pleasance ordered me to make friends with you so here I am, she said we have to be down in 10,"

Lin jumped a little bit at the voice as the girl popped into the room. She had a habit of evading detection.

"That was a very good explanation Phil," Lin complimented the boy and looked at Desmond, "Don't worry, I'll stick to you and help you with everything kid, you're under my protection"

"By the way, that particular spell was supposed to be a binding incantation derived from a Hindu scripture regarding the necessity of community. But, I just started learning Hindi, so I accidentally evoked an essence of "bow to me or suffer" and it blew up in my face." He turns to Desmond, "Sorry if I scared you with that, man."

"You need some pratice kid, as Pleasance about it, you might have missed a word," Lin adviced.

"Oh come on that explosion was fun, did you see Toro's face," Ammy grinned.

'It was a little bit too dusty for my liking,' Rouge snorted sitting on her shoulder.

[Ghan]

Desmond's eyes widened when Philip told him about a Dragoon. He could imagine his self firing thousands of bullets and killing demons.


"Woahhh, Dude, how can I become a Dragoon", Desmond asked eagerly.

[RaveDragon]

"Woahhh, Dude, how can I become a Dragoon", Desmond asked eagerly.

Ammy raised a brow at Lin who grinned sheepishly, she obviously kept forgetting to tell the boy some important stuff.

"You become an esquire first then apply for the meister post you would like and take the examination," Rouge jumped in.

"There are 5 specialties, as Phil said Aria the chanters of the fatal verse of a demon, dragoon the long range fighters, doctor the medical support, knight who specialise in sword, you can choose one or more after you reach esquire level," Lin continued.

"I just took the doctor and knight examination this summer although due to my ...special circumstance i have to get three credits before i can officially be appointed he rank," Ammy told them.

"Are you ready boys?" Lin said, "we should meet Pleasance and Francoius in the foyer where they will take us to the french hq near the eiffel tower,"

[Tame]

'That was a very good explanation Phil,' Lin complimented the boy.

'Knowledge is power, right?' Phil said, shrugging. It was pretty basic stuff; every Page and Esquire knew the five Meister types. The others carried on talking a little. Phil listened, smiling throughout.

After a bit, Lin asled, 'Are you ready, boys? We should meet Pleasance and Francoius in the foyer where they will take us to the french hq near the eiffel tower.'

'Ready when you are!' Phil said, enthusiastically. He was ready to do Exorcist's work. He hopped up off his bed and grabbed his sword. 'Let's go!'

[Ghan]

After a bit, Lin asked, 'Are you ready, boys? We should meet Pleasance and Francoius in the foyer where they will take us to the french hq near the eiffel tower.'

"I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to do. But whatever happens, Lin I'm staying near you"

[shukketsumaru]

"Are you ready boys?" Lin said, "we should meet Pleasance and Francoius in the foyer where they will take us to the french hq near the eiffel tower."

"Okay.", Wilfred said as he got up to stretch his legs.

[RaveDragon]

The boys followed Ammy and Lin until they reached the Foyer where Pleasance was talking to a tall, handsome and yet snobby looking young man, they could hear his thick french accent but his english was understandable. He was wearing the standard exorcist uniform, had short sandy hair and green eyes. He eyed Ammy and then pleasance who seemed to glare slightly at him.

The exorcist turned and stood in front of the girl with an apologetic smile and suddenly put a color on her.

"Sorry kid this collar will help us..control that part of you and track you," Pleasance gave her an apologetic smile, she threw a few bracelets to each member, "Keep these on at all times, they have a gps tracking system so we will know your location at all times and with them we will be able to communicate at all times.

Ammy groaned giving the adults an 'are you serious' look and tugged at the collar which made her feel like some pet.

"yay,' she said without any enthusiasm.

"Francious Duvre, will take us immediately to the hq and explain our assignment along the way," Pleasance nodded at the man and they followed him to a large black SUV.

When they all had settled in the car he began his explanation.

"Your mission is to take the soul orb to the top of the tower getting rid of the small fry demons and restore power to the eiffel tower," Francious said simply, "i'm sure you can at least do that,"

He pronounced all his c's and s's as z asking to be made fun off. He didn't seem very keen on the english branch being there either.

Ammy made a face at the boys and lip synced the man and whispered in a thick french accent, "Andz zee mi handzome and prout zo i zon't like you,"

"The eiffel tower is an Observation tower and Radio broadcasting tower barrier system," the french man continued honking a few times at the traffic. Thanks to insignia of the exorcist the cars and vehicles were letting them pass quickly but sometimes they would not notice or rather refused to move for them.

"What you don't know it that it is also a barrier from demons protecting all of France," Pleasance added.

"It is the grandeur of exorcist, i bet you didn't know Gustav Eiffel the designer and builder of the monument was an exorcist," Lin grinned at the students.

"he was a chancellor and a very talented Aria, when he died he chanted his own unique barrier, he sent his soul into the eiffel tower and created this barrier, it greatly weakens possessions and possibilities of them happening and demonic power," Pleasance explained and glanced at Ammy who shrugged.

"And that is why we must replenish it's strength once every ten years or so, we were supposed to replenish it a few months ago but we missed the mark due to problems in Japan branch," Francious continued.

"What is this soul orb anyway?" Ammy asked.

"it is the prayers of the strongest french exorcists in an glass orb, their feelings and hope, their very being and soul," Franciuos answered dramatically, "It must be done now or never, the soul of the great gustav has weakened greatly, we don't have much exorcist because of Gustav we never needed a lot, but now all of the french branch is scattered around france fending of rising demons, Melina Chaos offered us help, but to send us children, bah,"

Right then the exorcists arrived at the foot of the eiffel tower, the few french exorcists that remained in paris had set their hq in the champ de mars in front of the tower a glass orb with swirling purple mist sat on one table in a transparent protective casing.

"Let us talk tactis, and then your mission begins," Francious said leading them to the table.

[Tame]

'That's messed up,' Phil commented as the French exorcist made Ammy wear some kind of collar.



In the van, he sat quietly and listened to everything Lin, Pleasance and Francious said. Phil was deeply impressed by Gustav Eiffel's incredible power and resolve - a barrier protecting all of France! It was amazing!

As they got out of the van, Phillooked around at the picturesque quality of the Champ de Mar. He also wondered if he'd see any of the Segway gangs he'd seen last time he was in Paris. Oh yes, there was one now. 'Damn, wish I could ride one of those things...' His thoughts were interrupted by Francious speaking.

'Let us talk tactis, and then your mission begins,' he said, leading them to a table on which sat a glass orb with swirling purple mist in a transparent case.

'Are the four of us going up alone?' Phil asked Pleasance, 'Or are you coming with us?'

'If it's the four of us, then I'd have one of the familiars carry the orb in the middle of the group, surrounded by the rest of us for protection - me and Ammy up front, Wilfred and Desmond behind. Should I suggest it?'

[Ghan]

" You guys have demonic powers and can't even keep up with a couple of kids", Desmond said under his breath.

While everyone was talking, he was slowly dozing off in the corner. He hated boring stuff that made him sleepy. The van pulled over and came to a stop. With bloodshot eyes, he barely could see anything.

"Here's a tactic for you", Desmond said "Why don't we just nuke the whole thing!!"

[RaveDragon]

'That's messed up,' Phil commented as the French exorcist made Ammy wear some kind of collar.

"It's necessary if i want a semi normal life," Ammy said clarly annoyed by the thing, "They don't trust my nature,"

" You guys have demonic powers and can't even keep up with a couple of kids", Desmond said under his breath.

Ammy snorted holding back the giggles but unfortunately Francious also heard him, "The girl is the only one with demonic powers as i recall exorcists use holy tools in the holy fight to defeat demons,"

The group could only stare at the guy dumbfounded. Ammy however was not above glaring and kicking his seat.


"Here's a tactic for you", Desmond said "Why don't we just nuke the whole thing!!"

Lin smiled at the boy placing a comforting hand on his shoulder, "I promise it will soon become clear and you'll know what you need to do,"

'Are the four of us going up alone?' Phil asked Pleasance, 'Or are you coming with us?'

"it is a training assignment, that is why we gave you the bracelets so if anything happens we will be right there," Pleasance responded.

"We will give you instructions through them, that is why you can't lose them, and keep an eye on Desmond," Lin ordered.

"So students what do you think our best strategy would be?" Pleasance said and saw Phils eager twinkle, "Phil?"

'If it's the four of us, then I'd have one of the familiars carry the orb in the middle of the group, surrounded by the rest of us for protection - me and Ammy up front, Wilfred and Desmond behind," the by responded happy he could suggest.

"Yes but Desmond is inexperienced so should another familiar have his back?" Ammy looked at Wilfred.

'I don't mind as long as I am useful to Ammy-sama,' Rouge transmitted in their minds sitting by the girls feet.


xXx

Atop the Eiffel tower a dark shadow grinned. It was a great beast who had taken possession of a great dane twisting its features, instead of the usual crocodile head the demon had the dogs long snout. A smoke like black mane with a body that was part lion, hippopotamus and dog taking the place of the usual crocodile in the myths.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/60/Ammit.svg/190px-Ammit.svg.png

"Splendid, the barrier will soon weaken and Gustav's soul will be mine, France shall be the domain of the new demon overlor, Amiit king of souls!"

Drool was falling from its muzzle in anticipation of his feast.

Behind the creature were many transparent figures of every shape, size and forms waiting for their masters order.

[Ghan]

"It sounds easy enough". He said as he turned towards Lin. This was the moment he had been waiting for. He knew he had to fulfill his destiny that was going to make him the most badass motherfucker that ever lived.

Stretching his hands toward Lin, he said "I'm ready to receive my magical weapon"

[RaveDragon]

Lin hit the boy on the head, "You're no knight kid, but maybe...how's this?"

Desmond received a gun from his mentor and some holy bullets complete with belt where to hold them.

"Listen kid, trust your team and listen to your heart, if need be i'll be by your side before you can say my name, I;m your mentor after all," Lin told him.

[shukketsumaru]

"I'll erect a simple barrier to keep anything but fire and water demons at bay." Wilfred said. "It's all I've got, so watch my back."

[Ghan]

Desmond was at a lost for words. He couldn't believe he was getting his very own gun . The bullets looked even more awesome as he received them along with a belt.

"Listen kid, trust your team and listen to your heart, if need be i'll be by your side before you can say my name, I;m your mentor after all," Lin told him.

"I already do trust them and thanks even though you are not a very good one," he added with a laugh.

[RaveDragon]

"I'll erect a simple barrier to keep anything but fire and water demons at bay." Wilfred said. "It's all I've got, so watch my back."

"it won't explode this time right?" Ammy asked as their instructors took them to the stair, they had been told the elevators were dangerous if demons got to them.

"I already do trust them and thanks even though you are not a very good one," he added with a laugh.
"what's that supposed to mean," lin said hitting him lightly n the head.

(ooc: This might be not true but bear with me)

the stairs were wide and perfect for any battle that might occur. The group regrouped as Phil suggested with Ammy na phil on the front Wilfred and Desmond on the back, with the enlarged Rogue carrying the glass orb in her mouth, Chowdry was watching the boys backs from behind.

the young exorcist set of on their mission as their instructors wished them luck.

[shukketsumaru]

As the group reached the third flight of stairs Wilfred turned to Chowdry. "Chowdry, put out a light blanket of smoke so we can observe the air flow. It'll make detecting potential enemies easier. Is that all right with you guys?", he asked.

[Ghan]

"I'm fine with it, but it make it quick" Desmond responded. His heart was beating a 100 mph, and his blood was racing through his body. Sweat dropped down from his face as his fingers were near the trigger. The pistol was pointed straight ahead.

[shukketsumaru]

"...the Page seems a bit high strung.", Wilfred thought to himself. "Alright Chowdry, start blowing smoke.", he commanded. Chowdry complies by producing a light but steady stream of purple haze, emanating in all directions. "Good, now I'll be ready to form a barrier if need be."

[Tame]

'Right, ready to rumble,' Phil said, drawing his sword. 'Can you take this?' he asked Pleasance, offering the sheathe to her. 'No point in carrying any unnecessary weight. And it's not like I'm gonna need to put this baby away, right?' he said, indicating the Vorpal Sword.

'Hey Ammy, you're a Doctor, right?' he said, gripping his sword in both hands and looking over at the girl. 'I should stay in front; it's more important that you stay safe than me.' Then he remembered his hat; he pulled it from his head and threw it to Pleasance. 'Don't need that falling over my eyes, either.'

[RaveDragon]

'Right, ready to rumble,' Phil said, drawing his sword. 'Can you take this?' he asked Pleasance, offering the sheathe to her. 'No point in carrying any unnecessary weight. And it's not like I'm gonna need to put this baby away, right?' he said, indicating the Vorpal Sword.

"Are you sure? You should always be prepared for battle in any occasion?" Pleasance said letting the boy decide, "The hat I can hold on to if for you,"

'Hey Ammy, you're a Doctor, right?' he said, gripping his sword in both hands and looking over at the girl. 'I should stay in front; it's more important that you stay safe than me.' Then he remembered his hat; he pulled it from his head and threw it to Pleasance. 'Don't need that falling over my eyes, either.'

" Yep, but erm if you want but I have a tendency to heal fast so it doesn't really matter," Ammy's eye shifted nervously, she had a feeling the biys had not grasped her true nature, she hoped she would not have to take of her sealing bracelet and tugged at the collar in her neck. That thing was going to be distracting and annoying.

Chowdry's light smoke made the small coal tar demons and some low level ones appear. Rouge growled at the sight.The group knew (Thank you wikia) that here are two types of Coal Tar. One kind is fairly harmless, only floating around in the air. This type had oval-shaped green eyes and slightly open, downward curved mouths. The other type appears to be more sinister. These have slanted violet eyes and evil smiles. These particular ones just floated around ignoring them.
However behind them were several goblins and ghouls.

"Let the coal tars be they're harmless get the others!" Ammy said stretching out her hand and moving it downwards. The eiffel tower seemed to moan and then a part of the metal shot out like daggers dissolving three golems and two ghouls into nothingness. Some demons which were nicked seemed to growl in agony.

[Tame]

'Yep, but erm if you want but I have a tendency to heal fast so it doesn't really matter.' Ammy's eye shifted nervously.

'Yeah, but not in the middle of battle, right?' said Phil, having no idea what the girl really meant.

As they started up the stairs, Phil didn't stop to question how Ammy had caused metal to fly from the framework of the tower, but he was impressed. He followed her towards the throng of demons and swung the Vorpal Sword at the first ghoul that approached them.

[RaveDragon]

'Yeah, but not in the middle of battle, right?' said Phil, having no idea what the girl really meant.

"You would be surprised," Ammy laughed nervously.

Phil swung his ghoul right through the ghoul which disintegrated but a goblin was right behind it ready to pounce him his teeth set for Phil's throat. Some ghouls and goblins had ignored the two in front and went for the Wilfred and Desmond at the back. Rogue impaled a few using her firefox infused nine tails but had to keep the glass orb idangling from her mouth safe and some demons pounced on the boys at the back.

[Ghan]

"Let the coal tars be they're harmless get the others!" Ammy said stretching out her hand and moving it downwards. The eiffel tower seemed to moan and then a part of the metal shot out like daggers dissolving three golems and two ghouls into nothingness. Some demons which were nicked seemed to growl in agony.

"Woahhhh", Desmond said in amazement. Ammy had controlled actual metal and killed a demon. "Do it again, I want to see it some more", he applauded. But before he knew it, some demons had set their sights on him and were coming his way.

Knowing he was doing it all wrong, Desmond aimed the weapon the most unprofessional way possible. "Don't worry guys, I have seen every James Bond movie there is and have personally trained with a NERF gun using the neighbor's cat."

Desmond's finger squeezed the trigger and a load of pain shot up his arm."Did I get one?" he asked Wilfred

[RaveDragon]

Ammy jumped as the bullet soared right past her to hit the ghoul that had launched at her right in the eyes.

"thanks Desmond," she giggled nervously and waved her arm, some metal shurikens came out of nowhere materialising and shot straight at some goblins and ghoauls in front of desmond.

"This place is just made to be my battle ground~" she smirked looking back forward.

The party advanced slightly getting rid of the demons.

[Tame]

Swinging his sword again, Phil aimed to kill the goblin that was jumping towards him.

'Damnit, there are already so many of them!' he exclaimed, looking round to see where the next one would be coming from. 'We've got to stop outselves getting bogged down here.'

[RaveDragon]

"We'll soon be at the first floor," Ammy said cheering the team, when a sudden chill ran down her spine and sinking her swrd in the goblin launching for phil, "Just some teamwork~"


xXx

"I think it is time for us to participate, my four soul generals go have some fun~" Ammit said landing heavily on the top of the tower and working his way into the barrier. The soul of gustav was right there at the top. This meant it would take a demon like him some time to enter from there until then his four generals
would dispose of the exorcists before they could restore the strenght of the soul. The four ghosts seemed to shiver some wearing smirkes others trying to get rid of the compulsion the demon had on them but they all set off to meet the four exorcists.


xXx

Meanwhile at the hq tent Pleasane and Lin were helping get rid of the demons that had suddenly appeared a visible sign of the weakening of Gistav eiffel's barrier.

"Dammit Pleasance whats Ammit doing here," Lin cursed as she saw the figure descending on the tower.

"i don;t know but we have to get to the kids!" she responded angrily swinging her sword and taking down numerous demons easily but more kept on coming.

"that is impossible," the french man exclaimed, "we are doomed, we cannot get to them,"

"no we are not we just have to believe in those kids," Lin said shooting down dozens of goblins.

I have no idea how many levels there are in the eiffel tower but for convenience sake, there are 4, the top were ammit is making his way in, the other four were the generals will be stationed, we can have one on one battles as the rest advance, for desmond he can stick to ammy until he is self sufficient =P you will battle with her on the 3rd floor 2 vs 2 plus rouge

[shukketsumaru]

As the chaotic battle continues, Wilfred thought to himself, "My Tarian o Sanctaiid Fflam would have repelled all of these small fry and we wouldn't have needed to waste time fighting them off." "Oh well", he said. Wilfred places his hands together and chants:

"The earth dries up and withers, the world languished and
withers, the exalted of the earth languish. The earth lies under its inhabitants;
for they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, and broken the
everlasting covenant. Therefore a curse consumes the earth; its people must
bear their guilt."

At that moment, each goblin within earshot violently exploded into dust.

"That about all I can do for now." Wilfred lamented. "There are too many varieties of ghoul here for me to bother reciting the Book of John."

[RaveDragon]

"That was brilliant Wilfred, thank you," Ammy called back as with his chant they managed to break into the first floor, the demons seemed to shudder and did not follow them, the presence Ammy felt before seemed to repel them or worse scare them.

In front of the group four ghost like creatures

"They are ghosts trapped under Ammits the soul eaters control, I can feel their master trying to come in, but above us the barrier is still too strong," Rouge wizened them.

"We are the four generals, ghosts under Ammit-sama come to kill you~" a cat like boy no older than twenty purred at them, "My name Marion Soul, I'm glad this shitty demon got me the opportunity to butcher some exorcist asses,"

'Indeed it will be quite fun to experiment on you with my poison, I am Dunya Koro the poson master," a man in his forties grinned psychotically.

the other two were grimm and sorrowful, they were awfully familiar to the

"I am Nico Duvre, I hope you can stop us," the woman of the group said.

"I am Peter Duvre, please save the tower," the man who was obviously her sibling pleaded.

"Then who shall be my opponent?" the poison master cackled as the other ghosts vanished to the above stories.

[shukketsumaru]

"That'll be me.", Wilfred exclaimed as he stepped forward with his hands together.
"If you're the first mini-boss that makes you the weakest.", he taunted.
"Also", Wilfred thought to himself, "if you're a poison user, I have the advantage of experience thanks to my foster dad. And what kind of dumbass gloats to his enemy about his strategies and methods!?"
"Everyone, please move on ahead", he said.

[Ghan]

" I'm pretty sure we can kick these guys asses" Desmond stated. He felt unstoppable with this gun in his hand. With a clear mind and a brave heart, he was ready for anything.

[Tame]

Sword held out before him steadily, ready to defend or attack at a moment's notice, Phil watched, frowning, the four ghouls introduce themselves.

'Are you sure you're okay by yourself?' he asked Wilfred, who volunteered to be the opponent of the first ghoul. 'Exorcists are meant to act as a team - why not work together to beat him and then move on as a group?' The answer was already inside his own mind though; the longer they spent dawdling, the more time they wasted. If the rest of them could get past, then leaving one person to hold off the opponent was the right thing to do.

[RaveDragon]

"No keep on going," a voice from their bracelet ordered. It could be recognised as Lin's voice.

"Ammit, the soul eater want Gustav's soul, if he devours it, then we have lost France to the demons," Pleasance voice could be heard.

They seemed to be struggling against something, most probably the enemy.

"Let's go then, kick his ass Wilfred," Ammy said as the team kept on going. The ghost of the poison master smirked allowing them to move on.

The team composed of Ammy, Phil, Desmond and Rouge encountered more ghouls and goblins when they entered the stairs. They wondered why they would be so scared of the four general and prayed that they would succeed.


xXx
The poison master glared at Wilfred, "I was a genious and your petty order got rid of me because I was too 'instable' they said, i'll show them by presenting the fool your corpse!"

With that the man uncovered his sleeves and shot needles at Wilfred, undoubtedly poisoned.

[shukketsumaru]

Wilfred side steps the barrage of needles. "Is that it?", he scoffed. "Can't you do something cooler, like produce poison dust or slime."
"On the other hand", he thought. "Poison needles are quick long range weapons which would normally be bad for me, but..."

"GOFANNON! Place your forge before me, so that I may purge this evil world!"

A ring of fire violently ignites around Wilfred and Chowdry. "We're going with the bakery strategy Chowdry, so get ready."
Chowdry nods with a grunt and starts holding his breath.

[RaveDragon]

Wilfred side steps the barrage of needles. "Is that it?", he scoffed. "Can't you do something cooler, like produce poison dust or slime."

I'm a mere soul you idiotic child, unlike you I CAN play with you as much as i won't with no fear~" Dunya smirked his face contorted in an ugly sort of happiness, "no one to stop me or call me a shame to scientists and exorcists~"

"GOFANNON! Place your forge before me, so that I may purge this evil world!"

A ring of fire violently ignites around Wilfred and Chowdry. "We're going with the bakery strategy Chowdry, so get ready."
Chowdry nods with a grunt and starts holding his breath.

Dunya however did not seem perturbed by the flames, "i'm dead already young man, i don't feel pain,"

Dunya jumped across the flames and opened his jacket to reveal some crossbows, the arrows that shot from them seemed to have some gooey purple substance with them. What wilfred did not fail to notice was however that Dunya's body had become paler than before his stunt. This meant he could be defeated even though he did not feel pain.

[shukketsumaru]

Dunya jumped across the flames and opened his jacket to reveal some crossbows, the arrows that shot from them seemed to have some gooey purple substance with them. What wilfred did not fail to notice was however that Dunya's body had become paler than before his stunt. This meant he could be defeated even though he did not feel pain.

"Sanctaidd tan penhwyad!" ,Wilfred shouted. And at this command two pikes of fire burst from the circle of flames, flinging Dunyad away and pinning him through both arms. However, he simply grinned and tore his arms from the pikes, making Wilfred cringe with disgust. He retrieves his crossbow and fires at Wilfred mutliple times. Wilfred manages to dodge most of them but gets grazed by a few. It was more than enough, as a light twinge started to emanate from the grazed areas. Wilfred cast a glance at Chowdry, who was still holding its breath and starting to swell up. "Almost there.", he thought.

Dunyan let loose another wave of arrows coupled with a barrage of needles.
"Aderyn y to ergyd.", Wilfred whispered. Several fiery sparks shot out from the ring of fire and blasted the arrows and some of the needles away. Some of the needles got through, however and became lodged in Wilfred's legs and righ arm. He merely winces at the pain, but inevitably collapses to his his knees. At this point, Chowdry has inflated so large that Dunyan has finally noticed him. He smiles an evil grin and aims for Chowdry. Wilfred glares at Dunyan before suddnely looking past him, his face lights up with optimisim "Oh good." he sighed with relief. "Back up has arrived."
Dunyan turns sharply to meet who Wilfred was referring to, but finds nobody. He turns back to face Wilfred only to find Chowdry being flung toward him.

[Ghan]

Stepping onto the stairs, Desmond let out another bullet and it landed inbetween the eyes of a ghoul. He was growing more accustomed to his pistol and his accuracy was beginning to get better .

[RaveDragon]

the gruop managed to get to the second floor unscathed with very little bruises. the demons like before did not enter with them backing away as if scared. In front of them stood

"I'm sorry, my name is Niko Duvre and I hope you can get past true me, for the sake of my country, she whimpered sadly unsheathing her sword, "Please stop me,"

"Duvre, that's familiar," Ammy said aloud to her companions but couldn't recall were she heard the name.

"we do not have time, i can feel Ammit pressing closer to the soul of the place," Rouge growled, "someone must stay and confront the girl,"

Phil she's all yours

meanwhile Dunya had been taken aback by the ferocity of the young exorcist, "You remind me of myself when i started out boy,"

He had grown very pale and almost transparent, Wilfred could see through him now.
When he saw Chowdry flying at him he let the creature attack him with sick pleasure and threw him down on the floor. A poisoned blade from his boot came out and he aimed it at the striggling Chowdry's stomach.

Now tell me what wil and chowdry will attempt to do and I will move Dunya okay don't move him yourself and don't worry we all make some mistakes when we start out.

[Tame]

The group managed to get to the second floor with very few bruises. The demons like before did not enter with them backing away as if scared.

'I'm sorry, my name is Niko Duvre and I hope you can get past me, for the sake of my country,' she whimpered sadly unsheathing her sword. 'Please stop me.'

'Duvre, that's familiar,' Ammy said aloud to her companions but couldn't recall were she had heard the name.

'We do not have time, I can feel Ammit pressing closer to the soul of the place.' Rouge growled, 'Someone must stay and confront the girl.'

'I'll do it,' Phil said, his own sword raised. 'You guys go on ahead, I'll catch you up.' He stepped forward to confront the woman. 'Francious' surname is Duvre,' he said. 'Are you his ancestor or something?' he asked the ghost.

[RaveDragon]

Ammy, Desmond along with Rouge still holding the glass orb in her fangs moved on. Ammy nodded at Phil, "Good luck,"

"Francious, you know francious? he's my little brother," Niko said as if in taers and yet she prepared to attack him, she lunges straight for his neck, and rapidly tried to hit his vital organs, heart , liver neck or eyes.


xXx

Ammy and desmonde together with rouge were almost to the third level. The ghouls and goblins had noticeably reduced.

"it must be the effect of Gustav's soul, the closer we are the stronger it is," Ammy said.


xXx

"two of them are almost at the third floor, Wilfred is on the first and Phil on the second in a battle," Francious shouted at the two instructors currently engaging the ever rising number of demons, some were souls obviously Ammit didn't want anyone interfering, "They might actually make it,"

"Of course they will, Desmonde is my pupil after all," Lin griinned proudly shooting down a ghoul, three souls and a number of goblins rapidly.

"You haven't even thought him anything yet," Peasance pointed out between chants.

[Ghan]

"Phew, we're almost there" Desmond said exhaustingly. He wasted a lot of bullets on unnecessary shots. He still had some of those holy water bombs but they weren't enough to hold back alot of demons.

[Tame]

Ammy, Desmond along with Rouge still holding the glass orb in her fangs moved on. Ammy nodded at Phil, 'Good luck.' He didn't take his eyes off his opponent to acknowledge her.

'Francious, you know Francious? He's my little brother,' Niko said as if in tears and yet she prepared to attack him, lunging straight for his neck, and rapidly tried to hit his vital organs, heart , liver neck or eyes.

Phil raised his sword to block the woman's attacks. 'He's your brother?' he asked, parrying the blows as best he could, but not yet attempting to strike back. 'Whaddya mean? How come you're fighting against us, then?!'

[RaveDragon]

"My soul was captured by the demon Ammit when I was killed by a demon child, I am in his power," Niko told him her face a painful. grimace, "careful I'm going to trip you,"

It was too late Phil found himself with his back on the floor and Niko swung her sword downwards.

"You have to win, please, tell my brother it was our fault, we attacked the demon child with no valid reason, it was self defense," Niko pleaded.


xXx

"Phew, we're almost there" Desmond said exhaustingly. He wasted a lot of bullets on unnecessary shots. He still had some of those holy water bombs but they weren't enough to hold back alot of demons.

Fortunately the two made it to the third floor were the last of the generels awaited them.

[Ghan]

Coming over the last step , there were two figures standing before both of them. "I'm guessing you two are supposed to fight us,am I correct?"

[RaveDragon]

"That's right little boy, but i'm more interested in the girl since she's like me," the beast like man griinned showing off his fang like Teeth.

The boy lunges and quickly grabbed Ammy from the collar they made her wear lifting her and throwing her to do ground in a full swing, "I see the order doesn;t like you much, holding you back with their petty trinkits,"

He patted he man next to him on the back hard hitting him a few times, "Pete here will take care of you,"

"I am sorry," Peter Duvre said looking desloate, "i am not in control of myself, that demon has taken me as his,'

He aimed his gun at Desmond and fired, however he seemed to be struggling and his control of his body was not completely gone

xxXxx

On the fourth flooor Ammit cackled as he got closer to the soul of gustav stored on the last floor "it's almost MINE,"
The whole building shuddered with his triumphant cry.

[Ghan]

He aimed his gun at Desmond and fired, however he seemed to be struggling and his control of his body was not completely gone.

A bullet whizzed past his cheek and left a sharp cut. Blood slowly started to drip out and pretty soon it was running down his neck. Desmond threw a holy water bomb and immediately rolled to his left firing the last of his bullets towards Peter. A sudden click alerted him that his ammo had ran out.

Desmond threw a holy water bomb and immediately rolled to his left firing the last of his bullets towards Peter. A sudden click alerted him that his ammo had ran out.

Although peter was unharmed by the holy water, he was temporarily blinded and most of the bullets hit there mark, he started to pale a little and a little hope seemed etched on his features, "Duck kid,"

Peter moved in front of Desmonde aiming his shot straight in between his eyes,'

The man seemed to manage to lift his hand.

"Get off me you ass," Ammy said removing the smirk from Marlions face grabbing his wrist she threw him straight into a pillar close by, with a motion from her hand the cat man was wrapped by some metallic rope from the tower.

[Ghan]

In one quick motion, Desmond slammed his gun against Peter to stall him for a second. His hand started to emit a dark aura that came from the circle of his hand. The aura embraced his pistol and Desmond couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes. The dark aura was actually the cat that him and Lin found from the other night. The gun's features began to change as well as its color

[Tame]

Back on the lower floor, Phill rolled aside just before his ghostly enemy's sword swung down upon him. He turned the roll into a recovery and was back on his feet in a moment. Demon child, soul capture, Ammit - Phil didn't uderstand any of it

In one fluid movement the Esquire raised his sword to his right and swung it across his body towards Niko's side.

'Is there any way of rescuing you?!' he asked desperately as he attacked - he didn't know whether the woman was dead or just... well, who knew?

The gun's features began to change as well as its color.

Peter grunted as he was thrown aside by the force, he shook his head even though there was no pain or disorientation, when he looked up he saw something that made him automatically smile. The boy could beat him for sure!

Ammy had felt it the sudden change in Desmonde and grinned toothily, she faintly heard the sound of moaning like metal was being dented. Wait a mom-
The girl felt a weight catapult her and whatever jumped her on the floor they rolled away from each other, she grabbed the jaws of the beast and held them wide open.
"God awful breath,' she told the fully lionified like demon on her that used to be Marion.


xXx

In one fluid movement the Esquire raised his sword to his right and swung it across his body towards Niko's side.

'Is there any way of rescuing you?!' he asked desperately as he attacked - he didn't know whether the woman was dead or just... well, who knew?

Niko recieved the blade almost as if voluntarily on her sied, "Nice kid, wouldn't be able to evade that even if i wanted to,"

Phil noticed she had become mush paler as their swords met and they struggled for dominance.

"This is just my possessed soul, I am not even the shell of what i used to be, I can be saved though....defeat ammit, and all his souls will be free to go to their rightful place," Niko smiled sadly, "Can you tell my brother to read report number 623, it's in the french hq, it would mean more than salvation to me and peter"

[Tame]

Phil noticed that Niko had become mush paler as their swords met and they struggled for dominance.

'This is just my possessed soul, I am not even the shell of what I used to be, I can be saved though....defeat Ammit, and all his souls will be free to go to their rightful place,' Niko smiled sadly, 'Can you tell my brother to read report number 623, it's in the French HQ, it would mean more than salvation to me and Peter.'

'623, got it!' said Phil with a nod. He jumped back a couple of steps, putting a little distance between himself and the poor woman. The Vorpal Blade's special ability was no good here against this non-demon opponent, so that meant he just had to rely on his skills with a sword. He ran forward, his sword before him, and struck directly downwards at Niko, trying to overpower her.

[shukketsumaru]

He had grown very pale and almost transparent, Wilfred could see through him now.
When he saw Chowdry flying at him he let the creature attack him with sick pleasure and threw him down on the floor. A poisoned blade from his boot came out and he aimed it at the striggling Chowdry's stomach.
Just before he connected, Chowdry explodes into a thick purple smoke and wraps itself densely around his enemy. Wilfred sends over a single flaming spark causing the smoke to erupt in flames.

[Ghan]

"Woah , what the hell is going on", Desmond said. The aura was still flowing from his palm. A head began to form above the gun and so did the rest of the body. The black figure eyes opened and then he recognized it was the cat from the alley.

"You" he said under his breath. The cat silently purred and the figure dismantled .

On the ground was Peter , who was awkwardly smiling at him for some reason. A shot rang off and a bullet landed 2 inches away from Peter's left ear.

"Would you like to surrender?" Dante asked him

[RaveDragon]

'623, got it!' said Phil with a nod. He jumped back a couple of steps, putting a little distance between himself and the poor woman. The Vorpal Blade's special ability was no good here against this non-demon opponent, so that meant he just had to rely on his skills with a sword. He ran forward, his sword before him, and struck directly downwards at Niko, trying to overpower her.

“My flaw, are my feet, trip me,” Niko said through gritted teeth a small grateful smile on her lip and tears slid down her cheeks, “I never perfected my balance, and thank you Phil really, for trying to save me,”

Niko had parried him and was struggling with him, for a woman she was strong but she was on his side luckily.



xXx

Just before he connected, Chowdry explodes into a thick purple smoke and wraps itself densely around his enemy. Wilfred sends over a single flaming spark causing the smoke to erupt in flames.

"W-what! Impossible," the poison master screamed having been outwit by a technique so similar to his own it made him furious. He caught on fire and jumped out rolling around trying to put out his fire.

Then looking at his barely visible arms he cursed and jumped aflame grabbing Wilfred with his legs who seemed astonished and cried in agony of the burning licks of flames, who fortunately were almost out and did minimum damage. The man opened his pale jacket to reveal a gas bomb, "This gas is like acid melts you from the inside, Im dead already what do i have to care, ammit will revive me anyway, i shall just take your soul as an offering to him!"
The man's cackle got on Wilfred's nerves.
One last hit and you win! make it spectacular :D



xXx

"Woah , what the hell is going on", Desmond said. The aura was still flowing from his palm. A head began to form above the gun and so did the rest of the body. The black figure eyes opened and then he recognized it was the cat from the alley.

"You" he said under his breath. The cat silently purred and the figure dismantled .

On the ground was Peter , who was awkwardly smiling at him for some reason. A shot rang off and a bullet landed 2 inches away from Peter's left ear.

"Would you like to surrender?" Desmond asked him

Peter’s eyes widened and he let out a hopeful laugh, “Kid I only I could! Do me a favour and tell Francoius me and Niko loved him okay?”

“Nice going Desmond, but I need a favour here, shoot of my bracelet!” Ammy cheered in hope his aim was as spectacular as the aura she felt around the boy. She was struggling with the liondemon that had been once a boy and couldn’t overpower him without her own demon heritage, her human self could just about keep up as she kicked him making him squirm back when he got too close to his face. She had to fight fire with fire. Her sword had been thrown to the other side of the buildings room so it could not help her and she had no choice.

Peter started running across the room as he shot several shots at Desmonde who was keeping up magnificently with him.

[Ghan]

“Nice going Desmond, but I need a favour here, shoot of my bracelet!”

"I'm on it, but I can't make any promises". The only thing he had was a pistol, and it's aim was too dangerous to shoot that close to her neck.

The aura that surrounded the gun disappeared along with the gun. "Oh shit ", he yelled in frustration.

Peter started running across the room as he shot several shots at Desmonde who was keeping up magnificently with him.

"Dammit all" Desmond said.

[Tame]

My flaw are my feet, trip me, Niko said through gritted teeth a small grateful smile on her lip and tears slid down her cheeks, 'I never perfected my balance, and thank you Phil really, for trying to save me.'

Niko had parried him and was struggling with him, for a woman she was strong but she was on his side luckily. Phil's teeth were gritted too, and his heart readily ached for his foe. He knew what he had to do, but knowing and doing were two very different things.

Hopping suddenly out of the way and unlocking his sword from Niko's, he hoped to unbalance her a little by the sudden disappearance of the weight she was pushing against. He also swung one leg towards the woman's shin and aimed the butt of his sword at the back of the head, hoping this combination of moves would bring her falling forward.

[shukketsumaru]

Then looking at his barely visible arms he cursed and jumped aflame grabbing Wilfred with his legs who seemed astonished and cried in agony of the burning licks of flames, who fortunately were almost out and did minimum damage. The man opened his pale jacket to reveal a gas bomb, "This gas is like acid melts you from the inside, Im dead already what do i have to care, ammit will revive me anyway, i shall just take your soul as an offering to him!"
The man's cackle got on Wilfred's nerves.

"Cartha y byd hwn hyll" Wilfred muttered.
The flames around them shined with a painful radiance. Dunyan reeled back as the seemingly inconsequential burns he suffered earlier throbbed and spread before turning to ash; dissolving into the wind.

[RaveDragon]

“Nice going Desmond, but I need a favour here, shoot of my bracelet!”

"I'm on it, but I can't make any promises". The only thing he had was a pistol, and it's aim was too dangerous to shoot that close to her neck.

"Make sure you take it off away fro my wrists, then I can kill the motherhugger," Ammy swore as she felt the beast, soul thing scratch at her waste his head getting a bit too close to her face. ((Not the collar the silver bracelet on her wrist =P))

Desmonde's powers however seemed to have vanished.

"Concentrate Desmonde, listen to the soul in your heart,' Ammy shouted desperately, her life was in the boys resolve.

"Desmonde call him to you, trust in your powers," Lin's voice rushed him from the communication bracelet on his wrist as Peter's bullets rushed towards him, some grazed him but till now he had been able to dodge any aiming at vital organs.

Niko had parried Phil and was struggling with him, for a woman she was strong but she was on his side luckily. Phil's teeth were gritted too, and his heart readily ached for his foe. He knew what he had to do, but knowing and doing were two very different things.

Hopping suddenly out of the way and unlocking his sword from Niko's, he hoped to unbalance her a little by the sudden disappearance of the weight she was pushing against. He also swung one leg towards the woman's shin and aimed the butt of his sword at the back of the head, hoping this combination of moves would bring her falling forward.

Niko blinked in surprise as the weight vanished, the boy has used her flaw perfectly, she fell forward and with the blows brought her down face first but her body was that of a skilled swordwoman and she swung around on the floor and aimed her sword straight at his knee without getting up. It was a risky move but effective if not parried.


xXx

"Wilfred can you hear me?" Pleasance voice resounded from the battlefield in the plane of grass in front of the eiffel tower. Francious had told them the presence next to Wilfred had vanished, "Report? How is it going with you?"

Pleasance and Lin were both a tad battered and bruised but still had a lot of fight in them, they looked upward toward the grotesque body of Ammit and noted with dismay he was close to entering the highest level of the tower where the soul of gustav was held.

[Tame]

In his moment of triumph, as Niko hit the floor, Phil let his guard down. She fell forward but her body was that of a skilled swordwoman and she swung around on the floor and aimed her sword straight at his knee without getting up. It was a risky move but effective if not parried.

'Shit!' The attack had hit home and Phil felt a sharp pain surge through his leg. He clutched just above the wound, digging in his fingers in the hope that this would alleviate some of the pain. The boy gasped through his teeth, his knuckles white.

'Damnit... Shit...!' Trying to fight the pain, Phil remembered his mission. He lifted his sword to waist height and looked into the eyes of Niko. He controlled his breathing and put the wound to the back of his mind for a moment.

'I'm sorry, Niko,' he said to the ghostly woman, tears in his eyes that weren't just from his wound. 'I'll tell Francious...' He shut his eyes. Then he thrust his blade downwards, aiming for her heart.

[Ghan]

Desmonde call him to you, trust in your powers," Lin's voice rushed him from the communication bracelet on his wrist as Peter's bullets rushed towards him, some grazed him but till now he had been able to dodge any aiming at vital organs.

" Alright, here i go" he said. Desmond screamed inside his head for the cat to come back out. he didnt know what else to do. Blood stains were all over his clothes and he didnt have any ammo.

A silent purr filled his ears. " Thats all you had to do punk"

His gun began to lose its form as the aura came back out. A scope began to come in sight as the gun fully took on another form.

It was a sniper rifle. But there was no time to think. He had to shoot off Ammy's bracelet.

Desmond quickly went prone and stared down the scope. His shot ranged off with a loud bang.

[RaveDragon]

'I'm sorry, Niko,' he said to the ghostly woman, tears in his eyes that weren't just from his wound. 'I'll tell Francious...' He shut his eyes. Then he thrust his blade downwards, aiming for her heart.

The girl seemed to smile for a moment bracing herself for the impact, maybe the last shred of control she had, the sword pierced her heart and she faded into a glitter of light.

'Thank you,' a soft voice resounded in Phil's head, as the boy allowed himself to sit down and get a breather.



xXx

It was a sniper rifle. But there was no time to think. He had to shoot off Ammy's bracelet.

Desmond quickly went prone and stared down the scope. His shot ranged off with a loud bang.

It singed Ammy's wrist but the silvery bracelet came right of her wrist with a clank, the thing exploded and lay in heeps right by her hand as she lay under the disfigured half human half lion.

Ammy smirked as her body began to morph in shape, "My turn..."

The lion whimpered as he sailed through the air with a loud bang, he rolled a few metres away from Ammy who got up, the wound from the bullet on her wrist was already closed up smoking as it healed, the blood trickling the only sign of the damage that had been done. She had completely changed in appaearance, her hair had grown longer and unruly, a messy white, she sported a white bushy wolf tail swishing from side to side and matching wolf ears, her teeth become fang like and her eyes turn golden yellow.

The collar on her neck sparked and she tsked a tad annoyed as it limited her powers and the electric shock was irking her.

The lion demon growled and launched at her, she allowed him to bite her with a grin on her face, he roared with pain as his teeth encountered hard metal. The girl grabbed him from the neck and punched him with her iron morhped claw, the damage was significant as her opponent became transparent.

"A measly hybrid of some unknown can never match the daughter of Fenris," she growled with a smirk gesturing for the feline to come at her.

Rouge cheered her partner, she could not join the fight as she had been tasked to protect the soul orb, she intended to fulfill her task


xXx

Peter took advantage of the distracted Desmonde, and ran right behind him the gun to the boys head.

"Boy, duck!"


xXx
"Wilfred, Phil can you hear me?" Pleasance voice resounded form their communication bracelet, she had not contacted the students that were still battling, "Report quickly, over here we are under attack,"

Lin spoke up cursing as she shot a few blows, she looked at their giant demon companions of different shapes, some resembled dragons others cats and dogs or mice, "Our summonings are starting to get tired, the french are pretty good tamers but they won't hold on for long, Ammit is almost inside, hurry to your companions once you are fully sure you can make it!"

[Tame]

The girl seemed to smile for a moment bracing herself for the impact, maybe the last shred of control she had, the sword pierced her heart and she faded into a glitter of light.

'Thank you,' a soft voice resounded in Phil's head, as the boy allowed himself to sit down and get a breather.

He slumped down on the ground, letting his sword fall by his side. Tears ran down his cheeks as he tore open his trousers to examine his wound. It looked bad, but it was just a flesh wound. The Exorcist told himself he'd just give himself a minute to catch his breath, then he'd try to walk on in.

'Wilfred, Phil can you hear me?' Pleasance's voice resounded form their communication bracelet, she had not contacted the students that were still battling, 'Report quickly, over here we are under attack.'

'Pleasance!' he exclaimed, wiping his eyes. He had forgotten he had the bracelet on. 'My opponent's down. I'm just about to head up to the next floor.'

Lin spoke up cursing as she shot a few blows, she looked at their giant demon companions of different shapes, some resembled dragons others cats and dogs or mice, 'Our summonings are starting to get tired, the french are pretty good tamers but they won't hold on for long, Ammit is almost inside, hurry to your companions once you are fully sure you can make it!'

'Where are you guys?' Phil asked.

[shukketsumaru]

"Wilfred, Phil can you hear me?" Pleasance voice resounded form their communication bracelet, she had not contacted the students that were still battling, "Report quickly, over here we are under attack,"

In the girders between the 2nd and 3rd floors of the Eiffel Tower, Wilfred lay atop Chowdry who has morphed into a giant balloon. The two are slowly floating up to the top. Wilfred is fiddling with his communication thingy. "Hello, hello. How do you use thing?" he complained.

XXXX

'Pleasance!' he exclaimed, wiping his eyes. He had forgotten he had the bracelet on. 'My opponent's down. I'm just about to head up to the next floor.'

XXXX

Wilfred listens to the conversation for a bit before looking to Chowdry. "Whelp, they can't hear me. I've been poisoned. I can't take two steps without losing HP, and I've got a buggy communicator. Isn't that wizard?" Wilfred spies Ammit drawing closer and closer to the tower. "Aaaaaaaand that's the boss character if I've ever seen one."

[RaveDragon]

Pleasance!' he exclaimed, wiping his eyes. He had forgotten he had the bracelet on. 'My opponent's down. I'm just about to head up to the next floor.'

"Well done as expected of my boy," Pleasance praised.

'Where are you guys?' Phil asked.

"Wilfred is moving up with his familiar, try and hitch a ride from him he's a little above you," Pleasance suggested before she chanted inaudibly dissolving the demons flying at her.

Ammy and Desmonde are on the 3rd floor battling out and we are on the ground, France is in panic since the barrier is slowly failing and demons are taking advantage of it," Francious explained through the communication device. He was sitting in the hq as surveillance.

"You need to replenish Gustav's soul quick, demons of every shape and kind are popping up like daises here trying to have it for lunch,"Lin chuckled actually having quite some fun, "Run like the wind boy,"


xXx

Wilfred listens to the conversation for a bit before looking to Chowdry. "Whelp, they can't hear me. I've been poisoned. I can't take two steps without losing HP, and I've got a buggy communicator. Isn't that wizard?" Wilfred spies Ammit drawing closer and closer to the tower. "Aaaaaaaand that's the boss character if I've ever seen one."

"Wilfred we can't hear you boy," Lin mumbled concerned in the communicator shooting the giant armadillo like demon in front of her. She glanced up at the balloon like familiar with the tiny silhouette of the boy on him.

"He's hearing us though, his bracelet got busted,"Francious mumbled pointing at his screen and the red mark on Wilfreds bracelet.

xXx

"Oh no the girl went demon! She must be wanting the soul for herself!" Francious growled angrily.

Pleasance and Lin just laughed at his clueless nature.

SHUNK

One minute the girl was in front of him and the next her sword which had laid a few metres behind her was protruding from his head and her morphed claw like metallic arm was jutting out of his back, he felt like he wanted to scream looking at her golden yellow eyes before he dissolved into nothingness.

"Three down, one to go," Ammy yawned looking back at Peter and Desmonde having at it, she decided against helping him, the boy was doing well enough on his own.

"how are you kid?" Lin asked her.

"Fine I would be better if this colour stopped sending electric shocks it's distracting," Ammy mumbled scratching behind Rouges ears.

"Be patient child, we have to suppress your power some way, and with your special bracelet gone you'll have to bear with that until we're with you," Pleasance assured her.

"Whatever," she murmured back.

[Ghan]

Peter took advantage of the distracted Desmond, and ran right behind him the gun to the boys head.

"Boy, duck!"

Desmond immediately slammed his face onto the ground. He struck his foot on Peter's shin and quickly backed up with his gun in hand.

[Tame]

'Wilfred is moving up with his familiar, try and hitch a ride from him he's a little above you,' Pleasance suggested before she chanted inaudibly dissolving the demons flying at her.

'Ammy and Desmonde are on the 3rd floor battling out and we are on the ground, France is in panic since the barrier is slowly failing and demons are taking advantage of it,' Francious explained through the communication device. He was sitting in the HQ as surveillance.

'You need to replenish Gustav's soul quick, demons of every shape and kind are popping up like daises here trying to have it for lunch,' Lin chuckled actually having quite some fun, 'Run like the wind boy.'

'Wish I could run.' Phil grabbed his sword, pulled himself to his feet and hobbled as quickly as he could over to the edge of the platform he stood on. Looking up, he saw a balloon-like shape heading upwards. 'Hey, Wilfred!!' he yelled as loudly as could, hoping his classmate would hear. 'Any way you can give me a lift?!'

[shukketsumaru]

Phil grabbed his sword, pulled himself to his feet and hobbled as quickly as he could over to the edge of the platform he stood on. Looking up, he saw a balloon-like shape heading upwards. 'Hey, Wilfred!!' he yelled as loudly as could, hoping his classmate would hear. 'Any way you can give me a lift?!'
Wilfred shuffles over to see who's shouting and see Phil. He shakes his head. "Chowdry can only go up an down when he's like this!", he yelled. Wilfred reaches over and wraps his arm around a girder, stopping his ascent. "You'll have to come to us!"

[Tame]

'Got it!' Phil called back in acknowledgment. He sheathed his sword and took hold of one girder that acted as part of a pillar of the ouside of the tower. He pulled himself up onto a railing, then began to slowly climb the pillar, edging his way graduallly upwards towards Chowdry and Wilfred.

'Wait a minute!' he said to himself after a couple of minutes. 'What the hell am I doing?! I hate heights!! And I'm wounded!! What possessed my to climb the Eiffel Tower?!?! Just how much blood have I lossed?!' Then he made the mistake of looking down. His head spun and he clung so tight to the iron that his knuckles went white. His began to climb again, this time much more slowly and cautiously.

Another minute or so and he was level with Wilfred. 'What now?' he asked. 'Should I just jump over to you?'

[RaveDragon]

Desmond immediately slammed his face onto the ground. He struck his foot on Peter's shin and quickly backed up with his gun in hand.

The man was surprised by the quick reflexes Desmond displayed and lost his balance with the kick, he even lost his gun which skidded away from him proving the boy's luck was on his side today as Peter scampered to retrieve it giving enough time for the boy to win the match.


xXx

Ammy left everything in Desmonde's hands as instructed by Lin, who wnated him to understand his power and thus he had to do thison his own. The girl in her demon form looked down and waved at Wilfred and Phil who were struggling to get the swordsman on the inflated Chowdry.

"Guys hurry your asses Ammit's in!" she shrieked at them, they seemed to blink at her but fortunately they recognized her and nodded.
"Huh?" Ammy said sniffing, "Where's rouge, oh no DAMMIT!"


xXx


"Tsk, those useless souls lost, but it doesnt not matter, I will devour them and take the price," Ammit cackled having finally reached the final level of the eiffel tower, only a barrier stopped him from having Gustav's soul.

The last barrier fallen off and his hands inches from his trophy the demon felt something topple him over and bite his tail hard. He looked behind him to see a giant nine tailed fox the size of a care holding him. The soul orb was left by the entrance.

(OOC: here we go the final boss guys, let's get to him next post!)

[Tame]

'Guys hurry your asses Ammit's in!' she shrieked at them, they seemed to blink at her but fortunately they recognized her and nodded.

'Is that... Ammy?' Phil said, blinking up at the strange creature that had spoken to him and Wilfred, a little confused. Then he remembered their mission. 'Oh, damnit,' he said, his voice shaking. 'Why did I ever become and Exorcist? Oh well, here goes nothing!'

He jumped backwards, using his legs to push off the tower. In mid-air he turned so that he was facing his target; Chowdry's back. Unfortunately, his injured leg had impeded his jump somewhat and it looked like he might fall short.

'Craaaap!' he yelled as he reached out as far as he could for any kind of hand-hold.

[Ghan]

The man was surprised by the quick reflexes Desmond displayed and lost his balance with the kick, he even lost his gun which skidded away from him proving the boy's luck was on his side today as Peter scampered to retrieve it giving enough time for the boy to win the match.

"I really dont want to do this" Desmond told Peter. " Please dont get hurt".

He had to quickly select an area to hit him where it wouldnt seriously injure. With one quick motion, he fired a bullet into his kneecaps.

'Is that... Ammy?' Phil said, blinking up at the strange creature that had spoken to him and Wilfred, a little confused. Then he remembered their mission. 'Oh, damnit,' he said, his voice shaking. 'Why did I ever become and Exorcist? Oh well, here goes nothing!'

He jumped backwards, using his legs to push off the tower. In mid-air he turned so that he was facing his target; Chowdry's back. Unfortunately, his injured leg had impeded his jump somewhat and it looked like he might fall short.

'Craaaap!' he yelled as he reached out as far as he could for any kind of hand-hold.

Chowdry moves his nose as if it were another appendage, grabbing a hold of Phil with it. "Now that we've got our cargo", Wilfred mused. "Full steam upward Chowdry!" Chowdry grunted in affirmation and and began to bloat more rapidly, increasing the speed of their ascension.

'Oof!' Phil landed with a grateful bump on Chowdry's nose. 'Thanks guys!'

'Now that we've got our cargo,' Wilfred mused, 'Full steam upward Chowdry!' Chowdry grunted in affirmation and and began to bloat more rapidly, increasing the speed of their ascension.

Phil, not the best with heights, wrapped his arms and legs around Chowdry's nose and clung to him nservously as they went upwards.

"Good going kid!" his enemy smiled before fading, "Now I can go to Niko, but please, save the other souls,"

"RAAAAAAAA," Ammit growled slicing Rouge's side with one swing of his talons, the poor nine-tails turned back to her smaller siza in a puff of smoke losing consciousness and the orb. His rage stopped him from action, his generals, how could they have been beaten so easily. Smoke erupted from his mouth and his eyes shot at the staircases. he decided, he would kill the exorcists and then he would clam his prize and thus he waited for them unmoving, seething and a tad happy with the prospect of the blood to be spilled.

Ammy looked around the room before leanein outside with no qualms about the hate, she would survive it anyway in her demon form, and pulled Chowdry and his passengers to them. The wierd stares the three boys gave her made her almost groan. Her tailed swished hitting Phils face which irked her the most, flabbergasted was not a reation she liked. Wilfred seeemd curious and desmonde just found it cool.

"Did you really think I was kidding when I said I was the daughter of Fenris, demoness, I'm half demon, why do you think I got all the rage stares and this pretty collar," she huffed shaking the collar on her neck "This thing sparks me ig i'm in my demon form and cuts my power greatly so..."

Picking up what used to be her sealing amulet, before sighing and throwing it away,"needed a new one anyway,"

The four talked for a while before reaching a mutual agreement.

"Are you ready for action boys? Rouge is gaining us some time, and now we need to kick that things ass!" Ammy grinned showing of some impressive fangs. the four set off for the last level where Ammy gasped picking up the apologizing pulp thather familiar was, her golden orbs flashed with anger.

"How interesting to sea hybrid by the ranks f the exorcists, but i did hear it was the new fashion in the troops of you humans," the creature which seems like a jigsaw puzzles of animals put together grinned evilly at them before swiping a crocodile tail at them hitting all of them all and throwing them on their but.

"SPREAD OUT!" Ammy ordered recuperating from the blow and unsheathing her sword. It was best if she did not lose herself.

" SERIOUSLY? ANOTHER ONE OF THESE THINGS? SERIOUSLY?". His nerves were getting bad as Desmond brung up his gun and fired at the creature.

[Tame]

Ammy's tail swished, hitting Phil's flabbergasted face. 'Whut?!' he exclaimed, snapping out of his reverie. 'You're a demon?!' Phil didn't mind that his classmate was part demon, afterall, Exorcists used demons as familiars all the time. He was just surprised that the Order had let one become an Exorcist!

Once he had overcome the initial shock of seeing his classmate in this strange form, Phil cut off the leg of one of his trousers and used is a makeshift tourniquet. As they headed on up, he found that his leg was good enough to walk on, though running at any great speed would be difficult.

'Are you ready for action, boys? Rouge is gaining us some time, and now we need to kick that thing's ass!' Ammy grinned showing of some impressive fangs. The four set off for the last level where Ammy gasped, picking up the apologising pulp that her familiar was, her golden orbs flashed with anger.

'How interesting to sea hybrid by the ranks of the exorcists, but I did hear it was the new fashion in the troops of you humans,' the creature which seems like a jigsaw puzzles of animals put together grinned evilly at them before swiping a crocodile tail at them hitting all of them all and throwing them on their butts.

'SPREAD OUT!' Ammy ordered recuperating from the blow and unsheathing her sword. It was best if she did not lose herself.

'SERIOUSLY? ANOTHER ONE OF THESE THINGS? SERIOUSLY?' His nerves were getting bad as Desmond brought up his gun and fired at the creature.

Phil scrambled to his feet and headed to the left, hoping to circle in on the creature from one side so as not to get in the way of Desmond's gun fire. He took his Vorpal Sword in hand. Its magical power sealed all the Fatal Verses he had recited to it within its blade; if he cut the demon and its Fatal Verse were one of those sealed, the sword would magically echo the verse, thus killing the demon. Phil was doubtful that Ammit's verse was one of those he had read to his sword, but it was worth a try.

He rushed towards the creature with as much speed as his injury would allow, sword raised above his head, and swung it down towards his foe with a yell.

Wilfred tries to stand, but can't, so he drags himself to the nearest girder to brace himself against. Desmond fired at the demon and Phil struggled to his feet. "Chowdry", he called to his tapir. "I know you're exhausted, but I just need enough smoke to heating up a mirage." Panting, Chowdry lets out a light stream of smoke. Wilfred produces a small flame which slowly causes him to blend into the girder he is laying against. As Phil rushes towards the demon, sword drawn, Wilfred analyses the enemy. "Such a unique shape" he thought to himself. "Ammit, King of Souls. Demons with that elemental alignment are deterred by pure ash, soil, or salt. Which I've got none of!" "Oh well" he muttered. "It's not like the objective is to kill a demon lord. Just got to put the orb where it needs to be, just call me Mr. Stealth." Wilfred and Chowdry slowly crawl over to the orb's direction.
