  1. Orochi Tower, Japan
  2. (A transformer outside the Love hotel in Kaidan crackles to life, releasing a jolt of electricity. Sparks burning their way through the rubber sheath of the power lines seem to mark the path of the sudden power surge. If one were to listen carefully the humming of the electricity moving along the power line and the hissing of the burning rubber might be mistaken for the laughter of some unseen entity. Outside the sealed subway tunnels near the docks, Connar prepares his team for their assault on Orochi tower and their assent in to Third Sundays HQ floating ominously above the tower. Heeding the advice of Emma, Lula and Helios have joined them outside the tunnel not knowing what fate awaits them. A group of Korinto-kai soldiers have joined Yuuko to provide support for the assault, along with Flynn, Emma, and the militia members from Greenfield Ireland. The wolf pups pace back and forth outside of the sealed tunnel anxiously, as Tuk stares at the tower across the bay.)
  3. Connar:(Pulling himself up on to a near by train) Attention everyone, I would like to take a few moments to go over our plan of attack. We will be divided into two teams, the first will infiltrate and destroy Third Sundays HQ, there is a door on the executive boardroom level that connects Orochi tower to Third Sundays HQ. Once we are on the other side of that door, I will prime and detonate a custom built explosive and destroy their HQ and hopefully everyone inside. However neither Orochi or Third Sunday are just going to let us in, that is where the second team comes in. The second team will set up camp in the courtyard of the tower and stop anything from coming inside. I won't lie to you this is not going to be easy, as soon as I set foot in that elevator, every zero point bird within 200 km is going to try and force its way into that tower, Tuk, Boris, Wilberforce and Hjarta will help mitigate this problem, but this will still be an uphill fight. Before we can do any of this though we need to get into the tower, we will do this by accessing the subway tunnel, which will be opened by the last member of our team. Are there any questions before we get started
  4. Kenzie: “think I’m solid”
  5. Blaise: “yeah I have one.” (looks at Kate for a moment ) “Never mind; it can wait”
  6. Kate: (Kate just shakes her head.)
  7. Lula: (Sits in what could easily be mistaken for a meditative lotus position where Wilberforce paces nervously back and forth in front of her. A closer inspection reveals a set of wireless headphones in her ears and her phone showing a movie in her lap. Looking up she realizes someone was speaking to the group for the first time. Removing her headphones she smiles softly) “I’m sorry I wasn’t listening. Whom should I be killing? I’m sure it’s more complex than that, but I reach for simplicity whenever possible.”
  8. Helios: (The priest had been the quiet member of the group for the most part, standing beside the wolf pup indicated as being named Hjarta. When Connar finished his address to the gathering, he mutely nodded his understanding and cast his nervous, pale vision down to the ground beneath his feet.)
  9. Connar:(hopping down from the train, he checks his pistols and sword one last time before eyeing the sealed door to the subway.)
  10. Yuuko: Connar can I talk with you for a moment.
  11. Connar: What do you need?
  12. Yuuko: (leads Connar behind the train) I’m sorry I came looking for you. If I had just let you go then I wouldn't be in the way now and you wouldn't have to worry about me.
  13. Connar: (putting a hand on Yuuko’s shoulder) You have never been in the way, I’m sorry I didnt tell you where I was going, if I had done that you’d never had reached out to the Korinto-kai and been pulled into this mess.
  14. Yuuko: (Running a hand a long Connar's face) I’m glad I did, if it weren't for them I’d have never found you, reaching out to them was the best mistake I ever made. (pulling down the ninja wrap around his face, she moves to kiss him.)
  15. Connar: (Attempting to compensate for the difference in their height, he leans forward to meet her.)
  16. Lula: (Walks between the two lovers on her way toward the subway door) “Pardon me, striding through, don’t let me ruin the moment, everyone enjoys PDA”
  17. Connar: (looking annoyed at Lula) Thats exactly why we are behind the train. (As he sighs he turns back to Yuuko, who seems undisturbed by Lula’s interruption)
  18. Yuuko: (tears welling up in her eyes) Don't die.
  19. Connar: (removing his Ninja wrap and a necklace with single ring on it) take these.
  20. Yuuko: (looking at the ring on the necklace)...is this Lilly’s wedding ring...Oh Connar, I couldn't.
  21. Connar: I’ll be back to get them both, I promise.
  22. Yuuko: (wrapping the Ninja wrap around her face, before storing the ring and necklace in her bag.)
  23. Connar: (returning to the rest of the team)
  24. Yuuko: Is breá liom tú!
  25. Connar: (smiling) 私は、私の愛を知っています
  26. (the sound of crackling power lines seems to grow louder.)
  27. Connar: (Standing in front of the tunnel, hand on his sword) If any one wants out, now’s the time to speak up.
  28. Kenzie: “If I was to back out it would have been back when I was stuck in that one place two years ago”
  29. Blaise: “PFFT out now. two words ‘Rabbit - Season’ “
  30. Kate: “Wouldn’t be here if I didn’t mean to see it through.”
  31. Lula: (Looks down at Wilberforce) “Well obviously, but maybe there’s a reason -why- it’s such a cliche….Kurt Russell?!. (Croise snorts at that notion (whatever it was) in incredulity) “He wishes.”
  32. Helios: (The priest frowned anxiously at Connar’s warning, shaking his head the slightest bit. No, he would not turn back now. He doubted the ethereal wolf creature would abide by such a move anyway. They had to follow through with this.)
  33. (as the sound of the power lines grows louder, they can see the lights go out in orochi tower, before lighting back up in a pattern spelling “Come on in Chuck.” As the doors to the subway tunnel open, a barrage of bullets and electric charges greet them.)
  34. Connar: (teleporting to one of the security droids, he quickly cuts it down before drawing a pistol and firing 6 shots into another droid.)
  35. Kenzie: (she retorts with lightning and fire sending them toward the source from cover)
  36. Kate: (Ducks and spins to one side, drawing her pistoles as she does. By the time she comes around to face front she’s firing the weapons alternately.)
  37. Lula: (Lula crouches along the side of the wall leading to the subway door remaining as far from “Chuck” as possible and presenting as little of a target as she can). “Well this is going well.” (she mutters to herself)
  38. Blaise: (to Lula ) “Oh hi when did you get here?” (then peaks from cover to get a sense of the fire fight)
  39. Helios: (Drawing his thumbnail over the inside of his wrist in a sharp slice, he was soon weaving slender hands through the air in a series of practiced form motions, the small but steady stream of blood snaking out and beginning to form barriers around those nearest to him as he worked. Swift footfalls carried him and his trailing white pup off to the side behind a bit of cover he could manage, the firefight beginning in earnest.)
  40. (The Korinto-kai quickly take up positions outside the tunnel clearing the entrance of droids, As Flynn and the greenfield militia do the same.)
  41. Flynn: (to the Korinto-kai) you lot head in deeper, we will cover you.
  42. (the Korinto-kai begin moving further into the tunnel after Connar and the rest of the team. As they round a corner a tank fires a psychic Blast in their direction.)
  43. Connar: (Taking cover behind a train door, he signals to the rest of the team to do the same.)
  44. Kenzie: (Taking cover around the corner as the psychic blast flies past her)
  45. Blaise: (Taking cover behind the train door opposite of Connar)
  46. Kate: (Having taken cover.) “A tank. That hardly seems fair.”
  47. Lula:(Hangs back in the group almost observing more than actually fighting at this point. She remains nevertheless in danger, but seems uninterested in taking point, or anything close to it)
  48. Helios: (Doing what he could to keep his blood barriers up around his companions, he took cover as instructed just in time to avoid the brunt of the blast, leaning down to cover Hjarta with his body protectively. Pale eyes were alert and wide as he watched the field ahead. The fray into which they intended to venture.)
  49. Wakefield: (speaking over a loudspeaker on the tank. As another blast is prepared.) You will never set foot in the tower!
  50. Connar: I was wondering when he was going to show up again.
  51. Blaise: (Peaking around the side of the train door he can see two smoking motors underneath the tanks treads) Doc, if you can get me some cover I think I can put Harry out of action.
  52. Connar: I can do that lad, one sec.
  53. Kenzie: Wait Connar, I want to test something out let me handle this.
  54. Connar: (sheathing his sword and unholstering his other pistol.) Do it, everyone else keep those droids off of Kenzie and Blaise, Ready, forward!
  55. Helios: (At Connar’s call to press on, the priest emerged from behind his cover to dart forward with the others, arms continually weaving in fluid motions as he cast out and replenished the blood barriers around his companions. Hjarta at his heels.)
  56. Hjarta: (running beside Helios, his presences seem to lighten the strain of each of the spells.)
  57. (The team engages the droids causing Wakefield to target Connar and the other agents.)
  58. Blaise: (his eyes drawn to the smoke coming from the tank treads, he moves forward around Connar and the team. Drawing his sword, he cuts a floating security drone in half as he snatches both half’s of the drone from the air and hurls them at the left tread of the tank.)
  59. Kenzie: (rushing from around the corner, she charges the tesla coils on her shot gun with anima before charging the elemental talisman on her belt. As she moves up to the train door where Blaise had been hiding, she targets the right Tank tread and fires both a bolt electricity and a shot from the shotgun.)
  60. (The broken drone flies through the air, the lithium battery powering it overheats and explodes causing the broken motor inside the tank to overheat and shut down. The electric bolt from Kenzie's shotgun arch’s over the battlefield striking the broken motor on the right side, as the anima charge shot gun shell hits the same spot on the tank, the carbon titanium plate protecting it becomes molten, causing the motor inside to catch fire and shut down. As the two motors go into emergency shutdown mode the rest of the tank shuts off. The hatch to the tank opens and out of the tank jumps a heavily modified Orochi Razor droid with a Templar cross on its chest.)
  61. Wakefield: I don’t need a tank to stop you!
  62. Kenzie: (Moving to the side of Wakefield she begins firing shots into a minefield blocking the agent's path)
  63. Blaise: (Seeming to be in two places at once, he materializes next to Wakefield, striking off one of his arm blade with his own sword, before grabbing him by his arm and flipping him into an almost clear minefield.)
  64. Kate: (firing several shots into the droid's legs while it is in the air.)
  65. Helios: (Watched the split-second exchanges, finding new meager cover for the duration of the explosions while monitoring the stability of the barriers around the others. Waiting until they were called to move again. Grateful Hjarta was somehow alleviating a portion of the blood drain that taxed him.)
  66. (As a the broken Razor droid that houses Wakefield's consciousness lands in the exploding minefield, the droid shatters into a thousand pieces, as a near by turret comes to life.)
  67. Kenzie: (Turning her shot gun on the turret she destroys it with single shot.)
  68. Connar: Lets keep moving we still got a ways to the tower.
  69. (Connar leads the agents through the winding train tunnels until they eventually come to the station at Orochi Tower.)
  70. Connar: We are almost there, the main floor should be up this..(before he can finish, missiles fly past his face, Connar responds by ducking behind a steel pillar.)
  71. Wakefield: (the four white legs of a tank drone begin to emerge from a closed train tunnel) Destroy me as much as you want! I have countless bodies, because of your treachery I can never Die!
  72. Kenzie:(cuts Wakefield’s monologue short by sending a spell at him.)
  73. Blaise: “More the merrier, Wakefield…. Wait I think I’ve seen this movie. Are you Ultron?”
  74. (As Blaise finishes his quip, a dagger flies past his head, immediately to his left that seems to have come from nowhere, as the white rabbit descends the stairs leading up to Orochi tower.)
  75. Wakefield: (surrounding himself with an electromagnetic shield, the angry frow on the drones white shell begins shooting lasers from its head.)
  76. White Rabbit: (Summoning a blood shield, she draws her sword and takes up an attack stance.)
  77. Blaise: (Balling in close, he attempts to take the white rabbits head off, only to miss her neck by fractions of a millimeter. The white rabbit now seems slower than during their previous encounters.) We really must stop meeting like this.
  78. White Rabbit: (A bead of blood trickling down her neck, the white rabbit brushes her fingers along the wound before sheathing her sword and summoning a pair of red claws to her hands. she seems to call on some unknown force before charging Blaise at full speed.)
  79. Connar: Kenzie, draw his fire for a few seconds but don't kill him otherwise he will just jump into a new body. If I can get behind him, I think I can knock out his wi-fi and keep him from resurrecting.
  80. Kenzie: I’m on it, (switching to her EM AEGIS, she takes aim at Wakefield's legs and begins to fire.)
  81. Wakefield: (Launching another barrage of missiles as, his laser sweeps in Kenzie direction.)
  82. (the battle seems to intensify as more agents join the fight, trying to avoid Wakefield’s missiles and lasers.)
  83. White Rabbit: (pushing Blaise into a corner, she intensifies her attack, striking at him with greater force at a higher frequency.)
  84. Blaise: (Seeming to anticipate her moves before she even makes them, the fight seems to devolve into little more than a well choreographed dance. He feels as though they have had this fight a thousand times before and soon he finds himself blocking her attack without even thinking. As the white rabbits attempts to strike him, Blaise swings his sword at her fist landing the blade between a pair of the red claws and with a quick twist he snaps one of them off, grabbing it mid air as he tries to open her throat with it.)
  85. White Rabbit:(Narrowly dodging Blaise's attack, she drops a smoke bomb and seems to disappear up the stairs into Orochi tower.)
  86. Kenzie: (staying only seconds ahead of the laser, Kenzie keeps firing at Wakefield's legs, until his shield has been depleted. She then charges the tesla coil on top of her shotgun and disintegrates Wakefield's two front legs.)
  87. Wakefield: (Falling forward, arcs of electricity begins to jump from the drone's body as Wakefield prepares to jump into a new Body.) You will all die with this body!
  88. Connar: (Slashing up the drones back and cutting its wifi receiver in half) Not today. (pulling a glowing USB drive from his coat, Connar pushes it into a port where the receiver use to be. As the drive clicks into place, the power seems to drain from Wakefield as his soul is pulled into the drive)
  89. Wakefield: N- (his scream is abruptly cut off as the drone loses power.)
  90. Connar: (panting as he pulls out the USB drive) Everyone alright?
  91. Kenzie: I’m fine.
  92. Blaise: A little upset that my friend ran away, but physically I am still in one piece.
  93. Kate: I’m OK.
  94. Helios: (The priest looked between the others, still the silent guardian holding his vigil from whatever cover he could find whenever violence broke out. He kept their barriers alive, but that was really all he could do. The others seemed to have this, for the most part, under control. Sparing a side-long glance down at Hjarta, he then nodded his reply to Connar. They were fine.)
  95. Hjarta: (looking up at Helios his tongue hanging out of his mouth and tail wagging, he looks like he is having the time of his life.)
  96. Connar: Good, The stairs should take us to the lobby, follow me.
  97. (The agents make their way up the eerily quiet stairs to the lobby of Orochi tower, the unusually high ceiling and the granite floor seem to amplify the ominous hum of the fluorescent lights overhead. As they arrive at the front desk, they are greeted by a single man in suit, patiently drumming his fingers on his arm with an enormous grin on his face.)
  98. Daimon Kiyota: (whistling) Bear Cat, Alley Cat, Sour Puss, Blondy, the choir boy, and all their mutts too, you got a quite the crew here old timer.
  99. Kenzie: What the hell are you doing here!?
  100. Daimon Kiyota: Easy Bear Cat, I am just here waiting for another party to start, just wanted to make sure you didn't wreck the joint before I had my fun.
  101. Connar: Knock it off Daimon, do you have it?
  102. Daimon Kiyota: I got your ticket up stairs right here (holding up a key card between his fingers)
  103. Connar: (snatches the card from his hands) How do I know you’ll honor your word?
  104. Daimon Kiyota: Our interest are still aligned, besides I couldn't find a buyer for mighty mouse.
  105. Connar: (drawing a pistol with supernatural speed and pointing it at Daimon's forehead.)
  106. Daimon Kiyota: (seeming to match Connar’s speed, he draws a pistol from his coat and puts it under Connar’s chin)
  107. Kenzie: (Drawing her shot gun and taking aim at Daimon.)
  108. Kate: (Drawing a pistol and aiming for Daimon’s head.)
  109. Helios: (Frowning with worry at the sudden stand-off, he quietly clenched and unclenched his boney hands at his sides.)
  110. Daimon Kiyota: (burst into laughter) you're the real McCoy aren't you, the oncoming storm, the dragon king from the last generation.
  111. Connar: (glaring at Daimon)
  112. Daimon Kiyota: Relax Johny Walker, I am just razzing ya, without her I lose you and without you I can't pull off this little shindig.
  113. Connar: (holstering his pistol) Kenzie, Blaise, you're with me. Any questions from team 2 before we split up?
  114. Kate: I am set for now.
  115. Helios: No, sir. (He uttered softly, pale eyes shifting between Kate and Connar.)
  116. Connar: Hopefully this isn't the last time we see one another but in the event that it is, Kate it's been an honor. Helios, take care of yourself Lad.
  117. Helios: (The priest nodded his head the slightest bit, lifting a hand to nudge his glasses up his nose.) You too, Mister Green.
  118. Kate:(Staring at Connar in silence for a few seconds, she brings her heels together and solutes.)…it’s been an honor…Don’t do anything stupid.
  119. Connar: No promises.
  120. Tuk: (looking worried at Connar, Kenzie, and Blaise.)
  121. Connar: Don't make that face, we have been in tighter spots than this before, we’ll be back.
  122. Kenzie: (petting the wolf)
  123. Blaise: Scooby snacks on me when we get back.
  124. (opening the elevator to the Board room, Kenzie and Blaise step in behind him as he swipes the key card and the elevator begins its ascent.)
  125. -merging files-
  126.  
  127. Team 1:
  128. (The elevator to the executive board room opens, as a screen on the wall next to them flickers to life.)
  129. Samuel Chandra: (heavy sigh) You are nothing if not determined Dr. Green, while I would gladly be rid of both you and Nicodemus, I am afraid I can not allow this battle to continue. You see, while Nicodemus’s beliefs are misguided, he and his organization have proven to be both a valuable intelligence resource and a windfall to our Research and Development department.
  130. Connar: You have been protecting them so that you can spy on the Templar!?
  131. Samuel Chandra: Not just the Templar, the Illuminati, the Dragon, the phoenicians, the Council, they have agents everywhere, but you already knew that. So you can see you have put me in a bit of a predicament Dr. Green, if I let you proceed you may win and then I lose a valuable asset or you may lose and I may lose my entire investment. Or I could stop this nonsense now and keep both.
  132. Connar: (Shoots the screen with Chandar on it) the doors this way follow me.
  133. Blaise: Boring conversation anyway Doc
  134. Kenzie: (rolls her eyes at Blaise)
  135. (As Connar leads them through the board room, more screens flicker to life with Chandra’s face)
  136. Samuel Chandra:She did it to spite me you know, bringing back Nicodemus. She pulled him out of a dream to help her better understand how they interact with our world and in exchange for his help, she helped him rebuild his army.
  137. Connar: (Shoots another screen with Chandar on it) keep going.
  138. Kenzie: (takes opportunities to shoot at screens along the way)
  139. Blaise: you really hate that guy
  140. Samuel Chandra: I really wish you would stop breaking my monitors.
  141. Connar: (Shoots another screen with Chandar on it.)
  142. (Connar continues to lead them down the hall as another set of screens flickers to life.)
  143. Samuel Chandra: Do you think the loss of your wife and son some how make you unique in this game Dr. Green? That you have some special insight into this world because you have lost the things you love? (Chuckling softly) how naive you “heros” can be, of all the paths that bring people into this world, your is perhaps the most trode upon.
  144. Connar: (Shoots the next three screens)
  145. Samuel Chandra: (over the PA system) my pleas seem to be falling on deaf ears. Perhaps your companions will be more reasonable. Ms. Sterling, Mr. Varedin did you know you are following a terrorist? He has told you what he did during the war with Germany, but has he ever told you what he did before that? Ask him about the Easter uprising and the civil war that followed it, ask him how many of the British he had killed by its end, or better yet ask him what he has in his pack.
  146. Kenzie: “ this Chandra guy annoys me more than Worth and Blaise put together “
  147. Blaise: (to the monitor/PA) “huh? Didn’t hear you. What we’ve done so far… counts as what?“
  148. Connar: it's not important but if you're still interested I’ll explain everything when we’re done. The door should be in this office.
  149. Samuel Chandra: You do me a disservice by comparing me to a amature like Adam Ms. Sterling, alas you have still chosen to ignore my warning and thus you leave me with no choice. The Mitsubachi will show you out.
  150. (As the agents enter the office they are greeted by several other agents in white and black Panoptic Core suits.)
  151. Edge: I am afraid I am going to have to ask you and your associates to leave Dr. Green.
  152. Connar: (holding his ring finger under his thumb he flicks the air in front of Edge and releases a massive anima blast sending the agent flying back into a elevator door. Drawing his sword.) I don't have time to convince you your boss is an asshole, so lets skip the talk and fight it out.
  153. Shieldless: (attempting to take Connar’s head off from behind) Gladly!
  154. Eagle: Doc cover me, while I deal with the girl, Zap deal with the other. (Loading a magazine into an assault rifle, she takes aim at Kenzie and begins to fire.)
  155. Doc: (Casting a blood shield around the agent called Eagle)
  156. Zap: (Channeling lightning through an elemental talisman, he sends it arching towards Blaise)
  157. Kenzie:(rolling out of the way of Eagle's bullets, Kenzie responds by unloading several rounds into Eagle (only a few of which hit her))
  158. Blaise:(dodging the bolts of electricity, he balls in close to Zap and slashes upwards cutting the agent in half)
  159. Connar: (blocking shieldless blade with his pistol, he responds by kicking him in the stomach and sending him across the room.)
  160. (The agent called Eagle is the first to fall followed by Edge and Shieldless. Within seconds of them dying, the Agents remerge from a pair of doors on either side of the elevator leading up to the penthouse , picking up the weapons from their former bodies and continuing the fight.)
  161. Blaise: No fair! that's my trick!
  162. Kenzie: (Wasting no time, she turns to the newly resurrected agents and begins firing)
  163. (The agents of the Mitsubachi are killed again and again, yet every time they are resurrected within seconds and continue to fight as if nothing happened. The battle drags on for what seems like hours, pushing the agent's past the point of exhaustion.)
  164. Kenzie: (Desperately looking for away out she spies a fuse box on the wall. Turning her shotgun on the fuse box, she destroys it and the door the Mitsubachi were coming from snaps shut behind them.) Blaise! brake the box on the other wall!
  165. Blaise: (dodging Shieldless’s sword, he sends a bolt electricity towards the fuse box on the opposite wall, causing the other door to snap shut.)
  166. (As the doors snap shut, another bolt strikes Blaise causing him to collapse. As Kenzie moves to help Blaise, she is cut down by Edge, as Eagle, Shieldless, and Doc push Connar into a corner.)
  167. Zap: (standing over Blaise) End of the line Bee.
  168. Edge: (speaking into a earpiece,) We are almost done Mr. Chandra, Eagle, Shieldless, and Doc, are subduing Dr. Green now, we will take them to research and development and then be back up in 20 minutes.
  169. Connar: (As Connar deflects each incoming attack, he seems to grow faster and faster. His Eyes begin to glow with anima as the Mitsubachi's attacks grow more frequent. As he is pushed to the point of exhaustion, the Mitsubachi are engulfed in a flash of light as a pair of enormous orange wings made of anima erupt from Connar’s back.)
  170. (undeterred by the new power, the agent called Edge rushes forward to try and finish off Connar only to have his head cut from his shoulders. Shieldless’s finds his legs separated from his torso shortly after, while the agent called Eagle seems to dissolve in a wave of fire with the agent called Zap. Finally the agent called doc attempts to flee the office only to have his head explode.)
  171. Connar: (as his eyes return to normal, the anima wings seem to fade behind him as blood begins to trickle from his nose.)
  172. Blaise: (pulling himself up, his smile begins to return) Doc, did you just go Super Saiyan?
  173. Connar: No lad, that was not my final form.
  174. Kenzie: (propping herself up on her gun) What the hell was that!?
  175. Connar: The consequences of a choice I made a long time ago.
  176. (As the agents discuss what just happened, they can hear the Mitsubachi pounding on the closed doors.)
  177. Connar: We don't have a whole lot of time before they break through (pointing at a unassuming metal door on the other side of a set of cubicles.) This is it over here.
  178. Blaise: (Looking disappointed) thats it? no skulls or bones or eldritch symbols?
  179. Connar: That stuffs all on the other side lad. (Opens the metal door and steps through)
  180. Kenzie: (Taking a deep breath she follows Connar.)
  181. Blaise: (whistling I don't want to set the world on fire, he follows Kenzie through the door.)
  182. -merging files-
  183.  
  184. Team 2:
  185. (As Kate, Lula, and Helios, stand outside the tower and turn their gaze to the castle in the sky before turning it back to the horizon, a flock of zero point birds is quickly moving in their direction. While on the other side of the courtyard a small army of security drones is amassing.)
  186. Wilberforce: (Taking up a position in front of the amassing droid army, he begins drawing anima off Lula and increasing in size, until he is large enough to ride.)
  187. Boris:(Taking up a position next to Kate, he looks toward the oncoming flock and begins to growl, as he growls he begins to grow, until he is finally large enough to ride.)
  188. Hjarta: (Seeming to explode to almost 4 times his normal size, Hjarta seizes Helios by the scruff of his neck tosses him up onto his back and begins to charge the oncoming droids.)
  189. Kate: (Summoning the spear to her hand, she pulls herself up on to Boris. She then points her spear at the flock of zero point birds.) Sick’em
  190. (Boris dashes across the courtyard halting at the first of the birds, as it lands Kate spear the creature and tosses it aside as Boris turns around to chase another skimming the yard. Kate draws a pistol and begins firing at its wings, downing it just as Boris passes so she can spare the struggling monster. Kate and Boris continue to round the courtyard dashing through packs of zero point birds and spearing those that get too close. While Kate downs and finishes all the birds that she passes, Boris chases and catches those that get in his way, taking the smaller birds in his mouth and breaking their necks with a quick shake.)
  191. Lula:(Takes up a position -beside- Wilberforce instead of atop him. She eyes the drone army for a few precious seconds to appraise the situation and determine the best approach. The course becomes quickly clear) “Right then, rush them on the left, I’ll take the right. We need to beat them to the edges and split their attention and forces. Good plan?” (Drawing a weapon for the first time Lula produces a pair of bright yellow 3” chain nunchucks) “Splendid, I’ll meet you in the middle darling”
  192. (Dashing toward the bots like a bolt of blond lightning, Lula zigs and zags her way to the right edge of the gathering bots until she can wade into them at one flank while Wilberforce does the same from the opposite one. Croise lashes out at her foes in a seemingly unending burst of whirling mayhem. She strikes at multiple targets at once, with nunchuck, and curled finger “tiger palm”. Both crackle with Animic energy and rend metallic skin as readily as soft human flesh. Once drawn in so close the bots’ firearms are rendered as much a liability as they are an asset)
  193. Helios: (The priest had gasped in clumsy alarm as he was snatched up by the back of his collar and tossed up onto the back of the enormous wolf pup, clinging as best he could to avoid toppling back off again as Hjarta charged forward into the fray.)
  194. (Hjarta charging into the mob of droids, he scoops up a droid in jaws and snaps it in half before knocking another group down with the swipe of the paw, were he not on his back and were others not in danger, Helios might find the behavior cute. As the wolf continues to destroy droids, Helios can feel himself growing stronger, he no longer finds it hard to cling to Hjarta and he seems to be anticipating his movements intuitively.)
  195. (As Lula reaches the edge of the droid army, she can see a flock of zero point pathogen birds that had previously descended on their location, scatter as if they were frightened by something. As Kate, Lula and Helios watch the birds flee, the sky over head seems to darken as the ominous beating of wings grows louder. Suddenly a large black shape falls out of the sky shattering the concrete of the courtyard, the creature that emerges from the crater looks similar to the birds of the zero point pathogen though its much larger than any found in tokyo. With its wings spread its easily 120 meters from tip to tip, its black feathers seem to be made of space itself and on its head is a black dome that seems to be filled with stars.)
  196. Phoenix of the Zero Point Pathogen: (beating its wings as it screeches, it turns its head towards Wilberforce and Lula, before attempting to snatch both of them up in its jaws.)
  197. Lula: (Pauses in her robot slaughter as the shockwave knocks her off her feet, throwing her backward. She rolls backward several yards before finding her feet. She’s forced to bend at the waste and drive her fingers into the ground, leaving deep furrows in the asphalt, to bring herself to a stop. Looking around quickly for Wilberforce she finds her wolf and returns her attention to the gigantic Filth Bird just in time to see it storming toward her.) “Bollocks”.
  198. (Seeming to come from nowhere a black wolf thats at least 60 meters from head to tail latches on to the phoenix's neck.)
  199. Tuk: (latched on to the phoenixes neck, he tries to pull it back into the crater.)
  200. Phoenix of the Zero Point Pathogen: (beating its wings against the big black wolf, its talons begin to scratch and dig into Tuks sides, forcing him back into a fountain in the courtyard.)
  201. Tuk: (Yelping in Pain momentarily, the wolf recovers himself, lunging at the phoenix again and latching on to its wings.)
  202. (As the two giants fight one another, the wolf pups turn their eyes to the phoenix's wings and feet.)
  203. Wilberforce: (A look of alarm spreads across the wolf’s face, as he grabs Lula by the collar of her jacket and tosses her up on to his back. As he rushes towards the phoenix he seems to leap into it.)
  204. (Lula and Wilberforce fall through the blackness of space until finally they arrive at what seems like a what massive wing bone floating in outer space. As they land the bone begins to move up and down as if it were attached to some unseen force.)
  205. Wilberforce: (running toward the end of the bone, he grabs what looks like a black lump of flesh and begins to pull.)
  206. Lula: (The spear from the outer dark rematerializes in her hand and without thinking she thrust it into the black flesh of the creature.)
  207. (The space around Lula, begins to recede as the wolves carry them back to the court yard where they find the Phoenix of the zero point pathogen unable to flaps its wings.)
  208. Phoenix of the Zero Point Pathogen: (hopping along the ground, it periodically jumps up trying slash at Tuk with its talons.)
  209. Lula: (Sliding off of Wilberforce’s back she begins to laugh out loud) “Wait..wait...I want to see if I can make this one lucid. Jared Leto will be rubbing my feet shortly.”
  210. Wilberforce: (charging the Phoenix of the Zero Point Pathogen he locks on to the bird's leg and begins pulling it in the opposite direction.)
  211. Boris: (Shaking Kate from his back, he charges the Phoenix of the Zero Point Pathogen and grabs the other leg.)
  212. Hjarta: (charging the Phoenix of the Zero Point Pathogen (with Helios still on his back) he leaps through the air bits down on the bird's domed crest)
  213. Tuk: (pulling down the Bird neck, he rips open its throat causing filth to spill out over the courtyard.)
  214. (As the phoenix of the zero point pathogen collapses, the wolves throw back their heads and begin to howl in triumph before pulling the bird apart. As the agents watch the wolves pull the phoenix apart, they can feel the air around them growing colder. Tuk looking up from the phoenix puts his ears back and begins to growl before shrinking and running back over to Kate and the other agents, before the other wolves can join him, a breach opens next to the body of the phoenix. Out of the darkness steps a tall man in a black and red Templar coat with an enormous black hammer swung over his shoulder, his shaved head and gray beard seem to draw attention to his cold black eyes. Yet the most unsettling thing about him is the sternness in his face, simply looking at him seems to instill dread in even the bravest agents.)
  215. Nicodemus: I had hoped that the Guardian would be your end, but it appears I will simply have to see to it myself.
  216. Boris: (Guarding Kate while growling)
  217. Kate:(Readying her spear as she steps out in front of Boris.)
  218. (As Kate and Boris take a defender's stance, a breach opens up behind them pulling them into the blackness of the outer dark.)
  219. Lula: (Just stares at the daunting figure before the group) “I’m trying to decide if I want to down him or shag him.” (She looks down at Wilberforce) “Both? In what order though? Any thoughts?”
  220. Wilberforce:(Looks back at her her blankly. His expression the universal look of “Really?”)
  221. Helios: (The priest stared at the familiar form of Nicodemus, his frown tugging at the corners of his mouth as he stroked Hjarta’s neck from where he was perched on the great white beast’s back.)
  222. Hjarta:(Allowing Helios to slid off his back, he steps out in front of Tuk, the fur on his neck brisling as he growls.)
  223. Tuk: (Stepping in front the agents Tuk stairs at Nicodemus as he growls.)
  224. Nicodemus: I see the god of the trailers has come to avenge Smiling Crow
  225. Wilberforce: (Sliding up to Tuk while baring his teeth.)
  226. Hjarta: (growling as he steps away from Helios)
  227. Nicodemus: And you have brought your misbegotten brood with you.
  228. Tuk: (leaping forward he attempts to bite Nicodemus)
  229. (Before Tuk's jaws can close around the templars neck, a hammer strikes the side of his head and sends him across the battlefield.)
  230. Nicodemus: (seeming to teleport next to the wounded wolf, he bring his hammer down on his knee, before striking him again in the ribs and sending him crashing into a near by building.)
  231. Hjarta: (Charging from behind, he attempts to bite down on Nicodemus's neck)
  232. Nicodemus: (Flipping the charging wolf, he turns and strike the wolf in his side and sends him flying across the courtyard.)
  233. Wilberforce: (Charging Nicodemus head on, his jaws open, ready to snap shut.)
  234. Nicodemus: (swinging his hammer upward, striking the wolf in the belly and sending him flying backwards.)
  235. Lula: (Clutching the spear in her hands she extends it two thirds its full length and walks steadily forward making the sharpened tip dance and a circle and swirl and dart before her in classic Chinese spear style. The sharpened tip of the spear begins to strike in targeted bursts like a viper under her command)
  236. Nicodemus:(Holding his hand out in front of him, Lula's spear shatters as he temporarily disappears only to reappear centimeters from her face. Grabbing her by the throat, he lifts Lula off the ground.)
  237. Lula: (Chokes and hacks. Her left foot rises and snaps a kick into the towering man’s face. Her foot could be composed of Nerf for all the effect it manages)
  238. Nicodemus: Your footwork says you were trained at temple hall, the way you held the spear says Ordo Obscurus. (Looking her over carefully) I see Connar managed to drag the remedial Templar into this fight, regardless you will be shown no mercy.
  239. Lula: (struggling to free herself, she can feel frostbite beginning to set in around her neck.)
  240. (Throwing Lula to the ground, Nicodemus raises his hammer and prepares to deliver the finishing blow. Suddenly Tuk emerges from the shadow cast by Nicodemus, biting down on the Templar's neck and pulling him backward. Hjarta charges him from the side knocking the Templar off balance as Wilberforce runs to Lula’s aid grabbing her by the collar of her jacket and pulling her out of harm’s way.)
  241. Wilberforce: (dropping Lula by the steps of Orochi tower, he quickly turns and runs to rejoin the battle.)
  242. Nicodemus: (Summoning an anima blast, he frees himself of the wolves grasp, taking up his hammer again he moves to finish Tuk before being engulfed in a beam of Blue light.)
  243. Yuuko: (over com) Team 2 return to the tower, I’ll take it from here. (Loading another round into her third age sniper rifle Yukko fires another shot at Nicodemus’s head.)
  244. Nicodemus: (emerging from the Blue light unscathed, he turns in Yuuko's direction. Before he can move towards her, Nicodemus is struck by a green lightning bolt from the sky. Turning his gaze skyward, he spies Emma floating towards the agents.)
  245. Emma: Lay another hand on them and I shall raze everything from here to Dublin.
  246. Nicodemus: The longevity of witches never seizes to amaze me, a shame it ends now (slamming his hammer into the ground a series of molten spikes shoot through the ground piercing everything in their path.)
  247. Emma: (Dodging one spike, she is hit by another,opening a large wound on her arm and causing her to fall to earth. Panting as she struggles to pull herself to her feet.) I wasn't afraid of you when you came for me with the brown and tans and I am not afraid of you now.
  248. Nicodemus: Then you are not only weak but stupid (Bringing his hammer down on the old woman, he is blinded by a flash of light as a katana blocks his strike)
  249. Gozen: (Standing between Nicodemus and Emma, her blade pushes back against the hammer.) A truly evil man is no better than a demon. (pushing him back as she takes up an attack stance.)
  250. Nicodemus: (a sinister smile spreads across his face)出る杭は打たれる。
  251. (Before he can engage Gozen, a Templar helicopter buzzes overhead peppering the battlefield with gunfire. At the same time Yuuko begins raining down another series of energy blast as Emma recovers enough to cast another series of lightning strikes, as Gozen continues to strike at him while Tuk, Hjarta, and Wilberforce herd him away from the wounded agents.)
  252. Nicodemus: ENOUGH! (dropping his hammer he raises his hands causing blue fire to rise from the ground.)
  253. (the towering infernos engulf the helicopter overhead as Tuk and the other wolves are swallowed by the flames.)
  254. Gozen: (sticking her blade in the ground she casts a shield protecting Emma from the flames.)
  255. Helios: (having been overwhelmed by the chaos around him, he feels his throat beginning to dry as time seems to slow down. A sharp pain shoots up his back as the taste of honey floods his mouth and he begins to scream.)
  256. (The sound of the screaming priest catches Nicodemus's attention, as a pair of enormous orange wings erupte from his back, breaking into bands of anima weaving their way through the battlefield healing injured agents and wolves and drawing them into a protective barrier.)
  257. Nicodemus: The wings of mercy, impressive...But ultimately futile.(Clenching his fist, he summons all of the blue fire on the battlefield to his fist as he prepares a final attack.)
  258. (overhead the sound of thunder rings out as a bright light appears over the castle in the sky. The top of the castle seems to be being slowly consumed by the light.)
  259. Nicodemus: (looking up in horror) NO!, it will not end this way! (opening a breach in front of him he exits the battlefield to deal with the rapidly unfolding emergency.)
  260. Helios: (collapsing to the ground in exhaustion, the protective wings vanish leaving only the stabilized agents and wolves.)
  261. Lula: (Surveying the destroyed courtyard, she spies Wilberforce collapsed next to his injured father. Dropping the shattered remains of her spear, she sprints across the charred ruins of the court yard and scoops the injured pup up in her arms, clutching him to her chest.) “You daft little shite. What on earth were you thinking huh? Stupid stupid stupid stupid.” (There is no fury in her words, only hurt masked in blunt accusation)
  262. (in the distance the agents can see men and women in white uniforms approaching the yard, accompanied by Jingu and Korinto-kai soldiers. Overhead the castle in the sky seem to begins slowly falling to earth.)
  263.  
  264. The outer dark:
  265. (The breach spits Kate and Boris out on a desolate gray plane overlooking a dying star at the edge of the galaxy. Standing across from them is Worth dressed in a new Templar uniform with a black blade on his hip that seems to be whispering eldritch truths.)
  266. Worth: Be grateful for the extra time I have granted you, as your friends are already dead. I have brought you to this place because I wish to crush you with my full strength and the lord commander was kind enough to grant me this honor.
  267. Kate:(Pulling herself to her feet, she readies her spears)You have lost every encounter so far and you’ll lose this one too. Everything you have done has been for nought and soon Third Sunday will be nothing.
  268. Boris: (Snapping at Worth as he begins trying to circle around behind him)
  269. Worth: Words are all you have left, Dr. Green will be dead within the hour, the agents who were foolish enough to follow him will be dead within the next 20 minutes. Now witness my ascent, (Worth draws the sword and rams it through his stomach, as he collapses to the ground as a bead of a black substances trickles down his forehead. Suddenly his head burst open as a swarm of black bees fly out and a pair of blue wings emerge from his back. His arms begin to elongate as his flesh grows pale and his legs are replaced by tentacles dangling below his torso. As the Blue wings lift him into the air, he draws a new black blade from his stomach and turns his gaze towards Kate.)
  270. Worth: Draw your weapon (he suddenly charges Kate, attempting to snatch her up with his tentacles.)
  271. Boris: (lunging forward, he locks on to Worth's arm and attempts to pull him down.)
  272. Worth: (flinging the wolf aside, he charges forward attempting to cut Kate in half.)
  273. Kate: (jumping back, she rushes forward and attempts to put her spear through Worth's heart.)
  274. Worth: (pulling his blade back, he raises one tentacle to block Kate and uses another to strike her, sending her across the Battlefield.)
  275. Kate: (tucking and rolling she quickly pushes herself back on her feet, while searching the battlefield for Boris.)
  276. Boris: (circling around Worth, he rushes towards Kate)
  277. Kate: (grabbing the passing Wolf's fur she pulls herself up onto his back, before drawing a pistol and taking aim at Worth's heart.)
  278. Worth: Your bullets are useless, even if you could draw enough anima to harm me, I would regenerate with in seconds. (Plunging a pair of tentacles into the ground they snake through the dirt before erupting just inches from Boris’s neck.)
  279. Boris: (stopping only inches from the tentacles, he pulls back before trying to circle around Worth on the other side.)
  280. (upon closer inspection Kate can see that the tentacles are covered in razor like scales.)
  281. Kate:(holstering her pistols, she takes up her spear again.) Other way Boris.
  282. Boris: (reverses direction, moving in front of Worth.)
  283. Worth: (Fading from sight, he materializes in front of the wolf and slashes upward attempting to Cut Boris in two.)
  284. Boris: (Pulling back, the blade cuts him across his snout but he is otherwise unharmed.)
  285. Kate: (leaping from Boris’s back, she puts her spear through Worth's abdomen.)
  286. Worth:(tentacle's retracting into his abdomen to form a pair of legs he falls to the ground screaming.)
  287. Kate: (Approaching Worth cautiously preparing to deliver the final blow, at the last minute she turns and blocks a series of tentacles erupting from the ground next to her)
  288. Worth: I see you remember our fight in Chiba.
  289. Kate: (knocking back the tentacles, she charges Worth only to have him parry her strike.)
  290. (The Battle continues in this manner for what seems like hours, Kate attempting to breach the seemingly endless walls of tentacles around Worth, and Worth trying hit a constantly moving target. Borise does what he can to keep the constantly sprouting tentacles under control, but the sheer intensity of the battle begins to weigh on both Kate and Boris.)
  291. Kate: (near the point of exhaustion she spies Boris silently moving behind Worth preparing to pounce, remembering how Tuk had saved them with this tactic on multiple occasions, she begins moving in close to Worth trying to draw his attention.)
  292. Worth:(Balling in close, he begins slashing at her spear, each strike seems to be slower than last and aimed for center of Kate's spear instead of at Kate herself.)
  293. Kate: (Dodging each of Worth's strikes, attempting not to look at the wolf creeping into position behind him.)
  294. (As Boris leaps through air, his jaws opened prepared to bite down on Worth's neck, Kate moves back prepared to charge.)
  295. Worth:(a sinister smile spreads across his face as he moves to the side.)
  296. Boris: (Snapping his jaws on empty air, a razor encrusted tentacle shoots from the ground pierces the wolf's stomach.)
  297. Worth: (His tentacle wrapping around the impaled wolf, he flings Boris at Kate's feet.) Now that there is no one left for you to protect, I expect you to stop holding back.
  298. Kate: (rushing forward without regard for her own safety she sprints past the the rows of tentacles and tries to put her spear through Worth's jaw.)
  299. Worth: (pulling back ever so slightly, he dodges the spear blow and grabs Kate by the arm, sprouting a series of spikes on his free fist and forearm, he attempts to strike her head only to miss it by inches hitting her shoulder and shattering it in the process.)
  300. Kate:(ignoring the pain, she draws one of her pistols and fires several rounds into Worth's chest, before striking him in the head with the butt of the gun repeatedly. In her frenzy, Kate fails to see the tentacle wrapped around her ankle.)
  301. (the tentacle yanks her away from worth and hurls her across the battlefield and into nearby rock causing pieces of it to collapse on her.)
  302. Worth:(approaching Kate.) This has been a disappointment, while you have improved substantially from our first encounter you are still years, perhaps even centuries away from being an adequate warrior and in many ways you are emblematic of what the Templar have become. No longer are we warrior's prepared to sacrifice all to defeat the darkness, you are instead a parody of some insipid fiction that believes that darkness will some how allow you to keep your honor. You believe that all of humanity can be saved on its own merits, when the truth is as plain as the dying sun this world orbits, those who are worthy must be uplifted into the embrace of the one true god and those who are weak must die. (Pointing his sword at Kate.)
  303. Kate: (spitting in Worth's direction.) The Doctor Doom bull shit got old years ago.
  304. Worth: (kicking Kate across the battlefield.) And you are ungrateful for the few extra moments I have granted you. I tire of you and your insolences Kate Michaels now die. (as Worth prepares to take Kate’s head off, he is attacked from behind Boris, who grabs his sword arm and pulls him back from Kate.)
  305. Kate: (her vision blurring, she can a see pair of yellow eyes in front of her.)
  306. Boris: (speaking in a voice that sounds like an animals imitation of human speech) He can not be allowed to live, if he leaves this place he will grow in power until he is more powerful than the god slayer himself. Take what is left of my life force and end this battle before it is too late!
  307. Kate: (as the voice fades, Kate can feel anima welling up inside her, her wounds are closing and the spear flies across the battlefield into her hand. As she looks at Worth, she can feel a sharp pain shoot up her back as the taste of honey floods her mouth, as pair of Orange wings eurpt from her Back and the spear in her hand takes on a new Golden glow.)
  308. Worth: (freeing himself of the wolf and flinging him across the battlefield) Finally you decided to stop holding back, die! (Blade extended he rises up off the ground on his own blue wings and charges forward towards Kate.)
  309. Kate: (rising above worth, She hurls the spear at him.)
  310. (the light engulfing the spear seems to take the shape of a wolf as it pierces Worth’s heart and causes him to dissolve in an explosion of golden light. The only thing that remains of the transformed Templar is a skull and a necklace of rings that he was apparently wearing.)
  311. Kate: (floating back to the ground, she staggers forward, holding her side, trying to keep her eyes open. Looking down at the skull, she can't help but kick it aside before picking up the necklace. She then casts her eyes in the direction of Boris’s corpse, she tries to walk in his direction but finds she no longer has the strength. As she collapses, she looks at the dead wolf pup mouthing the words “I am sorry”)
  312. (As Kate collapses she can hear the sound of flapping wings in the distance. Two women with golden wings in plate armor descend from the black sky over Boris’s body. Taking the little wolf into their arms they tie a glowing ribbon around the wolf's neck which transforms into a collar before ascending back into the sky.)
  313. Kate: (trying to reach for the disappearing figures she tries to scream for them but can't find the strength.)
  314. (while she was reaching for the winged figure she did not hear the stranger approach her from behind. Towering over her is a winged woman in golden armor with hair like beaten copper, holding the spear she had used to defeat Worth.)
  315. Nephilim: Well fought warrior, I look forward to the day when you join us, but it is not yet your time. (Pointing the spear at Kate) Go now and return to your world.
  316. (as Kate looks up at the spear, she falls through a tunnel of light landing back in the scorched court yard of Orochi tower.)
  317. Kate: (rolling over on to her side, she can hear two thuds to her right, looking over she can see Kenzie and Blaise, turning their attention to the sky. As Kate looks up she can see the sides of the castle in the sky burst into flames as a rift in the sky opens over it.) Don't fuck this up Connar.
  318. -merging files-
  319.  
  320. Third Sunday HQ:
  321. (As the agents open the door, they find themselves at the center of a tower with a seemingly infinite number of levels over head. Each level of the tower is lined with hundreds of doors of every shape and size imaginable, leading to countless points all over the world. As they stare up into the tower, they can see an immensely bright light overhead, yet the tower still somehow remains dark.)
  322. Connar: (Dropping his pack on the ground he pulls out a pair of silver cylinders and plugs his smart phone into one. After tapping the screen several times the red LED display on the side of the cylinder reads armed. He repeats this process for the other cylinder.) Good news bad news time, first the good news the hard part is over we are inside their HQ, the bad news is that they know we are up here so we are going to have to act fast.
  323. Blaise: (Looking over the cylinder, his smile fades as he realizes what they are) Doc, I love chaos as much as the next guy but don't you think those are overkill?
  324. Connar: If anything I think it may not be enough, it's going to take a lot to knock this thing out of the sky.
  325. Kenzie: I am almost scared to ask, but what kind of bombs are those?
  326. Blaise: Those are the cores for a W88 thermonuclear warhead.
  327. Kenzie: What!?
  328. Connar: They won't affect the city, the castle should be strong enough to contain the blast, and the force should be enough to knock it out of the sky and clear it of any surviving agents.
  329. Kenzie: (Sighing) how long do we have after we set them?
  330. Connar: 10 minutes, these should help you get out quickly though (tosses a pair of white Agartha conduits to Kenzie and Blaise.) Same setup as before, hit the button on top to open a portal, only this one will take you to the courtyard of Orochi tower instead of agartha. Set the devices at the end of either of those hallways and then head back to the court yard, I will meet you there.
  331. Kenzie: What are you going to do while we are setting the nukes?
  332. Connar: (Pointing up) you see that light, it's not a light it's a rift in space, it powers all of these doors and allows them to open and close rifts wherever they want. Once I close it they won't be able to move about freely any more and more importantly, Nicodemus will come running to stop me. So is everyone ready for one last push?
  333. Kenzie: Ready as ever.
  334. Blaise: This is going to be fun.
  335. Kenzie and Blaise (lower levels of Third Sunday HQ):
  336. (As Kenzie and Blaise make their way to the north end of the lower level they encounter Dr. West on the other side of a bullet proof window, packing up her lab and preparing to flee through an open door.)
  337. Kenzie: (firing an anima charged round into the window in an attempt to break it.)
  338. Blaise: (humming I don't want to set the world on fire as he busy himself with attaching the bomb to a near by wall.)
  339. Dr. West: (Sighing) as much as I would love to stay and put you in your place dear, I am afraid my time at Third Sunday Operations has come to an end and thus I am no longer obligated to fight you.
  340. Kenzie: (not paying attention to the old woman's taunts, she continues to try and break the glass.)
  341. Blaise: (Smiling as he approaches the glass) Say it ain't so Doc, who will make monsters for us to kill now?
  342. Dr. West: I am sure you will manage Mr. Varedin and I have no doubt we will meet again. But it's time for me to move on, my opportunities here are limited and frankly I think they have a bit of a sexism problem.
  343. Blaise: You think so? is that why Harry kept looking at my butt.
  344. Kenzie: Quit bantering and help me break this window!
  345. Dr. West: (rolling her eyes as she whistles.)
  346. (out of the shadows crawls a rat-like creature with a human-like face about the size of a large house Cat.)
  347. Dr. West: Come along browni it's time to go
  348. Browni: (climbing up on to Dr. West shoulder, the creatures raises its human like hand and points a bony middle finger at Kenzie and Blaise as it titters to itself.)
  349. Dr. West: (Opening a door in the lab Dr. West pulls through a bag of wheeled luggage before shutting the door behind her.)
  350. Kenzie: Dame It!
  351. Blaise: (patting Kenzie on the shoulder) Don't worry, we will kill her some other time, in the mean time we still have another bomb to plant.
  352. Kenzie: This whole detonating a nuclear warhead thing is making you way too happy.
  353. Blaise: (cheshire grin spreading across his face) I won't lie, it is.
  354. (As Kenzie and Blaise make their way to the northern end of the lower levels to plant the final bomb, the hall begins to fill with the sound of the sleepless Lullaby)
  355. Kenzie: (cocking her shot gun) Hang back, I think we are being lead into a trap.
  356. Blaise: (drawing his sword, he ducks down a hallway.) ”I’d be disappointed if we weren’t”
  357. (As Kenzie moves down the hall she can hear the lullaby growing louder until finally she comes to the junction where it seems to be coming from.)
  358. Kenzie: (pressed up against a wall opposite the hallway where the lullaby is coming from, she takes a deep breath before turning the corner and firing several shots into the darkness, when she hits nothing, she quickly turns around again and fires several more shots, again she hits only darkness. As she turns around again, a green sphere ensnares her.)
  359. Lilith: (stepping out of the darkness) here we are again sewer rat, you trapped by magic and me with your life in my hands. Don't worry though if I wanted to kill you I would have done it when you entered Joseph's little play house. (Pacing in front of the sphere) I feel I should probably start with an apology, it's been a difficult time for me, my husband and I have been arguing. He believes my research is misguided and he blames me for Tokyo.
  360. Kenzie: (looking past Lilith, she can see Blaise moving into position.) Is there a reason your telling me this.
  361. Lilith: (eyeing Kenzie carefully) Despite what you may think am not a heartless monster (lowering the sphere, she releases Kenzie.) Samale is correct I am at least partially to blame for Tokyo, though I could reverse it.
  362. Kenzie: (Looking skeptically at Lilith) really?
  363. Lilith: I could and would, but I need two things, a working Gaia engine and Emma. You denied me Emma and prevented me from fixing this mess, but you have a chance to help remedy that mistake now. If there is one thing you are good at Sewer Rat its finding things, bring me Emma and I will cleanse tokyo of the filth.
  364. Kenzie: And why should I believe you would keep your word or that you could even do what you say you can.
  365. Lilith: You doubt my abilities?
  366. Kenzie: I doubt your sincerity. The minute I give you Emma you’d kill me and use her to unleash hell.
  367. Lilith: Please, I have no interest in a destroyed plane of existence, my ambitions are so much larger than hell.
  368. Kenzie: That was a figure of speech but my point stands, you don't care about Tokyo or anything else for that matter, go fuck yourself.
  369. (Lilith Summons a anima charge to her fist, but as she prepares to fire it, Blaise charges out of the darkness and attempts to take her hand off with one swing. Before he can reach her though his strike is intercepted by another Blade)
  370. Blaise: (turning his head he is greeted by the button eyes and buck teeth of the white rabbit.) I was wondering when you were going to come back.
  371. (Before Blaise can counter, he narrowly dodges a bullet fired from behind him. Another woman wearing a rabbit head emerges from the darkness, whose then joined by another, this one wielding a pair of swords. Blaise is now surrounded by all three of the white rabbit assassins.)
  372. Lilith: You started a fight with each of them and then refused to commit to any of them. They have been heartbroken ever since Mr. Varedin.
  373. Blaise: I’m sorry if anyone got the wrong idea but I am kind of a one nemesis kind of..(before he could finish the white rabbit on his left charged him and attempted to cut his arm off.)
  374. (the white rabbit behind him falls back and begins covering the hallway in suppressing fire while the white rabbit on his right begins to drain him of strength with a blood curse.)
  375. Blaise: (Dodging the hail of bullets, he lands a kick in the stomach of the white rabbit casting the curse before returning to his fight with the rabbit with the swords.)
  376. White rabbit: (blocking Blaise’s attack her sisters flank him from both directions pressing him into a corner.)
  377. Blaise: (Frantically trying to dodge each of the sisters attacks, while blocking each blade strike. A unseen kick from the side sends him tumbling to the ground, as the sisters move into finish him off, A sharp pain shoots up his back as the taste of honey floods his mouth. Suddenly a pair of orange wings burst from his back, as a surge of anima knocks back the white rabbits.)
  378. (the sheer force of the blast knocks the rabbit head off of the sister holding the two swords.)
  379. White rabbit: (feeling her face, she suddenly realizes she has been unmasked, she drops one of her swords feeling her face in a panic. Covering her face with one hand she lets out ear piercing scream before rushing the newly transformed Blaise.)
  380. Blaise: (beating his wings he pushes the other two sisters away from Lilith as he blocks the oncoming sister and knocks her back with the others.)
  381. (As Blaise deals with the rabbit assassins, Kenzie deals with Lilith)
  382. Kenzie: (firing several rounds at Lilith only to have them stopped by a barrier, she retreats around a corner and begins digging through her pack for the music box.)
  383. Lilith: (casually strolling the halls) If this is the full extent of your strength, then perhaps I should have asked someone else.
  384. Kenzie: (pulling out the strange music box and winding it up) hope this works.
  385. (Moving out from around the corner, Kenzie opens the box only to have it begin playing the sleepless lullaby and nothing else).
  386. Kenzie: (hitting the box) Damn it where’s the barrier?
  387. Lilith: (waving a hand she sends Kenzie flying back into a wall. As she draws a black dagger from her jacket. Calmly strolling over to Kenzie, she smiles as she prepares to deliver a finishing blow.)
  388. (suddenly the song from the music box stops and a orange rift opens behind them, as a red band appears around lilith's neck)
  389. Lilith: (turning around, she sees an old woman in a burning lab reading from a book on the other side of the rift.) Eva?
  390. Eva: Lilith, screech owl, I bind you, by your seventeen names I bind you.
  391. (as the old woman recites the spell, red shackles appear around Lilith's wrists and ankles as a spell book appears in front of Kenzie.)
  392. Eva: Abeko. Abito. Amizo. Batna. Eilo. Ita. Izorpo. Kea. Kali. Odam. Kokos. Partasah. Patrota. Podo. Satrina. Talto. Lilith.
  393. (each name seems to constrain her more and more as the old woman reads.)
  394. Eva: Hurry, finish the incantation.
  395. Kenzie: (trying her best to phonetically sound out the spell)
  396. שמש עולה תזרח לנצח
  397. כל הכח שלך חזק כמו פלדה
  398. להפוך את הדף ולחפש אין מושיע
  399. להשתחרר ולראות
  400. הקו באמצעות הגלגל
  401. (As Kenzie finishes the incantation, the red shackles seem to pull Lilith into some unseen prison causing her to disappear.)
  402. Eva: (looking at Kenzie as a large metal beam falls behind her) I am sorry about the song (with those final words the rift snaps shut.)
  403. Kenzie: (the music box now appears to be broken, searching her pack, she takes out the final war head attaches it to the wall and activates it.) got to get out of...
  404. (Before she can finish her thought the space in front of her splits open and a pair of hands shoot out around her neck.)
  405. Lilith: I am sure you thought that was funny, let me show you what I think is funny (she begins tightening her grip around Kenzies throat.)
  406. Kenzie: (as she feels herself losing consciousness, A sharp pain shoots up her back as the taste of honey floods her mouth. Her vision clears as a pair of orange wings erupt from her back and throw Lilith back against the wall)
  407. Lilith: (throwing up a barrier she prepares another anima blast.)
  408. Kenzie: (folding her wings around herself to create shield, she loads another round of shells and begins firing.)
  409. (the shotguns shells now appear to be doubly charged with anima as they chip away at Lilith’s shield. As the battle between the two unfolds, Blaise comes running from the opposite direction, his face covered in blood, the screaming of the rabbit sisters in the distance.)
  410. Kenzie: (looking at Blaise from behind her wings) what the hell did you do!?
  411. Blaise: Doesn't matter we got about three minutes to get out of here. (Tossing one of the white Agartha conduits at Kenzie.)
  412. Kenzie: (Looking at the bomb behind them. Her eyes go wide as she realizes that he’s right. As she turns her gaze back to Lilith she can see her wings evaporating.) Shit, did yours disappear too?
  413. Blaise: yep (hitting the top of the conduit Blaise disappears in a flash of light.)
  414. Kenzie: (dodging an incoming anima blast from Lilith Kenzie hits the button on top of the conduit, before being blinded by flash of white light. As her eyes readjust to the light outside of the castle, she sees the destruction of team two's battle.) What happened here.
  415. Blaise: (wiping the blood from his face) I don't know, but I am kinda of upset I missed it.
  416. (As Kenzie and Blaise turn their attention to the sky they can see the sides of the castle burst into flames as a rift in the sky opens over it.)
  417. Blaise: (his cheshire grin spreading across his face) I think doc is almost done.
  418.  
  419. Connar (upper levels of Third Sunday HQ):
  420. (making his way up the levels of the castle Connar arrives at the source of the light, a tear in the fabric of space and time. Surrounding the light is a series of black crystals channeling anti anima into the tear, the crystals themselves seem to be featureless, though it is difficult to tell due to the intensity of the light coming from the tear.)
  421. Connar: (switching out his normal glasses for pair of welders goggles, he carefully examines the crystals, finding tick marks along the axis.) Simple focusing mechanism, just need to adjust a few degrees and then the whole thing should shut...question is which way do I turn it?
  422. (tilting the crystal nearest him forward, the tear suddenly increases exponentially swallowing the ceiling above it.)
  423. Connar: Ok...that didn't work. (Tilting the crystal back to its original position the breach continues to increase in size, albeit more slowly), All right don't panic, we can fix this the harmony is just off, all I need to do is realign one of the other crystal to offset the increases in the anti animas frequency. (As he searches for the crystal opposite the one he adjusted, he can see another shatter and vanishes into the tear.) Going to have to do this quick.
  424. (As Connar begins to run for the crystal on the opposites side of the tear, a hammer seems to come from nowhere striking him in the chest and sending him flying into the breach. He lands on a barren Alien world engulfed in a painful bright light, the sky seems to be moving around him as rocks and dust seem to float upwards.)
  425. Connar: (Suddenly having trouble breathing, he notices that is skin is beginning to burn, he casts a barrier around himself restoring his ability to breath and shielding himself from the intense light.)
  426. (crashing down through the tear and rising in a cloud of steam Nicodemus approaches Connar, hammer in hand with an angry scowl on his face.)
  427. Nicodemus: Once again, I return to save this wretched world from itself, once again, salvation is within their grasp and ONCE AGAIN! you some how manage to cock it up! (swinging his hammer at Connar's head.)
  428. Connar: (ducking out of the oncoming hammers way, he pulls a pistol from his coat and fires several rounds into Nicodemus's stomach.)
  429. (the bullets are stopped by a barrier inches from Nicodemus, as they hang in space, the cases begin to glow with anima before exploding and piercing his barrier. )
  430. Connar: (drawing his sword, he thrusts blade up through the barriers hole and runs Nicodemus through.)
  431. Nicodemus: (Unphased by the blade in his gut, he strikes Connar in the face sending him flying across the battlefield. Raising a hand, he summons a torrent of blue fire from the other side of the tear and sends it charging towards Connar.)
  432. Connar: (Ducking behind a boulder, he is shielded from the brunt of the fire but the barrier protecting him from the intense heat and light has been substantially weakened.)
  433. Nicodemus: (teleporting just centimeters away from Connar, he draws his own sword and slashes him up the middle.)
  434. Connar: (jumping back and avoiding the full force of the strike. Bleeding profusely, he finds it hard to regenerate and begins keeping his distance. Drawing his other pistol he fires another 6 shots at Nicodemus, again the bullets are stopped and again they explode.)
  435. Nicodemus:(waiting a fraction of a second he turns around and brings his hammer down behind him)
  436. Connar: (crossing the two empty pistols together he manages to block the hammer strike.)
  437. Nicodemus: (bringing his knee up into Connar Stomach, he sends him flying across the battlefield.) You can not defeat me Connar, I am still more powerful than you could ever possibly imagine. You could be a thousand times faster, a thousand times stronger, a thousand times more intelligent and you could still never defeat me!
  438. Connar: (Teleporting behind Nicodemus and tries to take his head off only to be block by the neck of his hammer.)
  439. Nicodemus: (Driving his sword through Connar shoulder, he strikes him in his side with his hammer.)
  440. Connar: (Once again he is knocked across the battlefield, but this time he can not find the strength to pick himself back up.)
  441. Nicodemus: (swinging his hammer over his shoulder) yet again, you have failed Connar, just like you failed your family and smiling crow, and the dragon child, the officers of the IRA and the prisoners of Sobibor, all of them paid the price for your stupidity and arrogance and now you have lead at least 5 good agent to their deaths. For years I have dreamt of shattering your skull with my hammer, but perhaps I will merely crush your heart and bring your head back to your comrades, so that they can witness your final failure before they die.
  442. Connar: (his eyes begin to turn orange as anima begins to well up inside him, the force of which lifts him off the ground as a pair of enormous orange wings erupt from his back) This is far from over Nicodemus.
  443. Nicodemus: Ophanim of the Celestial... an impressive ability but I am afraid it is not nearly enough. (swinging his hammer at Connar's head, the blow is block by Connar's sword.)
  444. Connar: Ophanim of the Celestial is not the only trick I have up my sleeve. (Pointing his sword at Nicodemus is eyes begin to turn Green as his wings turn to spirals, planting themselves in the ground and drawing anima from the environment. ) Claíomh na Spéartha! (charging Nicodemus, he brakes his barrier with one swing. Striking at him repeatedly the templar his unable to keep up. As his fore arms are cut to the bone, Nicodemus is forced to the edge of the battlefield.)
  445. Nicodemus: (A sudden surge of anti anima wells up inside him resulting in a pair of Blue wings erupting from his back.) I retract my statement, I will gladly smash your head!
  446. (The two agents clash again and again, with every piercing strike of Connar’s sword and Crushing blow from Nicodemus’s hammer, the two agents grow weaker and yet more determined to obliterate one another. All the while they fail to notice the tear closing behind them.)
  447. Connar: (from the corner of his eye he observes the sky, noting the changing intensity of light as debris seems to move up towards the brightest spot in the sky. Only then does he realise that they must be near the center of the galaxy. He then notice the closing tear behind them.)
  448. (the two agents pushed to edge of exhaustion settle at the edges of the battlefield.)
  449. Connar: (The spirals that had powered Connar's attack dissipate as the last bit of anima is drained from the alien world.)
  450. Nicodemus: (a sinister smile spreads across his face, as he begins to regenerate.) You are out of tricks Irish man.
  451. Connar: (turning his gaze towards the column of rising debris behind Nicodemus, he summons all of his remaining strength for one final attack. Charging his sword he rushes forward one last time, dodging the falling hammer and striking Nicodemus in the chest hard enough to lift him off the ground and into the column of debris behind them.)
  452. (as Connar collapses near the quickly shrinking tear, he turns his eyes toward the column to see Nicodemus hovering in the air.)
  453. Nicodemus: It is truly over, now die (as he attempts to rush forward, he finds himself being pulled back slowly towards the sky unable to move forward. He frantically tries to free himself of the invisible tide pulling ever him further into the burning sky.) What sort of sorcery is this!?
  454. Connar: (moving towards the vanishing tear, his face covered in blood , his left eye almost swollen shut and barely able to carry the weight of his own sword, a smile creeps across his face.) That's not sorcery, that's gravity.
  455. Nicodemus: No! No! It will not end like this, DIE!
  456. (with all his remaining strength, Nicodemus hurls his hammer at Connar. As it spins through space end over end, it strikes Connar in the chest crushing his ribs, lungs and heart and throws him back through the tear as Nicodemus is pulled into oblivion.)

  459. Orochi tower courtyard:
  460. (In the courtyard below, the agents watch as the castle slowly begins to descend to earth. As the castle descends a bright light opens up over the top of the castle that pulls most of the castle's upper levels into it. As the upper levels of the castle disappear a pair of blinding bright lights appear on either side of the lower levels followed by a deafening blast that shatters every remaining window in the courtyard. The blast splits what remains of the castle in two and sends both halfs crashing in to the bay opposite Orochi tower. As the remains of the castle hiss, sizzle and sink into the bay, so to do the remains of Third Sunday.)
  461. Kenzie:(watches the building plummet in silence, an expression of relief creeping across her face.)
  462. Blaise: (memorializing the event with a picture)
  463. Kate:
  464. Lula:(watches the building plummet in silence)
  465. Helios: (Still too weak to really do much of anything, he was likely draped over the back of Hjarta, effectively unconscious save the periodic surfacing and fading state of his awareness. Oblivious to the sinking castle, and that their quest was complete.)
  466. Hjarta: (looking back over his shoulder at the priest, he began limping back to agartha, his tail wagging in satisfaction.)
  467. Yuuko: (looking at the sinking castle, a big smile spreads across her face) We did it! (jumping for joy briefly she looks over the battered agents and realizes not all of them are there. Her previously broad smile turns to panicked concern.) Where’s Connar?
  468. Kenzie: Last time we saw him, he was head for the top of the castle's.
  469. Yuuko: The part that got swallowed by the light?
  470. Blaise: I wouldn't worry about it, falling through inter dimensional rifts is kinda what Doc does and he always manages to find his back to earth. Though this time it seems to be taking him awhile.
  471. Kate: (Looking at Yuuko, she simply shakes her head)
  472. Lula:”Who? No idea” (Looks around still squeezing her snow white wolfpup) “Are we done? Are these twats seen off?” (Lula looks down at Wilberforce in her arms) “I’m saying yes and you aren’t going to argue with me. I’ve arranged a lovely little place in India for us.” (The blond woman turns and begins to walk off away from the courtyard and its remains of cataclysmic combat, having a one sided conversation with Wilberforce all the while) “India’s splendid. Lord Nelson of Puppyface is there as well. Don’t judge him by his looks, he only seems a terror at a glance. Come anywhere near him and he’s a lovvy little chap...Chap? It’s like a good bloke. Bloke? Bloke is a man or boy, we really need to teach you proper English...What? No that’s American that’s just a substandard version of proper English.” (the rambling fades into the distance along with the figure of the odd little madwoman. She never did come to a clear conclusion that any of what just transpired was even real)
  473. (a ball of fire streaks across the sky and comes crashing to earth in the crater where the Phoenix of the zero point pathogen had once landed.)
  474. Blaise: (watching Connar streak) “Show off!” (Grinning )
  475. Yuuko: (not stopping to think she runs toward the now smoldering crater.)
  476. (As smoke rises from the crater she rushes towards a glowing object at its center. Through the smoke, only the burning metal of a hammers head is visible, but as the smoke clears, the remains the of man it is embedded in become clear.)
  477. Yuuko: (Screeching in terror) Connar! (rushing to pull the hammer out of his chest and burning her fingers as she tries to grasp at the hammer head, a council envoy pulls her aside as woman in white uniform examines Connar's remains.)
  478. Council Envoy: (examining the wound in Connar's chest.)...He is regenerating but it's slow, we need to get him to Agartha. (Attaching a conduit to Connar’s body.) The wolf could use some work, grab him.
  479. (a man in a white uniform attaches a conduit to Tuk's collar before activating it and disappearing with him.)
  480. Yuuko: What does regeneration mean!? Is he OK, will someone please tell me what's going on.
  481. Blaise: “He’ll be fine. May need a nap though. Looks whipped. ” (cheshire grin)
  482. Council Envoy: (ignoring Yuuko, she activates the conduit and disappears with Connar)
  483. Kenzie: (her phone begins to ring as a text message comes in)
  484. We need to talk
  485. -KG
  486. Blaise: (checking his phone he finds a missed text message) Hey Alley Cat, before you head back to Seoul, swing on by my place, we got some business to take care of.
  487. -DK
  488. Kate:(checking her phone there is an email from Richard Sonnac)
  489. I will be debriefing you on this matter personally, return to Temple Hall at once.
  490. -Richard Sonnac
  491. Lula: (receiving the same email has Kate)
  492. Helios:(receiving the same email has Kate)
  493. Yuuko: (tears welling up in her eyes, she takes one last look at the shattered remains of Orochi Tower’s courtyard before slinging her rifle over shoulder and heading back to zero’s wild.)
  494. Blaise: (running after Yuuko) Hold up, I’ll walk you there.

  497. Epilog:
  498. Templar: Hunters of the dark
  499. (As the agents walk through temple hall, they notice that several old portraits that use to hang near Richard Sonnac's office have been removed and another is being taken down, As they enter the office they see Richard Sonnac sitting at his desk rubbing his temples as a maintenance worker wheals another portrait wrapped in cloth past him.)
  500. Maintenance Worker: (whistling) Oi mate, what about this one, rubbish or auction.
  501. Richard Sonnac: (Not looking at the worker.) Rubbish and make sure to slash the canvas.
  502. (as the worker wheels the portrait out of the office, the agents catch a glimpse of the portrait's subject, a tall stern looking man with a shaved head posing with a hammer.)
  503. Kate: (taking a seat across from Richard, she puts one leg over her knee and folds her arms (she has clearly been in this situation many times before))
  504. Lula: (Taking a seat next to Kate, making direct eye contact with Richard, (she has also been in this situation before.))
  505. Helios: (taking a seat next to Lula, while staring at his shoes.)
  506. Richard Sonnac: (his face his heavily bruised and there appears to be a large gash on his forehead covered with a bandage.) To say the old guard is upset would be an understatement. The great reconciliation was a necessary evil they say, they had to make peace with the rebel templar in order to secure western Europe against the soviet union and the red hand. (Sighing heavily,) of course we all know that is rubbish, many of them were either cowards waiting to see who won or Third Sunday agents that had escaped detection. Draining an abscess is never pleasant, but it is always necessary, and the longer one waits the more painful it becomes.(Standing up and walking over to the fire place) and this abscess was left to fester for a particularly long time. I believe that you three have saved the Templar. Though we are currently in a weakened state in Tokyo, we have not succumbed to the darkness and more importantly the darkness has been defeated, for now at least. But that is not how the old guard sees it, from their perspective the Ordo Obscurus meddled in a politically sensitive matter and did so with the help of an illuminati agent, two of most dangerous dragon agents in recent history and three lesser norse gods with the potential to end the fourth age, two of which remain unaccounted for.
  507. Helios: (Opening his mouth to speak.)
  508. Lula: (Giving him the stare of death.)
  509. Richard Sonnac: (Sitting back down in his chair,) Under normal circumstances, all three of you would spend eternity in the hive, or face execution but these are far from normal circumstances. (Pulling out a box from behind his desk,) the council has awarded each of you one of the following medals, the cross of St. Nicholas for valor in service to the children of the world, the star of St. Francis for valor in service to the cryptids of the world, the medal of armageddon for inter society cooperation and Dame Tyburn has recommended each of you for knighthood. We can not afford to lose such accomplished agents during this delicate transition...you are dismissed.
  510. Helios: (breathing a sigh of relief while he exits the office.)
  511. Lula: (calmly walking out of the office, the cats in the office seem to relax as she leaves, as if she had something with her that was disturbing them.)
  512. Kate: (Getting up to leave)
  513. Richard Sonnac: Not you Ms. Michaels, we need to discuss another topic.
  514. (As Lula and Helios leave, a pair of guards close the door behind them.)
  515. Richard Sonnac: You have already done more for the order then most agents, but I am afraid I must ask more of you. (Rubbing his eyes with a heavy sigh), I know this is hard to imagine but Lord Comstock was not always a monster, he was once a great leader in the order, and then he was corrupted and then he corrupted his followers...and because of that he was able to use our own resources against us. More troublingly Lord Comstock was not the first to betray us like this, over the centuries there have been many who felt that the order was heading in the wrong direction. Some thought our hearts had become hardened by the fight against evil, others that peace had made us softe, all have been corrupted in the same manner as Lord Comstock. Thus we must not only watch for threats from the outside, but also from within. (Opening a drawer in his desk) you have been particularly adept at hunting traitors within our ranks, and I suspect that we have not seen the last of Third Sunday. It strikes me as inappropriate having outsiders deal with these matters especially if those outsiders are dragons...Even if they are Dr. Green, (sliding a medallion with an eye and cross on it across his desk.) Dame Tyburn asked me to give you this as token of thanks...please bare in mind that our evaluation of you has not changed Ms. Michaels, but for today at least, you have our gratitude.

  518. Illuminati: Corporate restructuring
  519. (Entering the labyrinth, Kenzie prepares herself for the “talk” as best she can, she steals her nerves before taking a deep breath and then moving to call the elevator only to have the door open in front of her.)
  520. Kirsten Geary: (sniffing as she steps off the elevator) Walk with me Kenzie.
  521. Kenzie: (following the woman)
  522. Kirsten Geary: There is a bowl of RU-486 in the lobby if you haven't taken any I suggest you do so.
  523. Kenzie: Any particular reason why.
  524. Kirsten Geary: Because we all got fucked in Tokyo. Daimon Kiyota came out of no where and disrupted Tokyo, granted its been amusing watching the Templar panic, but we decide when and where disruptions happen, (lighting a cigarette as she leads Kenzie to a conference room.)
  525. Kenzie: Agreed ma’am
  526. Kirsten Geary: I am not going to lie to you on this particular issue Kenzie, the events in Tokyo have got the talking heads upstairs shitting themselves. The idea that the fedora squad may have had agents in our ranks scares them, so they have decided it's time for some restructuring.
  527. Kenzie: (stopping for a second)What kind of restructuring?
  528. Kirsten Geary: Removing unnecessary personnel, keeping a shorter leash on at risk agents, and optimizing field agent performance...Don't worry you're safe..for now. The committee is impressed with your work so far, particularly with your work locating Tesla’s vault, we have been looking for that for years. Dont get me wrong the whole stopping the end of the world thing is impressive too but the whole united in the face of darkness thing is so 90’s and the vault has so many more immediate applications.
  529. Kenzie: Like what?
  530. Kirsten Geary: We will see what Zurn comes up with, in the mean time things are looking up for you. You have proven yourself not only to be intelligent, but also a highly skilled mage, you have also worked with some of the other factions most respected agents giving you unique insight into how they function. This makes you a valuable asset. Also the Council sent you a box of crap, mostly medals, I had that forwarded to your home.
  531. Kenzie: Gee thanks for respecting my privacy.
  532. Kirsten Geary: (taking a puff on her cigarette) Anytime sweetheart.
  533. (As Kenzie and Kirsten speak outside a the conference room, a very old man in a metal exoskeleton approaches them, the sound of his labored breathing drowning out their conversation.)
  534. Disney: (Looking at Kenzie carefully,) I hope you checked this one for weapons. The last time I saw her she was tearing down a third of my facility.
  535. Kirsten Geary: Christ Walter, are you still crying about that.
  536. Disney: I came here to salvage what was left of this organization, but I could just as easily leave it to be eaten by the dragon.
  537. Kirsten Geary: (dropping her cigarette and putting it out with the heel of her shoe. Rubbing her eyes in annoyance.) Fine, I am sorry Kenzie helped break SOME of your toys.
  538. Disney: (scowling at Kirsten as he pushes open the door and directs the metal exoskeleton over to a chair.)
  539. Kirsten Geary: As you can see the committee has hired a consultant to help with the restructuring. Before I go to negotiate his contract, I’ll just say congratulations on making it to the big leagues kid. Ciao,ciao
  540. Kenzie: (watching as the door closes on Kirsten and Disney, she gets a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach.)

  543. Dragon: The whole world smiles with you
  544. (As Blaise and Yuuko enter Daimon office they can see him chuckling to himself as he watches several news channels on a series of monitors in front of him. Behind him sitting on a couch, Emma knits a scarf.)
  545. Daimon Kiyota: (turning to the approaching agents,) Wow, what a third act, an assault on Orochi tower, Evil Bee’s, an infected phoenix , magic wolves and a duel to the death at the center of the Galaxy...Wow! Of course it had weak acting from the male lead and that love story felt like it was shoehorned in at the last minute, so over all I give it a C+ but I got a feeling the sequel will be better.
  546. Blaise: Battle at the center of the Galaxy? Damn it, that must of been when I got up to go to the bathroom.
  547. Daimon Kiyota: Too bad Alley Cat, guess you will have to catch it on netflixs.
  548. Yuuko: (Pushing Blaise out of the way) Where’s Connar !?
  549. Daimon Kiyota: Ooooooh you sure you want to ask me that question Mighty Mouse? even after I just released you from your contract.
  550. Yuuko: (unslinging her rifle and pointing it at Daimon.) Where is Connar!
  551. Daimon Kiyota: (turning around slowly.) You really don't want to do that.
  552. Emma: (standing up and smacking Daimon upside the head.) Connar and Tuk are recovering in Venice, there is no need to worry dear.
  553. Daimon Kiyota: (pointing to Emma) real charmer this one, I bring her back here away from the fighting and she repays me by being a wet blanket.
  554. Emma: It smells like cigarettes in here, the music's too loud and the air is too cold, bringing me here was hardly a favor. (Placing the scarf in her purse, she turns to Yukko) Excuse me dear, I am terribly sorry but I dont read Japanese (taking a piece of paper from her bag), would you do me a kindness and escort me back to my hotel.
  555. Yuuko: (lowering her rifle, before taking the paper and reading it carefully) Of course.
  556. (As Yukko leads Emma out of the office, Emma turns one last time to give Daimon the evil eye before leaving.)
  557. Daimon Kiyota: You wouldn't know it by looking at her, but she was one of the most dangerous agents in the dragon, (walking over to Blaise) With a single whispered word, she could undo months of careful planning, she didn't just cause Chaos, she directed it, she would spend the night in colonial palaces and the next day they would be overrun by angry mobs. She’d give sweets to starving children and revolutionaries would have the cavities from them, She didn't just see the tilt in the game, she made it (smiling at Blaise.) “
  558. Blaise: (In that moment he recognizes Daimon as the black entity from Kamchatka) Nice to see you again.
  559. Daimon Kiyota: (laughing) I knew you’d remember me Alley cat. (turning to the window overlooking the parlor) Granny Kill Joy is not the only one who directs chaos, your first encounter with the fairy god slayer, your globe trotting hunt for their bases, the disneyland incident, the fight with the demon queen and the 10 plagues and your little fling with the rabbit sisters, all of it was necessary for this moment to occur and the end result...a Dragon King.
  560. Blaise: Shhh...no spoilers I haven't finished the season yet.
  561. Daimon Kiyota: (laughing) I like you Alley cat, but a dragon king is not a kid on a chair or some scholar with a iPad, a dragon king is a event that shakes things up, tears down old paradigms, and remakes the model. (Turning back to the monitors) and thanks to you another one is about to occur. Things change, the cylinder spins, some stamps get canceled, and you just helped cancel a doozy. We have needed to bump off the fairy god slayer for a long time, and almost all said it was impossible, they were certain that you and Green were going to fail and now here you are. Doing the impossible is a rudeness to reality, and you Alley Cat deliver that rudeness with style.
  562. Blaise: (takes a bow) “Wait; Madness is a style now? Been way ahead of the trend”
  563. Daimon Kiyota: It's always been a style Alley Cat, and it takes a special kind of mad cat to ride the dragon, (switching several of the screens to 24 hour news channels) a cheshire cat riding a dragon, now there is something worth watching. You’ve done a great thing here today Alley Cat, the wings have been flapped now check out the storm. (As Daimon brings up more news feeds he begins to sing)
  564. “When you're smilin', when you're smilin'
  565. The whole world smiles with you
  566. When you're laughin', when you're laughin'
  567. That sun comes shinin' through”
  568. British news anchor: the minister of finance step down today amidst accusation of corruption.
  569. Australian news anchor: New evidence of human experimentation has emerged at detention facilities throughout northern australia.
  570. American news anchor: Orochi stock plummeted after news leaked that a new Vali line of antibiotics had been denied FDA clearance.
  571. British news anchor: Morning light activist arrived in the congo today, despite the objections of international aid workers.
  572. Daimon Kiyota: “But when you're cryin', you bring on the rain
  573. So stop your sighin', be happy again
  574. Keep on smilin', 'cause when you're smilin'
  575. The whole world smiles with you”
  576. (As Daimon finishes he bursts into laughter) Keep smiling Alley Cat, because you and me are just getting started.

  579. The immortal spirit of Connar Green:
  580. 2 weeks later
  581. (Kate, Kenzie, and Blaise arrive at a plot of land outside of Greenfield Ireland, In the distance they can see construction workers moving among the remains of a old stone house that burned to the ground hundreds of years ago, putting up new walls and finishing electrical work and plumbing. A few hundred meters over is a pen of cows next to a newly built barn with the Coca Cola logo painted on the side, on the opposite side of the stone home is a freshly plowed field with newly planted potatoes. In the distance they can see Connar leaning on a cane while looking over blueprints on a wooden table, next to him, gnawing on a old cow bone is Tuk, wearing an old trinity university hoodie to keep him from pulling out his stitches.)
  582. Kenzie: They give you a timeframe on when its suppose to be done doc?
  583. Connar: 3 months and I can start moving in, until then I brought my room from the Kumiho Hotel and I’ll be staying there.
  584. Kenzie: You brought your room.
  585. Connar: right over there, the door with 816 on it, the door opens up to the hotel room in seoul, makes moving much easier.
  586. Blaise: Neat.
  587. Kate: How are you holding up?
  588. Connar: Better then when you last saw me, the anti anima Nicodemus was using seems to have scared the bees off, and that's slowed the regeneration but they are coming back and it looks like I should be back to normal within a week or two.
  589. Blaise: Hey doc whats up with the hoodie? Scooby going back to school to finish his degree?
  590. Connar: Nah, he finished his masters in 1990, the healer had to shave off a big patch of his fur to stitch him up. So the hoodie is their to prevent him from taking them out and to preserve his dignity.
  591. Kenzie: (petting the wolf's head) any signs of Third Sunday survivors.
  592. Connar: Outside of the agents rounded up by the council, no. But we saw the same thing after the war, it looked like there were no supporters left and then 80 years later they cropped up again. I don't doubt that they still have supporters out there and they will want revenge, but that's a fight for another day for now the light has won and things in this one small spot are as they should be.
  593. Kate: So what are you going to do now?
  594. Connar: (reaching under the table he pulls out a thermos and pours a cup of brown milk like fluid.) Taste this.
  595. Kate: (looking at the drink carefully before it sniffing and then taking a sip. As the sweet liquid hits her tongue she looks puzzled) its Chocolate milk.
  596. Connar: Chocolate milk with caffeine to be exact, plus one other extra ingredient, watch this (opening a can of Bingo Cola and pouring it into another cup, he pours the drink into the cola.)
  597. (As the milk makes contact with the cola, the cola turns clear as a black slime crawls out of the glass and tries to escape before drying up and crumbling to ash.)
  598. Kate: Anima?
  599. Connar: An anima derivative, those cows over there actually use anima and they produce a powerful anti-zero point pathogen in their milk. I’m working with Coca Cola to get this stuff into every corner store in the EU, after the whole Orochi thing it's nice to work with a company who is only interested in unlimited profit at all costs instead of world domination. Hopefully this will undo some of the damage Orochi has done and keep any remnants of Third Sunday from creating another virus.
  600. Blaise: So how do we top this adventure, Doc?
  601. Connar: A little change of scenery and a new nemesis, check this out. (Taking his phone from his pocket he opens a story from the BBC.)
  602. BBC anchor: Morning Light aid workers arrived in the city of Brazzaville amidst protest from the international community. The workers intend to open an alternative medicine clinic aimed at serving the city's poorest. “We are here to not just help heal the body but also the soul" the group's leader Jenny McDonald said, the medical value of the morning lights treatments have been widely criticised in the international medical community as ineffective if not outright fraudulent. The group has also been criticized for fostering an atmosphere of mistrust and in some cases open hostility between patients and doctors. Prominent members of the World Health Organization have even gone so far as to ask member nations to restrict the morning lights access to developing nations. When asked to comment on the World Health Organization's request, Philip Marquard the group's founder stated, “the people of the congo should not be denied help simply because big pharma feels threatened.” Lisa Potter BBC news.
  603. Kate: Bloody hell…(rubbing her eyes) so when do we leave.
  604. Connar: The council is still sorting out access to the region, so not for while. In the mean time, I would suggest taking a break, you lot have certainly earned it.
  605. Blaise: No rest for the wicked Doc, but maybe we can have lunch before we resume the fight against evil.
  606. Connar: (hobbling away from the table) I’d like that, the Long hall just reopened, best fish and chips outside of Dublin (stopping to look at Kate and Kenzie) well are you coming or not?
  607. Kenzie: On way my doc.
  608. Kate: (following Blaise)
  609. Connar: (Stopping for a moment)...Hay Kenzie.
  610. Kenzie: Yah?
  611. Connar: Did we ever bury Pickman?
  612. Kenzie: I don't think we did.
  613. Connar: So he’s been by the river for 2 years.
  614. Kenzie: I think so.
  615. Connar: ….So a few extra hours won't hurt right?
  616. Kenzie: It wont.
  617. Connar: Right then, lunch first, then Pickman.

  669. Hiya, Chuck. It's John…from Tokyo. Not a bad little story if you ask me Chuck, but it kind of struck me as a little messy. Not that there is anything wrong with that Chuck, life is messy, one minute you’re awaiting the relief of the inevitable heat death of the universe, the next you’re splattered across the front of a train. But this story is messy in a different way, tell me chuck have you ever wondered what happened to Worth when old Nic smashed his head? Where did he go? What was he doing? And what about that last act, did it feel a little off to you, like something was missing? Here’s another question for you Chuck, What happened to Isaac Reed when that castle fell into the bay? Want to find out?….of course you do.
  670. (Hidden atop a forested peak in the Virunga Mountains and buried beneath millennia of overgrowth, is a cave where the walls are covered in prehistoric art that has not been seen by human eyes for thousands of years. Near the back of this cave is a pit that seems to go on forever and at the bottom of this pit is a black pool of liquid dreams, a sacred site to creatures that walked the earth long before the age of mammals, surrounding the pool are golden shrines built specifically to suit non-human dimensions. A snapping sound echos among the abandoned shrines as a crack in space opens and a disheveled man in a tattered Templar uniform squirms out. Falling to his knees and gasping for breath, he has been driven half mad by the things he has seen and yet anti anima thunders through his veins making him more powerful then he has ever been. As he struggles to pull himself to his feet, a large figure with a face made of writhing tentacles emerges from the darkness with a hammer swung over his shoulders.)
  671. The Hound: What about this one boss? put'em down with the rest of Nic’s crew?
  672. (emerging from the dark, a pale man in a Black business suit smiles at the man trying to pull himself to his feet, revealing a set of rotten teeth.)
  673. Pale man: No Felix, I see potential in this one. You see I have been thinking about it and the mistake I made with Joseph was that I came to him to late. When I offered him the truth he was set in his ways and unwilling to adapt. (Picking up a golden bowl from the dusty shrine and filling it with the black substance from the pit,) I thought that if I came to him when he was at his most powerful he would be able to take back the order, but it only made it harder for him to see the full extent of the truth. No Felix, We don't need a powerful warrior to understand the truth, we need someone who understands it fully to become powerful. (offering the bowl to the disheveled man) I saw how they defeated you Isaac and I would like to offer you a chance to avenge your pride, drink this and you will become everything that Nicodemus could not.
  674. Isaac: (taking the bowl from the pale man, he brings it to his lips and drinks deeply of the liquid dreams.)
