Adalyn hadn't been part of the Fallen Phoenix for even a month yet, and she already found herself running for her life. Was this a bad sign? ... Nah... It was fun, dangerous, a bit spontaneous... And for a cause. Something she had wanted for a long time. Turning a sharp corner, she found herself in a dead end alley. "Shhhiii- Oh come on!" She said exasperatedly. Turning on her heel, she could hear about 3 people coming her way. "Guess we'll do this the hard way... Oh well." As the men stopped at the entrance to the alley way, Adalyn was ready. She hurled whatever she could telepathically pick up, and tossed it at the men, then ran for it while the struggled to themselves. "Good... Now I just need to get to the harbor... Get in the bout." After making a few twists and turns, she finally arrived, and could easily see the ship she was supposed to be on. Taking a deep breath, she made her way to the boat and crawled into one of the cargo windows and found a good hiding spot that would work for the duration of her of the ride.

Gaeta smiled lazily after another sip. "You could do to smile more ya know." He set the small glass on the desk and turned from Will. "What does it matter to you hmm? And he is pending right now...i wish to see what his heart is like first.." Though L already had a good idea or at least guess at how the boy was. He saw bits and pieces of himself in the boy...watching him had been a sort of trip down memory lane. Save this boy seemed much more active, and after his dreams. What L wished he'd done in retrospect. "first I'd like to know what you have instore for Roulin and Dante...and the little girl" L took the glass and swirled its contents around a bit. "And come now, you used to be so much more...fun" He gave a small glance at the piano as evidence before taking another sip from his glass.

Itachi lay in a small room in a special building built for owl training for more dangerous powers. It was too risky for itachi to be training in the regular building when will was the one training him. Will had confronted him not long after arriving in russia about granting him a gift of some sort for a reason he would not explain and itachi had asked to become strong enough to protect the ones he cared for and will with his usual mocking laugh and insults agreed. The training room he had used in russia was all but levelled when they left for japan due to the hellish training will had put itachi through for the few months. IN japan the training only got worse and more intense as will had plenty of connections and fiances to make it much more intense. Now he lay in a special healing room with faster healing abilities then normal as he let the healing take place. Even now with his body beaten he could feel the increase of his power and could all but hear wills mocking laughter at him resting already at only this level of training and forced his body to stand at the thought of it and began to head for the closet to get dressed in un ruined cloths and make himself look presentable again.
Nova smirked and opened and closed his hand enjoying the feel of his increased powers after all that training to stop being as benkei kept putting it for some odd reason " MR Useless". He couldnt fathom why after everything he does for everyone and all the training he always does. He had been training on the mythic plain to greatly increase his magic supply his greatest weakness and to learn some better magic for the stronger foes not wanting to hold the team back in a dangerous fight. " so whats our battle plan then/ Should we ally with night owls perhaps sicne we both lost members to the UNS and we could use the help to get them back and fight the UNS. Thomas is not someone we can fight normaly and if that cocky jerk of a satan owl will helkps them fight we will really be up a river alone." said nova speaking frankly as he strectched and readied himself for the trip.
Zane noded to noel and moli as the talked. " so then we have a plan at least what should we do about the other teams or if lucien joins the fray this time as well? with dante and roulin gone we dont many member swho can go toe to toe with him with all those powers he has not to mention will and thomas who will be there as well. Do we have a plan for if we get found out and and all there big guns try to overwhelm us?" asked zane trying to cover a possibility that was pretty grime.

All though the room in which Raven was being kept was not at all bright in lighting, her eyes still burned when her face was finally rid of the blasted cloth. Her blues eyes strained trying to regain focus but failed leaving her to deal with blurry outlines instead.
Raven could not afford to allow her mind to register the pain that her body was in, she had to keep her mind separate from her body in order to think things through. Before finding out that Kojiro was also captive, Raven had already started to come to terms with the harsh reality that might have seen her die by Thomas’s hands. But now…now she had a whole new reason to fight to stay alive and to see that Thomas was destroyed.
But now she faced another problem, how the hell was she going to bring forth the knowledge that lay hidden deep within her? It was not by her command that enabled the words of the Nol Era came forth. Her fingers clenched into fists and out of instinct she tugged at the restraints. A sharp burning sensation indicated that she had only been able to reopen a healing laceration somewhere on her arm, as to breaking free. Wishful thinking.
In anger she cursed to the high heavens, knowing full well insults fell on deaf ears. In all her life she had never felt so angered, if she were ever to break free she would be sure to inflict her pain on anyone who dared to cross her. To put it in another way, you wouldn’t want to poke a lion that had been starved and mistreated with a stick would you?…

((UNS - Will - I'm going to wait on Amaya.))
Will smirked and poured himself a glass, noting Gaeta’s glance toward the piano. “Oh? But I do smile, Gaeta,” he chided sarcastically. The blonde wasn’t rusty at all, even if he rarely played nowadays. The times he had played for audiences were things of the past. Even his interpretations of the violin pieces such as the Sonata in G, better known as the Devil’s Trill Sonata, for its back-story and intensive technical demand. But that was nothing to him because for all anyone knew, Will might have had a hand in that backstory, and he wouldn’t be telling anyone if he did. The composer Giuseppe Tartini was inspired by a dream in which the Devil had appeared. As told by the composer, “One night, in the year 1713 I dreamed I had made a pact with the devil for my soul. Everything went as I wished: my new servant anticipated my every desire. Among other things, I gave him my violin to see if he could play. How great was my astonishment on hearing a sonata so wonderful and so beautiful, played with such great art and intelligence, as I had never even conceived in my boldest flights of fantasy. I felt enraptured, transported, enchanted: my breath failed me, and - I awoke. I immediately grasped my violin in order to retain, in part at least, the impression of my dream. In vain! The music which I at this time composed is indeed the best that I ever wrote, and I still call it the "Devil's Trill", but the difference between it and that which so moved me is so great that I would have destroyed my instrument and have said farewell to music forever if it had been possible for me to live without the enjoyment it affords me."
“Of course it matters,” Will replied with a matter-of-fact tone. He took a small sip. Gaeta wasn’t going to tell him, so Will dropped the question for now and would answer Gaeta’s question. The Light Herald was a few years older than him and they both knew each other well enough. Gaeta wasn’t going to choose an a** who would screw things up. Will trusted his judgment enough, though they knew both of them had done more than questionable acts in the past. The smile left the blonde’s face. “As you know, Roulin and Dante are both dead. Raven is still alive. Thomas won’t kill her until she outlives her use. She hasn’t croaked yet, but she will.” He looked at Gaeta, meeting the Light Herald's. A slight hint of anger sounded in Will's next explanation, though he was perfectly calm. Anger and rage would not blind this Satan Owl. He was too experienced for that to work. “Roulin will be back. I intend for him to take his role as the Life Owl permanently with the new generation. Dante is no longer part of the plan though he had a part I wanted him to play. The little f*** had to go die early on us like Che. Raven has her part to play. I have been watching her, and I want her to live for the next generation.” There was no need to say that most of this dealt with killing Thomas and fixing whatever other problem there was. Will wasn't being extremely specific with what each role was.
((The violin sonata is long, but here’s some techno/electric violin version of a portion of it, if you’re curious. Devil’s Trill with Vanessa Mae))---------------------------------- ((Fallen Phoenix))
Benkei rolled his eyes when Nova spoke. He was being less "Mr. Useless" as the days went on, but Nova still didn't mind rubbing the past events in Benkei's face. He had more than just what Nova said on his mind, and he still wondered if there was a way to turn Will away from the UNS. The Shield Owl heard Flo's outburst and patted Flo on the back. "We're in this together." Nova's idea sounded pretty good actually. If the Night Owls and the Fallen Phoenix teamed up, then maybe it would help both groups. They would get Kojiro and Raven back somehow. They had to. The Japanese nineteen year old walked into the plane behind Aaliyah. Part of him was glad they were going to Japan, but another part was scared.

Everything was black, his mind was clouded,fear had left him after all, and a sense of regret and hopelessness replaced it over time.
"...I can't see...I can't move...I dont know where I am..."
"I was stupid...I was not brave...In the end I couldn't do anything..."
"But they won't let me just die...so I have to live with my mistakes..."
Kojiro mulled his situation over, he refused to cooperate with these people, but the longer time passed the more his mind was forced to thing otherwise.
"I wonder If the others are doing right now?...Are they worried?...I hope they are alright..."
Kojiro listened to the cold silence accompanying him, It did scare him when he was alone for so long, he missed everybody, and there was nobody around to talk to him, let alone tell him he was going to be alright, there was nobody to give him the words to keep fighting, He had lost his family after all, His past once again repeated itself, but this time, there was no Raven to take his hand and take him in, there was no Fallen Phoenix, there was only Thomas, That Satan Owl, and the rest of the UNS, and there was no way he was going to take their lead.

Aimee looked at Noel and seemed a little hesitant at first. "So which group do I go with, Noel?" She asked, her hands in her pocket as she looked at the limo that just pulled up a few yards from them. "'Cause I can heal and stun and thats it..." She said simply as she looked back at her.

Moli made his way into the back of the Limo and sat down in the plush leather seat. It was pretty comfortable to be artificial. When Aimee asked who she'd be going with, Moli didn't respond. He didn't want to pick his partner. Besides, he already had an Aeon copy or maybe Aeon herself...after she duplicates, he'd undoubtely lose track. If anything, she should join Noel, the weapon maker, since she could stun people. ~Where are you Anderson?~ Moli thought to himself. ~You're still part of my family...the only one still alive next to myself.~
~~~
As Thomas walked down the rocky grotto-like hallway, he pulled a cell phone from his pocket. It was a standard issue cellphone given to him by The U.N.S and the President. After flipping it's dark face upward, he began to slide his fingers around to the corresponding numbers. Lucien's name had arrived on the speed dial. The call went straight to voicemail just as Thomas had wanted.
"Lucien old boy, if you wouldn't mind sending our friend Putin and a few thousand Russian soldiers over to Japan...I have a few conspirators I'm gonna need captured, or preferrably killed. That's all."
With that done, he came across a door. The light shining through the window was as red as fire and on the inside were lights that made it feel just that way. "Koji-san? Koji-san?" Thomas called out mockingly to the cryokinetic owl. "Wake your a** up kid. Your girlfriend has asked for your presence." Thomas opened the door. It was as if Roulin were standing right in front of him with that magma power of his. "Woowee it's hot in 'ere! Reminds me of home in the summer. Alrighty kid, are you ready to not be surrounded by infrared lights? You wanna see your only teammate that's alive?"

Lucien reached into his pocket. Pulling out his phone he answered only to hear the sting of Thomas's orders. " Understood. " Was his only reply. He walked over to his desk and picked up the phone on it. Dialing a three didgit code he waited a few moments before an answer. " Yes. Diploy division 10.2-14.7. " He would send the solderis. " And Puten as well. " He hung up as he shook his head. Reaching down he picked up the cellphone and spoke. " Done They'll be diployed shortly, anything else Thomas? ' He asked reather bluntly, he saw no need for flowery language or catchy saying, Thomas wasn't on his good list right now but still valuable.

Scythe de Zaran ((UNS- Armand)) Back in the training room, Armand was indeed playing with a device, a small hacking device that he had designed. He saw and heard Will, and heard Anya's reaction. The red head sighed. "Someone hasn't changed," he mumbled. He glanced at Anya. "Hey, don't let him get to you." He smiled all of a sudden. "But that can be changed with a prank or two! How about it, Anya?"((UNS: Anya --> Japan)) Anya had leaned back against the wall she'd been leaning against before Will's rude interruption into her train of thought. A scowl was clearly on her face now as she used her willpower to calm herself down. However, when she heard Armand speaking to her from his little corner nearby, the poison owl looked over at Armand a sort of question on her face. But when he suggested that they pull a couple of pranks on Will to get back at him, Anya blinked and stared at Armand for a moment or two. She was surprised with the suggestion coming from one of the people that managed to annoy her on a regular basis. At least Armand wasn't trying to get on her good side for his own benefit like Will would have done. "What are you saying? That I should have my revenge from the torture Will has put me through for the past year or so by pulling a prank or two? Are you insane?" Anya asked flatly. Though, the more she thought about it, the more the idea appealed to her.

After beeping for a few seconds, Thomas finally answered his cell. He flipped it open to Lucien's voice. Hastily, he responded,"No. That is all. I have a feeling that this might be the last day of this fight. You may join if you like, but if you'd rather not, then by all means, continue your vacation."

Nicko1421 Lucien listened to her monotone voice before responding. " Taking a trip down memory lane? That doesn't seem like you but I suppose it wouldn't be the first time you've suprised me. " He said as he stood up from his chair. " I don't see why you cling to memories of Puten, he's gone there was no need for someone like him anymore, therefore I removed him from his seat of power and took his place. ' he said bluntly. He though for a moment then sighed to himself. " That was.....inappropriate. I suppose I have no room to talk. Dante's death is hitting me harder then I thought it would, the old man wormed his way into me like the others. He raised us all sense we all were children he was our father figure. " Lucien looked at the photo of the family portrait the entire Night owl squad took before he betrayed them. " They were all so good.....to good, their pure hearts would blind them from the tough decisions that would need to be made. " He said softly. Ruling a nation had given him perspective. "I suppose Machiavelli got it correct, the most important part of being a ruler isn't to be feared or loved you simply can't be hated. I guess it's a lesson Thomas never learned. " He laughed lightly. " So what do I really owe the pleasure of your company? Is there something you wanted to talk about? " He asked, he truly did not believe that she simply walked in just to look around aside from that he could use his powers to see through lies. ((Night Owls: Kate --> Russia)) "Memory lane is overrated. And 'cling' is such a coarse word choice..." Kate commented with another small sigh at Lucien's description of why she was even here. "As for Puten... You mistake my relationship with him for someone who actually cared for him. And by your description of it and how you have treated those you find no more use for, it sounds like you have had him executed. But what do I care about whether or not Puten is in fact dead? He, along with Dante Virgilis, is merely one more spirit resigned to the banks of eternity since birth anyway." As she said this, Kate moved from her place at the door towards one of the windows. She looked out at the snow-filled landscape of the winter-y Russia.
"It seems that you have more of a heart than you thought you did, Lucien DeLeon..." she remarked about Lucien's demeanor since Dante's passing. Even though it wasn't much of a change, Kate had noticed it. She ignored his persistence in asking what she was even doing here visiting him. She always ignored that question whenever he asked it. What was the point in him knowing the answer to that question anyway?
" 'Only with a new ruler do you realize the value of the old'... "

L smirked looking at the contents of his glass as he swirled it around, "No my friend you smirk when things go your way, sneer at Tom a laugh like a maniac...I mean smile like back then. after all, how much time do we all have left?" The light herald turned to look at Will. "But i suppose that all can wait...So, you found another loop-hole then?" He finished the glass before setting it to the side. "Yes about Raven...do you intend to leave the Wiki within her? Thats a heavy burden to put on the girl...then again" He looked at the empty glass before sighing "We've put quite a heavy burden on most of the children..." L stood and refilled his glass before turning to face Will. "And what of Lucien hmm? that boy doesnt seem stable to me... he'll end up like us if ya dont watch him" L was reffeering to the boy having killed his friend and friends parents and sideing with Thomas, all in pursuit of one goal. "And do try to calm down, i only had one of those hankerchiefs after all..." The goofy smiled returned making it seem to those who didnt know Gaeta's mannerisms that he wasnt seriouse.
Flo's head shot up at Benkei patting him on the back. It had startled him a bit, and given recent events who could blame him for being jumpy? "Y...yeah, so whats the plan now then? " His hands were quickly shoved into black pockets as he walked along side the shield owl. "And Benkei arent ya from Japan..." Flo had not really been to up-to-date on his fellow Phoenixes pasts. "Should be nice to see home again huh?"

Lucien shook his head alittleas he listened to Thomas. " No I'll come, my 'vacation' is starting to dwell on my patience. ' He said as he hung up shortly after. He put his phone back into his pocket and looked at Kate. " A heart? I have never denied my humanity. I have simply tried to be less flamboyant with it. " When he heard her mention Dante a vase in the corner of the room suddenly shattered into hundreds of pieces on the floor. " I would rather not talk about him. " He said rather bluntly. Kate I would rather not talk about morals and philosophy right now. I have to be heading to Japan. " He shifted his shoulders and began taking off his jacket, underneath was a long sleeve button downed black shirt. He sighed and tossed the jacket over his chair. He cracked his neck. It had been a while sense he had used his new powers, his old ones remained in constant use. He looked back at Kate and said. " I'm leaving Russia now but I'll be gone for about a day I would assume, either way I can be there and back relatively quickly. Don't destroy my new home while I'm gone. " The last part was clearly a joke but with his lack of emotional output right now it probably didn't really sound likeit. His body started to glow until it burst into hundreds of light particles and vanished, his new power of Photon Conversion was really coming along.

((UNS - Armand, Amaya, Will))
Armand just smiled. “Why not?” the scientist posed back at Anya. “It won’t be easy, but it’ll get the stress off your mind! It’ll be fuuun!” Armand said cheerily. The red head pranked practically anyone in the UNS. Even Che hadn’t been free from them. The prankster had been a bit more careful around Thomas and Will though. Still, he had pranked Will and failed because the Satan Owl had seen through the prank somehow. It seemed that Will was a prankster himself. “We’ll catch him when he’s asleep and catch him off guard. Before he knows it, we’ll be gone!” The question was where to do it, when, and what. That also depended on what Anya was in the mood for, if she wanted in on the prank.
Amaya heard Amara’s message. Of course, she wasn’t sure about herself, but she was afraid for Amara. She couldn’t let Amara do it alone, so she’d go along with it. Hopefully, Anya would too. Then it’d be the three of them together. Why couldn’t she tell Itachi? She was close to where he was now, and she could actually see him in this weird building since he wasn't training with the others. He looked pretty beat up. What was he doing? What kind of training was he getting put through? “Itachi, are you ok?”
Will chuckled at Gaeta’s remarks. They were accurate to some extent. It wasn’t something he could deny. He did all of the things that Gaeta mentioned. He did not speak for a moment, but it was a quick moment. The time was now. It was not a time to reminisce back when Will “smiled” like back then or to think about how time was running short. There was work to do before they could move on. “You have a point, Gaeta… perhaps, that time may come again,” he replied in a seemingly sad tone much unlike that of Satan’s…or would have been had it not been slightly undertoned with a hint of sarcasm. However, the past could not be future. Noel and he hated each other. They were no longer capable of being lovers. Only the seriousness of the situation now kept Satan from tearing God apart. Perhaps, there was something else also, but that wasn’t important. Work had to be done. “Yes, a loophole. It’ll work quite nicely if Thomas doesn’t know, which I don’t think he does.” He took another couple of sips from his glass and appeared to be in thought before continuing. “The girl will not be able to live a normal life if everyone is after the Wiki. Either everyone who knows dies or… if there’s a way to suppress it...” Will let the sentence drift off. The new generation did have a burden, as Gaeta had said. He nodded.“We’ll have to see how Raven performs. As for Lucien, you are right about the risk. He needs guidance if he’s to be the Death Owl. Neither Thomas nor Roulin are sufficient for that purpose. I’ll keep an eye on him.” That was a lot of people Will was keeping tabs on. He could do it, but there was only so much even he could do when things got really really messy. That’s why this wasn’t a one man plan. If Gaeta had any ideas or other input, now was the time to lay them out. Time was short.
The Satan Owl cocked an eyebrow up at Gaeta’s last statement and laughed. He put a hand on the Light Herald’s shoulder. “I’m calm, but maybe you should consider bringing another handkerchief next time, hmm?” Will would have sushi-ed Gaeta again just for saying that, but he, luckily for the Light Herald, refrained from doing that. “How is our Herald family?”
------------------------------
((Fallen Phoenix))
Benkei wasn’t the planner of the group. Aaliyah and Owen seemed de facto in lead right now. They had basically crashed at Aaliyah’s place for the past two months. The Shield Owl couldn’t just ignore Flo’s second question though. “Yeah, home…” Benkei simply answered. A bit of worry showed in his tone. He would probably explain why if Flo asked further. Benkei was originally from the Kyoto Osaka region on Honshu, the main island in Japan. His younger brother was studying at the University of Tokyo. The University of Tokyo and Kyoto University were the top schools in the country. His brother would have gone abroad to Europe or the United States were it not for the wars.
