While Artemis was doing his best to get them through the building they only had a limited amount of knowledge of the actual place. It seemed like every hall just led to another dead end or wrong area. Demios looked at his bracelet and it glowed a new color signifying they were drawing closer to Armand. He looked at Artemis "Lets go this way" He said as he led them down another hall. Within ten minutes Demios made it outside of the room Armand was in. He looked at the clone and Artemis "Sorry guys" He said as he chanted a spell changing their forms into stuffed animal key chains which attatched to his pants. He then pushed the door open and raised his hand "Nobody move!" He said loudly although only loud enough for them to hear.

((This is probably going to be my last post for the night, guys. I'm getting up early tomorrow to fly down to Florida to see my grandparents. I'll bring my computer with me, but there's no way to tell how often I'll be able to post or even get online. I will be returning on Saturday though.))
((UNS: Anya))
As the door burst open, Anya spun to face the door way. She saw the kid standing there with a palm faced towards them. She sort of recognized him from being on one of the other teams, but couldn't remember which team it was. The Poison Owl tensed, making fists with her hands to ready herself for a fight. The poison aura around her arm flared slightly. "What the hell do you think you're doing, kid?" she demanded loudly from halfway across the room. "Why shouldn't we move? That said, why should we even listen to you anyway?" As she said this, Anya began slowly moving in Demios' direction.
===
((Fallen Pheonix: Owen))
As a housefly, Owen continued flying through the air vents of the UNS Japan base. He was still looking for Raven and Kojiro. He was going to find them, even if it killed him in the end. "Raven! Kojiro! If you're still alive and able to hear me, please say something through your minds to me!" Owen needed them to answer so he could narrow down his search a little bit. If they could just describe the room they were in, Owen would be able to find them.
===
((Heralds: Sydney --> Flashback))
Sydney again closed her eyes, letting out a tiny puff of air as a sort of sigh, as Timothy began to shout at her. She let him finished what he had to say before speaking again. "I'm merely stating a fact, Timothy... What you are pursuing with trying to kill the Great Four is a vendetta concerning a personal matter..." For once, Sydney seemed to show a hint of remorse or sadness as she turned her face away from the gaze she held on Timothy for the past few minutes. It could have been from the fact that Tim had actually expressed genuine rage towards her, when she had had no intention of making him that upset with her. "As I said before I sympathize with your loss... I, too, lost a mentor. I never knew him enough to consider him family, but he was my mentor nonetheless no matter how briefly..." Sydney did not turn her eyes back to face Tim right away after that. Instead, she kept her eyes turned down towards the table without lowering her head. "If we were to reveal the secret we have been keeping from them about our past, perhaps they would be driven to no longer cause the chaos we despise, and as such, begin to fix what we seem to failed to do so far... Perhaps they would even assist us in destroying Thomas to restore our balance."

(will post as L later...had a hard enough time struggling through this post...my left arm is shakeing and i dont know why....and it wont stop....)
-Flashback-
L closed his eyes for a moment anger clearly being the cause. His voice was slow and deliberate as his position scarcely changed. "They are not our opponets, Thomas is...they are the children of this generation, the ones deserving and ready to lead if only we would stay out of their way. All of this choas has been because of us and Thomas...and brother do leave Gale out of this. Thomas has commited enough sins against this world" His eyes stared straight at Tim bareing a look he hadnt had since the nol era. "It is wise to know when to burry personal feelings, for the betterment of this world. The best way for us to help this world now is to kill thomas and give our titles to ones who dont bare our great sins" L glanced toward Sydney, finding some solace that they agreed on the matter.

((UNS - Armand))
Armand was still wondering about the bracelet when Demios suddenly stepped into the room and ordered everyone to not move. He raised an eyebrow. "Demi?" He noticed Anya move toward him. "Wait, Anya. Demi, what are you doing here?" The red head looked at Demios. It wasn't safe for Demios here. There were thoughts flying through Armand's head, but he had a feeling he knew why Demios was here.

Zane noded and began to follow moli again. " this sure is a unique train no wonder it needed a special artifact to power it, if that indeed is the case." said zane as he looked the train over as he followed behind moli taking it all in as he walked.
Nova was surprised when he heard voices and flew down to speak to the person. But not before he saw will moving out to the limo by his house as it now was confirmed as such. " Actually a bit im lookming for someone named Will hes rich, has a fancy mansion and i need to talk to him and his geusts." said nova having seen a membe rof the night owls leav ethe house. " do you think you could intorduce me to him quickly i need to tell hi m something aobut someone named benkei who seems to live around here as well or at least used too." said nova mentioning benkeis name on purpose to get his attention and hopefully make him agree. He knew simply walking up to will would be a bad idea this way he could keep from completly angering him, or so he hoped....
Itachi sighed as he lifted his own hand fire bursting on it as itachi cringed some from not being ready to using his powers right now before fully recovering. Still he would protect his "family" as he had begun to call it not out liud of course it would seem silly but but still it was there. " Armand control your freind before he gets hurt. Preferably before will, lucien or thomas shows back up." said itachi having noticed that they all were not in the building right now. Which meant they were currently guarding the prisoners right now as the fools thomas had there would get themselves hurt before anything else actually useful. " By the way whos turn is it to babysit the prisoners while everyone else is out?" asked itachi refering to raven and kojiro.

Demios looked at Armand and smiled for a moment and nearly left a fighting stance until he herd Anya. He then stood ready "Because I can turn you all into frogs if I want to" He said slightly exaggerating a bit. He then turned to Armand "I've come for Raven, and I need one of you to help me get her" He said. He fully trusted Armand, but the others he didn't so he kept himself ready. "I'm hoping no one will do anything to make me need to use force, I'd like to avoid it if I could, however seeing the typical tactics of the UNS I doubt that'll happen" He said. He then looked at everyone "If things don't go well more than one life will be on the line here" He said. He had an odd feeling that if he didn't keep up some facade then Armand and some of the other people he cared about in the UNS could be hurt.

Noel got her things and faced Will. "I can't believe you can really hate me Will..." she trailed as tears formed in her eyes. "So I guess those were lies all of those years ago..." she trailed. "You know what...I guess it's just best we don't communicate unless it is of dire importance William. And once all of this is over, if you want to kill me...kill me...I've already died" she said getting her things and stepping into the limo.
Aeon was about to accept the tea from Myra when she saw Will and Noel. "Thanks for everything Myra" she said smiling and walking off. She witnessed everything and looked at Noel, she looked very upset. "Yea....you're a jerk" she told Will before getting into the limo.
The clone looked at the train and followed Zane and Moli inside. "So exactly where is this artifact located?" she asked curiously. "This train is awfully big..." she added in as she looked at Moli and Zane.

Lucien nodded lightly and walked back over to Raven'scell. He stepped through the bars his body evaporated as they touched te metal and reformed on the other side. He looked down at them his eyes revealed a mild sadness, for him that was a lot he didn't like to show his feelings he thought it made him seem weak. He looked down at them and using his powers of telekinesis undid their bbinds. "Yotwo have been through enough." He stated. He knew he wasn't permitted to alow them to escape but at least they weren't tied down. "There now you can speak freely, but please don't confue this I am helping you because I do feel pity, even I have a heart. However this is the extent. I'm still the UNS leader and you are still the leader and a member of the Fallen Phoenixs. But.....I wonder if these titles are only causing more problems. Maybe things would have been easier if we were all just Owls not UNS or Fallen Phoenix, or Night Owl." He turned away and looked over his shoulder. "I won't ask you to forgive what we've done but don't hold a grudge against my team, they are just following orders they're all good people." He smiled at his own frail emotions. "And in return. Your family will not be the target of ourrage." He merely stated that annd walked through the bars of the cell again. He knew they could do that much after all the Fallen Phoenixs didn't have a erald or one of the Great Four on their team therefore they weren't high up on Thomas's kill list,

Raven did not make any movement as the bonds were untied. Her wrist stung viciously as old rope burns came back to life with a vengeance “Everyone…has a heart…no matter how much someone fights against it….it remains beating…” For the first time in nearly two months. Raven was able to move her arms, she edged her legs to hang over the side of the table in an attempt to try and sit up. A small hiss escaped her lips as pain rippled through her body “You ask for…too much…Lucien” she mumbled narrowing her eyes “I will…strike at those…who have done me and my family wrong” She gazed towards Kojiro “Fallen Phoenix or not…did he deserve this?..” Raven shifted her body to off the table and fell to her knees with a dull thud. Her trembling hand reached out and stroked through Kojiro’s hair gently “The world…would be…better off without…the government…the weak who fear us…and in return discriminate against us…those who fear the unknown…and see the world…as only theirs…should be...eliminated” One way or another Raven’s mind was set in stone, how can she go back to the way things once were? She has been degraded beyond repair, her mind was not the same, it was different now...
She was about to say something else but in that moment she heard a very faint voice echoing through her mind “Ow…en?” she thought back “…How can it be?”
Nathaniel was glad to be off the plane and in Japan. He was unsure of their actual location and hoped that Benkei would lead the way. At first he was unsure of how the were going to find Nova. The strange island was very pretty if he was to compare it to the rest of the world. The strong cultural background had, despite the wars, remand in place. A few locals were even wearing traditional Kimono’s. Reframing from trying to find his voice like on the plane, Nat pulled out his phone and typed away “Any idea were we are heading?” He thought for a moment before adding “Don’t you have a place here Benkei?…and back in France you seemed to know that guy that took Raven and Kojiro…does that mean he too resides in Japan?”

(( Nova and Genya - Fallen Phoenix - By Benkei and Will's houses.))
Genya observed Nova made his way down to him. Unlike Benkei, Genya wasn’t a xenophobe, but he did have a bad habit of being curious about different species. That was about the only thing that kept him from running away like the coward he was. His curiosity. Standing right outside his home helped too. At first Genya didn’t understand Nova, but Nova must have had some magic that Genya was unaware of because while Nova’s lips didn’t match the sounds that Genya heard, Benkei’s little brother understood the sounds as language. He thought Nova’s description of Will was sort of odd. “Umm, well, you must be talking about Will-san.” But then Nova mentioned Benkei. “Benkei?!!” Genya’s eyes grew wide. “You know Benkei??!! Where is he? How is he? He’s my nii-san (big brother)!!!” Nova’s plan to get Genya to introduce him to Will had totally failed because Genya now was totally into finding out more about his brother. And if Genya’s parents happened to get wind of this news…………. Luckily, Genya’s parents weren’t at home and wouldn’t be back for some time.
((UNS - Will...and Nova))
Will didn’t say anything to Aeon or Noel. Verbally anyway. Throwing insults at Will didn’t affect him. However, Will was not very happy with Noel. She was broken. Fully broken. More so than he had intended. At this rate, he was going to have to fix the God Owl. He couldn’t have the Night Owls completely falling apart. That would mean that a small obscure mark he had slipped onto Noel’s person during their meeting that would give her easier access to certain areas in Japan would not be used to its full potential and a useless move. He couldn’t have that. Will projected to Noel. ~Show some face for your team, Noel. It’s unbecoming of you to cry. The world needs you. Dante trusts his mentor to protect our ‘children’ and rid the world of problems. Put your feelings aside for now. After this is all over, we’ll settle things.~ That use of "our" instead of "his" was purposeful. Since pretty much everyone in the world was younger than Will and Noel (besides Gaeta), that's what everyone could be analogized as. Will shut the limo door after Aimee got in and watched the limo leave. ~They weren’t lies, Noel. ~ He turned and walked back into the house, where Myra was. He touched her face. “Myra, you already know not to ever interrupt me…” He smirked. “Come along now. I have something for you to do. Something you’ll find fun.” After setting out some assignments and orders, Will got into a limo himself and headed for the UNS. On the way, the limo stopped in front of Nova and Genya, and the driver’s seat window rolled down as the driver handed Nova an envelope with a nameless credit card in it for the Fallen Phoenix before driving on. Hopefully, Noel could handle the Fallen Phoenix for him or at least guide them. Will needed to get to the UNS. He dialed on his phone and once Itachi picked up, Will spoke. “Ah, Itachi. What do you have for me?” Somehow, Will knew the UNS had been infiltrated or he had suspicions. Besides, he had something to do there.
-----------------------------
((UNS - Armand, Amaya - UNS building))
Amaya still did not know that Demios was Laharl, but she remembered him from France. He had attacked her even while apologizing to her for some reason that she didn't understand. Amaya had her electricity ready now. Itachi seemed to be in pain, and she was going to make up for him. The idea of frogs seemed ridiculous to her. "Frog?" She looked at Vincent to check on him.
Itachi should know who Demios is. Armand had blurted out during Demios's fight with Will that Demios was Laharl. The scientist knew what Demios was doing. And still, even if Demi was strong, Demi would be facing Itachi, Anya, Amaya, Vincent, and himself. "Demi, frogs will croak and jump at you all over the place until we all go crazy....oh, and well, they'll give you warts." He looked at Itachi. Really? NONE of the three were at the UNS? That was strange. "Well, I guess we're all on guard duty. We haven't seen Raven," Armand replied to Demios. "We don't even know the access codes." Though there was a chance Armand could hack. Lucien would probably override Armand's hacking though, if Lucien got to it quick enough.
((Edited in....finally. Sorry about the lack of Armand-ness thinking.))
----------------------------
((Fallen Phoenix - Benkei - By the airplane? - I don't know where they're supposed to go. sweatdrop Let me know if I need to edit. Anyone, feel free to ghost Benkei and have him take the group to wherever they need to go because he's completely fluent in the language and knows the transportation and areas of Japan if needed. ))
Even if Owen said to find Nova and the Night Owls, did any of them know how? Who was this old friend Owen was talking about? Why weren’t they all going together? Benkei had absolutely no clue where Nova would be. Was Nova even familiar with Japan? Over the long plane ride, Benkei had reorganized his thoughts. He really needed to apologize to Nova. What he had said was pretty bad. The Shield Owl knew where they were (though Scythe didn’t). Life had to go on, and hopefully, they wouldn’t run into his family. He could picture his little brother Genya jumping up and down and trying to do something stupid like decipher the muscle changes and anatomical differences in his appearance since the last time they were together and speak in some science language that Benkei had no hopes of ever understanding.
As for the Night Owls, well, how were they supposed to find them? Benkei could guide the Fallen Phoenix around Japan (although he didn’t know ALL of Japan), but it was sort of stupid if they didn’t know where to look. He saw Nat’s message and sighed. “Not really. Anyone know how to contact Nova?” For Nat’s next message, he sighed again. “Yeah, well, my family lives here. That guy, Will Ojii-san, yeah, he lives next to my family.” He sighed a third time in a row as he closed his eyes. “I don’t know if this is going to work, but hold on.” Benkei concentrated as he focused on the stone in the ground. He could only do this technique of his for a certain distance. Japan had tons of mountains. It was why the Shinkansen had been developed, to create a fast transportation method around the winding mountains of the country.
Luckily, Nova was within range and not on some other island of Japan or too far away. Benkei located him thanks to the stone present in the earth. If Nova had been in the air, Benkei wouldn’t have been able to find him. But the person standing next to Nova, while Benkei couldn’t see him, was totally his younger brother. What was Nova doing at his home? ….and Genya was totally jumping up and down. “Nova’s by my family’s home.” Benkei sighed a fourth time. He looked at Flo. “Uh, you wouldn’t happen to be good at hiding people, would you?” he asked sheepishly. He looked around at Aaliyah and the others, wondering if they had ideas.
One of the methods of transportation they could use to get to his home was through the Shinkansen, or there was the normal train too, bus, and so on....

Demios looked at Amaya he knew she didn't recognize him. "I guess its time to show my true colors" He said. He held his hand up "Identities come and go fast, but its time for a blast from the past" He said. Suddenly a bright light flashed and Demios returned to his true form Laharl. "Sorry to have to hide for so long, but there were reasons, now Armand I'm only going to say this once hack it now" He said. He looked back at Amaya "I know you've become a better fighter, but I'm still going to find Raven no matter what" He said. He looked back at Itachi "I worked for the UNS remember I know how most of you are trained to fight and I'm ready for you" He said.

Aimee got into the limo, thinking about what Will had said. She looked out the window and closed her eyes, thinking she had failed Roulin. But she remembered she was still helping the cause and hopefully that was enough for him, but she knew it wasn't. "Noel, where are we going now?" She asked, looked at the girl with a sad look on her face.

Itachi smirked when laharl revealed his his true form. " Took you long enough to show yourself. Armand told me about you awhile back actually buy still it felt weird." said itachi as his phone rang. When he answered it the familiar voice of will came to his ear as he replied to him. " I was wondering when you would call. Thomas and amara went out somewhere and lucien left the building and has likely got back by now. Also a bird has decided to stop by a raven no less." saoid itachi knowing will knew all too well what he meant by that last part.
Nova smired when he realized his plan may have backfired this time. It didnt matter though when a limo drove by and someone handed him an envelope that he knew was important. It seemed he had some success here after all. "Yes well it seems my business with will just concluded so i suppose i can explain some. Benkei is on his way here he needed funds for something and wanted me to get wills aid for it. Lets just say were going to have quite the party here soon. I assume he's your relative or something?" asked nova casually.

((UNS - Will. Going to wait a bit so the others can respond before I do Armand and Amaya.))
The Satan Owl listened to Itachi’s response, noting that the Heat Owl wasn’t in particularly good shape. “You still couldn’t take the training, weasel? You’ve had it easy this week.” Will smirked at the mention of Demios. He had not forgotten Demios's ability of increasing in power depending on the number and strength of OWLs in the area. Will had a way to counteract that. “Take Armand hostage. Use Vincent if you need to. You can tell the little blackbird I’m coming. I’ll be there in …hmm….let’s just say twenty minutes. Don’t let him leave, and …don’t disappoint me.” He hung up on Itachi, as usual and looked at the limousine driver. “You have nine minutes to get me to Tokyo.” The time it took to get from the limo’s current location to Tokyo was approximately two hours by Shinkansen, an hour by plane, and both of those transportation methods were faster than driving, which would take probably five hours or so. The driver had his ways though. Otherwise he wouldn’t be Will’s driver.

Flo had followed behind Benkei remaing his usual quiet self. Upon being addresed he had to stop and think for a moment. "Well...kinda of...Some water, make-up and i could bend your face temporarily" The blue owl was scratching his chin as he thought, not all to aware of how painful the last part of what he said sounded. "Could give you a disguise for a couple hours...but understand i've not really done this before...should be a good test" Flo gave a small smile.
After leaving Will, L had himself dropped off next to one of the many skyscrapeprs, riding the elevator clear to the top and sitting down to enjoy some take-out curtisy of Will. His eyes retained their glow as he watched the world. "Hmm where to meet you oh succesor of mine...come on pic a spot i could show up or something..." L sighed putting his food back in its little bag.
