"They're going to kill us any minute." Xavier said with a smirk. "I don't think they'd be wasting their time on an elaborate ruse to trick two dead men."
"He's right," Meldamiriel said. "I'm ashamed that it took my sister this long."

It had taken about thirty minutes before Susanoo and Tsukuyomi made it to the coast of the United States. At that point, they simply followed the orders their grandfather gave them, and took one of the many sigils connecting to the location of the mall.
After a bit of walking, they appeared in Ammy's field of view. "Ah. There she is," Susanoo pointed with his thumb. This elicited a nod from Tsukuyomi, who opted to simply stand there while Susanoo walked forward, raising one of his hands. "Yo, imouto. Heard you needed help from your brothers."
Wren raised an eyebrow when she saw the goliath of a man enter. His 'human' form was that of a very tall male, being over 6'7" in height with bushy brown hair and a large beard that matched. His upper and lower body seemed to be toned to bodybuilder levels. He was definitely imposing. "Well then," she said lowly.

"Well, Ana was quite a loose-cannon. During her time in Valhalla, she... well, she committed some very bad crimes," Evangeline said to Alexis. "Crimes against the very nature of mortals."
"You idiots are finally here.. Alright. We need help with decoys. Magic's kinda your thing." Amaterasu stated, crossing her arms. She eyed her twin with an annoyed gaze, rolling her eyes slightly. "You and Kago were at each others' throats again, weren't you." She muttered to Susanoo, sighing.
"She's a hell of an actress, so she's got that going for her at least." Xavier quipped. "Now can your pals get this going? I'm getting bored and I hate being cooped up in a cage like this."
"Holy crap he's huge," Ken said as he looked up at Susanoo's human form in amazement. "Okay I think we've got a few more cards to fight with now," he laughed confidently.
"Yeah, well," Susanoo said, rolling his hand. "He started it. Like always. Douchebag aniki."
Tsukuyomi grumbled, calling over. "Get on with it!"
"Yeah, yeah. Decoys, got it," Susanoo responded. "And what about the little ones here?"
"I'm not little," Wren responded to the creature, eliciting a smirk from him.
"You are to me, little angel," he winked at her.
Wren frowned. "I'm not an angel, either."
Concordia sighed. "Children. Focus," she said to both of them. "Lord Susanoo," she smiled to him. "Thank you for enlisting your help."
"No prob, Miss Concordia," Susanoo said to the woman, bowing a bit to her.

"Oh, most definitely," Meldamiriel said to Xavier. "And I'll ensure the end comes swiftly for you." She turned around, closing her eyes before the projection disappeared.
When Meldamiriel exited the book, she sighed a bit before looking at Alfonso. "I believe it's time for your priest to execute them."

The group stood on a hilltop, overlooking the cathedral. Well-hidden, surrounded by trees and and other natural barriers, it was nearly inaccessible from the outside without bringing tools. Of course, magic and the like would've yielded many issues. However, the group had been teleported there by Concordia, who had used something of a "backdoor entrance" through space to bypass their sensors. Now, it was time for them to rundown their plan.
Wren looked to the group. "Some of us need to ensure extraction; that'll be a combined effort between me, Amaterasu, Amber, and April. Whatever they have in there, it'll be safer that we have each other," she looked at Ken. "You'll be outside with Tsukuyomi and Susanoo-"
"Lord Tsukuyomi," the male said with a gripe to his voice.
The Celestial shot him a dirty look before turning back to Ken. "We'll be going in after Concordia distracts the angels. Speaking of which..."
"Yes, I can see them," Concordia said, her eyes trained on the compound. There were figures standing guard, unmoving and waiting. However, to her surprise, they weren't donned in the armor of Heaven. Rather, they were dressed as Valkyries. Her eyes narrowed. "Those, however, are not angels. They're Valkyries."
Wren's eyes widened, looking at Concordia. "What?!"
"Honestly, why did I have to be stuck with a twin like you?" Amaterasu scowled at Tsukuyomi, rolling her eyes at the title he had given himself. She then turned to her older brother, shaking her head. "Anyway. Let's get to work. Try not to kill each other. If you can help it." With that, the wolf went over to join the extraction team.
Raku got off the bench, stepping into the graveyard with a two roses; one black, and one red. She laid them on one of the many headstones, before approaching the cathedral's doors with a somber expression.
Concordia stepped forward before the group did, walking toward the edge of the cathedral courtyard. When she did, the stationed Valkyries were all quick to turn their blades toward her, questioning whom she was. However, the woman only smiled. Then, in what seemed to be quicker than an instant, the Valkyrie fell to her knees. She was unconscious before she hit the ground, and the entire group closed in on Concordia, leaving the doors open while they chased her - rather peacefully - retreating figure into the forest.
Wren motioned for the group to follow her, entering the courtyard. "Distraction team, you're in first," Wren said to them.
Tsukuyomi closed his eyes, lifting his hand while an aura powered in it. Three golems of luminous, green energy sprang to life around him, and the regal being entered the cathedral doors alongside them calmly. Susanoo, however, wasn't as silent. A charge through the doors was all he needed to do, the hulking beast of a man rushing into the halls while Tsukuyomi went the other way. Soon, gunshots and shouting filled the halls.
Though quite impressed with their gung-ho attitudes, Wren didn't miss a beat. "Extraction team, inside," she said, walking briskly into the cathedral.
Amber saluted. "Roger!" She drew her guns, going into the cathedral.
"I like the way you two work!" Ken called out in excitement as he followed after Tsukuyomi and Susanoo. He entered the cathedral, pulling out his sword and immediately firing a slash of wind out to stun some of the exorcists that were at the entrance. "Time to let loose," he grinned, his eyes becoming crimson as his fangs came out.

Alfonso nodded his head, only to hear a slight noise from another part of the cathedral. "I can see why you're saying that," he said, taking out his sword as he looked at the Celestial for a moment. "Why is it that the Celestials are just now calling to us, it's not something that usually happens."
***
Don didn't say anything for a while once Meldamiriel left, instead turning towards Xavier. "I'm weak..."
April was choosing not to engage. She had never been a fighter. She was a climber who stuck to the shadows, sneaking by things. Or using other distractions if she couldn't sneak. But the high ceilings in the cathedral and the chaos of the others battling made it easy. She could feel Xavier's presence nearby. He was close. And unharmed.
"Hold on for just a few more minutes." Xavier said quietly to Don. "Can you feel it? The cavalry has arrived."
"Not much to be confused about really." Xavier said with a smile. "We get busted out of this place, fight our way out. I gut Wren like a fish, then I get the hell out of that house before more batshit Celestials come. There's exorcists and Valkyries and all sorts of shit we don't want to deal with." He chuckled. "I'll have to rope Rose and April into helping me pack I suppose."
Xavier rolled his eyes. "You're blinded by the fact you want to sleep with her." He winked. "I don't blame you, she's quite the looker but... it's the truth. Her sister... said as much. Plus has us locked up here." Xavier pointed out.
