"What are you talking about?" Irvine asked as the machine started to move, marking its maiden voyage, one which would probably end with its destruction. He gripped the seat. "She was able to break out of the control from that chip... Nobody and nothing can make her do something she doesn't want to... I know that... She won't be controlled, not by anyone or anything... I have faith in her."

"What if that thing that was controlling her wasn't acting on her mind then though? What if it was just her body? What could she do then?" John suddenly asked from the captain's seat.

Taini folded her arms while leaning against the wall. "Exactly. She may be able to control her mind, but what if she can't tell her body what to do? I know it seems very unlikely, but not impossible." She explained to her brother. "But... Ugh. We're going to be facing SOMETHING soon..." She sighed. "Whether it be Ai, zombies... hell even Raine. She has been the number one suspect on this case. If anything, thank you for giving her the artifact. It made things a lot easier." She winked, knowing the truth.

"... I don't know what you're talking about." Irvine said indignantly, the ship rising toward the Dyecroft. 'It just keeps getting bigger... This ship should be able to hold the whole world... but that thing... It dwarfs us...' He thought. "Ai... Are you waiting for us?" He thought aloud, shaking his head. "I'm coming. Just wait for me..." He said, unsealing his wings. "I'm going ahead!" He said, heading for the hatch.

"Taini, do me a favor, stop your brother before he pulls an Irvine." John said.

"But... but I..." Why do I have to play babysitter? Taini thought mentally. "Do me a favor then, Dad. Watch Derrick for me." She told him before unsealing her wings as well, flying after her twin. "Irvine! You're being... well YOU! Stop!" She cried out. "Dammit... we have to work together you know! Otherwise you're going to get KILLED! Plus, you're making me worried and scared!!! WITH YOUR OWN EMOTIONS!"

"Taini, don't follow me, okay, I have to do this my wa-" Irvine was interrupted by a sudden blast to the face, but it missed... Barely.

"You are not an armored space ship." Came John's voice over the loudspeaker. "And Taini, I can't fly, and you can't pilot this ship, so yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah."

Taini rolled her eyes. He's in the ship near you, stupid. She then removed her bracelet and grabbed Irvine by the back of the collar, dragging him back. "You aren't doing anything your way. You're acting stupid. Your stupid antics got me killed too. I'm not going to let that happen again."

Just then more lasers fired at the ship. And about several hundred more. "We have to get through this... Ugh."

"Dammit, you didn't need to worry about it!" Irvine said as he was dragged back onto the ship.

"Oh, I love my children... Genius retards, the both of you... But not you, babeh Elena, no, you're my special child! You're like good Taini!" He said. The universe wasn't sure if he was being serious or just trying to piss Taini off.

"...You'll regret that someday Dad. Remember? I'm your lovely little terror demon." She mentioned before setting Irvine onto the floor. "Speaking of which, have you forgotten that your first little terror is probably going to give birth to another hellspawn that I'm going to let you take care of because it will think that you are the best grandfather in the world? :3"

Of course the ship was taking lasers like they were just Popsicle sticks being thrown at some poor frail runt child. Except it was more like being thrown at some hulking badass guy.

And shaking like a boat in a storm which was about to capsize. John put on his seatbelt. "BTW, crash landing in 3...-Now." He said, letting everyone else in the chamber, including Derrick's corpse be flung across the windshield. "So, uh... You may want to hold onto something."

Taini groaned as slammed onto the floor. She then stood up, stomped over to John, then proceeded to thrust her finger up his nose. EXCEPT this time, she picked him up with said finger in his nose and flung him to the ground. "I don't care if you're going to 'ground' me as a result. That could have hurt the baby!" She sighed before tapping her feet. "Are you ready to go Irvine?"

Irvine rubbed his head. "Yeah... I think I am..." He said. "Dad, you are an ass." He spoke, walking toward the hatch and stretching out the kinks from being tossed about by both his sister and the ship. "Taini... Last time we were stronger than those that we fought... But... I don't know if we will be able to handle them this time... You know that?" He asked, tightening his bracelet, though he wasn't sure why he was still wearing it. "If they're stronger than us... If they can beat us one on one... Then what will we do?"

"You know, you're rude, and you don't think." Came a voice: John. "And Taini... I think you gave me a nosebleed... ; ;" He continued, sniffling. "A-anyways, We'll fight them all as a family. We can stick together through anything... Especially with our indomitable will!"

"... What... About me?" Came a tired voice as Derrick entered the hall. "You weren't just going to leave me here... Or out of your little speech... Were you?" He asked. "I'm fighting too..." He said, turning to Taini and giving a weak thumbs up.

"Ugh... Fine, fine, we'll use our indomitable will... And Derrick's... Uh... Whatever he has. His weak magic I guess."

"Hey!" Derrick said. "Look, my magic may have been weak before, but the marble's made it a lot more stable, so... Shut up!"

"... Right, this has all been great, so we're all fighting then, but if we're going, then we should go down now and not dawdle." Irvine said with a sigh.

Taini placed a hand to her waist, not at all fond of what was happening. But nevertheless, she knew she had her family, and that's what she could count on most. "Exactly, he actually has some potency with the magic." Gripping her blade she turned to Irvine, having been thinking over his question.

"I don't know... I mean, yeah, we handled an entire army... but what about that new power? Who knows... it may be strong enough to destroy them easily. I don't even know what that new power is, anyway. I've never seen or heard of it in the books." She then walked to the hatch and opened the door. "Well, looks like we are going to have to confront Ai now. Either that or a bunch of insane zombies. Derrick, I AM counting on you to protect me!" She turned her head over to him as she cried out.

Meanwhile...

Beep. Beep.

Click. Click. Beepbeepbeep. Click. Beepbeep. Before a large panel in an old science lab, Ai was seen pressing buttons. Not randomly, but as if she knew what the machine was and its purpose. With the knowledge of technology infused with her, it seemed as if she could activate it no problem.

Irvy... help... me... She thought, wanting to cry as her palm raised to a power supply. What's going on here? A small tube immediately shot from her palm, forcing her to cry out in pain. The object seemed to be alive as it attached itself to the power supply with fueled the internal systems. All at once a flood of information flashed in her brain, causing mass pain. Information of the Dyecroft, the people, Serenity, and Lune Noir, among other bits and pieces were stored into her mind without consent. What is this? I can't handle all this! IRVY!!!

Derrick nodded, running out and watching Taini's back. "Taini, I'll protect you, you just need to let me keep up, alright?" He asked, swallowing dryly. "I won't let you die though... I need to protect you and our unborn child!" He said as Irvine started walking next to them.

"The new power..." He mumbled. "But will we be able to use it again?" He asked softly, looking around. The whole place seemed like a giant cemetery, only one which lacked any headstones. "And even if we are... Is it enough of an advantage?" He asked himself.

John, meanwhile, was swinging about Trinity before latching it to his leg. "Hey, Seres... D'you think we'll have a little bit of fun here?" He asked her. "I mean... This is the first time we've really fought in three years, almost... And the last time we did, we had a lot of extra power... Now I'm just a regular hooman with a butt-ton of experience... But the feelings you have... They're insane, right?"

"I will let you keep up. But if it concerns life or death and you're slow about it, I think I should go a bit faster." She joked. Breathing shallowly, she trailed along, making sure Irvine didn't just run off and do something stupid. "Could be an advantage. We won't die. We're too stubborn to die."

Serenade then appeared in front of Taini pointing out the obvious, "Except you did die."

"Will you stop bringing it up? And I came back, so that only furthers my point." She then turned to John as she continued to float in the air. "Yeah, they're insane. In fact, something bad just happened. We should probably hurry along." She explained before taking off ahead of them. "By the way, I would love a good fight!!"

"W-wait! Mom! Ugh... well wherever she is, it's probably where Raine or Ai is." Taini stated before breaking into a run herself, Trinity already unsheathed and ready for action.

Irvine, however, didn't waste time on running, instead unsealing his orange wings and setting into the air, then dashing forward, beating his sister's pace, but not keeping anywhere near his mother's one. "Ai... I'm going to find you... And I've decided... I'm going to bring you back... With that power... I'll find a way to use it again." He said. "Because I..." He closed his eyes and gulped. 'Just be safe...' He thought.

"H-hey, wait up!" Derrick said, running forward, trying to keep up with his wife and failing miserably. "Sheesh, say one thing and do another, act one way when you speak of others..." He mumbled, gripping the marble on his wrist. "Taini, just stay by me!" He shouted, causing John to laugh, though he hadn't started running yet.

"Sheesh, don't slow everyone down, Pipsqueak! I don't want to have to protect you now!" The man said, crouching, then running forward, quickly catching up with his daughter and son-in-law. "But I guess this is a good a time as any to get serious!" He said, smiling. "Seres, want to see who'll do the most damage?" He asked.

Serenade suddenly poofed in front of John, grinning. "Thought you'd never ask. I may be a physically frail and weak goddess, but I bet I can make minds asplode." She laughed before poofing again and continuing to fly ahead of everyone.

Taini blinked, a little agitated before she slowed down. "Just don't want Irvine... to be in... Well Mom is going to be there, so it won't be a huge deal..." She explained to herself. "Besides, the further away he is, the less worry I will suffer through. Seriously, all his worrying is making ME sick." She sighed before waiting for Derrick. While tapping her feet. As if impatient.

"Alright, Dear... I'll stick by you. I just... I'm sorry for running so fast! ...And getting a head start!" She chuckled. "But Dad's right, the slower you are, the more of the action we miss out on! :("

Derrick soon caught up, shaking his head. "It's not about the action though..." He said. "It's about our family... We're fighting for his safety. Both of us. For a world he can live in." He explained. "That's why I need to stay with you. So we can fight together..." He said, now running ahead of her, though he knew she could match his pace. "... I kinda feel sorry for your brother... Even with all of us here... He's still the only one who's fighting alone in this." He said, looking to see Irvine flying further ahead. "It must be very hard."

Shrewd and truer words there never were, and surely Taini must have felt it as well, Irvine flying, mired down with doubt, guilt, and worry, even as he continued, putting on a front of calm. He flew, his eyes only seeing in front of him as he continued, thinking of Ai's well being, as well as a wonder as to why they had not encountered any enemies, despite the incredible resistance they had needed to fly through to arrive on the vessel.

"Yeah, well I can do stuff you won't even believe!" John retorted, running with a small smile. What can I say, he's just a simple guy sometimes.

John and his simplicity.

Serenade found the building, then turned around to see Irvine. "Irvine... She is right in there." Serenade pointed out as she decided to have Irvine go in first. She then decided to sit down and wait, her eyes to the moon. Sniffing the air, she groaned. "Thus it begins... There may be no hope for this one. I'm not sure if even I can handle multiple Angelus of godly strength... It's funny. For once in my life I'm doubting my own strength!" She began to laugh.

Taini stopped for a moment, but not before grabbing Derrick by the shoulder. Feeling this massive wave of emotions hit her, she turned away. "Derrick. It's his battle. We may be a family, but Ai is his one and only. Let him fight the battle this time. I'm sure he can take her home. For now..."

Just then a hand shot from the ground, gripping the ground as if it was struggling to push itself out.

"Knew it. This is not going to be a fun one." She sighed. "Derrick. This will probably be the hardest battle we will ever fight. Tougher than Liege. Hell, tougher than 100 Lieges. Maybe... no... some as powerful as Mom." She then raised her blade.

"I hope you're ready, Dearest."

Irvine nodded and blasted his way right into the building. "Ai! I'm coming for you!" He said, flying ahead and turning corners faster than anyone could imagine. It must have been mere seconds after his mad dash had started that he found the room where she was. He breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that she was seemingly uninjured. "Ai... I found you..." He said. "Are you alright?" He asked.

~~~~~

"He won't die here... I know that..." Derrick spoke as the hand came up.

"I dwell amidst the abounding light of heaven."

"Thou art at the gate to the underworld."

"Come forth, thunder of the gods!"


"What the heck is that?" Derrick exclaimed, completely stunned by the hand's sudden appearance. "Gah! Kill it, kill it!

"This ends here... Indignation!!" He exclaimed, blasting the hand to hell.

"It can't be..."

"Wow, look at the pretty lightning." John said, blinking. "Anyway, Seres, there's no need to doubt. You're stronger than you ever more, hell, you could probably end this instantly if you need to... But for now, everyone needs time to grow."

Ai slowly turned her head. "Irvine..." She breathed before she screamed again, feeling another tube shoot out from her palm, easily piercing the flesh and skin. It suddenly shot into another tube that was within the computer. More information flowed through her mind. Little did they know that a black moon was soon eclipsing the moon.

~~~~~~

Serenade sighed. "I really highly doubt this one. If zombie angelus that were very powerful from long ago were here... We would be screwed."

"Tch." Taini whirled her blade as she looked to Derrick. "Derrick, I thought you were going to... ugh still have your cowardice at times." She mumbled before rushing at the hand before it had a chance to emerge. Only it did emerge, blowing back Taini and about a mile of ground. "Augh!" Taini cried out as she flew about a hundred feet. Luckily, she managed to land like a cat.

What appeared from the debris was a soulless body, of a man with blue hair and two katars at his side. Well built as well, with blank eyes.

"Yeah... we're screwed." Serenade sighed before throwing herself into position.
