Irvine growled just a little, then approached her slightly, his eyes having changed to the much less malicious red once again. That's right... PUPPY DEMON IRVINE'S BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!

Ai took a step closer, mumbling a little. "Come on, I have been worried about you all day. Where have you been?" She asked in Mizuhoan.

Irvine didn't give any real response, instead approaching her and rubbing up against her. At least he wasn't panting, but he wasn't speaking either. He would calm down sooner or later though, thanks be to Ai.
"So... Should we get going?" Derrick asked. "Or maybe should we get the artifact back from him?"

Of course what Derrick DID not seem to catch was the fact that Taini had already left, and was in a cafe, eating her fiftieth pumpkin donut until she was in a donut induced coma. Which wasn't possible, but hey. Oh right, and the fact that she already told Derrick that the woman took the damn artifact.
"Stupid Derrick... Stupid Ai... Stupid Irvine. Everyone's so stupid." She sighed as she tapped her fingers on the table. Taking a sip of her coffee hot cocoa, she then mulled over the woman.
She has most of the artifacts I bet... What did they call her? I forgot. What wouldn't I do to just take off the bracelet, go into demonata, and destroy the world. No wonder why mom and grandma wanted to do it.
~~~~~
Ai quickly reddened while stammering. "Ah... ah... go-good Irvine?" She blinked as she suddenly hugged him. "I... well can you come?" She asked before pulling back.

Irvine continued to follow her quietly while his energy started to taper out, eventually leaving him a halfway sane angelus person.
~~~~~
Derrick groaned, then immediately headed to Taini's favorite doughnut place, landing with a sigh. "I knew that you would be here." He said.

By the time that happened, Ai was already at the house. "So, feeling any better?" She asked Irvine while she folded her arms. "You seemed to be very grumpy today."
~~~~~
"Derrick, go away. I'm pretty angry at the moment. And I don't think it has to do with the link either." She said as she popped in what would be considered her sixty fourth donut. "Frankly, I just want to go find that woman and rip her head off right about now."

"... Well if we really have the only artifacts left..." Derrick pointed out. "Couldn't we just use them to draw her out?" He asked. "Maybe we can get some answers and recover the other artifacts." He pointed out.
~~~~~
"No..." Irvine said, shaking his head. "I wanted to find some more answers." He explained as the radio was turned on.
"In Palmacosta right now, we interview little Sally whose entire family, as well as the entire population, moved in no more than 5 minutes ago." Said an announcer.
"Why, Yulia, why?" Little Sally asked.
"But... I saw that strange army attack... They were far too strong."

"You're not going to get away from me, are you?" Taini asked before munching on her final donut and sighed. Lowering her head, she listened to her husband's words and thought for a moment. "She wants the artifacts? Well, you're right. I know exactly how to lure her too." That is when she produced an artifact that looked exactly like her necklace. "I am switching it out with my necklace. Just to be safe. She will find us if we do not hide. So all we have to do is attack after. But here is the baffling thing. She smells... nice."
~~~~~
"Army attack...? What army attack?" Ai asked as she sat down on the grass right next to her door. "I mean... we had an army attack?"

"In Palmacosta. The people there were being killed by a huge army... I could barely fight them... And that was without the bracelet... They were practically dominating me back there, at least right up until I went demonata." Irvine said.
~~~~~
"Nice?" Derrick asked, a little stunned. "I... I really can't believe it... But I wish she would at least give us all a little more to go on, don't you?"

"I do, but..." Taini gazed at Derrick, her eyes suddenly fierce. "We need to at least talk to her. I don't know who she is or why she is doing this, but it seems to be with good intent. That is what is confusing me." Switching her necklace with the fake, she began to smirk. "But I know how we can find her. As she flew by, I slipped in a tracker. Clever, huh?"
~~~~~
"So why not go after them and go demonata? I can always calm you down after!" Ai told him as she stood back onto her feet. "You know you could take on an entire army!"

"... That's the thing, I don't think I could... As I said, they were TOO powerful! I couldn't even compare to them." Irvine shook his head. "They bombed the city because I was an irritation... I was lucky to survive as well as I did." He sighed. "And they were all angelus too... It was unsettling... Like they Dyecroft nation... But that's been gone for years."
~~~~~
"... How the hell...?" Derrick asked. "I mean... That would have required... RIDICULOUS amounts of preplanning... To the point that you would have needed to see the future on... At least three or four layers of impossibility..."

"Actually... I just had a tracker randomly. Kinda easy from there. It's just a regular old tracker," Taini replied with a sweatdrop. "Sometimes I wonder about you, my Dear." She sighed before walking, whipping out her cell phone. "Well, already have leads on where she is!"
~~~~
"What Dyecroft Nation? That one in the old tale? The one that fell hundreds of years ago?" Ai asked as she turned her head. "I don't really know much about it, however. Except that it fell during the war between the angelus and humans..."

"... Exactly." Irvine said. "Ever since then, there has never been a unified army of Angelus... And none that were so powerful as that..." Irvine sighed. "It was completely unsettling." He muttered.
~~~~~
"... but... She flew by so fast!" Derrick said. "You can't have seriously planned for that..." He groaned. "I guess let's just go... Lousy plot..."

"I could have!" Taini pointed out as she suddenly took charge of the rheiard (DON'T.ASK.LOVE.) and drove off to find Raine. "And I did!"
~~~~~
"Do we even have armies any more? Isn't this... well I wouldn't say peaceful but..." Ai sighed. "Either way, we should do something about it. Like... well investigate!"

"You're sounding like my sister." Irvine said.
~~~~~
"I ALMOST DIED!" Derrick exclaimed as they flew further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further away from where they were. Then they found Raine.
"You've been running further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further and further away from us! Now tell us who you are! Or else!" He said.

"Well... there doesn't really seem to be anything else we can do about it. You don't want to kick their butts, and they shouldn't be left alone, so..." Ai shrugged. "Only option left is to investigate and find their weak spot."
~~~~
Derrick, sometimes I wonder if you're no better than my father in the intelligence department. The woman glanced upward and sighed before removing her goggles.
Raine looked to the both of them and raised her brows. "Hm? Me? Why are you two so demanding of me?"
Taini merely shrugged in response. "We have the artifact you are looking for, that's what."
Raine eyed it for a moment. "...You are no different than that blue-eared man. Always straightforward and cautious."
"Well, we know you have been hunting for them. I saw you back at the cave..."
"So you must be his sister. I am Raine. I am on a journey to collect the artifacts."
"For what purpose!?" Taini barked.
"What purpose?" Raine asked, "To protect the world and extend its time so I can search for a way to save this planet."
"That's our job. And we know how to do it. How about a deal?" Taini asked suddenly. "I know there is nothing but a positive outcome for this... as the world will be temporarily restored... so I will consider exchanging the artifact. But I want something in exchange."

Nearby, a set of eyes were casually observing the scene. "I see... This could certainly be interesting." Their owner said to him or herself.
Derrick sighed. 'Totally not what I had intended there...' He thought, looking up. 'But what's your plan, Taini? What could be worth handing over the artifact? What if she figures out that it's a fake?' He thought. 'Too many things can go wrong...'
~~~~~
"... If they have one." Irvine said, standing back up, only to hold his side from a tinge of pain. "Damn..." He groaned. "Ugh... Right... I guess I pushed it a little too hard there... No!" He said. "I have to keep going... I guess we should look into the wreckage in Neuestadt."

"What could that be?" Raine asked as she floated in the air.
"Tell me who you really are." Taini demanded.
"I told you who I w-"
"Bullshit. You want to save the world like the rest of us, but you do not work with us."
"I have my rea-"
"Bullshit, once again! We'd be that much closer in helping this planet if you work with us!"
"...So what is it that you really want?"
"Your necklace."
"My amulet!? This is a personal keepsake!"
"...Then I will not give up the artifact. What is more important to you?" Taini folded her arms as she closed her eyes. Sorry, Derrick. I hope you didn't notice what I did before...
"...Very well." Raine flew over to Taini, unclasping her keepsake and handing it over. Taini graciously accepted it and exchanged it with the artifact. "Thank you." Raine bowed her head.
"I shouldn't be trusting you, but that is why I am on guard." Taini admitted. "If you pull one dirty thing, I won't hesitate to come at you and take you in."
"You can trust me." Raine told her before flying off.
~~~~~
"Why there?" Ai asked as she unsealed her wings and hovered in the air, waiting for Irvine. "I mean, it is only a wreck now..."

"No, That's not it." Irvine said. "But that was where I first encountered this army... And that soldier with my face.. I think... It just has to be connected somehow... There's something about it... That's all."
~~~~~
Derrick remained silent, not wanting to mess up whatever Taini's plans were.

Taini turned her head to Derrick before sighing. "I know you're going to be upset with me, Derrick. But..." She fished out the 'artifact' and tossed it away. "I gave her the real one. We should go alert Mom and Dad."
~~~~~
"What could be it...? I mean, did they dress like the soldier back when you were attacked in Mizuho?" Ai asked.
