DISCLAIMER: DO NOT REUPLOAD MY STORIES! I regularly reverse search all my stories and when I find just a single one reuploaded somewhere else, specifically Wattpad, I will file DMCA takedowns and hunt down the original authors of any other work that is reuploaded on the same profile or site, then I notify those other authors who have had their work blatantly stolen. I don't go beyond filing the DMCA takedowns, but other authors may not be as kind. Entire accounts have been shut down this way, so don't steal shit. Write it yourself.

I don't own Chrno Crusade or any of its characters. Both belongs to Moriyama Daisuke

"Azmaria, the seal!" Rosette exclaimed, turning towards the timid girl that began to frantically run around and place the crosses in the ground. The blonde's head whipped back again and she began to shoot at the demon. She cursed under her breathe, as all of a sudden only a click sounded from her gun. She reached into her pocket, but didn't find any new bullets. "Chrono! I need bullets!"

"Okay!" The demon set down the large case on his back with a thump, hastily opening it. He halted his actions when he suddenly heard a scream. "Rosette!" he yelled, seeing his partner being shoved into a wall by a demon. Said creature turned towards Chrono, approaching him with unbelievable speed.

Seemingly out of nowhere, a figure appeared, red hair swaying in the wind. "It seems you can't handle even this one demon by yourself," Satella uttered smugly.

Without wasting another second, the red-haired woman reached out her gloved hand, pressing two fingers to it.

"Laden!"

The emerald-colored stone and the three yellow ones surrounding it began to glow.

"Rise!"

She began to motion circles with her hands in the air, the green glow forming two rings around her.

"The brave… May!"

The two green rings glowing brightly shot up, clashing together and seeming to fuse. Out of the explosion, cristal-like forms began to grow. Those crystals grew longer until they broke apart, revealing limbs. The next moment, a large, brightly shining armor with a cape, at least three times the size of Satella, stood behind her, wielding what must have been a sword.

"Rip it apart, like lightning striking the fresh green: Mutiger Stier!"

With the stone still glowing atop her hand, she made a motion as if striking something, the armor mirroring her movement suit.

"Verschwinde!"

That one attack caused the large demon to burst out into angry crimson flames, the creature's wails slowly subsiding to silence.

In front of the bright fire, Satella stood, hand cupping her chin with a smug expression on her face. "See?" she uttered, turning around to face the others. "That's how you–" No one was to be seen and a small confused noise left the redhead as she searched her surroundings.

Groans then sounded from a dark corner and Satella's head immediately whipped towards the sound. In the semi-darkness were Rosette, Chrono and Azmaria, all of them knocked out, while the other demons made their escape to continue the rampage.

Rosette was the first one to muster up enough strength again to speak. "Satella-san…" she groaned, "your summoning takes too long!"
