Iyago walked briskly towards the church, He stopped for a few moments at his apartment. When he emerged, he was no longer wearing his ratty trench coat, but a black hoodie that boldly pronounced 'PREPARE YOURSELF!' He was only a few blocks away from the front doors of the church when he realized he was being tailed.

Iyago turned to face his pursuers, not all that surprised to find that Akeno and Koneko.

"So, you followed me," Iyago called back to them, "Turn back, this isn't your fight."

"We can't let you go there alone." Akeno said.

"You'd get your ass kicked." Koneko agreed.

"Oh, and just what could you contribute, battle through a passive aggressive stare down?

"Do you even know who you're talking to?" Koneko retorted, "She's the one who jump started your dying heart, you could be a little thankful."

"You control lightning?" Iyago asked.

"I am the Priestess of Thunder, after all" Akeno said.

Iyago was silent for a moment, then continued to walk. He pulled out an old Ipod from his pocket and put in his earbuds. AC-DC began to blast into his eardrums, and he started tapping his led to the tune of 'Back in Black'

The church was coming into view just as the song ended. Iyago pulled out one of the buds, and jogged up the hill. As he arrived at the front of the building, the doors flew open, just a few meters from his bike.

"Coming back here was very brave of you," The woman in the doorway said, "though it's not very smart."

"Get lost." Another woman said, standing just behind the first.

"I'm only here for my bike, so if you'd kindly just..." Iyago began.

"Take the damn thing and get out of here, don't EVER come back, do I make myself clear?" The woman in front snarled.

"Yeah, fuck you too." Iyago called as he turned the key. The engine roared to life.

Iyago peeled off, throwing the bike into a wheelie. The smell of burning rubber followed him as he rode down the hill, away from the fallen angels.
