Okay, since I never gave a description for Faucor, I'll give it here in this chapter.


The room was like an ordinary courtroom. The chairs were neatly arranged, a somewhat elegantly carved fence with a gate in it was in front of the chairs. There was a scribe's seat along with a witness seat, both adjacent to the judge's seat. Two doors were close by the witness and scribe seats and a double door was opposite the judge's seat. Two tables were in front of the fence. Four colored glass windows were on its walls, as was a Lady Justice behind the judge's seat. There were two soldiers for each door in the courtroom, numbering six in total plus two bailiffs.

Faucor, an average height reploid with short red hair and blue eyes, was standing in a sleek looking tux, looking at his watch.

"Almost time," he said, looking up at the door where the judge would come out.

Ciel was sitting, handcuffed, in one of the chairs behind the table. Cerveau, also in a tuxedo, was sitting next to her.

"All rise," one of the bailiffs said as the judge came out.

The whole audience stood, including Ciel as Hirondelle, a tall, yet girly looking, reploid, stepped out, dressed in a judge's robe. He sat down, and the audience sat down.

He looked up at the audience before asking, "The court will now proceed with the opening statements."

Faucor stood up and addressed the court, "Your honor, I've come to you today to testify against the individual known as Ciel. She was held in high respect and was known for being a peace maker." He paused. "It was on the day of March the 10th, 21XX. I wanted to have an interview with Ciel, asking her about what she planned to do. This is what I was told."

He walked over to the table where his laptop lay, hooked up to the courtroom speakers, and clicked the mouse, starting an audio recording.

"Just some questions about your new plans," Faucor, in the recording, had said.

"Sure, go ahead."

"So where do you plan to put the new police department?" he had asked.

"I plan on destroying the Resistance base and replacing it with the police department."

Ciel's jaw dropped.

"How do you plan on destroying it?" he asked.

"I'm going to blow it up," she said.

"When?" he asked.

"On Saturday, the 18th."

"What time?" he asked.

Ciel sighed at this point. "At 4:00."

Faucor paused the recording at this point. "Here she threatened me that if I told anyone, she would shoot me. The data was somehow corrupt at this point, so you can't glean any information from it."

He fast forwarded the recording and started it again.

"I will shoot you."

"That's a dirty lie!" Cerveau yelled, jumping to his feet from his chair. "Ciel would never do that!"

"The evidence," Faucor said sternly, "has shown itself." He pointed at Ciel. "She was gone when this happened, conveniently avoiding the bombs that happened."

"She was gone to blow up Dr. Weil's old memorial!" Cerveau yelled.

"True," Faucor admitted. "but she was still gone when this happened. Precisely at 4:00, like she said."

"Order!" Hirondelle exclaimed, banging his gavel.

Cerveau and Faucor looked back at the judge.

"We will give a careful inspection of the evidence. It seems that there are abnormalities in it. It doesn't click into place," Hirondelle said. "Court is adjourned until further notice."

Faucor closed up his laptop and walked out, sliding through the crowd to get to the exit first. The bailiffs came to take Ciel to her cell. Cerveau grabbed her arm and she looked at him.

"Don't worry, Miss Ciel," he said. "Everything will be all right."


Hirondelle was sitting in his room, doubting the evidence that was proposed by Faucor while Perroquiet was analyzing the audio recording in another room.

"Ugh," Hirondelle groaned. "Why did I ever take this job?"

A soft thump on the floor behind Hirondelle startled him, causing him to look slowly over his shoulder.

"Zero?" he asked quietly, but then noticed the red eyes. A swift movement from the figure and Hirondelle was dead, the shot being abnormally quiet from the figure's gun.

Omega stared at Hirondelle, carefully analyzing his dimensions.

Analyzing complete... Assume disguise?

Omega's appearance changed to look like Hirondelle, complete with judge's robe. Omega then put his gun back on the holster that was on his back.

"Luckily," Omega said, voice also sounding like Hirondelle, "this robe covers my sabers."

He looked around the room, looking for a suitable place to hide Hirondelle's body. Footsteps were walking down the hallway, causing Omega to look at the door in fear. He grabbed Hirondelle's body and stuffed it in a closet. He put some handcuffs that he found on the table and locked the closet with them. The door opened and Perroquiet walked through it.

"Hirondelle? Are you okay?" he asked, seeing Omega's disheveled appearance.

Omega stood there for a second, wondering why Perroquiet was calling him Hirondelle when he remembered that he looked like Hirondelle.

"Yeah," he said, making his appearance look more suitable. "I'm fine."

"Anyway, I've analyzed the audio and I couldn't find any evidence of it being spliced. It even has the corrupt data part still in it, but it nevertheless has abnormalities."

"Thanks," Omega said. "Gather everyone and tell them that court will be in session at 6:00 P.M."

"Right away!" Perroquiet said, walking out the door.

Omega stood there, looking down at the floor.

"I'm sorry, Ciel, but there's nothing I can do," he thought.

"Nonsense, Omega. You're doing wonderful!" Omega could hear Alpha's voice.

Omega scoffed, closed the room's door, and sat down on the chair that Hirondelle was sitting in before he met his demise.


"All rise," one of the soldiers said.

Omega walked through the door, sat down, and sighed

"The audio recording has been analyzed and there has been no evidence of tampering," he let out a breath of air. "The court has found the defendant," he swallowed. "Ciel guilty."

Cerveau jumped to his feet again as the audience murmured. "That's not how a court is run!"

Omega looked at Cerveau. "The court has made its decision and that's final!" he said, trying hard not to let his voice fail.

The bailiffs looked in shock at Omega, receiving a glare from him, and moved up to Ciel to take her away. When one of them got close, Cerveau clenched his fist and punched one of them in the face. The other retaliated and gave Cerveau an uppercut, knocking him to the ground.

"Cerveau!" Ciel yelled.

Cerveau looked up at her.

Ciel smiled sadly and said, "I'll be all right."

She turned to the bailiffs and they took her through the door that was by the scribe's seat, escorted by the two soldiers that were standing by that door. Faucon looked at Omega and grinned, but Omega just looked down and walked through the other door, causing Faucon's face to turn to a scowl. Cerveau picked himself off the floor and headed out the courtroom double doors, making a beeline for his lab. He changed back into his scientist clothing and set to work creating some small cylindrical things.
