Louise stood between a patch of trees atop a hill that eclipsed Mott's manor. The manor was about half the size of the Vallière estate and had slightly thick, five meter high walls. Inside of the estate, Louise could see patrols of armed guards walking the length of the walls and a few servants doing cleaning outside of the buildings. She opened up her bracelet and spoke quietly to Legion, who was only a few meters behind her, so he would not be noticed.
"Do you have the scans of the estate?"
"Affirmative"
"Tell it to me"
"The Mott estate consists of a total of one hundred and twelve life signs. Seventy eight of the life signs are armored. Of these, a third are patrolling the perimeter. The other two thirds are scattered around the grounds and buildings. The remaining thirty four are unarmoured and are considered non-combatants."
"Have you located Siesta or Count Mott?"
"There are two energy signatures in a large room on the second floor believed to be the master bedroom suite, both have accelerated heart rates, and one has increased testosterone levels."
"Dammit, that's them then, well need to work fast."
"Affirmative, alert, injuring or killing of a noble will result in political consequences if discovered."
"I realize that, I'll need you to provide a diversion so I'm not seen."
"Two options are available. Option one, I shall invade the compound and begin dismantling the front of the building."
"Definitely loud, but then you'll be seen and could be recognized. What's option two?"
"I can jettison all ten hallucinogenic grenades into the estate, effectively giving all personnel inside severe hallucinations. Only you shall be immune because of your infusion."
"Hmm, combine them, use the hallucinogenic gas and then go in and kill any guards you see, while dismantling the building."
"Affirmative, what of non-combatants?"
Louise closed her eyes and thought to herself for a moment before answering. "It would be preferable for them to live, only kill them if they directly attack you."
"Affirmative, I shall begin the mission in t-minus one minute. Addendum, take this" Legion's synthetic tone drawled as a small box ejected from his chest and landed beside Louise. She quickly picked it up and put in on her belt; which was sitting over her slightly low cut leather pants.
"Thank you Legion, commence the mission until I've completed my objective" Louise stated as she ran off leaving Legion alone on the hillside.
Within seconds he began moving forward toward the estate. As soon as he was within range, he released all ten of the hallucinogenic grenades, making sure at least three of them went through windows of the estate. Within moments, the whole estate was in chaos as guards and servants ran amok from the various hallucinations they were having. After waiting a good minute, Legion walked into the estate, tearing through the metal bar gate like it was paper. In seconds he was in front of the manor itself. At this time, Legion realized that while his scans gave a good picture of the building, they did not scan the height correctly. The manor's vaulted ceilings made its entire two stories almost as tall as his ten meter tall casing. Not that it would make a difference when he began demolishing it. With a massive swing, he began the deed; his arms tore through the flimsy wood and stone building like it was aluminum. Within a minute, the entire front of the manor was in pieces and people were running around screaming in madness; making time for his bonus objective. He turned around and proceeded to kill every guard he spotted. It was simple considering that all of the guards were awake and fighting each other in the main yard by this time, making them easy targets.
As Legion picked up the last living guard, who was flailing madly, an explosion rang out from the back of the manor. Master had completed her objective, time was up. With a quick twist he threw the guard's body into the crumbling manor and left the estate to meet with Louise at the designated point.

As Louise got up to the top of the wall, she could only see two guards right below the master bedroom's window. Preparing to take them out, Legions gas grenades began hitting the estate and a loud crash grabbed the attention of both guards, who were just outside the gasses range it seemed.
"I don't know what that was, but I'll go check it out, you stay here" the one guard said as he ran off around the building, leaving only one guard between her and Siesta.
Silently, Louise dropped from the wall and snuck up behind the guard. Using her Tiberium knife or her magic would yield bad results, especially since she forgot her wand on her bed. She shook her head and slowly got closer to him. As soon as she was within two feet, she jumped up onto him, landing her legs on either side of his head and with a quick twist of her legs and hips, broke his neck with minor noise. His body dropped to the ground like a wet towel and within seconds, Louise was climbing up the wall by the few natural handholds there were in the manor's construction.

Siesta stood nervously in Count Mott's bedroom awaiting what she hoped was just conversation. Having been forced to work for him had so far not been too bad, as all the other servants had been nice, if almost apologetic. Granted that worried her more than anything. She was about to sit down when the door clicked open and Count Mott came in, closing and locking the door behind him.
"Good, you're here just as you were told" Count Mott stated with a devious grin on his face.
"Um, yes. Did you wish to talk to me sir?" Siesta questioned as calmly as she could.
"Yes actually, I heard from the other servants that you stepped up to the plate on you new duties rather quickly and skillfully"
"I- I was just trying to do my best sir"
"And that is what I like, now we see how well you can step up to this final plate" Count Mott stated as he took of his jacket and unbuttoned his shirt
Siesta quickly became highly nervous as what Louise and her sister had told her began replaying in her head. "Um, what plate is that sir?"
"Well it's simple; you will please me with your body!" Mott almost yelled as he unzipped his pants and took out his male organ.
Siesta averted her eyes so as to not see it "no, I… I can't"
"You don't have a choice in the matter" yelled Mott as he grabbed Siesta's shoulders. With a hard push and strong grip, he threw her onto the bed and simultaneously ripped the top of her maid uniform; exposing her belly and upper body to the air, causing only her bra to now cover her upper half. Before she could even move Mott quickly grabbed her legs and attempted to move them out of his way, causing her skirt to fall down to her waist.
"No, no NO!" screamed Siesta as she tried to throw her skirt back over her legs. All she could see as she looked up was Mott's grinning face as he prepared to defile her against her wishes. NO!
Shinck, crack "aaarrrgh"
Siesta felt Mott let go of her legs, causing her to quickly pull them to her and sit up. What she saw confused her. In front of her, at the foot of the bed, Count Mott sat against the wall with both hands in between his legs covered in blood, and a pool of blood under him. To her right a large black knife with an odd red crystalline blade that was embedded in the wall. Looking to her left, she then saw what had caught Mott's attention. Now standing in front of the open window was Louise, her dual toned hair blowing gently. She was wearing slightly low cut black leather pants and a short sleeved and short cut jacket, both of which were made of a type of leather she had never seen before. The red shirt she wore under the jacket showed off a bit of her midriff and matched her red eyes and streaked hair in both color and hue. Mott glared as he attempted to stop wherever he was bleeding from.
"You, do you realize who I am? What you've done?" Mott screamed in a veritable fury.
Louise, however, seemed unfazed; in fact she seemed to be smiling like Siesta had never seen. "Ah I almost forgot how much I loved such an adrenaline rush, killing hapless guards is just too much fun. Yes I know who you are count Mott, do you think I care you noble fuck?"
"Who are you? I demand you give yourself up and tell me who you are. Guards... Guards!"
Louise shook her head and laughed to herself. "No one is coming, if they're not already dead, your guards soon will be. And as to whom I am, I am Louise de la Vallière, third daughter of Duke Vallière."
Mott looked confused as he tried to figure out what was happening, "what? But, why?"
"Why? Because you took my friend and were going to hurt her!" Louise yelled as she raised her hands and sent out a cascade of green lighting that quickly coursed through Mott, causing his body to spasm and send blood out of his crotch and mouth. Louise stopped and walked over to the knife, picking it up and putting it back into its sheathe.
"I… I… will kill… you" Mott rasped as he tried to speak through the pain. As he did, he lifted his arm to point to her and saw his skin turning into an almost crystal like green substance. His eyes widened as he looked to the young girl who was now checking on the unconscious Siesta. She turned back and walked over to him, before taking out a box and stabbing it into his stomach, causing a trickle of blood to drip out.
"I find that hard to believe. I filled you with enough Tiberium to crystalize someone instantly, in a few moments you will be lifeless crystal, and in a mere minute, even that will cease to exist. Good bye Count Mott, give my regards to hell you sick bastard!" Louise mocked as she picked up Siesta and jumped out the window.
Mott sat there as his body seemed to light on fire. Everything hurt and it was only getting worse. He could barely move his body and it felt like it was no longer his own. Looking down at the box he could see some kind of lamp on the end blinking and a red number that seemed to glow as it changed.

Siesta groaned and tried to move, it hurt so much. She opened her eyes to see the bobbing figure of Louise above her. Before she could move or even say anything Louise noticed her.
"Oh, don't move Siesta. It seems our exit was a little rough, besides, Legion's back is not exactly level so it may be easier if you just lay there"
Siesta blinked a few times and realized that Louise's black jacket was around her shoulders and her head was on Louise's lap. Looking around, she could see over treetops, meaning that they were indeed on top of Louise's familiar's shoulders, or back. She wasn't sure which as it had no real definable head. "What happened?"
Louise giggled slightly. "I guess it makes sense that you might forget temporarily. Count Mott made you work for him, but it seems he intended for you to work for him for more than just cleaning. I came to make sure it would not happen."
"What happened to him then?"
"He attacked you, so I killed him.
"But that, oh. Oh god. Oh god I remember!" Siesta cried as she remembered everything that had happened. She quickly began crying upon Louise's lap as Louise patted her head.
"Shhhh, it's okay now Siesta, he can't hurt you now, he can't hurt anyone now."
"I… I always thought those stories of such things were just lies and rumors, but… but. Aaaww" Siesta sobbed as she tried to talk.
"It's okay Siesta he can't harm anyone now."
"But I heard stories from the other servant's there that he's done that to others! They even said there's quite a few nobles who so similar things in the capital and across the continent"
"That's something I intend to change too"
"….with that wandless green lightning?"
Louise sighed to herself, Siesta had seen her use her wandless Tiberium infused magic "Siesta, would you like to hear how I got my skills and magic so powerful?"
"Okay" Siesta sniffled as Louise began telling her of the six months she spent with the brotherhood, Tiberium and how it affects her. And of how she would change the world!
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Siesta stared at the midnight sky as she took in all the information that she had just received. It had taken probably a good three hours to hear it all, so she had to think on it. "So, you attempted suicide and instead were transported to another world that has no magic and just as much inequality?"
"Basically, yes"
"And because of an odd injection, your magic was amplified and you found out you can use void magic?!"
"Yes, the crystals on Legion's shoulder blades and the blade of my knife are made from it. It's called Tiberium."
Siesta looked at the large red crystal, no more than a foot from her, and winced slightly as she still lay on Louise's lap. "So you intend to change things in the government to make it so things are more equal?"
"I intend to change the country and even the continent, maybe even the world. I want to fix the inequality of the world so everyone can have equal opportunities. And so what Mott tried to do to you does not happen to other people"
"…"
"Siesta?"
"I WANT TO HELP!" Siesta almost screamed right in Louise's face "oh sorry"
"That's okay, but are you sure you wish to help me Siesta? I'm sure you realize things will be just as dangerous, if not more so, than what happened today. Nobles will not want to give up their power."
"I know that. But if other people have had this happen to them, I can't let this continue. You were right, things are bad. It's just not brought to light often. I want to help change that!"
Louise looked into Siesta's eyes. Her eyes still had tears in them and were very swollen and bloodshot from how much she had cried, but she could see the desire and courage she would need. "All right, but we'll have Legion and me teaching you various things to get you ready though."
"All right, I just wish I could get a flintlock or blade sometime to defend myself from mages later."
"That may not be necessary; I told you how the infusion amplified my power right?
"Yeah?"
"Well it is believed that it is what allowed me to learn the other types of magic. If you take an infusion it will amplify your speed and strength making you much more dangerous than even a knight possibly."
"Really? I could challenge a knight on semi-equal terms?"
Louise looked down at Legion and then back up to Siesta "I should warn you, there is a chance it could kill you though."
"I'll take that chance; I can't let what happened to me happen to others."
"All right then, Legion, give me the infusion serum please." Right away a slot opened up out of Legion's top and a small needle, filled with green liquid, came out. Louise picked it up and looked to Siesta, who just nodded and braced her. "All right here we go; this might hurt just a wee bit."

Authors notes: all right, that was hectic, granted there now one less noble around to deal with so it' probably a good thing? Or is it?
Either way there we have the tenth chapter I hope you all like it.
I would also like to bput out a special thanks to |Nanashi wanderer who bet read my awful grammar and punctuation once again to the point that I caused his Rosario vampire fic, Masquerade, to be later than expected in posting its fourth chapter. I hope you all will give his fic a chance sometime and I thank you for your continued support in watching Louise's endeavours. It will only get more hectic from here on out.
