While walking away from Kitty, Abigail felt a vibrate in her pocket. She took out her communicator compact and opened it up that shows an holographic image of the team's communication officer Molly.
"Abigail, the Skullgirl has been spotted near the River King Casino!" Molly reported. "Princess Parasoul is already there! Get going!"
"Report that." Abigail nodded as she places her compact into her pocket and ran to her current location where she meets Parasoul.
"Princess! Target confirmed!" one of the Black Egret soldiers reported.
"Excellent work, soldier! Aim for the Skull Heart immedaitely!" Parasoul ordered.
"We don't have a clear shot!" One of the Black Erget soldiers stated. "The target is blocked by…your sister!"
Abigail was shocked. "What? What is she doing here with the Skullgirl?"
"UMBRELLA! That's the Skullgirl! Get away!" Parasoul shouted.
"No!" Umbrella grinned. "It's mom! She's back!"
"What?" Abigail asked in confusion. "What are you talking about?"
"That's not our mother!" Parasoul told Umbrella.
Just then, two nurses and two nuns came by. The nurses were part of the decreased Last Hope while the nuns were part of the church Grand Cathedral. Umbrella and Marie had mysteriously vanished into thin air just before Parasoul and Abigail could stop them.
"Very touching." Valentine mocked. "Who knew our steely princess and our steely sergeant would have a soft heart?"
"Leave my sister out of this! Your fight is with us!" Parasoul shouted.
"Normally we'd comply, but your sister seems…special." Aqua said with a calculating tone. "She appears to share a powerful bond with the Skullgirl and that warrants further study."
"Don't worry, though, the experiments should be…relatively painless." Valentine smiled evilly. "Now, if you'll excuse us."
"Come back here!" Abigail yelled.
Just before Parasoul and Abigail chase after Valentine and Aqua, the nuns Double and Astra stopped the princess and sergeant. Double let out a smile as she started to shapeshift into the blue version of Parasoul while Astra's crystalline orb from her chest glowed and shifted into her true form of a strange humanoid that has a sleek, silver metallic body with aside from her white-colored stripes and eyes.
"We can't allow that, Princess." Double spoke as she blocked the princess's path.
"Duty calls, Sergeant." Astra smirked as she blocked the sergeant's path.
Abigail tries to attack Astra with her mighty scythe, but Astra switched from her normal mode into her defense mode to block the attacks until Abigail quickly attack Astra off guard. Astra had switched into her attack mode to fire a bunch of black energy butterflies toward Abigail, which Abigail had blocked the attack with her scythe. Suddenly, Abigail finished the battle by calling out several of her Black Egret troops to fire bullets from their guns while Abigail uses her scythe to bombard Astra with shards of ice.
"Pathetic, as always." Abigail said coldly.
Double quickly melted back into her horroringly form of flesh and gave Parasoul and Abigail a glare. "Poor Princess Parasoul. Your own mother was a Skullgirl and soon so shall be your sister. "
"Don't you dare, demons!" Parasoul snarled.
"She's just a little girl!" Abigail yelled.
"The Skull Heart cares not for age." Astra explained as she reverted back to her nun form. "As the princess suspected, as her mother carried her sister as she also carried the Skull Heart."
"Umbrella is already attuned to the Skull Heart's power, thus she will forge a stronger and more terrifying bond than even that of Parasoul's mother." Double continued.
"Parasoul?" Abigail asked as she turned to give her friend a shocked glance.
"It's true." Parasoul admitted. "But I won't allow that to happen!"
"The Skullgirl and your sister await beneath the everlasting gaze of the Trinity." Double spoke.
"Pursue and perhaps she can be spared her fate." Astra smiled sinisterly.
With that, the nuns left the scene just before Molly ran toward the princess and the sergeant.
"Princess Parasoul! Sergeant Abigail!" Molly saluted. "There you are! Our scouts are reporting that the target has been seen in the vicinity of Maplecrest and appears to be heading to the Divine Trinity's Grand Cathedral."
"Thank you, Molly." Abigail nodded.
"We pursue at once!" Parasoul ordered. "Out enemy must not succeed!"
