"This is getting a little out of hand" Dina muttered under her breath as she deflected an attack from Van with her scythe. He was stronger than he looked, and had ten times the bite than the other scum she had to deal with that night. As he swiped at her with his claws, she managed to take out a dagger and stab it into his eye. "This is for Diva" she said, and jumped clear of his way before he could retaliate.

Saya then delivered an attack to his thigh, severing bone, muscle and sinew, spilling huge splatters of his blood upon the exquisite marble floor. But the moment the blood started to flow, another thigh formed where his wound began. "Damn it!" she exclaimed, and leapt into the air to avoid Solomon's blast of energy that split him in half.

Amidst Van's screams of agony, Solomon then said to David Jr., "This battle is not yours, David, contact Lewis and Nathan to send back-up; we'll need all the help we can get here" But David Jr. will not budge, he will not let all of them face this monster alone. Van's power of extreme re-growth far surpasses that of the regenerative abilities of all Chiropterans, and there was no way that they could get out of this mess… "David, go now, or we would all meet our end here!" Having courage does not mean that you have to face death like a fool, David Jr. remembered his father's words, it means that you dare to stand up to your fears to help the ones who need you the most.

Summoning what courage he had, he ran towards the doors, and dialed Lewis' number. "What's the problem?" Lewis asked at the other end of the line. "Where are the others?" As he looked at the monitor of the tracking system, he only saw one single dot, bearing David Jr.'s name evacuating the building, while the others were still inside, moving at rapid speeds.

"That mad scientist became a Chevalier somehow" David Jr. answered, "and what's worse is that he can re-grow any part of his body after it is being cut off!"

Nathan then remembered one very crucial fact: Thirty years ago, just before Diva went to attack the Red Shield with Carl, Van had approached her in private… He had spoken sweet words to her… that was why he did not suspect anything… It was possible that Van had obtained Diva's blood then… Ah, it was his turn to baby-sit the children yet again. "You send for help, Lewis" he said, and told the pilot to head to Van's research facility. "I will help them" Without wasting any time, he took his Chiropteran form and jumped down from the helicopter.

"Wait… what the hell is happening?" Lewis asked, but there was none who could answer him. Without any hesitation, he called David Sr. and said, "David, we have a major problem right now. Van Argeno is now a Chevalier, and we need back-up on the double"

However, it was Joel VII who answered, "Then let them fight against their own kind" His words were bitter and cold, which brought chills to all those who heard those words. "Let us see what our darling Queens and their Chevaliers can accomplish. Let no one of the Red Shield approach them."

"You can't just leave them there!" Lewis reasoned, but the line was disconnected. Joel's word was final, and if anyone defied him, it would not be good for anyone. That man, Joel VII had changed the Red Shield's laws from one of freedom to one of control. Whoever acted against his orders were immediately seen as traitors, and traitors were immediately disposed off. "I'm sorry, Junior, but they're on their own now. Joel refuses to send back-up"

David Jr. did not know what to do… He could not just abandon Kaya, Dina, William and Adam… Not to mention Saya, who he had heard so much about, and Solomon, the man who preached peace when Diva's chaos almost destroyed mankind… He joined the Red Shield to protect the future of humans by protecting the Queens, but now… "Damn it!" he said, and ran back towards the building. He did not care what would happen to him, but they needed help.

"Take this!" William shouted, and hurled a ball of fire towards Van, who merely dodged the flaming sphere and threw him towards the fountain in the middle of the lobby. What was taking the Red Shield so long to send reinforcements? It was not like Joel VII wanted them all to die there… He would never do such a thing, but… he was also the same man who wanted Kaya and Dina to be locked up in a containment facility before they could be seen by the world.

Adam felt the same way as well. "Joel VII would be hard-pressed to send help here" he said, "He hates Chiropterans with a passion" Firing a shower of icicles towards Van, he then saw another flash of blue right, and he then saw Nathan standing there, with both arms of the enemy on the floor. "Why the hell are you here?"

"It is good to see you actually fighting, Nathan" Solomon said, slashing Van's back as Dina thrust her glaive deep into their enemy's abdomen. A combined attack of fire and icicles then gave them enough time to flee so that their wounds could heal before Van would attack again.

"Why, thank you" Nathan said, chuckling as he looked towards Van, who tried to kick him away, but had his arms and legs cut off by the ancient Chevalier's bladed arms. Saya immediately coated the grooves of her katana with her blood, and she sped towards Van as the four Chevaliers began to stop him from moving. Dina and Kaya as well, with their weapons and what speed their feet granted them, pierced his abdomen and his lungs.

Gathering all the strength she had in her, Saya thrust the blade of her katana deep into Van's heart. "Fool, I cannot die with mere wounds as zis" Van said, but his ears picked up the sound of cracking stone. "Eet is impossible…" he said before his body was completely crystallized. Immediately, Dina and Kaya looked up with a newfound relief. They… had… won…

Just then, the doors to the main lobby were torn from their hinges, and David Jr. came crashing in. "Sorry guys, Joel refused to send help" Then, looking at the heap of white and red stone, and the tired expressions on the faces of those before him that were laced with relief, he asked, "What did I miss?"
