The night came to Mirage Bay and aside from the bars there was no other noise throughout this area. The waves of water made a pleasant noise those nearby. In the sea of sand was the small island home of Mr. Abneto, the creator of the radio. Here Jet had come in hopes of obtaining a staff worth thirteen million gella. Now, he's a guest in the home.

There was nothing but quiet in the carpeted halls. At one end, something moved. That was when the lights turned on. Ruby stared at the man with scruffy black hair wearing a vest and pants tucked into his boots. A man who looked like a deer caught in the headlights. "Who are you?" She questioned.

"Where is the Staff of the Sky?" The man immediately questioned as he proved how agile he was by closing the distance between them. Sadly for him he was caught by Jet.

"Who is this guy?" Jet wondered.

"I've never seen him before." Ruby replied.

Jet narrowed his eyes. "You know, I was trying to sleep buddy."

"Back off!" The man broke free and stumbled back just as Aura too joined them in the hall. "Ruby?" She wondered as she wiped the fragments of sleep from her eyes.

"Where is the Staff of the Sky? Tell me now or die!" The man demanded.

"Staff of the Sky?" Jet muttered with wide eyes. The same thing he was after. "Aura, Ruby, go to your dad." Jet ordered.

"What will you do?" Aura questioned with worry.

"I don't know. Just get out of here." Jet simply said. They nodded and ran away down the hall and beyond to get their father. Jet turned to the man with a grin. "The Staff will be mine. I sure as Hell ain't going to let you have it."

"I, Godai, have been charged with this mission from the Grand One. I will not let the Sin Con Movement down." The intruder remarked. With that he lunged forward at Jet who backed up to the wall.

Grabbing the vest again he pulls Godai back and punches him in the face twice before throwing him to the floor by the end of the hall under the small window. Godai stands and bursts out from inside and through the glass window. Disappearing into the night. Jet was quick to the window and looked up. "The son of a bitch is on the roof!" Jet grit his teeth and stormed into his own room picking up the Aigert-Lahm B/V 2. With that he leaves his window as he did earlier and jumps up onto the roof. He spots his enemy. "You're not getting away that easy!"

"The same is said for you!" With that Godai jumped out at Jet again. Once again he misses as Jet draws his arm. "I see!" With that Godai drew an ARM of small size that was completely hidden well. Designed for a spy. Godai fires at Jet who jumps back and away in response.

Jet gains his balance and swings his gun down firing at the other man. Three shots just grazing the arm of the other man. Bearing the pain Godai moved forward firing again only to have the same results. In that moment Jet moved forward and kicked the skull of Godai. That left Godai defenseless as Jet lets go multiple shots into the abdomen. Finishing his assault by hitting Godai's face with the butt of his ARM. Jet's foe collapses to the roof.

Breathless, Godai glared at Jet. "I...will not...bear such...shame...I...have failed in...my mission...Who are you?"

"It's none of your concern."

"I...have...failed...The Grand One...I cannot...return now." Godai stood weakly as his ARM fell to the ground. Jet watched perplexed.

"Wh-What are you doing?" Jet muttered as Godai backed away for the ledge. "Stop that!" It was too late. The man had fallen from the roof on the side Jet did not earlier. He had fallen on the side covered with jagged rocks. "He jumped? What kind of fool is he?" Jet reviews what he knows now. That man, said that he was of the Sin Con Movement. Whatever that was. Still, they are his enemy, were they not?

After returning inside he stumbled back into the hall. There was Aura to meet him. Unexpected, and it made him nervous. She sort of popped out from nowhere. "What happened?" She questioned.

"He...died...suicide." Jet said without going further.

"What was he after?"

"Something I don't think you had." Jet merely said. "You shouldn't worry about it. It's over now."

"Is it?" She said with emotion. An amount of concern and fear.

"Yeah."

"Daine, I," She simply threw herself onto him in a loose hug. "I was so scared...I never thought...something like this could happen."

Jet stared forward confused. He hesitantly placed his arms around her. "Like I said, you won't have to worry about him again. Go to bed." She nodded and broke away from him drying her tears. He watched her go into her room and close the door. That's when he changed his pace and ran down the stairs and into the den. There he had noted seeing a radio. He scratched his head. He could not remember how to use it or how to talk to Clive. That and, did he really want to? That would be like admitting defeat. No, he had to. He needed to know about what the Staff was, and he was sure as Hell not going to go into boring research to find that out. "Clive? Come in?"

"You didn't say over, over."

"Do you come in, over?" Jet said with clenched teeth.

"Yes, I do. What can I do you for?" Clive said merrily despite the late hour. "I see you can use the radio properly."

"Listen, I was just fighting this guy from some group called...Sin Con Movement. He's after the Staff too. I want to know why, and just who those guys are."

"Got it. I'll look into it."

"Good."

"By the way,"

"What?"

"I should mention that as soon as the sun rises Virginia is intent on going over there. Gallows detained her for the moment."

"Ugh, well, I'm under cover right now. So...whatever. I could do for the backup." Jet shut off the radio. "Now, how did I use this thing?" He questioned.

The sun rose over the lands and people stirred. The Abneto home was now relatively quiet after the events following last night. Sadly that would soon end.

A knock came at the front door. There stood the leader of the Maxwell Gang in all her glory. Her hair flowing in the wind. He violet dress moving as well. Then the door was opened by none other than Aura. The two stared at one another. Virginia was questioning whether Jet really was in it for the Staff. Aura was wondering who this woman at her door was, and if they had come for Jet. Then she felt threatened by her presence. "Can, I help you?" Aura managed.

"Um," Virginia simply stuttered. "I think, my friend is here."

"You mean Daine? He was still resting when I checked upon him." Aura looked around to make sure. She looked to Virginia with narrowed eyes. "Who are you? His girlfriend?"

"I'm, er, n-no. I'm Virginia Maxwell. He is a partner of mine," She pauses. "I mean, uh, he's not, my partner, in that way, I mean, like a partner in a business." She stammered.

"It's a pleasure meeting you then." Aura gave her a warm and welcoming smile. "I am Aura Abneto. My father and sister, Ruby, are here as well. Come on in and I will show you to the guest room where Daine is." Virginia just mouthed the words Daine in confusion and followed.

"So, we're heading to some religious church place? That's no fun." Gallows moaned.

"Regardless. Jet informed me of an attack made by the Sin Con Movement. I looked into it and they are actually a new religion that had popped up nearby." Clive explained. "Those people are looking for that Staff as well."

"So, what do you want to do?" Gallows wondered.

"I'll handle the talking. You just stay outside and watch the horses." Clive explained.

"That's definitely not fun." He moaned.

"Milady!" Todd strode up alongside Maya. "How do you intend to go about this?"

"Don't worry so much." Maya dismissed.

"She's right." Alfred mentioned as he walked up. "We have connections."

"You mean? The Abneto family, are friends of yours?" Todd wondered.

"Yep. That makes things easier on us. We can just walk in and take it." She replied.

The tabernacle of the Sin Con Movement was basic in structure. Nothing all too different in it than most other buildings built at this time. It was obscenely long though. Clive doubted that there was as many in this 'cult' than capable of fitting in the building.

Entering the halls he found it mainly empty. He knew it would be though. The members were outside doing some sort of ritual. There was a cold and empty feeling about the place. The floors were made of rock and each footstep echoed. The pews all lined up as they were.

"What is, it about this place I don't like?" He muttered.

"Who are you?" A boisterous voice questioned. Clive turned his attention to a tall man wearing a red coat and green pants with two ARMs strapped to them. Two ARM equivalent of shotguns. His hair long and blonde. A foreboding look to his face.

"I can ask the same to you."

"Pheh. You are but a virus. I'm good at getting rid of those." Before Clive knew it he was fired upon and the man in glasses could only jump to the floor and roll to the side. Clive draws his ARM and aims as he fires at the dual-ARM fighter. The sniper's shot misses. As the man goes to aim Clive jumps behind some pews causing the bullets to blow chunks from the wooden benches about the area. As Clive made a move he got his ARM caught under the pew as he stood. He was left defenseless.

"How about, we do this without the hardware?" Clive shrugged.

The man grinned. "Agreed." With that he was already closing the distance with Clive who catches the punch and returns with a knee to the stomach. In that moment Clive's enemy throws his head into Clive's own causing the sniper to stumble back. In that moment his enemy launches an assault of multiple punches. Finally kicking Clive in the gut sending the sniper to the ground.

Clive struggles to stand and as he is about to he is hit aside by a pew that his enemy used as a club. "You're lucky you wear glasses. I went easy on you. It is not everyday that Hideko does such." The man—Hideko—simply said as Clive collapsed to the floor and lost consciousness.
