"It's just fate," Changsou said silently. She had seen the grey hair girl walking around the corner but when she turn the corner she was gone.

"That won't stop mocking me," Changsou finished. She felt someone tap her shoulder, she turn and found the grey haired girl standing there smiling.

"Hello," she said. "Have you been looking for me?"

"Yeah, I guess you say that," she bowed. "My name's Changsou."

The girl return the bow, "my name is Guilty."

"Is there anywhere you need to be or do you want to go to get coffee?" Changsou said.

"Sure," Guilty said.

Jude awoke but didn't move, her entire body was in sever pain and it took everything in her not to scream as she rolled over. She rested for a small period before forcing herself to stand up slowly, it took a few moments before she could start to float.

"Jude?" Someone shouted from above, it sounded like Fuuma. "You okay?"

"No," Jude shout back. "The jerk knocked me through a loop."

"Gemini is awake but she can't moved much," Fuuma shouted down. "Wait down there, I'm going to bring Gem down."

Jude waited until Fuuma appeared with Gemini in his arms, he floated down to where Jude was. Gemini was barely conscious but some what coherent.

"Is anyone badly injured?" Jude asked.

"My head hurts, but I don't think anything is broken. Gemini, do you feel anything broken?"

"Just... My pride," Gemini said as she became more coherent. "How are we going to explain this to our folks?"

"We tell them some what the truth," Fuuma said. "And hope that they don't execute us for such a stupid decision."

He lost count of how long he has been here, the place was almost same only with slightly darken and more decrepit from the years of lack of care. No surprise, this was the sight of a horrific event.

He felt around his bicep where his flesh met the bio-mods of his artificial arm, this is where it happened. But those memories were badly faded, by time and experience.

"Sire?"

He slowly came out of his thoughts than looked over at the silver machine wolf, he didn't say anything but only walk forward recalling how the blade-like tips tearing into his arm. At the building's entrance he touch the wood frame, "I'm fine, Com," he said. In his mind's eye he could see the person who had done this to him.

"Just fine."

The robot wolf walk up to his side, "Kaiohte had sent an E-mail. He says that Mandark has appeared in Neogeoville, and the twelve angels have new members."

He remained silent, turning to eye the front of the estate. The overgrown grass was wind swept, it felt like the moment.

"Heh, heh. Such foolish strategy."

"Do you want me to send anything back?" The wolf asked.

"No, not yet," he said. "There's still some things to deal with before I want to report."

"Sire?"

There was a soft rustle, both he and the wolf heard it. Out in the field, something was out there. There was a soft aurouma in the air.

Grass spread everywhere as a form burst forth, he leapt to one side in the same frame of the moment. Wood went everywhere as the form crush the last remaining support of the structure.

The machine wolf's back opened as a sword hilt launched out.

Flying pass him he clutch the item before landing, the form was now standing before him.

Opening it's jaws, it reveal it's sharp fangs.
