-----------------------

'Rosette!'

wailing out, Azmaria rushed over to her lifeless statue while Vincent just swallowed his shock and turned to confront the reptile. Hearing it give out a loud hiss Vincent stepped closer only to see it slither away into a drainpipe.

"Curses… It will get away like this…"

'Vincent!'

hearing Azmaria call him, Vincent sighed and turned back to join Azmaria and the 2 life-like statues beside her. Having her arms around the statue that was once Rosette, Azmaria stared into Vincent eyes and pleaded with him to save them.

'Please Vincent! You can save them right?'

"…"

remaining silent, Vincent reached into his cloak and produced 2 bags full of silvery powder. Giving them to Azmaria, Vincent produced Death Penalty next and then he finally answered Azmaria.

"I do not know if this will work…"

'IF IT DOES I'll KISS YOU!'

Hugging Vincent, Azmaria face next turned pink when she realized what she had just said and she immediately let go of him.

"…Sprinkle this over them…I'll hold the basilisk off…"

Vincent just replied in monotone before taking off to find the foe.

Clasping her hand in silent prayer as Vincent disappeared, Azmaria prayed for Rosette and Chrno to be safe and also as an additional thought, Vincent and her to be safe as well.

'Please God… let us all be safe… Amen… Well… here goes nothing…'

holding her breath Azmaria sprinkled the powder over Rosette and Chrno and after that, simply sat there and waited.

Don't die Vincent…

-----------

-So she'll kiss you eh?-

Silence Chaos…

Blocking Chaos's voice from reaching him, Vincent concentrated on locating the masterful Basilisk. Even with his senses Vincent could not pinpoint where exactly it is, all he can do is that it was indeed near him in the sewers but where was it hiding.

"…There are too many holes for a lizard to hide…"

just as he finished Vincent winced almost immediately.

"That is not a lizard… it's 5 feet tall… right Yuf-…"

suddenly remembering that Yuffie was not here, Vincent remained silent for a while to gather his thoughts. Right about then a slight rustling attracted his attention and he turned towards the noise, a solitary rat running away from something in the darkness.

"…?"

his gun ready, Vincent stepped towards the area and almost at once immediately relaxed.

"A cat…"

smiling, he bent down and reached for it. Silent as he was, the cat did not move and allowed Vincent to pat it gently.

"…Don't move now…"

still smiling, Vincent drew his gun and fired straight behind him and he did not stop patting the cat even as he heard a blood curdling cry sound out.

"…found you."

Voice cold, Vincent got up and pointed the Death Penalty straight at the Basilisk's head all the while ignoring the cat's constant purring at his feet.

"Now…die."

Firing straight at it's vital points, Vincent was surprised at the speed it possessed. First it was right in front of him and the next he was forced to retreat as it charged straight for it. Focusing his fire on it's exposed abdomen instead, Vincent's gamble paid off as he drew blood and the Basilisk crawled up a wall in order to escape Vincent's fury.

"It's useless…"

continuing his fire, Vincent was secretly frustrated that it simply would not die. He had already used up 2 of his rounds to pierce the lizard's hide and it still stubbornly clung to life.

If it was the normal monsters… it would have died… at least 5 times…

"Tsk… stubborn fool…"

hearing a small click from the Death Penalty, Vincent moved back a step to reload his weapon and promptly met with a speeding tail that lodged straight to his gut, knocking all his wind out. Eyes widening at the impact, Vincent did not utter a sound even as he felt his body get crushed by his foe's coils.

"I won't die now…"

uttering a small sound of pain, Vincent managed to free his golden claw and he sank it straight into it's flesh. Hearing it's roar of pain, Vincent smiled grimly and prepared himself mentally for another lash of pain from the Basilisk.

For Yuffie…

-For Yuffie…-

Hearing Death Gigas mutter the same words inside of him, Vincent gave a startled gasp and he repeated the gesture when the coils around him slackened and he was able to break free of the death grip the Basilisk had once got him in.

'Vincent!'

"Rosette? …I'm glad you are fine Rosette."

Keeping his voice calm, Vincent saw Rosette smile at him before continuing her fire into the lizard's thick skin. Trapped between 2 gunslingers the Basilisk finally collapsed between them and just before it fell, it turned towards Vincent and raised straight to it's full height.

"What!"

Seeing it's eyes dilated and seemingly flash, Vincent immediately rolled out of it's way and right on the spot where he once stood turned into stone after the Basilisk got it's way with it.

"…Let me let you rest in peace…"

whispering the words, Vincent gave it a grin before firing into it's head resulting in a smoking hole right in the middle of it's skull. Giving it's last scream it crashed right in front of Vincent and with a flourish, he pocket Death Penalty and proceeded to exit the sewers. Placing his foot on the ladder, Vincent paused and looked back to where he had slain the beast and sighed.

If I killed it… what do I get in return?

A sudden voice break him out of his thoughts and he looked upwards towards the sky and he unconsciously smiled at the figure that waved to him.

'You DID IT!'

'Hey Azzy! Don't I get credit too?'

'yes… but he did save you too right?'

hearing the small giggles Azmaria was giving out, Vincent just shook his head and continued his way back to dry land.

'Here!'

seeing a small hand being stretched towards him, Vincent took the hand and was rapidly pulled up by the person. When his eyes got used to the light again, Vincent saw Chrno beside him and not for the first time he wondered how did the small boy have such strength.

"Thank you…"

'No problem!'

smiling at him, Chrno shook his head in frustration as he kicked the manhole he had pulled Vincent out of. Putting both hands on the cover, he attempted to lift the steel cover but try as he might his body could not lift it up.

"Let me help…"

placing his 1 hand on the cover, Chrno counted to 3 and the both of them tugged vigorously on the cover before with a small shriek the cover final separated itself from the ground and they managed to position it with great difficulty over the manhole.

'Oof! It's so heavy… you okay Vincent?'

seeing Vincent resting beside a pillar and clutching his right hand, Chrno immediately rushed over to check up on him. Placing his hand on his right arm, Chrno's eyes furrowed when he noticed how strained Vincent was about his arm.

'Do you need a rest?'

Chrno's concern did not reach Vincent and instead his eyes dilated and with his claw he pinned Chrno down on the floor in only a split second. With his claw pressed upon his neck, Chrno did not make any sudden moves but he stared straight into Vincent's eyes to search out why did he do that?

"Ahh…AHHH!"

clutching his arm, Vincent fell back on Chrno and started crouching on the ground once again clutching his arm.

'Rosette! Azmaria! Backup!'

quickly scrambling away from Vincent, Chrno waved Rosette and Azmaria over while he watched helplessly as Vincent battled against an unknown foe.

'Chrno! Is Vincent possessed?'

'How can you tell Rosette?'

'Well… HE'S GOT A TAIL!'

pointing the obvious to them, Rosette pulled out her gun but hesitated when she saw how Vincent was struggling to remain in control.

'Damn… we might HAVE to dive…'

'Dive? But Rosette!'

'I know the dangers… but let's try first…'

nodding to her partner, Rosette holstered her gun while Chrno reached inside his pack for the crucifixes. Turning to give Azmaria instructions, Rosette's eyes widened and she smiled slightly when she saw her holding Vincent's hands as he tried to fight off the inner threat.

Azzy…

Reaching out for Chrno's hand, Rosette stopped him and while he looked up quizzically to her, pulled him beside her and whispered to him.

'Let Azzy handle it… hehe… it's good training!'

Chrno simply sighed but he was inclined to follow what Rosette had said when he saw how Azmaria was helping Vincent by simply being there for him.

-------------

'Vincent… can you hear me?'

clasping her hand with Vincent's, Azmaria whispered to him while he continued to twitch and squirm from the possession.

"Azmaria… please… leave. It's not safe…"

hearing his forced reply, Azmaria's heart gave a leap when she knew Vincent could still hear her.

'No… please hold on! Rosette's getting the equipment… you'll be fine soon!'

trying to convince herself and Vincent at the same time, Azmaria gripped Vincent's hand tightly and clamped her eyes shut as she tried to focus on how to help Vincent.

"Azmaria… do not worry…"

feeling Vincent's hand running through her hair, Azmaria gave a small shudder and suddenly she felt something warm hit her hands. Opening her eyes, she saw that tears had once again graced her and she flushed, embarrassed that Vincent would catch her at this moment.

"…Thank you… Azmaria…"

'Huh? Vincent?'

uttering a loud roar, Vincent's eyes furrowed and became clear as he suddenly spouted fur and his face elongated into a long snout. The tail Rosette had saw earlier simply disappeared and another tail took it's place as his entire body turned purple and his hands became armed with long curved tipped claws. With his entire being turned purple, Vincent gave a loud roar when he completed his transformation to one of his forms, the Galian Beast.

"Rawr…Feed upon another soul… you scum!"

roaring his disapproval, Galian's body glowed slightly and in his right arm came a loud shriek that later formed into a silvery mist that escaped from his arm to form back into a familiar form right in front of them.

The Basilisk's spiritual form hissed at them while Galian looked unimpressed by it's performance.

'AH! Another demon!'

hearing Rosette's loud cry, Azmaria dashed in front of Galian and stretched her arms out to prevent Rosette from shooting at him.

'Don't Shoot! He's Vincent!'

'V-VINCENT!'

"…My name is not Vincent… You can call me… Galian Beast… or Galian… at your service Lady Azmaria…"

bending low, Galian bowed to Azmaria before treading in front of her and roaring at the Basilisk.

"Let… the Pain BEGIN!'
