Damn it!

Ciel cursed in his thoughts, out of all the things...idiotic things she had to do...this was one of them. Slipping back among the passengers, she separated herself from him and the others. She was suppose to get into the lifeboats with the others, to safety...not turn heel and throw herself back into a dangerous situation. It was bad enough she refused to accompany Sebastian the first time to safety, released herself and ran back to search for him and the others. Now, she did it again, he wanted her to get to safety, but she again...refused.

Was that it? He pondered, being carried by Sebastian down the first class passenger hallway, due to his injured ankle. They still had business to finish up in the ship.

One being finding something and now another tracking and finding the whereabouts of his rather foolish elder cousin, May. That damn girl just...she wasn't thinking. What in the world could propel her to make such a irrational decision?

Again, Ciel couldn't help but wonder why she refused. Thinking further about it, there was that look in her eyes, the tone of her voice held a despondent tremor despite her trying to mask it. He could hear it slip through and the way she'd move her trembling hand behind her back or clench it. She even seem to be standing on her toes, ready to spring for something, he wasn't sure. This was far beyond being reckless, Ciel realized...she seem to be guarded in some ways. It was nearly almost the same, that day, the day they meet for the first time. Her adamant resistance in coming with them, as instructed by his, their, late Aunt's request.

Yes, thinking about it, it was the same. There was a certain tremor in her, he recalled. He hadn't question it back then, not thinking much of it. Other than she was just nervous, but in reality...she was scared..about something or was it...

Ciel didn't have time to finish his thought, something or better someone caught his attention. They stepped out into the hall, holding a glass of wine, dressed in a all so familiar white elegant suit. Their lavender eyes meet Ciel's and Sebastian, who stop and stare back.

It was Count Lord of Durett, Aleistor Chamber.

Aleistor had not recollection of either of them. "Hm? Who are you? How do you know my name?"

Ciel and Sebastian just look on. Either way Aleistor flattered. "Oh well considering I'm well-known in society as the incarnation of beauty, I suppose it's rare for someone not to know me."

Ignoring that, Sebastian asked the man, "Please allow me to ask, why is someone such a place?"

Alesiter's lips moved into a smile. Gestured behind him at peculiar device being carried by four men. "You know, there are is something I absolutely want to protect, even is means risking my life on this sinking ship." He kept going. Saying more than he needed. "Actually, those corpses are just like puppets to me...Opps," he realized too much slipped out. "I guess I spoke too much...well then, excuse me."

He begins walking off with the men and device. Stopped when Sebastian recited the Aurora Society's greeting. Aleistor joined completing it, once done all Sebastian and Ciel strike the pose, Aleistor too, in his own way. Right then it clicked with the clueless man, he remembered Ciel and Sebastian as members. Acknowledged them. Ciel inquired about the device, if it could stop the corpses. A odd question that made Alesitor rather suspicious on how they knew such a thing. They said nothing.

It didn't matter, Aleistor told them if they wanted to know to follow him. They do so. Carefully listening to Aleistor speak of the coming of a new Aurora Society, thanks to medicine. All the while Sebastian and Ciel ponder how they could get he device away from the man, get interrupted by a snicker. It came from one of people carrying the device.

Looking closer Ciel was surprised at who it came from. "Undertaker!? What are you doing here?"

The lean man clad in predominantly black robe, the bangs of long grey hair, obscured his eyes, sat on top of his head a incredibly long black hat. He kept snickering. Addressed Ciel's question.

"While I was escaping I was asked to help carry this and then you did that 'Phoenix' thing again."

"Forget that right away!" Ciel flustered. Only added more snickers from the Undertaker before settling. Hummed a rather familiar tune, that caught Sebastian's ear. Stopped when Ciel leaned in close and whispered. "By the way do you happen to know how to activate this?"

A grin curled on Undertaker's lips. "Who knows~ How will this thing be of any help I wonder. Oh!" He exclaimed, moved his head left then right as if in search of something. "It seems your missing someone."

Ciel rose a brow. "What?"

Undertaker snickering lowered just a bit. His grin curled more. "That ebony flower of yours." Ciel wasn't following, Sebastian though...Undertaker continued. "I heard among mummers of others, you happened to inherit two new additions recently."

It clicked. "Are you speaking of my cousins?"

Undertaker nods. "Yes, didn't you have one that was with you just awhile ago, all dressed in black. Like an ebony flower. Where did she run off too I wonder? With her time being very, limited. One would think she'd want to remain by side of something precious and dear. Unless she's trying to get more time."

His words made no sense to Ciel, yet for another the man's unusual words was paid attention to carefully. They get ready to inquire on what Undertaker meant, held it back. Reached the first class passenger lounge. The device was set down, Ciel and Sebastian wait for it to be activated.

"Are you going to activate it?" Ciel asked Aleistor.

"Not yet. The cast is still incomplete."

"The cast?" Sebastian repeated.

Just then, Rian appears (along with two others) overhead. Yelling at Aleistor. "AH! Bastard! Why did you take the device?!"

Unphased, Aleistor welcomes the doctor. "Welcome Ryan," arms wide open. "I was waiting for you. Tonight the empire you built will collapse like Pompeii and in its place, my new realm will be born."

Rian was confused.

"With the power of the device I will create a new empire!"

Ciel and Sebastian where not just as confused as Rian.

"The one who conquered eternity shall rule over everyone else with corruption and decadence! It will be called..The Aurora Empire!"

With their chainsaw reeving, and long red hair flowing. Grell suggest another idea. While Ronald complains what Aleistor wants to do was too complex. "I'll pain him red right away." Grell said eagerly holding up his chainsaw.

About to act, to be quickly stopped by Ronald. Aleistor held his glass threatening over the device, ready to pour the wine. "Don't you care about the device?" Everyone stopped. "This is real 'power' I win against you all with one glass of wine!" Laughs.

Irate by the man's behavior and the man himself, the urge to kill him was all to tempting. Sebastian muttered his intent to Ciel, who told him wait while understanding his feelings of belligerence. Before anything could be done, the dolls abruptly barge in. Breaking through walls, doors, nearly everything! The situation now high, Ciel snaps at Aleistor to activate the device.

The man refused. Unless they all call him Caesar. Having a change of heart, Ciel ordered Sebastian to kill the man. Sebastian repeated what Ciel told him, to wait and understanding his feelings. They weren't the only ones either to become irritated by Aleistor. Grell and Roland. With their hands full, including Sebastian, battling against the dolls, coming from all sides. Aleistor stood on top watching them, comparing himself to that of Emperor Nero. Enough was enough, Ronald reaching his limit offered to kill the man, was stopped by Grell who berated him from stopping him earlier.

Turned snapped at Aleistor. "Hey you make that thing work already!"

"Fine." Aleistor thinly smiled. "It's time to found my New Empire. Come on everybody. Show me the dance of the Phoenix to pledge your loyalty to the emperor!"

Destine fell on the others faces. Murderously. Each of them Ciel, Sebastian, Ronald, and Grell agreed to kill him. To be stopped by the Undertaker who made a point.

"Oh no. Are you sure you don't want to know how that device works?" He snickered pleasurably.

Adhering his words, the four of them had no other choice. The moment Aleistor begins reciting his version the Aurora Society's greeting and struck a poise, his poise. The others join him, reluctantly. Pleased by this Aleistor presses the button on the device, finding it didn't work. A shock to everyone.

"So it wasn't you who built it?" Ciel shouted angrily at the man.

"How could I build something like this?" Aleistor slightly shrugged. "I just decided to borrow it."

Earned a shout from Rian.

Enraged and furthered irritated, Grell turns his chainsaw after killing some dolls, to Aleister. "What useless farce." He demeans the two men, advances on Aleister. Ignoring Ronald's shouts of not killing humans. Chainsaw drawn back, a wicked and gleeful smile ran on his lips. Swings his weapon down on the cowering man.

Expecting blood and screams, gets neither of those. Before Grell is able to land a blow, Undertaker comes in and covers Aleister with one hand, stopping Grell's attack. Shocking everyone.

Undertake chuckled slightly. "It's been a while since I've laughed so much. To lose such an amusing man would be like losing the whole world to me...don't you agree? Shinigami?"

Bewildered by this Grell and the fact his Death Scythe cannot cut him, jumped back just as Undertaker whirls around, revealing hidden under his robes. Weapons, sotobas, throws them at Grell. Which they block with their Death Scythe. The sotobas shot up penetrate the glass ceiling above them, showering down shattered pieces of glass like crystal rain. Sebastian instantly covers Ciel.

"How sad it would be should laugher disappear." Undertaker said, running a hand up and through his bangs, revealing his greenish-yellowish eyes. The same as Grell and Ronald.
