"Let Me help!" Joshua said panicking, sitting up in the seat. "I could help you!"

"Joshua! What were you thinking? You can't be here!" Naomi yelled with even more panic. She looked back at the demon that was now out of site, behind a building. The building had soon caught on fire. The three had to yell over the loud screams and footsteps of the crowd attempting to pile out of the area.

"Joshua, at least stay in the car!" Sister Azmaria said grabbing a Gospel Gun from the front seat.

"I don't want to stay in here!" Joshua said hopping out of the car. "I'm gonna fight this demon! You treat me like such a baby!"

"Joshua you have no experience what so ever! You have no idea what your doing!" Naomi yelled. Joshua reached into the car and also grabbed a Gospel Gun.

"JOSHU…" Naomi was cut off just as a large hawk like bird flew over head, screeching a very loud noise, and could be heard over all the commotion. The three stopped arguing and looked up.

"What…the…." Naomi murmured watching the bird dumbfounded.

Joshua watched as well. The bird suddenly swooped down and around Joshua. Joshua watched frightened as it flew around him in a circle. It then returned to the sky and flew out of sight. Joshua recognized the bird. It was the bird from his dream a few nights ago. Joshua's eyes widened in fear; remembering what the bird had told him. Maybe it wasn't a dream.

"Sister Naomi, that was Aion's bird!" Azmaria screamed to her.

"We have to get back in the car!" Joshua panicked. He grabbed Sister Naomi by the wrist, pulling her back. Naomi screamed in pain and pulled back, rubbing her writs.

"Joshua, you go in the car! Me and Azmaria will take care of this!" Naomi yelled.

"Do what she says Joshua! This is important and the longer we stay here and argue the more damage there will be!" Azmaria added.

Joshua stood there for a few seconds, and then nodded his head. He climbed back in the car and watched as the two girls made their way through the crowd.

"Are you ready?" Azmaria asked looking over to Naomi. Naomi winced from the pain in her wrist. "You bet!" She replied.

By the time they had finally reached the demon, it was halfway through town, now in clear view, ripping apart a beautiful park.

"You know…it looks a lot bigger close up." Sister Naomi said loading her gun.

She was right. The demon was huge. It had to be at least three stories tall, looking almost like a strange version of Godzilla. The only relief to them was that the horn on its head had to be the size of a bus if it were to stand strait up.

"Do you think these could shoot that thing off?" Naomi asked Azmaria.

"I doubt it…" Azmaria said.

"Well…wait a second...the elder did give me this." Naomi said pulling out the spirit energy trapper.

"What does it…" Azmaria was cut off when the demon had finally noticed them and sent a blast of energy in their direction. Both girls yelled in fright and dove out of the way. There was a great bi crater where they used to be standing. "That was close!" Naomi said. Azmaria started to fire her gun at the demon, getting it aggravated. Every time she tried to hit the horn, the demon would block it with its tail.

"Azmaria, keep it busy, I have to put this on him!" Naomi said.

Azmaria kept shooting. "Are you crazy?" She asked. "How are you going to get near that thing?"

"Hopefully he will be too distracted by your gun…" Naomi replied.

"Alright, good luck and be careful!" Azmaria replied. She began to shoot at the demons eyes.

Naomi ran to the demon as fast as she could. As she got to the base of the demon, she tried desperately not to get stepped on. The demon was flailing, trying to block all the bullets.

The demon roared and threw another energy blast in Azmaria's direction. Azmaria dove out of the way, but in the process, lost her gun.

"OH NO! NAOMI! RUN!" Azmaria yelled searching for her gun.

Naomi could hardly hear Azmaria's yells of warning and caution. She did notice that the gunfire had stopped. Naomi looked up to see the demon looking down at her.

"uh…oh…" Naomi said to herself. Before she could pull her gun out to shoot at the demon, he whipped his tail around and hit her hard right across the stomach, forcing her to fly backwards through the air a few feet, and land on her back knocked out.

"Naomi!" Azmaria yelled. She got up from her spot, and began to run over to her unconscious friend. Before she could reach her, the demon had made its way over to Azmaria and stood right in front of her, blocking her from getting to her friend. It roared, knocking Azmaria to the ground again. It picked Azmaria up with one of its hands, each finger equipped with incredibly sharp claws. It seemed to be examining her.

Azmaria looked around for anything to help in her situation. Azmaria noticed Naomi still laying on the ground. The only way to be saved would be for her to wake up. Azmaria started to kick off her shoe. Maybe is she could get it to land on Naomi she would wake up.

Azmaria's right shoe fell from her foot, and landed about two feet away from Naomi. The demon began to growl at Azmaria. Azmaria swallowed hard, and could feel the demons grip tighten around her body.

Just as Azmaria began to loosen her last shoe, gunfire was heard, and the demon roared in aggravation, as its head jerked back in a forceful motion, and he dropped Azmaria.

Azmaria screamed falling through mid air, expecting to land on the hard ground and break all her bones. She embraced herself for this moment, but it never came. She opened her eyes to find herself in Joshua's arms.

"Are you ok Sister Azmaria?" He asked in a panicked voice.

"I'm fine." She replied in a little bit of shock. Joshua put her down. "OH NO! IT'S REALLY MAD NOW!" Azmaria said with a panicked voice.

The demon stared at the two of them watching it with fright. The demon rubbed his horn and roared. Joshua began to shoot the horn again, but each bullet was blocked with its tail. The demon lunged for the both of them, scooping them up with its clawed hands. It began to tighten the grip on both of them

"Apostles." It breathed squeezing them tighter. Azmaria and Joshua began to scream with pain. Just as it felt like the grip could not get any tighter, it loosened a bit. It slowly began to loosen even more.

Joshua and Azmaria yelled with panic as the demon fell to its knees and dropped Azmaria and Joshua. The two landed on the ground, stumbling backwards and falling over. Joshua looked up to see the demon about to fall over completely on top of tem both. Joshua stood up quickly and helped Azmaria up, rushing them both out of the way as the demon crashed on the ground. The two watched dumbfounded as the demon just laid there for a few moments, and then all of a sudden turned to ash.

"Are you ok sister?" Joshua asked a little confused and worried.

"I'm jake…" Azmaria replied looking around. She found Sister Naomi standing up, holding her stomach with her left hand, and the spirit energy trapper in the right. She smiled.

"Hey you're alright!" Azmaria said limping over with a smile. She threw her arms around Naomi.

"Of course I'm alright." She said with a smile.

"And than you for saving me Joshua…where did you learn to aim like that?" Sister Azmaria asked.

"When I visit the order I sneak off and hang around the shooting range…OH!...your not going to tell anyone…are you sister?" Joshua asked. They all laughed.

"Well I guess we all make a pretty good team then. I guess we were all wrong about you Joshua…I'm sorry." Sister Naomi said.

"It's nothing…but are you ok? Your stomach…it's bleeding pretty badly.

"OH! SISTER NAOMI JOSHUA IS RIGHT! WE NEED TO GET YOU BACK RIGHT AWAY!" Sister Azmaria replied. She quickly sprinkled Holy Water around the area, and but up a few barriers. "Lets leave now, the order will send in a clean up crew later…we need to get you back." Azmaria said.

Joshua helped Naomi into the back seat. "You should lie down back here Sister. I'll help you wrap that up." Joshua said as he also hopped in the back. Naomi rested her head on his lap. Azmaria finished loading the car back up, and hopped in the drivers seat, driving away.

"There, you'll be ok until we get back." Joshua said finishing the bandages. He placed his hand one her stomach. "Does it feel better now?" He asked.

Naomi looked up to Joshua. "Yes…actually…a lot better." She replied. Joshua smiled, and turned his head to look out the window. Naomi closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The demonic bird flew, screeching into the night. He fluttered his wings, landing on his master's shoulder. "Foolish demon, I told him not to interfere with my plans did I not? Now look what happened. You got yourself killed. You should always listen to what I have to say. My plans are flawless now. You must way until I have the other in my possession first." The devil's laughter echoed through the dark night.

"You are just about ready…and soon you will be mine…Remington."

Naomi awoke, still lying down in the car. It was now night and Azmaria was still driving. They had to be very close to the order by now. Naomi looked up to see Joshua had fallen asleep against the window. She smiled to herself and laughed quietly, causing Joshua's hand to twitch, and slide off her stomach. Sister Naomi slowly sat up preventing Joshua from waking up. She unwrapped the bandages on her stomach, and looked through the bloody holes torn in her outfit. Her stomach had healed completely. He eyes widened and she patted her stomach. It was all gone. She looked at Joshua who had remained sleeping against the window. Her eyes widened.

Hello, Sister Kate here. With the sighting of Aion's bird, we must take extra caution. We do not know where he could be lurking. And now Joshua must tell us something he has been hiding! Something tells me I am going to need more sleep. Join the others and me in the next episode: A little Past for a Little Dream!
