XII. Fate loves irony

Rome – Vatican city

The golden rays of the sun shone brightly over God's proud city. Busy masses were making they way through the streets of the Vatican to go after they different businesses thought many stopped and stared curiously as a carriage with deep violet curtains and the Holy City's coat of arms painted on the doors drove past them on the street pulled by two black Morgan stallions. Everyone knew that the ones using these carriages held a high position in the Vatican.

The carriage rode swiftly through the buzzing streets and gardens, the sound of the church bells of all shapes and sizes mixing with the chatter of people and the sound of birds. The black stallions held they head high and proud and as a light wind swept past them. Inside the carriage on the dark red velvet seats was meanwhile a man in his early twenties, his thoughts troubled. Link had used nearly the whole night to try coming up with a good way to get the Pope to agree on letting a witch join the ranks of the Black Order. Sure, things regarding both the European and Asian Branch of the Order were pretty much different then by the other Branches, he should know the best, it was truly a wonder that till now no one had ordered his assassination. Thought he had a good guess that no one was dumb enough trying to find out what the consequences of such a deed would hold in them. In other words he had something other to be thankful regarding Walker's power. He would get through this, he only needs to go in there like always when he is trying to explain those bills of Hell, this was the only thing those things could be called, and then get out. He trained in Crow since he was five, he served under Inspector Malcolm C. Heartless Bastard Leverrier for more then five years, watched over General Allen Walker for two years, the two years he was most grateful for both survival and the chance meeting the young man, and then become Inspector for the two most chaotic Branches of the Order. Yes, he could do this, he would do thi…

Why did the carriage suddenly stop? They were not even near of the Apostolic Palace? While Link was wondering about this, knocked his carriage driver on the door for him to look out. Doing so was he greeted by the sight of Supervisor Renee Epstein standing there on the street dressed in a formal white costume and blue blouse smiling up at him a bit unsurely. Opening the door slightly confused was Link trying to figure out why the Head of the North American Branch was here in Rome, lave alone Vatican City.

"Good Morning Inspector Link." she said "Mind if we share a carriage seeing that our final destination is the same."

"Wha…ah no, of course. Good morning Supervisor Epstein." Link said hurriedly as he helped her inside the carriage before signaling to the driver that they could continue they journey.

"Ahh, this is better, never knew that the carriages the Inspectors get are so much comfortable then the ones we are forced to use." Renee said while leaning back in her seat smiling before turning again to Link who was still watching her with a raised eyebrow.

"May I know the actual ground for your visit to the Vatican Supervisor Epstein? Surely it isn't about the comforts of carriages." Link stated in his usual Supervisor tone, come to think of it the only place he isn't using that tone is when visiting his two charge Branches.

"Muhum…" was the response the smiling blonde gave him before turning in to Link's direction with a mischievous grin. "I want to get the North American Branch under your supervision." was her blunt reply at which Link stared at the woman blinking before her words fully sunk in.

"YOU WANT WHAT!" that loud statement earned the carriage a few confused gazes from the peasants.

"You heard me, I want to have the same freedom as Komui and Bak have." she stated with one hand on her hip while the other pointing upwards before both her hands sunk together in her lap, face growing solemn. "I also want to make some atonements, the European-, Asian- and North American Branch are the places where the three sins of the Black Order were brought to life." Renee said in a sad tone as her eyes gazed at the red carpet of the carriage which now sunk in to silence.

At the same time was an angry looking Inspector storming out of his own carriage as it come to halt in front of a large marble colored building. Scoffing Leverrier hurried inside with a sneer on his face while both the unfortunate cardinal and inspector exchanged pained glances with each other. They so knew that this session won't end all to well… …and oh, just how right they were. Inside the building they were greeted by a plump little woman who smiled at them pleasantly and let the little group up two flights of stairs to the room where they would hold the therapy session which both the doctor and Pope ordered Leverrier to absolve. They haven't even entered the room when the Inspector suddenly halted right in the doorway blocking so the other two from entering.

"Inspector Leverrier, pray tell us why you are blocking the doorway?" asked the cardinal who had right on run in to the other. It took the spoken to person full two minutes to find his voice again.

"There are two Noah sitting in there together with two Third Exorcists a…and Alma Karma…" then his pale expression become red with furry "What the hell is the Supervisor of the Asian Branch doing here!" he demanded at which his confusedly blinking companions finally managed to see inside the room, while ducking in on Leverrier's right side, only to exchange gloomy glances with each other before looking at Leverrier again.

"Inspector Leverrier, there aren't any of those inside." the cardinal said while shaking his head. They had seen all Noah at the trial except one who was still in a coma and the deceased one, thought from the former they had picture material and neither of those inside looked even remotely similar to them, leave alone similar to Back Chan for that matter and Alma Karma was confirmed dead. He couldn't know that he had just unconsciously admitted the European and Asian Branches combined brilliance in case of the "Hide my face and words rings".

"I refuse to sit in a room with the family of that traitor and a bunch of failed experiments." Leverrier protested. "Malcolm, for Heaven's shake!" called suddenly the Inspector that was with them.

"Just get in that damned room, there aren't any Noah in there or Exorcists and most importantly, Supervisor Chang is IN CHINA!" he snapped in frustration while dragging the other inside. "We apologize for the little disturbance." he said smiling to the group of ten.

"It is perfectly fine signore, now come inside, we wish to start our little session. That goes also for you, Inspector Leverrier." Mercym said with a kind smile, they would have so much fun with tormenting that man. Oh yes, watching the weary man whom had hurt they precious little brother would be enjoyable. Tryde was mostly here to make sure that everything still goes fair. "If everyone is seated then we shall now begin."

Pope Pious IX was staring at the young inspector with an intense gaze which would have made most people flinch weren't it for the fact that the man was a former member of Crow. Inspector Howard Link had just come to him with the ridiculous idea to accept a WITCH amongst the Black Order, and he had a good guess that the budge in the young man's bag were again some God forsaken bills by the late General Cross Marian. In such cases he truly felt pity for his pupil.

But still, a witch?

And now here is also the Supervisor of the North American Branch requesting to be placed under Inspector Link's supervision. Could by any chance God be feeling bored today?

"Your Holiness , I'm perfectly aware of the fact how the Church feels about those with such abilities." Link said in a diplomatical tone, oh why couldn't Walker do this?

"Your knowledge is correct regarding the case Inspector Link. The Catholic Church harbors no desire to mix themselves with they kind." the Pope replied while leaning slightly forth. One case done, but Link already had a comeback.

"Thought I'm still asking you to give the girl the chance she desires. If the Church truly detests magic users so much, then I'm asking you why we keep the Exorcists whose through the Innocence given power reminds so many of magic, the late General Cross Marian himself went to the school where we are currently working under cower, or why the Crow are present seeing how our power lies in sorcery." Link stated while holding back a smile when the two Cardinals standing on either side of the Pope's throne exchanged a short glance with his Holiness and then looked at the two Crow members standing bodyguard.

"Well we…they…" tried the Cardinal on the right, but failed to say more before looking helplessly at his companion who could only shake his head.

"In the light of all these, and please pardon my words, seems as if in the case about accepting a witch amongst the Black Order would benefit us further. I'm sure that General Walker would have nothing against accepting her in his squad." Link continued with new determination while Renee tried desperately to not laugh at the uneasy expressions of those in front of them.

"I see, we now truly see the effects of your time observing General Walker coming to light." the Pope said with a small amused smile, that General was truly favored by both God and the Devil then this was the only way that even his supporters could act with such determination or appear in such important times. "It seems that I'm bound to allow the transfer after all, as also the joining of the North American Branch ti the two other already under the supervision of Inspector Link."

"Your Holiness!" exclaimed the two Cardinals in shock, they couldn't give in so easily to these people, but Pius IX held his hand up to silence them.

"I have made my decision, now please go and take care of those gifts from Hell." the two nodded grudgily before Link passed them the stack of bills respectfully as they left. After the door closed turned the Pope to the two remaining Crow members whom understood and disappeared bowing. Then a veil of silence fell over the room which was broken then by a loud sigh as the Man of God leaned back on his throne heavily.

"Today we will deal in our session with things which make us angry. Holding in your anger is never a good thing for your health or for that of others." Mercym said with a kind smile at which everyone except a certain inspector nodded. "Now then, we will take turns and each of us tells us what makes them the most angry." and with that had the Noah of Mercy given the signal to start the torture, true he was with this doing the opposite of what he is the disciple of, but as Noah he was allowed to be sadistic also.

"Then I will start if no one minds." said a young woman with soft brown colored hair, she was the only female in the little group. "I get usually angry if someone talks ill about those I care for. The more they talk the more angry I get because most of the time they don't even know them for starters." everyone nodded at this in understanding except a steadily paling Leverrier whom had heard the actual sentence which was the following:" I get angered when others dare to talk ill about my Masters. You don't know a thing about Noah-samas so you have no right to speak ill about them human. " then a young man with blonde hair in his early twenties spoke up.

"You were the cause that neither Yuu nor I could be happy together. You let us be made in to your "Akuma" with me in this male body, and then you used me to create the Thirds. Both the Earl and you are the true monsters, at least found Yuu happiness by Allen's side even thought you attempted to destroy they happiness."

"In my case it is the fact if someone tries to hurt my family members." said a short man with a black mustage and goatee. "I will make you pay for putting Tevak through this madness. You are the ground why my sister sometimes thinks that she is a monster."

"You were trained to obey and so you did, but then you go and dare to turn against us." Leverrier snapped at Madarao, not noticing that he was the only one recogrinaising the man as the one he truly was.

"Malcolm, what is it again?" asked the other inspector before turning to the others.

"I apologize for his behavior, he had an unpleasant oven accident not to long ago."

"We understand. Thought it was not an accident with the dragon."

"I knew there had been a dragon and you were all in on it!" Leverrier yelled triumphantly as he jumped up from his chair and pointing at the group before the two men on either of his sides pulled him back down angrily while massaging they temples with they free hands.

A sigh broke the silence of the large room as the Pope leaned forth again in his seat. He didn't know really know just what to think about the current situation at hand. From not all to long ago had he received a letter from a dear friend, Sister Mary of Jesus Crucified. A truly remarkable woman around whom many supernatural things seemed to happen including the fact that she managed to fight down a possession through a demon all by herself and also possessing the power to let her guardian angel speak through her. She had also done many things for the Christian church going as far as writing to him a letter saying that the Holy Spirit was not emphasized enough in seminaries. Her devotion to her beliefs which were present in her words fascinated him and found a companion in her seeing both of they devotions. Hers to the Holy Spirit, his to the Holy Virgin Mary. In one of her latest letters she had told him about a vision she had a few nights ago, just the same as he did. He didn't know why exactly, but something told him that it was all bound to this war, the Three Sins they have committed and most of all to the Noah Clan and under them firstly the Millennium Earl and the Musician. The irony and confusion of the whole situation made him let out a little laugh. "Your Holiness?" Link asked with slight worry as he took a step closer to the pope with Renee not far behind.

"It is nothing, there are only sometimes situations where you can't do anything other then just laugh." Pious said before looking at the two people in front of him. "It may seem as if God had decided that he and Lucifer have watched for to long from the sidelines. Not long ago I had a vision." he said as he started reciting the words spoken to him in his dream on that cold and black night;-

"Since the whole world is against God and His Church, it is evident that He has reserved the victory over His enemies to Himself. This will be more obvious when it is considered that the root of all our present evils is to be found in the fact that those with talents and vigor crave earthly pleasures, and not only desert God but repudiate Him altogether. Thus it appears they cannot be brought back in any other way except through an act that cannot be ascribed to any secondary agency, and thus all will be forced to look to the supernatural... There will come a great wonder, which will fill the world with astonishment. This wonder will be preceded by the triumph of revolution. The church will suffer exceedingly. Her servants and her chieftain will be mocked, scourged, and martyred."

– he spoke in a grave voice while Link felt Renee grasp his arm slightly shaking, or was it actually him at hearing those words. "There is also something other, a vision a friend of mine had. "All states will be shaken by war and civil conflict. During a darkness lasting three days the people given to evil ways will perish so that only one-fourth of mankind will survive. The clergy, too, will be greatly reduced in number, as most of them will die in defense of the faith of their country." at this fell again silence on the room for a few minutes before the pope spoke again. "It seems as if in near future will the Catholic church and this world face the consequences of our wrongdoings." again a little laugh escaped his lips while Renee heard with horror the words again which Wisely had once told them "The Church will be destroyed by the monsters they have created…", now these words returned to her again just as ominously and foreboding as they were back then.

Black Order Headquarters – European Branch

The European Headquarters was in full amusement at the latest happenings. The movie night was pulled somewhat forth so with the help of the Science Department was now everyone sitting outside of the tower watching the large screen in front of them. Everyone was eating popcorn and sweets made by Jerry while laughing hysterically at Leverrier's torment.

"Putting those cameras us was truly a great idea." Didi said while wiping away the tears from his eyes while on the screen Leverrier just started shouting at back while the other inspector was yelling at him something about is he doesn't stop will he drag him back to the hospital because he still as hallucinations while the cardinal looked to have a major headache.

"I soo wish to get a copy about this." Russell said laughing while Jean was leaning on Timothy's shoulder for support.

"I know that it is bad to be cruel to others, but that man clearly deserves it." Lou Fa said giggling when Leverrier was dragged back to his seat.

"This is even better then his run from that dragon." Reever said laughing in high amusement at the other's misfortune. After this is done will they not hear from Leverrier for a long, long time.

"Well, this is certainly even more amusing then as Jasdebi, Road and Wisely made him believe for a whole month after our trial that he is turning in to a Noah." Sheryl said smirking.

"Certainly." Claude answered while taking a new bite from her licorice and swallowing it just in time before everyone broke out laughing again when Leverrier started shouting with the other inspector and the cardinal who of course were just as loud and angry as him.

Revenge was so sweet…
