It had been a year and they had gotten the pyro gnosis. They now had all the gnosis. They still had much to do, so The Harbingers wanted to get rid of a certain blond threat.

"What happened Lumine?" Gia asked her. Lumine had collapsed and Nahida contacted Gia to tell her something had happened.

"Damselette…attacked." Lumine croaked. She was recovering quickly but still had wounds.

"I'm calling a meeting…" Gia announced. With a pop Gia teleported to the meeting room and touched the sigil that called for a Harbinger meeting. The Harbingers came inside and when they all sat down, Pierro asked,

"Gia? Why did you call a meeting?"

"Is it true Columbina?" Gia asked.

"Is what true?" Damselette asked.

"You tried to kill the Traveler?"

"Well yes but-"

"And I presume this effort was not done by just yourself?"

"Correct."

"WHY?"

"It was ordered by her Majesty the Tsaritsa." Pierro answered.

"Then it seems I must take it with her. Are ALL of you Harbingers involved in this effort?"

"Yes." They all agreed.

"And no one told me, hm? And you, Tartaglia, didn't do ANYTHING?"

"Well-" Tartaglia started.

"Er…" Dottore made a noise.

"I'm leaving. This nonsense!" Gia said, teleporting away.

"Alright who forgot to tell her?" Capitano questioned.

"I told Pantalone to tell her." Pierro said.

"Why'd you ask him?'' Sandrone asked.

"I suppose that was a blunder on my part…Pantalone why didn't you tell her?" the Jester asked.

"Because."

"That isn't an answer idiot." Arlecchino quipped.

"I'd say it's petty revenge." Columbina suggested.

"Probably." Childe agreed.

"Next time listen!" Pierro chided.

"Hmph." Pantalone huffed.

"Anyways, back to our assigned places." Pierro announced.

================================================================="I demand an audience with her Majesty."

*Knock, knock, knock!*

"Come in!"

''So, you asked the Harbingers to kill the Traveler?"

"She has been spoiling our plans…"

"I thought you'd think bigger…she would be better alive than dead! She would make an important ally."

"I'm listening?"

"Between her power and influence, she would help tremendously. Please, retract that command. She simply wants information on her brother, believe me when I say she does NOT like Celestia, so she won't help them!"

"Very well…if you insist then I will tell them to aid her or just leave her alone instead of harming her."

"Thank you very much!"

"You are most welcome."

================================================================="This is a short meeting. We have received orders from the Tsaritsa that we shall not harm the Traveler and offer help to her if she asks." Pierro announced.

"Well, it seems that our dear friend did in fact talk to her Majesty." Columbia said.

"And she listened…" Pulcinella mumbled.

"That is wonderful!" Childe exclaimed.

"That is all." Pierro told them. The Harbingers filed out.

================================================================="Lumine! Good news, the Harbingers won't harm you and will in fact help you if you ask, orders of the Tsaritsa!"

"That's good."

"So, are you completely fine?"

"Yes, I've recovered."

"Wonderful."

"Oh, and by the way Lumine, if you want to get under Dottore's nerves, call him or compare him to, a cat. And Paimon that can be his ugly nickname, something kitty related."

"Paimon will make the best cat ugly nickname!"

"Perfect!"

"Dottore. Don't do anything rash but…I may have told the Traveler to call you an ugly nickname."

"What nickname?" Dottore asked.

"Something related to cats."

"WHAT?" the Doctor asked, his crimson eyes glaring daggers at Gia.

"Because of this…I will do whatever you want as long as it isn't too absurd for a week."

"Just a week?"

"3 weeks then."

"I was going to say 2 but that's better. First things first I need some of your blood."

"I despise needles. But alright, where do I sit?"

"There." He answered, pointing to one of the rooms. Inside it had a chair in the center with chains on it.

"Why are there chains there?"

"To restrain the vic-I mean subjects- that cannot handle more painful experiments."

"Makes sense. Alright get it over with."

Dottore grabbed a syringe from the neat cabinet and inserted the needle into Gia's arm. It extracted some blood that looked normal except at certain angles it was metallic crimson.

"Perfect. Now I need a creation of yours."

"Will this suffice?" Gia asked, creating an iridescent crest viper that was 7 feet long.

"Yes." He answered, putting the creature into a glass container.

"And now I need to observe your bones."

"Alright. Please be gentle when cutting through the flesh!"

"That isn't…Whatever alright I'll do it that way." Dottore said. He chuckled and grabbed some tools. He cut through the flesh quickly and took a small enough piece of the bone so as not to damage anything. He looked at it and nodded to himself.

"The structural integrity of your bone is very strong."

"Thank you?"

"On a scale from 1-10, how much pain is your leg in right now?''

"3."

"Hm." He wrote something in his notes.

"What next?"

"I will evaluate the results."

"Alright. This leg is going to be a pain."

"Oh yes, I have to…well what exactly do I have to do?"

"Nothing, Dottore the fake Doctore. I'm going to ask Baizhu for help. I think he can…"

"Dottore the fake Doctore? Why did you just add an E at the end to make it rhyme?"

"Hmph."

*Pop!*
