{A/N: This is the final chapter of book 2. Once again thank you for all of your support. Secrets about the operatives and the introduction of the aqua in the next book.}
"It is nice to meet the both of you." Haku said trying not to sound nervous, he wondered why it seemed that the people who he felt closest to were possessed. Zabuza was believed to be one with a demon, Naruto had the nine tail fox, and now women with the souls of her predecessors. "Will Gaia be all right?"
"Yeah they just thought she would've said hi by now, so they made the first move." Giselle said followed by Niakanji's admission. "Ratty has a worse squeak than bite" The normalcy was again a shock to Haku. Other dimensions, rapid aging, possession, once thought fictional beings, and the living dead were apparently no big deal. Noticing his face Nikki's softened.
"Yeah, buckle up hon crap hasn't gotten real yet." Nikki said softly head tilted. Behind the walls Gaia was too frozen to scream. Along with Ratnavati and her were two older women, a silver centaur dressed for war and the embellishments matched the brown armor of the short brunette woman and the amulet was split between them. "Start by telling us everything, especially why the daughters of hellfire are here." Ratnavati said sneering back at the jade wall "Who knows how much damage three will do?"
"Nikki's my friend. Who are you to judge me?" Gaia said
"You predecessor and the one to oversee your teaching!" Ratnavati summoned a hefty green novel "Did you even read the notes we left behind?"
"Who has time to read this?"
"Someone who cannot die! One who has to live for others?" The two were arguing for some time when Zabuza arrived.
"Honestly every time I turn you're catting up a new lady." Zabuza a bit proud said eyeing the Mage de Firas then Haku. Pointing to Niakanji and Giselle Nikki introduced them explaining. "First de Terra's behind there. These are the first and second de Firas, Niakanji and Giselle"
"Didn't you die?" Zabuza said skeptically. "Sucked into that heart."
"Didn't you two die too?" Niakanji questioned. "Past Mage de can be summoned, and get pissed then isolate you." She said thumb pointed to the arguing voices. The jade wall slid down and all of the de Terra's walked out. Giselle hugged the centaur and picked up the troll, a happy reunion after decades apart.
"Vatti!" Niakanji said arms stretched ready for a reunion of team mates, which was coldly snubbed. To make her feel better Nikki summoned white fire on Niakanji to look like snow, or in this case a cold shoulder which made her giggle and playfully punch her in the arm.
"I have decided to not kick you out if the daughters of he- Mage de Firas train Gaia in cohabitation" Ratnavati said regally. Appearing in her eyes merciful she's see the changes and not only try to guide her protégé but maybe become a fixture in the team that made changes, had control again.
