Fiendish Awakening
A High School DxD Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne
Aria of the soul- Velvet Room OST persona 4
"Son of man, you who are reborn, baptized in the flesh of the fallen... upon you a new world unknown to most humans hath opened to you.
However, you are no longer the son of man, but something else... will you be a fiend, dressed in human skin, or a human dressed in the skin of a fiend?
Your journey trough this new life of yours will decide not only who you are, but how this world will be shaped."
Issei then stopped by a hall of mirrors, he looked at himself...
His body was bare, and on his body where tribal-like tattoos with neon green-ish blue accents.
He shakily puts his hand on the surface of the mirror... only for his twisted reflection to smirk and touch his hand... I get pulled in...
And then... darkness.
Chapter 2: veni vidi et conversus sum in Dyabolum
"GAAAAAAAAAAAH!" I yell as I wake up.
"A...dream?" I think as I look down to my hand and my legs... I sigh in relief, no, there was no crazy tattoos on me.
Wait, why can I see my legs, why is it windy?
I then discover that I was naked.
"W... what the hell?!" Issei yelled.
"Issei! Get ready, it's time to school! are you masturbating again?! I you don't have 2 hrs to wait!" his mom yelled.
"MOM! WTF?!" I yelled.
"Hurry up and get breakfast... it's gonna get cold" she yelled.
Cold... that word.
KRSSHHHHHH the sound of static.
URG!... that's right... last night...
"I got killed..." I said to myself.
Blood... fresh blood... my blood.
KRSSHHHH
"If you want to blame anyone blame God for placing a Sacred gear in you"
Krsshhh.
I feel sick
I wanted to hurl... but I was unable to do so. I only managed to throw up spit.
I went to the bathroom... and I looked at myself in the mirror.
All was normal... but... there was something, like a flickering.
I brushed my teeth and changed into my uniform, the events of last night still fresh in my mind.
"Don't you want any breakfast?" my mother asked me.
"Uhmm... no, I don't feel hungry" I said, my tone is bland, I am confused and to be honest afraid.
I was supposed to die that night, the wound I suffered would kill anyone.
Then... what happened? Why didn't I die?
I stagger and fall into a wall.
I remember Yuuma's smirking face as she struck me with that 'weapon'
And my blood boils.
I feel anger swell within me and I imagine myself ripping her wings... delighting myself on the imaginary look of her face as I destroy her, slowly...
"W... what the fuck is wrong with me?" I said to myself as I noticed the dark thoughts coming on to me.
I get it, I got killed, I was lied to, I was humiliated, I have EVERY RIGHT to be angry.
But... those thoughts... where had they come from? I am not like that, I alwaysys just move on, I mean, I use to peek at the girls in the Kendo Club at school, check out the girls on P.E and the like, and sometimes I get busted and called many insulting things, but this... why...
Then... I remember... the incident.
I remember something I shouldn't... something that I wanted to forget.
That weird worm like creature... and how it crawled into the wound and into my.
KRSSHHHHHHH
I fall to my knees...
I was gasping for air... I wanted to throw up again but only spit came out.
I wanted to cry... but no tears came out... what is going on with my body? Why have I changed like this? Is this normal? no... I read books on the 'changes' that boys go... and his is not normal.
Who could I ask? The school's nurse? No probably she would either call the police (I peeped on her many times, she has a real nice rack) or send me to the loony bin.
My friends?
Nah, they would laugh and probably mock me.
In the end... I was alone... wait...
About Yuuma...
I pulled my phone out and scrolled down.
Her name, any pictures I took of her with it... it was all gone.
I need to know... so I HAVE to go to school... maybe someone overheard her number, I know one of those two idiots might have.
School
As I reached into the school I saw some people that made something tingle in my spine, it wasn't a bad tingle, rather it was a 'warning' of sorts.
It was Kiba, as soon as I saw him I felt like I analyzed him... and then I knew.
He was not human.
I could see, in a bizarre way, how much damage he could take, how much power he could use... and what he was weak to... Low-class devil.
Did... did I get an ability like the scouter like Motohama? no... it only showed Kiba's characteristics... kinda like an RPG.
"Still... I would have liked it if they gave me info on the girls" I thought as I hung my head in depression.
Then... Yuuma's image and her cruel laugh as she pierced me appear in my mind once more.
I bite my lip as my anger continues to raise, for some reason people are actively avoiding me, and... they look... scared? Worried?
POV Kiba Yuuto
I woke early this morning, as I had been asked by Rias Bucho to arrange certain things, there have been some increased activity on the stray devils, those who broke away from their masters... and many incidents have occurred, we also suspected some activity from the Fallen Faction, but so far I have not been able to find anything at all.
I was making my way to the club room when suddenly my body froze, I could feel as the blood on my face was being drained and I felt a tight grip (metaphorically speaking) on my heart and felt a cold wave wash over me.
Fear.
Not just fear, no, this was not any kind of fear, it was something deep, ingrained into my psyche from times immemorial, an ancient fear, an animalistic fear and instinct that warned me of something truly dangerous.
I tried to find the one who was washing over the whole area with such killing intent.
I tried and then found the cause, someone who was several yards away.
I couldn't believe where the killing intent was coming from.
It was the last person I would think to have such a big pressure of hatred and killing intent.
And to make matter worst... that dark pressure was not human, it was dark, bitter, horrible, unsightly.
It felt demonic, but at the same time not... tainted, darker...
Did buchou turn him? Or was Shitori-kaichou?... still one thing was on my mind
"This... is bad... he is dangerous" I thought to myself
Then... Issei turned to look at me.
I-Impossible.
I felt like he sized me up, knew, in some intrinsic way, that I was dangerous and his body tensed.
His eyes... his eyes changed to a pale yellow color and I felt honest fear of death, I would not be surprised if the rest of the peerage felt it.
I was sweating and bad at that.
I never felt so much fear, and from someone like him...
I felt like I was looked by a beast... and proved to be worthless, he turned around and ignored me.
I never felt so relieved/I have never felt more humiliated.
I never felt so much honest fear, and from one called the 'Perverted beast'
Issei POV
It was a real horrible time, people where fearing him,only his friends had somewhat stayed with him, they where worried about him.
Specially when I asked them the question.
"Do you know about Yuuma?" I asked.
"Yuuma? Who is that?"
"Hey Issei, are you sure feeling alright? What are you talking about?"
"You remember... Yuuma? Girl with pretty violet eyes, long dark hair... asked me out?" I said
"You get a girl? Have you masturbated so much it messed with your head?" one said.
I growled softly, but they got scared, apparently I was scaring them.
Class went as normal, if you could say people pulling their desks away from Issei who was emanating pure blood-lust.
"That... that bitch! Not only did she messed with me, broke my heart and killed me, but she erased herself from everyone's memories?! I am gonna find that little cunt and tear her apart"
Even the teacher was so affected that he decided to give the class a self-study time.
It was then when that person came in.
"Ah... excuse me for intruding, Hyoudou Issei... is he here?" the prince of Kuoh asked.
"Eh!? That pervert!?" "no way... don't' go there he will infect Y-"
With glared at the people with so much hate in my being that they stopped in mid sentence, they looked at me like I was a wild animal, ready to tear them apart, shred them to pieces...
"Issei... please calm down, you are scaring them, I think I know what happened, so please follow me, we might help you out" Yuuto said.
I took a deep breath calming myself a bit.
"Lead the way... devil" I said.
Kiba flinched...
"Follow me" he said and lead me to an old school house in the area.
The area around it had a heavy feeling, but rather than feeling bad I was relishing in it for some reason, like this place felt better than outside.
"Buchou, he is here" Kiba said as he opened the door.
I entered the room, the furniture was rather elegant, all things said, this place looked like something out of an early European mansion.
"Welcome Hyoudou Issei, please have a seat" the top ranking Onee-sama said to me.
If it was the me before the attack I would have complied, however I remained on my feet.
"Sorry... but I don't feel comfortable, I trusted someone and I nearly got killed, so please understand my weariness" I said.
"I see, just one question, where you approached by Souna Shitri?" Rias asked.
"Kaichou? No, why would she? Actually I think she and I are rather incompatible... so tell me something, why are you, devils... here at school? Are you working with that fallen angel?" I said as I frowned at them.
"Eh... fallen? No, I see... you really don't know anything don't you... about the 3 factions?" she asked.
I shook my head, "No... I do not" I said.
"I see, then allow me to tell you, there are 3 factions, the Devils (us), The fallen angels and the angels, we had a war many centuries ago... so now we are rather facing a very real threat of extinction" She said as she sighed, she sat down on her chair.
"I see" I said as I took in the new information.
"that being said, I wish to ask about your... transformation" Rias said. "How did it happen?"
"I... I can't really tell you, all I remember was going on a date with a girl... I went to a antique store and getting a megatama... then... that girl... she killed me...that bitch toyed with my heart and then killed me" I said as I got angrier.
"Issei-kun" Kiba said as he nudged me.
I sighed... I was doing it again, I took a deep breath to calm myself, I was getting too agitated when I thought about that... person.
"Ah, you mean Yuuma, Raynare" Rias said.
"Wait... you remember?" I said.
She threw a picture to the coffee table, it was him with Yuuma, now Raynare smiling as they ate some crepes.
He saw the picture... it was bittersweet.
And then the rage returned, only he pushed it down... he knew what he would do.
"I am going to kill her... I will rip her black wings and cram them down her throat" He said as the anger laced his voice.
Akeno was visibly exited for some reason... what would her problem be.
"Issei, please control yourself, I understand your rage and frustration, but please, have some control" Rias admonished.
"Aaaaahhhh..." I took in a deep breath.
"Sorry... I am not in control... I don't know what is wrong with me" I said.
"About your change" Rias asked.
"Yes, the megatama, the person who gave it to me said it was a ritualistic item used in old Japanese customs." I said.
"Yes, I can attest to that" Akeno-san said. "As a miko I have seen them used many times, even to date"
"Well... I don't know how, or what happened, but it broke down and a large insect that looked something between a worm and a snake with pincers appeared from within... and... it burrowed into the wound in my stomach... and then..." I said...
Then I feel to the floor on my knees... I held my head as I groaned in pain... even remembering that was painful, phantom pains begun to crawl up on me and I fall on the fall... shivering.
"I... Issei-san" Rias was shocked..
"M... My brain...it burrowed from my wound in my stomach to my brain" I said as as remembered the feeling. My eyes where dilated, I was in shock as I remember with minute detail the 'road' the 'thing' took to reach to my brain, I could feel it moving, tearing it's way to my brain.
They where all visibly sick... "H... how barbaric... I know there are way to turn humans into other supernatural beings, but I never heard of something so barbaric" she said, feeling visibly sick.
"So... it wasn't one of your people?" I said as I glared at her.
"NO! We would never use such barbaric methods!" Rias said. "That's just sick and wrong" Rias said, visibly appalled at what Issei went trough.
"Anyways... I wish to extend upon you an offer" Rias said.
Issei raised an eyebrow.
"Would you like to join into my peerage?" she asked.
"what is that?" I asked
"Wee... basically you would be part of my family, and treated as a member of my group, if you do well you can also be promoted and when you reach a high enough rank you would be able to form your own peerage" She said.
"I see..." I said.
Wait... peerage...?
"One question... what are the rules about having a peerage?" I asked.
"Well... the peerage, it has to follow the rules of chess, they must have 16 person's to the peerage, that is not a rule tough, as with peerage you can use more than a single piece to turn that person into your peerage, the more capable that person is, the more pieces uses" she said.
I can have a peerage made of only females then! That would be awesome! I would be able to become a Harem King!
"Oh... you are interested?" Rias said.
"Sure... why not?" I said very exited at the prospect of becoming a Harem King!
She put a few pieces on him... one...
BZZZZZTTTTZZZZZZZZZZ
The sound of something grinding on something
BASHIN!
"GYAH!" they yelled as they got out of the way.
"W... what on earth?" Rias shouted as she got out of the way of the impromptu projectile.
It was a badly damaged pawn piece, whose top half had been shredded to bits and pieces.
Wh... what on earth?!
Later that night
"GAAAAAHHHH!" I yelled as I paddled as fast as I could, thankfully my bike was reinforced by Akeno-san's magic, otherwise I think it would have broken with the strength and speed I was going at.
I had a small device that told me where people with 'greed' lived, apparently those where the ones that had a wish that wanted to be fulfilled and thus had the highest chance on calling a devil.
Apparently my 'transformation' into whatever the hell I am, made me unable to become a devil, then that meant that I was not in fact a devil, that made things more complicated, and now, I am working for Rias to repay that broken piece, apparently they where VERY expensive, and while it was an accident I could not stand by and just not take responsibility for what happened.
Or at least I thought as much... I am pretty sure I got roped into this somehow...
Ah... now I remember... Akeno-san had erotically rubbed herself against me and 'suggested' to me to repay this way.
I... am an idiot, aren't I?
Well so I stop at the place, I knocked the door feeling silly, what kind of devil doesn't use a magic circle to appear?
I sigh, but I remember the reason I couldn't use the magic circle.
"It's because you are not part of the peerage, since you are not, you are unable to use the Gremory summoning circle" Rias explained.
Well, beggars can't be choosers, and I am in her debt as I broke something rather important.
"Good afternoon! I'm an errand from the devil Gremory-sama! Excuse me but this is the house
that made a summon right?"
This should be alright. Devils can only be sensed by those who summoned them. Even if I do something like this in the middle of the night, the neighbors won't know what is going on. That's why only the client can hear what I just said. During the time when a devil is doing his job, a special magic takes place. It is used so it doesn't cause any trouble to other people. That was how Buchou explained it to me.
"Who's there!?"
The voice sounded like a man with a panicked voice.
"Ummm, I'm a devil. I'm a newbie and I came here because I was called by you."
"Don't lie! There isn't any devil that knocks on doors! Devils come out from this leaflet! That's how it was for the past summoning! And the one I called for is Koneko-chan!"
Yeah he's right. I will apologize for that. I'm sorry. It was an unexpected incident for me and the others.
"Oh sorry. I am only a part-time devil... so I can't use the summoning circle yet" I said honestly
"You might be just a hentai!"
I got pissed off as soon as he said that.
"I'm not a hentai! And how should I know! If I could, I also wanted to appear by the magic circle! hat kind of loner would peddle their bicycle through the town in the middle of the night!" I said as my eye twitched.
It was weird, I got mad, but I did not feel like I wanted to kill him... maybe because he was a human?
I sighed, "very well... I am sorry to have wasted your time, I guess I will just head home then" I said in a defeated tone.
He opened the door. "Come on in... you sound so pitiful"
"Ah, I'll be in your care" I said with a light bow.
"So... what can I help you with?" I ask
"Well... I just need to take this doushins to the comiket opening the day after tomorrow, I have a buddy of mine waiting for our haul but my car is broken, and I got a bad back... do you think you could take them?" he asked.
So... I was working as a mover uh? Oh well...
"by the way... why did you intend to call?" I asked curiously.
"Koneko-chan of course, she looks so cute and small, but she has the strength of 20 men at least" he said with a smirk.
"A... I see..." I said feeling a bit weird about this.
So I moved 3 big boxes on my own, apparently my strength had drastically increased, the weight of this boxes was nearly negligent, and my speed also shot up quite considerably, considering it was about 20 minutes away on foot, I managed to make pretty good time, I made it in under 2 hours, and the person there after he received a stamp on the card he was given by Akeno-san.
"Oh, before I forget, here take this" the man said as he took a few golden coins from his jacket.
"UH? What is this?" I ask.
"Well I dunno, but I found them once by chance when a vending machine broke down and took my money, it spit out my money after I hit it and these coins, I dunno what currency they are but I think you might like em" he said as he handed me the golden coins, they had an estilised 'h' on them with a line over it crossing the letter.
"Uh... ok, thanks I hope you have good luck selling them" I said honestly.
"Thanks kid, you are alright, a bit odd for a devil, but alright" he said with a kind smirk.
I left to go back to the clubhouse, the contract had been done perfectly and I got his signature, confirming that I managed to do it.
Still tough the golden coins where something new... I never seen them before, maybe I will find someone who can tell me what they are?
I sigh as I pass by the park I was killed and then...
Shiver
I feel something, like eyes looking at me, sizing me up.
I stop, and I park my bike and walk a bit more, I don't want to get my bike damaged.
"Who is there... come on out... don't piss me off, I am seriously NOT in the mood" I said
For some reason I feel like it's murky, my mind is sharp and clear, but my sense of 'self' is murky.
A man steps out of the trees, he was wearing a trench coat and a fedora, he looked like a hard boiled detective.
"This is rare. To meet someone like you in a place like this."
"...?"
What is he saying? No, no, it won't be weird if crazy people like him talk some nonsense. So he is a dangerous guy after all! Oh shit! What should I do if he takes out a knife!? I don't know any self defense martial arts, nor have I ever had a fight before! Oh I know! My body becomes insanely strong at night, so I could run for it! I walked backwards to create some distance between us. The mysterious guy started walking towards me with a normal pace.
"What, trying to run away? Who is your master? It must be a person with a very low rank or with a weird hobby to choose this place as a territory. So, who is your Master?"
I don't even know what the heck you are saying! I turned around and sprinted to the place I came from at full speed. Fast. It was insanely fast. It is weird for me to say it, but the speed of my run at night is insane. I kept on running and went into unfamiliar streets. I'm not tired or anything. I can keep on running. If that's the case, then I'm going to run till there is some distance between us. After about 15 minutes, I came into an area with lots of space. It's a park. I stopped running, and walked instead. I went up to the water fountain as I was inhaling some air. I looked around the park under the light lamp. Something feels mysterious about this place. I know this place.
Yes, this is the last place I visited on the date with Yuuma-chan! Man, what a coincidence or should I say miracle? Did I come here unconsciously? That can't be...
Chills.
I feel chills behind me. I have a feeling that something is behind me. I turned around slowly, and saw black feathers dropping in front of me. Is it a feather of a crow? No, this isn't.
"Did you think I'll let you escape? That's why a lowly being is a pain in the ass."
The person who appeared in front of me is wearing a suit and he has black wings growing out of him. It's the suspicious guy from before. An angel... No, no this isn't a fairy tale so that can't be!? Is it a cosplay? It looks too real for a cosplay. Are those real wings? It can't be!?
"Tell me the name of your master. It's a hindrance to get bothered by your kind. For that we will... Wait are you an 'exiled one'? If you have no master, then that would explain the worried expression on your face."
The suspicious guy is mumbling by himself. Don't make up stuff on your own! The situation is serious, but I suddenly remembered about the date incident I had in my dream. The dream where I was killed by Yuuma-chan. Exactly in front of this water fountain. Yes, by Yuuma-chan who had black wings. And there is a guy with black wings in front of me. Is this the thing where a dream becomes a reality? Hey, hey why did a hot chick turn into a guy!? No, that's not important! What's important is the situation I'm currently in! If this is going according that
dream, then the next thing which will happen to me is...
I looked at him... and realize WHAT he was...
and then... the anger came.
"Fallen Angel" I said in a grutal voice.
"Eh?" he said a bit confused
"I see... so that bitch send you uh... that's fine, I will hunt her down myself... then... be good and clench your teeth... I am gonna vent out ON YOUR CORPSE!" I yelled as I lunged at him.
"Wha!?" he yelled, taken back by the speed I was showing.
I tackled him and pushed him against a wall, he grunted as he tried to attack with a spear of light.
Snap
"GAH!" he yelled in pain, his wrist I broke it by slamming my foot on his wrist against the wall.
Then with his other hand he pierced my back.
"FOOL! light is poison for your kind... now then you are going...to...die..." his words died out on his mouth as I pulled the spear of light, blood spurted out of my back but it only hurt a bit.
I glared at him as I charged at him.
"SHUT UP!" I yelled as I hit him with the weapon he used against me as I was using a bat, I used to much force that it broke.
He fell to the floor.
"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOU!" I continued as I kicked him upwards, I could hear the sound of his jaw nearly breaking.
"The bitch Yuuma... Raynare... she toyed with me... and tried to kill me" I yelled as I punched him in the stomach, making him reel back in pain.
"Y... yOU!" he yelled as he tried to attack.
I grabbed his hand and twisted it, I delivered a brutal headbutt to his face breaking his nose, blood gushed from his now broken nose.
"Ga... GahHH!" he yelled in pain.
"I will use you... to deliver a message" I said as I kick him into the wall, making him cave in the wall, unable to move, only his wings stretched out as a sign of him trying to flee... but I wouldn't allow it...
POV change Rias Gremory
I was feeling unease, specially with what Issei said about a fallen angel attacking him... "Akeno, please make a circle to take us to Isse, I am worried, he should be here about half an hour ago" I said.
She nodded, she understood the reason of my uneasiness.
Then... I felt it... it was the presence of a fallen.
"QUICKLY! We must save Issei" I yelled.
However the visage in front of me was something I was never expecting.
A devil is weak to light, specially the ones from angels and the fallen ones, to fight a fallen angel is paramount to suicide, specially when you are a low-class devil, and this angel had experience.
Yet... the impossible was happening in front of me, Issei, perverted boy, nice guy, broken hearted and transformed into something he did not know... was breaking the fallen angel apart.
"I REALLY don't think Issei-kun needs saving Buchou" Kiba said.
"Your body will deliver a message for me... tell that bitch... that what I did to you... will seem like heaven once I find her" he said with a grutal voice.
I was afraid, this was not Issei, not the Issei I knew... whatever happened had changed him.
He put he foot on the chest of the fallen.
"Close your mouth, you might bite your tongue off... I don't want you dying on me" Issei said.
He grasped at the two wings.
"W... what are you... No... stop STOP STOOOOPPPP!" the fallen yelled as Issei, with a vicious smirk PULLED.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip
"G.. GGYAAAAAAAAH!" He yelled as the whites of his eyes was all that could be seen.
"ISSEI STOP!" I yelled as I saw the gruesome and sickening display.
Koneko was fearful, she was shivering and grasping at my leg as it was a lifeline, Kiba was pale and Akeno.
"For the love of the Maou! Are you getting turned on!?" I mentally yelled as her face was flushed and she had a labored breathing... and her hand was someplace I REALLY did not want to think about right now. I know she was a sadist but I think she just found a perfect person to be with.
On his hands laid the wings and from the fallen's back splurted blood.
"go... or I will Kill you" Issei said.
The Fallen ran... he ran as best as he could leaving a trail of blood in his wake.
He tried to use his magic but it was no use... for I knew...
Once you rip the wings of an angel... they loose ALL their power, the same applies to the fallen.
He was just now a shadow of what he was, he would never recover.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Issei yelled as he calmed down.
Issei then left.
"WH... what happened to him" I said in shock.
"Ara ara... the fallen got away, what a shame" Akeno said.
"You need some help" I said glaring at Akeno, who just chuckled.
"Still that is rather odd... if he was this strong... why did he got killed in the first place?" Kiba asked.
"Let's ask him tomorrow, maybe... maybe he will be calm... for now let's let him be" Rias said.
"Still... he is dangerous" Koneko said.
"How so?" Rias said.
"I feel... he could swallow my soul whole... or something like that" Koneko said.
Rias sighed... she HAD to contact her brother... he would surely know what happened to him... to be changed into whatever he was should be something about it.
I left to another place... I was breathing... breathing hard, "DAMN IT!" I yelled.
"SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT!" I yelled over and over as I hit a tree, splintering at first, then caving it... then piercing it.
My hands only hurt slightly, as I had just punched a face... my hands where covered in blood of the enemy.
"W... what did I do? What have I done? w... WHAT AM I~!?" I yelled.
At a church a ways by
"O... open up" a hoarse voice yelled as he weakly banged into the door.
"Azazel's wings... what in the world" a little girl said as she helped the broken fallen in.
"Kalawarner! Get over here... help me out!" the small girl yelled.
"W-what happened to you?" Kalawarner asked in shock.
"G... get Raynare... GET HER!" he yelled with fury in his eyes, his eyes where dancing around, looking like a madman.
"Dohnaseek... what... y... your wings! What happened to them?!" Raynare was visibly sick at the sigh in front of him.
"Y... you... wh... what the fuck did you DO!?" He said as he gripped his back, blood pouring from his wounds.
"W.. what?!" Raynare said in shock.
"This is... this is your fault... I don't know what you did with that kid... but... he told me to tell you this... 'what happened to me will seem like heaven after I get you' Raynare... Just... what the fuck... did you unleash?" Dohnaseek said as he expired from the blood loss and shock.
Raynare was terrified, she never seen such brutality, Dohnaseek was broken in more ways than one.
And having his wings RIPPED from him... the person was just cruel, but who could it be? Who did she crossed so much that he would be that pissed, and was THIS STRONG?
She was afraid, she had no idea who it could be, and with the power that person displayed...
Her plans needed to speed up, she had to call that idiot perverted priest to come over with the nun ASAP.
Chapter end.
