Crowley was on the prowl as he was still hiding away from Kazuo, who was still occupied by his line of work. The stay in the castle was far worse than being in his own dungeon in Hell as he decided to leave for a stroll in a plume of smoke. By the time he surfaced into Kanto Village, he spotted Valerie coming back home with some groceries for her children as she stopped in her tracks. She spotted Crowley in the street as he was most likely to be taking her when he got the chance, for fate would surely intervene soon enough.

"Hello, Mrs. Stevenson," he said to her. "I take it that you did a little shopping for your brood, even though you're the sole breadwinner for them."

"These groceries are to last us for the next couple of days," she said. "Pretty soon, my mother-in-law will be coming in just to help out, even though she was once a hunter in her prime."

"You've done a lot since your late husband's passing, but has it ever occurred to you that every man would want to bed you just for comfort."

"What the hell are you playing at?! I've been a widow since Daryl's death, but I'm not about to be viewed as the town prostitute! I struggle to make ends meet and I can't just give up working and let my children starve in the streets."

"Just give it a few days, Mrs. Stevenson. Sooner or later, you would want a man in your bed after all that tragedy you experienced. Even your home was once destroyed by Darbus Toller's creations when they decided to go in and ransack this town to their own advances. After all that, I will put a stop to them or die trying just to get rid of them."

"Well, that's healthy to hear, but their handlers in the Executive Division have been hard at work in keeping them in their arsenal, but their presence would make anyone cringe. Now, if you don't mind, I have to check on my children, who have some of the members of the Medical Corps babysitting them while I work."

It wasn't long until Crowley saw Valerie go home as she was eager to see her children once again. As for his usual scheme to save her for last, the former King of Hell was ready to make his move, but he was under a lot of scrutiny due to Kazuo's stern watch, for he would soon have the local widow to himself when the time was right…

I spotted Reina closely as she arrived in the time of a wedding. Still, she was there for a reason like the rest of us as we had to formulate a plan to destroy the factory here on Drakonus. Even though her arrival was unexpected, I had to adhere to her presence as I was most likely to be getting involved into destroying the factory while putting a damper on the Executive Division's dangerous plans for subjugating the entire galaxy to their own desires. Even Deejatra was wanting to show proof of what she saw as she wanted to let her know about the latest player in the Executive Division's arsenal of terror in this ongoing war.

"It's been a while, Reina," I said.

"It seems that you've changed a lot, Sam," she said.

"Lady Reina, we have a problem," said Deejatra as she revealed the scrap metal that was in her hand.

"It's as I feared… The Old Guard's machines emerging after all those centuries in which they were modeled after the departed Arthur Ketch from the Elder Days."

"And the Executive Division has acquired them to add in their arsenal just like they did with Darbus Toller's leftovers and the Black Dragon Guild."

"It's been ages since such technology had resurfaced, but we should also be careful when we deal with those things."

"Last night, I saw a platoon of Ketch robots attempting to kill a pair of werewolves who did away with some assassins from the Black Dragon Guild. So far, they're in protective custody after all that has happened, but the Ketch robots are far more advanced than the soulless dolls that we usually fight on a daily basis."

"You did the right thing into protecting them from the Ketch robots, but those deplorable machines do away with anything that moves until they eradicate their target," I said. "Still, we have the Executive Division to deal with in which they won't stop until we're all submissive drones to their will."

It wasn't long until I saw a courier arrive with a letter as I caught it in my hand. Opening it up, I found that there was an influx of refugees coming from the region of Heigus as they were living in fear of their captors. That message of bad news gave me fresh hope as I was most likely to be liberating the people from an aggressive regime, for I would soon join the battle soon enough…

Emperor Wan was in his room as he was cleaned up and ready for the evening. The festivities between him and Danielle were a call for them to consummate their union before it was over. By the time he saw his childhood friend who was now his wife and new Empress, she was dressed in a nightgown as she had her long silver hair down to her feet. The sight of her made Emperor Wan want her a lot more as he saw her coming to their bed for the night. Both of them were ready to seal the deal of their marriage as they were most likely to do so before the night was over.

"You look radiant," said Emperor Wan as he saw Danielle take off her nightgown.

"It's always been my duty to have you take me, Vasily," she said.

"It's a godsend that the new god blessed us with this union."

"I'm the one who was once on the brink of death, only to have this silver hair save my life after that."

"And I'm thankful that you're alive. Still, the hair that was given to you as a wig and later fused onto your head did a lot more to rewrite your genetic makeup after you were stricken with cancer at the time. Still, I don't mind it because that silver hair makes you a lot more unique than being just plain all the time."

It wasn't long until Emperor Wan took off his own nightclothes as he began to wait for Danielle to come to their marriage bed. Both of them were most likely to be ready for the next step as the Emperor noticed his new bride coming towards him fully naked and ready to let him have what he wanted. The sight of her body made him blush as he never had any experience with women before until now. Still, he was ready to take the plunge as he began to kiss her soft lips the moment she got closer towards him. In a twist of fate, he began to feel at the soft breasts that she had as he even touched at the nipples in which he heard her moan to his delight.

He was starting to get the hang of this night of pleasure as he felt his member hardening up for some odd reason. With a simple urge, he shifted gears as he pinned Danielle to the bed and spread her legs open. She was afraid due to her virginal fear engulfing her on this night as she saw the Emperor touch at the soft flesh between her legs. At that moment, he took point as he breached her defenses and crash through inside of her. The feel of his member made Danielle shake as she began to welcome it the moment she felt him thrusting inward and outward of her. She was wanting more of him as she saw him bury his face beneath those large breasts of hers. She even felt his mouth suck on one of the nipples as she was overwhelmed with the sensual pleasure that she was feeling.

"Oh,Vasily!" she yelled. "I love you so much!"

She continued to feel his hot member do its work as she couldn't get enough of it. Her body was reacting to his touch as he was giving her more pleasure than what he normally had planned. By the time they reached the end of their interlude, the Emperor felt his livelihood gushing out as he was fully sated with consummating his marriage to Danielle. By the time he pulled out of her, he noticed that she was bleeding between her legs as he was scared to death of it until he took her to the bathroom to clean her up. The sight of blood and semen between her legs nearly made him vomit as he was trying to keep it together the moment he placed her near the wash basin. When he saw her clean up the blood and semen between her legs, he was thankful that he didn't hurt her very badly as it was a normal part for a woman to lose her virginity on her wedding night, for it was the first after all.

"I never expected to go too far before," said the Emperor as he saw Danielle clean herself thoroughly. "I didn't mean to hurt you like that..."

"It's normal to see a woman lose her virginity," she said. "Didn't your late father and other advisors teach you about sex education?"

"Sex education is forbidden by the royal court because of the backlash coming from the ultra-religious. Even I was forbidden about talking about the humanoid body's nether regions because it equates to pornography, which is banned here in Skyward City."

"I learned sexual education from what was taught by my teachers in the orphanage. I also had a feeling that I would lose myself to you when you just took me on our wedding night not too long ago."

"If we ever have children, may they know about how the humanoid body truly works. I'm the emperor of this planet, for we can't just stay close-minded forever."

Danielle smiled at Emperor Wan as she was grateful to marry him in this turn of events. As for what was yet to come, they were most likely to be seeing more of the Executive Division's dangerous scare tactics on the horizon as their efforts into reveling into war won't go away quietly. By the time Emperor decided to clean himself up, he spotted a mechanical bird perched by the window as he threw a bar of ginseng soap at it the moment it fell out the window. Looking down, he saw it smashed to pieces as his guards picked it up, SIM-Tron chip and all. Invasion of privacy was something that couldn't be tolerated in the Drakonar royal court, but the sight of the Executive Division encroaching on the rights of others was something that couldn't be ignored at all, for it was mortal danger waiting on the horizon.

"It's gonna be one hell of a discussion on the horizon," he said as he went towards the wash basin to clean himself up. "I bet that Sam's not gonna be thrilled to hear from what's been going on since those birds came here just to spy on him for no reason."

"Are you certain about this, Vasily?" asked Danielle as she stepped into the bathtub.

"These days, if a mechanical bird is there, it sends the feedback to its handlers in which I have a gut feeling that Julilla is building more than just an alliance of old enemies. It's also the factor of stealing married men just to screw her way to the top."

"Emperor Wan!"

The emperor finished cleaning himself as he was drying himself with a towel. Dressing up in a bathrobe, he left the bathroom and out into the rest of his room as he opened up the door and saw Ryosuke standing in front of him. This time, he was in dire need of his support more than ever as the time to overthrow the Executive Division from the Drakonar region of Heigus was about to begin anytime soon.

"We need your say on this matter, Your Majesty," said Ryosuke.

A few days later, Kazuo was searching far and wide for Crowley as he was on the warpath to bring him back to the castle. The search for him was a hapless one as he spotted an elderly woman with brown hair and blue eyes in which she was wearing a Christmas wreath pin on her coat. Like Valerie, she was also on hand into making ends meet as she was hearing all the talk about Crowley and his escapades so far, for none of us would hear the end of it anytime soon.

"If you're looking for that Fergus guy, he said he went off to one of those fertility clinics just to earn some money, Kazuo," she said.

"Holly Stevenson, I presume?" he said. "For a Terran woman who wears a holiday wreath on your sleeve, you wear it very well to honor your son's memory."

"I was artificially inseminated just like Margaret Holdhurst, who was Valerie's mother, but the both of us never expected to bear Elven children before until now. As for Valerie's predicament, she's been hurting since my son got eaten by a monster during Christmas, but I keep telling her to move on and find herself a man to keep her company. She's already got four babies to feed, but not having a man to help out can put a psychological damper on them if they aren't careful enough."

"Valerie's problems can be handled with later. As for 'Fergus,' he won't hide forever in which he's been spotting the working widow for a while now."

"I sure hope that she gets a man to keep her warm at night. Besides, it's better than being cranky all the time."

It wasn't long until Kazuo heard something coming into one of the rooms of the castle as he sprinted to where the intruder was holed up at. When he entered into the room, he saw Crowley dressed up in a Christmas onesie as he was ready to be defiant against him, for he would soon have his plans failing on him if he wasn't careful. Still, Kazuo was no stranger into dealing with the former King of Hell as he would also have other things in mind when it came to having him examined for further problems in the undercarriage.

"You left past curfew," he said.

"Oh, come now, habanero; you could be a little lenient towards me," said Crowley.

"Holly Stevenson said that you've been hitting up some of the fertility clinics just to earn extra money just to make ends meet, but you skipped your checkup again."

"You're not gonna do a bloody thing to me because I'm wearing a onesie so you don't jab your finger up my ass!"

"Is that so? We'll see about it!"

Crowley was itching to use his telekinesis on Kazuo as he later found out that the medic general of the Medical Corps was shielded by his attacks due to the Brandings of God embedded on his body. At that moment, he felt his body frozen as he saw Kazuo put on a pair of latex gloves and used his own abilities to shred the onesie that the former King of Hell wore. Naked and embarrassed, Crowley felt a gloved finger being shoved into his anal cavity as he was feeling the pinch of what was going on in his lower region. Still, he was no match for the High Elf as this form of embarrassment would soon get the better of him, for it was very annoying so far…

I was at a meeting as I was being briefed in one of the assembly halls in Emperor Wan's palace with several other members of our allied forces. The matter with dealing with the Executive Division's scare tactics left a sour taste in our mouths as we were most likely to be formulating our next plan of action on the sidelines. With Reina discussing our plans with Ryosuke and the other allied members, she was determined to shut the factory in Andarias down as its presence had gone too far this time.

"We have a problem on our hands," she said. "The Drakonar city of Andarias is not only churning out the usual artificial creations that were conjured up by the late Darbus Toller, but we have to deal with the Old Guard's old skeletons in the closet."

"The Ketch robots that were seen a few nights ago were once a powerful force to be reckoned with from the Old Guard, but they went out of control by killing everything in their tracks," said Ryosuke.

"I've known the Ketch robots for centuries, but their presence shouldn't be taken lightly at this time. They already tried to kill Lucas Fitzgerald and Maureen Arbogast in which they were programmed to do so by Lorne Eichenberg, who led that assault against them."

"The Emperor and his new Empress are already aware of what the Ketch robots can do, for they were once programmed to even kill those who got in the way," I said. "What we also know is that the Old Guard's machines are now in the hands of our enemy and still going. In the end of it all, I suggest that we take the fight towards the city of Andurias and destroy that factory that has acquired them."

"Then it's settled, we go in and hit them hard before our enemies start to blindside us without warning," said Ryosuke. "We can't just sit by and allow those things to rain down because of the fact that we were meant to do the right thing and bring this fight to where it hurts. We leave at dawn to the city, for we won't be holding back anytime soon. We already lost one headquarters of the Order on Alecrast, but we won't be losing another at the hands of our enemies."

With the gavel striking, the meeting was adjourned as we all had to prepare for the latest assault against the Executive Division so far. Even though we were out there for a reason, we had to do our part into stopping our enemies as they won't be resting quietly…

Valerie was at her home as she was busy taking care of her children, who were eating dinner as planned. The sight of steak with garlic sauce complete with a side order of mashed potatoes was something that was commonly there at mealtimes as widowed Elf and her four children were busy as a family. Still, she couldn't get over her encounter with Crowley as she was troubled about her beliefs to not marry clash with the temptation of having a man to comfort her. For the record of it all, she was concerned about the whole affair as she couldn't get out of the situation she was in, for she would soon be drawn to a much more darker temptation like a moth to a flame.

"This steak is good, Mommy," said Edith as she took a bite of her food.

"It's good that you like it," said Valerie.

"Grandma said that you won't allow anyone in our inner circle, is that true?" asked Clara.

"You shouldn't hear such talk like that." Valerie is busy feeding her twin sons as they were making a mess out of themselves. "Elves are different than Terrans in which if one marries again after the death of a spouse, they will be drowning in a lake of fire for all eternity. I can't sully your daddy's memory like that after what happened around Christmas."

"And what about that strange man who hangs around the castle? Is he scary?"

"He can be at times, but no one knows about what he does so far, which is something that I won't look into right now."

It wasn't long until Valerie heard the door open as she noticed Holly arriving with a basket of bread in her hands. Even though her mother-in-law was there to help her in times of need, she was also concerned about the ongoing loneliness that crept over her since the death of Daryl Stevenson nearing three years ago. The house remained the same as the sight of the Christmas tree in the living room still stood near the fireplace after that terrible tragedy, but the time to move on was going to be a difficult one in the process.

"It's always been empty since Daryl died," said Holly as she looked at the picture of her late son on the mantel with incense cones burning in a small decanter. "Still, people lose friends, loved ones, and even familial love and acceptance, but having to become lonely isn't something that my late boy wanted from you."

"I know, but after that tragedy three years ago, I can't just let his memory fade away after all that we lost. Alindri and Orzamru were born after their father's death, but both them and their sisters don't have a father to look after all of us right now."

"So, you tap into the odd jobs that you can muster, but no one can be lonely forever after what happened to my boy. If he saw you like that by avoiding further comfort of a man in your life after his passing, he'd be turning in his grave right now."

Valerie heard a tapping on the window as she saw a paper plane flying into the house. Picking it up, she unraveled it as she saw the words, "meet me in the castle at night," in black marker. Even though she staved off attempts by other suitors to remain firm as a widow, she couldn't help it as she was about to be drawn into the biggest form of temptation imaginable, for it would soon change her life for the better or worse in mind...

Later on in the evening, Crowley was in his designated room as he was not too thrilled with what he went through. After having a bath and newly cleaned up earlier, he wasn't about to let that humiliation get the better of him as he was desperate enough to have one more fling before the upcoming battle against the Executive Division on Drakonus. Even though he was still reeling from where he had a thorough prostate examination earlier, he was most likely to be hiding from Kazuo as he still spotted potential on scoring with Valerie soon enough. When he heard footsteps approaching, he had a bad feeling that his comic foil would stifle his plans until he saw the door open up. He was expecting Valerie, but all he was expecting was none other than Gary and Styre as they were about to bring him into their upcoming powwow so far.

"You're cramping up my space, you blithering blockheads!" he yelled.

"Dude, we just got word that the factory on Drakonus is churning out both artificial creations that Darbus Toller built and those robots from the Old Guard," said Styre.

"So, you want my help to shut down that bitch and her cronies on that planet, don't you?"

"You're not the only one who bears a grudge against the Executive Division, Crowley," said Gary as he sat down. "I lost my job at Ruby's Knife because of those Toller bits, but I also helped into destroying the Sol-1 almost a year ago. You can't just put it off any longer anyway because of the fact that the factory in the Drakonar city of Andarias is our best bet that will be blown to bits and pieces."

"If you boys want me to join the battle after this fling, then deal me in because I haven't forgotten about how that suicide bomber in gold armor destroyed my teahouse in Akatsuki and I'm not about to let those scum off the hook anytime soon."

"The Order's just launched an offensive against the factory in that city, but they're also cautious about going in there not being half-cocked."

"He's right about that one, man," said Styre as he was heavily concerned about the grave situation that was at hand. "That ice queen in charge is dangerous and she's not about to let go anytime soon. She wants the whole damn thing in which she would go to great lengths to creating her own personal harem full of men. She's also not gonna stop until she brings in Project Ra against the wishes of everything, do you want that crap to happen, Crowley, or are you itching to give that bitch an eternal STD in the end?"

Crowley was determined to stop the Executive Division like the rest of us as he wasn't about to let them put a damper on his habits. The lecture from Gary and Styre was more than enough to edge him forward into putting such evil cohorts who nearly killed him in their place, for he was most likely to be ready to give them more trouble than they already caused. When he saw Gary and Styre leave without a trace, he heard the door open as he saw Valerie enter in which she was most likely to be cleaning up the room he was in, but it was going down in one huge snag on the horizon.

"Didn't you get a rectal exam earlier?" she asked.

"I did, but I'm still no match for habanero here in this castle on Alecrast," said Crowley.

"He's no stranger into dealing with unruly patients, but if one crosses him to the extreme, he or she is met with his or her eyes melted out of their skull."

"You seem to have an addiction to your work just to feed your four children, Mrs. Stevenson, but your mother-in-law still insists that you prefer a man in your bed to keep you warm at night."

"I told you before, I will never marry again after what happened to my husband almost three years ago, but that doesn't stop me from moving forward while taking care of my children."

"Is that so?" Crowley uses his telekinesis on Valerie as he moved her towards him. "Hasn't it bothered you that you still feel lonely without a man in your bed? Once you have one again, you won't be as cranky as you already are, wouldn't you agree?"

It wasn't long until Valerie felt Crowley's hands touch at the large breasts under her nightgown as she was starting to feel fear crawling all over her. He never expected the resident widow still fully endowed after bearing children before as he began to touch at the nipples beneath them. She was powerless to turn away as she was no match for the former King of Hell in his moment of conquest so far. By the time he stripped her of her nightgown and bloomers, he took off his own clothes as he was ready to make his move. He was all over her as he was busy touching at her breasts in which he was taking charge into conquering the widow who stood firm by guarding against the temptation to have a man in her room.

With Valerie laying on her back, she saw Crowley on top of her as he had his member hardened up in order to take point and breach her defenses. He was aiming at her as he spread her legs open and crashed right through within her. She felt him with such intensity as she was overwhelmed by the pleasure that he was giving her. The sight of him displaying his prowess over his intended target of pleasure was more than enough to bring her to a much more erotic state of arousal the moment he gave her more than she could take. He was conquering her. He was making her want more. He was on top of things as he was giving her all on this night of pleasure.

He was giving her more than just his all as he was ready to take point into the tipping point of the upcoming climax. He was ready to pass through as he was giving her plenty with what his hot member had so far. It wasn't long until he slowed down as he spewed his livelihood inside of her as he was tired the moment he withdrew from her. Both of them were tired as they were most likely to be returning to their usual spots, for their brief tryst was done for a reason so far.

"I've never seen you do that before," said Valerie as she was exhausted.

"I often keep the sausage satisfied," said Crowley as he smiled.

"You must've kept it all in for the longest time."

"For a while, I've even stroked the kielbasa just to make some extra cash before I had my sights set on you, Mrs. Stevenson."

"I never expected to see myself succumb to anyone like that since my husband died, but this moment won't last forever in this-"

Without warning, Crowley heard the sound of footsteps spproaching as he noticed Valerie getting on her clothes and went towards the window. Opening it up, whe shimmied out of sight as Crowley dressed in his own nightclothes the moment he saw the door open up. It wasn't long until he spotted Kazuo entering into his room as he was on the warpath of hauling him into the examination room in the infirmary wing. Still, he wanted him to leave his room as he wanted some privacy for himself for once in which he was most likely to be pining for Valerie later on.

"You need to come with me, Crowley," said Kazuo as he stood firm.

"It's late, habanero," he said as he refused to budge from the futon.

"I have a bone to pick with you."

"It can wait until morning, habanero. Now, if you don't mind, I'm about to take my beauty sleep until morning."

"You've been making money by selling off your seed after your demonic grace was restored to you, didn't you?"

"I did it so I can have a slush fund if I end up dead. Everyone has a slush fund that can make Walter White look like Oscar the Grouch with a hangover."

Kazuo spotted a pair of bloomers on the floor as he picked them up. He was beginning to get suspicious about Crowley's antics as he wasn't about to let him get away with what he was trying to hide. Still, the former King of Hell was in the doghouse as he wasn't about to get away anytime soon, for he was literally screwed after all that has happened.

"You had someone here, didn't you, Crowley," said Kazuo.

"Those are mine with the frilly laces on them," he said.

"Don't lie! You wear a lot of things, but women's underwear? This isn't a yaoi move if you're trying to impress another guy, but you don't fool me one damn bit. From the look of those bloomers, they belong to Valerie Stevenson, who is struggling to make ends meet after her husband was killed three years ago. She was here earlier, wasn't she?"

"She was here, but she left."

"If she left, she would be wearing her bloomers. From the look of this situation, both you and the resident widow of Kanto Village had a brief tryst in which it ended abruptly when I came along to see what was going on."

Without warning, Crowley spotted a mechanical bird hiding in plain sight as he used his telekinesis to shatter it into pieces. He loathed those things as they were nothing more than a nuisance to those who bear a grudge against the Executive Division. It was also in the nick of time that he saw the SIM-Tron chip as he decided to pilfer it until Kazuo snatched it from his hands. Even though the former King of Hell was desperate to cover his tracks, he was no match for Kazuo altogether as he was caught in his sights so far, for the chip itself was about to be evidence of his brief tryst with Valerie earlier.

"That's my chip, habanero!" he yelled.

"Any evidence that is withheld from the Medical Corps or any other branch of the Order is an S-class felony, Crowley," said Kazuo.

"If you think that you can view the evidence featuring me all alone in my room, you're getting a lump of coal in your stocking this upcoming Christmas!"

"And you get a diamond in yours, Crowley? You couldn't get past that dream where Lucifer impaled you with a stake in the form of a candy cane!"

"Okay, I'll come clean to you, habanero! I wanted the lonely widow to be in my bed after what she's been going through and I sure as hell won't-"

"Director Mitani! There's a problem!"

Kazuo left Crowley's room as he went out into the hall where the elevator was. Stepping into it, he took it down as he was reaching the main floor. By the time he got down there, he sprinted into the main hall of the first floor as he saw several members of the Hunter Corps arriving with Valerie in tow. He never expected them to nab her for no reason, but he had no other choice but to detain her due to the suspicious activity that was conducted behind his back.

"Let me go!" she yelled.

"We caught her past curfew," said one of the Hunter Corps. "Even Chief Tamanori is in an uproar in which he is concerned about Mrs. Stevenson's behavior."

"You have no right into detaining me right now! I have my mother-in-law there with my kids, so I suggest that you let me go home before anything else happens!"

"If you think that you still have rights, but you should also think again, Valerie," said Kazuo. "You were here due to a pair of your bloomers on the floor. As for what went on between you and Crowley, that matter must be resolved at the behest of the Medical Corps."

"You have no right to detain me like that!"

"I'm not Ginryu because he's at a summit on Atreides right now. As for your own personal problems, they must be clarified before everything else hits the fan, is that clear?"

It wasn't long until Valerie was hauled back inside as there was so much explaining to do. Still, this form of humiliation would soon become a personal uproar as Crowley's object of affections would soon become caught under the microscope, for there was something more that had to be revealed soon enough…

I was up in the middle of the night as I was in my room in the Emperor's palace in Skyward City on Drakonus. Even though I had a bath earlier and dressed into my nightclothes, I was most likely to be focusing on the efforts to liberate the Drakonar region of Heigus from its oppressors as the approval would soon be reached at Emperor Wan's expense. Just as I was about to go to bed, I felt a stabbing pain in my head as I felt a vision attacking me for no reason. The sound of whistling was heard as I also heard the sounds of two babies crying, but from where? By the time I returned to reality, I ran towards the bathroom as I noticed the blood trickling down my nose. With a tissue in my hand, I wiped at my face as I felt a little queasy after what I felt earlier. By the time I left the bathroom, I saw Castiel standing in front of me as he appeared out of nowhere, for he had some grim news to tell me after what I felt earlier.

"It's late, Castiel," I said as I felt dizzy.

"There's been a problem on Alecrast," he said.

"What kind of problem?"

"A demon-Elf hybrid has been created in which the presence of demons would soon go after it due to the lineage that ties itself with a certain former King of Hell."

"Crowley… According to what Taraniel told me before the latter left, he wanted to cement a legacy if he ended up dying in battle."

"From what I know, Crowley was there in numerous fertility storage clinics in which he milked his own seed to sell just to keep himself afloat in this time of uncertainty. His last interlude came when he made love to a widowed Elven woman who lives in Kanto Village on Alecrast."

"Are you telling me that Valerie was seduced by Crowley?"

"And from that union, his seed took root into her body and created a hybrid between demon and Elf. If other angels and demons find out about this, then Valerie's life could be in jeopardy, along with her other children as well."

"Wait… I know of this vision because she'll be bearing twins due to this union with Crowley..."

"Well, he did wanted to be loved in this time of war..."

"Let's hope that Valerie's okay… She's no stranger to tragedy, but humiliation? This really is too much already for her..."

I had a gut feeling that the moment of further humiliation would soon take root as there was nothing I could do right now. As for the future situation about my next mission, I had no other choice but to stay the course towards the mission at hand, for it would soon decide the future in this ongoing war that was going on for almost a year now…

Valerie was in the infirmary wing in the castle as she was laying on an examination table. The humiliation that she endured was more than troubling as her involvement with visiting Crowley would soon come to light. By the time she saw Kazuo entering into the room she was in, he was ready to give her a stern lecture as he wasn't about to let her off the hook anytime soon. It was her future burden in the air as she was most likely to be hearing the news that would be unsettling for her in which she would never back out on, for it was what was put in stone indeed. When she saw Kazuo put on a pair of sterile rubber gloves, he was ready to do a number on her as he was most likely to be finding evidence about the tryst that Valerie had with Crowley not too long ago.

"You can't just detain me forever, Kazuo," she said. "I have a mother-in-law and my children that are waiting for me to come home, you know."

"For the record, I have every right to detain you," he said as he used his gloved fingers to probe what was between her legs. "There's evidence that laid firm in which you forgot to take a shower afterwards."

"That's none of your business but my own! You can't just go around and give a woman an unwanted gynecological exam against her wishes!"

It wasn't long until Valerie saw Kazuo dig out an ovulation meter as he placed a sterile probe cover and coated it with a water-based lubricant in which he shoved it inside of her. The meter was active as it displayed enough evidence that could prove him to be suspicious at Crowley's behavior. By the time he removed the ovulation meter, he saw it to be in the red. What he didn't expect was that the meter also read signs of an early pregnancy in the works as he was ready to let Crowley have it one way or the other in this time of crisis.

"So, what's the verdict?" asked Valerie as she was getting irritated.

"You're pregnant, Valerie," answered Kazuo.

"That's impossible! Pregnancy takes up to two weeks to fertilize after unprotected coitus occurred earlier!"

"Not with a demon's seed, it is! You carry the seed of that of a demon's in which you just put your life at risk! In the Elder Days, the birth of Lucifer's son took only five months to germinate in the form of a teenager before his mother died birthing him."

"Well, Holly insisted that I had a man to keep me warm after Daryl's death!"

"Does the name, Kelly Kline, ring a bell to you? She was an intern who worked with one of the surrogate presidents that the Isoldati issued to protect the real one in the United States from further harm or assassination and one of them was Lucifer's temporary vessel after the death of washed-up rock star, Vince Vicente in the Elder Days."

"That has nothing to do with me, but if my future unborn happens to be what you say it is, then I'll live to protect it."

"The spawn hybrids of either angel or demon are called Nephilim or Archani, which is the Rendilian word for half-demon. And another thing, there are other angels and demons who would stop at nothing to kill it because they only wanted pureborn beings in their respected realms above and below. If Milverton or Abel sense this, then they will go after it due to the lineage that connects it to Crowley and they know him very well for being a greedy tyrant in during his reign as the King of Hell. Most beings bear a grudge against him because of his reasons to play everyone's lives like pawns to a chess game. I've seen it happen before in which I was once his prisoner when he was resurrected and claimed Hell's throne during my heydays."

It wasn't long until Kazuo heard the door open up as he turned around and saw Holly storming into the room. She was determined to give him hell as she was aware of Valerie's predicament after her failed attempt to leave the castle grounds. The sight of Valerie being laid down on the examination table with her legs spread open made her more livid as she was itching to slug Kazuo for humiliating her for no reason.

"How could you do this to her?!" she yelled.

"Mother…, you should be at home," said Valerie.

"I have a bone to pick with that asshat in a white labcoat and I won't leave until I give him a damn good whacking!"

"If you did that, then you'll be incurring the wrath of the Heavenly Host," said Kazuo. "I'm one of their father's prophets and if I fall, then an archangel will smite you dead."

"First, you sic your Hunter Corps buddies on Valerie and then you humiliate her by giving her a gynecological exam for no reason!"

"Valerie's with child from the same man who keeps spying on her for a while now, even when he knew of her to be a widow just to struggle to put food on the table."

"Is this true?"

"It is, but that man isn't like any other that tried to bed me since Daryl's death."

"Wait, I've seen him before when I was taking a hunting job in Akatsuki at the time, but that man, Crowley, was hurt in the process after that suicide bomber destroyed his teahouse. And if you think that's his real name, it's different because I did some digging into his family tree during my days of being a freelance hunter. His real name is Fergus MacLeod, who is the bastard son of a witch, Rowena MacLeod, and a British noble. He lived down south until he returned to his mother's ancestral home, got married, had and lost a son, and even became a Crossroads demon in the end. He even ended up killing himself in a time pocket just to trap Lucifer in the Elder Days, but no further records surfaced until his resurrection and his return to power as the King of Hell. From the look of it, he was ousted from power, had his demonic grace siphoned from him, went into hiding for a while, got his demonic grace back, and has been hard at work storing his seed for future use. For the record, the MacLeod Clan has been extinct since the time when humans left for this basket of planets in which no further record had seen them at work. Still, there are reasons why that man's trying to make up for his vile ways because all he wants is to put a damper on the Executive Division due to their acquiring of Darbus Toller's leftovers. We're not the only ones who are wary of their presence, but we can't just ignore them. They're a lot more dangerous than the usual monsters that prowl along the dirt roads that connect Kanto Village to them, but we can't just sit by and let them destroy our dignity in the process, even when you have to carry a MacLeod seed to term."

"Holly, if this child inside me is born, then I'll give it the MacLeod surname in order to restore the once extinct clan that was lost. I never knew of what happened until now. Maybe Crowley's trying to make a dynasty to restore what he truly wanted after all."

Valerie had her reason to resolve this matter as she was most likely to be carrying the future MacLeod spawn to term. Still, she had a long way to go as there would soon be danger on the horizon in the form of angels and demons going after it. In the end of it all, she had her reasons to persist as she began to think about Crowley and what he was up to, for he wasn't off the hook just yet…
