Mat backed away slowly as he heard Kai's words. His eyes widen in fear as he felt his chest beating hard upon hearing the words. Alistair slowly walked to him as he tried to give comfort to the dragon. Catching Mat as he started to fall, he brought him close to his chest as he caressed him carefully. "What do you mean that he is your brother?.." Alistair said slowly as he held onto his friend. Kai coldly starred at the dragon as he watched the Goetia calmly, eyeing his movement sensing an odd calm attitude from the demonic creature. Crossing his arms across his chest, he continued to watch Alistair hold his brother in his arms. "I meant what I said, you're holding my little brother. Mat Borgia. 1st lieutenant of the Zealots," Kai answered the Goetia. "You got to be fucking kidding me?! I was also a member of your stupid fucking corps?!" Mat screamed out loud in frustration as he got up quickly to stare Kai right in his face. Kai quickly brought his arms down as the two starred deeply into each others eyes. Mat's heart had begun to race vividly as he starred into his brother's eyes. Seeing the golden hue within them, he sensed a strange animosity not towards him, as he noticed that he was eyeing Alistair holding the dragon. Mat immediately got up as Alistair reached for him but held his hand in front of the owl slowly. "If I'm related to you morons.. Is the entire 'Borgia' family dragons or some shit?" Mat asked. Kai slowly nodded his head as he revealed a dragon like tail flowing from his backside. His tail glistened with silver scales as it whip around him as Mat was flabbergasted by the movement of his long appendage. Alistair watched with a vivid curiosity as he cooed slightly, "Well that is definitely a dragon tail Mat." "That ain't enough.. Tell me something... that only I would have, no point in asking about what I know asshole," Mat said as he waited for Kai to answer, feeling his emotions rise intensely.
The Angel took in a huge sigh as he held his head softly. "Look... all you need to know is that we're broth-" "BULLSHIT! I DON'T BELIEVE YOU! HOW THE FUCK AM I EVEN ONE OF YOU ASSHATS!?" Mat screamed towards the Angel. Making his Goetia jump in confusion quickly. "Mat calm down, this is out of your character!" Alistair begged his draconic friend as he tried to hold Mat's shoulders. Feeling the Goetia's touch, Mat looked at him as Alistair looked calm as he smiled towards him. Mat's breathing had slowed down slowly as he kept looking back and forth to the demon and the angel. "I... I need a minute.. This doesn't make any sense," Mat said as he slowly moved away from both Alistair and Kai. Walking towards the ruined remains of Funny Town, Mat held onto his arms as he looked upon the desecrated remains of the Zealots that he and Alistair killed during their battle. Their bodies had slowly started to burn up in bright blue flames, as a side effect of being one of Daniel's Zealots. The bodies had slowly dispersed into dust as they continued to eat away at their bodies. Mat continued to walk into the broken down game arcade as Alistair was about to follow. Only for Kai to grabbed his hand as he said to him, "I know what you've been doing pal. This Riser crap needs to stop." "Said the Ironic Pot to the Obvious Kettle. Don't forget that you're a Riser now as well. So you best know your own actions before telling others what to do," Alistair said as he broke away from Kai's gripe. He walked quickly past the burning bodies, he scoured the front part of Funny Town to see where Mat had gone. Skirting through the wide destroyed entrance, he quickly looked about for any trace of his friend. He picked up the pieces of rubble to look at the remains of his favorite arcade. His heart slowly turned sadden as he clutched his chest. "It is a shame that this will never recover.. I was greatly hoping to grab that one card.. The one I needed for my collection," Alistair said out loud.
As he dropped the rubble, he kept searching for Mat. He scanned the ruins of Funny Town greatly as he found the back broom closet, the same room they interrogated the Hyena Sinner. Alistair huffed his breathe greatly as he trotted towards the back quickly, as he was about to slam the door open with his hand, he heard cries from the inside. Cries of sorrow and confusion, as the voice inside said, "This doesn't make any sense... It just doesn't.." Alistair withheld his hand quickly as he brought it to his chest. His eyes scanning the door as he slowly knelt down on his knees, placing his hand on the door as well as his feathery ear, he heard who was crying. He heard Mat sobbing his soul out as he cried out loud, "Why... How?.. I don't understand." Alistair clutched his chest harder as he felt his friend's pain. He kept listening to his friend hoping for a moment to enter, when suddenly Kai arrived as he was looking around the ruined remains of Funny Town. "Lord have mercy.. What kind of place was this sad dump?" Kai asked as he looked about. Alistair got up quickly and covered his mouth with his dual right hands. "Keep quiet! Your brother is upset," Alistair said quietly. Removing the Goetia's hand, he sneered at the demon as he responded, "You're joking right?! A demon is friends with an angel? This is pathetic." He started to move towards the door as he pushed it open to see his brother on the floor curled up crying softly. As Kai starred down to the crying dragon, he grew impatient at him as he quickly grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. "This is supposed to be the Riser Daniel fought? A sniveling crying little brat of a brother of ours?! You're a fucking Borgia for Heaven's sake! Stand with pride!" He yelled at him. His mouth grinned viciously as his canines were shown to be sharp with rage as he starred at his draconic brother. Alistair immediately intervened as he pulled Mat and Kai apart. "THAT'S ENOUGH! I expected you angels to have a superiority complex, but show some compassion to your family! Weren't you crying for vengeance for your sister Diana earlier?!" The Goetia asked as he starred upon the angel.
Sickened with his words, he clenched his teeth and blew a small breathe of disgust towards the Goetia as he turned his back against the two. Crossing his arms impatiently, Alistair starred upon the Angel as he felt his mind being filled with thoughts of rage and anger towards the Angel. "Listen here you impediment brat! You have a lot of nerve demanding such things from your brother. First off, how can you expect him to remember his past?! He has no memories of it whatsoever!" Alistair yelled angrily. Catching the Angel off guard, Kai took a small glance backwards towards the duo as he turned his head back away from them. "And secondly, what makes you think that acting like this is gonna help him get over this hurdle!? Clearly your family has bigger issues to work through if what you said about your sister being killed was true!" Alistair continued saying. Kai made a heavy sigh as he turned again towards the duo, seeing the dragon starring downward towards the floor in fear and confusion. Mat shook with a dark dread over taking him. "As far as I'm concerned.. You're no better than that pathetic Angel we just fought! You're no better than your own brother!" Alistair yelled as he took notice of Mat's frozen body. He quickly changed his tone as he went to hold onto Mat. Shushing him quietly, he tried to quell the dragon's shaken mind. "Shhhh shhhh, there there Mat. I'm here," Alistair said to him. Kai noticed how the owl was barely breaking through to the draconic being. He looked to the sides of the building as he sighed hard. "That may be... But he's still one of Heaven's Zealots. His role is more important than you think Goetia." Kai answered coldly as he kept his gaze away from the two. Alistair kept calming his friend as he answered the angel while retaining focus on Mat. "And what role is that?... Killing innocent demons? Killing more Sinners not on the day of Extermination?" "Hunting down Count Vinea," Kai answered.
Immediately catching his attention, Alistair stopped for a heavy moment. As Mat slowly noticed the owl demon's strange attitude, he tried reaching for his friend's hand as Alistair had started to stare at the Angel, Kai. "Explain yourself.." Alistair said coldly as his teal colored eyes had started to changed to a vicious jade green as he starred upon the silvery angel. Kai walked to the wall of the closet as he leaned his thin muscular body against the wall. Starring upon the ceiling, he began to spoke. "The role of the Zealots is nothing like the Exterminators.. We hunt what we want sure. And what we want is to hunt powerful Demons. Demons that are an actual threat to the balance we have been trying to preserve," Kai answered. Both the Goetia and the dragon looked confused as they starred at the angel. Mat slowly got up as he walked to Kai as he asked, "So why the fuck did you guys try to kill me and my family now?" "Simple, Daniel is fucking crazy! Ever since he fought you in the Riser armor, it's all he thinks about. He kept working on the Crucifix with a help of someone.. God only knows who that is," Kai said. Alistair held his head under his chin as he pondered Kai's words. "Did he ever tell you about the Crucifix?" the Goetia asked. The Angel responded as he shook his head, "Nope, I caught him a few times working on it. Only recently did I decided to talk to him about it. All he ever did was keep secrets.. Pretty shit about it since Sera caught wind of his plans." "What do you mean?" Mat asked.
"Right before I decided to confront him. I heard him and Sera, the High Seraphim, arguing about his pet project. Apparently she didn't like it and that she wiped her hands clean of it. But after I talked to him... It was like he didn't care anymore what happened next. All he wanted was to kill you," Kai answered as he starred his golden eyes at Mat. He scanned his draconic form up and down, seemingly disgusted by his appearance. "What? Don't like what you see?" Mat asked. Kai sneered more at him and said, "You just look... Disgusting.. How did you even become like... This? Your true form was... better looking than this." "Hey, I actually like who I am.. Bro," Mat answered as he walked up to his brother as he glared at him heavily. He grabbed him by the shirt while Kai did the same in response. The two were beginning to butt heads against one another as Alistair immediately broke the two apart. "NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR STEOREOTYPICAL NONSENSE!" Alistair yelled as he pulled them apart using his ethereal chains. Both Kai and Mat were bound against the wall by their hands and legs, with their appendages split apart as Mat immediately noticed his pants and used his tail to cover his lower regions. Both Kai and Alistair noticed his embarrassment as both the Goetia and Angel glared at him with disapproval. "Mat... Save that for your mistress.." Alistair said making the angel shake his head with disbelief. "MISTRESS?! Now you sold your soul to one of these demons!? HOW FAR HAVE YOU FALLEN!?" Kai yelled angrily. "For your information 'Bro', I didn't sell my soul! She and I have a very beneficial relationship with each other," Mat proudly said. Kai rolled his eyes as he said, "Yeah sure.. And I bet that includes you getting pegged every night?" Kai responded back as Mat immediately blushed heavily. Kai's silvery face turned into complete disgust as he looked at his brother in shame. "Oh for crying out loud! You fucking pervert! What is Owl boy your side piece?" Kai cried out loud in disgust. Alistair's face grew tired from the angel's words as he slowly walked up to him and slapped him several times grabbing the silver angel's attention and said to him, "If you're done kink shaming your brother.." "It was just the clone that one time.." Mat said softly under his breath as Kai took notice completely and was flabbergasted by his words. "We have more important matters to discuss! Now.. How in Mammon's knock off world did Daniel managed to acquire the technology to create his own Riser?" Alistair asked.
"Tsk.. Well he never said anything of the sort. Just kept responding back to this one guy.. Voice was all muffled too, like he was using a voice disguiser," Kai answered. Alistair held his hand to his chin as he pondered loudly. "This doesn't make any sense.. I was certain that I kept my project under wraps.. Did my scientist leaked information?" the Goetia asked. Mat looked at his owl friend as he asked, "Scientist? What are you talking about?" "Well you didn't expect me to fully create the Risers now did you? I made the designs but my Scientist was the one who developed the technology for them. But I will talk about that some other time," Alistair answered gleefully as he made a slight chirp of pride in his voice. As he turned his focus to Kai as he continued his interrogation. "Now this is something I must ask... Why Count Vinea? What do the Zealots want with him?" The Goetia asked. Kai's expression soon turned solemn as he answered immediately. "Simple, we have had word that he was slowly taking over smaller portions within the Rings of Hell. His group is slowly taking over the smaller districts. Normally Heaven wouldn't care.." Kai slowly retracted his words. Both Alistair and Mat noticed his expression as Kai immediately became quiet. Alistair walked closely to him as he grabbed his face and said to him, "Now, I'm not the strongest of the Goetias... But that does not mean I won't let your silence go unrecognized. NOW TALK!" As he spoke, he slowly become dark with his teal eyes becoming much more jade in color and a darkness spread around him as he was starting to frighten the silver angel with his changing appearance. His form was more demonic as his feathers became sharper with rage and death. "But Vinea is trying to directly challenge Lucifer himself. That is something we can't risk. If he manages to gain enough power to take down Lucifer.. Who knows what could happen. Heaven can't risk that and neither can he," Kai answered. Leaving both Alistair and Mat confused by his response.
"But... If Vinea is trying to challenge Lucifer, wouldn't he lose cause he's... The DEVIL?" Mat asked. Immediately, Alistair's eyes widened as he felt as if lightning had struck him heavily. The Goetia quickly walked away from the duo as they were immediately freed from the ethereal chains that were holding them to the wall. Mat was caressing his hands as he slowly walked up to the demon owl. As he was about to place his hand on him, Alistair quickly turned to him as he surprised the draconic being. Mat pulled his hand away quickly as Alistair noticed the dragon trying to help him. "I... I'm sorry Mat.. I just realized what may give him the upper hand.. But.. I need to be certain first.." Alistair said as he was walking to the Angel. Kai was readying himself as he was about to grab the Crucifix from his side. With a sudden notice, Alistair raised his hand as he quickly quelled Kai's attitude. "It appears that we both have a common enemy.. For now, I suggest a truce between us and we work together to take Count Vinea down. After all, you are apparently banished or... Fallen in this case," Alistair said as he held his hand out for Kai to reach. The silvery angel looked at hand of the Goetia as he felt his caution rising, he looked at the demon and sneered heavily. "If you think that I'm gonna shake hands with a demon... You're surely mistaken," Kai said as he turned his back to the duo. Mat took a step towards the angel as he said, "Dude.. Are you seriously this prideful? Like Al said, if Vinea is gathering forces to take over Hell, we gotta team up or at least call a truce." The dragon stepped closer to the angel as Kai turned his head to his side as he started to head towards the doorway. "Don't you walk away asshole! This is bigger than the both of us! What happens if he takes over Hell? You said it yourself that Heaven can't risk this. Doesn't your pride as a Zealot mean anything or was it just a fancy way of not giving a crap!" Mat yelled as he watched his brother continuing to walk through the ruined arcade.
As Kai got closer to the entrance, he looked through the broken remains of the games and slowly saw how destroyed they were and the electricity flying out of them. He shook his head as he kept walking away from Mat. "HEY! I'M TALKING TO YOU!" the dragon yelled. Kai stopped as he stepped outside of Funny Town. Mat managed to walk up to him as the Angel took in a heavy breathe and released a slow sigh. "Yeah.. I hear you.. And I know what I said," Kai answered. As he slowly focused his attention on the hellish red sky seeing nothing but clouds swirling in the sky, Alistair managed to catch up to the two as he saw the angel looking upwards. "I said I wouldn't shake hands with a demon... But I never said no to the truce," the angel answered as he turned his attention to the duo. Mat began to smile heavily as Alistair did the same with pride. Kai turned his head away from the two for a moment in disgust as he said, "This is bigger than some pathetic feud between Heaven and Hell. If a demon is gathering enough strength to taken on Lucifer and has the means to do it. Then we have to take him down for good. I'll agree to the truce.. Plus I.. Don't have a place to stay at.. Moment," Kai slowly held his left arm in shame as he sneered his face heavily and looked at the ground. Mat smiled greatly as he went to grab his brother heavily. Picking him up in the air, he twirled him around as the angel yelled, "PUT ME DOWN YOU DUMB FUCK!" "I knew you see it our way! And you can stay with us for the time being, plus you can tell me everything about me bro!" Mat yelled with joy in his heart. Alistair smiled greatly as he held his arms together with joy, "Now isn't this wonderful, brothers reuniting. Now all that we need is a ride back and.. Wait a moment.." The Goetia quickly went back inside as he caught glimpse of a strange sighting in Funny Town. Mat stopped swinging his brother through the air as he let him go immediately. "Thanks for nothing Sinbad," Kai angrily called his brother as the two followed the Goetia as they witnessed him tossing the ruins about crazily. One of the broken remains bonked Kai on the forehead, knocking him down immediately as Mat quickly dodged another remain flying about.
"Al! Dude, what are you doing?!" Mat asked. Kai quickly recovering from the flying debris only to be knocked down again by a flying rock. Hints of golden blood was dripping from his forehead as Kai slowly said out loud, "I.. Hate.. All of you..." "I hate you too bro.. Al what the fuck are you doing?" Mat asked his owl friend. Quickly shocking them both, Alistair gleefully cheered with an exquisite joy as he was jumping up and down like a child. "I FOUND IT! I FINALLY FOUND IT! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" Alistair yelled manically. Shocking the dragon he backed away slowly from the doorway as Kai was moving back up from the hit as he asked, "What the fuck is he- DOOF!" Kai was knocked down on the ground as Alistair was jumping with joy on the angel's body as he was holding a strange card in his hands. "I FINALLY GOT IT! THE $12,000 CARD I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR 90 YEARS! IT'S MINE AT LAST! A HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!" Alistair yelled with the makings of a madman. He began to stomp on Kai's body multiple times as the angel was making groans and yelps of pain. "Get.. OFF... ME.. BIRDBRAIN!" Kai yelled as Alistair jumped like a rabbit over the front area of Funny Town. His face showed a maniacal side as he jumped over and over the place, leaving Mat confused and distraught by his friend's actions. "I never thought I see him this happy before in my life.." Mat said as he was getting closer to Kai. With the Angel slowly getting closer to his brother, Kai was slowly recovering from his trampling as he wiped his body. "Can we leave now... I'm ready to leave this du-" as Kai was about to ask, he was trampled once more by the ecstatic Alistair as he bunny hopped all over the angel with glee.
