Death of the Author

Keiichi tapped the feather carefully for a few moments on the pages of the book.

"Well?" Makie urged him.

"If you aren't going to use it, leave it for someone who will, Morisato-san!" Ayaka complained.

"Wait just a minute! This isn't as easy as it looks!" the young man protested before making a suffering face. "I am not Creative Enough!"

A beat.

"Is this a private joke?" Roberta asked.

"Wait, I think I have an idea!" Keiichi seemed hit by inspiration suddenly. "Once upon a time, there was a poor mechanic who wanted to but himself a state of the art Ducati 848, a vintage black beauty with excellent handle, a gem of motor craftmanship, appreciated in all best circles..."

Makie sat blinking stupidly as paragraphs of almost lustful technical explanations ensued. She was reminded of Satomi-chan. "... Yeah, but what's a Ducati?"

"A motorcycle, " Roberta said.

"Well, then why didn't he just say so?-!" Makie argued.

"Ah ha ha, just let him be..." Chao patted her back.

Keiichi's expression became grimly serious as he stopped writing. "Describing that masterpiece as only 'a motorcycle' is insulting it!"

Sora nodded firmly her agreement.

Darn heathens...

Roberta replied flatly. "As long as it's fast and works, I don't care about the brand."

"How can you say that, Roberta-san?" Keiichi countered. "Of course it's extremely important! Haven't you ever tried to repair a motorcycle? It's like healing sick children! Every case is different, and nothing can be taken lightly! You can't treat a Ducati and a Harley the same way!"

"If a vehicle breaks down on you in an emergency, just get yourself another one..." Roberta said flatly.

"Oh, yes? And where did you learn that?"

"The Guerrilla."

Keiichi's face paled and broke down. "The... Guerrilla?" he echoed weakly. Sora had just grimaced just as much.

"Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, FARC, " Roberta monotoned. "We did what we could with whatever we had at hand. Often a donkey was just as useful or more than the fanciest motorcycle."

"Donkeys are cuter than motorcycles!" Makie nodded, as if that settled everything. "Why don't you write a story about donkeys instead, Morisato-san?"

Keiichi looked at her. "... No."

Then the library's door was pushed open, and a panting Miyazaki Nodoka in skimpy black leather walked in, long phallic symbol firmly in hand.

"Miyazaki-san?" a disbelieving Ayaka blinked. "What kind of violation to basic human decency and school trip dressing protocols is that?"

Not saying a word, Nodoka stalked over to Keiichi with a dark red face, snatched the book away from his hands the way only a trained librarian used to deal with would-be book thieves can pull off, and slammed the Clow Staff down on it.

"C-Create Card!" she yelled. "I command you to return to your power confined! Create Card!"

A burst of white light came from the book, which quickly changed into a card the same size as a Pactio one, making everyone but Roberta (who simply stared on) coo in awe. Even if feigned in Chao's case.

The Card flew into Nodoka's hand. She gestured for the group. "P-Pen, please..."

Keiichi, trying hard not to stare at her, clumsily handled her a pen Chao had just pulled out of her breast pocket and passed at him.

"Th-Th-Thank you, " Nodoka stammered, writing her name on The Create. Only then, she turned around, shrieked and rushed to cover herself with some curtains. "KYAAAAAA!"

"What... What in the..." Ayaka babbled.

"Oh, hey, Nodo-chan!" Haruna stumbled into the library with a weird swagger to her steps, her clothes slightly messed up, and a chocolate cigarette in her mouth. "You took good care of things here, right? Because the constructs all vanished right when things were about to get... interesting..."

"She caught the Card, yeah, " Kero sighed. "Say, exactly what were you—"

"Fighting them, of course. What else could I have been doing?" Haruna replied.

"... Right. Just wanted to make sure..." the plush lion nodded.

"Hey, Nodo-chan, no need to cover yourself like that!" Haruna frowned while seeing Nodoka making herself a makeshift dress with the curtains. "Konoe-sama will need those, you know! And you have a beautiful body! Start getting used to showing it off, because that's what super-heroines do!"

"Can't you ever stop saying ghastly things?-!" Kero screamed on her face.

Then a grim Twilight Red and Asuna showed up at the door. "Haruna—" they chorused.

"Yeah?"

"Is that mess in the corridor yours...?" the local Asuna growled.

"Ahhh, I was just helping Nodo-chan catch a Clow Card! Those stains on the walls are only Fake Hydra Drool, I swear it!"

"... Never mind. Come with us, " Twilight sighed. "It's better if we all have you where we can keep you watched."

"I-I-I'm not showing myself in public like this!" Nodoka rooted herself in place.

"If it makes you feel better, I'll draw myself a costume just like yours!" Haruna smiled.

"No!" Nodoka said.

"And one for Makie, one for Iiincho, one for Roberta-san, one for each Asuna, one for Sora-san, one for Chao..."

"NO!" everyone screamed, but Keiichi, who was trying to see if his nose was bleeding.

"And a male version for Morisato-san..."

"NO!" everyone repeated. "JUST DRAW HER SOMETHING DECENT INSTEAD!"

A sigh. "You know, we'll need to have that attitude changed before the trip's end. Otherwise, how will we get our happy Kyoto memories...?"
What is the point anymore?

Trouble

"So, let me see if I understood this well, " Rito said, with the kind of baffled face you only can see in comedy manga. The three of them were sitting around a small portable kotatsu now. "Ren, you used to change genders whenever you sneezed. But you used to spend most of your time in girl form..."

Ren punched a wall. "Run was tricky, and always wanted to be in control! She'd always find ways to make me sneeze and turn me back!"

"That means your female side is the dominant one, isn't it?" Lala smiled brightly.

Ren made a truly horrified face. "N-NO! A-Anyway, she took advantage of that to keep me submerged through most of our childhood! So when I had to come to Earth, I asked for a trinket to keep her sealed. After all, changing genders in the middle of the street due to an ill timed sneeze would have ruined my cover."

"And why did you need to come to Earth in secrecy?" Rito distrusted.

"That's no business of yours!" Ren told him curtly.

"Ren!" Lala intervened, slamming her hands on the kotatsu. "That's a very mean thing to do! You were sent to Earth five Earthling years ago, weren't you? You've been keeping poor Run submerged into darkness all that time?"

The silver haired boy only looked aside. "H-Hey, she did it to me first..."

"Never for five years!" Lala argued.

"N-No, but..."

Lala pouted cutely. "Show me the seal."

"But Lala, I mean, Princess Lala, I—!"

"This is an imperial command!" Lala said, and although she smiled, and she said it cheerily, even Rito had the urge to show a seal he didn't have.

Ren never stood a chance, and he offered his right arm sheepishly to her. "Please don't chop it off, " he asked in a tiny voice.

Lala gave a good-naturedly giggle and patted his forearm. "Don't be silly! I'd never do such a thing!" Then, with a suddenly cold and professional attitude, she began feeling the arm up and down with her fingers. "Let's see... I think it's around here, isn't it...?"

Meanwhile, Ren gave Rito a jaded but still hostile glare. "Anyway, what were you doing with her, bringing her here?"

"Ah? Oh, well, I just... happened to run into each other..." the other boy gulped, "... and then she was being chased by two men, and so... I... I...!"

"He grabbed my tail, and we're going to marry!" Lala laughed.

Ren's eyes popped out of their sockets. "WH-WHAT?-!"

"Ah-hah!" Lala finally pinpointed an exact spot on Rito's arm. "Here it is!" She grabbed a small and round white decoration with swirly eyes on her pink hair; it turned into a sharp scalpel between her fingers, and she sank its tip into that spot. Ren gave a yelp, and jerked back.

"P-P-Princess...!"

Lala smiled impishly and caressed Ren's nose with a finger several quick times, making him blush. "Do you still have the same sensitive nose, Ren...?" she said, before blowing on it. "Fuuu..."

Against his will, Ren twitched, trying to hold himself for a moment, but then sneezed on Lala's face, just as his body, in a single moment, shrank a little under Rito's horrified eyes. His lines became softer and curvier. His hair grew longer and darker, gaining a deeper blueish shade. His chest grew puffier and rounder. His eyes wider and his lips fuller.

And then he was a very cute girl, cowering under the shocked sight of Rito. "D-DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THIS!" she begged, ducking for a pillow from the lower bunk and shielding her pretty face with it. "PRINCESS! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO THIS?-!"

"Welcome back, Run...!" Lala waved happily at her.

"So... it was... true...?" Rito's face had become even more surreal than it had been at the start of the conversation.

"I'm sorry, Rito-kun!" the strange new girl tried to look away for him, seeming incredibly awkward. "I-I never wanted you to look at me like this! My brother has keeping me down so long, but in all the time we studied together, I saw you from inside of him, and-and-and I know you're... a good boy! But you get s-scared easily, and no doubt you think I'm a monster, a freak...!"

If we still were doing the sneeze joke, Setsuna would have sneezed.

Rito, flabbergasted, only could shake his head in denial. "N-NO! I mean, of course you aren't a monster! You're only... different!"

"Even if you say that..." she lowered her head humbly, "... Of course I am one, for your species' standards. That's why my brother kept me hidden, and I'd have done the same thing to him if I could..."

Rito sweatdropped. "You aren't very fond of each other... are you?"

Lala patted her on a shoulder, which made Run shudder in disgust even though Lala didn't seem to notice it. "Ah ha ha! Don't worry! This planet will understand, sooner than later! Just look at Rito, he doesn't care!"

"Yeah. I mean, yeah, I don't!" he said.

Run sniffled. "Yeah, sure. Like anyone else will. You're just too nice, Rito-kun, but like people like the Class Rep or your girlfriend will understand..."

Lala looked at Rito's face. "Girlfriend?"

"That's what I tried telling you on our way here!" Rito despaired. "I've had a girlfriend for years now, so of course I can't marry anyone else! Much less someone I just met today!"

Lala put a finger on her mouth. "A girlfriend? I see... Well, if she was in a relationship with you, there's only one thing that can be done..."

He jumped to his feet and pointed a finger at her, growing unusually bold and ferocious. "You'll hurt Haruna-chan over my dead body!"

"Hurt?" she blinked, as if the concept was, excuse the pun, alien to her, before laughing again. "Oh, no, no! That'd be dishonorable, since I got there after her!"

Rito sweatdropped again. "Then you wouldn't have a problem with it if you had been first?" he guessed.

Instead of answering, she pulled a small device similar to a cellphone out of her clothes. "Would you happen to have a memento of her with her DNA prints?" she asked him.

"What kind of weird and pathetic no-life stalker would...?" he began, only to deflate a moment later and pull a lock of black hair out of his wallet. "Why do you want it?"

Lala hummed, placing the lock on top of the device's glowing green tactile screen. "This reads the genetic information of the subject and allows us a warp point to the location where her vital activity has been more frequent during the latest two days."

"What does that mean?" Rito asked.

"It'll transport you to wherever she's been the most during these days, " Run translated.

"Oh, thanks, that's very— EHHHH! WHY'D YOU DO SUCH A THING?-!"

"Well, " Lala began, "Obviously, we need to establish a conversation regarding our immediate future with you, " she said, grabbing him by a hand. An annoyed Run grabbed his other arm to try and pull him apart from her, but Lala's careless grip was still shockingly strong. "Like any good Deviluke royal I need to initiate negotiations with this 'Haruna-chan' before deciding on a future course of action! Also, if Rito-kun likes her, she must be a nice person to meet!"

"Wait, have you perfected that thing?-!" Run screamed. "Remember, you ditz! Last time we used it, we ended up—!"

"PYON-PYON WARP-KUN!" Lala shouted, pressing a button on the thing. "LET'S GO! WARP!-!"

And a flash of light swallowed the three of them.

An inn at Kyoto:

Ayase Yue couldn't sleep, feeling deeply troubled and creeped out. Nodoka, Haruna, Asuna and Konoka all slept around her in the darkened bedroom, but Yue knew those weren't them. It was like she had been pulled into an Invasion of the Body Snatchers. They tried to act natural, sure, but Yue had noticed, after dinner, those definitely weren't her friends. And this Nodoka didn't even have a Kero with her. They had to be duplicates like Negi's copies during the Kissing Game. For some reason, whoever had created them couldn't make a copy of Kero-san...

Yue shuddered under her blankets. This was going to be a long, long ni—

Then a flash of light filling the whole room blinded her for a moment. She cried in surprise, and immediately rubbed her eyes to regain her sight. When she could see again, a few moments after, she saw Rito-san's face. Looming right above hers.

He was fully naked.

With a fully naked pink haired girl at Yue's right, and a fully naked blue haired girl at Yue's left.

The pink haired girl looked at Yue with wide innocent eyes and asked, "Who are you? Haruna-chan?"

"..." Rito's face spasmed. "..." his eyes rolled into his head. "..." he swallowed. "...!"

The blue haired girl sighed. "Princess, it still can teleport nothing but living matter, can't it?"

Said girl only slammed a fist on a hand with an Eureka face not too unlike those of Hakase. "Ohhh! Of course! I had forgotten exactly what I had to improve upon it!"

At that point, Yue's mind started working enough to allow her to punch Rito into the ceiling. "YAAAAAHHHH!"

The boy fell down on his face, legs twitching up randomly. "N-N-N-no, nO, nO, TH-thIS ins't, isn't, what you—!"

Yue sat back up with the spring of a trained exploration librarian, grabbing the nearest thing at hand in the darkness to counter attack. It felt like a whip. It had to be a new toy of Haruna's she had bought while sight seeing. "YUUKI-SAAAAAAN!"

Then Yue heard a short choked yelp coming from the pink haired girl, just as she noticed the whip wouldn't move anymore. Mainly because it seemed to be attached to a point right above the girl's buttocks.

That girl looked down at Yue. "You tugged the tail..." she stated.

And Yue blinked. "Eh?"

Unequally, Extra Info.

A General Study on Demons and Devils in Universe 6228161

Generally, it is accepted the primal Goddess of Chaos and first of all deities, L-Sama the Lord of Nightmares, is the direct or indirect source of all gods and demons, but there is no consensus on who was the first devil or demon to ever be spawned. For the purposes of this text, we'll use the term 'devil' to refer to a particularly high level demon overlord. These roles are generally hereditary, since it's nearly unheard to have a demon of humble origins climb high into the infernal hierarchy.

The demon myths mention a particularly heinous and evil being named the First of all Fallen as the original devil/demon, but there are no solid data on his existence. The demons themselves cannot agree on if he's supposed to be still alive or not. The first devil with doccumented existence is Lucifer Morningstar, second son of the Almighty (who is Himself the first son of L-Sama), and older brother to the Norns Urd (the Past), Belldandy (the Present) and Skuld (the Future). Morningstar, originally the most powerful of all angels, rebeled against his Father and was casted out of grace, bringing several angels down with him in a way fairly well adapted into the Judeochristian doctrines. For a long while he reigned supreme as the Lord of all Demons, until recently, he abandoned his post to wander the human world and open his own nightclub at Las Vegas. That left Hell open for a major conflict of interests between the Overlords, who have established a tenuous at best agreement of co-ruling until a single major ruler is decided.

The current leader of the demonic alliance is Hildegarde Rainyday, better known as 'Hild', a devil queen with moderate tendencies. She sired her first daughter, Urd herself, with the Almighty, and then two younger daughters with a Mazoku lord or high level soldier. No one has been able to learn the actual identity of this Mazoku. Some suspect of Xellos Metallium, right hand man and prized creation of Mazoku leader Zelas Metallium, but when asked about him, he'd only say 'That's a secret'.

Mazoku are, according to most doctrines, part-genie demons whose four main Overlords, Chaotic Blue, Dark Star, Ruby Eye Shabranigudu, and Death Fog, were all born from the Lord of Nightmares herself. Under them there are five other secondary Overlords, Deep-Sea Dolphin, Dynast Grauscherra, Greater Beast Zelas Metallium, Chaos Dragon Gaav, and Hellmaster Fibrizo. Fibrizo and Gaav have been recently reported as destroyed during the Claire Bible crisis in Mundus Magicus, Mars. Deep-Sea Dolphin, self named that way due to her love for all sea creatures, is believed to have spawned the mermaid race along Greek God Poseidon.

The demon race in all its variants has spreaded through the whole universe. Hell, in this sense, is not a single place, but a collection of several sub-Hells dispersed through the galaxies, often with little communication between them. Most of those in Earth's solar system have taken residence in Venus. Other demons in the Milky Way abandoned the standard practices of soul stealing and war against Heavens after severe breeding with aliens, and established an empire of their own in a planet they named Deviluke. The current Devilukians are far more carbon based aliens than spiritual beings, although they retain demonic traits like their tails and their inhuman strenght and stamina.

Fifth Dimension Imps, who come from out of L-Sama's creation, often take the appearance of small mischievous demons, but they don't belong to any actual demon branch.

During the Dark Ages of Earth, the demon Belial sired Merlin, the most famous of all sorcerers, with a human woman. Merlin eventually captured his half brother, the infamous demon Etrigan, with a spell and binded him to treacherous Round Table knight Jason Blood, to punish them both forever for their misdeeds.

Most demons in this universe are low category brutes. Mages not afraid of dabbling in the dark arts can summon them as slaves or temporary workers, but they have been known to turn on their employers at the first chance. They generally act as Punch Clock villainous forces doing their jobs and nothing else, but they still won't hesitate to take human lives when that is part of their assignments.

For long, the wars between Heaven and hell took the lives of countless scores of demons and their counterparts, angels. However, with the arrival of Hild to power, she and the Almighty signed a treaty establishing the Duplet System, a force binding each denizen of Hell to a denizen of Heaven, and viceversa. The current terms state that, for each denizen of a realm to die, their counterpart will die as well, forcing both parts to a standstill until a better solution is found or the treaty is otherwise broken. It bears mentioning, to destroy a demon, devil, angel or god, their true astral selves must be erased; merely destroying their mortal world shells will only send them back to the spiritual planes.

Famous demon lords of note include King Krichevskoy, reportedly killed during the power struggles to fill the void left by Lucifer, leaving his son Laharl in a coma state that lasts to this day. There is also Mephisto, Lord of Lies, father of Black Heart. Mephisto's main clame to fame in the human world is serving as the real world inspiration for Goethe's Mephistopheles, but he's also responsible for the creation of the Ghost Riders, demonically powered agents who destroy competing Lords' forces in the mortal realm when Mephisto can't interfere personally. The current Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze, a stuntman who lost his soul to save his cancer-stricken father, is the first Rider to use a motor vehicle (motorcycle) instead of a horse. He was instrumental to the defeat of Gah Lak Tus in Earth five years ago.

Malebolgia, an old and bitter rival of Hild and Mephisto, employs Hellspawns for similar purposes, suiting them with living costumes granting them incredible powers. But while Hellspawns are far more powerful than Ghost Riders, they also are less stable and more prone to failure. The current Spawn is Al Simmons, an American ex-CIA agent betrayed and killed during a Black Ops mission with the Suicide Squad.

The mysterious entity known only as 'Him' is a flamboyant demon lord whose real name is rumored to scare even other devils. Not much is known about him otherwise, but he seems to be related to a demon lord named Aku who was apparently destroyed by a human warrior during the Dark Ages after long and bloody years of mismatched and uphill struggles.

Besides Krichevskoy, the Demon Wars claimed (or so it has been said) the life of Demon Overlord Xenon, leaving only his single daughter Rozalin behind. Something shortly after that caused her to lose her memory, possibly related to a seal the rival Hell Lords placed upon her powers. The Lords handed the responsibility of Rozalin's fate, which was an awkward political issue, to Hades, Greek God of the Underworld (contrary to most views of humans, demons have no claim over souls unless they are sold to them. The souls of the wicked go to Hades' domains. The souls of the truly virtuous reach Heaven. Most souls end up at Soul Society. Hades himself is no demon, although he has treated with them in the past). Wanting no part on it himself, Hades 'lent' Rozalin to a neutral ground in the mortal realm, most specifically at Tosaka's Arena in Mundus Magicus, until the Council of Overlords decides what to do about her in the long run...

Say, what is gonna eventually be Rozalin's fate? You and I both know that if she's still a gladiator by the time you hit that arc, she's gonna eat Negi alive.

Answered in the TV Tropes thread.

More Unequally. Fill-in-the-Blanks snippet. Set before Chigusa goes off the deep end with power.

Quote:
 
Entrapment

The Base next to the Lake:

Amagasaki Chigusa looked down at the Pactio card, the wand and the small white badge shaped like a wing, as she finished placing sealing wards all around them. "And so, it is done, " she said. "Are you sure these are all the magical items you found on her?"

Fasalina nodded, standing respectfully at her right. "I strip searched her myself. I also kept Miss Tsukuyomi away while I did it, as per your requests."

Chigusa nodded. "Good job. Tsukuyomi's emotional involvement with Ojou-sama has proved being quite an issue through this operation. I almost regret hiring her services."

"She still did a good job of keeping a potential obstacle entertained, however, " the other woman argued softly. "I feel sorry for her, in all honesty. Misguided as she is, she tries her very best for what she wants."

Chigusa sneered. "Forget that. This detail on her Pactio card concerns me. It has Ojou-sama's name on her, and yet she had it on herself. Furthermore, once the Age Pills she must have swallowed wore out, she proved being Ojou-sama's identical image. But in all the time I served the Association, I never knew about Ojou-sama having a sister, and I was allowed Class B information, which had to cover that..."

"Perhaps, " Fasalina pointed out, "They were letting you know far less than they wanted you think?"

Chigusa scowled, feeling offended by the very idea, but she had to admit it was plausible. "Magedom is a building built up on lies, " she grimly mused.

"Are you sure that will be enough?" Fasalina asked, changing the subject. "From what I've learned on you mages, a Magister can track their Ministra down with the proper implements. I suggest destroying all these items before..."

Chigusa shook her head. "I want to research on them on due time. I have a few theories concerning this second Ojou-sama I want to test. Relax, between this and this, " she also put on place a few small and cubical metallic devices Michael had developed during earlier researches, "They'll never be able to get readings from these unless they have Strange-sama in their ranks."

"If you say so, " the taller woman said. "So, shall we proceed with the ceremony now?"

"As soon as I'm done finishing the preparations for our... other guest. In the meanwhile, go place the gags and chokers on the Ojousamas. And, Fasalina-san..."

"Yes?"

"Don't let Tsukuyomi-han help you with that either."

"That goes without saying, Lady Amagasaki..."

Konoe Manor:

Magus Erebus closed his eyes. "It isn't working. I can feel Konoka's badge is still active, " and he looked again at his copy of her Pactio card, "And her card's still the same, so I know she's alive and well, but there's something preventing me from tracking her down. They must have placed some kind of special seal or barrier to cover their tracks."

The younger Negi sighed sadly. "It was worth trying, I suppose..."

"It can't be helped, " Calculator said. "We must plan an old style search and attack strategy, then."

"I suppose contacting the police or the JSSDF isn't an option?" Haruka asked.

"Assuming they'd ever believe us in the first place, it'd end up with everyone here either mindwiped or turned into an ermine, " Takahata said, really wishing for a cigarette now. "And such an operation could drive Amagasaki's group into more desperate actions."

"Not to mention, they have at least one Averruncus with them, " Eishun said gravely, "And if she is anything like the Lifemaker's previous creations, conventional armed forces will be completely useless against them."

"I could try contacting Superman, " Batman said, still standing back in the shadows of the room. "It might take some time to locate him, depending on what he's doing at the time, but he knows how to keep a secret... and he is on the mages' already."

Everyone in the room felt deeply tempted by the idea for a moment, before Kagurazaka asked, "Isn't Superman-sama vulnerable to magic?"

"Technically, everyone here but you and Asuna-kun is vulnerable to magic, Kagurazaka-kun, " Takahata half-smiled sadly. "And Superman should, for all intents and purposes, be able to finish almost any magic user in this world before they can finish aiming a spell. Involving him still could be difficult to explain, however..."

"Is that really any more important than Konoka's safety, though?" the local Asuna was worried enough to dare questioning him.

"No. Not really, " Takamichi admitted.

"Definitely not, " Eishun added. "Batman-sama, if you really could..."

"On it, " the Dark Knight activated a tiny device with a red button on it, which he had just pulled out of his belt.

Elsewhere:

Zee zee, zee zeeee...
rang madly through Superman's inner ear, as he was punched back through several streets long of Metropolis' pavement.

"Batman...?" he grunted as he forced him to a halt, rubbing some actual blood off his mouth with the back of a hand. "Batman, now isn't really the best moment..."

I thought you'd spend the whole day with your newfound 'cousin'... the Dark Knight's voice told him.

"Well, you know how these things are, " the Man of Steel worked back to his feet. Five other figures were approaching him down the street. "Problems ensued."

What is it this time?

"A new Revenge Squad. So far, I've seen Livewire, Hellgrammite, Silver Banshee, Kalibak and—"

"SUPERMAN BIZARRO'S BEST FRIEND! BIZARRO WANT TO GIVE SUPERMAN BIG LOVE HUG!" the large figure in red and blue marching ahead of the others shouted.

"— and, well, I guess you've just heard my favorite."

Hnh. Need some help? Batman's voice asked.

"Weren't you wrapped in a problem of your own? Besides..." he sighed as he saw a blond blur streak though the air to slam her fists on Bizarro's chest, "... I think I already have more help than I wanted here. KARA! I TOLD YOU TO STAY BACK!"

Batman cut the communication. "..."

"Wh-What did he say?" Chisame asked very warily.

"The same thing as ever. He's never available when you really need him..."

Symphony of the Vampire

When Ayaka, Makie, Sora, Keiichi, Chao and Roberta were guided back to the dinning room turned meeting room, the discussion didn't seem to have advanced that much. They seemed to have more or less agreed on a battlefield strategy, but the opinions seemed to be divided on storming the place befotre Chigusa came out in the open, to take her by surprise, or waiting until she went out of hiding and made herself an easier target. Opinions also were divided on how many of those 'Averrunci' they should expect from, ranking from two to six, and a few even suggesting it could be only one with Chigusa's group, assuming the Joker was somehow acting independently from her. Batman himself seemed to support this theory.

Evangeline, Ayaka noticed, sat antsy and squirming with her back resting against Chachamaru's side, her nose twitching every once in a while. Occasionally, she would take a hand to her throat and gag briefly, as if holding herself back from coughing or blurting something out. Until she finally couldn't take it anymore, and a verse of soulful singing escaped her.

"Pale Mo-on, Pale Mo-on, cleanses the sinners and makes them a-new..."

For some reason, her tone had a subtle, yet unnerving edge to it that made everyone stop and take notice.

Evangeline rubbed her temples. "Damn this stupid song. I was supposed to come here for a solution to this, and yet I'm no closer to a answer now than when I arrived here. It's a loss of my— Pale Mo-on—! she gave a strangled scream.

"Explanation?" Keiichi tilted wary eyes to Erebus.

The young mage rasped. "Ahem, well, she's been doing that almost ever since we arrived here... to this world, I mean. She can't stop herself no matter how much she tries to. Her dreams apparently pointed her to Kyoto, so we believe the key to this mystery must be somewhere around this city..."

Konoeko hummed softly. "In other words, what has been troubling Mc Dowell-sama might have common roots with the activities of the extremists?"

"We can't be sure of that yet, " Ayase pondered, "But... it would be a very unlikely coincidence, wouldn't it?"

"I guess so, " Asuna said. "I mean, how many strange magical going-ons may be happening around Kyoto at a single given time?"

"It would shock you to know how many, " Eishun commented.

Asuna stiffened up briefly. "Really?"

Husband and wife nodded as one.

Asuna made a face. "Okay, you should know better than anyone..."

"However, any magical event powerful enough to mess up with Eva isn't the kind of thing that can stay under the radar, " Kagurazaka lectured going into Fully Serious Leader Mode. "And since the biggest source of magical disturbance that we know of at Kyoto right now is Chigusa's group, maybe we'll find the answer as soon as we stop her."

"S-Shouldn't that motivate you enough to join the rescue effort?" a frazzled Misa asked Mc Dowell.

The vampire humphed and rested further against Chachamaru. "I'm not that desperate!"

Sweatdrops abounded.

"Well, then what are we waiting for?" Haruka asked.

"Images from our camera, for starters, " Calculator said. "I'd try to hack into their computers if I knew for sure they have them to begin with, but from what we know, Chigusa's a technophobe, and Tetch is the strictly hands on old school kind of mad scientist."

"But the sooner we find Konoka-san, the sooner we'll learn about Evangeline-san's failing, too!" Haruka pointed out. "We'll kill two birds with a stone!"

"I think you mean 'ailing', " Eva grunted. "And it isn't like I'm ill, damn you!"

"Anyway, not like we can find a solution for Eva-san's case until we, I mean you, catch those renegades, right?" Ayaka asked. "It's not like someone's going to show up at that door right now with answers..."

Chisame, Calculator, Matoi and Kuro immediately looked at the door and waited.

Ayaka frowned. "Oh, come on! That isn't funny!"

Kuro kept on looking at the door. "Huh. Normally, that kind of careless coment is a cue for a magical explanation to drop down. But I suppose it on't happen in this case. Sometimes, it just don't work that way. Well, " she sighed, moving back to the topic at hand. "As for—"

"Kuro, " Calculator interrupted her.

"Yes?"

"You realize you have just invoked it again, don't you?"

The Fuyuki Knight nodded sagely. "Yes, because I'd really like that explanation..."

And then the doors were all but kicked open.

Kuro smiled. "It works like a charm even here!"

It works like a charm everywhere. Chisame should know that, given the kind of crazies she deals with on a daily basis.
