Simon let out a breath, and nodded "alright. Thank you, sir. Is there anything else I need to know? I should gather my supplies, and field kit" he said "it won't take me long and I can be ready to go within the hour" he said "if the others are ready to go as well" he found it interesting that he was being paired with Igor and Hax. He didn't know much about Igor, and worried that Hax would be too over confident in his abilities, even if he could easily cope with this mission. Cockiness and pride had taken down more then one exorcist and Simon would just have to be watchful to make sure that didn't happen this time.

Sighing, Hax was thinking ahead about the mission. Gufu were of no trouble to Hax, even in large numbers. The problem was, that there would be possibly more than a couple of hundred of them, in their third form. The numbers was not the issue here. It was the fact they were in the third form, able to harness more power, and the damage inflicted on them also affect the host, with a few exceptions. If it were only a few Gufu in their third form, it would be no problem also.

Their most troublesome attack, which would prevent Hax from using Infernecus's flames specifically targetted to demons, is the tornado they can generate. A few together, is fine, but more than 10 of these third form Gufus, would cause him great trouble in keeping the host alive. Demons of that caliber are not the issue, he was having with the mission, it was the lives involved. If he were to simply burn the village to the ground and the people, he could handle it with ease. However, that was not what Hax wanted to do in the first place.

"I am going back to the shop for more supplies." Hax said, walking away, "Be back in about 5."
Using a key, he went back to the store, asking the old lady, "Can I get something like a couple of cases of holy water grenades? Also on Igor Neuhaus's tab?"
"Hai hai. Again getting him to buy for you. Well, either way it is money."

Soon enough, Hax was carrying two cases of holy water grenades, it amounted to about 50 grenades. With this, he was fairly sure he could finish the first aspect of the mission. Finding the perpetrator was another thing though. He walked back into the office with the key. He then waited with Igor for Simon.

Headmaster: nothing I haven't already told you, get whatever you need before you leave I fear you will have limited support once you arrive their" Duggan said as he drank his scotch and went back to rehashing with his cigar

Lorenzo: let's just go get something to eat sis then we can worry about getting to kiddo and ren, can't think on an empty stomach as they say" Lorenzo said wanting to get his sister to try and relax even a little since people don't think clearly when they are stressed as he lead the way to the cafeteria...

Simon nodded. He went to Igor and Hax first, saying "I'll be ready in twenty minutes" He said to them, before continuing. He went to his room, gathering what supplies he had there, and then went to gather more supplies. He didn't kknow what he would need, but got what he could. He hunted up Oliva, and told her that he had to go, but that the headmaster seemed alright with making sure that the students were alright. Oliva wasn't happy about it, but agreed that he had to do it.

"Don't worry. It will be alright" He said, hoping that was true. He then hunted up Igor and Hax again, ready to go.

Cassandra sighed heavily. She didn't want to jut sit around, but she didn't see how she had a choice. She needed to figure a way out, but didn't know how. She was sure Lorenzo was going to watch her, and perhaps stop her. She sighed, but grabbed some food, sitting at a table, butwas clearly still thinking.

As soon as Simon arrived, Igor spoke up. "We will be departing shortly, using this key to get to Fallenburg." Holding up the key, he continued, "We will assess the situation and look for what is causing the problem. It may be that the problem will continue unless we find the source. Finding Lisa is of top priority. If the Gufus attack, we will need to be wary of our attacks. Do not harm the civilians. I repeat, no harm is to come to the people."

"Yeah yeah, let's go and search." Hax replied, waiting for Igor to take the lead. As Igor lead them out of the office, they continued down and opened a door with the key. Passing through, Hax followed Igor. They were just outside Fallenburg, a small village, with some urbanized structures. Dark clouds loomed the village, an ominous feeling could be felt. The group started to approach Fallenburg.

Headmaster: Duggan soon called Olivia on her cell phone since a school call would be monitored and he called Olivia to tell her "go ahead and take some vacation days and take your students on a field trip. I hear their is a spa nearby where one of your students are currently at" he said as he hung on not letting her talk as he let her know to take the students to kiddo for the funeral and to let the kids stay together as a team in case of another attack, a house divided can not stand as a famous man once said

Lorenzo: sitting down and eating Lorenzo was relaxing waiting for his sister to come up with a plan to get out of here so he could join her, Lorenzo wanted to get to their friends to but he had to be the voice of reason with them since they couldn't just leave or the teachers might think they were up to something. We were the children of a demon king as far as they think of them they could be reporting back to a demon to tell our father something or whatever. The last thing Lorenzo would do was give the faculty a reason to take them both out when Lorenzo knows that his sister wants to be an exorcist just as much as him...

Simon listened, but it was pretty much the same thing he had heard before. "Do we really have to be told not to harm civillians?" He said, not expecting an answer. He slung his gear over his shoulder, more then ready for whatever they would face, content in the knowledge that Oliva and the students would be alright.he followed the two, staying close, but far enough away so that if anything Attacked them, they all wouldn't be taken down.

Oliva sighed wearily, as the headmaster didn't give her a chance to speak. Well, she thought, better get to it. She gathered supplies, and then went to hunt up the students, soon coming across Lorenzo and Cassandra "hello guys"

Aria sat on the far end of the cafeteria, lookin around at all the other students. She could still pick out Lorenzo and Cassandra on the other side of the cafeteria. She sighed softly, eating her lunch. This day is never going to end, she thought to herself. She soon noticed Miss Olivia walk in and go over to Lorenzo and Cassandra. What did she want? Aria thought to herself, getting up. She started to head over, keeping quiet.

Oliva looked over as Aria came over, "ah good. I can tell you too" she said "I have been given permission to take the class out, and surprisingly it's near where Renn and Kiddo are. I thought this would make you happy, and it gives us a chance to train outside the academy, while we hunt up what is happening here" half truth, Oliva thought. She smiled and said "you can go pack and we can leave in a hour or two. I will see if I can find Lilly too" and with that Oliva lefty

Cassandra looked to Lorenzo, and said "are you sure about our parentage? Cause that seems like a pray answered" she chuckled at herself, and then began to eat her lunch, "we can get out, and then we can find kiddo and Ren!"

hey I know we have a normal mom at least" Lorenzo said laughing a little grinning and he quickly finished eating "well what we waiting for we need to pack up and move. no time like the present they say" Lorenzo said grinning, now that they actually had permission Lorenzo wasn't going to waste any time trying to get to kiddo and ren. Yes Lorenzo was the first one to be reluctant to go but that was if they left the school without someone to say "go and save your teammates!" Lorenzo looked to his sister "now that we CAN go their ain't nothing stopping us" Lorenzo said grinning speed walking out of the cafeteria to get to their room, Lorenzo couldn't just outright run so he chose to do the closest to it.

"Yes Miss." She said softly, nodding. They were going to leave school grounds, which made her a little nervous. She barely knew any of the other students, and worried how all of this was going to work. Just pack and finish lunch, Aria told herself, heading back to her dorm. Once she opened her door, she got out a bag, then cursed. She forgot to ask how long they will be away from the school. Oh well, she thought, getting out only two other outfits to pack. If worst came to worst, she could find a river to wash her clothes in.

Cassandra smiled, and after finishing her lunch, she headed to their room, where she gathered a pack, putting in changes of clothes, her note book, photo of her mother and the exorcist she still thought of as a father, and any other btts and pieces she thought she might need, hesitating for a moment, she headed out the room, hunting up some first aid and medical supplies, creating a small, transportable unit, and upon returning to the room, she packed it, then checked she had everything she thought she would need, zipped the pack up, slung it over her shoulder, and picked up her sheathed sword.

In the hotel room with Kiddo, Ren had cleaned up and was now lounging on the bed, the pistols that enabled him to be a draagon within easy reach, just in case of attack. He was reading a comic type book, clearly at ease, but in a way that showed he was ready to leap into action. He looked over when Kiddo spoke on the phone and said "aiming for help?"

Still at a distance from the village Fallenburg, Igor, Hax and Simon steadily made their way. The sky was pitch black, and had a very sinister feel to it. The other two could not feel it like Hax could. The enemy already knew they were there, but were not attacking. With his training from childhood, he could very very very faintly hear the words of the people. The one word they called out, "Help". Taking out his gum, Hax started to chew a new piece of gum. Before they even had the chance to reach the village, Hax called out. "It seems we are going to be invited, or we would of been attacked ages ago." Even Igor was confused by his words, leading to Hax tossed the two a spy glass each. Pointing up, "The enemy knows we were hear from the start. Either we are welcome or it's all one elaborate trap of sorts."

"Tsch. The only thing we can really do now is proceed though. Be on your guards." Igor continued to slowly lead the trio to the village. He had his summoning marks ready to bleed to release his naberius to attack. Hax continued to hold the suitcases and didn't bother with drawing his blades or his guns. He could quite easily tell that it was Lisa who was beckoning them. No demon would bother with such things, unless it was a king or very upper class demon. That of which it was unlikely.

Cassandra headed out, back to the cafeteria, figuring that would be the place where Oliva would meet them again. She sat down, dropping her things to the ground gently, relieved to be heading out. To be going to the rest of their team, and looking to protect them. It would be good to get out. She wanted that, to be out of the building for a bit.

---

Simon waved the spy glass away. "I don't need it" he said softly, softer then his normal voice, which tended to be more booming then anything else. Simon had been on his guard the whole time, hands in a position to grab his pistols as quickly as possible, even as he carried his medical supplies. He doubted there were any demons waiting to attack them, but that didn't mean he couldn't be ready to attack.

It was the whole cockiness and pride thing. Better, he knew, to be prepared then to not be. He followed along, choosing the back of the book, simply because he wanted that. And he was taller then the other two, and could shoot over their heads if need be. He wasn't worried about being attacked from behind. He periodically looked about, always ready to defend.

Ari finished packing, sighin softly to herself. "Will this be enough...?" She thought out loud, feeling it would help better. It didn't though, her worries were still there. "Whatever, I'll be fine," she shook the thoughts that bothered her, picking up her bags. "Should probably finish lunch..." She said as her stomach growled for attention. Ari tightened the straps on her bags, making sure none would fall as she left her room, heading to the cafeteria.

Lorenzo smiled as he carried his own bag and followed Cassandra back to the cafeteria to meet the teacher and head out to get to their comrades, Lorenzo could wait to get to their friends and help his friend go through this trying time and if they avoid a giant demon fight during a funeral ceremony then its even better, simply knowing that his father can rest in peace from now on.

out in fallenburg, the possessed villagers were forced to wait in ambush for the academy exorcists knowing they would be coming for them or rather Lisa their controller knew that someone would be coming for her and against their will the villagers had to defend Lisa with their lives regardless of their agony at trying to resist them

Cassandra double checked that she had everyone once again when she had finished eating, and satisfied that she had everything, looked about for Oliva. She looked over the other students, distrust evident in her face. Any of them could have sent Demons onto them. Even if that was an irrational thought, she didn't think it was unjust.

Oliva walked into the cafeteria, her own pack over her shoulder, looking over the threesome, "All ready?"

---

Simon did not hesitate to grab Igor and Hax by the arm, and pull them back, not once he pieced together what was going on. "Easy. Stop a moment. This isn't right. We need to figure out a plan. We cannot fight the villagers. I will not allow it"

Ari nodded to Ms Olivia, her sword now strapped at her side for easier access. She knew they were going someplace dangerous, she could sense it. She just wanted to be prepared. "Where exactly are we going?" Ari asked softly, keeping her expression neutral. She wouldn't admit she was scared on the inside. She glanced around slightly, noticing she wasn't the only one at unease.

As Simon went to grab Hax, Hax put up a briefcase, ending up with Simon grabbing the briefcase. "You want a plan. There. In that one about 70 Triple B Grade Concentration Holy Water Grenades. Overkill for Gifu, and won't harm the villagers." Hax continued forward, casually throwing two of them over the rocks on the right and one to the left. As they went off, screams from the Gifu could be heard as they were vanquished. "About 30 of them." He continued forward, still aware of the many in the sky and the couple of hundred lying ahead. The ones in the sky were yet to be provoked, they kept an eye on them.

Igor got pulled by Simon. Looking over at the preparation by Hax, he sighed. "Well, the holy water grenades will be helpful, and we only need to aim for the head of the Gifu. The villager's bodies are not kept from the neck down, so as long as we aim properly it will be fine." Seeing Hax casually throw some of the grenades, he was about to ask why, before hearing the screams. "Oi, wait there Hax." Igor turned to Simon, "Check out the villagers. The Holy Water from the grenades should protect them from any more possession, so we will need to recite the verse."

Hax stopped in his tracks and waited for the two to recite verses on the 30 or so villagers that were freed from the Gifu, but left unconscious from the possession.
