Raphael seemed to pay no mind to his bantering companions. His gaze was focused solely on the newly arrived: part of a third party that would interfere with his mission. [b][color=silver]”I have endured many trials, whore of babylon. What is one more?”[/color][/b] If everyone was going to make fun of her appearance, might as well jump on that train with them. Such spirited companions Raphael had paired himself with. [b][color=silver]”Time is of the essence. If you have us trapped, please spring it quickly so we may finish our work that much sooner.”[/color][/b] With one hand, he pulled the massive cross-shaped mace off of his back and rested it on his shoulder. 

Out of all the possible reactions the trio could’ve had to the woman’s appearance and warning, it had to be about her [i]esper form[/i]. Noah’s initial shock earned a genuinely surprised look from her, silently glancing around them until Raphael spoke up again. But instead of being offended or whatnot…

[b]”[i]Pfft-![/i]”[/b]

She bursted out laughing. Her, and the collective of darkness. God, she loved her job. [b]”Sorry, sorry- I know I should be serious but I can’t help it!”[/b] The woman sighed, then smiled, standing up to walk along the edge of her perch. [b]”But I [i]am[/i] offering mercy here, Father. On one hand, you go after Crazy train, you’ll end up fighting the Mavericks.”[/b]

As she spoke, a red dot slowly aimed for the Walking Church.

[b]”On the other, try and save Peace Train, you’ll be going against the government themselves.”[/b]

As she spoke, an array of shadowy tentacles readied to restrain Dead Head.

[b]”But what would I know, you do seem resolute.”[/b] 

She glanced back at Raphael. [b][i]”Don’tcha?”[/i][/b] Then allowed herself to fall into the shadows.

The unseen shooter pulled the trigger, the sound of a single gunfire ringing out. But yet the bullet merely scraped by Noah, grazing her shoulder. It was less for her anyways and more a signal for everyone to strike. Though the next ones proceeding it seemed to have more killing intent. The wave of demonic shades surged. Swiftly followed by their supposed master launching herself at Raphael dead on.
