Oh, why did he have to be right. . . Why did his assumptions have to be right at a time like this?! "F-Father Gerard that's not a good-!" The howl nearly made Aoba jump out of his skin. "Dani, please! Just relax!" But that wasn't happening any time soon. In fact, it looked like things were only getting worse. Seeing such a transformation made his eyes go wide in absolute terror. 'It's- It's still Dani. . . He's not going to hurt me. And hopefully this transformation won't try killing the priest either. '
Aoba had been a little too hopeful. Dani began to stalk forward, making the fallen angel's heart race. At the last second, something like- Aoba's mind wandered over what it was called- a deus ex machina for the priest occurred. In the matter of seconds, Dani was on the ground crying for mercy. "Dani?! What's wrong-" His eye caught something moving and he turned to see none other than Kuro making his way to them. But, why was he all bloodied!? Aoba took a moment to breathe. He was going to have some sort of panic attack or something worse happen if he kept it up. Then again, he was almost positive that the panic attack was already happening or already happened.
He relaxed long enough to hear what Kuro had to say. Father Gerard was still in a state of shock from the sudden near death experience not going as planned. Aoba's eyes went to the ground when Kuro spoke of his freedom and choices, knowing that the priest would probably say something about that. He gave Kuro a worried look before turning back to Father Gerard as the two demons walked away. It seemed he had taken the time to compose himself, but it was obvious he was a little more than upset. "Is that what you want to stick around to? That's safe? Aoba you can't possibly be serious about wanting to stay here. You have a chance to go back home. You have a chance to have a life again. But the longer you stay here, the harder it will be to help. One of those demons doesn't even treat you like a person, but a mere object- probably to be played with. The other, good intention or not, is the son of Satan himself. How long do you think it'll be before you end up meeting him too? Do you really think you'll survive something like that? Aoba, come to your senses."
Despite the calm tone he had, Aoba flinched under the hidden anger in them. The fallen angel had no idea of what to say. He was stuck. Everything that had ever been said to him about it was running through his head all at once. 'Even if I go, those angels will treat me worse than they have. . . But I don't belong here either. My life is in danger even more with them. . . But they promised to protect me.' The idea of meeting their father made him grow cold. He couldn't handle the pressure of such a huge decision. Aoba didn't know what to do, and it seemed that he was always reminded of where he was not supposed to be. These guys just wanted what was best for him, but he had no clue what that was. Despite not seeing them as much, he could only imagine his parents disapproval- did they even know about him being kicked out? All the thoughts pulling him left and right were going to kill him one day.
"Aoba-"
"I-I don't know, okay! I. . .just don't know right now. . ." The fallen angel broke out into tears and he stepped back as the priest moved forward. "Please, just-" He paused and his wings snapped open. Aoba turned and quickly flew off to the barn. He didn't know what else to do. He pulled the door closed, not bothering to lock it. The back door was still opened as well, considering the animals were still out grazing. Aoba huddled into a shaded corner and let his wings cover him. His tears were still there, but he cried silently. It felt like the first day all over again. He was alone and confused. How did he end up having the world against him? He hugged on to his legs tighter and tried to stop his crying.
The priest stood outside for a moment now alone. Eventually, he sighed and walked back to his truck. "Lord forgive me, I'm trying my best to save one of your own." He couldn't stay all day and he decided it wouldn't help Aoba if he kept prodding at him. But that didn't mean he wouldn't return. He just had to think of a way to encourage him.

And out of curiosity, if your human or nobody could make one phone call before dying (to anyone in Nowhere or the human realm) who would they call and what would the call be like?
This'll probably be tough for Jasper and Ace, poor hoomans >w<
You guys and your prompts. You can't do this and not expect me to make an AU. Luckily I didn't haha.
The silenced waned on for a moment, so Hiro let his mind wander. 'Maybe he isn't as interesting as I gave him credit. Then again, I did assume he'd have a one track warrior's mind in the beginning. Ah well, I did as I was told. Escorted him around, played nice. . . And I am officially bored. Hmph, I could always just leave him somewhere and go off back to my magic studies.' His thoughts were deterred when Akito finally spoke up. It was a request he figured would come up eventually. He was just surprised that the request was so soon. However, it did give him the perfect excuse and alibi for his disappearance with his betrothed. It wasn't wrong in Hiro's mind, after all, Akito did mention that he found comfort there.
"Of course!" The excess enthusiasm in his voice made him clear his throat and stand from his bed. "I bet my father would love to see you train. See if you 'have what it takes', and whatever else he says about it." Hiro waved the words away with his hand and led the way. His pace never rushed. He didn't want to seem too eager to go to the training grounds with Akito. That would have been suspicious. As they walked down another hall, Kaede passed the two. She bowed before the two.
"Prince Hiro. Sir Akito." She gave a warm smile before glancing down at Hiro's attire. "You know your father doesn't like when you dress like the commoners. He gives you the same speeches over and over. You should definitely try abiding by them, sir." Hiro chuckled and looked down at the kimono he was wearing and then back to Kaede.
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere besides the palace. I'm taking Akito here to the training grounds. I'll change if the circumstances call for it. Oh, Akito, this is Kaede. She is a personal servant of mine. She basically raised me until my father was able to remarry." She bowed again before Hiro nodded to dismiss her. "Back to our original destination." He nodded to Akito and lead the way once more. As they passed a few more servants, they all bowed to the two of them. Hiro didn't think much of it and continued walking, assuming Akito was at his side or at least near him. "It's not too far now." He commented on their extensive trip. The palace was large, so walking to a few places would take some time.
It was a somewhat a shame that the two had nothing to speak of on their trip. At least, Hiro couldn't think of anything to say that would be of interest. Though anything Akito said or questioned, he didn't hesitate to answer. If he was going to be living in the palace, he needed every bit of knowledge he could get. "Here we are." Hironori slid the door open and gestured for him to go inside, while he stayed at the door. In the prince's eyes, he saw nothing more than a large, plain cream colored room with padded flooring. In one corner there were bamboo swords neatly hung on the wall, low towards the ground. Mantled on the wall was a shining sword with a grey hilt. It didn't hold as much importance as the sword in his father's room, but it held some significance that Hiro never quite understood. . . Unless he forgot in midst of one of his father's 'lessons'.
"Out the door right across is the way to the training grounds outside. More space and for nice days out, such as this one." He nodded, still in the doorway. He decided not to dart off, being courteous just in case he had any more questions. . . Though, he wasn't very talkative so Hironori wasn't sure that would happen.

Awesome, it was feasible. Cap is a smart birdy that knows tricks.
And helpful explanations are helpful.
This commitment is beyond death apparently.

"There's no rush." Nani mocked and rested her head in her hands. "Me and Cap are dying of old age here. I'm tired of sitting around." Nani complained as she watched Tobi pack and pack and...well he was packing things for the trip. "We are prepared. We have weapons. Look at my poor bird! He needs the freedom! We have been here for ages!" She pointed to the bird theatrically lying on the table 'playing dead'. It went ignored unfortunately, thanks to the ringing bell on the door. Nani scratched her hatless head. Where her pirate hat was, she had no idea. It was probably with her lost ship- that Tobias still had yet to explain about. "Must be a busy day-"
Nani blinked and noticed Tobias going toward the newcomers. "I thought he told me not to wander off with strangers? Oh, look at that Captain, he knows the bunch." She stood and wandered over to see who Tobi was talking to. She fixed the plain red tank top she was wearing under her blue jacket. Before she walked off, she decided it best to grab Tobi's belongings just in case they were stolen or something- and hoping to convince him to leave already. "Oi, how rude Tobi. I don't get an introduction to your buddies?" She saluted the group and grinned. "First impressions are the most important, as I've always said," Grant it, her and Tobi's first impression might not have been the best...
"Ahoy! I'm Nani Sterling- and this is Captain, well Cap." She pointed to her shoulder when the parrot perched himself there. "Nice to meet you all." He raised a wing in greeting and then spoke as well.
"Ahoy!"
Enasi cracks a smile as Seishu returns the favor. 'Beautiful star in the night, huh? I hope you know that this 'star' of yours is dangerous. . . But, it was your idea, so. . .' As Seishu loosened his grip, Enasi looked up at him. "Be careful, please." With that, he was dropped from the his arms and to the courtyard. 'This is insane. But I'll have to deal with it, won't I?' He heard Seishu yell out 'Now' and for a split second, Enasi hesitated. But there was no time for doubt. There was no time for thought. It was all or nothing now. Everything seemed to slow down in time as he prepared himself. Enasi twisted and maneuvered to right himself up. With that motion, a sound similar to a sonic boom was heard. A bright flash emanated from where the guardian was as he hovered to the ground. It was enough to make Kaila and Tyar shield their eyes. The bright, yellow wave of energy expanded far as Enasi touched the ground, ending in another flash. From above, the flash could be seen in the shape of a four point star.
When his feet touched solid ground it took him a moment to regain his balance. The guardian immediately reconstructed his own personal barrier as Seishu came down to meet him. Behind their combined shields, Kaila and Tyar only flinched as the wave happened. The power behind such a feeble person, guardian or not, was pretty impressive. Despite his nature, the Dream Guardian could definitely pack a punch. They waited a few seconds for the energy die down some. "Tyar." The two minions nodded to each other and raced off to the side in order to make a speedy snatch. Tyar planned on going through a window, just in case their original path was blocked from escaping.

Gin's foot raised again once more, but the odd sound made him stop and turn. Before he or anyone else could question it, the wave hit them hard on impact. Some felt the waves as knives, others as hammers to the gut. As much as Gin tried to fight it, he was no match for a guardian's strength and ended up falling over with the rest of the minions in the room.
Rue felt the energy and embraced it. He smiled and let the energy seep into him before slowly pushing himself over onto his back and sitting up. 'They're here!' It was practically a breath of fresh air, receiving the energy from his guardian. It even healed up some of his injuries. A thought crept into his mind as he waited to be rescued. 'Oh goodness, they are going to be furious. . . I've ruined everything! But I didn't know what I was doing! I don't even know how I got here! Oh, please don't be too mad at me. . .'
In his own little panic, Rue didn't notice the approaching minions planning to help him.

"I really hope I didn't overdo it or anything. . ." Enasi tucked his wings in, following Seishu to the main hall entrance. He knew there was no way to avoid injuries, but he didn't want to accidentally kill one of Seishu's beloved minions. Some of them still had a chance to change and reform their ways. He didn't want to ruin that for them.

I never responded to the announcement.
Maybe we can like.... make Les have like the task of helping the queen. Considering all the breaks the crew has ends up going to chill in the castle. He could just be an NPC till then... Or they take him away tooo repair or enhance his cool robot arm.
Also, other announcement noted.

Kaede- Pudgy woman- Servant that is kind of like a mother to Hiro.
The parrot's name is not Polly- too generic. We are gonna call him Sunny short for Sunny Side Up. Haha, actually, call him Cap, short for Captain.
And Quentin can have conversations with the parrot because why not.
