(Heh. When I saw the face in the video, I figured out Gaeta's nickname and his actual name came from. I love that guy's voice. L was the man in DN.)

Lucien didn't move but the doors shut behind Kate, pushed by his telekinesis. " What is it Kate? ' He asked without looking at her. His eyes fixed up. He didn't really want any more negativity then was already swirling around the room. He spun lightly in his chair and looked at her. " What do I owe the pleasure? " He asked as he leaned forward placing his elbows on his desk and his hands folded together. He had ruled Russia rather well, while publicly he had been rather reclusive he had lead the economy in a sky rocketing pattern by balancing their debt and proceeding to gather information on where to gather natural resources to export as well as consulting with leaders of other contries on deals on inports, the crime rate had dropped with Lucien personally taking care of those guilty of murder, and sexual offences of all kind and education funding had been more then doubled all in two months. His intelligence ade him a superb person to deal with the monetary factions of the country but still his public speaking and public appearances were limited.
Anderson leapt to the side as the Dragon's massive claw crashed down cleaving clean through the rock leaving smoldering remains. " Damn.....It's body is white hot.....like a star. " He said softly. He fired a blast of silver celestial energy but with his powers focused on the sky above him and being nearly two miles underground meant he was limited to nearly 50% of his normal power ontop of the months of torture leaving his body all but torn. He grunted as he grasped his arm a burn was apparant on the shoulder that he had recieved from getting to close to the dragon. He looked up and leapt skyward flipping upside down he landed upside down on the wall his feet grasping the wall thanks to fibers of silver energy. The dragon roared and fired a cannon of a blast of celestial energy straight up Anderson leapt to the side again as the blast melted through the miles of rock firing into the air it traveled higher and higher until it pierced the layers of the Earth's atmosphere. Anderson had fallen and was now on his knees under the light that peered through the hole in the ceiling. He gasped and looked up letting the energy from the light above fill him. Slowly his wounds began to sizzle and heal althoguh this wasn't nearly as impressive as Aimee or Roulin's healing for now it would do. He looked at the dragon and recieved his second wind. " Alright let's go I've got all night. " He said softly.

((UNS: Anya --> Japan))
Two months had flown by for Anya. Mostly because she spent a lot of that time training with Amara, Amaya, and Vincent. But also because she had pretty much managed to actually avoid Will at all costs for once. It was odd that even if she did avoid him, he didn't seem to even try or even want to bother her at all. That was what was troubling to Anya during the last two months. That was a minor concern to Anya compared to what Thomas could possibly be doing to those two people he had captured from the Fallen Pheonix team. It really pissed her off to even think about how the b*****d was treating them the last couple of months. And it really sucked that she couldn't do or say anything about changing the interrogation methods or whatever either. So to keep herself from thinking about anything that was angering her, Anya poured herself into her training. This of course helped her hone her abilities even more than they were already honed.
She had also tried Amaya's newest attempts at baking. The girl really did seem to be improving. She helped Amara with training Vincent by sparring with the kid a few times. Of course, she did occasionally get annoyed that Vincent was using her as a guinea pig for his own powers. But she hardly complained over that as she knew it couldn't be helped. It was the only way for the kid to train his powers. And of course, amidst all of this, she discussed with Amara what the plan was in order to take down Thomas. That was something Anya was now itching to do since he appeared to be basically driving both Kojiro and Raven to the death in interrogation.
At the moment, Anya was taking a break from training and leaning back against a wall, watching Vincent and Amara as they were training. She had her arms folded across her chest as she was thinking about all that had happened.

((UNS - Will))
Almost as if Will had heard him (but he really didn’t), a limousine soon pulled up beside Gaeta. The driver of the limo got out of the car. “Sir,” he called out to Gaeta as he opened the door for Gaeta, bowing in the process as a sign of respect. All the driver knew was that this was a nameless someone that Will wanted taken to the casino. A nameless someone that Will wanted treated with respect. A need to know basis. That was the same way with the messenger that Will had sent to Gaeta. Will had made sure that messenger and anything connected to it was destroyed, so the island was still most likely a secret.
Far away, William DeScythe scoffed as he moved. About damn time, Gaeta. Along the way out of the area, he passed through the training room that Anya, Amara, Vincent, and even Armand was in. The scientist was fiddling with something in his hands. Will didn’t even bother guessing what it was. He brushed directly by Anya, giving her a mischievous smile, as he ruffled her hair with his hand and passed by. He somehow whispered into her ear. ”Miss me, dear?” The Satan Owl reached the door before anyone could respond, and he sarcastically remarked, “Ja ne!*” before stalking off into the streets of Japan and to a limousine. He was not being a bad host to the UNS. They could get they wanted, and Will had given them the choice of staying at a nice hotel(which he had control over) if they wanted to because he knew some of them just didn’t like the casino.
Will would be waiting for Gaeta at the casino in his office, where Will had work he could do relating to his businesses and Japan’s welfare, not that there was much to do on his part anyway. The Light Herald would be escorted in, and Will would have arranged refreshments for him since the Satan Owl knew Gaeta’s food preferences.
((*Very informal/casual way of saying good bye.))

"Now, as you well know, I'm not really for killing people. Not if I don't have to anyway. I take that back....anyway me and Dante became miffed after a while. Although we didn't like our father, or at least I didn't, that didn't mean that they he had to be killed because he figured out the identities of The Great Four. I'd would've rather died than let people know that I was the driving force of Life. Wouldn't you?" Che looked at his son for a moment. All over his face was his reluctant answer. Che could hear him now. 'I don't think I would let people know. Not at first anyway.'
"I don't think I would let people know--Not at first anyway right? Of course now. Never immediately, but still, you'd tell them right?"
"Yes. I suppose I would."
"Okay, then we're on the same page here Roulin. Now, what ended up happening was for a long time, I took the blame for killing Dad. It was to keep Dante away from the Heralds because they would kill him on the spot. Me and Dante then fought for years and years on and off. It got to a point where I just missed my brother. Eventually, you'll miss Lucien..."
"No I won't."
"Yes you will. Like I was saying, I just wanted my brother back and so I told him about the Heralds and what had happened. I didn't include Will in this whole thing. He did order Thomas to end our dad, but Will was more like a dad to me that anyone else was. What I didn't like was that they had to live in secrecy." Che admitted. "And that is why after having our asses handed to us, we decided to form a group. Thomas went off and made...his own group. Today, it's my very own U.N.S. Thomas used his group as human shields. Sorta smart, but not really. Me and Dante on the other hand...we made a cult. The Heralds figured out and.....slaughter. I'm talking millions upon millions. You think what they did in Australia was bad? They did far worse things. All of them individually."
"That period of killing is most of The Nol Era isn't it?"
"Yep. We had many followers. So many that it took the Heralds about fifty years to find and kill them all. The greatest event was when The Heralds of Body and Mind saw things my way. They wanted to tell, but they couldn't. That's where the Giygas Pistola comes in."
"They built it to kill Thomas, Body and Mind. That's why there are three bullets...wait...how do I know that?"
Che looked at Roulin once again for a moment and hunched his shoulders. The Owl atop the desk had finally vanished. "I haven't a clue kid. I didn't tell you that and I'm sure no one else has..."
"The Tempanus Wiki...it was put in Raven's ancestry by Gale long before she died too. That's why it's in her today. You Che...you took Thomas business away from him because in it, Thomas was getting stronger...after he attacked the Heralds on August 21st, 1789, he was sealed away. Those events signaled the end of the Nol Era."
"Well now, that's an interesting power to have. But why do you have it here I don't know. Anyway kid, now that you know about the Nol Era and most, if not, all of it's events, I need to ask a favor of you."
"That is?"
"You and someone else on this planet can create bodies for people. I need you to find one piece of me somewhere and recreate my body. I know it's a tall order, but you can do it. After you do that, I'll tell you how to bring Dante back."
"Dante's dead too!" Roulin yelled as he shot up from the chair. "What the ********! Why didn't you tell me he was dead!? That's another thing that everyone has to worry about..."
"Because you'd do that. That's why I didn't tell you until just now. Now, don't worry about who's dead. You, Amara, Demios and Lucien need to live. You four NEED to live boy. In case you haven't noticed, The Nol Era is still going and only you four can stop it. Don't ask me how I know. Just know that you need to listen to me here." Che walked through the floating heads in the center of the room to Roulin and looked down into his eyes with the seriousness of a real father. "When you pass through the next door, you will be going back to Will's psyche. Find his real mind and tell him to find your body. When he does, tell him to touch it."
Roulin didn't stay for long after Che's request. He couldn't remain mad at his father. Not right now. He, along with many other people, had too much to do right now. He had to get to Will and he had to get to Will now. "Sorry for cursing at you dad. The last thing my team needs is for Dante to be dead. He was their rock you know? Like how you were to the UNS. Not that you're gone, Thomas has raped it every which way he can."
"If you follow my instructions, he'll be back. For now kid, just get out there and do your thing. I'll be here waiting for you."
"Thanks for the help Che."
"You're welcome Roulin."
The wall behind Roulin began to chip away. Behind the white that was once plastered across the wall was a doorway that led to world filled with storms which crackled with dark red lightning. This was Will's psyche. "I really don't want to go in here....oh well..." Instilled with faith now, he stepped into the blood red abyss and the door closed behind him leaving Che in his room alone once again.
(Thus ends this section. That is the Nol Era in a nutshell. This part and the others I posted.)
~~~
"Good question Demios. Thanks to Dante's web of information, we've managed to learn that the next ceiling location is, oddy enough, in motion. It's on Honshu's Shinkansen or it's bullet train. We have reason to believe that it's the engine that runs the train. We have to stop it from moving or else remove it while it's moving. The latter method just may kill someone..." As for Demios's next question, Moli didn't have an answer right away. After a moment of thinking, one arrived. "Since Anderson has gone missing, we're going to need you Demios. You can still get into UNS facilities. Artemis will be a great help as well with his ability to walk through walls and what not." Moli looked down the row at everyone else and asked, "Anymore questions?"
~~~
"Deal." Thomas said with no haste. Being a man of business and strategy, he knew that letting her see her alive friend would do anything. In their current states, they couldn't stand up to him and if they somehow managed to, he'd just call Will. "Okay Raven. I guess it's only fair that you get to see your friend seeing as how you haven't seen anything but a wet cloth for the past two days." Thomas approached the restrained girl and lifted the towel from her face. No damage had been done. The slight pruning thanks to the towel would wear off in no time. "Most people would've been blinded by the pain by now. You? You're not most people. You two." Thomas spoke to the guards after a snap of his fingers. "Get this little girl over here up. Not Raven, but this guy that can't take a wall to the face. I'm going to go get Kojiro. You're not to touch her, understand?" With orders given, Thomas proceeded out of the small, narrow room below where Tokyo Tower used to be. He knew why it was gone, but in a few more days, the Heralds and their little gun wouldn't mean anything. When Che's deck falls into Thomas's hands, many lives will be lost...

Demios looked at Moli and nodded he had figured he would be helping get into the UNS, but with Artemis it might be a little harder however he knew they'd get a way in. "If we get inside maybe I can find Armand and maybe Amara at least they'd be able to help us" He said. He wasn't sure about Amara but he was sure Armand would. He kind of wished they had more help but he figured if the group was smaller then maybe they'd be harder to notice.
Artemis frowned he didn't like the idea of busting into the UNS but with things the way they were he figured he didn't have much choice besides if things went well there would be little bloodshed. "So when do we leave" He asked. He figured that since they were going Moli probably had transportation already figured out.

(Yep the mystery of Gaeta/L's name is solved. Just thought that since that character did both and I love both shows I'd pay tribute in the name.)
L stood slowly, shoving his hands into his pockets. "A limo...rather subtle Will...I suppose i'll be leaving on a private jet then" The sarcasm was spoke to no one in particular. L stepped into the limo and just stared with the blank half-asleep grin of his. Upon arriving to the Casino L laughed. "Satan hideing out in the casino...whats next poseing as a lawyer?" The light herald yawned as he walked through the casino, giving its occupants hardley a glance. The games where chance and those that werent his sight made to easy. Entering the office L gave a wide goofy grin. "oooh sushi...Oh Will yaaa really shouldnt have..."
Flo lay on his back in bed. The UN guy Thomas was rediculously strong, killing Dante and taking Kojiro and Raven. He balled his fists in anger. To weak to have saved Celeste and to weak to help Raven and Kojiro "Damnit!" The Blue owl swung planting his knife in the ciealing for the 50th time. With a sigh he sat up, scratching his head of blue hair and throwing on a coat. The others were boung to be up and doing somethign productive, it was about tim e he did so as well.

((UNS: Anya --> Japan))
Anya was jolted out of her thoughts as Will came by her and ruffled her hair. The poison Owl flinched visibly before turning a nasty looking glare towards the Satan Owl as he made his way over towards the door. "I did not! And don't call me that!" she managed to shout as Will stepped over the threshold leaving her and the other people behind to go wherever he was going. Anya didn't care where Will was going at the moment. No way in hell did she miss Will's annoying nature for the past two months! "F***ing self-centered a**h***..." she muttered to herself, fists clenching as she tried not to punch the wall behind her.
===
((Night Owls: Kate --> Russia))
Kate didn't flinch or even blink as the door shut behind her from Lucien's telekenesis. She simply stood where she was watching Lucien with a rather blank look on her face. Her head tilted to the side at a just barely noticeable angle. "Can I not visit the very home I was once allowed to share with a man I was forced to call 'Father'?" she replied bluntly to Lucien, not budging an inch from her current position in front of the door. "All I have come to do here is check in... Make sure all is running..."Kate paused and a quick sigh escaped her at the word she was about to use, "...well... for you..." Of course she knew what Lucien's answer would be because she had kept tabs on Lucien's movements. She hadn't stopped by at all when the other UNS members had been here, but that didn't really matter to her very much that she meet them anyway.

((UNS- Will, Armand))
Gaeta had finally arrived. The Satan Owl rose from his seat to greet his very old friend as the door closed behind the Light Herald, leaving the two of them as the only ones in Will’s office. The blonde devil smirked as he picked up one of the smaller plates with sushi in response to Gaeta's goofy grin and childlike attitude. ”Of course, Gaeta. Since you had to make that long trip and all…” He smashed the plate in Gaeta’s face, smearing the rice and shrimp mixed on it all over the Light Herald’s face. Some of the seaweed didn't exactly stick though, and the sushi pieces that fell, Will caught, removed the plate and shoved them into Gaeta's mouth. Part of the plate had held ginger and wasabi, so Gaeta's face would no doubt have some nice green blob smeared on a part of his face and some wet pink ginger hanging off somewhere if it didn't fall. “You need to get off that lazy a** of yours! What the f*ck took you so long?” There was still more sushi and other food and drink in the room including seafood yakisoba (noodles with vegetables, ginger, and seafood), yakizakana (grilled fish), different types of sushi (but mostly shrimp), and … of course the bar. If Gaeta wanted anything else, Will could just call for it. “Gale wouldn’t want you to be this way in this situation.”
Besides the usual desk and room pleasantries and decorations, the office contained a bar, a grand piano, a reclining sofa area with a TV in the wall that could be doubled to view security camera shots among other things. There were probably some weapons hidden in the room as well. Whatever the case, there was a Japanese feel to the room despite the technology and modern feel. The panels were down over the windows so the two of them had complete privacy.
----
Back in the training room, Armand was indeed playing with a device, a small hacking device that he had designed. He saw and heard Will, and heard Anya's reaction. The red head sighed. "Someone hasn't changed," he mumbled. He glanced at Anya. "Hey, don't let him get to you." He smiled all of a sudden. "But that can be changed with a prank or two! How about it, Anya?"

(( I need some notices on when this stuff starts back up man!))
"Nah I am good." Aimee piped up to Moli, her tiny, underweight body was smaller than everyone else's. She looked sickly but she was still herself, except her body was more scarred than before. Her arms battered and beaten to the point of no return and her skin was still pale as before. Her long red hair fell to her lower back and curled like usual but not as happily as before. "So lets get going yeah?" She said in her noticeable French accent.

L had held up a finger as if to say wait a minute before having the plate and food shoved into his face. He stood frozen through the event till Will finally relented. Standing there blinking for a moment, L removed a hankerchief from his pocket and began cleaning off his face. "Wellll that was aboout the greating I expected...and if you must know" L tossed the hankerchief in the trash before grabbing an unsmashed and unforced piece of sushi. "I was busy choosing a succesor...I can see where everythings going. And you wouldnt be your usual jolly self if things couldnt be righted." The Gale coment had stung a bit, but evidence of that was absent on the light mans face. "Gale would not have approved of a lot of things i've done...we've done..." L took a small glass and poured some expensive looking liquor into it. 2000 years made for one hell of a resistince thus getting drunk or even tipsy was now imposible. "Sooo what is it you have planed William hmm?"

Noel had received Will's gift as she looked through it. It was a nice gesture but she knew what he meant behind it. "We'll be leaving about....now" she told Demios as limo appeared outside. "We will have to be subtle, Will runs this place literally, so there's not too much we can do without him knowing" she told them. "Since Aeon can duplicate herself, she will be assigned to every group. Is there anything else?" she asked them.
Amara stopped the training to look at Anya. Anya, Amaya...our next showdown with the opposing teams..we will strike down Thomas as well she projected to them. If you two are having any doubts let me know now...and I'll do this alone... she added.
Aaliyah looked at everyone and sighed. She would have thought that at least living a little nicer it would make things feel a little better. Some of the workers of the palace had complained on how some of the Fallen Phoenix treated them but she didn't say anything. "Hey guys the jet is ready, let's get ready to go" she said as she grabbed her bag and made here way towards the jet.

Demios looked at Noel he figured she'd probably be going with the others since invading the UNS would require them to be quick and stealthy which would require as little people as possible. He stood as he she said they'd be leaving "Alright well then those going for the invasion should get a move on then" He said. He kind of hoped Noel would go with him though since she knew Will the best however he knew he would do his best either way.

((UNS - Will - Last post for today.))
Will’s eyes narrowed as he heard Gaeta’s excuse for his delay in responding to the Satan Owl. “Usual jolly self? Hmph. I have no idea what you mean by that, Gaeta. Now, whaaaat is this about a successor now?” Of course, the blonde knew what Gaeta meant when he spoke of Gale. These were mistakes that already been made, and mistakes that were still being fixed to this day. Those mistakes could not be retracted, but the consequences from them could be lessened and remediated. They had to be.
Yes, the plan was important, and Will was one hell of a planner and improviser, but Will wanted to know about this successor. It could make a difference in the big picture. Who was he kidding? It would make a difference. And he needed to know what other Heralds could be swayed, though he could probably predict it. That would be one of L's major roles.
Will had given orders to allow the Fallen Phoenix and the Night Owls into Japan. He had said nothing about the Heralds because borders didn't matter to the Heralds. They could just go "poof" if they wanted in. He would know, and it wasn't just because he was secretly helping the Fallen Phoenix. It was as Noel knew, Japan was Will's territory. But Will wouldn't do anything to Noel's team unless they did something stupid....like attack a bullet train with tons of people on it while it was running. If he wanted them dead, their plane would have been shot down and they would have been attacked.

Lucien listened to her monotone voice before responding. " Taking a trip down memory lane? That doesn't seem like you but I suppose it wouldn't be the first time you've suprised me. " He said as he stood up from his chair. " I don't see why you cling to memories of Puten, he's gone there was no need for someone like him anymore, therefore I removed him from his seat of power and took his place. ' he said bluntly. He though for a moment then sighed to himself. " That was.....inappropriate. I suppose I have no room to talk. Dante's death is hitting me harder then I thought it would, the old man wormed his way into me like the others. He raised us all sense we all were children he was our father figure. " Lucien looked at the photo of the familyportrait the entire Night owl squad took before he betrayed them. " They were all so good.....to good, their pure hearts would blind them from the tough decisions that would need to be made. " He said softly. Ruling a nation had given him perspective. "I suppose Machiavelli got it correct, the most important part of being a ruler isn't to be feared or loved you simply can't be hated. I guess it's a lesson Thomas never learned. " He laughed lightly. " So what do I really owe the pleasure of your company? Is there something you wanted to talk about? " He asked, he truly did not believe that she simply walked in just to look around aside from that he could use his powers to see through lies.
Anderson's body burst into thick mist the silver sheen glew wildly in the new light that filled the cavern. The mist swirled around the dragon luckily there wasn't any pain in this form on that level. He could feel himself sucking the force of the dragon's spirit drawing it into his own body. He reshaped himself farther away the aura the dragon gave off had disappeared. On his body were soft glowing markigns like magical signs. As well in his left eye swirled a celestial circle with runes of tiny silver light. He raised his hand firing a beam of charged energy as it hit the dragon tearing through it's wing it roared loud enough to shake the cave bringing a section of it down. Anderson took the chance and leapt forward reaching out his hand he slammed it into the Dragon's forehead. " I am your master! " He shouted as the dragon began to glow until it's whole body was light. In a dazzeling display the body sprayed out into millinos of glowing white fibers which shot into Anderson's body filling him with a glowing presence. He landed on the ground coughing and gasping for air again as the power of the Celestial demon filled his body. The woman once again reappeared from her blackmist.
" Well done. The Celestial Heavens bestow upon you the power of their Guardian, use it wisely as your father used the King of Dios, his guardian demon, to it's fullest. Your powers have grown but do not rely on the spirit to much, it's power is tremendous, but like your father before you, you will not succumb to it's might. Now Rise Anderson Xaldin Virgils and retake what you have lost. "
Anderson clenched his hand into a tight fist feeling the new power. " I will. Ma'am what is your name? Your power it is so strange, you tested me and now I have what I sought. "
" My power? i do what others wish, I grant magnificent power for a terrible price. Don't worry about my name, this will not be the last time we speak, now go your story is waiting to begin. " She stated as Anderson nodded. His body lit up with a bright silver aura and he suddenly vanished. Stepping from the shadows a man dressed in the same black trench coat and hood stood beside the woman. " So back into the fray huh? I thought we had given up that life. "
" Consider it a gift to an old friend, Dante was a good man he wouldn't want it to end like this. " They both slowly dissolved into black mist vanishing from the cave leaving only their cryptic words to remind Anderson that they truly existed.
