::Some time later, Maria has actually managed to fall asleep on the couch. Alicia on the other hand hasn't moved from her ever faithful staring at the phone. A nagging saying goes off in her head "A watched phone never rings"::
Astaroth: Maybe if I turn away from it... *ring ring ring* unbelievable.
::She snatches it up and places it to her ear::
Astaroth: Strauss here.
::She's relieved to hear Maxwell's voice on the other end::
Maxwell: I have some good news, and I have some bad news.
::She closes her eyes and rubs the temples of her head::
Astaroth: Hit me.
Maxwell: It's as we feared. The LPA dogs have her.
Astaroth: What?! That's terrible news! What's the good news?
Maxwell: They aren't holding her prisoner. She was "rescued" during the battle. Right now she's being held as a refugee.
Astaroth: But she's on her own! That's never happened. She's confused and uncertain and doesn't know where to find us! It's only a matter of time before she slips up and then the rebels will know everything! The Captain is going to be furious!
Maxwell: So what do you propose?
Astaroth: We move now! Mobilize every available soldier you can. We're marching on the Crest. Alert the ShinRa jets as well. We aren't taking any chances. Say it's in retalliation for the raid on our HQ. Kill every man woman and child you see and don't stop until you've found her!

"Roger that. And call Kerion, he might just take one of their higher ups while we're looking for her." ::Hangs up the phone and walks to where the remaining police are:: "Gear up everyone! Today we take the fight to the LPA!"
"But sir Maxwell, we lost nearly half our forces in one night."
"That's why I'm going to see the Regent to send out the royal guard as reinforcements." ::He turns to walk before stopping:: "And before I forget ::His voice takes a more sinister tone and looks to them with a evil glance:: leave no one alive, LPA and civilian alike! Consider it our revenge after they nearly destroyed us."

::After Yami's rescue::
::The captian looks up as Astaroth walks into the room, Yami close behind her:: "I see you found her." he said, a smile forming on his face. "Well done, this makes up for the station." ::On the desk, she sees what looks like ancient research reports, one of the papers shows a picture of a winged monster holding what appears to be a woman as a hostage. It was obvious that he was studying on something before she came in::

Astaroth: Thankfully. And it doesn't sound like she let on to anything while she was with them.
::She nears the desk to get a better look at the notes he's pouring over::
Astaroth: Sir, may I ask? It's not like you to go digging into the past.

"Sometimes its worth digging into the past, if you wish to find a future my dear." He replied. ::She catches what was written about the creature on the page::
"Zalera, Heretic scion who wrapped the world in dark energies, seeking to take the souls of all living things unto himself. Created in opposition to Emet-Selch, Angel of Truth, and scion of light. Originally tasked with the judging of men upon their deaths, his soul was tainted by the curses of those who raged against the heavens, and seizing one of the gods' servants, a shamaness, as a hostage, he rebelled against his creators. Even now, in defeat, he clutches the shamaness to him in his right arm, and with the aid of her death-wail does he summon the soul of darkness to do his bidding."

Astaroth: And how exactly is this fallen scion going to help this future you're hoping to carve?

"Zalera is mearly the begining. It's one of 13 of the Dark Scions. It's said each one had tremendous power over any element. They wreaked havoc here on Gaea before they were imprisoned in anotyher realm. But upon doing so, 13 stones were created that have served as their conduit to this world. Each stone has a symbol, except one, that has a tie to a sign of the zodiac, thus they're known as the Zodiac Stones." ::He pulls another page out and shows it to her:: "Here are the symbols of each one." ((OOC: Here's a PIC of what Zalera looks like, and this is a actual summon: images1.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/c/cc/Zalera.jpg))

Astaroth: You really think we need their aid to cull this rebellion? I know they're becoming a nuisance, but they hardly call for these measures.

"Actually Astaroth, the stones that served as their conduit were destroyed centuries ago by a warrior. These are the reason why we're causing chaos here. The stones can only be restored when there has been a sufficient amount of bloodshed and the death of one that has royal blood. These foolish terrorist have no idea they're helping in bringing about their return, nor that this whole thing has been orchistraited from the very start. Either the Regent dies by their hands or ours, we will have won reguardless."
::He looks at her for a moment::
"And I know you got a hostage for our sniper friend. Now that he is a liability, what do you have planned to cut that loose end?"

::She grins::
He's coming for her. I think I'll go somewhere secluded and face him myself. I've been a little stifled lately. This should be fun.

"I know it'll be useless to say this, but be careful. His armored clothing isn't just for protection. I wouldn't want Yami to lose her 'Big Sister' now." ::He notices a slight change before it dissapears:: That again, what could be causing it.

::In her usual arrogant manner, she smiles her red lipsticked smile::
I'll be back within the hour.
::She bows her head before turning to leave. She places her hand on the doorknob, but stops short of turning it. She laughs a low dark laugh::
It will fail. You'll fail. You will die before the end.

::His eyes now narrow after she leaves after she spoke. He also noticed the change in her eyes when she said those words:: Where have I seen that before... Must be something related to her kind.
