Conception // We have a problem...

[adarkerangel]

*There is a pair of winged beings at the edge of a gaping hole in the ground, nothing but empty cavern beneath.

The bound_creator is covered in blood and unconscious, breathing very shallowly.

The other, Mastema, is stirring awake, but very sluggish. Though he seems to have no wounds, he appears to be just as weak as his master.

Something terrible has

[Keisuke has recently come to his senses, and it's even visibly noticible in the look in his eyes. His deathclock, if anyone can see it, has a readout of one, but the cause is unrelated to the conception. He'd be mentally beating himself up, but right now, it's not the time.

Have a Mediaharan, you guys.]

...consider this as the sart of my penance, Matsema. Now, tell me, what happened?

[There's a deep remorse in his voice, though it is masked over by urgency.]

[adarkerangel]

*Mastema coughs. The Mediarahan does restore some of the energy from the magatsuhi drain, but there's little to be done about Demiurge's blood loss.*

The...the Reason of the Third Reich...it has its sponsor.

[not_a_hypocrite]

Fuck-!

[It's exactly what he had wanted to avoid, but in that lapse of sanity had gotten sidetracked from...]

Okay. We can't change the past. We need a plan...

[adarkerangel]

We will need to search for him... We do not know where he is...

[not_a_hypocrite]

For the record, you have my full cooperation in anything we plan to do. Now, what did he summon? If it's something powerful, I doubt it will be hard to find.

[He pushes his glasses up his nose, wondering if Abel actually followed him after his escape from the clinic.]

Sorry for the edits. GOD HTML FAIL

[abelthemessiah]

Takagi, wait!

[Abel rushes after Keisuke, and finds the two heavenly beings wounded and exhausted. Without further hesitation, he rushes towards Mastema, who seems to be conscious, and Keisuke.]

My god... What has happened here...?

It's all good.

[not_a_hypocrite]

Hitler summoned a sponsor god! He can now possibly bring his Reason to fruition.

[Keisuke's tone drips with anger.]

We need to stop him, somehow. I'm sure he's attempting to knock down any opposition.

[abelthemessiah]

That's very unfortunate, Takagi.

[For all it's worth, Abel casts a Mediarahan on both Mastema and the Demiurge.]

There is no longer time for talk then. We have to destroy that evildoer before he brings ruin to us all.

[not_a_hypocrite]

We can't just throw ourselves at him, considering how he injured both of them. What other Reasons are out there?

[adarkerangel]

None, as far as I know...thank you. *The second Mediarahan restores more of Mastema's energy. He lifts his master by the underarms.* ...Would either of you help me? He needs to be taken to our sanctuary.

[abelthemessiah]

[Abel follows Mastema's lead and lifts the Demiurge by the underarms.]

This cannot be forgiven. Hitler will pay, and when he does, he will die.

[adarkerangel]

*He doesn't need more support from there....* If you could lift His legs instead... If His lower half drags, it could injure His two lower pairs of wings.

[not_a_hypocrite]

I will.

[He seems to be thinking.]

...if there are no other Reason-bearers, I will form one, in which the Mall is reverted to normal, with absolutely no changes made.

[It's a far cry from his previous actions, though he seems sincere.]

...I need the practice, anyway. In such a case, I would serve as a distraction to Hitler, as an opposing force attacks him.

[He seems to be thinking this through further...]

...though I need Magatushi, and I object to the idea of killing or stealing from bystanders for it... Any ideas?

[abelthemessiah]

[Abel nods and proceeds to do as Mastema had said.]

Do you honestly think he will make it...?

[As a response to Keisuke's words... Abel nodded slightly.]

If your Reason is something that would bring law and order to a destroyed world, then you have my help. With a sponsor demon by your side, we will easily overpower Hitler, and we can truimph.

Mastema, where is the source of Magatushi?

[not_a_hypocrite]

I'm sure Asherah can do something.

[Keisuke aids Abel in lifting the legs, but choses to awkwardlt lift facing the other way, to look out for debris and bad footing.]

...there are drums of Magatushi being sold. I hope the price isn't inflated too much...

[abelthemessiah]

...Asherah?

[Abel is very uneasy about the impending alliance with the demons, but if they had no other choice...]

I'm sorry I can't help you in that department. I do not have any cash or Macca with me.
