Walking through the darkness, "I bet James got caught...I hope the devil's assistant keeps them at bay long enough..." Christian says to himself.

He ran around till he could no longer huff to a halt jogging till he comes across Clarence and Steel hanging above him, "Steel! Clarence!"

"Let them sleep..." Quinn says, "We will kill anyone who disturbs them!"

"Oh wait...you are conscious above too it seems..." Quella questions pressing her fingers to her face slightly confused.

Christian holds his eye with the sigil, it blazes in pain as the Devil's Assistant uses his body, "Let me guess...it uses a lot of energy." Quinn laughs.

"Excuse me, ladies, I am not here to fight!" Christian shouts vaulting over them running, but they fade in front of him with their weapons in hand.

He backs away stepping gradually, "Where could you possibly go?"

Christian squats down concentrating on his eye having it blocked with his other hand, he waves shortly after vanishing.

He is propelled to a new spot, standing in front of a large empty seat he finds Alex.

Shaking him, Alex sits up; his arms cling around his waist, "Are you, okay Master?"

"Alice..." Alex spouts dizzily teetering in his hand, "Beautiful..."

He only cringed facially, "Avic really did a number on you..."

Alex crawls up on his knees attempting to steal a kiss from Christian, he pushes him back, "Hey man, I know I know you are under a spell, but I am not a woman!"

His hollow eyes follow Christian, "Have I done something wrong?"

"It's time to send you back okay?" Christian declares touching his eye with the eye sigil before settling his palm on Alex's chest.

Using all the power the Devil's Assistant allotted him to bring him to his senses, Christian bows down weakly into Alex's knees as he comes to, "Christian, where am I?"

"Get back to your body idiot master!" Christian chimes, "You need to do it now!"

Alex clutches Christians' hands, his body bit by bit evaporates into the air.

The twins catch up as Christian's body is steadily ebbing away, Alex stands up looking around noticing the twins.

"Oh no...Mistress Avic will be angry with us!" Quinn shouts, "Quill!"

"You kept me here the whole time?" Alex inquires, "Well answer!"

"It was our Mistress's order!"

"I am going you can't stop this time! Bye-bye!" Alex says taking the ability Christian left utilizing it to leave back to his sleeping body.

Trinity was resting petting Alex's hand with her eyes closed humming an old-fashioned tune, just when Alex's fingers start to move, trembling moving them to his mouth.

He lets out several coughs, Trinity leaps to her feet checking on Alex in the process of waking, "Alex...please tell me you really awake!"

"Please...tell...me where Christian is!" Alex asks hacking, "He awakened me!"

"You need to take it easy, you just woke from a powerful spell..."

"We have no time for that Lady Trinity!" Alex argues, his eyes bloodshot despite having been sleeping the whole time.

Trying to sit up he becomes lightheaded, leaning against Trinity's shoulder.

"I must go now then if you insist Master Alex."

"Lady Trinity?"

"The sword's last mission is usually the worst...I must protect you at all costs."

"I see...thank you for everything you have done for me, Lady Trinity."

"I will see you out there, your book is under the bed," Trinity says walking out the room after she helps him off the bed.

Alex retrieves his book stuffing it under his arm walking out with it realizing how tired he still felt, reclining against the wall he shuts his eyes momentarily.

"Looks like you are getting tired Devils Assistant, perhaps you need to sleep!" Dominique could be heard shouting from outside the door.

His eyes open, "Christian isn't going to last long if I don't help..."

A whirlwind stops him from going any further, Alice is practically running on the walls making it down the hall, something prompted her from her slumber.

Alice pins Alex against the wall, he drops his book on the ground; he is stunned.

"Alice...?" Alex asks, gazing into her eyes unfeeling, she punches him in the gut paralyzing his movement, strong enough to pick him up.

Chara grabs his book from the ground giggling, "Mistress Alice, looks like we got his book." she adds shaking it back it forth in her hands.

"He doesn't realize he is trapped like a rat in this hell hole," Alice replies.

"Now what did Lady Avic say we could do with him now?" Chara responds, the twins arrive.

"Put him down this instant, you underlings!" Quella yells, "Right now!"

Alice gently sits him on the ground, Quella points her weapon at Alex's back.

"Get moving right now!" Quinn demands, "Or would you prefer these lovely ladies?"

Alex does as he says trailing behind Quinn and Quella to see Avic and Christian at each other's throats, Dominique for the first time in his life has the look of confusion on his face.

"Mistress Avic...Master Dominique, I have brought to you, Alex." Quinn and Quella say together bowing humbly.

"Naughty Devil's Assistant has Christian distract me it seems."

"So you are a stupid demon after all Avic!" Christian cackled to himself out loud.

"How dare you insult me!"

"I didn't need to, now what can I do to obtain my master back?"
