Inside the long halls of the Holy exorcist quarters, exorcists armed with guns shoot down earth demons. Clouds of dust rise in front of exorcists. Amaimon's voice comes out from the cloud.


"I can feel..." Amaimon appeared out of the cloud of dust with lizard like features while riding on top of a giant Hobgoblin. "The smell of Rin Okumura."

The Exorcists shoot at them but the bullets didn't even seem to bother either of them. "That way, huh?"

Amaimon then looked down a little surprised. Arthur was standing below in front of the giant demon. The exorcists stop shooting. Shura runs into the battlefield behind Arthur.

"Ladies should stay back."

"Shut up, you idiot! Baldy!" Shura exclaimed.

"Caliburn, give me strength." Arthur said grasping the hilt of his sword.

"Ooh Mister Arthur, you're so violent~" The holy sword chirped. He unsheathed her and ran into battle just as Shura was unlocking her sword's ability with her blood.

"Kirigakure Demon Sword Technique: Slither! SnakeFang!" She slashed her sword. Arthur and Shura destroyed the Behemoth with ease. Amaimon did not look happy.

"My... My Behemoth!" He screeched as if he was having a temper tantrum.

The ground shook and rocked the whole building. Pieces of rock flew to the Demon Prince. The people of the Grigori voiced concerned as the building shook. In the golden court room was a giant blue crystal containing Rin. The door exploded and Shura and Arthur came tumbling out into the court room, weak and injured. Amaimon crawled in now in the eye of a giant rock demon in his image. He had his eyes set on Rin.

"There you are!" He exclaimed laughing.

He reached for Rin but a barrier on the ground zapped him and prevented him from going further. Amaimon however found a way around it by slamming his fist into the ground shattering the floor and the barrier. The crystal Rin was inside lost its glow and fell shattering and setting him free. Rin is limp on the ground helpless. Mephisto had a smirk on his face.

"The time for voting is almost over! Please decide whether you're for or against!" He exclaimed smiling.

"You... heeded the summons because you KNEW this would happen?" Arthur accused holding his injured arm. "You knew that the son of Satan would lure an army of demons here!"

"Oh? What are you talking about?" He said innocently. "By the way, instead of thinking up schemes shouldn't you be ensuring the Grigori's safety?"

Amaimon picked Rin up in his giant hands. It made the boy look like a tiny doll in his hands.

"I'm here to settle things with you, Rin Okumura!" The demon starts to squeeze him. A bullet however shatters the hand Rin was held in causing him to fall to the ground like a rag doll. A sniper was shooting at Amaimon.

"You're pissing me off!" He yelled summoning a giant rock that crushed the area where the sniper was. "Could you all just shut the hell up? Don't worry, you'll get your turn when I start killing you one by one!"

"Sir Pheles, I don't care how, just get rid of that demon!" One of the head people of the Grigori ordered.

"As you command!" Mephisto bowed. He clicked his fingers. At that very moment Bon ran in.

"Okumura!" He yelled holding Kurikara, fully repaired. "How long are you going to sleep? Wake up already!"

Rin flinches a little.
