The battles throughout Hohenheim's laboratory were beginning to dim down with the introduction of the third round as well as the Angels of Heaven continued streak of luck.

Henry would find that two of the vats closest to him broke all of a sudden, releasing a spray of cryogenic liquid all over the corridor. In a second the liquid coagulated and formed the shape of a [url=http://orig10.deviantart.net/2cd8/f/2013/136/a/a/ice_golem_by_ejohns0338-d65g3cx.jpg][u][b]hulking creature of frigid ice[/b][/u][/url], ready to smash him to frozen bits.

Those who were left at the lobby would have to wait little before all three of the elevators returned, after being ridden of passengers on the upper floor. However, while they waited, some people seemed to have forgotten the rules of the game, despite Hohenheim having reminded them more than once. Well then, the Alchemist of Genesis was never known as a being that enjoys repeating herself, despite regarding her own voice as the most harmonious melody ever conceived.

[color=gold]"Well, well, it seems that someone is trying to be a crooked nail sticking out, huh? You think yourself smart, chunk of sentient scrap metal? Such a shame you aren't, hehehe."[/color] With a snap of her fingers Hohenheim teleported Dora away from the chamber now booming with the deafening sound of the sweeping winds summoned by the recently arrived boss, straight to one of her containment cells, safely fastened by energy shackles. [color=gold]"I hope you en joy your stay, because I know I'll, hehehe!"[/color] The Alchemist's laugh echoed through her castle as she mocked the living weapon, licking her lips at the prospect of what she could do with Dora.

[color=daa520]"So be it, then."[/color] Iona closed her eyes for a moment, taking the time to consider Shizuka's plea for her allies before letting them go. [color=daa520]"I'll accept the pleas of your ally, you are free to go under my judgment."[/color]

[color=daa520]"However, you are going to imprisoned for your interference, demon. Your judgment and condemnation for the numerous sins you have committed shall take place in the court of Heavens."[/color] With a wave of her hand Iona dispelled the illusion Fran cast over her, destroying the attacking doppelganger in the process. Before the succubus could try to resist, or even blink, she would find herself transported to the wards of Celestia, where she would wait judgment by the hands of the Divine Imperator of the Heavens, while being subjected to a long and excruciating purification ritual.

[color=daa520]"For one that lives of sins as dire as yourself, this shall be a fitting atonement."[/color] Iona's voice echoed inside of Fran's head as the archangel's chains of light shackled her to a hallowed circle, around of with other angels recited prayers and holy passages, singing the praises of Heaven. To make sure that the succubus wouldn't try anything, a chastity belt of consecrated silver, doused in Celestia's purest holy water was placed on her.

This would serve as a reminder that Iona is one of the few beings on the Nexus that takes her duty seriously.

[color=2c75ff]"Your assistance was appreciated, Commander."[/color] Was the only thing to leave Ni-Mu's lips as she was freed by Iona, immediately dashing for the starboard elevator and boarding, while none of the remainder Demons (Balrog and Gelgath) would have a chance to take it.

[center][color=9966cc][h3][b]Juno[/b][/h3][/color][/center]

[color=9966cc]"Iona is down there too. Hoho got a big party going, don't you think?"[/color] Juno replied to the recently arrived boss, which she seemed to be somewhat acquainted of, before readying her sword for the fight that was about to ensue.

[color=9966cc]"You all can go ahead, I'll keep Windy here."[/color] Juno offered herself to be the Angel's living shield, after all the faster they were done, the faster she would have that all-paid dinner Hoho promised her. Only one person needed to stay behind to fight the 'boss', after all. To deal with the tornado and allow her allies to escape safely, Juno used her powers to create a tunnel of void space, bereft of any air to be made in wind, that lead straight into the portal at the other side of the room.

It was just a matter of whether the other Angels would take it or not, now. Certainly it looked like the best choice to leave their brute behind so that everyone else could escape.
