Cogsfell Aftermath
[hr]

The streets echoed with the small sounds of tumbling debris, the theatre now reduced to a mountain of rubble. Breathing heavily, Lucrecia didn't do much when Lyssa clumsily let herself down from her embrace. Lucrecia was sure that the girl had at most some facture bones, and at worst punctured organs and internal bleeding. However, the if either were the case she certainly didn't seem to be affected by any of it. She happily started stuffing her face full of macaroons. Lucrecia would've normally lectured her about proper etiquette, but at this point she just didn't have the energy. Munching on one herself, she decided to use what little energy she had left to walk with her comrades back to the rendezvous point.  

Upon reuniting with Katherine and Leoniya, Lucrecia would take note of the scars left by the past skirmish. Leoniya seemed to have been busy repairing the tank, whilst Katherine and her dolls were patrolling the area. Looking around, the high demon they were fighting was no where to be found. No corpse or a body-shaped cinder to be found. That could mean a few things. The demon could've retreated, which was unlikely. The other scenario...

[color=9e0039]"Salute, Katherine and Madonna."[/color] She greeted her comrade and senior maid. [color=9e0039]It looks like you were able to take care of things here. Did you...capture the high demon we were all fighting earlier?"[/color] She inquired. She also made note of a peculiar man, dressed to impress, walking down the way. He didn't seem to mind that this place was literally the site of a bloodbath...

After some time, Lucrecia along with the others saw the Clemantis finally touch its way down for extraction. It seemed that today, for the most part, the mission was a success. Boarding the ship, the sight of Lyssa tackling her mother in a heartfelt embrace painted the picture of a warm reunion in Lucrecia's eyes. She made a small giggle as the scene brought a warm smile on her face. [color=9e0039]"Here you are Madonna, your pride and joy has been brought back to you safe and sound, as promised."[/color] Said the recruit. The pleasantries were abruptly cut, however, as Myrilla instantly drew the attention of all the present recruits with a snarl. 

She wasn't happy with some of the finer details of how the operation went down. Not even bothering to thank them for saving her flesh and blood, she wanted the one who drew all of the demons to their vicinity to step forward. Lucrecia wasn't the type to throw anyone under bus, but she had to admit, that was a risky move. 

[color=9e0039]"No, Madonna, I'm afraid that we weren't able to find any other survivors from Lyssa's squad. We were lucky to find her when we did. They only other survivor we managed to find was this young girl here."[/color] She answered, motioning toward the little girl from earlier, who was now clinging to Polina like an adhesive. 

[color=9e0039]"As for the details as to how all of the demons got attracted to our location. I, uh, can't say that I really remember. Ehehe..."[/color] She smiled nervous as a small blush took over her face.
