"...The fuck just happened?" Aegis questioned, still dizzy from being thrown. Now he was flying up and away from the Vatican and Rome with the girl and Rico. But not Ryuji. "Ah, I see... Now, was that brave or stupid of him?"

"Bit of both, I think!" Rico shouted over the roaring of the wind, "I think I can see why Misa likes him so much. Heroes get along well, I guess."

Aegis smirked and turned his attention to Ryuji's sister, "Don't worry about him. There are ways of getting him an absolute pardon from the [I]good[/I] members of the Magic Council." He explained as he revealed some papers hidden in his coat. Rico snatched them and handed them over to Aegis earlier, as they'd planned. This stuff could expose the 'dark council'...

"And if that doesn't do it," Rico chimed in, "There's always the Emiyas!"
