I'll have my post up no later than Wednesday. I'm sorry for the delay, but weekends and up to Wednesday usualy are not very days forgiving to me. I'll do it faster if I can find the time, though.
PS: I'll have 00017 transfer from a carrier, hopefully it can see action someone again on the plot.
Victoire waited until Henry joined her on sector Iota, to capture it, securing the Demons' head on the battle, for... King Ruffles! The vampire was still unaware of the attack aimed at her as she said, "Now that we hold the advantage, all we have to do is defend our territory, the battle will be ours shortly. You can have fun however you like from now on, as long as the enemy doesn't recaptures our positions. Who knows, if you play a dashing enough role, I may consider your offer for my newest pet? I just don't think that I'll be charging in ordinary currency, heh..." Victoire let out a fanged grin as she ran her claws like nails under Henry's chin, teasing him.
"Now, let me finish my job and fall back to sector Alph- GAHHH!" Victoire yelled as about half of her body vanished suddenly in a bloody mist, after Hibiki's shot hit her from behind. It was a gory display that no doubt left Henry covered in Victoire's blood and gore as the vampire clutched her side. Where she alive, Victoire would have perished instantly from the sheer shock of the brutal wound and, were she any other kind of undead, this would be but a simple inconvenience, but vampires cut a fine line between both, which only served to have Victoire enjoy a few more seconds of agonizing pain as the salt water burned her wounds.
In the end, Victoire died, doing her best not to cry from such a pain as this was the first time she had ever been so wounded in her whole life. Instead, the vampire spent her last breath cursing the Nexus and everyone on it, maybe, someone with good ears could even make up the words "... dad, mom..." among Victoire's dying speech. Nevertheless, she managed to gather her thoughts enough to set her roses around the Iota sector pillar, much like she did on the Beta sector.
Once she died for good and disappeared, Henry would notice that on Victoire's place a simple flute made of the carved femur of a siren, was left. The key to control the mighty Leviathan, the Flute of the Sirens...

At the Eta sector, the group reunited there would notice a slow but raising rumble, as if the ocean itself was shaking with an untold power. Soon enough the waters around the Eta pillar became cold, so cold that one could feel the chill all the way up to their spine and every strand of soaked hair, just before an icy eruption, like a glacial volcano, followed by a roar like that of no other beast made it clear, the Leviathan had been shook from its slumber.
The first action of the berserker beast was to grab one of the arms of Dora's arms between its jaws, with an ease that made clear how powerful the Serpent of the Abyss is. The Leviathan thrashed around wildly, causing tidal waves to reach the surface, trying to tear the warrior to pieces as its fangs kept the Dora firmly locked in a vice like grip.
Now that the Leviathan awoke, the real battle was just about to begin...
Victoire; helped Henry capture the altar at Iota sector.
Victoire; was shot by Hibiki.
Victoire; set her roses around the Iota pillar.
Victoire; died, leaving behind the Flute of the Sirens.
