As one of the summons got closed up into the dimension Selice summoned, 2 others formed from the shadows, and attacked her. The 2 attacking her attempted to restrain her.
Meanwhile a giant foot materialized out of the ceiling, and rushed down at high velocity to crush Syl and Kiel.

Kiel held Syl's hand, swiftly leaping out of the way of the foot. Syl clung to Kiel by its arm, but Kiel didn't mind. Usually weak, they were a lot stronger than they looked, and hard as hell to kill. Myzrael may have gained power beyond imagination, but once they had damn good reason to use it, he might damn well soon care that they had Azrael backing them up. If he messed with the balance of Heaven and Hell too much, he was going to have a brutal reckoning.
"You alright?" Kiel asked Syl.
Syl nodded, looking at Selice with a worried expression on its face.
"... Yeah. What... about Selice?"
"Stay behind like she says," said Kiel, "until I find a way to get us both out of here."
Kiel knelt down on the ground, a small touch screen appearing in its hands. "Almost any magic can be broken down into some sort of script," said Kiel, "as in order to function properly, it needs rules... Damn... getting these stupid shadows to go away will be difficult."
Syl cocked its head, not understanding a word Kiel said. It just knew that Kiel's 'programming' relied on cracking through the rules that governed any spell and then messing with it. No surprise that Myzrael was going to be tough to fight.
"Keep watch on Selice," he said, "only help her if she really needs it."

"Thank you, Asri.", Veronica spoke as behind her, Sara began to help herself to the sweets. Veronica rose and with a twist of her fingers, a cigarette formed. Veronica took the electronic cigarette and began smoking. Looking at Asri and Jasper, she asked, "Is there anyway to survey whats going down there?".

Jasper nodded and pulled up a screen before Veronica. It flashed to life, showing them exactly what was going on. A look of shock and horror over took the normally calm angel's face. "Asri, I need to talk to you in Selice's study, NOW" he said softly, walking towards the large room at a fast pace. ________
Meanwhile back in the realm of Animus, Selice was busy struggling with the copies. Two of them had managed to grab her, and had effectively allowed the other to copies to get several decent blows on the angel. Silvery blood dripped from her wounds, and the moment it touched the ground it sparked, canceling out tiny bit's of V's shadow as it did so. She finally managed to break free and cut one of the copies in half with her scythe, but there were still 3 left.

Asri smiled, until Veronica started smoking. He growled at her, snatching the cigarette and crushing it under his shows. "Nice work Jasper," he said, "I can sense what's going on in there due to my strong bond with Syl and Kiel, but it's vague. Perhaps... we can figure out a way to help them."
He continued to crush the cigaratte, as he scowled at her.
"Don't smoke around me if you can help it, Veronica," he said irritably, "I get sick easily, and cigarette smoke is full of nasty things that I don't want in my bloodstream. And for Heaven's sake, you have a child sitting next to you! Do you want her to get cancer and die?!"
He had to stop his rant when Jasper asked him to come with him to the study. He nodded, following the angel, looking slightly worried at what was happening. Inside though, he just hoped it would turn out well.
"Excuse me," he said to Veronica and the girl.

"It's an electronic cigarette.", Veronica growled back. "It produces water vapors, not smoke.".
With those words, Veronica materialized another electronic cigarette and took a drag as she surveyed what was going on below. She needed to find a way to reach them.
"Japser, Asri!", Veroncia called out. "I need your help.".

Jasper looked over his shoulder at Veronica. "Mics are built in, just think and it'll relay whatever you want to them" he said. Jasper held open the study door for Asri, then once both men were inside he closed and locked the door. "Asri, we have a very large problem on our hands" He said softly.
Many long moments of explaining later, Jasper handed a wrapped up package to Asri, a look of despair on his face. "Pray it doesn't come to that" he said simply, opening the door to Selice's study to allow Asri to leave.

Asri nodded, biting his lip. He wasn't all that happy with what Kasper had told him... Indeed there was more to Selice than what met the eye. He hid the package securely in his bag, hoping dearly that he would not have to use it.
Asri approached the group acting, acting as nothing happened. He scowled at Veronica when she pulled out another cigarette. Electronic or not, it irritated the hell out of him. "Don't you realize it's rude to spoke indoors?" he said irritably to her. "Now what do you need help with?"

Tommy was walking around the streets of Animus, all day something didn't feel right something he couldn't put his finger on. He was having pains in the gut and extreme headaches not knowing why. Untill he had walked a few extra blocks in a group of mindless and out of what seemed like nowhere threw up violently onto a mindless' back. Not normal bile and stomach acid but a thick black tar-like substance. Needless to say the mindless was screaming in pain, Tommy held him by a shoulder and ran a finger down the black acid. He looked at it intently, rubbing it between his finger and thumb, sizzling and searing his skin he gave a sadistic grin. It had been so long but now it was coming back to him, back on an old adventure while in Animus with the group, whom he had fought several times he recalled biting Myzrael. He had used the blood in his system to follow him and be able to teleport wherever he appointed himself. For quite some time he had lost sight and feeling in Myzrael but looking now at what was showing the taint in the new and improved Myzrael Tommy could see he was back and not a happy camper. The mindless was on the ground making small groans as he was slowly dying as Tommy walked up and stomped his foot to the centre of his back, it would be hard enough to follow this trail but with death and destruction the teleportation shouldn't be as hard. Concentrating hard Tommy closed his eyes and materialized into a purple mist. ___________________________
When Tommy appeared he came out in Animus' realm, not exactly where Myzrael was but he had been here recently. Here Tommy saw that he was not alone, there was the Angel fighting duplicates and Syl and Kiel. A sick grin crossed Tommy's deforemd face, "Well hello there children.."

"As if I needed more insects to deal with" Selice said softly. "I do not have time for the likes of you.Leave this realm if you value your meaningless life, clown" she added, slicing another copy in half then sending another crashing into a pile of ruble with her wing.

Jasper followed Asri back into the main room and watched the screen, biting his lip.

Veronica had the cigarette disappear as she looked at Asri and Jasper. "I want to go back down there, but I want to be able to control things from the vantage I'm on right now. So here's what I'm suggesting: Bring Sara and I back to Animus for a moment, and only for a moment, so can take ourselves from another point time and transport us to what's currently happening in Animus. That way, we can be there too. I've got an idea that should clear up and lapses. Once I've gotten the copies, I'll come back up here. Please trust me on this.".

Asri sighed as he watched the screen, not liking what he was seeing. Syl and Kiel standing back and trying to secure a way out. Selice fighting against the copies. And a lunatical clown. good joy, was this going to get any better?
"I can rip open a portal to Animus for you Veronica," he said, "but considering what Kiel's doing, I'd rather not accompany you."
He took out a dagger out of his bag, one that looked just like the ones Kiel usually wielded. It was a dagger used to cut open small portals. Enough to cause a rift in time and space, but small enough that reality quickly recovered from it. It was small though, and only lasted for a short time.
"Are you ready Veronica?"

"I am.", Veronica said as she took Sara's hand and stepped close to the portal. "Please, when I call to here, answer me. ". Veronica quickly gave Asri a hug before stepping into the portal. In that moment, she was whisked away to her apartment. Looking at Sara, Veronica said, "Ok, we don't have a lot of time.". Kneeling before her daughter, Veronica said, "Do you remember that time in the future, when Fleur and I came to find the church in disarray and you were there waiting for us?". Sara nodded. "Good girl. We have to go there and get you, and after that we have tome back, one month prior to this and we have to get me.". "I don't understand, Mommy.". "Neither do I, sweetie. But this is a risk we are going to have to take.". "I still don't understand.". "That's ok.", Veronica said as she pulled back Sara's hair. "There's a pattern to Animus. If we go back one month, we have the ability to jump to a point in future different that what's going on.". "Why?". "Because it has not happened yet." "How do we get future me?". "Easy. We go back nine months into the past and from there, we go get future you. In that future, there was hardly any sign of Myzrael. We'll be safe there.". "Ok." "Then we go back a month before you were born and we take me... After that, we go get Daddy.". "How.". "Leave it up to me, ok sweetie?". "Ok, now. Lets do this.". In that instant, Sara and Veronica were transported to their home, months prior to Myzrael's arrival. Here, Veronica explained to her past self of what had happened to Animus. She made no mention of Sara's inevitable birth at at grant Animus requested. Once they had Past Veronica, they slipped further in time. Back during Mr. Psycho's hold on the city, when the realm was converted into a twisted circus. Quietly, the two Veronica's and Sara followed an unsuspecting Fleur and another past Veronica through the tunnel beneath the church and directly into another point in time. It was here when Veronica and Fleur had encountered Sara; older, wiser, and at the age of 30. Once Veronica and Fleur had left. The two Veronica's and young Sara had appeared to older, powerful Sara. "What's going on here?", Sara asked, shaking as she had just sent Fleur and Veronica back. Present Veronica motioned forward before her future daughter and said, "We need you right now.". After a long explanation of Myzrael's arrival and what he had done to Animus, Older Sara agreed to accompany them to destroy him. She was from another point in time. A point where in Animus was not freed, nor discovered, and when another powerful entity controlled the city. She saw her mother's point and argument, but still, it was quite difficult for her to grasp. <***> In a moment of time, not long after Veronica and Sara returned to the city from heaven, two Veronica's and two Sara's returned. Past Veronica and Future Sara knew what to do, and they knew the consequences of Myzrael's control. Present Veronica opened up a portal. Taking Present Sara's hand as she stepped in, She looked at Past Veronica and Future Sara and said, "You know what to do and how to reach me. Good luck.". Past Veronica and Future Sara kept to themselves once Present Veronica and Present Sara slipped into the portal and vanished. They didn't know what to say to each other. "To the church.", Past Veronica said. <***> Inside the portal, Veronica and Sara slipped through moments of time and space. "Where are going now mommy?". "We're going to get your daddy.".

"I do not have time for the likes of you.Leave this realm if you value your meaningless life, clown" "Oh I see we've finally found our voice then have we? It is a shame that it isn't as angelic as we had all hoped, so full of spite this one is. Can't we just forgive and forget about past wrongs? I mean I can understand you hating me because you chose the side of evil when dear Mr. Psycho chose to re-create this shithole with a sense of imagination only an artist could have." Tommy stood proudly smiling at the angered angel.
"Look, as much as I'd love a fumble in the jungle with one such as you you're not the one I'm here to trifle with. You see I'm on the hunt for Myzrael, he passed through here of that I'm sure. But where to?" With a wave of his hand followed by purple, sparkled mist a polka dotted pink, red and blue and purple machete formed tightly in his grasp. "You see it's blood for blood," Tommy said swiping at the air calmly before bringing it to a halt pointing in front of him "and I'm ready for war.." Tommy voice was low and grisly as he secreted saliva, a mental power struggle shown in his eyes between his concious mind and the voices fighting for control over Tommy's fragile mind set.

Selice ignored his comment about joining the side of evil and instead focused on hacking away at her shadow copy. "the coward left here just minutes ago. He heads for the heavenly realm" she said softly, but even that caused tremors to rumble through the realm.
