Of course Alice would want to come. This would be dangerous, Paris was a chaotic warzone. "It'll be dangerous, Alice. There's no guarantee we'll all survive this." Sonata said with an exasperated expression. "Are you sure about this?" It was clear Alice would insist on going, no matter what any of them said. The fae child did not understand that angels could not stay on Earth indefinitely. They would always have to return to the sky where they belonged. "Yes. I have to return to my Queen's side." They had to go, but they would finish their job here first. Would it hurt to be separated? Of course it would, but that didn't change the fact that they had no choice. They did not belong here - they needed to return to Heaven.
The carriage ride was swift and it wasn't long until they were met by an enemy attack. Ophelia kept a tight hold on Alice and her tails moved quickly to protect the child in case anything dangerous had to happen. Echo and Christopher were the culprits and Sonata's face twisted in surprise as she held Calciferous back from fighting back. Echo revealed that Doll forced her to join the fight, and Christopher asked whose side they were on. "My brother and I need to find Messiah." If there was ever a time to defeat him, now, in the middle of the chaos and the fighting, would be the best time to do so. "I must have his head." Her crimson eyes narrowed dangerously, and Laertes nodded. "We'll help with Pierce first, of course." He sported a friendly grin. "But we have a mission our Queen gave us." There was no longer a need to masquerade as demons, they both wore their angel wings and double ringed halos proudly.
The pair decided to lead them towards what would hopefully be where Pierce was staying. "Why are you helping us, Dad?" Sonata asked, looking towards her father's strong back. "Wasn't Baron Pierce supposed to be fighting against Doll?" If Messiah won and realized Pierce did not heed his call for aid, Amiens would see the repercussions. The Baron of Gardens was already on rocky waters to begin with, the fugitives he harbored and the way he had an Oracle imprint on him against orders. "It's a bit more complicated than that." Christopher said, without offering much more in explanation. "I hope you don't get involved in the fighting, Sonata. Your mother and I will fix things, you don't need to dirty your hands."
Sonata was agitated as they walked towards what was hopefully the direction of Baron Pierce. Ophelia owed him a lot - she wasn't going to run off and chase after Messiah until she ensured Pierce's safety. "Cal and I were going to become Barons." She explained with a bit of a hiss. "I wanted to prove to myself that I could be strong, that someone like Cal could raise someone worthy of the title of Baron!" Calciferous despite his cocky attitude, was quite insecure deep within. He was always weaker than Echo, and his own human and partner died because he fled with an infant Sonata. If he didn't abandon everyone, just maybe, Shadow could have lived. "I wanted revenge." Calciferous murmured, recalling his past. "And if I could become a Baron and live a good life, that would be my revenge against everyone who destroyed the Tower Society." He was a human lover, and he loved being part of that community even if Echo didn't understand.
"I just wanted to kill Messiah." Ophie said quietly, since Cal and Sonata were sharing their reasons for pursuing their dreams. "And it looks like tonight's my chance."
