Solomon ran over to the far right side of the temple's sanctuary, pass the rows of pews and over to Jehanne's side helping the soldier in training back up to her feet before turning around to face Miracle. "Miracle, please stop this at once! You'll destroy the temple!"

For the second time in the day Sebastion had came to her aid, she couldn't complain. Right now she could use all the help she could get as it certainly wasn't going to come from anyone else in this church. Sincara knew that taking Aper on directly would be suicide so to silent the beast once and for all she had to finish the job she started back at the Crystal Expanse where she nearly ended the life of Miracle and the Seductress.
"If I'm to die here..."
Sincara jumped on top of one of the pews and aimed the barrel of the Six Shooter towards Miracle's head.
"I'd rather die fighting."

After being helped up to her feet by Solomon, a large dent in her chest plate from where the bullet hit it, she looked over to Sincara's place on top one of the pews and jumped up next to her swinging her sword down against the wrist of the arm that held the Six Shooter to cut off her hand and disarm her.

Sebastion gasped for air as the attack suddenly steepened in power, and had to momentarily withdraw; his clone not being given this simple mercy. However, he was far from frightened; more so furious at the threat of Sincara's life. His eye reflected this, a flame large enough to cover half his face, and burning strong enough to set fire to the nearby table cloth and even the carpet were he now ran across, racing at Jehanne; his gun-scythe firing three shots at the beast who'd easily crushed his guard. He used his wings to push him up, but realised he would not reach to block the knight's assault against the young sharpshooter, he threw his scythe in the effort to at least distract that sword-woman's strike.
Two clones appeared in front of Aper in Sebastion's flight, both rushing around to strike randomly against the fiend.
"Show me proof there's a stupid god!" one called, and the other laughed almost insanely in response, both Sebastion clones now demanding attention of the strange and alien beast they attacked, looking for a weakness. One used the rifle of his scythe to fire at a slight distance, the other going up close. Striking at the arms and evading as best as what his luck could carry him, he moved to feet, arms, chest, back, and even at one tried stabbing it's eye; but it seemed to leave no vulnerabilities.
"Gods must be disgusted at your lack of sportsmanship and fairness, beast. Hey, Solomon, why aren't you attacking this 'demon'?" the clone cried out as he was hit and knocked into nothing but smoke.

"You dare question the will of God, Solomon? Kill them!"
Miracle looked back to the others and her eyes burned with anger at what Sebastion has said.
"Blaspheme!"
The Sebastions unloaded everything they had upon Aper and Aper stood there unmoved as his gaze fell upon the clones and they simultaneously released a terrible screech before exploding and only the original remained. With the clones dispatched Aper moved towards the position of the original Sebastion and Sincara, his blades raised to smite them both.

"Is it God's will you fall to the power of the Arashi?" Solomon took a step closer to Miracle attempting to break her focus so Aper would disappear and this madness would end without further harm to Miracle. "Is it God's will you fall to the madness? Summon him away!" Solomon then looked over to Sebastion who was hopelessly trying to overpower what could not be overpower. "That's no demon and you'll long exhaust yourself before you gain any ground fighting him that way."

Sincara pulled back on the trigger of the Six Shooter but it wasn't a bullet to be sent to Miracle, it was a barrier of pure energy produced from the barrel of the gun and cloaked around her blocking Jehanne's attack and allowing her to push her blade to the side with the Six Shooter and spinning the knight around straight into the path of Aper before leaping off the pews and landing on the side of the church while firing off several more shots at Miracle.

Jehanne was caught off guard by the sudden energy barrier to follow the loud roar of the Six Shooter, allowing Sincara the opening she needed to hurl the knight in training right into the path of the Second Aspect.

Sebastion saw the woman fallling; and from such a height, it could potentially be life threatening for anyone without wings. Finding himsef once again acting before thinking, he jumped up, using his powerful wings to give him great speed as he raced. Missing at first to catch her, the reaper went for wild grab; and his fingers closed around the knight in training's ankle. Giving a sheepish grin as he lightly lowered her to the floor nearby Solomon and Miracle, he promtly was about to apologize, but could only bow as he summoned more clones to fight off the Arashi that threatened them all.
Finding it difficult to comprehend the magnitude of this beasts power, Sebastions flaming eye once again flared, black with a simlar anger as with Solomons words.
"Where is your god?" He yelled at Aper, 10 clones now racing and evading, attacking and sparring with the many armed monster, "And why has your god not known anything but evil? Only gods of pure darkness demand blood for atonement, heretic!" Sebastion called, all of them fleeing and forming a line at the far end away from Aper. Aiming thier scythes, they fired a spray of bullets all over the monster, each bullet erupting in explosive shrapnel.
"How can anything but a DEMON show such disgusting behaviour amidst such a beautiful preistess? You are no instrument of 'God'; a beast of evil with an unsatiable hunger for blood is all you ever were!" Sebastion called as he raced toward Aper, summoning a launching a ball of shadow energy at the ground before the beast and using the smoky blast as a screen to attack from the left. He ow scratched at it using the claws on his wings, and retreated and began his parries and attacks again, the other Sebastions firing the bullets relentlessly, occasionally reloading the cartridges that slid out of the scythes.
Why is it my luck turns sour in such a place? Cant even get the girls to like me! I wish i was home in Altenia right about now. . . . . . . .

Miracle raised up her arm to have Aper catch Jehanne but the enemy has already beaten her to that and dropped her off safely by her and Solomon's side. Regardless one good act was not enough for all the evil deeds he has performed since coming here and he dared spoke such awful things of God. Aper didn't even move or go for an attack when the clones came, it simply gazed upon them a second time and just like before the clones were all destroyed and only the original Sebastion remained to be knocked right into the path of Sincara as she fired her weapon.

"Miracle! You must stop this now!" Solomon grabbed Miracle by the shoulders and forced her to look at him. "Can't you see what it's doing to you? Stop this madness now before it's too late!"

"You idiot, they're working together!"
She couldn't believe the man's impulses, he really did have to be the savior of everyone. That folly would befall him rather quickly as Aper sent him directly into the path of the .357 bullets of the Six Shooter which would stop his momentum dead as they ripped right through his body and continued on their path for the Avatar.

Sebastion's luck kicked in; but not in the way that he considered normal. He glowed golden momentarily, as always occurred when his unique luck made itself visible. He remained glowing as he let out a small cry of pain, followed by a gasp of air; bullets racing through him. The pain he felt, the burning sensation as the steel death raced out his back to continue viciously at Miracle. The bullets had maintained their almost supersonic speed even through Sebastion. He fell to the floor stunned, and defenceless, bleeding as the new wounds now began softly bleeding and turning both his white uniform a red to match the deep red flame of his eye; though now it flickered weakly against an unknown breeze.
He touched his own blood, and chuckled in spite of the red flowers that had turned his uniform to a deep red; they hadn't hit anything vital. He lay on the ground, and looked to Aper, grinning viciously.
"I'm still breathing, Demon." was all he stated to it.
I better get rewarded for this... Getting shot is not fun at all. He thought with bittered amusement.

Jehanne was put down at the perfect position allowing her to jump into Miracle and push them both out of the path of the in-coming bullets from Sincara's Six Shooter as the Arashi continued its relentless assault against the intruders.
"Are you alright, my lady?"

Miracle was suddenly taken to the ground by Jehanne to spare her from being filled up by bullets and as a result, Aper dispersed after having her focus broken up by the recent development.
"NO!"
The High Priestess quickly got up to her feet, looking wide-eyed towards the black mist which was all that remained of where Aper once stood.
"Come back! We need you!"
