No sooner had Zanipher finished her sentance did Tragoedia finish tearing off the bolts holding his last armour plate. Free from the magnetic pull, he once again rose to his full height before taking a single step forward - his synthetic muscles tensing as he prepared to charge. Before he could, however, Diaboli's whip smacked lightly against his torso.

"Stand down, Trago," he ordered coolly, much to Smiler's evident horror.

"Affirmative," he replied, relaxing and holding his hands behind his back as if he didn't have a care in the world - which he most certainly didn't. "''Sir. The time designated has elapsed. Has the mission been a success?" ''

Diaboli thought for a moment. Before nodding. "Yes, I think it has."

Smiler, on the other hand, didn't seem to share the same opinion. Whatever pain he was suffering he quickly forced aside as he reached forward and grabbed Diaboli roughly by the shoulder.

"You can't be serious!" he snarled, pointing at Zanipher angrily. "This bitch tried to kill me!"

"And she would have done everybody a favour if she succeeded!" Diaboli shot back, noting with surprise the flash of hurt which passed across Smiler's face as he recoiled. But within a moment it was gone, replaced with unbridled fury.

"This is bullshit! You're just abandoning us to have a holiday with your girlfriend and your stupid---"

Diaboli's whip was around Smiler's throat before he could spit out the last words, choking him with such pressure that he dropped to his knees immediately.

"Do not test me, Smiler," he hissed venomously, holding him there several seconds longer before throwing him back towards his friends. He then turned to Zanipher, shrugging with forced indifference. If he wasn't still wearing a helmet his expression would be apologetic.

"Sorry, just having to deal with difficult subordinate." He turned to Tragoedia. "How long until our ride gets here?"

"The Bullhead was scheduled to arrive 39.4 seconds ago,"  the android answered in a mechanical heartbeat. "''It is highly probable that it is already located in the area." ''

"Perfect!" Diaboli smiled, clapping his human hand on his weapon arm before turning back to Zanipher. "Well, if that concludes are business here, I'd prefer to leave before the authorities get here. I can't imagine the Huntsmen will be pleased when they find out I release another Dakuteki - actually, nevermind. You don't look like the kind of person who likes to fairy tales..."
