Daten City, despite being known for its sacrilegious government head, has many churches and churchgoers. The newer churches often get the most funding due to their modern design- not unheard of especially in the richer parts of town. However, there aren't many new churches being built in the city, so they need to make due with what they have. Spending a little money to spruce up a church isn't so bad in a good community!
The newest church in the city has a new churchgoer- and he doesn't seem to like burial ceremonies.
A group of graverobbers had entered a graveyard in the nicer part of the city hoping to score some loot. Thinking they had it in the bag after drugging the gravekeeper, they made their way to dig into their spoils when they were met with a less-than-friendly face: a humongous green dog. Terrified, they made their escape and reported it to the local authorities, but nothing was done.
Recently, this church has reported difficulty holding funerals and burial ceremonies because there is a dog that just doesn't like it when people, or things, are buried in the ground. On top of that, construction crews get driven off when they try to finish the floor! What could be under there?
Strappon had barely gotten any time to settle since Father Handcuffs' death. Between the Nephilim and the Demons' interference, he was hoping for some semblance of normalcy when he got a phone call. The priest on the other end sounded awfully disgruntled, asking for help with a ghost problem- well, at least this was his form of normal.
He called the Angels to the Rec Room for a briefing.
"Okay, I know we're all still trying to breathe after dealing with Hell Corp..." He started, crossing his arms and sighing to indicate that he, too, was still trying to get his life back together, "So as a pick-me-up, I guess we can get back to work with putting the city back in order. We got a call from a Priest in downtown Daten that's having a spot of trouble with burial ceremonies. He says many people are being driven from the grounds by a large dog."
The troubled looks on their faces were enough to convince him to press on.
"Look, just meet me there around 5 tonight and we'll get this whole mess cleaned up. It's about time we had a normal ghost mission, right?" He snorted, hands on his hips, "We can't reclaim this city with you lot sitting on your arses."
Meanwhile, Hell Corp's employees have been dealing with their own troubles- the mountains of busywork they'd been given to cover up the Absolute's disappearance did not soften the blow of their missing superior. Fundoshi could only do so much to keep the questions from loading his inbox, and Amulet hadn't seemed to keen on explaining why he'd been questions so reverently by the Absolute... So, he'd just given them some backlog.
Torsolette had locked herself away in the labs for some time, but came bursting into Fundoshi's office with vigor this morning.
"Oh, Fundoshi, deary. We have some work to do!" She called to him in a sing-song voice, Amulet in tow. "It seams there's a possible Lost Soul ripe for the ripping. Sew if you could be a dear and send off a blast we'll be right on track, hmm~?"
Fundoshi had looked up from his paperwork, and though Torsolette had been leaning on his desk to speak to him for a moment, the confirmation nod seemed to have been enough to give her signal that he had it handled- she was out the door waving him off with a thanks and gone in a heartbeat.
Amulet cleared his throat and handed Fundoshi a file.
"She wrote you a report about the Lost Soul." He snorted, "You should be fine sending the details out to the neophytes and I'll send a Lord to handle the rest."
Then he was gone, Fundoshi hadn't gotten a word out to either of them. He shut his mouth, snorted with his brow furrowed at the door, and sent an email out to the rest of the Hell Corp employees.
"To All Hell Corp Employees, There has been a sighting of a Lost Soul in the Downtown Daten Area; Located on a church ground or graveyard. Mission: Investigate the area and corrupt any Lost Soul in the immediate area
Notes: Since this is a church, you must proceed with caution. Crosses may cause minor irritation- do not enter the building unless absolutely necessary.
Report findings to immediate superior. - Fundoshi"
ANGELS: Find and repent the Lost Soul!
DEMONS: Investigate and corrupt the Lost Soul!

The darkness of night was approaching and Strappon stood outside his car awaiting the arrival of the Angels. He had already briefed the clergy that worked in the church that he had arrived so they could prepare to leave for the rest of the night, leaving the church grounds barren of life- even the birds that would usually hang around a creepy graveyard weren't present.
He peered at his phone for a moment. He was a little uneasy, he felt like the presence of whatever was there might be effecting him a little. It wasn't dark yet, but he knew he'd be a little jumpy.
Jacket poked his head out from behind Strappon's car and whistled.
"Haunted graveyaaaards! My fave place to hunt!" He chuckled- who knew he was into hunting in graveyards? No one. He's probably making shit up.
----
On the other side of the church, just outside the graveyard gates, Fishnet was waiting for the rest of the Demons to show up that he'd emailed. He blew hair out of his face, making it obvious he was bored. He had his hands on his hips, grumpy expression and all. Why was he sent to detail this anyway? Oh, right. He was a Lord. That meant babysitting duty.
"Maaan, what a drag." He snorted, "Whatever, the other demons better get here soon. I'm gettin a rash just lookin at this place."
He looked around to see if anyone else had arrived yet. Maybe he could pick on somebody. If he got the email, then everyone else did. He even sent out another one to harass them, and a group text.

Father Crucifix and Angels had arrive at the location. As they arrive in front of Strappon, Boxer and Raincoat stand up straight like in the Military. "Angels of the Crucifix reporting for duty, Father Strappon!" Boxer and Raincoat said together and saluted. Father Crucifix then came up. "At ease, Angels!" Father Crucifix said in a military voice. Boxer breath heavily and Raincoat fell on the ground when he said that. "Brother Strappon, it's good to be apart of this Mission with you" Father Crucifix said with calm voice as he extend his hand for a shake. "So, what are we dealing with?" Father Crucifix ask as he waits for Strappon to Response. Meanwhile the two Angels were tried out because Father Crucifix made them train very early in the morning.

Strappon lifted his head and looked over the Angels and Father Crucifix, taking the hand that was extended to him and giving it a shake.
"Nice to see you again, as well, Crucifix. There's no need to be so formal." He said, offering him a short smile before looking over the Angels, "Boxer, are you... Doing alright? You and this new face seem rather tired."
Jacket hopped over Strap's car and strode up to Boxer and Raincoat.
"Yo, Box! You feeling alright? Who's your new friend here?" He asked, giving them both a huge grin as usual.

"I'm doing alright Father Strappon. Just Father Crucifix woke us up early because he wanted us to be ready for this Mission." Boxer said as he catch his breath. "Also, hey Jack and This is Raincoat" Boxer said as he somewhat introduce Raincoat. Raincoat gave a thumbs up. "Sorry for not introducing my Angel to Father Strappon" Father Crucifix apologize to Strappon. "She is Raincoat, a Envy and Sloth Fallen. She skilled with long range for her weapon and skilled at Water Magic but she can't us it for she is a Fallen" Father Crucifix introduce her fully to Father Strappon and Jacket. "Nice...to...meet...you.." Raincoat said tried like as laid on the group. "Also, I learn to control my anger Father Strappon!" Boxer said to Strappon with smile. "But that still doesn't change me defeating God! Just makes me want to work harder to that Goal!" Boxer said with proud smile. "Yes, Boxer has been recovering greatly. Though back to the topic at hand what are we dealing, Brother Strappon" Father Crucifix said as he got a little serious.

Mary Janes sat in the graveyard, he picked some flowers for the tombstones and placed a few down in the row of Pinkies. He stretches and yawns, turning on his pastel pink bat flashlight.
Foxstole was drawing dicks on her own grave, classy. She walks over to Strappon and she rests her hands on her hips. "Been a while since I hunted." She sighs happily. "Those were the days.."
Virgin Killer skipped over to Fishnets, lollipop mid suck. She looks around and she pouts. "Not the most lively crowd but it'll do I guess. Hmm..wonder if I'm in here somewhere.."
Sneaker Heels walked over to the group in her favorite cloak. She held a golden candelabra, fuck flashlights. The red wax dripped on the ground. "Hi.." She growled. Ew socialising.

Fascinator was a grumpy boy, mostly because he hadn't slept in a few days. He was on edge due to the many night terrors he's been having nonstop, and he was running out of his medication so that was also troublesome. But lately, he hasn't been feeling like himself. Irritated, anxious, and a slight feeling that he was going to die. He parked his car, he wasn't looking forward to being anywhere near a church. But graveyards were his childhood home almost, his mother's pride was in their funeral home so anything to do with a cemetery always got his attention. Which explains why he was here today, after all, it's very concerning when one funerary service was being interrupted. His mom was the money maker, and his dad needed his fineries in life. He was supposed to report to a demon then if he's reading this email correctly. He nudged Knittens off into the church, the boy refused to stay at home. Walking over to Fishnet, presumably the only demon there at this point, he just lowered his head. He didn't want trouble today okay, just greeting,
"Good evening."
Knittens waves goodbye to Fascinator as he joins in with the other angels and heavenbents, if any were there. He scratches his head nervously, places like these give him the heebie-jeebies. He asks curiously to anyone around,
"Any damage done?
While his mother wasn't the funeral director in the family, he still cared about that side of family s well.

An order from Maxi Skirt was more powerful than anything any other demon could say to Etch. And so, he decided to make his move onward to where the Lost Soul had been said to be. He knew what he was meant to do and as soon as he could he immediately went to report to Fishnet. When he approached the demon he spoke up in his usual soft girly voice.
"Mr. Fishnet... I-I am here for the lost soul corruption thingy... or... something." He really actually didn't know what he was exactly doing, but he knew that if he had not come he would be in deep shit from Maxi Skirt, and he was having none of that.
Etch certainly wasn't very impressively to look at, sure he was a good fighter, but nobody would be able to tell just by looking at him. Holding his arms over his stomach he wasn't even making eye contact with the higher up demon, he was just... nervous... bless his soul.
---
On the other side of things were the angels, and of them, one particular angel who never showed up to events like these finally made his landing. As usual, Collier was escorted by a few of his boys and landed gently on the grounds near where Strapon had been. He approached the human with a smile stretched across his face.
"Its been quite a while since I've been here since I fell a few hundred years ago, Tell me, how have things been human?"
His tone was as cocky as ever, and he had a huge ego it seemed, even after 100 years of being a fallen angel, Collier had not changed one bit.
Cloak was here too, he was in the corner scribbling away in a notebook, he didn't like socializing much but a Lost Soul was new information to him, and so he did his best to keep track of it all. With his new found rank, being a fully fledged Heavenbent, he was interested in actually attacking something for once in his life.

Helmet sat atop Strappon's car, observing the area with righteous focus. He hoped to catch a glimpse the foul creature haunting the graveyard before he and the others went in.
Loincloth made his way to the graveyard, tobacco pipe in hand. He heard the rumors of a giant green dog in the local graveyard and knew immediately that it was a lost soul. The only reason Loincloth even left his house to investigate because he knew the angels would be here and he promised Raincoat he'd join her and her friends on this hunt. Damn those puppy-dog eyes of hers. Upon reaching the graveyard, he noticed the group of angels and heavenbents. He grumbled before taking a puff from his pipe and approached the group. 'It's just one hunt, Loincloth. Just suck it up and keep your cool until it is over with.' He thought to himself.
---
A pick-up truck drifted from around the corner a couple blocks from the graveyard and zoomed over towards the gates. It's driver pulled the brakes hard and tires screeched as the truck slowed down little by little until coming to a full stop, the front tires just barely touching the sidewalk. The driver's door opened and out came the reckless Rukavista. "HEY! ARE YOU THE LITTLE SHIT YOU KEPT SENDING ME FUCKING TEXTS?! I GOT THE FUCKING MESSAGE THE FUCKING FIRST TIME!" He shouted, pointing at Fishnet.
As Ruka threw one of his usual temper tantrums, the passenger's door opened and out flopped the former-Hell Corp Employee Vest, dizzy from Ruka's reckless driving. Oh, how he hated it when Ruka was on the wheel. He looked up and a chill went down his spine as he saw all the spooky looking graves, crosses, and the general creepy atmosphere of the graveyard. "Why do graveyards have to be so creepy?" He said with a hint of nervousness in his voice before turning his head to Fishnets and giving a little wave hello.

It wasn't too long after Shades arrived to the church himself, both with his fiance and an unwilling Archer in tow. The other Angel seemed visibly upset for being dragged out here when he could be practicing something to prove his superiority. You know, things like his archery, acting, or even accordion skills, not this menial task he can finish in a second. While both Sukafu and Archer hopped out of the car, Shades only rolled down his window, looking off in the direction of everyone else.
"What, you only came to drop us off?" Sukafu asked before noticing the tiredness on Shades' face, "You alright? You slept at an ungodly hour of the night again, didn't you?"
It was hard to deny and Shades simply nodded. He stayed awake well past midnight trying to get personal projects finished aside from dabbling in some riveting video games with Luna who was still experiencing some wicked jet lag.
Sukafu planted a small peck on Shades' forehead, patting the man's shoulder before leaving him to meet up with Strappon and the others. He waved hello as he took his sword off his back to properly holster it.
Archer begrudgingly joined up but he was still quite a distance away. He huffed, crossing his arms and looking away. "So, any reason we're waiting? We should just go with the group we have now. You can all act as distractions while I dispatch whatever's ailing this land and call it a night."
"Calm down Greg, it's not that of a high priority to repent whatever's in here!" Shades called out from his car. Archer snapped in the man's direction, holding a finger up to retort but he knew better than to disrespectfully snap at authority. He wasn't going to risk it. He bit his tongue as he turned back to the group.
"Fine," he said, "I'll be patient..."
Or he would be acting like he was patient a little better if he didn't already detest the mere presence of another Angel at first sight. Yes, he was glaring daggers at Collier.
Jokki looked worse than Shades and she had a pretty good excuse for looking worse than death considering that she directs many zoos in Daten. Her day was busy and she could barely focus on her office job in Hell Corp, but that wasn't an excuse to go home and rest. At least not a good enough excuse to this tiny menace known as Fishnets.
Walking up to the kid, she tapped his head to get his attention, showing her phone, "You rang..." She said.

Gloves drove his Green Kawasaki Motorcycle along with Sapphire Necklace and arrive at the location where the rest of the Angels would be and park Gloves bike next to Strappon's car. At first glance of the graveyard, it was dark, scary, and it gives you the chills down to your spins whenever a cold wind blows at your skin. Sapphire really doesn't like scary things at all, especially at the graveyards. At this moment, she was shaken like a maraca. Gloves doesn't like the place either, but he's a Virtue angel, and his job is to protect his allies and help the angels to become virtues themselves. Holding hand with Sapphire, they walk over to the group and wave at them. "Hey, y'all!" He said to them, "We're here!". Sapphire also wave to them, but still shaken.
Dress Socks and G-Strings also came to the sight where the rest of the demons are at and they came to the location on foot. Of course they wasn't scared to come at night, it's a beautiful night after all, but they're little scared of going inside of the church. Just a little, but don't want the other employees to know. Yet, a Lost Soul is still a ghost and their mission is to corrupt the Lost Soul. They wave at Fishnet and the rest of the demon co-workers to let them know they're here.

Virgin stretches and licks Sneaker Heels' cheek. "Do that thing you do that's all badass and metal."
If you could see her face, she'd be glaring daggers. "Fine, you pink cunt." She blows a poison dart into one of Gloves' wheels. She then casually puts on some lipstick. "You're welcome."
Virgin kisses her cheek and yawns. " Am I?"
"Suck my-" "Honey, already have."
Mary sees Knittens and he trots over, surprise hugging him,"Boo!" He giggled.
Foxstole pulls some hair spray out of her hair and she starts spraying it while humming the friends theme song.

While Gloves and Sapphire was distracted with the rest of the group, Gloves's Green Kawasaki Motorcycles' wheels slowly deflated from the poison dart. Slowly, slowly, and slowly. Until, it hit the ground and doesn't have air anymore. Welp! Someones gonna be mad later on.
Not knowing, Gloves and Sapphire walks up to Boxer and his friends, "Hey! Boxer!" He wave to them, "How's it going and...are you two alright?" He ask them. "Also, who's you new friend, Boxer?" He said to him while turning his head at Raincoat.

Knittens screamed but laughed,
"Hey Mary! How're you this night?"
Fascinator was a bit busy wondering if the far-off figure was a tree or something his mind was making up. Seriously, he can't tell if it was getting closer or anything. Man, late nights and paranoia certainly messes up with your head. Trying to keep his head clear, he couldn't but to twitch as he looks around paranoid. There's a sense of dread hanging over him. Yeah, no he's not dealing with this. Running over to Knittens, despite the church looking like a place where it's a haunted fun house. He pants,
"I'll just stay with you and make sure you're okay."
Riiight.
Knittens rolled his eyes at Fascinator asking,
"I thought you wanted to be at least 10 feet away from a church?"
The man sarcastically added loudly,
"Right because I would love to attend a midnight mass."
Fascinator wasn't a fan of churches due to the chill it always gives him, but for Knittens he'll have to suck it up.

As Father Crucifix continues his talk with Strappon. Boxer turns around and see and heard Gloves. "Hey Bro! I'm doing fine just a little bit tried" Boxer said as he pulls out a Energy Drink and drinks all down. "Much better!" Boxer said as he was now full of energy. "This is Raincoat! Raincoat meet Gloves, Gloves meet Raincoat!" Boxer said with energy. "Sup..." Raincoat greeted Gloves as she crawls towards Loincloth and starts to climb on to his shoulder then lays her head on top of his head. "Much Better..ZzzzZzzz" Raincoat said as she fell asleep. "Isn't she amazing!" Boxer said as he was still files with energy.
