Chapter 93: Infiltrate The Church!

Project: INFERNO


(As Hinami, Nightwave and Noah went through the church's seal thanks to Nightwave's temporary transparency, they stumbled upon the quiet church grounds and realized Sawano and the High Commission did not arrive ye.)
"Hinami: Sawano's not here yet.. That's good."
"Noah: Hm.. The church is gigantic..."
"Nightwave: I sense moving objects, two in the woods over there and over one hundred inside the church."
"Hinami: What about the two?"
"Nightwave: Over there by the back of the church, follow me."
(Nightwave was leading them to the back of the church to avoid suspicion but overheard a conversation. The three was then quiet as they heard their footsteps closing in as well.)
"Member: I uh.. I don't know about this, what if someone spots it..?"
"Member #2: Listen, no one would take the time to look out in the woods for something that's about to die out. Just relax and come on, the minister is about to start the ceremony!"
(The two church members went inside the church as Nightwave gave the green light.)
"Noah: Ceremony?"
"Hinami: We'll have to act fast, but first what did they mean by something that's about to die out..? Nightwave, can you check?"
"Nightwave: I sense a bit of life coming from over there!"
(The three of them ran north, away from the church and found the discarded body but turned out to be a dried out human with its skeletal bones showing. All three had a surprised look on their face after seeing the individual.)
"Noah: Holy crap..!"
"Nightwave: Its too late to save this one. We need to hurry to the sanctuary!"
(They nodded as Hinami looked back at the deceased human and followed Nightwave and Noah into the church, the three of them noticing how quiet it was. After searching for clues, Hinami stepped on a flyer which was a cryptic code.)

"Noah: What is that?"
"Hinami: Some kind of code... I can't tell what it's for or what it is."
"Nightwave: Let me see it."
(Nightwave took the flyer and stuck it to a cross, the cross then turned upside down and opened a hidden passageway which lead to the basement of the church. The three of them silently went down to figure out what the path was leading to.)
"Noah: I'm smelling something and its rotten...!"
"Hinami: WAIT...! I hear something.."
(The three then saw light as they walked out of the tunnel and saw over one hundred members of the church staring at a crucified female, struggling to be set free. Hinami covered her mouth in shock as she realized Cassiel was crucified on the cross.)
"(Whispering): CASSIEL..!"
"Noah(Whispering): How are we going to get to her..? Nightwave, how many times can you use temporal cloak?"
"Nightwave(Whispering): Only one more time but we have to strategize and think of a plan before I can even use it again."
"Hinami(Whispering): Hm.. There's over one hundred of these guys and-"
(A gong was then rung as the minister of the church walked to the front of the dark-hooded church members and the minister lowered his hood, Noah quickly realizing who the church's minister truly was.)
"Noah(Whispering): THAT'S MOTOMURA KAZUKAN..!!"
"Nightwave(Whispering): The drug smuggler?!"
"Hinami(Whispering): Who..?"
"Noah(Whispering): I'll explain it later, we need to go! NOW!"
(The three quickly moved through the shades of dark pillars as the Motomura began to speak.)
"Motomura: TONIGHT! All of us here rejoice into the reawakening and resurrection of our TRUE GOD! WE SHALL RESURRECT OUR TRUE SAVIOUR, LUCIFER HIMSELFFF!!!"
(The crowd cheered as Cassiel struggled to be set free.)

"Cassiel: L-LET ME GO! I'M NOT GOING TO HELP IN ANYWAY..!!"
"Motomura: Ahh.. But YOU MUST! You have absolute healing power Cassiel... You MUST help us resurrect Lucifer!!"
"Cassiel: OVER MY DEAD BODY!!"
"Motomura: BEGIN THE RITUAL AND AND START THE CHANTS!"
(The gongs and drums was being played as the Sigil of Baphomet was being formed. Motomura then was given a cauldron filled with Lucifer's blood and placed one finger in it, drawing the exact sigil on Cassiel's head after she was held down to avoid struggling then the chants begin to be heard. Hinami then clenched her hands tightly and had enough. Hinami then ran out the shadows as Nightwave and Noah was shocked at her action. She relentlessly slashed through a crowd of members to get to Motomura and Cassiel was surprised with joy.)
"Cassiel: HINAMI!!!"
"Hinami: LET HER GO, MOTOMURA..!"
"Motomura: Miss Hinami... WELCOME TO THE CEREMONY OF REVIVAL! Did you come to sacrifice your own life for Lucifer as well?!"
"Hinami: THE HELL I WILL! I WANT YOU TO LET HER GO NOW!"
"Motomura: Unfortunately, we cannot do that Miss Hinami, how about you take her corpse once we've drained her from both her elemental power AND her life force?!"
"Hinami: You're f**king sick..!!"
"Motomura: However, since you plan to stop our resurrection process we have no other option. SEIZE AND CRUCIFY HER NEXT!"
(The hooded-church members removed their cloaks and revealed their demon races, Nightwave and Noah stormed out of the shadows in time and backed Hinami up.)
"Noah: WE'LL HANDLE THEM HINAMI, GO AND GET HER!"
(Noah and Nightwave began fighting off Lucifer's demons as Hinami then stormed herself to the top of the stage to fight Motomura. Hinami then collided against a barrier as Motomura laughed and Cassiel was struggling to be loose once again.)
"Motomura: FOOL! THIS BARRIER WAS DESIGNED FOR ATTEMPTS LIKE SO!"
(Several demons began to attack Hinami which triggered her elements to awaken. They froze after noticing her glowing body.)
"Hinami(Altered Voice): BACK... OFF!"
(Hinami's entire body shined absolute gold which evaporated the demon's from its golden rays and Hinami's Perfected Sun Aura was revealed as she tried to break down the barrier, Motomura continued to laugh as a fast moving priest attacked Hinami before she could punch the barrier again. Hinami wiped her cheek as she did not feel the attack and started breathing heavily.)
"(Thinking): F**K..! I can't stay in this church for too long, it's beginning to sting..."
"Priest: The ceremony shall continue, you three shall become additional sacrifices for Lord Lucifer's resurrection!"
"Nightwave: Hinami!"
(Nightwave slashed through the last remaining demons to Hinami as Noah and him then had Hinami's back and prepared to fight.)
"Motomura: Do not hold anything back, KILL THEM IF YOU HAVE TO!"
