Sona had always appreciated how precisely her peerage worked, but she had never been so proud of them as she was now. When she called them before dawn and gave them their instructions they promptly went into action. Reya was given the unfortunate and dubious honor of escorting Issei home so that his parent's memories could be modified; no one wanted to deal with a possible missing persons report. Her [Bishop] gave Sona an uncomfortable look as she left with Issei who was all too eager to bring a girl home under any circumstance. Ruruko was currently accompanying Asia to Kuoh Academy's Occult Research Club, where she would wait till classes ended. It was Saturday, with only a half a day of school the rogue nun wouldn't have to wait long. Sona had assured Ruruko that she would be excused from classes today so she could keep Asia company, and to ensure that the young nun wouldn't get into trouble on her own.

Tsubaki, Momo, Tomoe, and Tsubasa had the most important assignment of all, to escort their prisoner, Diodora Astaroth, to the Underworld. Currently Sona's four servants were standing on the platform which housed the train to the Underworld. It was the first time Sona had introduced Ambrose to any of her servants, but she felt pleased that their introduction went smoothly.

Sona had feared that Ambrose had initially made a poor first impression with both peerages when they had gathered in the Occult Research Club on the day he confronted Rias. He gave a few harsh accusations against Rias, but Sona felt that they were partially well deserved and it seemed that these four members of her peerage also felt the same. They were apprehensive at first, but quickly warmed up when Sona had relayed all that was accomplished last night. She explained to her four servants how the abandoned church had been cleared out, the ritual the Fallen Angels had performed on the two [Sacred Gear] wielders, how those same Fallen Angels attempted to frame the devils of Kuoh for their deeds, and most importantly the capture and interrogation of Diodora Astaroth. With that explanation the girls quickly warmed up to Ambrose.

"Thank you very much for all your help, Dragon-Slayer." Tsubaki said as she and her three fellow servants bowed with gratitude.

"Please, call me Ambrose." He insisted with a kind smile, "Something tells me we're going to be working together a lot more in the future, so I hope we can get along."

Before they boarded the train to the Underworld, Sona once more reminded her servants of their mission.

"You are to ensure no one finds out about this." She instructed Tsubaki, the importance of their task was impressed on by Sona's tone of voice, "Go directly to Maō Leviathan and give her our prisoner as well as this envelope. In it are not only what Ambrose and I found out, but also the modification to the fliers."

"Yes Kaichō." Tsubaki dutifully replied, "Are you sure it wouldn't be best for you to come with us?"

"I would," Sona admitted with a frown, "I had even planned on it, but I have to meet with Rias today in order to… over see her meeting with our 'guests'."

"I want to ensure she doesn't turn them into devils forcefully, just in case." Sona thought, while not wanting to voice such an unpleasant accusation. "Rias can be quite persuasive when she wants to be."
