Caladrielle simply nodded to Morri offering thanks for services rendered. John folded his arms as he listened to Alexei rattle off a plan, which, was pretty bare bones all things considered. Nikolai simply grunted at his part. Then there was a knock at the door and John moved over cautiously towards it. Peeping through the hole before opening it slowly. Revealing Reynolds and Montferrat. The two moved into the apartment with Reynolds glancing at Alexei while Montferrat turned behind him as a feminine form crossed the threshold. Anna.
"Can't help overhearing absolutely everything courtesy of Morri. Recruited Montferrat who then scooped up the last surviving member of the Inquisition in Los Angeles." Indicating Reynolds who seemed utterly on edge being next to Anna. Montferrat must have gone through extreme lengths to convince the Inquisitor to join them in this endeavor. The latter speaking up, "The Templars will meet at the Church to assist in clearing the building."
But as for the Inquisition it seemed just Reynolds was present. Something which begged the question to the rest of the room. So Reynolds spoke calmly, "Rome is blind to this. No one in the Inquisition is aware of what is going on and the channels have been dead to anything going to the West of the Rockies."
Anna clasped her hands behind her back, she was not gird in her armour, rather in leather breeches and jacket with a matching turtleneck. Hair cascading around her shoulders. "As expected. The Inquisition likely is already infiltrated by Demonic agents. I would not be surprised Belial ordered the proverbial communication lines be cut the moment his Cult began to spread outwards in earnest."
Abandoned Consilia
The Mages surged through the sublevel halls in search for the rift. Needless to say it did not take long as they followed the source of the hunger. The gaping wound in reality. Until, moving into the abandoned laboratory, they saw a blacker than black mass. Static power and deep biting cold emanated from it. The gaping hole in reality was before them and the Mages could sense, no feel, the everlasting emaciation of the Abyss. Calling them, begging, seducing the Mages to step through and give themselves to the famished predators therein. They were running out of time. As the rift showed jagged edges and tears streaking off from its central mass. Beings, things, cold denizens of the Abyss on the opposing side had been lashing out, bashing, at the rift try and widen it. Increase the hole in reality until they could pass through fully. But now, it merely was eight feet across and seven feet wide, roughly circular and slightly oblate. With jagged edges and fissures in a half dozen places.

"I could care less what you are," responded Reynolds quickly to Morri. He made no attempt at hiding his disdain, if not downright distaste for being the room, but he had little option and if the Vatican was blind to this. Which, if any knew it would be Reynolds. Then it was likely something that he would otherwise have had to handle alone. So here he was, surrounded by beings he was sworn to destroy as heretical affronts to God. As Alexei spoke, Reynold's eyes shifted to the young man. So the Heretic lives. Among fiends, colour me unsurprised. Reynolds watched Alexei make the rounds. Muttering and murmuring.
John took his coffee with a nod and began sipping it black. Nikolai of course didn't drink coffee but nodded at the gesture as he went to the fridge and pulled out a blood pack. Breaking the seal and sucking on the little plastic tube like a straw. Offering one to Anna whom took it hesitantly. Copying Nikolai's method of obtaining sustenance a moment later. Then Alexei wound to Montferrat and the Templar took it, "Two? Thought you were Excommunicated?"
Reynolds didn't offer any clarification as he took the cup smoothly from Alexei. His face remaining passive as Alexei spoke him, looking up at him, pathetic self pittance. My faith is unwavered. You threw yours out a long time ago, boy. A dull rage growing inside him as the bodies of his friends, of Hideyoshi, of Manning, of Maxwell, of the Bishop Verio.
Alexei wound back to mentioning Caladrielle and the sorceress perked up. "Yes, the bones point to a Pentecostal Mega-Chu," splash
Reynolds had walked up to Alexei, spun the smaller man around, and dumped the sizzling fresh cup of coffee onto the mans face. "Speak ill of dead companions again, Apostate, and I'll be sure to send you to whatever Hell awaits." Reynolds may have struck Alexei, had it not been for the fact he bodily was lifted and pulled back by unseen hands. Invisible hands which forced him into a recliner to sit as he fought vainly to get free. Anna's eyes glowed red.
Adjusting her leather coat she grimaced in annoyance, "Enough! You are more than welcome to kill each other as much as you please after this threat to us all has been dealt with." Moving nearer Alexei, and incidentally blocking any retaliatory strike from the ex-Inquisitor or Morri for that matter, Anna continued, with eyes slowly dimming back to their typical brilliant green electric colouring, "Now, I will assist of course. At least I'd give whatever dysfunctional motley band this is a fighting chance. Though, unfortunately for you Alexei, any Demons I know are of name only via what literature I have read. Not that they would be amical to help me anyways."
Ronald Reagan Medical Center
Hiiss-splat
Red and black viscous liquid splattered the floor. A body with burnt out eyes, hears, and mouth falling to the ground. "Hmm hmm," came an elegant voice as a finely dressed man moved down the hall. Two other bodies hit the floor shortly after, "Hmmm hmm the Shareef don't like it," A fourth man, a doctor, made to punch the well dressed man. Who easily side stepped and gave a flick of the wrist. Shattering the doctor's jaw with twenty teeth clattering to the ground, "Rockin the Casbah, Rock the Casbah." Grabbing the Doctor the well dressed man made a swift motion left, then right, then spun as if dancing with the discombobulated doctor. In time for the doctor to catch several bullets to the back.
The well dressed man dropped the fresh corpse to the ground as he zipped with a blink of an eye to appear behind the two gunmen. Tapping them on the shoulder. Slowly turning around and once they glimpsed their target was now behind them. They made to move-snap. Finely manicured fingers grasped them by the back of their skulls and violently, gracefully, snapped their necks. Reaching up, the well dressed man adjusted his tie, "Now over at the temple, hmm hmm."
"Lucifer." Came a deep, guttural, male voice.
The well dressed man turned around on his heel. "In the flesh. Been too long Eriskagel...four millennia? Five?"
"Why're you here? Los Angeles belongs to Belial," stated Eriskagel. Wearing the body of a young female physician assistant with hair dun up in a loose bun.
"Thanks for telling me who you all are here under orders from," responded Lucifer cheekily.
Eriskagel gritted the assistants teeth as his eyes flashed coal black and red. "Belial can't be stopped. His hold grows by the hou-."
Lucifer's eyes flashed solid white and Eriskagel screamed. Blackness erupting from the physician assistants body. Fleeing before the Devil and passing through the glass of a nearby window. The physician's assistant collapsed to the ground. Lucifer's eyes returning to normal as the Blackness vanished into the night. The physicians assistant stirred, "Wha...what happ-," she saw Lucifer and then the bodies. Lucifer looking back, "Uh, right," the latter scrambled over to the assistant, "Come now love! Quick! There's a crazy gunman on the loose!"
Hoisting the physicians assistant up onto her feet he made to pull her along the hall.
"Bu..Doctor Kramer!" Pointing to a corpse in the hallway. Lucifer chattered rapidly, "Those were there when I got here! Come now, love, we got to go!" Pushing open an exit door he plopped her down onto the grass. "Run along love and don't call the police till you're pretty far!"
"What?!"
"Crazy gunman, many guns, lots of bullets! Bye!" Slamming the door shut, leaving the physicians assistant utterly lost and confused over what happened. Lucifer let out a sigh. "Right, time?" Pulling out a silver pocket watch the Devil checked the time, "Mmm six minutes and twenty...three seconds till Police arrive." Snapping the pocket watch closed Lucifer walked down the hall and took a left. Moving away from the bodies he left in his wake, "Now if I were a Governor attacked by Fallen Elohim were would I be?"

"So we're going this?" Morri asked out loud. "Hitting where the Big Bad Demon Thing is hiding hard and fast?"
"Oh boy." She sighed, realising the seriousness of the situation. "Tis gonna take me time getting the rest o' me pack since, ye know, I can't just contact 'em fer...uh....reasons."
"Seriously though," Said Morri as she looked at Anna. "Wot's yer plan?"

Anna raised her eyebrows, "Oh this is my show now?" The Vampire rubbed her chin, "Time is not on our side. My forces can handle any incoming outside forces. Montferrat?" Anna glanced at the Templar who raised his head, "My Knights will be coming into the Church to handle the foe's lackeys. I have twenty men with me." Twenty Templars, Garou, Anna's forces holding the outside perimeter, and themselves. It sounded like a much more even fight now.
Nikolai switched on the TV, "It's already started." Indeed, things in Los Angeles were not looking good as more and more violence and chaos swept through Los Angeles. Even Southern California with riots, looting, crime, and even outright gang warfare ripping through towns from Long Beach to San Diego.

"The Umbra..?" Morri asked in surprise. "Well if yer sure ye wanna do this?"
"OK, take me hand then." She said once Alexei had consented. "Keep hold o' it till we're safely across, ye really don't wanna get lost 'tween here and the Umbra."
After Alexei took hold of her hand, Morri glanced round for the nearest mirror or window to use it's reflective surface in order to make the crossing that much easier. Focusing hard, it wasn't long before Morri felt the now familiar sensation of the world slipping sideways and the room was replaced by an empty impression. Though here and there were various technological items were located in the 'physical' world there was cobwebs round them filled with fat little spiders that paid little heed to the newcomers.
"Follow me." Morri said to Alexei before leading him outside where the impressions of cars and the buildings were covered in cobwebs that seemed to stretch far as the eye could see. Finding a relatively open space Morri stopped, did a quick glance round and then took a deep breath before looking looking at an immense Moon that dominated the sky. Though to Alexei it appeared Morri was looking at empty sky for the Inquisitor could see a bright shiny light high in the sky, different from the sun in the physical world.
"Stallion, totem of the Emerald Hunters." Morri calls out. "I, Morrigan O'Malley, come 'fore ye ta receive yer...judgement."
The silence passed by painfully slow before the sound of hooves could be faintly heard in the distance, growing louder until a great horse galloped into view before trotting to a halt a short distance in front of Morri. The horse just looked at Morri and snorted, Morri herself could feel it's presence and it's...displeasure when it spoke in her head. An exchange took place between the two, though there were no words that Alexei could and his only sign as to how things were going was the frown on Morri's face. The exchange ended when Morri turned away from the stallion and looked at Alexei.
"OK, it's like this." She sighed. "Got ta try and sever the link with Anna, theres a way o' doing so though it's a case of it might work and it might not."
"I've got ta undergo a rite o' punishment, but that can wait until big bad demon lord is dealt with." She continued. "After that, it'll be a rite o' cleansing ta make everything right and proper again."
[b]"However, a chiminage is expected...ta least appease the totem I've got ta mate."

Fires continued to bloom sporadically throughout Los Angeles as the ravenous energies of Belial continued to grow and spread its infectious urges. Turning even pious and puritan members of society into the violent, the lustful, the depraved, and gluttonous. Chaos reigned in Los Angeles as the police began to lose whatever control their had over the situation. While the National Guard found themselves under fire from mortal cartel and gang forces and thus were stuck outside the city. Televisions all across America could only watch in horror as this metaphysical plague continued to creep across Southern California.
As the assembled coalition of rather unlikely constituents began to move forth. They soon found their way blocked by throngs of deranged Los Angelenos. Many brandishing some form of fire arm or blunt object. Bodies laid sporadically about the street.
"Clear the way," ordered Anna. Her Black Legionnaires moved into ready positions and without ceremony. Opened fire. Automatic weapons fire from assault rifles, battle rifles, and even a few LMGs brought in as squad support weapons scythed down over one hundred individuals in short order. But the hordes didn't part. Rather, their eyes drunk with demonic rage and blood lust, surged forth. A pair of legionnaires readied their underslung grenade launchers.
Plunk-plunk!
A pair of detonations as two 40mm grenades detonated among the crowd. Only then did the crowd waver. Anna pressed onwards, her Rothai and mortal soldiers advancing under the darkness. Illuminated by a chaotic and burning Los Angeles. The rest of her unlikely compatriots in tow. The Pentecostal Church appearing among the urban landscape before them. Individuals in dark robes and ritualistic scars began to move from the steps. The crowd stopped retreating. While from the East and West, adjacent boulevards, thousands of demonic driven Los Angeles natives were advancing.
"Anna turned to her compatriots. Advance into the Church. The Cultists ringleaders will be there with whatever lesser Demons have managed to get through. They will undoubtedly be trying to finish whatever ritual is needed to fully bring Belial to Earth. I'll hold off the horde."
Anna drew her blade, shining with a malevolent inner fire, while the Rothai hefted their weapons. Lips curling to reveal their fangs.
