Hal nodded in response.

"All right." he said.

"Let's go." he told her.

"Izea, thank you for the information." he then said further.

"We need to get this spear and Mira's body into the same room, and make sure the body is restrained so they won't try and interfere with this." he went on.

"The sooner we clear this up, the better."

"...ah, right." Hal responded.

"Izea, you'll need to come with." he told Izzy.

"While Kiah is dealing with this renegade soul, you'll need to initiate the swap back." he went on, knowing she knew what he was talking about.

"I dare say Kiah will be in no condition to concentrate on anything more than the soul." he reasoned.

"Now, if we're both clear on this, we'll do it in the holding cell that Mira's body is in. Let's move." he finished.

Hal paused and looked over towards Izea, before clearing his throat a little.

"Oh... right." he said.

"That spear IS pretty long..." he admitted, making his way over, wording that as tactfully as he could. Saying the spear was long was a lot more professional than pointing out she was shorter than MIRA.

He walked closer and extended his hand, taking the spear and looking at her.

"This will be a little easier." he said.

"Sorry about that."

Hal laughed a little when she made her comments.

"You get things done that no other guard can." he told her.

"You're light, quick on your feet, stealthy as anything..." he went on as they left Mira's office, and the R&D department itself. "...you're truly a credit to my team." he assured her.

"And you've got the right attitude, and spunk." he said further.

"Jake knew what he saw when you rushed into our lives."

"So I decided to GIVE her some authority." Hal chuckled.

"I figured it would go belly-up, or work splendidly." he reasoned.

"Thanks for making it the latter." he told Izea, as they made their way to the holding cell where 'Mira' was.

"... all right, we'll need to be very careful about this." he said.

"Kiah, I'll pound on the door when the soul is ready to be put in the spear again." he told Kiah.

"....ah, yes." Hal responded.

"I recall something like that being reported back when Rowena was rampaging throughout Europe." he said. "Mostly, she just neglected the bodies, and they remained where they were, dying a slow death without orders given to them." he remembered further.

"Some she killed. Some she had kill each other. But mostly, once she had the soul, she was done with them." he sighed.

"Sad, really." he lamented.

"But... I'm sure she doesn't wish to be reminded of that aspect of her past..."

Hal just shook his head.

"Indeed." he said.

"It's a shame that she's shackled to her past as she is." he went on. "Especially seeing as it's not her fault." he said further. "But that is quite another story..." he mumbled.

They reached the holding cell that 'Mira' was in, and Hal nodded to the two he was with.

"Clear out." he told the guard there, to which they nodded in return and left.

"You going to be okay?" he asked Kiah.

"In case they try anything drastic when you first enter?" he asked further, handing her the spear.

Hal watched them go, and held his breath, wondering how this would happen. He hoped without a hitch.

'Mira' just sat there, and narrowed their eyes when they saw the two that came in, the spear in hand. They then laughed out loud, shaking their head and looking at the stained blade of it.

"Hah!" they snorted.

"Bet she's having a blast in there." they taunted. "Forced to watch as her life is ruined." they went on.

"Shoulda destroyed it when I had the chance." they then growled.

"But this place reacted too quickly." they cursed.

"...." they were silent for a moment, before shrugging.

"Okay." they said.

They then reached out and grabbed the spear... before promptly using its length to yank and wrench it free from Kiah.

"Excellent!" they exclaimed.

"You've given me what I need to destroy you both!"

"What the...!?" the one with the spear exclaimed, before looking at Kiah.

"DAMN YOU!" they yelled, as they pulled back to launch the weapon at her.

And then promptly seemed to stop.

"...what the...!?" they asked, looking down and seeing the rune spreading out underneath them.

"What is this?" they inquired.

"What have you done!?"
