Belmonte looked at Nuriko and then Hana. He smiled and nodded as his heart beated faster, "I never thought I could trust anyone ever again..." He said as Hana played with his fingers "But now I know ghat I can. I will never let anyone hurt you or Hana. I promise you that I will become strong and help Tori fight anyone who tries!"
He laughed as Hana pulled on his fingers, "I will ensure your saftey!"

Grand nodded, "Ah, very well!" He said smiling at the group. "Thats marvelous. A tad saddening but st-" he was cut off by the water again. A voice sounding very odd came from it.
"Master Grand! I do declare sir that my test subject is due for examination!" The voice said very excited like. Placids eyes grew dark and his skin turned pale. "Oh no... Not Diaboun..." He said as a chill ran up his spine. Grand laughed as he watched Placid cringe, "Bahaha! Alright alright! We will be back shortly Professor!" He said sighing and walking to the waters edge.
Placid looked back at Mihari and sighed, "Im afraid I have to..." He was cut off by Belmonte. "leaving so soon?" He had run back, only to run up and hung onto Placid, "Thank you... Thank you for teaching me that song..." He said tearing up. Placid looked at him and hugged him back. "Protect them for me..." He said quietly to Belmonte. He smiled, "And keep Tori out of trouble too..." Tori smiled and smirked, "Yeah yeah..."
Placid turned to Mihari and held her close, "I love uou..."

"Diabound? Really? I wouldn't trust him with a toothpick, let alone anything else." Nuriko said, walking up behind Belmonte with Hana still in her arms. She sighed, looking rather put out at the idea of Diabound having anything to do with Placid's time in heaven. "Of all the... that backstabbing, power hungry, good for nothing... I swear to god if he does anything stupid I will come up there myself and beat the living shit out of that bastard." Nuriko said, looking rather angry. She shook her head. "I really don't like this. Why HIM of all people?" she glared between Grand, Tori and Placid.
Mihari had heard enough about Diabound from Nuriko and everything that had happened recently to be a little worried. She sighed, holding Placid close to her. "I love you too. Just be careful." she sounded worried, and though she wasn't too happy with the arrangements as of now, she knew there was nothing that could be done about it.

"Father, whats going on? Why is Diabound claiming Placid as a 'Test Subject'?" Tori said walking forward. Grand was going to speak but was interupted by Diabounds voice.
"Ah! Nuriko! How amusing it is to hear your voice again. I do say my dear, I hope your scars are healed now? They should be... Now then, why am I, genius supreme, handling your your little mistake? Why its simple really. He is to be studied to fix him. You simpletons thought he was cured and rid of Nocturne forever did you? Wrong! He isn't cured! Darkness isn't something that vanishes I am afraid. I am going to fix him to become ineffected by any of the dark feilds or thoughs left behind from 'He Who Brings the Night'. Simply put, I am trying to stop another mishap from that abomination!" He said sounding a bit crazed. Placid shivered while Grand nodded, "As hard as it seems Diabound knows about that condition. As bad as it sounds, Placid can only be fixed by him."
Tori shook his head, "Quit talking about him like some built machine! He is-"
"Isn't a machine?! Hahaha!" Diabound said cutting Tori off. "You know nothing of science! Nothing about Placid is pure Angel! Placid is MY creation! He exists because I made him! Do you understand me? He is a product made to kill! I built him, I can fix him!"
Placid looked down, "Yeah... Thats right..." He said sighing, "As true as that may be, I am more human than you could ever imagine!"

Nuriko scowled. "Oh please. Why in hell would I allow him to be left in the hands of the one who caused my banishment and worked WITH nocturne. All of this is HIS fault. Placid isn't anyone's creation, except maybe gods. And I refuse to believe that Diabound's treacherous ass can fix anything. And apparently he is so corrupted that even he has no inkling of the fact that darkness fades. My little mistake? Apparently his so-called 'genius' has turned to insanity. And i'm tired of everyone talking about placid like he's a monster. Diabound is more of a monster than he is!!" she was very angry at this point. "I know how 'Nocturne' was created, you moron. Yet beside that fact, Placid STILL holds more purity in his pinky finger than Diabound could muster in his entire body. Not that Diabound has any inkling of what purity is anymore." she clenched her fists, looking away. "Darkness takes more than experiments to get rid of. Mihari has done more for him in the short time they've been together than your poking and prodding could do in an entire lifetime." she sighed, trying to calm herself down. She looked over at Mihari and Placid, Mihari still holding Placid close and resting her head on his chest. She shook her head, handing off Hana to Belmonte. "I suppose it's not my decision. If Placid thinks this is for the best, then I hope to god he is right. I just don't think this is a good idea." then she walked away, not wanting Diabound's comments to make her do something stupid. She found herself back at the cliff, sitting down to try and calm herself.
Mihari kept quiet. She was really starting to dislike this 'Diabound' guy even more than she already did, but she knew when to not get involved. And she knew that this was something only Placid could deal with.
"If you think this is the only way, than I will accept that. As long as that is coming from you, and not from the talking moron who seems to be full of himself despite everything. I don't want anyone convincing you that this is the only way. If YOU believe that, than I will accept it. Just know that I love you more than anything..." she leaned in and whispered in his ear."I will need you to stay sane so you can come home to me. I need you with me, more than you realize." then kissed his cheek softly.

"As wrong as it sounds, he did create me... Nocturne was the accident though..." He said looking into Mihari's eyes. "He knows me better than anyone. What I am, what I am capable of. I promise you I will.come back to you. Sane." Grand shook his head, he knew this was twisted and Diabound wasn't to.be trusted but there wasn't another way.
"Placid... We must go. It's time..." He said sadly shaking Tori's hand. "I am sorry for um... Him." He said walking back towards the water. Placid stood by his side and they soon vanished as if they submerged into the water and stayed there. Belmonte turned to the woods and ended up at the cliff again. "Um, Nuriko... I know how you feel. Diabound sou.ds a bit... Well, he is being a jerk. But, don't forget that Placid can handle himself. I mean he had you all to watch over him and Mihari right? I am sure he will be fine!"
Tori had made his way to Mihari's side and put his arm around her. "I promise you... I will promise you his protection..." He hugged her and.led her into the forest while the girls silently followed. They reached the cliff with Belmonte and Nuriko. They watched the stars glimmer on the salt water shoal. Hana had fallen asleep to the sound of the waves and the group sat silently as Belmonte silently sang the song Nuriko had sung earlier. He had memorized the while song and as he sung his eyes gleamed.
The song ended with more scilence until he spoke. "Forever with your soul..."
