Lola's patients were quickly slipping away from her mind. She's always had a tendency of driving people through the wall whenever she don't get her way. Therefore, she forced herself to grab the phone from the other side of the desk and dialed the number connected to Shiver's office.
"OK, OK, OK," scared out of her mind, the secretary was quick to try again and again and again until she heard her boss' voice's on the other end of the line.
About three minutes after Lola's outrageous behavior about having a private meeting, the secretary was able to get into contact. Surprisingly, she wasn't being cussed out, due to the fact it was rare she'd do that.
"Yes, Amanda, I was in a meeting, what's the problem?" Shiver Aruba asked, only to get an answer from the Core General.
"Hey, bitch, I would like to have a word with you," Lola spoke calmly, but was still heard by various people, who stood several feet away from the red-haired warrior.
Sighing in frustration, Shiver thought about going about it the wrong way, but decided to reconsider her options and took the smart route; not out of fear, but to avoid further conflict.
"Thank you. Have a bless day, Amanda," Lola quoted without saluting to the five foot, two inch woman.
"You-- You too, ma'am," Amanda's voice froze after she sat down. Nearly for over two minutes she hasn't been able to speak properly.

Floor two-hundred ninty-four. Lola had been on the elevator for the last five minutes, condemplating one clue after another about Shiver's involvement at the Leserado War fifteen years ago. Her suspicions grew every time it came to her mind. Since the Globe Government, at the time, weren't trusted by Diamond, the current Core General had been pushed to the point of accusing them when her instincts are never wrong.
Floor two-hundred ninty-four was somewhat of like a typical manager office. But there was a big T.V on the other end of the room. Four pillars dark dark pastel blue vines embraced around as they trailed downward.
More than sixteen black bonded leather executive office chairs all circled around a big, oval-like table. The table was set with mug-holders for those that are interested in coffee. Standing over on the left hand side of the room was a miniature cafe filled with desserts from chocolate chip cookies to muffins and etc. The counter for that set was satin sheen gold with sandstorm yellow cabinets on the bottom. The ceilings were seashell white with more than several circled lights planted throughout the entirety of the Admission Room.
The General had alongside her weapon for incase she had to take matters into her own hands, according to some of the recent issues she's had with the GG.
As she descended upon the peak floor of the building, she sensed that she wasn't the only one paying a visit to Shiver Aruba. The doors opened slowly as she unsheathed the blade from her sword.
All of a sudden, a miracle had convinced her to put her sword down.
"I had a feeling you'd go along with the plan, you old mutt," Lola stated toward Tornado. She then had a smirk returning to her face from almost ten minutes ago. "State your business here."
"There's no need to explain myself, Mizuka. Let it be known that we both have a so-called comrade that can't be trusted with authorities," Tornado responded rather intensively. He could feel the blood in his cells grilled with seeds of rage.
"I'll let that one slide for right now. I have some questions that must be answered. This has nothing to do with what my problems are with the Bloodlust Revelation, my questions are based on who, from Globe Government fifteen years ago, was having a hand with Diamond's death?"
Shiver could feel her blood getting colder. She didn't know what to say. The head-Administrator hated accusations. As weird as it sounded, Lola knew, according to her logic, she knew the Core General couldn't even trust them to the extent.
"Lola, I understand that you're not trusting me with the fact that in a year or so the Bloodlust are going to make a move, but if you intend to kill me as well as Tornado, neither of you are any different from the Bloodlust Revelation," Shiver stood behind the desk. Mind-pounded by what she's expressing. "Whatever went down with the former head-administrator of GG wasn't my fault. I was just another agent working for them before I was promoted to this stage."
Lola couldn't tell if Shiver was ultimately lying or telling the truth. But all she knew was that she had to ask the questions she considered 'big questions.' "Now I have something else to ask of you, Shiver."
"Please make it quick, I'm have another meeting to attend tonight and fighting you isn't on my schedule and it'll never be," Shiver spoke arrogantly. She then relaxed and realize Lola wouldn't intentionally attack unless she was being struck first.
Lola placed her sword to her side and thought of being rational for once, "Some of the agents that were working for you last year, some of them have been missing for the last seven months and it's like you don't know your people any better than I do because they strongly play the loyalty card instead of showing you who they really are and who they cook for. The question I happen to ask you, how many of your people have been working as an undercover for the Bloodlust Revelation and Black Widow organizations?"
Tornado had the same expression, but stood behind his original perspective on Shiver. He then began to have some notifications from his warriors that when they were assigned to missions regarding those two organizations, he was told after their return that there were some notable people working for the GG that formed an alliance with the two infamous entities.
Shiver thought of staying honest instead of lying about reality.. It became very vague that she remembered ever assigning any of those people to the missions that Lola and Tornado accused her of.
"I can't lie to you, but I have no knowledge of the whole system. For all I know, there could have been people who were Head-Admins prior to me that might've changed so numerous aspects of the Globe Government. Some of them had been on missions for, all I've known, a year. Maybe even more," Shiver proclaimed. It wasn't as suspicious as she could understand. "Had I known this for the longest time, even as me being an agent, I would have figured it out. But the only theory that I can give you is the fact that there were times, when Diamond was in charge, even tried to warn me that there a lot of soldiers and agents betraying the army."
Tornado then added before he altered back into his human state, "Shiver, I've known you since you were a just a gal. But you and Mizuka are still youngsters in my book. But I'll give myself the chance to entrust your knowledge of this company; since you still have a lot of to learn about working with the Globe Government. I'll be taking my leave, but don't think that I won't be having my eyes on you. Because I will. I'm not sure about Mizuka, but she'll be tailing your ass every step of the way if it comes to that."

Shiver and Ivy had busted through one of the enlarged sand dune yellow doors that's already been crumbling. It was thanks to eruption on the upper levels where the battle is continuing. What they didn't expect was for the Intoxian Army to show up of it's own occur. Hence that it took a series of all people of different rankings that's beneath the Major Generals to step up to the plate this time.
"Shiver, I need to use your ice powers for a bit. It won't take that long," Ivy jerked the Aruba administrator toward to another end of the hall. They saw a series of Nova Whales swimming them were over nineteen feet long and weighed at over two-thousand pounds.
"What do you need it for?" Shiver felt enthusiastically perplexed by the idea Ivy might've had. "If you're thinking about doing something so reckless, then let it be known that it was nice working with you."
Giggling lightly for she wouldn't be heard, Ivy placed her hand on the woman's right shoulder and gave out a strong glare at the Aruba fighter, "How long has it been since you've ice skated as a kid?"
Shiver's nerves had been stung gradually; concluding that Ivy's a lot more intelligent than from when she first joined the Intoxian Army.
"Oh..." Shiver's face began to warm up. "According to what I did get from
the past year of what the inside of Leserado looked like, there is a humongous slide straight at the other end of the hall. But how the fuck do we get past these big ass creatures if they're going to start tailing us?"

Chapter 44 - Son Of The Phoenix Queen
***
Crystal had unsheathed her sword, watching as she saw nothing but clear darkness growing grittier. She's constantly been hearing Black's dark wisdom of how life is capable of destroying the mind of a child.
The one thing that you should know about Death, Crystal. It's unstoppable, Black didn't think twice of exposing the child to something very diabolical.
I guess it may take some time before Lola gets here with the others to confront me head-on. There's no chance in hell that I can forgive someone whose constantly lied to me because of their own selfish goals, Crystal was stuck in the state to where she was incapable of having a small speck of silver light.
She felt the ground beneath her feet trembling in terms of the chaotic battle occuring on the lower levels.
"Seems that it won't be much longer before Lola and the rest shows up," Crystal said outloud. She then thought of something opstimistic, The Diary Symbols have been weaved in from one Aruba to the next. Perhaps I should strategize how I'm going to use it if I want to kill Lola the way that satisfies me. Perhaps Black can help out. Wait, he's in the middle of a--
Battle? Black's linked his Energy Signal to listen on what Crystal was thinking about. Don't worry, young one. I haven't engaged in the situation yet. I'm still awaiting the arrival of Lola. I will give her, your childhood classmates and Hiba a pass to come and see you. But in the meantime, you just keep an eye on Kuronina. She'll be ready to be reanimated before the Diary Symbols are released.

Descending upon the entrance of Leserado, Sonya's expression had told an even greater that the other four couldn't. It was complete trauma and horrorr growing. She felt her hands nearly opening consistently.
Lola noticed it. She placed her hand on the seventeen year-old's shoulders and was looked up to by her azure blue eyes.
"Sonya, baby. Listen to me, I knew you were going to be scared. But in life you'll have to learn in how to step up to the plate and remind the devil that you fear no evil. That's goes for the rest of yous," Lola stated. She then turned around and noticed that the others were glancing at the Core General.
"Lieutenant Hinura," Lola stated without gawking over at her.
"General Mizuka," Hiba said while preparing her sword and was ready for a massive battle.
"I'm going to try and force my way through some of Black's minions. You're in charge of the group until Shizuka, Tornado and Brook all show up," Lola ordered. "I'll have to be aware that there's a variety of obstacles that is difficult to cross over."
"This may sound a bit too unorthodox, General. But what if they don't show up and they still got their hands full with other members of the Bloodlust Revelation?" Hiba had a good point. She felt her senses tingling.
"If it comes to that conclusion, then it'll be just us. You and I talked about this, Liuetenant. If plan A doesn't work, the alphabet has twenty-five more letters to back it up and we just have to execute it properly. Black may be the type to think one step ahead of everyone else, but as far as alliance goes, he doesn't have what it it takes to rely on his comrades. Now, you and the others stay down here. I'll go get Crystal back."
"Your orders have been confirmed, General," Hiba saluted as well as the others had.
Now that they've been taken care of, I can try and do whatever it takes to get the bottom of this, Lola thought to herself as she prepared her weapon and was determined to clear a pathway for the soldiers to get through as she made snakes her way to reach Blue-Eyes Fortress.
She unsteathed her sword from behind her back and summoned a huge pillar of flames to knock down the main entrance of the gate. But before Lola could proceed, she then noticed something awfully suspicious. None of Black's soldiers were on the outside for the soldiers to deal with while the others head to the upper levels of Leserado.
"Alright, everyone. As the General said, she's going to create a passage for us to get through since these guys are small fries to her. Once that's been taken care of, she'll have to fight her way through the upper levels of Leserado in order to reach the Blue-Eyes Fortress. So it's up to us to enhance the capability to support the General."
***
Entering upon the forbidden Tomb of Leserado, the results of what had occured became of something unexpected. A series of corpses from multiple warriors of six Core Bloodlines were scattered all over the place. Lola was more shocked than anyone.
This might've been Black's doing, Lola assumed. The weird thing that didn't seem very clear to her was the way in how she was expected to make an opening for her team to ensure that they're the ones taking over most of the levels as they advanced even further.
"Since I knew that you were on the verge of keeping things going like this, Lola. I knew you'd wanted to see Crystal again so badly, you'd go to the extent to end the battle when it's only just begun. It's easily a damn shame that you continue to pursuit your job over your family. Ironically enough, it served you right. For now, thinking about the results of what happens to those close to you when you pick a job over a family," came the Reaper's voice from up on one of the platforms of the entrance level.
Looking up in brute anger, the General's emotions kicked into high gear. She had been strong enough to block of her human side in favors of being the leader without exception.
"Crystal awaits your arrival, Core General Mizuka. But the one thing that you should do is go ahead and explain to your son what happened to you that night," Black had finally given Lola chance after chance to expose Hitachi that she was a victim of something he never thought he'd hear. "It's for the best, Lola. Perhaps your son isn't brave enough to handle something this gruesome."
"Hey, Hitachi, you know what's the coolest thing about your mother?" Lisa bellowed with her wings spreading out as she jumped downward to the battlefield. She couldn't bear the secrets and the purpose of what Lola truly is in the Bloodlust Revelation eyes. "Hitachi. Did you know that you're the son of the Mizuka Phoenix Queen?"
Brushed emotionally by the harsh words from Lisa that didn't sound very accurate. There were some time ago that Hitachi and Lola talked about her failure to go into detail with how she was on the verge of committing suicide because of her emotional and stressful status at the time.
Lola's face completely drawn out without a face being noticed. She could feel the heat increasing dramatically with her palms soothingly dripping out blood. The vision in the Core General's eyes continued to increase horrendously.
There were several colors of aura cacooning Lola's body as she clutched her fist aggressively. Her teeth binded tightly as she kept her mouth. A mixture of rose madder, rose taupe red-orange, harvard crimson and dark candy apple red.
"Hitachi, the one thing that I loved about your mother was her body and how we fucked her silly," Lisa's eyes were hungry and saw nothing but her blood developing strongly. "Come on, Lola. Tell your son and everyone close to you that we raped you. Tell your beloved son, Mizuka. I could still taste that flavored juice from you that night. It was pretty fun watching you suffer screaming and pleading anyone to save you. A beloved husband not there to protect you."
Hitachi's jaws dropped. His mind took a turn that he never knew would go. All the eighteen years of trying to figure out his mom. He's been told a lot of things about her life and why she acted the way she does. Approaching the red-haired leader with sharpness shaving his chest, Lola's son didn't know what to utter.
What Lola's told him was that she only stayed this way was her character to encourage people to thrive for something they desperately want, even if it's only temporarily. Sadly, getting the inner thoughts and complex reality of what his mother's been through, Hitachi's unleashed his sword out of determination and brute force.
"Uh-
oh. Someone's 'bout reached his breaking points," Lisa laughter had drove the others on the opposite side through the wall of annoyance. "Come on, Hitachi. release it. Release all your turmoil. You know that you won't be able to defend your mother's biased ways of inspiring your character even more. She was fingered. Well, actually I did that, but still though, it would make sense if she told you herself--"
"Shut up," Hitachi said. After staying silent for over ten seconds with Lisa still smiling, proudly patting herself on the shoulder for what they accomplished just eleven months before he was born.
Rarely, Hitachi felt the temperature of his body booming. He felt delusional with his body acting on it's own.
Black had allowed the organization's succubus to pursuit her exploit of the young man's disapproval. He knew that it was a part of Lisa's planning to see the Raging Transformation. Staring directly at the enraged son of the Core General.
"Lisa," Black bellowed from the upper level. "You know all too well what his weakness is. Exploit it without mercy."
Lisa exclaimed harshly with her eyes widening with greed for excitement and bloodshed. The adrenaline corrupted her head entirely with each phrase. "Yes, Hitachi. Now that I think about it. I can name all of the things. Fingering her, playing with his nipples, enjoying her womb, the list goes on, baby. We've beaten her, whipped her."
Hitachi was on the verge of charging at the succubus with hatred. His sight had been painted with nothing but flames and blood impacting his vision of what he's going to accomplish; if it's possible for him to do so.
Hitachi snapped, grasping his sword. What he never knew was that the others witnessing his character and how it progressed thoroughly as he became madder. "You... You raped my mother? And you laugh at a person's suffering like that?"
"Yup. I don't really see what the big deal of raping people is," Lisa cocked her eyes. This pissed off the forces of light even more with Lisa's immorality of committting a disgusting crime.
