As the crew questioned the other people present, the agents were able to piece together that their client was in the doctors office down the hall. Once meeting their client who happened to be a reporter, Maya Amano, the group quickly were briefed on the situation at the hospital. The Pediatric Ward in the floor below had been plagued by a monster named Der Kindestod. On the third night, the monster would appear and take the soul of the child to the land of the dead.

Once in the hall, agent Faustlin used his infared to see monsters incoming behind them.

Ryoku injected himself with a flu virus and Sailor Vega refused healing. A girl then alarmed the agents that her friend was being attacked in one of the rooms which had the agents immediately heading to her room. Inside the room, Luca tried to pull the girl away from the ground where she was apparently stuck.
- Ryoku, who was sick, was able to see what was binding her to the floor (Kindestod's fingers), severed the binds and Luca took the girl to safety. The Agents then disposed of the Kindestod who then became visible and had a striking resemblence of the Erlking, whom agents Faustlin and Mai/Vega had fought before.

- The hall was filled with abominations and Panzer Demons, cybernetic Nazi Supersoldiers. After a vicious battle, the agents made their way into the higher room where they confronted Andrei Konstantin, the vampire sorceress Laura, and the pustulant Harry.

Laura caused major damage to Aku, while Harry fought off with Vaelgir Stormblade, and Andrei was left to fend off the two holy empowered warriors, until the agents were close to victory.
- However, Ain appeared like a flash, saving the vampires from almost certain death, and then critically wounded Aku. Sof then showed up to defend Ain from Tonic, before they and the vampires escaped to a portal outside in the courtyard, which vanished when they were through, leaving agents with many destroyed supplies but no confirmed vampire kills.

During the confrontation with the three, the elevator opened, carrying Kraken, who used a rocket launcher on them. Being wounded, Kraken was told to escape while Anton and Sister Red stayed behind, besieged by Ryosuke and Kaoru.

Black Mage No. 125 explained that one of the old black mage factories was rumored to have been started up again and reproducing more of their kind. This news particularly bothered Agent Letty. The agents were asked to NOT destroy the factory as it could endanger their entire village. Once outside of the Tavern that they were briefed at (and after an unfortunate dance), the agents proceeded to the factory. After investigating, it was shown that the factory was still reproducing black mages.

- Location: Libria
- Client: High Councilor Brand
- Status: Closed
- Synopsis: Before going on this particular mission, Celeste Laurent arrived to warn the agents that the destination (Libria) was going to be a big culture shock and to not be alarmed.
[show details]
- The agents took in this information and then found themselves in front of a massive, Grecian-styled building known as the Metatron Clergy. People were oddly walking in robotic, filed lines with a few officers scouting and making sure everything was going smoothly. One of the officers, Cleric Aldebaran, noticed the group and paid particular attention to agent Faustlin and Agent Luca after scoping all of them with his visor/helmet. Apparently after viewing them, he recognized Faustlin as an Incandescent, Luca as a Cleric, Kenji, Sachiko, Shiro, and Jackal as Spectra, and Izumi as a Pet. Once the agents informed Cleric Aldebaran that they were there to see High Councilor Brand, Aldebaran took the agents inside the Metatron Clergy and to Brand's office. Inside Brand's office (which was very grandiose and with a dark-haired girl sleeping on a pillow), Brand brought up the problem that Libria was facing. Apparently a rebel group, known as the A-lites, were planning to bomb a medicinal factory that would destroy their way of life.
- Agent Sachiko questioned what exactly their way of life was and Brand explained that wars had ruined their world and brought humanity to the brink of extinction. Now, humans were genetically altered and cloned.. and then stratified by hair color. The Incandescents were the blond, strategic leaders who made moral decisions for the rest of the people. The Clerics were silver-haired warriors who fought to uphold peace and justice within Libria. The Spectra were the civilians that were able to live in peace, however giving up their emotions of anger, fear, greed, and so on... and finally there were the Anchroma, dark-haired, genetic botches who were not disposed and rather given a choice to work or be cared for as a pet to the Incandescents. In order for the society to function the way that it does, the people of Libria would take doses of Chloropromazium to suppress their emotions... only the Incandescents were shouldered with the "burdened" of feeling.
- Brand stated that he did not expect PARADIGM to get involved with their culture or their beliefs.. however, there had been interdimensional traces of others coming to their world.. and possibly coming to take Chloropromazium for themselves and aiding the A-lites in destroying the factory. The only duty the agents had was to prevent the destruction, because if the building was taken down it would cause the death of many innocent Librians. Agent Jackal asked for a map of the factory and then the agents were then provided transportation to the complex. Many clerics were already posted at the entrances so the agents focused their protection at the top floor where the factory's power core was located. Only moments of arriving the onslaught began. Power armors were going up the stairs and a heat signature was going up the de-powered elevator shaft. Jackal, Luca, Sachiko and Kenji took care of the power armors while Faustlin monitored the cameras. Agents Shiro and Izumi watched over the elevator shaft. After taking care of one of the Power Armors down the stairs.. the other Power Armor began trying to self destruct after clamping its arms onto the stair railings. The agents tried to destroy the arms, however with the final push to break the last arm the explosion went off, burning Kenji.
- Not giving too much time to recover, the elevator shaft was opened and out came a biological weapon, The Tyrant, which was reminiscent of their battles in Operation #6 where the agents encountered biological weapons in Nevada. The Tyrant had a weak point in its chest and the agents focused their firepower on it. Finally after pushing the Tyrant all the way to the back to the edge of the open Elevator duct, Kenji cut out the Tyrant's heart and Jackal and Faustlin fired grenades and shots to knock the Tyrant down to its death. After the death of the Tyrant, the agents were forwarded a video message by a man named Benzin W. Schugerg who relayed that even though they had stopped the destruction of the building, the Chloropromazium would be acquired through different means. Benzin also voiced that he had ties to Operation #6's Anton.. which somewhat explained the access to the Tyrant.
- The agents were then taken back to the Metatron Clergy where the reunited with Brand who was overseeing a complex training course where the Clerics were mixing martial arts with gun fighting. Brand voiced with genuine appreciation that he was grateful of the aid of PARADIGM and they would be welcome to return if they so wished it and also asking if Faustlin would be alright letting him have genetic samples of his pet, Izumi... or even Sachiko and Jackal. Faustlin left it up to the ladies who them quickly voiced 'no'. The agents were then allowed to go back to the Epoch and return home.

The place was overgrown with vegetation but there wasn't an animal around. Hitomi Uzumaki noticed a trail, and started following it, around a lake of tar, where they eventually came across a building.
- In said building were what can only be described as zombies, held together with some non fleshy substance, later identified as the Tendou Jigoku. After a breif skirmish in which Kamuro Ishigami was wounded, the zombies were taken care of, but the situation had gotten more dire. Following the trail all the way to the central tower in the lake of tar, which was mostly collapsed. However, the doors had been blown open.. from the inside.
- Once inside, they made their way to the sewage system and encountered a shapeless mass which attacked them on sight, and after tasting some of agent Kamuro's blood, took on a more humanoid shape. The creature displayed amazing physical and energy projection capabilities, and was regenerating from even Cait Sith's gatling gun attacks. After severely damaging the robot, the Tendou Jigoku remains were finally destroyed when agent Aku released the black dragon, which swallowed up the creature, and collapsed the rest of the tower as the agents made their way out. Agent Shinra has discovered that whatever DNA was in the creature was a mixture of all sorts of animals and vegetation.

The group laid an ambush, and defeated a quartet of humanoid monsters called Zoanoids. While Toki Stingray and Miyabi Uzumaki sought out an underground lab, the other fought Zerbebuth, who was in charge of the facility, and defeated him with their combined efforts, thanks in no small part to Luca Sparda.

Once inside the room they saw that it was filled the statues, one of the figures was half stone and asleep (presumably the figure who ran in there in the first place). Immediately after the agents discovered the statues, a large, horrific Neo-Remnant named McDonald entered into the room with an unconscious girl. All agents except for Drake tried to hide. After demanding that McDonald step down and his refusal, agents became aware that the Medusa Stone was in fact inside the crotch area of McDonald's swimsuit.
- From a debilitating attack from Zero, Drake, and Kouhei.. Zero was able to mug the stone from McDonald's ...area. Galvan was then able to attack McDonald from the rear, causing him to dissipate from the power of the Bokku no Sword that was given to him temporarily by Hazumi. Neo Sailor Saturn was then able to put a barrier to protect the statue girls from damage while Sailor Moon healed them and Sailor Sirius was able to bring them back to consciousness. Afterwards, the agents took the stone and the girls back on the bus and returned to the school relatively unscathed.. except for Agent Kouhei who had somehow been graffiti'd on while unconscious.

Upon entering the castle, the group found themselves trapped inside due to a mysterious growing wall of flesh that was previously thought to be inert, but came active after Luca touched it. Yoshino saw some disturbing things as they began to explore.
- Venturing into the castle, they ran into some giant spiders that tried to eat Letty, but was saved by a decisive attack by Aku. After a quick trade of blows, the spiders quickly fell. Further into the castle, they discovered a dug out tunnel and decided to descend through it. Tonic slipped and ended up sending everyone tumbling through the tunnel until they landed in a long prison-like corridor full of water. Upon discovering a monster that could not be seen or physically attacked in the water, the team clung to the walls of the hallway, trying various attacks but failing. Vaelgir buffed Tonic in the middle of her attacks, which caused the floor to collapse and drain the water out. Hien lead the team to safety on the same floor.

One vision included a sacred wooden arc, stained with fresh blood and monsters wiping out everything and everyone. Izumi saw more visions, including a man with a sword in a fight with a man wielding flames.
- A military soldier, thinking they were civilians, interrupted the agents before they could reflect upon the visions they just witnessed. After a small altercation, an officer that knew of PARADIGM told the soldier to leave. The officer identified himself as one of the NSPA (National Safety Protection Agency), Chief Officer Chikanaga. He explains to the group that monsters have rampaging the streets of Tokyo. Their level of technology was ineffective in dealing with the monsters, so Chikanaga pleaded with the agents to try instead.
- The agents head out in two light armored vehicles(LAV) to their destination. Along the way they were ambushed by one of the 88 Beasts known as Shokohone and his minions (a group of mythical Kappas). The LAVs were easily overturned and the agents had to flee the vehicles. Daichi made sure that the LAV drivers were fine while the rest of the group went to engage the Kappas. Finding ki blasts and fire super effective on the Kappas, the group made quick work of the minions and turned their attention to Shokohone.
- The big beast had various attacks at its disposal (LASER BEAMS) as well as tough armor. Dark flew in to pick up Izumi to save her from trouble, which lead to aerial assaults on Shokohone. Jackal and Faustlin proceeded to snipe at Shokohone to try to penetrate the armor while Zack and Aku attempted some melee, with the addition of his legendary black flames. After a sudden and surprising backup from Ryosuke, Shokohone's armor cracked enough for an all out combined attack from Ryosuke, Izumi and Aku which devastating Shokohone. Kamen and Aku proceeded to use their flames on Shokohone's remains to make sure nothing was left.
- The agents continued on to the rendezvous point, meeting up with a group calling themselves the Shiranami Five (Jyuzo, Hinomoto, Rihei, Kikunosuke & Rikimaru). The Shiranami Five asked for help with capturing a giant beast named Noro. The beast was subdued very quickly after a combined attack. The agents witnessed Jyuzo's power of body manipulation as he merged his body with Noro to control the beast. Something was calling out to Izumi and she suddenly had an urge to approach Noro. Kamen tried to pull her back, but was repelled by a sudden attack from a Jyuzo-controlled Noro.
- The Shiranami Five showed their true intentions of taking Izumi, turning on the agents and starting an all-out fight. Rihei tied Izumi up with some weird tentacles that immediately sapped her strength. Belle showed up out of nowhere to try to take Izumi back, but Rihei was still able to retreat with Izumi in hand. Daichi, Faustlin and Jackal tried to pursue Rihei, but Hinomoto's falmes blocked their path. When it seemed like Rihei for sure had gotten away, he suddenly returns with Izumi. A man known as Higa arrived right after Rihei along with a woman known as Kaede. Higa explained they wanted Izumi for her BLOOD, and that with it, they would be able to revive all 88 Beasts to unleash upon the world to purge it of the akahani (human) filth in order to have the Kegai no Tami clans have a fresh start in a new world.
- The agents tried to engage Higa but they quickly found themselves trapped by Higa's attack known as the Fire Seeds (which Kamen took great note to copy for his own personal use). Any movement would cause the thousands of tiny seeds hanging in the air to burn then explode rapidly. Out of nowhere, a man known as Kamuro Ishigami showed up, cutting Izumi free from Rihei and landing next to Higa to challenge the Man of Fire. With some quick thinking, Ryosuke dropped everyone underground while Izumi summoned Leviathan to wash the battlefield with waves of water. Higa blocked the attack, but instead of pressing his advantage, he told the agents he would retreat and try again another day. Ain showed up to escort Higa and Lady Kaede from the battlefield, along with their henchman.
- With the threat gone, Kamuro vowed to protect Izumi from Higa and the Shiranami Five. Kamuro was not traveling alone as a girl known as Beniguma and her pet dog Lancelot was waiting for Kamuro and the agents. The group head back safely to the Epoch to find Celeste waiting there. She took a moment to ask Kamuro and Beniguma if they would join PARADIGM since they were following the group back to the Inn. Kamuro accepted the Celeste's terms. Daichi carried Izumi back to her room to let her have much needed rest.

Moving past the fight location, they made their way into the temple at the center of the island, where the group was infiltrated by still more angels, impersonating agents Izumi Saotome and Sachiko Uchiha.

The agents agreed and accepted the book which was titled, The Great Tragedy. Once they began reading, the agents then found themselves in a limbo area with a crossroad sign for East, West, North, and South. Before the agents could make the decision on where to go, Nya appeared along with a set of strange cards.
Each agent selected a card and received a role in the story; Loki chose to the Prince, Aimi Utada chose to be the Witch, Venus Highwind chose to be the Protector, Kia Kiske chose to be the Sister, Takeo Masaki chose to be the Brother, Maggie chose to be the Daughter, Izumi became the Nun, Alys Ashley became the Lover, and Hikari Kouda chose to be the Sailor. Nya offered to explain the roles they had chosen and Loki found out he was an exiled Prince whose Uncle had slain his father and married his mother, Kia and Takeo were actually lovers in an incestuous relationship and Venus was their family protector, Hikari was a sailor who had been betrayed by her best friend and her lover, Alys, had married him instead, and Maggie was the daughter of a legendary Hero who had decided to dump her mother for a younger bride. Izumi and Aimi did not get details of their roles and decided to continue anyway.
The group decided to start their adventure in the land of the South, so the agents appeared there. Things were being prepared for a grand wedding of the Hero and a nobleman's daughter. Many villagers seemed happy to see Maggie because of her role as the Hero's daughter, but they seemed disgusted at the presence of Aimi. The agents were then told that it would be a good idea to see the princess before her wedding.. the agents decided that would be a good idea because the magical marker was probably in that area. Once inside the castle, the group met a very dense.. princess. As she blabbered on about how she was excited to be Maggie's new stepmother, the other agents noticed that there was a switch on the bookcase of her wall and a magical presence behind it. Maggie helped get the princess out of the room and then everyone was able to go through the hidden passage beyond the bookcase.
The agents walked through the passage and entered into another bedchamber.. and before long the Hero appeared and attacked Aimi. He introduced himself as Spiros Thebes and blamed Aimi for the death of his son and the poisoning of his bride. Takeo realized that the tragedy they were replaying was very close to Jason of the Argonauts and his story with Medea. Maggie also realized that the ring on Spiros' finger was the magical marker they were looking for. Venus, Kia, Alys, and Izumi then used magical attacks on Spiros as he decided to attack Aimi once more.. and then Loki and Aimi were able to knock him down and put him to sleep. Takeo also successfully used a stun weapon to make sure he was debilitated. Hikari removed Spiros' ring and then Nya reappeared and offered to help the agents return. After a few words, Maggie was able to cleanse the ring and the group returned back to the cottage where Uzura was waiting for them. After that the agents went to the Epoch (and sending Neko-sensei away for a latte) and then went home.

Making their way in with information provided by the contact, they had to help with dishes, and then went on to look for Sister Arikel, indicated to be the most knowledgeable nun at the moment.
- After contact with the sister, and a few questions, she saw through the ruse when agent Jackal reacted in a compromising manner to Sister Arikel mentioning the Lumen Sages. A brief skirmish began at that point, but she was frozen by Shiva. Leaving the library, the agents made their way downstairs, to where they had heard a dungeon was in the cellar. Agent Fatima found the hidden switch, but then the other agents just shoved the wine case aside. Stepping into the dungeon, they snuck up on Sister Grimheld and Sister Jezebel, guarding a cell. Agent Fatima attempted a deception, but agent Jackal's use of a firearm was noticed by the preternaturally aware Sister Jezebel. A brief fight broke out, with agent Saotome putting Jezebel asleep, and with Shiva freezing Sister Grimheld. The agents then got Father Blake out of the dungeon, and ran back to the Epoch.

- Rank: C
- Genre: Adventure/Fantasy
- Location: Metalicanna
- Client: Avygeil
- Status: Closed
- Synopsis: The group arrived in the wild areas outside of Metallicana, specifically, outside of a small little village that looked pillaged and destroyed.
[show details]
- A large woman came to join up with them and promptly Mai Kaneda pulled off her wig. The woman seemed impressed with their quick perception and then her head opened like in Total Recall, unveiling Avygeil. Avygeil then took the agents to his underground lair to further explain the details of the mission. When in the lair he explained that a band of orcs had attacked the village while he was gone and somehow broke into his lair and stole an ancient piece of technology. When he brought up the tech that the orcs stole up a giant holo screen, some of the agents recognized it as an Atomic Bomb.
- Avygeil then offered weapons to the agents in order to aid them in the retrieval. Agent Nikolai chose the elven blade, Aleesa Kupa and Mai, Aimi Utada, and Sagiko Tsukino decided to take Hammer Henshin Wands. Tsuchida Midori, Hikari Kouda, and Cait Sith decided to pass on the weapons.. though Cait Sith seemed interested in transformation (Though Avygeil said that robots cannot transform). The group then left outside of the lair where a tamed Gryphon was waiting for them, Avygeil wished them all luck saying that he could not come with them or else his close proximity might activate the elven tech (Since.. somehow he was an elf).
- The agents climbed aboard the Gryphon and then headed off to search for the Orcs. The Agents eventually found the Orcs marching and decided to land off to the side in order to surprise them. Everyone stepped out of the carriage but Cait Sith landed a little too loudly because of its size, causing the Orcs to be aware of their presence. Sailor Sirius quickly used a sleeping technique and the marching then stopped. The Agents proceeded closer and decided the best course of action was to kill the orcs or else they would no doubt go and pillage, rape, and destroy other innocent people. The orcs were asleep holding their weapons and a giant 'carriage' where the agents guessed that the Atomic Bomb was held. The agents first attacked the orcs holding the carriage, easily killing those four.
- However, the Orcs then dropped the carriage and caused the remaining Orcs to wake up. A battle then ensued between all of the agents and the Orcs, but slowly and surely the Agents were able to take care of all of them and get to the carriage to reclaim the bomb. On top of the bomb was a little Fairy (whom called herself Leila). The fairy insulted the agents and continued to brag about being the mastermind of the entire thing. Sailor Sirius, who had gone invisible from the training with the Viz-Viz Fruit, grabbed Leila. Leila was shocked that they were able to break through the barrier and attributed it to the aided weapons and devices given to them by Avygeil.
- Avygeil then appeared at that moment with a jar for Leila to live in and a blue orb to safely house the bomb. Sailor Procyon used the orb to house the bomb and then Avygeil took both Leila and the bomb back. The agents then returned to the Epoch on the Gryphon and then went home.

When the agents arrived they were able to see Hazumi's adopted brother, Takumi (he was previously known as the Key to the Gate), and he was unfortunately still in a coma. Hazumi then explained to the agents that another Demon Stone had been found but the location was outside of the Guardians jurisdiction. The place in question was a Spa known as Venus Envy, known for their Peach Tea Bath, Peppermint Silk Bath, and the Scrotes Masseuse Bath (Don't ask). The agents then left and returned to Hime's bus and she took them to the outskirts of town where the limits of the Rainbow Bridge stood. The agents then proceeded to go to the spa and were greeted by a hostess.
- The hostess then lead them to a communal changing area and offered the patrons all towels. The agents then were able to relax in various baths.. though after a while a few agents noticed that the bath had hypnotic properties that made them want to just soak there permanently, particularly agents Hien Hayaboshi, Kia Kiske and Hayate Uzumaki. Kia was urged out of the bath and agent Izumi helped drag Hayate and Hien out. The agents then left and proceeded to go to the final room, an area called the Love Love Bath. When the group entered the room they saw the director of the spa, General Circe who was sitting on the desk and appeared to be a very voluptuous woman. After trying to bribe the agents to stay with her and remain as her faithful piglets, a few agents were temporarily swayed but then snapped out of it and told Circe No. Circe was then angered and reverted to his true form... much to the horror of the agents. Meanwhile, Agent Galvan Swiftblade had been hiding in the shadow of Circe, trying to examine a weak point.
- Tonic started the attack and at first Circe seemed to be deflecting everything, even bouncing lightning bolts from Xander Dreyar off of his form. Things started to escalate as Circe used a powerful shrieking spell and turned a few of the agents into cute piglets. After brandishing the Bokku no Sword, Tonic aided by all of the other agents were able to knock Circe down and lose the lower half of his body. Galvan then stated that the stone was located in Circe's eye. Circe did a final scream attack, transforming Xander.. but not before Hayate lodged himself into Circe's mouth as a pig and then ... used a special attack. Tonic then smashed Circe's face, Galvan retrieved the stone and the agents were then able to leave the Spa successfully before the area was destroyed.
- Hime then took the agents back to the school and after relinquishing the stone to Hazumi, the group returned to the Epoch and then back to the Inn. Once the agents left the Epoch, they reverted from their pig-state back to being humans.

Kresh informed them he had fought against Vaelgir Stormblade during the Conflux and found him a man of honor. He agreed to let one of his scouts, a Nayan Elf named Illyna, lead them to the summit where he believed the ritual was to take place. He asked in return that if they found an ancient relic, an old Iron Spike, that they return it to him.
As the group ascended the mountain, they were beset by Thrinaxes - lizard-like creatures carrying swarms of living fungi called Saprolings, and Viashino - reptilian humanoids who can survive in extreme conditions.
Ascending the mountain, the group avoided an encounter with a large creature and took a shortcut to the summit. There they encountered two enemy Planeswalkers, who managed to escape after a protracted battle.
Though Nikolai implied caution when removing the spike, Cait Sith Mk. V pulled it free, awakening Vaelgir in an enraged state.
Upon peacefully subduing him, the group returned to the camp of Clan Antaga, where they returned the Quietus Spike before heading back to the Inn.

Matrix explained that a group of mutant-hunting robots called Sentinels were sent to snatch ...or even worse, destroy any mutants living in Latveria. Because of other issues, the X-Men and even her own Lord could not be bothered to deal with this and she was given information to contact PARADIGM. Matrix then gave each of the agents a microchip, explaining that with her powers of technomancy she could be able to control the Senitnels if the chips are somehow able to be inserted into the head frames of the robots. Matrix then left and shortly five sentinels were seen flying and going straight for Latveria.
- At first the Sentinels were not stopping, but Agent Izumi was able to get their attention by using her Ultima spell. The sentinels then viewed the group as a hostile force and flew down to attack them. Izumi and Zack took care of one of the sentinels, while Letty Carmichael and Xander Dreyar teamed up to electrocute the hell out of another. Nikolai was able to smash into one of the Sentinels heads and put a chip in it. Tonic's tarot card champion also showed up and helped her floor another sentinel in ice before it could attack her, and Hien Hayaboshi used his wind jutsus to sever the limbs off of the different robots. Everything was going fine but with misunderstandings, Kamen was caught under crossfire between Letty and Xander. He was able to just narrowly escape being squished and soon all the Sentinels were taken down and chipped. Sasha then returned and thanked the agents and they all went back to the Inn.

The group then continued and came upon Elizabeth's house. Elizabeth then pointed out the direction of the church and told the group that there were a bunch of presences over there that were most likely grabbing the Pyramid of Metatron in order to summon one of the elder gods. Elizabeth then gave the Tome of Eternal Darkness to Tyler to use with the explicit promise that he would give it back to her. She then marked the page for him to use one of the sanity-returning spells.
- The agents continued on, seeing another carcass of an Insane Cancer.. but before they could go further, they were ambushed by a bunch of spirit wolves, a succubus, and two Horrors. Tao Mei was hit by a strong attack from the Horrors which mostly debilitated her from fighting while everyone else was momentarily swept underneath the Succubus' thrall.. except for Nikolai and Dominic. Eventually the wolves were defeated and Tonic threw the succubus at the remaining Horrors. Meanwhile, Tyler had been punched unconscious by a Horror and an imp appeared to take the Tome away from him. Tonic, Tyler, and Dominic then chased the imp while Aku, Nikolai, Faustlin Fontaine, and Tao Mei continued to finish fighting the last Horror. Eventually getting the Tome back, the group reunited by following Tonic's trail of weapons. Things were too soon to relax though, as one of the shamans in the opposing mages group casted a spell where the ground rumbled and lava emerged separating the agents from the church. Tonic then used her tarot champion's storm spell to cool the lava.. allowing them to proceed again.
- Once on the church steps, the group was then assaulted by a magical meteor which turned into a massive, towering Infernal. Claire, Dexter Curwen, Ner'Zhul Demonhead, Kari, and Anatole Lambach then descended the steps with the Pyramid of Metatron. A brief fight ensued, having Dominic quickly steal the Pyramid before getting his face blown off by Anatole.. Aku then asked for the aid of his champion, The Broken Heart... who appeared and used his trademark move and caused the Infernal to turn into a smoldering heap. The mages after seeing that bailed, leaving the Pyramid of Metatron to the agents. The agents then returned to Elizabeth, giving her back the Tome as well as the Pyramid.

Izumi, Belle, and Hayate Uzumaki went to get some rest.. and the next day when the finals were happening, none of them showed. Kazuma Mishima, a rival team member was also missing one of his teammates. Galvan Swiftblade, Sachiko Uchiha, and Kakita Haruka then decided to step in for Izumi, Belle, and Hayate's places so that they wouldn't be disqualified. Sachiko also sent out a message to the other agents to find out what happened to the other three members after realizing that on Kai Yagami's other team members were none other than a previous enemy, Benzin W. Schugerg. Faustlin Fontaine also recognized Benzin from a video tape that they had seen in Mission #13.
- Just when the first match between Sachiko was about to happen, Belle returned to the arena saying that someone had tried to drug him with poison flowers in his room. Sachiko then continued her fight and Dark began to investigate Izumi and Hayate's rooms. The tournament continued and PARADIGM won against Team G, however before people could celebrate, Dark sent out a call to all agents (except Izumi and Hayate) that there were intruders in the basement of the hotel and they were kidnapping fighters. Faustlin, Haruka, Sachiko, Galvan, Xander Dreyar, and Kamuro Ishigami raced to the basement. Inside of the basement showed an active portal with Benzin W. Schugerg, Akari Izumi, and The Sisters... along with a Tyrant and a few soldiers. Dark was sacrificing his body to block heavy throws of boxes from going through the portal. Agents then scuffled with the intruders; Dark and Xander both taking heavy hits. Galvan was able to sink the soldiers into the ground and the agents were able to free up the kidnapped fighters. The rest of the boxes seemed to have the tournaments reward money.
- Benzin, along with the young girls, all fled through the portal.. successfully taking 5 boxes of prize money with them.. and the Tyrant. Kazuma Mishima with his G-corp soldiers arrived along with Rei Kazama. Kazuma offered aid (not too nicely) to the agents if they would give him half of the reward money.

PARADIGM was then asked to go there and disrupt a sinister spell that was being cast on the town. One of the sorcerer hunters, Carrot Glaces, was there but he was too busy being distracted agents (Aimi, Venus, Yoshino) and would not answer questions. Agent Zan then ended up using his Jagan to help get answers and found out that there were in fact three sorcerers that were in a giant, booby-trapped tower and one of the sorcerers was proficient with blades while another fought with an animal. ...the sorcerers were also very small.
- The group then continued to a portal that had been created to lead them into Bakingshire. The portal lead the agents into a tavern where all the inhabitants were under a spell induced sleep. Just outside of the tavern, the agents saw Casterly Tower which also had a barrier around it. Agent Letty Carmichael was able to deduce that the barrier was powered by three points outside of the tower, but the others decided it would be quicker to just climb the barrier since it was like a wall. Once inside the tower, the agents proceeded to the first encounter.. who ended up being the sorcerer who used blades.
- Agent Zan used his Silent Hill poison in order to disorient and confuse the sorcerer, who then leashed a counter attack that filled the room with magical, paralyzing blades. Everyone was hit except for two agents and slowly but surely Agent Letty and Agent Maggie were able to help heal everyone from their paralysis. The mini sorcerer was then bombarded with attacks from Letty and then from Cait Sith and the sorcerer ended up perishing.
- Cait Sith and Agent Hien Hayaboshi were able to pick up two of the blades from the sorcerer, which would give the paralysis effect if they used it against their enemies. The group continued on, with Agent Takeo phasing into the walls and other agents exercising extreme caution.. the result was having the next encounters become pre-emptive. After putting the second sorcerer, Minerva, asleep with her dog.. the agents proceeded to the roof of the tower where they met the final Mayflower Sorcerer, Darwin. Darwin was in front of a giant machine that was going to take all of the peoples' life-energies and in return grant him a Midas Touch ability.
- The agents then put Darwin to sleep and destroyed the barrier around the machine. Zan then used his decomposition poison to destroy the machine and urge everyone to leave as soon as possible. However, a few of the agents were too close to the poison and their clothes started to decompose as well.. causing all of the men except for Zan as well as Agent Aimi to lose their clothes. The group then hurried back to the pub since the magic spells had all been lifted with the destruction of the machine... the people in the tavern were also awake.
- Once back in the Church, the agents turned over the apprehended Mayflowers and were able to get some robes. Agent Hien also requested a special item from Big Mama to help him with the ladies, wherein he was gifted with some special champagne.

[show details]
- Nadia lead the agents inside a giant HQ building and into one of the meeting rooms where Reeve Tuesti was able to brief the agents about the possibility of WEAPON sighting and due to war conflicts in the past, it was not a good idea to mobilize with their army-- hence the request of PARADIGM's aid. The agents were then flown via chopper (by Jack Solomon) to Cosmos Canyon and from the air they were able to see a giant dust cloud, indicating a battle. The chopper landed in a clear area and Venus Highwind was able to see that there were three Ruby WEAPON-like figures (they were smaller) and a little boy.
- Immediately, Steve and Luca were able to fire some shots to get one of the WEAPON's attentions. However, due to the electrical bursts that were healing the monster, there was indication that lightning-base attacks were healing it and that unfortunately cut down some of the arsenal of agents there-- like Kia Kiske. Agent Ryosuke tried to get into contact with the boy, who seemed to be confused at the presence of the PARADIGM agents.. before Ryosuke could help the boy, he teleported out of reach and drew some suspicion. Eventually, the Agents were able to continue a massive onslaught of attacks on the WEAPONs.. even to the point of using summons like Izumi's Neo Bahamut, and Zack's Odin. Ryoku also maintained an attack on the creatures head, which caused it to fire a last minute Ruby Ray towards one of its own kind (allowing the boy an easier time to get rid of that one). Unfortunately, the Ruby Ray also hit agents Luca and Venus.. dropping them to critical health levels. Due to a previous attack on Venus, the combined trauma allowed her to use her Limit Break and allow cracking of the WEAPON's armor. Ryoku and Haruka were also able to crack more of the armor off and finally with the raw flesh of the WEAPON was exposed. By all working together, eventually all the WEAPONs were taken down. (Hien also took a photograph of Ryoku standing on the creatures head..)
- Now that things were a little calmer, the agents then talked to the young boy who introduced himself as Exodus. The boy also had some sort of sparkle-like aura that made him incredibly cute in the eyes of the female agents... which prompted Izumi to ask if the boy would like the join them. The boy then answered that he could not do that and was expected to be leaving soon. Before more could be said, Ryosuke noticed that there was some sort of room beneath the agents.. do to the gushes of subterranean air coming from where the WEAPON's tentacles were. However, all of a sudden the ground gave away and the agents fell beneath the surface. Izumi, Zack, and Hien directly fell into the Lifestream.. Ryoku dived into the water to pull them all out along with Ryosuke (who didn't dive in). The contact of the Lifestream did not affect Ryoku or Hien, but Izumi and Zack then became incapacitated and driven to a vegetable-like state due to their previous Makou-poisoning. The Turks then brought stretchers and took the two away so that the other agents could continue investigating the subterranean area that they had fallen into. It seemed to be a lab where agent Nikolai noticed that the destruction looked to be very recent. The agents then deduced that the three tanks in there most likely housed the three WEAPONs that were attacking and some file papers noted that Exodus was somehow a part of all of this.
- Agents were then taken back to Midgar with the chopper and the file papers were given to Reeve. Cloud, Zack's father, was also there and gave some insight about Izumi and Zack's condition.. saying that they needed to come out of the coma-state on their own. Nadia also mentioned that they would give a heads up to Doctor Valentine, who could possibly help the two subdued agents as well. Agents then returned to the Epoch and went back to the Inn.

- Location: Mining Colony KA-806
- Client: Dr. Anton Graves
- Status: Closed
- Synopsis: Agents were greeted by former Weyland-Yutani scientist Anton Graves, who said he had been made the Galactic Federation's liaison with PARADIGM.
[show details]
- We were informed of three hunters, nicknamed Cutter, Sniper and Lasher, and told of their habits. Agents were also told that the hunters had changed the climate controls to better suit their needs, making the bulk of the colony exceedingly hot and humid. Lasher and Sniper assaulted the party in the Ore Processing Plant. Agent Sachiko landed the final blow on Sniper, bisecting him, as Fakir impaled Lasher on another Hunter's combi stick. In a last ditch effort, Lasher activated his self destruct, but was contained by Galvan. Cutter was waiting for the party in central control, leaping into melee combat with the entire party until it was finally overpowered, the final blow being struck by Agent Galvan, who claimed the hunter's wristblades as a trophy.
Operation #48: Homecoming
- Description: 'I finally did it! I found her! I found Revision Two - Letty's sorta-half sister and my first android! We've got to get her before someone else does!'
- Rank: D (Upgraded to C)
- Genre: Action/Sci-Fi
- Location: Abandoned Space Station
- Client: Jach Swiftblade
- Status: Closed
- Synopsis: Agents arrived in an abandoned space station, out in the middle of uncharted space.
[show details]
- The area was broken and battered, with asteroid parts and metal everywhere. It looked like it had been abandoned for some time, but not too long - a terrarium was found with plants that weren't entirely old and withered.
- The party eventually found Revision Two's room, and, not far from that...Revision Two herself, who showed immediate signs of mental instability not at all in line with what Jach had previously mentioned to her, along with a spark of energy arcing across her neck. She immediately knocked Letty Carmichael out using a blast of energy, and the fight occurred not too long after that.
- The party was overwhelmed nearly from the start with Revision Two's speed, strength, and her ability to heal via nanomachines - with Suzume Yamida suffering initial chest injuries and Izumi overcome with a powerful energy assault at point blank range, Kakita Haruka was nearly left to solo the young android until a timely EMP blast from Lucy managed to buy enough time to begin a withdrawal. Suzume and Izumi valiantly attempted to get Letty to safety while Haruka and Lucy struggled to keep Revision Two's monstrous power at bay - it cost Haruka her sword and Lucy the grisly sight of Revision Two ripping her leg off to give chase. Unfortunately, Revision Two possessed control of ferrofluid, which the facility was made of - when Letty came to, the floor swept him away, and Revision Two shortly afterward. The structure began to collapse, and the party, injured, managed to get away...without Letty. He and Revision Two remain...gone.

- Status: Closed
- Participants:
- Synopsis: The agents were called to the Metropolis Chinatown PD, where they were contacted by Detective John Jones, who revealed himself to be the founding member of the Justice League, the Manhunter from Mars.
[show details]
- He explained the situation of Exobyte heroes and the war with Brainiac, then explained that currently the JLA was stretched too thin to investigate a possible breakout in Stryker's Island Penitentiary, which is why they contacted PARADIGM.
- The agents went to Stryker's island and witnessed some odd things outside, and when they went in, things got even odder. Guards and prisoners alike attacked them in a frenzy, and agent Naomi thrice succumbed to bloodlust, suggesting it was being induced. They met a guard in the First Security Sector who had resisted the frenzy, and after clearing that room, he acted as their navigator. In this room, agent Venus Highwind fell prey to the bloodlust along with agent Naomi, which the guard suggested was the work of Gorilla Grodd, a super-intelligent psychic Gorilla.
- Pushing further, the agents encountered metahuman prisoners, who challenged them to a gladiator style duel. When the agents defeated their opponents, the bloodlust once again rose up and agents had to be shocked out of it. In the maximum security sector, however, things got more serious, as the Rogues had escaped their containment. Agents had to contend with Captain Cold, Weather Wizard, Mirror Master and Heat Wave, enemies of the hero known as the Flash. After a hard battle in which agent Tonic was severely burned and had to be immediately healed by agent Ryosuke.
- Once they were past the Rogues, defeated by a divide and conquer strategy, they pressed on to face Gorilla Grodd, who's psychic dampeners had, in fact, increased his psychic abilities. He freed his Gorilla troopers, then sent them after the agents. After dispatching the Gorillas, they had to face the super powerful Grodd, who made several agents kneel before Grodd. Those who resisted, however, had attacked him and the fight began in earnest. Grodd sought to defeat them with a psychic projection, but agent Nikolai's sword defeated it and damaged Grodd. After dealing with the psychic feedback, the agents piled onto Grodd and though the fight was rough, they prevailed.
- On the way out, another hero flew in to take care of the rest of the odd doll-like automatons outside, and the agents were told by the Martian Manhunter they may be contacted again.

<toggledisplay>
- Apparently there was a grand-scale attack going on the planet that was happening from three fronts. The attack was theorized to damage the planet and enable whoever was at the center of the damage to gain god-like powers. The World Regenesis Organization had armies to keep Ain and his group at bay just outside of Midgar, however there were attacks happening from the Moon as well as disturbances from the North Crater. A handful of agents were selected to go to the moon which included: Cordelia Harvey, Seijou Yuzaki, Aimi Utada, Letty Carmichael, Prae Shinra, and Maggie.
- On the moon, the Agents found a small station with a huge weapon that was similar to the one that the Sailor Senshi had to deal with in a prior conflict and ultimately it lead to their death (except for Sailor Sirius and Phoebe). The name of the weapon was the Laughing Cow and seemed to be powered by five elements (Wind, Wood, Metal, Light, Dark) and a giant mirror. Before the agents could de-power the weapon they had to fight a Moon-Zolom (Giant snake), Gilgamesh and Claire. After a heavy battle and the introduction of Maggie's tarot guardian, Gilgamesh and Claire retreated as the weapon was nearing detonation.. in the room they fled to a loud scream echoed throughout the station. The agents followed into the next room and arrived in time to see Gilgamesh with his sword drawn and a piece of flesh twisting on the floor.. Claire looked ill and both of them disappeared through a Warlock's enchanted Portal. The piece of flesh turned into a giant monster (JENOVA) and the agents worked together to defeat it. In the final room Sailor Sirius came face to face with Queen Nephrenia of the Dead Moon. While Seijou, Sirius, Prae, Cordelia, and Maggie were distracting the Queen.. Letty set on trying to disarm the weapon. With all of the agents working together the Mirror cracked and four of the Sailor Senshi appeared (Sailor Procyon, Sailor Centauri, Sailor Vega, and Sailor Altair) to help banish Queen Nephrenia and stop the weapon from firing. Cait Sith then set the area to self-destruct and then the agents boarded a shuttle to head back to the planet.
- Back on the planet, the Northern Crater's supernatural activities seemed to converge on the outside of Midgar.. probably due to the Weapon on the moon being disarmed. Subaru Sumeragi, an aquaintance of PARADIGM arrived to Midgar and offered to throw up a kekkai in order to keep the civilians safe as the agents helped deal with the threat. A few agents stayed behind in order to guard him. The agents continued to the front where Ain's army stood and on the way they were intercepted by moxom and Oleksy. Mireya was able to use her supernatural powers to send Oleksy off and Aku, Nikolai, and Cait Sith battled moxom.. Mizumi, Dominic Lalance, Kamuro Ishigami, Faustlin Fontaine, Sailor Sirius and Izumi helped with crowd control against the horde of vampire zombies and ghouls. Eventually Andrei Konstantin arrived to help with some backup but he met his death with a combined attack of the agents as well as the Kokuryuuha from Aku. Laura then appeared and using her necromantic powers was able to resurrect the entire horde of downed zombies. Instead of fighting, however, she left with the group and took a mangled moxom with her.
- After the encounter with the Vampires, agents had to fight their way through the J-Revival army, formed of many Deepground Soldiers and other malcontents. While agent Fontaine took to a sniping position, he and agent Sparda started shooting the enemy ATV to blow them up and clear a path, agent Yevtushenko acquired an armoured transport which the group mounted and then rode through the enemy lines. Making their way in, they were stopped when Aur shot out their vehicle's entire axel system and then Sof punched it all the way into Midgar. Ain then summoned Bahamut FURY to fight the agents, weakening their resources, such as destroying Cait Sith and damaging them rather well before he and his acolytes jumped in the fray. Aur managed to shoot agent Fontaine and agent Geraldine in the head, wounding one and crippling the other's abilities, before he was immediately attacked by agent Sparda. Ain then began fighting agents Geraldine, Yevtushenko and Strife, eventually getting overwhelmed. Ain escaped via a portal, while Sof was outnumbered and captured, and Aur was dropped at his feet by agent Sparda.
