Two days later...

"You want me to do what?!" Sein gasped as she looked at Jail. "You've got to be kidding!"

Jail shook his head. "I'm not. It was brought to my attention that since I've basically broken away from the high council, it would not be a good idea to be caught flat-footed, if you get my drift."

"...Why me though?" Sein pointed at Due. "Wouldn't it be easier for her to sneak into the Bureau services than me? She's done it before!"

"I've got other things to do right now." Due said as she looked at Jail, wondering why he wanted Sein to do that instead of her.

"Besides, while I have no doubt about Due's ability to trick people into believing her to be in two places at the same time, I don't want to push my luck with that." Jail smiled softly. "You won't have to be there long." He then grinned at Sein. "Besides, learning counter-strategies to magic and how the Bureau sends out their forces isn't a bad idea, is it?"

"You sure you want Sein to do it?" Nove asked from her position against the wall. "Knowing her, she'll spend all her time fooling around and trying to steal someone's chocolate cake."

"Hey!" Sein pouted at Nove. "That was only one slice and I thought you got yours already."

Nove narrowed her eyes and shook a fist at Sein. "Just because Due-nee can make a delicious chocolate cake doesn't mean you have to steal my slice!"

As Sein teared up, Jail chuckled and looked at Nove. "Actually, there is a reason I'm not sending you to do what she's doing, but those reasons are my own." As much as he did care for his Numbers, he didn't want someone doing a blood test and finding out just who he cloned Nove from. Sure, as soon as things settled down and the High Council would no longer be a problem, he'd let her meet her biological family.

For right now though, he didn't want the distraction in her life. "Anyway, Nove," Jail continued to speak, "I'll need you and Wendi to do various reconnaissance for me." Nove blinked at him stupidly. "I'll need you to blend in with people as best as you can."

"Um, doctor, how are we supposed to do that in these body suits? It worked fine on that one world because we wore cloaks over our outfits, but I don't think that'll work in cities and stuff."

"For one, you can pass Wendi off as a familiar." Uno said as she walked into the room with a bunch of fabric in her hands. "And two... Strip naked, I've got some work to do, making you new outfits."

"N...N...Naked?!" Nove's face went bright red and Uno rolled her eyes.

"Nove, for crying out loud, we've all seen you naked before. The doctor can probably tell you your exact breast size, how large your nipples are, about that mark on your..."

"Okay, okay!" Nove's face went red and she reached up to unclasp her outfit. "Still embarrassing."

"I'll leave." Jail smiled at her as he stood up and walked past her, patting her on the head while he walked past. "Due, Sein, let's leave the two of them alone."

"Aww..." Sein pouted and followed Due and Jail out of the room. After the doors closed behind her, Sein looked at Due. "Where's Agito?"

"With Lutecia today." That was another reason why Due wouldn't be able to do what Sein was going to be doing soon. A unison device would draw unneeded attention towards her. "Plus I'm too old to do your mission."

Sein frowned at Due. "You can make yourself look younger."

Rolling her eyes, Due shook her head. "Even if I can, there's also the problem with me acting like a teenager," she narrowed her eyes at Sein, "or would you have me be hyperactive again?"

Sweat-dropping, Sein nodded. "Alright... So, what are the rest of my sisters going to do?"

"I'm going to be helping Lutecia out and look for some stuff." Due commented. "I don't know about the rest of our sisters..."

"There are hundreds, if not thousands of Relics out there." Jail commented, drawing their attention. "They're classified as Lost Logia, but the truth of the matter is, they're powerful magic amplifiers." Jail had an unusual grin on his face. "They were meant to be used to be bonded with humans to magnify their power to unimaginable heights." Due and Sein looked at him in interest. It wasn't too often Jail talked about stuff like this. "The man I was cloned from never got to see the final result, since Unison had just been made near the end of his life. The Relics, as they're called now," a screen popped up, revealing a red gem that slowly spun around, "was an effort to give everyone a power boost similar to that of a Unison device."

Due raised an eyebrow as she looked at it. It looked like a red rectangular cube with a trapezoid on the top and the bottom. "Do all of these Relics look the same?"

Jail nodded. "Yes. However, they're all numbered, the lower the number, the more powerful the effect."

"So, I'm to assume that anything over fifty is pretty weak?" Due raised an eyebrow when Jail laughed and shook his head. "...What?"

Jail grinned, his eyes glinting in the light. "After level fifty, the powers become interesting." He pointed at Sein, who blinked several times. "My research indicates that there's one that, if fused to the body, would let anyone have the power of Sein's Deep Diver."

"I'm not special then?" Sein frowned at the thought of a bunch of people being able to do what she could do easily.

"It's not that simple." Jail shook his head. "The Relics can only be used by those who use Belkan or similar physical styles of magic."

Thinking about the possibilities, Due nodded slowly. "Interesting... You have a plan, don't you?"

"Don't I always?" Jail grinned at Due. "As for Lutecia, finding the right relic should be able to heal the damage to her mother's body."

"You really intend to let her go with her mother if she can be fixed?" Sein blinked when Jail nodded. "Doctor?"

"Such an event was something that should never have happened." Jail said, the glee on his face was replaced by a more somber tone and look. "Whenever Mazoku appear, tragedy soon follows for people, both large and small for everyone they come into contact with."

The two blinked and nodded slowly.

"Are you done yet?" Nove asked as she stood on top of a chair completely naked. "This is, oww!"

"The more you complain, the longer it takes. And pinching your butt to get you to shut up hurts my fingers, so just quiet down." Uno said as she continued to take notes down while wrapping her measuring tape around Nove's thighs. "Hmm..."

"Come on, Un-nee, you know my body sizes."

Uno rolled her eyes and called up a view screen for Nove to look at. "For a skin-tight, protective body suit, yes, but look, normal people wear things like jeans, shorts, shirts that don't squeeze against their bodies like our body suits do."

"Oh. So, um, do you know what the doctor wants me to do?"

"You and Wendi," Uno said as she wrote down more notes down, "are going to do some investigation on various worlds for us."

"For what?" Nove blinked as Uno sighed heavily.

"Whatever we need, but if you need specifics, Nove, think of it as scouting for new materials for the doctor to use in his experiments." Nove nodded, she could get behind that.

"Oww!" Nove nearly jumped as Uno pinched her butt again. "Would you stop that?!"

"Of course." Uno smiled as she packed her stuff up. "I'll have to do some work with Wendi, but, yes, we're done for now."

Nove sighed and got down and grabbed her clothes. "And Nove..." Nove blinked and turned to look at Uno. "Don't forget if someone asks about Wendi's ears, eyes or tail that she's your familiar, and if they wonder why you aren't in the Bureau, just say you're from a non-administered world."

The naked redhead nodded as she hurried up to get dressed and get away from Uno and her pinching fingers.

Who knew a secretary had such strong fingers?

You'll get strong fingers if you keep on typing like that. I like this idea about relics, It's like those superheroes who have weird powers, we could get several sets of fantastic four or likewise out of the numbers.
