[QUOTE=Nanya01;3257326]*Ahem* One part left after this one.
Spoiler for Due Part 5:
"Damn it!" Nove cursed as the winds picked up and forced her to put some goggles over her eyes to keep the snow and wind out of her face. "DUE!"
Beside her, Deed was using her blades as a glow stick so they could see better. The younger cyborg was incredibly worried as she and Nove ran through the streets. "I can't believe Due would run off like that." Deed shivered as a gust of wind blew snow off the ground and pelted the both of them with enough snow that they were white-washed in only a second. "I'm glad Cinque called us." Deed commented as the two wiped off the snow.
Nove nodded, but she was still so worried. "And tonight of all nights!"
(---)
"Due!" Otto called out as she and Wendi checked alley after alley. "Due!"
"Come on! Due!" Wendi called out for her sister. "We'll get some hot chocolate!" Her voice was wavering slightly. "Where is she?!"
Otto shook her head, the sun had already set and there were fewer people out, but it didn't make it any easier.
(---)
"This is all my fault." Cinque said as she and Zafira ran down the streets. "If only I hadn't taken her to see them!"
"Now isn't the time to blame yourself." He commented to her. "Save the blame for after we find her." He chanced a glance at her snow-covered face, and mentally sighed at the worried look on her face. "You called everyone you could to help, that's all you could do. We'll find her."
She nodded at the blue and white wolf, thankful for his help in this. "Is that?!" She ran forward and pulled on something sticking out of the snow. "Due's scarf..."
"We'll find her." Zafira told her as they doubled their efforts.
A screen popped up in front of them, revealing Sein's face. "Any luck?"
"No." Cinque shook her head. "I found Due's scarf."
Sein nodded. "I'll keep looking on the north end." Both Zafira and Cinque could see the snow sticking to Sein's face and the way her teeth were chattering.
"Sein, are you sure?"
She nodded at them. "Don't worry, Dieci's here with me and Subaru and Ginga are searching as well. We'll find Due."
"I hope so..." Cinque looked at the scarf and squeezed it tightly. "Due... Where are you?"
(---)
She ran, she stumbled, she cried when her scarf slipped off her neck and flew away in the wind. "Why?" She cried out to no one in particular. "Why?! I'm Due! I know I'm Due!" Getting up on her feet, she continued to run forward and slipped as she ran across some ice. "AAAAH!" She found herself sliding uncontrollably towards the street.
Falling to her knees, she sobbed and pushed herself to her feet, stumbling, since the snow was so deep. She was about to take a step forward when sudden lights flooded where she was at. Turning her head, her eyes widened as she saw a car swerving for her. "NOOOO!" She closed her eyes, preparing for the end.
Suddenly she felt someone grab her and pull her back, just in time as the car zoomed by with a drawn out honk.
"Huh?" Due blinked as she found herself sitting on the ground. "Who?" She looked around and turned, blinking as she saw an older man, who smiled sadly at her, before turning away and walking without saying a word. "Mister?" When she got no answer as he walked away, she stomped the ground and took off running after him. He seemed familiar, and she wasn't sure why.
(---)
It had been over two hours and there had been no sight or smell of Due in that time.
"Cinque..." Zafira looked at her sadly. "I'm sorry."
"We can't... We can't give up on her..." Cinque shivered heavily and looked as if she was about to collapse on him.
"I'm not saying we should..." He sighed and slipped under her legs, propping her up on his back as he continued to walk. "It's late, and the cold's getting to you." It had gotten to him as well, but he had dealt with winters this cold in the past, so it was pretty easy to ignore it.
"I won't... I won't give up on her." Cinque shuddered even as she gripped the scarf tightly.
"Cinque! Zafira!" Nove called out, shivering slightly. "No luck?"
Cinque shook her head. "No..."
"Dammit!" Deed swore and felt like punching something.
"This is not the way to spend tonight!" Nove growled.
Zafira suddenly turned his head and took off, Cinque nearly fell off of his back in his hurry. Looking at each other, Nove and Deed followed after him closely.
"Mister! Mister!" They both heard a soft voice calling out.
"DUE!"
The little girl stiffened and turned around, her lips were slightly blue from the cold and her cheeks were bright red. "What?"
Cinque jumped off Zafira and basically tackled Due as she hugged her tightly. "Don't... Don't you ever do that again!" Due trembled as Cinque hugged her tightly, crying softly.
"Oi!" Nove looked at them as Deed contacted the rest of their sisters. "Of all the nights you chose to run away on, you had to choose this night!"
"Huh?" Due looked at her in confusion. "Why tonight?"
Cinque pulled away from Due and held up Due's scarf. "Come on," she wrapped it around Due's neck, "we'll show you."
Due was blinking in confusion the whole time.
....
Well, Due isn't the only one blinking in confusion, I'll tell you that. I'm trying to think who that guy could be and drawing a complete blank...
... she killed him. Wasn't the backstabbing in question literal?
Spoiler for Pretty sure it was...:
I'd have to go back and check the episode on my iPod (anyone remember the number?), but I was under the impression that she did kill the priest once she got what she wanted.

Okay, um, guys, just so you can think about who saved Due, here's a hint...
The song "Angels Among Us" is the hint.
Think about it for awhile.
Spoiler for Alabama Angels Among Us Lyrics:
I was walking home from school on a cold winter day.
Took a shortcut through the woods, and I lost my way.
It was getting late, and I was scared and alone.
But then a kind old man took my hand and led me home.
Mama couldn't see him, but he was standing there.
And I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers.
Oh I believe there are angels among us.
Sent down to us from somewhere up above.
They come to you and me in our darkest hours.
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give.
To guide us with the light of love.
When life held troubled times, and had me down on my knees.
There's always been someone there to come along and comfort me.
A kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand.
A phone call from a friend, just to say I understand.
And ain't it kind of funny that at the dark end of the road.
Someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope.
Oh I believe there are angels among us.
Sent down to us from somewhere up above.
They come to you and me in our darkest hours.
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give.
To guide us with the light of love.
They wear so many faces; show up in the strangest places.
To grace us with their mercy, in our time of need.
Oh I believe there are angels among us.
Sent down to us from somewhere up above.
They come to you and me in our darkest hours.
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give.
To guide us with the light of love.
To guide us with the light of love.
Maybe it's because I'm not familiar with the song, but the ones that comes to mind are still either the Priest or Zest (and maybe Regius; sure he's a well intentioned extremist at best, but if even Vader can become a Force Ghost, well...), presumably being angels after death...mind screw!

After Due got killed in the same room with Zest, he absorbed her Reincarnation Mode energy and came back to life! Regius did too, but he died again two weeks later of a massive coronary brought on by years of overeating and lack of exercise.
"This is..." Due looked at the house in front of her. She was riding on Zafira's back, since the Guardian Beast wouldn't let her walk around on her own after she fell down the fifth time.
Cinque smiled. "Where my sisters and I live."
"But why..." She turned to Otto as the other girl put a hand on her shoulder.
"Every year we come to this house to have fun together." She winked at Due, who blinked at her in confusion. "Cinque was going to bring you here right after your meeting."
"...Oh..." Due looked down before she felt a shaking of her shoulder. "Otto?"
"Now, now... We're just happy you're alive."
"I wouldn't be if that man hadn't saved me."
"What man?" Otto blinked in confusion as Due held her hands up in the air.
"Didn't you see him? He was like... Huge! And... Strangely, familiar, but he was big, and he smiled at me like he was just happy to see me, but he never spoke to me." She pouted then. "That's not nice, even the people on the streets who yelled at me at least called me a brat. I'm not a brat am I?"
"If we don't get out of this cold, we'll all be frozen brats." Wendi called out. She was thankful that the storm had started to let up, but it was still pretty bad outside.
It didn't take them long to get inside the house. It took them much longer to get the snow off of their bodies and out of their winter clothes.
"Welcome back." Genya smiled as he saw his daughters, the church girls and... "So you must be Due." He chuckled softly. "You don't know how worried we all were when you disappeared like that. I've never seen Cinque so upset in all my life."
"Dad!" The one-eyed cyborg blushed as Genya chuckled softly.
Due was led to the table and blinked at all the chairs. "What..." She looked up as three people came out of the kitchen area.
"Subaru, Ginga, Teana." Wendi smiled at them as they sat food after food on the table.
Due's eyes sparkled as she saw the feast being laid out in front of her. "...Foood..."
Teana giggled softly and nodded to her. "That's right. Subaru asked me to come over and help, and then you disappear like that..." She shook her head. "This wouldn't be a very happy Christmas without the guest of honor."
"Huh?" Looking around, she saw nothing but smiling faces. "...Me? Honor? But... Why?"
Cinque knelt down to look at her face-to-face. "It's your first Christmas with your family, Due. Regardless of what Jail, Uno, Quattro and Tre said to you, you are Due, you are our sister... And we wanted to welcome you, properly, into our family."
Due trembled softly, before sniffling and glomping Cinque tightly. "WAAAAAHHH!!!"
"Due?" Cinque was surprised as Due trembled and sniffled.
"I... I feel... Happy!" The little girl sobbed. "Why am I crying?"
Cinque giggled softly. "It's okay to cry when you're happy, Due. You'll learn that soon enough."
"Oi!" Nove smirked at them after a few more moments. "Stop with the blubbering, Due, it's Christmas, let's just enjoy the night."
Zafira looked at Genya, who shook his head. "I guess going home in this weather would be a problem, huh?"
"Yeah." Genya nodded at him. "I'll give Hayate a call to let her know where you're at."
"Thank you, but I'll do it." The blue wolf nodded and slipped away to make that call.
"Ne, Tea..."
"Yeah, Subaru?" Teana blinked as Subaru hugged her.
"Thanks for coming."
Teana smiled as Subaru let go. "I don't mind, your family's nice."
"Hey! Enough of this!" Wendi called out to everyone. "Let's eat!"
"Yeah!" Everyone cheered as they started to pull up to the table.
Outside, looking through the window, though no one could see him, was the man who saved Due. "I'm glad you found your place in life, Due..." He closed his eyes as he started to float up and away. "I never was angry at you for what you did to me. I was sad... Because you were just one more lost soul who didn't know what she wanted. Take care, Due... And try not to kill anymore priests this time around." The man chuckled as he faded away into the sky.
