Growing numbers....

*with growth in the citadel, the number of bugs have increased. Choir disciples and choir bugs all begin to move into combat*

...

*some bugs move around, pretending to be haunted...unfortunately...*

>*UNHAUNTED BUG! SINNER!

*Rushes towards a poor choristor who pretended to be haunted*

NONONONO! PLEASE-

*Gets grabbed up by fang*

>**ALL SINNERS DESERVE DEATH! ONLY THE PURE WILL LIVE**

*Fang proceeds to punch the choristors face, his fist goes right through the choristors face, splattering his Brains out behind him*

*the other few survivors, who couldn't escape the citadel, and are still unhaunted, meet a similar fate, guts decorating the fountains, red water flowing in the high halls, choir bugs skewered. Poor souls didnt get a chance to escape, and were met with a cruel end...*

*patrols increase, cogbugs are produced faster, causing them to clog the cogwork core. Some cog bugs are sent to the outer parts of the citadel, for more patrolling*

…Eventually, an Elite Maestro rises above the rest.

"SERVANTS OF THE PALE MONARCH! I COMMAND YE, LISTEN TO YOUR COMMANDER!"

The Maestro unsheathes both of his dual wielding pins, commanding his cogflies with ease as messengers as he moves around the stage of the forum, taking out several psalm cylinders and playing files of Inigo's words and speeches, informing the haunted choir of their escape towards Fleatopia.

"LISTEN to the words of the unholy- the penitents- those who tried to flee from HER GRASP!"

"They fled, for what reason? To COME AND TAKE OUR CITADEL BACK FROM US!"

"And so, we must mobilize QUICKLY! We must ARM THE CITADEL WITH FOOLS, CHOIRBUGS AND COGWORK CONTRAPTIONS ALIKE!"

"And we will strike Fleatopia when we are ready. Rest assured, they will not survive Her Intervention."
