The sun crept though the windows of Noel's room, signalling her that it's time to wake up. "Mn, five more minutes" Noel moaned as she rolled over and curled up her body under the blankets. A few moments after she said that, an alarm went off,her alarm clock to be exact. "Ugh, shut up" she said groggily as she slowly rose to turn it off. She had thoughts of using Bolverk to simple destroy it, but she simply turned it off and got out of bed. "I can't destroy it, I need it to wake up" she said as she began to stretch.
 
 
It has been a few weeks since Noel ate and absorbed Azreal, since then she was able to work off the pot belly it left her, it still wasn't an easy task, she had to eat a lot more healthier than normal and work out a lot more. Noel walked over to her mirror and took a look at herself in the mirror, 'nice and slim' she thought. Then she felt her small breasts, "a bit too thin, ugh, why don't they grow any bigger" Noel complained. She decided to get ready for the day and headed out to the washroom to get ready.
 
 
Two Hours later
 
 
Noel was finally ready to do some work, she left her room and made her way to Kagura's office where everyone else was. Before she got there, she bumped into Makoto. "Ah, morning Noellers" she said, "Morning Makoto" Noel replied as they walked together. "So get this, I heard that the professor was able to track down the grim reaper, theres gunna be a wide search going on today" Makoto said. "Is that so" Noel said, "albeit, we probably won't be able to find him in a city this big" Makoto replied. "Hm, I wouldn't be so sure" Noel said as they reached Kagura's office, "What does that mean" Makoto asked, "You'll see" Noel said as she knocked on the door.
 
 
Hibiki answered the door, "so glad you could join us Noel, Makoto" he said as he let them in. When the two of them got in they saw the roster of people helping in the search, Tager, Lambda, Tsubaki, and Jin. 'I'm gunna take a guess and say that major kisaragi is only in it for the kill' Noel thought as she watched him. "Hm, now that everyone's here, we can go over the plan" Kagura said, "the Grim Reaper: Ragna the Bloodedge was spotted around this city, it's our job to capture and detain him before any trouble is caused understood" Kagura said briefly. "Hmph, no promises" Jin said, "hm, did you say something Jinny" Kagura replied assuming Jin would say nothing.
 
 
Jin looked straight at him and said "I said, No Promises, I will be the one to kill my brother and thats all" and walked out to start his hunt. "Ah, Jin wait" Tsubaki said as he walked out, Kagura sighed and said "leave him, anyway, as much as I would like to leave you fine ladies out of this, we need all the help we can get". "Yeah, yeah" Makoto said, "of course, I'll be joining the hunt as well, just hope that Jin doesn't find him first" Kagura said. "So in any case, just bring him here" Noel said, "that's the plan" Kagura said, "no promises" Tsubaki whispered. "You got something to add, Tsubaki" Hibiki questioned, "eh, no, nothing at all" she replied quickly. Before everyone left, Noel saw Kokonoe call Lambda over and give her something. 'I wonder what that's all about' Noel thought.
 
 
Once Noel got outside, she waited for Lambda walk out, fortunately she was able to see her leave, but she was flying fast. "Ah, hold up Lambda" Noel shouted as she changed into Mu 12 and flew after her. Mu flew as fast as she thought she could go, but Lambda was crazy fast, 'no please, I need to catch up before I-' Noel began to think. Suddenly, she started to feel like she was going faster, much faster than Lambda, but so fast that couldn't stop. "Um, um, Lambda watch out" she shouted as she closed in on Lambda. Lambda briefly turned around be Noel crashed into her and they both went crashing down into the forest below.
 
 
"Ugh" Noel groaned as she slowly got up, Lambda already seemed to be up, "Flight system damaged, time to repair, two hours" she said. Noel walked up to her and said "I'm so sorry". "Question: why were you trying so hard to get my attention" Lambda asked, "I wanted to know what the professor gave you, and I kind of wanted to help you look for Ragna, you know, because we're technically sisters and all" Noel said as her voice got lower and lower. Lambda looked at her and held out two vials, "answer: the professor created these potions to affect the Grim Reaper, naturally it should should slow him down" she said. 'Is that it' Noel thought as she looked at the vials containing a liquid-like substance. "Also, if we're going to work together, we should probably get moving" Lambda said as she began to walk in a fixed direction, "Ah, your right" Noel said, not wanting a repeat of that day weeks ago.
 
 
Eventually, duo found themselves in Wadatsumi, "Huh, did we walk too far" Noel said, "answer: no, the signal is reading that he should be around here" Lambda replied as she began looking around. "I see" Noel said as she also began to look around as well. After a few moments of looking around, they found him walking through the destroyed city. "RAGNA" Noel shouted to him, he looked back to see Noel and Lambda, "damn" he said as he kept on walking. "Oh, wait Ragna" Noel said as she chased after him, Lambda following behind her.
 
 
Eventually the two of them caught up to him, "what do you two want this time" Ragna said, Noel between breaths said" we.. need.. you to... come with... us", Ragna shook his head and said "I can't understand a goddamn word coming out of you mouth, catch you breath". Noel took a few deep breathes, "you didn't have to say it like that" Noel said. "Whatever" Ragna said, Lambda walked up to Ragna and said "Rag-na, please come back, we need your help finding Hazama", Ragna looked at her, "I'm sorry, I can't do that right now, right now I have something else to do" he said. "What might that be, whatever it is, we can help you" Noel said, "no, it's something I have to do on my own" Ragna replied. "Action: in that case" Lambda said, "Hm" Ragna question, suddenly, Lambda threw a vial at him, getting him covered in it.
 
 
"What the hell you do that for, gah" Ragna said as he shook his head trying to dry his hair. Suddenly everything started to get bigger, "the hell, when'd you all get so big" Ragna asked. Noel looked at him and said "I think a better question is, when did you get so small". Ragna began to understand the situation a lot more better, "what the hell Lambda" Ragna shouted. "Answer: at this hight, Ragna can't escape as easily" Lambda said, "is that so" Ragna said as he began to walk away, "just try an catch me" Ragna said as he walk away.
 
 
All it took was one good step from Lambda to catch up and grab Ragna by the collar of his jacket. "Let me go, this isn't funny" Ragna said, Noel began to laugh, "hahaha, no, it actually is funny, Ragna is so small, and he sounds like a chipmunk" Noel said while rolling on the floor holder sides due to her continuous laughing. "Well, wherever you put me, I'll be able to get away you know" Ragna said confidently, "counter: did you really think I didn't plan for that" Lambda said. "What does that mean" Ragna said, suddenly Lambda opened her mouth up and placed him on her tongue. Noel looked up and said "huh, hold on, wait, if you eat-" but she saw Lambda swallow him down. She watched as lump in her throat went down past her collar bone and into her stomach.
 
 
Raina didn't know what happened just happened, first he got placed on her tongue, then he was falling, and then he landed in a pool of liquid. It smelt very weird and it was very humid, the walls seemed to undulate, there also was the feint should of someone breathing and a heart-beat. Between all that, Ragna was able to piece together that Lambda swallowed him, and now he's in her stomach. "H-Hey Lambda, mind letting me out, before you know, I digest" Ragna said with worry in his voice.
 
 
Lambda put a hand on her tummy feeling Ragna move around. She then said "Cease: you won't digest, the liquid in the vial will protect you". Noel sighed in relief "Oh, in that case, I guess it's fine" Noel said, 'but I have to admit, that made me a little hungry myself' Noel thought, with her arm around her belly. "Accomplish: Mission complete, returning to Yabiko" Lambda said, "yeah, your right" Noel said, but before they left, the landscape began to shake. "Huh, this pressure, it can't be" Noel said.
 
 
Suddenly Noel and Lambda both found themselves at the alter, the place where Noel awoke as Mu 12. 'This place' Noel said, "Hm, more guests I see, however, one them isn't the chosen" a voice said. Noel looked over so see Izanami standing in her battle out fit, "this fight isn't over yet" another voice said. This voice came from Carl Clover, who was barely standing up right. "Iaznami and Carl, but why" Noel said. Noel looked off into the distance to see Relius was also here watching from a distance, "Hostile: preparing for combat" combat, Lambda said as she summoned her partial Murokumo, "hold on, don't do anything rash" Noel said to Lambda who decided to wait. Inside of her, Ragna wasn't having such a great time, all the movement was making him sick. "God, what the hell is going on" Ragna said, before he could say anything else, he ended up getting tossed to the wall of Lambda's stomach, knocking him out.
 
 
"Come on sis" Carl said, Nirvana came out and went to attack Izanami, "Shield of Dreams" Izanami said. Soon a shield made of finger like future's appeared and blocked the dolls attacks, "Now, Bulwark", the shield then shattered with seemed to harm Nirvana. "Ghost peak strike" she said, this sent Nirvana fly back, "NIRVANA" Carl shouted and she fell down, needing to recharge. Izanami quickly dashed up to him and palmed him with dark energy, knocking him out.
 
 
"Kuh" Noel cursed, soon after that Izanami began to charge up dark energy. "Dang it" Noel said as she and Lambda ran up to her, of course they were too slow and Izanami stopped time. However, Noel was able to move, "Huh" she said, she then saw Izanami float up to her. "Interesting, so you can move in stopped time as well" Izanami said, "what's that supposed to mean" Noel said. Izanami dodged the question and asked "you do know what I'm going to do to that young boy there don't you". "You mean Carl, I mean-" Noel started but was cut off by Izanami. "Listen closely" She said as she brought Noel's head down to her belly, Noel listened as it growled demanding food.
 
 
"You can't be serious" Noel said, "Oh but I am, that thing you did with the Mad Dog, well let's just say it awoken my predatory instincts" Izanami said as she walked over to Carl and lifted his head. Noel watched her in horror, Izanami looked back and said "what, a girls gotta eat" before she opened her mouth and pushed Carls head in. After two swallows, she was at his legs, his small body made it much easier to swallow and it wasn't as much of a challenge as to when Noel ate Azreal. Shortly after, Izanami completely finished off Carl, feeling him fill he gut, it wasn't too big, it was about medium size. "Mm, perfect" she said as she rubbed her belly contently. She felt some air come up, but she was able to suppress it, making her breath out the belch.
 
 
Noel looked around realizing that time was still stopped, 'how can this be' Noel thought, when she snapped back to reality, she saw that Relius was right in front of her, not moving, but frozen in time like everything else. "Eat up, I insist" Izanami said as she licked her fingers. "But... I'm not hungry" Noel said not wanting to have a huge meal, "Oh but you are, and I can feel it" Izanami replied while placing her hands on top of her belly. "I told you I'm not-"
 
 
GROOOOOOOOOO
 
 
Noel's stomach growled loudly, she blushed and looked down in embarrassment. Izanami slowly moved up to Relius and pushed her hand through his heart, which probably killed him, then she transported the second Vial Lambda had to herself and threw it on Relius, which caused him to shrink. Noel couldn't take it anymore and asked "how, why.. why is time still stopped", Izanami picked up Relius and said "it's because you absorbed Azreal's power, which in a way amplifies my power". She then forcefully held open Noel's mouth and put Relius inside, 'he tastes like a mixture of salt and copper' Noel thought before she instinctually swallowed him down.
 
 
She traced his body down to her belly where it's growling ceased, 'At least I won't be too big, wait but Lambda said I can't digest him' Noel thought. "This potion" Izanami began, "Huh" Noel said looking up, "well it won't matter, you'll have no problem digesting, until we meet again, doll" Izanami said before time began to move again. The first thing Noel felt was Relius moving or twitching, she rubbed her tummy knowing that he will die in there. His fate was seal, he will be set to become a part of her body, whenever the potion ran out, 'there must a time limit for it, right' Noel thought. Lambda looked around, "question: where is Hades" she asked, "she ran" Noel replied, "I see" Lambda said. "For now we should get out of here" Noel said as she transformed into Mu 12, Lambda's flight system was back online, so they both took off.
 
 
Elsewhere
 
 
Izanami mostly finished digesting Carl, she was just carrying around the mushy soup that was waiting to be absorbed. 'So this is what hunger is, to feed, to grow' she thought as she presses into her belly which caused the content in her stomach to get pushed into her intestines to be absorbed. Izanami then lied down preparing to sleep, when she wakes again, she will probably be hungry again, and she will go hunting again.
 
 
Next Day
 
 
Noel slowly got out of bed, a lot more groggy than the day before, "Ugh, my head" she moaned as she got up, os she got up she felt her tummy gurgle. She put her hand to it realizing that it was only now digesting Relius's body. 'Well, at least I won't be hungry this morning' she thought as she gave her tummy a pat. She got ready to go out and help with the search to find Hazama. Before she left, she couldn't help but wonder 'why did Izanami feed me her partner in crime' she thought, a little air came up and she burp lightly, 'mm, guess I'll find out one day' she said. She then heard knocking at the door, "hey Noellers, you coming or what, you'll be late" Makoto said, "I'll be right there" Noel said as she jumped on her boots and went out the door to greet her friend.
