Everyone else looked around and saw Griselda, Pit, Xenovia and Irina, the latter of whom was holding a lasso in her hands, and using it to pull the man back towards them.
"We got your call, Koneko." Pit explained, holding up a phone. "Though it looks like the action's over. Even if we managed to get Valper before he got away.
"Sure is." Koneko replied.
"Valper?!" Kiba growled, looking at the man whose feeble attempts to escape might as well have been non-existent, for all the good they did. "Valper Gallilei?!"
"Looks like it." Rex replied, as he walked towards Valper, picked him up, and slammed him against the ground, breaking his nose. "Alright, then." he addressed Valper. "I'll get to the point. "Where is Kokabiel?"
Everyone got a shiver down their spine as Valper screamed in pain from his nose being broken.
"I-I don't know!" the Archbishop of Genocide shouted as Irina transformed her Excalibur Mimic back into an armband, since Rex already had Valper pinned down. "I have no idea where he is!"
"Oh, really?" Rex furrowed his brow, as he picked Valper up and span him around, slamming him onto his chest, before placing a foot on his back, grabbing onto one of his arms. "Then I'm sure you have no idea where your arm will be once it comes out."
"I'm serious!" Valper shrieked. "I don't know! I'll tell you something else!"
"We don't need anything else." Rex replied, beginning to pull on Valper's arm. "Where is Kokabiel hiding? Don't try to lie."
Valper screamed in pain as Rex continued to pull on his arm. As the silver-haired Nephalem felt it leaving its socket, Valper snapped.
"Okay, okay!" he screamed, tears pouring from his eyes. "I'll tell you! Just please, stop!"
"Not until you tell us." Rex replied. "Where is he hiding? If you tell me, I'll let you go. I promise."
"He's... he's in the old military base, on the outskirts of Kuoh!" Valper shouted. "Th-there, I told you! Please... let me go!"
"Alright." Rex replied, stepping off of Valper's back and picking him up by the back of his outfit. "I'll let you go." he looked over at Kiba, giving him a questioning look. Kiba looked like he was considering something for a second, and then shook his head.
Rex then silently pushed Valper forward with enough force for him to stumble and fall... straight into an ice-spike that Rex subconsciously created, right at the spot where Valper's head would be when he fell, letting the life of the Archbishop of Genocide end by impalement through the face.

Not even a minute later, everyone was back in the ORC room and discussing what had happened at the warehouse. Or rather, Kiba and Koneko were explaining it to everyone while Mirajane took an exhausted Isane back to her house, allowing her to rest for the night.
"So Freed jumped away from me and tried to attack Isane while she was down," Kiba finished. "And, well..."
"And we know the rest." Rex, who was sat on one of the sofas with Rias and Pit, while Serafall, Sona and Griselda Rex noticed that Serafall was holding Sona so she was closer to her than Griselda were on another sofa.
Grayfia was stood behind Rex, while the rest of Rias' and Sona's peerages were stood behind their respective Kings.
Xenovia had gone back to the apartment that she, Irina, Griselda and Pit had gone to, and Irina had gone with Mirajane and Isane to the latter's house, so neither of the two young Exorcists were present.
"So, what do we do now?" Rex asked.
"Go to that military base Valper was talking about, of course!" Serafall replied. "We've got to see if anything's there!"
"Agreed." Rias replied. "I know the military base Valper was referring to. Even if it isn't in Kuoh, I don't want it being part of something that poses a threat to this town. The town I govern."
"Now, hang on." Griselda spoke. "I'm not sure that's fully wise. Though it is possible that Kokabiel and his forces are hiding out at this base, there's something else to consider. Valper could've been lying."
"No way!" Serafall glared at Griselda. "Valper would've just told Rex the truth to get him to stop-"
"How do we know what Valper said was the truth, though?" Sona spoke up. "There's no real way of discerning whether what Valper said was the truth... or if he was just blurting out the first place he knew of, just to make Rex stop torturing him."
Even though she was being held so close to her that it could've been said that she phased into her and one would've believed it, Sona stared right back into the shocked face of her older sister, as Serafall expressed her non-verbal dismay that her darling little sister had just directly disagreed with her.
"Your little sister is right, Serafall." Grayfia replied. "Though we know that Kokabiel is working not just with other Fallen Angels, but with Vampires-"
"Nazi Vampires." Rex added. "I saw the Nazi logo on the uniforms of those Vampires Isane decimated. Someone remind me to go and praise her for that later."
"Go and praise her for that later." Koneko replied, bluntly. In reply, Rex calmly reached into a pocket-dimension, pulled out a scratching post that one usually buys for their pet cat, and threw it at Koneko's head.
It scored a direct hit.
"Nazi Vampires as well," Grayfia continued. "We don't know whether or not that's the extent of it. For all we know, he could have... revived an Evil Dragon and coerced it into following him, while keeping it as a potential ace in the hole, as the saying goes."
"That's really unlikely, though, Fia!" Serafall replied, hotly. "I-"
"I never said it wasn't!" Grayfia retorted. "What I said was that it COULD have happened, not that it DID happen. For all we know, a Dragon like Yamata no Orochi could be waiting at that military base Valper blurted out, and we could walk right into an ambush if we treat his torture-induced confession as fact, and go there!"
