Pilot Sister Rosette, an exorcist for the Magdalene Order, is dispatched late one night to exterminate a troublesome devil. But things get a little out of hand, and she ends up destroying a building! So the following day, as always, she has to write a letter of apology. Sister Kate uses this incident to suggest Rosette’s partner, Chrono, might be the problem. But Rosette quickly blows this idea away as so much hot air. Rosette and Chrono then get ordered to the New York harbor, and this time they have to play hide-and-seek with a monster that’s stowed away in a freighter’s cargo! |

The Covenant Elder, a mad scientist, is responsible for the equipment the soldiers of the Magdalene Order use. And he has just invented his latest masterpiece, the "Spirit:" a bullet that, as the devil sealed inside of it begins to materialize, transforms the released spiritual energy into a powerful destructive force. Rosette, who is entrusted with the Spirit, loads it into her gun during a mission--and then promptly loses both gun and bullet! Rosette and her friends scramble to find the Spirit before Sister Kate discovers it's missing, but it's already too late: the bullet has fallen into the hands of a devil... |
