"You asked about the name Zaychik, correct" said the Tsaritsa,
"Yeah, you've always been referred to as your highness or majesty and when Dottore said that name you seemed agitated" said James,
"That's because he was pushing his luck, he knows how I should be referred to as but yes that name is what I carry" said The Tsaritsa,
"So that's your name" said James,
"Yes, but we Archons have many names so you can just call me Barnabas" said Barnabas,
"You know things about this war between Gods, what do you remember?" said James,
"I remember when everything burned, I didn't want to be involved with this war so I hid and the others thought I left all together, but my nation ended up becoming the arms manufacture due to our advanced technology, but then the abyss got involved and Celestia did nothing about it, the one you call Despair stole one of the abyssal warships then Morax took an abyssal cargo hauler, poor Furina was killed and her Gnosis shattered and only then did Celestia and the heavenly principals take action" said Barnabas,
"But in the end, you still escaped" said James,
"Now do you believe me when I say that I mean you no harm?" said Barnabas,
"I believe you" said James,
The witch returned as James and Barnabas prepare their weapons,
"Found it" said James as he deflected the attack from the witch,
Barnabas fires upon the witch as James sliced one of the legs off,
"Keep it up, we almost have it down" said Barnabas,
James hears Madoka bow and arrows firing as he realises that the other must be near,
"My friends are near, we must be careful" said James,
"Then let's hurry and kill this witch before they get here" said Barnabas,
The witch regenerated its lost limb as it attacks again,
"I had a feeling it had such trait" said James,
"Then we must keep going, the more pressure we push on the less chance I has to heal" said Barnabas as she keeps shooting the witch,
The witch makes another run for it as Madoka and the others arrive,
"You're here too" said Madoka,
"Madoka" said James,
Before James could finish his sentence, Barnabas takes him as she goes to pursue the witch,
"No... please don't go...." Said Madoka,
"That must be the Tsaritsa" said Homura.

Barnabas tracks the witch as she drops James,
"What was that for?" said James,
"There's no time for distractions" said Barnabas,
"They were going to help us" said James,
"It escaped because they arrived, now hurry" said Barnabas,
"Fine but let Madoka and the others help next time" said James,
"As long as they don't let it escape again" said Barnabas,
James and Barnabas find an open part of the labyrinth where the witch is waiting,
"So that's why it was running, it was trying to find an advantage point" said Barnabas,
"I might have to titan shift for this one" said James,
"You mean that explosion from that other labyrinth was you" said Barnabas,
"It was one of the two titans I was given yes, stay back here and provide cover fire if it tries escaping again and don't attack Madoka and the others" said James,
"Understood, go do what you need to do" said Barnabas,
James jumps off the edge and bites his hand as lightning strikes and he transforms into the Armoured titan as he tackles the witch,
Barnabas takes aim as the witch struggles against the strength of the titan as it uses it's multiple insect like legs to attack the Armoured titan, but the armour doesn't pierce,
"Interesting, that's quite the ability" said Barnabas as she provides covering fire,
The witch tries to run but the covering fire from Barnabas stop it as Madoka and the others arrive,
"He told me not to attack you so I hope you can abide by those order too" said Barnabas,
"What are you looking for" said Homura,
"We can talk about that afterwards just hurry up and help" said Barnabas,
The witch rises its centipede like tail as it was about to grab the Armoured titan, but Madoka shoots her bow and arrow destroying the tail as it gives the titan the perfect opening to tear the witch apart,
"Good shot" said Barnabas,
The limbs start growing back as the Armoured titan is overwhelmed again,
"Damn, I have to aim for its head" James thought as his titan grabs the head of the witch,
"We need to help him rip its head clean off, aim for the neck" said Barnabas as she takes aim,
Madoka nods as she does the same and fires in sync with Barnabas,
Both shots go through the neck as the Armoured titan does the rest.

James erupts out of the nape and grabs the grief seed as Barnabas helps him out,
"Thanks" said James,
Barnabas nods as she grabs something from the remains of the witch,
"Hold on, were not done with you yet, what do you want with James" said Homura,
"You act like it's a concern" said Barnabas,
"It is, you sent one of your harbingers after him" said Madoka,
"I only told Dameslette to watch him" said Barnabas,
"Everyone.... Be quiet" James struggled to say,
"What if she killed him then what" said Homura,
"I assure you my harbingers are absolutely loyal to me, they wouldn't kill unless ordered to" said Barnabas,
"I said be quiet!?" James yelled as he partially transforms into the Armoured titan again,
James's body was partially sticking out of the incomplete titan as its arm slams down separating Barnabas and the other magical girls,
"I had enough of this, no more arguing from any of you, I went looking for Barnabas on my own to get answers and I did, she has no intention to harm me so just calm down dammit" said James before he passes out,
"He's never yelled like that before, he tried to transform again and exhausted himself" said Sayaka,
James was ripped out of the nape again as the labyrinth shatters,
"I got what I came for, as long as we are on an agreement no harm shall come to your friend or any of you" said Barnabas,
"Right, we're sorry" said Madoka,
"Its not your fault, anybody would have reacted the same, we shall meet again" said Barnabas,
Madoka and the others leave to take James back home as Barnabas looks at the data chip she took from the witch.
