**Ordo Calamitas** is the fifth episode of Paranormal Order: Calamity. It aired on October 9, 2021.

## Synopsis

Team Vultures continues the investigation of The Colosseum, now allied to the shadow powers of Joui Jouki. However, as they descend to the door of Semper Clausa, they will have to confront the memories of the past in order to understand the history of the Order of Calamity.

## Summary

After hearing a noise coming from outside the room they were in, the team comes across the silhouette of Joui Jouki shortly after he had thrown one of The Host's followers to the floor. Joui, upon realizing the team’s arrival, teleports in his direction. He initially points his katana to Arthur. Meanwhile, he lowers his mask and reveals his teary eyes, as well as those of Arthur, who begins to cry next to his friend. Joui reveals he has no memories of the time he was with the Sect of the Masks and that, for him, he had put the mask in the cemetery the day before. Soon after, he would have woken up with the symbol of the pact drawed in the proximities of the Leone's Mansion, with a similar paper to those found in the mansion - which contained the symbol of the pact drawn. Joui presents himself to the other members of Team Vultures and, after creating theories about the involvement of the Masks and the Devil in the recent events, they return to the paintings' room to solve the mystery of the governors' masks. Therefore the analysis of the exposure tables, the Vultures head to the room for the emperors in the stands, where they find another mask. Then, they go to the other side of this, with a similar room, and there they find two apparently identical masks.

After a while deciding what to do, Joui takes one of the masks in his hand and discovers that behind it there was a price tag with the inscription $9,99; unlike the other, which contained a paranormal aura and the The Host Symbol. The team heads to the right side of the Colosseum, bumping into the body of the employee killed by Joui, from where they took a bunch of keys with the symbol of the Amphitheater. Continuing the search, the Vultures find a room with five statues without arms, without heads and of equal bodies, where each of them has a date. The team spends time trying to connect the masks to their statues. In this time, Joui listens to a humming employee and teleports in the shadows, preparing to perform a rear naked choke on him.

After the maneuver, the janitor faints. Soon, the protagonists begin a discussion about the possible involvement of this employee with The Host — discussion that intensifies after being found in the body of that man a weapon, possibly self-defense, but that increased the team’s suspicions about that simple employee. Team Vultures finally decides to tie the possible occultist with a shoelace. Meanwhile, Rubens finds one of the masks on one of the shelves that were being prepared for a possible future exhibition. However, as he heads out of the room, he notices The Host Symbol shine on the tied employee, which causes him to pluck the knife from Johnny Tabasco and stick on the disguised follower. After that, the vultures return to the paintings' room and photograph them, while relating each mask to its corresponding frame.

Later, they return to the statues' room and begin to try to solve the puzzle using the hints of the book found in the library. They end up making several mistakes in this process, which physically and mentally shakes the agents, who confused four masks before getting all of them right. After a long time of mistakes, damage and discussions of who should risk putting on the masks, the team finally solves the riddle, thus causing a passage to the underground to be revealed.

The agents enter the passage, arriving at an old room with a very heavy fog. On the floor, they see marked a symbol — the same marked on the cover of Arnaldo Fritz's grimoire. The protagonists begin to hear whispers and, as they all go down the stairs, the shadows transform into the Sect of the Masks. They start to talk. The masks explain that Joui's agreement was broken and that only the markeds could open Semper Clausa, since the paranormal changed. They hear footsteps. The Order’s agents appear at the top. Mr. Verity welcomes Joui back to Ordo Realitas, preparing squads to follow the paths that that passage reveals. The vultures go to the middle way and the doors close behind them, making it impossible to communicate with the rest of the Order.

As they followed the staircase, they came across a silent hall, which contained six statues with descriptions of each of them. After Rubens reveals his past related to The Host, Joui touches one of the statues and becomes unconscious as its eyes begin to glow green. The other team members follow Joui and touch each other on one of the statues. Just like Joui, everyone gets unconscious and the eyes of their respective statues shine.

They wake up as members of Ordo Calamitas, in A.D. 67, in a place where memories are unpredictable; where they control the past. Celestine wakes up first and does her morning training routine, and then goes to the meeting room to wait for the leader of the Order, Veritus — and especially for the emperor Nero, also a member of the Order. Remus wakes up, just like Gaius, Marius, Faustus and Amalia and eventually everyone joins the meeting, celebrating the new conquest of the Order of having found one of the Relics of Calamity, only remaining now the Relic of Death.

But at some point they notice something that was obvious: they are, within those bodies of agents of Ordo Calamitas, Arthur, Balu, Carina, Dante, Joui and Rubens. In the middle of the meeting, they feel a shiver; as if something horrible was going to happen. Suddenly, a black ooze begins to flow down the walls and makes them prepare to fight. Among the ooze that forms, a huge black silhouette is glimpsed about to pursue them; and the agents begin to run.

As it approaches the Relic of Energy, the ooze seems to avoid it, which is why they are not yet dead. As they pass through the door, the team sees a shiny object, something that Death can’t touch - after all, it wouldn’t mess with something so chaotic. They get close to the cube and feel called by it. When the six arrive at the object, which voraciously shines, they notice it practically intangible. It’s like it’s not even an object. The cube shines with countless and infinite possibilities and, through a kind of raffle of the relic that seems to have its own life, Gaius is chosen. The light embraces his face, vibrating, distorting and burning his mind. Gaius embraces the chaos and joins it.

He becomes a being, whose mask with a macabre expression and scary laugh seem the very essence of chaos, the entity marvels at its existence, shouting with joy and anger against the black silhouette, mentioning that now it's its turn to shine. The warriors question what happened to Gaius, being answered with a guessing game. The entity of Chaos has more fun making jokes with the warriors before making the agents awaken from the memory.

Soon after, everyone wakes up in their original bodies, although the statue that Carina had touched is the only one who doesn’t have the green glow in its eyes. As they returns to their bodies, Carina talks about how Gaius would have a connection with the Despair Mask. They go to another room and when Balu touches a kind of barrier, his mark appears on the spot. After a small discussion, Rubens touches with him. Faustus and Amalia reappear and the same creature emerges from a purple flame, calling them to the first game.

## Trivia

* In this episode, it's revealed that The Host's Production was behind The Colosseum's organization. By coincidence, in numerology, five is considered the number of chaos and inconstancy, which relates to the fact that the place was ruled by five wielders of the Relic of Energy, being them: Amphitruo, Aeneas, Liber, Silenus and Plautus.
