Warning again: an almost OOC Terumi. He is now mixed of Ragna and Adachi Tohru from Persona 4, thought he still retains some of his insane sides.
-Prologue 1-
"…So boring." Terumi muttered to himself while yawning .He was currently sitting on a mountain of corpses. His memories were so hazy that he didn't have any ideas who the hell he ended up here. All he could recall was Raggy thrusting his big ass of a sword through his body and everything went black. And boom, he was here, in mid of a battle or something. These runts were yelling some shit at him, which pissed him a lot. He called out his Bushin err, Takehaya, out of habit and it appeared. He didn't understand what was going on but he equipped the Unit anyway and promptly wiped them out.
"Summon Bushin." He called it again and the Susanoo Unit appeared right away. He was tempted to become Susanoo again and do something to kill his boredom but relented, since somehow donning the Unit drained him more than usual. Terumi took the helmet of a random dead soldier off to check. He raised an eyebrow; pointed ears? Did he fight against an army of elfs or something?
"Hm?" Terumi heard heavy footsteps ahead. He jumped off and began walking toward the source.
Serafall was leading her battalion into battle. She told her troops to halt and flew to scout. Strange, the Old-Satan Army wasn't there, although she saw a mass of dead bodies. She descended to have a clear view.
"Eh? Is that…"
Serafall noticed a man in yellow hooded coat walking toward her.
"The fuck is that? Magical girl-wannabe?" Terumi nearly burst into laughter when he saw the girl flying toward him. Then he saw something gleaming in the tree beside that girl. Seemed like someone or something intended to kill her with a weapon. He threw Ouroboros at the tree and he heard a scream. A soldier like the ones he slaughtered fell down from it, a hole on his chest due to Ouroboros. The magical girl stared at the dead man in shock.
"Y-You saved me…"
"Tch, ain't do that for you. Just to finish the escaped pest." Terumi said, not bothering to look at the girl as he continued walking. The girl landed right in front of him, blocking his way and…pouting?
"Mou, at least let me thank you, hood-chan!" Terumi twitched at his nickname. "My name is Serafall Sitri! Nice to meet you, hood-chan! Oh, and may I ask for yours too?"
Terumi was dumbfounded at how carefree and innocent this Serafall was. Judging from her aura, he could tell that she was not weak at all, very strong to be honest. And the footsteps earlier told him that she was not alone. Unnerved by her curious and eager stare, he sighed.
"…Yuuki Terumi, happy?"
"So it's Terumi-chan, then." Serafall beamed at him. "Let me correct. Ehem! Nice to meet you, Terumi-chan! I hope we can be acquaintances from now!" She offered him a handshake with a happy smile. Terumi couldn't look through this so damn cheerful attitude of hers, it's like she genuinely wanted to befriend with him of all people. The last person to show such kindness was that Glasses and she hated him now. As if he cared though. He half-assly took the handshake and was startled by her strong grip.
"Woah lady, no need to be rough like that!"
…..
Serafall was leading Terumi back to her battalion and gave him a short summary of the situation. They were in the Civil War between two Factions. One was the Old-Satan Faction, whose army he had annihilated earlier, and the other was Serafall's, the Resistance Faction. Apparently the Old-Satan was identical to what Terumi knew of Devils: ruthless, power-hungry and stuff while the Resistance was almost opposite.
"Damn, a civil war eh? Sounds so freaking like that civil war." Terumi said aloud, cringing as he remembered the said event. He didn't like it at all, although Relius deemed it necessary to retrieve the Rettenjou but he had to erase that Kisaragi's memories afterward. Erasing one's memories was a pain in the ass job to him.
"Eh, what war?"
"Nothing. Just rambling, don't mind it." Terumi promptly assured her. He spotted a large camp ahead and judging from Serafall's relieved expression, he guessed that it was her army setting a camp over there.
-At the guest's tent-
Serafall introduced Terumi to her troops and told them his 'victory' over the Old-Satan army. The soldiers soon cheered at him and called him a Hero, which he quickly denied but failed to reach them. Serafall forced him to join them with their party.
"Damn she is so easily to get drunk." The party ended quickly since Serafall was knocked out with only a single slip of alcohol. And the soldiers seemed to be too coward to carry their leader back to her tent, he had be the one to do it.
"And she is damn heavy too." Terumi joked lightly, which Serafall somehow pouted at him and told him she was not heavy at all while sleeping. He saw a maid and gestured her to help him carry Serafall to her bed. After making sure that the Sitri was all sleep and sound, Terumi turned around and walked away. Suddenly a huge block of ice stopped him from exiting her tent.
"The hell?" He turned to see a still sleeping Serafall extending her glowing hand at him while mumbling 'Terumi-chan, come 'ere with meeee~'. Terumi, not interested in this stuff, fired a Jabaki at the ice and escaped, leaving a sleeping and pouting Serafall.
-Few days later-
Terumi took his time to explore around and find out that he was apparently in another world. Stupid as it sounded but that's the truth. He also found it strange that all of his malicious intent was almost gone and he was surprisingly calm and collected since he came to this place. His mind raced to find an answer. Nothing came as expected so Terumi concluded that it must be something with Raggy killing him.
"Tch, thinking more is hurting my brain." Terumi massaged his forehead while cursing. He found a remote place and tried to be his former self again, like, laughing like an insane man. He did it but somehow, he found it unnecessary,
"Guess I have to adapt to my new state."
"Oi~, Terumi-kun, where are youuuuu~?" Serafall's voice spoke up. Looked like she was searching for him. He disabled his Overdrive and returned to the camp. Serafall informed him that they were to return to the headquarters since the scouts returned and reported that there was no trace of Old-Satan Faction's army left.
"And Terumi-kun," For some reasons, Serafall dropped the –chan and used –kun. "I will introduce you to my parents and sister too since they heard of you rescuing me from a bad Devil~"
"…Huh?"
-Timeskip-
Terumi stood before a court(?) and was requested to say about himself. He made sure to leave some 'unnecessary' parts and make up some. After an hour of discussing, they came into the decision: he would join the Resistance Faction and hold the rank 'Captain'. Terumi cringed; Captain, eh? He was so used to 'Captain Hazama' that now 'Captain Terumi' was strange to his mouth.
"Congrats, Captain Terumi-kun!" Serafall beamed at him as usual. She then took his hand and dragged him away, much to his dismay.
…
He greeted Lord and Madam Sitri as politely as he could. Madam Sitri was joking about him being Serafall's 'knight in shining armor' as the girl kept mentioning him with high regards, which Serafall denied while blushing. Terumi twitched his left eye; this kind of scene reminded him of Raggy and his bunch of girls a lot. He noticed a little girl standing timidly behind Madam Sitri.
"What's your name, kid? Come out, I won't bite." He said with his trademark 'grin', which only scared the girl more. Lord Sitri laughed as he told his younger daughter to greet like a lady would do. The girl nodded at her father and stepped out from her hideout.
"M-M-My name is S-S-Sona Si-itri. Pleased t-to meet y-you, Yuuki Terumi-dono." She spoke nervously. Terumi sighed in amusement as he approached Sona and patted her head lightly.
"Terumi is fine. Nice to meet you too, Sona." He sent a warmer smile at her. The youngest Sitri blushed at his attics and lowered her head to hide her face from him. Suddenly, a huge explosion occurred outside the Sitri's mansion. Sensing something unpleasant, Terumi rushed to the entrance to check. There was a group of Old-Satan soldiers wreaking havoc the palace. One of them spotted Terumi and yelled.
"There you are, Yuuki Terumi! Today we shall avenge our comrades! Prepare to DIE!"
And with that, all of them jumped at Terumi, who wrapped himself in a gigantic aura of Ouroboros and lunged at them. He severed the head of a soldier with Jagoku Houtenjin and headbutted another to dead with Tsuisouga. He then threw an Ouroboros chain at the one with spear and pulled him closer.
"Orochi Burensen! Die you WEAKLING!" Terumi shouted as he grabbed the Devil's head and slammed him down before stomping him and kicking him away. He noticed some of them missing and turned around to see the front door broken.
"Shit!"
-Inside-
Serafall and her servants were fighting against the Devils from Old-Satan Faction fiercely. She didn't know how they could even infiltrate their territory without raising alarm. She suspected that there were moles inside the army. But she brushed that aside and concentrated on disposing these intruders. She heard Sona's scream from the study room and was about to rush to the place when a yellow blur ran past her. She followed him but the door closed briefly after Terumi entered and shut firmly, no matter what Serafall did to it.
"T-Terumi-onii-san!" Sona cried as she was in the grip of the Old-Satan soldier. Terumi stopped his track at the scene. The Devil yelled at him.
"Another move and I will kill this brat! Drop your weapons!" He moved his dagger on Sona's cheek and left a wide cut as result, making her cry in pain. Terumi redundantly threw his butterfly knives away as that Devil said. The latter smirked smugly as he waved his hand. Immediately, the Devils that were holding Lord and Madam Sitri hostages released them and lunged at Terumi with their spears and swords, piercing his body.
"Kuargh!" Terumi coughed up blood. The Devils laughed maniacally as they twisted to inflict more pain to him. The one holding Sona shoved her aside and ran his dagger through Terumi's left chest, where his heart should be. Terumi let out a scream of agony as result.
"You…fucking…bastards! Kuh!"
"Hahahaha! That's for angering the Old-Satan, lowlife! Now die like an ape you are!" The Devils smirked as they drew their weapons out and impaled once again. Terumi screamed one last time before his body went limb.
"TERUMI-ONIISAN!" Sona cried. She tried to channel her magic and use it on the Devils but it was too weak. They shrugged it off and turned at her.
"Ooh don't worry, you will meet him soon. Kill them all and burn this place." He ordered as the others nodded. He then turned at the 'dead' Terumi and kicked his body while laughing. Sona was so flustered in anger that she somehow unleashed her stronger ice spell at the Devil, hurting him in process.
"Argh, you damn brat! If you want to die that much, I will grant it for you! DIE!" Sona was too tired to move in spite of Lord and Madam Sitri's cries. When she thought it was the end for her, a low chuckle sounded.
"Well now, I can't believe a man like you have the nerve to kill a kid. Tch tch tch, I can't imagine what they taught you in the army." Terumi's voice spoke in mocking tone. The Devil turned around and saw the 'corpse' slowly stand up. His hood blew back and revealed his green hair and the gleaming slid eyes. Terumi smirked before laughing like a mad man.
"Too bad too bad too bad! Ganging up against me and you still can't kill little old me. Too weak! Bushin, come here!"
As Terumi commanded, the Susanoo Unit materialized. Terumi began fusing with it while laughing as he was engulfed in dark-green flame. The Devil lunged at him with his dagger but was stopped.
"And now, PAY BACK TIME!" Terumi's distorted voice spoke up confidently as a hand burst out of the flame and crushed the Devil's weapon effortlessly along with his arm. The flame soon distinguished, revealing Dark Susanoo in his full glory. The Devil was so scared so he wet his pants and shakily backed away. Susanoo slowly approached him, his feral smirk struck fear to everyone present in the room. Realizing that he couldn't back any further, the Devil looked at the Dark God in absolute fear.
"P-Please, forgive me."
"Forgive? Why should I forgive a wannabe-childkiller? Tell me, why should I ?" As if his intimidating appearance was not enough, his distorted voice was more terrific. He callout his Blade of Judgment and promptly cut the Devil's head, letting the blood spraying on his armor. Susanoo turned to the remained Old-Satan Devils, his feral grin growing more.
…..
"Hm, weaklings. And I thought they were competent." Susanoo stood before the corpses of the earlier soldiers. He dismissed his blade and walked toward the shaking Sona. He kneeled in front of her.
"Now child, don't be scared. I'm here. No one can harm you again." He said gently despite his mixed voice. Normally, people would run away from him but somehow, Sona hugged him and cried. She said something but he couldn't hear as she buried her face on his chest. He ran his hand, er, claws on her hair and patted her lightly. The door opened and Serafall rushed into the scene. The moment she saw Susanoo, she knew it was Terumi since only he could do such a scene like this and aside from her parents over there, he was the only one left to comfort Sona.
"You have a lot to explain, Terumi-kun." Serafall said in a mock serious tone. Susanoo released Sona and turned to her with a smirk, though there was a permanent smirk on his facemask already.
"Well yeah. I will – Shit!" He shoved Serafall away and took the incoming blast head-on. There was a three-headed dog, Cerberus, in the room and judging its position, the Devils earlier must have summoned it. Susanoo cursed mentally as he couldn't withstand the strain any longer and dismissed the Susanoo Unit as result. He fell on his knee, glaring dagger at the beast.
"Terumi-kun!"
"Yuuki-dono!"
Serafall and her parents shouted. Terumi ran to pickup his knives and lunged at the Cerberus, slashing it. But he was weakened to the point that all the slashes could not budge it at all and it sent him fly backward with ease. 41
"Argh! You damn hound!" Terumi cursed as he tried to stand up. Serafall ran to his side, not knowing that the Cerberus had laid its eyes on her and opened its mouths to fire another fireball. The moment she realized, it was too late. The bright fire was right in front of her. Serafall closed her eyes as if she expected to be burned to death, but felt nothing. She slowly opened her eyes.
"Y-You…goddamn…idiot…" Terumi weakly spoke. He was fast enough to stand before her and take the fireball again, this time, without the Susanoo protecting him. He soon collapsed. All he could hear before succumbing to darkness was Serafall's heart-wrenching cry of his name.
I have nothing more to say. Please go easy on me since this is my very, very, very first fanfic story. R&R guys!
