So this story was inspired by "The White Dragon of Justice" by Sangai-Havoc and "Highschool DXD: The Fallen Devil" by Zavaritia. However it is going to be kind of different concerning the OC and his abilities. Anyway I hope you all like it and be sure to review!
(Kuoh Academy)
An eighteen year old Hakai Keiji was walking down the hallways of the famed Kuoh Academy. He was slightly taller than most students and even a few adults, with a lean muscular build with spiky black hair that reached his neck and blue eyes. Hakai's current attire was the standard male Kuoh Academy uniform, however his blazer was unzipped and revealed a sleeveless black shirt with the image of a fist on it. Around his right wrist was chain bracelet with a miniature sword attached. Hakai's hands were in his pockets as he made his way towards his locker. It was the afternoon and classes had just ended, thus the third-year student was preparing to head home.
He ignored the admiring looks and giggling from girls he passed by, as well as the glares and not so subtle curses from the males. This was the norm for Hakai ever since he entered Kuoh Academy. Unlike Yuuto Kiba, the 'Prince of Kuoh's' boyish charm, Hakai had a mature appeal that made him attractive to some of the female population of the students and even a few of the younger teachers, despite his loner attitude, intimidating aura and rarely conversing with others. As such he also earned the ire of the male student population.
The only person Hakai really conversed with, and showed any emotions to, was his younger sister, Megumi Keiji, a student in Kuoh's elementary school section. The two had a close bond though Hakai was more opened with people then Hakai was. And may God have mercy on the person who harms but a hair on Megumi, because Hakai sure won't. He has been known for going into a rage if someone hurt his little sister, having once beaten a gang of local thugs to near death when they tried to assault Megumi. However his affections and protectiveness for his little sister had increased the admiration from the female populace, much to his ire. Thus Hakai earned the title, "Kuoh's Demon Prince".
Besides Megumi, the only other person Hakai could be seen talking with was Kyome Abe, another third year and captain of the Tennis Club. No one knew why but both girls and boys were jealous either way.
He reached his locker and opened it to retrieve his bag. He paid no heed to the marks on his locker door, caused by male students most likely trying to pick his locker to perform some prank on him, as retaliation for getting the girls' attention. However Hakai had learned magic from his mother and step-father and while it was not on the same level as his sister's, it was good enough for most situations, such as blocking people's attempts at getting to his stuff.
"DIE YOU HANDSOME BASTARD!" Two male voices shouted just as Hakai pulled out his backpack. Without even looking he dodged several weak punches from a glasses wearing boy and bald-headed boy. They were Motohama and Matsuda respectively and along with a third student, Issei Hyoudou, they made up the infamous Perverted Trio, three of the most perverted students in the school. As such they held great disdain towards Hakai for being popular with the girls (not like he asked for it) and they would try various ways to get at him, such as attempting to pick his locker, spread bad rumors about him and sometimes physically assault him, such as now. Naturally all these attempts would end up in failure and sometimes the perverts would be physically beaten up. Like right now as Keiji easily dodged the punches coming from both sides by ducking. The result were Motohama and Matsuda hitting the other and making them fall backwards onto the floor, bruises appearing on their faces.
"Idiots" Hakai muttered as he made his way towards the exit, ignoring the curses coming from the two fallen perverts. 'Though I wonder where Hyoudou is.' The third year thought to himself.
The moment he stepped out the door, a small figure tackled Hakai and clutched onto his leg in a makeshift hug. The figure was a young girl who appeared between 12 and 14 years old and just barely reached Hakai's waist. She had a pale complexion, long black hair that reached her waist and was held by a red headband with yellow flowers painted on it. The young girl also wore the standard female Kuoh Academy uniform along with a pink backpack on her back. When she turned her head upwards, Hakai saw his blue eyes staring at matching blue ones. This was Megumi Ambrosius Keiji, Hakai's younger half-sister, a descendant of Merlin, and a magician prodigy.
"Hey Megumi-chan. Did you have a good day at school?" Hakai asked his little sister as he picked her up. He soon adjusted Megumi in her usual position on his shoulders.
"Yup! I got an A+ on the test oniichan!" Megumi exclaimed happily.
Hakai smiled kindly. "Well I guess in that case we'll be celebrating tonight with ramen." He said, which Megumi responded with an excited squeal.
Unbeknownst to the siblings, a figure could be seen from the old school building. It was none other than Rias Gremory, one of the "Two Great Onee-samas" of Kuoh Academy, as well as being a Devil and heiress to the Gremory Clan, one of the remaining 72 Pillars. The beautiful redhead watched the siblings leave the school grounds, a calculative look in her blue-green eyes.
"Ara, ara, spying on students again Buchou?" A feminine voice asked. Walking up towards the redhead was Akeno Himejima, another third year and the second Great Onee-sama. She was also Rias' Queen and best friend.
"Must you put it that kind of way?" Rias asked her friend, her tone mixed with exasperation and at the same time humor. The black haired beauty merely giggled in response but watched as Rias turned her attention back towards the window. Her eyes continued following Hakai until he and Megumi were out of sight. "Were you able to find any information on the Keiji siblings from Sona?" Rias finally asked.
Akeno shook her head. "No, unfortunately Sona had little information on them. All she knew was that apparently they are half-siblings, sharing the same mother, and that their parents died when Keiji Hakai was eleven and Keiji Megumi was five. Apparently they managed to survive thanks to the rather large inheritance their parents left behind as well as their uncle, whose job has him working overseas quite often. Along with that and his reputation in the school, Hakai is known to be highly protective of his little sister, sort of like a certain Maou we know." The Queen said, the last part ending with a giggle.
Rias sighed at the mention of her older brother. However her visage quickly became serious, with Akeno stopping her giggles. "The energy I sense from them… it's not normal." Rias said. "I can tell that Megumi-chan is definitely human, she might be a magician, however I am also sensing something else."
"A Sacred Gear perhaps?" Akeno suggested.
"Most likely however this feels different." Rias said as she rubbed her chin. "Besides that I sense a great amount of magical power from her. Clearly she must be skilled in magic."
"That would make her a good Bishop indeed." Commented Akeno. "But what about Keiji-san?" She asked, referring to Hakai.
"The energy I sense from him does not feel like a Sacred Gear, but something else entirely." Rias mused before a frown adorned her face. "Koneko mentioned once before that when she passed by him, she had felt what she described 'destructive' and 'angry' but controlled too. Along with that she felt the small presence of something darker. Something that made Koneko feel afraid for a moment before it disappeared."
"Perhaps he is not human." Akeno said.
"Maybe…though then we have to find out why he is here." Rias commented. "Anyway we'll have Kiba keep an eye on them for now. What is going on with that Fallen Angel that came in contact Hyoudou?"
"The two are going on a date right now. However we believe that she plans to kill him. Koneko-chan is following them as we speak." Akeno reported.
"Very well, let's see where this takes us." Rias mused.
(Later that Day)
'Thank goodness I was able to buy the groceries before the store closed.' Hakai thought as he walked down the sidewalk, hands holding grocery bags and the night sky above him.
After celebrating Megumi's perfect score with ramen, the younger of the Keiji siblings went to bed early, while Hakai stayed up for a while longer. He then realized that they were low on food so decided to head out to buy some more before the stores closed. It was only luck that Hakai managed to get there in time and buy enough food to last a month at least.
Currently he was on his way back home before deciding to cut through the park for a short cut. As Hakai continued walking, he could help but noticed the odd atmosphere in the air. It felt ominous as he saw that no one else was in the park. That was weird because there was always someone here. Along with that Hakai could feel killing intent nearby.
In an instant, warning bells went up as Hakai sidestepped to avoid a red lance that flew by him.
"Hoh? I didn't expect you to dodge it." An arrogant, female voice said.
With a bored expression Hakai looked forward and saw the wielder of the red spear standing in front of the park water fountain. It was a woman that appeared to be in between her late teens to early twenties. She had a voluptuous body that was only increased by the clothing, or lack of thereof, she wore. It consisted of nothing more of what looked like a dominatrix outfit, with leather straps covering the essential parts and spiked shoulder pads. It went rather well with her long black hair and violet eyes that had a sinister look in them. There were also the pair of black feathery wings sticking out of her back too.
A Fallen Angel, if Hakai recalled. And if the fact that the number of wings represents their strength, this one is just a foot soldier.
The young man also took note of the body of Issei Hyoudou lying near the girl, a hole in his stomach and blood around his corpse. Hakai stared at the body for a few seconds before looking back at the Fallen Angel, who had a cocky smirk on her face.
"You must see something you like, judging by the expression on your face." The Fallen said as she crossed her arms under her large breast, making them rise a little.
"Not really." Hakai's response made the girl face fault. He then continued walking home, grocery bags in hand. "Later"
"Wait a second!" The girl shouted out, causing Hakai to stop. The blue-eyed teen rolled his eyes in annoyance before turning his head to look at the Fallen Angel. Said person looked rather peeved for being dismissed so quickly. "Do you honestly believe I will let you go after seeing my form and for your insult just now?" She asked, a red spear forming in her hand.
Hakai stood there for a moment before continuing his walk, back facing the girl. The Fallen Angel gritted her teeth as she raised her arm, spear at the ready. "Fine then! Just know that the Fallen Angel Raynare is the name of the person who killed you, scum!" She cried as she threw the spear.
But just as the spear was about to hit him, Hakai disappeared in a flash. Raynare's eyes widened in shock, trying to figure out what just happened.
"You know I really don't care what your name is or what you are." Hakai's voice said from behind her.
Raynare spun around, eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Hakai's taller form, since he was literally right up in front of her. 'H-how did he get behind me so fast?! Isn't he human?!' Raynare thought. She was about to retaliate when something happened. A powerful and malevolent pressure weighed down on top of her. It was so great that Raynare nearly collapsed to her knees. 'Killing intent! And this much from a human?!' Raynare instinctively raised her head to look at Hakai, but soon wished she hadn't.
As he stared down at her quivering form, Hakai's eyes had changed. They were no longer navy blue, but now dark crimson, his pupils becoming slits. For Raynare it was like staring at a raging, uncontrolled inferno, or a savage beast preparing to rip her to shreds. The bloodlust emanating from him was so intense that the Fallen Angel was frozen where she stood. In fact Hakai's form looked even bigger than before now.
"All I desire is to go home right now and go to bed." Hakai began in an emotionless tone, which only seemed to further increase the terrible feeling Raynare felt. "So you will either leave on your own, or I will make you. Which is it?"
Raynare could only stare at him in a mixture of fear and anger. She was a Fallen Angel damn it! She was above this human scum. And yet he was able to put fear into her with those eyes staring at her like she was nothing but an annoyance. Her pride demanded that she kill him, but another part in Raynare's mind was screaming to leave, that this man would most certainly kill her. It didn't matter, she had completed her objective and killed the Sacred Gear wielder.
"F-fine! But don't think this is over human!" Raynare exclaimed, trying to act tough, though failing. She soon took off and flew into the night sky, never looking back.
Hakai watched impassively as the Fallen Angel kept flying away. Once she was out of sight Hakai continued his walk towards home, giving Issei's corpse a small glance.
It was only a few minutes after Hakai had left, did a third person appear. Hiding behind some trees during the whole ordeal, Rias' skin appeared a bit pale and her legs shaking a little. Even though she was several feet away, the Gremory heiress had felt the killing intent rolling off Hakai in waves. And despite it not being directed to her, Rias' body froze in fear, as if an invisible giant hand had grabbed onto her.
'He's definitely not normal.' Rias thought as she walked up to Issei, who remarkable was still alive, albeit barely. As she prepared to resurrect him one thought went through Rias' mind. 'Keiji Hakai…what are you?'
(Next Day at Kuoh Academy)
"Eh, Oniichan got into a fight with a Fallen Angel?" Megumi asked as she sat on Hakai's shoulders while they walked to school.
"Yeah but I scared her away." Hakai replied, holding onto Megumi's legs so she wouldn't fall off by accident.
"Okay…" Megumi said in a relieved tone. She buried her face into her brother's hair and was silent for a while. Then she spoke, "Oniichan?"
"Yes Megumi-chan?" Hakai asked, looking up towards his sister.
"Are we going to have to move again?" She asked tentatively.
Hakai frowned at the question, deep in thought on that. They had been moving around a lot since their parents passed away. And it wasn't like they were low on money, thanks to their uncle and the money left behind by their parents. Still he didn't want Megumi to grow up like that, worrying about switching from one home to another. Rather, he wanted her to have a peaceful and happy life. So he said, "I don't know. We'll wait and see though we should tell Uncle Koe about this just in case." He replied. "However remember, no matter what I will protect you Megumi."
"I know, Hakai-oniichan is the strongest!" Megumi cheered as she raised her arms in the air. Hakai smiled softly as they approached the school gates. However he was not aware that in the Student Council room, a meeting was going on, the topic being him. In there currently were Rias Gremory, and Souna Shitori, real name Sona Sitri, a devil and heiress to the Sitri Clan. The bespectacled girl with a short bob cut black hair, violet eyes and glasses sat in her chair as she listened to Rias recounting of last night regarding Hakai, a frown on her face.
"So you're telling me that Keiji Hakai-kun, a human, managed to not only show off superhuman speed, dodging not one but two light spears, but intimidate the Fallen Angel and you with just killing intent?" Sona asked.
Rias nodded. She could still recall the feeling of terror and helplessness that night. "Yes I never felt anything like it. I mean I've seen some pretty scary things but at that moment I felt my life flash before my eyes." Rias said as she took a sip of tea to calm her nerves. "It was the work of a professional, not an amateur."
"Interesting." Sona mused as she rubbed her chin, her mind already thinking of every possible scenarios. "And from the way you described it, Keiji-kun might already have knowledge of the supernatural. And if our theory of his sister have two Sacred Gears is true, what's to say that she hasn't already gained some mastery over them?"
"Who knows, I plan on inviting Keiji-kun to the clubroom after school." Rias commented.
Sona immediately knew what her rival/best friend was planning. "You want to recruit him into your peerage." She said. "However as I recalled, I already let you get Hyoudou thus I should get Keiji-kun to join my peerage." She said hotly.
Rias glared at Sona, refusing to give up a potential individual, especially since she needed as many strong servants as she could get. "I discovered that his possible connection to the supernatural first, as well as his sister having Sacred Gears too. By that I have first dibs." She replied.
To the side, Akeno and Tsubaki Shinra, an attractive young woman with long black hair, brown eyes, and glasses, as well as the vice-president of the Student Council and Sona's Queen, just stood in silence. Watching their Kings argue was something they were use too. Plus it was also quite amusing too.
Eventually the two managed to compromise. Both would meet with Hakai and Megumi after school at the ORC club room. They also agreed that whichever peerage Hakai joined, Megumi should as well. It was no secret that Hakai was close to his sister and vice versa and separating them might possibly have negative repercussions.
(Later that Day)
The last class of the day had just ended and Hakai was already preparing to go pick up Megumi as he usually does. So imagine his surprise when he heard a male's voice shouting in pain outside the classroom, followed by the door being slammed open and Megumi running in, tears streaming down her face. Hakai was so surprised that he barely had time to react to catch her when she jumped into his arms.
"Megumi, what's wrong?" Hakai asked, trying to comfort his crying little sister.
"Some…some creepy person came up to me when I was going to see you." Megumi sniffed.
Hakai's eyes narrowed as he grabbed his stuff with his other hand and walked out the classroom. He was slightly surprised when he saw none other than Yuuto Kiba down on his knees in the hallway. His face showed one of pain and he seemed to be clutching his groin. Hakai also knew that Kiba was not a human but rather a Devil. It soon clicked to the eighteen year old what had transpired. With a growl, he placed Megumi and his bag down before approaching the down blonde. He roughly grabbed the surprise Kiba by the collar of his shirt and lifted him up, with just one hand, causing the blonde to hover a few inches off the ground.
Ignoring the gasps from the students around them, Hakai began speaking. "You have ten seconds to tell me what were you trying to do to my sister Kiba?" Hakai growled.
"N-nothing I swear Keiji-sempai…" Kiba said, trying to pacify the irritated young man. It didn't help that Hakai was leaking out a small amount of killing intent. "I…I was just told by Rias Gremory-sempai to invite you two to the ORC clubroom…she and Kaichou wants to speak to you."
Hakai narrowed his eyes, studying Kiba intently, making the blonde sweat a little. Kiba knew that as a Devil, he was physically stronger than humans, even if his Piece's trait gave him enhanced speed. However something about Hakai sent a message to Kiba's mind that the person before him could easily crush the blonde before he could do anything.
Eventually Hakai released Kiba, causing the good looking boy to land on his butt. Still glaring at him, Hakai said, "Fine we'll go see her." He replied as he picked up his bag and Megumi, placing his sister on his shoulders. The little girl was still giving Kiba a suspicious glare. The blonde merely smiled nervously as he led the two towards the ORC clubroom.
Later the siblings saw that the clubroom was in fact the old school building. "Wow, this is kind of disappointing." Hakai commented as he followed Kiba.
"It looks stupid." Megumi said. Kiba winced a bit at the harsh observations but continued leading the two inside.
"Buchou, I brought them." Kiba said as he knocked on a door.
"Bring them in." Rias' voice said from the other side.
Kiba immediately opened the door and gestured Hakai inside. Rolling his eyes the white haired teen walked in and took a moment to look around the place. It was filled with the current members of the ORC club and the Student Council, with their respective presidents near the desk. Some members were standing while the rest were sitting on couches. The siblings couldn't help but think that the supernatural items in the room made it seem like a murder scene.
"This is a very grim place." Hakai mentioned. Rias frowned at the comment from her spot in front of her desk.
"The inside also looks stupid." Megumi added. This time Rias' eyebrow twitched. It didn't help the smug look on Sona's face being sent her way.
"Yes well…Sona and I were wondering if we could have a talk with the two of you." Rias said as she gestured to one of the sofas. However Hakai just stood where he was, placing Megumi on the floor beside him.
"I'll stand thank you. Plus I rather not get to comfy with a pedophile in the room." Hakai said abruptly, causing everyone in the room to blink in surprise. However Megumi explained.
"That creepy mister tried to touch me when I went to go see oniichan!" Megumi exclaimed, pointing an accusing finger towards Kiba.
The ORC members and Student Council members looked at the blonde in confusion. Said person was waving his hands defensively. "It was not like that. All I did was say hi and…"
"Don't worry Yuuto-kun. I'm sure it was all just a misunderstanding." Rias said, calming the attractive boy. She than got to the matter at hand. But before she could speak Hakai asked something.
"Shouldn't Hyoudou be here? After all, I knew you were there when he died." Hakai said plainly, causing the Devils to look at him in surprise.
"H-how…?" Rias stuttered, unable to comprehend how Hakai was able to sense her when she concealed her presence last night.
Hakai raised an eyebrow. "You're not as good at concealing your presence as you might think you are Gremory. The only people who wouldn't notice are foot soldiers like that Fallen Angel." Hakai explained.
Rias resisted the urge to retort as that was a serious blow to her pride. However Sona managed to stop her by speaking next. "Well it seem then you're quite familiar with the supernatural world Megumi-san. Then I suppose you already know that we're Devils." She said and just then everyone in the room minus Hakai and Megumi had black bat-like wings popping out of their backs. Neither of them looked impressed
"They look weird" Megumi commented as she stared at the wings.
This time both Rias and Sona had eyebrows twitching, but managed to control themselves as they and the others retracted their wings. "Well since we've told you who we are, would you be as kind as to tell us who you are Keiji-san?" Rias asked politely, her blue-green eyes staring intently at Hakai.
"Unfortunately I cannot because I do not know what I am myself." Hakai said calmly. The Devils stared at him for a moment but could find no signs of whether he was lying or not. Meanwhile Hakai continued. "However I can tell you this: We have no intentions or desire to be involved with you Devils or anything else related to the supernatural world. So I ask that you kindly leave us alone and don't even think of trying to get us to join your peerages." Hakai said.
Rias raised an eyebrow as she leaned back on her desk. "You have quite the nerve to say that when you're in my territory as well as the fact that we have you outnumbered. Besides what if your sister wants to become a-WAAAH!"
Rias sentence was cut off when her desk suddenly disappeared. The result was her losing her balance and thus falling on the floor back first. The others looked on in shock as they tried to figure out what just happened.
"Don't threaten oniichan, you tomato!" Megumi exclaimed as she had her left hand out towards where the desk use to be. "And I don't want to join your stupid group! So take that!" Megumi snapped her fingers and suddenly the desk reappeared, right above several members of the Student Council. The result was the desk falling right on top of them, causing dust to fly and several groans from the people underneath the furniture.
'Spatial Manipulation? She can use such magic despite being so young.' Sona thought with surprise as the ORC members and other Student Council members helped up the ones trapped under the wrecked desk. Meanwhile Hakai casually picked up his backpack while taking Megumi's hand. The two began making their way towards the door.
Just as they were about to leave Hakai stopped and spoke. "Oh and Gremory. Regarding your comment earlier about having me outnumbered…"
It was at that moment all the Devils in the room felt a sudden chill go up their spine. An incredible pressure of power weighed down on them. This caused the less experience ones to shake while the veteran ones were feeling cold from the killing intent Hakai was emitting. Some looked like they were ready to faint. The worse was Koneko, due to her Nekoshou lineage, her senses were far keener and she was taking in the full brunt of the killing intent. She was shaking so hard it looked like she might crumble right there and now. With just turning his head, Hakai revealed his eyes having turned red again and some thought they saw a large beast glaring at them behind the black haired teen. "Numbers mean nothing to me. And though I have no intentions of becoming your enemy, I have no intention of becoming allies. So leave me and my sister out of your affairs." He said before finally leaving with Megumi, leaving behind a rather stupefied and shaken group of Devils.
(Timeskip)
The next few days were rather uneventful, which was how Hakai wanted it to be. The only annoying things were the Devils, well most of them.
Ever since the 'little scene' at the old school building, the Devils had been keeping a wary eye on him. However Sona seemed to have respected, or at least, understood, Hakai's wish to be left alone and that he and Megumi had no intentions of joining their peerages. Thus her servants would give them plenty of space while still observing him. However Rias appeared quite determined in trying to recruit them, or at least Hakai. They would follow his movements, though they failed in hiding their presence due to Hakai's skills of detecting energy sources. Sometimes they would try to approach him for conversations however he would avoid them. The only one who did not approach him was Kiba, mainly because after their first meeting, it was clear that the blonde should stay clear of Hakai.
Kiyome Abe, a close friend of Hakai and fellow third year student, heard about Hakai going to the ORC clubroom and instantly bombarded the male with questions of what happened. The white and black haired teen managed to placate the blonde girl that everything was fine and he wasn't going to become a Devil. That seemed to have calmed Kiyome, albeit barely since she still advised him to stay alert, something Megumi was doing. As Hakai's little sister did not trust the Devils in keeping their promise of not trying recruit her big brother, Megumi had many of her familiars spy on the Devils just in case. She had become an Animal Tamer thanks to Kiyome's tutelage and already amassed quite a good number of mythical creatures. The only thing of worth noticing was that Issei was finally introduced to the life of Devils and made aware of his Sacred Gear. Besides that, anything else the Devils did was of no concern to Hakai so long as they didn't get him or Megumi involved. Unfortunately later on Hakai would be getting himself involved unintentionally.
Currently at present time Hakai was currently at home, night having already come. Megumi had already gone to bed after dinner while Hakai cleaned up the dishes. He had just finished up putting the dishes into the dish drain when suddenly…
"NOOOO~!" A female voice screamed. Hakai looked up and saw it was coming from a house a few blocks down the street. He could also sense what appeared to be a barrier over the house too. 'Should I go or should I not go?' Hakai pondered to himself before eventually letting out a sigh as he dried his hands. 'Might as well go check it out. Since it's in my own neighborhood, whatever is going on could reach here.'
And with that, Hakai put on a plain, white short-sleeve T-shirt, black sweats and black sneakers on. Once that was done he walked out of the house he and Megumi lived in and locked the front door, before activating the magical seals around the place for extra protection. He then quickly made his way over towards the house and after bypassing the weak barrier around the place before entering. What he found was a rather interesting sight.
In the dimly lit living room was a bloodied corpse crucified on the wall. Furniture had been pushed around and was lying on the floor. Along with that was Issei who appeared to have been injured and had bullet wounds too. Across the room were two more people; a silver haired, red eyed young man wearing priest clothing and an insane look in his eyes. He was roughly holding a young blonde girl wearing a nun's attire. She had tears in her eyes, no doubt shocked by the corpse and perhaps something else too.
However all attention shifted towards Hakai. The silver haired man began shouting, "Who the fuck are you dipshit?!"
Instead of answering, Hakai merely disappeared in a flash before reappearing right in front of the maniac. Before anyone could react Hakai delivered a powerful punch right to his face, sending the madman flying into a wall.
"Father Freed?!" The nun cried.
"Keiji-sempai?" Issei asked. Rias had informed the pervert that Hakai was aware of the supernatural world and that he knew that they were Devils. She also told Issei that at the moment they were unsure if he was friend or foe and he should be careful around Hakai.
"Issei, you seem to have a knack for getting into trouble." Hakai commented, earning a sheepish chuckle from Issei.
Suddenly a red circle appeared on the floor, catching everyone's attention. Seconds later the rest of the ORC club appeared. "Issei-kun we're here to help you." Kiba said as he summoned a sword.
"A bit slow there on the rescuing part aren't you?" Hakai asked.
A crash caught everyone's attention as they saw the man, Freed, get up and glared at Hakai. "How dare you hurt me you shitty Devil!" He yelled as he charged towards Hakai with his sword raised.
But much to the surprise of Freed, and everyone else, Hakai merely smacked the blade to the side with his bare arm, before delivering a painful punch to the stray exorcist's stomach. The blow caused Freed to bend over, coughing out blood and almost getting his knees.
"First off I am not a Devil" Hakai said as he pulled his fist away from Freed's stomach. "And second people like you disgust me. You sadistic piece of shits should just end up dead in the ground." He added as he stared at the corpse hanging on the wall.
"D-damn you!" Freed cursed as he tried to draw his gun. But Hakai reacted faster and delivered an upper kick right to the chin. The impact sent the stray exorcist flying into the sky before crashing onto the sofa. The ORC members were surprised by Hakai's skills as he overwhelmed Freed.
"I had no idea Keiji-sempai was so good at combat." Kiba commented.
"He does indeed seem to be full of surprises." Akeno added.
"Strong." Koneko said.
Meanwhile Rias bent down to check on Issei. "I'm sorry Ise, I did not expect that an exorcist would be at the client's house."
"Even though this is your territory." Hakai commented.
Rias' eyes twitched for a moment before they narrowed upon seeing Issei's wounds. "Ise, were you shot?" She asked.
"Ah…yeah I was shot." Issei said sheepishly.
Rias nodded before standing up and glaring at Freed who had just gotten up. "I see you've been taken care of my cute servant." She said with venom.
"Yeah, yeah. I have been playing for around for a bit. I was planning on cutting him open but I was interrupted by that bastard over-hey?! Where are you going?" Freed yelled, cut off from his rant.
The Devils and the nun turned their heads and saw Hakai heading towards the front door. "Keiji-san?" Rias asked, confused
Said person stopped walking as he answered. "Going home. I just came here to see what was going on. I have no intentions of getting involved." He said before opening the door.
"Hah! You think I'm going to let you leave, shitty bastard?!" Freed shouted as he raised his pistol and fired a holy bullet. It moved too fast for anyone to react as it struck the back of Hakai's neck, causing the others to gasp in horror. But the horror turned to shock as the bullet merely bounced off Hakai's skin before falling harmlessly onto the floor. However Hakai acted like nothing happened as he closed the door behind him.
(Next Day)
"So…what did you two want to meet with me about?" Hakai asked Rias and Akeno. It was after school and currently the three seniors were on top of the school roof. With them was Megumi, who was hiding behind her brother's leg and glaring at the two Devils.
"We just want to make sure that the two of you are okay." Rias said as she put on a friendly smile.
Hakai just kept his stoic face as he kept staring at the redhead, his yellow eyes unnerving Rias. "I highly doubt that Gremory." The white haired teen said.
"I am being serious Keiji-san." Rias said, a bit peeved. "As the one in charge of this town I need to make sure everything is alright. And that includes the safety of everyone here, especially you as the Fallen Angels might target you because of your actions."
"If you were really in charge of this town's protection, you wouldn't have allowed those crows to come here and kill Issei. Or allow maniacs like Freed to murder people." Hakai snapped with venom, causing Rias to flinch at the sound reason Hakai made.
"That may be true however I had my reasons. To instigate a fight against another faction without justified reason could lead to disaster and threaten the fragile peace between the Devils, Fallen Angels and Angels. I cannot just go around blowing people up as I please." Rias explained. "Either way I discussed with Sona and we both agreed that there is a chance you may be targeted, so we'll each assign a member of our peerage to guard you and your sister."
Hakai snorted in annoyance. "Thanks but no thanks. I don't want a bunch of devils following me around like some kind of stalkers. Neither Megumi or I want to be involved with you lot or anything related to the three factions." He said intently before picking up Megumi. He roughly pushed pass Akeno and Rias as he made his way towards the exit.
However Rias was determined to ensure their safety. "Please reconsider! What will you do if the Fallen Angels come after you?" She asked.
Hakai paused at that and for a moment Rias thought she had gotten through to him. Instead though the white haired young man merely replied, "If they come after me than the answer is obvious." Hakai then turned his head slowly until Rias and Akeno could see his eyes. Once again they had changed from yellow to the blood red that sent shivers through the devils' bodies. "I'll kill them." And with that he left, leaving behind two rather disturbed Devils behind.
A few minutes later he exited the school. Hakai had just walked past the school gate when a hand tapped his shoulder. Turning around Hakai and Megumi saw it was Kiyome Abe, one of the few people that Hakai conversed with. She was a girl of average height and had a voluptuous body, including a large bust that almost matched Rias' and Akeno's. She had brown hair in multiple-drill like curls and blue eyes. She wore the school uniform but did not have the black shoulder cape like Rias and Sona did and her shirt sleeves were rolled up. Currently she had a smile on her face with her cheeks a bit pink, whatever that was about.
"Kiyome-san? What are you doing here? I thought you had tennis practice." Hakai said.
"I do but I just wanted to make sure that you two were okay. I heard that the Devils from the ORC club and Student Council have been bothering you lately." Kiyome said with a hint of worry in her voice.
"They are, but I made it clear I have no interest in joining them." Hakai said with a shrug. Megumi nodded in agreement.
"Oh, well that's good." Kiyome said, clearly pleased with his response. She didn't know what she would do if Hakai decided to become a Devil.
The three shared a comfortable silence before multiple female voices could be heard. The rest of the tennis club were clearly calling out to Kiyome to hurry on back. "Well I guess we better not keep you waiting. See you tomorrow Kiyome-san." Hakai said as he began to walk away.
"Bye Kiyome-neechan!" Megumi cried as she waved back at the brunette.
"Yeah see ya!" Kiyome shouted back before rejoining, though internally upset of not being able to spend more time with Hakai.
(Later On)
Hakai was doing his evening walk around town. He'd always have a lot of energy in him so he liked to take walks at night in order to let it out before going to bed. Megumi was already fast asleep and Hakai made sure that she had several of her familiars guarding her as well as placing a barrier around their home so that only Hakai or Megumi could enter. It was also designed so if an intruder did get through, Hakai would be notified about it immediately. With that many defenses, Hakai had little worry of something bad happening.
He was just about to take a turn around the corner when he accidentally bumped into somebody. The other person staggered backwards a bit while Hakai remained where he stood.
"Oops sorry about that-Hyoudou?" Hakai apologized before recognizing who it was he bumped into. It was Issei Hyoudou who appeared to have been in a hurry. Behind him were Koneko and Kiba. Both of them were surprised to see him and instantly became wary.
"Keiji-sempai!" Issei exclaimed once he recognized the third year.
However Hakai quickly began walking away. "Well see you guys later." Hakai said. He had no desire whatsoever to get involve with them or whatever they were doing.
Unfortunately Issei shouted. "Wait, Keiji-sempai! You have to help us!" He pleaded desperately.
Hakai paused, wondering what it could be that would make Issei act like that. "Help you with what? What's more why should I help in your Devil affairs at all?"
"Issei-kun…" Kiba began, trying to dissuade the Pawn but to no avail.
"Do you remember the nun from the house? Her names Asia Argento and she's in danger! The Fallen Angels are planning to take her Sacred Gear or something! Please help us!" Issei begged as he got to his knees and his head touched the ground.
Hakai raised an eyebrow, indeed recalling a blonde foreigner from the house where he saw Issei being attacked by that stray exorcist. "Even if I wanted too, what could I possibly do? In fact why would you want my help in the first place?"
"I know that you're stronger than me! Probably even stronger than Buchou! And Asia, she is just an innocent person she didn't ask for any of this!" Issei cried. "Please help me save her, she's my friend!"
Hakai was silent for a moment, thinking of what choice to make. In truth, this had nothing to do with him. This was nothing more than another conflict between the Three Factions, which he had no desire to become a part of. But if he didn't help, there was the possibility of an innocent person being killed. His mother's words suddenly came back to him.
'To have power means to protect those who don't. Those who can't protect the defenseless and innocent do not deserve to have power.'
Letting out a sigh Hakai made his decision. "Fine, I'll help." He replied. Issei had a relieved look on his face, while Koneko and Kiba had surprised ones on theirs, as Hakai quickly added, "But do not think that I am a part of your group. Leaving an innocent person to die just leaves a bad taste in my mouth."
"I understand! Thank you so much sempai!" Issei cried as he bowed his head again. Once that was done the now group of four headed off to rescue the nun.
Sometime later the group had just about reach the old abandon church. Already Hakai could sense multiple energy sources at the church. The majority appeared to be underground, directly beneath the church. One was inside the church while three more were-
"Stop!" Hakai cried as he grabbed Issei, who was in front of him, by the collar, a pulled him back. Just in time, as three spears of light struck the ground directly in front of Issei's feet.
"Hoh, nice reflexes for a human." A male voice suddenly said.
Hakai and the three Devils looked up to see three Fallen Angels float above them, one male and two females. The male was an elderly man wearing a blue trench coat and grey fedora. One female was a tall buxom woman with long blue hair and wearing a revealing red coat. The second female was what could best be described as a young blonde where a Gothic Lolita outfit.
"Hi there Devils and Human!" The blonde shouted happily as she waved at the group of four, showing fanged teeth. "My name is Mittlet, and this is Dohnaseek and Kalawarner!" The now identified Mittlet said in an upbeat and cheerful attitude while pointing to the male and female Fallen Angels. All three of them soon formed spears of light in different colors.
"We don't have time for this." Hakai said as he stepped forward. His fingers were clenching and unclenching. "Leave and no harm will come to you." He added.
Silence reigned in as both sides stared at Hakai, who had a neutral look on his face. However it was soon broken when the Fallen Angels began to laugh in hysteria, clearly finding his words amusing in some way. The Devils however, just remained silent as they stared at Hakai's still form. They were all familiar with how strong Hakai was, and knew that he could possibly beat these three.
Dohnaseek was the first to calm down. "Ha! You're a funny human. But I like the look in your eyes, it is one of a fighter. As such you'll have the pleasure of being taken down by me!" He cried, voice filled with arrogance as he performed a dive. He headed straight towards Hakai, spear at the ready to impale the black haired teen.
SWOOSH!
"Eh…?" Was all Dohnaseek could say after what happened next. In just the blink of an eye, Hakai zoomed past him and with just his hand raised, tore through the Fallen Angel's abdomen. The light gone from his eyes, the now deceased person crashed onto the ground, right before the Devils' feet.
Both the Fallen Angels and Devils tried to grasp on what just happened. One moment Dohnaseek was charging towards Hakai with the intent to kill. And the next Hakai tore through the man's body with no effort at all. It happened so fast that they were still trying to register it.
"This is your last warning." Hakai said slowly, not even looking at Mittlet and Kalawarner. "Leave now while you still can."
The two looked at him for a moment. Then they stared at one another, before shifting towards their comrade's corpse and back at each other again. In a few seconds the Fallen Angels hastily flew away into the sky, not even uttering a single word though fear was obviously on their faces. They kept on flying until the Devils could not even see them anymore.
Hakai glanced at the three Devils, who were still stunned of the brutality he displayed when he dispatched the male Fallen Angel. However he did not seem to be the least bit moved by the kill and just looked at them with a bored expression. "Well? Are you coming or not?" He asked as he continued towards the church. Issei, Koneko and Kiba eventually regained their senses and ran up to catch up with their sempai.
Upon reaching the church, Hakai wasted no time in breaking the lock on the door and then knocking it off its hinges before the group entered. Greeting them was none other than the crazed stray priest Freed Seltzen. "Welcome you shitty Devils and Shitty Devil Lover! I admit I am so touched by this reunion but at the same time I am very pissed off because-" Freed began before his eyes widened as Hakai appeared right before him.
"Shut up!" Hakai said as he slammed his fist right into the maniac's cheek. The blow sent Freed spinning backwards, flying through the air as he smashed into the stain glass window behind him. Again the Devils were left gaping as they watched the third year easily dispatched someone that they considered a threat.
Issei was the first to snap out of his stupor. Surprisingly he seemed angry. "What the hell Keiji-sempai! We should've made him tell us where Asia is!" Issei shouted.
Hakai merely replied by kicking down the altar, revealing a hidden door, to Issei's surprise. "I could sense multiple energy signatures beneath the church and I traced it behind this altar. That's why I punched that annoying maniac out of here. It's also how I saved you from being impaled by three spears." Hakai said to the pervert.
Koneko and Kiba seemed impressed by Hakai's skills of detecting energy as they and Issei followed Hakai down the hidden stairways. Once they reached the bottom of the stairs, the group of four arrived in what looked like a large dungeon with torches lighting up the room. And in the center was a large crucifix on top of a small pyramid-like stand. "Am I the only one that thinks that for a church to have something like this is…?" Hakai began.
"…Messed up?" Koneko finished for him.
"Exactly" Hakai replied.
"Asia!" Issei cried in horror, catching their attention.
Hanging to the crucifix was the lifeless looking body of Asia Argento. Her hands, legs and the rest of her were wrapped in chains while her head was hanging like a puppet cut from its strings. Surrounding her was a small army of stray exorcists, all of them wielding light swords. Following that was the cocky laughter of Raynare, who descended from the ceiling.
"You're too late Devils." Raynare said arrogantly. Lifting her hands, revealing a pair of green glowing rings on each of her middle fingers. Twilight Healing, Asia's Sacred Gear, from what Hakai assumed. However his attention was more on the lifeless blonde hanging in front of him. A feeling of rage and sorrow began to build up inside of him as Raynare continued.
"I am now the wielder of Twilight Healing." She declared as she raised her hands. "With this I will become the ultimate Fallen Angel! Ah Azazel-sama will be so pleased with me~" She cooed the last part with delight.
"You bitch! You don't deserve that Sacred Gear!" Issei cried, his Sacred Gear, Twice Critical already appearing. Tears could be seen coming from his eyes as he glared at his ex-girlfriend. "It belongs to Asia!"
"She was undeserving of it. In fact I did her a favor by taking it from her and ending her life." Raynare said as if justifying her actions.
"Damn you…" Issei cursed. Suddenly Hakai placed a hand on Issei's shoulder as he walked by him. "Keiji-sempai?"
"Issei, you go and get that Sacred Gear back from that bitch." Hakai said as he walked towards the army of stray exorcists. "Kiba and Koneko, go with them. I will deal with these cannon fodder."
The three Devils looked at him, surprise by his claim of dealing with so many enemies by himself. Raynare however just found it amusing as she laughed arrogantly. "Ha! You, deal with all of them by yourself human? I would laugh if I didn't recall how you humiliated me last time. All of you, slaughter them!" She instructed her army.
"Yes Raynare-sama!" The stray exorcists shouted as one, before charging towards the group. The Devils readied themselves for a fight while Hakai merely stood there, eyes closed.
Just as the exorcists were about to reach him, Hakai's eyes opened, now red. A burst of invisible energy shot out of him and engulfed the room. Everyone felt shivers crawling up their entire bodies as the wave of energy went past them. Then one by one, the stray exorcists dropped down to the ground like lifeless dolls, losing conscious immediately. The only ones who were still standing were Hakai, Issei, Koneko, Kiba and Raynare, the last four unaffected as Hakai was not aiming for them.
"Holy shit…" Issei mumbled.
"I-incredible" Kiba muttered.
"…Very strong." Koneko said in her monotone voice, but still held surprise in them. Her Nekoshou abilities allowed her to feel how much energy Hakai released far better than the others could. It appeared that Hakai was constantly surprising them tonight.
Raynare was flabbergasted. Her entire army of Stray Exorcists, defeated in an instant. Sure she and her comrades just hastily assembled them to act as fodder, but she never expected for something this to happen. She had no idea if they were either dead, unconscious or both but she knew that right now it was just herself but she wouldn't let it end here, she wouldn't! She was a Fallen Angel elite! She would not let all her planning go to waste by a few low class Devil scums and a mere human!
"Damn you!" She cried as she hastily formed a red spear of light and flew it at Hakai before flying out another exit within the chamber. She did not even notice Hakai merely swatting the spear to the side with just his hand.
"She's getting away!" Issei yelled.
"No she's not." Hakai said. "I can sense someone familiar placing a barrier around the church. She won't be able to escape while it is up. Hurry and stop her. I will get Asia down." Hakai ordered.
"Right, come on you guys!" Issei said to Kiba and Koneko and the three quickly went back up the stairs.
Hakai refocused his attention on the lifeless body hanging on the crucifix. Not even giving the down exorcists a glance he proceeded towards the stand. Once he reached it he began to snap apart the chains holding Asia. After they were removed Hakai gently cradled her form in his arms, a sorrowful look on his face as he stared at her face. For the first time Hakai noticed a small smile on Asia's face. He was confused at first before he realized that, despite the fact she was going to die, Asia must have known that Issei would come to save her because they were friends. Hakai couldn't help but smile a little bit at that before a loud voice shouted up above.
[Explosion!]
(The Church)
"This is for Asia you bitch!" Issei cried as he slammed his now newly formed Sacred Gear into Raynare's face. The impact was so great that it sent the Fallen Angel flying, crashing through the Church's walls before hitting the barrier outside. Her body than landed harshly on the ground right in front of Rias and Akeno's feet.
"Ara, it looks like our kouhai has matured." Akeno commented as she looked at the unconscious form of Raynare.
"Indeed" Rias replied before deactivating the barrier. "Akeno, would you be so kind to bring her inside?" Rias asked her Queen.
"Ufufufu, of course Buchou." Akeno said as she dragged Raynare back inside the Church. Waiting for the two Devils were Koneko, Kiba and Issei. But what caught Rias' attention was the red gauntlet on her Pawn's left arm, which now covered his entire hand, fingers and reached his elbow. She recognized it immediately. "Boosted Gear…" She muttered as she stared at the Sacred Gear.
"Buchou…" Issei's voice snapped Rias from her stupor. She looked at her Pawn couldn't help but feel sadden at the grieving look on his face. It was clear that they were too slow to save the nun.
"Issei, I am so sorry." Rias cooed as she tried to comfort the brunette. "Where is she right now?"
"Asia is right here." Another voice said.
Everyone turned their heads to see Hakai walking out of the hidden doorway. In his arm was Asia, who had an exorcist coat wrapped around her naked body. She had a peaceful look on her face, was what Issei noticed through teary eyes as Hakai walked up to him. Without a word Hakai passed the body to Issei, the latter holding onto it with great care, like it was a fragile object. Issei gave his sempai and nod of gratitude.
Once making sure Issei had her, Hakai proceeded to walk towards the exit, none of the Devils making any attempts of stopping him. However as he passed by Rias, his eyes locked onto hers as if passing a silent message through them. As if understanding the message, Rias ordered Akeno to awaken Raynare while pulling out a red chess piece, a bishop to be precise, from her person. Meanwhile Hakai continued towards the exit.
Once he was outside the church Hakai continued on his trek home. He just hoped Megumi hadn't woken up while he was gone, Hakai hated worrying his little sister. But as he walked, he stopped midway. "Shouldn't you be saving that subordinate of yours, Azazel?" Hakai asked, turning his head to the left.
Leaning against a tree was a male, who appeared to be in his twenties. He had short black hair with golden bangs and a black goatee. The man was wearing a simple black suit with a white dress shirt underneath and matching black pants and brown shoes. He had a relaxed look on his face as he stared at Hakai with violet eyes.
"I will, though I'll have her return the Sacred Gear so no need to worry." The identified Azazel said as he began making his way towards the Church. "However I am surprise you knew who I was. Have we met before?" He asked.
"No" Hakai replied. "But I have been told of what you looked like and your interest in Sacred Gears. So if you decide to go after my sister…" Here Hakai's eyes turned blood red.
"Whoa, whoa! Easy there" Azazel said as he raised his hands. "I wasn't planning on it. Besides she's too young for me." He explained jokingly. "Though I am curious. You're last name is Keiji correct? I recall a famous exorcist from a few years back with the same last name. Are you perhaps related too her?"
"Who knows?" Hakai replied with a shrug before continuing his walk home. Azazel just watched him for a few seconds before heading towards the Church to save his foolish subordinate from death.
Well there is chapter 1! Hope you all enjoy it and review. Hakai's abilities/personalities are kind of a combination of Asura's Wrath, Darksiders, Onepunch Man, and One Piece. I am kind of putting this arc in one chapter and will be doing the same with the Riser arc. My reason is because the Excalibur arc is where things begin to get interesting. Pairings are undecided at the moment and concerning Kiyome will be making minor appearances. And as I said before please leave a review!
Wacko12
P.S I will probably be working on the next chapter for "Beginning of END" first so the next chapter for this story might be a while.
