Chapter 1: Truth

As I grab my cloak from the hanger, I hear foot steps walk up behind me. I put on my cloak and they stop. I look behind myself to see my knight and best friend standing there.

"So you are going?" he asks me.

"Yes," I respond and look away. "With Sirzechs sealed away fighting Trihexa, I can finally return home without dealing with the repercussions." I lift the cloak's hood over my head. "They need my help now more than ever and now its time for the truth to be told." I turn around and walk over to my friend. I place my right hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry so much, Yin." I smile and walk away.

I hear him sigh so I stop and look bad. I laugh a little. He turns to me. "What are you laughing for?" he asks demandingly.

"You are just too series," I respond with a chuckle. I turn to leave. "Yin my loyal knight and best friend, you need to focus less on me and more on what is coming. Also I need you to gather the rest of my peerage."

"Yes master," He responds. I walk out the door.

As I was walking down the hall I heard a voice. "Are you leaving master?" a female voice questions.

"Hilda is that you?" I ask shockingly as I stop.

"Yes," she responds as she walks out into the light. I notice she is in her normal appearance. "I returned just a few minutes ago and over heard you talking to Yin. Also you didn't answer my question."

I walk up to her and hug her. I smile as say, "Yes I am going home. It's time I shock everyone with the truth. Don't worry Hilda, my cute little rook." She looked up at me and I poked her nose. She smiled and I let her go. "Please help Yin gather the rest of the peerage."

"Yes master," She says proudly and runs to down the hall to catch up to Yin.

"You would never expect someone who looks like her to have that kind of power," I comment to myself as I continue to walk down the hall and out of the building.

Once outside I look up at the night sky which is clear and full of stars. "3 years and I am returning home soon," I say to myself with a bitter smile. "If only it was under better reasons." I sigh. "Maybe I should talk with Ajuka first and get all the details." I lift my hand up and create a teleportation circle. I step into it.

Part 2

As I continue down the hall toward a room, I can hear voices. One of the voices sounds like Ajuka but the other one is hard to place at the moment. I get up to the room and lean against the wall and listen in on their conversation.

"Supplies will be ready soon Azazel," I hear Ajuka say. Sneaky Ajuka you have a communication device to contact the people in the barrier fighting Trihexa. Though I am not surprised but this will make my plan easier. I smile.

"How is Issei doing?" I hear Azazel ask.

"He is doing great," Ajuka answers. "Though for his next match it will be against Rias, so it will be an interesting test for him and her." I sigh hearing that. I learned of the relationship between Issei and Rias during my information gathering a few months ago. I don't like that they have to face each other but I understand the reasoning. "It seems someone is here."

I walk into the room with a smile. "As to be expected from you Ajuka," I comment and walk up to him.

"Who is this?" Azazel questions Ajuka.

Before Ajuka could answer I chimed in, "who I am will be known soon but if you wish to know sooner ask Sirzechs who I believe can hear me." I smirk as I watch Azazel turn to look at Sirzechs who is walking up.

"You are not supposed to be there," Sirzechs says once he appears.

"Well you are sealed in a barrier," I begin to say. "So I am returning from exile, so I can help my home. They need all the help they can get. Besides I doubt Ajuka is going to punish me with everything currently going on. I am here to speak to him but since I found out about this. I will be telling you all something important. In one month I will be going into that barrier and I am going to end the Trihexa problem."

"How do you plan on doing that when all of us combined can't stop it?" I hear Azazel question in the background.

"I guess you will see in a month," I say and shut off the communications. I turn to Ajuka, "we need to talk and I suggest you summon Shiva." I walk over to a chair and sit down. I cross my arms and look at Ajuka again. He contacts Shiva.

Shiva arrives and helps Ajuka explain everything to me over the next few hours. I sigh."So many current problems and a very bad future problem," I comment. "I believe the other worlds response will be an invasion. This Trihexa problem needs dealt with now not later. We will need them for that invasion."

"What can you do that they can't?" Shiva questions me.

"I have been researching seals ever since I learned Trihexa was going to be revived," I answer. "I need to research more seals so I may need Mephisto to help me and probably Issei's fiancé Rosswiese. Though if I could figure out the forbidden seals God used were, it would help me better deal with the thing." I leaned back in the chair and looked up.

"I think I understand now, "Shiva comments."You are hiding more than just your identity, aren't you?" I look at him and just smile.

"I have 2 secrets and soon both will be shown," I announce. "The first one will be after the Issei and Rias match. The other will be in the barrier against Trihexa." I turn to Ajuka. "I do hope when that time comes you will show all of Team DxD this little communication secret so they can watch the battle."

"Well it seems things have been sorted and figured out now," Shiva says. "So I will be going." he then teleports away.

"Before you ask Ajuka I will not be returning my pieces," I state. "I have used all but two, a rook and a pawn. I took what was mine and used them. I know you were going to bring it up." I get up and walk over to a table. I place a king piece on the table. "A peace offering but I was going to give it to you anyway." he takes the king piece and locks it up.

"So you had the last one," he comments.

"I was going to original use it as leverage," I explain. "With current events I decided it would be better just to give it to you." I grabbed something from my jacket and place it on the table. It looks like a larger pawn piece with letters written on it. "This is what I really wanted to talk about."

Ajuka walks up to the table and grabs the piece. He begins to examine it. "What is this?" he questions. "It feels similar to my system but at the same time different."

"Its one of my projects," I start to explain. "During my travels these last 3 years, I saw a lot of pain. So I started to look into your piece system to create something new and this is the proto type. Its current named is the Second Chance Piece. If it works right then I can bring someone back to life no matter how long they have been dead, for a certain amount of time." Ajuka is now looking at me. "I have already selected who I am going to use it on as well."

"Who would that be?" he asks me.

"Akeno's mom," I answer with no hesitation. "My original job was to protect Rias so I know everything about her peerage, Issei's peerage, and team DxD. I want to give Akeno and Baraqiel a proper good-bye but I do know I might make things worse so I am hoping to piece can mutate totally revive her. Sadly though it's not finished and I need more time."

"You have grown," he comments.

"Once you have everything taken away you have to grow up," I comment while looking away. "I have another project but that is for another time. I must go and prepare for the announcement. It was good to see you again Ajuka." I turn to him and smile before teleporting away.

Part 3

Days later during the Issei verse Rias match, I was walking around in the stadium. I was wearing the cloak and had the hood up; I was also hiding my face from by wearing a mask. I changed my appearance to look like what I am supposed to be. After looking around for what I was looking for, i walk down this tunnel to watch the match.

"For such an important match going on there is that many guards," I comment to myself. I stop in the right spot for me to see the match but for people to not see me.

"Rias's knight Kiba has been retired," says the announcer.

"Oh darn i missed that much," I say in disappointed tone. The screen pans to Rias and gasper facing Issei's queen. "Ah Grayfia you are being sneaky, doesn't matter if you change your appearance I can still sense your aura." I watch as Rias puts on the balor armor combination. I sigh and look at my right hand. I focus and appear in darkness. "So this is what the balor sacred gear looks like."

"Who are you and how did you get here?" Balor gasper questions me.

"I am here to ask a favor," I answer. "For this battle can you just support Rias? The battle with this person is a battle for ideals."

"Why should I listen to you?" he questions again.

"That person is Grayfia," I tell him.

"I understand," he says. I open my eyes and see that the balor gasper has switch to a support role and Rias is no longer armored. I can see she isn't happy but i still smile.

"Sorry Rias but you need to face her on your own for the moment," I say to myself. I just now notice the people in the commentary booth, its Venerana and Zeoticus. I smile as how perfect the scenario has become.

As I am watching the match continue on I hear two people walking up behind me. I turn to look at who is approaching me, its Sairorg and the user of the prism dragon Saji. I sigh. "I guess i didn't completely hide my aura but maybe i let out to much when did that," I comment. "I know you are to deal with me but can you wait until the match is over."

"Why should we do that?" Saji questions me.

"I am not here to interfere," I answer. "I am here to make an announcement after the match." I look over at Sairorg who had nodded at my request. "Thank you." I turn back to finish watching the match.

After awhile it ended the way I expected it to, Issei won. I know Rias was not going to like it but she did well for awhile before she was forced to use the balor armor. I turned to Sairorg and Saji with a smile. I lifted up my arm and signaled for them to come at me.

Sairorg was the first to come at me. He came at me with a fist and i blocked it. I was sent flying back into the arena. I landed and slid into the center. I heard the crowd gasp but i was focused on Sairorg who was now walking into the arena with Saji behind him, in Balance Breaker Armor. He tells Saji to stay back and then charges at me with another punch. I jump up dodging it and then spin kicking him in the side of the head. I move back after touching the ground. "Nice kick," he compliments me.

"Thank you," I respond. "My fist is stronger. It seems the rumor is true."

"What rumor?" he asks me.

"When you face Sairorg you just want to get into a fist fight," I answer with a chuckle. He smiles and comes at me with another punch. I raise my left arm up and deflect his punch. After that i respond with my own punch right into the face of his face. "Even with a deflection it still hurts." I jump back and rub my left arm. Just then something grabbed my arm. I look back and Saji has sent out a line that has connected to my arm. I grab the line and smirk. I yank it up lifting him off the ground and slamming the line back down. He slams into the ground hard.

"What is with this guy?' Saji questions while getting back up. I flip back and land behind him. I place my hand on his back and smirk.

"Not even your balance breaker is enough to stop me," I inform him and his balance breaker shatters. He stumbles forward in shock. He then swings at me and i catch his fist. I wrap his own line around his arm. I then throw him up and yank the line, slamming him into the ground again. As he is lying on the ground i stand above him and then crouch down. "Virtra i am disappointed in you. Show me those flames you are so proud of."

He activates his Balance Breaker again and shoots out flames. I jump up dodging the flames. He gets back up and comes after me again. I start laughing and I grab the line again. I smirk and break the line. I close my eyes and the black flames engulf me. He walks up closer to me. I open my eyes and the flames are blasted away. He steps back.

"So close Saji," i say to him with a smirk. "Just not enough, your flames are disappointing to me. You have potential to bring Virtra into a new age of power. The Sacred Gear is evolving to new levels. This is a good thing but stronger people will just keeping coming. You did well for now but you face someone who is almost God level in power." I reach him and place my hand on his shoulder. "Reach for the stars and follow your dream Saji. Also find someone you love and ask that person out." I punch him in the stomach once again shattering his armor. He falls and i turn back to Sairorg.

"It can't be him," I hear Venerana and Zeoticus say in shocked tone. The crowd starts to react to the comment. I am glad my plan is starting to work. Its time I now bring out the main phase of my plan to bring even more shock to the crowd.

"Come Sairorg hit me with your best shot," I taunt him. He charges at me and goes to hit me with power right hook. I jump into the air to dodge again. I manage to dodge but my mask shatters. While in the air I create a small red ball in front of my right hand. After the ball is complete I grab the ball and it engulfs my right hand in a power aura. I then come down and slam my fist right into Sairorg's face. He goes down and I jump back to wait.

"Was that the power of destruction engulfed in his hand?" I hear someone ask.

"So it is him," Venerana comments. Sairorg stands up and looks around at everyone.

"Lady Venerana knows him?" someone in the crowd ask. "Just who is this guy?"

I grab my hood and pull it off revealing my crimson hair. The ground gasps in shock. "Yes Venerana it is me or should I say mother?" The crowd is speechless. "My name is Cartil Gremary; I am the son of Zeoticus and Venerana, younger brother of Sirzechs, and the twin brother of Rias. Since it seems like you will now have to do damage control, I will meet you back at the Gremary estate mother and father. Also bring team DxD." I state and then teleport away.

I am the first to arrive and i am greeted by Grayfia. I walk up to her with a smile. "It's been awhile Grayfia," I comment. "It's good to see you again." I look down. "Though I wish it was under better circumstances. I assume they already sent word i was coming. I hope you will be at this meeting"

"Yes they did," she answers. "Come this way. "She leads me to a room that is full of chairs. I don't remember this room so it must be new. I look around the room. She turns around to leave. "Someone will bring you some tea. I have missed you as well. Milicus will be happy that you have returned as well." She leaves.

"Thank you Grayfia," I turn back and say with a smile. I walk up to the chair in the front of the room. It's a single chair facing the rest of them. I sit down and close my eyes. "I am home after 3 years, now if only she was here this would be better." I sigh.

"Your tea is here sir," a female voice tells me. I open my eyes and take the teas.

"Thank you," I say. This girl seems familiar. "Reyni, Is that you?" she smiles and hugs me tight.

"I am so glad you are back," she tells me while she is crying from joy. "I missed you so much. Even though your appearance is different, I knew it was you."

"More like my appearance is how it should be," I inform her. "Please stay and listen in the meeting." She nods. She stops hugging me and stands next to me. I look as the door opens and the second to arrive is...Rias and Issei with their peerages. "Well this is complicated earlier than expected." I sigh. They take their seats but Rias is glaring at me for some reason.

"That maid is hot," I hear Issei comment. Then Koneko punches him in the arm.

"Do not stare at her," Grayfia tells him with a stern tone. "Her name is Reyni and she will now be serving under Cartil." I look up at Reyni, who is now red. I smile at her. "Rias you are going to learn one of the secrets of the Gremary family today."

"Rias technically knows me but under a different look," I state after looking back at everyone. "Picture my hair dark brown and my eyes purple. You will get who I am after that." I watch her focus and then see as it clicks in her mind. "It seems you got it." She is now crying and Issei grabs her hand. "I was sent into exile after i did something bad. I came back to reveal the truth and to help since Sirzechs is gone with the other leaders."

The door opens again and this time, its Sairorg, Sona, and Agares with their peerages. They take their seats but Sairorg walks up to me. "That last punch had you threw at quiet the impact," he comments. "Maybe after this whole issue is settled we should have a rating game." He reaches out with his fist.

"It would be an honor," i say and fist bump with him. "I want to wait until i have my final two members before facing anyone in a rating game. Which i hope will be soon." As he walks away, I look over at Akeno who is messing with Issei at this time. "This phase is so cute. Though this phase will probably last for awhile until the kids start arriving, then it makes everything more chaotic." Issei and all the fiancés with him turn red. I laugh. "I am going to enjoy teasing you all now."

The door opens against and the rest of team DxD arrives. They take their seats. "Did Vali not come?" I hear Issei ask.

"He doesn't care about this meeting so he decided not to come," a blonde haired man answers. That must be Arthur, I think to myself. I sigh and lift my hand into the air create a summoning circle. I point my finger to the floor next to Arthur and forcibly summon Vali to the meeting.

"All of DxD are required Vali," I state while glaring at him. "I have also sealed your ability to teleport away. You will want to know about me now for what will be revealed later. Once you learn what power I hide you will want to face me." Vali sighs and leans against a wall.

An hour later finally Mother and father arrive. Mother walks up to me. "Do you have any idea the mess you just cause?" she asks in an angry tone.

"Yes, that was part of my plan," I fire back. "Once again you care about everyone else and not your own son." I can see the shock in faces. "Having children is hard for pureblooded devils we know that. What are even rarer are twins. I am Rias's twin brother but my identity was kept secret to protect Rias. I had to change my appearance and hide who I am, just to protect Rias and everyone else in this family." I stand up and turn around from everyone.

"Cartil," Mother says as she tries to put her hand on my shoulder.

"Don't," I tell her. "No matter what I feel, I now understand now that I have awakened that power within me. So now i hope that one day you will be proud of me, mother" I walk to the back of the room and lean against a wall. I stare at the floor as everyone talks about what I had just said.

After awhile I look over at Grayfia, who seems to be thinking of something sad. "Issei, can you come over to me for a second please?" I ask him. He looks to Rias and she nods. He runs over to me. "I do not know all the details but I do know she was originally supposed to go into the barrier. What happened?"

"Sirzechs, used a spell and forced her to sleep," he explains. "It seems he wanted her to stay behind for Milicus. It was painful to watch." I pat his shoulder.

"Thank you," I tell him. I walk over to Grayfia who is looking down. "It must have been very painful for you to go through that." I use my left hand to lift her chin up and look her directly into her eyes. "I will bring brother back to you." She looks at me and shock. Everyone else stops talking from shock at my declaration.

"Is that?" I hear a female voice ask. I look back and it seems to be a blonde girl, who I think is Asia, staring at my left hand.

"It does look like one," I see the orange haired girl and the blue haired girl say at the same time. I believe those two are Irina and Xenovia. I see that most everyone is focusing on my hand now. I turn around and hold up my left hand.

"Yes it's a wedding ring," I announce. "It is one of the factors of my exile but I have no regrets."

"How long have you been married?" Akeno asks me.

"3 years ago I married the woman who stole my heart," I tell her with a smile. I turn to my sister. "Yes my dear sister, I got married before you. I am glad you found the right man for you." I am quickly surrounded by all of Issei's girls.

"Please tell us the story," they plead with me.

"Now is not the time," I protest. "If she appears then I will tell everyone the story." They all frown. "Issei I have 2 favors to ask of you." He walks up to me. "I would like to stay at your house and before you girls protest. I will just stay in the room with the pool. I will also need to borrow Rosswiese for the next month; her skill with magic is a must. Le fey can help too if she wants."
