Chapter 2 Lucifer's Eyes
6 years ago
In the Underworld there are devils who don't side with the Old Satan faction or the New Great Satans and the government. These devils are known as Extra Devils.
There is a small town in the Underworld called Maki where some of the devils spend their time just fighting, eating, gambling, and sleeping.
The town resembled an Old Western town except it was always purple in the sky because the town chose not to adapt to the new system.
All eyes were on the little boy as he walked into the town but nobody dared to say anything to him. He had spiky crimson red hair and a glare on his face. He was known as the Prince of Gremory with the family class being Duke.
The boy walked up to an old building with Saloon written on it. He opened the double doors and was met with a middle aged man covered with piercings on his face and a surgical scar over his right cheek.
He was wearing a light blue sleeveless robe, white pants, and black boots. The man also had a gray ponytail and was holding two surgical knives covered in blood.
"The Gremory Prince Kaos" the man said with a smile. "What brings you to my neck of the woods?" he asked.
Kaos simply dropped a suit case on the ground and money spilled out of it. The man smiled at this, he was known as Shigure, a devil doctor who conducted experiments on people or objects. The Great Satans allowed him to do it as long as the patients willingly wanted it done and the experiments were kept under control.
"I want the Lucifer's Eyes" Kaos said causing the man to frown at him.
"Go home kid, this isn't a toy store. That kind of power will eat a brat like you alive" Shigure said turning his back on him. Shigure was respected in this town and his word was final here nobody would mess with him or his experiments.
Kaos was angry at his change in attitude "I said give me the Jagan eyes" the man tossed the surgical knives at the wall almost hitting Kaos.
"Those cursed eyes require energy to function. You may be a high class devil but even Ultimate Class devils fear what those eyes could do" Shigure explained. "You misuse those eyes, you ignore the pain they are causing you and you'll be dead in a second…go home kid work on that Destruction Power your family is so fond of" Shigure added turning away from Kaos.
He realized Kaos wasn't going to leave and sighed. "You'll have to sign this" Shigure said handing him a contract. Shigure knew Sirzechs Lucifer would punish him if he killed his little brother but they couldn't put him to death if he had that.
Kaos signed it and then followed Shigure into an operating room. "I'll have to strap you in" Shigure informed Kaos before strapping him into a surgical table.
He then grabbed a marker and marked around Kaos's eyes. "You'll be put under for the operations. Hallucinations and Vivid dreams are natural" Shigure explained before placing a needle with an anesthetic shot into Kaos's arm.
Kaos fell asleep after about a minute. "I didn't think it would take the stubborn brat so quickly to fall asleep" Shigure said to himself with a smile. He then began the work of operating on Kaos.
The Lucifer's eyes were really a special kind of sacred gear that is called "God's Mistake" because they eat the person who possesses them energy to the point where they almost die. There was only one known person who ever was able to survive using them. He was a magician who sacrificed a large portion of his energy in exchange for his life force. This tends to feed the beast inside the eyes into becoming their slave.
*Dream* Kaos was by a lake. He ducked his head down to get a drink but suddenly the lake turned into fire.
Kaos turned around to see a dragon standing there. It had red eyes and black dragons. It was a European dragon that stood on its hind legs and had two black dragon wings on its back. "You think you can control me boy" the dragon said looking at Kaos with his blood red eyes.
"I offer my magic energy as substitute for my life" Kaos said meeting the dragon's gaze. The dragon seemed to smile at this.
"I will give you my power and sleep dormant inside of you. Don't ever open my door or this will mean the end for you" the dragon then blew a gray and black fire at Kaos causing him to scream.
Kaos woke up to see a smile Shigure looking over him. "For a second there I thought I killed the second heir to the Gremory" Shigure said with a smile.
Kaos looked on his left arm to see a black Chinese dragon wrapped around his own arm. "I was planning on writing my famous S Logo on your hand but I guess that dragon's enough" Shigure said with a smile.
Kaos looked in the mirror to see his natural blue-green eyes had changed to a dark golden yellow. "Interesting" Kaos said with a smile. He then formed a gray and black ball of fire in his hand.
"Take a few days off before jumping into battle your magic energy needs to recharge" Shigure said looking at the young boy. Kaos could tell that half of his magic energy was gone but Kaos had a smile of satisfaction on his face as he left the town.
Present/Now
Kaos and Valerie had finally arrived at the front of the Occult Research Club. "Time for you to meet my sister" Kaos said to Valerie. The two then knocked on the door and waited for an answer.
They were finally greeted by Rias's familiar. "Master Rias is at school at the moment but you two can come in and wait for her to get home" she said bowing to them.
Valerie was about to walk in when she was stopped by Kaos. "What's up" she asked looking at him with her icy blue eyes.
"How about I take you on a stray devil hunt while we wait for her" he said. Valerie nodded and the two simply left.
A boy with brown hair that covered most of his face and hazel eyes was lazily lying under a big oak tree with earphones in his ears listening to music. He noticed the looks the looks of lust the female students were giving him as they passed by but he simply ignored them.
Jaden wasn't wearing the normal boy uniform instead he only wore the long sleeve white button down shirt without the tie and instead of the black blazer he wore the a gray jacket but he wore black dress pants and dress shoes.
The boy yawned and picked up his bag deciding to go to class. "Lazy brother" he turned around to see his sister there. "Jaden what did mom tell you about being a social outcast" she said with a goofy smile and putting her hands on her hip.
Jaden just sighed and was about to walk away when she grabbed his hand. He was only a couple of inches taller than her being 5'6 while she was 5'4. His sister had a beautiful curvy figure along with her happy attitude and personality she was becoming very popular.
Meanwhile despite being good looking and athletic Jaden was a loner who barely liked to socialize with anybody.
"I'm serious" she said looking at him with her green eyes, she also has long brown hair that extends to her back and was wearing the female uniform. "I feel sad when I see you're alone and I'm having fun with all my friends" she said giving him puppy dog eyes.
Jaden smiled and put his hands on her shoulder "I'm fine Analise" he said before going to class and leaving her alone. What Jaden didn't notice was the Crimson hair ruin princess had been watching the two the whole time.
Kaos and Valerie arrived at an Old Cabin. The two stepped inside and noticed it was completely dark but being devils they could see perfectly.
"Come out" Kaos said pulling out the new holy sword Michael had gave him. Suddenly a giant muscular stray devil with two horns on its head appeared. Kaos and Valerie then noticed that its tail was composed of three giant snakes.
The stray devil then laughed crazily causing Valerie to jump back a sword then appeared in its hand. "What is it?" she asked Kaos.
"This is called a stray devil" he said pointing his sword at the monster. "When a devil disobeys their master and runs away or kills them this is what they become without someone to control their energy" he explained.
"Scary" Valerie said looking at the monster.
"I know" he said his eyes turning purple. "And that's why they must be exterminated". Two black devil wings then appeared on Kaos's back and he flew at the devil.
Not being very experienced with a sword especially a holy sword it was slowing Kaos down. "Death Bringer" the fallen angel yelled. Suddenly a blast of red energy shot out of its mouth hitting Kaos head on making him fall to the ground.
Two of the snake tails then shot at Kaos but he dodged it jumping in the air. "Chaos Destruction" a orb of red and black destruction magic energy formed in Kaos's hands he then shot it at the two snake tails making them cutting them off.
"Damn" Kaos said to himself he noticed that the last tail was going straight for Valerie. "Get out of the way" he growled realizing in midair he wasn't going to be fast enough to make it in time.
"Divide" to Kaos's surprise when Valerie touched the head it ripped in half causing the stray devil to scream in pain. He then noticed two blue and white wings appear on her back.
Kaos took this time to take his shot and cut the stray devil's head off. When he noticed it was dead he looked at Valerie and stared at her in disbelief for a few seconds.
"What?" she said feeling uncomfortable that he was staring.
"You don't realize this but your value just tripled" Kaos said. Valerie glared at him for that remark but followed him anyways.
School had just ended and Jaden was leaving when he was stopped by a boy with short blonde and grey eyes wearing the school uniform. "Do I know you?" Jaden asked.
The boy just smiled at him "I'm Kiba Yuuto and the President of the Occult Research Club would like to invite you to the school meeting" he said with a polite smile.
Jaden remembered learning about Kiba, one of the few good looking boys at the school who wasn't a pathetic pervert. He was called "the Prince of Kuoh" and by president Jaden assumed he meant Rias Gremory.
"Thanks but I have other things to do" he said before putting earphones in his ears. He then pressed the play button on his phone and started walking.
Jaden knew his sister must've had something to do with it considering she joined the club a few days ago. Jaden didn't need his little sister setting him up.
Jaden went straight home and was met with both his parents. "How was school today?" his mom, Mrs. Ashford asked him with a smile.
His parents were both doctors making the family very wealthy. The house was two-stories with six rooms, three being guest rooms.
Fine" he said walking upstairs to his room and closing the door. He then laid down on his bed and started listening to music.
"Did you ask Jaden?" Analise asked Kiba realizing he was coming back alone.
"He said no and I could tell there was no way of convincing him" Kiba said with a sigh before sitting on the couch.
Suddenly the doorbell ranged and Koneko got up to answer it. "What's up" Koneko said opening the door to see it was Valerie and Kaos. The two stepped inside and Kaos was greeted with a hug from Rias.
Her smile widened when she noticed Valerie. "I see you finally got a peerage member" she said with a smile. She could tell the girl was his servant by the way she acted.
"I'm Valerie" she said with a smile realizing she was talking to Kaos's sister. 'Why does it matter' she thought to herself.
"That's Akeno my Queen" Rias said pointing to the girl with long black hair, violet eyes, and a buxom figure. "Kiba my knight" she said pointing to the handsome blonde who waved at her. "Koneko my rook" she said pointing to the girl with shoulder length white hair and a emotionless expression on her face. "And finally Analise my new four piece pawn" she said pointing to the smiling girl with long brown hair and green eyes.
Valerie could tell she was friendly so she decided to take a seat next to her. After everyone was settled and took a seat on the couch Rias decided to ask her brother questions.
"Why did you come to Kuoh" Rias asked him with a smile.
"I decided to move here and join Kuoh Academy. I'm already having my house built it'll be ready in a few days" he explained.
Rias was happy at this; glad her brother was finally going to attend school. "What piece did you use to reincarnate Valerie?" Rias asked pointing to the girl who was chatting with Analise.
"A mutation piece plus a knight" Kaos said. You could hear a pin drop as everyone in the room went quiet and all eyes were on Valerie.
"What?" Valerie asked confused feeling nervous that everyone's eyes were on her.
Akeno decided to break the silence by explaining a mutation piece to Valerie "a mutation piece is a special evil piece that can make up for someone having too much energy for just a normal piece. Only one out of ten devils even have one" she explained to the two.
"So what makes Valerie so powerful that she required a mutation piece?" Kiba asked interested in knowing.
"Two things" Kaos said with a smile. "One she's a descendant of the Original Lucifer and Two, she possesses the divine dividing" Kaos said with a smile.
"A Longinus" Analise blurted out having just learned about the thirteen ancient sacred gears.
"What's a Longinus?" Valerie asked tired of not understanding half of what they were saying.
"A Longinus is one of the thirteen special sacred gears that have the ability to kill God. The divine dividing has the legendary heavenly dragon Albion sealed inside of it" Analise explained with as mile receiving a clap from Koneko.
"That's why today you were able to divide the snake tail in half by touching it" Kaos explained. Valerie nodded at this explanation understanding some of what they were saying.
"Ok well enough of that" Rias said. "Do you know where you're staying?" Rias asked.
"I was going to stay at a hotel until my house is finished" Kaos said, receiving a glare from Rias.
"My younger brother isn't staying at a hotel" Rias said causing Kaos to smile knowing her house would be better than a hotel. "I'll allow you to stay in my house if and only if you do one thing" Rias said with a smile.
"What thing?" Kaos asked confused.
"Consider it a for your own good kind of thing" Rias said with a laugh.
Jaden was walking to the Occult Research club with an angry scowl on his face. His mother had told him to go pick up Analise from the Occult Research club.
It was the middle of the night and she just barged in his room and told him to go get her. Jaden suddenly noticed a black wing fall on top of his head; he casually flicked it off and kept walking.
Jaden then noticed a girl standing in front of him. She is wearing black, strap-like objects (resembling leather) around and under her breasts, a thong-like piece held around her hips by three thin straps, gloves that run right up her arms with small lengths of chains hanging from them, shoulder guard-like objects on her shoulders with three large spikes sprouting from her right shoulder, and black thigh-high heel boots. She also has long black hair and violet eyes.
"What do you want" Jaden said when she didn't say anything he walked past her. Suddenly his eyes flashed red and he saw the girl throw a light spear at him.
"Does your name happen to be Jaden Ashford?" she asked with a smile.
"How do you know my name?" Jaden asked her with a scowl on his face.
"I'm Raynare" she said with a smile.
"That's nice" Jaden said figuring she was one of his stalkers from school. 'Why are the girls from this school so weird' he thought as he kept walking.
He looked back at the girl and saw she hasn't even moved. He kept walking and like a reflex he jumped out of the way of a light spear.
"What the hell" Jaden thought. He then noticed the black angel wings on her back and his face turned to one of fear. He did the only sensible thing a person in his situation would do and started running.
While running he was dodging light spears the girl threw at him. Suddenly one of the spears pierced him in the shoulder and it burned.
The girl then started to laugh sadistically. "You're pretty weak for someone I was ordered to kill" she said. The girl then charged another one and tossed it at him.
Jaden easily dodged it and Raynare watched him struggle to get up with a light spear in his shoulder. She laughed at the scene like it was the funniest thing in the world.
Suddenly Jaden felt a surge of power inside of him and his eyes flashed red. "Unholy light" suddenly a sphere made of black energy appeared in his hand. He tossed it at Raynare but she easily dodged it.
"That's new" she said with a malicious smile ready to get revenge. Raynare then created two light spears and pierced both his legs making him fall to his knees.
"Boost" The girl's face turned to one of shock as she watched the red dragon gauntlet appear on his arm.
"Impossible it's supposed to be a regular twice critical" she said with fear in her voice.
"Unholy light" a black sphere then appeared in Jaden's hand. "Boost" when he tossed it the gauntlet made the announcement doubling the sphere's power. The sphere shot straight through the girls wing making her fall to the ground and cry in pain.
The girl retracted her wings realizing she couldn't win Raynare ran away leaving Jaden alone. Jaden eyes turned back to normal and he screamed.
"What the fuck" he said looking at the red gauntlet on his arm. Jaden tried to walk but when he looked down he noticed he was bleeding on both his legs. Realizing he couldn't walk he fell to the ground and called for help but nobody was coming.
"Guess you saved me a walking trip" Jaden looked up to see a boy with spiky crimson hair and piercing dark yellow eyes standing over him.
"Who are you" Jaden asked trying to meet the man gaze but the injuries in his shoulders and legs were becoming too much.
"As of right now you can consider me your savior" Kaos said looking at the boy. Kaos then pulled out four pawn pieces and a mutation piece deciding to save the other four for a rainy day.
"You're going through mutation pieces like they're candy. How many did Zechs give you?" Kaos and Jaden both turned around to see Rias standing right there.
"Only two" Kaos replied looking at his sister.
'What is the most popular girl in school doing here?' Jaden thought looking at Rias.
"And you're going to use your final one instead of all your pawns?" Rias asked him.
"You can substitute a mutation piece in exchange of another piece not being strong enough but you can't just use a mutation piece to turn a servant. Fifteen pieces will always be the limit" Kaos said to her.
"Alright it's your peerage" Rias said backing down.
"What the fuck are you two talking about" Jaden yelled out gaining the attention of both Rias and Kaos. They were talking like he wasn't dying.
"Ok I'm going to offer you a deal" Kaos said with a smile holding up the five evil pieces. "You can A. die or B. become my devil servant" Kaos said.
"Deal" Jaden said sarcastically thinking this was some kind of a joke. Kaos then smiled and put the five evil pieces to Jaden's head. "I wish to reincarnate Jaden as my devil servant. May he be reincarnated as a servant of my Gremory household" Kaos said the ancient chant and to Jaden's surprise the pieces absorbed in.
Jaden then felt his eyes get heavy as he passed out.
