And I'm finally done with chapter 1. I decided that the events of Guilty Crown did happen and not just as a dream. This will cover the short time the trio spent active in GC universe. This is the only chapter fully involving Guilty Crown universe before the trio return to DxD verse. This is an alternate retelling of the GC climax. Next chapter will be the trio's return to DxD verse. Now for the reviews which I'm so happy to read. I feel that the review for my Trinity DxD series is lacking and I already got three here, much better than what I get in my main series. Help me! Give me more constructive reviews for my Trinity DxD series!

edboy: Thanks. The campione story is a bit of a problem. I don't understand the Campioneverse's more complicated supernatural background (the origin of the gods' legend) like I did with DxD. There's a chance that I might put it up for adoption or something though I'm still trying.

YuukiAsuna-chan: Sorry but I will never pair Shu with anyone outside Inori, Ayase, and Hare. It's blasphemy if he were to ever be paired with anyone other than those three!


Chapter 1: Return of Legends

-GC universe-

Ouma Shu, the King of the Guilty Crown, is being pushed back by Yuu's relentless attack. Right now all he can do is evade all of Yuu's attacks using Paraplegic's Shoes until he can find a good timing for counterattack. But he can't afford to waste time with Yuu. Every second he lost means the closer Inori is to being consumed by Mana. But Yuu is much more experienced in his use of Void and Shu knew that he will lose if he can't do something.

In another place, Inori's body is almost completely covered by Apocalypse Crystal as all her memories slowly disappear. All her precious memories with the Funeral Parlor, her friends, her comrades, and most of all her memories with Shu. She doesn't want to lose them but she cannot do anything. Mana's consciousness is starting to consume her.

On another part of the building, Ayase is having a hard fight herself. Although her Steiner had been upgraded, her Endlave is still outclassed by Daryll's Gespent in firepower combined with his Void emulator that gave Gespent the ability to use Daryll's Void. With Gespent's overwhelming firepower and defense, Ayase is pushed to a corner and defeat seems imminent.

Until…

"""It is time!"""


Just as Yuu was about to strike Shu with a slingshot Void, he felt the change coming from the young King. Darkness began to surround Shu as he disappear from Yuu's vision. Moments later, he felt something impaling him in the chest. He look down to see a blade of black energy sticking out from his body. He look back and see the young King already behind him, leaking a very dark power from every inches of his being.

"Be devoured by the abyss of nothingness, messenger of Daa'th."

Shu spoke in a very dark and frightening tone that previously is impossible to be related to the boy called Ouma Shu.

But this is not Ouma Shu speaking. He is the Prince of Darkness, born from the unholy union of two Satans. He is the child of Hell who was once famed for destroying legions of Angels and Fallens by himself.

Shu Lucifer had awakened.

With his power, Shu pushes his right hand into Yuu's back and reach out to his soul. Once he grasped the personification of Yuu's soul, he crushed it with his overwhelming power of darkness, leaving Yuu's body as merely a lifeless husk.

"Hmph, well met."

He then snapped his finger and the remaining GHQ members that are still alive are turned to ice, still alive but frozen.

He had learned mercy from Inori and she would be proud that he put it into practice.


In Inori's case, the battle took place inside her soul... if it can be called a battle at all.

As Inori the human was about to be fully consumed by Mana, a great burst of light shines her entire soul that had slowly been encroached by darkness. Mana herself was of course surprised by this sudden turn of event. Her advance had been stopped by this light.

"Who's there?! Who dare gets in my way!"

She shouted. Inori is also surprised as all her memories started returning along with… other memories that she didn't remember ever experiencing. But she is thankful that someone saved her soul before she's completely devoured by Mana.

"Consuming other people's soul is not a good thing. It is something only fit for demons of old. I urge you to stop, Ouma Mana."

A voice suddenly came from above them. Both Inori and Mana look up and was surprised to see another Inori but this one has twelve angelic wings and a halo on her head. She dressed similarly in Inori's white outfit but with the addition of a semi-transparent white shroud.

"An… Angel?"

"My name is Inori, the last Archangel created by Father. Ouma Mana, I'm here to help you."

"Help me? How can you help me?"

"The Apocalypse virus, it is a truly horrible thing. It is something that shouldn't exist. I can get rid of it from you."

"Y-y-you can?"

It was at this moment that Mana realized that she's not acting like her usual self. There is nothing telling her to deny the Angel's offer to destroy the virus, no voice to tell her that she is Eve and she has to choose her Adam, no dark thoughts that always seem to be present in her mind.

But…

"You cannot save me. I have no body to return to. All I can do is take over the fake's body."

She point at the human Inori who has a pained expression. But the Angel smiled.

"I alone may not be able to return your body… but I am not alone. I can feel their presence. They are here with me. With their help, I can return your body, that and everyone killed by the Apocalypse Virus provided that it's not too long ago."

Ouma Mana thought for a while. If she is still in her role as Eve, she will definitely refuse the Angel's offer. But here somehow she had returned to just Ouma Mana without all the effects of patient zero of Apocalypse Virus. Therefore she will make a choice as Ouma Mana.

"If you truly can do that… then do it."

The Angel smiled again. In this place where her light shines, she was sure that she could bring out what little light left inside Mana. And like what her Father said, human is truly something. Being possessed by the darkness of the Apocalypse Virus for so long but still a part of her managed to survive, it is something exceptional.

"Very well, the salvation that Father had always preached, I shall deliver it to this world as his Angel."

The Angel then turn to her human counterpart.

"What about you, my host? Do you have something to say?"

The Angel asked. The human Inori try to speak but no words came from her mouth.

"It is okay to speak what you wish for. There is only the three of us here. As long as Father's light shines on us, no darkness can threaten us."

Finally, Inori spoke."

"I just want to be together with everyone… and Shu. I want to become a human, not a monster."

The Angel is satisfied with her answer. Despite the circumstances of her birth and what she is biologically, this 'Yuzuriha Inori' is more human than many people she had met.

"You are already a human, Yuzuriha Inori. But if you want to biologically be human, then I will arrange it. Father would be proud if he were to ever meet you. We do share the same name and body after all."


Ayase got out of the truck that housed the controller for Steiner. She had to hurry and get to Shu and Inori. In order to do that, she had to defeat Daryll and Gespent.

"But I can't kill him huh. He's actually a good person and would be a good boyfriend for Tsugumi if someone could just set him straight."

She mumbled to herself before suddenly disappearing in a burst of speed, leaving a trail of electricity in her wake.

"Ehh, Ayase?!"

Tsukishima Argo look at the scene dumbfounded as Ayase quickly sliced the GHOST Endlaves that are supporting Gespent with speed that he cannot follow. It's like trying to follow the speed of a bullet. Hell, he doesn't even know what Ayase is using to cut those Endlaves! Is it a Void? Did Shu left her with a Void?

When the dust settled, Argo gaped when he see Ayase holding a pair of swords made of light. He is certain that those are not Voids. Even if he's not an expert on Voids, he knew that Voids doesn't look like that. Even if they did, the powers they granted can usually be guessed by their form. He doubted a Void like those could grant super speed. Those are swords for god's sake!

"Hmm, I guess I can't strain this body too much."

Ayase muttered as she noticed that her muscles are strained greatly. The daughter of Azazel forgot that she's still just a soul inside this world's Shinomiya Ayase's body. It's good that her soul had empowered the body somewhat but it is still a human body in the end. Extreme physical labor like what she did is not advised.

"Very well, let's end this with magic."

Dismissing her two light swords, Ayase raise her hand to the air. As if on command, around a hundred light spears began to form and aimed at Gespent. Argo could only stare in disbelief while Daryll is sweating heavily at the sight.

"Face judgement, Daryll Yan."

Ayase spoke in a very cold voice that doesn't fit the usual gentle and caring girl. As she move down her hand, so does the spears. It came like a rain of stars and Daryll's Void is barely holding it back. Apocalypse crystal began to cover him as his Void start to give out. The enraged Daryll shouted as he did an all or nothing charge.

"How dare you! Don't you know who I am?! I'm kill em all Daryll!"

Gespent punched the spot where Ayase stood moments ago. But she's not there any longer. Before Daryll could even attempt a search, Gespent is suddenly bombarded with another volley of light spears, this time without his Void to block them. Ayase made sure to keep damage to a minimal so that the backlash won't kill Daryll. She only aimed to disable his Endlave.

Argo got out of the truck when he is sure that everything is clear. When the smoke from the numerous small explosions on Gespent cleared, he saw it clearly. Standing like a victorious battle maiden is Ayase but it is not the Ayase he knew.

Because the Ayase he knew couldn't walk and she definitely doesn't have twelve feathery wings as dark as the night itself growing from her back. Before Argo could call out to Ayase, she already took flight and disappear in the distance, presumably to help Shu.

"What the hell just happened?"

Argo asked no one but he sure is confused.


Gai had not anticipated anything like this happening.

He is currently surrounded by three winged beings that he had never seen before.

No, that's not quite right, he knew these three, it's just that he doesn't know what they are.

The first surprise came when the crystals covering Inori suddenly shatters and what came out wasn't Mana but Inori herself. Yes, it is Inori who should've disappeared from existence but it appears that she didn't. To add to the mystery, Inori is smiling. This wouldn't be odd if she was any other girl but this is Yuzuriha Inori, a girl created, not born, from an artificial womb using all the knowledge of biological science in humanity's possession. She who did not understand emotion and is still troubled at understanding human feelings could smile so warmly like a mother watching her beloved child is a mystery to Gai. Her presence is so comforting that he felt like he's seeing an Angel. As if affirming his thought, twelve angelic wings appear from her back complete with a halo on her head as she walk down from her position to Gai.

The next to arrive is Shu but it is not like the Shu he knew. If Inori's presence is warm and comforting, his is dark and suffocating. It is a feeling he would never have related with Shu previously. What is disturbing is his eyes. They are blood red and made him uncomfortable as if those eyes can see through his very soul easily and then take it away. Like Inori, he also has wings spread behind him but his is a dozen of bat wings. It is like the devil himself had come to visit him.

The last to arrive is the most surprising. Gai would've never expected to see Shinomiya Ayase with expression as cold as ice staring at him impassively. Her twelve feathery wings are black unlike Inori and she is a far-cry from the Ayase he knew.

It is like he is facing different people even if they look similar to the three people he knew.

Soon their attention changed from him to each other.

"It is time."

Shu was the one who spoke first.

"Yes, it is time for us to return."

Ayase continued.

"But not before we finish what was started here."

Inori finished.

The three of them share a look before nodding to each other. The three of them then fly closer and higher until they stopped several meters higher than where Gai stood. The three of them then join hands before an enormous amount of power burst out from their body. It is a frightening amount of power that rooted Gai to the ground.

Inori suddenly began singing.

"Mou anata kara aesareru koto mo

Hitsuyou to sareru koto mo nai.

Soshite watashi wa koushite hitoribocchi de.

Anata wa itsumo souyatte watashi wo

Okorasete saigo ni nakasunda

Dakedo ato ni natte

Gomenne te iu sono kao

Suki data.

Hanasanaide gyutto sou omoikkiri

Anata no ude no naka ni itai

Futari de odeko wo awasenagara

Nemuru no…"

Departures Blessing, that was the title of the song. It was the same song she sung when they were in Haneda. As she sings, Gai saw it.

Apocalypse crystals began to gather to them. It came from above the tower and they pour in like water apart from a few that continue to descent Gai even felt the Apocalypse Virus in him disappearing. To his great astonishment, the apocalypse crystals that did not gather to them start to turn into people. These are the people killed by the Apocalypse Virus or had their Void destroyed not long ago.

Just like Inori promised, she returns those killed by the Apocalypse Virus and/or those who had their Void destroyed back to life. Although of course this could only happen since Shu possess a Void Genome and the soul of the intended Eve is inside Inori herself. Using their strong connection to the Apocalypse Virus, they manage to perform this miracle. Sadly, not everyone can be returned. Only those killed by Apocalypse Virus in the span of six months can be returned. Them and Mana who is the patient zero. Those killed in Lost Christmas or over the span of six months cannot return. Them and those killed using Shears of life. That means Yahiro's brother cannot return. Perhaps it is a good thing since that includes Segai but it's still too bad.

The last person to be revived is of course Ouma Mana like the Archangel of Sacrifice had promised. Once the song ended and the three supernatural beings are sure that none of the Apocalypse Virus are left, they made their descend and landed in front of Gain and Mana who are currently hand-in-hand.

"Miss Angel, thank you for helping us."

Mana bowed to Inori.

"It is what Father would've wanted."

She then turn to Gai.

"Tsutsugami Gai, I as the Archangel of Sacrifice had seen your intention and although the path you choose could've been better, you did it with good intent. In place of my Father, I will give you a suitable reward. Hold out your right hand."

Gai obeyed silently. Inori placed her hand over Gai's mark of king for a few moment before she let go.

"Now the Void Genome is truly bonded to you and you only. Without the Apocalypse Virus, you cannot draw Voids from other people. But in exchange I have given you the use of your Void and Mana's Void which is similar to mine. Use it well."

"I will… may I ask you a question?"

"Please, just ask."

"Very well… Are you Inori?"

"…I am Inori while I am also not Inori."

"I don't understand."

"It is… complicated to explain."

"Ahhh! Let me explain it for you!"

Ayase who seems to be at the end of her patience interjected and she switched spot with Inori.

"Alright, listen carefully, we are an Angel, a Fallen Angel, and a Devil."

Ayase started while pointing at each of them as she told him their race.

"We made a deal with God during a large war where we would be sealed after doing our last task until the world needed us again. Then in a stroke of brilliant idea to pass time, Shu had the idea that we should watch other worlds through a host so our soul wandered the universe while our bodies were sealed. The deal is that we cannot interfere with the host's life as our powers are sealed too. That is until a few moments ago when we had our powers unsealed and we took over."

Gai had a horrified look when she said 'took over' but Ayase continued.

"Relax, we're not really taking over like what that girl…"

Ayase points at Mana who is grinning sheepishly.

"…tried to do with our Inori. Shu and Inori had explained what is happening to the body's original soul and so have I. After this, we will be heading back to our real body and the other us will have their body back once again. And ohh I should mention that since we used quite some power in this body, their body will gain some perks like extended life. Nothing much, just a few decades but that's all. They will also maintain their youthful appearance till their death and can use minor magic though that will shorten their lifespan little-by-little so I don't recommend it. Ohh and this Ayase's legs are healed. She can walk once again after I'm gone. Of course, our final gift to our last host is they have enhanced physical capability. Nothing too much though. Is that all?"

Gai could only nod at the girl. this Ayase is so different to the one he's used too that it just felt… weird.

"We will now say our goodbye to our host. When they woke up, they will be in control of their body once more."

Shu told them before all three of them fell to the ground. Gai hurriedly went to Shu's side to check if he's fine and he was relieved to find that there is nothing wrong with Shu and it's the same with Inori and Ayase.

This had become a very strange day.

At least everything is over even if it's not in the way he envisioned it to be.


-Shu and Shu-

"So you better take care of yourself. Be confident and don't forget what is important to you. Cherish them and keep them safe.

Shu Lucifer told Ouma Shu in a lecturing tone.

"I feel strange being lectured by a Devil."

Human Shu complained.

"It happens. But still, I'm proud of you. I used to hate everything and everyone other than Devils you know. But then I meet Inori and Ayase. They changed me. But even then I still wonder what's so great about humans. I wasn't convinced even after what all my previous hosts had done but now I know how great you humans are, especially you, Shu."

"W-w-what are you talking about?! I'm nothing great at all. I just want to protect Inori."

"And that had led you this far just by the power of your will alone. What made me most surprised is EXACTLY because it's you. Your soul is like a mirror image of me. You're another me, what I could've become. It's ironic that my last host is actually a parallel version of myself."

"What?"

"Don't think too much about it."

Lucifer pat Ouma's shoulder and smiled.

"It has been fun watching you, Ouma Shu. I'll never forget you."

With those last words, Lucifer start to fade from Shu's consciousness.

When he opened his eyes, he was met with the stare of both Inori and Ayase.

"Ohh and I forgot to tell you. My Inori and Ayase MIGHT tell them to become more assertive or maybe even share you to spare the pain from each other. Try to deal with it."

Shu Lucifer's voice rang in Ouma Shu's head with a maniacal laughter. Shu realize what he meant and began to sweat at the intensity of Ayase and Inori's stare.

"...I'm screwed."


And done! I don't think I did this chapter justice but ideas are hard to come by. And finally the supernatural trio finish Shu's job in GC world while leaving him with a more impossible problem. I would've put in Hare if she's conscious but apart from Mana, those returned are all unconscious and will be so for a few days. Now let's just leave the human Shu to his devices. I'm just writing this one to make a new conclusion to Guilty Crown.

Now, Shu Lucifer along with his two partners had received a few things after their short adventure and meeting in GC world. They can emulate their GC counterpart when in DxD world to posing as humans, they don't have to learn about the advancement in culture and technology (They were sealed around the early hundred or so. Maybe less than the 500s but not more. The timeline of the Great War was never mentioned so I'm just guessing), and Shu obtained the Void Genome though it will be modified. The three of them also receive a modification to their power from the Apocalyps Virus. The virus won't appear in DxD since it will be troublesome but it will play an important role later on. As for their power before being sealed, it can be seen in the prologue. Anyway, review and stuff. See ya...
