Kaii and Shinji were behind everyone so nobody heard them. They looked at each other already knowing what to think.
'Kokabiel isn't the strongest Fallen Angel, but he's certainly no pushover. But what worries me is his intentions. He's always been a war monger and stealing somethings from the church... residing in Devil territory? That seems to more than just a coincidence.' Kaii thought.
"Grigori organization?" Issei asked.
"It's a Fallen Angel organization, dubbed as the "Watchers of God's children"." Akeno explained
"A Cadre of the organization?" Rias rhetorically asked. "Are you trying to kill yourselves?"
"I would rather destroy the Holy Swords themselves, than allow those Fallen Angels to take hold of them." Xenovia answered firmly.
"We're already prepared for this. One has been killed anyways. It was a priest sent to do a preliminary investigation." Irina added.
"It was Freed Sellzen." Kiba said while looking away. This slightly shook Issei and Asia after their "unfortunate" encounters with him. "I ran into him when he killed the priest. He was definitely holding a Holy Sword."
"A rogue priest. So that's how it is." Xenovia confirmed. "I thank you for delivering such information. However, refrain from interfering any further."
"Ise-kun, call me anytime if you want to receive judgment from me!" Irina shouted as she caught up to Xenovia who was already walking away.
"Crazy bitch..." Kaii said in a state of only being half awake.
"What's up with you?" Shinji asked.
"Seeing a guy use his terribly low level of magic ability to blow away girls' clothes. On top of this I just found out a superior is possibly a traitor, and we're about to dragged into this mess. I'm about to go home and take a fucking nap is what I'm about to do." Kaii whispered to Shinji.
"...Can't argue with that."
"Thanks for our arms, Asia. Rias, we'll help out and give any information we have if need be tomorrow."
"What? You would help us? It's apparent you aren't sided with the Angels or Devils." Rias asked
"Of course we aren't. But Kokabiel is a monster, and this isn't the time for the factions to be getting upset over small things." Shinji butted in with a rare serious voice.
Rias hesitantly accepted, and bid them farewell.
Not even a minute later, the two jumped to Azazel's house.
Shinji looked over to see Kaii drop right onto the couch.
"Wait, you're actually serious?"
"You're damn right I am."
"No seri-"
...
Shinji paused when he realized Kaii was actually asleep.
"Well I'll be damned."
He just shrugged and left Azazel's house.
'Hmm, Kiba, Kaii, and that other guy, Shinji was it? They're all absent today...' Issei thought. 'I remember Kiba randomly left last night, ignoring Buchou...'
Meanwhile at Azazel's house at the same time...
Azazel opened the door to his house, looking terribly intoxicated.
He looked at Kaii sleeping on the couch and Shinji in the spare room, and shrugged.
'Aren't they supposed to be in school? Eh well if they're out this cold they must have been through hell last night. Maybe Shinji finally got Kaii to go to an oppai club...' Azazel trailed off with a lecherous face before passing out on his bed.
Shinji groaned as he woke up to the sound of something from the living room.
Kaii was sitting lazily on the couch he fell asleep on and playing one of Azazel's video games.
"Why are you playing that?"
"...Nothing else around here to do..."
"We aren't going to tell Azazel what we found out. Okay?" Shinji says.
"I had the same idea. If a higher up from any faction learns this, the domino effect is going to happen and then all hell is gonna break loose, figuratively and literally."
Shinji pulled out his phone and his jaw dropped.
"WE OVERSLEPT!"
Kaii pulled out his and his jaw also dropped.
"18 HOURS?!"
THUD!
Shinji dropped to his knees.
"Wait, what's wrong?"
Shinji looked down with a static but sad smile.
"I... had a date planned."
"You planned a date during all this shit?!"
Shinji sobbed and pointed his finger at Kaii angrily. "Don't say it like it's bad thing! At least I have a libido!"
"What kind of insult is that!?"
Shinji puffed out his cheeks like a child. "I'm outta here!"
Kaii silently watched as his friend stormed out of the house.
He looked around and couldn't find Azazel anywhere, so he did what anyone of his age would do in the empty house of a rich guy.
Eat all his damn food.
It only took about twenty minutes for it to be cleared out completely.
He sat on the couch and ate some junk food while thinking about the situation.
"Xenovia said something about the guy with Sword Birth being a failed experiment of that project, right?" Kaii asked himself.
He wondered just how much they "took" from him.
"I would assume they wouldn't take that much away. If they did, Kiba would be one broken record..."
He looked down at the floor with a gloomy face.
"Maybe me and him aren't so different."
After waiting a while, Kaii finally decided to leave the house, noticing it was starting to get dark out.
'Something's off.'
Kaii quickly jumped into a magic circle and appeared at Kuoh Academy.
He quickly ran to the old school building and checked to see if anyone was there, but alas there was no one.
It wasn't really the time to be noticing it, but he felt it again.
Someone watching him.
Ignoring the feeling, he ran over to the Student Council's office instead, where Sona should be.
He quickly found their room, and opened the door-
"What happened?" A familiar voice asked.
It was Shinji, standing inside the room along with Tsubaki. The two were standing over an injured Irina who was resting on a couch.
"She was attacked, but I left before we found out who." Tsubaki informed.
Shinji walked over to her and tapped her forehead with Holy magic.
"Her belief with the church is absolute. My Holy magic will heal her slowly." Shinji explained.
"So-" Kaii started.
The three were interrupted by the sky outside the windows turning purple.
"That damned Kokabiel." Shinji muttered.
"You two have a clue what's going on?" Tsubaki asks.
"Yeah, it seems the Fallen Angel Cadre, Kokabiel is going to start something." Kaii replied while stretching, as if he was getting ready to fight.
"Take Irina-chan out of here, back to the Sitri household or something. Just anywhere but here." Shinji ordered.
"Why? What's going to happen?"
Kaii made a wry smile as his face got serious. "War."
Tsubaki heard all she needed to. She nodded and left via magic circle while holding Irina.
"Well it all makes sense now." Shinji said while looking outside through the window.
"Kokabiel is taking the Excaliburs and doing something to upset the balance between Angels and Devils while in Gremory territory. Sounds like he wants another Great War. I'm amazed we didn't realize it sooner." Kaii agreed.
"It seems everyone's here now. I sense the Gremory team, Xenovia-chan, and the Sitri group all here. Along with Kokabiel, and two unknown aura's. They're both human so it shouldn't a problem."
"The humans are probably that stray priest and that Valper guy." Kaii says with disgust. "It's finally time to warn Azazel."
Kaii goes to reach for the glasses that he wore when Issei fought Riser but-
...
"I must have... 'misplaced' the glasses."
Shinji tried to create a magic circle to communicate with their boss, but it just made a static electricity sound.
"Must be that." Kaii pointed up at the sky. A large barrier was forming around the school, with them included. It was making the sky turn red and black.
"A barrier to keep everything in. Must be the work of Sona-chan."
"Yeah but can Rias Gremory's group really hold their own against Kokabiel for such a long time?"
Shinji smirked. "They have a Heavenly Dragon. I wouldn't bet against him in this situation."
GRAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
A loud roar was heard from the other side of the school, in the large yard.
"There's Cerberus." Kaii observed, as he opened the window.
That was when a giant golden pillar of energy rocketed into the sky, almost hitting the barrier.
"Aaaand there's Excalibur! That's our cue I guess!"
The sounds of swords colliding were heard all throughout the battlefield.
Amidst the chaos, Xenovia had teamed up with Rias' group to help fight Kokabiel, but currently their enemy was not just him.
"Ahahaha! How do you like this neat-ol' Excalibur!?"
A very annoying voice cackled.
It belonged to a young man with short white hair and red eyes. He was dressed up like a priest with a cleric's jacket over the priest attire. Oh yeah, he sorta looked crazy.
Like, really crazy.
This was Freed Sellzen, the rogue priest who Kiba ran into previously. Not only that, he was also present a few weeks ago when Raynare had caused trouble for Issei and Asia.
He was laughing crazily as he wildly attacked Kiba and Xenovia.
Freed had a half-complete Excalibur, so he definitely had the upper hand, however, Kiba had also achieved a new power-up.
After finally getting closure from his traumatic experience as a child with the project, he had achieved Balance Breaker for his Sacred Gear, Sword Birth.
Originally, Sword Birth was basically a Sacred Gear that spawned a type of sword the creator wanted. It was powerful, but still nowhere near the level of the Longinus, such as Issei or Vali's.
However, something was a bit "different" about Sword Birth's Balance Breaker, or at least Kiba's variant of it.
Named "Sword of Betrayer", or the "Holy Demonic Sword of Twin Supremacy". It was a powerful sword with the power of both Holy and Demonic flowing throughout the sword. It was an irregular Balance Breaker. Irregular, meaning it wasn't originally possible.
The combination of Holy and Demonic powers was only possible because God of the Bible and the original Satans were dead. By principal, you could say this was similar to how Shinji's birth was possible.
However, Kaii's Demonic Light was not derived from this. That, was something else-
"Damn! It's not over yet!" Issei yelled.
Two dogs the size of buses attack the others. Although these dogs had three heads each. In other words, clones of Cerberus that Kokabiel had brought with him.
Cerberus was the guardian of the Underworld, although it was originally the Devils that had control over him.
A man sat in a floating throne in the sky above them, looking rather bored. He had long black hair, pointy ears, yellow eyes with black sclera and five pairs of Fallen Angel wings.
He also was wearing a black robe over formal clothes with detailed accessories adorning said robe.
This was Kokabiel, the war hungry Cadre, who had been toying with events behind the scenes. He was also responsible for Raynare going rogue, and Issei's death, thus the Sekiryuutei's awakening.
The clothes of a priest were on the ground, sitting in a pool of blood.
Kokabiel had quite literally destroyed Valper, after he fused the Excalibur fragments.
"Normally you'd be right, boy." Kokabiel mused. "What was supposed to happen, was Kaii and Shinji come to fight me. To be honest, those two would probably beat me... which is why I prepared a counter-measure."
"A counter...?"
Kokabiel made a wide smirk. "I happened to "borrow" a certain something from Cocytus on the way here. I'm sure that will keep them busy."
"Cocytus?" Issei asked.
Rias crossed her arms. "It's the deepest part of the Underworld connected to Hades' domain, the Realm of the Dead."
"Hades?! This is too much..." He groaned.
Kokabiel ignored them and looked over to the other side of the school.
"Any minute now and it will begin. After all these painful and boring years another war will begin! I'll deliver your heads to Sirzechs and Michael to begin-"
A strange and mostly quiet sound stopped him in the middle of his sentence...
GRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAA!
The forces against Kokabiel, including those outside the barrier froze in place at the sound of the roar. It came from within the barrier.
"Ah man, it took longer than I expected to summon it. Oh well, that will keep those two busy for long enough." Kokabiel said with a smirk.
"What now? More Cerberus? They can easily take care of them!" Rias shouted up to him.
Kokabiel silently looked at her with a dangerous smile. "You're absolutely right. There'd be no point in sending one of those mutts to fight them. Which is why I brought something a little bit more difficult to kill."
"Exalibuuuuuuuuur! STRETCH!" Freed shouted.
Kiba was able to parry it easily with his new sword, leveling the playing field between the two.
"WHY?! THIS LEGENDARY SWORD IS SUPPOSED TO BE SUPER POWERFUL!" Freed screamed.
Kiba smiled. "Oh, didn't you know? I'm just distracting you."
!
Freed turned around too late to hear Xenovia chant something.
"Saint Peter. Saint Basil the Great. Saint Denis. Holy mother Mary. Please hear my voice."
"That's baaaad news!" Freed charged right at her, but Kiba blocked his path.
"In the names of the saints whom reside in this blade, I will release it. Durandal!"
From within a distortion in space, a strange sword emerged.
It was broad and had a blue blade with a golden edge. It had a semicircular guard on the left side of the handle. And it was actually a little taller than Xenovia herself.
Freed and Kokabiel both widened their eyes, although the former's was due to fear and the latter due to amusement.
"D-Durandal?!" Freed shrieked.
Kokabiel made a wide grin. "I knew there was something you were holding back."
Durandal was one of four Holy Swords created by God prior to his death.
"Roland's sword, eh?" Kokabiel had intrigued face. "The church never was able to create an artificial wielder who could handle Durandal, so that means-"
Xenovia made a stance with it and...
CRACK!
Freed's sword got cracked in a single blow from Durandal!
"Durandal is a sword that ravages beyond what people can imagine. It cuts anything it touches. It doesn't even listen to me most of the time, hence why I kept it in a pocket dimension."
Kokabiel yawned. "Yes yes, that's good and all but this is still very dry. Sekiryuutei, power up and transfer your power to someone."
SMASH!
A loud sound came from over where Kaii and Shinji were.
He looked back and grinned. 'That thing will keep them busy for quite some time. If it kills them, they weren't fit to be called Fallen Angels in the first place.'
Rias narrowed her eyes. "Don't mess around with us."
"Ahaha! Don't mess around with us!? Aren't you the ones messing around? You can't possibly think you can defeat someone like me."
Rias smirked. "No, I don't. But I'm pretty sure two Maou can."
"Ha-"
Those on the ground watched as Kokabiel broke into a fit of laughter.
"Of course! Thank you for saving me the trouble! You do realize that you just helped me, right? By your older brother and Sona Sitri's older sister coming, you've all but caused a war! Just think about it! A clash between leaders of factions can only lead to that."
Rias looked up with wide eyes, feeling completely outsmarted.
"I must give credit where it's due though. I'm surprised you followers of God and the Maou can still fight, after losing your masters-"
Issei and the others looked confused, as everyone stopped fighting.
"What... does that mean?"
Kokabiel started laughing so hard his throne started to shake in the sky.
"Ahh, well it looks like I ran my mouth a bit to much. They purposely kept this a secret from you lower beings to not cause panic."
Xenovia looked at him in bewilderment, completely turning away from the damaged Freed.
"Kokabiel! Answer us!" She screamed.
"Suit yourself-"
He smirked as all five pairs of wings he had spread.
"God is dead!"
On the other side of the school, just a few minutes ago...
The deafening screech from before was heard, as a large monster emerged from a giant magic circle.
Kaii whistled as him and Shinji slowly looked up at it.
It was easily 50 meters tall. Gray in color. It stood on four legs, and had a big tail.
It also had nine heads.
Shinji scratched the back of his head. "A fucking Hydra. That crazy bastard really went and snagged one from Cocytus?"
The Hydra was a beast from Greek mythology that Heracles had defeated in legend. Of course there were more than one, they were just sealed in Cocytus.
Kaii racked his brain trying to figure out something. "Could we burn the necks like Heracles did?"
"Nah. It's probably modified or some crazy shit knowing Kokabiel."
"Well-"
A sickening growl came from all the heads, as they locked on to the two.
"-Shit."
SMASH!
One of the heads smashed right down on to Kaii!
Kaii barely held it back with all of his strength, as a thin white aura surrounded him.
Shinji looked at him in shock. 'He has to use Touki already?!'
GROOAOAAAAA!
The beast roared as another head picked up Kaii and-
CRASH!
...Threw him right into the school.
A portion of the school was turned into rubble, as Kaii was nowhere to be seen.
"Uh oh..." Shinji started as all nine heads turned to him.
He quickly tried to fly away, but one of the heads wrapped around his body.
SMASH!
Shinji groaned in pain, as he was not as sturdy as Kaii.
The Hydra slowly walked over to him, as some of its heads looked around, sensing the others...
One of the heads used its mouth to rip a pillar off the school.
"Oh come on-"
SMASH!
SMASH!
...It violently slammed the pillar on Shinji a few times, before it grabbed his body out from under it, and tossed it like a rag doll.
CRASH!
And Shinji also was sent flying into a part of the school.
Kaii was flung into the area where he attended classes, and was slowly getting up.
"Alright you asshole. It's go time."
The Hydra roared as dozens of weapons of light rained down on the heads, along with various elemental magic attacks.
That was, until a blue light came from all of its eyes.
Kaii's jaw dropped. "It's absorbing the magic attacks?! Seriously?!"
Shinji slowly floated out of the rubble he was in.
"Let's-"
GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The two realized it just in time-
All heads turned directly to where the others were.
"Shit shit shit shit shit!" Kaii said to himself as the two raced over to them-
Kokabiel's eyes widened.
Of course they did, seeing as his giant "pet" Hydra was rushing straight towards him!
The others didn't have quite as much time to react, seeing as they were recovering from the shocking revelation they learned.
In particular, Xenovia seemed to be shaken up the most.
"What the hell is that thing doing?!" He shouted.
Rias looked terrified as she realized something.
"If that thing is destroying the school... then Gasper...!" She muttered.
The Hydra charged right at them, until it stopped about 50 meters away...
Kokabiel suspiciously flew up into the air.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
No one had a chance to react, as all of the heads quickly charged a large attack of energy-
-And unleashed it right at them.
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON
...
A cloud of dust was kicked up by the explosion, as Kaii and Shinji had dropped down in front of them just in time to deflect the large attack with defensive magic circles.
"I told you it was gonna do that!" Kaii angrily shouted at Shinji.
"Well excuse me for not predicting a legendary Greek monster!" Shinji shouted back.
Kokabiel dusted himself off. "I would've expected you two to be dust by now."
"No one's talking to you, asshat." Kaii quipped.
A tick mark appeared on Kokabiel's forehead. "What did you say to me brat?!"
Kaii just rolled his eyes. "Anyways, Shinji you should totally be the distraction for this thing."
Before Shinji could respond, one of the Hydra's heads shot right at him- and Akeno who was behind him!
Kaii groaned loudly as he quickly picked up Akeno and dodged it with his wings out.
"Bad! You hear me? BAD!"
With Akeno in his left hand, and a large broadsword made of light in his right hand, he brought down said sword right onto the Hydra's neck!
SLICE
The head was easily severed from the body, as he made a confident smirk.
"You can let go of me now." Akeno pointed out with an unpleasant face.
Kaii looked confused for a moment.
Shinji turned over to him and shook his head. "As cool as you look, you realize you just cut off a head, right?"
As Kaii set Akeno down, it set in when he palmed his face. "Damn it!"
The neck quickly sprouted a new head, as another neck and head also formed in its place.
Rias looked quite surprised. "So it really does grow two heads for every one that's cut off..."
Kaii and Shinji both made a faint smile as they realized its weakness.
The energy the Hydra once had had decreased.
In other words, it only had so much energy to expend on regenerating lost heads and growing new ones.
Kaii's body started to glow white, as he used this "Touki" again. This caught Koneko's attention for some reason.
DASH!
Kokabiel clicked his tongue as Kaii slammed into the Hydra, pushing it back to the other side of the school.
"Cut off as many heads as you can!" Shinji shouted over to Kaii.
He nodded, as the two started forming dozens of weapons of light.
SLICE! SLICE! SLICE!
Kaii quickly dropped to the ground, and with "Touki" swept out one of the legs of the Hydra.
Shinji held his hand up as even more weapons rained down on it!
Kaii floated up next to Shinji.
"That thing is definitely not done yet."
Shinji made a sarcastic smile. "Of course not."
"Well I've had enough beating for one day."
No, Kaii was not a masochist.
At least not y-
"I feel as if someone is talking some major shit about me..."
Never mind.
He held out his hand and formed a magic circle, as a western dark red sword emerged.
It was red rimmed, with black coming from the handle to the tip through the middle.
This, was a "Blood Sword".
It was not as strong as Xenovia's Durandal. It was not as useful as Shinji's Lohengrin. It was not as overwhelming as Kiba's Holy Demonic Sword.
Rather, it was more tactical. On top of that, Kaii was skilled with multiple types of weapons, rather than mastering one particular therefore it wasn't a big thing to him.
A Blood Sword also basically poisoned a victim's blood, but it didn't work on monsters. Only Youkai, humans, Devils, Fallen Angels, and Angels.
And it was a rather long process and would only work on an idiot really.
Good thing they were fighting a stupid ass monster!
"Huh? Why are you using that thing?" Shinji asked.
"Because I don't have to worry about it shattering unlike weapons made from light."
Aaaaand of course, the Hydra got back up. This time with just a ridiculous amount of heads.
SWISH!
Kaii and Shinji attacked the heads as fast as they possibly could, before the main body could react.
Of course this was completely irrelevant to the Hydra as it quickly grew back each head along with another for each one.
Kaii charged his aura into the sword until it started glowing brightly...
SMASH!
And SLAMMED it right into the ground!
The Hydra roared as the ground beneath it started to crumble, making an opening for his friend.
He raced towards it, and his Lohengrin began to glow yellow, but unlike normally, lightning was literally surrounding it.
Shinji slammed his sword into the body of the Hydra to stun it for a few moments, which it did as it sat paralyzed in the broken ground.
Kaii didn't waste a second, as a large magic circle appeared around the Hydra's body.
Shinji set his sword down and did the same.
From a distance it looked as though they were trying to restrain the beast within it, but that was not the case.
The two began forming hundreds of light spears around their circles.
The Hydra's eyes merely shrunk in fear.
Kokabiel easily blocked attacks from Rias' group with a yawn.
"Nice to see you all being such losers." He mocked.
"Fufufu. Interesting." A voice came from the sky.
Everyone looked up as-
CRACK
SHATTER!
The barrier around the school faded as a white light descended, causing everyone to shiver.
Issei's eyes widened when he realized that it was similar to his Scale Mail.
"...Vanishing Dragon." Kokabiel broke the silence.
He narrowed his eyes at the sight of Vali, who was mysteriously quiet...
"One of the Longinus, "Divine Dividing". If you are in that armored form... then that means you've achieved Balance Breaker already. What an annoying thing..." The Cadre continued.
Unfortunately for this "Cadre", a world of pain was coming.
Literally.
"Were you attracted by the "Red"? No matter. Vanishing Dragon, if you get in my wa-"
RIP!
Before he could finish his sentence, two of his wings were ripped right from his body!
"Like the wings of a crow. What a disgusting color. I much prefer Azazel's, which is like an everlasting darkness."
"Y-You! My wings!" Kokabiel cried out in pain.
Vali laughed quietly. His voice reverberated due to the armor, making him sound a bit robotic.
Issei and the others took note that it still sounded like a young man's voice.
"Isn't it symbolic that you have fallen?" Vali asked. "There is no need for wings for those who stooped down even below the Earth, right? Don't tell me you plan to fly still?"
Vali's passive aggressive tone was infuriating Kokabiel, who of course was not aware of his identity.
"Vanishing Dragon! Are you opposing me!?"
Kokabiel threw his arms out wide and summoned countless weapons of light, but Vali wasn't even slightly intimidated.
"My name is Albion."
(Divide!)
The real voice of Albion echoed throughout the schoolyard, as Kokabiel's aura decreased along with many of his weapons.
"An ability of my Divine Dividing. It halves the power of those I touch every 10 seconds. Your power will become my power. If you don't defeat me quickly, you'll become as weak as a human."
The exact opposite of the Boosted Gear. One doubled and shared, while the other halved and stole.
Kokabiel tried to go towards Vali, but the latter's speed was far too much for him.
Rias was quite troubled that someone was toying with an individual whom was about to destroy them.
(Divide!)
"Damn you!" Kokabiel roared as he attacked with weapons in hand, but Vali swiped his hand and vaporized them.
(Divide!)
Kokabiel's speed at this point was so bad that even Issei could deal with him.
"Boring. I thought I could have a little more fun." Vali whined.
SLAM!
Vali delivered a sharp blow to Kokabiel's stomach while moving at what seemed to be the speed of light!
"I... Impossible... me?" Kokabiel choked.
"Huh? Are you saying that stuff you would expect from a grunt? Really?" Vali asked with a laugh.
Kokabiel vomited as Vali spun him around... and stopped.
"You stepped too far out of your league. Azazel asked me to bring you back at all costs."
"So that's how it is! Azazel... AZAZEL!"
Vali slammed Kokabiel roughly, as the latter's body crumbled in defeat.
He threw Kokabiel over his shoulder and looked over to a defeated Freed.
"Looks like I have to carry Freed as well. There are things I need to ask him. We will deal with him after that."
Vali also retrieved Freed and spread his wings, when Ddraig's voice came from Issei's gauntlet.
[Ignoring me, White One?]
(So you were alive, Red One.)
Albion answered.
[This wasn't exactly the best time to meet.]
(It's alright. We're destined to fight each other someday. Coincidences do happen.)
"The Sekiryuutei and the Hakuryuukou finally meet..." Rias trails off.
(I'll see you later, Ddraig.)
[See you, Albion.]
"Hey! Who the hell are you!?" Issei yelled.
"You need power to understand. Get stronger, my rival." Vali responded.
WOOSH!
In a white flash, Vali vanished, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
"Well it's been one hell of a da-" Rias started.
...
The ground shook.
"That's..." Xenovia started.
"Holy shit!" Issei shouted as a Hydra with 300 heads roared!
Kaii and Shinji jumped back and landed a few meters away from everyone.
"Can we just kill this thing already?" Shinji asked.
Kaii smirked. "Yeah, it's weakened enough now."
ZUUUUU
The two channeled as much aura as possible, causing the ground to crack.
Sona ran into the battleground and shouted. "Are you two crazy?! That's gonna blow away a portion of this city!"
"Not quite."
Kaii put out his left hand, and Shinji his right as their auras collided, and made a loud screeching sound.
"Hey." Kaii whispered. "Do you have a name for this attack?"
Shinji looked at him with wide eyes. "You're usually the one who makes up the cool names!"
Kaii looked away shamefully. "I can't think of anything for this."
"Wait..."
Shinji quickly glanced back, and then to Kaii.
"Are you feeling pressured because of that girl?!"
"Shut up!"
The others looked confused as to why these guys channeling a large concentrated aura were whispering to each other.
The Hydra was basically in a daze right now due to how many heads it had, so it wasn't going anywhere.
"Kaii-kun has a crush! Hahaha! Boy, is this the first time? No, it can't be. But why the pressure?! You're good enough looking to get anyone you want! Why are you nervous?! Huh?!" Shinji hysterically whispered.
Kaii looked furious. "Stop misunderstanding you dick!"
"No no no! I know this for a fact now!"
!
"W-Wait! I'm not ready y-" Shinji started.
Kaii angrily threw his attack forward!
Shinji's body went flying back into a wall as a large black and yellow ball raced towards the poor Hydra.
At this point, you had to feel bad for it. The thing was stolen by Kokabiel and forced to attack people, and now...
Well it was about to get vaporized.
The ball collided with the Hydra, and it began to expand until the monster was completely engulfed by it.
It then started rapidly spinning as the Hydra howled in agony.
Kaii crossed his arms and looked upset.
Shinji picked himself up and rubbed the back of his head. "I feel bad for the poor thing... shame on you Kaii-kun!"
The Hydra's roars silenced as the enormous mass of energy started shrinking until it imploded completely and disappeared.
The blast that would-have-been was sent into some other dimension.
Kaii took a deep breath. "Well that was lucky."
"...Lucky?" Koneko asked.
"We just came up with that on the spot."
...
COUGH!
Kaii dropped to one knee, as blood spilled from his mouth.
Shinji walked over to him. "What's wrong?"
He made a weak smile. "That damn thing got a few ribs at least."
"Asia, could you heal him?" Issei asked.
She nodded and ran over to him.
As she healed him, Rias started to scold Kiba and Issei.
Xenovia walked over to Kaii with her bangs covering her face.
"...You knew didn't you?" Xenovia asked.
Kaii looked up at her, already understanding. They were upset about knowing of God's death.
He couldn't blame them for anything really. This was all Kokabiel's fault, and he did in fact keep it secret.
Asia narrowed her eyes after healing him. "Why didn't you tell us?"
Kaii sighed. "I don't suppose me saying "in order to keep the balance" is gonna cut it?"
Asia's eyes softened up but Xenovia's had a fire in them.
"My life was lived for the sake of the church and God! What do you expect me to say or do now?!" She yelled.
"Xenovi-" Asia tried to stop her.
"No! Why should we have to deal with being lied to?"
Kaii narrowed his eyes and got right up in her face, looking down on her.
Yeah, there was a height difference between these two.
"Then find a reason to live. Stop blaming others for what happened to you. I know that feeling better than anyone."
Shinji silently watched, and opened a magic circle.
"We should go before Sirzechs Lucifer arrives."
Kaii nodded, as he stepped into it.
Xenovia was frozen after his statement, but then turned to him.
She looked right into his eyes.
...His eyes were full of pain.
The two disappeared from sight.
Sona walked over to everyone.
"Rias. I never thought the Hakuryuukou would come."
"He saved the city, though." Rias said while closing her eyes and smiling.
"I guess so. Now, Tsubaki, let's repair the school." Sona ordered.
The school was almost completely destroyed with craters everywhere due to what had happened.
Sona looked back at Rias. "Is your "other" Bishop okay?"
Rias nodded. "He's fine."
"We need to finish by morning." Tsubaki butted in.
"We'll help out." Rias offered.
"It's alright. The Student Council handles the school."
Meanwhile, Kiba sat on one of the bleachers with a rather empty expression.
"Is it over?" Kiba asked himself aloud. "No. Someone else has taken up Valper's research. My battle is not over."
"Nice job, Prince Charming!"
"Ise-kun?"
"Don't talk, just listen. Don't you think it's time for a break from Holy swords and comrades?" Issei said while stretching. "After everything that's happened lately, I'm too tired to think about anything!"
"Embrace your friendships." Rias said while her and the rest of the club smiled at Kiba.
"Buchou, I will pledge here once again." Kiba said while getting on one knee. "I, Yuuto Kiba, will serve as Rias Gremory's kin and Knight, and protect you and your friends until the end of my life."
Rias walked to him and gave him a big hug. "Thank you, Yuuto."
"Hey! Get away from Buchou, Prince Charming!" Issei yelled.
"Ise-kun?"
"I would kill to be Buchou's knight to protect her! But, no person other than you would make such a good knight. Don't forget your job!" Issei turned around and began to slowly sob. "Damn, I still can't believe I missed my chance to suck Buchou's oppai..."
"Perverted as always." Koneko said with her usual monotone and irritated face.
"Now, Yuuto..." Rias spoke up.
Her right hand had a spinning red magic circle on it.
"Th-thats!" Issei stutters in horror.
"Time for your punishment." Rias smiled genuinely, which in this situation was frightening. "One thousand spankings!"
"What?!" Kiba yelled.
Kaii and Shinji awoke in Azazel's house around the time they would before school.
Except this time something was wrong.
Terribly wrong.
Azazel was awake, and silently sitting on the couch.
"A-Azazel?" Kaii stuttered.
"You broke into my house one night." Azazel spoke calmly.
The two gulped.
"You crashed on the couch another night, which happens to be my favorite spot in the living room."
The two were now getting scared.
"You messed up my stats on my video game..."
Kaii now looked pale as a ghost.
"But you crossed the line, when you ate ALL THE FOOD IN THE DAMN HOUSE!" Azazel roared.
...That's not at all what they were expecting.
"I'm kicking you guys out!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Well why the hell are you wasting time! Get the hell out and find somewhere else to stay!"
Rias sat in the club room alone, as Kaii and Shinji entered.
"Oh, Kaii, Shinji. Is there something you need?" Rias asked.
'It's about damn time she got over hating me. All it took was defeating a damn Hydra!' Kaii angrily thought inside his head.
"We sorta got kicked out from where we were living, and wondered if we could crash here in the club for a few days until we find someplace else?" Kaii says.
"Oh? Where did you live in the first place?"
"We were actually gonna explain that tonight when all the members are here." Shinji answered.
"Hmm alright. But on one condition. You two must join the Occult Research Club."
"Evil Pieces don't work on us." Kaii said with a smirk.
"Oh that's no problem. But that doesn't mean you get off easy." Rias smirked also in response. "You still must join the club and help us. Club activities and such. But you can also consider us a family, you know that right?"
Shinji agreed right away, but Kaii looked a bit reluctant.
The word "family" had a bit of a twisted meaning to him...
But he accepted.
"Well make yourselves comfortable. Everyone won't be here for a while."
At this point, it was Rias, Issei, Asia, Koneko, Akeno, Kiba, Kaii and Shinji sitting around awkwardly.
The door to the room opened, revealing someone no one except Rias was expecting.
Shinji grew a massive smirk, Asia and Issei's eyes widened, and Kaii's jaw dropped as he cursed himself.
"Why are you here?!" Issei yelled to Xenovia, who entered the room in a Kuoh uniform.
"What's going on here, Buchou?!"
"She's my new Knight!" Rias exclaimed happily. "Let's all be friends with her!"
"A Knight?! Don't tell me you're-"
Xenovia let her Devil wings out, promptly catching Kaii, Issei and Asia off guard.
"She's been reincarnated as a Devil?!" Asia said.
"After hearing God was dead, in sheer desperation, I begged to be reincarnated." Xenovia answered.
"Begged?" Issei tried to swallow what he's hearing.
"I'm very glad we have an ally that can use Durandal." Rias turned to see Shinji and Kaii with even more shocked faces. "Oh, silly me, we never told you what happened during the fight with Kokabiel while you fought the Hydra!"
"I'll be a second year, and in your class, Kaii-kun." Xenovia finished with a purposely cute voice.
Shinji's smirk couldn't possibly get bigger without splitting his face, while Kaii's eyes were wide like a monkey.
"Don't talk cute like that with a straight face!" He quipped.
"I was trying to imitate Irina, but I just can't get it right." She admitted while looking conflicted.
"Are you really sure about this?" Issei asked.
"Now that God is dead, my life is as good as over." Xenovia explained with her finger under her chin. "But should I really side with the Devils, who used to be my enemies? Oh Lord help me!"
She then recoiled from the headache.
"Oh, what about Irina?" Issei asked.
"She returned to headquarters. Irina is more faithful than I am. Telling her of God's fate would devastate her. Learning a forbidden secret made me a hindrance to the church. I've been excommunicated."
Kaii's face softened. "Are you okay?"
That, is when something strange happened.
Shinji and Rias, the ones most perceptive of "love" both widened their eyes as Xenovia's face momentarily flushed.
"H-Huh? Of course I am!"
Kaii tilted his head, but Asia started speaking,
"Is that why you became a Devil?"
Xenovia shook her head back to reality, and shamefully bowed her head.
"I owe you an apology Asia Argento. I went through what you must have when I was there. I'm sorry."
"Xenovia-san, I'm very happy with my life right now." Asia merely stated.
"Now then, before I explain everything, I gotta go grab something from my last place, so I'll be back in an hour." Kaii said while walking out.
"Oh! I have a pact to get, so I'll be back around the same time Buchou!" Issei said while racing out to his bike.
...Little did they notice the person in a hood with strange designs hovering over the clubhouse.
"Fufufu, all these Sacred Gear wielders, a Durandal wielder, the daughter of Fallen Angel Baraqiel, a Nekoshou, and the sister of Maou. This place is not short of talent by any means. Of course... that means nothing. Everything ends in demise. Demise is the end of all. But the question is, who will meet their Absolute Demise first?"
...That person continued to watch Kaii, as he felt that presence once again...
A bit later at Azazel's house.
Azazel and Issei were playing a competitive fighting game in the living room.
"AH!" Issei yelled in frustration.
"I've been training day and night to beat you. You've skipped out a lot recently."
"I'm sorry. I had some things to do. You really spent a fortune didn't you?"
"Our trip to the arcade got me hooked."
"Wow, you even got all the consoles! Even the craziest of collectors wouldn't have all this."
"I just can't stop once I start collecting things."
Azazel's bangs covered his eyes, and he smirked. "People always call me a fanatic when it comes to my collectibles."
"Huh? I've heard someone say that before."
Azazel beat Issei and stood up. "How about another match, Devil-kun? Or should I call you Sekiryuutei?"
The two turn around to see Kaii walking out with a bag of stuff-
"K-Kaii, what are you?!-"
Azazel lets his 6 pairs of wings come out in front of Issei, whose face was in complete shock.
"I am Azazel, leader of the Fallen Angels."
So, what can you expect from this story?
The plot will slowly branch off into its own as the story progresses. There will be lots of OC's, both good and evil.
Harem and romantic development will be a slow process up until a certain point.
Kaii is not the oblivious/dense type. Yes, there will be lemons. No, they won't be soon. They will not be intrusive to the plot.
