Gabriel Arc Pt. 1
Chapter 3: Heaven's Calling
"Hello," the girl said while giving a cute smile, "My name is Gabriel, let's have a good year!"
My jaw dropped.
Why? Well, one of my ArchAngels is literally in my class! Why would she come here?! I don't want Heaven to find out that I'm back, not quite yet!
As she was finished with her introduction, she was already getting swarmed by the other people in the class. I took this time to hide behind my book, hoping she doesn't notice me. I turned off my angelic aura so she wouldn't notice I'm an angel, so I think I should be fine, as long as the sensei doesn't sit her next to me.
"Gabriel-san, you could sit over there in the back, right next to Hyoudou Issei," the sensei announced.
Okay, phew, I thought she said sit next to Hyo-
HUHHHH?!
What?! Why me?! No, please don't! God, please help me!
Wait, I'm God, what am I saying?
I tried to stay un-noticed by Gabriel as I literally shoved my nose into my book.
Once the class started, I started to lift my head glancing over to my right side, hoping that Gabriel is doing her work and not paying attention to her surroundings.
With just my luck, she wasn't. She was completely sucked in to the work we were doing, so I let my guard down, and started to pay attention to the lesson.
I glanced at her again, thinking about one thing.
I could see why she's the most beautiful girl in Heaven. She is quite the beauty. I noticed that I was staring her for quite too long, when she suddenly looked towards my side and gave off a smile.
Uh-oh.
Trembling with surprise for only a split-second, I gathered myself and tried to make it look like I wasn't looking at her.
"You're Hyoudou Issei, correct?" she asked.
I was quite surprised. I'm just hoping that Michael hasn't leaked out that their God is alive, or else I'll destryoy Heaven myself!
No, not really.
"Uhh- Y-yes?"
"Wow! The fan club is right!" her face started to bright up with a red shade, as she fixed her hair and extended her arm, "You're really cute! I'm Gabriel."
All my worries went away. She doesn't know who I am, that's...good.
I stuck out my arm, and did the same thing I had done to Rias. I lifted her palm and kissed it, once again proving my sudden actions are too bold, as she gave of 50 shades of red.
This is weird, I did this to Rias but.. why am I getting flustered?
Huh, I'll just leave it at that.
The class went on and I started to drone out some of the lessons we were learning, as I thought about the so-called "dream" I had the other night. I just can't let that be.
I shook my head on focused on something else, when the sweet, sounding bell, has took its toll and rang, indicating that school was over.
I packed up my stuff, and was headed out, only to be disrupted by Gabriel.
"Hyoudou Issei!"
She ran up to me and she started playing with her fingers. I could tell she's meaning to ask something but what?
"If you don't have any p-plans," she stuttered, "Would you mind going out to eat? W-with me?" she asked while bowing.
I was about to say yes, but I had realized at the last second that I had told Rias that I was going to stop by the clubhouse after school had ended.
Now wanting to reject her, I gave her a reassuring smile, and had told her that I had some plans today.
"What plans?" she asked.
Sigh, I can't say I'm meeting with devils cause she'll freak out!
"I have to uhh- stop by the pharmacy, to umm- get my mom some medicine! Yeah." I lied.
With a rejected frown, she blandly replied,
"Oh.. alright,"
Before she left, I caught onto her hand.
"Dont worry, maybe some other time," I reassured while giving off a warm smile, causing her to blush for the third time today.
"O-Okay!"
And with that, she ran away, giggling.
I made my way over to the old clubhouse, only to be greeted by a group I don't know. I felt so out-of-place considering I was the only angel here, but they do seem like nice people.
"Ah, Issei," Rias had greeted once I walked in the room.
"This is the school president, and my best friend Sona Sitri," she introduced.
"I've heard many thing about you Hyoudou Issei, your fanclub is certainly something else,"
I chuckled, "Haha, sorry,"
"This is my Queen, Tsubaki, and the rest of my peerage," she said as she motioned her hand, indicating her peerage.
Suddenly, a boy with blond hair, a little darker than Rias' knight came up and center.
"Im Saji, I took up 4 pawns, how many did you take up?" he asked with quite the confidence.
"Saji," Sona started, "Be careful what you say, he's more powerful than you, you know," Sona stated as she tried to hide her embarrasment.
"Huh? What do you mean Kaichou? Does he not know about Sacred Gears?" he asked.
Redirecting his attention back to me, he started to explain what Sacred Gears are.
Oh, trust me I know what they are.
"My Sacred Gear is," he motioned his left hand as a black gauntlet apperead on his hand.
That Sacred Gear, I haven't seen the being I sealed in there quite a long time. It's good to see old friends.
"Vritra!" he announced outloud.
The Sacred Gear started to glow.
[Oi, that guy over there]
"Did Vritra just talk?!" Saji said as he was quite surprised.
Ignoring Saji's outburst, Sona asked,
"What about him Vritra?"
[He's not who you think he is.]
My eyes bulged. Vritra shut your trap! Don't you dare say it!
[It's been a while Kam-]
Before he could continue and before anyone noticed, I lifted my index finger and pointed at Saji's Sacred Gear, causing it to disengage.
"What happened? Vritra?" Saji started to motion his arm again, trying to bring Vritra out.
It's no use, I put him to sleep for an hour, and maybe altered his memory, but I can't tell him that.
"Well, that was-.. something else," Rias declared, still trying to grasp what just happened.
I just sighed. That was quite the close call.
"I wonder what Vritra was talking about?" Rias questioned.
I couldn't help but to cough at that statement.
"Anyways," I started to say before they find out who i truly am, "Not trying to be rude Sona-kaichou, but what's your business here?" I asked humbly.
"Well," she started, "It came up to our attention that some Fallen Angels are on the move."
"To say in close detail, they found out about the peace treaty, and they're opposing to it."
"Is it Azazel that's opposing it?" I asked.
"No, it seems that someone has ignored Azazel. Much to his cause, Azazel himself does not know about the recent skirmishes the fallen angels are causing, so, we've gotten a report that something big is happening tonight, and it's quite concerning."
This caught the attention of both Rias' peerage as well as Sona's.
"Do you have any idea what they're planning to do?" Kiba had asked.
I'm starting to know everyone's names and I'm quite glad.
"They're preparing to take the Sacred Gear Twilight Healing."
I started to cough even more. Seriously, am I hearing everyone correctly today?!
"I-I'm sorry, but did you say Twilight Healing?" I asked cautiously.
"Yes, and the reason why they want it because it could not only heal angels anymore, but fallen angels and devils as well." Sona explained more thoroughly.
Huh, I could see why they would want something like that, but Twilight Healing could heal devils and fallen angels now too? That's certainly the surprise. I haven't seen a healing Sacred Gear with such abilities.
"So, what do we do?" Akeno asked.
"The only thing we can do," Sona started to look around the whole clubroom as if she was inspecting something, "With this whole team, we could stop what they're planning," Sona finished off with a confident smile.
"Alright, so that's the plan, everyone meet up at the church tonight, at 9 PM," Rias stated.
With those words in mind, I exited out the clubroom and was headed home, since we had about another 4 hours till we needed to meet up at our designated place.
I was en route to my house when suddenly, I got pushed down to the floor by something at quite the fast speed.
"Ahh.." I groaned as I picked myself up and scratched my head.
I looked infront of me trying to find out what I'd bump into, when all I saw was a cute brunette girl, with her luggage open and her clothes all over the floor.
Seeing her struggle, I decided to help her up and started to put her clothes back inside her luggage.
"I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed.
"Ah, it's no need, I wasn't paying attention to where I was heading," I said, while giving off my signature smile.
"My name's Irina," she said while giving a slight blush.
"My name's Hyoudou Issei, nice to meet you,"
I had packed the last pair of clothes back into her luggage, so I handed it back to her.
"Oh, thanks."
"Don't metion it," I replied, "By the way, what's with the rush? Heading somewhere?" I asked.
"Uhh, I was appointed to a new church, and the said that it was in this town here," she said while making hand gestures that indicated this area, "I was on my way there, but I don't know where it is, and I started to panic since I don't know anyone here, so I started to run, as a last resort to find the place."
"Ah I see, well if you don't mind I could show you where it is, I've only moved recently as well but I know where the church is."
"Would you really?!" she bursted out.
"Haha, yeah don't worry,"
"Thank you, Hyodou Issei-kun!" she started to bow infront of me, causing a lot of people to wonder what we were doing.
"Hey, pick your head up, it's no problem really, and just call me Ise-kun if you want, no need for Hyoudou," I had said while we started to walk into the direction of the church.
She picked up her head and started walking with the pace I had started. On the way there, we started talking about quite a few things.
Turns out she's a nun from her church, and.. that's kinda cute..
"Well, here it is," I said, wishing that I could've talked to her more. It's sad really, I feel like we sort of hit it off.
"Oh," she gloomy replied, "Will I ever get to see you again Ise-kun?"
"Of course! I'd like that as well."
"Yay! I'll see you around Ise-kun!"
And with that, she waved her hand and went inside the church. That was quite a long walk to be honest.
I was now en route, once again, back to my house, as I had to pick a bone with a certain ArchAngel.
Once I get home, I placed my hand on my table, and a yellow magic circle appeared in the middle of my table.
An illusion of Michael had appeared.
"Oh, hey Ise-sama, how's it going down there?" Michael asked with a smile.
"Oh, don't 'how's it going down there' me Michael, what were you thinking sending Gabriel down here?!" I exclaimed sternly.
"Is she in your class Ise-sama?"
"YES!"
"Oh, you toned down your aura right?"
"Of course, I don't want her to find out that I'm her missing God."
"I know that, but you know how her dream has always been to visit and study on Earth."
"Yeah.. I know, it's just.. you could've told me you know?"
"I'm sorry Ise-sama, things have been quite hectic up here in HQ."
"I can't blame you for that, but I have a quick question Michael."
"Yes?"
"What's been going on with the fallen angels? There's a skirmish that I'm going to attend to right now."
"Oh, you have heard about that as well?"
"Yeah, we're visiting the church in about a few minutes, what do you know about it?"
"Not much, just that it's not Azazel who's behind it. That's all I know Ise-sama."
"Thanks Michael,"
I glanced at the clock
8:35
"Alright Michael, it's almost time, I'll report back to you once I come back." I stated as I waved my hand and Michael's illusion dissapeared.
I started up a teleport circle and with a bright glow, I was at the church in mere seconds.
Everyone was here really early, much more earlier than what everyone planned to.
"Why is everyone so early?" I asked with the turn-up of people that were already here.
Sona and her peerage were here and so was Rias and her peerage.
"We noticed some movement so we got here earlier than expected," Sona explained.
"Alright, so here's what were going to do," she looked at Rias and said, "Rias, take your peerage, head to the forest and start putting magical barriers around the church, with what were about to do, it's best if we don't get civilians involved in this." Sona looks at her peerage and then says, "You guys go help them out as well, if my estimates are correct, we only need Saji and Issei for this," she had finished while flashing me and Saji a smile.
Everyone replied with a simple yes and go to work.
Me and Saji snuck around the church throught the bushes when we suddenly heard some screaming inside the church.
"What was that?!" Saji said surprisingly.
"No time to waste, let's go."
I started to run right back around the main entrance of the church and I kicked the door opened. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
"Okay, now what the hell is that?" Saji exclaimed.
"It's a device that gets rid of a person's Sacred Gear from their body." I explained. I didn't want to give him an explanation that would scar him. I've seen what this device does.
Staring into the device more longingly, I noticed there was a girl strapped on the device.
Oh no, please no.
I started to shiver, thinking why, out of all people, why her.
Me and Saji started to walk a little closer when suddenly black feathers started to fall from our midst.
We looked up and noticed a bulky figure with black wings, looking at us with hate.
"So, you decided to drop by huh? We were expecting you to come." he said with a husky voice.
He readied his arm, as a light spear formed within his grasp.
Normally, this would be a problem if I was a devil, but I'm not, Saji on the other hand though, brought out Vritra, and tried to put an Absorption Line on the bulky figure, only for it to be but cut off. He threw his spear towards me and Saji, who was bracing himself for the impact.
I extended my arm, and the light spear's shape dissappeared once it reached my palm.
The bulky man widened his eyes buy the sudden actions I had pulled.
"W-Who are you?!" the bulky man asked, as he formed another light spear and threw it down to me and Saji, only for it to be, once again, dissappear once it reached my grasp.
This time, it was my turn to attack.
I summoned my sword, it was a sleek, long katana with what appears to be a white cloth wrapped around the hilt, almost midway from the body of the katana. I had picked up this sword during my fight with a certain God of Calamity. I jumped up, reached his height, and slashed him with my sword, causing him to fall down on the floor pretty hard. He coughed out blood as his chest had a huge slash.
I grabbed my sword, and put it towards his neck, suggesting that he should surrender.
"Ha, surrender? My job's done, go ahead and kill me already, I have no use in life anymore." he announced.
Me being the forgiving person I am, let go of his grasp only for him to caught me off guard and kick me on the floor.
"Fool, we knew that you were different, and that happens to be your own weakness. You are Ka-"
His words stopped as a sword pierced his chest.
I could only look in complete shock as to what had happened.
It was Saji, who picked up my sword from the floor, and stab the bulky figure to death.
I was about to confront Saji when the girl from the device started to scream in pain.
Another figure appeared from behind the device and had a glowing orb withing her fingertips.
Her eyes popped out as she exclaimed with excitement, "Yes, I did it! Twilight Healing is mine!"
No, no, no, no, no!
"You fool! Do you know what happens when you remove a Sacred Gear from a human?!" I exclaimed while on the brink of tears.
Irina, the innocent girl I had met not long ago, is dead because of her.
This fallen angel girl.
I was enraged.
She had such a life to live, and now she's dead. All because of me. If I hadn't shown her the church, what would've happened? Would she have lived?
I was thinking about all the things we could've done, when suddenly, she opened her eyes. From the way she was looking, she was quite weak. Her body could give out any minute. She then turned her head to me and spoke.
"Ise-kun... I.. am glad.. to have met... someone like you..."
It was then her eyes gave out and closed shut. Tears were flowing out of my eyes. Such an innocent girl doesn't deserve to die! She shouldn't!
It was then I decided to take matters to my own hand. I had urged Saji to give me back my sword and I was going to confront this fallen angel bitch.
He passed me my sword, and once I held a grip of it, I ran towards her, godspeed.
She was scared. Her knees started to buckle, re-thinking that this might've been a mistake. She lifted her palm and started to summon light spears.
"Stay away!" she screeched.
It was useless.
I took the spear head-on and swung my sword, causing the light energy to part ways and destroy the surrounding around me.
I got up to her face and held my sword close to her neck. She was trying to struggle free, but I held a grip on her that surpressed her movements.
"You don't know who you're messing with." I said coldly.
Her eyes were giving off signals that she was more than frightened.
"Tell me," I began to say, "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you. It's the least you could do right? After all you took that poor, innocent girls live over there. Now, what do you say?!" I yelled out.
Rage came upon my body, and I was practically shouting my lungs off.
"I-It wasn't my fault," she said shakily, as she was trembling really hard, " I-I was j-just following orders."
"From who?" I asked sternly.
"F-From Kokabiel."
I looked at the fear in her eyes, as much as I wanted to let release my anger, there's no point in taking it out on this girl. She's telling the truth.
I sighed, I really am forgiving.
"Alright, I trust you, I could see the look in your eyes that you're quite telling the truth."
I let go of my grip and she sat down, in shock, re-thinking about what happened.
I sat down next to her and started to reason with her.
"You umm alright?.." I asked trying to comfort the fallen angel next to me.
"Uhh..." she was still shaking with fear, "I..don't know..." she was recalling all of her actions and she realized this has been a mistake.
"I'm sorry..." she whispered while she herself was on the brink of tears.
"It's alright," I sighed, "If you're truly sorry, would you mind giving back Twilight Healing?"
Her eyes widened by my suggestion.
"B-but, Kokabiel will kill me if I d-do.." she said while shuddering and weighing her options.
"Don't worry," I said as a started to stare at her eyes, "I can assure your safety."
She started to blush.
She silently nodded and handed me Twilight Healing.
I got up on the device and un-hooked Irina.
I looked at her and she's dead. What could I do? I don't want her to die.
Thinking about it for a while, an idea popped up in my head.
I carried Irina on my back and was headed out when I heard a voice, calling for me.
"U-umm.." she asked, "W-what's your name?"
"Hyoudou, Hyoudou Issei, call me Ise-kun, though." I said while giving off my signature smile.
I turned around once again and left the fallen angel girl, whose name I didn't get, to wonder, if she will ever see me again.
Once I was outside, I noticed that everyone was here. Sona's peerage and Rias' peerage.
Their eyes widened at the girl whom I'm carrying on my back.
"What happened to her?" Rias asked.
"She's the Twilight Healing user, they successfully took out Twilight Healing from her," I said as I opened up my palm and a green orb was seen, floating atop of it.
"By the way Sona," I started, "How do you know that the skirmish that happened inside the church was enough for just me and Saji?" I asked, remembering what she had told me and Saji before we walked inside the church.
"Let's just say.. It was a sudden instinct." she said as she gave me a wink.
I slightly blushed, thinking that she may know who I truly am.
"Well, there's no time to waste, I'll be on my way." I said as I started up a magic circle in an attempt to go home.
Before the I stepped in, Rias had asked me,
"What are you going to do with her?" she asked, mentioning the girl I was carrying.
I let out a smile and said, "You'll see."
And with a bright flash, I was gone.
"Wait Kaichou," Saji asked, "Is Hyoudou an angel?"
"Sigh, Saji, you are still quite new to everything, so everything will make sense eventually."
Once I was home, I placed my palm on the table once again, summoning Michael in an illusion form.
"Ise-sama? Do you need something?" Michael had asked.
"Yeah, Michael, is there anyone at HQ right now?" I asked making sure no one was there, for I don't want anyone to see my sudden appereance in Heaven.
"No, everyone had left, but why?"
"Good, mind teleporting me there?"
"Yeah sure."
Michael's illusion faded and before he could get a chance to teleport me to Heaven, I quickly grabbed Irina and put her on my back again.
Don't worry Irina, you'll be living life once more.
Once again with a bright flash I was gone, only this time I was in Heaven.
When the light faded, I was at a place where I haven't been in the longest. There was a fountain in the middle of the room and there were bookshelves filled with books everywhere. There was a long discussion table not too far from where I was standing and a big screen that shows the activities of everything that's been going on in our worlds.
"Looks like how you left it huh?" a voiced emerged from the corner of the room.
"Yeah, thanks for keeping it this way Michael."
He smiled, "No problem Ise-sama. So what's the emerg-"
He stopped when he saw the girl that was hung over my shoulders.
"Yeah," I said gloomily, "She's a nun that I'd met before my mission at the church."
"How did she die?"
I pulled out the green orb that had a ring in the middle of it.
His eyes widened, for he knew how dangerous Sacred Gear removals are.
"So, you're plan is to re-incarnate her into an angel?" he asked as he inspected the girls body, thinking if she could handle the power of being an angel.
"Is it too much?" I asked with concern.
"No, it seems she could handle it," he said with a reassuring smile.
That's a relief.
I placed Irina in the middle of me and Michael as we started to chant and incantation of re-incarnation;
As this soul walk along the line we call life and death
Each life and death can be renewed
Matters not for it's life
But it's worth and value
I hereby ask you to stand up
And serve me your lord and your god
Your Savior
A bright light surrounded her body and her body started to raise from the ground. Negative energy were getting removed from her body and at the same time, a purified soul came in and flew inside her body. Taking this chance, I threw in the Sacred Gear hoping that her body would accept it.
The re-incarnation was about to be complete when suddenly a familiar voice was heard as the door opened.
"Michael-sama here are the reports of the recent fallen an-" she stopped as she looked at me and Michael.
Uh-oh.
"H-Hyoudou I-Issei?!" she exclaimed with her eyes quite widened.
This is going to be a rough explanation.
A/N: Sorry for not updating yesterday, this chapter took really long to write. Well longer than the others lol. I wrote this at 1PM yesterday, took a one hour break at like 5 PM and worked till 10 and I just fell asleep on the spot so sorry. The Fallen Angel that got killed was Dohnaseek if you guys didn't know but you all probably did. And if you're wondering why I wrote the story like this, it will all make sense in the future, don't worry. See you all in the next chapter :). Also, the next few chapters are probably going to be fillers with a little bit of what happened here.
