Well here's a new chapter… yeah, I really got nothing to say about this one except that there may be some feels somewhere in the chapter. So, with all of that said and done on to the reviews and straight to the story.
EnderGhost1225: Yes, you are correct in that assumption if there is a change in Edward that needs to be noticed I will put that information down at the bottom. That and with anything that is not related to the anime/manga.
scout4343: Yeah, this idea, or actually Edward himself, just came to me and I kept on revising him until I had this perfect little Highschool DxD OC. But, I don't mind if you don't tune in for this fanfic, plus I don't like character bashing either unless the person puts the character in a light where they deserve to be bashed on. I won't let this deter me and I will see this story through to its possible beautiful ending!
Disclaimer: I do not own Highschool DxD or any character that you recognize from other anime, I only own my OC

{Divine Dividing}- Albion Speech
The day that would decide their fates had finally arrived, the Rating Game between Rias Gremory and Riser Phenex was today. Everyone had their parts given out to them by Rias and they all knew exactly what to do. The day before everyone had witnessed the results of Issei's training through his ability, Dragon Shot, which blew up a nearby mountaintop with nearly fourteen boosts. This had shown the [Pawn] the progress that he had made during their ten day training camp. After the demonstration they went over all of Riser's pieces, their strengths, weaknesses, and where he would most likely put them.
However, the current tension in the ORC was justifiable as the six Devils and one human prepared for combat. During their strategy meeting Edward had revealed that he possessed the Sacred Gear [Jade Archery]. A jade green bow in which he could make its arrows out of the elements and have special abilities with his imagination. This pleased the high-class Devil as she had placed him on guarding their base from any of Riser's [Pawns]. During the preparation time at the beginning of the match Koneko, Kiba, and Akeno would place traps all throughout the forest to ensure that the enemy servants wouldn't get near their base.
The rest of the plan would carry out as soon as this had happened leaving them all to trust in their [King]'s judgement. As they all waited Issei looked over at the crouching figure of the only human present. "Hey, Edward, can I ask you a question?" The ravenette just looked at brunette before giving a curt nod. "Are you… nervous that you might get killed out there? I mean you are human after all, so aren't you afraid?"
The others looked at the Irish man waiting for his reaction only to see him shake his head slightly. "Issei, I am subbing in as a [Knight] for Miss Gremory. This means that I will be able to move faster during the duration of the game. Also, if push comes to shove I will just draw my trump card."
This made everyone in the room remember that their comrade is in possession of a Holy Sword. Meaning that he will most likely be safe during the duration of the entire match. However, Rias thought that he wasn't talking about his Holy Sword, but something else entirely. Just as she was about to ask him about it the Gremory seal had appeared underneath them all flashing a bright red light. After the light had died down Issei had noticed that they were still inside of the club room.
"Umm, Prez, did something go wrong?" Issei asked in worry as he continued to look around. "'Cause it looks like we're still inside the club room."
Rias shook her head as she pointed towards the window revealing that the sky outside was a menagerie of different colors. "No, it worked, Issei, we are now inside of a perfect replica of Kuoh Academy."
[Hello, my name is Grayfia Lucifuge. I am a servant of the house of Gremory and I will be the supervisor for today's Rating Game between Lady Rias, heir to the house of Gremory, and Lord Riser, scion to the house of Phenex. Lady Rias' base is in the Old School Building while Lord Riser's will be in the student council room. Now both teams will have a fifteen minute preparation period before the match begins.]
With the announcement made Koneko, Kiba, and Akeno went out to apply the traps in the woods around the aged building. While this occurred Rias went over the plan one more time to Issei, Asia, and Edward, who went out to his post on the roof preparing his Sacred Gear in the process. As the others came back with their task completed the signal for the beginning of the game went off.
Issei and Koneko went out to the gymnasium to secure it only to find the [Rook], Xuelen, and the [Pawns], Mira, Nel and Ile were already there. They all just stared at each other before Koneko rushed forward and attacked Xuelen, leaving the three others for Issei to handle. The fight was going good for the enemy until Issei decided to use his new special move that he had been working on, Dress Break. After tapping the three girls on random spots on their bodies a red magic circle appeared where he touched them. Though, once he snapped his fingers their clothes literally tore themselves right off of their bodies.
"Of course YOU of all people would make a move that would strip a girl of her clothes you pervert." Koneko blatantly commented as she glanced down at the immobilized fighter.
"Hey, at least it worked! Now, we need to get out of her tout suite!" After saying this the two servants of Gremory left the building only for a giant blast of lightning to destroy it.
[Lord Riser: one Rook and three Pawns have retired.]
Issei smiled at that only to get pushed away by Koneko and feel the blast of an explosion behind him. Turning around he sees the slightly charred form of the school mascot disappear.
[Lady Rias: one Rook has retired]
Issei looks up to see the busty form of Riser's [Queen], Yubelluna. The brunette was pissed off at the sudden defeat of his comrade. As he was about to challenge the stronger Devil a shot of lightning appeared and almost hit the older woman. Issei turned his head to see Akeno flying towards them in some shrine maiden garb. "Issei, hurry up and get to the field! Kiba is heading there right now and could use your assistance! I'll talk care of this one."
With a rather reluctant nod of his head Issei took off towards the fields only to hear an announcement. [Lord Riser: three Pawns have retired.] This made Issei freeze for a moment as he thought of how they might have gotten passed them. Wait, that meant that Edward was the one that defeated them, which was… rather strange. But that can be thought about later as he met Kiba at the fields. A message came through from Rias saying that she was heading out to go and fight Riser herself and that Asia was coming with her to help. This brought the worried comments of both men as they tried to dissuade her, but had no luck in doing so. Only wishing the best for their master in her battle against Riser.
On the other side of the field stood the rest of Riser's peerage: his two [Bishops], Ravel and Mihae, his [Knights], Siris and Karlamine, his other [Rook], Isabela, and his last two [Pawns], Ni and Li. Karlamine rushes forward and began to assault Kiba in sword combat while Isabela attacked Issei. During the fight with his opponent Kiba's Holy Eraser was destroyed by the fire sword of Karlamine.
"Ha, what are you gonna do now pretty boy!" The [Knight] taunted him as he smirked slightly at his opponent and held out his hilt. "Then why don't you try this one, NOW FREEZE!" With that a spike of ice appeared from the hilt before shattering to reveal an entirely new sword.
"No way! There's no way that you have two Sacred Gear! It doesn't matter fire still beats ice!" The blonde woman yelled as she broke his new sword and like before a new blade appeared with a hole at the top which quickly absorbed the flames of her sword. "What the hell! Just how many Sacred Gear do you have!?"
As she drew a dagger expelling wind from behind her back they clashed blades once more. "It's not that I have multiple Sacred Gear, I just have the ability to create them." The [Knight] of Gremory smirked at her shocked face. "Ever hear of something called [Sword Birth]? It gives me the ability to create swords and not just any swords, magic swords." With that he placed his hand on the ground and a small circle of blades jutted out from around him. However, Karlamine was able to escape its range before it was able to retire her from the match.
With the fight with Isabela and Issei however, things weren't looking too good for the latter as he kept trying to dodge all of the [Rook]'s punches. "Come on, stop running away and fight!"
She kept on punching at the [Pawn] as a single blow was able to hit him in the gut sending him back a few meters. He wiped what appeared to be blood off from his mouth with the [Boosted Gear] as he stared the woman down.
[BOOST!]
The call of his gauntlet charging up brought back the thoughts of the Dragon Shot. As the small orb of energy built up in his left palm Isabela tried to move in and stop him only for it fire off barely missing her, but destroying some of the forest with it instead. "Hey, I didn't pass out this time!" Isabela looked back at the brunette and charged him once again causing him to stumble backwards a little before moving forwards and punched the masked girl in the chest.
"Ha, you're done for!" As he removed his hand a red magic circle appeared on her chest before he snapped his fingers using his Dress Break skill once again. "Now, Dragon Shot!" The beam of energy fired off once again as it consumed the woman.
[Lord Riser: one Rook has retired.]
A small smile graced his face until he was attacked by both the nekomata twins and Siris. As he struggled to get them off of him he knew that he was too weak and that he couldn't beat them. That was until he knew that Rias would probably lose if he was taken out now. So, with a swing of the Sacred Gear on his left arm he struck the [Knight]'s swinging sword breaking it before pushing her away.
"Oh great Welsh Dragon, if you can hear me please grant me the power to protect my friends!" [DRAGON BOOSTER!] A small surge of power could be felt before he shook his head in anger. "It's not enough! Please sync with my feelings and grant me the power that I need to win!"
[WELSH DRAGON: SECOND LIBERATION!]
With the words yelled out by the Sacred Gear a huge pillar of green energy bursted outwards. Inside the pillar the [Boosted Gear] changed as it became a darker red with small golden spikes appearing near the main jewel as a new one appeared by the two larger golden spikes near the top. "Woah, it changed again." That is when an idea came into the pervert's devious little head. "Kiba, put all of the power you got into your Sacred Gear! Trust me!"
The blonde pretty boy looked at the brunette with slight skepticism before smiling and raising his current sword upwards. "[SWORD BIRTH]!" The wave of energy that came when he struck the ground was sent towards Issei as it was then taken into the [Boosted Gear].
[TRANSFER!]
The command was obvious as what was once the small circle of blades had nearly covered the entire courtyard, impaling Siris, Ni, Li, Mihae, and Karlamine while barely missing Ravel who flew away. "I don't understand, how could we lose?" The voice of the impaled blonde said as she disappeared.
[Lord Riser: one Bishop, one Rook, two Knights, and three Pawns have retired.]
The looks of joy on their faces were incredibly brilliant as they had nearly wiped out all of the burnt yakitori's peerage. That was until a new announcement was made.
[Lady Rias: one Queen has retired.]
This made both Kiba and Issei to look upwards only to see Akeno disappearing as she fell from the sky. This only made Kiba too late to dodge what appeared to be a bomb of sorts strike him from behind taking him out as well.
[Lady Rias: one Knight has retired.]
Issei was in a state of shock at how fast his two friends were taken out, not noticing that Yubelluna was building up another magic bomb. However, she wasn't able to fire it off as a gleaming white arrow struck her in middle of her chest before exploding in a brilliant white light.
[Lord Riser: one Queen has retired.]
"Hey, Issei, you need to get your head in the game and get over to the council room so you can help Rias defeat Riser. I'll be there in a sec." The ever calm voice of Edward spoke through a magic circle by his ear as he nodded his head and went towards the student council room, completely ignoring an annoyed Ravel Phenex.
As he reached the room he began to make his way to the top of the building where he had promoted to [Queen]. "Alright here I come Rias." As he reached the top he found his master in a taste of distress with her clothes all torn up and Asia was trying to heal her only for Riser to attack the two of them.
"Well well well, look what the cat dragged in. It appears that your beloved little [Pawn] has decided to join us my darling Rias. Why don't I destroy him in front of your very eyes!" With that the blonde Phenex began to attack the startled Issei and began to kick, punch, and flat out pummel him into the ground.
Riser had grabbed the new Devil by his face and held him up as a large ball of fire began to build up in the other. "Now, watch as your beloved [Pawn] burns Rias Gremory!" With a look of fear in her eyes Rias was about to call for a surrender until a shimmering arrow of water collided with the fireball effectively putting it out.
With startled eyes they all glanced over at the disturbance only to see the young Irish man holding [Jade Archery]. "Well then it seems that my timing was rather perfect."
Riser scowled as he chunked Issei over at Rias and Asia. "You! You will die for the humiliation that you have brought upon me!"
Edward shrugged his shoulders as he just glanced at his opponent. "All I did was bite your hand and call you delicious there is nothing wrong with that. But, if you want to make things interesting…" The ravenette looked over at the Phenex scion with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "How about a little wager? If you win I will become your loyal servant for the rest of my life."
Riser's fury died down slightly as he continued to glare at the pathetic human. "And what is it that you would get from this little wager?"
Edward's eyes showed a glint of mirth as he held out seven fingers. "A [Bishop], a [Knight], a [Rook], and four [Pawns]."
Riser's eyes widened as his glare came back full force. "As if I would ever give you half of my peerage you weak little human!"
A small smirk found its way onto the Irish man's face as he looked up at the flying Devil. "But, if you don't want to play with these wagers then you don't have to after all you, the great Riser Phenex, would never dream about losing to a human that is far weaker then himself." As he said this a tear began to open as the Holy aura began to leak out.
The taunt was cast out and it was taken almost immediately. "I accept! And I can't wait to make you scream for mercy when I'm done torturing you and having my way with any women that you have in your life!" With that said Edward lost that mirthful glint on his face as it turned even more dull and lifeless then before.
"I changed my mind I'm not gonna draw my sword." With that he pushed what appeared to be the hilt of a sword back into the tear before closing it. He moved his hand to the other side before opening a new tear releasing an unmentionable amount of Demonic energy and bloodlust out of it. Soon after the tip of what appeared to be be a spear came out of the tear it shot forward, almost piercing Riser's shoulder if he hadn't jumped into the air.
The tip of the spear retracted back into the main pole as the Irish man pulled the rest of it out of the tear, closing it in the process. "This is the legacy of my family. This spear is the weapon that we have wielded for generations. My last name is not Strauss, it is…"
~Line Break: Edward just arrived~
In the viewing room of the Rating Game the current heads of both families, two of the current Satans, Sona with her peerage and Sebastian watched as Edward taunted Riser. "Well then that poor human is most likely going to die now." Lord Phenex stated with a mocking grin as he heard the wager that the Irish child was making.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that my Lord." The voice of the black haired golem spoke up as all of the Devils looked at him. "I would say that whatever weapon that Master Edward chooses will decide the fate of your son. All I can say is that either one will leave him heavily injured, possibly on the brink of death."
The Lord scoffed at the butler's claims as he looked at him accusingly. "And why do you say that golem?"
Sebastian merely smiled as he released a light chuckle. "Ufufufufu, my Lord, one of the two weapons in his possession is a Holy Sword." That caught all of them off guard until they hear Riser's claim on making any women in Edward's life his along and with the child's claim on saying that he wouldn't draw his sword. "Oh my! Now your son is most likely to die now. That is if Master Edward is feeling merciful."
Sirzechs looked over at the well dressed golem with a raised eyebrow. "Most likely to die 'now'? My dear man you do realize that as much as it irks me to say this, but the Phenex clan has an ungodly regeneration factor making it almost impossible to kill them."
"Yes, that would be the case with most traditional methods, but regeneration won't work if their heart is ripped out."
All of their eyes were now staring the butler down as they looked at him as if he was crazy. "Tear his heart out? What do you mean by that?" The usually stoic voice of Sona Sitri asked him with great worry.
Yet, he merely smiled as he just pointed at the screen. "You are about to find out." They all turned back towards the screen until they saw the dark magenta spear that was in his hands. It's black bulging veins sporadically moving as if it were alive.
"This is the legacy of my family. This spear is the weapon that we have wielded for generations. My last name is not Strauss, it is…"
~Back to the fight~
"My last name is not Strauss, it is Chulainn!" This made the look of confidence in Riser's eyes die down as he now saw the child in a new light.
'T-This is no ordinary human. This is the current generations Child of Light? This is Cú Chulainn!?' His worry caused a rather crooked grin to make it way onto the usual emotionless face of Edward.
"Oh, is something wrong Lord Riser? Are you afraid of me now? Now that you know that I am not some normal human or is it that you're afraid of the spear in my hands?" He kept spinning the spear as Rias' eyes widened at his complete attitude change.
'That's the demonic spear Gáe Bolg!? I-it truly is a frightening weapon to behold.' Her thoughts were true as she could literally feel the malevolent energy coming off of the weapon as it was soon pointed at the blonde devil.
"Now then, I'm not going to kill you I'm probably just gonna rip your arm or your leg off, whichever one gets pierced first. That should take you out of the game due to the blood loss you are about to receive." With that he brought back his spear and shoved it forward causing the spearhead to shoot off towards Riser almost as if it were truly alive. The pole that it seemed connected to seemed fleshy and a bright pink as if it was actual flesh underneath a layer of magenta skin.
Riser wasn't going to let this human best him. Being this generations Cú Chulainn or not he is still human. He flew to the side as the spear passed by him only for it to bend and continue its chase. This made Riser slightly scared, he didn't know about the true capabilities of this weapon. Truly, no one knew of its capabilities because that spear was never made in the Underworld, it was made by that bloody Celtic witch. But, due to his lack of focus the bending spear was able to cut his cheek before he moved again to avoid it getting his arm.
He brought his hand up to his cheek only to see that the cut wasn't healing at all. This infuriated the Phenex to no ends and it should be impossible! 'How can this human have something that can cause me, ME! An immortal phoenix not to heal!?' This thought however would be his downfall and the last for this Rating Game as the tip of Gáe Bolg pierced his right shoulder. Before the Phenex scion could pull it out multiple spikes came off of the spear and jutted out of his shoulder securing its hold on him. This however caused Riser to scream out in pain as he kept on trying to pull it off only to hear a sickening ripping sound as he felt the spikes were gone. Yet, a whole new pain appeared as he then realized that his right arm was gone. The blood was literally shooting out of the open wound in massive volumes that the scion's eyes were beginning to lose their color.
"How… can this… be possible." With that Riser and his arm disappeared with Rias, Issei, and Asia looking at the ravenette in complete shock.
[L-Lord Riser has r-retired. The winner of the match is Lady Rias.] The voice of Grayfia seemed shocked as well by what had just occurred that it was able to make her stutter slightly.
~Line Break: Viewing Room~
All of the Devils were shocked as they just looked at the one child who just defeated the one that was most likely to win. Riser's father was infuriated as Rias' father was rather intrigued at this young child. "I break the curse on the body of Lord Riser Phenex." The voice of the child spoke as they looked at him curiously.
"Did he just say… curse?" Lady Phenex asked as she looked at the screen. Serafall nodded her head with a rather wide grin. "Yes, he did say curse because that is what the spear Gáe Bolg is, a cursed demonic spear. With the curse being that any wound made will not close unless the one that applied it releases the curse or if the spear is broken."
Everyone just looked at the current Leviathan with curiosity as she had explained this. "Sera, how is it that you know so much about this spear and we don't?" Sirzechs asked his oldest friend and close colleague with high suspicion.
The Leviathan looked at them all with a rather cheerful look on her face. "Oh, it's because that boy gave me permission to put him into my peerage if he dies a little bit close to a year now. I thought that I told you about him Zechsy." Everyone looks at her with wide eyes as they look at the boy with shocked eyes. "I'm just curious, but what piece would you use on him if he does die Lady Leviathan?" Grayfia asked the Satan in her stoic voice causing the ravenette to pull out a [Queen] piece, though it looks rather strange.
"A m-mutation [Queen] piece!? Don't you think that that is a little too much Lady Leviathan!?" Lady Gremory asked as Serafall shook her head. "No, I tried but the rest of my pieces wouldn't react to him, but the only one that reacted was this one. So, when he dies he will be mine." The rest of the Devils looked back at the boy with slight worry, because if he did become a Devil his strength would be incredible.
~Line Break: Back in the ORC~
Rias and Edward were the only ones left in the club room as the former was barely even injured while the latter wasn't even injured at all. Rias looked at him with narrowed eyes as she looked at the now revealed legacy. "So, your Cú Chulainn?" Edward merely nodded his head as the previous emotions that were shown before were gone and the blank look was back.
"Yes, but my mother wanted my name to be Edward and my father couldn't really do anything about her decision, so he relented to it. However, after I was born she left us and my father got married to the current Fergus mac Róich at the time. My step-mother loved me as if I was her own child and wanted me to be the next Fergus, but I couldn't since I wasn't even her child. Yet, as I grew older I realized that I wasn't like most of the other kids as I couldn't understand their emotions. Sure I could feel the same things they did, but I could never truly understand them."
Rias looked at her supposed friend as he seemed to be telling his life story, so she didn't want to interrupt him. "When I was five I was introduced to three children, their names were Fiona, Dedric, and Menoly. They were also descendants of Fionn mac Cumhaill, Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, and Queen Medb of Connacht respectively. We became the best of friends as we did almost everything together, but when we turned thirteen Menoly and I began to form feelings for each other. And that was exactly what my family and her's wanted. A bond to be formed that would cause the old squabble between our families to stop and finally be done with. Menoly and I never truly bothered with it as we continued to love each other. Turns out that Fiona and Dedric fell in love as well much to both of their families surprise, but it was true love as Dedric never got the accursed love spot that made his family famous."
As he finished that thought a small ghost of a smile appeared on his lips as he remembered his girlfriend and friends. That is until the look of happiness died off and the lifeless look took its place once more. "But, when I turned fifteen we were all hanging out at Menoly's place when I decided I would go to the kitchen and make some snacks for us. What I didn't know was that my criminal of a step-uncle was spotted in the nearby vicinity. What shocked me was that when I came back Dedric's spears were impaled into his heart same as Fiona with her own, but she was stripped naked and her lower half was bleeding. That is when I saw HIM, he was raping my dead girlfriend's corpse with a sadistic grin on his face saying that her family was just a group of little sluts as he climaxed into her corpse. That is when I felt something shatter inside of me as I realized that my Sacred Gear, [Gear Snatcher] had appeared on my arm."
"Wait," Rias stopped him as the dead eyes of the Chulainn looked at the heiress. "What do you mean [Gear Snatcher], I thought you said that your Sacred Gear was [Jade Archery]?"
"I will explain that to you later Miss Gremory." He looked back down at the ground. "[Gear Snatcher] had appeared because it had now achieved its Balance Breaker from the scene I had just witnessed. It is called [Soul Stealer] and with it I ripped the soul out of that monster's body and put it through literal hell. That was until the elder council wanted to put him on trial. So, I put his soul back into his body and he began to thrash around in fear before he realized that he was before the council. He tried to plead that he didn't do it, but with my eye witness account he was charged with murder and rape and was sent to Dun Scaith to be tortured. Yet, the damage was done and I couldn't feel anything after that no matter what my parents tried to do. Until I finally met my real mother. She was different to say the least though she was nice enough to try and comfort me. She was the one who told me to travel the world and try to forget about what had happened. So, I did and before I left my step-mother told me that the reason that her brother was like that was probably because he wasn't the first child and couldn't become Fergus mac Róich. That and she was finally pregnant with my little sister that I have yet to meet."
"So, have you ever gotten over the pain of that loss?" The concerned voice of Rias asked as he slowly shook his head. "No, I haven't gotten over it at all, but that loss made me capable of wielding one of our ancient weapons. I took it with me of course and I traveled for the next year until I settled down here with Sebastian and the others who I made when I was fourteen."
With that said he stood up and walked towards the door before turning his head slightly. "You are now the third person to know my story outside of my servants and family back home in Ireland. Now if you want to you chould go to that infirmary that your servants are being held in and check up on them while I need to go home and grab something. Afterwards I can go to the hospital and collect my end of the wager."
~Line Break: Hospital~
Rias had just finished checking up on Akeno, Kiba, Koneko, and Issei. They were all doing great thanks to the help of Asia's [Twilight Healing]. As the red head walked out of the room containing her servants she saw the black hair of Edward walk into the room with Riser and his peerage in it while carrying a briefcase. With great curiosity she followed the human as he entered the room of the Phenex scion.
"What do you want human!?" The voice of Karlamine yelled as Edward had walked into the room. He looked over at the beds containing Marion, Burent, and Shuriya with small worry showing in his eyes. "Are you three okay? I did shoot you along with Lady Yubelluna with an arrow of holy energy after all."
The three nodded their heads as the latter merely scoffed as she grasped her chest in slight pain. With small worry the metal stinger gauntlet of [Gear Snatcher] appeared on the Chulainn's right arm. As he looked at the three orbs on the Sacred Gear he pressed the multicolored one as an armored glove replaced the current one on his hand. He walked over to the [Queen] and held his hand over her chest. "Glow 2: Healer's Mercy." A piece of the Sacred Gear glowed a bright yellow as the pain in Yubelluna's chest completely disappeared. He dispelled the Sacred Gear and bowed in apology to the older woman. "I truly am sorry for shooting you with that arrow Lady Yubelluna, but I think that Lord Riser knows why I am here."
This caused his peerage to stare at there master as he stared at the case in the boy's hand. "Yes, I know why you are here boy, but what is in that case you are holding? I wish to see its contents."
The boy nodded his head as he placed the case on a table and opened it before leaning it upwards to show to Riser and his peerage. Multiple gasps could be heard as they all stared at what was inside the case: pure black Evil Pieces. "I obtained these from the lair of a Stray Devil after I killed it though I had no idea what they were until I was approached by a Devil who asked me to be in their peerage. I respectfully declined and went on my way. Now then Lord Riser I believe you owe me a [Bishop], a [Knight], a [Rook], and four [Pawns]."
The girls looked at him with a sense of dread while some of them had eyes filled with hope. "Go ahead and choose who you want and get out of my sight." He said with great distaste as he grabbed his right arm in pain.
With a nod of his head he walked over to Xuelen and held out his hand as she took it with some reluctance as she looked over at the worried eyes of Nel and Ile. Edward saw this and walked over to the two [Pawns] with a small smile. "Do not worry, little ones, I would never think of separating you from the the one that you see as your mother figure."
The three women looked at him with a shocked look before Xuelen began to cry slightly and took the two sniffling girls into her arms. He looked at the happy scene before he walked over to Mihae who automatically took his hand without a second thought. Karlamine scoffed at this before looking him dead in the eyes. "There is no way in hell that me or Siris are going to join you at all! For we are the loyal [Knights] of Lord Riser, right Siris!?"
However, the black haired woman didn't answer her as she stood up and walked over to the human's side shocking Karlamine. "Siris, why?"
"One of us has to go with him and Lord Riser promised him a [Knight]. You are too loyal to not go with him so I am the most logical choice." Siris stated as she looked over at her disappointed friend.
Karlamine looked back at Edward with a rather scary look as he didn't even react at all. "Then who is going to be the other two [Pawns]?"
He pointed over at the two nekomata as their eyes widened in surprise and were about to rebuke before Edward said something. "All the fish and naps that you could ever dream." This changed their minds instantly as they both got out of their beds and walked behind him. With the pieces chosen Edward places the respective pieces from his case on the table right next to Riser only for them to gain a small internal flame signifying that they were now his.
"Thank you Lord Riser and just to let you know if you are to go into another Rating Game you may still use them if you have not found anyone to replace them soon." With that his light green magic circle appeared and took them to his house.
Once they were there six people stood in front of them bowing as they said. "Welcome home Master and Mistresses."
Sebastian stood up and walked forward to introduce himself. "My name is Sebastian Michaelis and I am the head butler of the manor. The ones behind me are Shinra, Lulu, Tsubaki Nakatsukasa, Maka Albarn, and Ox Ford." The respective servants either waved their hands or bowed respectfully.
"Now then, they will get you settled in and afterwards I will introduce you to the other occupants of my home." With that he turned to face the twins and glance at them thoughtfully. "Would you two like to share a room or have separate ones?"
Ni and Li's eyes widened at that before they came to an instantaneous agreement. "Separate rooms please!"
Edward nodded his head before he turned to the other set of twins who were hugging their mother figure's legs tightly. "Would you like for them to sleep with you in your room Miss Xuelen?"
The [Rook] nodded her head before looking over at the young man. "Yes, I would like that and if you want you can just call me Xuelen."
With a firm nod of his head he motioned for five of his servants to take them to their new rooms as Sebastian stayed behind. "Master, this arrived for you today." He hands him an envelope and while he looks it over the butler begins to speak again. "It's from your father, he is asking for you to return to Ireland and visit for a week at most. He wants you to meet your baby sister and wants to hear about what all has happened during your travels."
The ravenette reopens the envelope and sees the letter that has two two-way tickets in it. He looks back up at his butler with a light smile on his face. "Yes, I will be going back and would you like to come with me Sebastian?"
"It would be a privilege and an honor to go back to the place of my creation. Also, I got a call from Miss Gremory asking if you wanted to come to a celebration that she and her servants are holding for winning?" Bringing his hand outwards his light green magic circle formed on the ground as it flashed revealing the Gremory group looking confused.
"Ummm, do you need something Edward?" Issei asked causing Akeno to chuckle lightly. "Ufufufufu, maybe he wants to hold our little celebration here. Am I right Mr. Strauss?"
"You are, actually, correct Miss Himejima, but my last name is Chulainn, so please all of you use that when we are in private please." With a firm nod of all their heads they began to set up for their small celebration. As the former members of Riser's peerage and the three Fallen Angels came back downstairs to see what was going on they looked at the small celebration that the Gremory group had decided to put on.
With nothing better to do Dohnaseek, Kalawarner, and Mittelt joined in on the festivities while the other Devils just stood back at the refreshment table and ate some food. They felt as if they joined that they would just ruin their joyous mood. This was a happy time for the Gremory group as the marriage contract was gone and Rias was now free to choose who she wanted to marry. With a quick glance she caught Issei in the corner of her eye laughing and having fun. 'Yes, this was certainly for the best.' She thought with a small smile as she gazed at HER beloved [Pawn].

Sacred Gear:
Gear Snatcher: [Gear Snatcher] is a Sacred Gear with the ability to not only take a Sacred Gear, but lock, steal, and transfer it as well.
It's looks are rather standard nothing really to look at. Just a thin, segmented metal gauntlet with the area around the hand uncovered with a large needle like protrusion on the middle finger. (Think of Suzumebachi's Shikai from Bleach) Yet, on all of the segments there are small spherical indentions lined up on it.
Lock- This ability is able to disable a Sacred Gear for an undetermined amount of time based on the users connection to it.
Take- This ability allows the wielder to take another's Sacred Gear for an undetermined amount of time. The time that it is taken is determined by the users connection to it.
Steal- This ability makes it possible to steal the Sacred Gear of another with no need to return it at all and use it for themselves. It becomes more likely the weaker the connection between a Sacred Gear and the user is. However, a stolen Sacred Gear is not able to achieve Balance Breaker, no matter what is done.
Transfer- This ability is able to transfer a stolen Sacred Gear to another or the one that was robbed of the Gear in question. A transferred Sacred Gear can obtain Balance Breaker once a secure connection is made with its new user.
Jade Archery: The Sacred Gear [Jade Archery] is a bow type with a jade green color. The user is able to make arrows of the different elements and abilities with their imagination. (Jade Archery is a fake Sacred Gear created by Ray O'Neill in their fanfic "A Fake Hero", I did not create it he did. Also, check out that story it is very good.)
Other Abilities/Tools:
Gáe Bolg: The demonic spear of the original Cú Chulainn, a mighty weapon passed down with each generation. The spear itself is self-aware and knows what goes on around it. With it being a demonic spear it has the peculiar ability to extend, bend, and twist so it can pierce and consume the hearts of its enemies. While it is waiting for its next wielder it is kept in land of shadows, Dun Scaith, the domain of the immortal teacher, Scáthach.
Gáe Bolg itself looks like a normal spear, unless a normal spear was a dark magenta with pulsing veins of black running down its length. Underneath the tip of the spear there are small barbs, for when it pierces an opponent's body the barbs will extend making it so that if the spear is yanked out a large chunk of flesh will be taken with it. That or the heart is pierced so many times that it makes sure the enemy is dead.
So, what did you people reading this think of it? Was it good, bad, did you love it? What did you think of Edward's backstory? Was that sad or did you see it coming? With these questions asked, that you most certainly don't have to answer, I will see all of you awesome people in the next chapter.
