"Ne , mi-chan , why wont you play with me?" A 15 year old blonde haired girl with blue green eyes , her hair tied in pigtails with a red ribbon, with A cup borderline B cup breast wearing a yellow sundress with fox ears and five tails Questioned a 15 year old michael, pouting to add more effect which michael countered by not looking at her. He already knew that if he looked at her , then he would not be able to resist her .
"Cause i'm tired , aki-chan " Michael replied , he already played with her for the first half of the day in the garden of her family's house . He needed to prepare for his mission tonight so he can leave earlier ,the life of a stray hunter was always busy , hunting strays where they appeared , and it did not help that they are scattered everywhere.
"Mou ,You Meanie " Akira yoko said , they already knew each other for five years and every time she know he's going leave , she would always cling to him for hours or she would play with him nonstop for hours before or after the mission, tiring him enough to stay for another day. She also knows what a stray devils are and when michael tried to make her prove if she knew what is a stray really is ,all she said was 'Icky yucky smelly ugly evil monsters' earning a sweatdrop from michael. He knew she's a childish person and he knew he should have expected that from her but still , her childishness never failed to surprise him.
"Ne, mi-chan, can i ask you something?" She said and michael looked at her.
"Sure" He replied , michael was sure that whatever she was asking was something minor or she would ask him to stay longer with her .
"When i'm mature enough and when the mating season comes , Can you be my mate?" That was not something he expected. Asking him to be her mate? , What was on her mind anyway?.
"Why me?" He asked , this was something to be taken seriously since when they choose someone as their mate , they will be bound to their chosen one until their death and he does not want her to bound herself to him just because her childish mind wanted to.
"You're nice , sometimes a meanie And you're my best friend!, This way we will be always together!" Michael just sighed at her reasoning . Its just like her to do something like this suddenly.
"Are You sure ? ,Your mate is supposed to be your wife. Its like marriage in human tradition" Michael asked , sure there are other clans out there that wants the power of a kitsune in their hands and probably she has tons of marriage proposals from other clans but him , a mid class devil ,to be her mate ? . That's a ridiculous idea from her.
Then again its akira he's talking about , its just like her to do something like that.
"Yes" She replied , her eyes closed while nodding.
"Think about this carefully aki-chan" Michael said , Trying to make her think carefully.
"Don't wanna" She replied stubbornly.
"*Sigh* are you sure?"
"Yes"
"Really sure?"
"Yes"
"Really really sure?"
"Yes"
"You're not going to change your mind?"
"Yes" Then an evil idea came to his mind , since he knew she's not going to change her mind , he might as well have some fun .
"Will you marry me?" He asked and she fell for the trap.
"Yes" Before her eyes widened as the question registered in her mind. Michael only laughed at her expense.
"W-W-W-What!?" Akira asked , blushing as well as stuttering at the unexpected turn of events. Then an equally evil idea came to her mind 'You want to play like that huh ? , Then its my turn!' She thought. Akira may be a childish person but she's also a smart person . Michael mentioned once that she's similar to serafall leviathan , Childish when free and serious when needed . Then she kissed him.
On the lips.
Michael tried to escape but she just held his head and embraced him by the neck . After she pulled back , its michael's turn to stutter and blush and she only laughed at her successful revenge.
"W-W-W-W-What was that for!?" Michael exclaimed.
"Now you're my husband and im your wife!" She said while hugging him and michael's jaw dropped. He's just kidding when he proposed and she turned it against him.
"ITS NOT LIKE THAT!" He exclaimed.
"EHH! But i saw it in the movies! Its always the last part of the marriage!"
And that started the 4 hour debate for the proper marriage ceremony.
Michael's bedroom
5:00 AM
"That particular argument . . . . Akira always know how to surprise me" Michael said as he woke up and left his bed to prepare or the day and after that he decided to go downstairs.
"Ne , via-nee-chan can i have more cookies?" He heard Shiro ask 'She's up already?' michael thought to himself.
"Of course you can" Silvia replied , Serving more cookies for shiro.
"Good morning !. Shiro, you're up already?" Michael asked as he entered the dining room . The only ones there are Shiro , Yukihime and Sylvia.
"Onii-chan! , good morning!" Shiro greeted cheerfully.
"Good morning -Michael-sama" Sylvia and Yukihme replied in unison while michael sat at the chair in front of shiro.
"So shiro , Why are you up so early?" Michael asked
"Because *Crunch* i want to *Munch* Learn that *Munch* Huge fireball *Munch* thingy" She answered while eating , making michael chuckle.
"I said i will teach you if i find a place where i can train you safely on preforming the foxfire version sinister meteor right?" Michael said while also eating the same cookies as shiro. Shiro only nodded at him.
After michael finished his breakfast , he changed his clothes and wore the kuoh academy uniform for boys, Then he started to collect his archery equipment and prepared to leave.
"Well I should train my archery a little bit , so ill be heading to the forest near kuoh " Michael said , activating the Gremory magic circle to go to the forest .
Kuoh academy
Forest near kuoh
6:30 AM (ill just assume that classes starts at seven)
Michael started to set up his equipments and began his target practice. Every time his arrow hits the bull's eye , he will take three steps backwards to increase the difficulty of training . He discarded his eye patch that he use to cover his injured eye since his right eye was healed already .
"Ara? Training so early in the morning." Akeno said as she watched michael's archery training . Michael just ignored her presence and continued to strike the target board while increasing his firing speed until the bull's eye was just a hole on the board.
"Hmm ,The time's near already? well , its time to clean the mess " Michael said before he started to collect the arrows and burned the target board.
"So ,Does buchou need anything from me?" Michael asked Akeno , who just nodded.
"Yes , she said that there's a club meeting later after the classes " Akeno said as michael packed his bow and arrows inside a bag and proceeded to go towards the academy.
"Tell her that i will attend the meeting this time since my mission here is already finished and i already sent the report for it to the maou" Michael said as he threw an object covered in a red cloth, Catching it , Akeno deduced that it was some sort of liquid since the container is a vial and decided to open it and what she saw was a vial full of phenex tears.
"Hai, See you . . ." She said only to notice that michael had left her alone and decided to go to the class by himself.
"Ara ara , he's certainly fast" She mused , Still looking at the vial of phenex tears in her hands . Then she saw a letter at the vial that she did not notice earlier.
"Think of this as a gift from me - Michael" 'To give something like this as a gift, his mission must have high rewards' She thought , walking towards the academy , She still need to attend her class after all.
"Ufufufu~ he forgot that we are in the same class" Akeno mused to herself as she entered the academy.
Kuoh Academy
Canteen
12:00 NN
With his chicken sandwich and his bento containing a lot of takoyaki - Courtesy of sylvia - on his hand , he decided that the canteen is a little too noisy for his liking and decided to eat at the forest near kuoh to have his peaceful lunch.
"*Sigh* this is more like it , much less noise and a relaxing surrounding is a lot better than the canteen's noisy atmosphere" Michael mused and the moon marked gem appeared on his arm , signifying the appearance of Tsukihime.
"Mic-kun, Why do you like this place s much?" She asked as michael started to eat his sandwich while she started to eat his takoyaki.
"Its much more quiet here that the canteen and im more comfortable here" He answered while eating his lunch. Koneko suddenly walked towards their place and sat in front of him. Michael just nodded at her which she returned with a nod of her own.
"So Neko-chan , Need something from me or you just want to eat with us?" Michael asked Koneko.
"Both" She replied and michael raised an eyebrow at her answer ." Go ahead and ask" Michael said and koneko just showed the necklace he gave her as a gift.
"What are the abilities this necklace grants the user?" Koneko asked and Tsukihime just watched them .
"Wear it and see for your self" Michael said and koneko nodded , wearing the necklace then michael suddenly used a low level fire spell at her but the eyes of the phoenix necklace glowed a little , canceling the flames , koneko just stared at the necklace in surprise. 'So the necklace grants protection against flames' she thought.
"That necklace's primary ability is to grant protection against flames to the wearer . As far as i know , That necklace has three abilities . As for the remaining two, Well you can figure it out on your own" Michael said "Its abilities is based on the legendary phoenix so take care of that and Many will try to take that from you if they know that you have it, its a extremely rare item so please keep that on you at all times. Well that's what i will say for now" he finished , Watching as koneko nodded and hid the necklace beneath her clothes so it was hidden from view.
"So do you like my gift?" Michael asked and koneko nodded , having an artifact that is based on one of the legendary creatures as a gift is a very nice present for someone.
"Glad that you like it" Michael said , smiling to himself.'I forgot , he's a phoenix' Koneko thought as she wondered on how he can get a extremely rare item like this and the conversation ended in a comfortable silence.

Old School Building
Occult research club
6:00 PM
When michael entered the room , he just sat on the couch next to koneko and began creating different shapes of ice on his palm to pass the time while koneko ate her sweets. 'Yuuto-san and Hyodou-san are still not here' Michael thought , seeing as koneko and him are the only person in the room while rias is stil in the shower and akeno is probably in the kitchen if the smell is anything to go by.
"Ara ,ara ,so you're here , i did not thanked you for the gift earlier right?" Akeno asked as she entered the room with snacks and tea for everyone.
"Don't mention it " He replied as kiba and issei entered the room.
"So , what is this meeting is about?" Michael asked and akeno answered.
"Just about you starting your job of handing out fliers and issei-kun's contracts" Akeno said
"You still did'nt hand out fliers?" Issei asked , wondering why michael did not hand out his fliers.
"Michael-kun is a stray hunter of the underworld so he does not have the time to fulfill the request of the clients , much less hand out the fliers" Akeno answered for him
"Hmm , So Hyodou-san , can i see your sacred gear?" Michael asked. 'Most kings add humans with sacred gears or powerful abilities as a member of their peerage so , show me what kind of sacred gear do you have , Hyodou-san' Michael thought as issei showed him his sacred gear.
"A red gauntlet with a Green gem on it huh , Well it seems like a twice critical but at the same time its not . Well do you know what abilities it has?" Michael asked and issei nodded.
"Hai , They said it was supposed to double my power for a short period of time" Issei answered and michael nodded.
"Well since you showed yours , then i should show mine " Michael said before he activated his own sacred gear , the five gems appearing on his arm and raising it so issei can see it.
"Sempai , What are your sacred gear's abilities?" Issei asked , wondering what abilities michael's sacred gear does have.
"You see this five gems?" He nodded "Each gem represents different spirits with different abilities and weapon forms , I call them gears since its a fitting name with their ability to transform into a weapon" Michael explained making issei nod.
"Spirits as in ghosts?" Issei asked.
"Yes , Souls of previously dead sentinent beings can be resurrected using this sacred gear in exchange of their servitude, you can say that it is similar to evil pieces , only that the race of the resurrected doesn't change " Issei nodded , ignoring the shiver that randown his spine.
"Can you demonstrate its abilities , Im just curious about it , and why is the fifth gem it is blank ?" Rias asked as she entered the room.
"Hmm , i thought you saw it already?" Michael said .
"Actually , im also curious about it" Kiba said and michael looked at him.
"Yuuto-san? ,*Sigh* Fine , just keep Hyodou-san in line or he might get injured " Michael said and four of the gems glowed and a sixth one appeared on the top of his right hand.
[REVEAL!]
Four different colored magic circles lit up around him .Rias already knew who was going out from it while the others watched silently.
"Prepare yourself , Hyodou-san , here they come" Michael said and issei nodded seriously.
On the yellow magic circle with a full moon on the center , Tsukihime came out in her usual loose kimono revealing a lot of cleavage. She just smiled and waved at them.
On the sky blue magic circle with a snowflake on the center , Yukihime came out , wearing her white kimono with blue snowflake decorations on it. She just bowed and walked behimd michael.
On the crimson magic circle with a crescent moon on the center , Kuroi hana came out , wearing her gothic lolita clothing that looks like her breast will pop out if she moved a little bit too fast , making issei drool at her . She just winked and stood to the right of michael , hugging his right arm with michael face palming and issei crying with manly tears.
On the white magic circle with a three tailed fox on a center , Shiroi hana came out , Wearing her white blouse with her three tails waving behind her . She just sat beside koneko and akeno gave her cookies and she repled with 'thanks' and started eating.
"YOU HAVE A HAREM!" Issei shouted and a snowball hit his face . He just looked at yukihime who has her arm outstreched and she pointed at shiro who was covering her fox ears because of issei's outburst.
"Kitsune's have sensitive senses so please don't shout when she's present" Tsukihime said while Shiro glares at issei. Michael just chuckled.
"Ehehe , Sorry " Issei said , his attention redirected at the cute kid in front of him.
Shiro's glare intensified , but not threatening . It just made her a lot more cuter.
"What do you mean by 'You have a harem' ?" Michael asked and kiba answered for him.
"Actually ,Hyodou-san's dream is to become a harem king" Kiba said and michael just sat on the couch in front of koneko while kuro sat on his lap.
"Harem king? , I know a few devils with a harem but a harem king? what was that supposed to mean?" Michael asked , confused 'if i put it litterally , then it would mean that he wants to have the largest harem ' Michael thought.
"So your sacred gear is similar to the demon weapons of soul eater " Rias said making those who heard her sweatdrop.
"That's the second time you used an anime reference to my abilities, Buchou" Michael said "It looks like that Buchou has a lot of knowlege about anime , maybe she's an otaku?" Michael mused to himself.
"Ufufufu~~ that's right michael-kun , buchou is a otaku at heart" Akeno said.
"Akeno!"
"Please introduce youself girls" Michael said and one by one they introduced themselves to each other .
"I'm tsukihime and i'm a moon priestess , Pleased to meet you all" Tsukihime said with a bow and blood started to drip from issei's nose from the 'view' he was seeing.
"I'm yukihime , a yuki-onna , its a pleasure meeting you" Yukihime said politely.
"I'm kuroi hana , and i'm a vampire , Nice to meet you all" She said with a wink 'I swear she's more like a succubus than a vampire' Michael thought.
"A real vampire!?" Issei shouted and shiro shot a fireball towards his butt making him run around in circles .
"Too loud" Shiro said, covering her fox ears with her hands.
"Vampires are real you know " Michael said and kuro bit his neck and started to drink his blood to prove his statement. Issei just stared dumbly , trying to register the information in his mind.
"Im Shiroi hana , im a three tailed kitsune youkai , nice to meet you all" Shiro said with a bow before she returned to her buisness with her cookies.
"Im kiba yuuto , a devil and buchou's knight , its nice to meet you too " Kiba said and shook hands with tsukihime .
"Koneko toujou , Buchou's Rook , nice to meet you" Koneko said with a bow.
"Akeno himejima , Buchou's queen , Pleased to meet you all" she said then bowed.
"Issei Hyodou , buchou's pawn , pleasure meeting you " Issei said while shiro ignored him.
"Im Rias Gremory , Heir to the gremory clan and this peerage's king , nice to meet you all " She said as she and tsukihime shook their hands.
"So now that i already demonstrated my sacred gear's abilities , Can we start the meeting" Michael said as kuro was done drinking his blood but did not let go of him , She just hugged him by his neck and made herself comfortable . '*sigh* She's always the most affectionate one among my partners' Michael thought .
"Teach me your ways! ,Sempai! -Gah! " Issei shouted and earned himself another fireball to the butt as shiro covered her fox ears again.
"Too loud , please keep quiet or i will burn you, Stranger-san" Shiro said , annoyed by issei's shouting.
"*Sigh* Please start the meeting buchou" Michael said.
"Ok So Michael, are you ready to fulfill your duties as a pawn of my peerage?" Rias asked and michael nodded and handed her a letter , curious at the contents , she started to read it and she was surprised , but it also caused her to sweatdrop .
Dear Michael,
Good job as always , the reward for the mission will be transferred to your account and the items will be delivered via magic circle, and also now that you're a part of my ria-tan's peerage i expect you to take care of my ria-tan or else. . . . .
And finally , since you are a member of my ria-tan's peerage , as our agreement says that if you joined someone's peerge then YOU'RE FIRED! that's all.
Your former king ,
Sirzech Lucifer
Rias's sweatdrop grew larger every second that she read the letter but decided to go into buisness first.
"Im prepared so where are the fliers?" Michael asked and she gave him his own share of fliers .
"I take it you already have the mark on your hand?" Rias asked while the others were reading the letter with their jaws dropping at the last part.
"Mark it again just to be sure " Michael said and outstreched his left palm as and rias marked it with the gremory symbol.
"Why you did'nt tell me that you're in onii-sama's peerage and what piece are you?" Rias asked after she was done marking him while akeno explained what and who are the yondai maou.
"A lot of devils Would want to recriut a former servant of a maou right ansdi want someone to recuit me without that information in mind. As for my piece , im your brother's former pawn unfortunately , im the weakest of our group" Michael explained and rias nodded 'If he's a member of onii-sama's peerage then he must be at least a high class devil . this will help me greatly against 'him'' Rias thought , thinking of how lucky she was.
"I'll start handing out the fliers" Michael said and his partners returned inside their own respective gems.
"Wait!" Issei said.
"Hmm? What is it?" Michael asked.
"Akeno-sempai said that if you're a member of a maou's peerage than you must be at least a high class devil in power" Issei said and michael noddded "Do you have your own peerage?" Issei asked .
"Hmm? . . . . Maybe i have ,Goodnight Everyone" He said before he left the room.
Michael summoned his first familiar , a five inch snow fairy with blue wings and sky blue hair wearing a blue version of fairy's common outfit like the ones in the fairy tales . She has blue eyes and her blue butterfly wings glows with a faint blue.
"You called , michael-san?" The snow fairy asked after she bowed to him.
"I have a task for you , shirayuki" Michael said and the fairy nodded . "Can you hand out as many of this fliers as you can?" Michael said and the fairy known as shirayuki nodded with a smile .
"Hai , Just let me put those in my pouch" She said and opened her pouch as a plate sized magic circle lit up on it and michael put his fliers on it , watching as it sank on it . He remembered giving it to her after he enhanced it magically using her dust and his alchemy and he was glad that she's always using it.
"Thanks shirayuki" He said and the fairy nodded and started sneaking the fliers onto the unsuspecting people. He decided to just walk home tonight as the cool wind feels nice in his opinion.
'Somehow i have a feeling that things will get interesting tommorow' He thought as he walked silently on his way home.
After she lectured issei on what to do , rias thought about her first pawn , michael , from what she know about him , he's a little bit lazy , prefers silent or not too much loud environment , has a sacred gear that can do something similar to evil pieces and allows him to wield them as weapons , expert in ice magic , proficient in fire and multiple weapons and he has this strange eye that has a kanji for ice. He was also eager to start his duties as a devil and she didn't know he was a former pawn for her brother but she did not know for how long 'He's like a puzzle with a lot of missing pieces' Rias thought to herself.
"He's certainly eager to start" Rias said with akeno nodding . ' But when did he joined onii-sama's peerage, I already know his peeerage so it must be when i started to attend kuoh' Rias thought , trying to solve her questions regarding michael.
"A Good example" Koneko said and continued to eat her sweets and kiba noddded.
"He's a high class already and he's just our age. That means he has a lot of talent in combat" Kiba said And thought 'Maybe i can spar with him, it will help increase my abilities greatly.'
"But to be a former member of onii-sama's peerage . . . there must be something that caused him to be released" Rias said and the others thought about it but answers didn't came out.
"Maybe you can ask for his records , buchou" Akeno said and rias nodded , that way she can gain information on michael and some of his abilities .
"I will send a request about his recorded information , hopefully he has something that can potentially beat 'him' " Rias said and akeno nodded before rias dismisssed the meeting.
*SLAP!*
That was the noise that michael heard as he entered the club room , it was the sound of issei who got slapped by rias 'What happened while im out?' Michael thought as he watched the events unfold.
"How many times do i have to tell you?, No means no , Forget that nun already , You're a part of the gremory family now" Rias said sternly to issei.
"Then , remove me from your family!" Issei said "That way i can try to save her on my own" issei continued , trying to reason with rias.
"What you're asking for is impossible , Issei" Michael said as he sat beside koneko and nodded towards rias who also nodded back.
"Im only a pawn right ?, and besides there's also michael-san who's more powerful than me so why does it matter if i disappear?" Issei said
"Be Quiet!" Rias said loudly "Do you think that just you are a pawn that you're the weakest piece ?. Just look at michael-kun for example , you seem to forget that he's also a pawn like you before he became a high class devil" Rias said as he pointed at michael, who were watching them silently ,to give an example to issei.
"I believe that i told you before that with evil pieces , the rules are literal." Rias said and realization came in issei's mind.
"The pawn's ability is . . . . ." Issei began and michael continued
"Promotion , the ability to gain the abilities of any pieces aside from the king" Michael said , finishing issei's sentence.
"If the pawn is able to move towards the other side of the board, it can become any piece except the king" Rias eplained then glared at michael for interrupting in their discussion and he just chuckled.
"Are you saying that i can possess the power of the other pieces?" Issei asked rias who nodded then explained further as akeno antered and koneko walked towards her.
"Only if i accept a place as the 'other side of the board' , for example , the church." Rias said as she walked towards issei who was looking at his hands in wonder of what he can become.
"Also keep in mind your sacred gear-" Rias began.
"Can double my power , right? i heard it from . . . .from the fallen angel" Issei said lowly at the end.
"Keep in mind that a sacred gear is activated by the owner's will. Tronger the will, the stronger the gear reacts" Rias said ,placin a hand on issei's shoulder.
"The strength of my will?"
"To put it lightly, its your resolve to do something , the stronger the resolve , the greater the results" Michael said standing up and leaned near the window, still watching them with a smirk on his face as akeno whispered somethig to rias.
"We have a situation , akeno and i are leaving for a short while." Rias said as she and akeno prepared the magic circle
"But buchou , we havent finished-" Issei said but was interrupted by rias.
"But keep in mind that even if you get promoted, a fallen angel isn't that easy to beat alone" Rias said as she teleported with akeno.
"I know it already" Issei whispered and walked towards the door.
"What will you do now?" Michael asked , still leaning near the window.
"I will go , don't try to stop me" Issei said.
"Who said that im going to stop you?" Michael asked while smirking.
"Youll be killed" Kiba said.
"Even if i'm killed, ill let asia escape" Issei countered.
"It seems youre prepared for the worst , though its still hopeless " Kiba said while smiling.
"Shut up will you-" Issei shouted but was surprised at the sight of kiba carrying his sword.
"Ill go along as well" Kiba said.
"You . ." Issei muttered.
"Buchou said that 'even if you get a promotion' right ?" Kiba asked.
"Yeah" Issei answered.
"At that moment , she declared the church as the back of the board or in simple terms, the enemy territorry so to speak" Michael said and issei turned to him only to see him wrapping a belt with two holsters at each side of his waist.
"Then . . " Issei said , realizing what michael is saying.
"And we still have orders to follow you." Kiba said walking towards him followed by koneko and michael who's just finished fixing his partners 'We'll be in for a night stroll around the church , and maybe blow up an entire building or two' Michael thought , allowing shiro and kuro to hear his thoughts with their mental link.
'Onii-sama , kuro-nee-chan explained the basics of sinister meteor to me , do you mind if i try it at the church?' Shiro thought , giddy to test out the new spell she learned.
'After we're finished our business there , then you can start trying. Understood?' Michael asked , and with an enthusiastic 'hai' from shiro , michael focused on issei's mission for the night.
"Koneko-chan and michael-sempai as well?" Issei asked , not believing what kiba was saying.
"We cant let you two go by yourselves" Koneko replied monotously
"She did not order me to follow you but this will be a good battle experience for you so ill tag along , think of me as a back up if things get bad for you three." Michael said , placing the gun forms of shiro on the left holster and kuro on the right.
"Well , lets give them one 'hell' of a night , shall we" Michael said and the group of four (six if you add shiro and kuro) prepared for the battle they will be getting into in a few moments.

Fallen Angel Hideout
Back of the Abandoned Church
Midnight
"This is so boring , and just why do i have to stand guard here?!" Fallen angel millet complained to no one.
"Oh?, What do we have here" She said as a cromson magic circle with the gremory symbol lit up on the forest ground. She jumped down and started to introduced herself just as rias and akeno came out of the said magic circle.
"I'll introduce my self , i'm fallen angel millet" She said with a curtsy.
"Ara ara ,How polite of you" Akeno said with a hand on her cheek.
"Did your master sensed us coming and sent you?" Rias asked calmly. "They seem to be apprehensive about our movements"
"Nope!, they just didn't want any interruptions in the middle of their ritual" millet replied cheerfully.
"Ara , sorry but our friends just went over your master's place just now." Akeno said bluntly and the fallen angel fumed.
"Wait! , Seriously?!" She asked , still not believing akeno.
"Yup! , Right in the front" Akeno replied.
"Dammit! i kept imagining that they will try to sneak up through the back !" She said stomping her feet ." Well ,Does it make a difference?. It doesn't matter how may people interfere, I just need to settle this with you now, Since the two of you are going to be the real problem, right? , *Giggle* Thanks for taking your time to come all the way here" Millet said in a sing song voice.
"It doesn't really matter to us what our friends do" Rias said.
"Huh?"
"I'm not going."
"Soooo, you're just going to abandon them ?" Millet asked.

Fallen Angel Hideout
Front Door
Midnight
"What bad luck , It seems like plenty of priests are gathered as well." Kiba said while hiding behind a tree with issei doing the same and koneko hiding in a bush alongside michael.
"Really?, Thank goodness you three came along "
"Well , we are family and besides , i don't like priests . You can even say that i hate them" Kiba said , his voice sounding hatefull towards the end.
"It seems you have a lot of hatred towards holy beings" Michael mused as he ans koneko stood up.
"I'll go behind , you three go here at the front , that way we can cover more ground and also split up their forces" Michael said and the three nodded then he used the gremory magic circle to teleport to the back of the church.
"Koneko-chan?" Issei said as koneko walked towards the door of the church.
"They,ve surely have noticed us by now" Koneko said as she kicked the door open.
"This is horrible " Issei said as he observed the abandoned church.
"*Clap**Clap**Clap* Hello,hello,hello , we meet again. Oh, how my heart leaps with joy ." Freed said as he walked in front of the three.
"Freed!"
"Priest"
"Shitty Priest"
"I didn't think there would be a devil to meet me twice. After all i am super strong . Usually i kill them all on our first encounter, You know , you're annoying me." He said as he drew his light sword and his exorcist gun." You shitty devils dare to humiliate me!" Freed said with a lick on his gun.
"Where's asia!" Issei demanded
"Oh? that shitty exorcist of a nun, She's down at the ritual right now" Freed replied.
"Well nearby , not that it matters" Freed said as the three prepared for battle.
"Get Crushed" Koneko said as she threw a chair at freed but he only sliced it to protect himself.
"Annoying midget" Freed said and koneko's eye narrowed .
"Midget?" Koneko muttered as she threw the chairs in consecutive manner and freed dodge the chairs aimed at him while shooting his gun as kiba and issei dodged.
"Get out of The way!" Freed shouted as he engages kiba in a swordfight .
"You fight well " Freed said as the two locked swords. " It makes me really want to kill you" Freed said as he aimed his gun at kiba but an icicle knocked the gun from his hand juct as hibe backflipped so he can avoid the bullet. They turned towards yukihime who has her hand outstretched with a magic circle on her palm.
"Im here to assist , as michael-sama ordered" Yukihime said as she stared at freed and shot more ice projectiles towards him
"*Sigh* I Guess he does have good traits other than just his face" Issei said as he just watched freed and kiba fought with their swords.
"Kiba-san is a knight for a reason" Yukihime said as she continued to fire icicle projectiles towards freed who was struggling to dodge the ice and kiba's attacks.
"Shall i show you a bit of my serious side?" Kiba asked as his sword turned pitch black and when their swords clashed , Freed's light sword started to flicker.
"What the shitty hell is this!" Freed exclaimed as is sword got dimmer and dimmer.
"Devils Blade, the blade of darkness that devours the holy energy" Kiba said
"What the shitty hell are you blabbering about!" Freed said as he pushed kiba .
"Hyoudou-san"
"Let's Go"
[Yes sir ,Boost]
"Will you shut up!" Freed said as he aimed towards issei

"So if i killed you , then the others will shrivel up and die?,well then , sounds like my perfect kind of job!" Millet said as she took a pose and a portal opened behind rias and akeno.
"Since when did you get to talk like you're someone important?" Kalawarmer said as she got out of the portal.
"It appears we meet again, gremory" Donaseek said as he also got out of the portal, his wing injuries have healed but his left arm still missing from his one sided battle with michael.
"Your servants have their limits too, you know " Kalawarmer said
"Ara ara , it seems we are all here" Akeno said with a smile and a gremory magic circle lit up on her right , revealing michael who was surprised to see rias and akeno there.
"Well, this is a surprise" Michael said , amused at the turn of events "I know i will see a few fallen here but buchou and akeno-chan? , i certainly did not expect that" He mused but the others heard him.
"Michael, What are you doing here?" Rias asked curiously.
"I separated from them so we can cover more ground with me taking the back route and those three taking the front , this will give Hyodou-san some fighting expeerience" Michael answered as he twirled the white gun (Shiro) on his hands.
"I see , so you decided to leave the major fight with them huh, good thinking" Rias said as michael just nodded and looked towards donaseek.
"YO! , Little crow , how's your left arm ,Wait , you dont have a left arm" Michael said , angering donaseek.
"Blue angel . . . ." Donaseek said with gritted teeth as he glared at michael which he ignored.
"This brat is the blue angel ?, He does not look that much , in fact , he looks like a weak human" Kalawarner said but a spell from michael sealed her fate.
"Devouring Shadow Arts : Imprisonment by the World of Vast Darkness" Michael said as a black magic circle appeared below kalawarner and several tendrils of shadows wrapped around her . She tried to destroy the tendrils using her spear of light bur the shadows only devoured it .
"What kind of spell is this?!" Kalawarner shouted as the tendtrils wrapped around her arms and lower body and a black wall with an upper body of a skeleton looming above it with chains on its hands and the skull looked at kalawarner with its purple mist like eyes.
"That spell is one of my favorite spells i use when i want to captrure something , then sends it to my own pocket dimension where a lot of other prisoners are also there , be aware , in my pocket dimension ,i am the ruler there , my word is the law and you're a prisoner there now so have a nice trip" Michael said as kalawarner was restrained on the wall and the tendrils of dakness started to pull down the wall along with kalawarner.
"Damn you !" Kalawarner shouted and the other fallen tried to free her but failed as she was pulled in the magic cirle and completely dissapeared from their view.
"Wow , that was one impressive spell you have there " Rias praised and michael nodded , ignoring the fallen that are attempting to run but akeno prevented that by forming a barrier around the area.
"It took me years before i mastrered that spell so it's one of my three strongest spells , those three are: a restriction , a barrier , and an area wide attack" Michael replied as he looked towards the fallen angels remaining.
"So what will you do now ?" Michael asked the fallen angels who reponded by taking their battle stances which made michael smirk.
"Just the way i like it" he said as he drew shiro and kuro and took his own battle stance with akeno following his example .

"Promotion: Rook!" Issei said as he took the traits of the rook and charged towards freed , the bullets not even affecting him as it hit his body.
"The rook posses high defence and massive strength and also . . . . .A puch straight from hell!" Issei shouted towards the end as his right fist connected with freed's face , sending him flying towards the altar . Yukihime picked the exorcist gun and froze it inside out , making it unusable for the battle.
"You did horrible things to asia , i feel a lot more better now" Issei said while panting.
"Quit fucking with me you sitty devil!" Freed said ,dual weilding his light swords as he leaped to attack but koneko threw a cabinet at freed , Sensing him back to the altar.
"I wont let my self to be killed by Shitty devils so for now , good bye!" Freed as he threw a light grenade to distract them while he escape.
"I will return to michael-sama, good luck with your mission " Yukihime said her magic circle lit up below her .
"Thaks for the help , yukihime-san" Kiba and issei said and hse nodded in response as she returned inside her gem on michael's sacred gear.
"Let's go ahead while we can " Kiba said as koneko smashed the table covering the entrance to asia's location.

"What are you doing competeng with me in a cosplay battle!" Millet shouted as she noticed akeno in her miko outfit.
"*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* I don't have time for your whining" Michael said as he shot millet using shiro while she dodged
"Tch , there's a barrier so we can't escape and we're outclassed with the blue angel and the gremory here. We're in a huge disadvantage" Donaseek muttered .
"You can't run from me now" Akeno said with lightning sparking on her hands in anticipation.
"I'll interrogate my new prisoner for now , i'll leave you to your fun , akeno-chan" Michael said as he entered his own pocket dimension, leaving rias and akeno with the fallen. with no one but rias noticing the magic circle that caught kalawarner to shrink and hide in rias's shadow.
"So your plan was to kill us first " Donaseek said as he flew away from akeno.
"Yes . We intended to trap and clean you up from the beginning . Michael-kun just made our job easier." Akeno replied.
"Stop messing with us!" Millet shouted
"Why don't you just disappear quietly, Consider yourselves lucky to be still standing" Rias said ,putting her hands on her waist.
"Anything you do will cease to exist if you're unconscious" Donaseek said and rias just stared.

Michael's pocket Dimension
World of Vast Darkness
Kalawarner's prison
Michael's pocket dimension consist of two domes and with the surrounding forest similar to the pet forest , the place was covered in eternal darkness , making the prefect habitat for the creatures of the night.
The two domes are the building he built in the middle of the forest , each one the same size as a football court . One was an armory , which he uses to store the weapons he collected in his missions and travels and the other one is a prison for beasts and other creatures .
Michael walked towards kalawarner's prison and stood in front of her.
"I will ask you some questions any you would answer accordingly" Michael said as he took a look at the chained fallen angel in front of him, Her arms chained above her head and her feet barely touched the ground.
"What makes you think that i will answer!" Kalawarner said with a glare towards michael, Who just ignored the glare.
"You seem to forgot that in this world , i am the ruler , The king , and my words here are the law so if i said that you will be the food of the other beasts here then you'll become their next meal" Michael said while chuckling.
"Then , i will bring the information with me to the grave!" Kalawarner said defiantly.
"Oh ? Who said that im going to kill you , Prison 105 : [Law : Pleasure her body continuously and when her release comes , then shock her with electricity . Repeat the process again and again until the Duration ends] [Duration : Until i return again ] " Michael said as he gave the commands for the law of kalawarner's prison.
"There , let's see how long can you last in my world , and how long can you hold your tongue" Michael said as he left his pocket dimension , leaving the panting and moaning fallen angel as the [Law] began to activate.

Ritual location
"Welcome devils" Raynare said as issei , koneko and kiba entered the place of the ritual "You're late to the party"
"Asia!" Issei shouted when he saw asia chained on a cross with green crack like designs.
"I-issei-san?" Asia said weakly.
"Asia!, im coming right now !" Issei shouted as he sprinted towards asia only to be pulled back by kiba and a spear of light landed where stood as it exploded , sending kiba and issei to the walls.
"Such a happy reunion , its too bad, the ritual's almost over" Raynare said as the cracks on the cross started to glow and asia started to scream.
"What are you planning to do to asia?" Issei muttered as he recovered.
"I get it now , their plan is to steal asia's sacred gear" Kiba said , making issei worried.
"What the hell happens to asia then?!" Issei asked.
"The posessor of sacred gear loses their life" Kiba replied.
"Asia. . .will die?" Issei muttered with wide eyes as twilight healing was extracted from asia.
"Twilight healing, its finally mine , the power that i've been looking for years , in my hands at last" Raynare said as she took the twilght healing .
"With this i will become a supremely powerfull fallen angel, I can finally have revenge on those who have wronged me!." Raenare said in glee as the wilight healong fused with her.
"Gimme a fucking break , you demon!" Issei yelled as he charged and the stray exorcists also charged at him. "I dont have time for you assholes!" Issei said as he parried some of the attacks from the fallen angel. Kiba and koneko started to clear a path for issei to go.
"Thank you!" He said as he run past the exorcists and towards raynare .
"Asia" Issei muttered as he approached the unconsious asia .
"I will give you a reward for coming this far" Raynare said as she snapped her fingers and the chains shattered in response , making asia fall but issei caught her.
"I'm giving that girl to you " Raynare said .
"Give her sacred gear back!" Issei demanded in response.
"Don't be an idiot , im ordered by the higher officials so set this plan out. Sorry , but you two needed to be the proof of my success." She said as a light spaer appeared on her hand "But isn't this ideal?, You'll get to die together" Raynare said as she pointed her spear at issei.
"Hyodou-kun, don't listen to her!" Kiba warned as he parried a light sword from an exorcist.
"You were my first date. . ." Issei muttered.
"A boy who ha not known a womman by heart-*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* " Raynare began only to stop as her spear of light was swallowed by darkness.
"Hyodou-san, Take her away while you have time ,Now!" Michael shouted as he amimed his black pistol (kuro) at raynare who glared at him for intterupting her.
"Michael-san . . ." Issei said.
"Just go and take her away! *BANG* you're wasting your time *BANG* wallowing in pity here !,*BANG* Use that time to save that nun!" Michael said as he shot the exorcists that are going his way. Issei jumped from the altar and started running towards the exit with kiba ,koneko and michael defenig him from attacks. He stopped near the door and looked at the three.
"Go and run, Hyoudou-kun. We'll cover things for you here so go!" Kiba said as slashed an exorcist to the chest and parried an attack from behind. "Just leave it to us"
"Hurry and run" Koneko said as she dodged a slash then kicked an exorcist near her.
"But-" "Don't worry about us , just go!" Michael answered as he kept on shooting raynare , who kept on dodging or she'll get a lot of holes on her body, with shiro and kuro's weapon form.
"Kiba . . .Koneko-chan. . .Michael-sempai. . . .If we make it out of this, promise you'll finally call me issei!, Its a promise ok?! Because we're friends" Issei shouted before he sprinted out of the room , not noticing the smiling faces of koneko and kiba or the smirking face of michael as they fought to hold the exorcists back.
"Who do you think i am huh? , I won't die from something as silly as this , The black flower that signifies death , Kuroi Hana !" Michael ahouted as he activated the first form of kuro (The gaunlet) .
"Let's reduce the filth of this world to ashes , Kuroi Hana!" Michael said as a cicle began to form a cirle on the top of the gauntlet on his left arm .
'Hai!' [RAGE!] Kuro replied as the circle opened up to reveal a slitted crimson eye and the entire gauntlet was covered in black and crimson flames .
"Let the ass kicking begin!" Michael said as he charged at the exorcists , punching them as he passed them by , Sending them burned and flying towards the walls.

"It seems that you have a powerful servant other than the blue angel , but no matter how powerfull, they are no match for raynare-sama" Donaseek said forming a spear in his right hand.
"After all , that boy after raynare sama is just a weak devil" Millet said mockingly " I heard about him from raynare-sama , It was so hilarious "
"Just hearing the story makes my stomach want to burst!" Donaseek exclaimed .
"Im done with dealing with the strays there ,buchou " Michael said as he emerged from the black magic circle that expanded before shattering .'so that's why he didn't deactivate the gate to his pocket dimension , he just compressed it just enough for it to be ignored and hid it on my shadow ,Impressive' Rias thought as she solved the reason on how he was able to return to them with the barrier up.
"I see, any information?" Rias asked.
"Well kiba , koneko and i already cleared the easy pickings , leaving the nudist fallen for issei with the said nudist accomplishing to get the twilight healing and dont worry about the others , they're fine , just tired when i left them there to watch over issei " Michael said while the two fallen angels stiffen at his intevention but was glad that raynare got the sacred gear.
"Thank you" Rias replied as she turned her attention at the fallen angels in front of her.
"Raynare-sama won't be beaten now that-*BANG* *BANG*" Millet said only to be cut off by michael shooting her with shiro's weapon form.
"If you get wounded enough do kill you or knock you out in one strike then the healing powers of the twilight healing is useless so shut up , kiddie crow" Michael said , infuriating millet with the kiddie crow comment.
"Bastard!" She shouted and threw a light spear along with donaseek but a flare of rias's power negated the attack.
"Now , for your punishment for mocking my servants . . . . is death" Rias said as she used her power of destruction to destroy the two fallen angels, leaving nothing but feathers.
"Im going to kiba's location, are you going with me" Rias asked like nothing happened , michael just swaetdropped.
"Im just going to lay on top of that tree for now " Michael said as he flew over the said tree and relaxed.
"Ara , Im going to keep michael-kun accompanied for now" Akeno replied and rias nodded and used the magic circle to go to kiba's location.
"So , when do we leave?" Akeno asked.
"You'll know it when its time" Michael replied.
"How?" Akeno asked
"YOU'RE AN ANGEL - FUCKING FLY!"
"It seems they're done , lets go " Michael said and he jumped down the tree.
"Wait , Can i ask you something?"
"Go ahead"
"What kind of youkai are you?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Just answer the question"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"... I'll answer that question when im ok with it" Michael replied as he used the magic circle to go to issei's location with akeno doing the same. with michael not knowing that those words will be the start of akeno's curiosity on him.
'One day ill learn who you really are and what you really are , michael '

"YOU'RE AN ANGEL - FUCKING FLY!"
"That was for asia " Issei said , panting as he began to fall but kiba caught him.
"You defeated a fallen angel by your own , eh?" Kiba said as he slung issei's arm over his shoulders to support issei to stand.
"Took you long enough , pretty boy" Issei said.
"Buchou tod me not to interfere in your fight" Kiba replied.
"She did?"
"Excactly" Rias said getting their attention. "Because i have faith that you can beat her"
"Buchou?"
"I finished running my errands so i came by only to see kiba and koneko fighting a lot of priests" Rias said as she walked towards issei.
"She saved us"
"Now i feel like an idiot for worrying about you ,Wait a second , michael-sempai is with you when i left right?" Issei asked.
"He helped akeno with the fallen angels outside" Rias replied and Koneko entered the room dragging raynare with her.
"Buchou ,i've brought her just as you requested ." Koneko said , throwing raynare on rias's feet.
"Nice to meet you , fallen angel raynare ," Raynare looked towards rias " I am rias gremory , heir to the gremory clan" Rias said and raynare's eyes widened.
"You're the heir of the gremory clan?!" Raynare said in shock.
"So pleased to make your aquaintance . . . though im sure we won't know each other for much longer . . . and also . . . Your friens who came to greet me , i sent them flying away while one was captured" Rias said dropping some feathers on raynare.
"Sent them flying away?"
"Buchou is known as the crimson haired ruin princess in the undreworld" Kiba explained to issei.
"Though akeno is also known as the lightning priestress " Michael said as he emerged from a magic cirle behind them.
"Looks like i got more than i bargained for my master" Issei said in awe.
"Michael-kun is also known as the blue angel & the stray hunter in the underworld" Akeno said as she emerged from her magic circle.
"Heir of the gremory!" Raynare said , getting their attention.
"Ever since you targeted issei , we got information of a fallen angel plot here in my territorry . If only you didn't interfere with us then i'll let you be" Rias explained.
"Buchou , does this mean you did this for me?" Issei asked.
"Issei , that sacred gear . . . " Rias said , surprised at the new form of issei's sacred gear.
"Yeah , it changed form suddenly" Issei said, looking at his sacred gear.
"Wow , so that's what happened . Fallen angel raynare , Issei's sacred gear isn't a simple twice critical " Rias declared.
"What?" Raynare said.
"It can increase its weilder's powers every ten seconds to the point that even a god could be destroyed , One of the thirteen longinus , The crimson dragon emperor's gauntlet , the boosted gear" Rias said and raynare gritted her teeth.
"The legendary power to destroy a god ,in this boy!" Raynare muttred with gritted teeth.
"Even though it is great , it still needs time to gather the nessescary power to destroy a god ,if it is against somebody who can end the fight in less than ten seconds then this power is useless" Michael said "Though issei has the potential to surpass us someday" Michael mused making issei surprised.
"You simply lost because you undrestimated him" Rias said " And now you will dissappear"
"Ise-kun , help me , i might have said all that but as a fallen angel i have no choice but to do what i did! "
"Yuuma-chan . . ." Issei muttered.
"See? as a proof , i didn't throw this away! you remember don't you? you bought this for me ." Raynare said , showing him her bracelet that he gave to her.
"Why do you still have that?" Issei asked .
"I just couldn't part with it , i mean . . .you gave it" She said with fake tears and smile.
"This is bad , koneko-chan" Kiba said but a hand to their shoulders stopped them , and they turned to michael who just shook his head.
"Don't interfere , he needs closure" Michael said as he watched the events unfold.
"Please save me , ise-kun" Raynare said.
"How far will you go? . . . . Buchou , please do it" Issei said as he turned around .
"For my sweet little pawn . . This is redemption" Rias said as she made a ball of her power of destruction then threw it towards raynare ,killing her and leaving nothing but feathers . Michael picked one of the feathers and hid it in his pocket.
"Let's give this back to her" Rias said as she caught the twilight healing as it falls.
"Yes" Was his only reply.

"Buchou , im sorry , i was so rude to you . . . and you saved my life but still . . . asia . . . i wasn'w able to save asia!" Issei said while crying.
"Its ok , You still don't have the enough experience , that's all. No one blames you ." Rias said
"But . . But . . I . . "
"It may be too soon but there's no harm in trying" Picking up a bishop from her pocket , she asked issei "What do you think is this?" Rias asked.
"A chess piece" Issei answered.
"An evil piece to be precise" Michael said miking issei's eyes widen.
"And a bishop specifically" Akeno said.
"A bishop's strength is in support and magics and this girl's healing powers will be very usefull for us" Rias said as she placed the bishop piecce on her chest.
"Buchou , you mean . ." Issei asked.
"I will reincanate this nun into a devil" Was rias's answer.
I ,Rias Gremory ,Command by my name,
To thee, Asia Argento
To allow thy soul to decend to this earth once more,
To become my devil slave
As your new master , I grant you with a new life!
"Buchou , is asia . . ." Issei asked only to be cut off by rias.
"Be quiet." And they watched as the twilight healing receded in asia's body as she opened her eyes once more.
"Asia!"
"Huh?" Was asia's only reaction.
"I only reincarnated her because i want the power to heal my fellow devils" Rias said.
"Rias Gremory is a big softie" Michael said , Nodding sagely as he did, making akeno and the newly reincarnated asia giggle while kiba and issei chuckled.
Rias's reaction was to whack michael's head with a glare but michael's body shattered into ice shards.
"Wow , to shatter that in one hit . . . .That must hurt" Michael said as he appeared beside issei.
A tick mark appeared on rias's forehead.
Strike one
"Maybe buchou is an amazon"
Strike two
"Or an ogre in disguise?"
Last one
"Maybe a giant"
Game over
"MICHAEL!" Rias shouted as she shot her power of destruction only to miss. The others only laughed at his antics.
"Whoa! Buchou can't handle some teasing!" Michael said . looking at the destruction she made.
"GET BACK HERE!"
"CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!" Michael shouted as he ran with rias chasing after him while the others just sweatdropped at their childish antics
