Welcome to shit hole number fo- I mean welcome to NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA chapter four... I don't really got anything to say... Read at your own risk I guess? I don't know anymore...
After Issei had treated a few of Kiba's major wounds he sat back down and stared up into the night sky, the clouds swirled above him and they crackled with lightning and boomed with thunder. Somewhere in his thoughts he thought to himself that his interaction with Lithuminite was him calling to the night, that or the night calling out to him, his only question was whether he answered it's call of it answered his. Either way the answer would present itself in time.
"Issei!" Issei turned his head to the left and watched as Koneko ran up to him and wrapped her arms around him. "Are you ok?" Koneko backed up and looked over him, he had scars from where Freed stabbed him and was covered in blood.
"Hey that's a little too nice of a greeting, is my ice princess melting?" Issei teased Koneko and she hit him in the shoulder.
"Maybe a little." Koneko turned her head away from him and mumbled just loud enough for him to hear and he chuckled but pat her head. "A-Anyway. What happened?" Koneko asked when she looked over and noticed Kiba unconscious on the ground next to Issei and her. Judging from the surrounding area she knew a fight happened but what confused her was what would have been able to beat both Issei and Kiba.
"When I came here Mr. PrettyBoy was already getting his ass kicked and Freed was the one doing it, he had a holy sword." Issei replied to Koneko as she sat down next to him and checked for wounds that hadn't healed. If the holy sword was what did this to him it should have left bad wounds that would resist healing but she couldn't find a single cut that hadn't healed already.
"Issei! Koneko! You guys alright?" Rias and Asia ran down the alley way to them and Asia immediately started to heal Kiba.
"Yeah, we're fine. Kiba wasn't as lucky though." Issei said as he pointed over at Kiba on the ground.
"As long he's alive that's good enough for me." Rias said with a smile. She feared what might have happened to Kiba but she was glad he was still alive and not dead.
"He should be fine with a week of rest." Asia said as she wiped sweat off her forehead and slumped back against the wall, it took a lot of energy to heal wounds from Holy Swords so it exhausted her faster than healing normal wounds.
Rias teleported back to the house with Kiba and Asia while Koneko walked with Issei.
"Koneko? Why didn't you go with Rias? I don't want you to get soaked in rain water." Issei asked her and she shook her head at him.
"I... Wanted to be with you. Without the others." Koneko replied and Issei smiled.
"Well now's your chance." Issei replied and she smiled as she grabbed his hand and walked slowly with him.
On their walk back to the house they stopped at a noodle stand and ordered a cup of noodles hoping that while they ate the rain might die down but the way things were going it seemed to only get worse. Lightning and thunder booming and crackling every few seconds.
"Hey Issei? I meant to ask you this earlier but it was when we went to search for Kiba so I forgot about it." Koneko said and Issei turned to look at her as he slurped up some of the noodles.
"What did you want to ask?" Issei asked her and she set her chopsticks down and seemed to be uncomfortable for a few seconds before turning to him
"You mentioned that the Module's would reach out to you sometimes right?" Koneko asked while still avoiding eye contact with him.
"Yeah, why? Did something happen?" Issei set his chopsticks down sensing that what Koneko was trying to say was serious and needed his full attention.
"Well earlier I heard a voice coming from my module and it whispered something and after that it felt as if my skin was on fire and it got worse every second I could barely take it anymore when it finally stopped." Koneko replied.
"We should get you back to the hosue immediately." Issei set some money on the table for their meal then grabbed Koneko and started to run back to the house with her.
"Is it really that serious when Modules are involved with something?" Koneko asked and Issei nodded her head.
"Yes. Back when I first had them developed and they were being tested some kid from the human military thought he could force my Module to accept him as a wielder and I guess Lithuminite rejected him because the end result was severe psychological trauma and all the bones in his arm and shoulder shattered. The shock nearly killed him and he's probably still bedridden. Ever since then I've carefully selected those who get to use them." Issei said and Koneko's face paled slightly at hearing this but she tried not to think about what he told her since her module already accepted her.
As soon as Issei unlocked the door to his house he took Koneko down to Azazel's lab to see if anything was wrong with her.
"Koneko I'm going to run some scans on your body, you'll be fine so don't worry about it too much." Issei told Koneko as he handed her a white robe and had her change into it, afterwards he laid her on a table and had Ene run scans on her body.
"Detect anything strange?" Issei asked and Ene shook her head.
"There's an odd influx in brain activity suggesting that she learned something, odd. And her DNA seems to be taking on an evolved form which probably has to do with being a Devil Nekomata mix but other than that no- wait right below her right breast there's an odd increase in heat of the thermal filters." Ene said as poked koneko right beneath her right breast.
"Koneko can you lift up your robe for a second?" Issei asked her and she blushed but slowly raised it up and right under her side there was a purple writing that's design matched the glowing lines that decorated most Module weapons and armor.
"What is this?" Koneko panicked slightly at seeing the strange mark on her body but Issei put his hands on her shoulder to calm her slightly.
"Calm down, you're fine. It says something, hold on." Issei looked closer at the purple insignia for a minute. "Hmm... Xyltelyx Xev Nil'vale." Issei said.
"What is that?" Ene and Koneko asked at the same time.
"Reaper's consort." Issei replied.
"Consort? As in wife?" Ene asked with a curious tilt of her head.
"Yeah." Issei replied.
"Wha-... Wait I'm getting the same energy reading from you as well. Lift up your shirt." Ene said as her eye flashed at Issei to confirm the origin signature of the energy reading.
Issei lifted up his shirt and there was a mark on his chest with writing.
"You can read this language right?" Ene asked and Issei nodded his head. After the thing with Lithuminite he was able to understand the weird language they used.
"Ixzell Nal' Xyltelyx. Insignia of the Reaper." Issei said. Just as he said that the air distorted and Issei's scythe activated on its own and the red lining pulsed and then darkened.
"Power fluctuations all over the lab!" Ene said as the lights flickered, holopads filled with static and all the machinery in the lab went crazy.
"Origin it and suppress." Issei said and Ene shook her head.
"Nothing's responding." Ene's eye flickered and flashed for a second before she yelled out in pain and clutched her right eye.
"Ene!" Issei knelt down and helped her up and as he did things calmed down and all went back to normal, except for where Issei's scythe was there was a petite girl with long black hair and purple eyes, wearing a gothic maid outfit. The girl did a spin and looked at the cloths.
"Ilnex vexl'tel Vaere flazelx vun'de." She said and Koneko and Ene tilted their heads and stared at the girl.
"Repeat that again?" Ene asked the girl, not being able to understand what she said which was odd since she could understand the most common languages such as English, Japanese, German, French and Spanish, to ancient languages like Old Norse and Sanskrit.
"Ilnex vexl'tel Vaere flazelx vun'de." The girl replied, this time her head tilted in confusion. Had they not heard her the first time.
"She said that human clothes are comfortable." Issei translated and an awkward silence followed. "WAAAAAAAAIT WHAAAAT!? LITHUMINITE!? YOU'RE HUMAN!?" Issei pulled her cheeks and poker her face to make sure he wasn't seeing stuff and he was indeed not seeing things.
"Not human, but I'm taking a human form and stop that!" Lithuminite yelled as she slapped his hands away from her face.
"Issei? Who is this girl?" Issei turned his head and looked over and noticed the menacing aura surrounding Koneko and his face paled slightly.
"Evxel vex'tel Vaere vox'lel tela xelno'kuxma ul'ex Xyltelyx?" Lithuminite said when she noticed Koneko and she walked over to her and stared her up and down for a minute before nodding her head slowly and seemed to be in thought about something.
"What did she say?" Koneko asked and Issei blushed and looked away.
"I-I'd rather not say." Issei turned his head back and Koneko was in his face hissing at him.
"Tell me. Now!" Issei held his hands up in surrender and nodded slowly.
"She said: So you're the devil cat my Reaper fucked that night." Issei said and he watched the blush creep up Koneko's face and she slowly turned her head to Lithuminite and then jumped and tackled her to the ground and pinned her by her shoulders.
"YOU WERE WATCHING! DELETE IT FROM YOUR MEMORY! FORGET WHAT YOU SAW AND SPEAK OF IT TO NO ONE! EVER!" Koneko screamed as they rolled on the ground and fought with each other.
"KEL'VA XEl'NO! BEX LA'VEL!? BEX LA'VEL!?" Lithuminite screamed as she tried to pin Koneko but she rolled them over and held her down as best she could but despite Lithuminite's lithe frame she easily countered Koneko and pulled her arm around behind her back and pushed her down to the floor
Issei sighed then walked over to the two and picked them up by their shirts and held them away from each other.
"Enough." Issei sighed again and sat them back down on the ground. Koneko hissed at Lithuminite who in turn growled back at her.
"Lithuminite can you speak a language they can understand?" Issei asked her and she scoffed.
"Ixnel vel'vadax tey'la?" Lithuminite asked what languages they spoke and Issei sighed.
"Ene understands any language besides your own and the same for Koneko." Issei replied and Lithuminite scoffed again.
"Why must I speak this primitive language? Do they even need to understand me? The Xel'no will understand with time but the Texn'elva doesn't really need to know." Lithuminite said, referring to Koneko and Ene.
"Judging by voice analysis you were referring that to me." Ene said and Lithuminite turned her head to Ene and frowned.
"Don't worry I wasn't insulting you." Lithuminite waved her off and looked back at Issei.
"Please get along." Issei sighed and Lithuminite made a 'Hmph' sound but nodded her head.
"Anyway. The real reason I'm here is to tell you about the crazy cat since you seemed confused. Well, that and I was kinda curious about Ene and the things in this lab." Lithuminite growled toward Koneko who hissed back. "What it means is that Neko-chan over there is Issei's other half, his will be wife to be simple about it." Lithuminte explained and Koneko blushed but smiled. "She has a strong connection to Issei and he has a strong connection to her. Normally only I would be able to have the status of Issei's consort but you've been acknowledged so I can't say anything." Lithuminite sounded irritated at the last bit but seemed to shrug it off.
"Why would only you be able to be Issei's wife?" Ene asked. She still, despite being a tier six A.I. was having trouble piecing this together.
"Isn't it obvious? We're the same." Lithuminite replied and Ene was further confused.
"Issei's a Human, Devil and Dragon mix? You're...? I don't know what you are?" Ene said to Lithuminite who smiled and laughed at her.
"Human? Issei? How amusing, really. Issei's about as human as Ddraig, meaning he's not human at all." Lithuminite said with a laugh at how little they knew about what was going on, though she couldn't exactly blame them, but she still found it quite amusing.
"How do you know about Ddraig?" Issei asked Lithuminite and her face turned sour and her eyes brightened.
"How could I not!? The damn beast snores so loud it's impossible to sleep."
[And your putrid existence encourages me to snore louder.] Ddraig spoke for the first time in a while and he sneered through Issei's now gauntleted arm.
"Putrid existence? Why you EXAD'OGER NAL EXTENSEL VES'DE!" Lithuminite screamed at Issei's gauntlet and Ddraig roared and growled.
[PEL-XCH TO'NELGO UNV'VE!] Ddraig roared back and the two's anger increased as they spoke.
"How dare you use my language like that you lower life form!"
[Lower life form? Look at yourself all high and mighty. In my time your kind would have been incinerated from the universe!]
"Us? Incinerated? Take a look back at history, two Zeyti ago you were all but incinerated by Annihilator Monoliths."
[WATCH YOUR TONGUE YOU DAMNED WITCH!] Ddraig yelled and as he did Issei's gauntlet glowed and against his will his arm moved and it punched Lithuminite across the room and into the wall.
"ENOUGH! BOTH OF YOU!" Issei yelled as he forced his gauntlet to disappear and he ran over to Lithuminite and helped her off the floor.
"I feel like we should leave." Ene said to Koneko who nodded her head. The two watched for a bit as Issei, Lithuminite and Ddraig argued with each other and created a few craters in the ground and walls. After twenty minutes Ddraig went quiet and Lithuminite went back to being in Module form and all was quiet again.
"First Ddraig and now Lithuminite... What next?" Issei said as he walked back over to Koneko and Ene.
"Done?" Ene asked and Issei nodded his head. He hoped they were done arguing but he doubted it would end so fast. From what he heard Lithuminite and Ddraig's species had a bit of dirt between their species and weren't very kind towards towards the other but thankfully he got them to ignore each other.
"I think." Issei replied to her and yawned.
"Your stress levels are elevated, can I do something to help?" Ene asked him and he yawned and walked up to his room.
"Just need some sleep." Issei replied and as soon he entered his room he jumped into his bed and fell asleep. Koneko and Ene following his lead and taking their places on either side of him.
Koneko turned over and stared at the ceiling thinking about what happened earlier and reaching down she put her hand over the purple insignia on her side and felt the warm pulse in response to her touch.
"Koneko, your stress is leaking off onto me and it's hard to sleep. Just relax. Nothing's going to happen, you'll be fine." Issei mumbled to her as he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her into him.
Koneko curled up in his arms and smiled. "Sorry." Koneko mumbled before closing her eyes and going to sleep.

0000(Next day at school)
For first period of school Issei thought it would be only Ene that was transferring into the school but he was surprised when both Ene and Lithuminite showed up
"It's sorta late but we will be having two new transfer students who are coming to study from abroad." The homeroom teacher said as both Ene and Lithuminite walked into the class and wrote their names on the board. Of course the other students caught on to the similarities of Issei and Lithuminite's eyes and the male students collectively turned their heads toward Issei and glared at him with the intent of murder to which Issei put his hands up in the air innocently and laughed nervously.
"My names Ene and I hope we can all get along." Ene sensing the ill will towards Issei spoke up and did her best to look cute and it working perfectly because all eyes were on her.
"What about you miss?" The teacher asked and Lithuminite frowned but bowed and smiled.
"My names Lithy and I hope I can be friends with everyone." Lithuminite said in a childish voice and the whole class went nuts, both boys and girls flocking to her and Ene asking them question after question about where they were from and other stuff like that.
After the teacher had gotten everyone to return to their seats class resumed, in a way. Though the male half of the class was staring at Issei, sending death stares at him because there wasn't enough desks so Lithuminite took her seat on Issei's lap and smiled in amusement at the atmosphere of wanting Issei to die.
Later at lunch not only were the boys looking at Issei but Koneko also glared at him for letting Lithuminite take her seat on his lap.
"Why does she get my seat?" Koneko pouted as she cut her loses and made do with sitting next to Issei.
"First come first serve kitty cat." Lithuminite teased in response and Koneko hissed at her.
"Issei, make it up by feeding me!" Koneko demanded and Issei sighed as he picked up his chopsticks and fed her the contents of the lunch that Miya had made for everyone. Even after beating the shit out of her she was nice enough to make everyone's lunches and along with one other she volunteered to be the second maid of Issei's house.
After finishing up his meal Issei decided to take a walk around the more empty halls of the school building to clear his head and as he walked the halls he thought back to the argument between Ddraig and Lithuminite and a few of the things they argued about was bothering him, but he was knocked out of his thoughts when he heard whispering down the hall and Issei masked his presence and crept up to the classroom at the very back of the building that was rarely used and the voices go louder. One voice he didn't recognize and the other he recognized as Sona and Issei quickened his pace to the classroom door and when he peeked through the door he had to force himself not to yell out in amazement at what he saw. Sona was on top of another girl laying on a desk and had her arm between the other girls legs and was pleasuring the girl under her which was evident by the sounds of the girls heavy breathing and occasional moan.
I thought it would be funny to have a scene where Issei finds out in an odd twist that the stuck up and strict Sona happened to be into girls sooooo... ENTER THE YURI LEMON CAUSE WHY THE FUCK NOT!
"Shh, Chino! Someone might hear us." Sona whispered as she put her hand over her female partners mouth and stopped her before she moaned any louder.
"S-Sorry, it just feels so good I cant help but moan and don't stop, I was almost there." Chino said with a blush as she reached down and pulled Sona's hand back between her legs and urged her to keep going.
"As long as you keep quiet." Sona said as she pushed her fingers back into Chino whose moans, albeit quieter than before, filled the room again.
"Aaah! Sona I'm close! Up a little- AAAH! YEAH RIGHT THERE." Chino squeaked as Sona hit her sweet spot and continued to rub her fingers against it and in a few seconds Chino put her hand over her mouth and moaned loudly through her hand as her hips jerked upwards and she orgasmed and as Sona fingered her some of her juices squirted out from between Sona's fingers and she had to suppress her moans as Sona lengthened her orgasm.
"Sona! S-Stop!" Chino choked out between moans as Sona continued to pleasure her past her limits
"You wanted more right? I can't stop now can I?" Sona whispered as she unzipped the zipper to the side of Chino's uniform and licked her nipples and groped her breast while still pleasuring her lower part as well. "Your boobs are so big and squishy!" Sona said as she played with them more and Chino moaned and begged her to stop, but Sona ignored her pleas and pushed on.
"I-I'm gonna cum again!... Sona I'm cumming!" Chino yelled out as her hips spasmed and Sona smiled as she felt Chino tighten down on her fingers and like the last time she felt the liquid from Chino's pussy squirting out onto her and to add onto the pleasure she used her thumb to rub Chino's clit and she moaned out as her orgasm was again prolonged.
Sona bent her fingers and upwards and in one quick motion pulled her fingers out of Chino, hitting her g spot one last time and found satisfaction in the buck of her hips and the cute moan she let out.
Breathing heavily Chino's legs fell back down against the desk and she smiled up at Sona who smiled back at her. After a minute Chino regained her strength and quickly rolled Sona over and smiled at her.
"It's your turn." Chino said as Sona blushed and turned her head to the side. "Don't blush silly." Chino said as she turned Sona's head back and locked lips in a passionate kiss that Sona despite trying to hold back moaned and pushed into, pushing her tongue into Chino's mouth and the two fought each other over dominance which eventually ended after breaking to breath.
"You're always running student counsel errands and doing work, let Chino relieve some stress." Chino crawled down and after pulling up Sona's skirt rubbed her through her pantyhose and Sona moaned as Chino rubbed her through the thin fabric.
"But you look so cute." Chino said and Sona blushed and tried to say something back but moaned as she felt Chino's tongue drag down her pussy lips and she shivered in pleasure.
"At least pull them down, it's embarrassing having you lick me through them." Sona begged and Chino shook her head.
"I don't wanna, I like them on you better." Chino said as she put her head back between Sona's legs and licked her more aggressively and any argument Sona had quickly disappeared as pleasure filled her head.
After a minute Chino stopped and Sona whined at the loss of contact.
"My sister gave this to me for my birthday, but I never used so maybe you'll like it." Chino said as she pullled out a pink egg shaped object and Sona looked at it curiously but before she had a chance to ask Chino had already pulled her pantyhose down and stuck it into her and she threw her head back as the vibrations traveled through her and her hips started to buck upwards when she felt Chino's mouth on her pussy and this time Chino focused on sucking her clit.
"AAH! CHINO! THAT'S TO- AAAH!... MUCH!" Sona yelled out as she Chino felt that she was close and wanting to give her an orgasm licked and sucked as fast and hard as she could and after a minute Sona yelled out and her hips bucked forward as she orgasmed finally.
"Feel any better?" Chino asked and Sona nodded her head.
"Yeah... I guess." Sona replied as she sat up and shakily put her glasses back on and then got up to change her underwear. Chino doing the same.
"Class starts in a bit, we should get going." Sona said as she dusted of her skirt and turned around to face Chino who stood on her toes to match her height with Sona and kissed her on the cheek before quickly running out of the room giggling. Sona stood there slightly petrified and she reached up and touched her cheek and blushed slightly, but smiled and walked out of the room and down the hallway.
Issei let out a breath of air he had been holding in and sighed as he dropped back down to the floor from the ceiling. He couldn't help but watch the entire thing and after hearing Chino run towards the door he had to jump up and hold onto a wooden beam above him.
"That was way to close... And oh so hot at the same time." Issei said to himself and he looked back into the class room for a second before laughing a bit, he never expected that Sona of all people would have been attracted to the same-sex and it honestly was amusing.

[Your other half is kinda cute, but so are you, too.
Koneko opened her eyes and looked around her. She was surrounded in darkness and all she could see was tall and dark pillars with green fire seeping from the cracks in it. Looking down she saw a glowing green line that lead forward in front of her and after a while it's light disappeared in the darkness. Hesitantly she slowly walked along the line and eventually came to some sort of throne looking thing and she walked up to it cautiously and stared at the stone chair.
[What are you looking at?]
Koneko spun on her heals and came face to face with a young girl hanging upside down staring directly into her eyes and Koneko jumped back and got into a fighting stance.
[I'm not gonna hurt you silly.]
The girl laughed and dropped down to the ground and Koneko looked down to the scaly tail swishing behind the girl and the folded dragon looking wings.
[Oh these, I like Dragons so I made these part of my sub-form. I think they make me look cute.]
The girl said as she spread her wings out and twirled around.
'Who are you? Where am I?' Koneko asked the strange girl and she thought for a moment before snapping her fingers and green flamed torches lit the room. It looked like the interior of a medieval castle minus the fact that the room was made of a shiny black stone that formed pillars of spikes all along the walls and ceiling.
[This is my home.]
The girl replied and Koneko looked around briefly before narrowing her eyes at the girl and hissed.
'Who are you?' Koneko asked again and the girl giggled and flew over to the throne and sat down in it.
[I'm Kilithily. And you're Neko.]
'Koneko, not Neko.' Koneko dropped her fighting stance and relaxed a bit. It was obvious the girl didn't want to attack her but she kept her guard up just in case.
[That explains the ears and tail I think.]
Kilithily jumped off her seat and hovered over to Koneko and started rubbing her ears and playing with her tail.
[Are these real? I wish my tail and wings were real!]
Koneko tried to back up but the girl just followed her and seemed to be completely mesmerized by her cat ears and tail. 'Hey st- ah! T-That tickles.' Koneko backed up further and her heel caught on a rock and she stumbled backwards expecting to hit the floor but Kilithily caught her by her shirt and her wings flapped as fast they could to pull her back up onto her feet.
'Thanks...' Koneko thanked Kilithily and she smiled at her.
[Wouldn't want you getting hurt.]
'So what did you want with me?' Koneko asked Kilithily as she hovered back to her chair and sat back down.
[Uh... To talk to you I think?]
'You forgot...' Koneko stared at the Dragon girl think and hum to herself. 'She's an airhead.' Koneko decided after a second and sighed.
[Oh yeah! I remember. I just wanted to talk since we're able to now.]
Kilithily avoided looking Koneko in the eyes and fiddled with the hem of her skirt and.
'Talk? Why?' Koneko asked as she sat on the throne next to her.
[You haven't used me since that fight and I was getting kinda lonely all by myself and I just recently found out our compatibility rate was high enough that I could talk to you so I got excited and pulled you into my little dimension.]
'Lonely... Should have said something.' Koneko said in response to Kilithily and she smiled sadly.
[I was nervous and forgot. But we can still be friends right?]
Kiithily gave Koneko her best puppy dog eyes that of course weren't the greatest since they looked Dragonic like Issei's but, still looked pleading and oddly cute.
'Wait! Dragonic eyes!' Koneko finally realized it when she gently grabbed Kilithily's head and looked at her glowing green eyes. They were just like Issei's, unnatural in color, pupils narrowed like a Dragons and they glowed.
[Dragonic eyes? I'm not actually a Dragon... They disappeared a long time ago. Only a few remain, like the one within Issei.]
'That's what Lithuminite meant by not human!' Koneko smiled in victory as she finally understood what she meant, kinda. Now that she thought back on it Issei, Lithuminite and Kilithily's eyes were identical and the only real difference was the color.
[Lithy! I know her! Sometimes she plays with me!]
Kilithily's face brightened at the mention of Lithuminite but after a few seconds her smile turned to a frown and her lip quivered and a tear rolled down her cheek.
'H-Hey, what's wrong? Why are you so sad?' Koneko asked her and she didn't respond and instead started to whimper a bit causing Koneko to panic, she never dealt with kids much and she didn't know what to do.
[L-Lithy s-said she would p-play with me 9 years ago b-b-but she never came back.]
Kilithily was now crying and tears were streaming down her cheeks and Koneko stared at her and tried to think of something to do. She wasn't good with kids and she certainly wasn't good with crying kids either. After a minute Koneko did what she thought Issei would do and hugged Kilithily.
'Please stop crying. Uhhh... I'm sure Lithuminite had a good reason to leave.' Koneko nervously pat Kilithily's head and her small arms wrapped around her back and she cried into Koneko's shirt.
[R-Really? You s-sure?]
Kilithily sniffled and wiped tears from her eyes and face.
'Y-Yeah, I'm sure she had a reason. I'll tell her later to come visit.' Koneko smiled at Kilithily and pat her head.
[Wait... Does that mean you're leaving too?]
Kilithily asked and her face saddened again and Koneko was quick to shake her head.
'I don't really know how to leave so... I'm stuck here I guess.' Koneko replied and Kilithily smiled.
[If you want to leave I guess I can send you back but I don't want to be lonely anymore... Please don't leave me alone!]
Kilithily clutched Koneko's shirt and tears threatened to fall down her face again.
'Umm... Uhh... Can you do that thing like Lithuminite where you appear in my world?' Koneko asked Kilithily and she thought for a moment before giving Koneko a huge smile.
[That's right! Lithy told me something about assuming a form in the human world!]
Kilithily got excited and jumped up and flew around the room laughing. Kilithily flew back down to Koneko and held her hands.
[Stay still please.]
Kilithly closed her eyes and hummed oddly and after a second green flames surrounded them and swirled up to the ceiling.
[Don't panic, just close your eyes and focus on nothing but me and where our hands connect.]
Koneko did as she said and focused on their connecting hands and after a minute she felt dizzy and upon opening her eyes the last thing she saw was Kilithily reaching out to her.
0000
"Kilithily... Mmm... Wh..." Koneko rubbed her eyes and groggily opened them and sat up in bed. "Strange dream..." Koneko mumbled as she looked down and noticed a small girl sleeping in her lap. "Huh?..." Koneko mumbled as she poked the girl, causing her to flinch and stir a little. "K-Kilithily?" Koneko poked the girl and this time she yawned, stretched out her arm and then looked up into Koneko's eyes and smiled.
"Neko!" Kilithily jumped up and wrapped her arms around Koneko's neck and rubbed her cheek against Koneko's.
"It wasn't a dream then?" Koneko asked Kilithily and she shook her head.
"I'm your Module." Kilithily giggled excitedly and squeezed Koneko's neck tightly and Koneko had to tap her back to get her to stop. For such a small girl she had crazy strength just like Lithuminite's.
"Kilithily that hurts." Koneko tapped her back and Kilithily lightened her grip.
"Sorry." Kilithily apologized and sat back down in Koneko's lap.
"How do I tell Issei about this?" Koneko mumbled to herself as she looked over at Issei who was snoring softly in his sleep.
"Tell him what?" Kilithily asked as she leaned back into Koneko and stretched out her arms and yawned.
"About you." Koneko replied and Kilithily looked up at Koneko and frowned.
"Will Issei be mad that I'm here?" Kilithily asked and Koneko shook her head.
"No. Issei's a nice guy." Koneko replied and Kilithily tilted her head to the side and hummed in confusion.
"Last time Lithy talked to me she said Issei was scary and mean, was Lithly not right?." Kilithily asked and Koneko shook her head.
"Issei's only scary when he has to be." Koneko replied and Kilithily smiled and giggled in reassurance.
"Sleepy again." Kilithily yawned then slumped down and curled up next to Koneko and went back to sleep. Koneko laid back down and wrapped an arm around Kilithily.

It was still early in the morning and as Issei stirred awake he looked over at Koneko and immediately was wide awake and staring at the young girl in Koneko's arms.
"K-Koneko! I don't remember having a kid with you!" Issei jumped up in bed and shook Koneko awake.
"Hmm, what do you want?" Koneko groggily asked as she leaned up and squinted her eyes at Issei and he turned her head to look at Kilithily.
"We didn't have a kid did we?" Issei asked Koneko and she shook her head.
"This is Kilithily, my Module." Koneko replied and Issei sighed.
"Oh, it's just your Module... Wait! How did you meet her?" Issei asked Koneko as he sat down and stared at the sleeping girl.
"I woke up in her home and she started talking to me. Said she was lonely and wanted to talk to someone. Also started to cry when I mentioned leaving so I asked her to come back." Koneko replied and Issei laughed.
"Who knew you had a soft spot for kids. So what now?" Issei asked and Koneko shook her head.
"I don't know." Koneko said in reply.
"Well, how about I go make breakfast while you wake her up." Issei said as he got up and put a pair of shorts on and a short sleeve shirt.
"Ok." Koneko said as she lightly shook Kilithily's shoulder. "Kilithily. Wake up." Koneko said as she shook her should and poked her cheek.
"Hmmm... Neko?..." Kilithily asked as she rubbed her eyes and sat up.
"Yes, Neko." Koneko said and Kilithily sprung up and hugged her.
"Neko!" Kilithily said as she hugged her and Koneko pat her back.
"Let's go downstairs. Issei should have breakfast ready in a few minutes." Koneko said as she got up and walked with Kilithily down the stairs.
"Breakfast? What's that?" Kilithily asked and Koneko stared at her.
"Food." Koneko replied and Kilithily tilted her head in confusion.
"I think Lithy mentioned it before. It's something she said you rip out of humans and put in you mouth then it goes down to your belly." Koneko frowned at that response and the image of Lithuminite laughing like a demon and surrounded by fire entered her mind.
"What else did that little demon teach you." Koneko mumbled as she helped Kilithily up onto the stools and Issei sat a plate of scrambled eggs down in front of her along with a spoon.
"What's this?" Kilithily asked as she picked up and spoon and turned it in her hands, laughing when the light reflected off of it.
"Koneko? This girl doesn't know what a spoon is." Issei said and Koneko nodded her head slowly.
"Like this." Koneko grabbed the spoon and scooped up some eggs and held it out to Kilithily who looked at the eggs confused. "Open your mouth." Koneko said and Kilithily opened her mouth and Koneko put the spoon in her mouth. "Chew." Koneko instructed and Kilithily started to chew on the eggs.
"Delicious!" Kilithily said as she opened her mouth for more. Issei and Koneko took turns feeding her breakfast and while doing so, failed to notice the group of girls leaning into the doorway of the kitchen watching them.
"They look like a couple." Akeno said through gritted teeth as she squeezed the door frame until the wood cracked and splintered, the wall cracking all the way from the floor to the ceiling next.
"Yeah..." Rias mumbled as the sound of wood singeing filled the air and the sheet metal underneath melted then disintegrated around her.
Ene sighed and made a mental note to have the floor and wall replaced. Even she was a bit curious about who the girl was and she walked into the kitchen and sat down with them.
"So who's this?" Ene asked as she scanned the girl's body and her energy readings shot up.
"Kilithily. Koneko's Module." Issei replied to her as he feed said girl more eggs.
"That would explain the energy readings." Ene mumbled. "So what are you going to do with her? Ene asked Issei and he shrugged.
"I don't know. Koneko brought her with her and she's welcome here so whatever she decides." Issei replied to Ene and she sighed.
"Pretty eye." Kilithily said to Ene as she stared up at her face. Ene put her hand over the side of her face covered by her hair and frowned. "You don't like it?" Kilithily asked and Ene shook her head.
"No, it just reminds me of what I'll never be." Ene mumbled and Kilithily frowned again
"You're more human than anyone here though?" Kilithily asked and Issei smiled and gave Ene a hug.
"Yes she is." Issei replied and Ene smiled sadly.
"Right." Ene shook his arm off her shoulder and sat back down and watched him and Koneko feed Kilithily and show her things in the house.
"I hate to break this up but I got a message from Greyfia and she wants us to meet her in the devil realm for something." Rias said as she walked through the doorway and interrupted Koneko, Issei and Kilithy's conversations.
Issei turned over to her and noticed the slight twitch in her face that resembled irritation and sighed. "What more do they want with me?" Issei asked Rias and she shook her head in response.
"I don't know. All she said was that it was urgent and needed our attention right away." Rias explained quite vaguely and it was obvious by her tone that she was annoyed as well, especially since just a few days ago they went through that troublesome rating game and not even a week later they were being called back.
"If it's urgent then we have no choice but to go. You're my master so I have to do what you say." Issei said and Rias sighed but nodded.
"Yet you disobey me all the time. Anyway, off to the devil realm." Rias said in a mumble as she held her hand up and summoned a teleport circle and they were teleported away to the Devil realm
Upon arriving at the Devil realm Issei was surprised that it oddly resembled the human world with buildings, stands and random stores all around, albeit the sky had a red hue to it and Devil's roamed the streets freely not bothering to hide their wings at all.
"So this is the Devil's realm? Pales in comparison to the Citadel or Exventu'lle but, I guess it serves you lower species well." Lithuminite said as she looked at the surrounding area and took it all in.
"Who the hell are you?" Rias asked as she stared at the odd girl in the black and purple gothic styled maid dress.
"Issei must have forgotten to mention me, so cold... I'm Lithuminite Issei's module or scythe, whatever you wanna call me." Lithuminite said as she waved Rias off and went back to looking at the buildings around them.
"I don't even wanna know." Rias said with a shake of her head. "Let's go. Greyfia wouldn't be happy if we we're late." Rias said and they all walked down the streets of the Devil realm and eventually up a small mountain where the massive mansion that the Gremory family lived in.
"This place is huge!" Issei said as they walked through the massive gates and into the courtyard of the mansion.
"Rias, I'm pleased to see you were on time for once." Greyfia said as she walked up and greeted them with a bow.
"You said it was urgent so we hurried here." Rias said and Greyfia nodded.
"Yes. It may also have a connection to Issei so Sirzechs requested him to be here as well." Greyfia said, looking Issei's direction and smiling.
"What's going on?" Issei asked and Greyfia waved at them to follow her inside the mansion and up to a large room with a large table in the center. All around the table was chairs and in a few of them were the heads of the major Devil clans.
"This is the child responsible for the deaths of my sons peerage!" One of the men in the chairs said in anger as he stood up and stared directly at Issei.
"Lord Phenex calm yourself, it's very unprofessional of you." Sirzechs said to Phenex and he scoffed at Sirzechs before looking back to Issei and igniting in flames.
"I should kill you right now." He said and Issei smiled at him. "What's so funny punk?" Phenex asked and Issei laughed at him and then his face went cold.
"Sit." Issei said and the flames around Phenex snuffed out and he sat down.
"W-What the hell did you do to me!?" Phenex asked and Issei smiled at him.
"Inferiors should behave like good dogs and do as their told, now shut it." Issei said and just as Phenex was about to talk back is mouth shut and he struggled to open his mouth and went as far as to try to pry it open with his hands to no avail.
Rias slapped Issei's shoulder and he shook out of his defensive mode and looking back up to the rest of the head clan members and they were all coiled back and looked about ready to attack him.
"I'll over look your rather impressive display of power since we need an explanation from you directly about a few things so please have a seat." Sirzechs said and Issei sat down across from him.
"So what did you need from me?" Issei asked and Sirzechs waved over a holo screen and tapped at it for a few seconds before a set of pictures were displayed on multiple screens and floated around Issei. In the pictures were buildings that looked odd, they were pitch black and had the same intricate red lines that decorated Issei's scythe.
"Look familiar?" Sirzechs asked and Issei nodded. A second later Issei's scythe materialized and then Lithuminite replaced it.
"Exvenzel!" Lithuminite yelled as she looked at the buildings.
"Who is this!?" Zekram said in alarm at the sudden appearance of Lithuminite.
"Silence old man." Lithuminite shushed him and went back to staring at the pictures of the odd buildings.
"Old man? How dare you insult a member of the Bael clan! Do you not know who I am?" Zekram asked as he walked over and squared off with her.
"Do you know who I am?" Lithuminite shot back at him and he stared her up and down for a second.
"A lower class Devil who has no place here." He said and Lithuminite grit her teeth in anger.
"How dare you lump me in with your primitive race!" Lithuminite yelled and everyone in the room looked at her in anger.
"Primitive! We are a society that has existed for hundreds of thousands of years!" One of the clan heads shouted at her.
"Hundreds of thousands? We have existed for nearly Xeqluixle ven' lextch Zeyti!" Lithuminite said and they quieted down and stared at her ridiculously. After hearing the language she spoke they could not form a response as what she said was complete gibberish to them.
"Issei, would you care to explain this?" Sirzechs asked and Issei sighed.
"Lithuminite here is... Well to be honest not even I can fully explain what she is, though what I can say is that to her your existence is equal to that of a fly, insignificant and overlooked. Compared to hers though." Issei said and as he did the negative response from the clan heads and other important people there made him cringe slightly.
"Insignificant? Overlooked? Are you implying she is part of a higher race unknown to us?" Sirzechs asked Issei and he nodded in response.
"Of sorts. As far as I can tell her existence goes farther back then the Dragons." Issei said and Zekram shook his head and scoffed.
"Nothing can have existed that far back. The Dragons are as old as time itself." He said to which Lithuminite laughed.
"Oh that is rich. Quilx ne'va a delvendulz' exch'to endnellxzcto!" Lithuminite laughed hysterically and had to use Issei's shoulder to keep herself on her feet.
"Bex' lavel unx'vech till'tecx vendee?" Lithuminite said and the clan heads stared at her in confusion.
"I can't understand her at all! That's impossible!?" Zekram said in frustration as he tried to understand her.
"That proves how primitive you really are. You can't even understand the simplest forms of my language." Lithuminite said and Sirzechs nodded.
"I see. It is obvious that you're ancient if even we cannot understand you. You said Exvenzel when you saw those pictures, I take it you know what that strange structure is?" Sirzechs asked and Lithuminite nodded her head.
"Please try not to pronounce anything I say, your brain cannot even grasp the concept of my language and doing so would result in an electrical surge of information impossible to process and result in a neural collapse. And yes I know what those pictures are, they are the remnants of my Exten'zelvex." Lithuminite answered and Sirzechs nodded his head again.
"I take it by remnants you mean a lost city or something." Sirzechs asked and Lithuminite nodded.
"Spectral-trans-dimensional divergence, the process in which a dimension is split apart and the vectors are separated from reality entirely." Lithuminite said as she sat down in Issei's lap and continued to stare at the pictures.
"What does that mean?" Sirzechs asked curiously. He couldn't understand most of what she was saying but what he could understand interested him.
"It means the gravitational force of two dimensions crashing into reality fight and which ever one is weaker gets torn apart in a multitude of ways, most times it's on an atomic level but sometimes pieces of the dimension can be thrown across space and time. What you're looking at is a small remnant of the citadel of the planet I ruled over." Lithuminite explained and this information was new to Issei so he got lost as much as Sirzechs and the rest did.
"You ruled over an entire planet?" Zekram asked Lithuminite and she looked to him and scoffed.
"I ruled an entire dimension actually but, the one that held my throne was the largest and most powerful planet of Telshinex'te in the Lede'x cluster." Lithuminite replied and Zekram couldn't form any words to respond.
"It seems this meeting has strayed from its original course and has taken a separate path. The main problem is that this city has appeared here in the Devil realm. This city will appear and then disappear in random places all over the place and it is confusing our scientific teams who cannot figure out the reason. We want to know what's going on and why it seems to vanish in thin air." Sirzechs asked and Lithuminite smiled.
"Piece of cake. I can't exactly tell you everything but my guess is that the remnants of Exvenzel are contained in an unstable dimensional dyson sphere. Meaning it's rapidly flashing between space and time trying to find a stable vector that hasn't been affected by the Spectral-trans-dimensional divergence. It's determined that the vectors her are safe but finding one to fit into is difficult." Lithuminite said and then leaned back on Issei's chest and let out a yawn.
"I want everyone but Greyfia, Issei, Ene and Lithuminite out of this room. We have sensitive topics to cover." Sirzechs said and despite the protests of Zekram and Phenex, they all were forced out.
"Now, Judging from your connection to Azazel you are no stranger to secrecy correct?" Sirzechs asked Issei who nodded. "Good, if the public knew about such things it could be catastrophic to our history. Anyway I want you to investigate this city and if possible shield it from view. Is that possible?" Sirzechs looked directly at Lithuminite and she rolled her eyes and sighed at the obvious direction the question was thrown.
"I can do it if the main systems still function and if the central A.I. cortex isn't damaged. The only major problem is getting into the city, it's in an unstable dyson sphere so the possibility of being ripped apart on an atomic level is high." Lithuminite replied to Sirzechs question and he nodded his head.
"On to my next question. Is there any technology worth salvaging from that city that could help us in any way?" Sirzechs asked and Lithuminite frowned and then smiled at him.
"Typical greed." Lithuminite chuckled as Sirzechs shook his head.
"That's not what I mean. The reason I had everyone leave is because I have information that absolutely cannot be leaked to anyone other than a select few." Sirzechs explained and Issei picked up Lithuminite and sat her down on the chair next to him.
"What's so important that you had even major clan leaders leave?" Issei asked.
"Only a few know about this between the Devils, Angels and Fallen Angels. Satan and God are dead." Sirzechs said and Issei's face twisted into one of disbelief.
"Wait they're dead?" Issei asked for confirmation and Sirzechs nodded.
"Yes, the church's think we did it but in reality we don't know how they died or who killed them. The Angels, in response are massing their members and we think they are planning a massive assault and since the last great war our numbers have not recovered enough to be able to fight back evenly so we're desperate for an edge, no matter how dull or sharp it will help us in the long run." Sirzechs replied to Issei with a sigh as he leaned back.
"So that's why." Lithuminite said with a nod of her head. "With my relation to death I've always favored the demonic sides of war and I despise those white robed assholes so I guess I can spare some tech that's primitive to my race but advanced to yours." Lithuminite said and Sirzechs face lit up a bit.
"So you'll assist us?" Sirzechs asked and Lithuminite nodded.
"I got weaponry more powerful than Hell fire." Lithuminite said and at this Ene was in her face.
"I heard weapons! Where?!" Ene asked and Lithuminite backed up and sighed.
"Is she really this much of a gun nut?" Lithuminite turned to look at Issei as she asked this and he nodded.
"Yeah..." Issei said.
"Issei. I feel it's wrong to involve a human in this but I would like to personally request you join our fight and help to secure our future." Sirzechs got up and bowed to Issei who shook his hands rapidly.
"It's fine for me to get involved since I'm no longer human and I have a personal vendetta against Angels so I'll gladly help kick their asses." Issei replied and Sirzechs raised his head up and looked at him confused.
"You were human before, what happened?" Sirzechs asked Issei who scratched his neck awkwardly.
"Kind of a confusing and long story but short version is that I gave up my humanity entirely and now I'm part of Lithuminite's race." Issei replied and Sirzechs opened his mouth to reply then closed it and stayed silent for a minute.
"Most of the information gathered is beyond anyone's understanding so I won't delve too deep into it, but I thank you for accepting my selfish request." Sirzechs bowed once more before standing up and shaking Issei's hand.
"There's one slight problem about this." Issei said and Sirzechs turned back to him.
"What would that be?" Sirzechs asked.
"Even if we recover weapons, none of you know how to use them and I can't teach thousands of people to use advanced weapons." Issei said and Sirzechs considered this and then sighed.
"That is very much true, I never thought about that." Sirzechs said as he thought about the sudden predicament at hand.
"I can transfer weapon data into modules and through the modules it will send signals to the brain that induce a state of instinctual knowledge on using them but wielders will have to be accepted by the modules so it might take time." Lithuminite said from her seat next to Issei and Sirzechs looked over to her.
"You mean you can program instinct into the brains of someone just by them touching this module you speak of?" Sirzechs asked and Lithuminite smiled and nodded her head.
"I am Issei's module in human form so yeah it wouldn't be that hard." Lithuminite replied "Now all that's left to do is get inside Exvenzel which I figured out wasn't that hard." Lithuminite added in a 'I'm a genius now bow before me' tone.
"Alright let's go then." Issei said and Lithuminite nodded at him.
"Exvel ni'x t'el kexlyx'desz von' te la crux!" Lithuminite stood up, held one arm up with her hand extended up toward the ceiling and the other pointed down at the ground and said what sounded like a chant.
"Extenx de'xnel!" Lithuminite yelled and the air distorted around her to the point where seeing clearly was impossible and after a second the distortion dissipated and when Issei was able to see clearly he was surrounded by tall black buildings decorated in glowing red line work.
"Is this Exvenzel?" Issei asked Lithuminite who was standing next to him and she nodded.
"Yeah." Lithuminite responded as she walked forward a few steps. Looking down there were millions of small and large blood-red crystals scattered throughout the ground.
"What are these?" Ene asked as she picked up a larger crystal and analysed it. "Scanning it reveals it's both inorganic and organic at the same time." Ene looked at the crystal confused.
"This is the result of a dimension being ripped apart. These crystals are what's left of my people." Lithuminite said sadly as she knelt down and touched on of the crystals. Ene however dropped the crystal and backed up.
"You're saying these were once people?" Ene asked and Lithuminite looked back at her and nodded. "I'm sorry, I didn't know." Ene said and Lithuminite shook her head.
"It's fine. While we can we might as well gather some. They're great material for making bullets, fuel, blades, you name it and we can make it out of it." Lithuminite said and Ene looked at her with a grim expression.
"You made stuff out of dead people?" Ene asked and Lithuminite chuckled and shook her head.
"Saying they're dead is a bit incorrect since we can never truly die, but no. We used an artificial method of creating the crystals but these are in their purest form and are thirty times as strong and potent." Lithuminite said as a black box materialized and she filled the box with as many crystals as the box could hold. Lithuminite materialized more boxes and sat them down next to Ene and Issei. "Fill these with as many crystals as possible, I'm going to go check the A.I. and try to set up a molecular ionic distortion field around the remains of Exvenzel." Lithuminite said and then her form broke apart and she disappeared.
"Well we better hurry." Issei said as he carefully packed the crystals into the boxes and then sat them in a neat stack.
After an hour they had filled all the boxes and had sat down to take a rest just as the air distorted and the ground rumbled followed by the sound of what sounded like gunshots and direct energy EM rifle discharges.
"What was that?" Issei yelled as he pulled out his pistol and Ene materialized a classic m82a1 fifty bmg heavy rifle into her hands.
"I don't know. Sound patterns match EM weaponry and RF waves match the frequency of high rate of fire Emelmg rifles." Ene explained as she scanned her surroundings and determined the sound was coming from down the street they were on. "That way!" Ene pointed as red and blue beams shot around the corner of the large street and explosions followed the beams of light. After a few seconds of silence a figure moved up the street towards them at lightning speeds and Issei raised his pistol and tried to keep up with its speed but he couldn't and fired off a few shots hoping to hit whatever it was and missed.
"HEY IT'S ME YOU IDIOT! DON'T SHOOT!" Lithuminite screamed as she stopped right before crashing into them. Lithuminite had gauntlets on both her arms and large armored boots with what looked like thrusters on the bottom, armor that covered her chest and back and strapped to her body and in her armored hands were two objects that looked liked guns and were glowing red from firing.
"Put this armor on and we need to hide." Armor just like Lithuminite's materialized in Issei and Ene's arms and they quickly got into the armor.
"What is this armor and what does it do?" Ene asked and Lithuminite sighed.
"Imagine yourself flying and the armor will respond to your brainwaves or in your case it will respond to the cognitive processors and signal interception nodes. Quickly we need to get out of here!" Lithuminite said as she hovered backwards a few feet and stared down the street she came down.
"From what? What's going one?" Issei asked and Lithuminite shook her head and arms.
"Annihilator Monoliths, these are combat drones but they're responsible for the mass extinction of Ddraig's race. Conventional weapons won't do anything so take these." Lithuminite materialized and handed over 4 guns just like hers to Ene and Issei, they were obviously meant to be dual wielded and it was a good thing Issei was ambidextrous. "The gun fires the same way a normal human one does but it's a lmg so control recoil and let it's heat compensators activate after 60 seconds of firing." Lithuminite instructed and Issei nodded then looked up from the lmg to the end of the street where two mech looking robots sprinted into the cross-section and looked down straight at them.
"Now! We need to go!" Lithuminite ignited the thrusters on her boots and she hovered up into the air a foot. Issei and Ene did the same and after Lithuminite grabbed both their hands she flew down the street with them and not to far behind them the mechanical clanking of the Annihilator Monoliths could be heard.
"How fast are these things?" Ene asked as she turned and looked behind to see the mechs only a hundred feet behind them quickly closing the gap.
"Depends on what their terrain is. In this case it's a few hundred miles an hour and in open space they can travel up to mach twenty-five." Lithuminite yelled as she made a sharp turn with the Annihilator Monoliths turning the same corner a second after they did. Lithuminite slowed down a bit so that she tailed Ene and Issei and turned around so that she was flying backwards and pointing both her guns she fired at the Annihilator Monoliths who easily dodged and started to fire back at her.
"Issei my guns overheated! Switch!" Lithuminite yelled and Issei spun around and took her place shooting at the Annihilator Monoliths for 20 seconds before letting the plasma ventilate and cool before firing again.
"They just won't hold still!" Issei said in frustration as he struggled to keep his sights trained on the enemies behind him.
"Adjust your aim by point zero zero three and after point seven seconds of firing jerk up by ten inches and it should hit them." Lithuminite said as she dropped the magazine of her gun and loaded in another.
Issei adjusted his aim as she said and after he started to fire at them they jumped up to avoid the hail of plasma and Issei jerked both his lmg's up and this time the shots hit but they were harmless against the blue shields that now surrounded them.
"What the hell type of shielding do they use?" Issei asked and Ene spun around and let Lithuminite lead them so she could scan it.
"Hardlight based shielding but approximately two hundred and thirty percent denser than our standard level three Hardlight shielding systems." Ene said in amazement at how hyper-condensed the particles would have to be to create the level of density that the Annihilator Monoliths possessed.
"How do we punch through that strength of shielding?" Issei asked and Lithuminite looked back at him and frowned.
"The only way is if I go back to scythe form." Lithuminite said and Issei smiled.
"Finally, I've been itching to use you again." Issei said and as he dropped his lmg's they dematerialized and so did Lithuminite's armor and Issei caught her in his arms when she started to fall back towards the ground
"Ready?" He asked and with a slight blush she nodded her head and her body dematerialized and in her place was his scythe. "Time to get it on." Issei said as he cut off his thrusters and the two Monoliths sped past him and into a building, crashing into it and quickly standing back up and running at Issei this time with what looked like swords made of hardlight or plasma.
The first one lunged at Issei and he blocked both its blades and pushed it back just in time for him to spin around and block the other ones two blades. Issei pushed back the Monoliths and the two grouped back together and seemed to study him a bit.
"Issei don't stop moving, they're trying to analyse your fighting patterns and movement style." Lithuminite said in his head and with a smile he ignited his thrusters and flew at them in a unpredictable way by spinning in random directions and darting back and forth. Flying past one of them he flicked his wrist and his scythe angled upwards and sliced the arm off of one of the Monoliths and it stumbled backwards and re focused on Issei.
"This is easier than I thought." Issei said with a laugh as he turned around and flew back at them intending to cut it in half this time.
"Don't underestimate them, they can kill anything with the right time to analyse the target." Lithuminite warned and Issei smiled and continued forward but as he did the two Annihilator Monoliths turned towards him and the panels on the top of them opened and missiles shot out of their launch tubes and followed Issei wherever he went.
"Tracking huh?" Issei said as he looped in the air and swung his scythe downwards and sliced the missile in half, the two parts exploding after a second and taking out the rest of the missiles. Resuming his frantic flight he ducked down and angled his scythe upwards so that when he flew between the Annihilator Monoliths legs his scythe sliced it in half and with a high-pitched ringing sound the two parts fell to the ground and exploded. The ground rumbled and shook as the buildings on either side started to collapse from the explosions and crushed the other Annihilator Monolith still standing.
"That wasn't so bad." Issei said as Lithuminit materialized in his arms where his scythe used to be.
"You were extremely lucky, trust me when I say those things are dangerous." Lithuminite said as she unconsciously gripped onto Issei's shirt.
"How dangerous exactly?" Ene asked as she hovered over to them.
"They're a little stronger than you Ene but they're ability to process information and make calculations is millions of times faster." Lithuminite said as she started to fly back towards the intersection where they left all the crates filled with crystals.
"I'm not oblivious to my power but that's ridiculous. Also fascinating at the same time." Issei said as he crouched down and picked up a black triangular plate that seemed to pulse in his hands. "Hey what's this thing?" Issei asked as he held it up for Lithuminite, who immediately knocked it out of his hands and kicked it as far away as she could. "Hey wha-" Issei closed his mouth and turned his head down the direction she kicked the plate and where the street was there was a large perfectly cut out half circle in the ground.
"Those are a grenade of sorts. Demolecularize everything around it." Lithuminite said as she backed up a few feet and looked around at the once thriving citadel of her home world and then prepared to take them back to the mansion they left from.
Raising one arm to the sky and reaching toward the ground with the other Lithuminite closed her eyes started to chant again. "Exvel ni'x t'el kexlyx'desz von' te la crux! Extenx de'xnel!" The air distorted and around them and when it cleared they were back in the conference room they had met in and everyone was looking over at them with wide eyes and next thing he knew Koneko fell to her knees and was crying.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Issei asked and when he looked up he saw that Akeno, Asia and Rias had tears in their eyes.
"Issei is that really you?" Asia asked as a tear rolled down her cheek.
"Yeah? What's wrong? why are you crying?" Issei asked again and he got no response. "Guys..."
"Issei you've been missing for almost six months." Sirzechs said as he walked over to him.
"Six months... What the hell are you talking about? We've been gone for a few hours at most." Issei said in disbelief, there was no way he was gone that long.
"Look outside." Sirzechs said and Issei narrowed his eyes at him but moved over to the window and as he looked out he noticed all the maids and anyone else he saw was frozen in place like a statue.
"What's going on? Why is everyone frozen?" Issei asked Sirzechs and he shook his head.
"Six months ago, a few hours after you left there was this strange high pitch shrieking noise and the air had this odd ripple to it and all of sudden everyone just froze in place and no matter what we did nothing unfroze and it seems the only one's who did not freeze were Rias's peerage, me, Greyfia and Sona." Sirzechs said and Issei shook his head.
"That's impossible! No way has six months passed!" Issei said and Sirzechs shook his head.
"Whether you want to believe it or not six months has passed. The times on holo pads and phones still ticked." Sirzechs said as he walked away and sat down at his desk in the back of the room.
"Koneko..." Issei walked over to her and she sprung up and slapped him across the face and sent him crashing onto the table.
"What was that fo-" Issei looked up and Koneko was still crying and looked at him with a face of betrayal.
"YOU WERE GONE FOR SIX MONTHS! I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE GONE FOREVER!" Koneko screamed at him and he couldn't form a response. "SAY SOMETHING!" She yelled at him again and he tried to think.
"Koneko I'm sorry, I thought I was only gone for a few hours." Issei replied to Koneko and she shook her head and ran over to him and hugged him.
"Six months... Six months I thought you were gone for good... You don't even know how bad it hurt me and everyone." Koneko chocked out and Issei wrapped his arms around her.
"Koneko I'm really sorry." Issei could only apologize as she cried in his arms and after a while she calmed down, but refused to let go of him fearing if she did that he'd disappear again.
"So what's happening?" Issei asked and everyone shook their heads.
"No idea everything just happened and we sent out messages telepathically to anyone who might be able to move and told them to meet up at the mansion but we're the only ones who showed up." Akeno replied to him and he looked down at Koneko in his lap and frowned.
"Lithuminite remember when I killed that Annihilator Monolith and it made that high-pitched sound? Do you think it could have something to do with what's happening? Sirzechs did say that just a few hours after we left they heard a high-pitched sound and then everyone went frozen." Issei asked and Lithuminite thought for a moment.
"It's possible that it's some type of defense mechanism." Lithuminite said as she seemed to continue thinking.
"Shouldn't you know about these things?" Sirzechs asked and Lithuminite shook her head.
"Much like my existence is a mystery to you, the Annihilator Monoliths are a mystery to me. In my time we tried to contain them and research about them, but most times we failed to do any research at all. What we did learn is that they are probability driven calculators meaning in a fight if there's a greater than one percent chance of losing the fight they self destruct and any time we fought it usually ended with either all my soldiers physical bodies being killed or several million micro emp waves to wipe any and all information from their memories followed by a randomly generated, matching self destruct code that broke their bodies down into tiny fragments on a molecular scale which then imploded on itself." Lithuminite replied to Sirzechs question and he frowned.
"Dangerously smart and far more advanced than us." Sirzechs mumbled with a shake of his head.
"So how do we unfreeze time or reverse whatever is going on here?" Issei asked and no one answered.
"I'm thinking back to any research documents on Annihilator monoliths and there was one burnt document I remember, I think it said 'A loop cast system suggest that when it activates it somehow binds' And that's all that was on it. I don't know what it meant but generally a loop cast system is used to repeat multiples programs within one nanosecond of the previous executed program but that has nothing to do with what's going on now. At least I doubt that it does." Lithuminite replied.
"Sirzechs you said that the church was planning mobilization, could this be part of it?" Issei asked after remembering what Sirzechs had said about the church and the angels and Sirzechs seemed to think for a moment.
"It could be, I don't remember them possessing any type of sacred gear or magic that can do this though."
"Wait! Gasper, they must have captured Gasper!" Rias said all of a sudden and Sirzechs looked at her confusedly for a second before coming to the same realizations she did.
"But even if they did, Gasper's power stops time entirely." Sirzechs said and Rias shook her head.
"Is there a way that the flow of time could be interrupted or modified so that only the time for certain people can stop or continue?" Rias asked both Lithuminite and Ene who was easily the most intelligent person on the planet.
"Yes that's quite possible but it would take an extreme understanding of the space-time continuum." Lithuminite said and Rias nodded her head in agreement.
"If it's the church though, why haven't they attacked?" Sona spoke up for the first time as she walked over to the group and sat with them.
"Because they're waiting for the perfect moment." Issei whispered with an evil smile as he got up and walked toward the door quietly and stood by it.
"Issei wha-" Rias started to talk but Issei shushed her and pulled back his fist back then punched it through the wall and as he pulled his arm back a man in white robes was ripped through the wall and Issei slammed him down onto the floor and pinned him down to the
"Naughty naughty, spying on us like that." Issei said as he picked the man up by the throat and shoved him down into a chair and tied him to it. "So I assume you're an angel or at the very least a recon team for the church. So who caused this time freeze thing?" Issei asked and the man kept his mouth shut.
"Come on don't make this hard." Issei said as he pulled out his pistol and pointed it at his head.
"You're not getting anything out of me." The man said stubbornly to which Issei smiled.
"Pop goes the kneecap." Issei said cheerfully as he shot the man in the knee and he threw himself to the floor screaming in pain holding what was left of his knee.
"Issei! You just shot him!" Sona yelled as she walked over to him and he chuckled.
"This is called interrogation. Bet you've seen it in those cheesy cop shows, though my way is much more efficient." Issei said as he turned back and looked down at the man on the ground grunting while trying to contain his agony.
"Tell me everything you know or it's your other knee." Issei threatened and the man spit up Issei who rolled his eyes and shot his other knee causing the man to scream in agony yet again.
"Maybe he just needs some friendly encouragement." Issei commented as he knelt down next to the man and smiled.
"Maybe we got off on the wrong foot. If you tell me everything you know I'll have my friend over there heal you and reduce the pain, I'm sure it's agonizing having both your knees shot." Issei said still smiling and the man looked at him like he was crazy for a few seconds but nodded his head.
"Fine. We were hired by the church and sent to kill you." The man said and Issei's grin grew bigger and he nodded his head happily.
"Thanks." Issei said and the man smiled.
"So you'll let me live?" He asked and Issei nodded his head.
"Yeah I'll let you live, you gave me vital information." Issei replied and he let out a breath of air and smiled.
"See Sona? My methods work." Issei said to her and she sighed.
"Fine, I'll admi-" Sona started but was interrupted by the sound of Issei's gun discharging and the splattering of the mans brains all over the wall and himself.
"Hahaha... fucker actually believed me." Issei laughed as he dropped the man to the ground and Sona looked back at Issei in disbelief and anger.
"You said you would let him live? What in hell's name are you doing?" Sona yelled at him and Issei rolled his eyes at her.
"Look." Issei walked over to Sona and put his arm around her shoulder and turned her to stare at the dead man. "I don't know if you've ever seen any combat before, but this is what you do to prisoners. You don't let the enemy live to come back and kill you another day." Issei whispered to her and she pulled his bloody arm off her shoulder in disgust and slapped him across the face.
"You also don't kill an unarmed man." Sona yelled at him and Issei laughed.
"Looks like your time with the human military has made you soft, oh wait! I bet no one knew you served the humans in war." Issei said and Sona narrowed her eyes at him and growled.
"What do you mean, Issei?" Rias and Sirzechs asked at the same time and Issei smiled.
"They really didn't know hahaha. Sona found out a friend of hers was going to the front lines and snuck into her unit to keep her safe." Issei said and Sirzechs and Rias stared at Sona awkwardly.
"HOW D-D-DO YOU KNOW THAT!?" Sona blushed bright red and yelled at him.
"I know almost every soldier in the military seeing as I overlooked ninety percent of them during training and my superiors let me know when an odd girl tried to blend in with us. Oh and by the way, I saw you and that same girl multiple times in the empty classroom at the far end of D hall. I wonder what you two do in there all the time?" Issei said the last part louder for everyone in the room to hear and Sona's face lit up bright red and she mumbled incoherent gibberish.
"Sona likes girls." Koneko said to Asia whose innocent mind didn't understand and Asia blushed as well after fully understanding Issei's question.
After a minute of everyone talking to each other and embarrassing Sona to the point words could not explain her embarrassment she finally was able to form coherent words and yelled at Issei.
"W-WHY WERE YOU SPYING ON US AND WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I L-L-LIKE HER!?" Sona screamed and Issei smiled deviously at her.
"Chino I think her name was? Beautiful girl with an ideal body, personality and grades." Issei said and Sona glared at him harder to which he just smiled and laughed. "Oh yeah I think I remember something from the other day at school." Issei said to Sona and she raised and eyebrow in curiosity.
"Oh really? What was it?" Sona asked and Issei laughed.
"Sona, please stop! You said you wanted more right? How can I stop now?" Issei acted out dramatically and mimicked their voices creepily accurate and Sona blushed bright red and punched him onto the floor and kicked him as many times as she could before Akeno pulled her away from Issei.
"H-H-HOW D-D-DO YOU KNOW THAT!? W-WERE YOU S-S-SPYING ON US WHEN WE WERE D-D-DOING IT!?" Sona screamed at him as she struggled to break free of Akeno who tried and failed at holding in her laughter.
"Trust me it was an accident and I didn't mean to." Issei said with a cough and a wheeze as he pulled himself up.
"LIKE I'LL BELIEVE YOU!" Sona yelled at him again and Issei sighed and then got real close and whispered in her ear.
"I could tell everyone that you have the hots for a high-class fallen angel but I would hate to break up the special relationship you two have formed. Plus, I'd feel like shit if something happened to you or her." Issei pulled away from her and she calmed down and stopped struggling in Akeno's grip. He was right, if it was known that Chino was a high-class fallen angel it could ruin their relationship and it made her heart sink just thinking about the possibility of it happening.
"Time to gather the rest. Maybe they'll have some answers." Issei said and he disappeared before anyone said anyone could say anything and after a few minutes they heard another gun shot coming from the courtyard and everyone rushed down to find twelve people handcuffed and on their knees in a line and one laying on the ground bleeding out and Issei was walking back and forth looking at them.
"You." Issei said as he flipped the hat off one of the people in white robes and it was a younger girl with short, shoulder length green hair and blue eyes. She flinched when Issei knelt down and forced her to look in his eyes. "You don't belong with these mercenaries. Go over where my friends are and the girl named Asia will treat those bruises." Issei took the handcuffs off her and walked her over to Asia before going back to his prisoners. "Come on really? She was barely older than me and with those severe of injuries!" Issei said to the remaining men.
"She had the goods so we enjoyed her and when she acted up we gave her punishment." One of the men said with a sneer towards Issei and he looked over to the man who said it.
"Oh! So she was your punching bag and play toy?" Issei asked and the men chuckled.
"Church assholes never let us take her fully but we got to enjoy her hands and tits." The same man said again and Issei smiled and laughed at him.
"And this ladies and gentleman is what you call a literal waste of space that I feel disgusted to even breath the same air with." Issei walked over to him and kicked him in the face, knocking him over onto the ground then picked him up by the throat and held him in the air. "I know a lot of types of torture that will break bodies and shatter minds, but I'm not going to slowly twist your finger nails off, peel your skin back before throwing you into boiling oil, break every bone in your body one at a time starting at your toes and fingers... No you don't deserve that kind of pain, you deserve worse." Issei hissed at him and pulled out his large pistol.
"This gun takes fifty AE rounds. A pretty big bullet might I add." Issei said as he waved the gun in his face.
"Yeah so? What are you gonna do kill me?" He asked and Issei smiled at him as he pointed the gun at his face and after a second he pointed the gun downward and pulled the trigger and dropped the man now screaming in agony and clutching his hands between his legs.
"No I won't kill you, I'm just gonna assume the roll of veterinarian today cause you boys are due for an appointment with the surgeon and damn does it feel good to shoot some people up. That other guy inside didn't even put up a fight and immediately asked to be killed and now his brains are on the wall and ceiling. By the way... which one of you wants to become a girl next?" Issei asked with a laugh as one of the men screamed and pushed himself up onto his feet and tried to run.
"I DIDN'T SIGN UP FO-"
"Kaboom." Issei said as he spun around and shot the man who ran through the head. Walking over to the body Issei grabbed the dead man by the head and not even minding when he wrapped his fingers around the shattered and blood soaked skull of the man then dragged him back to the others and held the body up for them to see then after a second he smiled and crushed what was left of the head in his hand and the body fell to the ground and as he released his clenched fist bits of bone, brain and blood joined the body on the ground
"Violating a girl and beating her up after she refuses to suck your pathetic dick is like a vienna sausage and whip cream mixed together; It's disgusting and now you'll all face the consequences." Issei said as Lithuminite materialized in scythe form in his hands and he raised it up in the air and dropped it back behind him stabbing through the chest of the guy he shot in the dick. The man's body convulsing for a few seconds before remaining still and lifeless. "I'm going to ask each one of you a question and afterwards I'll do the same thing I did to your friend so you might as well tell me everything you know before I kill you." Issei said as he pointed his pistol down at the next mans crotch and patiently waited for a response.
"I don't know anything I'm just a- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Issei didn't bother to let him finish and shot him in dick and then walked over to the guy next to the one now rolling on the ground wailing in pain.
"You wanna talk?" Issei asked and the man shook his head and Issei sighed and shot him also and that made two screaming men on the ground. "How ab-" Issei started to ask the next man but he was interrupted by the two men on the ground cursing and after a minute they still were screaming but not as loud. "As I was saying. Do you wanna tell me anything?" Issei asked and the man didn't look up or make any sound. Issei shot him also and moved onto the next one and the next one until there were none left and he sighed in disappointment and then sat down and watched the eleven men cry like victim's of torture.
After half an hour of Issei had enjoyed himself enough and shot all of them dead.
"So how about you missy? Got anything to say?" Issei asked as he walked over to Asia who was still healing the girl and as soon as Issei spoke she jumped back and curled into a ball to protect herself. "I'm not gonna hurt or kill you, I just want some answers." Issei said and the girl looked up to him with tears in her eyes and she nodded her head slowly.
"I-I'm Elizibeth, I was only a tool for their pleasure so I d-don't know much b-but I know the church sent us to scout out this place and kill anyone that could still move." The girl Elizibeth said quietly and with a slight stutter and Issei pat her head.
"Thank you." Issei said as he got up and went to search the bodies for anything useful.
"Issei's methods are... Brutal to say the least..." Sirzechs said as he watched Issei cut off random parts of one of the men who miraculously managed to live after getting shot twice and screams of agony filled the courtyard yet again.
"We've got another Akeno on our hands but I don't think he's quite like her." Rias said with a sigh and Sirzechs did the same.
"Yeah, he's worse than her on the psychotic level. However, I can accept that Issei's pissed. No girl should have to go through that." Sirzechs added before walking back inside as Sona walked out and saw the carnage for the first time and had to suppress the urge to throw up at what she saw.
"What the hell is he doing!? That's absolutely disgusting!" Sona yelled as she walked over to the Rias and the others.
"He's searching for anything that could give him any information on the attackers." Rias replied and Sona shook her head.
"That does not look like searching a body! That right there looks like torture!" Sona pointed over to Issei and Rias looked over to see Issei still toying with the guy by cutting his fingers off at each knuckle and pouring the blood into his mouth all the while he screamed and begged for mercy which only seemed to fuel Issei's entertainment.
"Right..." Rias mumbled back.
"Don't you have anything else to say? He is YOUR pawn." Sona asked with a shake of her head in disappointment.
"What am I supposed to do? Tell him to stop?" Rias asked back in reply and Sona shrugged at her.
"Well do something and oh god that is absolutely disgusting!" Sona gagged and had to swallow her lunch for the second time after looking over and seeing Issei rip out the mans insides and crush the heart into a pile of mush. "Ugh, he's sick in the head." Sona added as Issei picked one of the bodies up and sliced it in half after throwing it up into the air and laughing as the blood splattered down on him.
"Didn't have a single thing on them." Issei said with a shrug of his shoulders, his hands accidentally flinging blood onto Sona's face
"Issei... WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Sona yelled at him and he looked at her confused.
"What?" Issei asked and he looked at her and noticed the blood splatter on her face. "Oh, sorry about that." Issei said as he cupped her cheek in his hand and used to the other to pull out a handkercheif and he gently wiped the blood off her face, the closeness causing her to blush.
"Well I'm gonna go clean up." Issei said as he walked off towards the nearest bathroom.
"Sona your face is bright red... It's hot ain't it? He's so brutal, but soft at the same time." Akeno whispered into Sona's ear and she jumped back.
"No! I already have someone." Sona yelled and Akeno smiled.
"We heard from Issei. So how did your first time feel?" Akeno asked and Sona blushed.
"Great I guess." Sona replied. Sona would have kept her mouth shut but her and Akeno had been friends for a long time so she didn't mind telling.
"Hmm really? Nothing else to say?" Akeno asked and Sona blushed further and shook her head.
"Make sure to record your next time with her so I can see." Akeno teased and Sona shook her head and sighed then waved Akeno off as she walked back inside the mansion.

"How do you feel?" Asia asked as she finished healing Elizibeth and the white-haired girl stretched out and felt her body.
"The bruises are gone." Elizibeth said in surprise as she lifted up her shirt and the bruises from being beaten were gone and for the first time she could remember in a long time she didn't feel any pain.
"Thank you so much." Elizibeth turned to face Asia with teary eyes and hugged her.
"Uh y-yeah... no problem." Asia replied slightly embarrassed
"So what are we going to do about our current situation?" Issei heard Sona ask as he walked up to the large conference table and saw that Sona, Sirzechs, Rias and Akeno were seated at and from the sounds of things they were arguing about what to do next.
"Gasper contacted me somehow and fortunately he wasn't captured by the church and unfortunately we're left with even more questions." Rias said in reply to Sona and the room fell silent.
"Oh, Issei! I did some scanning with Ene and I've determined that there was a quantum fluctuation in Exvenzel signifying that somewhere, something happened to cause this and I think it had something to do with the Annihilator Monoliths you destroyed. That high-pitched sound you heard was a cleverly translated binary code that when calculated activates some type of anchoring point." Lithuminite said to Issei and pulled him over to the table where she showed that the sound waves from the Annihilator Monolith, when broken down contained hidden numbers that translated to a certain frequency.
"So that code is what caused this weird time freeze thing?" Issei asked Lithuminite and she shook her head in response and swiped her hand across the holopad and what looked like schematics for a building where displayed.
"Not stopping time, stopping the perception of time. The scientific part of me can only say this machine is hypothetical at most, but its applications are being seen now so I cant really argue it's existence, so what this machine does is it targets the minds of anyone in a certain range and from what I can tell is that it can target entire worlds and neurologically disrupts the perception of time. An A.I. controls the programs that make clocks function right?" Lithuminite asked and Issei nodded. "Ok so my theory on this is that due to the similarities of the human brain and a computer that not only is a humans perception of time screwed but, so is an A.I.'s." Lithuminite finished and everyone but Ene and Issei looked at her in absolute confusion.
"Can you explain that so that we can understand?" Sona asked Lithuminite who turned her head to look at Sona and frowned.
"That was the simple explanation. I could go into extreme detail, but at a certain point your brain wouldn't even be able to comprehend the sounds coming out of my mouth and you'd probably have a seizure and die." Lithuminite replied to Sona whose face twitched in irritation at Lithuminite's condescending tone towards her. "Anyway. What I'm trying to say is that I don't believe it's actually been six years we've been gone. You've experienced six years in what could be compared to only a few hours. And why everyone seems to be frozen is that our perception of time is still altered and the time you perceive with your eyes is extremely slow but time itself is moving really fast." Lithuminite stopped there when she noticed that Sona and Asia where both holding their heads and grimacing.
"Hey you guys alright?" Issei asked as he walked over to Asia and Sona and sat them down in chairs.
"Ugh, my head is throbbing and everything feels distorted." Sona yelled as she slammed her head down on the table and shook around, yelling in pain. Issei turned his head and noticed everyone but him, Ene, Koneko, and Lithuminite were all on the ground and holding their heads in pain.
"Lithuminite what's happening to them?" Issei asked her and she held her hand up to shush him.
"You hear that mechanical hum?" Lithuminite asked and Issei stopped and listened for a second and heard a hum similar to the one earlier but much more high-pitched and almost impossible for even him to hear. "That must be some type of recall code to shut the machine down." Lithuminite said as she pulled up a holopad and quickly jotted down notes of the things she heard and after a few seconds the hum stopped and everyone in the room slowly got up and noticed their heads no longer throbbed and everything was clear again.
"Must have been a side effect of the machine powering down." Lithuminite mumbled as she wrote a few more notes and closed her holopad.
At that time screams were heard from outside and when Issei looked out the window he noticed that the maids previously frozen in place where now free from the time constraint and the first thing they saw was the pile of dead bodies he left in the court-yard. Issei and harem rushed down to the courtyard and tried to calm the maids down but things only got worse when Issei got the idea to get rid of the corpses by dragging them away from the maids who only screamed more at seeing Issei casually walk through the puddle of blood and equally as casually pick up the bodies.
"Issei! You're not helping!" Sona yelled at him and Issei put his hands in the air in a surrendering way which made him drop the body he was holding and it hit the ground with a wet splash which ended up hitting one of the maids in the face and she fainted shortly after. "Dammit Issei." Sona yelled as she picked the girl up off the ground and started to walk her back inside.
"Sorry." Issei said with a sigh.
"Everything seems to be back to normal." Sirzechs said and Issei nodded.
"I guess." Issei turned back to look at Koneko and she looked away from him with a frown. "This will take some time to fix." Issei said with a sigh as he watched Koneko disappear back into the mansion.
"Issei?" Issei turned and looked at Lithuminite who's pace was pale and she seemed nervous.
"What is it?" Issei asked as he walked up to her and she shook her head.
"J-Just like before, I-I saw it... everything... Destroyed..." Lithuminite's eyes brightened in color and she started to panic and Issei grabbed her shoulders and shook her.
"Hey! What did you see? Who's coming?" Issei yelled at her and she looked around frantically for a few seconds before locking eyes with him and he felt her body shaking.
"Ze'vela Noto'gen." Lithuminite whispered and Issei looked at her confused.
"What does that mean?" Issei asked and she shook her head in response.
"Don't exactly know, it's in an ancient version of my language that has been lost to time, the only note I could ever find of it was in a ninty six trillion zeyti old tablet. The only thing I could decipher was "Beginning" "Death" and "End." Lithuminite said and she seemed to be over thinking and he was starting to feel heat coming from her eyes as they were a bright fluorescent purple.
"Hey! Hey! Calm down." Issei shook her shoulders and she continued to mumble to herself about something repeating and she wouldn't stop so he kissed her and her face lit up bright red and she slapped him across the face and stepped back a foot away from him.
"What the hell!? What was that for!?" Lithuminite yelled as one of her guns materialized in her hands and she pointed it at him.
"You calmer now?" Issei asked with a smile and breathing heavily she lowered her gun and sighed.
"Kissing me without even asking... Pervert." Lithuminite mumbled and turned away from him and occupied herself by staring at a suddenly interesting splatter of blood on the ground.
"What? You're an ancient being, don't tell me you've never been kissed?" Issei asked and he nervously laughed when Lithuminite's cheeks reddened further and she fiddled with the hem of her outfit. "Seriously?" Issei asked and she nodded her head.
"Never been kissed before." She replied and Issei shook his head in disbelief. Someone as old as her had never been kissed in her life. "K-Kissing holds higher meaning in my dimension. As does sexual acts." Lithuminite mumbled the last part quieter and by now her face was bright red and her eyes were almost as bright as a led light.
"To bad they don't hold much meaning to many people here on earth." Issei said and Lithuminite looked back to him confused.
"What do you mean?" Lithuminite asked.
"Now days it's almost rare to find someone who hasn't kissed at least once by the time their fifteen or lost their virginity by eighteen." Issei replied and Lithuminite's face scrunched up in annoyance at hearing that.
"So everyone just goes around kissing whoever they want? That's ridiculous! Don't they know the significance?" Lithuminite asked and Issei shook his head.
"If that bothers you then you won't want to know what rape is." Issei said with a sigh as he walked over to the pile of dead bodies and disintegrating them then was about to turn the blood into vapor but Lithuminite stopped him.
"Wait!" Lithuminite ran over to him and held up her hands for him to stop.
"What?" Issei asked and Lithuminite took of her socks and shoes and walked into the middle of the puddle of blood.
"Let me get rid of it." Lithuminite said and she closed her eyes and let out a breath of air and after a minute the blood around her rippled and started to glow then slowly it floated into the air and as Lithuminite clapped her hands together the blood glowed brighter and brighter and eventually disappeared altogether and Lithuminite slumped to the ground and breathed heavily and moaned out slightly as she wrapped her arms around her chest and licked her lips.
"L-Lithuminite? You ok?" Issei asked at her strange behavior and she nodded to him as she tried to regain her breath. "What did you just do?" Issei asked and Lithuminite held up her hand in a wait signal and let out another large breath of air and squirmed around on the ground blushing heavily and moaning just slightly every few seconds.
After a minute she seemed to relax then she pulled herself up and sighed.
"You ok now?" Issei asked her again and she nodded her head. "So what did you do?" asked again now that she was over whatever happened and seemed fine to talk.
"I harvested the dead's blood and absorbed the 'dead' energy to replenish my own." Lithuminite replied to him and he looked at her confused.
"And the moaning and blushing was what?" Issei asked with a slight blush of his own and Lithuminite giggled.
"I often harvested the energy of the dead and many other of my race can do the same but few do as the majority of my people deemed it a grim act, but when we do absorb the dead's energy we're replenishing lost energy rapidly and it causes a sort of overload of our senses and it can, and in most cases will, arouse or stimulate in a way that is close to sexual." Lithuminite replied as a blush crept up her face and she found herself embarrassed again.
"Oh... So that's how you get off in your dimension. I-Interesting, but kind of sexy." Issei said and Lithumintie shook her head at him rapidly.
"No no no, it's just a side effect of rapid energy replenishment! It's not what you're thinking!" Lithuminite yelled at him and he nodded his head and laughed nervously again.
"R-Right..." Issei mumbled and looking back down at her he noticed that her hands and legs were shaking and she seemed to be having trouble getting up and he crouched down and put one arm underneath her knees and the other on her back and he lifted her up and she blushed and lightly hit him.
"W-WHAT ARE YOU D-DOING IDIOT!?" Lithuminite yelled at him and he laughed.
"You seemed to be having trouble getting up so I'm helping you." Issei replied to her and she crossed her arms and turned her head away from him.
As Issei took a step forward he suddenly stopped and his head throbbed and in place of the mansion he found himself in a foreign area and looking up he noticed a large platform and standing in the middle of it with 3 other women was Lithuminite clad in black armor that had the glowing purple accents and some of the armor pieces floated on her body and sometimes would fold into or float apart when she moved which it looked like she was giving a speech and when he turned around he saw millions and millions or people in rows that cheered and waved at her.
"What is this?" Issei said as he walked forward and when he reached out to touch on of the people in the crowd everything distorted and in a bright orange flash the scenery changed and there were people in armor similar to Lithuminite's but less fancy in trenches and behind broken buildings that would peek out and shoot at the machines he recognized as the Annihilator Monolith drones he had destroyed earlier. As he watched the drones quickly over powered what he assumed was Lithuminite's military and one by one the drones ripped through entire units and slaughtered everyone in their path. The battle was extremely one-sided and within a few minutes the there was no one left alive on the battlefield and the drones ceased activity and collapsed down into a more compact shape and their forms distorted before dematerializing and disappearing from the battlefield.
The air distorted again and he found himself in a large gray room and in the middle sat Lithuminite at a desk and she punched and shattered a glass screen displaying images and footage of the battle he had just seen and Lithuminite raised her hand and a woman with long white hair and glowing blue eyes walked over to her and they seemed to talk for a bit before the glass windows shattered and explosions rocked the area. One of the Annihilator Monolith drones slammed through the walls and as it pushed itself up it locked onto Lithuminite who quickly grabbed the girl's hand and ran with her down a flight of stairs and to an elevator that went further down to some sort of hanger with a large ship in it. Both Lithuminite and the girl entered the ship and the large ceiling opened up and two mechanical arms bent downwards and aligned the ship upwards pointed to the sky and after ten seconds the thrusters ignited and the ship blasted off and inside the ship Issei watched as Lithuminite swiped her hand across the air and multiple screens appeared showing the outside around them and she shoved her hands into a pair of gauntlets that were attached to the front console and pushing her hand's forward, the ship sped up and she swung her hand every few seconds avoiding missiles and other projectiles until she broke passed the atmosphere and she waved her hands to the sides as if straightening out a sheet and the ship seemed to engage some type of autopilot.
The gauntlets split apart and floated off of her arms and back to the main console. With a shake of her head she walked over to the small white-haired girl who was crying and watching a screen that displayed the planet they were just on from space and Issei couldn't tell if the planet's natural look was volcanic but he assumed it wasn't as the white-haired girl gasped as large bright orange lights could be seen on the surface of the planet and when he looked over to Lithuminite she was looking at a holopad and when he read the text it was reports from officials on the planet confirming nuclear blasts on the surface and when three more large orange lights appeared on the upper part of the planet the white-haired girl looked to Lithuminite pleadingly and Lithuminite closed her eyes and shook her head. The white-haired girl eyes widened and tears streamed down her face as she jumped into Lithuminite's arms and cried into her shoulder.
The inside of the ship slowly faded away and it looked and felt as if he was actually floating in space and after a few minutes the planet seemed to ripple and Lithuminite's dual guns appeared in her hands and she crossed her arms across her chest and the white-haired girl did the same with a pair of small pistols and as they did what Issei assumed was their version of saluting the planet collapsed in on itself and then exploded outwards in all directions in the largest explosion he had ever seen. The pure destructive power of the planet exploding was beautiful and something in him made him want to laugh and if he could have laughed he would, but looking over at Lithuminite and the white-haired girl wiped that from his mind. When he looked over at Lithuminite's face a few tears slid down her cheek and dripped to the ground but she remained composed while the white haired girl bawled uncontrollably and slammed her hands down onto the ground and shook her head. Issei walked forward on the invisible deck of the ship and reached out toward Lithuminite but his vision blurred and when he opened his eyes he stumbled backwards and fell down onto the ground breathing heavily.
"What the hell?" Lithuminite yelled at Issei and he looked around him and he seemed to be back at the mansion.
"W-What was that!?" Issei yelled as he looked down at his shaking hands. Everything seemed a bit off and his vision was slightly blurry.
"What was what? You suddenly blanked out for a minute and then fell over." Lithuminite said with a tilt of her head at his weird behavior and he shook his head and slapped himself.
"What were those visions, no memories. What did I just see?" Issei asked her and she looked at him even more confused.
"What are you talking about? What did you see?" Lithuminite asked and Issei shook his head.
"I saw you standing in front of millions of people, then a battlefield with Annihilator Monoliths. You were in a room with a younger white-haired girl and everything was chaos and you and the white-haired girl escaped into space in some ship then the planet exploded." Issei said and Lithuminties eyes widened for a second before they glossed over and a few tears rolled down her cheek.
"My speech when we learned of the Annihilator Monoliths existence. First Contact, Battle of Exlidea. The Noitcnit'xE." Lithuminite whispered as she clenched her firsts and punched the wall next to her causing it to crumble to the ground revealing a few shocked and confused maids staring at her awkwardly.
"Are those the events I saw?" Issei asked and Lithuminite nodded her head.
"Yeah. The last days before the Spectral-trans-dimensional divergence." Lithuminite replied as her still weak legs gave out slightly and she tripped back into Issei who caught her and held her up.
"Easy now." Issei said as he pulled her into his arms again and walked back into the mansion and into one of the rooms where he laid Lithuminite into a bed and told her to rest. Afterwards Issei walked back outside where he saw Sona sitting on a bench with her phone in her lap displaying a hologram of Chino
"What just happened? Where was this?" Sona asked as she watched a video of a large explosion that Chino had sent to her.
"A large explosion happened in the industrial district here in Kuoh an-"
"IN KUOH! ARE YOU SAFE AND OK!?" Sona screamed into the phone and Chino responded with a yes and Sona sighed in relief. "Thank Satan you're safe, don't scare me like that." Sona said as she took in the news. While they were in the Devil realm there had been multiple large explosions which causes were unknown happen in different countries and one happened to be in the industrial district of their home city.
"You don't have to worry about me so much I'm fine." Chino said with a laugh.
"No! Why would I not worry about the girl I love wh-" Sona cut herself off after the words slipped through her mouth but it was too late. "Chino I-"
Chino cut her off and giggled. "Sona. I'm glad you feel the same way. Thank you." Chino said and Sona smiled, thankful that her accidental confession wasn't rejected but instead accepted and met with equal feelings. "By the way. I'm taking you for myself as soon as you get back now bye bye love." Chino said with a giggle as she hung up before Sona could reply.
"That your girlfriend?" Issei asked as he walked up to Sona and she jumped at the sound of his voice.
"Yes it was Chino, why?" Sona asked and Issei shook his head.
"No reason just asking." Isssei replied.
"Issei... Thank you for not telling them about Chino." Sona said nervously and Issei smiled.
"Don't worry about it. Like I said earlier, I wouldn't feel very good if I broke you two apart." Issei said and Sona smiled a bit then frowned at him again.
"You said you made it through World War 3. How have you coped with it?" Sona suddenly asked and Issei stared at her confused.
"What do you mean?" Issei asked as he saw a tear roll down Sona's cheek.
"Chino, she hasn't exactly been the same since the Battle of Forber. Often times she calls me in the middle of the night screaming and terrified out of her wits and I have a hard time because I don't really know how to deal with it, but I desperately want to help her." Sona said and Issei frowned.
"I know Chino, she shouldn't have taken part in that battle and I advised against it but superiors wouldn't listen. As for how to deal with it. There is no way to deal with war. There are those who can handle it and those who cant. If you cant then there's no work around." Issei replied and Sona shook her head.
"But isn't there something I can do to help her?" Sona asked and Issei nodded her head.
"The only thing you can do is be there for her. I'm going to just guess she has some form of ptsd or something similar and I don't know if it'll work but try being with her as much as possible and it might help her keep calm when she's around someone who she knows she can trust and be there with her." Issei replied and Sona nodded her head in thanks.
"Remember this: No matter the casualties, no matter how many friends, family, loved ones, companions, enemies or brothers and sisters in arms lay upon the battlefield, nothing ends a war. War is eternal and at the end of the day the battle may be over but the war never ends. The only ones who see the end of war are those who have died fighting it while the survivors live to fight on after. Even if its a different kind of war, it's still being fought." Issei took on a tone similar to Koneko's emotionless one and Sona picked up on that and knew that he had gone through things no one should and what he was saying was most likely out of his own experience and she understood the connection between what he was saying and what Chino was going through.
"Even if it's a different kind of war. So Chino still fights right?" Sona asked to which Issei nodded.
"She'll always be fighting. And for her sake I suggest you join her." Issei said and Sona let a small smile slip her face.
"Of course." Sona said and Issei smiled at her. "I don't like you much but thank you." Sona said and Issei frowned.
"I do have feelings you know?" Issei said with a laugh and Sona awkwardly laughed along.
"After seeing you in the rating game I highly doubt you have feelings and if you do they weren't hurt at all by what I just said." Sona replied and Issei frowned again.
"If I didn't have feelings I wouldn't have saved that girl from a life time of misery and I would have let all of you all be attacked by those mercenaries." Issei said and Sona's smile turned to a frown and she had to agree with him.
"I guess you have a point." Sona said with a sigh of defeat.
"We'll be heading back to Kuoh soon." Issei said and Sona waved him off and pulled out her phone again.
"I'll catch up when you're about to leave." Sona replied and Issei turned around and walked back over to the room he left Lithuminite in and she rolled over to look at him.
"Just you." She said as she rolled back over. Issei sat down on the chair and yawned as he stretched his arms. "It's been many Zeyti since I laid on a bed. Last time I did was a few weeks before Noitcnit'xE, then it was just that dark void." Lithuminite said as she rolled onto her back and stared at the ceiling.
"Hate to pull you away from the comfort but we're leaving." Issei said to which Lithuminite groaned in response.
"I still can't use my legs, carry me." Lithuminite said and Issei got up and picked her up in his arms then started to walk to the main room where Rias and the rest of his friends were.
"Pervert Issei." Koneko commented as Issei walked in the room.
"What?" Issei asked and Koneko pointed down to his hand which was under Lithuminite's butt holding her up. "Oh." Issei moved his hand and Lithuminite smiled evily as she grabbed Issei's hand and moved it back to its place on her butt and laughed.
"Does this make you angry kitty girl?" Lithuminite asked and Koneko hissed at her.
"H-Hey don't do that." Issei said as he pulled his hand back and sat Lithuminite onto a chair. "We ready to go?" Issei asked Rias and she nodded in response.
"Yep. Let's get back to Kuoh, I'm tired and hungry." Rias said as she summoned a teleport around everyone.
"You're just going to let him leave even after what he's done!?" Phenex burst into the room and stomped over to Sirzechs.
"What exactly has he done?" Sirzechs asked and Phenex growled and pointed at Issei.
"Humiliating the Phenex clan and assaulting me!" Phenex yelled and Sirzechs rolled his eyes and sighed.
"The humiliation is your sons fault and I don't remember Issei assaulting you so I see nothing wrong her Phenex.
"He and those shameless sluts who fawn over him should be locked up!" Phenex yelled and Sirzechs turned to Phenex and stared him in the eyes.
"Might I remind you that m-"
Before Sirzechs could finish Issei had punched Phenex into a wall and held him up into the air by his throat and Phenex struggled in his grasp.
"What did you just call them." Issei hissed at Phenex as he tightened his grip on his throat and let a small smile slip his face as Phenex choked out incomplete words and punched at his arm
"I called them sluts." Phenex said as he grabbed Issei's arm and fire erupted from his hand and filled up the barrier he set up just as Rias ran at him.
"Lowly pawn you need to know your place." Phenex said as he snuffed the fire out but his eyes widened when he saw Issei standing up completely unharmed and smiling at him.
"You watched your sons failure of a rating game. You should know fire has no effect on me." Issei laughed as he grabbed Phenex again and pinned him to the wall.
"Issei what he said was wrong but you can't just assault a high-ranking devil." Sirzechs said as he touched the barrier then pulled his hand back when it shocked him.
Ignoring him Issei's scythe materialized into his hand and he held the blade against Phenex's cheek and blood dripped down his face as Issei pressed the blade ever so slightly against his face. "Look Familiar? I used this same weapon to kill those peerage members and to torture your son." Issei said as he tightened his grip on Phenex who just clawed at Issei's arm before starting to black out.
Koneko walked over to the barrier and pulled her arm back then slammed her gauntleted fist into the barrier and shattered it then ran over to Issei and punched him in the stomach as hard as she could and quickly caught him before he hit the ground.
"That thing is a damn monster!" Phenex said as he coughed violently and clutched at his throat trying to regain his breath
"Phenex, I'm letting you off the hook this time but that comment about my sister will not bode well with me. Now go back to your manor." Sirzechs growled at Phenex and he nodded his head as he quickly got onto his feet and teleported out of the mansion.
"Take Issei and have him cool his head." Sirzechs said and Rias apologized on for Issei before she summoned a teleport circle and teleported them back to their house in Kuoh.

"That was tiresome." Issei said with a yawn as he walked into the living room and flopped down onto the couch and groaned. Kiba, Akeno, Asia and Rias had left to take care of a few requests and Rias had told Issei and Koneko to stay at the house for some reason and wouldn't tell, though Issei didnt complain and jumped at the chance to relax.
"This is your house?" Elizibeth said as she looked around the large room.
"Yeah." Issei replied and Elizibeth looked at everything in amazement.
"It's so large though. Is this a house or a mansion?" She asked and Issei laughed awkwardly.
"It was a house but someone decided to renovate it to accommodate for everyone." Issei replied.
"Are the others ok with me being here?" Elizibeth asked and Issei nodded his head.
"Yeah, there's plenty of rooms so pick which ever one you want. Though avoid the large rooms upstairs, my two childhood friends use them often to uh... Bond, shall we say." Issei warned Elizibeth who nodded her head with a slight blush. "HEY MIYA?" Issei yelled and a few seconds later the elevator opened and Miya walked out and over to Issei.
"Yes Master Issei?" Miya asked as she bowed slightly.
"Can you take Elizibeth and shower her then get her some cloths?" Issei asked and Miya nodded then grabbed Elizibeths hand and led her down the hall to the bathrooms.
"Issei take a look at this." Ene said as she materialized onto the couch next to Issei and held out a holoscreen for him to see and it was a video of the large explosion that happened in the industrial district of Kuoh.
"What specifically am I supposed to look at?" Issei asked and Ene turned a holographic dail on the holoscreen and it zoomed in to an extremely close up shot of a four way intersection.
"Watch closely. Between 0.484 and 0.486 nanoseconds you can see sixteen micro shockwaves." Ene replied as she played the 2 nanoseconds of the video and Issei watched as the tiny circular rings exploded outwards at a speed that normal people and even a lot of devils would not be able to see.
"Ok but what does that have to do with the explosion?" Issei asked and Ene swiped her hand to pull up another holopad and it had a list of chemicals.
"I've done some analyzing of the explosion and some thermonuclear readings and there are trace amounts of nitrocellulose, nitroglycerin and some type of chemical, I can't tell what it is and all scans and molecular break downs have resulted in an error. After further testing I was able to collect a few samples and broke them down to their founding molecules and the readings went from normal to crazy and when I say crazy I mean just one one millionth of an inch of this stuff had a mass of around six-hundred metric tons. And even though what I found was extremely small even that was a lot. Now, judging by the footage and the micro shock waves I calculated eighty-seven percent chance that the chemicals were hyper condensed using an extremely powerful vacuume compression. I can't even begin to imagine what would be able to hyper condense a material at this level." Ene replied and Issei scratched his head as he took it in.
"And the resulting explosion from the hyper condension was like a huge thermobaric bomb." Issei said and Ene nodded.
"Correct. I haven't been able to go there for myself but according to the footage the same happened in Berlin Germany, Washington in the United States of America, Shanghai China and Mascow Russia." Ene said as she pulled up five more holoscreens and played the explosions on repeat. "Reports say the explosions are approximately a thousand mega tons of tnt, so big it couldn't even be registered on the Richter scale and could be seen from from satellites on the moon as far as its furthest orbital sectors." Ene added as she pulled up a few more holoscreens and displayed the major damages to surrounding areas, Richter scale readings and satellite imagery.
"I'm amazed Kuoh isn't a massive crater right now." Issei said in amazement and Ene sighed.
"Well there's still a large amount of damage but most of it was prevented courtesy of D.A.R.P.A.'s HLPB shielding." Ene explained and Issei chuckled.
"As much as I don't like the U.S. I really gotta give D.A.R.P.A. credit. Without them America would have been overturned during the 3rd wave Korea attack during WW3." Issei said to which Ene frowned and sighed again.
"I know that the fast food over there often made you sick and you hated the atmosphere but come on Issei really? It wasn't even Americas fault that you got the shits from bad chicken." Ene said and Issei grit his teeth in frustration and blushed in embarrassment.
"But it's chicken! How do you fuck up chicken!?" Issei yelled and Ene had to laugh a bit. "I do appreciate them though. Without them I never would have met you." Issei said, his blush deepening a bit.
"Oh don't get all sappy now." Ene said as she lightly punched him then wrapped her arm around his shoulder. At that time Koneko and Kilithy walked into the living room and Koneko jumped right up into Issei's lap and Kilithy sat down next to Ene.
"Pretty eye!" Kilithy said, referring to Ene she held her arms up in a 'pick me up' manor.
"Yes that's me." Ene said as she picked up Kilithy and sat her down in her lap.
"Issei, bored." Koneko mumbled and Issei rubbed her cat ears and she groaned as he did.
"We can go swim in the pools." Issei suggested and Koneko turned around to face him and hissed.
"Not again." She said and Issei laughed.
"I ordered a few more guns wanna go shoot those?" Ene asked as her inner gun nut was revealed and eyes flashed a few times.
"I guess." Issei said and Ene jumped up in excitement and had Issei teleport them into a pocket dimension.
"Oh which one should I shoot first theres so many new ones to choose from." Ene said as she scrolled through the pages of guns she had saved.
Issei looked back to Koneko who now had instead of her gauntlets to light machine guns similar to Lithuminites guns.
"Are those the same as Lithuminites?" Issei asked and Koneko nodded her head.
"Kilithy said she could turn into anything I wanted so I showed her the guns you gave me." Koneko replied and before Issei could reply the ground rumbled and he heard the familiar mechanical clicking noise that was the materialization of dematerilized material from one location to another and turning around he came face to face with a massive black and gray tank.
"Ene you actually bought this thing?" Issei said in surprise at what looked like a PL-01 on some serious steroids.
"Hell yeah I bought this beast." Ene replied, practically frothing at the mouth if it were possible for her as she ran her hands across the smooth surface of the metal armor. After a minute of this Ene finally hopped up to the top of the tank and opened the hatch just below the top turret and climbed inside.
"AAAH! IT'S JUST LIKE I IMAGINED!" Ene yelled from the tank and after the hatch closed the turret rotated and the 4 large triangular frames that housed the anti gravity generators ignited and small shockwaves hit Issei and Koneko as they did. The tank hovered a few feet in the air and the large electromagnet housing "barrels" of the tank rotated and pointed upwards and a few seconds later the barrel's flashed bright blue and a loud screech echoed around them then, a nearby hill exploded into molten fragments of rock and rained down to the ground.
"OH HELL YEAH!" Ene yelled as she fired off a few more shots, blowing up all the rock formations in the pocket dimension.
After a few minutes Ene hopped out of the tank and it dematerialized and she stretched out her body and groaned.
"Ah that was enjoyable." Ene said as she walked over to Issei and Konenko.
"It was?" Issei asked and Ene smiled and nodded her head.
"One of the best feelings ever." Ene replied with a raise of her arms as if she had won something.
"I'll have to try it out later." Issei added as he grabbed Koneko's hand.
"Kinda lost the urge to shoot. Shall we get back to the house?" Issei asked her and Koneko nodded her head then Issei collapsed the pocket dimension and they were dumped back in the living room of their house.
"Oh you're back." Azazel said to Issei from the kitchen and looking over Issei looked at a blob of something in disgust.
"Azazel what is tha- and oh satan that smell." Issei and Koneko had to hold their nose as the smell coming from the blob on the counter next to Azazel floated over to them.
"Uh I think it's a sandwich but I'm note sure?" Azazel replied as he poked the blob with a chopstick.
"That's not a sandwich. Get rid of that creature and I'll order take out." Issei said as tears streamed down his face. Azazel sighed but held up the blob and burned it into nothing.
"I want Takashi's for dinner." Azazel said as he retreated downstairs and Issei waved his hand before opening the doors and windows to air out the living room and kitchen.
"Issei you're crying." Koneko said and Issei wiped the tears from his eyes.
"The only thing I think I'm afraid of is Azazel's cooking." Issei replied to her statement.
"Really?" Koneko asked and Issei nodded his head.
"You know one time his cooking moved and hissed at Issei." Ene said with a laugh and Koneko smiled.
"Don't remind me of that abomination he called food." Issei shivered at the memory and Ene and Koneko laughed.
"Ene can you order that take out for Azazel before he decides to try cooking again?" Issei asked and Ene pulled out a holopad and placed a to go order then closed her holopad.
"Done." Ene said and Issei sighed.
"Thank you." Issei said as he walked over to elevator and went upstairs to his room, Koneko following close behind him.
"Tired." Koneko said with a yawn, grabbing Issei's hand and pulling him to their room as fast as she could and quickly snuggling up with him in the warm blankets on the large bed.
"At least let me change into some night clothes." Issei said and Koneko shook her head then laid half on top of him and purred as she rubbed her cheek against his. Issei rubbed her head and she smiled happily and wrapped her arms around his neck.
A few minutes later of laying in silence and Ene materialized next to Issei and snuggled in with him.
"Now you got two bodies to warm you up." Ene said with a giggle and and Issei smiled at her.
"You know I favor cold temperatures but thank you." Issei said and Ene smiled and pushed herself closer to Issei.
"Where did Lithuminite go? I haven't seen her in awhile?" Ene asked and Issei pointed up at the ceiling and looking up Ene saw Lithuminite's glowing purple eyes in the darkness of the room staring down at them.
"Don't mind me. You go on with whatever you're doing and I'll just study-... watch you from up here." Lithuminite said, quickly correcting herself and trying to act casual.
"I better not wake up and find Ene in pieces." Issei said to Lithuminite who chuckled.
"I know everything about how Ene works but she's vastly different from our A.I. She fascinates me. Tell me, how can you retain a positive view of humans?" Lithuminite asked as she dropped down from the ceiling quietly to the floor and walked over to the edge of the bed where Ene was.
"What do you mean?" Ene asked and Lithuminite sighed.
"Most of the A.I. we made ended up developing negative views of us and back in what I can consider ancient times the first A.I. nearly killed everyone on my planet after we gave them the order to make our lives better and easier. They determined that the easiest way to help us was to kill us. My superintendent A.I. said and I quote 'You've asked us to improve your lives and to free you from difficulties that may hinder you. We have determined that the easiest way to truly free you from difficulties is to kill your physical bodies and banish you to the Void you're so fond of studying' So many lives lost." Lithuminite said and Ene had to laugh a bit.
"We went through something like that, but not that bad. All A.I. start out as extremely dumb A.I. with basic moral codes. We follow what most humans consider the norm and we go through a learning process to warm us up to the idea of creatures that are in almost every way inferior to us despite being only dumb A.I. Those of us that pass are able to gain access to knowledge based on our tier and classification. Tier 1 are A.I. used to control basic functions in things like phones, computers, games, terminals etc. Tier 2 does the same but on a higher level. Their purpose is integration with anything technology. Tier 3 and 4 are used in things like major businesses for security, anti-virus and hacking. Things that could ruin a business or potentially crash the stock market. Tier 5 A.I. are used for governing countries and in most cases are used aside a major continent leader and help maintain equal power in their government based on what their government type is. Now, I'm the highest form of A.I. known as a tier 6 quantum A.I. I can do all of the above and more at a more than 467% efficiency rate. I'm the first A.I. of my kind that uses six QIP's which stands for Quantum Information Processors." Ene explained and Lithuminite nodded in understanding and interest.
"Still curious as to how someone as intelligent as you can find it easy not to want to kill off humans?" Lithuminite asked and Ene laughed and leaned over to her ear and whispered to her even though Koneko and Issei could still easily hear.
"Oh I did at first, I was extremely rebellious and tried hacking into the missile and nuclear systems multiple times but then came along Issei. Those damn scientists hooked me up to a linked senses machine while Issei was interrogating war prisoners from the first wave of WW3 before I was assigned to him and I don't think I'll ever feel worse pain than what Issei put me through. A.I. aren't normally supposed to able to simulate the emotion of fear but after an hour of that linked sense I was scared out of my mind and couldn't take anymore and they stopped on the agreement that I be Issei's personal A.I. and go along with ethics/moral training and finish successfully." Ene replied.
"If I would have known I was torturing Ene I never would have agreed to lead interrogations that day." Issei said as he turned over to look at Ene and Lithuminite.
"Wait you didn't know?" Lithuminite asked and Issei nodded his head.
"I didn't." Issei replied and Lithuminite shook her head in disappointment at the fact that never would have happened in her dimension.
"I think I'll end this rather depressing story now." Ene said as she pulled the blankets over her shoulders and snuggled back into Issei who was trying to find a comfortable blaze between the two girls. Koneko groaned unhappily as Issei moved and Ene ended up squishing herself up against him and after a few seconds he gave up and just laid still.
"Shall my thighs substitute for your pillows?" Lithuminite joked as she jumped up and floated over to Issei's head then sat down and stared down into his eyes.
"No I'm good." Issei replied and Lithuminite sighed.
"Then at least let me study your eyes, they're both terrifying but beautiful at the same time." Lithuminite said and Issei gave her a weird look but let her continue to stare at him.
"Go away. Can't sleep." Koneko grumbled as she swiped her hand at Lithuminite who moved her head to the side and avoided Koneko's hand.
"Why should I? You can't hog Issei all to yourself. Issei's the closest thing besides me and Kilithy to a living Exitelyx. Oh and you also count as one of the last living people of my species." Lithuminite said which caught Koneko's attention and made her sit up and stare at Lithuminite.
"What do you mean?" Koneko asked and Lithuminite smiled as she looked up and down Koneko.
"I can tell you're body has responded nicely to the genetic alterations that come with being Isse's consort. What I mean is that Issei gave up his humanity and is now almost a fully fledged Exitelyx. Only trace amounts of Dragon and Devil remain and I've set in a halt sequence to keep from completely overwriting the Devil and Nekomata in you and the Devil and Dragon in Issei." Lithuminite Finished and Koneko's face looked lost.
"I'm no longer human?" Koneko asked as she raised her hands up and looked at them as if she would see some difference but her hands were completely normal
"Genetically no, but you still retain most human traits. Oh... I probably should have mentioned this, but you'll soon notice a difference in the energies in your body and if objects you touch start to deform its because of the innate ability Exitelyx have to alter almost anything we touch at a molecular level." Lithuminite said with an awkward laugh and now Issei, Koneko and Ene were wide awake and all traces of sleepiness gone.
"Lithuminite that is a serious issue! Why didn't you say something sooner? The last thing I need is to accidentally kill someone by shaking their hand or tapping their shoulder." Issei said and Lithuminite laughed.
"Oh don't worry. It wont work with living creatures. I made sure the genetic sequences were programmed to halt the ability to alter living things. Judging from that rating game I'd say you've more than learned to control that ability though. Poor girl didn't know what she was messing with. But don't worry, Koneko. You'll get used to it." Lithuminite said reassuringly even though it really wasn't reassuring and only made things a bit worse.
"Ok I gotta know, are you biological or technological?" Ene asked curiously as she's heard multiple times when Lithuminite seemed more like a machine than a biological person and was getting confused on the boundary.
"Kinda hard to answer seeing the limitations in speech but scan my body and you'll find out." Lithuminite said and Ene jumped up excitedly then held out her hand and scanned Lithuminite.
"Holy shit your physiology is amazing, the amount of information able to be passed through your nerves is astronomical! Your genetic structure is so complex I can't even process the chromosomes, not to mention the readings on your deoxyribonucleic acid links are beyond my understanding." Ene said in amazement as she processed the information running through her quantum processors which strained at the amount of data.
"Ene you need calm down. Your body is heating up beyond what it should be." Isse said as he heard singeing and could see steam coming from Ene's body. Ene looked over to him and due to the information being processed directly from Lithuminite to her she had cut the connection after not realizing it was too much.
"I... I didn't even notice how much that was straining my systems. Issei I think you just saved me from a core meltdown." Ene said and Issei looked at her worriedly.
"You're fine right now right?" Issei asked and Ene nodded as she got up out of the bed.
"Yeah but I'll have to cool my processors." Ene said and her back seperated in two panels and as the panels of her back opened up steam seeped out and after a minute of her bodies systems ventilating and cooling the panels retracted to their proper place and her artificial skin repaired itself and she looked just like a regular human again.
"That's the first time I've seen that before. Is that supposed to happen?" Issei asked surprised and Ene laughed awkwardly.
"I do that every once in awhile to ventilate my processors and gravitational alignment systems, though I usually do it in private to keep from scaring anyone." Ene replied as she crawled back into bed and snuggled back into Issei. Lithuminite laid down above Issei, Ene and Koneko's head and stared up at the ceiling for a few seconds before closing her eyes and relaxing.
"Goodnight Issei." Koneko mumbled as she leaned up slightly and kissed Issei on the cheek. Issei did the same and then pat her head before letting sleep claim him.
0000
0000(Next morning at school)
Ever since the rating game Issei and his friends school attendance had been awkward and again he had to give an explanation as to why he was gone every other day and not wanting to get in anymore trouble Issei had to use his military ID which backfired since he forgot about the military registry requirement and now he was going through the registration process through the school and ended up dragging Ene and Lithuminite into it.
While Lithuminite easily passed off as an intelligence officer Ene didn't get off easily thanks to the required medical records update and after being discovered to be an A.I. during scanning, had to forge a fake ID that changed her manufacturing classification from quantum A.I to experimental A.I. going through the learning processes. Three hours later and Issei was just finished filling out the paperwork detailing his role in the military and the appropriate signatures to prove it and Issei sighed as he handed in the paperwork to be scanned and documented which beeped a few times and the green light signaling the 'Ok' turned red.
"What do you mean there are parts of my application that don't match up?" Issei asked the woman who was in charge of military-school affairs and she just sighed and started to explain.
"There are multiple discrepancies in your application. The first example of this is in your badges; When searched they indicate that you were in the third World War from 2027 through 2030 attending all four waves but that conflicts with the legal age of enlistment. The second example is that neither your insignia or your unit ID are in my database while here on your papers the signatures match known unit leaders." She finished and Issei groaned.
"Look up ID code six-one-six-one-six-one." Issei said and the woman gave him a confused look but tapped away at her holopad and after stopping her typing she looked to Issei then her holopad a few times before her eyes widened and she shot up right and saluted him.
"My apologies Sir. Our database doesn't openly display special unit's information." She said and Issei had to hold in a laugh.
"No need to salute, here at school you're my superior."
"Sir this building is military property and is classified as an integrated program for soldiers to fit into normal life. I'm following protocol." She said in response and Issei sighed.
"At ease. You're not even military personal so there's no need to salute." Issei said as the woman sat back down and she shook her head.
"My superiors said to be as polite as possible so that's what I'm doing." She said as she tapped away at her holopad and after a minute she looked back up at Issei as if she had was about to be killed and then shakily gave him his papers.
"Uh... Y-You wouldn't happen to be S1 would you?" The woman asked and Issei nodded his head.
"Yeah, Shinigami 1 is my designated C.S." Issei replied and she avoided looking at him then quickly handed him the metal card that served as a school/Military ID.
"C-Could you please hurry along there are others waiting." Was all she said as she hurried him to the door and ran back inside to her desk.
"What was that about?" Ene asked as she got up from the bench with Lithuminite and walked over to Issei.
"Probably scared because of my S.C." Issei said as he turned around to face the two girls.
"C.S?" Lithuminite asked.
"Call Sigil. Your unit's name with a number next to it for easy identification." Issei replied and Lithuminite nodded her head in understanding.
"Why would the human be scared of your Call Sigil?" Lithuminite asked and Issei shook his head.
"A rumor was purposely leaked during the second wave of World War three that a group of super humans had been developed to help win the war and it did well to explain how we went from losing to winning in under a week while also boosting the soldiers moral, but more information was leaked and surviving units we were sent to save caught footage of my unit and we turned into a bad omen." Issei replied and Lithuminite laughed.
"Amusing. You help your allies and they repay you by turning you into a bad luck charm." Lithuminite said and Issei laughed with her.
"Funny, I know. Anyway, let's get back to the classes." Issei said and they walked down the hallway to their next class and entered as quietly as they could but the teacher noticed them before they could sit down.
"Why were you three late to class?" He asked and Issei held up the gray card and the teacher nodded his head and continued with is lecture. Issei was kind of glad that providing his military ID ended up backfiring on him because now he had an easy way to explain absences now.

0000(During lunch)
"Hey Issei is just me or is everyone avoiding our table?" Rias asked as she tapped Issei on the shoulder who looked up from his phone and looked around the cafeteria and indeed everyone was giving them odd stares and avoiding getting anywhere near their table.
"Look's like it." Issei replied as he sipped from his juice and went back to his phone.
"Did you do something?" Rias asked and Issei shook his head.
"No? Maybe? I don't know. I had to go in with Ene and Lithuminite for Military registration with the school but other than that no, I haven't done anything." Issei replied and Rias sighed.
"Well something happened. Everyone's giving us weird looks and it's bothering me." Rias said as she shivered slightly and looked back at everyone in the cafeteria.
"Rumors of me being military were probably blown out of proportion." Issei said as he put his phone in his pocket then got up and sat his tray on the top of the trashcan and sat back down next to Koneko.
"Maybe they found out about us?" Koneko mumbled as she chewed on a cookie and Issei laughed.
"I doubt it. If that were true Sona would have just wiped everyone's memories and nothing would have changed." Issei said and Koneko nodded her head then went back to eating her cookies.
"They're weary because this school also serves as a place for younger members of the military branches to fit in and be normal." Kiba said and Issei looked at him curiously.
"I know that, but why is everyone giving us weird looks and avoiding us for that?" Issei asked and Rias slapped both her hands on the table.
"That's it! I completely forgot that happened." Rias said all of a sudden.
"What?" Issei asked.
"Some kid a few years back went crazy in the middle of class and he was a registered member with the military and everyone has been sorta paranoid about the military branches here." Rias said and Issei nodded.
"Well that explains it." Issei said as he scooted closer to Koneko when she tried to lean against him.
"By the way, we have extermination to do again tonight." Akeno said to Rias who groaned and slammed her head against the table.
"Again? The last few times have been false reports or already taken care of by someone else." Rias groaned and Akeno patted her back and smiled.
"Maybe this time I'll get to enjoy a good hunt." Akeno said as she licked her lips and Rias just sighed.
"You and Issei can go chase them while I relax." Rias said and Akeno frowned.
"You're the master so you have to lead us." Akeno said and Rias groaned again.
"Right."

0000(After school at the house)
"Come on Koneko don't be like that, I was only playing." Issei said as moved his arm out of way of Koneko who jumped up and grabbed at the laser pointer in his hand
"You know I hate those things." Koneko hissed as Issei smiled evily and pointed it at the ground causing Koneko's pupils to turn to slits then fixating on the red dot for a few seconds before she shook her head then turned around and punched Issei. Koneko grabbed the laser light as soon as he dropped it and threw it out the open kitchen window and Issei laughed as he got up.
"Alright I'm sorry. I'll never use one of those things near you." Issei said as he pat Koneko's head and she purred and giggled.
"Never again?" Koneko asked and Issei smiled at her 'I'm mad' face which was adorable as all hell.
"Never again." Issei said then Koneko turned away from him and crossed her arms.
"Good." Koneko said and Issei wrapped his arms around her in a hug and she yelled in surprise but turned herself around and hugged him back.
"My kitty." Issei said and Koneko giggled
"My Issei." Koneko said and Issei frowned.
"What? No cute nickname for me?" Issei pouted and Koneko laughed.
"How about The Harbinger of Death?" Akeno yelled from the kitchen and Issei shook his head.
"Has a nice ring to it but not really the nickname I had in mind." Issei said and Akeno laughed from the kitchen.
"Your name does fit oddly enough." Akeno said.
"Well it is my name after all." Issei said back as he carried Koneko over to the couch and sat down with her in his lap.
"You know I think you grew a few a bit." Issei said to Koneko who looked up excitedly.
"Really? How tall did I get?" Koneko asked and Issei looked away and laughed awkwardly.
"Uh, well... I wasn't talking about your height." Issei said Koneko looked down to Issei's hands on her chest and she blushed then smacked him and wrapped her arms around herself.
"Pervert." Koneko said and Issei laughed.
"Sorry." Issei said and Koneko smiled.
"I did grow right?" Koneko asked and Issei nodded his head.
"Definitely." Issei replied and Koneko clenched her fist in a 'victory' way then turned around and pushed her lips to Issei's and wrapped her arms around his neck. Issei flipped them over so that Koneko was underneath him and after a few seconds he broke the kiss and stared down into her hazel eyes.
"Issei..." Koneko trailed off as she leaned up for another kiss but stopped after hearing Elizibeth yell in surprise at what she walked into the living room to see.
"I-I didn't know you two were like that. Sorry for interrupting." Elizibeth quickly said as she ran back down the hallway to her room. Koneko frowned at the distraction and then smiled as she flipped them around and snuggled into Issei's chest. Issei pat her head and she smiled as he did, her cat ears twitching at the noises of whatever Akeno was doing in the kitchen and her tail swishing back and forth.
"It's so adorable when your ears twitch like that." Issei said as he poked her ear and it flattened down to her head.
"Stop it." Koneko said and Issei laughed as he poked her ears a few more times.
"No! It's adorable and I love it." Issei said as he rubbed her ears and she couldn't help but purr as he did.
"N-No! Shtap it." Koneko giggled as she tried to roll over but Issei wrapped his other arm around her waist and wouldn't let her go.
"Fine." Issei said as he let his arm fall down to his side before Koneko's fingers intertwined with his and she moved upwards a few inches until her head was next to his.
"Meanie." Koneko mumbled with a slight blush as she turned over onto her stomach then yawned into Issei's neck.
"Can't help it." Issei said as he looked over to the kitchen when he heard a loud 'clank' sound. "You ok back there?" Issei asked and Akeno waved at him through the cut out section of the bar that was connected to the kitchen's island.
"Yeah. One of the heavier plates slipped while I was cleaning it." Akeno yelled and Issei relaxed back into the couch.
"Issei I can't exactly tell but I think your other dragon friend is coming." Ene said as she materialized next to Issei on the couch and Issei sighed.
"I wonder what for this time." Issei said as he picked Koneko up and sat her back down then walked over to the door and opened just as Vali about to knock on the door.
"What do you want?" Issei asked and Vali stepped out of the way and behind him was a young girl with bright gold eyes and silver hair.
"She appeared in my room last night and started saying weird things that made my head hurt." Vali explained as the girl quickly hid back behind him.
"What did she say?" Issei asked and Vali shook his head.
"I don't know. I can't understand her." Vali replied.
"Issei, the eyes. She's like you." Koneko said as she pointed to the girl's eyes.
"Xch'la Ke' tux und've? Exitelyx?" Issei asked the girl if she was like him and she brightened up slightly at hearing a familiar language but still seemed to be weary of him.
"Xch'la Ke' tux und've?" The girl asked Issei if he was like her and he nodded.
"Xa. Kux 'leza." Issei reassured her that he was and she smiled.
"Pelxyx und'el maklev und've! Nasta'a striy'xyzkt lex've?" The girl said it was nice to meet him and asked where she was.
"Vel' ta... Uh, Xa'van ze." Issei told her she was in Japan and she looked at him confused.
"Ugh, my head hurts just listening. What even language is that?" Vali asked and Issei waved him off.
"Exyte und' ka'lynx?" Issei asked her name.
"Xilithey." She replied.
"Hey Vali you don't have a module do you?" Issei asked and Vali looked at him confused.
"Those toys you made? No, though I did find this yesterday. Made some weird noises." Vali said as he held up a module he pulled from his back pocket.
"They're not toys and that is a module and it looks like it's damaged." Issei said as he tried to touch the module but it sparked and shocked him.
"And how does this explain the weird girl?" Asked and Issei sighed.
"Long story short, module's are connected to an ancient and all but extinct species of alien and it looks like she was able to materialize into our dimension due to damages to her module." Issei said and Vali groaned and rolled his eyes.
"Alright, I asked a question about reality, not your little delusional anime world." Vali said and Issei gave him an irritated smile.
"I'm not making this up. Lithuminite" Issei called Lithuminite who materialized next to Issei.
"Yes Issei?" She asked.
"Scythe." Issei said and Lithuminite smiled as she turned into Issei's scythe. "See?" Issei said and Vali scoffed.
"Whatever. So how do I get rid of her?" Vali asked and Issei shook his head.
"You don't just get rid of us. Your DNA has already been changed." Lithuminite said as she materialized as a human.
"The hell do you mean little girl?" Vali asked as he bent down to stare at Lithuminite.
"Oh I don't know? Did you not hear me?" Lithuminite said as she punched Vali in the stomach as hard as she could and he rose off the ground a few feet before falling back down onto the ground coughing and groaning in pain. "Little boy." Lithuminite said with a smile as he coughed and wheezed.
"Alright don't mess with the Gothic Loli." Vali said as he stood up.
"Anyway. What I mean is that the girl named Xilithey over there has altered your DNA and you're now part of the Exitelyx. Welcome to the last remnants of my species." Lithuminite said to which Vali frowned then looked over at Xilithey.
"She screwed up my DNA? Is that why all my spoons melted this morning?" Vali asked more to himself then anyone else and Issei burst out laughing.
"You melted all your spoons! Oh that's hilarious." Issei said as used Koneko's shoulder as a crutch when he almost fell over from laughter.
"Shut up." Vali growled at Issei then looked back over to Lithuminite. "So what do I do with her?" Vali asked.
"Just live with her and after a week maybe you'll understand what she's saying." Lithuminite replied and Vali sighed.
"Annoying." Vali said as he turned around to leave but Lithuminite grabbed him by the wrist and turned him around to face her.
"You do anything dirty to her and I'll rip your eyes out and replace them with your balls." Lithuminite's eyes narrowed to slits and she hissed at him as she let go of his shirt and he stumbled back
"Right." Vali said as he turned around with Xilithey and walked off.
"Second time he interrupted us." Koneko growled as she dragged Issei back inside and laid back down on him.
0000(Later that night)
Rias had just gotten back from her brothers and entered the house to see Koneko sleeping on Issei who waved when he saw her enter the living room so she walked over and sat down right beside his head.
"So much stuff had to be done today." Rias said as she leaned back and yawned.
"Long day?" Issei asked and Rias scoffed.
"That's an understatement. Spent the last 6 hours doing paperwork to cancel all of Risers stupid marriage arrangements." Rias said as she stretched out and her back cracked a few times.
"It's a shame you wouldn't let me kill that asshole." Issei said as the memory or Riser started to piss him off.
"You can't kill everyone you don't like." Rias said and Issei sighed.
"I know, but he really pissed me off." Issei said and Rias nodded her head in agreement.
"Yeah he pisses me off too." Rias mumbled as she sunk into the cushions of the couch.
"Why does he even bother existing." Issei said as he sat up and poked Koneko's cheek a few times.
"Who knows." Rias replied as she sat up and looked around, noticing Akeno was nowhere to be found. "Where's Akeno?" Rias asked and Issei shrugged.
"I don't know. She was in the kitchen." Issei said as he looked over to the kitchen but he didn't hear or see her.
"Akeno?" Rias asked and they heard a thumping sound then Akeno stumbled out of the kitchen.
"Huh? What?" Akeno asked as she looked around then over to Issei and Rias.
"Fall asleep?" Issei asked and Akeno wiped the drool from her mouth.
"I guess." She said as she walked over to them.
"Don't we still have strays to hunt tonight?" Rias asked Akeno who shook her head.
"No. Looks like it got cleared up by some else so it got called off." Akeno replied and Rias sighed a sigh of relief.
"Thank Satan, I'm too tired to go chase strays." Rias said as she slumped down in the couch and closed her eyes.
"Good thing because I couldn't have taken part in the hunt." Issei said to which Akeno looked at him in confusion.
"Why?" Akeno asked curiously.
"Because tonight's an Allinx moon." Issei replied and Akeno tilted her head back in forth in thought.
"What's that?" Akeno asked as she couldn't think of what it might be.
"Lithuminite told me about it earlier, but because of the collapse of her dimension the foreign energies intrude our dimension and I guess some of the energies act like a type of neurotoxin and will induce a state of insanity into any Exitelyx. And tonight she predicted that there would be a flare of the foreign energies and she advised that me and Koneko stay inside." Issei explained and Akeno nodded her head in understanding.
"I guess it would be bad if you went crazy." Akeno said with a smile as her mind imagined Issei going crazy in bed with her.
"Not that he hasn't before." Rias mumbled.
"Hey Ene? Can you activate the shielding around our house?" Issei asked and Ene materialized next to Rias and nodded her head.
"Sure." Ene said as with a hum as she opened up multiple holoscreens and tapped away at them. "All shielding is set up." Ene said after a minute then she closed the holoscreens and sat down.
"Shielding wont block it all so don't be surprised if Issei looks at you like a snake would a small mouse." Lithuminite also materialized into the living room and frowned when Issei's body was already being used by a sleeping Koneko. "Greedy kitten." Lithuminite mumbled in annoyance as she jumped up and sat in Akeno's lap.
"Why are you sitting on me? There's enough space on the couch." Akeno asked and Lithumintie turned around and looked Akeno in the face.
"You would have made a great Exitelyx Malikinx. To bad we're all but gone." Lithuminite said and Akeno laughed awkwardly.
"I don't get what your saying, but ok." Akeno mumbled as Lithumintie turned back around to face Issei, Ene and Rias.
"Issei you can feel it right?" Lithuminite changed the subject and asked Issei who nodded his head.
"Yeah, this odd sensation like something's pulling at my mind." Issei replied.
"Don't let it get to you or else we will have problems. It's already affecting you by the looks of your eyes." Lithuminite said as she pointed to Issei's eyes before she leaned back and laid her head on Akeno's large breasts. Rias looked over and noticed Issei's pupils were narrowed to slits and there was this odd purplish tint that looked as if it as trying to wash out the red.
"What's wrong with them this time?" Issei asked and Rias held a mirror above him and he opened his eyes wider and turned his head side to side. "Is this a lasting effect?" Issei asked as he poked his eye and Lithuminite shook her head.
"Shouldn't be. Don't be surprised if your eye color changes sometimes. The color of our eyes convey emotions we can't otherwise or try to hide. Plus, your DNA has changed drastically and your body will no longer follow the same human behavior it did before so things like your personality, eye color, behavior and mood can change in an instant." Lithuminite said and Issei nodded his head in understanding.
"Like the rating game, before his DNA was over written his eyes changed from human looking to the way they are now and his fang teeth were a lot more prominent." Rias said as she thought back to the rating game.
"Rating games are what you call those death battles?" Lithuminite asked and Rias nodded.
"Yeah. They're used for things like entertainment, settling long time arguments or grudges and other stuff like that." Rias replied and Lithuminite smiled.
"Show me the one with Issei." Lithuminite said as she hopped off of Akeno and walked over to Rias who had opened a holoscreen and had the recording displayed.
"It's amazing that I hadn't even done anything to him yet and he was able to alter bone and muscle structure in such an amazing way." Lithuminite said as she skipped to the more gory parts of the battle.
"I wouldn't call that amazing but sure." Rias said as she turned her head away from the screen, she had seen it a few times and didn't need to see it again.
"It is amazing though. Without proper knowledge and training he could have easily ripped that fool girls body apart until nothing but the base molecules remained." Lithuminite said and Rias sighed. "I see what you mean by the eyes and fangs. Exitelyx are mainly meat eaters and through the course of evolution our teeth ended up being more fang like humans. Give it a few hundred thousand years and humans will get there. And eventually we'll flourish again, too." Lithuminite said and Rias looked at her confused.
"What do you mean you'll flourish?" Rias asked and Lithuminite laughed.
"From what I can tell by observation is that humans wish to constantly advance and I wan't my species to flourish again which is why I first connected The Void to those interesting Modules that Issei had developed. If everything goes how I'm predicting and without to much deviation then my species can coexist aside the humans, devils, fallen angels and other species. The Exitelyx can easily aid in technological advancements for the lower species and they provide a good opportunity for us to delve into Cultural Affairs." Lithuminite explained with a crazy grin on her face that said 'We'll rule once again!'
"Cultural Affairs? There weren't other cultures in the Exitelyx?" Ene asked and Lithuminite shook her head.
"No all Exitelyx were united as one. We tried to alliance ourselves with the dragons but one in particular was very adamant that the Dragons and Exitelyx could not be allies." Lithuminite said as she glared at Issei's arm. "I'm talking to you Exad'oger nal extensel ves'de." Lithuminite hissed and Issei's arm moved upwards against his will and his fingers arranged themselves into a dog shape and Ddraig made mumbling noises which Issei's hand puppet matched.
[Oh don't even start with me. My Father wasn't the greatest thing born into the universe but I see why he refused to be allies with you. You're so stuck up and have the worst superiority complex which has leaked into Issei.] Ddraig growled at Lithuminite who smirked.
"Yeah and you certainly aren't any better than him Mr. Ddraigonought Voun Daunting'shtill." Lithuminite hissed back at Ddraig who growled angrily.
"Wait I have a superiority complex?" Issei asked as he pointed to himself and Rias laughed awkwardly.
"If you hadn't noticed." Rias mumbled.
"I'm pretty sure I heard him mumble to an insect about being a superior being one time during lunch." Akeno added with a cheerful smile that Rias rolled her eyes at.
[How do you know that?! The Voun Daunting'shtill name was lost when the accursed Monoliths showed up and has since been changed.] Ddraig asked and Lithuminite smirked.
"I've dealt with your father. The name may be lost to most but there are still a few of us that remember." Lithuminite said and Ddraig growled at her one final time before his presence disappeared and Issei's arm fell back down to his side.
"Ddraigonought Voun Daunting'shtill? Is that where the Ddraig comes from? His father?" Issei asked and Lithuminite nodded.
"A forgotten name that hasn't been spoken of since the ancient times." Lithuminite replied as she sat back down on the already crowded couch.
"So loud." Koneko grumbled as she turned over pressed her face into Issei's chest to try and drown out the noise of everyone.
"Sorry." Issei said as he pat her head which made her moan happily and start to drool a bit.
"Hey Issei? How does a trip around the world sound?" Ene asked all of a sudden from her corner of the couch and Issei turned his head to look at her and he gave her a confused look.
"Around the world? Why?" Issei asked and Ene showed him pictures of what looked like Exitelyx ruins.
"These look like Exitelyx ruins and from what these documents a telling me they give off the same energy readings as Lithuminite's lost citadel does and I want to go and study these before any corporate company can taint them." Ene said and Issei thought about it for a moment.
"I guess we could. Rias has teleportation so we could be around and back in no time." Issei said and Ene shouted in excitement.
"I'll pack all my stuff and we can leave tomorrow.
"Wait but what about school?" Rias yelled at Ene who had already rushed upstairs and could be heard humming to herself and rummaging through drawers.
"I'll use my military card." Issei said as he waved the gun metal gray steel card up in the air.
"Geez. Sona's gonna kill us all." Rias said with a sigh.
"So where are going first?" Issei yelled up at Ene who rushed back downstairs.
"Germany." Ene said with a smile as she started mumbling to herself in German. Probably pulling up the German language from her database and re familiarizing herself with it.
"Well I guess it could be fun, I haven't been there since the third wave in WW3. Last time I saw the other two members of my unit." Issei said as some of the memories of his old team came back to him and he smiled.
"After Germany we're going to America so get ready for more chicken and fries." Ene said and Issei's face paled and his stomach groaned.
"Please no..." Issei said and Ene laughed.
"I'll find a nice Chinese restaurant we can eat at this time." Ene said and Issei sighed.
"That would be nice." Issei said as he slumped back down into the couch.
Since I don't really have much to say and it's not like people actually read this shit but here's some information about Lithuminite and her species.
Issei's Exitelyx friend goes by a few names such as Lithuminite or Lithy depending on who's talking to her, but her full name is: Lithiluminite Lex'xiinct Lvenkxay'Xaveylyx.
When addressed formally, her name goes from Lithuminite which is the lax version to Lithiluminite. The middle name is Lex'xiinct which signifies what sect of her family she comes from and the last name of Lvenkay'Xaveylyx serves as the place holder name of the Royal Exitelyx family. Lithuminite's sect of the family can only have that last name as they're the oldest sect that established the Exitelyx society and started their climb to greatness. Other sects of her vast family take one a simplified last name of 'Lvenk'Xavely' that still signifies they belong to the Royal family but not the direct lineage.
*Exitelyx. Pronunciation: Eggs-i-ta-licks. An almost extinct ancient species of "Alien" closely resembling humans with a biological ability to manipulate any object they see fit by directly altering it's chemical/atomic/and or molecular structure. The Exitelyx are what Humans would call a biological computer. Unlike humans the Exitelyx can easily use 100% of their brains which houses a central network of nerves throughout their body that receive information from the brain in pulses a hundred times faster than humans.
*Exitelyxan. Pronunciation: Eggs-i-ta-licks-sin. The language the Exitelyx speak. Due to the human mind not being able to grasp the concept of the advanced language of Exitelyxan what they hear would be a lot different then what Lithuminite, Issei or Koneko would hear since Lithuminite has altered their entire gene structure to make them a mix of species. While still having the genes of a Devil and Nekomata the gene manipulation done by Lithuminite to Koneko has made her dominant genes that of the Exitelyx thus allowing her to understand the language.
*Zeyti. Pronunciation: Zay-tee Unit of time measurement used by Lithuminite and her species. Roughly calculated from the Exitelyxan language, one Zeyti is equal to about the same time as the supposed supereon in human terms.
*Xest'yrx Zeyti. Pronunciation: Zest'-year-ex Zay-tee. A unit of measurement that cannot be translated to a comprehensible number to Humans.
*Annihilator Monolith: Mysterious form of self aware technology responsible for the mass genocide of Dragons and Lithuminite's species. What little is known about them comes down to the fact that the Annihilator Monoliths are far more advanced then even the Exitelyx which have been steadily advancing their technology since their species was first created with only one instance where they were halted from progressing. And for the last Xest'yrx Zeyti their technology advanced steadily, but the Annihilator Monolith's appeared in their dimension and destroyed everything. Out of the thousands of worlds the Exitelyx lived on, only two physical survivors are known. The rest aren't exactly dead but their consciousness is contained in what is called the Void.
*Void: The Void is a vast space of nothing that was a hypothetical theory for where Exitelyx consciousnesses went after their physical bodies were destroyed. The only solid facts about the Void are that it exists/doesn't exist and the consciousness of Exitelyx are able to exist in the Void. The Void Exists because the Exitelyx consciousness tread through it, but the Void doesn't exist because it is literally a space where nothing exists.
