Hello guys/gals! Grey-Senpai here, and welcome to yet another chapter of Paradox! Yeaaaaaaaaa!
So the reason its been awhile since I updated this story, is because the charger to my tablet had stopped working (And yes I type my stories on a handheld device) so I forgot where I had left off, until recently I gotten a new one. So here I am trying to catch up on all my shows (Anime to be precise) and continuing off on my story once more. Now let's continue on with this story.
P.S: I am not a weeabo! I just enjoy watching Japanese Cartoons over regular American Cartoons, because of their interesting story plots and art styles. And no I don't mean that kind of "Plot"!.
Disclaimer: The Highschool DxD franchise belongs to Ichiei Ishibumi. (And I forgot to include the songs as well for the last three chapters).
Claimer: The plot to this Fanfiction story and Oc characters belong to me only.
Sorry for any horrifying grammar mistakes you see throughout this chapter.

*Teleportation sound*
Azazel was sitting on his couch with his arms crossed, as the teleportation diminish Issei and the four unconscious low-class Fallen Angels appeared in front of Azazel, who gave a cocky smirk upon seeing his subordinates on floor. "I must say Kid, you did a number on that man over there. Not too shabby I must say, not too shabby...".
"Oi! Where you killing people not too long ago Kid?" Azazel asked, seeing the bloody armour Issei was wearing. Issei nodded his head, and went over to the body mirror. He took a good look at himself, and noticed the gory mess he made on his favorite suit. "Oh, and I love the design of that helmet you got on. You wouldn't mi-"
Suddenly the three females started stirring up from their short nap. "~Ugh~ my neck is killing me for some reason?". Raynare spoke out as she rubbed her neck.
"~Ouchie~ I didn't sleep well this time". Mittelt let out a small cry, rubbing her neck also in pain.
"*Yawn* can you three keep it down?". Kalawarner yawned out, stretching her body out.
The three began to rub their eyes tiredly, Issei and Azazel watched them without letting them known their presence there. The girls looked around half awake still, but soon widened their eyes when they noticed the surroundings was not theirs. "Hahahahaha! Such gullible subordinates I have, eh Issei-kun?" Azazel joked.
They turned around slowly, fearing the worst coming to them. Their eyes meet Azazel's and they suddenly froze from fear. "Now what's with those pitiful expressions your making? I think you should save that for you Capturer over here". The girls carefully looked over to their left and saw the masked Intruder looking at them.
They noticed the blood all over him, and quickly remembered what happened not to long ago. They crawled away from Issei, trying to stay clear of him as much as possible. The look of fear sketched on their faces, as they continued to stare at Issei.
"Oi! Eyes over here!" Azazel called out, gaining their attention. "Good now that I have your attention, will you care to explain why you disregarded my previous orders?".
They immediately started bowing down at Azazel's feet. "We're very sorry Azazel-sama!". Raynare cried out in pity.
"Please don't hurt us!". Mittelt pleaded for their safety.
"Will do anything you say Azazel-sama!". Kalawarner begged for forgiveness.
"I know you will, because you'll be killed if you don't answer me. So who's going first?" Azazel asked. The three looked at each other and gulped in fear.
Raynare stood up weakly as her legs were shaking uncontrollable. She let out a soft cough to clear her throat, "We-well you see Azazel-sama, we were ordered to carry out this particular plan". Raynare said softly.
"Eh? On who's order?" Azazel asked.
"Kokabiel-sama gave the order, sir" Raynare revealed.
Azazel narrowed his eyes when he heard the name. 'Of course it had to be him of all in the Grigori. He's the only one who wants to start another war with the other fractions. But I can't find a exact location of where he's at...'. Raynare started feeling awkward and scared when Azazel's expression changed.
Azazel snapped out of his thoughts, and gave Raynare a generous smile. "Arigatō, you may sit on the couch now". Raynare bowed down and took her seat at the couch opposite from Azazel. "Alrighty then, who's next?".
"I'll go Azazel-sama" Kalawarner spoke out as she stood up straight.
"Okay let's hear it then" Azazel said.
"Hai! The purpose of this assignment was to retrieve the Twilight Healing Sacred Gear from the Nun" Kalawarner informed.
"For what reason?" Azazel asked.
"He said that he wanted to learn more on the Twilight Healing to fully understand the mechanism in the Gear, sir" Kalawarner said.
Azazel pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration, "~Sigh~ I'm starting to think that y'all are forgetting what the Grigori does now and days". Azazel said tiredly.
Kalawarner felt unease at Azazel's response, and was beginning to sweat a little from her nervousness. "Uh...Azazel-sama? Uh...should I continue on?" Kalawarner asked.
"No, I want to hear from her now. Go take a seat with Raynare-chan " Azazel pointed at Mittelt, who looked pale at the moment. Kalawarner followed his order, and took her spot right next to Raynare.
Mittelt slowly got up from her spot, and was shaking fearfully under Azazel's gaze. "*Cough* *Cough* Azazel-sama, we were also ordered to eliminate a high school student that had transferred to Kuoh Academy" Mittelt said nervously.
"Why where you ordered to do that?" Azazel asked.
"Because, Kokabiel-sama thought the student was a holder for a strong Sacred Gear that could possibly destroy or interfere wih our fraction's business" Mittelt responded.
Azazel face-palmed himself in disbelief, "Seriously? When did my subordinates start becoming more stupid? You think Issei-kun here would interfere with our fraction?" Azazel questioned.
Mittelt's eyes widen in shock as she looked over at Issei. "Issei-kun!? Is that really you?". Issei tapped his neck and the helmet folded back into the suit. "I should've known it was you, you even revealed yourself to us at the church, before...".
「...Before I had knocked you out」 Issei finished her sentence.
"Wait you're the one who gave me a neck pain!?" Mittelt exclaimed.
「...It's been a awhile Mittelt-chan」 Issei said, ignoring her question.
"Mittelt-kun you know this guy!?" Kalawarner asked.
"Yes, remember how I use to be a Angel back then, well he was one of my best friends back then. When I was still serving Heaven that is" Mittelt explained.
"So if he was one of your best friends, then that means he's an...ANGEL!?" Raynare squealed out.
Issei nodded his head, and revealed his ten gray Angel wings to them even his halo pop out above his head. The three girls looked in awe, as they stared at his wings. Issei retracted them back into his body, causing them to pout.
"I'm surprised that you girls didn't get scared after knowing Issei-kun was a top tier Angel. He could've easily killed you four if he wanted to, but luckily he didn't if it wasn't for me" Azazel said proudly.
The girls snapped out of their awe state, and quickly felt relief after hearing Azazel's testament. Issei could've killed them easily without trouble, but he didn't in the end thankfully.
Raynare looked down in guilt, after realizing that she was suppose to kill Issei in the end. "Issei-kun I want to apologize for deceiving you when we where at school!" Raynare said, as she bowed down. "I know I was ordered to kill you, but for some reason I couldn't commit to that order. I just hope one day you can forgive me!".
Everybody looked at her in shock, expect for Issei of course. Raynare waited for Issei's response let it be bad or good, but something surprised everybody in the room. Issei petted her head softly and gently, causing Raynare to blush madly. "Wh-wh-wh-wh-why are you petting me, and not hitting or yelling at me for deceiving you!?" Raynare said embarrassingly.
「...I don't really care if you were, the world is cruel anyways」 Issei responded.
"I-Issei-kun..." Raynare said softly, as she gazed into his eyes.
Mittelt's right eye twitched in annoyance, at Raynare's lovey-dovey mood. "Raynare could you kindly not lust over my best friend? It's no wonder how you fell from grace in the first place". Mittelt said eerily.
Raynare looked over at Mittelt with a posing look on her face, "Oh? Is that so? Didn't you fall from grace, because of your greed and anger? How could you be his best friend if you left him behind for your own wants? Huh?" Raynare mocked uncontrollably.
Mittelt shook in anger at Raynare's words, she didn't want to admit that Raynare was right about her desires. The two clashed heads with each, and began pushing each other with their foreheads, while grinning at each other threatening. Kalawarner sighed deeply in annoyance, but didn't bother to break up the two bickering girls.
Azazel rubbed his neck in frustration, as the two Fallen kept going at in their bickering. "Oi! Will you two shut the hell up!?" Azazel said irritated. The two stopped automatically, sitting on their knees obediently looking at Azazel fearfully. "Thank you, now don't think I haven't forgotten all about your punishment for disobey my orders".
The three girls jumped in panic, after hearing Azazel's statement. They gulped down another lump of salvia down their throat, nervous and on-edge for their fates to come from Azazel. Issei stared half-heartedly at the scene in front of him, stretching a little as he watched.
"I don't know if I should kill you or banish y'all from the Grigori? Death sounds a little better don't you think?" Azazel asked in a cold-hearted voice. The three girls shivered in fright from Azazel's devilish smirk, the girls quickly shook thaeir head trying to change Azazel's mind. "Oh? So you rather be banished from the Grigori, than die to save your skin?".
They nodded quickly in response, lowering their heads to ground. Azazel looked amused and turned his attention to Issei for a moment. "Yo! Issei-kun, you wouldn't mind taking care of these lost causes, would you?".
The girls looked up instantaneously after hearing Azazel's offer, they turned to look over at Issei's direction. Issei looked a little confused, having one of his eyebrows arched up. Issei narrowed slightly at Azazel, and looked over at the girls carefully for a second, before turning his attention back to Azazel.
Issei closed his eyes for a bit and began thinking what to do in this situation. [I see you're stuck in this surprisingly out of nowhere predicament Partner. I gotta say that Governor of the Fallen Angels is sly as a Fox]. Albion spoke out in Issei's mind.
Issei didn't answer back to Albion's snarky comment, as he was in the middle of a great debate between himself at the moment. [Partner, I know you don't really give a damn if you take those Fallen Angels under your wings, but do you really have to act like you care about this little situation your in? Just agree to his proposal already, we still have Asia to worry about anyways] Albion added at the end.
Issei nodded mentally with Albion not even trying to argue with the great Dragon. Issei came back to reality and looked at everyone in the room, who were looking at him questionly. Issei opened his mouth, causing everybody to lean forward in interest.
「...Sure」 Issei finally said bluntly. Everybody sweat dropped in astonishment to Issei's answer.
Azazel snapped from his stupor, and smiled happily back at Issei. "That's good to hear Kid" Azazel comment, before looking back at the girls in front of him. "Well it seems your life has been spared from Issei-kun ladies. For now on your are hereby order to serve Issei-kun to the best of your abilities".
The girls turned around uneasily, """Eh!?""". The squeaked out in shock.
"Don't "Eh!?" me, you will be his slaves bond by a contract, whether you like it or not! This is the price you have to pay for disobeying orders. You three will be prohibited from returning to Grigori, and if you decide to come back we will kill you on sight without mercy" Azazel warned threatening.
The girls shrank in sorrow after hearing Azazel's statement. Issei watched the ordeal go down uninterested, but was wanting to go home already to check up on Asia. """U-u-understood... Azazel-sama""" they said in unison. They got up from the floor and made their way over to Issei's side, however they remembered about Dohnaseek, who was still unconscious at the moment, a few feet away from them.
"Azazel-sama, what's going to happen to Dohnaseek-san?" Raynare asked.
Azazel gave her a sinister smile, "I'm going to interrogate him to get the rest of the information I want".
Raynare was now cursing herself for asking that stupid question. The other two had a look of knowing, of Dohnaseek's fate that was soon to come. They all gathered around Issei, as he started the teleportation.
"Hey Kid! Before you leave, I just want to say thank you for helping me out with this small problem of mine" Azazel said generously.
Issei gave him a thumbs up, before teleporting him and the girls away, leaving a fading cross symbol in its position.
Azazel chuckled to himself as he shook his head, he stopped when he heard Dohnaseek finally stirring awake. "Huh? Where am I?" Dohnaseek said groaning.
"Would you look at that, Sleeping Beauty has finally awoken from her sleep" Azazel joked out, causing Dohnaseek to carefully turn around.
His eyes almost bulged out his eye's socket, when he came face to face with Azazel. "A-A-A-Azazel-sama!?".
"Hello there Dohnaseek...ready to answer my questions to the best of your abilities?" Azazel said threatening.
Dohnaseek gulped in fright, as he began to sweat nervously. 'Please have mercy!'.
...∷ Line Break ∷...
A Cross appeared brightly in Issei's living room, before fading off revealing all four of them in the mist of the portal. Issei quickly made his way upstairs, leaving the three former Angels behind. They looked at one another questioning trying to figure out what that was about.
Their curiosity got the best of them, causing the three to slowly trail up the stairs. Upon reaching the top of the staircase, they noticed on the right side of the hallway a door slightly wedged open with light coming out of the cracks. They silently crept on over to the door, trying to avoid making any sound while at it.
They gathered around the door and tried their best to peak into the room without getting caught whatsoever. They carefully pushed the door open, and cringed when they heard it squeak. The sound of shuffling was heard from behind the door, and with that the door swung open out of nowhere, startling the three out of their wits.
"""Eeee!""" They yelped as they felled into their asses. Issei looked at them impassively from the entrance, before going back to what he was doing in the first place. The three looked at each other and got up from the floor, dusting off their asses they saw Issei sitting right next to a bed looking at someone.
They weren't to sure if they were allowed to enter the room, after hesitating for a couple of seconds. They finally managed to overcome that fear inside them, taking their first step into their fate. They planted their foot into room and stepped right on in with their eyes shut tight.
Immediately they froze in place and waited for their punishment. They waited, waited, waited, waited, and waited, but no punishment came towards them. Slowly opening their eyes they saw that Issei was still in the exact same spot, and had never moved a muscle too.
They were now confused on why he didn't take action towards them, so they carefully made their way over to Issei. They were now standing in back of Issei, and noticed the individual in the bed. Their eyes widened in shock after remembering the person in front of them. """The Nun?!""" They said quietly in shock.
There laid Asia sleeping ever so peacefully in the bed, as if there wasn't any worries in the world. Raynare looked at Issei carefully placing the puzzle pieces here and there, until it hit her.
"Wait your're the one who took the Nun?!" Raynare exclaimed. Issei turned towards her and placed his finger on his lips, indicating her to shut the fuck up. Raynare did so, but still had a questioning look. Issei nodded his head at her answer, which caused Mittelt and Kalawarner to gasp slightly in shock. "Then what happen to Freed?".
「...I killed him」 Issei responded, the girls blinked a couple of times and happily sighed afterwards.
"Thank goodness you got rid of him" Raynare let out.
"Eh, who cares about that psychopath. He was pretty much asking for his funeral to begin with" Mittelt said without care.
"Yeah you're right about that, I kinda felt as though he was always checking me out in a perverted way" Kalawarner said hugging herself, as if she was naked and trying to cover her parts.
Issei looked at them with a bored expression written across his face, "*Yawn* Hm? Issei-san?". A voice yawned out in back of Issei. The four looked over to the bed, and saw Asia sitting up rubbing her eyes tiredly. "Where am I?".
Issei placed his hand on her shoulder getting her attention. "What is it Issei-san?" Asia curiously said.
「...You're in my house」 Issei informed her.
Asia was shocked for a second, but quickly gave a heartwarming smile. "I fell asleep in your arms didn't I?". Issei nodded confirming her assumption. "Sorry for being such a burden Issei-san" Asia apologized clasping her hands together.
Issei patted her head gently, making her look at him in wonder. 「...I see no burden in my eyes」. Issei said cooly.
"I see someone turned into a playa, after we last saw each other. I should've seen this coming anyways, you were always around a alot of females to begin with in Heaven" Mittelt giggled to herself.
Asia was surprised to hear somebody else in room with her and Issei. Looking behind Issei carefully, recognizing the three Fallen Angels from the church, standing up in back of Issei awkwardly. "What are y'all doing here?" Asia asked.
The girls immediately stiffen at her question, embarrassed by their current situation. 「...They're under my care」 Issei responded, causing them to look at him in defeat.
Asia blinked for a second at Issei's response, then smiled sweetly at them. "How nice of you Issei-san" Asia said kindly. She looked over at the tainted Angels, "So how come Issei-san is taking care of you? I thought y'all where living at the church?".
"W-w-well y-y-you s-s-see um..." Mittelt stuttered.
"Its kind of a long story you see..." Raynare added in.
"Long Story?" Asia questioned.
"Basically we where ordered by our Leader to stay with Issei-kun for now on" Kalawarner finally said. Raynare and Mittelt looked at her in disbelief. Kalawarner shot them a dirty look, making them back off her.
Asia pounded her fist into her palm, as if she figured something out. "I understand now!" Asia said in glee, with her eyes closed. "God must be looking over y'all then, if he blessed you with Issei-san". The three Fallen looked at Asia with a twitchy smile on their faces.
Issei watched their conversation from a distance, not wanting to disturb them. He walked out the room quietly without drawing attention towards himself. Going down the stairs and into the kitchen, Issei started preparing for dinner tonight, and knowing how many guest where in his house now. This was gonna be a rather large meal.
...∷ Line Break ∷...
Issei stood in front of the Occult Research Club door, staring at it intently. Issei felt their energy signals from within, and noticed how they didn't sense him at the moment. Issei opened the door, causing them to jump slightly in their spots. They noticed who it was and quickly calmed down, giving Issei smiles.
Rias stood up from her seat, and smiled at Issei with a friendly gesture. "How nice of you to drop on by Issei-kun" Rias greeted kindly, "What can I help you with?".
Issei waved his hand, and proceeded forward towards Rias. Issei stopped in front of her and bowed down slightly, 「...I have a favor to ask of you Rias-senpai」 Issei said in a polite monotone voice.
Everyone in the room looked at Issei questioning, before giggling underneath their breath. Issei looked up at them with a eyebrow raised. 「...What seems to be funny?」.
"Oh, nothing really funny. Its just you were quick to cash in your favor so fast" Rias explained. Issei rubbed the back of his head, with a straight face. "So...what is it that you need from me?".
「...I want two people to enroll into this school」 Issei requested.
Rias looked at Issei carefully, "Are they Fallen Angels?" Rias asked.
「...Only one of them, the other is a former Sister from the church」 Issei informed.
Rias narrowed her eyes after hearing about the two individuals, "Why would you tell me this, if am their mortal enemy?".
「...Because their under my protection Rias-senpai」 Issei replied back with an uncaring tone.
"I see..." Rias said, before sighing deeply. "Whelp okay then I'll see what I can do, I have no chose to turn you down after saving Koneko from that maniac".
Issei bowed once more, 「...Arigato」 IsseI said, before leaving the room.
After Issei had left everyone else in the room, who were quiet throughout the conversation; looked over towards Rias. "...Buchō? Are you really gonna go through with it?" Koneko asked.
Rias sighed deeply, slouching in her leather chair. Placing her chin in the palm of her hand. "I have no choice, but to allow those Fallens into our school Koneko-chan". Rias answered back tiredly.
Koneko looked at Rias in concern, and was about to speak out until Akeno cleared her throat. "Rias is making the best choice Koneko, he did after all saved your life. So it's only fair for us to repay him with this simple request". Akeno proclaimed.
Koneko looked down ashamed, clutching her hand in frustration. She cursed herself for being to weak, but she wasn't blaming Issei for it. It wasn't his fault that she was weak, it just meant that she needed to train more efficiently. She didn't like the idea of being in someone else's debt, because she couldn't get the job done. Koneko snapped out of her thoughts, when she felt a hand grabbed her shoulder gently. Koneko looked up at the owner of them, and saw Yumi standing in front of her.
"Koneko-chan you shouldn't be frustrated at all" Yumi informed softly, "It doesn't matter if we owe Issei-kun a favor". Koneko looked at Yumi with a stupor look on her face. "Hey don't give me that look, I'm gald he's the one who saved you and not somebody else we don't trust or know". Yumi stated.
"She's right Koneko-chan, it's better that he's the one we owe a favor to. Now we can finally keep an eye on the Fallens now better than before" Akeno added, "This will help us immensely in the long run, and remember Issei-kun went to settle with the Church problem of ours".
Koneko looked at the two, and knew they were right. But still the fact remained that she couldn't handle a measly Exorcist on her own. She was overpowered by a long shot, and was almost raped and killed in the end. But she nodded her head in agreement to let the two know she understood their reasoning.
"You girls are right!" Rias exclaimed happily out of nowhere. Everybody in the room jumped slightly up in surprise, cause of their King's jeer. "This will help us keep a close eye on the ones Issei has kept with him".
"Why was I mopping like a sore loser? Gosh I'm soo stupid to be acting so selfish and childish! Rias Gremory you're soo stupid, stupid, stupid!" Rias ranted to herself crazily, without evening noticing that it was making her peerage nervous.
"...Buchō?" Koneko whispered.
"Rias-senpai...are you okay?" Yumi asked concernly.
"Ara, Ara, Rias is arguing with herself" Akeno giggled lightly, covering her smile with her hand.
"I must go see my mother immediately, to start making the arrangements right away! Akeno please accompany me to my mother's office" Rias ordered happily.
"Of course Rias, let's be off shall we?" Akeno said slyly, following behind Rias' fast paced movements.
Koneko and Yumi watched the two Seniors walk out the room, followed by the door shutting behind them. After a couple of seconds past by, Yumi broke the silence in the room, "What you think that was about?".
"...I have no idea" Koneko responded. leaving the two to stare at the door in utter silence. Wondering what had gotten into their King.

Its been a week since Issei gave his request out to the Gremory peerage. After doing so, he was bombarded with questions, after questions, and some more questions. Being mostly about the girl's sizes in clothing, and their ages. Which wasn't awkward for Issei to ask them upfront, cause of his explanation.
Now here he was looking down at the packages the school had sent to his home. He stared at with his lax grey eyes, scanning the box thoroughly. "We're home Issei-kun! You there!?" A female's voice shouted from the front door. Issei didn't bother looking over at the hallway, as the sound of multiple footsteps made there way over to him.
"Hey didn't you hear her?" Kalawarner asked.
Issei still didn't say anything, but continued on with his silent treatment. "Issei-san? Are you alright?" Asia asked with concern.
「...Your school outfits are here」 Issei finally said, causing the girls to look down at the box as well.
"Would you look at that" Mittelt said causally, looking at the box.
"Issei-san can we try them out?" Asia asked. Issei nodded his head, giving the box to Kalawarner, who was taken back in surprise. "Come on girls, let's go try them on". Asia pulled them by the arms, dragging them upstairs.
Issei watched the pleading girls being dragged to their demise. [Kukukuku, I see the nun is enjoying her time] Albion spoke out.
Issei sat down on his recliner, and stared up at the ceiling. [You wanna talk about it?] Albion asked. Issei shook his head slowly, earning a sigh from Albion. [Sooner or later you gonna have to talk to me about this condition Partner, how am I gonna help you out if you don't talk to me about it?].
「...You can't...there's nothing that can't be done about it」 Issei responded back.
[And how do you know?] Albion asked.
「...Cause...I spoke to him myself」 Issei informed.
[...] Albion couldn't say anything back, after learning about this new revelation.
「...That's why Albion」 Issei said.
[Well...this...turn out to be...bad then...I'm sorry to hear that...Partner] Albion said awkwardly.
「...No need for any pity Albion」 Issei responded.
Albion was about to speak, until the girls entered and stood at the entrance of the living room. "Where finished Issei-san!" Asia declared. Issei turned his attention, and saw the girls, except Kalawarner, in their school uniform. Issei's emotions didn't change though. He still kept his collected facade, which slightly annoyed them.
"So what you think Issei-san!?" Asia asked.
Issei nodded his head in approval, giving them the thumbs up. The three girls pouted under their breath, but smiled in the end.
"So Raynare, I guess you'll finally be a official student at Kuoh Academy" Mittelt said, nudging Raynare in the ribs.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say Mittelt" Raynare said annoyed, with the loli's actions.
"What will you be doing for now on Kalawarner-san?" Asia asked.
Kalawarner rubbed the back of her head, "I still don't know, and am pretty sure Issei-kun isn't gonna let me slack off at home" Kalawarner said, looking over at Issei, who nodded his head. "So I'll probably look for some type of work to do while y'all are at school".
"Why don't you become a teacher at our school? I think you would be a great teacher Kalawarner-san" Asia suggested.
"I think that's not a good idea Asia-chan" Kalawarner said nervously.
"Why?" Asia asked.
"Well because I'm not really good at school subjects, and teaching others different things" Kalawarner responded.
"Nonsense! I think you're compatible to teach teens school subjects, without evening breaking a sweat" Asia exclaimed.
"Yeah, she's right Kalawarner. You should work at Kuoh Academy as a teacher, you would do perfectly as one" Mittelt said with a sly smile.
Kalawarner shot her a glare for the comment. "As I said before, I don't think I have the skills or quality of a teacher".
"Liar, you passed in the Grigori Academy within the top 10 overall class roster" Raynare added in.
"Raynare..." Kalawarner said menacingly.
"You girls went to school?" Asia asked in curiosity.
"Of course we did, if we didn't then we wouldn't be alive today without the knowledge they gave us" Raynare explained.
"Whoa! That's amazing Raynare-san!" Asia said in awe.
"I went to Heavenly Academy, and Grigori Academy so I have both the knowledge of the two, but mostly more from Grigori Academy" Mittelt added in.
"Heavenly Academy?" Asia said confused.
"It's a school in Heaven, that Angels go to learn more about God and religions around the world" Mittelt explained, "I'm pretty sure Issei already passed his classes already, he's a bookworm if I remember correctly?".
"Is that true Issei-san?" Asia asked. Issei nodded his head. "Incredible!".
Issei looked at the four girls begin talking to one another, and noticed how they got along with each other so well. The scene almost made Issei smile, but of course he didn't though. But inside he felt a warm sensation in his heart, he never felt before. This made Issei question it within his head.
Albion watched within Issei's mind, and couldn't help but smile at his Partner's new found emotion. Happiness. [Congrats Partner, congrats...] Albion said to himself.

Gabriel was currently seated in a conference room, listening carefully to her brother's report. She wasn't the only one in the room besides her. Other high officials in Heaven where also present in the meeting, and where giving their all divided attention to the Archangel in front of them.
"I was informed recently about a break in a Vatican in Europe. The church says the burglars had stolen one of the Excaliburs there" Michael said, earning hush whispers and gasps among the High Angels in the room. Once the room quiet down fully, Michael carried on with his meeting. "I know this doesn't look good at all, we already gotten a couple of reports of stolen Excaliburs all around the world".
"We still don't know what their purpose is with these Excaliburs, but it's probably not gonna be used for good" Michael said. "The A.S.T.U are on the case as we speak, they been sending undercover operatives all around the world to gain more information on the robberies. And speaking of the A.S.T.U, one of the agents came back with some information on the case". The High Angels began whispering to one another on the information, before quieting down.
"So instead of telling you the information personally, I will let the A.S.T.U agent tell us personally. You may come in now" Michael informed. The High Angels turned around, when they heard the door open. Upon entering the room, was a young teen girl, who looked about 16 years old. Her hair was pure white, and was up in a ponytail. Her bangs covered her left eye, leaving her right crystal colored eye exposed to everyone's view. Her skin was a light caramel color, which complimented her looks more. She had C-cup breast, and a nice physique with it. She was wearing a white and golden female A.S.T.U formal uniform, which consistent of a two piece suit, a skirt that was above her knees a little, and white dress shoes with white high knee socks. Her face expression was calm and collected, as she walked.
Gabriel felt as though she knew the girl from somewhere, as she stood in front of the room. "Hello everyone, I am Lieutenant Crystal Hyoudou" Crystal greeted herself, as she bowed down to everyone.
Gabriel finally remembered who she was, 'She's Issei's fiancee!'. Gabriel continued to look at Issei's fiancee, with a small hint of jealousy to go with it. She quickly shook her head, getting rid of the impure thoughts and emotions. 'What are you thinking Gabriel!? You shouldn't be thinking like that! Get ahold of yourself, just because she's Issei's fiancee doesn't mean you should feel that way towards her' Gabriel mentally screamed to herself. She exited her thoughts, and gave her full attention towards Crystal.
"As you heard from Archangel Michael, I will tell you personally about the information I have recovered" Crystal continued on, "Yesterday afternoon, I was in the area that I was assigned to. Tokyo. Upon my investigation, I had overheard a group of shady folks there, talking about our missing sword".
"Upon hearing this, I decided to follow the group to a rather evicted building complex. I hid myself carefully so no one wouldn't find me. As I listened in onto their conversation, I was rather taken back on the details they went over" Crystal said, before sighing deeply. "It seems the corrupts where a group of ex-communicated church officials such as, Priests, Nuns, Bishops, and with the help from the Fallen Angels".
The High Angel were taken back in surprise, after hearing the newfound information. They began whispering to each on the matter at hand, and what to do now to respond back. "Fallen Angels? I was sure Azazel had little interest in starting a new Great War with us Angels. He was the first one to call back his troops during the first Great War". Michael said to himself. "Why would he steal the Excaliburs in the first place?".
"This is outrageous, we must do something in order to prevent them to tamper with the swords! God knows what devious plan they have for them, we must take care of this nuisance once and for all!" One of the High Angels spoke out.
Other High Angels began agreeing with the decision, and where now shouting out ideas of what to do now. Crystal watched the debating High Angels come up with ideas, in annoyance just cause she wasn't finished with her info. Turning her attention towards Michael, which she received back. She gave him a look that meant, 'Please tell these Doves to shut up already, so I can finish with my report'. Michael nodded his head.
"SILENCE!" Michael shouted out, causing everyone to shut up quickly. Michael coughed a couple of times, "Thank you for quieting down, now Lt. Crystal over here hasn't even finished her report yet. Lt. Crystal you may proceed".
Crystal smiled half-heartily, "Thank you Archangel Michael. So to finish the report, it turns out they won't be using the swords until next year. Something about a Holy Project, or something that isn't finished yet. I couldn't hear well over their arguing about it. But I know where they're gonna start their operation at next year. At Kuoh Town, where Lucifer's little sister lives".
Everybody in the room widened their eyes in surprise. They knew exactly why they chosen that spot, to start another Great War between the Three Fractions. And how exactly, by killing the current Lucifer's little sister. By doing this would anger Lucifer greatly, which will receive an immediate response from the Devil society. They would then send out troops to start attacking both Angels and Fallen Angels, in vengeance for his little sister's death.
Gabriel quickly got out of her gaze, and remembered something. She giggled slightly, causing everyone in the room to look at her, as if she had gone mad. "What is the meaning for your childish act Archangel Gabriel? Do you take this as a game!?". One of the High Angels spoke out with anger in his voice.
Gabriel paid him no mind, as she covered her mouth. this angered the High Angel greatly. "What is it dear Sister?" Michael asked, curious to why his sister was giggling.
Gabriel began to calm down now, after doing so she got up from her seat. And made her way over towards the front of the room. "Sorry for that rude manner of mine, but I couldn't help myself to reframe from doing so". Gabriel said honestly.
"And why's that Sister?" Michael asked.
Gabriel smiled brightly, "Because we already have our strongest Angel in that town to begin with". Gabriel looked over towards Crystal, and pointed directly at her. "He is your Fiance to begin with" Gabriel saw the look of realization hit the girl. Looking back over to the confused High Angels she placed her hands on her hips, "His name is, Issei Hyoudou. God's Gray Paradox, and my Joker Card" Gabriel declared proudly, saying one of Issei's five rare nicknames out of the twenty he had already.
Everybody soon realized who Gabriel was talking about, and began whispering once more to each other. Michael rubbed his chin and began realizing the outcome of the end of this little attempt to ignite another Great War from the Fallen Angels. He and and everyone else in Heaven, and even outside of Heaven's walls. Every fraction in the world knew of the boy's power that he held within him. To the point it scared everybody into hiding, fearing the boy would find them and obliterate them without evening breaking a sweat.
The reason for this, was because they heard about the boy's achievements across the supernatural world. Even though they didn't know how he looked in person, they had heard of his greatest victory above the rest of his. Defeating Ophis one on one, causing the Infinity Dragon to go into hiding to recover from its wounds. As to where Issei didn't even need to worry about his health, because he was barely injured in the fight. That fight had sent shivers down everybody's spine, after finding out one of the strongest beings to live, was defeated easily by a mere kid.
Okay that part might've been over exaggerated, the boy was also hurt pretty badly in the fight. But the results showed that he could handle any powerful entity on his own pretty well. And now after realizing this, the High Angels began to feel their worry disappearing from them.
Leaving the High Angels to rejoice, Crystal made her way to the door, before being stopped by Gabriel standing in front of the door. "Would you kindly please step aside Archangel Gabriel?" Crystal asked, with a hint of annoyance in her voice.
"I'm sorry dear, but I can't do that at the moment" Gabriel said innocently, placing her cheek in the palm of her hand. Smiling sweetly at Crystal with her eyes closed.
"And why is that" Crystal said as she gritted her teeth. She noticed how the sweet smile had a devious hint to it.
Gabriel opened her eyes halfway, and locked them with Crystal's right eye. "Cause I wanna know where you're gonna go after this" Gabriel's tone now had a little authority in it.
"I guess I can't lie to you, because of your ranking. ~Sigh~ I'm going to be staying with my Fiance, Archangel Gabriel" Crystal said finally.
Gabriel narrowed her eyes a little, after hearing that. "Is that so, huh?" Gabriel murmured to herself, she went to Crystal's side and whispered into her ear. "You better not do anything funny with my favorite Joker, you Vixen! If I find out you took his innocence away, I will personally torture you myself, and it won't bother me if I fall from Grace".
Crystal shivered from the harsh tone and words, but quickly glared at Gabriel. The two continued to glare menacingly at one another. "Did I interrupt something here Ladies?" Michael asked, causing the two Angels to back off quickly.
"Of course not dear Brother, I was just telling Crystal here how she did a great job for getting the information for us. Isn't that right Crystal?" Gabriel said sweetly, smiling at Crystal with a hint of warning.
Crystal looked at Gabriel, and cursed her in her head. She turned towards Michael, and gave him a innocent smile. "She correct Sir, only came to me to tell me how much my helpfulness has caused her soo much gratitude towards it" Crystal stated, fabricating the truth from the real reason.
"Ah! I see, well you did do a splendid job Lt. Crystal. Thank you for your hard work" Michael praised her.
"Not a problem Sir, just doing my job is all" Crystal replied back. She glanced at Gabriel, and noticed the dirty look she was receiving from the Seraph. Turning her attention back to Michael, "If you'll excuse me Sir, I must be on my way then". And with that Crystal turned on her heels and walked out of the conference room.
Gabriel glared at the retreating Angel, but quickly put on her innocent act when her Brother turned towards her. "She quite the Angel isn't she dear Sister?" Michael said with a smile.
"Yes, of course Brother, she is indeed" Gabriel said happily. Michael ruffled her hair and went back to the cheerful High Angels. After her Brother was out of sight, Gabriel immediately exited the room. "Yes, quite the little cat thieve I must say".
...∷ Line Break ∷...
"Hello everybody my name is, Asia, Asia Argento. I hope we can get along together this year" Asia introduce herself with a bow at the end. The whole classroom went into a uproar, as both boys and girls screamed in delight. Asia looked puzzled at the response she got.
After class was over Asia was swarmed by her classmates in a instant. Asking questions here and there, causing he former Nun to be nervous. Asia raised her hands in defense, as her classmates kept bombarding her with questions. "Please everyone, one at a time please" Asia said nervously.
"Asia-chan! Where did you come from?" A boy asked.
"From Italy" Asia responded.
"Do you have a boyfriend!?"
"Uhhh?..." Asia feeling uncomfortable to answer.
"Well you marry me Asia-chan!?".
"No! Marry me instead Asia-chan!".
"Back off bro, I called dibs on her first!".
"You can't do that man! That's unfair!".
The boys began arguing with each other, over who got to go on a date with Asia. Asia back off quietly, not wanting the boys to notice her departure. Asia was then pulled into the girl's group, away from the savage boys. The girls at least made Asia feel alot more safer than being with the boys.
"Good thing we pulled you out of their clutches Asia-chan" Katase said, earning nods behind her.
"Thank you very much" Asia said in relief.
"So you're actually from Italy?" Murayama asked.
"Yes, but this is actually my first time going to a school" Asia admitted, earning gasps from the girls.
"Why's that?" A girl asked.
"I was raised into a old Christian life, so I didn't meet other children my age until now" Asia explained, but left out the rest of the back story.
"That's awful Asia-chan, but don't you worry we will be your friends from now on" Murayama declared.
The girls agreed with Murayama, causing Asia to tear up from happiness. The girls were taken back, and began asking Asia if she was alright.
Asia began wiping away her tears, and gave them a sweet smile. "Thank you for worrying about me, I'm just crying because it means so much that we can become friends with one another". The girls smiled at Asia, and gave her big group hug.
"Asia-chan! Please marry me!" A boy screamed out, causing the perfect moment to be ruined. This angered the girls immensely. They stopped their hugging, and began bashing the rude boys in the classroom. Asia watched from a distance as the boys were pummeled, letting out the sounds of agonies echoed throughout the room. Asia turned around and saw Issei looking out the window, ignoring the chaos that was happening in the room.
Asia made her way over to Issei's side. "Hello there Issei-san!" Asia said happily.
Issei turned his attention to her, looking up at her in question. "Why aren't you interacting with your classmates?" Asia pointed out. Issei looked over towards the victorious girls standing over the bruised boys. Looking back at Asia, Issei shrugged his shoulders.
"Alright class, let's continue on with our lesso-" The teacher paused when he saw the boys laying on the ground. "Oh for crying out loud" the teacher whispered disappointingly.
*Kin Kon, Kan Kon, Kin Koun*
The bell released the students home, as everyone headed out the classrooms in a hurry. Issei and Asia where the last ones to leave the classroom. Making their way down the stairs, they met up with Mittelt and Raynare at the bottom of the staircase.
"So how was your day Asia?" Raynare asked.
"It was nice, but scary at the same time" Asia responded, rubbing the back of her head nervously.
"Well my day was alright, I have class with the Gremory's rook" Mittelt said.
"Really? How was it?" Raynare asked.
"It was kind of creeping to tell you the truth" Mittelt said.
"How so?" Asia asked.
"I felt as though every time I did something, she was always watching me from behind. So I tested my theory, and turns out I was right. Even though I was staring right at her, she didn't even try to hide the fact she was watching me" Mittelt shivered, as she clutched her arms.
"Hahaha! You have a stalker Mittelt! Hahahaha" Raynare said in laughter. Mittelt shot her a glare, as she crossed her arms and pouted.
"That's not fair! Why do I get one of the Gremory's member in my class, but you guys don't!?" Mittelt exclaimed angrily.
"She couldn't be that bad, Mittelt-chan" Asia said.
"Just wait until we meet them all in a little bit Asia" Mittelt countered back.
The girls stopped talking when they saw the old schoolhouse in front of them.
"This is the building!? It looks abandon from my view" Raynare said.
"Its like a haunted schoolhouse, where you hear those stories about a school girl who dies in it" Mittelt added in.
Asia kept quiet for once, but looked at the schoolhouse nervously. Issei led the way inside followed behind the girls in the back. Issei didn't want to bring it up, but before they even got to the schoolhouse. He had felt two small power energy levels clashing against each other.
The first energy was rather small to the second energy level, but to Issei they were ants still to him. The girls behind Issei started complaining that they felt woozy all of a sudden. Issei then suddenly felt another energy source pop from out of nowhere, and this time it was way bigger than the two combine. But wasn't still enough to make him feel woozy.
They reached the double doors, and heard voices coming from within. It sounded as though there was an argument going on within the room. The hatred radiated out from the door's cracks, causing a ominous feeling. Issei suddenly realized that the arguing had came to a complete stop.
He sensed a magic spell coming from within the room towards his direction. He understood why, the girls couldn't hide their enegry sources like he could, so they where spotted quickly. Issei raised his left palm, and activated a spell. Cancelling out the magic spell easily.
Issei looked in back of him, and noticed the curious looks he was receiving from the girls. He turned his attention back to the third source, and opened the doors wide open. There stood Rias, her peerage on the side, and two unknown individuals. One being a female, while the other was a male.
"Issei!?" Rias whispered in shock.
Issei didn't paid her any attention, but looked at the woman standing across the room from him. She was dressed in a blue and white maid outfit. Her hair was silver as well as her eyes. She narrowed her eyes at Issei's presence, but keep a dignified facial expression.
"I didn't know there was four you outside? I only sense the three girls, but you where nowhere to be found" The woman said impassively. "Who are you boy?".
"Yes, tell us you vermin. Who are you, and why are you here in the first place with those filthy Fallen Angels and Nun?" The male asked angrily.
Issei didn't say anything, but continued to look at the two people. His silence made the male angrier, "Speak you lowlife bug, when Riser says so!". The man called Riser, then formed two fireballs. Launching them at Issei. The girls in back of Issei hid behind him for protection.
Issei blinked once and the fireballs where no more. Everybody was taken back from the outcome. "Why you little piece of-".
"Lord Riser enough!" The woman commanded, which Riser followed.
"Of course even I, Riser Phenex, knows when to back down. When the strongest Queen commands it, Grayfia Lucifuge" Riser said smoothly.
Grayfia now named, looked over at Issei. She looked him up and down, studying his posture, emotions, and physique. He seemed to look like a normal teenager, but his lack of emotions told other wise. "I will ask again, boy. Who are you?".
「...Issei, Issei Hyoudou」 Issei responded.
"Issei is a good name for weakling like you" Riser said.
"Issei isn't a weakling Riser! He can totally defeat you and your peerage easily!" Rias spoke out. This angered Riser once more.
"What did you say you tramp!? Do you want Riser to kill your peerage, and take you by force?" Riser threaten.
"You two enough! Right now!" Grayfia said full of authority.
The girls hiding behind Issei watched the ordeal go down in front of them. "Lady Rias, has already decided on facing you and your peerage in a Rating Game, Lord Riser". Grayfia informed.
"Pft, you really think you can defeat Riser, with that small peerage? Riser has a full set of pieces" Riser declared, snapping his fingers. Instantaneously a magic teleportation activated, as a circle of flames appeared out of thin air. After the flames dispersed, there stood fifteen females in its place. "As you can see Rias, it is a waste of time for both of us. So why don't you give up and come to the underworld and marry me already".
"I refuse still, I will not marry a pig of a man such as you Riser!" Rias insulted. "I will marry the man that see's who I really am, not just for my title!".
"Why you red headed slut!" Riser created enormous fireball, and launched it at Rias. Issei appeared in front of the fireball, and caught it easily in the palm of his hands. He clenched on the fireball, and squished it into nothing. Everyone in the room looked shocked at the turn of events.
Issei opened his eyes slowly, and gave his full attention to Riser. "That's ENOUGH! Lord Riser, this will be your final straw. If not, I will personally deal with you myself! Do I make myself clear"!?" Grayfia threaten.
"Of course..." Riser hissed out.
"Issei, as for you. Your actions will cause a problem for us if you continue to interfere. So I'd advise you to back down immediately, or I will also have to use force against you" Grayfia stated.
Issei looked at her calmly, 「...You have no authority over me Grayfia」 Issei said boredly.
Grayfia narrowed her eyes, after hearing that. Everyone in the room was surprised by Issei talking back to the strongest Queen in he Devil society. "Is that so?" Grayfia asked, as her power exceeded from her body.
「...Yes」 Issei responded back, releasing 15/100 of his power, causing everybody excluding Grayfia to go down on their knees.
Grayfia was the only one, who was able fight against his energy level. She was still shaking all over her body, trying so badly to withstand his power pressure. "By...Lucifer! Who... are... you... boy!?". Grayfia struggled to speak.
"I can explain that for you" A voice said out of thin air. Issei immediately dispersed his power, after hearing the voice. Everyone began slowly to get off from the ground, but immediately covered their eyes when a bright light appeared in the middle of the room.
The light began to dim down into a cross, before bursting into golden sparkles. Their stood in the middle of the room, was a familiar Angel that Issei knew.
"The names, Crystal, Crystal Hyoudou! I'm Issei's fiancee" Crystal announced.
To be continued...
And there we have it folks! Ahhh it feels good to finish this chapter. Alright now before you guys and gals bash me for not getting some of the characters personalities right, I apologize for that. But this is a Fan Fiction story, so it's most likely to be slightly different from the original origin.
Also I feel as though near the end, I smashed in random as shit into the story. I don't know if I did, but I wrote this shit last night and right now so fast that it made Sonic the Hedgehog look like a sloth. So my whole hands are used up to the point where it feels as though I wack off my elephant trunk too many times in one go. Lol that sounds pretty funny! What the fuck am I talking about now? Fuck!
Anyways, I finished the chapter and I hope you folks are happy about this one. Until the next chapter, I'm Grey-Senpai and have a wonderful day.
