Chapter 4: Fated Battle God vs. Satan
Part 1: Unknown location battle has already begun
Our swords clash and send out a shock wave of energy destroying the field around us. I swing down with my other sword and she blocks it with her hand. I go to knee her and she blocks with her leg. "You will have to do more than that to beat me," she says. I take a deep breath and she moves back. "You can do that even in your base form?" I breathe out shooting white flames at her. She jumps to the side trying to dodge. I intercept her and slash at her. She flinches in pain and jumps back.
"I will take back my stolen power one way or another," I say. I glare at her and focus my power into my sword.
"You don't deserve it," she says. She dashes forward and swings at me. I block her attack with my sword and counter attack with my other sword. She blocks again with her hand but a wave of energy gets released. She goes flying back. She lands on her feet and slides backwards. She holds her hand up and fires magic at me. I slash threw the spells and I hear her coming from my left so I block her attack. She flips over me and slashes at me again. I block again. She launches herself back and lands on a tree branch.
"You have gotten stronger for sure," she says. "So have I through." She lifts her hand up and a giant magic circle appears. A giant black snake slithers from the circle. I sigh. "Now attack Cartil." The snake looks at her and then turns to me. It comes towards me and I place one my sword into the ground. I hold my hand up and stop the snake. I slide backwards as it pushes me.
"You would betray your real master?" I say and the snake flinches back. It bows its head. "Good boy." I pat its head. I walk back to my sword and pick it up. I laugh. "If you plan to summon things make sure they aren't ones I can control." I look back at the snake. "Take a rest but watch yourself so you don't get in the way."
"How can you still control them?" she says angrily. She dashes forward and slashes at me. I block the attack. I spin and kick her in the side. She goes flying back but recovers. She slides on back. She stops and launches at me. She goes to slash at me. I go to block but she changes direction by hitting the ground with her hand. She goes over me and hits my in the back. I shake it off and turn around.
"Close but not close enough," I say. I raise my swords into the air.
"What are you doing?" she demands. I smirk and swing both swords down sending out 2 Crimson Crescents. She goes to block and they explode upon impact. She flies back into a tree. I look at Exsiege and sigh.
"It seems I have pushed you too much this battle," I say and teleport it away. I turn back to her and as she stands back up. "This is all you have?"
"Why are you holding back Tracil?" a man says and we look into the air. "Stop playing with your food and kill him." I glare at him.
"Zenos," I say. "You finally show your face after all these years. I am taking back what is mine you foolish false priest."
"Father why are you here?" she asks.
"I have come to make sure you do your job," he says. "It seems like you are still pathetic." She looks down.
"I will kill him," she says. She charges forward at me and I block with my sword. I slide backwards as she keeps push harder in her attack. I reach out and grab her arm. I throw her to the side and she recovers fast. She creates another summoning circle and hydra steps out.
"Arthur deal with the Hydra," I say and a glowing knight appears.
"As you wish my lord," he says and charges the hydra.
"King Arthur himself," Zenos says while placing his hand on his chin. "Forbidden magic, I did not expect this. Tracil awaken that power please."
"That power will kill her," I say. "She is not the true holder of it she will die."
"She will be fine," he says. "She isn't a normal girl." I look at her and then back to him.
"You didn't," I say.
"Yes I did," he says. My grip tightens on my sword.
"Infinite Crimson Archangel God King formation," I say but nothing happens. "What is going on? It should have activated." As I am panicking I feel a blade hit my side and I turn to see her. I grab her arm and slam her into the ground. I jump back and wipe the blood off my wound.
"You left an opening," she says and stands back up. "You have lost your king formation, this battle is mine." She laughs. I glare at her.
"It makes no difference," I say. "I will take what is mine." I teleport Endeavor away and summon Excalibur-re. I take a deep breath. "Infinite Crimson Archangel God Knight Formation." My body gets engulfed in Crimson aura and the knight formation armor covers my body. I dash forward at her and swing my sword down at her. She goes to block but shot backwards. I turn to Zenos and jump at him. I slash at him. I hear the sound of hitting metal. I look to see her blocking me to protect him. I grab her arm and throw her down into the ground. I punch Zenos in the chest. He jumps back.
"How dare you," he says and fires magic at me. I jump back dodging the magic.
"Take this," I hear her say. I look down and she has charged a strong attack with some magic added with her own aura. She swings her sword and the attack launches at me. I have no choice I need to activate it. The attack hits me and smoke flies up. "Yes I got him." She smiles but frowns when she still sees me. "How are you alive? And what is that armor?"
"Templar Mode," my armor has changed into white with crimson trim. I hold my left hand up in a blocking position. "This mode activates powers of a bishop and infuses it with a knight. Sure I loose some speed but being able to use spells is nice. Like the shield spell I used before your attack hit me."
"Interesting," Zenos says. "You have created an interesting weapon. I must have it." I laugh.
"Sorry idiot fool," I say. "I can only use it and if you try to force it on her then she will die."
"No matter," he says. "She will be replaced then." I sigh and look at her.
"You have been lying to her long enough," I say. I dash towards her and swing my sword at her. She blocks my attack. "It would be easier if you give up now and I take that power back before you learn the truth."
"Enough," she says and knocks away my sword. She swings at me and I block her attack. I grab her arm and throw her into a tree. She fires magic at her and I hold my hand up creating a shield of magic. I turn to Zenos.
"I will deal with you after her so don't go anywhere," I say and chains wrap around him. He is pull to the ground. He slams into the ground. I turn back to her and she has attacked me again. I jump back and dodge her attack. I place my hand on her chest and a magic circle appears.
"This is holy magic," she says and jumps back. "You really are trying to kill me."
"I told you I would take what is mine by any means," I say. I dash forward and swing at her. She blocks. I grab her arm again but this time I throw her into the air. I raise my hand up and magic circles appear. I send out some magic holy missiles at her. They impact her and she screams. I jump into the air and slash down at her. She is launched down into the ground. A small crater is formed and she coughs up blood. I kneel over her and hold my sword to her neck. "Give me back what is mine."
"Why should you be the one to hold both powers?" she says crying. "It's not fair." I sigh.
"I was gifted both of them," I say. "They are mine so I want the stolen one back." I turn to Zenos. "He is only using you. Did you that he was actually after the powers of God not the Great Devil kings power? He is a pathetic priest who was kick out of the church for doing stupid experiments. You aren't even his real daughter."
"Shut up," she says. "I am his real daughter." I summon another sword and slam it into the ground next to her head. She looks at the sword.
"You are not," I say. "What you are is a fake copy of me." I sigh. "He couldn't control the power so he made you. You are a female clone of me created to control the stolen power and to kill Me." she cries. "I would have preferred not to do this but I need to so I can stop the titans. Forgive me." I remove the sword from her neck and kiss her forehead. Black aura engulfs me. I stand up and stagger back. I scream as the power becomes intense. I see blackness before me.
Part 1.5: The Great War
God and The great devil king are lying on the ground breathing heavy. "It seems we are near our end my old foe," The great devil king says.
"It seems like that," God says. "It is a shame the battle had to restart after we dealt with the dragons."
"I agree," the great devil king says. "One of these days things make change. War only destroys the beauty in the world."
"I agree," God says. "Maybe one day peace will be achieved and we the world can start moving away from chaos."
"Someone will come that will bring about change," the great devil king says.
"Yes I agree," he says. "That same person can not shoulder the whole burden of keeping that peace though. When they time for peace draws close a child will be born that will be the Vanguard of Peace to protect it."
"I say our powers be granted to this child," the great devil king says.
"I agree," God says.
Part 1.75: Unknown location
The vision has faded and I have learned the truth. "I am the vanguard of peace?" I say to myself. "That is a strange destiny. I won't be as strong as Issei in the end but I will do my best." I walk over to Zenos and grab his shirt. I lift him up and smile. "You plan has failed you pathetic failure of a priest. The Vanguard has awakened and you will be the first to see the new form as you die." A circle of black, white, and crimson aura circles around me. It shoots into the sky. "Crimson God king." He screams.
Part 2: Team AxA HQ in Kyoto (before Issei, Vali, and Cartil left the garden)
We have heard nothing yet from Issei, Vali, and Cartil so we have went to the team AxA HQ to plan for the next titan attack. The squad leaders are sitting at the table. "So where do they plan to attack next I wonder," Drago says. "It was all over the place at first but then it was a focus on mount Olympus. If they changed up their tactics then the underworld would be the next target right?"
"They might save it for last," Sona says. "From what was reported, is that Cronus wants Cartil to suffer. So he would likely save the underworld for last."
"So the Gods of Chaos are starting to back the titans more now," Sairaorg says. "This still feels like a distraction for something. Whatever they have planned they need a long lasting distraction for it and I don't like it."
"I agree," I say. "They are may needed a ton of time for they are looking for. Titans may be the current threat but we need to also need to figure out what that group is doing." I look up at the screen and focus on the map.
"Speaking of which," Sairaorg says. "How is Lilian doing now? Rias filled me in on what is happening."
"She is doing fine now," I say. "Seeing Cartil really helped her along with his suggestion to change what she eats. Besides Hanalil, Lilian is the most dependant on Cartil. Due to what happened in her past."
"Its good she is doing better," he says. "Could you do that summon thing again on Cartil?"
"It's a one time use," I say. "I used it up and besides Cartil needs time."
"Can we focus please?" Sona asks.
"Why have you gotten so cold Sona?" Sasha says. "Did you get dumped or are you still having troubles getting a boyfriend?" Sona glares at her. Sasha laughs and leaves the room.
"It's probably Serafall again," I say. "I heard she has moved into your house until the threat is over. If you need to hide from her you may go to my house. Liza would like the company."
"You have changed Yin," Sairaorg says. "You were a lot colder back when I first met you. It's good you have Liza now." I roll my eyes.
"So are you planning on teaching at Cartil's school?" I ask.
"I am not sure," he says. "I may show up as a guest speaker."
"Its good that the school wasn't damaged in the attack," Sona says. "I am surprised Cartil can control Trihexa. I wonder how that's possible."
"Issei and Cartil have been making crazy changes," Sairaorg says. "Its insane when you think about how much has changed in a short time." The door opens and everyone stands up.
"Lord Shiva," I say. "What are you doing here?"
"I was hoping to find out if there was news on Cartil," he says.
"We have heard from him since he went back to the garden," I say.
"I see," he says. "It seems Indra has recovered enough to fight again. Reports are saying he is planning on fighting in the next battle." I sigh.
"Has he recovered is god powers?" Sona asks.
"No," he says. "Cartil's damage to Indra has left him as a demigod for good. So his replacement is being look into." I look back at the map and go back to thinking.
"Have we heard anything from the American gods?" Sona asks.
"They are recovering still from the first attack," I say. "Besides the only one that is allowed to contact them is Cartil." It hits me. "Why are we so stupid?" I run over to the computer and call down to the front. "I need you to contact the 9 tailed fox yokai."
"I understand," the lady says.
"What's going on?" Sona says. "Did you figure out something?"
"They are going to attack here," I say. "Unlike they hero faction, they want to destroy the lines."
"I will alert everyone," Shiva says and he leaves.
"Dulio go inform Michael," I say. "Drago go get the dragons ready."
"I am on it," Drago and Dulio say. They leave.
"Sona I need you to contact everyone and get a defense plan ready," I say. Just then a flash of green light appears in the room and we all turn to watch it. Issei and Vali appear from the light after it fades away. "Oh good you are back. Wait where is Cartil?"
"It seems he had to face a rival to get his lost powers back," Vali says. "We have the blessing of Gaia it will allow us to kill the titans."
"That is good," I say. "So he is facing her finally. I hope things come out okay. Oh Issei, your fiancés are in the other room studying for school. So I would go to them." He nods and leaves the room. I turn Vali. "It seems here will be the next target for our guess. We assume they want to destroy the lines here."
"Break the lines, break the spirit, and cause damage," he says. "It makes sense." A call comes in and I put it up on the big screen.
"Lord Lucifer," I say. "If you are calling to check on things, we assume the next target is Kyoto and the 9 tailed fox. I have already send word to her. I hope she gets it and come here soon."
"Alright," he says. "We are ready to send back up when its need. Oh Vali welcome back. Is Issei and my brother?"
"Only Issei came with me," he says. "Cartil has some unfinished business to take care of first." He nods.
"I understand," he says. He looks away and seems to be talking to someone off screen. He turns back to us. "We are getting strange readings here." We hear and explosion in the distance. Raina runs into the room.
"The titans are here," she says. "We need to go now." I turn to Vali.
"It's your command Vali," I say. He sighs and presses a button on the computer.
"Team AxA," he says. "The titans are attacking Kyoto, everyone mobilize to attack the Titans and their forces." I grab my sword and walk out the door with everyone.
Part 3: Kyoto 10 minutes later
The fight had begun and we were fighting off the army. I dashed forward slicing threw drones. I look over to check on everyone else. Everyone is doing alright and I smile. "Remember make sure they don't get the 9 tail fox," I say. "Why are the titans not moving?"
"Gaia told them to wait for all of us to return," Vali says. "That is probably why. They are waiting for Cartil."
"We are all waiting for Cartil," I say and sigh. "I hope he finishes that fight soon enough." We hear a roar and look over to se Trihexa break through the ground taking out hundreds of drones. "Even without Cartil here it's still defending."
"Don't rest so easily now," Vali say. "The elite soldiers and the royal guard are coming." Suddenly a tremor is felt and we look around. Both sides stop fighting and look around. "What is going on?"
"Hilda was that you?" I say.
"No," she says. "I have no idea who caused that. This is very strange."
"Hold on I am getting a call," I say. "Yes what is it Sirzechs?"
"That tremor was felt here in the underworld," he says. "Michael is also reporting it happened in heaven as well. Something big is coming,"
"Cartil," I say.
"Most likely," he says.
"What kind of power would he gain that would cause this?" Rias says as she walks up with everyone else. "It seems both sides are holding position now." I look over to Nivana.
"The truth is coming," I say and she nods. "This will change everyone now. Cartil might be seen as an enemy now."
"What is going on?" Trisa asks. "Is there something you two haven't told us?"
"I am sorry Yin," Dulio says. "I am being called back to heaven for a short time. Something is going on." I nod and he leaves. I turn towards the enemy. I raise my hand into the air. Clouds begin to form and it starts to rain heavily.
"This will hopefully stop them form seeing our planning," I say and turn back to everyone. "So what are we going to do now?"
"What ever just happened they are also waiting," Sona says. "So that means they are interested in that more than us right now. So we should change up our original plan."
"Are we interrupting something?" Sirzechs says as he walks up with Michael and Azazel.
"We are just planning out something new," I say. Another tremor comes through and we look around. Images appear in Sirzechs, Azazel, and Michael's hands.
"Sorry to interrupt you," the image on Sirzechs hand says. "It seems the systems for all the factions are freaking out.
Part 3.2: Heaven
The alarm is blaring as the system is going crazy. I just returned and everything on gone crazy. "What is going on?" I ask.
"We have no idea," One of the angels says. "Everything was fine until the second tremor. It's like the system knows something is coming before we do."
Part 3.4 Gorgori
The system here is freaking out with alarms blaring. "Something powerful is coming," a fallen angel says. "This will change everything. Azazel may be pleased with it.
Part 3.6: Team AxA HQ in Lilith
I am reading all the information coming through but its coming too fast. "Something big is coming," I say and open communications to Sirzechs. "Whatever is coming, the system is not freaking out that bad here."
Part 3.8: Kyoto
We had just gotten the report from all the factions and it's the same thing except from Devils system. "He is coming," Ophis says and we all turn to her. She has appeared out of no where with Lilith.
"Who is coming?" Issei ask.
"You will see," she says and turns to smile. A third tremor happens and a flash of black light appears in the sky. When it fades a figure is standing there. The figure has horns that go up into a halo. He has no armor but his skin is covered in scales. His hair is crimson and black with a white glow. "Welcome back Cartil." He turns to look at us. He also has a crown on his head.
Part 4: Kyoto
I have just teleported to Kyoto and I am looking around the battlefield. Nothing is as damaged as I expected. I hear a voice and turn back to see everyone. Ophis is even there, so it was her that called me. I land on the ground and walk over to them. "Hello everyone," I say. "What is going on?"
"What is with your look?" Issei asks.
"This my Crimson God King form," I say. "It doesn't appear it but its crazy powerful."
"So the tremors were from you?" Sirzechs says. I blink confused.
"What tremors?" I ask. "I didn't feel any tremors but I guess they could have come from me." I smile. "Mission complete time to end this war." I spin around and hold my hand up. Giant magic circles appear. Magic attacks slam into the circles and disappear. "That was rude Cronus. I am behind your reach now." I laugh and jump into the air. I smirk as twelve angel wings and twelve devil wings on my back.
"What are you?" Cronus says.
"I am Cartil Gremory," I say. "I am the last will of God and the Great Devil King. I was born with both their powers. I am the Vanguard of Peace. I sentence you to death." All the titans fire magic at me and I hold up my hand. Another magic circle appears and absorbs the attack. "Reflect." I fire the magic back at the titans. I laugh.
"Did he use Albion's move?" Issei asks.
"No," Albion says. "Similar move with the same name but different."
"I would say it is inspired by Albion's reflect though," I say. "Though I would say it acts like Tsubaki's mirror, it absorbs the attack then sends it back. Though at the same strength and doesn't require the mirror breaking." I take a deep breath and look around. "Can you guys go to the headquarters please? I do not want you to get in the cross fire." I turn to them. "My lovely wives, I love you all. Now go to a safe place." They nod and run off. I turn to face the titans.
Issei and Vali fly up to me. I smile. "It seems this will be the final battle," Vali says. "Time to show these foolish titans their place."
"Do you both still have the blessing?" I ask.
"Yes," they both say.
"Let me clear the area first," I say and raise my hand up. A giant magic circle appears and starts raining down magic on the drones, elite soldiers, and royal guards. "Now that it's clear lets kill these fools."
"Let's do this," we all say.
