Life 3.
I, Rias, am behind the Phoenix Palace with Akeno, thinking about what we should do with Raiser.
"Akeno, this is bad. I feel like I've run out of options. I don't know what to do."
I had began to break down ever since I was taken away from the rest of my servants.
"It's alright Rias, count on your servants to get you out of here. Believe in us. I think Issei, Kiba-kun, and Koneko-chan have a plan."
"Akeno, there's no way they can do this!"
"Listen to me, Rias! They're all in the underworld right now!"
"What?! How did Issei… don't tell me he got in illegally!" He could get arrested!
"I think he did get in illegally… but he's most likely not going to get caught, because he's the Sekiryuutei."
"But there's no way they can beat Raiser!" They'll be killed!
"They probably have something up their sleeves." What could they have?
"Wait, if they're in the underworld, then the only place they could be is at the Gremory Palace! Ohhh... I get it now."
"What is it, Rias?"
"Kiba's most likely trying to get help from Souji Okita."
"Do you actually think Souji-sama would help them?!"
". No, probably not."
"I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens."
"Well, the wedding's in three hours, so they better get here fast!"
"Well, I'm sorry Rias, but for now I have to go. First though, I need to take a picture of the palace, to send the picture to Kiba."
Issei's coming to save me? It's expected of him, I guess!
I, Issei Hyoudou, am going to get Buchou back with Kiba, and Koneko-chan. We're about to head over to the Phoenix Palace, but we need Akeno-san to send Kiba a photo of the palace to make the magic circle with Koneko-chan.
"Finally! I got it! But the picture's a bit vague, it will take a few minutes."
"Kiba senpai, do you need my help?"
"It would make it a lot easier, thanks Koneko-chan." I wonder what Buchou is doing right now. I swear if Raiser tries do anything with her, I'm going to annihilate him! Though, I feel a bit uneasy about this Balance Breaker. But I need to use it, so I can save Buchou. Ahhh, Buchou. Her perfect Crimson colored hair, her gigantic oppai.
"Ok! It's ready!" I guess this is it! Ahhh, it's about time that I reunite with Buchou!
"Issei-senpai. I have to carry you again." Are you fucking kidding me?! Are there even ANY other devils than me that can't teleport from a magic circle? I was a failure as a human, but now I'm a failure as a devil… Ooohh, Koneko-chan is putting my body against her crotch!
We stepped into the red magic circle that represents the House of Gremory, and a few seconds later we arrived at a peculiar field with no vegetation at all.
"Um, Koneko-chan. Can you please let go of me now?"
"Sure, senpai!" Ow, fuck! She dropped me onto the hard dirt, face first!
"What the hell was that?!"
"Lecherous thoughts are forbidden." Damn, how does she keep reading my mind?! Did Koneko-chan get psychic abilities?
"Let's focus. We need to get to Rias before she gets to the wedding!"
"You're right, pretty boy. We need to find the Phoenix Palace."
"I found it."
"What, Koneko-chan? How did you find it so easily?! I can't see anything around here."
"You think it's time we tell him the truth, Koneko-chan?"
"Issei-senpai. This may be difficult for you to understand, but I'm a cat. See?" Woah! Cat paws, cat ears, and a tail?! Is she serious?
"Umm, Koneko-chan. What did you just say?"
"I'm a cat. To be more specific, I'm a nekomata, which is why I can use senjutsu, and why I know the Phoenix Palace is over to your left. I have cat senses, too." This is insane! My Koneko-chan is a cat?!
"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?!"
"Well, I didn't think it was that huge of a deal." Now that I think about it, this is kind of like a loli-cat cosplay!
"Well, I hate to interrupt, but we need to get to Buchou, now!"
1 hour later
We finally got to the Phoenix Palace. It's a lot smaller, and less magnificent than the Gremory Palace.
"Holy shit! I'm done sprinting for miles at a time! We should take a minute to relax, before we fight Raiser."
"I hate to break it to you, Issei-kun, but there's no time for that."
"Ughhhhh, fine."
"Good for nothing devil."
"That's harsh, koneko-chan..." She really hates me, doesn't she!
"Anyways, how will we find Buchou?" It's not like we can just enter the Palace, since it's the Phoenix palace.
"That shouldn't be too much of a problem. She's probably with Raiser, so once we find one, we'll find the other."
"Let's look around the Palace first, since the wedding may be starting soon."
"It's starting in an hour."
"How do you know, Koneko-chan?"
"Are you blind? It says it right over there, Issei-kun. Right now it's 12:56 PM, and it starts at 2:00 PM."
"Shit, that means that they could already be at where the wedding happens!"
"You're right, Issei-kun. In that case, things will get a bit more complicated."
"Complicated? Oh no, don't tell me it will be one of those cliché things from movies, where we bust into the place, right before the priest or whoever says "You may now kiss the-" BAM! The door opens and we save Buchou. "
"Will you ever shut up, Issei-senpai?"
"What the hell are we doing just sitting here talking?! We'll be late if we don't get moving!"
While we all are just arguing outside of the Phoenix Palace, we see two people walking out of the front doors. The person we were looking for, all along.
