(Thinking) ("Ddraig Speaking") ("Albion Talking") Flashback
Angel's Dust
"Ashes to ashes, Dust to dust. We are nothing, but dust and to dust we shall return. Amen."
"The Princess and the Phenex"
What started as peaceful event for a group of devil peerages turned into a convulated mess.
"Go to Ireland to kill vampires they said! It would be fun they said!" the devil princess panted.
Her hand comforting the shellshocked Koneko while firing energy blasts at the unimaginably fast Senjoutsu user.
"Rias-buchou! Please let me... let me fight!" Koneko stuttured.
"No way Koneko! You're still traumatized in seeing your stray relative! We'll protect you and kill her once and for all!" Rias proclaimed bravely.
"Don't worry! We'll be here!" Kiba and Akeno simultaneously comforted, earning them nods from the first year.
All of the Gremory Peerage standed their ground from the attacker. Ready to kill and be rid of her.
Kuroka wasn't pleased in the slightest. Seeing a group of devils blocking her way to her precious Shirone made her temper flare.
She made an annoyed pout, gripping her crucifix necklace tightly.
"I am gonna enjoy pummeling you all in the ground!" she screech. She then collided her fist to the wooden floor, the impact caused the whole floor shaking violently. The shockwave managed to subdue Kiba and Akeno, sending them flying towards the wall.
Riser and his own peerage got fascinated with the new being in the room.
"Impressive. A powerful nekoshou... she could make a very powerful bishop!" the Phenex exclaimed in an excited tone.
"Riser-sama. What should we do?" Yubelluna politely asked, as she analyzed the battle unfolding before her eyes.
"Restrain her. She will be very useful as our new ally!" he respinded, a peverted grin began to form in his face.
"..."
Kuroka stopped her barrage and relinquished her pursuit for her sister for a moment and turned her head to the young Phenex.
She made a dangerous yet cat-like smirk towards them. The Phenex women then covered their master with their arms.
"Don't you dare move any closer." The purple-haired woman threathened as she moved her slender arm to protect her beloved King.
"Who could've thought... I can kick the Phenex's ass tonight." she whispered silently.
Kuroka then violently clasped her eyes together, a bright, green aura started protuding from her fingers. Her hands slowly parted from the clasp and a green orb was revealed to the devils in the room. Koneko just stared her elder sister in both horror and awe; Kuroka was truly a senjoutsu master.
Riser laughed before pointing his finger toward the voluptuous woman. "Let's see what you've got. Stray!" he expressed dramatically.
"Bring it on, little bird." she shouted.
The black cat then dashed towards the whole devil peerage at a fast pace; effortlessly dodging the futile attempts of Riser's queen at incinerating her.
Rias just stared at Kuroka in absolute shock. She and all of her beloved servants were mockingly weak compared to the Nekoshou.
"Rias..." Akeno quipped in worry.
"I suggest that we should hold back and let the Phenex clan take on the stray, Rias-buchou. We aren't powerful enough to kill her." Kiba analyzed.
The redhead sighed as she gripped Koneko's shoulder in a comforting manner. The dhampir Gasper was already hiding behind Akeno, tears were already streaming in his eyes from all the terror.
"This is truly an exhilerating experience tonight my dear Nekoshou! It would be your great honor to stay down and join my all powerful peera-"
The bishop, Mihae, could only look in shock as she saw her master's jaw connected squarely at Kuroka's fist. Sending the young devil crashing through severals walls at high speed.
"Master!" they all cried.
Yubelluna bited her lip in anger. "Karlamine! Follow me and kill this bitch!" she barked.
"Siris and Mira. Care for our King!" she continued before a gloved hand proceeded to choke her neck, surprising her greatly.
"How did you... garhh!" she choked. Kuroka's grip getting tighter by the second.
The nun-wearing woman could offer a gleeful smirk as she elbowed Riser's rook without a problem. The four twins decided to join the fray before being intercepted with a powerful wave of green energy, knocking them out.
She formed a killer grin.
"Oh come on. A full set of devils fighting little old me? I expected more from you heathens."
Yubelluna was immediately thrown like a ragdoll across the hallway floor. Everytime her body collided with the wooden floor made a uncomfortable thud. Losing consciousness, she surrendered pathetically.
Kuroka then made an arrogant laugh.
"So this is the great Riser's peerage? What a bunch of stupid-"
Pillars of fire then engulfed the hallway, burning away what's left of the building's second floor. We now see an angered blonde man with a cold expression on his face. Golden fire were comming out from his palms in fury.
Kuroka's eyes could only widen as her body was assaulted with large plumes of fire.
"I would tear you apart and send you to oblivion you worthless stray!" he shouted.
The barrage continued for several seconds before the young devil decided it was overkill at this point. The hospital was now a burning mess.
He then manipulated the flames to be extinguished. He wanted to see the charred remains of his victim as the smoke was beggining to clear.
"Serves you right. Even though you could've become a fine warrior, you have to choose the hard way." he proclaimed.
"Well that settles that... I guess." Rias said with wide eyes of disbelief. Akeno and the others fully agreeing with her.
"Sister..." Koneko thought with a mixture of relief and worry. Her sister was dead, after only interacting with her for a few minutes, the sister that abandoned her was finally dead.
He face his injured harem members. They were bruised but alive, the information comfortinh him greatly
Riser then turned around to face his fiance. A wide grin on his arrogant head.
"Well. Now my beautiful Rias! Now you can see why you would never hope to defeat me!" he taunted.
Rias could only roll her eyes in displeasure. She was going to make a sarcastic remark before a suffocating force was felt in the atmoshere. Kiba and the others were now having difficulty in breathing, Gasper was experiencing headaches. Most of the devils were experiencing pain, sending most of them down in their knees.
Riser was also starting to feel an annoying sensation in his head. The deadly force only grew stronger as seconds pass.
"What is happening?" the Gremory heir growled as she massage ger forehead in discomfort.
Akeno then began shaking in fear as she was now stuttering nonsense words.
"Rias! What's wrong with your queen?" Riser said with little sensitivity.
A loud, clanging sound was heard.
Sirzechs Lucifer, formerly the great heir of the Gremory Clan, now the de facto leader of all devil-kind; was pacing around in circles in his office. A terrified and disturbed expression on his chiseled face. His loyal maid, Grayfia of the now extinct Lucifuge clan watched with a calm demeaner, one of hands holding a respectful amount of documents.
Sirzechs then proceeded to ruffle his long hair in annoyance as he stared at the white-haired beauty before him.
"Grayfia... please don't tell me that my precious Rias is in danger!" he stuttured.
She closed her eyes for a moment to adjust to the tense atmosphere.
"Forgive me Lucifer-sama, but based on our intelligence officer on the Vatican. It was proven that Iscariot Section XIII is on the move in Ireland."
Sirzechs could only stare at the woman with terrified eyes of understanding.
"To be specific... it was Baderick, Ireland. Coincidentally the same place as the Gremory and Phenex Peerages agreed to arrange their little party."
The lavish office room suddenly turned chilly as the great devil began to shake in worry and fear. The Devil King then sat down in his chair and prepared to sign some papers in haste.
He sighed.
"The Iscariot Organization... the most powerful agents under the banner the Holy Catholic Church. Unlike regular exorcists, they're professional, trained Assassins that deals with many of the horrors of the supernatural. The dreaded Black Operations Unit, even I actively avoid in engaging large of a force did the Church send?"
"Surprisingly, only two Sirzechs-sama were deployed." she politely answered, leaving her King visibly confused.
"Interesting. Who are they?" he complained.
"One is the former Class SSS Stray Devil Nekoshou, a master of the Senjoutsu arts. The Black Cat, she was recruited in the Vatican only six months ago."
"Yes. Yes, I rembered her... little Koneko's sister I presume. Well, they sent a strong one indeed. Riser may have something on his plate tonight."
Grayfia bit her lip. "Who's the other one?" he questioned as he took a sip of coffee from his mug.
"The other one is... "
"The paladin, Issei Hyoudou. Father Hyoudou."
The Lucifer almost choked in his drink.
"Did you said... Father Hyoudou?!" he cringed.
"Yes."
He gripped both of his hand with a contemplative look. "Great Red only knows if he met with Rias... and Riser."
Silence divide the two for a couple of moments.
"I must go there at once!" he proclaimed.
The maid shook her head. "The devil faction is on thin ice with the Church as of now Sirzechs-sama. You can't possibly afford to have another war with them. After the civil war, our forces were severely weakened. If you choose to kill that exorcist right now, the Devil world will utterly collapse."
"But Rias is in danger! She's going to die! Riser could never hope to protect them... that priest is too strong..." he said with an angry huff.
"I could go Baderick immediately if that could help ease your worries. If the situation calls for it, I could neutralize him. He's just a man afterall." she suggested before being silenced by her husband's palm.
"No! I could never let you near that priest! Even someone of your calber could take a fatal blow from that agent!" he swore, making him scratch his head in worry.
She was confused.
"Is that man too strong... even for an Ultimate Class?" she thought.
"I'll leave for Baderick at once. Prepare my armor. Prepare my teleportion emblem and prepare two of my knights. I'll go there myself." he ordered.
She could only nod as she headed to follow her instructions.
"I'll do it immediately, Sirzechs-sama."
The room was beggining to shake violently from the aura of the Lucifer King.
Sirzechs gripped the paper as he began to read it aloud.
"Paladin Hyoudou. The Executioner. Bayonet Hyoudou. The Angel's Dust. Place of origin... unknown. Weaknessess... unknown. Age... unknown. Everything about him besides monikers are unknown. The Church can really protect their secrets. Oh Rias... please hold on.
The sound of omnious footsteps were getting louder as it came closer to the group.
All of them prepared themselves for another threat as Riser could only smirk arrogance.
They saw a tall, brunette man wearing a simple, gray priet's outfit. Two glowing bayonets in his hands as he strided towards the group. A wide grin was plastered on his face.
He stopped to analyze the situation. Most of the hallway was in shambles, the demolished walls barely supporting the roof. Ashes of former furniture were cluttered in all directions.
"Who are you?" Riser casually said in a mocking tone.
"It seems you devils... had fun with my partner it seems." he joked.
Riser could only proudly smile.
"Aren't you a little too peppy that I just killed your precious stray in front of you?"
Issei raised his eyebrow but maintained his grin. He could find Kuroka later.
"Really? If you killed the cat... that means you're a strong one." he commented, boosting the Phenex's ego.
"But of course! I'm the legendary Riser from the Phenex clan. One of the most powerful and talented among the devil youth." Riser bragged, not realizing that everyone around him were trembling at the priest.
Issei laughed.
"Very interesting! This could be a wonderful hunt afterall. The vampire wasn't really a rememorable experience. I'm hoping that you and your devil friends could entertain me." he sneered as he smacked his two blades together. He then threw the bayonets at great speed, with the Phenex barely dodging it.
"The hell was-" he complained before a large fist then suckered punch him, making him lose his balance. Issei then performed a high knee to the gut, immobolizing Riser for a moment.
Rias' peerage then began to attack the priest. Kiba bravely swinging his sword in an attempt to disable his foe.
But the blonde knight stopped his valiant run, a shocked expression on his face as he stared Issei in the eye.
Pllars of yellow light began to mark every inch of the knight's body, making him scream in pain. (Imagine Kiba being hit by Hit's timeskip move in Dragonball Super.)
He was then shoved by the exorcist, sending him crashing through a stack of walls. Unconscious.
"What a dumb one..." he mocked before lightning was heard cackling as Akeno manipulated her power to avenge her fallen friend.
"Everyone attack!" the Gremory shouted lividly.
Yubelluna also ordered her friends to charge towards the lone priest.
Issei could only laugh. He manifested a dozen of bayonets before throwing all of them. The devils barely managing to dodge every one of them.
As the devils were busy not getting stabbed, he set his sights on the woozy Phenex. Issei gripped Riser's collar and began to lift him up with both if his arms.
"Amen!"
The sound of broken wood was heard all across the hallway.
It was incredible. Unbelievable and absolutely terrifying.
One of the most powerful devil youths were being tossed like nothing as a tall priest was heard cackling in a demented laugh.
"For those will also drink the wine of God's wrath, poured full strength with the cup of His divine anger. They will be tormented with fire and sulfur. With the presence of the angels and in the presence of the lamb." he proclaimed as he began to butcher the blonde man.
Every stab of the holy blade cursed the Phenex's body with unbearable pain.
"Who... are you!" he muttered before being tackled to the ground with a swift motion of the newcomer's jackboot.
"They will be tormented in the burning inferno of sulfur and brimstone for all of eternity. No rest, no day nor night. They will be given what they truly deserve... a death of a heathen!" the cloaked man growled in glee.
Rias could only stare in true fear as her "annoying and unasked for" fiance being tortured and pummeled to the ground. His wounds barely regenerating and keeping him alive.
All of his peerage members were knocked out, some already sporting fatal wounds and some of the girls only had black eyes. Yubelluna's body was seen tossed towards a couple of walls, foolishly trying to protect her king. Her body barely breathing.
In the span of a few seconds, after they heard a clanging metal sound as the fire dissipated. They were hit by something worse than a hurricane. A booming shockwave made itself known in the abandoned hospital.
She could see the insane grin made by the brunette as he effortlessly impaled his bayonet to Riser's heart, and collided his large fist to his face.
His very presence said shivers in her spine, his aura suffocating and giving her a massive headache. She turned to see her knight unconscious, her dhamphir Bishop desperately trying to wake him up. Yuuto Kiba was really brave man to face the priest without even asking for orders..
She then faced her queen, tears were already streaming in her eyes as she clearly see the pain, fear, and dread in her best friend's face.
Koneko was also barely standing, a crimson liquid leaking from her lip. He former fear being replaced in anger.
Sound of chainsaws being turned on and being destroyed was heard, two little twins crying as the brunette backhanded the machinery with little effort.
Rias could only shout at the priest with venomous leak from her throat.
"What the hell are you!" she barked.
Issei heard her pathetic plea. He finally locked eyes with the Gremory Princess, his smirk never leaving from his condescending face.
He stopped squishing the battered body of the Phenex and began to stalk towards the injured Gremory group.
Hyoudou then adjusted his glasses, the moonlight shining through them, giving him a more terrifying look.
Rias backed away in terror.
A silent pause. His grin getting larger as he approached the Gremory.
Issei was suddenly tackled by an angered devil.
Riser was bleeding profusely, his wound barely healing but regenerating nonetheless. Rias could literally see that there was still a blade lodged in his back.
"No one! No one disrespects me and gets away alive!" he screeched before kicking Issei with a thundering kick in the face.
The two started their slugfest, heavy blows were traded. Riser dashed his attacks at great speed, getting a few combos at the exorcist's face, making Issei bleed in his forehead.
He then formed a small spiral of flame from his palm and began to charge it.
"You incorrigible buffoon. I'm going to make sure you are goin to burn a slow, painful death!"
The sphere of malevolent flames was then catapulted towards the exorcist. Issei, for the first time in this night, was surprised. He use his arms to cover his head as the flame began to engulf the torn hallway once more.
"Consider this a parting gift Papist! This is what happens when you mess with the devil of the Phenex Clan!" Riser shouted as he happily watched how his fire collided with the priest's face.
The hospital was now burning with no signs of stopping.
Riser then started to stagger a bit, taking deep breaths in order to compose himself. He painfully removed the blessed blade from his back and discarded it in the side.
He then let out a helpful arm towards his fiance.
"Tch. His little toy actually stung a little."
"Here, let me help you, these things could be actually trouble. Even for the likes of us." He solemnly held out.
The Gremory fought the urge to accept his help but her wounds proved otherwise. She needed to care for her peerage as soon as possible.
"Well hurry now my dear fiance, we need to help your little "family" before my flames will eat away what remains of this ancient building."
Rias blushed for a moment, her arm starting to reach at her fiance's hand. A large, looming form was seen standing behin the young devil.
"Riser-sama! Look out!" Kalarmine screamed.
Riser didn't had the chance to turn around as he was suddenly impaled in both of his shoulders. He tried to move only to feel a burning pain even worse than before.
"Okay. This is getting really boring. You need to stop letting your guard down, I mean... you left your guard up, like three times already." Issei teased as he began to twist the bayonets, savoring the anguish he was causing.
"You're really quite the resilient little devil... most heathens would turn into ashes with only one stab from my hand."
Riser could stare in shock and pain. "How are you alive!"
"Please. Dont flatter yourself. Did you actually think someone of my power could be defeated by a simple fireworks show? Hahahahaha!"
"Arghhh... Yubelluna!" he cried.
The mad exorcist was then surrounded with a recuperated Phenex peerage around him.
He stared around the beautiful women, he tightened his grip on the blonde man. He smirked.
"Okay. I had enough of this. All of you are so boring as of late... I bet the redhead will prove more fun. Besides, fighting on a collapsing building is not really my style." he joked once more.
His cracked his knuckles as he lowered his bayonet and kneeled.
("Explosion!") a booming voice pronounced.
(Rias Gremory POV)
We manged to retreat in the Parking lot, sustaining only bruises and minor injuries.
As I tended for my injured knight, my beloved peerage was undoubtly disturbed as the collapsing building was suddenly swallowed up by a deluge of yellow light. Akeno immediately shielded us from most of the shockwave, but even with the shield, the very aura of the explosion was completely unnerving and overwhelming.
For a few seconds, the light vanished and we can now see the charred remains of the building. My queen removed the barrier and began to sigh heavily from the exhaustion.
"Buchou! Are you alright!"
I heard Koneko asked in worry, her once ironed school uniforn torned to shreds.
Thankfully, all of us didn't sustain any fatal wounds, thank the Maou for that. This whole night was a complete disaster I must complain.
I sighed as I gazed at the debris. My parents owe me quite the explanation, only a few hours with that Riser and this happened.
I looked up with wide eyes as I saw exactly a dozen figurs floating up high in the air, all thanks to my night vision. I saw squinted, I confirmed all the figures were Riser and his harem.
I gave Akeno a simple look and she nodded.
"I'll take care of Kiba-kun, please help them." Koneko volunteered.
I then turned to my little Bishop, Gasper.
"Gasper... can you try to atleast slow them down as Akeno and I will rescue them."
"I'll... try Rias-buchou!" he cutely stammered.
He raised both of his shaking arms that began to glow a hint of dark blue. Suddenly, all of the Phenex group slowed down a little.
"Good Gaspi... you've been training Ara ara." I heard Akeno teased.
"That will be enough, please wait for a minute." I pleaded as we both took off.
Saving the fallen phenex members were relatively easy compared to fighting the two exorcists again.
After a few minutes, all of them were safely in the ground.
I asked Riser in an insensitive tone.
"What happened there?! Did you blew up the whole building now?"
Riser just huffed and stared at him with a weakened grin. "Bloody papist just blew himself up... what an idiot. Thinking that he could kill the great Riser."
I rolled my eyes in uninterest.
"Listen, Riser... we need to contact our families to alarm them about the exorcist."
I saw his queen strangely agreeing with me, her arm being bandaged by Akeno herself.
"I might not disagree with you there, my beloved." he said with gritted teeth as he massaged his broken rib.
The atmosphere was now finally calm, the last of the flames dying out peacefully.
"I guess that wraps our little-"
I screamed as I saw my hated fiance being impaled by a dozen and more of blessed blades. One of which managed to hit him the neck. I barely fought the urge to vomit from the gory sight.
"Amen!"
(Third POV)
"Did you miss me?!" he screamed as he choked one of Riser's knights into could see that the priest was alive and well, some burns here and there, some torn vestments, but alive.
The arrogant son of the Phenex was currently out of the fight, his wounds not healing anymore. Most of his peerage were too weak to fight and lost hopelessly.
The only devils capable of fighting were Akeno, Gasper, Koneko and Rias herself.
"How are you..." Akeno questioned, her hands starting to glow a yellowish tint.
The wicked exorcist just laugh as he threw the barely breathing girl and turned his direction to the Gremory Queen.
He then showed his burned and withered hand, which was slowly regenerating its wounds to normal.
He cocked his head to the side. "I heal pretty fast." he bragged as he showcased his new arm.
Issei started to stalk towards the the three devils, Gasper already crying in utter fear and terror. "Rias-nee... what should we do!" he squeaked.
"Gasper, stand behind Akeno. We'll handle him." Rias said with confidence.
"How brave and foolish of you. I like those kind of heathens that would rather die in honor!" Issei taunted before finally started his rampage.
"Destruction!"
Rias then shot two orbs of the Bael's infamous potent abilty. Issei dodged one of them with ease, but Rias fired another one and hit him at point blank.
"I got you!" she cried in triumph.
"Tank!" he proclaimed as he continued to run towards her, not even taking a scratch.
He blitzed around the devil heiress and stream of a white flash, making her dizzy, not knowing what to hit. She then stared at her queen in worry.
"Akeno! Leave with Gasper! I'll hold him off. Get help from any of the Maou!" she pleaded as fired another demonic blast in futile.
"I can't leave you Rias!" the priestess responded.
"Do it!"
Akeno was planning to join her friend in death but she must follow her king, she sprouted two of her devil wings and began to retreat with the Dhampir in the sky.
"Oh no you don't."
He threw his bayonet up in the air at the two devils. It didn't even remotely reached the two and just flew past them.
Rias blinked. "You missed." she casually said before being dragged by the hair.
"I wasn't aiming for them, princess." he said with glee.
The thrown bayonet began to glow immensely before a series of countless of yellow parchments began to surround the airspace.
Rias could only watch in terror as two of her beloved friends were seen crashing downwards in the nearby village.
"What a sight, don't you agree?"
"Monster!" Rias flailed as she was being dragged around like a broken toy.
Issei took delight in her screams, his blood knight persona taking over his usual calm demeaner.
"Go on then squeal. Squeal like the pathetic devil you are. Quite resistent I may add."
Rias stared at him with an icy glare, a small stream of red liquid leaking from her lip.
"I must say, you were the wonderful little opponent. Much weaker than that "fire fellow" but more compassionate. You seem to hold a great deal of bond and respect for your slaves." the exorcist started as he looked down on his chained prisoner.
"Monster! You killed them! You killed them!" she exclaimed with aching venom.
"Oh please. My barrier could at best, electrified them like a simple tazer. Nothing too serious from their fall considering it was atleast twenty feet in the air. They will survive... unconscious but alive." he said with a simple shrug.
"What do you want! If you want to kill me... kill me then! Leave them out of this!" she barked but was silenced as the painful sensation emitting from the priest's increased aura.
"What a flare hahahahaha! Aren't you a treat! What clan are you from? I'll guess that you're part of the Bael, considering yur powers."
He was met with an angered grunt.
"But guessing from your unusually red hair and eyes... you're a Gremory."
Silence was her response.
Issei gave her a disappointed expression. "You're no fun at all."
"Rias-buchou!" a soft voice called out.
Rias widened her eyes in fear as Issei eyed at the small girl.
"No. Don't hurt Koneko!" she demanded but was thrown away carelessly.
He released two of his bayonets and swang them with precision and accuracy, barely grazing Koneko. The white nekoshou then performed a series of punches to the priest's torso. It was ineffective.
Hyoudou smirked.
Koneko retreated but stumbled on her backside from fatique.
The exorcist continued to stalk towards the white cat girl, not listening to Rias' broken pleas.
"So you are Shirone that Kuroka seems to babble all the time. I'm glad we finally met."
"Get.. away from me..."
The situation was now tense, tears were already streaming from her eyes seeing her rook being cowered in fear.
"You seem to have the power... you could even beat your older sister if properly trained. Nekoshous are really ineresting."
He put a gloved hand on her chin, like a father scanning for any scratches on his children.
"All I need is to remove your devil piece and the Vatican-"
"Stop It! Stop Hurting Us!" a loud voice exclaimed.
Issei found himself unable to move, his movements being restricted by an unknown force. He only manage to move his eyes a little to see the little boy of a Dhampir flaring an omnious aura, his eyes glowing in a disturbing red light in his pupils.
"What the heck is this?" he thought.
"You will not hurt my family! Never!" Gasper screamed, putting all of his focus on the dreaded man.
He coud feel his breathing and even his very blood circulation slowing down. He never thought a small could be holding so much power.
("Hypocrite.") a Familair voice deadpanned in his mind.
"Not now lazy dragon."
("Just saying. You of all people must know how powerful can a child could be.")
"Really not the time. I don't want to kill the little girl. I was just having fun."
("Serves you right. You really had to make things hammy don't you? I mean come on, you could start a war!")
"Shush Ddraig, I'm thinking of a plan... how not to kill a devil but trying to break free from... this?"
("Forbidden Balor View. One of the most deadly of Sacred gears. The Evil Eye that Stops the World. It has the power to control time and constrict movements as its Bearer commands it. It seems that you may have triggered the Dhampir to use it though.")
"Great. I can't move without endangering the girl. I could wait for him to pass out?"
("Wouldn't recommend it. You angered her so much that she's draining her own life force just to kill you. If this keeps up for five minutes or less... she would die.")
"Son of a Protestant Whore!" he cursed.
("You just had to bully them? I mean you're really taking the whole fanatic part of your resume a little too far.")
"Just shut your trap and let me think..."
As he pondered on what to do, he saw an annoying face that he shouldn't be seeing right now.
"Nya. Aren't you looking so dashing tonight! "The whole-stuck thing" suits you very well, Issei-nya!" she purred.
Issei tried to retort but all Kuroka could hear was muffled voices of dismay.
She shrugged happily.
"Really Kuroka?! You choose now to reveal yourself! Where were you!" he telephatically shouted.
"I've been watching your little "bullying". Besides, putting out the Phenex flames in your nun outfit with a tiny vial of holy water was really hard, nya." Kuroka explained while showing her ruined uniform, most of the black skirt being burned up, the former conservative outfit was now a makeshift mini skirt.
Which Issei tried his best not to stare down.
"You like, nya?" Kuroka teased, seeing a small tint of red forming in her superior's cheeks.
He twitched his eyes in dismay.
The cat woman just raised her arms in a defensive matter. "Alright, alright. I'll handle the girl with the magic eyes. Don't get your knickers in a twist."
Issei could only grumble as he observed the nun carelessly disabling the Dhampir by simply flicking his forehead.
Kuroka grinned as the priest broke free from the Balor View.
"You are so getting punished tonight." he grumbled.
"Nya. Wouldn't have it any other way. Besides, I finally found Shirone! We should take her with us!" she bounced with glee.
Issei was about to rebuke his comrade before stopping when he felt a powerful force within his presence. He frowned when he saw the Lucifer Maou wearing a controlled and neutral expression in his face. His regal armor reflecting the moonlight in splendor. His ultimate knight behind him, as well us the downtrodden remnants of Phenex Peerage and including Riser himself. Akeno was also present behind Sirzechs, tired but still angry.
Rias smiled grew even further as she shouted for her brother.
"Brother!"
Sirzechs smiled for his sisster before facing the two Iscariot soldiers with a serious demeanor.
"I suggest you withdraw, Papist."
Issei flashed a demented grin, excited to see such a powerful being in his presence.
"Withdraw now, Father Hyoudou. Neither the underworld nor the Iscariot Organization could afford for this sort of battle to escalate any further. "
Sirzechs then flared his aura in an attempt to scare them but was met with clear disobedience.
"Withdraw now. I don't care who you think you are Father Hyoudou, but if chose to disregard my efforts for peace. I'll say that you're actions will not be tolerated any further." the Maou said, his words getting more higher in volume.
Issei dropped his smile to form a disgusted frown.
"Withdraw? Are you ordering me? You think that you can order around the Iscariot Organization? You must be losing your head Lucifer Sirzechs."
"Please Father Hyoudou. Stop now, we don't need to take the hard route to this situation." Sirzechs threatened.
Issei manifested a long blade and pointed towards the devils. Souji Okita, Sirzechs ultimate knight began to draw his long sword as well in defense.
"You expect the Iscariot Organization, God's own chosen instruments of divine judgement... to just withdraw? I don't think so. As exorcists, we have the outmost right to kill any heathen within our Catholic Territory.
Sirzechs held his breath to control his twitching arm from retaliating.
"I suggest that you listen to Sirzechs-sama, priest. You have no idea who you are up against." Okita informed. Everyone, even Riser silently nodding in acceptance of the fact.
Sirzechs continued to stare at the young priest with cold eyes, he had seen enough of this man hurting his sister. He took great lengths in controlling his temper and not handling any murder cases.
"I respect your authority in Ireland but hunting my sister down is not an excuse. We may have made a huge error on our parts in letting them be here in the first place but I'm asking for you to stop this bloodshed."
"Father. I think we should retreat now. We can never hope to beat them at our current standing. We can't risk innocent lives being slaughtered if we start a war. Maybe it's time to call it quits for now." Kuroka assumed. Unhappy with the fact that her precious Shirone was glaring at her with pure hatred.
("Issei. Surprisingly, Kuroka is right this time. This hunt is over. Live to fight another day as they say.")
Hyoudou bited his lip in bitterness, maybe he overdid it this time, the idea of retreating with your enemies still standing was not a graceful action in his eyes.
He glared at the Gremory and then to Riser who was also preparing to defend himself.
"I can't believe I am even doing this but I have no cards left in my name this time. I'll withdraw for now, Lord Lucifer. I' am terribly sorry for any inconvenience I made tonight. Even I am not dumb enough to fight with a super devil at dead of the night."
Issei then revealed a large Bible book from his cloak and opened it. Numerous parchments of enhanted pages began to encircle the two. The devils watched with fear and a mixture of relief as they are now finally leaving.
"I hope no bad blood will come between our sides, Lucifer. It was just a misunderstanding on both of our parts."
Issei then faced Riser with a demented gleam in his eyes. "We will meet again Riser Phenex and Rias Gremory!"
"Bye Shirone, nya! I'll be back for you!" Kuroka hummed as she waved at her sister.
The holy scriptures proceeded to surround them.
"And next time. I'll put you in your place." Hyoudou omniously proclaimed with a vicious smirk as the two left with a bright flash.
(Gremory Household)
"Rias, my princess are you alright!?" Zeoticus asked his daughter in an agitated tone.
Rias could winced as some of her maids continue to heal her wounds and the rest of her peerage being taken care of as well.
Riser and his harem had already left for their own estate as well after exchanging weak pleasantries.
Sirzechs could only sit down with his mother, explaining all that happened.
"Rias, we were so worried... the soon that we know that the Iscariot had deployed... we were so..." her father stammered as his son could only ease up his tension.
Rias could only stare at her injured family peerage with a sad disposition. Koneko was visibly traumatized in seeing her stray sister again.
She looked at her brother with an angered pout. She wanted answers right now.
"Brother, why didn't you tell us that Ireland was now Catholic Territory?"
Sirzechs sighed before motioning Grayfia to explain.
"Forgive us Rias-sama. Our intelligence were having a difficult time on what the Church, most notably the Catholic sect, is doing. Most of their activities and actions were so secured and secretive even we couldn't had expected. We only allowed you and Riser-sama to enter Baderick because it was formerly Anglican land. Which we had permission."
Rias listened on the information being relayed by the maid as she continued.
"We only found earlier this evening that the Vatican managed to secure the country as their own. Intelligence founded out that the two warring Christian sects were having a secret war with each other. Unlike our previous civil wars... their's is mainly on political influence... with the the Roman Catholics gaining ground as we speak."
"All thanks to their current Pope and his effective new policies and high tolerance." Shoko added with a light smirk.
"As we acknowledged that Ireland was now part of the Vaticans sphere of influence... it was too late to inform you. Forgive us Rias-sama." Grayfia ended with a bow.
Akeno decided to ask some questions as well.
"What about Koneko's evil sister. How can you allow her be free as of now. Shouldn't she be dead just beacuse a bounty is on her head!?"
"Well... Koneko-chan's sister is technically not a Stray devil anymore. Actually she's a nun now hehehe." the powerful knight chimed. Earning him the shocked faces of Rias' peerage.
Koneko was no exception. "You are saying... my sister is now a Catholic nun working for Iscariot... how?" Koneko asked with a raspy voice.
"You see everyone, the Vatican somehow conjured a method that can remove a devil's evil piece without any nasty side effects. Whether it was by natural, supernatural, or even scientific process is currently unknown." he beamed with a small smile. Grayfia glared at him for his rudeness as his King chuckled.
Gasper then finally decided to lend her voice in the matter. Performing an exaggerated cough to get everyone's attention.
"If I may be so bold... what about that Paladin knight?"
Rias then gripped her arm rest, lividly recollecting the memory how one man decimated them with little effort. Even shrugging off Gasper's Balor View llike it was nothing.
"He's a monster." retorted Kiba with a low voice. Obviously still drained from the ordeal.
"A monster that just toyed with us... I never stood a chance." he shook.
"But... Sirzechs-sama will ... protect us, right?"
Sirzechs could only huff with his arms crossed. "I'll try my very best to protect all of you, but I prefer a more peaceful encounter the next time you two meet, my sister."
"Father Issei Hyoudou is someone not to be taken as a simple exorcist. He's one of the most powerful agents that the Church could ever bring. He is one of the founding reasons on why the Church is so powerful in their military disposition as of late. We the Maou ourselves actively try to avoid him at all possible costs."
Rias was going to rebut before her father cutted her off with a simple hand. "Rias, our kind can't afford another war with the angels. Ever since Saint Gabriel took command after Michael left for the Protestants... it had been very messy with their faction. The angels are now the most unstable yet highly destuctive of the three factions... I must be saying it would be four now since the Vatican is highly pushing to eliminate the Angelic Church."
Rias jaw dropped as her father told her the instability and brutality of the Angel's Faction.
"And we thought we were the devils..." Venelena breathed worriedly.
"Wait... the Church... is fighting itself now?" Kiba asked calmly.
"We weren't supposed to tell you but it's atleast we could compensate for our blunder in sending all of you to Baderick."
"Yes. The Church is fighting its own Civil war... mostly from the Papal House and the English divisions. The Eastern and other sectors remained neutral though."
Like clockwork, Grayfia continued the "political lesson" for the young peerage.
"Father Issei Hyoudou, the priest you fought... is quite dangerous. We manged to hack ino some of their accounts before being blocked by another advanced firewall. It had been deduced that this priest is a human and other outrageous powers we can't seem to explain. He's strong... plain and simple. So I now strongly advise for you to please be friends with him. He will be very beneficial as an ally as opposed to be an enemy. Much to my distaste."
"Sorry to dump all this to your minds right now, but you deserve to know atleast a fraction of the truth."
"I'm just happy we actually made it out alive." Akeno joked but terrified still.
"Yes. You were very lucky that the priest didn't killed you outright before I came." Sirzechs chuckled with a relaxed sigh.
(Vatican City)
"So Issei... mission accomplished?" Maxwell questioned with an interesting light in his eyes.
Issei smirked as he placed a small, black flashdrive in the Archbishop's table. The older man's grin grew larger.
"It went better than what was expected Sir Pascal, the devil youths were quite formidable if left unchecked."
Maxwell then eagerly placed the flashdrive in his computer and searched the contents in the screen. Various information and photos of the Phenex and Gremory peerages were being displayed, all of their attacks and quirks being analyzed.
"Truly remarkable! Even if their only in their teens, they could bring the house down indeed! Especially that Vampire boy. Balor View is such an interesting Sacred Gear!" Maxwell bragged.
"You mean girl, sir?"
"No, the database you gave me is displaying that the vampire –devil is a boy... his fashion sense I'm not really to keen though." Issei could only watch in horror.
"What the... Why is "he" wearing... why does he evn look like a... forget it."
"Getting back on point. Excellent work my boy! The high risks of igniting the war payed off handsomely. To think you actually meet the new Lucifer yourself!"
"Is there anything else you need?"
"No I'm all good for now. His Holiness would be so pleased... as well as Lady Gabriel. But one question... are the heathens different now? By different I mean... more docile and compassionate as the Old Satan Faction grunt squealed about?"
Issei could only smile. "It's a matter of perspective bishop, but I'll say their far more ethical than before... like humans." he softly said.
"Good. We need all the allies we could get if we ever hope to crush the protestant heathens. Our judgement will be finally come to fruition! Maybe in the next few decades or so at this rate."
"Amen. I'll be heading off for my quarters."
"Be sure to send Kuroka my regards. Enjoy your much needed rest and... Good Morning!" the jolly waved goodbye as Issei left with a bow.
(Issei's room)
He slumped towrds his large bed without a care, he may be knife throwing behemoth but does he love his soft bed once in a while after his missions.
"Nya. Sleeping already without telling me join in?" Kuroka said in a teasing tone.
"Not now, Kuroka. No interupting "sleepy time" remember?" he yawned.
"But before you go to sleep... can we talk about Shirone?" Kuroka asked, almost begging based on her manner of speaking.
Issei grumbled as he pulled himself form his soft, blanket covers. He then faced a serious nekoshou with a sincere expression in her eyes.
"Thank you." she mouthed.
It was decided that when the girl needed comforting, the Hyoudou priest was always there, whether he likd it or not.
A soft sigh was heard as he lended his ears for the woman to chat about her estranged but still cherished sister.
"Wait you're still wearing your glasses in the bed?" she asked while holding a rubble of an all too familiar pair of glasses.
"Oh son of the protestant whore... I just got this pair last week!"
To Be Continued
The spring flows, the river surges,
That deep sea, please watch over it.
You soar high in the sky on mysterious wings,
That dark sky, please guide it.
The rain of dawn wets my cheek,
Like how one embraces a child,
I want it to embrace me.
With a gaze that burns,
The power to chase a beautiful dream,
Please make that heart and soul, carry me on to world free of sin.
You soar high in the sky on mysterious wings,
That dark sky, please guide it.
Amen.
Author's Note:
Harem: Mirana, Griselda, Ophis, Kuroka, and surprisingly, Seekvaira Agares.
Now I know most of you people are thinking... "Who the hell is Seekvaira Agares?". Well, she's certainly a DxD character, noble devil heiress, and one of the rookies four of the rating games. Just search her name in the wikia so can take a good look on her. I added her because I loved her character design (women wearing glasses are hot) and her personality is basically an unadulterated "Smartass, Ice Queen Bitch" trope. Also... she's a mecha otaku. She'll be a fine love interest I promise you all.
Christmas Treat Omake (This is canon within the Angel's Dust Storyline)
Meanwhile in Heaven, two of the most powerful women of the angel faction where a simple break in one of the Seraph's self-made coffee shop. The shop was your standard cafe designed for new brave saint to adapt easier up in God's home.
Griselda Quarta, Gabriel's Queen of Hearts, stirred her latte with a curious appearance brewing in her face.
"Why are looking at me like that."
The Ace of Hearts questioned suspiciously at her partner.
"Oh nothing... just meaning to ask you something that's all." Griselda answered while sipping her drink.
Mirana rolled her eyes. "What do you want me to answer now?"
"Funny that you mentioned... do you miss him?"
"Miss who?" she feigned innocence, while knowing fully well what her superior is pointing at.
"You know... Mister paladin! Mister blood knight! Mister someone you mercilessly dumped..." she drawled.
"Really... we're doing this again?" Shavatora rhetorically asked, unimpressed at her Griselda's current antics.
"Oh come on... you just can't deny the fact you dumped him so harshly. I mean your responsibilities as a brave saint is a valid answer but he was so loyal and devoted to you... he could easily make it work." Griselda blurted.
"If you must know... I value my work thank you very much. I broke things off because it would be unfair to him... besides, long distance relationships would only get in the way." she defended.
"Long distance my-"
"Don't start being lippy, Griselda!" Mirana snapped with blushing cheeks.
"Really? I mean that sounds selfish.. but I won't judge..." she calmed.
"You're already judging..." Mirana deadpanned.
Griselda shrugged her shoulders.
"So... is he single?"
"What! No?! I mean Yes! Yes he's available..." the blonde ace gulped on her uneagerness to answer.
"Why are you even asking, Griselda! You know you're a full decade older than him!"
"So what? He's turning a solid looking eighteen next year. If you won't take him back, I'll be happily be taking your spot in his heart then."
"By all means..." Mirana gritted in a comedic fashion.
"You still love him, noh?"
The Ace only responded with an ashamed nod.
"You know, you can teleport to the Vatican in your free time right?"
"Yeah... but... he's... already a priest now."
"Yes, a fanatical priest working for a fanatical organization that is virtually and legally nonexistant to publice eye. He's a killer priest, Mirana! Have some backbone, it's not Ol' Issei held you in contempt after a year with no contact, right?." the Queen of Hearts laughed it off.
Mirana looked at her own mug of wintermelon tea with an uneasy demeaner.
"I hope so." she thought to herself.
