Well a new reading story based on a new story. Funny thing how this came to be. I was challenged by one of the co-writers, wolfpackersson09, to making a writing story with Rias and her peerage. I read the story and I liked it enough to give it a shot. I hope I can do the characters justice here.
Also a shout out to shadowwriter329 as it is his birthday today and I wished to have this updated as a small gift.
Disclaimer; I do not own anything from Kim Possible nor High School DxD. I don't even own the story. That is own my shadowwriter329 and Wolfpackersson09, I am simply using this with their permission. …wait? Does that mean I have not succeeded in anything?
The Tale of the Stoppable Phenex
Rias open the book and started as everyone was on the edge of their seats "Chapter four,
The group was at a standoff. Issei looked worried for both his friends Kim and Ron but also for Asia's safety as well. Kim placed Asia down "Asia, stay out of the way. Hide close by but do not come out unless we come and get you. Rufus will go and keep you safe."
Asia nit her lip slightly worried for her friends, all fighting for her.
Rufus saluted Ron before he ran down and climbed into Asia's shoulder. Asia looked at Rufus worried but nodded after a minute and ran off to hide. The fallen angels made no move to stop her as they were focus on the devils they needed to kill first. "The more wings an Angel or Fallen Angel has, the more powerful they are. Let's be careful KP."
Issei clenched his fist wondering how this fight will go. Raynare was tough enough but if the other two were even stronger then he was not sure if they can win.
"Got it Ron." Kim said as the two males rushed, Clayton rushed towards Ron as Gaston rushed Kim. Kim jumped over Gaston causing the big man to try and swing at her only for Kim to dodge and move to a different place to battle. Clayton however speed at Ron who back away from the angel.
"I can tell you are from the Phenex clan, and that would be a first trophy of such caliber in my collection. Those feathers should sell a good deal of money, once I pluck them from your corpse!" Clayton said, reveling in the thrill of the hunt as Ron summoned his fire sword to defend a light spear strike.
Rias scowled, she was not a fan of Riser Phenex but she did not want to hear such disrespect to the clan itself.
"No way I'm going to die! I'll be an old bird before I die!" Ron countered as they clashed.
Ron was on the defensive as Clayton moved aggressively, "Don't overestimate yourself boy. The only bird you shall become is a plucked and stuffed one. And when I am done with you Gaston should be done with your little friend. He will have her broken body for display for all those other devils here before we end their miserable lives."
The others, besides Asia who was worried stiff, glared at the book and hoped something happened to the fallen.
Ron flew to the side to avoid a stab from the light spear but he was nervous, 'this room is too small to keep this up and counterattack. I need to take this fight elsewhere.' He blocked another strike before he pushed it and the flame sword into the wall. The force from the two attacks broke a hole which led to the outside. The two fighters backed away when they heard a loud yelling and Gaston crashed right in the same spot the two attacks connected and broke through the wall. Gaston growled angrily and he grabbed the sides of the wall around him and pushed them farther apart in his anger. "I will not be made a fool of!"
Kiba's lip twitched slightly. He knew from experience anyone that says that doesn't need someone's help to be made a fool of.
As he jumped back towards Kim Ron saw his chance to change the battle field. He flew through the hole with Clayton behind him. He spun around and blocked a thrown light spear at his back. The pair flew higher above the church before they sped past each other as they slashed at each other with their weapons.
Rias could not help but nodded seeing this was the best course of action with the types of fighters they are.
As Ron jumped back he threw a punch at Clayton even though he was out of range. Clayton open his mouth to taunt the boy in his poor fighting skill, (in his point of view) when a small amount of fire appeared above Ron and shot towards Clayton forming a fist and arm. Clayton moved to block but was still knocked back with some slight burns.
Rias paused again and reread the sentence, while Akeno asked, "Ara, ara, what as that?"
"It sounds like a form of fire attack," Kiba observe from the reading. "Mid-range and a surprise attack to the enemy. It might also be blunt force from the blow and the fire adds heat and burn damage. Very interesting."
Rias however had a different thought, 'I never heard of an attack style like that, even among the Phenex clan.'
He growled as he held his light spear.
When the fight started Kim was force to back away as Gaston slammed his fist at the spot she was at and cracked the stone floor beneath it. As he turned his head to her all he saw was her foot filling his vision. He staggered slightly before he swung at her. Kim crossed her arms to block but was sent flying into one of the benches. It splintered under her but she got up with a glare. He now had a grin, "So you can take a hit at least. Good, that will make this a bit enjoyable then."
"Arrogant," Koneko stated simply.
The others nodded, "He seems to be a hard hitter from the sound of his blows. All brute strength." Kiba said before he paused "Though he has yet to use any light attacks so it may be the game changer for him."
Kim glared as the two encircled each other before they charged. Gaston threw another punch but Kim slid under him and planted her feet against his chest. As she braced her hands on the ground she pushed with all her might and the fallen angel flying. He crashed into the wall near Ron and his opponent breaking the way. He growled and shattered the wall around him as he came at Kim again. Kim noticed Ron moved away with his opponent before she jumped over another attack from Gaston.
The bum rush from Gaston was followed by a quick turn and some light spears. Kim managed to dodge the light spears and was ready to fight some more, but was hoping to end this quickly.
The others seems worried now that her opponent started to us light spears as Kim never had to face those before.
Meanwhile in the skies, Ron was continuing to struggle against Clayton. He swapped out having a single large fire sword to two smaller flame swords in a twin-sword style. Clayton was also using his light spear as a single sword. They clashed as Ron had a serious look on his face as he blocked the strike.
"For an inexperienced devil, you aren't doing half bad." He then grabbed something while clashing with Ron, "but talent is nothing!" That was when he tossed a vial. Ron managed to dodge the initial toss, but a smaller light spear shattered the bottle, causing the contents to spill over Ron.
"ARGH!" Ron cried out as he realized what the contents of the vial that burned him like acid was: holy water.
Everyone winced here, even Asia. Even though she still kept a bottle of holy water and her cross she still knew they could still hurt her, the holy water doing the most damage. Rias looked worried for Ron. Even though she knew he was a high class devil due to having a peerage and the holy water would do less damage it still would burn and hurt him. She knew the only saving grace was his Phenex healing right now.
His felt his fire lighting up around his body but was put out just as fast. He could feel his healing trying to work but the holy water was suppressing it. Add the burning feeling the water gave him made it harder to fight.
Rias gasped here. 'Holy water can stop their healing? Can I possibly use this? Is holy water even allowed in the Rating Games?'
Akeno had the same line of thought but spoke them aloud, "Holy water is suppressing his healing. Even if his healing would keep him from getting damage from attacks he is still a devil and therefore effect by items that effect devils. Holy water would only be one thing that can do a lot of damage."
Asia gasped covering her mouth as Issei gritted his teeth seeing this as bad for Ron. Kiba and Koneko were quite, both for reason the know might be able to help Rias later and for their own worry for Ron and the others. Rias finally took a deep breath and started to read again.
Clayton was coming at him with his spear above his head. Ron slashed with his flames swords, extending the flames so Clayton was blocked before he got too close to Ron. Ron flew back still trying to heal but the flames still would not stay. He lashed out a kick at an oncoming Clayton and a steam of matched his kick and knocked Clayton back. "So the little fire bird still has some fight left in him. But for how long. That holy water must be painful no?"
Ron gritted his teeth but did not reply to the fallen angel's bait. He crossed his swords and slashed at Clayton and sent an X shape flame attack at him. Clayton avoid it and threw a spear at Ron. Ron flew close to Clayton and threw another punch and another flame fist appear but while Clayton expected it to come from the front this time it came from below.
Kiba nodded, "Even if he is in pain he is still willing to fight. Added he is still able to plan ahead with keeping his skill intact. His ability to make their flame attacks at more openings besides in front of him would take some work to do, at least that is what I'm thinking, shows he is able to fight even with the holy water hurting him."
Rias paused seeing Kiba had a point and wondering if the same could be said for Riser.
He cried out as he was burned but he manage to control himself and got back into the fight. He growled with his teeth bared and he summoned more spears and charged at Ron.
Kim was now having a harder time with Gaston and the light spear he now wielded. He stabbed at her and she barely was able to step to the side to avoid his attacks. He frowned seeing his attempts were not working. He grinned as he flew up into the air. He held his spear above his head and it changed. The spear changed until it became a large broad sword made of light.
Issei gulped, "Can he do that?" the other shrugged not really sure.
He gave a battle cry and he flew down aiming to slice Kim into two.
Kim rolled out of the way to avoid the strike even if she had to cover her face to block the bit of rock and dirt flying in her face. When she looked Gaston was upon her and swing his sword at her. Kim ducked and barely avoided the deadly blade but jumped forward and shouldered tackled Gaston. The two tumbled back but they both got back to their feet and attacked again. While Gaston had a large weapons with a deadly reach, he was all but shouting his moves to Kim. With that she was able to know where to be when he attacked as she moved closer into his guard. As he swung at her again he found she was inside his guard and unable to hit her. Kim cried out as she punched Gaston right in the chest. He gasped before he backed hand her and sent her back.
Asia closed her eyes scared and hope this would end soon. She even prayed that her friend and the friend she may get in this story will be alright. She cried out quietly as she then gained a bad headache.
A little bits away Issei was having his own trouble. Raynare laughed as she threw another light spear at him, "Your friends aren't doing so hot. Not much of a surprise actually. Those two are even stronger than me. None of you were a match for me so you all are going to die tonight."
Issei scowled recalling how she fought him that night and how he was able to prevail. He then smirked, "She's wrong. We were able to beat her and with Asia's life on the line we will not lose here."
Asia looked at Issei with a smile and tears in her eyes. The others look his ways but they had a feeling he was right. They turned back to the story wanting to see how it played out.
'Not if I can help it!' Issei thought as he readied his Boosted Gear, and it gave him the first boost. He felt his power double, and the speed that he gained with the Knight also doubled. Raynare threw three more light spears, but Issei was able to dodge them more easily. Ten seconds passed, and the Boosted Gear doubled his power again. That was the beauty of the Boosted Gear, it would double the power of its bearer for every ten seconds. Two becomes four, four becomes eight, eight becomes sixteen, and it would continue for as long as the body could handle it. Rayner noticed that Issei's Sacred Gear, wasn't a Twice Critical as she initially thought.
'Is that, the Boosted Gear!?' She was starting to worry as Issei was getting faster, fast enough that she threw a spear, and Issei not only dodged them, but got into her guard, giving her a strong punch to Raynare's gut.
Issei cheered with a wide grin. "Yes we have a better chance."
"She seemed to be noticing your sacred gear faster than last time," Akeno pointed out recalling how until they told her upon her death Raynare believe Issei's sacred gear was a twice critical.
Rias nodded, "Yes I noticed that too. Strange how she discovers that faster. I wonder why."
"What was that about us not getting out alive?" He asked as Raynare just got back up and started for a close combat.
(Scene Change)
Ron was still having trouble with Clayton, and now he needed to find a way to get in his guard with minimal magic used.
'How do I get past him? I've got my flaming swords, but...wait. Swords, blades, the Lotus Blade!'
"The Lotus…Blade?" Kiba asked never hearing of a sword of that name before.
Issei frown, "it sounds like an ultra-special move or weapon. Like a hidden weapon you can find in a game by completing a number of impossible task."
Ron thought as he barely dodged another small light spear, that was more like a light dagger.
"This hunt has certainly been interesting, especially since your youth means inexperience, but I must finish you off now." Clayton said as he threw another dagger, but Ron had concentrated, mentally summoning the Lotus Blade. Before the dagger could connect to Ron, a shield was suddenly there to block it.
"What?" Kiba asked slightly stunned. "Did he form a magic shield?"
Rias looked ahead and looked stunned before she read aloud.
"I think we just hit overtime." Ron said, turning the shield into a sword. It wasn't just any sword that came to Ron, but the sword that he brought back to the Yamanouchi school of Ninjutsu: The Lotus Blade. This magic sword had the ability to assume the form of anything, the only other weapon that could match this ability was Excalibur Mimic.
Issei was the first to gasp stunned. Asia looked excited at the idea of a magic sword being summon to defend the hero to save the princess. Rias seemed a little excited that it mention a secret school which, if she read it right, teaches students to be ninjas. Kiba stiffen hearing this. He was wondering if this was an Excalibur fragment.
Clayton was stunned when he saw the sword summoned and even more then it changed from a shield to a sword. 'A sword that changes form? Is that Excalibur Mimic? No it can't be. No devil can wield a holy sword let alone an Excalibur fragment. That sword also doesn't have a holy feel about it.'
Kiba seem to relax hearing this and thought if such a sword was real. Maybe he could find it and use it to destroy the Excalibur fragments.
Clayton smirked, "So you gained a new sword boy? While it may mimic," he coughs here slightly, "Mimic it still pales in comparison to the true holy sword."
Ron took a deep breath and slowly exhales as he calmly got into his stance. "The Lotus Blade may not be a holy sword but it is still a powerful magic sword. It is not something to take lightly."
Clayton scowled, "don't become overconfident boy." He powered up his two light daggers before he speed down at Ron. "Even with that sword you are way out of your league!"
Issei held his hands together in his lap, as the tension seems to build. Rias wished they were able to see this like a video as she was sure this would be just like an epic final scene or final fight for a ninja or samurai movie.
Ron waited as he held the sword. As he flew Clayton threw his daggers, which were knocked away with his sword. Clayton was upon him with two light sword as he swung to take his head. To Clayton's surprise the lotus blade turned into a pair of twin sais and caught the swords. He held him back before he twisted his sais and the light swords snapped. Seeing his chance Ron flew forward and kneed Clayton in the gut. Clayton flew back holding his front before looking up at glare at Ron, only to find that he was gone. He looked around before he looked up. Ron was above him with his sword over his head. Clayton formed his own sword and move to blocked.
However much to his surprise the light sword shattered and Ron speed pass leaving a deep gash in his chest. Clayton coughed up blood as he started to fall stunned, "How?" he coughed.
Ron flew calmly not far from him, "The horse jump maneuver, a move combined with the Lotus Blade was more than enough to break any sword."
Clayton shook slightly before he started to fall. As fell towards the ground his final thoughts were, 'the hunter tracked the beast into a trap, only for the beast to turn the tide and land a fatal blow onto the hunter. The hunter falls to the hunt.'
Rias finished and knew she was right. That would have been an epic scene to see in action and now read but she felt this was still very good to read. The others seems to breathe again before Koneko summed it up nicely for everyone, "One down."
Kim pants slightly as she slid back from Gaston. The man was slightly bruised but overall in fighting form. He smirked as he made pointed his sword at Kim. "It over girl. You are no match to my might."
Kim narrowed her eyes, "I won't lose" She stated evenly. "I promised I would help save Asia and get everyone here home. I am not going to fall to an over muscle bound moron like you."
Asia could not help but smile happy her counterpart had a friend as loyal and determined as Kim. She knew Issei was the same but there was something special about Kim.
Gaston frowned before he smirked, "you will fail. We will get the sacred gear from the girl and then we shall rid the world of the devil scum here tonight. With many young things though I hope we would be able to keep one or two for later. I don't expect any to be virgins but I am sure I can find one nice and tight."
At once the others all scowled. All expect Asia but she looked scared not really understanding what they were talking about but felt this was bad.
Kim stared at him shocked before she was gritting her teeth and fist as she glared at him. Gaston just laughed as he said, "Perhaps I can have that one nun before we rip out her twilight healing. Her last memory will be of me before she dies. That is a sendoff of great honor."
Issei now looked very angry as he had to resist activating his sacred gear. The others look just as angry while Asia closed her eyes hoping everything would be okay.
Kim lowered her head as her body shook. Gaston walked towards her as he held his sword up at her head, "Unless you wish to die that way?"
Kim stopped, before her head shot up with a roar as she lashed out a devastating punch right to Gaston's head. He flew back and crashed into the cross and cracked it. He looked up at a scary looking Kim Possible. "I will not," she held her right fist up as it glowed, "Let you touch THEM!"
The others nodded knowing they would fight the same and stop him.
A bright light shined from her hand and the pair looked at it. Even Issei and Raynare paused to see. It was a gauntlet that covered her right hand and arm to her elbow. Her finger were incases in metal with claw like points and the top was slightly rounded with several layers on the gauntlet with two prongs on either side of her fist going back towards her. A large screen like gem covered the back in armor around it and a small bright gem on top farther down her arm.
They all blinked, "is that a sacred gear?" Issei asked.
Rias nodded, "yes it does sound like it."
"But she summoned it just now," Akeno said thinking of what she read before. "Does that mean she just never called upon it until now on purpose?"
Koneko shook her head, "No they were surprised. Might have been dormant."
Rias nodded, "I think you're right Koneko. Much like how Issei was never able to awaken his sacred gear until recently Kim must have had the gear inside of her but never needed it."
"What is it?" Issei asked. "It sounds like mine. But smaller."
Rias nodded, "I have an idea but let's read to make sure."
Gaston blinked as Kim looked stunned before he laughed, "So you do have a sacred gear. Too bad it is a Twice Critical. That is one of the most common of the sacred gears. It will not help you in this fight."
The others blinked, "a TwiceCritical? Really?" Kiba muttered surprised.
"What's that?" Issei asked.
Rias shook her head trying to understand why Kim had such a simple gear. "It is a common sacred gear that works like a weaker version of yours. While yours let you double your power every ten seconds, a TwiceCritical only lets you do it once."
"But she can still fight right?" Issei asked worried if Kim had a weaker gear then him.
Rias thought it over, but Kiba then said "I think she might be able to." They looked at him and he explained, "As she know before they became devils Kim was far stronger than Issei."
Issei gained a tick mark, "Screw you pretty boy!"
Kiba ignored him, "Before Kim became a devil she was faster, stronger and is able to fight men and women stronger and bigger then herself. Then she became a queen which made her even stronger. Now add all of that and double it even once…"
The others thought it over and even Issei was in awe, "She can win with this."
Rias nodded and read again to see for herself.
Kim said nothing as she held up her new gear covered hand the gem started to glow. Power coursed through Kim as her hair kicked up as if it was caught in the wind. Gaston still laughed as he stepped forward, "Don't act like you are going to do anything impressive. You'll only-"
He was caught off as he gasped for breath.
The others leaned forward wanting to know why.
The reason was Kim was inside his guard crouched slightly with her elbow in his solar plexus with her other hand covering her other hand adding more power to the trust. As he staggered back Kim stepped back as looked at him, "Sorry," she said almost mockingly "you just had an opening right there that screamed 'hit me'."
The others were stunned before Issei cried out, "Ohhh! I don't believe it!" he cried before he said before they could ask, "She pulled a line straight from Drag So-Ball. When the hero did the same thing to the villain Big Boom!"
The others looked at him; Rias also getting a look of recognition, Asia in confusion and the others with deadpan looks. Kiba waved his hand, "I doubt that us the case."
Issei pouts knowing he was right. (1)
Gaston glared as he recovered. Kim on the other hand felt wonderful. She was no longer tired and felt stronger than ever. Her speed had increased with what she just did as her reaction time. As Gaston tried to back hand her it was like he was moving at slow mothing. He growled and held his sword in his hand. It shined even bright and grew to massive size "I will not lose to a bitch of a devil like you!"
He swung at her but he was slow to her and she side stepped it with ease. With a large opening she kicked him and sent him sliding back. He growled and charged again. Kim however held her gauntlet covered hand as she felt a power go through her. The air around her got hotter as she spoke words she never knew before but her instincts were commanding her at this point. With her determination to end this battle she shouted "This hand of mine is burning red!"
The others wondered what she was doing though Rias paused looking excited slightly.
The hand glowed red as the air around it shimmered as the heat grew. "With it I know I shall defeat you!" Gaston took no notice as he kept charging. "Take this! My love, my sorrow, and all MY Anger!"
Gaston swung his large sword but Kim ducked under it. As she stood again she reached out and grabbed his chest. He cried out as the heat spread to his body as she lifted him above her head with one hand.
"Erupting Burning Fingers!" with that one final chant Gaston screams as he burst into flames.
"She did it," Asia said softly in wonder. She knew Issei and the others would save her counterpart but it was still amazing to hear how each of them did it. Rias and the others were stunned at how both Ron and Kim were able to defeat a fallen angel with four wings.
Raynare was just staring shocked that this girl, this devil had just defeated and killed one of the stronger fallen angels that was with her. Before she could react, Ron came flying down, injured, but still gripping the Lotus Blade in his hand.
"If you're waiting for that Clayton guy, don't bother. The hunter became the hunted." He still had visible injuries on his body, and a bit of a limp. Raynare looked at the fact that the odds were much more stacked against her. She could continue to try to acquire the sacred gear Twilight Healing, or decide to cut her losses and run. Running away to fight again was starting to sound good if she considered the odds: 1-She was outnumbered by a large company of devils 2-She was outclassed by two devils that had taken down the stronger fallen angels, despite being weakened 3-One of the three devils present was the holder of the Sacred Gear: Boosted Gear.
Issei could not help but smirk, "You lost Raynare."
Yeah, right now the Twilight healing was sounding unappealing. "You want the nun? Then take her!" Raynare then fled into the night.
This surprised Issei and Rias. They wondered how Raynare being alive here would change things.
The only ones left were Ron, Kim, and Issei, until the rest of the groups were coming in.
"Kim! Ron! Is everything okay!?" Tara cried out as the two groups came down the steps.
Bonnie looked around at the damage before she smirked at Kim, "was the fallen angel too much for you Kimmie?"
"No there were three of them," Kim muttered annoyed even though she felt the power early disappearing she was tiring out. "The ones Ron and I face had four wings."
Kiba and Koneko were shocked knowing the more wings the more powerful the angel would be. Issei however cried, "Asia! It okay. You can come out now."
The girl came out of her hiding spot and slowly moved to the others. They could see tears coming from her eyes as she held Rufus close to the chest in a small hug. She looked at them all before she ran and pulled Issei into a hug. Issei was shocked but hugged her back as well.
Asia and Issei turned to look at one another while Asia had a shy smile on her face and Issei had a grateful one.
The other could not help but smile before Asia open her eyes and moved towards Kim. When she was in front Kim she bowed, "Thank you for saving me as well." She straighten up with a smile before she moved and held her hands to Ron and with a glowing light started to heal him, "it is nice to see you again Miss Possible."
The others looked at the book as Rias blinked, "You know her?" she asked before going on,
Kim blinked as did the others. "What!?" Issei cried out, "You know each other?"
"Yeah what I said," Issei added pointing to himself.
Asia nodded, "Yes, I meet Kim after she came to the Vatican after she saved the Pope from that small mean man."
They all blinked. Asia because someone was mean and evil enough to kidnap the pope, the others because someone kidnap the pope and Kim was the one to save him. "Ara, ara," Akeno muttered, "That could make things more difficult later."
Kim had to recall thinking of the mission Asia was talking about. Ron explained to the others, "One of our villain, Professor Dementor, kidnapped the Pope for some kind of ransom. Never really understood what he was thinking but Kim went and saved the man. I didn't go for obvious reason so I said I have a family issue."
Kim looked at Asia and pictured her as a nun. It then clicked for her. "Oh, I remember you now. I barely recognized you without our nun cloak. You offered to heal my scrapes and bruises but I declined. I guess I could have let you if your healing was so good."
Asia smiled amazed her counterpart met a real super hero and that she could have been able to help.
Asia nodded with a smile as did Ron feeling his healing return but Asia healed his injuries before his flames could. As she moved to Issei and Kim they then heard a familiar voice, "Ara, ara, it seems we are late to the party."
Rias nodded with a slight pout, "About time,"
They turned to see Rias and Akeno coming down the steps. "Rias?" Kim asked surprise to see here there.
The girl offered a smile, "Sorry we are unable to help. We had to deal with a few fallen angels that were putting up a barrier." She then looked at Kim, "I also came to apologies to you Kim. While we had different views I feel like we both said things we both regret."
Kim frowned but said, "The way I said it may have been out of line but I do not regret what I said.
Rias paused her as she winced slightly but as she glanced at Asia the pure girl made no motion that she noticed the way it was worded.
But that's all in the past." She smiled at everyone, "We are all here and we are all fine. I think it was a good night."
Rias nodded before looking at her and Issei's hands, "and it seems you both have either unlocked your sacred gears and use them."
Ron nodded, "Yeah I was surprised though. I never figured Kim would have a sacred gear."
"Yeah what is this?" Kim raised her hand showing the gear, "it looks like the one on Issei's hand but different and before I felt like I gotten really powerful."
Rias nodded "That would make sense. That sacred gear is called a Twice Critical. It is a common sacred gear but it doubles the user's power once at critical times. As for Issei his seems alike because his does the same thing. His powers doubles but unlike yours which does it once his doubles every ten seconds."
The group that did not know were stunned and looked at Issei who chuckled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head. "So Kim gets a common weak one but is still powerful and the pervert gets one that is super powerful?" Bonnie raised her hands in disbelief, "how is that fair?"
Issei cried at how the girl worded it. She made it sound like he didn't deserve the boosted gear.
"I don't think life's fair Bonnie, or that it's the big guy's way of balancing things out. Kim's already tough, so she wouldn't need to have her power boosted every ten seconds, or that she already had the power to fight and didn't need the Boosted Gear." Ron said as Bonnie just huffed. Either way, they saved the girl, the day, and might have a new ally.
Issei pouts again but Asia patted his back trying to make him feel better. Koneko then said "Kim's still better."
Issei face plant on the floor and cried "So mean~"
"Well, Asia, I have a deal to offer you." Rias started, getting the nun's attention as she looked at the redhead devil girl, "You see, both Ron and myself could use your abilities."
"Maybe we should discuss this later?" Tara suggested and Rias nodded.
"Yes, but Ron, how many of your Evil Pieces are left?"
"Three pawns and two Rooks. What about you?"
Rias was surprised at this as Asia looked at the book. "So Asia can join either peerage" Kiba mused, "Still an interesting choice but I don't think that changes anything."
Issei nodded as he got back up, "That's right. Either way Asia is still our friend."
Asia smiled with tears forming in her eyes. She wiped them away as Rias went on wanting to finish the chapter.
Rias nodded seeing as he had a limited amount. "I have one bishop, one knight, and one rook left." Rias mentioned as the two peerages left the church, and to make sure that no one thought of causing them trouble.
As they left Kim paused slightly. She felt a faint energy source not far from them. They can tell it was angry. She looked around and saw nothing even with her devil eyes. She frowned thinking it might be Raynare but felt it was something else.
Rias paused wondering what that was about. 'Was there someone else there that night? But then who could it be,'
As they walked Ron explained to Asia, "You see the evil pieces help reincarnate anything into devils or half devils. Each piece has a value and ability. With your skill and the way you use it you would make a powerful bishop in any peerage. I don't have any more bishops but my last three pawns equal that of a bishop so wither Rias or I can make you a devil like us."
Tara skipped over and pulled Asia into an on arm hug. "No matter where you go it will be great cause all of us work together and are all great friends."
"Friends?" Asia teary asked nervous.
Issei nodded seeing the other smiling at her. "That's right Asia, even if you don't become a devil we are all your friends."
Asia could not hold back anymore as she cried tears of joy. With Tara still hugging her she pulled Issei into a hug as well crying on both their shoulders. The girls around them all smiled and some even joined in the hug. Ron and Kim smiled feeling that things could not be better for the little nun.
Rias sighed as she closed the book. Asia was happy it was over and her counterpart had a lot of friends to help her out. Rias then got up with the book in hand and Kiba asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing is," Rias replied, "I think we need to take a break. I also want to show this to my brother and see what he thinks of it."
"What then?" Issei asked.
She smiled at him, "We will just go about our normal days until we figure out what to do.
Okay now that chapter is done. So they have the book look at as they go through more of the cannon. When we/they come back more people will be brought into the reading. Should be fun no?
