6th Contact: Burning with Anger

Several days passed since the battle against Cygnus Wing, and Netto and Asia were starting to become accustomed to their new lives as devils. For the most part, it was simple and straightforward. The both of them were to sent out pamphlets that served as tools to summon a devil. According to Rias, in the devil world it was essential to raise through the ranks and gain recognition. There were three ways of doing that. Military accomplishments were the fastest way, but were very difficult because they were often always dangerous. The three fractions were also at a ceasefire, so that would also make things difficult. Making contracts with humans was the most common way, but was also tedious and had the longest route. The third and final way was through a Rating Game, but Rias said she would go into deeper explanation of that later. After spending the day of sending pamphlets to people, the night came and it was time to answer to the clients. A common thing most devils had was the ability to teleport through magic circles. They would have to use these portals to reach clients quickly.

While Asia was as well adaptable in magical ability next to Akeno and Rias, Netto didn't have such talent. It didn't seem to bother him much though as he can easily ride the EM airwaves to travel, so he didn't even need to learn teleportation magic. Of course, he did require Omega-Xis in order to do that but you know what people say about having caking and eating it too. His first client was someone with the name of Mil-tan. It sounded like a girls name, and a cute one too. This Mil-tan girl, whoever she was, seemed to sound very pleasant.

Oh, he should have really known better.

Mil-tan wanted to be a Magical Girl. Unfortunately, 'she' turned out to be a he, and he was a muscle bound man dressed up in a magical girl costume. It was so jarring to look at him and hear how he wanted to become a magical girl. He really needed serious some brain bleach after he was done.

Then there was the case of Asia's living arrangements. Netto knew that given her new circumstances she would need somewhere to stay. But he wasn't expecting to see stacks of boxes in front of his house, with both Rias and Asia standing right next to them. Rather than answering what the boxes where for, in which she said she would do later, Rias only told him to bring them inside. Fortunately for them, the matriarch of the Kusanagi household was home, and she would find herself home a bit longer than normal thanks to the damage done to the labs. That suited her fine as she gave her sometime to wind down. However...

"Let me get this straight..." Shuko said slowly, making sure that she had heard it right the first time, "You want Asia-chan to board in with us?"

The woman in question was sitting at the dining room table apart from Netto, Rias, and Asia, still trying to wrap her head around what was just said. It really was one of the last things a mother expected to hear. A beautiful foreign girl staying with her teenage son... that was one of the many things a boy his age would dream of happening to them. Even Netto was looking flabbergasted at Rias request. A lovely looking young girl suddenly staying with them? Something was telling her that a lot more was going to follow very soon.

"I know it's inconvenient but please hear me out," Rias said, playing spokeswoman, "Asia comes from a small village in Europe and she doesn't have any known relatives. After she arrived to the city Netto was the first and only one who helped her and showed her around, so she mostly feels at ease when she's around him. It would only make sense to be around someone who makes you feel at ease, don't you think so?"

"Well, that is true," Shuko nodded, rubbing her chin, "And I can say for a fact that Netto respects female privacy despite what I hear from the other girls at your school. Still, this is a lot for me to think about."

"In that case," Rias continued, moving in for argument #2, "What would you say if Asia became you're adopted daughter?"

"Adopted..." Shuko blinked, "What do you mean?"

"Asia trusts Netto-kun greatly so," Rias explained, "While it's true that his main problems lie in his social awkwardness, he is also straightforward and confronts any problem without hesitation. I, as well as Asia, were both charmed by that quality of his."

"T-that's right!" Asia pipped up timidly, "Netto-san risked his life for mine without care for his own safety!"

"Is that right...?" Shuko hummed, "It sounds a lot what Daigo-kun would do actually." A nostalgic, warm smile crossed her lips, "In fact, that was the reason why I fell for my husband to begin with. Bless his soul, wherever he may be."

"Then let me offer you this," Rias replied, laying down her trump card, "We can use the time Asia lives here as bridal training." The room stayed silent only for a short while as Rias' words sank in.

"H-HAH?!" Shuko exclaimed, eyes widening, "BRIDAL TRAINING?!"

"Buchou! Are you for real?!" Netto gasped, also stunned.

"B-bridal training?" Asia blushed brightly.

"Think of it this way. If Netto interacts with Asia as much as possible, it could make him grow out of his social anxiety shell," Rias reasoned. "And it would give him an easier time to interact with women his age."

"Those are... some very convincing arguments," Shuko responded, calming down from her shock. "Now that I think about it, it would be nice to have some extra company. And on that note..." she trailed off as she looked at Asia, "I wouldn't mind if she bore me grandchildren."

Netto and Asia both stared at the scientist with wide eyes as her words sank in, "EEHHH!" Rias simply couldn't help but giggle at Shuko's statement.

"Tell me if I'm wrong," Shuko said, gesturing at the still bushing Asia, "Asia-chan comes from Italy, one of the countries in the world that contain very attractive people. I can also see that she has a very kind personality and a gentle soul. She seems like the ideal girlfriend. Not to mention she's well developed in all the right places..." Asia shrieked and covered her breasts as soon as Shuko said that. "Well, she seems to give the air of a younger sister than an older one and I know you're more attracted to those types of women, Netto. But this could be good for you either way."

"U-um," Asia spoke, still shivering in embarrassment, "I actually turned 16 last month so I'm kinda older than him."

"Ara, really?" Shuko binked. "But you look as though you're the same age as my boy. It would be quite odd if he went and called you 'Onee-sama', wouldn't it?" Then she smiled brightly, "At any rate, I look forward to you staying with us Asia-chan. Please take care of my son."

"W... well," Asia bowed shyly, "I'm may be inexperienced, but I'll be under your care from now on, Netto-san's kaa-sama. I hope we get along."

Rias smiled as she watched Shuko rubbed Asia's head, gushing about how cute and adorable she was as Netto was facepalming over his mother's antics. Turning to the side, her smile dropped as a weary look appeared on her eyes.

'A bride, huh...?'

Later that night, Rias received an urgent message from one of the rulers of the Underworld, reporting that a stray devil had found refuge somewhere in her territory. She had called up everyone in her group to take care of the task at once. The group of young devils teleported in front of an abandoned manor that totally screamed Resident Evil on the outskirts of town. It was old, really old. Mold was covering the walls, windows were shattered, and paint was peeling off. Clearly it hadn't been taken care for years, and it was the perfect place for a stray devil to call home. This particular stray devil been hiding out for several weeks and lured unsuspecting humans to feast on. It had been quite busy since the whole commotion with the aliens.

"Net, Asia, since this is your first time stray devil hunting I need the both of you to observe carefully," Rias instructed as they entered the manor. "Watch how you're sempai deal with the stray devil. We don't know how much power it's gained over this time so extra caution is needed."

"Right. Lead the way," Netto nodded. Asia, the only non-combatant of the group, stuck close to Netto. She hadn't had the time to learn any defensive spells so Netto would have to make extra sure that no harm came to her.

"I recall you saying that these stray devils are devils who have gone rouge," Omega-Xis said. "Is there a possible cause?"

"Devils, like everyone else, are all different," Rias explained, the group walking through a large living room with various broken furniture and equipment scattered about. "Therefor their reasons for turning rogue vary. Regardless, devils still do need to survive like humans do and should they go drunk with power they often turn to humans for sustenance. This is bad for us in two ways; senseless loss of life and risking exposure of the supernatural."

"So you have to eliminate the stray devils that go wild to prevent a ruckus from going out of control," Omega-Xis guessed. "In other words, clean up." He seemed rather disappointed from his tone. He wanted to see how his abilities racked up against a stray devil, seeing as they were still just as effective against fallen angels. But that would be for another time.

Koneko, who was walking in front, suddenly came to a stop as something came into her nostrils. She sniffed the air quickly, and narrowed her eyes. "It's here." At Koneko's words, everyone tensed and began smelling the strong scene of blood mixing into the air that was already filled with the sench of the rotting manor. They were also alerted by the presence of something very iniquitous waiting for them. Large footsteps thundered in the room.

"Oh, what's this? I have guests? I didn't even have time to clean up," spoke a sultry, yet deranged voice. "I smell something foul, yet also delicious. Tell me, do taste sweet, or do you taste bitter...?" The voice of the target stepped out from the shadows of the manor, exposing herself in full view of the Occult Research Club.

"SHE'S STARK NAKED!" Netto shouted, both his and Asia's face's deep crimson at the sight.

The stray devil in question was a beautiful and voluptuous woman, with long dark hair and beautiful figure, without an inch of clothing, exposing her rather hypnotic breasts. She was also really big, her head nearly touching the ceiling. Omega-Xis couldn't help but make a comment, "So far, all these supernatural Terrans really do seem to take some sort of care of their bodies. Are they all like that?"

No one really made a comment on the FMian's remark, marking their attention on the stray devil only. "Stray Devil Viser," Rias declared, hands on her hips, "You have abandoned your master, allowed your powers to corrupt you and committed atrocities in the human world. These crimes cannot be overlooked. By order of the Duke of Gremory, surrender or be destroyed!"

"My, my," purred Viser, "You sure do talk big, little girl. How about I dye this room blood red just like your hair?" And that's when she showed the rest of her body from the darkness and it was nowhere near as beautiful. From her hips downwards she had the body of a spider, with eight legs that ended in claw-like hands and a snake-like tail. Her upper body was the epitome of beauty and lust, but she was clearly a hideous monster. The cavity of her lower body opened up, exposing rows of sharp teeth.

Both Netto and Asia bulged their eyes at the horrific sight. This woman was truly twisted, both inside and out. Yuuto, who took note of their faces, chuckled lightly, "This is what happens to a devil whenever they go out of control. Their bodies and minds get twisted and ugly."

"Yeah, twisted. I can definitely see that. She seriously has one nasty vagina," Netto nodded, watching Viser fondling her breasts with a wanton look of ecstasy, her long tongue hanging out of her mouth as she cackled manicly. He tried not to gaze at those two funbags of hers as he was fighting a blush on his face, but he idly noticed her nipples starting to glow. In an up and close view, two small magic circles spun around her nipples as they began to harden. Without warning, Viser's nipples shot out strange beams.

"Take cover!" Akeno shouted, everyone jumping to avoid the beams. Netto quickly took hold of Asia and lept away before the beams could touch them. From where they once stood, the beams stuck and melted holes in the floors and walls. Netto gawked at what happened, almost stun. Out of everything he expected to see tonight, that was the least expecting.

"She has acidic breast milk?!" Netto exclaimed, watching the the acid eat the floor. "Of course! Of course she has acidic breast milk!"

"Relax, this should be easy," Rias reassured him. "Yuuto, you're first!"

"Hai!" Yuuto nodded, drawing his sword and vanished from sight. Netto and Asia knew that he didn't really disappear but was simply moving too fast for human eyes to see. They both had the experience to feel the speed he was used to beforehand. He reappeared in midair and dashed through Viser. The she-demon's limbs were sliced off as blood spewed out violently, causing her to scream and thrash both in pain and outrage.

"Woah, he's a badass!" Netto gawked.

"He's fast," Asia agreed.

Still aching in pain, Viser snarled angrily as her face twisted from a beautiful woman to a monstrous beast. Her eyes turned pitch black, her face dried to a husk, and her fangs became long and sharp. Looking for someone to take her frustrations out on, she looked down at Koneko, who was the the closest. Wasting no time, she lunged and snapped the jaws of her lower lips onto the petite girl tight.

"Koneko-chan!" Asia screamed.

"Don't worry, that attack won't even leave a dent on her," Rias smirked. "Watch."

Visor seemed to grin and giggle, likely thinking that the little girl was about to be divorced by her other mouth and there was nothing she could do. She was quickly proven wrong when something with brute force began smashing against the jaws from the inside, much to her shock. The teeth shattered and the jaws were slowly forced opened before they were pushed all the way. Koneko was the one holding the jaws as they were, her uniform torn, gooey substance covering her body from head to toe, and looking like she had just come from a very disappointing movie.

"Get wrecked."

With absolute ease, Koneko threw the Visor into the air before leaping after her, smashing a drop kick to the gut. Visor screamed as her body slipped and tumbled across the wooden floors. As her flight came to a stop, she struggled to get up from her flight.

"Traits of a Rook, powerful defence and unstoppable strength," Netto recalled. "The tank of the team."

"Very good, Net," Rias smiled. As the stray devil tried to regain her footing, Akeno stepped forward with an eerie smile as lightning sparkled all over her body, "And last but not least, there's Akeno."

"Hai~. Now I get to have some fun! Goodie!" Akeno smiled, a cheerful giggle escaping her throat. With a flick of her wrist, she summoned a bolt of lightning to strike down onto Visor. The stray devil screeched in pain as the lightning scorched her body and burnt her flesh.

"As Queen, Akeno is the strongest out of all the Evil Pieces and has the traits of the Rook, Knight and Bishop all combined. However, she is more attuned with magical spells," Rias explained over the bolts of lightning and screams of agony, almost as if she was talking about a her favorite show. "Her specialty is elemental magic and she uses water, fire, and lightning spells. Though she mainly defaults to lightning. It gives her a certain type of... thrill."

When the lightning vanished, Visor was already covered in multiply burns. Even so, she tried to movie despite the lightning ripping through her body. "Haa... just looking at you struggle and wither in pain like that..." Akeno sighed sensually, slowly licking her lips, "It's making me so hot...~" With another motion of her hands, more lightning struck down onto Visor, causing her to scream out again. "Come on! Let me see you whimper! I know you want to! Let's see those tears on your face!" Akeno said, moaning eroticly.

BIRIBIRIBIRIBIRIBIRIBIRIBIRIBIRI!

"Akeno-sempai... is scary..." Asia whimpered, hiding behind Netto while watching the raven-haired beauty laughing like a woman on ecstasy.

"I don't blame you for thinking that way, Asia," Netto smiled nervously. He really can agree with Akeno being the most intimidating member of the group next to Rias thanks to her sadism, but he honestly couldn't help but feel a bit turned on whenever he saw her like that... He really didn't understand why.

"Alright, I think that's good enough," Rias ordered. Akeno obeyed and calmed down, dissipating the lightning as she gave a satisfied sigh. Rias walked over to the stray devil and stood before her, seeing the burns, cuts and bruises covering her body. "Any last words?"

Visor slowly looked up at Rias with a glare, "Just... get it over with..."

Rias' eyes turned red as red and black mist engulfed her hands, "Ashes to ashes..." she shot out a stream of pure destruction, engulfing the stray devil on the spot. The blast quickly vanished, and all that remained of Visor was a trench of black soot. "...And dust to dust." The limbs that Yuuto hacked early also disappeared, melting away into icky black goo.

"Wow, so this is how devils do business," Asia whispered in awe. Netto couldn't help but nod in agreement. The things devils have to deal with to keep things from going out of control was really nothing to scoff out.

"That's all for tonight. Good work everyone," Rias smiled, clapping her hands together. "You may all go home for the evening."

"Hai, Buchou!" everyone answered. A magic circle appeared underneath the group before teleporting all of them out of the room and disappearing. No sooner than they left, a strange, ghostly ox figure with a fiery outlook phased through the room from one of the walls.

"How strange..." the ox snorted gruffly, confused as he looked around, "I could have sworn I sensed a frequency here." He sighed as he floated across the room, "I suppose I should just keep looking."

---

The very next day, Netto and Asia left home and made their way to school. As expected from what happened the last time, the various boys and girls who were among the crowed to school were staring both oddly and enviously with a hint of suspicion at Netto and Asia. Once again, Netto was walking to school with a very attractive beauty. Netto paid no heed to them, settling for the company Asia gave him.

"Hau~..." Asia whispered nervously, twisting the handle of her schoolbag with both hands. "My first day at a city high school... I'm really nervous about this..."

"What was school like back in your old village?" Netto asked her.

"It was a small schoolhouse that all the kids in the village went to. It was small and there was only one teacher who taught us lessons," Asia told him. "But after my Twilight Healing was discovered, I was made to stop going to school altogether and given a private tutor. They told me that the Holy Maiden was far too prestigious to learn 'menial lessons'." Netto could hear some hint of loneliness in her voice as she said it.

Netto cringed sadly. Asia really did felt lonely after becoming a Holy Maiden. She was adored and admired, but never loved for the person she was. The fact that she was quickly kicked to the curb after healing a devil only further reinforced the point on how the people there were selfish and ignored the needs of a girl still in her adolescence. "Well you don't have to worry about that here. In the real world, no one gets isolated from anyone else just because of a fancy-schmancy title."

"I'm glad about that, but everything is so super advanced though. I bet even the school's high tech too, right?" Asia pressed on, still highly worried.

"No need to stress yourself out," Netto reassured her with a smile, "The cyber interface provided by Kuoh Academy is highly user friendly. That means anyone can use the technology the school has. It should since some of the students there don't really use much tech, or so I'm told. But the computer labs and planetarium they've got there are still sights to behold."

"It sounds really cool!" Asia smiled, looking at the device attached to her wrist, "And I'm glad you helped me find a brand new Transer. I'm really looking forward to seeing how it works!"

As Asia lived in an isolated Italian village and grew up in the church, she was really out of touch with modern technology. Fortunately, she had Netto with her to get her very first Transer. Transers were pretty much a requirement for all the citizens as EM-Wave technology had expanded and nearly everything used EM Waves like the transit system and long-ranged communication, although a lot of people still prefered to use cell phones. The Transer had a multitude of functions including vid-phone, text messaging, a camera, a built in web browser, online gaming, and plenty of other functions. Currently, she was proudly wearing a Transer on her left wrist. It was colored in blue, her new favorite color.

"I'm sure you'll get the chance," Netto nodded, looking ahead at the school. "And it looks we've already arrived."

"Wow, it looks so fancy!" Asia exclaimed, admiring the building.

"Well it is a private school," Netto replied. "They have to look the part." Looking ahead the school yard, he noticed something very strange. Everyone in the field was looking through their Transers and cell phones, looking very preoccupied with that they were viewing. A few of them had even crammed together to look for themselves. "What's up?" Netto wondered.

"I wonder what's happening?" Asia mused.

"I don't know, let's go see." They both entered the school grounds and went into the school building, and what they saw had to be seen to be believed.

"This is a good one! This photo managed to catch his backside! And in high-def too! The bidding starts at 500 Yen! Any takers?"

In the ground floor of the main hallway, a pack of girls were all scrunched up in the center as what was very much an auction was taking place. Girlish squeals of delight filled the hall and even some arguments broke out as the many women tried to fight each other to get the pictures. Some of the girls could seen walking away from the crowd with happy smiles and blushes on their face as they clutched large photos to their chests. In the center of the crowd was another girl with stack of photos under her arm. She wore the standard uniform for Kouh Academy with black thigh-high stockings with garters and black high heels. Clearly, she was quite short, around the same height as Netto and Asia, so she likely wore the heels to make herself look taller. She had a very cute face with long indigo-raven hair that reached past her buttucks with her bangs split in the middle and red eyes. She was also wearing a gold necklace with a red ruby at the center and a pair of blood ruby earrings. Her skin was in a light cream colored tone, and her figure was curvy and very luscious to look at. Although, she seemed to be lacking in the chest department.

"An auction in the middle of the day?" Netto blinked. "What the hell?"

Before Asia could make another comment, a girl with brown hair styled in twin pigtails with pink glasses over apple green eyes approached them with the answer. "Luciana-senpai managed to find some good pictures of the the new incidents that's been happening recently. She managed to get some good shots of it too," she said with a confident smirk.

"Huh?" Netto turned to the girl next to them and waved, "Sup, hentai glasses."

The girl arched her eyebrow and gave a humorous smirk, her glasses glinting in the sunlight, "Humph, at least call me by my name. I am your senpai after all. Besides, it's pretty hypocritical for a comment like that to come from one of the Hentai Trio."

"Ugh, please don't put me in the same league as those two jerks," Netto frowned. "All they do is use me."

Kiryuu Aika, a second year student, was widely known as a very perverted girl. Although she wore glasses, she had a very sharp eyesight and was able to calculate a boy's manhood by simply looking at them. She was usually right too. She also had a very shapely figure and her overly teasing personality did seem to make her all the more attractive. Now if only she would stop making fun of him all the time.

"Kukuku... sure, sure. If you say so," Kiryuu chuckled. She turned her head around Netto as soon as she noticed Asia with him. "And who's that? I haven't seen her before."

"Ah," Netto turned to Asia and introduced her. "This is Asia Argento. She came from Italy and is transferring to a second year class. Asia, this is Kiryuu Aika."

"Um, it's nice to meet you Kiryuu-san," Asia bowed.

"Oh yeah, I heard that a new girl was gonna be coming to my class," Kiryuu said. Her smiled spread as she eyed Asia, "She's a really cute though. You haven't been putting ideas into her head, now have you?¨

"Just stop," Netto growled. "And what did Luciana-senpai get that she's selling to all the girls?"

"Check this out." Kiryuu pulled the photo out from under her arm and showed it to both Netto and Asia for them to see. Both of them leered at the picture and bulged their eyes. The pictured she had was of Mega Man, standing atop the burning satellite and firing his buster. The angle of the picture made it look quite intense.

"Ain't it grand? We've got ourselves a real superhero in this town!" Kiryuu grinned, "He's done a lot too, just appearing to save that train collapse a couple days ago and then stopping that satellite from crashing into the city! Everyone's talking about it and all the girls are squealing like you wouldn't believe!"

"How did Luciana-senpai even get pictures of that?" Netto asked, baffled over the fact that that his fellow schoolmates were suddenly going gaga over his hero persona. Looking back at the crowed, he saw another girl with long dark brown hair held up in a ponytail by a red scrunchy- and a shinai at her hip- walking away giddily with a photo over her chest. Netto recognized her a little too well. Murayama was one of the members of the kendo team and was one of the several girls who had it out for Netto since the "incident". So it was jarring for him to see one of the girls who repeatedly tried to beat him into a pulp getting dreamy eyes over his alter ego.

Although he had to admit to himself that the pic Kiryuu got did have a really good angle.

"There was breaking news over the falling satellite and some of the other cameras from separate satellites caught the whole thing. Luciana-senpai managed to capture a lot of the images from her computer," Kiryuu said. "I admit, I kinda wish I thought about that myself."

"Um... would it be alright if I had one of these pictures myself?" Asia asked, bashful.

"Oh, already a fan of Kodama's Blue Bomber?" Kiryuu smirked.

"Blue Bomber?" Netto repeated.

"Yeah, that's what everyone's calling him since the train incident. He's blue and explosions come out of his arm," Kiryuu informed them, putting her prize away. "I kinda like it. 'Blue Bomber' has a nice ring to it."

"It does, kinda," Netto admitted. "Not the first name I would've thought up if I had a say in it though."

"The girls really seem to be into it though, but I guess you don't need me to tell you that," Kiryuu smiled, looking at the crowd. "Luiana-senpai's making a killing over there and I think she's almost sold out. If you want a picture, you'd better hurry up."

"H-hai!" Unfortunately for Asia, that chance didn't come as a male student approached the crowd, a stern look on his face. He was very tall, standing around the height of a professional basketball player and had a lanky build. He had gray eyes and short hair that was slicked backwards. He was dressed in the standard Kuoh Academy uniform for boys, but left his blazer opened. On his right sleeve, a red armband was strapped on to his right arm. From his skin tone and facial features, he also looked quite foreign.

"Ladies, that's enough," the male spoke in a booming voice. "Classes are gonna be in session soon. You can continue this later on." The feminine squeals turned to disappointed grunts as the crowd slowly dispersed one after another. And more of the girls left, the boy noticed Netto, Kiryuu and Asia standing nearby. His expression unchanging, he swaggered himself over to them.

"Good morning, Jason-kun," Kiryuu said as soon as he approached, a pleasant smile contrasting the self assured smirks she usually had.

"Good morning to you too, Kiryuu," the boy, Jason, nodded back stoically. "You sure be in class too, you know."

"Ah don't worry about that, I was just introducing myself to our new transfer student," she said, gesturing at Asia.

"I'm Asia Argento," Asia bowed, "How do you do?"

"Nice to meet you, the name's Jason Mikkelsen," Jason introduced himself. "I'm head of the safety committee in this school so if there's any problems feel free to ask me."

"Sure, thank you Jason-san!" Asia nodded. Jason nodded back, and landed his eyes on the third person of the group. "Kusanagi?"

"Morning, Mikkelsen-sempai," Netto said.

"I know you're a good kid, but I'm starting get tired of the complaints I get from the girls," Jason frowned, a long suffering sigh heard in his voice. "I hope cause trouble today."

"It's not my fault. They know where to hit me," Netto frowned back. "I'm sick of it too."

"Well, as long as we're in agreement," Jason replied before turning tail and walking away.

"Jeez, with all the complaints the girls give him Jason-kun seems to have it out for you," Kiryuu joked.

"I personally think he has a stick up his ass," Netto said tirelessly. "Anyway, I gotta head over to homeroom. Could I ask you a favor? Could you look after Asia? It's her first day here and I was hoping you could help her out since we won't be in the same class."

"Of course," Kiryuu agreed as she adjusted her glasses. "Anything for a new friend."

"New friend?" Asia asked, sounding surprised.

"Don't you want to be friends?" Kiryuu asked, pouting playfully.

"Oh, no! It's not like that at all!" Asia waved her hands in front of her. "I would really love to be friends!"

"Great!" Kiryuu beamed. "We'll be able to hangout and talk about hunky boys like the Blue Bomber!"

Netto rolled his eyes, "I'll see you at lunch, Asia."

"Netto-san, thank you," Asia said to him.

"No problem. Just be your usual sweet self and you'll be fine," he smiled reassuringly at her. "And Kiryuu, don't do anything pervy around her, got it?"

"What? You'd really think I'd do such a thing to a cute, innocent girl?" Kiryuu smiled coyly.

"Sometimes I wonder," Netto muttered.

---

Later on in the day, Netto and Asia were in the Occult Research Club room lounging around with the rest of the club members. Even without anything to do, Asia enjoyed the company. It was warm and welcoming. Quite unlike the loneliness she felt back in her home village. Netto was sitting on one of the sofas with Asia right beside him, enjoying the cookies she made in Home Economics. Koneko was sitting on the couch across from them and eating her own set of sweets while Yuuto was reading a book next to her.

"Before we continue on with the day, I have an important announcement," Rias began. She was sitting on her desk with Akeno standing next to her. "After the incident at AMAKEN Labs I couldn't sit by and keep the alien invasion under wraps any longer. So after we returned home, I made a report to the higher-ups of the Underworld on what has been happening."

"So, you told them everything?" Netto asked her.

"Yes," Rias nodded. "About you, Omega-Xis, Cygnus, the other eight as of yet unknown aliens, and of course the fallen satellite. I couldn't leave any stone unturned. Last night I finally got a reply." Rias took a deep breath as her servants awaited her statement. "As of right now the Four Satans are consulting over my findings. However, there will be a meeting in regards to the invasion involving the fallen angel and the Heaven factions. It's currently being planned to take place a few months from now."

"Um, who are the Four Satans exactly?" Asia wondered.

"The Four Satans are the rulers of the Underworld who were selected after the death of the original leader Satan during the Great War 1,000 years ago," Akeno explained with an elegant smile, "Each of them have titles named after the four great demon kings; Lucifer, Leviathan, Beelzebub, and Asmodeus. Buchou's older brother is the current Lucifer, while a certain old friend of her's has a sister who has the title of Leviathan."

"The great war dragged on for several years and forced several other factions and races to get involved, the human race being one of them. It really caused all three factions to take major hits, and because of that it's one of the reasons why we're all at standstills at the moment," Rias continued. "There were originally 72 high class devil families in existence, but after the war the number dwindled. At the moment, only half of the devil race remains and our people are quite disparate to repopulate, usually through... traditional means." Netto didn't catch it at first, but he could hear the tone of Rias' voice suddenly turn bitter.

"But basically," Akeno cut in, noticing the sourness on Rias' face, "The point is that the invasion could force the three factions into a second war against extraterrestrials after their resources were nearly depleted. The worst case scenario is that the factions could end up fighting each other all over again, and it would spell extinction."

Netto was silent from Akeno's words as he thought it all over. He remembered being told about the issues angels, fallen angels, and devils had with one another, but he had no idea the problems were that severe. A war that lasted for many years was disastrous if anything he learned from history told him that much. All three sides were weakened by one another over everything they had. If what the two princesses of the school were saying was real, then to go all Leeroy Jenkins on the FMians now would be a very bad idea.

"With that out of the way, here's why we're really here," Rias got off from her desk and pointed at Netto and Asia. "It's time we got you both some familiars."

"Familiars? You mean like that bat you used to track down Cygnus Wing?" Netto asked.

"That's right," Rias smiled. "As a matter of fact, familiars are very essential in devil society. They can back you up with various tasks and can assist in battle."

"This is my familiar," Akeno said, showing a small green imp in her palm. "Isn't he cute?"

"This is Shiro, he's mine," Koneko said, showing a small white kitten in her arms.

"Aw, he's precious!" Asia cooed at the total adorableness of Koneko's familiar, leaning forward to scratch the feline on the ears. The little cat gave a small purr, enjoying the scratches.

"And this is mine," Netto looked over at Yuuto, showing a small bird on his forearm.

"And so me and Asia will get one next?" Netto asked, admiring the bird.

"Well, about that..." Rias was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door. "Oh, we have visitors. The door's opened!"

The ORC stood up as the door opened up, and stepping into the room was a group lead by Sona. Next to her was a slender woman with split bangs long black hair that freely fell down to her knees and blue rectangular glasses behind heterochromic eyes, the left being violet and the other one brown. The rest of the teens behind them consisted of five girls and one boy. Netto blinked curiously as he instantly recognized them. "Sorry to interrupt," Sona greeted the group with a small smile.

"Netto-san, who are they?" Asia whispered to him.

"That's the Student Council," Netto whispered back. "The one in front is the Student Council kaichou Sona Shitori and the other one next to her is the fuku-kaichou Tsubaki Shinra."

"Good to see you again, Sona," Rias greeted back. "What can I do for you?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to congratulate you on increasing the number of your servants," Sona replied.

"Wait, how does she know?" Netto asked.

"Because her real name is Sona Sitri," Akeno told him. "And just like Buchou she's a high-class devil and next in line to lead the House of Sitri."

"Huh? So then, the Student Council are devils just like us?" Netto blinked.

"It's pretty surprising you haven't told the newbie about us, Buchou," the sole male of the Student Council said. He was somewhat average looking with grey eyes and shaggy light brown hair. He wasn't wearing a blazer, leaving his short sleeved dress shirt to be shown, and was the only one among the Student Council to have a Transer on his left wrist, his being green. "But if you can't trust him with inside info then I guess he isn't worth much."

"It's considered bad form for devils from other households to interfere with one another, Saji," Sona reprimanded him, causing Saji to look at her in surprise, "It isn't all that surprising that Rias hasn't told him anything about us yet. And that's the point of this visit anyway."

"Hey hold on, you're that guy from class 2-B," Netto recognized. "You were just recently made Student Council clerk."

"This is Genshiro Saji, my second and newest Pawn," Sona introduced, smiling.

"This is Netto Kusanagi, my new Pawn. And my second Bishop Asia Argento," Rias smiled, gesturing at the two of them.

"Um, I'm pleased to you," Asia bowed, "I hope we'll get along."

"Sure! I'm all for it! Let's be great friends!" Saji greeted back with a friendly tone as he shook her hand. Netto started and was slightly unsettled by Saji's forwardness. He simply let it slide as he introduced himself next.

"Pleased to meet you, Saji-sempai. I'm looking forward to working with another Pawn," Netto smiled, extending his hand.

Saji, on the other hand, gave a snort as cooly smirked at Netto. "Can it, D-bag. You and your group of sluty-sluts don't even deserve to be in the same room as distinguished devils like the Sitris," he scoffed arrogantly.

Netto was taken aback at the insult, and then quickly glared at the older boy. "What'd you say? I am not with those A-holes!" A blue spark of static suddenly flashed over his forehead as his anger rose. It was quick to miss but Rias, Akeno, Sona and Tsubaki seemed to notice it.

Saji didn't seem to see the spark as he continued on, "Aw, you mad?" he mocked judgingly, "Not even prince charming over their can protect you from from me. I took up four pawn pieces, little man. I'd watch my back if I were you."

"Kusanagi-kun took up eight pieces. It's always better to get your facts straight before you make a complete fool of yourself," Sona quickly spoke, not taking her eyes off Netto's forehead.

Saji's eyes widened at Netto's Evil Piece worth, "What? Eight pieces? This shorty here? How'd he managed that?!"

"Heh. Look who's mad now," Netto smirked, a look of satisfaction on his face.

"My apologies for my Pawn's naivety," Sona told them, "He's young and eager, but he's still has a lot to learn and needs to appreciate the finer points of civility."

"Y... yeah," Saji frowned apologetically as he rubbed the back of his head, "Sorry about that."

"That reminds me, you're planning on getting your two recruits familiars next week, right?" Sona asked Rias.

"Yes, what of it?" Rias asked.

"Then it looks like we've got ourselves a deadlock," Sona frowned worriedly. "I planned on getting Saji a new familiar for him around the same time. And only one of us can enter the Forest of Familiars."

"In that case," Rias smiled, "How about a friendly little contest to sort this whole thing out."

"A contest?" Sona repeated, looking surprised.

"Whoever wins earns the right to find a familiar first," Rias challenged, "Does that sound fair?"

Sona arched an eyebrow, "Surely you aren't talking about a Rating Game."

Rias chuckled humorously, "Oh, no. We'd never get permission to do something like that."

Sona gave a relaxed smile, "You have a point about that. Besides, this isn't the time to call attention to yourself, now is it?"

Rias suddenly frowned as her eyes flashed slightly. "Don't go there." Akeno looked at Rias worriedly at the sudden unpleasant look on her face. Her worries were eased somewhat as she gave a smile, "I know, let's settle this the old fashioned high school way with sports."

"Oh? Sounds interesting. I'm game," Sona smiled back. From the way the presidents were looking at each other, sparks seemed to fly between them.

"Uh, Yuuto-senpai," Netto whispered, "Is this fine?"

"Don't worry so much," Yuuto answered with a smile, "The Buchou and Kaichou are actually childhood friends and they've been competing with each other since they were in diapers. They always challenge each other when they get the chance."

"Healthy competition, eh? I can dig that," Netto nodded. Looking back at the Student Counsel, he idly noticed one of the girls in the group, a cute one with reddish-brown hair with bangs over her forehead in two short ponytails and hazel eyes, was smiling at him. Not sure how to respond, Netto just smiled back and gave a short wave.

(Insert Song - Trap Fanatics - Mega Man ZX Gigamix)

"KYAA! RIAS-ONEE-SAMA!"

"GO GET EM, SONA-ONEE-SAMA!"

"SHOW THEM WHO'S BOSS, BUCHOU!"

"STICK IT TO THOSE JACKWAGONS, KAICHOU!"

The sun was shining brightly the very next day, a perfect day for a tennis competition. Saji and a few of the other girls from the Student Counsel was cheering on Sona and Tsubaki as they stood on one end of the caged tennis court, while Netto and Asia rooted for Rias and Akeno as the stood on the other end. The four girls had rackets at the sides and were dressed in white sleeveless shirts with mini-skirts that gave a small peep show as the wind blowed in the air, not that they seemed to mind as they focused on they match at hand.

Netto sat on the front bleachers close to the match when his Transer flashed bright green before Omega-Xis beamed out and materialized. He folded his arms and gazed at the game curiously. "Man, those girls are really ready to throw down," Omega-Xis admired. "I'm getting fired up just watching them."

"Omega-Xis?" Netto asked, putting in his Visualizers to see the FMian, "You sure it's alright to to beam out just like that?"

"Relax," Omega-Xis winked at him, "With all the commotion and everyone paying attention to the match, one one would even notice me. Sides, this looks kinda fun."

"Akeno, we're in it to win it," Rias reminded her Queen, dribbling the tennis ball.

"Got it, no mercy," Akeno looked back with a nod.

"Good. Is everyone ready?"

"May the best devil win," Sona smirked, the flames of challenge in her eyes.

Rias served up the ball into the air and struck it forward. Quickly, Sona received the ball and returned it back. Akeno, who was closer to the front, reflected the ball back over the court, with Tsubaki quickly tagging the ball before it could fly out of the court. All four women batted the ball intensely, defending their sides and trying to get it over the other court. With how they were moving, their skirts were getting dragged in the air, flashing their bright white panties to the crowd. Many of the boys watching didn't mind one bit as each of them were ogling at the sight.

"Holy crap, those two are into it," Netto whistled, watching the game play out. "They're bouncing that ball like crazy."

"The ball isn't the only thing bouncing if you get my drift!" Netto nearly jumped out of his seat after hearing a voice next to him. Turning to his side, he found Yokihiko and Kazumi looking through binoculars at the stage, grinning and drooling at the sight.

"What are you horndogs doing here?!" Netto demanded, shocked.

"That's a dumb question. I thought you were supposed to be smart, Netto," Yokihiko said, taking his eyes off his binoculars to meet him face to face. "Why do you think everyone else is here? Seeing the top hotties of Kouh Academy in a sweaty game till they perspire so much their honkers cling to their shirts! Who the hell would wanna miss that?"

"Homosexuals," Netto responded bluntly.

"Man, they are so freakin' athletic! I wouldn't mind seeing the moves they could pull of in the sack, or my junk!" Kazumi grinned.

"Speaking of which, there's one other thing we wanna find out," Yokihiko said, getting into Netto's face. "What's the deal with you and the new girl Asia, huh? You've been seen with her a lot even though she just transferred here. And on top of that she's a second year while you're in first year!"

"Yeah, first you're seen with Rias, and then we hear you get inducted to the ORC and now you're with a cute blonde! Is there something you're not telling us, dude?" Kazumi demanded accusingly.

"Even if I told you, numbnuts like you two won't get it," Netto retorted.

On the other end of the court, both Yuuto and Koneko were watching the match in a calmer manner compared to the rest of the audience. The girls squealed loudly and the boys wooed in roars. "I've never seen Buchou get so into a contest like this before," Yuuto said.

"Is it just me, or is this starting get a bit out of hand?" Koneko questioned rhetorical.

Back on the court, Sona smiled confidently as she twirled the ball in her hand, "This game is starting to get repetitive, so how about we make things interesting?" She threw the ball up into the air as her she reared back her racket, the tool glowing in dim blue energy. "Eat this! Sitri Spin Attack!" She slammed the ball against the racket and the now glowing orb zoomed across the stage.

"Oh really? Can you handle the Gremory Counter Strike?" Rias dared. She reared back her racket as the ball approached her. To her surprise, the ball suddenly changed trajectory before she could make a counter, causing her to miss completely, "Woah!"

"One point to the Kaichou!" a brown haired girl with twin pigtails and green eyes, Ruruko Nimura, serving as the referee announced.

"No way! She's using magic!?" Netto gaped.

"That was pretty dirty," Omega-Xis frowned.

"Haha! Suck on that, Kusanagi!" Saji laughed, leaning over the fence has he waved a flag with the words "Student Counsel" written on it.

"Hey, didn't we agree on no magic, right?" Yuuto asked Koneko.

"Yeah, but that doesn't seem to be stopping them," Koneko sighed.

"So much for rules, huh?" Yuuto shrugged, shaking his head.

"It's cool. Buchou is about to lay the smackdown," Koneko replied, folding her arms.

"Well Sona, you can cheat all you want to, but in the end it won't make a bit of a difference," Rias smirked. "You want a magic show? I've got a few tricks myself," she boasted with a dramatic pose.

"Do your worst, Rias. You think I'm afraid of you? Bring it on!" Sona shot back, pointing her racket in an equally dramatic stance.

And so, the high octane tennis battle against the devils of Gremory and devils of Sitri raged on throughout the afternoon, until...

(End Song)

---

"It's too bad. With the rackets destroyed they had no choice but to call it a draw," Koneko frowned, looking at both broken rackets in her hands. She gave a sigh as she carelessly dropped them.

"It seems like the only way to settle the score now is to have a competition where each peerage member has an opportunity to compete," Akeno said, tilting her head.

After the match, the Occult Research Club returned to the clubroom to plan out what to do next. The sun had already set and the candles lit up the room. Neither Netto nor Asia did not expect to hear what the buxom raven haired girl had just said. "Seriously?" Netto blinked.

"Serious as a heart attack," Yuuto told him. "Buchou is currently discussing with Kaichou on the next competition."

"So uh, what's the Forest of Familiars?" Netto asked.

"The Forest of Familiars is a were new devils can find a familiar for themselves," Akeno told him. "The main problem is that it only appears during the night of the full moon and only one devil peerage can go there at a time. That's what these contests are all about."

As soon as Akeno was finished with her explanation, the door opened up as Rias stepped in. "The game we've decided on is dodgeball. We're gonna meet the Sitri's in the gym within 30 minutes. So, let's win alright?"

"Yes ma'am!" the other members of the club nodded.

"Omega-Xis..."

The ORC suddenly tensed when a ghostly voice echoed in the room. They were the only ones in the room, and they couldn't sense any other presence nearby. Omega-Xis was the only one who felt a deeper connection to the sudden voice as his eyes flashed from within Netto's Transer. "What... was that?" Asia asked timidly.

Netto's Transer flashed and out beamed out Omega-Xis, with Netto quickly putting his goggles over his eyes to see the alien. "I'm sensing something within the EM airwaves," Omega-Xis informed the ORC, "It could be nothing, but I'm going to take a closer look. You just go ahead with your game, huh?" He flew up and phased through the ceiling before anyone had a chance to respond.

Netto lifted the goggles back on his forehead. "He's gone."

"So there's something going on in the EM airwaves again, huh?" Rias frowned, "Is it another FMian?"

"I dunno. Maybe. He tells me it's nothing, but I can't help but worry if it's another attack."

"Then you should go and help him," Yuuto said.

"No, he seems like he knows what he's doing right now," Netto said, shaking his head, "If he's in trouble he can come get me."

"That's pretty confident," Rias smiled. "Now let's be on our way, shall we?"

"Hai!" everyone nodded.

---

Omega-Xis flew up into the night air, high above the school grounds. He reached the preferred altitude and looked around in the air. "Where are you...?" Omega-Xis murmured as he looked. Looking up, he was quick to find an ox like figure descending down on him from the sky. Omega-Xis quickly moved out of the way as it flew passed him before zipped several feet away from him before stopping. Omega-Xis could clearly see who it was. "Oh, so it's you."

The EM wave being had a humanoid and muscular build from the waist up and looked to be made of fire. Instead of legs, it had a tail. The only 'solid' parts of the entity were red shoulder pads and the upper half of a bull-like helmet. Even its horns were made of flames. Lastly, a gold ox symbol was stamped on the forehead. "Omega-Xis! You blasted traitor! I finally found you!" the bull creature shouted, snorting.

"Heh, so you did, Taurus. What took you so long?" Omega-Xis asked.

"Don't take that tone with me!" Taurus shouted, folding his arms. "You're going to return the Andromeda Key and come with me to answer for your crimes, traitor!"

"Sorry, but I took it for a reason and I'm not just going to hand it back, especially not to a muscle-headed idiot like you," Omega-Xis retorted.

Taurus growled, "Very well, I will just take it back by force! Rugh!" Taurus roared as he charged at his former comrade.

---

The ORC were all decked in their gym sweatsuits and bleachers were all ready in a team battle against the Student Counsel, also in their sweatsuits and bloomers. Both clubs were on opposite sides of the gymnasium ready to play the devil style of dodgeball. The first one to deliver the first strike was a girl with grey eyes and chin length blue hair named Tsubasa, and the speed and power she used to throw the ball instantly showed that she was Sona's Rook as the projectile was instantly coated in the air pressure. Her target, Koneko, barely had time to avoid the assault as the ball grazed her enough to graze her shirt and flash her bra.

"Koneko is out!" Momo Hanakai, a beautiful girl with silver hair going past her shoulders and teal eyes, announced as she raised a red flag.

"Koneko, you ok?" Netto asked quickly. Being hit with something strong enough to tear your shirt would at least cause you to get some sort of bruises.

Koneko just casted a dirty glare at Netto, "Don't look," she said.

"Oh, yeah. My bad," Netto blushed and looked away as Koneko walked off to the bleachers.

"Ready or not, here I come!" Tsubaki shouted, glowing in blue energy to amplify her throwing strength. Rias was in the line of fire, so she had no other option but to take it head on, and so she did. She grounded her feet just moments before the ball came at her. As soon as it was close, she grabbed it. The force of the ball pushed her back several feet and tore up a few sections on her red tracksuit, but it was enough for her to remain in play.

"My my, you managed to cancel out Tsubaki's spike just like that," Sona smirked in admiration, "Can't expect anything less from you."

"Don't forget Sona, I'm a Gremory and that's just how we roll!" Rias said as she returned the ball at full force. Her eyes glowed red as she mentally manipulated the ball through a magic circle, causing it to jet even faster. Tomoe Meguri, the girl who was eyeing Netto early, was the unlucky target to hit by the ball. As the ball was enhanced with Rias' magic at the time, it went as far as to disintegrate her bloomers, causing her to cry out in embarrassment.

"This match is getting out of control!" Netto exclaimed, cursing himself for not expecting such things to happen after seeing the tennis battle. The moment of distraction was enough for one of the girls remaining of the opposing team to throw the ball of the back of his head.

"Behind you!" Netto quickly turned around just in time to see the ball flying at his face. Out of the blue, Akeno leapfrogged over him and snatched the ball out of the air before it could touch him, revealing her flexibility and reflexes. "You need to keep your head in the game, sweety!" she winked.

"Yeah, thanks for the save," Netto nodded, trying to ignore the sight of her bra under her shirt. "Can't get any more chaotic than this, though."

---

"Horraagg!" Taurus bellowed as he rammed right into Omega-Xis. The blue alien yelled out as the slam sent him flying right through a shed. Dust flew up and shrapnels scattered from the impact. Omega-Xis gave a low grunt as he struggled to get back up. Taurus only continued on with the assault as he rammed into Omega-Xis once more, sending him flying into basketball backboard. He smashed into the ground as the pole of the system came crashing down on him. As Omega-Xis pushed the pole off of him, Taurus cupped his hands together and formed a large ball of fire. He threw it at Omega-Xis with a forceful shout. Omega-Xis couldn't get away in time as the ball collided against him and exploded loudly, causing dust and smoke to blast upward.

"Damn it..." Omega-Xis panted, slowly getting out of the smoke and back on his... tail.

"I am the most powerful warrior on planet FM, Omega-Xis," Taurus boasted, folding his arms. He had quickly floated upwards again to likely show of his superiority, "You have no chance of defeating me!"

"Keh," Omega-Xis scoffed, "Like hell I'm gonna lose to you. All you are is power, nothing else!" He took off to the air and flew at full speed, flying all around Taurus. Taurus looked around and tried to track Omega-Xis, but the renegade was moving too fast to face. Seeing a moment of opportunity, Omega-Xis flew forward and slammed into Taurus, sending him falling out of the sky. "You're strong, but you can't keep up with my speed!" Omega-Xis taunted as he flew up into a loop and speed down onto Taurus again. He smashed into the ox-like alien sending him flying down onto the earth. Floating back up, Omega-Xis took a look at where Taurus was due to land. When he calculated the landing point, his eyes widened, "Uh oh, isn't that..."

---

The dodgeball game had suddenly gotten from out of control to downright chaotic. Magic attacks filled the air and explosions erupted around the playing field. The ball was bouncing around from magic circle to magic circle like a manic pinball. It even ended up crashing through one of the windows. Throughout the game, several of the players who were outed had return to play (and wore replacement outfits in place of the ones that got shredded) to fuel the numbers. It was no longer a simple game now, it was an all out war.

"Hey, Kaichou. Want me to take out that sissy-ass pawn?" Saji offered, pounding his fist into his palm.

"No, I got him," Sona shook her head, her glinting glasses already targeting Netto. A blue magic circle appeared behind her, allowing her to press her feet back and propelling herself into several frontflips before throwing the ball, "Avoid this if you can, Kusanagi-kun!"

"Oh, come on!" Netto shouted, ducking down to avoid the ball. The spinning orb suddenly twisted in midair as it came down on him, "What the hell? It's homing on me?!"

"Watch out, Net!" Rias shouted.

"I know, I know!" Netto growled, trying to escape the demonic possessed ball. Every twist and faints he tried to pull were no good at all, as the ball still continued chasing him wherever he went. "Damn! If that's how she wants it..." Netto quickly stopped in his tracks as the ball was nearing behind him. At the last split second, he backflipped in a twist over the ball and grabbed it out of the air. He landed back down on the ground with his feet stomping on the wood and the ball hugged to his chest, giving a heaving sigh of relief.

"No way!" Saji gasped in disbelief.

"Wow, that's impressive," Sona smiled.

"Nice catch!" Rias smiled, giving a thumbs up.

"Oh yeah!" Netto grinned, palming the ball, "Parkour for the wi-!"

BOOM!

There was a rumble and smash on the ceiling of the gym, followed by smoke, debris, and a scream that sounded as if someone was falling. Netto dropped the ball in shock, startled, and everyone one else looked up at the ceiling in surprise. Another boom was heard, this time on the Sitri's end of the court. Those nearby managed to escape before the dust picked up. Saji wasn't as lucky as he was the closest. The impact knocked him backward onto his rear as he coughed out the dust from his lungs.

"Aw, crap. What hit me?" Saji coughed loudly, rubbing his eyes. As soon as the dust settled, he gasped at what he saw, or rather, what he could make out. Before him was some sort of transparent being that resembled some sort of animal with horns. The being slowly lifted itself up and turned its head at the boy, causing him to pale considerable.

"Now it's come to this..." he heard the transparent being smirk.

"Do not want! Do not want!" Saji screamed as he quickly got up to his feet and ran as far away from the invisible creature as he could.

"Saji! What's the matter?" Sona shouted after him, unnerved by her Pawn's sudden panic attack.

Netto grimaced as he flipped his Visualizer over his eyes. With it, he could easily see what was making Saji freak out and frowned deeper from it, "Saji! Get out of the way!" he shouted, causing the members of the Sitri Peerage to look at him in confusion.

"Your body is mine, boy!" the transparent life form roared. The creature morphed into reddish-orange energy and beamed itself into Saji's Transer. To shock of everyone in the gym, Saji disappeared into thin air.

"He vanished! Oh no!" Asia screamed in shock.

"Where did he go? Saji!" Tsubaki shouted.

And then both the ORC and Student Counsel heard a disembodied voice yell out, "EM Wave Change! Genshirou Saji! On Air!" In the EM Wave realm unseen by everyone else but Netto, orange flames surrounded Saji and didn't burn anything except for his clothing as pieces of armor attached to his body. His body grew more muscular, pronounced, and became double sized as more armor connected to him. He gained a black bodysuit, dark red shin guards with hooves for feet and spikes on the knees, giant red gauntlets with gray fingers and torches with fire coming out of his elbows and back, large and heavy chest armor that was red and gray with orange accents, and red shoulder pads. His helmet was ox-like, with long and sharp horns, a red helmet with spikes protruding from the top, and a muzzle that looked like a blow torch. Finally, a gold ox symbol was stamped over his forehead.

Omega-Xis flew through the hole caused by Taurus' fall and gasped at the being standing in the center of the gym. "No, I'm too late!"

"Hrrnn..." the heavy ox creature growled as he noticed Omega-Xis. With a loud roar, he shot a large stream of fire from his muzzle and excess flames flared from his elbows and openings in his chest armor. The fire stream struck Omega-Xis, causing him to yell out as he was pushed back onto the other end of the gym. While no one else seemed to notice the flames or the aliens, they did notice large explosion suddenly smashing onto the far end of the wall.

"This is not a good! We are so hosed!" Netto exclaimed.

"What's going on? What happened to Saji?" Sona asked, looking at Rias, "Rias, do you know?"

"It's..."

Before Rias was able to give an answer, the air in the center of the gym suddenly began to fade and twist. The ox figure appeared before the teenaged devils with a low-pitch growl. Everyone immediately tensed for an oncoming fight.

"Alien number two, I prosume?" Rias frowned.

"Wait, did she just say 'alien'?" Ruruko whispered in shock.

"Kaichou, I hate to say it, but that thing over there is Saji," Netto frowned. "He's been taken over by an alien."

"What? How?!" Sona demanded.

Omega-Xis growled as picked himself up from the floor, "So Taurus, you can use an EM Wave Change as well..."

"I am no longer Taurus," the ox spoke, sounding a lot like Saji with an electronic distortion, "I am now Taurus Fire!" He gave a loud bellow as fire erupted from his muzzle, elbows, chest, and back.

"Taurus Fire? Couldn't you've picked a less obvious name?" Netto remarked. He seemed to have picked a bad time to speak as Taurus Fire turned around to glare at him, "Oh boy!"

"Fire Breath!" Taurus Fire breathed out his flame breath directly at Netto. The goggle-faced boy quickly rolled out away. The flame breath spreaded across the gym as the rest of the other devils evaded the flame breath, but fire quickly started to catch on. Sona acted quickly by summoning a magic circle in front of her and shooting a wave of water at the flames, dousing them out instantly.

"Netto, do it!" Rias ordered, jumping backwards from Taurus Fire. "Save Saji!"

"Omega-Xis, you heard the woman!" Netto shouted.

"Right!" Omega-Xis morphed into a streak of green light and flew towards Netto as he charged at Taurus Fire.

"Electromagnetic Wave Change! On Air!" Netto shouted. Omega-Xis collided with Netto and engulfed him in green fire, jumping up and spinning through the air before smashing against Taurus Fire. The flame ox staggered backwards as the green flame jumped back and landed some meters away before dispersing, revealing the EM Wave Devil in the flesh. The Sitri devils all gaped in shock as they all quickly recognized the boy in the blue suit.

"It's him! That hero guy!" Tomoe exclaimed, pointing.

"Wow, it's really him!" another girl, a slim one with long brown hair that ended in two short braids and matching eyes, Kusaka Reya, added.

"Rias, what is going on? What happened to Saji? What is your Pawn?" Sona demanded from the red-haired Gremory heiress.

"Right now Saji has been taken over both body and mind by an electromagnetic alien life form," Rias explained. She saw skepticism in her friend's eyes. "I know, I thought the same thing, but apparently we're not alone in this universe after all."

"And is your Pawn the same?" Sona asked.

"No," Rias shook her head. "Netto is a different. Like this he's called Mega Man."

"Mega Man..." Sona murmured. She had heard rumors of this 'Mega Man', aka the Blue Bomber of Kodama. She and the rest of her peerage had been investigate for several days ever since he first appeared due to a superhuman being that could risk exposing the supernatural world to the mundane humans. Perhaps even recruit him if she had the chance. But it would appear that Rias got the Blue Bomber as part of her peerage first.

"Can he save Saji?" Sona asked.

Rias smiled, recalling how Netto and Omega-Xis had saved the city from being destroyed, "Yes, he can."

"Omega-Xis, is there a way for us to separate them?" Mega Man asked.

Omega-Xis replied, "It's simple. All you need to do is defeat him. He might be strong, but he's not very good at taking a ton of punishment."

"You? Defeat me? Hah!" Taurus Fire laughed as flames erupted from his muzzle while scraping his right foot against the floor. "Ridiculous! I'm going to destroy you and take back the Andromeda Key! Ox Tackle!" He performed a shoulder tackle and rushed towards Mega Man like a stampeding bull.

"Netto, dodge it!" Mega Man leapt to the side, allowing Taurus Fire to run past him. Taurus Fire made a U-turn and charged at him again, forcing Mega Man to jump upward. The bovine bastard smashed into the wall, causing debris to go flying and dust to rise into the air.

"The beefcake isn't that smart, is he?" Mega Man asked, landing to the ground and running after the enemy.

"He's a musclehead. What do you expect?" Omega-Xis answered, "But what he lacks in strategy, he makes up in brute force."

Mega Man made his way outdoors from the wall and looked around. "What? How can a giant piece of steak hide himself?" he frowned.

"Who's hiding?!" Taurus Fire shouted, jumping out of nowhere. Mega Man turned in shock, too startled to react."Fire Breath!" Taurus Fire breathed on Mega Man and the flames swirled around the Blue Bomber. "Now you're trapped! Burn! Flame Tower!"

Mega Man screamed as fire burst out from under his feet, engulfing him. The fire quickly vanished and left him on his knees, smoking. Taurus Fire stomped over towards Mega Man and reached forward to grab him, only to be fended off by a sudden blur and steel scraping against his armor. Taurus Fire quickly jumped back before glaring at the attack.

"You haven't forgotten about the rest of us, have you?" Yuuto taunted. He had his sword at his side and Mega Man on his shoulders. "Or maybe you just too bullheaded?"

"What'd you just say?" Taurus Fire glared, crossing his arms as flames jetted out from his elbows and chest. "Anger Punch!" Taurus Fire lunged at them and smashed his fist into the spot Yuuto was standing. The ground ripped apart as fire and magma spewed out of the cracks like a geyser.

Yuuto skid across the ground and quickly set Mega Man on the ground. "You alright, hero?"

"Just... toasty," Mega Man quipped. Asia was quickly at his side and activated her Twilight Healing help him recover.

"Here you go," Asia said, washing her green lit hands over his wounds, "We're going to need everything we've got to save Saji-san."

"Thanks, Asia," Mega Man said gratefully as the pain slowly went away.

Koneko leapt into action next, spinning in midair before launching a reverse roundhouse into Taurus Fire's head. She cracked one of his horns on impact and caused him to stumble. Taurus Fire roared angrily as he slammed his fist into the small girl. She screamed out as she was sent tumbling across the ground. Just then, Taurus Fire felt himself being lifted off of his feet, much to his shock, "What in blazes?!"

"Sorry about this, Saji," Tsubasa apologized, holding Taurus Fire over her head. She gave a loud yell and pulled a German suplex, smashing Taurus Fire's head right into the dirt.

"Now!" Sona shouted. She, Tsubaki, Rias, and Akeno all summoned their magic circles and began shooting volleys of demonic blasts at Taurus Fire as soon as Tsubasa got out of the way. The ox FMian grunted and shouted in pain as he was pelted with the energy, with the dust picking up from the assaults. The four women stopped their attacks quickly as the dust obscured their view. Taurus Fire jumped out of the smoke onto his hands and knees, slowly growling as he staggered back up.

"Alright, now you've asked for it," he growled, scrapping his foot against the ground.

"Yo, hamburger face!" Taurus Fire turned around, looking at Mega Man standing behind him. He was back to full health thanks to Asia's Twilight Healing and was pointing his buster gun at him. "You're dealing with me."

"Nrr, that's right. I still have to deal with you," Taurus Fire snarled. "Melt Creeper!" He slammed his hand down onto the ground, summoning blaze of fire scorching towards Mega Man. He leaped away from it and shot bursts of ultra-condensed radio waves at Taurus Fire. The blasts pelted against his chest and one got a clean shot on his face, causing him to growl out as he rubbed his eyes.

"Hey, that really hurt!" Taurus Fire snarled.

"Humph, don't have a cow, man," Mega Man smirked.

"Alright kid, you wanna play rough? Then let's go!" he shouted, a small black gauntlet that resembled a chameleon with a deformed face manifesting on his left on.

"Omega-Xis, what's that?" Mega Man asked.

"I'm not sure," Omega-Xis said, confused, "I've never seen Taurus with that thing before."

Sona, however, recognized what it was very well. Her eyes widened as he saw what Taurus Fire was about to do. "Mega Man! Don't let him grab you!"

"What?" Mega Man blinked, turning to her.

Taurus Fire grinned as his enemy was distracted by the call, "She means THIS!" he shouted, pointing the gauntlet at him and launching a blue line from the chameleon's mouth. Mega Man didn't have enough time to react as the line wrapped around his arm and latched on tightly. He tugged hard and pulled the EM Wave Devil up into the air. "Down boy!" he shouted, throwing him into the dirt.

BOOM! Mega Man yelled out painfully as he slammed down.

"Down I said!" Taurus Fire shouted, pulling up and down again.

BOOM! An imprint of Mega Man's body dug into the ground.

"Again!"

BOOM! The imprint was now a ten foot wide crater.

"And now, Absorption Line!" Taurus Fire's command, the line glowed as Mega Man was getting back up. To his shock, he felt his energy being drained as he was forced down onto his knees.

"What the... I'm feeling weaker...!" Mega Man cursed tiredly.

"Hahaha! I should've done this long ago! I'll just suck you dry and take the Andromeda Key! Easy picking!" Taurus Fire laughed.

"Hah!"

"Oof!" Tomoe lept over Taurus Fire and stomped her feet onto his head, disoriented him enough for the line to loosen its grip on Mega Man. Seeing this, Mega Man ripped the line from his arm and pulled out another Battle Card.

"Thanks for the save! Now you'd better move!" Tomoe jumped out of the way as Mega Man tossed the card into the air and Omega-Xis ate it, "Battle Card, Predation! Cannon!" Mega Man aimed the cannon and fired bursts of concentrated blasts at Taurus Fire, forcing him backwards as he shielded his face.

"Sona, I'm assuming that was Saji's Scared Gear?" Rias asked Sona.

"Yes, it's called Absorption Line," Sona nodded, "It has the ability to absorb power from anyone it grabs until they pass out."

"And Taurus Fire can use it since he has Saji's body," Rias frowned. Scared Gears were rare weapons that could only be found in certain human beings. They were the reason devils would try to recruit them into their groups after all. And now it seemed the FMians were capable of using the Gears provided that they possessed the user. "Net, this is starting to get out of hand! The longer he's in Saji the more he'll learn about the Absorption Line! End it quickly!"

"You back off!" Taurus Fire shouted, spitting a Fire Breath at her. Rias' wings ejected as she flew upward and avoid the tongue of flames.

"Hanaki! Reya! Hold him down!" Sona ordered. The Bishops of the Sitri Devils quickly went to both of Taurus Fire's sides and began to focus their magic, closing their eyes and pointing their hands at him. The blue magic circle of the Sitris glowed underneath the bull, emitting some sort of gravitational field as he was being forced down to his knees.

"What... why I'm I... so heavy...?" Taurus Fire demanded, grunting slowly as he tried to pull himself back up.

"This is our chance!" Omega-Xis said. Mega Man nodded and pulled out one more Battle Card. "Battle Card, Predation! Aiming Laser!" Omega-Xis ate the card and transformed into seven-barreled gun. Mega Man took aim and fired streaking laser beams at Taurus Fire. The beams relentlessly struck him again and again until he finally couldn't take anymore. He collapsed onto his back with a heavy thud and glowed in bright orange energy, leaving Saji's unconscious body on the ground.

"I'll get you for this, Mega Man," Taurus' voice echoed in the night air, "And your friends too!"

The Satella Police arrived shortly after and closed off the gym, serving the damage that took place in the battle. The police were only able to find traces of electromagnetic energy in the gym and the field outside of it, but knew that Mega Man had been there recently. Detective Goyoda was once again stymied. He wasn't able to find much information about the vigilante, but he did know that the sudden wave of electromagnetic related crimes only started to grow worse after he appeared.

He was determined to get to the bottom of this, no matter what.

As for the ORC and Student Council, they all retreated back to the old school building as soon as the cops arrived. They had placed Saji one of the of couches of the room to properly recover. He groaned quietly as his eyes fluttered opened, slowly sitting up.

"Hey, he's awake!" Saji turned his head, finding the concerned faces of his fellow Student Council members. "Saji, are you ok?" Ruruko asked him.

"Oh, hey guys. I guess I got knocked out or something," Saji said, his voice drowsy. "Did we win?"

The SC looked at him in confusion. "Are you feeling alright?" Momo asked him.

"Yeah, never better. What's up?" Saji replied, completely clueless.

"What do you mean 'what's up'? Don't tell me you completely forgot?" Tomoe replied.

"Um, huh?" Saji blinked before his eyes snapped wide. "Oh no, don't tell me I pissed off Kaichou somehow!"

"He really doesn't remember," Tsubasa said, scratching her head. "Should we tell him?"

"Well, he's gonna find out eventually. We might as well," Reya shrugged.

As Saji was being brought up to speed and what happened, the Kings and Queens of both groups looked out of the window as they watched the Satella Police investigating the battlefield. Rias gave the abridged version of what had been happening the past few days to both Sona and Tsubaki. The Sitri heiress looked calm, but she was slightly pale to learn that aliens existed and were targeting Earth to be destroyed for some reason.

"So basically, nine invisible aliens have invaded Earth. You and the rest of your group fought one of them already and the one that possessed Saji was the second one so far?" Sona summarized, her voice calm and serious.

"That's the gist of it," Rias told her.

"What about this Omega-Xis character then?" Tsubaki pressed on, "And what's this Andromida Key they want?"

"Omega-Xis is tight-lipped about it. Everytime we ask, he keeps saying that it's none of our business. But he does seem like he honestly wants to stop them," Rias said. "I have already sent a report to the Four Satans in regards to the invasion and they are trying to figure out what to do about it. They are already planning on a proper meeting with the other two factions so that it can be discussed properly."

"I see," Sona nodded, rubbing her chin. "Well, if it's of any help, us Sitris will assist you anyway possible. To be honest, I was secretly fascinated by the idea of life existing beyond our worlds when I was younger. What was the old saying... be careful what you wish for? I guess I should've been more careful in wishing to to see aliens back then," she joked.

"Well, none of us could've predicted it," Rias smiled humorously.

Meanwhile, Netto was on the other sofa with Asia as both of them were talking to Omega-Xis. "So that was a Sacred Gear, eh?" Omega-Xis mused, his voice concerned, "Taurus really lucked out to take control of someone with a weapon like that. If that Saji-guy's Sacred Gear was able to do that to us, it'd be bad to find out what would happen of the others get their hands on people with other Gears."

"It's difficult to find out if someone has a Sacred Gear," Asia nodded. "Usually only people who have high magical awareness can tell if someone has one."

"Which means that until they possess one, we won't know if the FMians have control over a Sacred Gear user," Netto finished. "Man, that's really not good. At the very least we just have to hope that they don't get control over someone with one of those Longinus Gears. We'd be in deep trouble if they did."

"Um, hey?" another voice interrupted. Netto and Asia looked up. Tomoe was standing by for them with a light blush on her face and rubbing the back of her head, "Thanks for saving our friend back there. It's super awesome that you're the Blue Bomber of Kodama right here in the flesh! I totally promise not to tell anyone, your secret's safe with me!" she said rapidly before taking a deep breath through her nose.

"Uh, yeah sure," Netto smiled back, "And thanks for saving me. It was really appreciated."

"Hehe! Oh, go on!" Tomoe giggled, "You know if you want. Maybe we can hang out sometime. I mean, we're both devils so we don't have to hide much. I kinda wanna get to know you better."

"Uh... yeah," Netto nodded.

"Huh?" Rias blinked, looking over at Tomoe, "Hey, Sona. What's with your Knight?"

"Meguri?" Sona asked, a smile creeping on her face, "She's mostly attracted to younger boys. And it looks like Kusanagi-kun has caught her eye." Seeing her rival flinch from her words made her raise her eyebrows. 'Oh my... is she...? Oh well, I'll deal with that later.' Then she turned to her peerage. "Everyone, it's time for us to get going." Then she turned back to Rias, "And Rias, considering that your Pawn saved mine, I think letting you take the opportunity to go to the Forest of Familiars is good enough."

"Well, thanks for that," Rias nodded. "See you tomorrow."

"Same to you. Let's get going everyone," Sona said, leading the group out of the room as they supported Saji with them. "Good luck with your search, Rias," Sona said just before the door closed behind them.

To be continued...

Tailsmo4ever: Another chapter down and out. Here, I combined the Siri introduction storyline with the Taurus Fire arc. I felt that it was a good fit. Plus, I got to use a character from DxD as the host of Taurus. I plan to do more of that as the story goes on.

UP IN THE SKY! STARGAZE CORNER:

NETTO KUSANAGI/MEGA MAN: A Kouh Academy student who is 14 going on 15, Netto Kusanagi aspires to be a technological scientist like his mom and dad. However, the mysterious disappearance of his father and the constant accusations of his female peers has left him depressed and antisocial. His life would never quite be the same after his run in with a runaway alien named Omega-Xis, who partners up with him to become Mega Man. That wasn't the end of it as he later discovers that he had been turned into a devil by the most beautiful girl in his school Rias Gremory, and while he was at first resistant over it he later becomes accepting of his situation after she and her servants help him save the city from certain doom. Mega Man has standard speed, strength, and agility enhancements. He was strong enough to lift a train car over his head and can move around the Earth within seconds at full speed. They can be further upgraded with the Promotions Rias grants him when she deems it so. His main weapon is an arm cannon known as the Mega Buster, which is really the head of his partner Omega-Xis. He can be given more weapons and buffs with his Battle Cards. With his visors, he has enhanced vision and can view things from faraway, microscopically, and can see hidden objects. However, these abilities are just scratching the surface of what he can really do...

RAYNARE/CYGNUS WING: Raynare, a low-tier yet manipulative fallen angel, sought out Asia Argento's Twilight Healing to rise up among the ranks of the fallen angels, but a chance encounter with the alien Cygnus changed all that. As Cygnus Wing, she can manipulate the air with ease, use her feathers as razor weapons, and cause tornado storms that can decimate anything before her. Added with her fallen angel ability to project holy light, she has become far deadlier that she could have ever imagined. The only drawback is that Cygnus' goals somewhat conflicts with Raynare's and it causes them to argue. Then there's the fact that Cygnus himself is slowly chipping away her sanity without even realizing it.

GENSHIROU SAJI/TAURUS FIRE: Second year student at Kouh Academy and the only male of Sona Sitri's Peerage. With 4 pawn pieces, Genshirou Saji is weaker than Netto who has eight, much to his annoyance. However, he gets a large power boost when combining with Taurus. Unwillingly that is. Taurus Fire has control over flames and super tank-like power. A hothead in every way, his flames can reach up to 7,000 degrees and his fists can cause earthsharing blows that can spew out hot gas and magma if he commands it so. Not to mention that he has full control over Saji's Sacred Gear, Absorption Line, which can drain the power of anyone it grabs.
