Outsider Chronicles: Slash Dog

Getting reborn as the son of a notorious supervillain in an equally notarius world should have been the start of a fight to remain on the side of light. Fortunately for me, this version of the world is a lot more Shonen than I was expecting.

And we're back. Before we begin, this probably goes without saying, but by the power vested in me as the Author of this fic, I'm modifying Rachels past slightly. Enjoy!

Chapter 7

The next week went by quickly. Between training with Rossweisse and Thor (who had finally introduced himself and his wife properly, giving everyone but Lisa and Aisha a heart attack in the process), school and occasionally stumbling on crimes on my wanderings, often accompanied by either Aisha or Rachel. Honestly, I was a little worried about the latter. Ever since she'd received that sword, she'd been even worse than normal. She'd often disappear for hours at a time and returned late at night, covered in blood and bruises. I don't know what she was doing, but she wasn't targeting Hookwolf's events and whatever it was was dangerous. I wanted to find a way to help her, but I didn't think she'd talk to me if I asked.

"Urrg, this is gonna give me a headache," I grumbled as I rubbed my temples.

Currently, I was stood on the roof of a building in the downtown area of the city, watching the general populous go about their day without really seeing and being glad that I'd managed to create a runic array for my jacket that kept me toasty, despite the mid January chill. By which I mean it was fucking cold.

"What am I supposed to do Zwei?" I asked.

"I find that ice cream helps."

"GAH!"

I nearly jumped out of my skin at the unexpected voice. Sitting on the edge of the roof, where I'm certain no one had been sitting a moment ago, was a young girl who looked about ten, with long, blonde hair, blue eyes and a slightly dotty air about her. She was wearing a green hoodie, blue jeans and was barefoot, despite the cold, and, for some reason, had a large tub of ice cream in her hands. In January.

"Who are you?" I asked, "And...where did you come from?"

"Oh, I'm Elle," said the girl, "As for where, well, the Author put me here because he thought it'd be funny."

She looked up and waved at...something in a way that gave me a headache. Not that I didn't already have one coming considering that the girl was probably Labyrinth and was acting like Luna.

"Where do you think Dis got the idea from?" asked Elle.

I stared at her for a moment, before sighing.

"Right, breaking the Fourth Wall aside, what do you want?" I asked.
Elle tilted her head on one side.

"Whats the Fourth Wall?" she asked innocently.

Aaaand once again I found myself staring at her, unable to form a response. Seriously, what the hell?! I know Labyrinths pretty fucked up, but I was expecting her to be withdrawn and nervus, not, well Luna at her most Seer Savantisness! And yes, I know thats not a word, but you try being coherent around Elle!

Before I could properly think of a way to respond, a loud explosion shook the roof. I spun around and immediately spotted a large pillar of smoke rising from the are of the city that was Merchant territory.

"You should go," said Elle, "Your friends need help."

I blinked and turned to face the girl, only to find that she'd vanished.

"Damn brat," I muttered as I started running towards the smoke, "Wouldn't surprise me if her surname really was Lovegood…"

I shoved that thought down in favour of summoning Zwei from my shadow and tightening my fighters gloves. Something told me that this was going to be messy.


I was completely right. I arrived at the source of the explosion to find that, rather than a large fight with Capes and gang members, Vista and Gallant were apparently being harassed by…I froze, my eyes widening as I recognized the silver hair and weaponry the Wards attacker was using. A light sword and a Light Gun.

FREED SELLZEN!

I growled and jumped off the building, sprinting towards the fight as fast as I could, my mind spinning. Why was Freed here? And more importantly, why the fuck was he picking a fight with a couple of Wards?! He was a maniac who would have no problem with slaughtering any random person who got in his way, but I didn't think he'd attack someone completely at random! Then again, butterflys and all that and its not impossible that he'd 'rationalize' it away with the excuse that Parahumans powers came from Devils or something. There was a time, shortly after they first appeared, that thats exactly what some people thought. Hell, there were STILL people who thought that powers came from the Devil and were a herald of the End Times. Ironically enough, that wasn't entirely inaccurate.

I shook my head and refocused on the matter at hand. Freed was vicious, powerful and extremely skilled, so I'd be at a disadvantage. On the other hand, I would probably be a better choice than any of the Heroes because Freed played for keeps and in a fight like this, so did I.

"HAA, TIME TO DIE KIDDIES!" screamed Freed as he bounded over a car and aimed his sword at Vista's back.

"Not likely asshole!" I snarled as I vaulted over a car and kicked him in the face.

"OUCHIE!"

CLANG!

"What the...Slash Dog?" said Gallant, looking rather surprised.

"Get out of here," I said as Zwei expanded to full size, "This isn't an opponent you can fight."

"But…" started Vista, before Gallant grabbed her and dragged her away.

Good choice. With them there, Freed could go after them when I kicked his arse.

"Owww, that hurt asshole!" snarled Freed, "Who are you?!"

I narrowed my eyes.

"I should be asking you that, Judas Priest," I said, "Any particular reason your attacking Humans? I thought your type was more into attacking Devils?"

"Oh, I would normally," said Freed, "But those brats had the nerve to stop my Holy work! I'd just cornered one of the scumbags and that wannabe knight had the nerve to hit me from behind! Well, I won't take it! Any who help Devil Scum and those that call upon them must be cleansed!"

I stared at him.

"Bullshit," I said, "You just love killing."

Freed paused and looked thoughtful for a moment, before shrugging.

"True, but I don't kill those who follow the Lord," he said, "Now, since you took my pray, YOU CAN REPLACE THEM!"

"PANZERSCHILD!"

The triangular barrier popped into existence as Freed tried to stab me, before Zwei pounced, forcing the crazed Priest to jump back or get diced. I clasped my hands together as my barrier vanished, summoning another Magic circle, before flinging my hands out and sending a wave of needle-like beams of blue energy shooting at Freed. The bastard proved that he'd more than earned his stripes by dodging them, despite the fact he was having to contend with Zwei at the same time. I growled and summoned more circles, only stopping when the focus required got to much, and proceeded to bombard the area in front of me with as much firepower as I could manage.

After a full twenty seconds, I let up my attack and waited for the resulting dust cloud to clear...only to suddenly feel a flash of pain across my bond with Zwei and for Freed to erupt out of the cloud, sword already in motion.

"NICE TRY BRAT!" he screamed, his face twisted in an insane grin.

I cursed in my head as I pulled on my power to summon some blades, even though I knew I wouldn't be quick enough. That was the biggest problem with wide area attacks, they always threw up a smokescreen. I really needed to learn how to fly so this would be less of a problem!

I crossed my arms to try and block the attack enough that he wouldn't just kill me, already knowing I wouldn't get out of this without getting hurt. I didn't even have enough time to create a Barrier…

Selbstverteidigung.

Before I could react, a round barrier appeared in front of me, just in time to deflect Freeds attack.

"What the fuck?!" spluttered the mad Exorcist, before my foot slammed into his stomach, sending him flying.

Now I was no longer at risk of getting stabbed, I stuck my hand into my pocket where the voice had come from and pulled out the red crystal pendant.

"Was that you?" I asked, feeling a little foolish.

Jawohl.

I blinked, then sighed.

"Your a Device, aren't you?"

The crystal just twinkled.

"Alright then, I guess I'll bite," I said, slipping the pendent over my shoulder, "Lets go, Set Up!"

Stahlfauste, einrichten!

The pendent shone brightly and I felt my magic react, pulling Mana from the air to wrap around me. I felt my clothing change, becoming heavier and my jacket turning into a long coat with armour plates on the shoulders and hips as the gauntlets appeared on my hands. I felt a connection open between me and them, linking my mind and magic with the artificial intelligence housed within the Armed Device.

"I don't suppose your settings can be changed to English?" I asked as the light faded.

Acknowledged, preference set.

"Thanks."

I refocused on Freed as he slowly got to his feet, glaring at me as Zwei moved back to my side, a deep gash in his side slowly sealing itself.

"You OK boy?" I asked.

Zwei nodded, not taking his eyes of Freed.

"Good, now lets see what these can do."

"Ohhh, very impressive," said Freed, "I don't know what that was, but it won't help you! I'm gonna finish with you, then hunt down those two brats who got in my way!"

I scowled and slipped into a fighting stance.

"Big mistake," I growled, "Now I'm not holding back at all. No one threatens my friends!"

I threw out my hands.

PHOTON LANCER!

Multiple spheres of what looked like black and red lightning formed around me. Freed paused at the sight of them and paled slightly.

"Well shit," he said.

SHOOT!

BOOM!

"GAHHHH!"

Freed was sent flying as my shooting spell slammed into him. I decided to think about possible reasons as to why I was apparently defaulting to Fates Shooting spell when my default Barrier spell was Panzerschild later, instead I sent Zwei after him again as I followed.

PROMOTION: KNIGHT!

I gasped as I felt my Mana flow through me, increasing my speed, agility and perception. Somehow, I knew that the spell was an inbuilt one that essentially mimicked the Promotion power of a Pawn, albeit without quite as much power behind it. Without the near limitless power of an Evil Piece, it could only affect me to the level of my Mana reserves, but it was still an impressive boost. A boost I put to excellent use by zipping up to Freed and slugging him in the face. It was rather cathartic. I grinned at the look of utter shock on Freeds face as he slowly (to me) arched back, before I blurred and hit him repeatedly, pummeling as hard as I could as Zwei joined the fray and started jumping up and down on the bastards stomach.

Of course, I was so caught up in my power new power boost and the great feeling of kicking Freeds ass that I completely forgot that I was dealing with someone who was able to take on a Balance Breaker and Durandal at the same time. True, he had the Fused Excalibur, but that was still impressive. He showed that impressive skill by taking advantage of a tiny opening I left between strikes and shooting me in the gut. I stumbled back, clutching my stomach as I gasped for breath. My Knight Clothing had prevented the bullet from actually hurting me, but it was still enough to wind me. Freed took advantage of the further opened by lashing out with his sword and stabbing Zwei through the head.

I screamed in pain as the feedback slammed into my head like a brick and collapsed, my Device deactivating as Zwei's body dissolved. I'd be able to re-summon him of course, but that. Fucking. Hurt!

"You...damn...brat!" snarled Freed as he slowly pushed himself to his feet, "No one does that to Freed Sellzen!"

He was a mess, his nose clearly broken, his hair mussed and dirty from being slammed into the ground and his cassock covered in mud, dirt and blood.

"Heh, thats quite a claim considering I just beat you up," I gasped.

Freed scowled.

"True, but theres no way you're gonna live now!"

He pointed his gun at my head. I growled as I tried to force myself to move, summon another attack, anything. However, the pain in my head and stomach meant I couldn't focus. Holy crap, I was gonna die! Killed by the maniac who, while no pushover, still managed to go out like a chump! This...this sucked!

I could only watch as Freed pulled the trigger...only to get sent flying as a fist slammed into his face once again. He flew back, only to twist nauseatingly and slam into the ground, hard. I blinked and looked up to see that Gallant and Vista had come back and were now stood over me at the ready.

"I thought I told you two to go?" I said as I finally managed to regain my breath.

"If we had, you'd be dead," said Vista.

"Point taken," I said, "Still, this guys a lot more dangerous than most of the folks you'll have fought."

"That might be true, but we can't leave a fellow Hero to die," said Gallant.

"Hero huh?" I muttered, "Eh, whatever, I'll take the help."

"YOU FUCKING BRATS!" snarled Freed, getting to his feet again.

Good god, what did it take to keep this bastard down?!

"You think this'll be enough to stop me!? Please, you don't scare me!"

"Then how about us?"

A magic circle appeared and flashed, revealing Rachel, Aisha and Lisa in her new costume, all of whom looked pissed.

"Hmm, I think this might end badly," I muttered as I spotted Vista and Gallant stiffen out of the corner of my eye.

"Tch, more weaklings?" sneered Freed.

Then, he hopped back as Aisha lashed out with Night Reflection, turning the shadows into deadly blades and spears to attack.

"On second thoughts, this might be to much," said Freed, "Fine, you've won this one!"

He pulled something out of his coat and threw it down, creating a massive flash of light that blinded everyone. By the time we could see again, Freed was gone.

"Well, that was fun," I grumbled as I slowly got to my feet, "Although I would like to know what you guys are doing here?"

"I sensed your Sacred Gear deactivating and got worried," said Aisha, "What happened?"

"That bastard managed to get Zwei," I growled, "I can re-summon him, but it fucking hurt and I don't think I'll be able to do it until tomorrow."

"Who was that guy?" asked Lisa.

"Freed Sellzen, a Stray Exorcist as far as I can tell," I said, "One thing's for sure, hes a maniac and I highly doubt we've seen the last of him. I need more training."

"Um, excuse me?"

I sighed and turned to the two Wards, who were staring at Rachel with no small amount of confusion.

"Yes?" I asked.

"What is she doing here?" asked Vista, pointing at Rachel, "You do know shes a Villain?"

"Was a Villain," said Rachel.

"I've recently been approached by someone with a request to from a team," I said, "Since Rachel is a friend, I asked her to join."

"Shes a murderer," said Gallant.

Lisa scoffed

"Thats bullshit," she said, "The people she 'murdered' died because of her Trigger Event and the only reason she was even landed with those charges is that the PRT were to lazy to actually figure out how her powers worked. You all assume she controls dogs, but she just empowers them."

"I probably ought to ask the old geezer if he knows any good lawyers who could deal with that issue," I said, "It'll become a pain if we don't…"

I shook my head.

"Anyway, thanks for the help guys. I'm sure I'll be returning the favour in the future."

I grinned at the two Wards as I joined my teammates on the Circle. I waved as the Circle activated and we vanished in a flash of light.


We reappeared in the living room of our base and I immediately dropped into the sofa with a groan of relief.

"Urg, my head feels like its been squeezed in a vice," I groaned.

"Good, maybe that'll teach you to be more careful," said Aisha as she stalked off in the direction of her room

I stared after her, before a wrap around the back of my head made me jump.

"Ow!"

"Be more careful," said Rachel as she padded away.

I stared after both girls, rubbing the back of my head in confusion.

"What was all that about?" I muttered.

Lisa snorted, drawing my attention back to her. She shook her head, although her smirk told me that she knew exactly why those two were acting so strangely. I glared at her for a moment, before I sighed and got to my feet.

"Well, I'm going to go…"

I was cut off by my phone going off. I pulled it out and raised an eyebrow when I saw it was Rias.

"Yo Rias, need something?" I asked as I answered the phone.

"We've received an order," said Rias, "If you still want your team to tag along on a Stray Hunt, meet us at that abandoned mansion on Captains Hill in 15 minutes."

"Got it," I said and hung up.

"What was that?" asked Lisa.

"Its time to go," I said, "Get Alec and Brian and have them suit up. Leaving in 15 minutes."

Lisa looked like she was about to ask something, but just nodded and headed for the training room. As she did, I jogged down the halls and banged on Rachel and Aisha's doors.

"Sorry to interrupt ladies, but we've got orders," I said as they opened their doors.

"Stray?" asked Aisha.

"Stray."

She nodded and ducked back into her room for a moment, returning in her shadow costume with her dagger strapped to her belt and heading to the meeting room to get ready to go. I glanced at Rachel and gestured down the hall.

"Shall we?"

Rachel just nodded and followed me to the Meeting room.

"So, what is it that we're doing?" asked Alec once we were all gathered.

"One of the jobs Odin will have for us is dealing with Stray Devils," I said, "They are Devils who betray their masters and run off to cause havoc and destruction on their own. They tend to be...unpleasant. I asked Rias if we could tag along on her next hunt so you lot could get some idea of what we'll be up against."

I looked around at the Undersiders.

"Fair warning, this is NOT the game of cops and robbers Capes play. Strays don't care if your Human, Cape, Devil, Angel or anything in between, if they beat you, they WILL kill you and likely eat you. We won't be getting involved directly in this fight, but for the love of Odin, keep your guard up, understand?"

"Got it boss," said Alec while the others nodded.

I returned the nod and glanced down at my Device.

"Set Up."

Stahlfauste, einrichten!

There was a flash of light and my Barrier Jacket appeared, along with my Device.

"Huh...I didn't take you for a Magical Girl," said Alec.

"Watch it you," I growled as I turned to the Transport Circle and activated it.

Alec high fived Aisha as everyone trooped onto the platform and I activated the transport function. One flash of blue light later and we appeared in a clearing on Captains Hill where we were met by Rias and her Peerage, along with a young woman I didn't recognize. She looked about 30, with brown hair and eyes. She was shorter than average, but as attractive as most people I'd met.

"Hey Rias," I said, "New recruit?"

"Good to see you Sam," said Rias, "And yes. This is my new Rook, Kayden."

"Um, nice to meet you?" said Kayden, looking a little uncomfortable.

"Nice to see you again Kayden," I said after a quick round of introductions, "I wasn't expecting you to join up with Rias. Let me guess, Kaiser pushed to hard?"

Kayden scowled.

"Yes, and I'd thank you for not bringing that up," she growled, "I just got away from the bastard and got a restraining order against him. Now I just want to forget about it."

"Fair enough," I said.

"I'd ask how you two know each other, but thats kinda obvious," said Rias, "Anyway, lets get started."

She started leading the way towards the house.

"Hey, why did Rias refer to her as a Rook?" asked Brian.

"Glad you asked," I said, "Rias?"

"Certainly," said the red haired Devil, "It all goes back to the Great War between Heaven, the Fallen and the Underworld. As you can probably imagine for people with lifespans that measure in millenia, Devils are slow to breed, so after the War, our population was decimated. To help supplement it, a system was implemented to Reincarnate other beings as Devils through the use of Evil Pieces."

She paused as she opened the doors of the house, releasing a foul stench of rotting meat.

"Urg, smells like something died!" gasped Alec, clapping a hand over his nose.

"Most likely because something did," I said, "I did say that Strays kill people."

"This particular one has been luring people into this house and eating them," said Akeno.

Beside me, Lisa gulped and moved a little closer to me. I glanced at her, raising an eyebrow.

"Not a word," she muttered.

I chuckled, but let her stick by me as we headed inside.

"As I was saying, the Evil Piece system is based on chess," said Rias, "Each High Ranking Devil is a King and has a Queen, two Knights, two Bishops, two Rooks and Eight Pawns. Each piece has powers and attributes tied to it that empowers the Devil with certain abilities."

"Like what?" asked Lisa.

"Oh, you'll see," said Rias with a smirk as she stopped in front of a pair of double doors, "I think we just arrived."

"Oh what is that foul faecal smell?" said a voice with a hint of madness in it, "And something smells quite delicious as well. I wonder if it tastes sweet or bitter."

From the shadows behind a pillar, a figure emerged. It was the upper body of a beautiful woman and was completely naked.

"Oh wow, I give that a 7 out of ten!" said Alec with a thumbs up.

"Aisha, hit him," I said.

SMACK!

"OW!"

I just rolled my eyes and moved my hand to where my collapsed spear was hidden under my jacket. Better safe than sorry.

"Viser you wretch, you betrayed your master and ran away to fulfil the lustful wants and desires that have consumed you," said Rias, "Your sins are worthy of a thousand hells. in the name of the great Marques of Gremory, begone, or meet your death!"

"Oh give it a rest you little slut," said Viser, "You've always had it in for me. You're just jealous cus your breasts will never be as luscious as these!"

She grabbed her breasts and started rubbing them, giggling insanely.

"This is your final warning, go back to your master now," said Rias, only to be ignored.

"Wow, this is a stray devil?" asked Alec, "She looks like a softcore late night cable star!"

"let me show you what I'm made of then!" said Viser as a huge hand tipped with red talons emerged from the darkness.

"Gah!"

"Heh, when I said these things are monsters, I wasn't joking," I said with a strained smile.

Indeed I wasn't. The monster before us could probably give Noelle a run for her money in sheer disgustingness. She had the upper body of a beautiful woman, but from the waist down she was a hideous monster. It was gigantic and resembled the lower half of a centaur. but with a pair of humanoid talons tipped with glowing red claws and what looked like teeth in her stomach cavity. And there are no words that could have conveyed just how badly it smelt. a combination of blood, rotting flesh and excrement.

"Shes got a really nice rack though, what a waist," said Alec.

I would have facepalmed, but was more worried about the magic circles that had appeared around the monsters nipples. Her laughter became more psychopathic as the circles got bigger. A second later, beams of yellow energy shot from her breasts. I threw out my hands and summoned a large barrier between us and the Stray, although a few of the beams hit the walls and promptly ate through the structure.

"Ah...maybe not," said Alec.

There was another loud smack.

"Please be careful," said Rias, "Isaiah!"

Said boy grabbed the hilt of the sword at his hip and vanished. Well, to anyone who didn't have years of training and near perfect vision he did at least. I could still follow him with ease.

"Holy shit, hes faster than Assault!" gasped Lisa.

"In this game Kibas my Knight," said Rias, "His attribute is speed and his ultimate attack is his sword."

The Knight appeared below the Stray and sliced off her huge taloned arms. The Stray screamed in agony as Koneko stepped forwards. Visers face began to change, becoming more demonic with parana like teeth and pointed ears as her stomach opened to reveal a massive mouth.

"Look out!" yelled Brian as the Stray bore down on the small girl, the huge jaws slamming shut on her.

I put a hand out to stop my teammates from running in to help.

"That won't be necessary," I said.

"Indeed," said Rias, smirking.

Viser shook as she struggled to keep her mouth shut, only for it to be forced open, revealing Koneko standing there looking none the worse for wear.

"In the game shes my Rook," explained Rias, "Her attribute is simple. She has unparalleled strength. That won't even put a dent in her."

My teammates were gaping at the small girl as she stood in the monster's jaws, keeping them open with seemingly no trouble. I'm not sure why though considering Brutes weren't exactly uncommon. Still, it was still odd to see such a small girl with that much strength and her uniform was a little tattered.

"See you on the flip side," said Koneko, swinging her fist and shattering Visers teeth, sending her flying into the pillars.

"Note to self, do not piss her off," said Alec.

"Good god, shes stronger than Glory Girl," whimpered Lisa.

"Now do you see why I wanted you to come and get some idea of what we're up against?" I asked.

Four weak nods were my response.

"Akano," said Rias.

"Oh, this'll be good," I said as the girl began to move forwards, a creepy smile on her lips.

"Oh is it my turn?" she asked, "How exciting, I so love this game. Fufufu!"

I glanced around the room, making sure that there wasn't anything else sneaking up on us, when I noticed one of Visers severed arms twitch, before launching itself at Rias.

"Photon Lancer," I said as I fired a ball of energy at the arm, blowing it to bits.

Rias blinked and glanced at the arm.

"Huh, nice reflexes," she said.

I shot her a flat look.

"Yes yes, your very good," she said, "Akano, finish her off please."

The black haired beauty giggled demurely.

"I've got news for you," she said, "You're not the only one who likes to play rough around here. so whats say you and I have some fun?"

She raised her hands and yellow lightning began to generate between them.

"Akano is my Queen," said Rias, "Her attributes are a perfect combo of all the other pieces. shes simply unbeatable."

Riser glared up at the Queen from her place on the floor.

"Tough girl, still not ready to give up?" asked Akano, "Goody, I get to play some more!"

She raised her hands and unleashed a massive bolt of yellow lightning that shocked the Stray.

"Her weapon is a dark magical power," said Rias by explanation, "And thats not all…"

"All this violence, its making me so hot," said Akano, a light blush on her face as she ran her tongue over her lips.

"...shes really into S&M," finished Rias as Akano continued to shock the Stray, giggling madly.

"Is this as good for you as it is for me?" asked Akano over the sounds of lightning and screaming.

"You mean she gets off on this?" asked Alec, looking like he'd rather not be thinking about it.

Judging by Lisas expression, her power was feeding her information about the Priestess of Thunders…'interests', but what really worried me was that Aisha looked rather interested. I really hope it was the lightning magic and not the BDSM thing.

I just shuddered, not even wanting to get into that.

"Akano, I think shes had enough," said Rias, prompting her Queen to let up and allow the Stray to fall to the floor, steaming lightly.

"Aw, over already?" asked Akano, "And I was just starting to enjoy myself."

I shivered again,

Rias walked over to the groaning form of the Stray.

"Any last words before we end this?" asked the King.

"Go to hell," snarled Viser as an answer.

"Alright, lets get this over with," said Rias, spreading her arms as a red magic circle appeared in front of her, "Game over."

With a flash of red, Viser was completely annihilated, leaving nothing but a scorched stretch of floor.

"We're done here."

Rias turned to us and smiled.

"Lets go home."

"Sounds good to me."


"That...that was brutal," said Brain.

We were all back at the base, with the former Undersiders sitting around the table looking rather shaken.

"And you want us to fight those things?" asked Alec.

"Not right now, no," I said, "Trust me, you're a ways from taking on Strays. However, I didn't take you there to show you how outmatched you are, but rather to give you the incentive to train your arse of and become as strong as you can be. As Humans, we can never truly match the other Races in a physical fight, but we don't have to."

I waved a hand at the weapons they all had in front of them.

"Those are Legendary weapons, forged to give Heroes the ability to defeat monsters, Aisha and I possess literal gifts from the God of the Bible and we have an entire library of magic and access to the resources of Asgard. Humans CAN match the Supernatural, it just takes time and effort. If you put that effort in, well, then you'll be able to fight on the level of Gods."

I placed my hands on the table and leaned forwards.

"Of course, I won't force you," I said, "If you want, you can leave. Odin will give you what you need and you can go back to your life, forgetting all about this world of Monsters and Gods. Think about it and decide. For now, I'm going to bed."

I left the meeting room, leaving the former Undersiders to their thoughts.

And there we go, done. That was...interesting to write to say the least. Fun though.

I...have no idea why Elles like that. However, she reminds me so much of Luna I couldn't resist. This is supposed to be making the world of Worm more pleasant, so why not take a scared little girl and give her the ability to see the world like nobody else can?

Hey, its Freed! I know hes not really the type to kill people at random, but...no, he totally is. If he thought they were in any way connected to Devils, he'd happily slaughter anyone he could get his blade on.

Yes, he does basically have a Device. No, I will not be adding Nanoha, although other Devices are a distinct possibility. Currently, I'm toying with the idea of giving someone the Tome of the Nights Sky, complete with Knights and Reinforce. My current candidate is Dinah. I probably won't though.

Sams Promotion spell is basically just a temporary buff that grants him the attribute of an Evil Piece for a short time.

Zwei is NOT dead and will be back in no time.

I originally planned to make Kayden a Bishop, but then I thought I might as well turn her into what amounts to an Alexandria package. Now I have an idea for a scene where Kaiser has one of his goons take a shot at Purity, only for it to bounce of her.

Anyway, thats done. Next time, Taylor joins and possibly more ecchi stuff. Until then, don't forget to leave a review!
