ESKK: Hey guys guess what new chapter. Yeap I started the new chapter and heads up this chapter may or may not be shorter than the others since it involves as a bit of a filler. Anyway please enjoy this chapter and remember a good review keeps the blocks away.
(Start)
Issei was sitting in his office as today the ORC was hosting their club meeting in Issei's office as it seems things were kind of tense. Issei saw it and so did Rias as it appear the Devils of the group were weary of the Nephilim which was understandable since Nephilim have the power to slay Gods and all that. "It was late as Rias had to walk with Asia and Aika to perform contracts as last night the trio had to deal with a shy little girl who launched and arrow at her love interest.
Issei had saw the whole thing and told Rias she would make an awesome mom one day if she can help a girl in her teens find the courage to ask a boy out. Issei of course failed to notice the Blush on her face as he walked away be it from a mental image or possible feelings Issei didn't really know. As Issei sat on his desk he soon saw the portal at the far end of the room open as from it Rodin came in as he headed over to Issei.
"Hey Rodin what's up?" Issei asked as he plopped his feet on the desk.
"Nah just business as usual which reminds me I got word from Irina she has new information on THAT Sword so she sent a certain messenger over to deliver you the details." Rodin said as Rias looked.
"Who's Irina?" Rias asked as Katase and Murayama grumbled as Issei smirked.
"She's my childhood friend and the first person who discovered my mixed origins and accepted me. Sure she's a devoted follower of God and all but she saw that my parents loved each other enough to have me and next thing I know I recruited her as the first member of my brood, my first Sword Master." Issei said as he looked to a magazine and began reading it.
"Wait if Issei-san already has both of his Sword Master Positions filled then why isn't, she here?" Asia asked as Rodin smirked.
"Right now Irina is deep under cover in the Vatican, see a couple of years ago after Issei's mom Eva was offed something of great importance was stolen from her grave and Issei here knows the Church has it." Rodin said as Akeno looked.
"How can you tell?" Akeno asked before Issei growled and slammed the Magazine to the desk.
"Because those bastards are trying to make cheap mass produced knock offs of it." Issei said as he had the displeasure of facing one such knock off when he had to fight his way through Exorcists who thought he was a Devil through and through. Needless to say he wasn't very fond of the Vatican for trying to recreate the very blade that his mother had wielded. Issei had to get that sword back and return it to where it belonged in the hands of family members. The fact the Vatican had the balls to defile and tarnish his mother's final resting place for her sword left Issei very peeved at the mere thought of it.
Kiba had a feeling he shared Issei's sentiments on the Vatican just not aware of what it was. Kiba knew Issei was a First Generation Nephilim which means unless another Devil Angel couple pops out who had spawned a daughter Issei will basically have to rely on Rias and the Brood to act as his Eve's once they become powerful enough to gain their own broods.
"Well anyway Issei here will need to take the day off to receive the message so I'll see you all later." Rodin said as he left back to the Gates of Hell as Issei smirked.
"Well then ladies and one sole guy in a sea of girls I'll catch you all later." Issei said as Rias understood that. "Oh and ladies of my brood try getting Asia a Familiar and Rias a new one she's going to need a better familiar for her Status as a Nephilim." Issei called as Murayama and Katase nodded.
"Got it boss!" Katase called as they two groups left to Kouh Academy as they had check out some club room things because the talk of the Vatican left their new hangout a bit ice cold. Once they were out Issei looked at the far corner of his office where an old space was still set up as it had a food and water bowl as well as a cushion for a specific old buddy of Issei who he had since his childhood.
"I wonder if Hades will cause some mischief for everyone again." Issei said as he remembered his father's gift for him from his childhood such innocent days unaware of the danger he was in.
(Kouh Academy Old Classroom Building HQ 1 of the ORC)
The group arrived in the building as Rias had to ask now more than ever. "Ok I get Asia needed a Familiar but I didn't expect that I would need a new familiar, in fact I didn't even realize I could still summon my old one." Rias said as she remembered her familiar who she used to try and recruit Issei which ended up with her stabbed in the chest.
"Well you're in the service of House Sparda and House Eva so you need a better Familiar to look the part." Katase said as Rias was confused.
"See Eva in Paradiso before she went traitor was a very renowned and high up Angel as her House was also proof of that, she was even Gods right hand woman above even that of Gabriel and many of his Arch Angels. Sparda was Mundus' general but you should know the infamy and the vast fortune Sparda has in Inferno, now tie those in together and we have a lot of appearances we need to make mainly for formalities." Murayama explained as Rias got it.
"Oh." Rias said as Murayama nodded.
"Now show us you're Familiar Rias." Katase said as Rias nodded before every one of the Gremory Peerage presented their Familiars. Rias had a bat, Akeno had an imp, and Koneko had a cat.
"Ok this is underwhelming." Murayama said as Katase walked over to Koneko and smiled.
"Well do you guys want to see my Familiars?" Katase asked as Murayama was now smirking.
"Sure." Koneko said as she petted her cat Shiro.
"Alright you asked for it." Katase said before she raised her hand to the wall before three portals open as from the blue portal a blue cat like creature appeared as it let out a tiger sound before from the two red Portals a similar creatures appeared as one was red while the other was just plain black with red eyes. This of course shocked everyone as Katase smirked. "Ladies meet my familiars, the Rage Trio little miss lazy in the middle is Koyumi." Katase said as she pointed to the Black Hell Rage who was sleeping.
"The twins are Ruby and Sapphire." Katase pointing to the Blood Rage and the Ghost Rage as they were trying to get one over the other as they knocked things down like fighting cats.
"Now then rookies meet my Familiar!" Murayama said as she raised her hand skyward to reveal a statue as this was very… anticlimactic. At least it was until the statue began producing blood with the sun setting as from it the statue turned into a bird comprised of Blood as it perched upon Murayama's waiting arm as it cleaned its wing. "This beauty is Grypha she's actually quite tender once you get to know her." Murayama said as Akeno attempted to approach but Grypha cawed at her telling her to back off which Akeno did. "I did say ONCE you get to know her." Murayama said as Katase smiled a bit.
"Now even though we're trying to rebuild the Nephilim Faction Familiars are still a major part in supernatural society and can be a big help." Katase said as Asia was unsure.
"But I have no clue where to get a Familiar." Asia said as Katase smiled.
"Well that's the best part of this." Katase said before Aika popped out of the closet surprising everyone.
"Oh do tell." Aika said surprising everyone with her sudden appearance after they lost her somewhere in the school.
"GAUH!?" Everyone called to as Issei's Trickster has made her appearance.
"How did you?" Rias asked as Aika smiled before come out of the closet. "By the way we got company on the way apparently Ms. Sitri has been hearing rumors of House Sparda's missing heir making a return." Aika said as she came out.
It was soon that there was a knock on the door as Rias looked and smiled. "I got it!" Aika called as she opened the door and let the lady and her peerage in. "Welcome to HQ Gremory the boss isn't in at the moment but his second in command will be able to talk to you." Aika said as Sona entered the room.
"Well Rias seems the rumors are true you've found a Son of Sparda." Sona said as Aika smiled and stood with Asia. "Seems the rumors are true now that you identified him I Can now figure out his smell, half of it is from Sparda." Sona said as Asia looked.
"Who are they?" Asia asked as Aika looked.
"That's Sona she's the Student Body President and with her is her vice president." Aika explained as Asia got it.
"So Rias where is the man of the hour, the infamous Son of Sparda, I have a few choice words for him after the stunts he pulled since her enrolled here and since he stole many of my own contracts." Sona said as Rias sighed.
"If you have any problems with him put it through me, I promised you an explanation and I shall provide it." Rias said as Aika then spoke.
"Basically Issei is a Nephilim and a Son of both Sparda and Eva before he recruited me, Asia, and Rias-sempai into his brood turning us into Nephilim." Aika said as Rias face palmed herself as she was going to explain that.
"Wait have you actually gotten desperate enough to join another Faction to get away from Rizer?" Sona asked losing her cool a bit as Rias sighed.
"No simply put I had no choice I was dying to a misfired arrow of light and he saved my life, as of now to the Nephilim I am a Queen called the Dark Slayer which means as of now I'm a low ranking Nephilim." Rias sad as Sona rubbed her eyes.
"You do realize this will come back and bite us in the ass when the rest of Inferno both Anti Sparda and Pro Sparda factions will be in an uproar when this gets out right?" Sona asked as they knew this could become a major problem. "Plus if his mother is who I think it is then Issei may be even more powerful than the Mou's and has connections in both Inferno and Paradiso." Sona said as she heard of Eva and the fact that Eva had been the leader of Paradiso's armies at one point made Sona afraid to cross Issei at any point due to being the son of two insanely powerful being add his Boosted Longinus Gear Sona knew Issei may very well be on par with Chaos God Aesier.
"So what brings you over exactly Sona? Because if it's to kick me out of Kouh I can assure you I still have the right to be here as I still have my Evil Pieces and my Peerage ensuring I am still the King of my Peerage." Rias said as it was a joking matter there but also hid a sense of defense that if Sona is here for that she will fight for her right to be here be it in political field or the battle field.
"Anyway I guess I should introduce you to the other Nephilim in the room, this is Asia Argenteno Issei's Quick Silver." Rias said gesturing to Asia.
"Hello there." Asia said as she smiled.
"This is Aika the School female student body's resident pervert who seems to have a very rare Sacred Gear that can only be truly utilize by a Nephilim at least according to Rodin." Rias said as Aika adjusted her glasses.
"You are about 3 inches." Aika said to the boy of Sona's group.
"Ok I like her." He said as no doubt Issei's friends would have hit it off with her, if she was into other girls.
"These two are Katase and Murayama Issei's Royal Guard and Sword Master respectively." Rias said as she gestured to the two who were with their Familiars. "Issei has one more Sword Master in his Brood but she's currently away on business deep under cover so she's not hear with us for now." Rias said as if this Irina was still searching for that stolen item then no doubt it was of great sentimental meaning and a powerful weapon to Issei.
If Rias had to take a gander Issei must have buried this item with Eva no doubt protect it for a while since Eva didn't have the same method as Sparda to seal the Doors to Paradiso down in deep Europe. As Sona saw them she chuckled as she saw this small group. "Seems that the rumors were true in some aspect Issei is a pervert if he's only recruited girls to his Brood." Sona said as Rias couldn't help but agree but took great offense to that.
"Anyway you do realize that since Issei is a son of Sparda he will have to take his father's fortune in Inferno since he is currently the next of kin after House Sparda was wiped out during the Great War save for Sparda himself." Sona said as that shocked many considering House Sparda was a legendary House due to the fact it spawned Inferno's greatest of warriors in one form or another. In fact the one who holds the title of House Head is named Sparda while his old name is discarded until death. Some even consider House Sparda to be among the first Devil Households in Inferno and in turn one of the most powerful of houses in existence.
"Anyway we're planning on getting these three some Familiars since Aika seems to have progress faster than Rias did as a Trickster as the girl was able to utilize some of her 'Gifts,' to get requests done faster." Murayama said as Aika smiled.
"I had a great teacher in Nevan." Aika said as the two really hit it off that Nevan was actually providing Aika her houses full support in most endeavors.
"Yes I believe the plan was to go next week if I'm not mistaken." Rias said as Aika was shocked.
"Oh is that so?" Sona asked as this was a problem. "That will be a problem for me since I was hoping to get a familiar for Saji here as well." Sona said as she did want to see what type of Familiar a Nephilim can snag.
"Oh then how about a friendly competition, since Issei has important things to take care of I was left in charge of his Brood being as I'm the equivalent to a Queen and have more experience in leading." Rias said as Sona squinted her eyes accusingly as that sounded like a challenge.
"I don't suppose you mean a rating game do you?" Sona asked as Rias chuckled.
"No of course not we'd never get approval for that, plus Issei is trying to keep his Brood in the shadows for a bit longer but since I'm from the Gremory household we can't really participate until we have to." Rias said as from that book she now knew was the Nephilim Codex the Original Nephilim kept the balance between the Trinity and preserved peace and harmony.
"Ok then how about we settle this the old fashion way tomorrow with a good game of sports." Rias said as tomorrow was a school day but it could be done after school.
(Scene Break the next day)
Issei was passing by the tennis court as he heard his classmates talking about the Student Council and the Queens of Kouh Academy going up against each other as Issei chuckled. "Man what a bunch of idiots." Issei said as Murayama and Katase were behind him. "So the plan is cool in case HE shows up." Issei said as he wasn't referring to a target but his messenger.
"Yeap our little sports day may very well become a hunt day." Katase chuckled as she knew this was a perfect team bonding exercise.
"Ok then we'll I'll see you all at the finish line then." Issei said as clearly he had something up his sleeve.
(Scene Break Tennis Court)
The Students were cheering on both sides as both Rias and Akeno were in their Tennis outfits as with Sona and her VP. "Remember Akeno we're in it to win it." Rias said as Akeno nodded.
"Got it, no mercy!" Akeno called as she was ready.
"Everyone ready, good." Rias said as she held the tennis ball.
"May the best Devil, no may the best Supernatural being win." Sona said as a bit of a taunt as Rias wasn't exactly a full Devil anymore.
Rias then began her serve as she hit the tennis ball, but when she did the ball vanished before it made it over the net as that confused everyone. "What happened to the ball?" Rias asked as Asia saw this with Murayama on the referee seat.
"Did you serve it Rias?" Akeno asked as Rias looked.
"Of course I did and I'm pretty sure I didn't over serve it either." Rias said as everyone was confused.
"Ok let's try this again." Katase said as she passed the tennis ball to Rias as she then began her serve again. Once she served the ball a shadow of sorts flew to the ball and when it passed the ball was gone once more. "Ok something isn't right." Katase said as she gave a ball to Sona. "Sona you try serving this time." She said as Sona nodded and served the ball.
When Sona served the ball the same thing happened as it was apparent someone or something was grabbing the ball. Akeno then performed some magic to make the spectators walk away so they can investigate as this wasn't normal at all. Once they were gone Katase summoned her pack of Hell Rages as they began to search around.
"Ok you three search and expose." Katase said as the three cats began to hunt for the one causing this.
Soon they heard a chewing sound as they looked to the wood line from the fence as on the bench was a large dog chewing on the tennis balls like chew toys. As the first two balls were beyond salvation already as Rias was shocked.
"I think we found our culprit." Rias said as she used her magic to jump over the fence and head to the Dog which was not a dog as it had six eyes, large claws, and large fangs. Rias had walked over it to scare it off but how can a Nephilim exactly scare off a Hellhound who was growling at him and taking a battle stance to protect its chew toys.
"Guys step back it's a Hell Hound!" Katase called as she and Murayama stood defensively between the two.
The Hell Hound Growled before it jumped away as it then roared causing people to hear a beast as Katase sighed at this. "We can let that thing walk around freely." Rias said as she knew this Hell Hound needed to be caught and taken to a preserve or something and that is if it's not feral.
"I have to agree with Rias on this one, I suppose we should call off this little game for now." Sona said as Murayama smirked.
"Or we can change the game altogether and make it one huge game." Murayama said as Katase followed up.
"Ok then first group to catch that Hell Hound will get to go to the Familiar Forest." Katase said as everyone one could agree with that as thanks to Issei's Brood Rias get more members that even out the playing field for her.
"Hmm that does sound quiet interesting and that Hell Hound it's a pure bred and has prior training by the way it carried itself, whoever it belongs to may pay a handsome reward for its safe return." Sona said as this could very well help them if the owner is high up in the super natural world.
Rias smirked as a pure bred well trained Hell Hound was up for grabs and now everyone was on the hunt for it. "Ok then we all are in agreement we go after the Hell Hound and first group to catch it goes into the Familiar Forest." Rias said as that was in agreement.
"Ok then the game starts as soon as we change." Sona said Rias agreed on that.
(Scene Break one Wardrobe change later)
Koneko was holding close to Katase as they looked to the Hell Hound. All Katase had to do was say Hound and Koneko was practically clinging to Katase as the girl was holding onto her head. "You smell our stray Koneko?" Katase asked as Koneko glared.
"I hate dogs and you shouldn't have made me join on this." Koneko said as Katase sighed.
"Remember it's for Rias, Asia, and Aika." Katase said as Koneko sighed.
"Torts the part." Koneko said as Katase nodded and headed torts the part.
Once the duo arrived Katase saw the Hell Hound Digging a Hole as that was something a normal dog would do… except the Hold was the size of a large pit and seemed to be done. The Hell Hound Jumped out of the hole and grabbed what looked like a very large bone as the thing looked like it belonged to a dinosaur or very large stray as the Dog buried it with what looked like many more large Bones from strays. Once it was placed properly with the others in the pile the Dog began burying said bones once more as to Koneko's shock no one seemed to have noticed.
"Ok then on the count of three we jump it, one… two… THREE!" Katase called as they two charged at the Hell Hound who smelled them a mile away and jumped over them causing the two to land inside the put before said Hell Hound added the rest of the dirt as once the dust cleared the two were now faces in the ground.
"I blame you." Koneko said as she was in a similar situation.
"This better not be some Hentai in the making." Katase said as she had her fair share of shit like that to deal with.
(With Aika and Asia)
Aika got off the phone as she looked to Asia. "Ok bad news Koneko and Katase are out but seems Sitri isn't having as much luck as us either." Aika said as she pulled out a bottle as they were in their school uniform. "Now luckily for you thanks to Nevan I have here a bottle filled with a special attracting scent that will draw our Hell Hound right to us as this is a bottle filled with the scent of a Bitch in heat." Aika said as Asia had a bad feeling about this.
"Um don't you think that will also attract other dogs in the area?" Asia asked as that made her worried.
"Oh don't worry as long as we don't spill it on ourselves we should be good." Aika said as Asia was nervous about this scheme.
"But why does hearing that from you make me even more nervous?" Asia asked as Aika smirked.
"Because you don't know me that well yet." Aika said as she went for the jar. "Now then Open Sesame." Aika said as she twisted the top and opened it releasing the scent as the two began to walk.
That was a big mistake as when they did it wasn't even a full five minutes till they had every dog in the area on them panting looking for the scent they smelled. Oddly enough even the Cerberus Trio were there as even though they were Devils they were still K9 like Devils.
"Oh crap…" Aika said as Asia was didn't see the Hell Hound anywhere.
Soon the Hell Hound came from behind Aika and ran through her legs knocking her down as the jars contents spilled on her as she was now covered in it. Aika looked at herself as was wide eyed at this as she had to run for it NOW. "Oh no." Aika said as Asia already ran away as she had already seen to dogs mate in her home town to know where this was going.
"Asia you traitor!" Aika called as Aika tried to escape as it wasn't long till she was pounced as she screamed but was fortunate her panties were on.
(With Murayama and Kiba)
Murayama and Kiba were sitting on the bench as they stood right in front of a Pizza parlor as it was the one Issei usually ordered from as Kiba was confused. "Uh Murayama why are we here?" Kiba asked as Murayama smirked.
"Just wait a minute I have a bit of a hunch." Murayama said as they waited. It wasn't long till the Hell Hound appeared as Kiba caught sight of a bag on its bag as it looked like one a person would put a pizza in for delivery while keeping said bag warm. As the Hell Hound walked in Kiba was ready to jump in but heard no screaming of panic. In fact Kiba focused his hearing as he could hear what was going on a bit.
"Hey boss that creepy dog is here again! Is the pick-up ready?" And Employee called as said boss laughed hearty like.
"Don't worry here it is a large Pizza with everything but Pineapples and olives, and a large 6 cheese pizza with Bacon, Sausage, ham, and no olives with a two liter drink." The boss said as both Kiba and Murayama heard the bag open a bit and closed once more as they soon heard the cash register go off from a successful sale. "Ok you loyal little dog make sure your owner gets that Pizza soon." The Pizza Shop Owner said as it may mean the Hell Hound was off goofing around while doing some call Kiba Crazy errands.
The Hell Hound then left with a bag in its mouth no doubt with the drink and picked up speed a bit as Kiba was shocked. "So that's your plan tail the Hell Hound until we can see where it's going and snag it there." Kiba said as Murayama smiled.
"Of course." Murayama said as they soon ran to find Sona and Saji hanging upside down by Saji's Sacred Gear and Sona's attempt at a trap. "Let me guess Hell Hound outsmarted you?" Murayama asked as the two nodded.
"Don't worry three of my brood mates and one of Rias' peerage members also got outsmarted… so cya." Murayama said before she and Kiba ran off as Saji sent curses at them for leaving them hanging their literally.
(With Rias and Akeno)
Rias and Akeno were able to track this Hell Hound to what looked like an ice cream parlor as they got a text from Murayama and Kiba about their shared quarry. They saw the Hell Hound enter the shop as they looked through the window as the owner saw the Hell Hound and sighed before it went over to a fridge and pulled out a Strawberry Sundae before placing said sundae in a special container so in case the hell hound ran into trouble it wouldn't be damaged as once it was inside the man gave the container to the waiting Hell Hound who bit down on the container by its strap after dropping the money onto the counter.
Rias and Akeno quickly hid as the Hell Hound exited the parlor as Rias and Akeno was shocked. "Is that dog… running errands?" Akeno asked as even she was shocked.
"Whoever trained it to do this, the guy is probably a fucking genius or someone who instils that kind of well-earned loyalty." Rias said as she was surprised by all of this.
"Then lets follow it!" came Murayama's voice as she and Kiba passed by them.
"Right." Rias called as she and Akeno gave chase as well.
(Later that afternoon)
The Brood and Peerage were wide eyed as Aika had caught up after Asia came back for her, while Katase and Koneko were covered in dirt. Murayama and Katase weren't really shocked as Rias was especially shocked and quite frankly a bit pissed off with the three senior Brood Members.
"If that Hound is Issei's I'm shooting him in the head with my destruction power added." Rias said as clearly she was very unhappy.
"I'm sure it's just a coincidence." Asia said as she knew Issei must have some reason for not telling them about the Hell Hound.
"Just hurry those Dogs are lucky Asia came back for me with help." Aika said as she was grateful for getting the scent washed in about 5 tubs of water.
The group entered their second club house and found Issei had taken the Pizza Boxes and Sundae from the Hell Hound as the dog was licking his face as Issei laughed. "Oh good boy, good boy you never fail to do errands and deliver messages, and the fact you hunt Strays with me you are a Nephilims best friend Hades." Issei said as everyone was wide eyed as Rias was pulling out Elven Night while her eyes glowed red clearly pissed off.
Asia, Murayama, and Katase were trying to defuse the situation as Rias, Aika, and Koneko looked ready to murder Issei last Nephilim be damned. "Ok ladies just get it out of the way." Issei said as soon he received a very powerful punch to the face and the gut before it was topped off with a shot to the head which Issei was knocked to his desk… hard.
"Ok I might feel that in the morning." Issei said as he got up and took the bullet out of his head as the injury heal instantly. Thank you healing factor for being the thing the saves his life and makes him reckless as hell.
"Any particular reason why you never mentioned your Familiar was a Hell Hound!" Rias yelled as she and her peerage had spent the entire day hunting a Hell Hound that was basically Issei's to begin with.
"You guys never asked for starters, second he never I only recently heard about your competition to the Familiar Forest, and three is about to walk in." Issei said and on cue the Sitri Peerage ran in looking at the group as Issei was petting his Hell Hound once more as Hades licked his master back.
"Wait that Hell Hound was yours!?" Sona called out as she and her Peerage looked like they had better days.
"Yeah and next time you guys want to use Hades here for a contest let me know ok." Issei said as Sona was shocked at this. "Though since Rias and her group technically caught Hades by that logic they win your contest am I right?" Issei asked as that surprised Sona.
"Wait you're the Son of Sparda correct?" Sona asked as Issei smirked as Issei looked.
"Yeah I suppose I am what want to bring me to Inferno to claim my fortune?" Issei asked as he looked to Sona.
"Uh Lord Sparda I understand that you are also Nephilim whose mother was the head of House Eva as well correct?" Sona said as she knew Issei as Sparda's son was very much a noble of the highest caliber in Inferno.
"Yeah just get to the point." Issei said as Sona looked.
"Well I will inform you now that there will be those in both Inferno and Paradiso who will question which side you will take in the event the cease fire ever comes to an end." Sona said as Issei chuckled.
"Yeah I won't take any sides but I won't let that war go off either, don't care if I'm on my own but you guys already fucked up the Trinity with the last War another one would screw us over and Fuck us up beyond all recognition." Issei said as Sona nodded in defeat knowing how Inferno's own stubbornness caused so much harm.
"Yes well Rias and her Peerage as well as your Brood have won this contest I suppose Saji here will have to wait a month for his familiar." Sona said as Issei snickered at Saji.
"Yeah tough luck oh and next time you try and think of flirting with Asia… I'll shoot your crotch." Issei warned as Saji was wide eyed as he covered his junk in fear. "So see you all later and Sona." Issei began as Sona looked.
"Don't worry about the Phenex Family they should be more scared of me since according to historical text their precious Immortal Flame was no match for the wrath of a Nephilim." Issei warned as Sona got the just of it, if Rizer tries to one up Issei's position as the head of the Sparda Family and the Head of the Eva Family as well as Rias Gremory's master he would bring the full force of two households onto the Phenex family from Paradiso and Inferno and one word from Rias now do to her service under both houses as well as the new Nephilim House they may very well bring the Gremory down upon the Phenex as well as Serzech Lucifer since the Gremory's were known supporters and allies of House Sparda.
"Well then people get cleaned up because honestly you four reek." Issei said pointing to Asia, Koneko, Aika, and Katase.
"Shut up Issei." Katase growled as Asia blushed.
As of late Asia had been staying over at Issei's home as she had to deal with the oddest of beings who come into the Hyoudou household looking for sanctuary. It really surprised Asia at times when she saw Fallen Angels and a few Devils enter the place and never come out from a random hall. Though Asia knew Issei and his mother were good people since Nevan and Cerberus always visited as well as Maria and a few other old friends of Issei's birth parents.
"Anyway we better get ready for our trip there it's a full moon tonight and if I'm right not only will the Familiar Master AKA Pokémon fetish rip off be there but also a close friend of my old man." Issei said as he got up.
"Um who?" Rias asked as Issei smirked.
"Madama Butterfly." Issei said simply as Rias was shocked as she didn't hear Asia asking why they had to go tonight and not some other night. Rias knew and had heard of Madama Butterfly but it was assumed she had died during the Great War. Sirzechs Queen and wife Grafeya claimed she was there when Madama Butterfly the head of House Butterfly was struck down ending her household's bloodline. During the dawning years of the Evil Piece System Madama Butterfly was Sparda's Queen and at the time was known as the Strongest Queen to the point she was the "Queen of Queen's."
Rias had heard Grafeya had trained under Madama Butterfly so to think that she was still alive and kicking would mean Grafeya isn't the Strongest Queen at the moment. Plus if she truly was the same Madama Butterfly then she is the head of the House Butterfly of the 72 pillars and no doubt any Queen like Akeno and possibly a Dark Slayer like Rias can learn a whole lot of things from such a well-known, experienced veteran like Madama Butterfly.
"Well then Rias if you're done day dreaming get ready for tonight we have to get you ladies some familiars." Issei said as this might become a bit difficult if miss done.
(Scene Break that night Hyoudou Household)
The Brood and Peerage were gathered as Issei saw everyone was present as Asia was nervous. Issei had them come over so they can have dinner some drinks and head out on full stomachs… plus Issei wanted to have a little fun with Akeno, Kiba, and Koneko and well they'll find out once they port with Rias.
As everyone finished their meals Hades was their eating his own food which looked to be Stray Devil meat as the Hell Hound at the food bones and all as it appeared the bones were good for his teeth.
"Now that we've eaten mind opening us the path, Rias, we don't have all night you know." Issei said as he got his gear ready.
"Y-yea sure." Rias said as she shouldn't be surprised really now that she had all day to think about it. Issei was Sparda's son and no doubt had to learn how to fight from somewhere. Rias then opened the portal as the brood and peerage stood on it as Hades went to his dog house to rest after such a long trip as the message stated Irina wasn't going to be able to send messages for a while so Hades would be needed there for now and if she has a message she would send her own Familiar.
"Ok then here we go!" Issei called as Aika smiled.
"Alright let's go!" Aika called as she was happy to be seeing some action and get her familiar.
"Hey don't burn yourself out." Issei said as he and Rias stood side by side as the ported.
(Scene Break Familiar Forest)
The group appeared in a magical symbol as the Devils of the group held back some vomit as since Rias was using the Nephilim teleportation she had to utilize some of her new Angelic magic and looks like it gave Koneko, Akeno, and Kiba some case of nausea. "Walk it off you three can't have you three me light weights." Issei said as he saw Akeno take it better than the other two which was odd in his opinion.
"Fuck you." Koneko said as she hissed as Issei who waved her off walked forward looking around a bit.
"Hey Madama Butterfly you out here, you said you would meet us here!" Issei called as he looked for Madama Butterfly who did not reply. "Come on Auntie you're really going to leave your favorite Nephew hanging, maybe I should call up Nevan I'm sure she can give a more informative help with finding a Familiar for my new Brood Members!" Issei called knowing of his surrogate aunts little rivalry with Nevan.
It was soon that a flurry of Butterflies appeared as everyone freaked out but Issei, Katase, and Murayama were calm about it as Rias saw this before the Butterflies gathered and formed a woman with long black hair, red eyes with red lipstick, pale skin, butterfly designed ear rings, and her dress was a flowing black dress with black silk gloves and even black heels as she smiled at Issei.
"It's been to long Issei-sama." The woman said as Issei smiled.
"Madama it's been a while." Issei said as Rias was surprised as she saw The Toji was missing.
"Hey where's the Familiar Master?" Rias asked as Madama smiled.
"Last time Issei-sama was here I had to restrain him from killing Pokémon Trainer knock off." Madama said before she sighed. "So I had no other choice but to send him to an early trip as I cover this full moon tonight, now let me get a good look at you three." Madama said as she looked at Rias, Akeno, and Aika as Madama chuckled.
"Oh my, that girl with the glasses she's the Unified Dragon Emperor or in this case Unified Dragon Empress. Give her some time Issei-sama and she may be able to give you a run for your money." Madama said as Aika smiled.
"Hopefully he'll give me a run for my money in the sack." Aika said as Issei laughed at this.
Madama then turned to Asia and smiled at her already seeing something she likes. "A deep pure kindness to aid friends and enemies such an innocent soul with a kindness to aid all. It's no wonder that Devil bound himself to you as your Devil Weapon." Madama said as Asia blushed at this.
"Um thank you Madama." Asia said showing her appreciation for the praise.
Madama then went to Rias and looked deep into her as Rias felt uncomfortable as Madama then laughed. "It seems you may have been born as the wrong race, something in you just screams to me that you were always meant to be a Nephilim and now it has happened but the person you were raised as still believed herself a Devil." Madama Butterfly said as she smiled. "But all in all good choices in recruits Issei-sama no doubt with time and effort you will become a powerful Nephilim even more so then your parents Sparda-sama and Eva-sama." Madama Butterfly said as Issei nodded.
"That's the plan." Issei said as Madama nodded before smirking.
"By the way I expect you girls to make Sparda-sama and Eva-sama grandparents and me a grand aunt before the years end." Madama Butterfly said causing the three new Nephilim girls to nearly face fault as Issei smirked.
"Don't mind her she did that to Murayama and Katase when they first joined." Issei's aid as the two pulled in.
"It's true." Murayama said as Katase nodded before pulling out into the group.
"Now then let's start finding you three some Familiars and to start off we'll go for a Nephilim Classic a Dragon." Madama said as Rias and her peerage were surprised as Madama Butterfly went for the big guns right off the bat.
"Wait, why is a Dragon a Nephilim Classic for a Familiar?" Kiba asked as he was worried about that.
"In ancient times the Nephilim and Dragons were close allies and the best of friends for their powers were equal to each other. According to Historical Text many young Nephilim travel to the Dragon Mountains to undergo rigorous training to be on par with the other factions. Even then the Dragons saw the power of the Nephilim and even gave them some of their power to create the Brood Shards, it would be no surprise if you three can make a full grown Dragon your Familiar." Madama said as Rias was shocked as was Asia and Aika. They never knew they were reincarnated to a faction that had earned the Dragons respect and loyalty.
"Yeah though it's hard to come by those guys a lot here." Issei said as they walked through the forest. "Though I'm happy with what I got for now." Issei said referring to Hades as he walked through the forest.
"Of course Issei-sama though personally I'd avoid the Water Sprites the buff and ugly male like ones are the ones that normally appear before strong individuals." Madama said as she led the group through the forest.
"Don't have to tell me twice." Issei said as he had a bad experience with that steroid addict Sprite. Long story short Issei avoided that place at all costs unless he was sure an actual babe would pop out.
"Well then come along." Madama said as Akeno and Rias were close to squealing at the fact of being in the presence of such a well-known Devil who served as Sparda's Queen.
As they walked Issei yawned a bit as they disregarded the spring mainly because Issei still had nightmares from that man woman water sprite. Of course when he brought Irina here for her Familiar she got lucky with the sexy hot one with see through cloths. Seriously why does he get the shit luck while his own Brood gets better luck then him?
As they walked Issei looked around wondering where the good familiars were as he wanted his brood to have the best they can get their hands on so people know not to mess with them. "Wait a minute…" Issei began as he realized something. His pervert/ladies' man senses were tingling as he looked around as this place looked oddly familiar.
"Hey look over there!" Came Katase as Issei looked and saw where she was pointing and saw a small blue dragon as Issei knew its breed.
"No way is that a, Blue Dragon Sprite?" Akeno asked as she saw it.
"Sure looks like it to me Akeno." Issei said with a smirk as he saw it.
"Oh it's so adorable." Asia said as Madama smirked.
"Of course but if you want it as your familiar then the time is now once it gets bigger it becomes impossible to tame for anyone other than a Nephilim." Madama said as she smiled. "Be careful though you three when its angry they shoot blue lightning so approach with caution." She said as the head of the Butterfly Family was very cautious about this creature.
"This is my first time seeing such a creature though they are really rare." Rias said as Katase then turned to Aika.
"Well Aika since you are not officially the Unified Dragon Empress it's only fair you get a Dragon." Katase said as Aika smiled at this.
Issei looked around some more as he swore he had been in this area before but just couldn't remember where exactly. "Ok then Blue I choose you!" Aika called before a gasped was heard as Issei was wide eyed.
"Ok its coming back to me." Issei said as he knew this place was the home to some Familiar. "SLIMY YOU'RE BACK!" Issei called with joy as to the Peerage shock slime was falling down upon Rias, Asia, Akeno, and Koneko with the added of Aika and the two veteran Brood Members.
"Um Issei that isn't slimy." Madama said as she looked to the pink slime that was landing on the girls.
"Oh my." Rias said as she saw the slime land on her body while Akeno seemed to be happy about this.
"What the, why is a Pink Slime here?!" Kiba asked as he slashed around but oddly enough the Pink slime landed on his face before surrounding it as if trying to keep him from interfering.
"It's burning my cloths! How naughty!" Akeno teased as the pink slime seem to not like being called an, it by Akeno before it began to move around her body before it went to her crotch area causing Akeno to gasp as the burning feeling was hitting her crotch area. "This thing is making me all slimy and wet." Akeno gasped as her clothing was being burnt off. The Slime responded again as Akeno called it an a thing which clearly it must identify itself as a gender as it then spread to Akeno's breasts before burning them at point blank as Akeno gasped loudly as the slime was molesting her specifically like she had pissed it off.
"Fuck why do I have to put up with this again?!" Murayama roared as she tried to get the slime off of her.
"You're telling me!" Katase said as she forced the slime off her body.
"Oh no." Rias called out as she was being stripped of her cloths as the Slime burned it off.
"My skirt!" Asia called as she tried to cover herself out.
"My; it seems the Slime like to burn other people's clothing another useless Slime if you ask me." Madama said as the Slime seemed to have heard this before charging at Madama at full force leaving the girls barely in their underwear as it appeared it was easily offended as it charged at Madama Butterfly. Madama smirked as she was about to summon her magic seal but the Slime then spread out and avoided it as it went after Madama who then sprouted butterfly wings and avoided the attack.
"I am not useless!" The Slime roared as everyone was shocked as by the sound of it the slime was a she.
"Wait what?!" Rias asked as her she tried to cover herself up but luckily her hair from her Nephilim power spread across her body giving her that dominatrix like suit once more.
The Slime then began to form to a young girl with crosses in her eyes, pink hair of slime that covered her breasts, practically see through cloths as he glared at them while her head had bunny ears on them. (Think Melona from Queen's Blade)
"I am not like the others!" She yelled as Akeno and Koneko were wide eyed as they stopped trying to cover themselves in shock.
"Oh dear it seems we have a smarter Slime Girl, well then little miss do you have a name?" Madama asked as ironically the Slimes are normally useless but if they gain a certain sentience they are among the most versatile of fighters out there since they can form their body into any shape they need.
"SHUT UP SLUT!" The Slime girl roared as she charged at Madama Butterfly with a slime made whip as Issei stepped in and slashed through the whip with Rebellion.
"Look lady we're sorry about offending you or whatever we didn't know you were alive." Issei said as the girl glared at Akeno as the girl was practically naked at this point before huffing in a sort of tsunadere way.
"I see but you can't expect me to let HER get away with calling me a mindless beast!" She yelled pointing and accusing finger at Akeno.
"Well would a sorry cut it?" Akeno asked in a teasing manner as the girl glared at Akeno.
"Oh can she be my familiar! I know she's vermin in Inferno but the fact she's able to kick ass and change her form like this she is perfect!" Aika called as a versatile Familiar for a Versatile Nephilim a match made in chaos.
"And why would I be your familiar?" The Slime girl demanded unaware she left some of her slime on Asia.
"Simple really if you become my Familiar you'll have plenty of time to make Akeno's life miserable as payback for insulting you." Aika said as the slime girl was wide eyed at this before she gained a sinister grin with her eyes shining in a predatory way.
"Well then if that's the case you got yourself a protein assassin." The girl said with a smile as she was going to make Akeno's life a living Hell or in this case a living Limbo.
IT was soon Asia yelled as Issei looked and saw Asia still had slime on her as the slime girl was shocked. "Oh I forgot about her." She said before the slime girl yelped in pain as her slime bits were destroyed by a blue thunder as they all looked and saw the Dragon Sprite fly down and destroy the slime bits.
"You little pest!" The slime Girl yelled as that hurt very much.
"Easy there we can't go ape shit for no reason here." Issei said as he saw the Familiar fly to Asia and snuggle up to her.
"Well Sprite Dragons only attack if their loved ones are in danger and if he did that those two are meant to be." Madama said as she looked to the two. Madama then took out a pocket watch of sorts and sighed to that. "I'm afraid we are out of time for now everyone sorry Rias but we couldn't get you a familiar so for now Asia, Aika lets go get you contracted to your new familiars." Madama said as Rias looked to her.
"Wait Madama why did you fake your death?" Rias asked as Madama sighed.
"Sparda-sama asked each of us to so the factions won't hunt us down and we can protect Issei-sama and Kiske-sama better." Madama said as she then looked to Rias. "But don't worry we'll be able to meet and I will be the one to personally train you on how to fight with some help from the Queen of Eva's Brave Saints." Madama said as Rias smiled and nodded to that.
"Alright thank you." Rias said as she heard that if one has earned apprenticeship under someone like Madama Butterfly they are on their way to being the Strongest of their style.
(Scene Break after they bound the two beings as Familiars)
The group had arrived back at the Den as Issei stretched a bit no doubt a bit tired after such a long day that he had no part of as he looked around. "Ok then ladies time to head home, Murayama Katase don't know whose house you're staying in tonight but just be sure to give me a heads up before you arrive since Asia is currently living with me and all that." Issei said as he stretched a bit.
"Got it boss." Katase said as he then looked to Aika.
"Aika we'll get to a hunt pretty soon but for now just go home rest and try and summon your Sacred Gear at will." Issei said as Aika nodded.
"Got it." Aika said but Issei continued.
"Oh and I asked Nevan to correspond with you for now she's taking quiet the liking to you so if you need her meet her at her Club in Red Light Kouh City ok." Issei said as Aika nodded. "Well ja ne." Issei said as he then began walking home as he yawned no doubt a bit tired himself.
"Well he's pretty laid back." Akeno said as Rias nodded.
"Yeah I suppose he is." Rias said as she smiled a bit. "But hopefully he can be my saving grace." Rias said as Rias knew Issei must know Phineas the Devil who has been holding the seat for House Sparda till the proper heir shows himself and reclaims his families' vast fortune and with it the considerable power it held. And seeing as Rias was a reborn Nephilim under the service of Issei and both House Sparda and House Eva Issei no doubt had multiple counters for practically every argument Rizer has to shoot and unless he wants to start a major fight he has no hopes of winning then they were pretty much in the clear.
"Let's head home then Akeno we are running out of time after all." Rias said as she walked away as she then hissed in pain for a bit as she grabbed her left eye as it seemed to give off an ever faint red glow.
"Are you ok Buchou?" Akeno asked as she looked to Rias.
"Yeah something may have, flown into my eye was all." Rias said as she moved her hand as the pain stopped.
"Oh ok then best we head home then." Akeno said as Rias nodded before the two left.
(Meanwhile With Rodin)
*Insert Bayonetta OST Gates of Hell
Rodin was serving a glass of wine as he made himself a martini as his current guest looked to him. "So everything going as you predicted Phineas?" Rodin asked as he had his Martini.
"Of course Rodin, I have already moved to having Issei take half of his families fortune down in Inferno and had contacted Michael and Gabriel in Paradiso to give Issei his half of Eva's fortune as well once they meet him. The other half of both shall be given to Kiske once he makes himself known." Phineas said as he drank his wine.
"So he really is here in Kouh City huh?" Rodin said as Phineas nodded.
"Yes for now we will need to get some of them a form of contact here in Chaos in the event that a Stray pops out outside their range of their contracts." Phineas said as Rodin nodded.
"Don't worry already have one for our little Gremory Nephilim, his name is Enzo owes me a shit tone of money so he shouldn't be hard to convince." Rodin said as Phineas understood.
"I myself had located another by the name of Norman an American looking to moving to Japan he shouldn't be hard to convince as well since this would allow him more access to money to allow him to travel more often." Phineas said as Rodin nodded.
"Well then to the future Nephilim Faction." Rodin said as the two toasted before taking a shot of alcohol.
(TBC)

The only reason you hate the reboot is because of the launch trailer for it, you are just a loyalist nostalgia fag who won't accept anything unless it's the original. Now then everyone please leave a review before you leave and as always Ja ne.
