Disclaimer: I do not own Godzilla or Highschool DxD!

Hello everybody! I hope you all are enjoying this story so far, because I'm feeling pretty proud of how it's going so far. I know some of you guys were probably disappointed when Tokugawa spared Raynare last chapter, but that was because I had received a PM from a reader who gave a reasonable argument for why and how she could join Tokugawa's harem, so I decided to just go with it since it sounded interesting; plus it was just to cause a little bit of a ripple effect in the DxD continuity. Now before we begin, I would like to take this time to answer a few questions and comments by reviewers just clarify some things. so here we go.

To All things Metal, I can understand why you would think Godzilla lending people his power doesn't seem right, but it's to show that Godzilla has gone through a character development since the Final Wars since he had been saved by humans when fighting Kaiser Ghidorah. He is still distrustful of humans and still dislikes most of them, but it's to show that it's because he has found someone who has gone through an almost identical situation that he did. So it is just to show that Godzilla is slowly growing from being an anti-hero to a full-on hero.

To the reviewer who asked who Moll and Lora are, Diji-Gojira was spot on. They are the Twin Priestesses from the Rebirth of Mothra Trilogy who speak for Mothra. So in other words, they are the Shobijin from the other Godzilla movies that featured Mothra.

Also, you may have noticed that Tokugawa's moves are based off of the Dragon Slayers from Fairy Tail. Yeah, that was intentional. I had a little trouble coming up with attack names that didn't sound like Dragon Slayer attacks, so I just decided to just go ahead with it. And as for those who commented on Asia's Kuoh Academy uniform being based off of Tokugawa's, it's actually just the uniform that she wears in Season 1 of Highschool DxD, but I can see how you made that connection.

Now finally, about Tokugawa's personality, he is a guy who while isn't entirely soft, he is morally good. (Go see Tokugawa's bio on my home page). He has seen what happens when an evil man isn't stopped and is let loose to continue his evil deeds, so he is determined to make sure that if he comes across anyone who is evil, remorseless, and is shown to be a threat to innocent people or have no problems harming innocent people, he will not hesitate to make sure that they can't become a bad as Kokabiel and ensure that no one else can go through the horrible experiences he went through in his life.

Now with all of that out of the way, lets get this show on the road!


Chapter 7: Friendly Competition

Azazel, the twelve-winged Governor General of the Grigori, was bored beyond belief. Of all of the staff meetings among the cadre, this one was easily the worst by a mile as Shemhazai went on lecturing him on proper allocation of funding and diplomatic relations.

"And with that, this quarter's budget will have to be cut short, Azazel. We simply don't have the resources right now to keep up these constant constructions of Artificial Sacred Gears, as well as the operations going and identifying and protecting so many Sacred Gear wielders at the same time."

Thankfully, Azazel wasn't the only one, as Baraquiel looked just as bored with the constant rambling as well. Both were leaning on there arms, looking like they were about to collapse on the table and just fall asleep at any moment now. While they knew Shemhazai meant well, he just talked forever about statistical analysis and reallocation of Grigori efforts. Sadly, Azazel knew he wouldn't be able to return to his laboratory until this meeting was concluded.

"And before you go off with another idea for your artificial production, we need to-" Shemhazai lecturing was cut off as a frightened, yet blushing Fallen Angel suddenly burst through the large pair of double doors leading to the meeting room looking like she had just seen a ghost. Almost instantly, all traces of sleep seemed to disappear as the trio of eyes turned to Raynare, who slammed her hands on the table frantically.

"I have a message for Kokabiel-sama!" she cried.

Azazel raised his brow. "Raynare-chan? What are you doing here? Didn't I order you to report back to me once you finished observing that boy? And what's this talk of a message for Kokabiel?" This was not the first meeting Kokabiel had missed that years. It was slightly odd that a message would come for him now, he would have to put a temporary redirection on this message.

"K-k-k-kaiju! Kaiju in Kuoh!" she suddenly screamed. "He's the survivor of Project Kaiser! He want's revenge!"

As soon as she said that, the three cadre fell silent. Project Kaiser was a name that they recalled all too well. Just recently, they had discovered several documents that supposedly belonged to Kokabiel; documents that spoke of kidnapping hundreds of children that he believed were Mutants and torturing them to death through horrifying experimentation. But they also read on one of the documents that only one subject had survived and escaped not long before the project was officially shut down. When they had confronted Kokabiel about this information, he just casually brushed it off as being nothing.

But not long after that, they hadn't heard a word from him since.

However, another word that Raynare had said caught Baraquiel's attention. "Did you say 'kaiju'?"

"Yes! He's related to 'him'! To Godzilla!" she replied frantically.

Now the room had become so quiet that one could practically hear a pin drop from the other end of the hall, and it might have been a trick of the light, but it almost seemed that all color had left their faces. A human related to quite possibly the most powerful, feared, and respected being on the face of the world in Kuoh? It almost sounded too absurd to be true.

"That couldn't be possible." Shemhazai said with a hint of doubt in his voice. "The Kaiju have been missing for the past ten years. Why would a human be able to wield the powers of one of the strongest among them?"

"I'm telling you, he's real and has his powers!" Raynare cried. "He spared my life! He wants Kokabiel-sama!"

Azazel was now officially interested. Studying the Kaiju had always been quite interesting to him before they suddenly vanished, almost as interesting as creating new Artificial Sacred Gears. It was surprising to him that humanity could have the capability to create and awaken such monsters and release them onto the world. If this mystery person that Raynare spoke of was indeed the survivor of Project Kaiser and the wielder of the power of the Kaiju King, then this was something to look into.

"We should put this meeting on hold for now. Shemhazai, I want you to take control of all ops and research temporarily. Baraquiel, I want you to look into all those research documents Kokabiel left behind, see if you can find anything incriminating or learn anything more about this boy. Once your done with that, find Vali and have him look for Kokabiel. I want to hear from him personally what he was up to back then. The Devil's are in control of Kuoh, so we'll have to find out more about all this from here."

His fellow cadres nodded and quickly got up before leaving the room to fulfill the duties their Governor General gave them. Once they were gone, Azazel turned his attention back to Raynare, resting the back of his hands under his chin while giving her a narrow look that gave the female Fallen chills.

"Now, care to tell me what else you were up to in Kuoh?"


Kuoh, the next day:

It was a rather bright Sunday afternoon in Kuoh and Tokugawa stood in the park at the center of town. Standing with his arms crossed, he watched as Issei was lying on the ground on his stomach, looking slightly out of breath. Sighing through his nose, he shook his head with closed eyes.

"You can't even do ten push-ups without collapsing? That's just sad."

"I feel like...I'm gonna...hurl..." Issei gasped through ragged breaths.

Tokugawa sighed again. "Whatever. Try again."

It had been a week since Tokugawa and the Occult Research Club had saved Asia from the clutches of the Fallen Angels and since the two had officially joined the Occult club. After the battle against the Fallen Angels, as well as awakening his Boosted Gear, Rias felt that Issei would have to grow stronger in order for him to learn to properly wield it, as well as to get him into peek physical condition. The brunette wasn't entirely thrilled at first, but willingly accepted it since he was determined to get stronger so that he wouldn't feel useless.

He had asked Tokugawa to help him train to get stronger, and he agreed since he was more than willing help one of the few people he knew in this town that he could call a friend. They had both agreed to meet to get started on training that Sunday morning, but as the training went on, it was clear that Issei definitely needed a lot of help.

Issei got up and was able to pull off five more push-ups before he collapsed yet again. Tokugawa pinched the brim of his nose in frustration. "Seriously, this is just ridiculous."

"Hey! It ain't my fault that you're tougher than me! I'm still new at this whole fighting thing!" Issei retorted.

"True, but if you're gonna get stronger, you've gotta learn to suck it up and live with it." Tokugawa replied. "Getting stronger isn't something that's just gonna happen overnight. It takes time and a lot of effort. Trust me, I know."

Issei thought about his words and sighed as he rolled on his back so that he could look up at the sky. "Yeah, you're right. I just wanna get stronger so I don't have to keep relying on you guys for help. I wanna be able to protect everyone around me without feeling weak."

Tokugawa sat down on the bench in front of him as he looked down at Issei. "You still blame yourself for Asia dying, aren't you." It wasn't really a question, but a statement. Issei nodded in response.

"I was too weak to help her back then. If I get stronger and learn how to use my Sacred Gear, then I'll be able to protect her if any of those Fallen Angel douche bags come back and try to hurt her."

Tokugawa stared down at the brunette lying on his back before turning his gaze up towards the sky. "I can't tell you how many times I blamed myself for not being able to help all of those other kids in that Hell-Hole. I constantly cursed myself for not being strong enough to do something to stop it, for not fighting hard enough to be able to protect them. I asked myself why I was the only one to escape, why it had to be someone like me. Some of those kids could have grown up to become something great in the future, and they had all of that taken away from them."

He looked down at his right hand and watched as he tightened it into a fist. "But now that I have this power, I feel like I can ensure that no one else gets hurt because of the evil deeds of others." He looked back at Issei. "You're still uncomfortable over me killing those three Fallen Angels, aren't you?"

"A little bit." Issei replied hesitantly.

Tokugawa brought his gaze back to the sky. "I don't like killing people. I'm not fond of doing it. But after what happened to me in that place, after seeing the true evil that Kokabiel displayed when he killed all of those kids, I will do whatever it takes to make sure that anyone like him I come across can never hurt anyone else ever again."

Issei looked at him with a smile. "I guess you and I really aren't that different when it comes to wanting to help people, huh?"

The teen stared at the brunette before smiling back. "No, I guess not."

Issei got up off the ground and stretched a little. "Man, we've been here for a while. Wanna hang out at my place for a little bit?"

"I guess we could use the break. Sure, why not." Tokugawa replied as he stood up to.


That was what both boys had planned for that day, so imagine their surprise at seeing both Rias and Asia waiting for them in Issei's front yard with a few boxes beside them. After asking them what was going on, Rias revealed to them that Asia was now moving in with Issei and his parents. Apparently earlier that day, Rias had asked the timid blonde about where she felt like living and she replied that she wanted to live with the Issei, much to the brunette's shock.

And that was what led them to their current situation now. All four teens were now sitting on a couch across from Issei's mother and father, who looked absolutely in shock at being told the news of Asia living with them.

After a few seconds of processing, Issei's father was the first to speak up. "I-I'm sorry. What did you say your name was?"

"It's Asia."

"R-right. Listen Asia-san, surely there's a better long-term living situation than moving in with us."

Asia smiled. "The thing is, I owe your son and I need to pay him back."

"Owe him?"

The gentle Bishop nodded. "Yeah. I came to this town all by myself and I don't know what I would have done if it wasn't for Issei-san and Tokugawa-san." She them smiled at said boys. "They took care of me and in return, I want to be able to take care of them. But if it puts you out in any way, I can go somewhere else."

Issei's mother shook her head. "Oh darling, we aren't saying that you can't stay here, Lord knows we have the room. It's just that...Issei..."

"He's an abnormally horny child!" Issei's father suddenly spouted. "He's a pervert and is not to be trusted!"

Issei's mother nodded. "Well put."

Tokugawa sweat dropped at the blunt description. 'Wow, quite a blunt way to describe your own son.'

Apparently, Issei had the exact same opinion, though he was more vocal about it. "What the hell dad?! How could you say that about your own son?!"

"In addition to room and board, there's something else she can get out of living here." Rias said with a smile. "She could learn to be a wife.

"SHE COULD LEARN WHAT?!" Issei, his parents, and Tokugawa all shouted in unison while Asia's face turned beat red.

Issei's parents suddenly clasped hands with hope in their eyes along with comical tears streaking down their faces. "After all these years, we can actually find someone willing to sleep with this big lug and give us some grandchildren!"

"Dad!"

"Maybe this marriage will help get rid of his unhealthy obsession with the pornography!"

"Mom, you're killing me!"

Tokugawa could only watch the weird exchange between two parents and their son. Seriously, this was probably the strangest family he had ever met by far.

"And I've also arranged a second solution to help your son." Rias said with another sweet smile. "Tokugawa-kun here will also be living with you to help Issei-kun get over his 'bad habits.'"

"WHAT?!" This time, it was only Issei and Tokugawa that shouted as this was the first time they had heard anything about this.

"What the hell! I never agreed to this!" Tokugawa argued as he stood up off the couch.

"I know it's sudden, but think of it as a way to help you become more social." Rias replied calmly. "Besides, I did tell you that I was going to get you out of that abandoned house, didn't I?"

Before Tokugawa could come up with another argument, he felt someone grab his hands and looked to see Issei's father staring him dead in the eyes. "Is it true? Can you help our son get over his perversion?"

The teen just stood there in stunned silence for a good fifteen seconds before he relented and gave a half-hearted sigh. "I'll...see what I can do."

"Oh thank you!" Issei's father, now joined with his mother, suddenly began shaking his hands rapidly before they turned to Rias. "Rias-san, we'll gladly take in Asia-san and Tokugawa-san to live with our pervert son! It's his only chance!"

Rias smiled. "Wonderful."

"Please take good care of me!" Asia bowed her head politely.

Tokugawa and Issei could only watch with dumbfounded, yet conflicted expressions. This day was just getting weirder and weirder.


Another week had passed since the new living arrangements were made for Tokugawa and Asia and while it seemed to be smooth sailing for the blonde Bishop, it was slightly rocky for the half-Kaiju.

Since it had been a long time since he had lived in the same house with another group of people, it had been understandably awkward for him at first, but thankfully he already seemed to be getting along with Issei's parents, so that was a good thing. He and Asia had been given their own rooms since the house had two or three spare rooms that weren't in use at the time, with Asia's room being across from Issei's while Tokugawa's was next to his.

Life for the black-haired boy also changed even at school. Rias had made some special arrangements for Asia to attend the same class as Issei and Tokugawa, which both surprised and pleased them since the girl would finally have the chance to make many new friends. And once she had introduced herself, she was instantly adored by all the other students. However, when Asia revealed that she was living with Issei, that cause some commotion among the other students as the brunette was instantly faced with two kinds of negative emotion from them, severe disgust in the females case, and great jealousy with the other males.

However, that almost changed instantly when Asia then revealed that Tokugawa was also living with them. The girls in the class seemed almost relieved after hearing that, believing that the black-haired boy would protect the gentle blonde from Issei's perversion. However, the guys were now not only jealous of Issei, but also Tokugawa now. Of course, the boy was able to ignore it as best he could, not paying too much attention to the glares he was getting from the other males of the class.

Asia had also already seemed to get along with everyone within the Occult Research Club and it seemed that even though she was new, she was already exceptionally skilled with magic. Even Akeno had stated that Asia might even have as much skill as her, which seemed to slightly irritate Issei since he was still nowhere near as skilled as any of the others within the club. But it only seemed to make him more determined to get stronger, something that Tokugawa found commendable.

Right now, Tokugawa was taking his time exploring the courtyard of Kuoh Academy, hoping to become more familiar with the place he would be spending most of his time at from now on. It was refreshing for him to be able to be able to walk around the school grounds without having to draw any sort of unnecessary attention.

"Oh my gosh, it's the Great King!"

"He's so cute!"

"Cute? He's so hot!"

"I want him for my boyfriend!"

"Get in line! I call dibs on him!"

Of course, he was quickly beginning to learn that having even a few minutes of relaxation was impossible when everywhere he went, he was subjected to the stares, gazes, and wanton looks of every teenage girl in the vicinity. And there was also the nickname they had given him: The Great King of Kuoh. Well, since Great Prince was already given to Kiba, it did seem a little fitting to him, given who he had received his powers from. Still though, the way that the girls would say it when they saw him made him pretty uncomfortable.

"Damn that handsome!"

"He can't have any of the girls!"

"Quick, we need to gather blackmail on this guy!"

"Die brute!"

It also seemed that no matter where he went on campus, he was also subjected to the hate and scorn of the male population. It was slowly becoming more annoying that he was receiving so much attention from everyone. He just wanted to find a quiet place to relax and avoid all the noise.

"Are you enjoying the popularity?"

Tokugawa turned to see Akeno walking up to him with her usual smile. It slightly relieved him to find someone that he knew.

"I honestly can't understand how you're able to deal with the popularity. At least you have both sides liking you and not one trying to kill you."

Akeno just continued to smile. "Well, I think the best thing you can do for now is just try and outlast them as best as you can. There's really no way to make both sides happy. Besides, you're not the only one going through what you're going through."

Tokugawa cocked his head with confusion. "What do you mean by that?"

The Nadeshiko beauty couldn't help but giggle at how cute he looked when he did that. "Kiba-kun pretty much goes through the same thing. His method of dealing with it is to just please one side and outlast the other."

"You make it sound like it's some kind of battle."

"Well, you aren't wrong. Just do you're best to ignore it and you should be fine." As Akeno answered, Tokugawa noticed the two were on the receiving end of the gazes of the surrounding students, all while expressing different comments.

"Is one of the Great Ladies of Kuoh really talking to Serizawa-kun?!"

"They look so good together!"

"I'd ship them!"

"Damn you handsome!"

"He's even got Himejima-senpai?!"

"Seriously, someone get blackmail on this guy!"

Tokugawa sweat dropped at the comments before motioning his head to the onlookers. "Don't look now, but we've got a fan club."

Akeno noticed the group as well, but simply giggled. "Oh, let them stare all they want. I don't mind it at all."

"I do though." the boy muttered to himself. He then felt something grab him by the arm and looked down to see Akeno wrap her arms around his. "Um, what are you doing?"

"What? Isn't it a gentleman's duty to guide a young girl to class?" Akeno asked innocently with a sweet smile. Tokugawa had to admit that she looked really cute when she smiled like that, no matter how much he tried to fight it. After spending most of his childhood in Hell and the following years after in isolation, he was slowly beginning to realize that he didn't have that much resistance when it came to beautiful girls, something that he mentally cursed at sometimes.

"...I guess that's true. Alright." Unable to deny the request, he walked Akeno back to class, ignoring the sharp glares of the other males.

It seemed no matter where he went, someone was out to get him.


The old school building, later that day:

It was currently late afternoon and school had just ended about an hour or two ago. Tokugawa, Issei, and Asia made their way into the main meeting room of the Occult Research Club where they noticed Kiba and Koneko sitting on the couches across from each other while playing a game of chess. Rias was also there sitting at her desk at the front of the room with Akeno standing dutifully beside her as usual.

Rias noticed them and smiled. "Oh good, you guys are here. Now that everyone is accounted for I have a few announcements to make." She looked up at the trio as she stood up from her desk. "For the last couple days, you three have been distributing fliers, correct?"

"Yeah."

"Well as of right now, your flier days are over." She raised her hand to ward off their surprised looks and any potential questions. "Relax, it isn't a punishment. You three have done great work, but normally the hassle of handing out flyers is the job of a familiar."

All three gave looks of confusion until Issei spoke up. "A familiar?"

"Yes." Rias raised her had as a small bat-like creature suddenly appeared in a small puff of smoke. "This is my familiar Issei-kun. I believe you two have met?"

Issei looked confused at what she meant until another puff of smoke appeared and a woman in a red dress suddenly stood in the bats place. Issei's eyes widened when he recognized the woman as the one who gave him the flier that allowed him to first contact Rias when he died.

"So hot flier girl is your familiar?" Rias nodded at Issei's question as the woman returned back into a bat.

"I have one too, of course." Akeno raised her own hand as a small green demon-like creature appeared on the ground beside her.

Tokugawa raised an eyebrow with surprise. "Is that an oni?" Akeno nodded happily at his question.

"This is Shiro." Tokugawa, Issei, and Asia turned to see Koneko cradling a small white kitten in her arms.

"Mine's bad ass too." Kiba smiled as a falcon appeared resting on his arm. Of course, Issei was jealous.

"Familiars are a major part about being a Devil." Rias explained. "When you're in need, they'll always be there to back you up."

Asia raised her hand timidly to get everyone's attention. "That's great...but how exactly to we get one?"

"That's the next step." Rias said until they all heard a knock at the door of the meeting room. "Yes? Come in."

All heads turned as the doors opened and eight people walked in, seven of them young women and one a young man about Issei's age. All of them wore the Kuoh Acadamy uniform, though the only male of the group wasn't hearing the blazer and had rolled up the sleeves of his dress shirt.

The one leading the group was a young bespectacled woman that seemed slightly shorter than Rias. She had a slim figure with black hair styled in a short bob cut and had violet eyes. Another young woman standing behind and to the right of the leader was also bespectacled, though she had long black hair that went down to her knees and had light brown eyes.

Tokugawa was put slightly on edge as he sensed a strange energy emanating from the two lead females that almost reminded him of Rias and Akeno.

"Sorry to interrupt." the woman at the head of the group said formally with a smile.

Issei was left utterly speechless. "Whoa. What the heck is she doing here?"

Asia turned to him. "Issei-san? Who are these people?"

"The one in the middle is Souna Shitori, the Student Council President. And the woman behind her is Tsubaki Shinra, the Vice President." Issei glanced at all the others behind them. "Looks like they brought the rest of the Student Council with them."

Although he hadn't been to a school since he was younger, Tokugawa was familiar with what a Student Council was thanks to his older brother. From what he remembered, they were basically the ones in charge of disciplining other students if they were participating in any sort of activities that were illegal on school property.

In other words, they were quite a big deal.

Rias smiled with pleasant surprise. "Hello Souna. What can I do for you?"

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

Issei blinked with surprise. "Wait, how does she know about that?"

Akeno smiled as she gladly explained. "Her real name is Sona Sitri and she's not just the Student Council President. She's also the next head of the House of Sitri, a big Devil family."

"There are other Devil's that go to this school than us?" Issei asked with surprise.

It was then that the only male of Sona's group spoke up in a rather arrogant tone. "Rias-senpai, I'm hurt to find out you didn't tell your little boyfriend about us. But I suppose if you don't trust him with inside info, then he mustn't be worth much to you, huh?"

"It's considered bad form to get involved with the affairs of other households, Saji." Sona said in a composed manner. "It's only natural that Rias held this information back."

The only male of the Sitri Group, now known as Saji, recollected himself from his slight scolding until Issei finally seemed to recognize him. "Wait, I know you. You're the guy from 2-C who was just elected Student Council Secretary. I think I might have voted this guy."

"Genshirou Saji, my Pawn." Sona answered him.

"This is my Pawn, Hyoudou Issei-kun. And my Bishop, Asia Argento." Rias introduced the two beside her.

"So you're a Pawn too, dude?" Issei asked with a smile at the thought of making a new friend. "Then that totally makes us like twins."

However, Saji simply scoffed before flashing a smug look at the brunette. "Can it, d-bag. There's no way someone like you could compare to a group of distinguished Devils like the Sitri's. Besides, I took up four Pawn Pieces bro."

"He took up eight pieces." Sona stated. "It's always better to check your facts before you make a complete fool of yourself."

Saji's eyes widened. "Wait, eight? You're kidding me! How did this lame ass butt-munch manage that?!"

"Shut it!" Issei retorted. Scratch that, make that a new rival.

Sona sighed before giving an apologetic look. "My apologies, he was just recently reborn. I hope you'll forgive him. Newbies don't always appreciate the finer points of civility, do they." She then noticed Tokugawa standing beside Issei and Asia and raised an eye brow. "Is this the human that just recently joined your club?"

All eyes, both from the Gremory and Sitri groups were now on Tokugawa, who could sense their anticipation. But before he could even speak, a voice called out to him.

"Tokugawa-chan? Is that you?"

The boy looked up at the Sitri Peerage was surprised to see a familiar face step forward so that she was standing beside Saji. It didn't take him long to remember her as being the girl that he had helped two weeks earlier before he met the rest of Gremory Group.

"Ruruko-san?"

Ruruko Nimura beamed at him. "Wow, it is you! I heard that you were enrolled here, but I was never able to find you. Man, I can be such a klutz sometimes." She lightly bopped a fist to her head in playfulness at her mistake.

Sona glanced between the boy and her other Pawn with slight interest. "Ruruko, is this the boy you were telling us about?"

"Yeah! He's the one who stopped that mugger from stealing my stuff." Ruruko replied happily.

Tokugawa could now feel the gazes he was receiving from Rias' group and sighed. "It wasn't that big of a deal. All I did was trip up some delinquent that tried to make off with her things, nothing that important."

Akeno giggled at how much Tokugawa was trying to brush off the praise. "Aw, looks like you really do have a soft side after all."

The boy simply grunted in response as he tried to ignore the teasing, but he then noticed Sona step forward towards him. "So you're the one who helped my servant get out of a spot of trouble. For that, you have my gratitude." She dipped her head in thanks before looking back up at him with a serious gaze. "You're Serizawa Tokugawa-san, the new transfer student, correct?"

"I am."

"Tell me, is it true that you're really half Godzilla?"

At that moment, Tokugawa's higher brain functions practically came to a screeching halt as he processed that. 'SHE KNOWS?!'

"I told her about you." Once his cognition returned, he turned to Rias who had an apologetic smile. "You see, I'm not the only one in charge of guarding this territory. The heirs of both the House of Gremory and Sitri are responsible for safeguarding Kuoh, so it was my responsibility to let her in on what you really are."

"I understand that you wish for your identity to remain a secret." Sona spoke again. "As such, I promise that your secret is safe with me. You have my word."

Judging from her tone and her body language, Tokugawa could tell that she wasn't lying and that she meant every word. It was comforting that there was someone else out there willing to protect his identity from the outside world.

It was then that Saji pointed at shaking finger towards Tokugawa with shock. "Wait, did you say...half Godzilla? Then that means...HE'S THE ONE WHO DESTROYED THREE FALLEN ANGELS AT ONCE?!"

"Nice to meet you too." Tokugawa grunted sarcastically, though he was slightly pleased to see Saji flinch a little at his response.

Sona coughed into her hand to get everyone's attention. "Well, since Ruruko and Saji have been introduced, I suppose its only fair that my Peerage introduces themselves as well."

On cue, the last third-year, Tsubaki, stepped forward. "I am Heiress Sitri's Queen, Tsubaki Shinra."

Two girls stepped forward, both of whom Tokugawa remembered from seeing them around the school between classes. The one with white hair and bluish-green eyes spoke first, "I am Momo Hanakai, miss Sitri's Bishop."

Her counterpart, a girl with long brown hair tied in two short braids and matching eyes spoke up, "Reya Kusaka, also miss Sitri's Bishop. Momo and I are in the same second-year class."

"Tomoe Meguri, Heiress Sitri's Knight, second-year." The girl with shoulder-length reddish-brown hair and brown eyes spoke. Tokugawa also recalled seeing her a few times around school.

"Tsubasa Yura," a blue-haired tomboy spoke up, idly blowing a few stray strands of hair from her face. "Same class as Tomoe, though I'm a Rook."

With the introductions now finished, Sona turned towards her childhood friend/rival. "So, now that that's out of the way, what exactly did you have planned today?"

"We were actually just discussing with Issei and Asia about getting their familiars." Rias replied.

"Oh? Is that your plan?" Sona inquired with slight surprise.

Rias nodded. "Yes, I was planning on having us go next week actually."

Sona brought a hand to her chin in thought. "Well, that's a bit of a problem for us as he only takes people once a month."

"In that case, why don't we have a friendly little contest to sort this whole thing out?" Rias asked with a look of challenge in her eyes.

Sona's eyes widened slightly. "A contest?"

"Whoever wins gets to make their request first." the redhead added.

"Surely you're not talking about a Rating Game." Sona's eyes became serious again.

Rias waved her hand in dismissal. "Oh no, we'd never get permission to do something like that."

"Yes, that's true. Besides, now's not the time to call attention to yourself, now is it?"

"Don't go there." Rias' tone suddenly became firm and serious for a brief moment at the topic Sona was hinting at. Unbeknownst to her though, Akeno took notice of her Masters sudden distaste towards whatever Sona had almost bright up, but remained quiet to keep the others in her Peerage from worrying.

Suddenly, Rias' mood became chipper again. "I know. How about we settle this the old fashion high school way with sports?"

Sona tapped her chin as she pondered over it before looking back up at her with a smirk. "Well, I can't deny a challenge like that, especially from my rival."

Rias clapped her hands together happily. "Then it's settled then, we'll get started tomorrow!"


The next day:

The match of the day seemed to become the center of attraction during the lunch period. Sona under her guise as President Shitori had made it clear with the tennis club that she would be 'dueling' the President of the Occult Research Club in what was supposed to be a mere exhibition match. Apparently, news of the Four Great Ladies of Kuoh dueling it out in a tennis match had spread around the school and now what seemed to be every student in the school was surrounding the fenced-in court, with Rias and Akeno on one end and Sona and Tsubaki on the other. From a high vantage chair, Sona's Bishop Reya was refereeing for the match.

"C'mon Buchou! Show these uptight losers who's boss!" Issei shouted from the Gremory side.

"C'mon Kaichou! Stick it to those jack wagons!" Saji called as well from the opposing side.

Rias turned to her Queen. "Akeno, we're in it to win it."

"Got it. No mercy." she replied with a nod.

From her side, Sona smirked with a spark of challenge in her eyes. "May the best Devil win."

Rias served first, sending the ball towards her opponents, only for Sona to return it with a vicious swing. Akeno intercepted it and sent it towards Tsubaki, who returned it. And so they went on.

"So what exactly is the goal behind this game?" Tokugawa asked as he stood beside Kiba and Koneko.

Kiba gave him a look of surprise. "You've never played tennis before?" When he saw the flat look the boy gave him in return, that was enough of an answer before. "Oh right, sorry. Anyway, rules are you hit the ball within set boundaries, trying to get it past the other players."

Tokugawa looked back towards the match with confusion. "You basically just bounce an object between participants until one side screws up? What's the point?"

"Boredom." That was Koneko's response as she continued to watch the match while nibbling on her snack.

"Way to go guys!" Issei cheered alongside Asia.

"You can do it!"

As the game continued, Tokugawa blinked twice when his keen eyesight picked up something that he thought fooled him. As Sona tossed the ball into the air for her next serve, a white magic circle had inhabited the space just before the racket made impact. In response, Rias' racket winked ruby red as she intercepted it.

"Are they using magic? Didn't they agree not to use that?"

"That doesn't seem to be stopping them." Kiba commented as he sweat dropped. "I guess we can kiss the rule book goodbye, huh?"

Koneko shrugged. "It's cool. "Buchou is about to lay the smack down."

Rias smirked towards Sona and Tsubaki's side. "Look Sitri, you can cheat all you want to, but in the end it's not gonna make a difference in this game." She then pointed her racket towards them. "You want a magic show? Well, I've got a few tricks!"

"Do your worst, Gremory." Sona retorted. "You think I'm afraid of you? Well bring it on!"

And so the tennis match from Hell went on.


Later, at the old school building:

"To bad it was a draw." Koneko said as she held up two tennis rackets that were used earlier that day. Both were damaged beyond repair. "Since no one won, they're suggesting we all compete in a team match."

"Are you serious?" Issei asked with slight disbelief."

Kiba nodded. "Serious as a heart attack, my friend. They're all out there right now discussing what we should play." At that moment, Rias and Akeno entered the room, gathering the others attention.

"We've chosen dodge ball as the game to play." Rias revealed. "We meet the Sitri's at the gym tomorrow night."

"But there's eight of them," Asia recalled, "and six of us."

"That's true," Akeno nodded as she stood beside her King. "Which is why we'd like to ask Tokugawa-kun if he'll help us."

"Me?" Said teen was surprised by the sudden request. "Why me?"

"You may nod be in my Peerage, but in order to keep things official through school channels, the matches are scheduled under our club names. And you are a member of the Occult Research Club now." Rias explained. "There's no obligation to compete, but the help would be appreciated nonetheless. If you did, then that would even things out quite nicely since one of Sona's peerage has to abstain to referee and uphold the rules anyway. Plus, having you participate would no doubt be a huge advantage since they haven't seen your abilities yet."

Tokugawa thought it over for a brief moment before looking towards Issei and Asia as they looked back at him. After a few more seconds, he had his answer. "Very well then, I'll participate as well. Since I'm a member of this club too, I might as well pull my weight where I can."

Smiles spread across the rest of the group at his answer. Rias nodded. "Wonderful. Now then, rest up for the rest of the night and I'll see you all tomorrow."


That night:

As Issei laid in bed, he was having a more difficult time falling asleep than usual. While he wasn't quite stressed about the match tomorrow, he felt that he could at least try and do something to help contribute to the group or at least show some support. At that moment, he suddenly got an idea and got out from his bed. Creeping down the hall as to not disturb the others, he quietly knocked on Asia's door.

"Hey Asia, you still up?"

The door opened and Asia, dressed in a green nightgown, looked out only to be pleasantly surprised to see the brunette. "Oh, hi Issei-san. Come on in."

For just a split second, Issei found himself staring at Asia's chest before he mentally smacked himself back to his senses. "Oh! Uhh-I can't, it's really late. Listen, sorry to bother you, but do you have a needle and thread I can borrow?"

Asia tilted her head in confusion. "Yeah?"


The next night:

The ORC was assembled in the gym, preparing for the match. Of the seven, Rias and Kiba were practicing catching a foam ball while Akeno was helping Asia stretch her legs since she wasn't quite use to any strong sports games like this. In the meantime, Tokugawa, Issei and Koneko were simply jogging around the gym to work on their legs.

"So we're battling the Student Council tonight, huh?" Issei thought aloud. "You think they're gonna use any magic?"

"There will be." Koneko replied flatly.

"What do you think'll happen if both sides use magic against each other?" the brunette asked again.

"Widespread destruction." she replied in the same exact tone.

Issei sighed with dread as he knew that he would quiet possibly be creamed rather quickly once he got caught in the crossfire of the other battling Devils. Well, Devils and one Kaiju.

"Guess all we can do is do the best we can to beat them." Tokugawa stated, causing them both to nod.

Once they were done and got together, Issei pulled out several strips of cloth and handed them out to the others who stared at the items presented to them with slight surprise.

"Team headbands?" Rias inquired.

"Nice thinking Hyoudou-kun!" Kiba complimented.

"These are gonna make us look totally bad ass!" Akeno added.

Issei smiled. "Thanks, I stayed up all night making them.

Rias' eyes slightly widened as she looked up at him. "You didn't sleep?"

"I just wanted to make something cool as a way of saying thank you for everything you guys are doing for us. I'm lucky to have friends as awesome as you." The brunette scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Plus I suck at sports, so this way I'll remember not to throw the ball at my own team."

"So that's what you were doing. I thought I heard you doing something last night." Tokugawa smiled and nodded in approval. "Nice going Issei."

Koneko smiled and nodded as well. "You're a pervert, but your sweet."

"Lets put these on, get out there, and do our best to kick some Sitri butt!" Rias declared. The others nodded in unison as they began tying their headbands over their heads. Tokugawa, Issei and Kiba all wore full tracksuits, with Rias wearing the girls' equivalent in a different color than their grey. The other girls wore the simple t-shirt and bloomers.

"You ready to rock and roll?"

At the sound of the new voice, the ORC turned to see Sona and her entourage waiting for them, all dressed in tees and shorts similar to the Gremory servants, with the exception of Saji who matched his fellow males. Sona turned to her white-haired Bishop. "Momo-san, you'll referee this time."

While the opposing team took the court, Momo pulled out a stopwatch from a summoning circle as well as a flag. Setting those items aside, she opened up a container near the wall and revealed three dodgeballs, all of them soft foam of course.

"Alright, basic rules apply. Get hit, your out, but can be redeemed on the other side's perimeter. Catch it and the thrower is out. No cheap shots. Ready! Three... Two... One... GO!" With that, Momo threw the three balls with quick succession, letting both teams scramble for them.

As soon as the game had begun, the ORC were already finding themselves nearly overwhelmed by the exemplary teamwork the Sitri group displayed. It was only due to the intense athleticism of Tokugawa, Kiba, and Koneko, and the above average physical abilities of Rias and Akeno displayed that they were able to keep Issei and Asia in the game. And even then, they were only able to keep the game even.

That is until the Sitri's Rook, Tsubasa, hurled the ball in her hands at what must have been Mach speed. It sped towards Koneko and she quickly leaned back to avoid it as it curved upwards, creating a long tear in her shirt. Momo blew her whistle and raised her flag, signaling a point for the Sitri group.

Issei cringed as he noticed the damaged done to the petite Rook's shirt. "Man, right in the tit."

"I needed a drink anyway." Koneko said as she walked towards the out position.

At the same time, Tsubaki threw her own ball, which became shrouded in dark blue energy as soon as it left her hand, towards Rias. The red haired King managed to catch it, though the accumulating force released upon impact ripped her clothes in a few places.

Sona smirked. "Well, catching Tsubaki's spike head-on is pretty impressive."

"Don't forget Sona, I'm a Gremory. That's just how we roll!" Rias threw her ball towards the opposing team and as it continued on its path, Rias' blue eyes flickered red for a moment. In response, a crimson red magic circle appeared in the balls path as it flew through it, surrounding the oncoming projectile with a reddish-black fire-like energy. Sona's Knight Tomoe saw the ball coming her way and tried to catch it, only to be sent flying as it exploded upon contact, also resulting in her clothes to be burned off.

Issei was distracted as he ogled over the sight that he failed to notice Reya grab a ball from behind and chuck it towards him, only for Tokugawa to shove him out of the way as he caught it. And so, the trio of the Gremory teams newest members watched as the others continued the destructive game of dodgeball as magic circles lit up the room and explosions rocked the gym. At some point, one of the balls had crashed through one of the windows to the outside.

"I never knew dodgeball was so terrifying!" Asia exclaimed with fear on her face.

Issei blanched as he watched the destruction continue. "This isn't dodgeball! It's like a fight to the death!"

Saji turned to his Master. "Want me to take out that sissy-ass Pawn?"

"No, I got it." Sona jumped up as a magic circle appeared in her hand before she lobbed her ball towards Issei and Asia. "Here comes the pain!"

"Shit!" Issei cursed as he quickly pulled Asia out of the path of the ball, but it suddenly began to change directions mid-flight and started chasing after Issei. The brunette began running around as the ball continued to chase him, ducking and weaving around to try and avoid the projectile, but it was still hot on his tail.

Thankfully though, help came as Issei ran past Tokugawa, who saw the ball coming and caught it as it was about to fly past him. Now holding two balls, one in each hand, Tokugawa stood in front of the rest of the ORC facing the Sitri group.

"You call this destruction?" Bringing both balls up, they suddenly became surrounded by blue fire and white static. Tokugawa's eyes narrowed as he mentally pondered over who he was going to target first. He made his choice. "Let me demonstrate to you real destruction!"

He brought his left hand back and threw the ball straight towards Saji, striking him in his chest and sending him flying into the far wall. He then threw the other ball and it struck the ground in front of Tsubasa and Reya, causing an explosion that sent both flying backwards. Momo blew her whistle and signaled all three Devils out.

The other members of the Sitri Peerage stared in shock, but Ruruko was the first to break the silence. "Whoa...That was so cool!"

Sona's smirk slightly widened. "My, my. Looks like your reputation really is spot on. I should expect nothing less from someone who's half-Kaiju."

"He's our secret weapon." Rias said in a rather proud tone. "Prepare to lose Sitri."

Tokugawa cracked his knuckles and smirked towards Issei. "You ready for this?"

"Hell yeah I am!" he replied while pumping his fist. "Lets go!"


After about another thirty minutes of the dodgeball match from Hell, the entire gym was practically a complete wreck. Small craters littered the wooden floor, windows were shattered and the bodies of slightly injured Devils laid scattered about, both groups having suffered casualties from the deadly game. By the end of the match though, the only ones that were still in were Rias, Akeno, and Tokugawa together with Sona and Tsubaki.

Sona mentally counted the number of people standing before her and sighed. "I guess this means we lose then?"

"A deals a deal Sona." Rias said as the Sitri team began to file out of the gym, with Tsubasa carrying an unconscious Saji on her back. "Since we won, we get first pick of the familiars."

Even though she lost, Sona still couldn't hold back a smile. "As much as I hate to lose, I have to admit that was still an awful lot of fun. Although, if this had been a Rating Game and not just us fooling around, there's no way you could beat me."

"You really think so? Well, I guess we won't know for sure until we actually play the game. But it'll be a while until we have to worry about that."

"Don't be so sure Rias. You'll never know whats coming up." Sona said as she began to walk towards the door after her Peerage.

"That was amazing!" Ruruko exclaimed as she beamed up at Tokugawa. "I never realized you were so strong!"

Tokugawa simply shrugged at the praise given to him by the first-year Devil. "I was hardly giving it my all. I impressed that you didn't get fried or break a few bones back there."

Ruruko rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. "Hehe, actually my legs have been aching a little bit since that last hit. But I think I'll be fine; besides, my mom tells me I have pretty strong bones for my size."

"I can see why she would think that. Still, might wanna get those aches taken care of before you sprain something." Tokugawa kindly advised.

"Yeah, you're probably right. I'll take a quick soak when I get home tonight." She turned to follow her King, but not before waving back to the teen. "I'll see you around Tokugawa-chan!"

As the Sitri group disappeared, Akeno sneaked beside Tokugawa and smiled teasingly. "Ara, ara, looks like you have a fan."

"I doubt it's like that." the boy said back.

"Don't be so sure about that." Akeno giggled.

Rias turned towards the others and smiled. "Alright everyone, lets head back to the club room."


Back at the old school building:

"CHEERS!" The voices of the members of the Occult Research Club resounded through the silent room as they lightly tapped their drinking glasses towards each other before drinking. Tokugawa and Issei formed around with the others and shared their talks and conversations as they waited patiently for the time to begin their familiar contracts.

"I want you all to know I'm thankful to each and every one of you for going out their and doing what needed to be done to beat the Sitri's. I hope you guys feel very proud." Rias said with a warm smile.

Issei smiled sheepishly at the praise. "All I did was get knocked around like a punching bag."

Kiba turned to him and held up the headband he had been wearing earlier. "Sure you got a little knocked around, but you also made these headbands. They're pretty rad man."

"Totally." Akeno smiled.

Asia beamed at him. "Yeah! They really helped bring our team together!" Koneko simply nodded with a smile.

"It was a pretty nice way of showing your team spirit. Good job." Tokugawa gave the brunette a light pat on the back to show his gratitude, to which Issei continued to smile sheepishly.

"I hate to break up the celebration, but it's time we get you two a couple of familiars." Rias said as she referred to Issei and Asia.

Asia looked slightly surprised. "W-wait! We're getting them right now?"

Rias nodded. "The Familiar Master only appears on nights during a full moon. That's why he only comes once a month. This is the right time to go talk to him in getting you two your familiars."

After a few moments, Akneo soon summoned a magic circle near the door entrance as she stood at the center before looking back to the others with a smile. "Lets go everyone."

"Right!"


The magic circle flashed brightly before the members of the ORC now found themselves in a clearing surrounded by a large forest. However, there wasn't a single speck of green vegetation to be seen anywhere. The trees were all completely bare and the ground was nothing but hard dirt and small rocks, but what was most noticeable was that the sky wasn't blue or black like during the human world, but a dark shade of red.

Tokugawa looked around curiously. "Where are we?"

"A magical forest where all the familiar's live." Akeno happily explained.

"Don't be scared." Kiba assured Issei and Asia, who both looked slightly weary of their surroundings. "This is where we came to get our familiars too."

Issei looked around, still looking weary. "Oh, I'm cool. I mean, besides the fact that I just pissed myself."

Asia also looked around with concern as she stuck close behind Issei. "Y-yeah, It's really freaky."

"AHOY THERE!" An obnoxiously eager voice called from above. The members of the ORC looked up and saw a lanky man dressed in a loose tank top and shorts with a backwards cap on his head and a travelling pack on his back standing up on the lower branches of one of the trees.

"Umm, are you the Familiar Master?" Issei asked.

The man laughed. "That'd be me! You can call me Satoji! Welcome to the Familiar Forest!"

"It's a pleasure to to see you again Master Satoji." Rias inclined her head. "Thank you for meeting us tonight."

"The honor is all mine Miss Gremory!" The Familiar Master leapt down to land in front of the group. "Now then, how many familiars will we be looking for tonight?"

"Two actually, for my newest servants Issei-kun and Asia."

Satoji nodded in understanding. "I see. Well then, can I interest you in an adolescent Kaiju?" The man blurred and was suddenly right next to Tokugawa, behaving as if the teen was a potential familiar. "Good fighting potential and experience, with monstrous strength and speed included in the package. Atomic power to help deal with Strays, pesky Angels, Exorcists or Fallen Angels of any kind. Physically, in peak condition and performance excelling in all areas save intense academia. Takers anyone?"

Tokugawa was somewhat alarmed that not only had he been described so well right off the bat, but that the Familiar Master knew that he was half-Kaiju without anyone even telling him. He was also slightly unnerved about apparently being offered like an expensive art piece at an auction.

"...How did you-?"

"-know you were half-Kaiju?" Satoji finished the teens question. "I've ran into several Kaiju during the times I've spent travelling the mortal world. I asked them if they wanted to become familiars and was shot down by each one. They either told me to get lost or threatened to crush me every time I asked."

Now Tokugawa was more than surprised, even some of the others of the ORC, that the Familiar Master had actually encountered several Kaiju. But at the same time, he wasn't surprised that they had turned down his request. As if a Kaiju would ever consent to go anywhere at a weaker being's beck and call.

"...Who exactly did you ask?" Tokugawa inquired. The others also looked slightly interested in which Kaiju Satoji had met.

The man scratched his chin in thought. "Well, lets see. I asked that grumpy fella Baragon if he wanted to become a familiar, but he just told me to buzz off or he'd roast me alive for bugging him. Then there was that giant bird...what was his name again?"

"You mean Rodan?"

"That's the one! Yeah, he just laughed me off thinking I was pulling a prank. But when he realized I was being serious, he just turned me down. Then there was that one time I asked that big guy Anguirus and he just ignored me the whole time. Finally, I met one of the Big G's kids."

Tokugawa's eyes went wide. "You met who?"

"Yeah, I met his younger son, Junior I think his name was. He seemed interested in the proposal until his older brother showed up and told me to get lost." Satoji sighed as he petulantly kicked a small rock. "Kaiju never go with being familiars, can you blame me for trying?"

Tokugawa was silent was he pondered on the last Kaiju the familiar master had listed off. He recalled a few times Godzilla had spoken of his sons during the seven years after he escaped from Kokabiel. When he had last asked about them, Godzilla just said that he had asked his older son Minilla to look out over Godzilla Junior while the Kaiju King went out on his own, saying that they were both now old enough to look out for themselves.

"Well, with all that aside now," the Familiar Master spoke cheerfully again, "lets go find us some familiars!"

As the group began to follow Satoji down a path deeper into the forest, Akeno noticed Tokugawa seemed to be in deep thought about something and scooted beside him. "You feeling alright?"

"Hmm?"

"You look troubled. Is it something about Master Satoji meeting other Kaiju?" the black-haired Queen asked with a worried look.

Tokugawa simply shrugged. "I'm aware about them. Though sometimes I often wonder if there will come a time where maybe I can meet them in person, learn a bit more about them."

"What do you know about them?" Akeno asked, sounding interested in what kind of personality a Kaiju really had.

"Well, I've heard Anguirus is quite possibly the most stubborn Kaiju there is. Apparently he's gone up against Kaiju that are easily twice as strong as him and he hardly ever retreats without taking a good thrashing first. He and Godzilla apparently met back in 1955 after the first Godzilla died and the two got into a brawl that got pretty heated. Godzilla won in the end, but apparently they ran into each other again and somehow became pretty close friends. I don't know the whole story of how that happened, but I don't think it's something to pry about. Then there's Rodan, who I've been told used to be a lot like Godzilla back then."

Akeno tilted her head in slight confusion. "Used to be?"

Tokugawa nodded. "The last Rodan died back in 1993 while helping Godzilla fight some robot double the government made to try and kill him. He and Godzilla were trying to save Junior and Godzilla nearly died until Rodan gave up his life force to give him the strength to beat the robot. The current Rodan was apparently another that was created just like the last, but didn't first show himself until 2003 when he helped Godzilla fight some giant dragonfly monster.

Anyway, the first two Rodan's, the last ones parents, died when Mt. Aso erupted back in 1956, but one egg was able to survive and hatch into the previous Rodan. Apparently, he hated humanity like Godzilla because humanity didn't like him, and in his mind, that more than enough of a justifiable reason for disliking them. But in the end, that didn't stop him from helping Godzilla and Mothra fight another Kaiju to protect humanity back in 1965."

He purposely didn't reveal the name of the Kaiju he was referring to, not wanting to see how Akeno or the others around him would react if he brought up that name.

"There's also Mothra, probably the most respected out of all of them. She's supposedly a kind and benevolent Kaiju, but I'd heard that she can actually get pretty scary if you make her mad."

"Just how scary are we talking about?" Akeno asked.

Tokugawa shook his head. "Trust me, from what I've been told, you really don't want to know. However, at least she's a lot kinder than her counterpart, Battra. The two once got along pretty well until their different views began to clash with one another, so Mothra was forced to put a seal on him to prevent him from hurting anyone. Of course, he freed himself in 1992 and fought Godzilla and Mothra, but Godzilla started to get out of control so Mothra and Battra teamed up to stop him. Battra was killed in the end, but Mothra doesn't seem to let that get in the way with her friendship with Godzilla, something even I've found surprising."

"What about Godzilla himself? What's he like?"

Before Tokugawa could reply to that, he and Akeno noticed that Satoji had stopped in his tracks and was observing something above while the others looked at him with confusion.

"Whats up? Why are we stopping?" Issei asked.

The man pointed up towards the high branches of a tree in front of them. "Look high!"

Everyone looked up towards where he was pointing and saw a small creature perched on one of the branches, looking out towards the distance. It was blue in color and had a triangular shaped head and two small wings on its back.

"Is that a Dragon?" Tokugawa inquired.

"Aw, it looks really cute!" Asia fawned.

Satoji nodded. "Cute, but dangerous too. When they get angry, they have the power to shoot lightning that's blue."

Kiba's head perked up for a moment. "Hey, that Dragon's pretty rare, isn't it?"

"I think this is the first time I've ever seen one." Rias added.

The Familiar Master turned to Issei. "Do it now if you want this one claimed. Once these Dragons grow up, they can no longer be taimed."

"Issei, since you have the power of the Red Dragon Emperor, that Sprite Dragon might be a pretty good fit." Akeno noted. The others nodded in agreement and Issei looked up at the small Dragon with determination.

"Alright then! Sprite Dragon, by my right as your master, you will become my- Gwwuoo!"

He suddenly stopped when he noticed green slime hailing towards them without warning and begin to cling to the girls' bodies, which completely surprised them. The boys were also shocked as they were also rained on only to their eyes, causing their vision to be obscured.

"Wha- What the hell is this!?" Tokugawa shouted with surprise before he coated his right hand in atomic flames and burned the slime from his face.

"Slime?!"

"Iyaaaaan~" A moaning sound caught both Tokugawa and Issei's attention and they both turned in complete shock at Rias, who was also covered in slime. Although, the places they were clinging to were in some rather...inappropriate areas.

Not only that, another moan was heard as Akeno was also in the same state as her President. Koneko seemed pretty much the same with the same stoic expression, though there seemed to be a hint of embarrassment on her face from the situation. No one knew for sure where the slime came from, but what they did know was that it was slowly but surely melting away at the girls' clothes much to their dismay and embarrassment.

As it continued, the clothes melted more, leaving the girls only with nothing but partially melted panties and bras. Tokugawa quickly averted his gaze when he noticed their undergarments also beginning to melt, wanting to preserve their modesty as much as he could. However, Issei covered the lower part of his face to hide his nosebleed as well as the perverted grin on his face. Kiba was still blinded by the slime covering his eyes and was swinging his sword around in a futile attempt to get it off.

"No!" Asia shrieked as her undergarments began to melt away.

"Ara ara, how indecent~!"

Tokugawa honestly couldn't tell if Akeno was distressed or not, seemingly getting into the flow with the others. Seriously, he could never tell either way with her. Turning back to the Familiar Master, he jerked his thumb over his shoulder towards the slime.

"What the hell is that? Is it also a familiar?"

"Indeed. It's a creature that loves to feast on clothing, mainly that of a female." he replied bluntly.

"WHY WOULD A USELESS FAMILIAR LIKE THAT EXIST?!"

Satoji shook his head in deep thought. "There are just some things that are out of the ordinary, my boy..."

"That's really all they can do?!" Issei exclaimed with excitement. "I've found mine! I want the slime to be my familiar right now!"

Tokugawa turned to him with a baffled expression. "YOU WHAT?!"

"No Issei, you can't!" Rias managed to say as the slime had bonded her arms behind her back. "Picking a familiar is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make! Please, you have to think it through first!"

"I've thought about it enough! This is the one I want for sure!"

Tokugawa's left eye began to twitch as he felt his frustration mounting with all of this ridiculousness as well as Issei's perversion. He suddenly surrounded his entire body with atomic flames as he flashed a look of thunder.

"I. Have had. ENOUGH!"

Suddenly, Tokugawa released a quick, yet intense surge of heat from his body that spread throughout the area. While it didn't harm the girls or Kiba physically, the slime that was attached to them was instantly incinerated and became nothing but burning scorch marks on the ground, much to Issei's shock and horror.

"NOOOO! Yucky Slime! You can't die on me! How can I ever be able to make hot girls naked now?!" He cried in horror, holding the burnt slime in his hands while tearing up in a comical way.

Satoji shook his head. "I've never seen a Devil fall for one of the forests greatest pests."

"He's usually such a good boy, but I guess in the end, the pervert inside of him finally took over." Rias sighed with disappointment.

"You bastard! Why did you kill Yucky Slime?!" Issei stood up and glared towards Tokugawa.

"Hey, I did everyone here a big favor. That stuff was complete and utter garbage and you know it." Tokugawa grunted in irritation at the fact that Issei was getting emotional over a pile of slime. Koneko seemed to agree with him as she nodded in approval.

"He was my fated partner! I won't ever be able to get a second chance for this! Now I'll never be able to use Yucky Slime to see hot girls naked!"

"...What the hell is with the stupid name? Besides, there are plenty of other familiars out there that I'm sure are better than a bunch of stupid slime. Get over it!" the older teen retorted.

"He was the best! We could've done so much together! You son of a- Guuuuhhaaaaa!" Issei's rant was cut off when he was suddenly struck by a blue lightning bolt and collapsed to the ground.

Asia stepped forward to see if he was alright when she then felt something land on her shoulder. She looked over and was pleasantly surprised to see the Sprite Dragon from earlier settling itself on her right shoulder.

Satoji stared in slight shock. "Sprite Dragons don't attack unless they believe their loved ones are in trouble." He scratched his chin in thought before a smile formed on his face. "Which in the familiar world means that Dragon and lovely lady should be together."

"You mean Asia and that thing are bonded now?" Kiba inquired.

"He's so cute!" Asia beamed at the adorable little Dragon that was perched on her shoulder. The Sprite Dragon then crawled off her shoulder and into her arms, allowing the gentle Bishop to pet it.

Rias smiled before she quickly cast a spell that caused her and the other girls' uniforms to return to normal. "It looks like you've found your familiar Asia. You ready to make the contract?"

"Oh yes, I'm ready!" she replied happily. Resting the Sprite Dragon on the ground, a green magic circle appeared underneath the creature before Asia began to recite the familiar contract. "In the name of Asia Argento and Devils everywhere, I command you to accept this contract to be my familiar forever." As she finished, the magic circle under the Sprite Dragon vanished.

Akeno smiled from the sidelines. "Well Asia, it looks like you've found a friend. I think you two will be very happy together."

As if to justify her words, the Sprite Dragon flew into Asia's arms again and started nuzzling her, causing the blonde to laugh. "Hey, that tickles! Cut it out Rassei!"

Issei blinked with confusion. "Wait, Rassei?"

"For some reason, that name popped in my head." she replied before she looked away as her cheeks began to turn pink. "I love him, and every time I hold him, I'll think of you."

Issei smiled and rubbed the back of his head with embarrassment. "Well, that's a sweet thing to say Asia." He then stepped forward and raised his hands to pet the Dragon. "Nice to meet you Rassei- Guuuuhaaaa!"

As soon as Rassei saw Issei coming, he fired another blue lightning bolt at the brunette, causing him to collapse again.

"Oh, something else you should know about these Dragons. They also hate other males, that's just one of their features. That is unless they encounter a dominant male that they believe is their superior."

"That probably explains why he likes Tokugawa-senpai then."

No one knew what Koneko meant until they looked towards said teen and saw that Rassei was perched on his head without displaying any sort of aggression towards him. Tokugawa blinked in confusion as to why the small Dragon wasn't zapping him and looked towards the Familiar Master.

"Why is he so calm near me?"

Satoji stared at the scene in thought before he snapped his fingers. "Ah! It must be your Kaiju side! Seeing as you carry the genes of Godzilla, the mightiest of all monsters, he see's you as a more dominant male. So don't worry, don't expect him to bite."

Issei felt his eyes begin to sting before he started crying again. "Oh, Yucky Slime! Why did you leave me?! I wanted you powers to be mine forever!"

"Get over it already!" Tokugawa shouted, feeling the urge to knock the perverted teen out cold. However, as if he was somehow able to read the older boys mind, Rassei fired one last lightning bolt at Issei, this one knocking him out cold.

"That was dope." Koneko commented.

Rias sighed, shaking her head at her peerages antics, but still couldn't hold back a smile. "Well, it looks like we've finished what we came to accomplish. Lets head back home everyone."

"Yes Buchou!"


"His name is Serizawa Tokugawa-kun." Baraquiel began. "His family was killed during a Kaiju attack on the human city of Fukuoka in 2001. Several weeks later, Kokabiel abducted him and forced him into experimentation along with 300 other children for Project Kaiser. In the end, he was the last one remaining and the only one to escape."

"Poor kid. Makes you wonder what an innocent boy who had already lost everything did to deserve such torment, by Kokabiel no less." Azazel sat at his desk as he contemplated the information Baraquiel had told him. "I assume that it was his awakening to Godzilla's power that allowed him to escape?"

"Indeed. After his escape, Kokabiel decided to officially shut down Project Kaiser. However, I noticed from the reports that he had endured the most experimentation's out of any of the other prisoners there. Why would Kokabiel choose to let him live when he disposed of all the others?"

"Maybe he truly saw something in the kid that made him think he could persuade him to his side. Still, trying to forcefully awaken a Kaiser just so he could start the Great War over again? He really has gone over the edge this time."

Baraquiel nodded. "All the more reason we have to stop him before he somehow breaks the cease-fire. But what about the boy? If he really is a progeny of Godzilla himself, then we could all be at risk of invoking his wrath if he is harmed."

"Which is why we're merely going to observe him." Azazel replied. "It's been 10 years since Final Wars ended and the Kaiju disappeared. It used to be a fun hobby of mine to study them from afar, to learn how humanity to create or awaken such creatures of such destructive power. It truly is fascinating."

"Please be serious about this." Baraquiel reminded. "We are dealing with a Kaiju here. Besides, the Biblical Powers haven't had to deal with one since the end of the Great War."

Azazel's expression dropped of a moment before he nodded. "I'm remember that well Baraquiel."

He did remember. He remembered how the armies of the Three Biblical Factions were at a stalemate during the Great War until the Two Heavenly Dragons interrupted the war with their legendary battle, how they were forced to unit to try to stop them, but ultimately lost a large chunk of their forces in the process.

But then it only got worse when he came.

He remembered when that thing, that demon, fell from the sky in a ball of fire and completely annihilated their armies and forced both the Grigori and the forces of Heaven into retreat after it slaughtered God and the original Four Great Satan's, leaving only the Devils and the Heavenly Dragons to face him. In the end, they all were at the mercy of him until they gained aid from an unexpected ally, who united the Two Heavenly Dragons together to beat back the demon and seal it away forever.

He felt his skin crawl for a brief moment, snapping him from his thoughts. "Well, for now we'll need to find a way to observe him from here to see what he will do next. Until Kokabiel makes a move, I'm not sure there's really anything we can do."

Baraquiel nodded in agreement before he turned and walked out of Azazel's office, leaving the Governor General to his own thoughts.

'Godzilla, King of the Monsters. What drove you to take in a human as your successor?'
