Hello and Happy Holidays, one and all! This is dad90 back from a mini vacation, and ready to get back on track on Maken-Ki DxD: Battle Busters! And boy, do I have a LOT to let out of my chest during my mini-vacation.

First and foremost of all, Kobe Bryant is finally going to retire as one of THE greatest NBA players of all time. God Bless You, Kobe.

Then, Rest In Peace, Marc Breslow. Another legend from The Price Is Right passes away. He created some of the great pricing games, including Plinko, I believe.

And then last, but not least, I'm going to admit, one of the OCs I've placed in this story by the name of Quinn is really….irrelevant. So, I'm going to have to do something about that.

I'll tell you all about it later, but right now, let's get it on as another episode of Maken-Ki DxD: Battle Busters is about to begin!


Maken-Ki DxD! Battle Busters!

Opening Theme: His World by ZebraHead

Episode 7: Hidden Surprises around Every Corner


** At the Chichiizumi Mansion **

(Dayo's POV)

Well, last night was certainly something! As I got out of bed and looked at my 3 sisters and 3 stepsisters, my mind wandered back to the events of the aftermath of the last battle that the Maken-Ki and the ORC members did.

(FLASHBACK TIME! – Last Night)

As soon as the 2 groups left, my team of the Black Label Organization arrived at the battleground that was the church and cleaned up any evidence that was left behind, including the Sacred Gears the enemies had and use them for analysis.

Plus, Furan and Yuka told me that someone named Diadora had hidden in a camouflage bubble, making one of my earlier suspicions confirmed. I'll soon tell this to Sirzechs and the others later on.

And then, Raynare told me about Kalawarner and Mittlet in which they were in the same boat as her. It turns out that both Kalawarner and Mittlet were no different to Dohnaseek, Mittel or Sureri, but they absolutely hated Serafia, and couldn't stand her or Abazias due to their disgust after hearing about what Serafia did to become a Fallen Angel. Kalawarner became a Fallen Angel after reuniting with an old flame, who unfortunately turned out to be a Devil in disguise, and tried to kill her, but she retaliated in self-defense. And then Mittlet became a Fallen Angel after being tricked by one of her former friends in which she killed her in rage. Despite their actions, they were banished from Heaven, but found residence in Grigori, where they worked for Azazel, the Leader of the Fallen Angels.

When Serafia and Abazias arrived, Kalawarner knew that they couldn't be trusted from the start, especially with what she has done with Raynare. And when Mittlet caught a glimpse of Abazias' and Serafia's plans, she quickly told Kalawarner about it, in which she tried to inform her superiors, but was confronted by Abazias, and one fight later, she lost after his new recruits, Dohnaseek, Mittel, and Sureri knocked her out, which Serafia used her magic on her. Mittlet was soon caught a few minutes and suffered the same fate.

Thanks to Sam and S.U.S.A.N. and their technology, Raynare, Kalawarner and Mittlet were happy to serve us and our family, in which by the way, remember Quinn, our stepmother?

Yeah, I know you guys don't, and I don't blame you. Well, guess what? Somehow, she's gone missing. Probably must be going haywire again. Well, you won't believe what happened to her. I'll tell you about that when the time comes. It may not be important now, but it'll soon be when that time comes.

Also, in the meantime, Aki Nijou is taking care of Asia in her dorm room at the Teacher's dorms in the Brawn Division at Tenryou International School, and she also asked Asia to become her assistant in the Nurse's office, in which Asia accepted it immediately as she wants to put her healing abilities to good use. I hope she has enough brains to know that there are many perverted boys who just want to hurt themselves just to see the nurse…

And speaking of teachers…

"That reminds me…." I said to myself, looking at Saturday's schedule. Usually, I take Saturday and Sunday off as I grew accustomed to public and charter schools in Florida in the U.S. Unfortunately, in Japan, some of the schools, including Tenryou, go to school for half-a-day on Saturday. Thankfully, it's only for the Beauty Division.

"Damn it," I muttered to myself as I remembered that Mikan (You know, the Head Instructor that usually scolds the Beauty Division Principal, the Otaku Kaede) has "asked" me to help her train a few maids and butlers. And when I mean "asked", I mean by force. She actually threaten me by throwing fountain pens like a ninja, and boy, are her skills sharp.

I actually had to do a Jack Sparrow impression as many of them missed me by fractions of a hair.

Therefore…

** At the Beauty Division **

"Man, that Mikan really needs to cool down," I said to myself.

"Nonsense. She's always like that," Kaori, the "butler", told me as we were walking towards our destination, along with his new "roommate", Akiharu Hino, and boy, does he need help.

Akiharu is what looks like to be a delinquent. Why? Well, let's see…

Red eyes? Check.

Scar bisecting his left eyebrow? Check.

6' 0" tall and has spiky brown hair? Check.

Earrings and an angry look as a normal face? Double-check.

And because of his appearance, many girls stay away from him as much as possible, despite the fact that he has somewhat a caring personality. But that's no excuse for him showing so much obliviousness, it actually stuns me for what he does sometimes!

"Finally, from now on, I have my servetrain classes…" Akiharu said to himself.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"Uh, class?"

"It's this way," I said to him as he and Kaori followed me to the…

"Wh-Wh-What?!"

** At the Beauty Division Pool Area **

Yeah….The Pool Area. I don't know why we're here in the first place, especially for Maids and Butlers, but Mikan erases all of that in an instant as she explains.

"Today's lesson is Trouble at an Indoor Pool. Maids and Butlers at Servetrain must have complete and total control of any situation near their Master. It's essential that you are tough, considerate, alert, refined, and knowledgeable.

"Servetrain students must keep all of their clothes on during this lesson. If a Master is drowning, their butler or maid will not have time to remove their clothes."

"That makes sense, actually," I said, now that I think about as Hayate has done the same thing to Lilian when she clumsily slipped into the pool, and unfortunately for me, I can't swim. Luckily, Hayate was right there to save her.

"Well! The time has come!" said Mikan as she pushed Akiharu into the pool, and with such force!

"AHHH!" Akiharu screamed as he plunges into the pool.

SPLASH!

I can also see that he's not the only one in there. In there are two more men.

"I'm Shingo Todoroki. Da nice guy. Nice ta' meet ya," said a man with black hair and with glasses, and from the way he's acting, I don't like him, despite his nice appearance.

"My name is Mitsuru Sanke. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance," said a short, young man with brown eyes and hair. I can tell that many girls like him due to his size.

"You know me as Professor Kurosaki," I said to them before Shingo interrupted me and said…

"I've heard word that you saved Selnia and Tomomi from some thieves, am I right? There's tons a' gossip bout ya, Saki-sir!"

'Oh no, he didn't!' I said in a ticked-off thought.

"And look over there! Doesn't she have such an amazing figure?" Shingo asked, referring to the clumsy maid by the name of Sanae Shikikagami, whose maid dress is all wet, showing her bra and panties, in the process.

And yep, my suspicions about Shingo have been confirmed: He's a pervert. Great, another numbskull in my hit-list.

"What's the matter, Mike?! Did ya see something more amazing?!" Shingo asked me.

"Quiet, before I go over there and smack you senseless!" I said to him.

"Look, guys," Mitsuru said to us, as two more people came in. Oh dear, here comes Selnia and Tomomi now.

"Oh, hello there, Ms. Saikyou, and Ms. Flameheart," I said to the two ladies.

"How do you do, Professor Kurosaki?" Tomomi replied with a smile, but I'm not sure it's a genuine one….

"Hmph! Tomomi said she wanted to inspect you in the Servetrain classes, so I decided to come with her," Selnia scoffed.

"Well, what are you two doing here?" I asked them.

"I was worried about the little girl who was recently transferred here, so I came to see how things were going," Tomomi answered.

"I see," I replied before noticing what's about to happen next. "And by the way, Ms. Flameheart, I don't want to insult a lady like you, but do you really think you want to stand there beside the pool so some of the boys can see your….private areas?"

"What?!" Selnia asked, covering her dress, almost revealing her panties, making Shingo sigh in defeat, and Akiharu and Mitsuru sigh in relief. Yeah, I have to keep an eye on Shingo, but before anything else can happen…

CLICK!

"Alright, we're shifting to the next setting," Mikan told us as she pulled a switch out of nowhere.

Yeah, I have a very bad feeling about this….

"This is Part One of the 'There's a flood so save your weak master' situation!" Mikan announced as the pool has just turned into a Tidal Wave! What the hell?!

Also, during the sudden change of the current, Akiharu has suddenly got a face full of Sanae's butt!

"S-S-S-Sorrry!" Sanae whimpered, making him sink into the pool!

"Damn it!" I yelled, calling Hayate quickly. "Hayate, get over here, stat!"

And in just 5 seconds, Hayate quickly breaks one of the windows and quickly dives underwater to get Akiharu out of the pool before he drowns himself.

Many of the girls were impressed by my quick actions, even Kaori and Mikan. I simply sighed and took Akiharu to the Nurse's office.

** At the Nurse's Office (Brawn Division) **

Akiharu finally woke up after 2 hours of being knocked out.

"T-This is…" Akiharu muttered.

"…the Nurse's Office, Sunshine," I answered. "You got f-d up pretty good."

"This place is so strange," said Akiharu.

"Anyways," I said, going to another topic. "You look like a delinquent, scaring many people naturally, and yet, you want to be a butler. I'm curious to know on why you want to go down this route."

"Well, I don't have the money to go anywhere else," Akiharu answered. "My parents died a while ago."

And just like that, I'm beginning to feel some sympathy for him.

"What'd you do before you came here?" I asked.

"A relative was taking care of me for some time," Akiharu answered. "So, I really don't have any intention of quitting this place."

For him to be almost on the same boat as Hayate….

"Well, I suppose it can't be helped at such situations like these," I sighed heavily. "I'll help you out whenever I can, just like the butler who saved your life, Hayate. I'll do whatever I can to help you graduate!"

"P-Professor…" Akiharu said to me with tears in his eyes.

"Don't even think about it," I said to him with half-closed before Selnia and Tomomi found us.

"Ah! There you two are," Tomomi said to us.

"First of all, I want to thank you for saving this commoner's life, Professor Kurosaki," said Selnia before raising her voice unintentionally. "And yet, that butler is your butler?! That means you're a rich man! He has told us all about you! I'll be keeping my eye on you more!"

And then, she looked at Akiharu. "And as for you, commoner! You said something before, right? 'If you want me to obey, make me acknowledge you first!' I am your superior! Not too long from now you will have to surrender and swear your loyalty to me!"

"What's with her?" Akiharu asked.

DAMN IT, HAYATE! When we get home tonight, you're going to get a severe beating for not keeping your mouth shut!

And…is Tomomi giggling in an evil way? I have to keep an eye on her, too…

** At a Mysterious Mansion **

(3rd-Person POV)

It was late at night, and some voices were heard in one of the dark rooms, both calm and frightening.

"What?! Hideo Aranami is dead?" asked a man wearing a white coat.

"Yes. It seems that it was under a planned murder attack by an unidentified organization," answered a buxom black-haired woman that looks like a ninja.

"What do we do now?!" asked the man, whose clearly angry as he kicked the woman's face hard. "There'll be less money with him dead!"

The man's eyes are the things showing from his face in the dark room as he came up with an awful idea.

"I guess it's fine," he said as he yanked the woman's hair and groped her left breast as she screams in agony. "There's still his son. Now Goryu, I want you to look into this organization. I can't just let people get away with things in my city."

"I understand… Master Kyoji," answered Goryu. "Also…"

"What? There's something else?" Kyoji asked as he groped Goryu's breast harder.

"The cargo ship we discussed has left port as planned," the ninja explained while moaning.

"My Riri…" Kyoji said in a disgusted manner as he licked the woman's face in delight.

** The Next Morning; At Tenryou International School **

(Dayo's POV)

"…He's 30 minutes late. What's taking him so long?" I asked in annoyance.

It was very early morning (5:00 AM) and Rias, Natalia, Lala, Nana, Momo and I are waiting for one Takeru Ōyama to come out of his dorm room without trying to wake up his roommate, Dokuro, the Beat-to-Death Angel.

While we were waiting, my sisters notice the faraway look on Rias' face, with Natalia showing worry and concern for her.

"Rias…" Lala said to herself and was just about to ask Rias what's wrong when…

"P-President! Professor Kurosaki! I'm sorry for the wait! Oh! I forgot my glasses! I'll be right back!" Takeru shouted as he retreated back to his room.

"Hurry up!" I shouted before smacking Rias on the back of her head.

BANG!

"OW! Hey-oh…." Rias said as she held her head. "How long was I-"

"About a few minutes," Momo answered. "What's been going on with you lately?"

"Oh, it's nothing. Don't worry about it," Rias assured us, but the look on Natalia's face says otherwise, and yet, she says nothing strangely enough.

I was not going to buy Rias' answer, and decided to ask Sirzechs on what's really going on soon…

(5 minutes later)

We started the early morning drill as Lala, Nana, and Momo were running in their pajamas (Don't ask. They wanted to do that) while the rest of us were in our tracksuit wear as Takeru was riding on a bike that I provided him to use with Rias riding behind him, while Natalia was running beside me.

However, before we started, Nana wanted Lala to equip Takeru with her sister's newest shock collars around various parts of his body: his neck, biceps, and thighs. Why? Because A. She doesn't like him, and B. It's one of Lala's rare fully-functional, no gimmick gadgets.

I actually thought that it was a great idea so we can keep Takeru's head in the game, and should he wander off, he'll know what's coming…

"Hey! Pull yourself together, Takeru!" Rias snapped.

"Yes!" Takeru responded, panting as he jogged. "I'll must do this…for my mother!"

"Don't grumble!" Natalia responded as she's usually very serious when it comes to training. "My sister and I don't want to see our servants being weak!"

"I'll do my best!"

Soon after, we arrived at a nearby playground, to where my sisters and I observe the Devils' exercising.

Natalia was doing push-ups at an unbelievable speed while Rias lectured to Takeru, pushing on his back to make sure his arms reach his feet.

"Listen. Physical strength essentially determines your standing in the Underworld. Especially for you, Takeru."

"Got it!" Takeru squeaked, but his mind was elsewhere. 'Her breasts!'

ZAP!

"Ghhaaa!"

Rias jumped back as Takeru got zapped as his body was jerking around in a comical manner.

"That's what you get for thinking perverted thoughts, you creep," said Nana, pleased with her idea.

"Oh yeah. I almost forgot to tell you one more thing: Those shock collars also respond to your thoughts. Sorry about that," I said while chuckling.

"How cruel…" Takeru groaned as he recovered. "Why didn't you warn me?!"

"Because you didn't ask," I simply answered. I ALWAYS wanted to do that. "Carry on!"

A while later, Rias had Takeru doing multiple push-ups, while she and Lala sat on his back to increase the difficulty, much to Nana's and my amusement. All the while, Natalia was doing jumping jacks at a fast pace.

"63…64…huh…"

"Do you understand? Given your ability, your power will increase with greater physical strength," Rias lectured before scowling and looked at me.

"Yes! 65…66…Ghaaaa!"

Nana lifted her thumb off the button of the remote control as Takeru fell to the ground on a heap. Clearly, she was enjoying this.

"What did I do?" Takeru squeaked, jerking about.

"Easy, you beast! You were having lewd thoughts!" Nana growled.

"Your hip movements gave you away!" Rias scolded, scowling at her servant under her.

"But I can't help it!" Takeru protested as he got up off the ground on all fours. "You and Lala being on me is cranking my lust to the max!"

"Oh? If your energy is maxed out, then you must be improving. Shall we do another 100 of them?" Natalia asked with an eerie smile couple with an evil aura.

"Whaaaaaaa?" Takeru wailed.

"You walked right into that one," I sniggered while Lala, Nana, and Momo sweatdropped.

(3 hours later)

It was 10:00 AM, and Takeru had no strength left as he was facedown on the ground, unable to move a single muscle. Thanks to my tips and pointers, Rias and Natalia evolved into real slave-drivers of a trainer with Takeru suffering for it. However, he did surprisingly manage to keep his perverted tendencies in check so Nana won't shock him again.

"Well, that's all for today," said Rias as she and Natalia stretched a bit. "Let's take him back home."

"Allow me," I said while gesturing Lala to come over. "Lala, what's the fastest way to transport from one person to another in your terms?"

"Oh, I know!" Lala said as she took out Skip-Skip Warp-Kun to teleport Takeru back to his dorm room. The problem is that whenever the person is transported to their destination, it leaves them naked. Of course, I'm not going to tell him that, especially when Dokuro's involved.

I would soon later learn that Takeru got a severe beating/killing with Dokuro after the mishap.

"Now, I think it's high-time that you get Kengo and train him, too," I said to Rias. "He's another one of your new servants, after all."

"Yeah, that sounds fair," said Rias as she and Natalia teleported themselves to find Kengo, in which he would suffer the same fate as Takeru later on today.

** At the Chichiizumi Mansion **

"We're back!" I called out as Lala, Nana, Momo and I entered in through the doorway.

"Welcome home!" sang some of the maids, and Yant, one of my 3 stepsisters.

Then Kim came to me as I asked her, "How's the newest addition to our family?"

"I believe she'll fit in well. Mittens has taken quite the shine to her. We're keeping her away from Tanya and the bunnygirl mate on the 3rd floor. Don't want to corrupt her this early and bring out the lioness lurking within," Kim reported. "Adam and Evee have put her a few doors down from your room on the seconds floor, so you can check her there, along with Raynare, Kalawarner and Mittlet."

Just then, Sam came along.

"Ah! You're just in time," said the sexy scientist. "Someone from the Mochizuki General Hospital called not too long ago, and wants to talk to you in their briefing room in 1 hour. They said it's a follow-up briefing to the previous mission you did a few days ago."

"Excellent," I replied as I began to head back out in my new BMW. "I'll see you guys later on tonight."

"And Lala, Nana, and Momo, I have something to show you. Right this way," said Sam as the Deviluke sisters followed her.

** At the Highway **

As I was driving, the radio quickly changed into a special news bulletin.

"A few days ago, an explosion has occurred at the residence of Hideo Aranami, the president of Aranami Construction. An investigation into alleged collusion between his company and political parties had just begun. Investigators fear the explosion could hamper their progress."

It was from there that my phone vibrated and it showed a message that I know.

"Triage. Label color: Black. Looks like we're indeed in for another mission! Let's do this!" I said as I placed the car into Turbo Mode.

** At an Unknown Area **

(3rd-Person POV)

At a building that's currently in construction by the Aranami Construction company, there were some men listening to some music.

"Oriha really is great," said one of the men. "She's got that explosive voice…"

A scream could then be heard as brutal punishment is taking place…

SLAP!

"AHH!" screamed a woman who's being slapped in S&M-style.

"Mr. Fujino, you're really gonna have to talk," said the man. "Who knows what'll happen to your daughter at this rate? I mean, I've gotten kinda bored. We need to think of something more….fun. Isn't that right, Jin?"

"Yes, Master Taisei," answered Jin Masaki, a bespectacled-wearing man answered, who looks nice in a business suit, but not in personality as he opens up a bottle of beer. "You're absolutely correct."

He hands the beer to Taisei Aranami, who happens to be Hideo's equally corrupt son, and Jin is his accomplice as he watches the kidnapped man's daughter get whipped again by another man.

"You were living the good life," said Taisei with a smile most unpleasant and closed eyes as the kidnapped man tried to say something, but he couldn't. "And as soon as my dad died, you tried to take the books to cops—I mean, who does that? It scared the sh*t out of me."

Suddenly, the door bursts open and in came a man with a somewhat-chubby body, short black spiky hair, one closed eye, and has a somewhat cocky attitude.

"Sorry to bother you when you're all so busy. Good evening, Taisei Aranami," said the man named Isoroku Tatara.

"Oh, if it isn't Detective Tatara. It's been a while," said Taisei, making Jin and the man punishing the kidnapped daughter look in suspicion. "In fact, that's strange. I should've had 3 friends waiting down below."

"Yeah, seems like they dozed off, so I just waltzed through," Detective Tatara answered as one of the men began to mouth the kidnapped girl's mouth with tape.

"What brings you here tonight? Oh, and don't say you just happened to be strolling by."

"Yes, that's it. Completely by chance, too. That's when I heard screaming. I sort of am a police officer, so I just had to come and see what's up."

"This is a movie," Taisei explained as a camera appeared next to him. "We're filming an independent production for my thesis. I need to finish college and take over the family business."

"Some movie this is," Detective Tatara frowned as the kidnapped man muffled once more. "Well, I'd like to ask you some questions, so how about coming down to the station with me."

"That's what you went with?" Taisei smiled. "Does anyone even say that anymore? I bet people call you old-fashioned. You can borrow anybody who seems unoccupied. Pick whoever you'd like, and take them back with you."

"You're more gutsy than your old man," Detective Tatara replied.

"Tatara, I can't say it's intelligent to enter someone else's private property without permission," Jin told the detective. "You knocked out the people below and are trespassing. I think you're the one without standing here."

"Hey, you could be a little more friendly. It's not like we just met yesterday," Detective Tatara told Jin, not knowing that this situation is about to go horribly wrong.

Taisei suddenly snapped and lost it. "I've had enough of you, old man! You wanna die here?!"

** At a Parking Lot **

A woman with a white lab coat and green sleeveless shirt, who has a buxom figure that's almost well-endowed as Yuuko, is waiting outside, looking worried. Her name is Konomi Suzue, a new detective in the Tenryou Police Force.

"Investigating this way doesn't seem like a good idea," said the nervous police officer. "My senior was right. I shouldn't involve myself with Isoroku if I want to get promoted."

She doesn't realize that Oriha in a mask, is roller-blading right behind her.

** Back at the Building **

"I'm the President of the Aranami Construction company now," said Taisei to Detective Tatara. "You deal with me. It will be better for you if you forget what you say here, and go home."

Detective Tatara was trying not to let his anger get the best of him.

"If you try to take me in on something as trivial as this, I'll be out in no time. I've got tons of important people backing me up. Isn't that right, Masaki?"

"Master Taisei, you should keep that information to yourself," Jin replied. "Of course, those parents would produce this kid, he's complete scum."

"You mad for some reason?" Taisei provoked. "At how powerless you are? I'll let you go, if that's the case."

Then, another whipping came along, making the girl scream/muffle.

"I mean, what's the problem? You don't know these people. If I'm having fun, then what's the problem? If we're having a good time, what's the problem?!"

He soon got his answer when a motorcycle came out of nowhere, in which Mikoto and Rei were on, shocking everyone in the room.

"A bike?" Jin asked. "But we're on the 4th floor!"

Then Rei, with her face completely masked, points a Springfield M1A1 Super Match rifle with a Bayonet attached at Taisei and said, "The malignant tumor, Taisei Aranami. I will excise you from this city."

"What was that?!" Taisei asked in anger.

"You are a lesion that will be excised today. Level 0. Your label color is black," said Rei as she fires the shot and kills Taisei instantly to the forehead.

"What have you done?!" Detective Tatara asked in disbelief.

"He's…" Mikoto asked before realizing who he is. "Oriha!"

"Yep, yep! Yoo-hoo, Miko!" said Oriha, who appeared from the top of the floor out of nowhere.

"Damn you!" Detective Tatara said, trying to catch them, but Oriha points a gun to the floor and releases a smokescreen.

"Rei, he's a detective! Don't kill him!" Mikoto said to Rei.

Then Jin came out of the smokescreen and ordered the other men, "Kill them! Kill them all!"

And the other men started firing through the smoke, only to see Saeko come out of there and began slicing them all with her sword, one by one. Then she points her sword to Jin, who's pointing a gun at the kidnapped father.

And then suddenly…

"I won't let you!"

Detective Tatara pops out of nowhere, in which Jin used the opportunity to kill the kidnapped father in cold-blood!

"What?!" both Mikoto and Rei asked in disbelief.

Jin managed to escape, but not before making one final shot, in which Saeko pushed Detective Tatara out of the way, and slices the bullet in half with her sword, before going to the detective and coldly told him…

"Don't get in my way."

Then, 2 more gunshots were fired as Takashi and Kohta came from the door Jin escaped and killed two more men.

"Sorry, we're late, but it's time to go!" Kohta said as he and Takashi escaped from the door, while Mikoto and Rei escaped with the motorcycle and Saeko jumped out of the building from the 4th floor.

"Wait!" Detective Tatara said, trying to stop them. "You think you saved me? Is that what you think? Screw you!"

** At the Outside Stairway **

3 more men were coming upstairs just as Jin was going downstairs.

"Don't let anyone above get away alive. Waste them all!" Jin commanded as they went upstairs, until…

"Hey, everyone! Let's light up this spaceship's engine!"

Oriha was there, preparing for the explosive end.

"Galacteric, on stage! Whether or not to board this ship is all up to you."

"What's up with this brat?!" said one of the men who continued to climb on…

…only to walk into some invisible wires…that were connected to multiple explosive devices all around the building, triggering it.

"I did warn you!" said Oriha who disappeared. "Bye-bye, Mister!"

BLAM!

A huge explosion rocked at the left side of the building, killing all of the remaining men instantly.

Meanwhile, inside the 4th floor, Detective Tatara managed to save the daughter.

** At the Parking Lot **

"What the hell is going on?! Tatara, please respond!" Konomi tried to contact him as she sees the building go up in flames, but comes up empty.

Then Oriha, masked up, came up to Konomi and asked, "Did you see a guy with glasses around here?"

"No," Konomi replied.

"I see. I wonder if the barrier was breached. Maybe there was some way out…"

"What are you doing here?" Konomi asked, but didn't get her as Oriha asked back, "Is that your car?"

"Yeah, but…" Konomi responded, in which Oriha just roller-bladed her way out of there.

"Later!" Oriha waved good-bye to her.

"Hey, wait!" Konomi replied, but then she saw Tatara with the daughter.

"We're going after them," said Detective Tatara, but…

BLAM!

The car exploded in flames as Oriha placed a trap in there.

** At the Mochizuki General Hospital **

(Dayo's POV)

Shizuka, Saya, Tearju and I are at the control room when I got a call from Mikoto and Rei.

"Come in, Home Base!" Mikoto said to us.

"Dayo at Command Center, go ahead," I replied.

"One of the hostages has been killed, and the secondary object got away," Mikoto reported.

"We couldn't have done anything about that, because that Detective blocked Saeko's way," Rei responded.

"Damn it!" I said to myself, slamming on the table in frustration. If a single hostage has died, then this mission was a failure. And if that wasn't bad enough, one of the targets has managed to escape.

"Don't worry. We'll get him next time. Bring it in," I said and cut off the link.

"Well, we can't win them all," said Saya. "But I know that the other target will get justice, one way or another."

"Oh, I know we will," I responded. "He should be lucky that's he living for a few more days, but the next time we see him, he'll be dead for sure."

I won't let a target slip away from my grasp. I won't!

Touko clapped her hands, silencing the students and said, "All right! We have 2 new students in our class! Introduce yourselves!"

"My name is Asia Argento! I may still be new to this place, but I'm glad to meet you!"

"And my name is Yuuma Amano. I'm also new to this place, and I hope to make friends with you all."

As the 2 girls bowed, the boys cheered, happy that their class has 2 beautiful girls joining. Thankfully, Lala is there in the same classroom to keep an eye on Asia and Yuuma, but sadly, they're in the same room with the Perverted Trio: Issei, Matsuda and Motohama.

"A blonde beauty!" cried Matsuda.

"Bust 82, waist 55, hip 81! Good!" Motohama examined.

Nana and Momo, who are watching from outside, are also concerned.

"Hopefully they'll make friends who don't think between their legs," Nana whispered to Momo, who could only nod in agreement.

"It's a good thing that Lala's there to keep them in check," Momo said to her.

Also to keep them in check is the class president, Hinako Kominato and her best friend, Yuu Momokino.

Hinako is a young, slightly below average height, and petite high school girl. She has short light brown hair and brown eyes. Hinako wears her hair down with bangs that are slightly shorter than the rest of her hair. She has a strand of hair that stands straight up on the top of her head. Like Koneko, Kodama, and Nana, Hinako has a rather small bust (30"), appearing to be almost flat-chested. This makes her look more childish, despite being the same age as Lala. Hinako works at her father's restaurant. While working her father makes her wear something similar to that of a maids outfit, even sometimes making her wear a cat girl outfit. Hinako is not seen much outside of the school and restaurant, so her personal clothing style is not known. However due to her obsession with Oriha, in which she's unaware that she's part of the Black Label Organization, it can be assumed that she probably dresses similar to the manner in which Oriha dresses.

Yuu has short green hair and brown eyes. She has an enormous pair of breasts, rivaling Akeno and Chacha (97 cm). Yuu is in the same class as Lala, Hinako and the Perverted Trio. She wears at school her School-Uniform without the cape like Koneko and at her part time job, a maid outfit to support her younger brothers. Her best friend is Hinako and they spent a lot of time together.

"We're currently staying at the Chichiizumi Residence where the Deviluke sisters reside," Asia said with a smile.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" many of the boys cried, making Lala giggle as the other girls gathered around Asia and Raynare in her Yuuma Amano form to converse with them.

"To think that they live with the girls with the largest pairs of breasts I've ever seen!" Issei cried in jealously.

"I'll think they'll get along just fine," Momo said to Nana as they were originally worried that their female classmates would be hostile to Asia and Raynare since they live with them and Dale/Dayo, but thanks to Hinako and her classmates, in which their feelings are genuine, that was thankfully not the case.

** At the Forest **

(Dayo's POV)

It was late evening, and me, Lala, Nana, Momo, Asia and Raynare were walking through this area, almost at our mansion.

"So, how was your first day at school, Asia?" Momo asked.

"You and Raynare must be exhausted," Nana told them.

"Not at all! Everyone was nice to me, especially with the class president!" Asia replied cheerfully.

"How about you, Raynare?" I asked to the Fallen Angel ravenette, who groaned.

"While it was a good experience, I just wish those 3 meatbags didn't badger me while you guys are not around," Raynare answered, referring to the Perverted Trio.

"You didn't kill them, did you?" I asked.

"No. They were begging us to come to some kind of 'Gentlemen's Gathering'."

"Gentlemen's Gathering?" Asia and Lala asked, confused.

"Just ignore that," Nana remarked. "It's just a gather of desperate boys exchanging tips on how to get a date with a girl while thinking with their other heads. Don't ask."

"Oh…"

"By the way, I've heard word that you had your big debut tonight. What kind of client did you have?" I asked, a bit concerned.

"It was someone who wanted me to dress up for a photo shoot. Koneko and Himegami went with me since it was Koneko's usual client, while Himegami said she came so 'Nothing out of the ordinary' happens," Asia explained, giving us a big sigh of relief.

"It was just cosplay," Momo smirked as she looked Asia up and down. "I can definitely see that."

"Yes," Asia nodded. "At first, Takeru and Kengo wanted to go in my place since they said that I still need to be familiar with this country, but Buchou overruled both of them and send them off to new clients."

"So, they're experiencing an inferiority complex since you're a Bishop, and they are Pawns, and yet, Inaho takes it in stride," I assumed, shrugging my shoulders. "I shouldn't worry about it if I were you."

** Next Day; At the Tenryou International School **

It was P.E. class for both the Brains and Brawn Division, and many of the girls were helping each other stretch as Principal Minori came around to check on them, but the boys…

"Listen, the bloomers will look like panties if you concentrate hard enough!"

"I see it, Motohama! I can see it, too! And to see Chacha and Asia helping each other stretch…what a spectacle!"

"HEY!" I yelled at the 2 boys as they got caught red-handed. "You better move it, or I'll do it for you!"

The 2 boys immediately ran back to their area, but Takeru was staring off into space after the following conversation with Rias the other night…

(FLASHBACK TIME! – Last Night)

** At the Old School Building **

(3rd-Person POV)

"So, you couldn't form another contract, huh?" Rias asked Takeru on the phone.

Not too long ago, Takeru came across a bulky man in a strange magical girl dress named Mil-tan. Long story short, he wanted to become a magical girl, but this man was too weird for Takeru.

"The anime he showed me was fun, so I ended up watching it with him till the end," Takeru replied.

And if that's not bad enough, it was actually déjà vu after he failed an earlier contract from one of Koneko's clients in which he took, and they ended watching DragonBall Z on that.

"Well, if you couldn't form it, forget about it," Rias answered Takeru.

(END FLASHBACK!)

'She definitely sounded disappointed,' Takeru thought sadly to himself. 'I'm such an idiot!'

He didn't realize that Dokuro was showing concern for him, so she decided to figure out a way on how to cheer him up.

** At the Brawn Division Infirmary **

(Dayo's POV)

I came to this area to check on Ms. Aki Nijou, the beautiful, busty school nurse of this entire school. After all, making some of those perverted boys actually exercise was much harder than I thought, but as long as I get the job done, that's all that matters.

"Hello, Aki," I said to her, turning away from the book she was reading. "Sorry to crash in, but I need a nap."

"Oh, it's no problem," Aki assured me. "And Asia's certainly becoming a good assistant. I was also thinking on what kind of dress she needs to wear…"

I could think of so many possibilities, but I decided to answer quickly, "Pink would be a color."

"Ah! You read my mind!" Aki said in excitement, but was surprised to see me sleeping on one of the beds quickly. She decided to cover my bed with the curtain before going back to her book.

(2 hours later)

"Kingy! It's time to get up! I don't want Old Man Zangetsu try to scold me at a time like this! Hurry up now, pip-pip!" Dark Dayo shouted, making me waking up slowly.

'Man, you need to be more quiet when waking me up sometimes,' I said to him before I felt a pair of arms wrapped around my waist, and my hand on something soft and squishy, a feeling I'm all too familiar with.

At first, I thought it was Lala, but when I looked over my shoulder, I saw Natalia, hugging me from behind, only in her underwear! How did she get here?!

And if that wasn't enough, when I turned my head back, I saw Rias, completely nude, sleeping peacefully as her sister! And their Devil wings were out, too!

Now normally, I would scream my lungs out in a situation like this, but since Lala and the Chichiizumi sisters have done this to me multiple times, I calmly removed Rias' breast and quickly yawned before trying to get my way out of here, only to have Rias look at me with a smile on her face.

"Afternoon sunshine. You do realize that there are other beds, you know," I said wryly.

"I know," Rias responded, before letting out a small yawn. "I was feeling a little languid, so I thought I'd take a little nap. Then I found you and Natalia sleeping here."

"For the record, I was by myself at first when I feel asleep, and your wings are out, too," I told Rias, who look behind herself.

"Oh, oops," she giggled as she recalled them back, then turned back towards me. "I didn't disturb your sleep, did I?"

"If your sister didn't wake up, you sure didn't," I assured her before pinching my nose. "But I do have one question… Why are you naked? I'm not injured or anything like that."

"I can't fall asleep unless I'm nude," Rias answered as Natalia started stirring behind me.

How am I going to explain this when Natalia wakes up?

"Oh wait! That reminds me! Aren't you supposed to be doing something important for Takeru tomorrow?" I asked.

Rias simply smiled.

** Next Day; At the Old School Building **

(3rd-Person POV)

A large circle representing the Gremory clan circle envelops both Rias and Takeru.

"You're really coming with me this time?" Takeru asked.

"As I said, I'll be accompanying you as a supervisor this time," Rias replied.

"Do your best, Takeru," Asia and Inaho.

"I certainly will!" Takeru replied.

"Off you go!" Akeno said as they teleported off.

** At an Unknown Building **

Both Takeru and Rias arrived in what looks like to be an apartment. And around the room, there were many objects that were related to the Warring States Period: From a sword in a sheath mounted on the wall, to posters of Japanese castles.

And then, there was an armor of a warrior looking at them, standing up, scaring Takeru and asked, "Oh? Are you the demons?"

And Takeru had to ask, just to be sure, "Um, excuse me, but are you a woman?"

"Yes," the armored woman replied from the voice she gave out. "My name is Susan. I came here to study because I love Japanese culture."

"B-But that getup is…"

"Oh, I'm sorry! I clad myself in armor to be protected from the dangers of the night," Susan replied. "Either way, I'm glad some nice demons like you came. If scary demons had come, I would've had to… had to draw this Kijinmari Kunishige!"

Susan drew her sword and slashed it, forcing Takeru to step back.

"You just drew it!" Takeru screamed, getting his glasses back together.

"So, Susan, what do you want us to do?" Rias asked, in which Susan began to cry.

"Please accompany me to the university, so I can retrieve the notes I left there," she replied.

"That's it?" Takeru asked.

"The university is scary at night!" Susan cried.

"You're the scariest here," Takeru replied.

** At the Suburbs **

As Susan was walking with Takeru following her, he cried to himself, 'Damn it. Why am I getting summoned by all these freaks?'

Then Susan randomly slashes her sword in case something bad happens, but Takeru was getting scared. This is also due to the fact that Susan is a bit a coward.

"W-What's wrong?" Takeru asked.

"S-Sorry. Streets at night are scary," Susan replied.

"You are the one who's scary!" Takeru replied back.

** Back at the Apartment **

The notebook was retrieved without any further incident.

"Th-Thank you so much," Susan said as she bowed to the 2 Devils.

"See you, then," said Takeru, believing that he finally finished a contract so he could grope the President's breasts without any interference as a reward, but he's wrong.

"Uh…" Susan began to say, interrupting Takeru's perverted fantasies.

"What is it?!" he asked, startled.

"Actually, I have another favor to ask," Susan replied shyly.

"Um, we can't really do that," said Takeru. "It's one wish per summon."

However, Rias smiled and said, "Oh, we don't mind."

"P-President!" Takeru said in shock.

(A few minutes later)

Takeru was crying in anime tears while Rias listened to Susan's 2nd request.

"A boy you fell in love with?"

"Yes," Susan answered. "I'm shy and thus couldn't express my feelings. He's a very wonderful man."

"I bet he looks like a hairy warrior from the Warring States Period," Rias guessed. "So, you want us to make him fall in love with you?"

"If possible, I don't want any demonic powers involved," Susan requested. "I want to earn his love on my own."

"That means you don't need us!" Takeru cried, only to get bonked in the head by Rias.

"Then, why don't you confess to him right away?" Rias asked Susan.

"That's… I can't just do that!" Susan cried.

"Maybe a letter?"

"A letter?"

"Yeah, a love letter might be a good idea. It's wonderful to convey one's feelings in writing."

"O-Okay! I'll give it a try!" Susan said as she wrote her letter. "I am writing you about no specific order of business, thus you may set your mind to ease."

"Sounds like an official address…" Takeru said to himself.

"It's all right," Rias assured Takeru. "It's the feelings that matter, not the form."

"I'm not sure if that'll get the feelings across," Takeru sighed.

"Yes, it's not the form. It isn't… about the form," Rias said to herself.

"I'm done!" Susan said as she held her letter….on an arrow with a bow attached to it!

"Sending letters via arrow?! Are you kidding me?!" Takeru asked in disbelief.

** The Following Day; At a Local Park **

"Mom, what is that?" a little girl asked, holding her mother's hand.

"Don't look," she sternly replied as she and her little girl passed a pair of pink-haired twins named Nana and Momo Deviluke who were both sitting on a tree.

Now, they have seen a lot of things in the 2 years they were on Earth. Normal things. Dumb things. Brainless things. Crazy things. Strange things. Awkward things. Even embarrassing things. Heck, they thought the things they saw on the planet of Deviluke takes the cake, especially with Lala's crazy inventions that can go horribly wrong in an instant.

But they forgot one thing…

In the land of the rising sun known as Japan, ANYTHING can happen!

Which is why they're looking on dumbfounded at a scene that reminds them of one of the shows they've previously watched: Battle Girls: Time Paradox. For instance, there were black flags with a white circle on them, and a huge white banner with black lines and a circle. Standing in front of the banner was Susan, and next to them were Rias and Takeru.

"Hey Momo, what the hell is going on here?" Nana asked, her eyebrow twitching.

"Your guess is as good as mine, Nana," Momo replied, not knowing how to feel about this strange situation happening here. "I don't see any cameras around, so I doubt they're filming a scene. If I had to take a wild guess, from what our brother told us yesterday, they're helping that girl in the armor."

Nana blinked, "That's a girl in that armor?! That mask she's using says otherwise."

"But that blonde curly hair coming from the back of her helmet gives the undeniable proof that she's a girl."

Just then, Takeru gave a shout and pointed ahead, making the twins turn to look at what he was pointing at. What they saw made them rub their eyes TWICE to make sure they're seeing right. A man donned in silver knight armor and an arrow stuck in his helmet made his way towards the samurai and the Devils.

"Well, this is….interesting…" Momo muttered, while her twin sweatdropped as they focused their ears to hear what was going on as tree leaves scattered throughout the scene, making it more dramatic.

"I have read your letter. It was a wonderful message!" the man in the silver armor praised. "I'm amazed you caught me off guard and shot me with an arrow. What a letter!"

"Eh?" the girl in the samurai armor squeaked. "Oh no, all I was thinking was how to get it to you, Horii!"

"I feel like I'm going mad," muttered Takeru.

"This can't be…a confession?!" Nana cried, her eyes widening.

"Though sending a love letter via arrow like in the old days is a nice touch. Beats stuffing it in a locker," Momo pointed out as they saw Horii walk towards the armored girl.

"I-I want to go out with you if you don't mind," Horii said, grabbing the armor-clad girl's hands gently.

"Ho-Horii! I'm so happy!" Susan said happily.

"Susan!" Horii cried, embracing her. "Your armor is wonderful."

"Wow, your armor is also so hard and sturdy!" Susan praised her new lover.

"And here, I thought I've seen it all," Nana shook her head in total bewilderment.

"I thought it was fun! Such an interesting place for us to be in," Momo remarked with amusement.

"Well, it's a good thing that we don't have to do that, despite being our brother's servants," Nana replied. "He sees us as family rather than tools."

** At the Occult Research Club; Later that evening **

"So, you both were there for that?" Rias asked in surprise.

"Yeah, contracts are so weird," Momo murmured.

"And to think that it's for the vile beast," Nana piped up, making Takeru facefault.

"So, is that them?" Lala asked, as she and her sisters looked over Rias' shoulder to see a picture of the armored couple in the park. "They look like the perfect couple!"

As Nana raised an eyebrow, Rias asked Takeru, "Say Takeru, how do you feel about having a romantic relationship with someone you love?"

"What I feel about it? Wouldn't it be bliss?" Takeru asked back.

"Right, bliss."

"Well, since I previously went to an all-boys school, I never knew about love, but I can at least say is that you should never go out with someone you don't even love," Takeru answered, reminding him of the time that Yuuma asked him out once. "That's just wrong."

"I appreciate the answer," Rias said to Takeru. "In fact, didn't you say you want to talk about something, Takeru?"

At last, Takeru was suddenly back on his feet. "Oh, right!" 'I almost forgot! Now's the time for her part of the deal! Besides, it's not like that Kurosaki professor will stop me since she made that promise.' "It's about the promise we made last time!"

"Promise?" Rias asked, looking confused. "Did we ever make a promise?"

"Um….about your b-breasts!" he responded, making the Deviluke sisters raise their eyebrows.

"I know. You don't need to be so serious about it," Rias said simply, surprising her perverted glasses servant. "All right, until I've counted to five… my breasts are all yours."

"Eh!?"

'But little do you know…'

As Takeru started panicking, Rias started counting, while Nana and Momo inwardly smirked.

'…that the joke is on you!'

You see, Rias has no intention on letting either him or Kengo touch her female assets, or her sister's for that matter, as she told Dale/Dayo on what she was doing, and he and his sisters were happy to help out since the two perverts have been a thorn in their side in the past, so they had no problem sticking it to him.

Besides, the only one who has the right to do so was Dayo…and by extension, his friends and family at the Chichiizumi Mansion.

"One!"

"That's too sudden!" Takeru protested, but his complaint fell to deaf ears.

"Two!"

'Don't tell me he's actually thinking about how to do it?' Nana thought as she figuratively smelled Takeru's brain burning. 'Pathetic…'

"Three!"

'What a stupid, perverted smile he has,' Momo thought as Takeru moved his fingers from left to right.

"Four!"

'Looks like he's going for it,' Momo smirked as she and Nana nodded as they jumped together and landed on the plank behind Rias, in which the other side of the plank went high up…

SMACK!

…and smacked Takeru's face as he landed on the ground face-first, breaking his glasses, and the sisters went back to their seats just as the door opened.

"Ah! The Deviluke sisters are here!" Natalia said as she and Asia came in, along with the Maken-Ki club members.

"Sorry we're late," said Yumi, coming in as well, with Koneko and Akeno right behind her.

"What's good?" Koneko greeted in her monotone voice.

"You missed the festivities," Nana said, pointing to the downed Takeru and sniggering with Kengo laughing at him.

"Five. All right, that's it. Too bad, Takeru," Rias apologized in a slightly mocking way. "Maybe next time…" 'As if…'

"Oh my, what happened, Takeru?" Akeno asked, with his form twitching on the floor.

"No way!" Takeru wailed.

"Whatever happened, it just made my day," Kodama said, purposely stepping over Takeru as if he was a mat.

All the while, they all didn't notice the strange bird from before flying overhead, looking at them, while Dale/Dayo was looking at it with suspicion.

** Next Day; At the Tenryou Dormitory **

It's pretty early in the morning, and Haruko Amaya, one of Natalia Gremory's servants is always the first one up to do her daily training.

'Since now that the Occult Research Club is assisting us, many people don't know how crazy-strong Professor Kurosaki is, and it seems that many students are interested in him, including Himegami. She took him and Asia and his one other friend shopping and visited a Maid Café. And not too long ago, I even saw Himegami did that. B-But that doesn't concern me!' she thought as she awoke from her dreams of the past things that happened.

She turns over to see Kodama sleeping quietly. All 3 of them, including Inaho, share the same room. She gets up and turns around to see that even Inaho is sleeping in the same room to her surprise.

Haruko gets up and changes her clothes. Wearing an orange tank-top and black shorts with a towel around her neck while holding onto her wooden Kendo sword, she left the room and closed the door.

Moments later, she was outside a circle that had steps on opposite directions and rails all around the steps. She's practicing her attacks with her Kendo sword.

And while of this happening, Dayo was hiding from the top of a large lamppost and watches Haruko's progress.

'So, this Maken she has….' he thought. 'There's a possibility that it could be…the real thing.'

Then, images of Kodama kissing him began to appear in Haruko's mind, making her cross as she starts to train more fiercely.

'Don't let your emotions be the better of you,' Dayo warned her as he watches her technique seriously with his arms crossed, like a mentor watching his pupil getting stronger.

He then jumped off of the lamppost and landed next to her as she finally stops and wipes the sweat off of her towel. She looked up towards the sky before seeing Dayo next to her.

"…How long have you been there, Professor Kurosaki?" asked a startled Haruko with a slight blush.

"A good…..20 minutes," he replied.

"What are you doing so early in the morning?" Haruko asked as her blush went away.

"Well, this is usually where I wait for Takeru to show up with Rias and do some more intensive training," Dale/Dayo answered. "I'm also beginning to train harder myself."

"Why do you need to train more? You're already really strong."

"It's not that.. It's something more….but I won't tell you or the others yet, because to me….it's really personal."

Haruko's eyes widened when Dale emphasized the word personal in his sentence and felt some amazing Killer Intent, even though it wasn't directly towards her.

** At the Brawn Division **

Takeru was having a bad day. Earlier, he foolishly went with Issei and his friends to the girls' locker room in the Brains Division and got caught by Professor Kurosaki red-handed for stealing Akeno's underwear and received 2 months of detention.

And then later, after getting only green peas from Haruko, he accidentally slipped and pulled down Haruko's skirt, just when Yuka and Furan came in and got upper-cutted by Uruchi Minaya, and as a result of this mishap, Haruko's not giving him lunch ever again.

And on top of all of that, Dokuro saw the whole thing, and she…was….TICKED! She was going to KILL Takeru later on today!

Takeru's leaning against the railing on one of the school buildings, somehow having a VERY bad feeling when he returns to his dorm room, feeling that his bad luck is about to get worse, and he's right!

Meanwhile, Dale/Dayo is observing a fight with Chacha and Azuki going against the wrestling team.

"Listen, if I win…" the big bulky guy tried to say, but Chacha cuts him off.

"OK, OK," she replied.

"All right, it's an arm-wrestling match," said Dale who was the referee and the rest of the club members are around their leader as he placed his elbow on the brown table between him and Chacha did the same.

"Ready, go!" Dale announced instantly, and in less than a second, Chacha takes down the club leader.

Dale sighed and said, "Winner is Chacha!"

"Yay!" Chacha shouts in happiness.

"Result for losing THAT quickly: Club Budget is unchanged," said Dale, shocking the club members.

"A-Amazing, so fast," said Takeru as he was surprised by her strength. "But what we're they fighting for?"

"Takeru Ooyama," said Uruchi who came out of nowhere. "I've been looking for you, you slacker!"

"S-Slacker?"

"And for your information, they're events to challenge for club budgets," Uruchi explained. "It makes the clubs that are unhappy with their budget shut up, and sometimes, in worst-cases, they're givin' 'generously' to Lady Rias at the Occult Research Club since they are assisting us. And right now, all Kenkeibu members are negotiating with the clubs and Lady Rias is also talking this to President Shitori of the Student Council in the Brains Division. Only you and I aren't."

"I-Is that so?" Takeru asked. "Well, then which club are we going to?"

"Don't misunderstand," Uruchi responded with her arms crossed. "For a new member and servant like you to participate in budget negotiations is 10 years too early."

** At the Maken-Ki club room **

"Recently, Lady Natalia has told us that weird violent incidents have been happening inside the school," Furan explained. "It seems all the victimized students have lost their memories of the incident. Considering that we neither know the culprit nor have any witnesses, those definitely weren't Battles. Although, uncertain incidents are common, Takeru and Uruchi, you two should gather information from the students."

"In case anything happens, don't forget to keep regular contact, and Professor Kurosaki as an emergency," Yuka said.

** Outside the building **

"Let me make one thing clear," Uruchi said as she looked down to the ground. "I hate you."

'How direct,' Takeru replied.

"I don't know your strength nor do I think we'll get along. Still, you are one of Lady Rias' servants and a comrade of Maken-Ki and I'm one of Lady Natalia's family and I'm of the Shikkoubu. We have to finish our work for our Masters, and I don't like it, but let's work together this time," Uruchi said to Takeru.

"Uruchi…" said Takeru as he grabbed Uruchi's hand, only to get slapped by it.

"Don't call me by my first name," she ordered.

'Is she really gonna cooperate?' Takeru asked.

** At a Different Place **

"That's why if we don't continue selling, the industry will continue to shatter, right?" asked a couple of manga-loving people.

"I agree," Kimi answered with bright-shining eyes.

"How are you convinced, Kimi?" Haruko asked.

"Because I'm envious," Kimi replied with a nervous laugh.

"I beg you! Manga is not just a part of Japan," says one of the members with pride in his voice. "Our goal is to create internationally well-received, super cool, top, visual appealing mangas with famous characters."

"Anyway, we understand your enthusiasm," Haruko responds, trying to calm the members down. "Let's keep the budget as it is now."

** At the Hallway **

Haruko and Kimi were heading to the next club.

"I'm really tired," Haruko sighed.

Kimi giggles as Haruko asks, "What's wrong?"

"Lately, you've been getting softer, Haruko," Kimi replied.

"R-Really?"

"Before, you felt like the perfect Vice-President. Now that we're Devils, it feels like a lot has changed as Rias and Natalia treats us like family. And then, there's something else…like Professor Kurosaki…" Kimi said with a slight blush on her face.

"Wh-What are you saying, Kimi?!" Haruko replied with a tiny blush. Then, the thought of Kodama kissing Dale made her cross again.

** Back to Takeru and Uruchi **

"No result," Uruchi says as she crosses out a specific place that was written down in her small notebook with a pen.

Takeru's stomach starts to growl a little as he feels himself being hungry.

"No result," said Uruchi as she crosses out another one.

Takeru's stomach growls even more loudly.

"The 3rd one didn't give any results either," she said as repeats her pattern.

And again, Takeru's stomach gave out it's presence as it growls loudly.

"Stop making that noise," Uruchi told Takeru.

"Even if you say that…" Takeru tried to tell, but his stomach didn't listen.

"Here," Uruchi replies as she pulls out a small sandwich. "This should help you hold on for a while."

"Th-Thank you," Takeru replied as he ate the sandwich. "You really are a good girl, aren't you?"

The thought of that reminded Uruchi of her past.

(FLASHBACK TIME! – 1 year ago)

Her sandwiches have been ruined thanks to a group of bullies, but Haruko was there to help her.

"Are you all right?" asked a young Haruko. "What a pity that those sandwiches are wasted now. I made too much for my lunch box."

Then a young Rias and Natalia came up to them as Rias asked, "Hey! We're going to have some lunch! Want to eat with us? It'll be our treat!"

At first to Uruchi, it was just a small aspiration, but the more time she spent with Haruko, Rias and Natalia, the stronger her emotions.

"So, do you want to join my Peerage?" Natalia asked to Haruko and Uruchi while Rias was not looking.

"Yes, we'll do our best to protect you!" Haruko and Uruchi replied.

(END FLASHBACK!)

As Takeru was drinking some water, a pretty girl begins to approach him.

"You're from the Kenkeibu, aren't you?" asked the girl. "There's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"Sure, what is it?" Takeru asked.

"You're looking for the culprit of those violent incidents, aren't you?" she asked.

"Why do you know that?" asked Takeru with concern.

"Actually, I know the culprit," she confessed.

"R-Really?!"

"Shh, aren't you investigating in secret?" the girl asked with a smile. "I'd like to help you, Kenkeibu's…"

"Takeru Ooyama," he said.

"I see, so you're Takeru Ooyama," said the girl as the ground suddenly begins to shake underneath them. "Maken Zone: Nephila."

She puts up her hand and a blue electric orb is forming within. And soon, a huge green web starts surrounding the two entirely.

"I-I can't move," Takeru said loudly as he tried to move his legs, but to no avail. "It's no good. My feet are glued to the ground."

"Stop being impulsive and call your friends," the girl said coolly. "The more you struggle, the less you'll be able to move your legs. Now, hurry up."

Then, out of nowhere, a small green beam cuts through the mysterious girl's hair.

"I'm not interested in your Maken," said Uruchi who came to the rescue…sort of. "What I wanna ask is…just whether or not you're the incident's true culprit. Shine! Maken Sword: Perseus!"

The beams of light start going after the girl, but she easily dodges them.

"Please accept your fate. As long as my Element isn't used up, the Swords of Light will follow you," Uruchi informed.

"I-Impressive. No wonder she was chosen to be part of the Shikkoubu," Takeru said to himself. "She could win like this."

"Seriously, what are you doing?" Uruchi asked Takeru. "Because of nuisances like you, the name of Maken-Ki and the Gremory family are sullied."

"I see, you're not bad, Uruchi Minaya," said the girl before the ground starts to shake again.

"M-My feet…" Uruchi shouts as she's now immobilized.

"You won't be able to take another step anymore, since I called out your name within the territory," said the mysterious girl. "But I didn't expect that only small ones like you would appear. Even though I created such a big incident."

"Then…" Takeru and Uruchi said at the same time.

"Cause the higher-ups of the Maken-Ki are too busy, they can't accept my challenge for a Battle. That's why I came to meet them. Now, it's time for punishment."

Suddenly, a strange spider hits Uruchi hard as she suffers some pain.

"Damn, without Professor Kurosaki in the area, and just the two of us…" said Takeru, before realizing that he's going to make the call.

"Stop it," Uruchi halted Takeru. "This is a mission we were entrusted with. We can't cause trouble for our Seniors."

"But…"

"If you always rely on others, people will never accept you!"

It reminded Takeru of his mother, as he angrily asked, "So you're telling me not to do anything?!"

He threw the phone, which was destroyed by the mysterious girl.

"Weaklings should behave like weaklings and shut up!" said the girl.

'I always talk about protecting others and this is the result?' Takeru asked to himself.

** At the Maken-Ki club room **

"There's been no contact from the two of them?" Rias asked.

"Yes," Furan answered.

"We told them to contact us regularly or Professor Kurosaki as an emergency," Yuka said. "But even if we call them, we can't get through."

"It's possible that they got involved in some kind of incident," Natalia thought out.

'How can that be?' Haruko thought before running out of the room, with Rias and Natalia in pursuit.

** Back at the Field **

"Now hurry up and call for help, or you'll be beaten to the ground screaming," the mysterious girl threatened, ready to fire again.

Uruchi then said to herself, "I won't cry anymore. I'll become a strong, gentle and cool girl like Seniors Haruko, Rias and Natalia.

"Minaya!" Takeru shouted.

"Ridiculous!" the mysterious girl cuts Takeru off and hits Uruchi with her Maken, creating a light, which was good enough for Haruko, Rias and Natalia to find out where they are.

And then…

BAM!

Uruchi couldn't hold it back any longer as the girl's weapon tears through her clothes, knocking her back.

"I'll finish you off!" she shouts as she dashes forward.

"Maken Table: Comic Star! Effect Works!" Kimi shouts as she draws in the air with her pen, creating a white road towards the building as Haruko, Rias and Natalia jumps on it before unleashing their Devil wings as Rias releases a Ball of Destruction, forcing the mysterious girl to jump back.

Then, the 3 girls landed with a heavy thud in front of Uruchi as dust clears around them.

"Just in time," Natalia said coolly.

"Ah! Not 1, not 2, but 3 big ones. Must be my lucky day. Haruko Amaya, and Rias and Natalia Gremory," the mysterious said as the little device sends out a wave of green webs. "Oh, as expected. You 3 can still hold yourselves by being this strong. Normal ones aren't even able to stand."

"Lady Rias, Lady Natalia, Senior Haruko," Uruchi moaned.

"You did well, my cute servant," Natalia assured her.

"L-Lady Natalia…" Uruchi cried.

"What is your goal?!" Rias asked, with another hand of the Power of Destruction ready. "For what reason are you doing such horrible things?"

"My…goal," she asked as she looks hurt for a second, but then an evil smile comes across her face. "Yes, I remembered. The higher-ups of Maken-Ki or Devils like you won't easily accept a Battle request. That's why I thought of a plan to lure you out."

"For you to do such things to my servants," said Natalia in a cold voice. "I won't forgive you. You won't get a Battle, but retribution. Haruko, release it!"

"Yes, my Lady!" Haruko replied. "Maken Lock: Heaven's Gate!"

A blue orb formed within her hand as a big chained lock starts to surround her hand, wrist and arm. A powerful wind starts to pick up as it tears the mysterious girl's clothes close to none.

"This Maken can open an extradimensional gate. Sealed beyond the gate is a Maken possessing great power. Tear the sky, Maken Murakumo!" Haruko shouts as the chained lock turns into a bright light and transforms into a sword within it's sheath.

Haruko slashes the air, with the help of Rias and Natalia releasing their Powers of Destruction, completely destroying the web.

"I see, so this is the most destructive of the 8 Maken, Murakumo," said the mysterious girl. "Now, pull out your sword and we'll decide the winner."

"That's impossible," Haruko answered. "Heaven's Gate opens its seal according to the intensity of my emotions and the opponent's strength. I won't be able to pull it out with just you. Still, since I'm a little angry, some power…"

"Stop joking around!" the mysterious girl yelled as she dashes forward and throws her weapon, but Natalia simply used her lightning power to destroy the device.

"Now, leave my cute servants alone!" Natalia shouted as she punched the mysterious girl, HARD!

"Lady Natalia!" Uruchi shouted as she runs to Natalia's huge chest. "I'm sorry."

"It's all right. It's all over," said Rias, hugging Uruchi as well, comforting her. "You did well, Haruko."

"Thanks, my Lady," Haruko replied with a slight blush on her face before looking at Uruchi. "Geez, you ruined your cute face. You're a Shikkoubu member, aren't you? Get a grip."

"Yes," Uruchi said in agreement.

"I'm also very sorry," Takeru apologized who finally managed to get up. "I was acting pretty conceited this morning. But I couldn't do anything. I apologize, President and Minaya."

"I asked you not to contact them, so we're even," Uruchi said.

"I'll learn from you and train a lot," Takeru said, making Rias smile.

However, they still have ONE more surprise in store for them, and it's a BIG one!

Everyone, including Takeru, who lacked any talent whatsoever as a Devil, felt an immensely powerful and evil presence suddenly appear. And it was outside the old school building, which the rest of Rias' peerage were in.

'What is this?!' was the unanimous thought that ran through their heads. They all rushed to the Old School Building to see the rest of the Maken-Ki and the ORC members to see what was the cause for such a twisted presence to appear. They all became shocked at what they saw.

There was some sort of creature that was easily 5 meters tall standing there. It had pure crimson eyes, obsidian black skin that seemed to shine green where the light shone on it. It appeared to be roughly humanoid in shape, with a very muscular build. Sharp grey claws adorned its eight fingers and two thumbs and its jaws were lined with multiple razor sharp, silver teeth. And the strangest part? It has no eyes, though it's body seems to constantly emit a thin, grey smoky aura.

"Wh-What is this?" both Rias and Natalia asked in shock and fear.

The creature then threw back its head and roared. The sound sent deathly chills down their spines.

** At the Teacher's Office **

(Dayo's POV)

It was another long day, when I suddenly a loud roar from out of the blue, and I had a BIG idea on what it is.

"Dayo!" Zangetsu told me.

"Oh, this is kinda bad," Dark Dayo replied.

"Don't tell me that's…" I said.

"Yes! It's a NOVA Monster. And it's a Type-F class: Force!" Zangetsu clarified.

"You know what that means?" Dark Dayo asked in excitement.

"Yes," I replied. "It's time."

** At the Old School Building **

(3rd-Person POV)

The NOVA Monster began to charge at the 2 groups, making them all scatter to avoid it.

"Chacha! Azuki! Yumi!" Rias and Natalia yelled.

"Right!" the 3 girls responded with Azuki and Chacha's Maken already activated as they attacked the monster with punches and large ninja stars, and Yumi's 2 demonic swords.

But they never got the chance as the Monster swatted them away before their attacks could even connect, as if they're annoying flies. They all impacted the ground harshly, forming 3 craters.

"Chacha!" Kimi screamed.

"Azuki! Yumi!" Rias and Natalia screamed.

"We'll heal them! Come on, Asia!" Aki ordered.

"Yes!" Asia replied as they quickly ran to their fallen comrades, who are badly brushed from just one attack.

"Akeno! Himegami! Haruko!" Rias and Natalia called.

"Right!" the other 3 girls replied.

"I'm going in too!" Minori replied with her Maken activated.

They and Rias and Natalia all blasted their attacks to the Monster, along with Haruko's Maken, which was now at 25% power. But to everyone's surprise, their attacks didn't harm the monster in the slightest. In fact, it simply shrugged it off as nothing, before moving at the speed of light, and smacking all 6 of them into the wall.

"Buchou! Lady Natalia! Akeno! Himegami! Haruko!" Inaho and Uruchi screamed.

"We're okay, everyone," Rias replied.

"But we can't move," said Akeno.

"Just…how powerful is this thing?!" Haruko asked, surprised that her Maken did NOTHING to the Monster whatsoever.

"This thing…it's easily a powerful high class creature!" said Natalia in fear and excitement.

Takeru, Inaho, Uruchi, Kengo, Kimi, Furan, Yuka, and Koneko were all frozen in place. If the most powerful members of the teams couldn't even lay a dent in that Monster, they won't stand a ghost of a chance!

Then suddenly, they all watched in horror as the Monster uses its Freezing ability on Asia, Aki, and the unconscious Yumi, Chacha and Azuki, and then, a neon-green light began shining from the creature's mouth. It then opened its mouth and shot a laser-like attack (Think Cero from Bleach) straight towards them!

"Asia! Ms. Nijou!" Takeru and Kengo screamed.

Everyone looked on in horror as the beam of death raced towards the 2 nurses, who were both frightened and couldn't move due to the Monster's freezing ability. They then knew that their lives would end right here, right now….

….but it never came.

Suddenly, a spinning sword came out of nowhere and blocked the attack, negating it completely. The sword then stabbed into the ground.

"!"

The sword was large; very large. As long as someone's full body and looked like an oversized Khyber knife. They followed the cloth that was attached to the handle, looking in the direction that the sword had come from. They saw a black figure completely mysterious in a black dress, with white eyes showing while being dressed in a black shikakusho, holding the cloth in his hand.

"Hmph," he said, as he yanked the sword out the ground and it returned to him.

Rias, Natalia, Akeno and Kodama's eyes all widened in shock as they looked at the person.

To them, it looked like Dale 'Kurosaki' Deviluke in his Tuxedo Mask form, but to us, it is indeed Dale 'Kurosaki' Deviluke.

The NOVA Monster roared at Dale's arrival. It was angered that someone had blocked its attack, but it had also sensed the power of the being that had transported Dale within him.

"I think it might be a good idea for you guys to take a step back and stay out of the way," he told the others.

"What! You can't fight that! You'll get killed!" Inaho shouted.

"Don't worry, this is my job."

"!?"

"But first…"

Dale went to Haruko and saw her Maken.

"Let me try something…." he said as he took the sword out of Haruko's hand, surprising everyone.

"You may be strong with this Maken, but I hate to tell you the harsh reality: You're not strong enough to see its Full Power," said Dale, making Haruko widen her eyes in total disbelief.

Everyone else gasped at this situation as well.

"Let me show you all how it's done….FULL POWER!" Dale shouted, and what happens next shocks everyone!

The sword then began to grow twice its normal size and emitted a heavy, divine aura, in which most of the Devils fell to the floor, trying to not lose their consciousness. Then, he looked at the NOVA Monster.

"You seem to be pretty strong," he commented. "Looks like I can't mess around, especially with these lot here in the danger zone."

He then pushed its clawed hand away, making it stagger. Taking the opening, he flash-stepped right up to it and slashed its exposed torso with the improved Murakumo.

The Monster roared in pain and stepped back, out of Dale's range. Or so it thought. Dale then flash-stepped again and slashes the Monster's left arm, severing it, due to it moving at the last second.

"You're quite quick," Dale stated as he appeared above the fragment via flash-step. "But not quick enough!"

The last attack was released from directly above the Monster. It cut through it from above and travelled down, bisecting it from the head. As Dale landed, the Monster broke down into shadowy particles and vanished permanently. He then put Zangetsu back onto his back, the cloth automatically wrapping around it.

The 2 groups all watched in shock as this one person took out a powerful high class monster that not even Haruko could take down.

Dale looked at the sword and said, "It's just as I thought. Haruko. Your Maken may be Murakumo, but it's actually a Holy Sword and Divine Sword by the name of Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi (Sword of the Gathering Clouds of heaven)."

Saying this all caused great gasps of shock all around, especially with Yumi Kiba, who was clearly angry.

'That Maken…is actually a Holy Sword!? Impossible!' Yumi thought.

Then he looked at Rias.

"And as for you Rias Gremory. You may think that you and your servants are strong. How wrong you are. Yes Rias, you and your entire peerage are weak."

That last word broke Rias' pride like a ton of bricks.

"You know I've been keeping tabs on all of the new and upcoming devils. Rias, you have THE most dysfunctional peerage I know of…"

Rias felt more than insulted as tears began running down her face, but Dale didn't stop there.

"First, you have a Knight with mental problems due to her hatred of Holy Swords, and then you have a Queen who fights with only half the strength due to her hatred of her Father, and to top it off, your Rook is a Nekoshou who can't use Senjutsu, but her sister can! And a Dhampir which you were not able to control…and the list goes on…and on…and on…!"

Akeno, Yumi, and Koneko all had dark looks on their faces when they were reminded of the one thing they hate the most.

Natalia, Takeru and Kengo were ticked. To see Rias crying made their bloods boil.

"Just who are you, and how do you know my sister and her servants?!" Natalia growled, unleashing her Killer Intent.

"Ah! And one more thing! I totally forgot to mention THE weakest user of Divine Dragovian, one of the few Sacred Gears that has a Dragon Lord in the history of the Underworld. And to be frank with you Rias, I hold SO much more power in the tip of my finger then, you, your entire peerage, AND Natalia and her peerage hold in your very body."

Rias now had free tears running down her cheek. Dale felt very guilty in crushing Rias' pride. He never wanted to make her cry, but it had to be done, and for good reason…

"And I hope you train your servants at maximum power, because in less than 2 weeks, your significant other will be here to pick you up," Dale said, shocking Rias to her very core, as she realized that HE was coming soon, and she HATES him with a passion. "So, if you want to win your freedom, you better do something to your servants, and quick!"

And with that, Dale as Tuxedo Mask disappears underneath a black hole.

'It can't be…to think that HE….I hope it's a rumor! I JUST have to hope it's a rumor!' Rias thought to herself.

Just then, Dale/Dayo, in his normal form, along with the Deviluke sisters came over to see what happened.

"W-What in the world?!" Nana asked.

"Sorry, we're late," Dale said, trying not to blow his cover. "But I had to care of some…extra work before coming over. What was that thing?"

"It was a huge monster, and the masked man defeated it by using Haruko's Maken, which transformed into a Holy Sword!" Natalia answered.

"A Holy Sword?!" Momo, Nana and Lala asked in disbelief.

And just as I about to say something…

"There you are, Professor Kurosaki!"

…in came the giant muscular guy by the name of Kai Kurogasa.

"And just what do you want?" Dale asked Kai.

"I've heard word that you live Asia, Yuuma, and many other girls from the Chichiizumi Mansion!" Kai exclaimed, making everyone but Asia gasp and Takeru and Kengo were looking at Dale with envious looks.

"Wow…word travels fast," Dale said to himself before looking back at Kai. "Look buddy, I'm trying to get these guys back up, so we'll talk later, okay?"

"Listen, I came all the way to find out so we can fight again!" Kai exclaimed.

"Fine, but only after I take care of these girls. They are hurt and needs some treatment," Dale answered.

"W-Wait, on what grounds do you wish to fight him?" Takeru quickly asked.

"On the grounds that I feel he's just using many of the girls and his stats as a teacher for his own gain," said Kai, quickly angering Dale/Dayo.

"What did you just say?!" Dale slowly asked with a HUGE tickmark on his forehead.

The 2 groups knew that Kai just made a BIG mistake and Dale/Dayo is now going to make him pay!

"You only want to see this status for your own pleasure to get more girls to like and I won't allow it!" Kai yelled as he was ready to fight Dale, only for him to immediately regret what he said as a GIANT wave of Killer Intent flew around Dale as Kai started sweating bullets and the others fell unconsciousness, and at the same time, gained attention to many other students from the 3 Divisions.

Dale then grabbed Kai by the collar and actually lifted him off the air!

"Whoa!" Takeru and Kengo said with shock at how strong Dale/Dayo was.

Once Kai hit the floor, and HARD by the way, he then saw Dale above him with his leg up and hit his face hard with an axe kick, and then he quickly dashed at Kai and punched him in the gut, sending him to a wall, creating a Giant crater.

Almost everyone in the entire area gasped as they saw Dayo/Dale with such anger in his veins look to Kai right in the face.

"Now listen here, and listen well!" Dayo/Dale said in a cold tone. "I am not some bastard who uses women for his own personal gain or pleasure; I am a man who respects women, not someone who treats them as toys. I respect the ORC and the Maken-Ki, as well as the entire student body in this school! And I take the role and responsibility of being a teacher VERY seriously! And if you ever say that I'm with Asia or any other female like some sort of possession ever again, I will rip your head right out of your spine and then stick it so far up your *ss that you'll never see a girl again! And we'll meet as eternal enemies you'll see the exact moment when you crap yourself from fear in sensing my presence!"

"W-Wow…" Azuki said with such respect for Dale.

"He's actually getting pretty good at the threats," said Kodama.

"Your punishment is having no Battles for 2 months, and Remedial Classes for the rest of the school year!"

Everyone gasped at what Dale said to Kai, especially him, who just fainted from hearing that.

And as Dale lets go of Kai, he looked at the Perverted Trio, who clearly peeing themselves and said, "Oh, and don't think that I haven't forgotten about YOU guys. Especially with stealing Akeno's underwear in the locker room."

And as soon as Dale said that, many of the girls close in on Issei, Motohama, and Matsuda as they were beaten up by the girls as well.

"Now, to all of the other men and boys around this school, if you try and do something like these 4 boys did, then you'll suffer too!" Dale/Dayo threatened to the rest of the boys in the area, making them scatter out of the area like cockroaches.

Suddenly, Akeno became all hot and bothered and had a heavy blush on her face.

And then, there were suddenly sounds of cheering from many of the girls from the 3 Divisions.

"He's such a gentleman!"

"So sweet!"

"And yet so strong!"

"He's certainly not like the rest of the guys here at school."

"Thanks for defending our gender's honor, Professor Kurosaki."

"Professor Kurosaki, all the way!"

"You're the coolest."

"You're awesome!"

"You rule!"

"You're the greatest guy ever to come to Tenryou!"

"Great, it happened again," chuckled Momo while Nana sighed. "He now has a clan of fangirls."

Dale simply held the bridge of his nose before walking away. Lala happily followed him.

Rias, however, was no longer crying in sadness. She was now crying in tears of joy. Why? Because Dale/Dayo said that he treats women and girls with respect and kindness, and don't treat them as objects.

Unlike HIM

** At the Brains Division **

Sona and Tsubaki saw all of this, and they were WAY beyond impressed.

"I got to say…that was VERY interesting," Sona said as she adjusted her glasses.

"For him to have SUCH power and authority, just he's almost the same age as us…" Tsubaki followed.

"There are no 2 questions in mind. We're going to pay them a little visit," Sona simply said before walking back to the Student Council room. She was now VERY curious on what Dayo/Dale can do.

** At the Brawn Division Dorms **

Remember when Takeru had a bad feeling earlier?

"Ta-ke-ru…" said Dokuro in a threatening manner.

Yeah….It's coming back to kill him, and Dokuro holding her spiked club Excalibolg proves it.

"I made lunch for you to cheer you up, and yet you ignore me the entire time, and now, it's been wasted…" Dokuro said.

"Wa-Wait! I can explain!" Takeru protested, but fell to deaf ears once again.

"No explaining," said Dokuro before she unleashed HELL!

Poor Takeru as the room painted Red from his own blood.

"Pipiru-piru-piru-pipiru-pi!" sang Dokuro as Takeru got revived, only to be killed by Dokuro, again, and again, and again….

** Somewhere around the Sewers **

Jin, the man who escaped from Black Label's attack, walked down the small, murky waters.

"How could this happen…" he said to himself. "How dare you kill that idiot! I was finally in a position where I could control everything. I won't forget this. I won't! I'll get you for this!"

** At a Mysterious Place **

A girl was watching something on 6 screens and said, "Everything is going according to plan so far. The cargo ship has left port on schedule, and its route is being tracked via satellite. We only got one shot at this, so make sure you're ready on time."

"Ready on time?" asked a woman. "Who are you saying that to?"

"You know, someone who's in that general direction," answered the girl.

"What do you mean, someone?" asked a redheaded busty girl, whose breasts are only covered with black markings. "You think I'm going to mess this up?"

"Don't let everything get to you," answered another mysterious voice in a mask. "We don't need a heated atmosphere. Don't fight, you guys. Teamwork, teamwork."

"As for more pressing matters…We're sure the goods are on the ship, right?" asked another redheaded girl, who happens to be the other twin.

"Probably," the green haired girl answered.

"Probably?" asked the first redhead. "Why don't you do your own legwork?"

"I know what I'm doing," answered the green-haired girl as she began typing. "If my information network tells me 'probably,' then it's definitely the case. I'll leave the rest to you guys."


Time before curse comes into Full Effect: 1 year, 9 months, 2 days, 12 hours, 26 minutes, 25 seconds.

ED Song: Comforter by Shai


Next time on Maken-Ki DxD…

Knowing that time may not be on her side, Rias and Natalia decide to get a Familiar for Takeru, Kengo, Inaho, and Asia, only to have the Student Council of the Brains Division challenge them. All the while, they don't realize that Dayo is the Caretaker of the Familiars.

Plus, Detective Tatara tries to interrogate Mrs. Fujino (the rescued hostage), but Mochizuki General Hospital Hospital's staff frustrate his attempts. Dr. Mochizuki and Dayo congratulates their agents and announces that Ampoule One is formed with Mikoto, Oriha, Takashi, Rei, Kohta, and Saeko.

And later, Jin kidnaps Mrs. Fujino and his henchman Yoroida fatally runs over the elder Mrs. Kimura, one of Yuuko's patients, during the kidnapping. At an abandoned apartment complex, Jin and his men await for the vigilantes while Jin gives Fujino a drug known as Platinum Lily. And when Tatara tries to save Fujino, the drugged woman backstabs him, and when Mikoto tries to help him, Konomi Suzue, Tatara's partner enters the room, only to be taken hostage by Jin's thugs.

But not to worry, because Ampoule Zero and Ampoule Minus One are there to save them and won't hesitate to kill.

As you can see, the action and fighting, and even fanservice, never stops! And it's only going to be bigger, better, and badder on the next episode of Maken-Ki DxD: Battle Busters!


And done! And just in time before Christmas, so consider this chapter as not only my gift to you, but also the last chapter of 2015, so I hope you enjoy the Holidays.

Oh, and thank God that James The Kid is off this website! He not only copied off a story from YagamiNguyen called Soundless Knight, but he also insulted Deaf People by calling them "lossers", and he can't even spell losers right! Good riddance!

And how did I do on Dale/Dayo in the Tuxedo Mask form insulting Rias and her Peerage as a whole, crushing their pride, only to have it rekindled after dealing with Kai in his normal form? Let me know via your review.

Also, our condolences to all of the victims from Paris Massacre and the San Bernadino shooting as they both connect from ISIS, which somehow gave me fire into coming into this story, strangely enough. One thing's for sure: Our good President Obama is going to do whatever it takes to stop ISIS, and so does the rest of the world. For these senseless gun battles MUST CEASE!

Now, when 2016 comes, expect another chapter here and Dating from the Supernatural soon. Boy, what a year 2015 was, as this was a milestone year for me, and I will never forget for years to come.

So, with all that said, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year 2016, and read and review, and no flames! Flames will be ignored!
