Chapter 9: The fruit of life

Jamal's POV

"Well well well…what do we have here? It seems like a shitty little devil that wants to die has come near dear old freed!" The now named freed says

I turn around and see a guy with grayish hair, standing 5'10 with a sword in his hand. He smiles and dashes off at me and swings his sword. I ignite my finger with ki and stop it with one finger. He goes wide eyed and stared to back up slowly. He puts on a worried smile and charges at me only to get punched in the gut with my flames ignited also. He starts to stagger backwards and coughs up blood. He looks up and says.

"Damn your one strong devil. What's your name devil boy!" Freed ask

"Ha well just to humor you my name is Jamal Swift, I am the red dragon emperor!"

"Shit! I've heard about your power! Didn't think I would get the chance to kill your sorry ass so soon though!" Freed shouts while running towards me

I start to backpedal and I I put my foot in the ground and punch him in the face, then elbow him in the gut and kick him in the ribs. He flys through the forest leaving trees broken and destroyed on his path. I start to finally stretch my muscle and get a sweat going, he shouldn't of attacked me! I had just got my Zenkai boost from fighting against Riser too so my power is even higher!

He gets out the trees with his clothes destroyed and his sword having cracks all over it. He screams and takes off at a pace way slower than Kiba, if he fought Kiba he would get his butt whooped if he's only this fast! Once he reaches me and starts slashing at me trying to cut what ever he can of me, I see a opening and punch the sword breaking it in pieces, I then ki blast his arm clean off. He screams and falls to the ground in pain.

I fly up to the sky and power up my white aura to the point I have lightning around me! I start to charge a move I've been working on for a while in my hands. And scream!

"Galick Gun…FIRE"

The giant purple blast hits head on and creates a huge flashing light close to the ground. I sense the guys power drop to almost 0…that blast was meant to kill him, I guess I didn't put enough energy In it. I fly down to see half a man with his arms burned off and him missing one leg. He looks shell shocked at the power I displayed! I guess I don't know my own po-woah… now that's a high power right there!

"Seems like you mutilated my priest…shame on you red dragon emperor! Haha… but that was quite the show of power though. Sadly I can't have you kill him here." The voice says

"I'm guessing you're the fallen angel that Vali told me about?"

"Yes my name is kokabiel, I'm a fallen angel of the leader class! I'm not in kuoh for long, I was here just to see how well it was to start a war here. And it seems perfect…so I'll be back soon red dragon emperor! I bid you fare well!" He says as he levitates Freed and teleports away.

The creepy dude was weak and slow, but the fallen angels power…it was stronger than me at full power. Even stronger than me in dragon force! They don't call him leader class for nothing I guess, but…if he's already stronger than me, when he gets the damn fruit he's gonna be unstoppable! Me and Kenji wouldn't be able to beat him together but fused maybe!

I've been looking into ways to fuse with people and there's one way the saiyan's used. It's called the fusion dance…cliché I know but it really works too! It adds me and Kenji's power together and significantly multiplies it too! That could definitely make me and Kenji a insane tag team. Maybe the best of all time!

But that's not the issue here…I Gotta tell Rias tomorrow, well even if I don't she still finds out some how. I still have no clue how they do it too! It's like there stalking me, if they are they need to stop cause I do weird things when I'm alone. If they cut into my anime time I might have to start swinging ya know! Wait what the hell am I thinking about! I need to get home.

Half way through my walk I sense someone fighting each other. Seems like on of them is Jessica and the other one is…a Human with a holy sword! So I go at full speed and intercept both of their fist with my hands. There are 2 people with cloaks on and Jessi was wearing tight jeans with a tight red shirt on. Jessica must've been getting whooped because her clothes were looking quite awful. They both back up, I feel Jessi's power lower and the cloaked persons power rise. Seems like she's very weary of me…well while I'm here I might as well ask what's going on!

"So Jessi, who's this your fighting?"

"This is a exorcist, and the other one over there is too! They looked like they wanted trouble and I didn't want my town getting destroyed!" Jessi says

"That was the dumbest thing you could've done. Well since you've already seen me block 2 super powered punches, I think we should all share who we are! So you 2 who are you and what faction do you work for, or I can force you!" I say as I am letting out my Ki/ dragon aura

"Hmp my name is Xenovia. We are exorcist working for heaven." The now named Xenovia says

"My name is Irina, we are here on matters of the fruit of life and a stolen Excalibur!"

"And you Jessica?"

"My name is Jessica turner, I am A Dragon and a vampire. I mostly work alone." Jessica says

"Okay, since we are done with our introductions, let me tell you who I am. I'm Jamal Swift, I'm a devil and a dragon. I'm also the red dragon emperor!"

"Oh! That's why your power was so much like mine in a way!" Jessi say

"Yeah, you notice to I see! So, now that we are all introduced let me say something. Hey you two girls over there!"

"Yes?" Xenovia says

"I'm guessing those 2 swords are holy swords? And I'm guessing y'all are here to stop kokabiel?"

"Yes, he has taken a Excalibur piece and is pursuing the fruit of life. If he gets the fru-" Irina was saying before I cut her off

"Don't worry about him, I can take care of him! But…if he gets the fruit he will be trouble. But I also have a plan if he gets the Fruit!"

"Oh seems like your well prepared Jamal! That's just like you!" Jessi says

"Yeah, well I don't want y'all fighting anymore…only because we are all on the same team right now. None of us want the fallen to win so we are all on the same team! I'll tell my mas- the president about this. So bye!" I say as I take off and fly into the air.

I make it home rather quickly and make it to the bed. I see Asia in the bed Sleep with Lucy sleep next to her. Both are quite cute when they aren't fighting…welp it's been a long night, I'm gonna hit the hay!

Monday afternoon

"So your telling me that a leader class fallen angel is in my town, with a Excalibur, and is trying to pursue the fruit of life which will also raise his power 25x. And how do you know this is kokabiel?" Says Rias

"Well…it might sound odd but…he wrote his name all over the vault that held the swords." Irina says

"Oh wow…that's quite the form of bragging. Why'd he only take 1?" Akeno says

"He's thinking if he gets the fruit it won't matter what if he has them then." Xenovia says

Oh let me explain the situation. So after school we were chilling in the club room then I sensed Irina and Xenovia's power, I told Rias what happened already and she let them in also. Xenovia told them what happened with us and now here we are.

"Well we can't let him get that fruit can we?" Rias says

"No…that's why we need your help. No matter how much I don't like devils, the red dragon emperor's power is to high to not have his help. So please help us take down the fallen!" Xenovia says

"Wait…you 2 own an Excalibur right?" Kiba says

"Oh yeah, I have the Excalibur mimic and Xenovia has the Durandal. Is something the problem?" Irina says

"Mmm…I want to ma-" Kiba says before I cut him off

"You guys seem strong! Wanna have a spar real quick? I mean I don't want the people I'm working with to be weak right?!" I say

"What he said but…if I win I will destroy the 2 swords you two own!" Kiba says menacingly

"We agree to this spar! And if you beat us you can destroy them…only because we shouldn't be losing to you devils."

So after that we walk outside and me and Kiba stand close to the 2 exorcist. I'm in front of Irina and he's in front of Xenovia.

"Remember guys this is a test of power. So no killing…JAMAL! This means you mostly. Okay everyone ready? FIGHT!" Rias says

I start to back pedal as Irina comes at me quick, she makes a whip and grabs my arm and pulls me close to her and kicks me right in the stomach! I recoil then punch her in the face and she fly's into a tree. She the somehow gets behind and try's to stab me but I do a flip and blast her into the ground. She gets up but by the time she sees me I land a strong right hook into her face.She gets out the tree and dust her self off and says.

"Wow…you got a mean right hook on you there dragon boy! But don't think I'm done yet" Irina says

She makes a sword and starts slicing at me quickly, I ignite my hands with Ki and Holy Fire So her holy blade won't burn me. She starts to slash at me and I'm blocking each one. I see a opening and upper cut her into the sky and scream.

"RED DRAGON ROAR"

It hits her head on, she hits the ground hard and stays on it for a little bit. Once she gets up I notice her clothes are burned and look like her chest is a bit exposed. Looks like she's got a nice pair of-damnit brain stop being so perverted! We are in a fight! She smiles and takes off at me quickly. She gets behind me quick and slices my back. Only to find out my my skin can't burn, because of the holy fire I have around me I can't get hurt.

"Woah…how does a devil have Holy fire?!" She says

"Well I'll tell you how later. But your little holy magic can't hurt me! It seems like all you have now is your sword human girl!"

I spin around and kick her in the face, fly to the the place she was gonna land at and slam her face into the dirt kind of softly cause she still is a girl ya know! I let go of her face and sit down on her stomach and say.

"Give up?"

"Yes yes yes, now get off me you big dragon!" Irina shouts

We both get up and I look over at Kiba and see he has Xenovia on the ground with the the sword behind him. He leaves her on the ground beaten and walks over to the sword and charges up his demonic energy about to destroy it. I can't let him do that, so I fly towards him and punch him in the stomach as hard as I can. He passes out on the spot. Looks like he got stronger…he beat her bad. He had some damage but not nearly as bad as her! So I help her up and she walks over to Irina, grabs her hand and walks in front of me and says.

"Red dragon emperor…your power is a power high enough to earn my respect…I'm glad I have partners with such power to help us. Tomorrow we will search for the Excalibur piece and for the fallen. Goodbye for now!" Says Xenovia

"Bye bye red dragon emperor! And everyone else!" Irina says

After this we all go back into the room and hangout. Kiba wakes up after some time and walks out to look for the Excalibur pieces…all by him self. I won't go help him…I know I wouldn't want anyone to help me if this situation came up for me. Rias decides to tell us how she found him. He was a survivor of some kind of project, everyone but him survived. She found him when he was running away and the rest is history.

It's obvious this means a lot to him so I'll make sure that we beat the fallen duchebag and then kill the one who put him through this pain! After we all talked for a bit we all decided to go home. I started walking home with Asia but then got a call from Kenji! Seems like he needs me for something. So I tell Asia I have to head off and I rocket off in the air to Kenji's energy signal.

Forest outside of kuoh town

I land right next to him and see 2 guys with cloaks on. What's with guys and having on cloaks man! But I digress…Hold up? Did he get taller?! I mean I know he got taller during our 4 month training but I didn't think it was this much! He looks about 5'9, and has a lot of hair on his head…he must've put the hair magic in his hair once we left training. He smiles at me and says.

"Aye man I've been task to look into these 2 guys…the first one was named Teinkinsman, the second was General Metow. The first one sounds quite familiar doesn't it?" Says Kenji

"Yeah…it does sound quite familiar. I've waited a year for this day…and it's finally time to end his miserable life! Kenji you take the general and I'll take Kinsman."

"Got it bro! Remember, balls to the walls!" Kenji says as he runs off

I look at the man who killed my father (AN:go back to chapter 1, it says it there what happened) and charge up my Ki. I look at him and say.

"You you took my father and my mentor from me!"

"I don't even know who you are…" kinsman says(short for Teinkinsman. And if you can guess where I got Kinsman's line from, your awesome!)

"Well, I'm jamal Swift! You kill my father Jeremiah! Now I'm here to do the same thing you did to him!" I say as I take off at him

We clash fist and he uses his other hand to punch me into a tree. I get up and fly at him and punch him in the stomach but he grabs my forearm and punches me in the air and sledge hammers me. Okay okay, this guy hits really hard…I'm gonna have to go full strength here. So I power up to 100% and dash off at him and start trading blows. It ends once he elbows me in the stomach and blast me away with his ki.

I get up slowly and take off at him only to get roundhouse kicked and have him grab my leg and slam me into the ground multiple times. I lay in the ground for a split second before he tries to stomp on me, I roll all the way to the side and use my hand to throw my self up and punch him in the face. He takes a step back and that gives me time to blast him into a tree, which kicks up a lot of dust also.

Once the dust clears I see him with a few scratches and his shirt a bit ripped but that's it. I'm standing over here with my shirt ripped and my pants half gone. I build up a lot of fire in my hands and fly towards him and try to punch him in the face, he dodges and grabs my face and throws me into a rock. I stammer out the rock and look up to see a blast hit me directly, and the giant rock crashes down on me.

I get out the rubble with my shirt torn up and my clothes all messed up. I try to catch my breath but he flys at me and punches me in the gut, and kicks me into a tree. He starts punching me repeatedly and finishes it off with a blast that makes me hit Kenji. Seems like he's getting beat badly also. I gotta go dragon force or I won't be able to win. I look over to Kenji and say.

"Yo Ji…I hope you got a transformation in your pocket like I do…cause these guys are no joke!"

"Yeah I can't let you get to far ahead of me man, so I unlocked a sub balance breaker a little while ago." Kenji says

Kenji closes his eyes and screams

"Arctic circle!"

I feel the area around us get colder, his power as an angel and a werewolf together is unmatched. Oh some explaining is needed, I've never talked about Kenji power before. Kenji was a werewolf that died but Gabriel gave him new life. He was a werewolf before, but his parents never told him, he was killed by a fallen just like me and ended up having a sacred gear also. It's power is Centered around Ice and water…kinda like the opposite of mine. Fire and ice working together is deadly!

He told me when he came back he was so much stronger they had to do a Battle to see if he can earn his 2nd pair of wings! But he was so strong that he had to be given 2 extra pairs, so he has 4 wings right now! This form made Kenji have a icy aura and parts of his hair turned blue and his arms had parts of it frozen! That's sooooo cool, it's like my dragon force man!

"Wow Kenji…you sure are packing some power bro…"

"Yeah this form multiplys my power by 15x just like yours…but it's still not as strong as yours! So I'm going to beat him to show you how strong I am!" Screams Kenji

"HAHA ya man let's show these duchebag villain ripoffs how the Kame Brothers fight! DRAGON FORCE!"

I power up to 70% in dragon force and fly off at Kinsman and punch him through the forest. I grab his face and use my fire to burn his face off. And throw him in the air and sledge hammer him in the ground. He gets up stumbling and I see the general slam into him, and they growl at each other and take off at us. Kenji jabs him in the face and flys off after him. I fly down and throw a punch but he dodges, he throws a kick that I block. This goes on for a couple seconds then I see opening then dig a fist right into his face. He flys back into the ground and rolls a couple times. I fly off at him at full speed and try to hit him with a Flaming claw but I miss.

He catches his footing and throws a punch at me but I grab it and burn it to a crisp. He screams in pain and takes a step back only for me to get close and scream.

"HEAVENLY RED DRAGON ROAR!"

The dust clears and I see him with his clothes all burned up and his skin charred up. I start a barrage of punches and kicks into his vital organs. He coughs up blood and falls to the ground. I pick him up and throw him into a tree. I charge the the Ki in my hands and scream!

"MASENKO…HA!"

It goes towards him but he moved out of the way at the last second, it still blows half of his torso off! He crashes into the ground and is imoblized and is half dead. I see the general freeze and Kenji collect Ki and blow the ice away. All I see are his feet left and nothing left. Kinda a brutal thing for a angel to do…but his wings don't flicker at all so I guess it's part of his duty! Kenji walks over to me. I look at Kinsman and say.

"You took my father from me…I can't forgive you…"

I bring up my hand to blast him but I feel a faint feeling in. My heart telling me not too… I don't know what it is.

"Jamal you good bro…" Kenji says

"I can't kill him man…my dad wouldn't get revenge like this…"

My dad was one to always protect his family, but he always told me revenge isn't the way to cope with your loss. I'll kill a villain if they mess with my family but if I have to kill him for revenge…I just can't do it, I have to honor my father.

"We can't just leave him alive man…" Kenji whispers

"Kill him…because I can't do it man. I've beaten him, taken his pride and even taken his arm. But my dads main rule was killing for revenge never made you a better man."

Kenji looks at me and nods. He then makes a sword out of ice and slides his head off. The blast his body away. I look at him and fist bump him and we both fly off to our respective houses. I can't really get hype after behind reminded of my fathers brutal death, even if I beat his killer. By the time I make it home everyone is asleep and there's only a few plates of food left.

I sit down and scarf it down. While I was finishing the food I hear a door bell ring and when I open it I see Jessi! I let her in and we start just talking about random things, then she stops smiling and gets serious. She starts to talk about kokabiel power, I tell her that I can beat him without the fruit. She believes me but says do I have a plan if he does eat the fruit. I tell her.

"Well of course I do! There's a angel that I trained with that is almost as strong as me. If the fallen gets the fruit me and him will just take him out. No problem!"

"If you don't mind me asking...what's his name?" Jessi says

"His name is Kenji. He's half angel and other half h

"Oh! I've heard of his power! They say he is the strongest angel in the forces right now. If he comes like you say he will we should have no problem!" Jessica says

"Yeah, my plan is full proof if he gets the fruit! No way he can stand what I have planned for the fallen!"

She laughs and starts to gather her things. She then says

"Seems like your ready for a battle! I'll be there and lend you all the power I have. I've been training hard too so hope you'll acknowledge me!" She says as she walks to the door

"Haha of course, I can't wait to see how you fight! WAIT, how the hell do you know where I live! Wait come back" I scream as she walks out of sight

Damn girl been stalking me I bet. I go up stairs and take a long bath, I'm just sitting in there thinking. I get out the bath and head to bed, and see asia and Lucy as usual. I hope tomorrow is a better day…I've had like 13 fights today! I don't have infinite energy man. Well the dream world won't wait to much longer you know.

Two weeks later

"So the fallen said he was gonna attack the school tonight to officially restart the Great War right?" Rias says

"Yeah, me and him had a confrontation and that's what he said. Can't believe this man…I get to fight a super strong fallen angel dude! Ahhh I'm so excited!" I say in a super kiddish voice

I might sound exited, but These past 2 weeks have been hell. We've had to kill people left and right. There's all these evil priest we had to slay and then freed was killed by me and Kiba yesterday. Well I was just watching Kiba slashed him most of the time. I guess even when he had the Excalibur piece in his sword he still couldn't do shit against Kiba's speed. I feel like Kiba is close to his balance breaker…every time he fights I can feel his emotions run wild and his power sky rocket! All he needs is a push…I think I know what the push is too.

Yesterday we were searching for Kokabiel and he must've been trying to fight something or someone cause his energy flared to life and that aloud me to track him. By the time I got there he already had the other fighter beat and had the fruit! He took it right under our nose too! Xenovia and Irina couldn't find the fruit the whole time…maybe if we could've found the guy with the fruit we could've stopped him. Now we gotta fight a super powered fallen angel. Not like I'm actually complaining about a challenge this good! My Saiyan blood has been anticipating this fight for the 2 weeks leading up to it! I've been trying like crazy!

Right now we are talking in the ORC building and preparing for the battle. Seems like everyone is here…even Kiba who hasn't been showing up very often finally came! Seems like we got a chance to win, just hope Kenji shows up…he said Gabriel had him on a mission for the past few days and it might be trouble for him he says.

We got Sona's team to make a shield around the school. Maybe we should have Saji come to help us inside...OH! Saji is sona's pawn that she has picked up around the same time as me. He also has a dragon sacred gear, I haven't seen it in action...honestly I was really hoping I could today but guess not. Since the barrier is up none of our attacks can go into the city. So I can go full power without having to worry about the outside world. The time is currently 7:40 and the fallen angel is definitely on his way to the school. Ah he's close… I sense him a couple miles away, I just noticed he flys super quick. Maybe he has a jet pack to make him fly fas-.

"Hello devils, humans, dragons, and vampires(Jessica). I've come to start the next Great War, so I sugg-" kokabiel says before I cut him off

"Hey you little pale bastard! You cut my inner moulage off, I should kick your ass just for that! And that's exactly what I'm gonna do damnit!"

"Hahaha, well come at me little dragon boy, this should be a fight for the ages!" Kokabiel Says

Hm I guess it's me against him. Wait why the hell are there 2 giant dogs! And what the hell is that dude standing in front of Kiba doing! I'm so confused right now…does Rias want me to take them on or just the fallen? Cause nobody here is strong enough to even really scratch him right now to be completely honest besides me. I hear Rias clear her throat and look at me and scream.

"Jamal! Don't worry bout us, just focus on your fight with the kokabiel!" Rias cries

"HEAR YA LOUD AND CLEAR RED! Looks like it's just you and me fallen angel duchebag!"

"Seems like it is dragon boy! Hope your not scared cause I'm going to go full power and kill your sorry ass!" Says kokabiel in a cocky voice

"You talk a good game but can you back that up?! I hope you can cause your about to feel the full force of a TRUE SAIYAN WARRIOR!"

Hey y'all! Got this one out quick I think! I don't know how this chapter is to be honest...I think it's okay. Not as good as 8 but whatever. I added 3 fights in this chapter, hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it! Also I'm thinking of adding issei Into the story...just don't know as what yet. He's not gonna be a devil, I'm thinking of making him a type of god, or something else that is strong. Definitely look forward to that too. I won't change his personality, issei is my favorite harem protagonist, and one of my favorite protagonists of all time In general! So he's gonna be his perverted, funny, and smart mouthed guy that we all know. That's if I add him in...still thinking of a way so no promises. As usual tell me if you liked the chapter, if you post a review I will respond answering any questions you have, so check back after a bit. Till next time!
