High School DxD: Fallen Redemption

By: Terrence Noran

Chapter 11: Tragedy

"Yuuma-chan, we'll be home a bit late. Just wait for us, we have a surprise for you."

"Sure, Kaa-san."

"See you." And the door closed.

*RING* *RING* Yuuma's phone rang.

'It's him again. What does he want?' "Kuro, what?"

"Hey, Ray. You have anything to do?"

"Uh, no."

"Great! I'll be coming over...and uh the ORC will be coming along."

"If this is about me coming back to join you and accepting forgiveness, I'll still need time to think about it."

"This has nothing to do with anything about that. I tell you, it's different this time."

"That's what you said last time...then you started to beg for me to come back."

"No, I swear it's different this time. It's much more important than that. One more thing."

"What?"

"Expect more visitors." He dropped the call.

After a while

A magic circle appeared and out came the ORC and unsurprisingly, Kuro, in his ninja-like outfit.

"Hey, long time, no see."

"It's only been two days."

"Yeah, that qualifies as long time. Also, aren't you gonna change 'forms'?"

"No."

"Okay then."

"Hi Asia-chan, Issei-kun, the rest of you...and is that Riser's sister?"

"Yeah, I forgot to tell you."

"Never mind. So, what do you want to talk about?"

"Remember the time I told you about Kokabiel and what he's planning?"

"Yeah, and you got it from your 'anonymous' Fallen Angel informants."

"Well, you're all meeting them today. Also, you should be surprised." He raised his hand and formed a magic circle and the ones that came out shocked everybody, except Kuro.

"Kalawarner, Mittelt, Dohnaseek, you're all alive?", asked Yuuma, who was tearing up.

"In the flesh, Raynare-chan.", Kalawarner replied.

Yuuma responded by rushing over and hugging them, crying in joy that she was reunited. They accepted and hugged back, along with Mittelt crying as well.

"How were they alive?", Rias asked.

"Yeah, about that..." Kuro pulled his sake from seemingly out of nowhere and bit off the cork, spat it out, and started drinking. "...when you fired your Power of Destruction at them, I saved them at the last second, leaving their afterimages behind."

"That still doesn't explain the feathers found after you rescued them."

"I carried a big bag of black feathers I collected as well as a little bit of theirs along with the pile."

"You planned this out, didn't you?"

"Yeah, including the deal with Ray."

The doorbell rang.

"Ray, just continue your sobby moment. I'll get the door." He opened the door, only to see Azazel outside.

"Yo."

"Shut up and get in."

"Right."

The other Fallen Angels stopped their moment and stared at their leader. The Devils glared at him.

"Yo."

"Where's Baraqiel?"

"He'll be late."

"WHAT?! THAT BASTARD IS COMING HERE?!", Akeno yelled."

"I invited him here. He wants to talk things with you."

"I will never talk to someone like him."

"Whether you like it or not, he's coming here."

"Right on."

"Azazel, shut up, unless you want me talking about your 'experiment' to recreate Issei's Dress Break."

"Noooooooooo."

The four fallen angels sweatdropped at their leader's antics.

"Azazel-sama, we're sorry for what happened at the church.", Dohnaseek began.

"We thought we could gain your respect.", Kalawarner continued.

"And help Raynare-san with her goal.", Mittelt finished.

"That alright, all is forgiven. Let's start anew. Anyway, it was Kokabiel that put that idea into her head and commanded Ray-chan to do such things."

"About Kokabiel, hmm?", Kuro reminded.

"Oh, right. Some time ago, Kokabiel stole three Excaliburs from one of the churches in Rome and is plotting to start another Great War."

"According to the three here, he's being assisted by stray exorcist Freed Zelan, perhaps you've heard of him..."

The devils and fallen angels nodded.

"...and Valper Galilei, an ex-Grigori."

"Kokabiel just came back three days ago and hid in a church somewhere not far from Kuoh Academy."

"Of course, the Church retaliated by sending their own exorcists, both Excalibur wielders as well. I'm sure that Kiba here wants some payback."

They looked towards Kiba, who had a dark look to his face.

"I'll take that as a yes. The exorcists are already here, and I believe that Issei is familiar with one of them."

"Huh? Who?"

"You don't remember do you? Well, fuck it. You'll see."

A loud siren was heard all throughout the house, putting everyone on high alert.

"DANGER! DANGER! A TEXT MESSAGE HAS BEEN DETECTED!", a high pitched robotic sound was heard.

"THREAT DEACTIVATED. SAFE TO VIEW, KAGEYAMA."

They looked towards Kuro who was checking his phone. "What? I wanted to make my phone sound badass."

"Says you.", Yuuma deadpanned.

Nighttime

Many things have sure happened in Yuuma's life, some of it unexpected by the way. Being reunited with her fellow fallen angel friends, whom she thought were dead, was one of them. Although it's a shame that Issei couldn't talk to her, and she couldn't as well. Perhaps they weren't yet ready for their reconciliation, maybe another time. She bid farewell to them as the visitors left her house via magic circle some hours ago. She now waits for her foster family to come home and find out what her surprise was waiting to be unveiled.

*RING* *RING*

Her phone rang. "Hello."

"Is this Yuuma Amano?", a man asked.

"Yes. Who is this?"

"This is Officer Kurosaki. Your family has been involved in an accident earlier."

Her eyes widened. This must not be happening right now. "No, this is a joke right?"

"I assure you, this is not a joke."

"A-are they okay?" 'No. This isn't happening, right? Right?!'

"Your sister is recovering from her injuries, but..."

"But?"

"Your parents...they did not make it, I'm sorry."

Her world stopped. Tears rolled down face. She dropped her phone.

"Hello? Miss Amano?"

She cried heavily. A magic circle appeared on her body, releasing dark energy like never before. As she let more of her feelings out, a dark pillar of energy emerged from the magic circle. Everything and everyone in the supernatural world sensed it, including Azazel himself.

With Azazel

"No way, this reading is off the charts. That can't be..."it", right? I gotta tell Kuro."

Underworld

"So, Karla, Xue, ready to come back?"

"Yeah, it's boring to be here. Riser's strong but is an idiot with women.", Xuelan commented.

"So, how is he?"

"He's recovering, just don't let him see you or Issei-san.", Karlamine informed.

"Or saying, 'Dragon'.", Mira added.

"Who invited you?"

"No one, just wanted to come with you. I hate that guy."

"Oh, so you're one of the girls that were brainwashed, so how's freedom?"

"Fucking great. Also, not just me, them too." She pointed to the people behind her.

He saw the rest of Riser's peerage, except Yubelluna, standing right there, waiting for him.

"Thank you, Kuro-sama. We will fight for you, please take care of us!", they all shouted.

'Would you look at that? A harem of girls just for me, entrusted by that idiot's deal.'

A loud farting sounding was heard, then it stopped. Karlamine and Xuelan looked towards Kuro, who was checking his phone. "What? I just wanted to make my phone sound awesome."

'Says you.', they all thought.

"What, Azazel? Done experimenting?"

"...No, not that. But this is something even important."

"Yeah, what?"

"Get to Raynare's house now!"

"Calm down, man. She's okay."

"You don't understand! The seal...her seal..."

"What about it?"

"It broke."

"Oh, fuck me in the ass..."

A/N: I know what I said earlier, but I couldn't resist writing this chapter. I'm writing the Naruto one right now and I'm starting the Sekirei one and planning the Kill la Kill one. So, what was Raynare's seal all about? What was about it that made Azazel worried and Kuro as well. Read, Review, Comment, and Critic without bullshit. Have fun and enjoy.
