Here you go. Rewritten chapter. Just a change in the fight scene is all to fit the new weapons.
I own nothing. Enjoy.
Issei spent four nights out in the wilderness, going up and down the alps along the Italian and French border, searching through the forest. Never once had he found what he was looking for, though every night, he knew he was being watched by someone. Someone who was obviously supernatural, but he or she was not the target. He had no idea who or even what gender, just that someone was there with a weapon.
It was the fifth day out there and the sun was high in the sky. It was a warm winter day though extreme temperatures never bothered him. He was conditioned to ignore it. Issei was currently coming upon a large clearing which was part of a path for hunters. A trail of game lead through this clearing. As he came upon the clearing, he immediately spotted a white haired female surrounded by six devils. The woman had a bow and arrow out, but she was surrounded and by the looks of it, she was out matched. At least one of the devils was an ultimate-class.
Issei immediately summoned Excalibur and his Sacred Gear to him. In his right hand was Excalibur in the form of his gauntlet and in his left was his sacred gear in the form of a Gladius. Which, was a Roman sword. His eyes narrowed upon seeing one of the devils run his hand up the butt of the female. Issei growled and leapt into the air from the rocks above them, sending his Gladius into the back of the devil who was touching the woman. The sword went in through the soft gap between the shoulder and the neck, penetrating all the way down into his heart. As the devil began to fall as the life disappeared from his body, Issei yanked the sword free from the body, sending blood and guts flying into the air.
"Who the fuck do you think you are?!" Asked the leader, who was the ultimate class devil. He snarled at Issei. "It doesn't matter in the end. KILL THE FOOL! LEAVE THE WOMAN FOR LAST!" He ordered. The devils sprung into action and Issei did as well.
Issei moved to the right as a black bolt of demonic energy shot right towards him. He dodged it which melted the snow behind him in a small explosion. Issei stuck his arm out and clothes-lined the devil that shot at him before using his gauntlet to grab onto the ax that tried to embed itself into his head. He then yanked the ax out of the hand of the devil before kneeing him in the gut. With the ax removed and the devil bent over, his used his left leg to kick backwards. He struck the devil in the back of the head and sent him right on top of the devil he clothes-lined. He grabbed onto the sword that went for his unprotected gut, grabbing onto the blade before pulling. The devil had a much stronger grip on this one then the one did on the ax, but it mattered not. The devil was pulled forward and that's all it took for Issei to slip his blade into the sternum of the devil. This didn't kill the devil but when Issei removed the blade while backing up, the devil went to his knees. Issei was to the right of the devil and did a 180 spin, using his momentum to block a magic blast with his gauntlet AND slicing off the head of the devil on his knees, killing him. This spin attack continued and made another 180 and Issei drove his Excalibur gauntlet into the gut of the devil who had the ax. This devil tried to tackle him but Issei saw it while he was spinning to remove the head of the devil.
The punch that Issei gave him, punched a hole into his gut which sent the devil to his knees as he turned to Ash. He killed three devils out of the six, leaving three magic using devils left, including the ultimate class. Issei watched as all three devils began to activate magic circles but Issei took the initiative. Issei activated Rapidly and Nightmare at the same time, forming multiple mirage images of himself which all moved on their own like they were actual flesh and blood.
"Damn this devil!" The leader roared, firing his magic. It came out like arrows raining down in a circle, destroying the copies of Issei and making explosions at the same time which filled the area with smoke. Out of the smoke came Issei who had leapt over the magic bolts. Issei drove his knee into the devil in the middle of the three left. Issei swung the hilt of his blade backwards striking the leader in the back of the head while his gauntlet held the chin of the third devil. With the hilt smashing into the leaders head, it was a swift motion as Issei drove his blade up into the throat of the devil he had a hold of. He pulled the blade free and pushed the devil forward who fell on the snow, bleeding all over the snow. He was dead which left the last two devils. One of the devils was underneath his body so Issei stomped on the hand that was about to fire a magic circle, getting the devil to scream in pain.
Issei turned on the hand he was standing on, squishing the hand on the ground which increased the sound of the screams. The leader was turning with a magic circle already on his hand but Issei was faster. He spartan kicked the leader in the gut which sent the devil flying backwards, only to skid on his feet. He had good balance, but Issei had flung his sword like a Javelin, which stuck itself into the leader's gut. Issei didn't waste this moment and leapt into the air, smashing away the remaining hand of the devil that Issei was stepping on, which sent the magic flying off into the distance. Issei turned in mid air before driving Excalibur into the face of the devil, flattening his head instantly. He also began to turn to ash. Issei got up and walked up to the leader who was prying the Gladius from his gut when he looked up. Issei was already right in front of him and the last thing before he died was a fist. Issei performed an uppercut upon the devil, decapitating him and sending his head flying into the air, before it, like his body, turned to ash.
The fight took about thirty seconds in all as Issei was extremely fast. He put the weapons back into his body before turning to the woman with a smile. "You alright miss? You were in quite a pickle."
"I'm fine!" She snapped, glaring at him. While she was in danger from the devils, she couldn't bring herself to thank the male.
"Hey, why are you so angry? I just saved you life."
"I didn't tell you to speak to me beast!"
"Beast? That's not very nice!"
"I said silence!" The bold woman said, pushing past Issei and walking off into the forest. Issei just watched her leave and scratched his cheek.
"What was her problem…?" He asked out loud to himself. He would sigh and open up a magic circle, preparing to send a message to Sirzechs only for a lightning bolt to crash from the sky, which was strange cause there was no clouds. The lightning bolt when it disappeared from the sky, revealed a male in its place. A man. This man was wearing a Toga which showed off his extremely muscular body. He had long white hair down to the middle of his back, and a large white beard. His body thrummed with power and Issei, for a moment, gained a bit of fear but it disappeared rapidly.
"You remind me of Thor." Was the first thing Issei said, which got the male to stare at him with a stone face. Issei was staring right into the eyes of someone who looked like he was about to smite him, only for the stone face to break in laughter. Deep laughter boomed from the man and he nodded.
"I haven't heard THAT in a long time. Yes, I am known as Zeus, God of the Sky and Thunder."
"Uh… that would be the Greek mythology right?" Issei said, scratching his head.
"Yes my friend! I am the Ruler of Mount Olympus! I am the Father of all Greek!" He said proudly.
"It is nice to meet you. I am Issei Hyoudou, or The Scorpion as I am more commonly known as."
"Yes, I know who you are which is why I was the one who hired you to come here to handle this."
"I figured there was another hand in play." Issei commented, nodding. "I went with the same thing with the Norse."
"You are a very popular figure within mythology. Gods and Goddesses alike know your name!"
"I didn't exactly ask for this fame..."
"I am aware of that too but you should be proud!" Zeus said while laughing.
"So, for what do I owe the honor of your presence?"
"No need for that. If anything, the honor is mine. Your actions have shaped the world many times. All mythologies owe you a debt of gratitude for your actions."
"I hear that a lot too." Issei said with a sigh. He didn't even try to shape the world. Everything just happened. All he wanted was freedom.
"I reckon you do but time for business. I want to bring you to Mount Olympus! Let you train under several of the Gods and Goddesses as well as let us thank you properly for your actions."
"I don't have any reason not to accept your generous offer, but, I might need to leave back to the underworld if something comes up. I believe there was to be a party."
"Yes, the Three Factions have declared peace haven't they?" Zeus commented, rubbing his beard. "I think I can give you something that will allow you to return to Mount Olympus at any time."
"That would be really nice, but there's no need. I'm not part of your mythology."
"Nonsense!" Zeus said, slapping Issei on the back before placing a bracelet made out of a lightning bolt onto Issei's right arm right above his sacred gear bracelet. "Though, there is another matter of which I also have sought you out for."
"Oh? Well, if its within my power I don't have a reason to decline."
"I want you to court, seduce, and marry one of my daughters." Zeus said, his face going stone.
Issei would raise his right brow out of curiosity. "Excuse me?" Issei asked. "That's… a strange request."
"She's a man-hater and quite frankly I've had enough of her attitude. She gets worse and worse every century."
Issei would nod. "I see and why do you think I have the power to do this?"
"I don't really have much faith in you, but who better than a hero to Mythology to court my daughter?"
"I see. Well, I'm not sure how I feel about this… though I could try and at least be her friend." He stated, scratching his head.
"This is acceptable… but i'd at least hope she get a boyfriend and stop being such a prude bitch." He stated.
"For her father, you really seem to hate her."
"Oh no, I love all my children… but she's been a real pain."
"I see… well I have no problem in trying to help you with your problem plus who knows, maybe she and I will get along." He said, giving him a shrug.
"Wonderful! Then let us go!" Zeus declared and as soon as he finished speaking, a lightning bolt struck Issei and Zeus and teleported them away!
Issei arrived on top of what he thought were clouds. His feet touched on solid clouds and he would look around, his eyes wide at the beauty. Buildings made of solid marble, large statues crafting out of marble recreating moments in history. The sky was a beautiful blue and the sun was shining. Birds were flying around and the breeze was not cold nor was it warm, just perfect. Vast Gardens with beautiful flowers. Zeus turned to Issei and grinned.
"Welcome to the home of the Greek Gods and Goddesses, Mount Olympus! I will talk with you another time, for I have to start prepping for your arrival."
"Uh, alright. What do you want me to do?"
"Sightseeing! Go talk to the other Gods and Goddesses!" Zeus said proudly, walking off to a large temple in the distance.
Issei scratched his head and looked around, different Gods and Goddesses staring at him from their respective homes, gardens or wherever they were. Issei felt a little embarrassed being stared at so he quickly moved off down a 'road' going off to explore the kingdom. Issei walked down this road for five minutes, before turning left and it was then he crashed into someone.
The figure nor Issei budged from the crash, but Issei felt his head being hugged tightly and then he heard the voice. His head was stuck in boobs.
"Ooooh, what do we have here… A devil in Olympus? You must be the famous Scorpion." Cooed a very lustful voice. Issei struggled against her grasp and only after ten seconds of his struggling did the woman decide to let him free.
Issei pulled back and shook his head before looking down at the female who was hugging him so. It was a gorgeous blonde with long hair wearing only a two piece bikini! She had an enormous rack and Issei could smell the excitement and the fact she was highly turned on right now.
"You like what you see?" She teased, running her hands down her body knowing that the devil was entranced, but Issei shook his head to release him of her spell. It worked.
"Yea, I can say that I did. Apologies for running into you."
"Oh no need to apologize. I also wasn't looking where I was going." She said before giggling. "I'm Aphrodite. Goddess of love, beauty, pleasure and procreation."
"I am Issei Hyoudou, though I am more widely known as The Scorpion." Issei said, bowing at his hips with an arm draped over his chest. "It is my pleasure to meet you."
The Goddess smiled. "Well aren't you the charmer." She cooed, gently stroking his cheek. "Perhaps I shall bless you with my body one of these days."
Issei would raise a brow. "That would be an interesting experience." He commented.
Aphrodite giggled. "So, what are you doing here on Olympus exactly?"
"I've been brought here to be trained under some of the residents here and I am to court one of Zeus's daughters."
"Really? How interesting. Well, I will not take up any more of your time." She said, walking around him.
"Take care Aphrodite!" Issei said, waving at her before he moved off to visit more of Olympus.
Read. Review. Moo.
