Hello guys! It's been a while since last time! but here we are with a brand new chapter, though, before that I'll reply to your reviews!
-Suzululu4moe
Can't believe rias actually got to have a field trip. So are all prisoners allowed field trips or is it like nepotism? Rating Games are important in the devil society, especially those meant for the first tournament of a young devil: Also Chaldea kinda used Rias as a bait for the Khaos brigade

I'm well aware this might seem selfish but, can the next Servants to join the crew be the Greek Lilys? I'm referring to Medusa (lancer(child)) and Medea Lily, by the way. I can definitely see "Medley" (Medusa (lancer (child))) getting along with our favorite trap of a devil/vampire-hybrid (Gasper) and Medealy (Medea Lily) having arguments with her older self. But whatever, I sincerely anticipate the next "episode". I'll consider it :)
-Mr. Haziq
...how did Goetia posses him? Well, he didn't. Ophis unlocked the true power of Ritsuka's Sacred Gear allowing him to turn into a Beast class servant kinda like a Juggernaut drive
-Guest
can I ask? will Chaldea tell their history to the dxd world? I don't think so, they basically destroyed the demon pillars along with a few other things, I don't think the underworld will be very happy to hear that
-Guest
I wonder if Saviour will ever appear. If you'd forgotten Saviour is the Buddha or Shakyamuni or Gautama Buddha from Fate Extra and the guy will the human one shot NP. Saver class servants would be really cool but I don't think I'm going to use Buddha but maybe some other Messiah-type Servant.
Thank you for your precious reviews and opinions! Now let's get to the new chapter!
Underworld, Ritsuka's POV
Great red was flying right in front of all of us. As Jalter was hugging me, I saw Vali starting to approach us. I can tell that Jalter noticed his presence since she suddenly broke our hug and started to glare at him.
"I mean no harm" Vali says with his usual calm tone
"Then we have no business with you" Jalter growls back as I raise my hand and get up
"What do you want Vali?" I ask him as calmly as possible as a smirk appeared on his face
"just to talk" he replies shrugging "You put quite a show back there...Issei used his juggernaut drive and was consumed by it and yet, you did the same thing and you controlled it even though it was your first time..." he says
Controlled it? Nah, I barely remember anything that happened but I can see his point... "And so?"
Vali narrowed his eyes "The blood inside of me was able to feel your authority" he says slowly "Every word you pronounced was filled with power and authority over devilkind. "
"What are you saying?!" Rias shouted from behind us
"You also felt it" Vali replies "You followed his orders without any hesitation" he adds as Rias looks away biting her lip
I internally sigh...Goetia is the Demon God King...I'm not surprised that I was able to control Rias since she is a Gremory
"Even if you say that not everyone felt that way" I reply calmly
"That's because they're not pure devils" Vali says shrugging "I was able to resist because of Albion but I bet that anyone else would have kneeled before you..." he says before letting out a chuckle "Holy Knight Emperor, I can't wait for our fight..." he says as he starts walking towards his teammates "And one last thing...We are no longer fighting with Cao Cao, he's a lost cause, we also left you small gift. If you happen to come across him send him my regards as you send him in jail" he says as they all teleported away
My eyes shift back at Great Red as Ophis glared at him as she appeared next to me...for some reasons Great Red is coming closer to us...too close for my taste
'Stop Glaring at me' A voice said as I blink surprised
"I refuse" Ophis replies with a smug face
wait...is she talking to Great Red?
Great Red roars at us as he's now flying right above us...though Ophis didn't seem intimidated, in fact, she looks like someone who's up to something
'You want to start a new war?' the voice, which I guess is Great Red, says
"Umph" Ophis replies as I turn pale.
Great Red roars again at us as I turn to Jalter
"You can't do anything?" I ask her as everyone around us starts to panic
"I don't think so..." she replies gritting her teeth. The apocalypse dragon is already on us when another roar followed by many Earthquakes stops him. Ophis started to grin at that point.
"Master" Okitan says as she pointed to east "There"
I look to the pointed direction and I see Tiamat walking to us in her titan form. Great Red quickly turns in Tiamat's direction and remains silent...
'What have you done...?' He asks as his voice sounded like a scared child
"I brought Mama" Ophis replies still grinning
The Apocalypse dragon lowers his head as if it was a child who was caught from his mother while doing something wrong. Tiamat finally reached him and gave him 'the look' as she pointed at Ophis
'but...she was staring at me' he says as he tries to look at Tiamat in the eyes though he immediately regrets it as he saw her angry mother eyes 'I'm sorry...' he muttered as Tiamat nodded.
"OI OI OI" Azazel shouts as he approaches us "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?"
"I have no fucking idea" I reply sincerely
"Mama is scolding him" Ophis says as she seems very satisfied
"I need a drink..." the fallen angel replies as he starts to walk away
Later...
Great Red returned home...more like Tiamat sent him to his room without dinner. I'm back at Lilith where I left the Chaldeans, Sirzechs informed me that since I left no one tried to attack us again which kinda surprised me since Ophis told us of two waves. Speaking of The devil, Ophis is standing next to me still happy thanks to Tiamat
"You sure there were two waves?" I ask as she slowly nods
"They must have retreated" she whispers "The Khaos Brigade didn't expect to be defeated in both fronts neither that Chaldea would have shown up so early"
"I see..." I reply nodding
"Though you shouldn't be here" Sirzechs said as Ophis smirked
"I'm Holy Knight Emperor's prisoner" she replies as Sirzechs stares at me
"How?" he asks me as I shrug defeat
"That's...a good question that I can't answer because I don't know the answer" I reply shrugging
"Is that so?" Sirzechs said sighing "I hope you know what you're doing Ristuka"
I give a nod as he walks away...
Third Person POV, somewhere
Siegfried was walking in a field of flowers where Cao Cao was resting
"Shalba has fallen" he said calmly
"I know" Cao Cao said sighing
"Chaldea eliminated the forces we sent..." Siegfried said "Ophis had betrayed us and Vali left"
"WHAT? OPHIS?" Cao Cao barked as he immediately got up
Siegfried backed a bit "Y-Yeah, our spies said that she is with the Holy Knight Emperor"
"Dammit!" Cao Cao cursed "There is any good news?!"
Siegfried seemed hesitant for a moment "I heard someone say that Ritsuka Fujimaru unlocked a Juggernaut Drive that overwhelmed the Juggernaut Drive of the Red Dragon Emperor..."
"It was a metaphorical question..." Cao Cao growled "We'll have to anticipate our plans...call Hades" he said as Siegfried nodded and walked away
The Next day, Hanging Gardens, Kuoh. Ritsuka's POV
"Chaldea did well back in the underworld" General Sheperd says as he stands in front of my desk in my office "The soldiers' morale reaches the ceiling and the United Nations are more than happy to flood the news with our victory"
"They don't waste any time huh?" I replied chuckling
"Of course not" he replies shrugging "They want a piece of our merits"
"I see..." I reply nodding before turning my expression into a serious one "And what about the thing I asked you?"
"Right" he says nodding as he hands me a dossier "You were right, there's a lot of corruption in the church, the agents of the CIA found a lot of really fucked up stuff"
"Do I want to know?" I ask sighing
"No, but you have to" he replied as he crosses his arms "Other than the cases of pedophilia, we have Holy Maidens trading, some of them work with many devil criminals or Fallen Angels. Some Exocirsts are actually abusing their powers and as long they aren't caught they don't get punished"
I let out a sigh at that...
"How are you are planning to act? If I remember correctly the church helped Chaldea a lot" Sheperd says raising an eyebrow
"What they do is illegal under any aspect" I reply without any sign of hesitation "And also goes against the rules of Heaven"
"so?" He asks smirking a bit
"So Chaldea will remind them of what happens when you break the rules" I reply as I get and look out of my window "though we'll do that discretely"
"I like the sound of that" the general replies
"Is there enough material to send them right in prison?" I ask him
"There's enough material to sentence them to death" he replies as I nod
"I'll speak with Gabriel and Michael" I say "We'll decide what to do with those people. In the meantime, you can go"
Shepherd nodded as he left the room and I sit back on my desk and push the intercom
"Gremory, call here Gabriel and Kirei" I say as I can hear Rias gasping in surprise. When we returned from the underworld Rias begged me to make her return home in order to attend to Issei's wounds and conditions. At first, I wanted to reject her but then I realized that having her around at this moment with all this stuff going on is really dangerous. This is why a put her on probation for an undetermined amount of time and she's forced to work as my secretary. This is her first day, I promised that after she was finished with today's work she will be free to go home...what I didn't tell her is that Task Force 141 is coming with her and will keep training her. I needed those soldiers on the field anyway, in order to suppress any Stray Demon in the area.
"Y-Yes sir!" she replies
After a few minutes of waiting, the door of my office opens and Gabriel and Kirei walk in
"You called us?" Kirei asks with his usual calm tone
"Indeed" I reply nodding as I place the Dossier that general Shepherd gave me in front of them
"What's that?" Gabriel asks tilting her head
"See it yourself" I reply as she reluctantly picks the dossier and starts reading. The more she reads the more her expression turns horrified. When she was done she handed the document to Kirei, who reads it without even flinching
"I..." Gabriel tries to say but she stops herself
"Is the source reliable?" Kirei asks as I give him a nod
"I called you here because this situation can end only in two ways" he says calmly "The first one, the Chaldeans will start to break down many doors and arrest a lot of people who will get a public trial and Heaven will make a very poor impression to the other races for allowing that." I say calmly "The second one, we'll take care of the questions in secrecy and no one will ever know" I conclude.
"Is this a threat Ritsuka?" Gabriel asks baffled
"No" Kirei replies for me "Those crimes can't be ignored, Ritsuka is just saying that Chaldea will not allow that to continue to happen and since the holy church is strictly connected to Heaven, he's asking you how you would like for this situation to be handled since Chaldea doesn't want to do any harm to any faction. But, if Heaven chooses to ignore this, Chaldea will act accordingly and do things on their own way which will definitely destroy a lot of Heaven popularity"
"That's pretty much it" I say nodding "No matter what you choose when you'll leave this room, I will give an order that will stop these crimes from happening"
"I don't have the authority to make such decision..." Gabriel says "I need to call Michael..."
"Please do" I reply nodding.
Gabriel makes a magic circle and after a few seconds, Michael's face appears in it. Gabriel explains him the situation and then turns my direction
"Hello there" I say calmly
"General Fujimaru" he replies "I believe that you are waiting for a reply..." he says as I nod
"While I agree with you that the situation can't be ignored, I would like to solve it in the most discreet way possible" He says
"Very well then...We'll arrest these criminals and we'll bring them back to heaven..." I say but I get surprised when he shakes his head
"Breaking those vows is something that can be only punished with death" he says surprising even Gabriel.
"Chaldea isn't an assassination agency " I reply sternly
"I know" he replies nodding "You only apply the rules. And while those people broke the rules of Heaven they are still human. Before the Chaldea, we would take care of these things ourselves. But now, with the new laws, we can't just send an angel to deliver the verdict."
I let out a sigh "I see..."
"Heaven owes you a great favor Ritsuka. If Chaldea needs something we'll do anything in our power to help you" he says before disappearing
"Master" Kirei says with a serious tone "let me take care of this mission"
"You sure?" I ask him raising an eyebrow "You may end up killing someone you know"
"yes" he says without any hesitation
"Very well, form a squad and-"
"I will take my adepts with me" he interrupts me "and if it isn't too much to ask one or two Assassin servant"
"You want to take Xenovia and Irina with you?" I say surprised
"They need to see that even the Holy church isn't pure and that corruption grows everywhere" he says closing his eyes
"You are their Master, do what you think it's best" I reply sighing "For the servants, you have my approval"
"Thank you, my Master" he says...I could swear that he was smirking. The Executioner walks out of the room as Gabriel remains still with a slightly troubled expression. I let out a sigh as I bring down the ID Plate on my table that says 'General Ritsuka Fujimaru' and I look at her
"What's wrong mama?"
"I don't like that side of you..." she replies pouting a bit
"Well, it's necessary. I am the one in charge here and I have a lot of responsibilities" I reply smiling "I can't afford to be kind to everyone"
"But I'm your mother! A child shouldn't speak to his mother like that...you were scary..."
I scratch the back of my head "Well, I'm sorry" I say as the intercom turns on
"General Fujimaru, Mister Holmes is waiting for you outside" my secretary says as I adjust my ID Plate on my desk
"Well, we'll continue later" I say as Gabriel face lits up
"Really?" she asks as I nod and press the button of the intercom
"Let him in" I say as Gabriel leaves and Holmes enters the room with a slightly satisfied look
"I assume that your investigation went well" I say smirking
"Indeed" he replies as he places some documents in front of me "Kuroka Toujou killed her master in order to avoid her sister to turn into an experiment for a total illegal project"
"That's...good" I say
"I also did some other investigation and while she joined the Khaos Brigade there are no records of her actually doing anything for them" Sherlock says calmly
"What about stealing Fenrir?" I ask
"That is out of Chaldea jurisdiction, unfortunately," Holmes says though he doesn't seem so worried "And Odin didn't consider that a crime...for some reasons"
"So?" I ask him
"The only crime she has is being affiliated with the Khaos Brigade" he says
"Well...not anymore" I reply shrugging as Holmes raises an eyebrow "Vali and his team left the Khaos Brigade because of Cao Cao intentions..." speaking of Vali...the small gift he left were the locations of all the safe houses of the Khaos Brigade in the human world. Ophis didn't know that because she never went in one of them...
"Then...following all the pieces of evidence and the information we have..." he says "She's absolved "
"Looks like it..." I mutter "When it will be announced?"
"Tonight..."
"Well, it will be...interesting..." I say as I get up "I will go to Hyodou Residence tonight"
"May I ask why?" he asks
"I want to see Koneko when she sees the news" I reply as I walk to the door "If you need me I will be on the training grounds" and with that, I went to the training grounds where I needed to test my Sacred Gear now that its full potential has been unlocked...
As I arrive at the training grounds I see Da Vinci-chan, Romani, Jeanne, Emiya, Nightingale and Jalter waiting for me.
"Finally!" Da Vinci-chan said with a big smile "Let's get Started!"
"Right on the point huh?" I say with a nervous chuckle "Why are you all here?"
They were about to explain but Da Vinci-Chan interrupted them "Jeanne is here to check your parameters while Emiya is here to check the weapons you will summon, Romani is here in case you turn into Goetia again, Nightingale is here to heal you in case you get hurt and Jalter for emotional support"
"Wait...summoning weapons?" I ask raising an eyebrow
"Yes" she replies nodding "I h theorized that if you were able to change your saber class into a Beast class back in the underworld, you should be able to do the same thing with the other classes!" she says not even trying to hide her curiosity
"Oh..." I say "I guess...I could give it a try..."
"Perfect!" she says as she points at a marked position. I walk on the position and stand on the marker "Now try to feel what you felt before turning into Goetia!"
I close my eyes as I try to remember what happened back then...I remember the wave of power over my body and the sensation of emerging from a body of water. I also felt my command seals and my heart beat at the same time back then...
I slow down my breathing and ignore every external sound as I focus on my heartbeat, my command seals react accordingly and I feel like I am being immersed into water. Suddenly I hear a loud gasp and I open my eyes only to see Da Vinci-chan pointing at my arm.
I look at my arm and I see a gauntlet which was emanating a lot of electricity. I pointed my arm in the direction of the nearest wall and then I shot a freaking lightning bolt out of it
"So So?" Da Vinci-chan asks Jeanne who sighs
"Class Archer" she says
"Knew it!" Da replies before clearing her throat "Good work! Now do it again..."
Later...
"So what we got...Archer Nikola Tesla...Lancer Fionn...Rider Ivan the Terrible...Caster Gilgamesh...Assassin Yan Qing...Bersker Beowulf..." Da Vinci-chan listen "The extra classes don't seem to respond...but we haven't tried the beast class..."
"Well, that works" Romani says "he already used it on the poor Issei..."
"Well, I'm glad he didn't turn into BB" Jalter says "or Kiara..."
"Maybe he only needs some training" Da Vinci-chan says as I sigh.
I am currently back in my Saber form which I find the most comfortable, the night has come.
"I think that's enough emotions for one day" I say as they all turn in my direction "I'll go see Koneko..."
"I'm coming with you!" Jalter said but I shake my head
"No, I have to go alone" I say smirking "Don't worry, I have the power of seven servants now"
Jalter sighed "...fine"
After a few minutes, a come across Rias who was about to leave. I can clearly see how excited she is...
"Hello Rias" I say as she quickly turns around
"G-General Fujimaru" she says as I can tell she is really displeased with seeing me right now
"I'm done for the today so Ritsuka is okay" I reply shrugging
"Do you need anything from me?" she asks
"Nah, I'm just coming with you" I reply as she widens her eyes "I have to see Koneko"
"What business do you have with her?" she says narrowing her eyes
I raise my hand and I show her a bento made from Emiya "this"
"I can bring it to her" she replies
"Nah, I want to see her face while she eats it" I reply
"fine..." she says as I smirk. We both Rayshift in front of Issei's house which now looks more like a Hotel but who cares?
Rias' peerage immediately jumps out of the building to greet her though they freeze when they also see me. Koneko is glaring at me before starting sniffing the air...she looks at the object in my hand with a silent question.
"Yes, I brought it for you" I say raising the bento "It was made by Emiya".
At that point, Koneko's eyes lit up and the bento disappeared from my hands and reappeared in hers...
"Ritsuka senpai...you are half forgiven" she says as she opens the bento.
Everyone is just staring at Koneko surprised as I try to hold back my laughter...After a few moments, Issei walks up to me and bows...I'm quite surprised
"Ritsuka Senpai...I really don't like how you treated Buchou BUT You saved me so thank you!" he says almost shouting
After this little scene, Issei invited me to have dinner with them, an offer that I have accepted immediately. When we were done, Issei's parents decided to go to sleep while we remained in the living room.
"Hey, Guys" I say as everyone looks at me "Go in the Underworld channel..."
"Why?" Kiba asks me
"You'll see" I reply. The devils look at me many perplexed expression but in the end, they did as I requested. We were just in time to see the news.
"And now the shocking truth of the infamous Nekoshou Kuroka Tojou, after a deep investigation made by Chaldea, it was discovered-" the news went on, at that I wasn't listening anymore, I was just looking at the reactions of Koneko...when the service finished she started crying a lot though not because she was sad, quite the opposite. My work here is concluded and so I stand up and head to the entrance of the residence without saying a word when suddenly Koneko hugs me from behind, her face is buried in my clothes
"Thank you..." she whispered
"You are welcome" I reply as she breaks the hug and returns to her friends...I leave the building and I start to walk around waiting for her to come...it didn't take too much, as soon as I was far enough from Issei's house, Kuroka appears a few meters away from me. She doesn't have her usual cool expression, she seems quite angry? I don't know...it's kinda hard to read her expression at the moment.
"Why?" she asks
"Why what?" I reply as she growls a bit
"You know what" she hisses
"Because it's the truth" I reply
"Don't try to make a fool of me" she replies "come on! Where are your servants? Where's your army ready to arrest me?"
"I'm sorry ?" I ask tilting my head
"You sent that message on the TV to set up a trap for me and now here I am!" she replies clenching her fists
"Why are you so angry?" I ask her "No one is going to arrest you or kill you"
"Don't make me laugh" Kuroka replies "Of all the things you could use to lure me out of my hiding spot...that was the lowest thing you could do..."
"Kuroka" I call her calmly "This isn't a trap, I am alone"
"We'll see about that..." Kuroka replied as she summoned her powers "They will leave their spot if their master is in danger" she says as she throws me a ball of ki.
I remain still as the ball is about to hit me "Attacking me now will cost you your newfound freedom" I say as the ball disappears before making contact with me
"I want to see my little Shirone" she said
"Go for it" I reply
"I don't want to hide in order to do so" she continues
"Sure" I reply shrugging
"How can you be so calm?" she asks me
"Because I know you are not an evil person neither a stupid one" I reply "Otherwise that attack would have hit me"
After a few moments of silence, Kuroka starts to laugh
"You are the worst Nyah" she says "To play with a girl's heart like that Nya"
"I didn't do such thing" I reply sighing "Go to your sister before you get in troubles again" I add as I walk past her...but suddenly I found myself on the ground while Kuroka is above me
"then, Holy Knight Emperor" she whispers to my ear "Want to try to have children with me?"
