Before the group gets the chance to go home, a creepy voice spoke to them.
"Well, well, so you're here in this timeline."
"Oh no. I don't have time to deal with this shit," Ragna makes a facepalm as he knows who is making and Tsubaki could tell also. "Let's get out of here before things went worse."
"Aw, don't be so cold to me... Ragna."
It is then a figure came. He donned the NOL major uniform with a jolting sapphire sleeveless coat, and his hair is blond with cold, green eyes.
"Jin..." Tsubaki muttered the name of the figure.
Just then, he charges with the katana on his hand, and Ragna grabs a hold of his Blood-Scythe to exchange blows with him before moving a few inches away from him.
"It's been a long time, Brother," Jin said in a crazy way.
"Hmm. He has the same face as you," Rias takes notice of him. "Ragna, who is that man?"
"It's time you all should know my secret. He's my younger brother," Ragna stated begrudgingly.
Everyone, except for Tsubaki whom he told two nights before and Koneko who doesn't care much of the secret, is surprised by the revelation.
"Your brother?! That man attacking you just now is your younger brother?!" Issei started to back away but is staying with the group.
"That's right," Ragna confirmed.
"No way. It couldn't be," Akeno looks shocked by this as she used to remember Jin being a sweet kid when she first met him. Upon noticing his sword, she makes the confirmation. There's no doubt that really is Jin. That sword... it's the Yukianesa, and it's a Nox Nyctores. I know it could make any violent to whom he's cold, but judging by him not struggling, it must mean he now has control over the blade.
"Also, Akeno, he's the minion of Terumi's who burned down the church, chopped off my right arm, and left me to die on our home years ago."
The revelation makes his childhood friend more shock as she puts her hands to her face.
"It's impossible!" she could not believe what she just heard.
"Me? A minion of Terumi? You misunderstand again, Brother," Jin explained. "He and I are not allies. I did those things by my own free will. His presence is just a coincidence."
"More likely he possessed him to do those bad things to him," Rias muttered with her arms crossed.
"Same thing I'm thinking," Akeno added.
Suddenly, a portal opened up and with it, a blond girl falls down on the ground.
"Noel!" Ragna and Tsubaki said.
"Lieutenant Vermillion!" Jin exclaimed with disdain on her presence.
It is Noel Vermillion who fell on the portal that landed her onto the timeline. This time, her appearance is now different; she no longer wears the same outfit the two brothers last saw her. The difference to notice of her is that she wears a sleeveless cloth and white gloves, and her hair is flowing down instead of wearing a beret.
"Ah! Ragna! Major Kisaragi!" she noticed the two brothers and Tsubaki. "Tsubaki!"
"Well, this is new," Ragna muttered.
"Major, Tsubaki is here and she's safe! Leave Ragna alone!" Noel approached the blond man.
"I can't, trash," Jin muttered coldly.
"T-Trash?" the woman looks offended.
"As usual..." Ragna knows of his brother's hatred towards her.
"Out of my way!" Jin pushes Noel out of the way.
"Ahh!" the girl exclaimed with pain.
"Also, as usual..." Ragna muttered.
As for the Occult Research Club seeing this...
"What's his problem with her?" Akeno looks concerned for her safety.
"If you want your answer, Akeno, look at her face closely," Ragna replied to her.
The black-haired woman looks at Noel closely. She has blonde hair and green eyes, but her face seemed familiar. It reminded her of...
"She looks exactly like Saya!"
"Exactly. When we were children, Jin saw her as an obstacle for getting my attention and started bullying her ever since. You can see how he's jealous of her. It got worse when she had fallen ill and I spent more time with her more than him. Before you know it, one day Terumi came to him and you know what happened next," Ragna explained. "In fact, Noel looks exactly like the person Jin hated in his life, and bastard started to bully her like how he bullied Saya. That's because Noel is Saya."
"To add more detail, I'm a Murakumo Unit with her as template, and that I'm Boundary Interface Prime Field Device No. 12," Noel added.
This is one night for the Occult Research Club to take in this much information from the other timeline, especially Akeno.
"Are you two done telling them this story?" Jin looks irritated.
"I'm done, Jin. Tsubaki, get Noel to the group," Ragna demanded, and she nodded at this, so she grabs the blonde girl to safety. "Now, Jin, let's settle the score."
"Same here, Brother!" his brother goes all crazy to fight him.
The older brother makes his move to slash him, but Jin blocked it. He repeats that three times, and he is blocked. As soon Jin started to shoot an ice blade, Ragna simply cuts it down and lands a punch to his face. Next, he makes a giant icicle to ride towards his direction, but the white-haired man jumps out of the way.
"What's the matter, Brother?" the younger brother stated with a slasher smile. "Why are you not using the Azure Grimoire?"
"Why? Because the world in this timeline has no seithr, so I should try defeating you without using the Azure Grimoire!" was the reply.
"Is that so? Let's see if that will work."
Jin started to slash his katana, Yukianesa, around Ragna so they exchange blows from this.
"Isn't this fun, Brother?!" he said in a crazed way.
"Says the cocky little bastard!" the latter yelled that as he found an opening, he lands a punch to his face.
Next, he grabs a hold of him to toss him to the air and kick him downwards to the ground, ending their fight.
This is one event the Occult Research Club will never forget.
Just as Ragna is about to walk away...
"Brother, before you go, you need to know this secret in case you encountered Hakumen again," Jin said weakly.
"What is it?" the brother approached him for an answer.
"Hakumen... is me..." was the brother's words before he fainted from his injuries.
Upon hearing this secret, Ragna is surprised. Of course, he didn't expect this coming.
Damn! It's obvious! This is why he knows me, and that voice looks familiar even when it's mechanical!
"Ragna, what's wrong?" Akeno asked with concern over her childhood friend.
"Nothing," was his reply before he focused on Noel and Tsubaki. "You two should help him out."
"Right," Noel agreed.
"Okay," Tsubaki added.
The two girls approached the wounded man and try to get him safety while Ragna left with the group.
"This looks interested," Freed commented while watching the events from above the abandoned house.
"That power he possessed is not from this world," Hazama stated. "So did your little nun got information on that Devil with that Sacred Gear?"
"Yes, she did. According to her, his name is Issei Hyodo, and judging by that uniform, he is a student of Kuoh Academy."
"That's all I needed to hear. Let's make our next move tomorrow night."
The two insane villains take their leave, and the heroes will have to watch out for what they're going to plan next.
