Today was the day, it was the day of Rias and Diodora's [rating game]. But more than that, today was a big step it the war against the [khaos brigade]. The plan has been in the works for weeks now. Sirzechs and Azazel have gathered hundreds of devils and fallen angels are ready and waiting to strike.

The plan was simple. Once the [khaos brigade] showed up during Rias's match, we all move in and destroy them. This won't end the war, but it will show them that we aren't going to just lie down and take their misconduct

I'm hoping to find the leader and confront him, he needs to die for using Ophis' name to control dragons. But I have a feeling he won't show up to such a small battle.

Part of the plan was not telling anyone. We knew there were spy's within out ranks, but the less other devils knew the better. Not even Rias knew, she was going to act as bait. Sirzechs wasn't happy about the plan. But it was the best way to make it seem like the enemy has the upper hand.

Michael even got Odin to help with this attack, we all knew that the Asgards were next to be attacked, so Odin was happy to strike first

Later in the day everything was ready. My job was to enter the battle after the leaders of the [khaos brigade] entered the battle. Sirzechs was confused by that, but Azazel said it was necessary. Turns out Azazel really did know was a dragon god.

Rias was ready to have her [rating game] and her peerage gathered around her to teleport into what they thought to be a regular game

As we looked through our monitors, we soon had to act. We thought Diodora would wait to play his hand. But it turns out his real goal was Asia, he immediately grabbed her. Then all the rebel devils appeared to attack Rias.

But we acted just as fast. We mobilized within seconds, sending an equal number of soldiers right into battle. Odin rushed to protect Rias, of course he only wanted to look like a big shot in front of Rias and her female peerage members. He's a bigger perv than Issei

I was still back in the monitor room when Sirzechs and Azazel went in to explain everything to Rias. She took it well, she was a little bratty, but that's normal for her

I was watching as much as I could. Rias was heading to Asia and Diodora, to rescue the latter. The rebel devils where slowly but surely getting taken out. Odin was acting like the god he was, using mass attacks to take out forming ranks of enemies. Sirzechs was being a war general. While Azazel was leading his elite team of fallen angels, he gave them [artificial sacred gears] and was probably more interested on how they were working, then on the actual battle

Rias and her team ran into Diodora's servents. But Rias was far more powerful, the Xenovia girl sent a massive holy energy attack, using Durandal and Ascalon. She combined the two and attacked without holding back

Next Issei used his breast reading technic, he used it to guided Koneko and Gasper. They quickly make easy work of the remaining nuns of Diodora. I think Diodora has a church fetish. It explains his obsession with Asia

As Rias moved to the three remaining peerage members, her and Akeno readied to attack. But Issei said something to them "if you defeat them with ease, I'll go on a date with you this Sunday" those words fired up Rias and Akeno. I don't even think Issei understood why it was so effective. Maybe Rias was right, Issei must really not know she likes him. With one insanely overpowered attack, Rias and team moved forward to Diodora's location

Azazel contacted me on a communication seal while I was watching over Rias

-"Stixx, Ceruserey Asmodeus is facing me, he's third in command of the old maou fraction"-

"I didn't expect him, but I guess he's out for blood, I think he and Katerea were lovers"

-"you better get ready to move, if Shalba shows up, you'll have to take him"-

"understood" I say preparing a teleport

Arriving just outside of Diodora's room I waited to see if my target would arrive. Shalba was a cousin to Diodora, so chances are. If Issei beats the shit out of Diodora, which he will even with the snake Diodora has. This is the most likely place Diodora will arrive at

Asia was tied up like a dead body behind Diodora, she was still alive. He was trying to mentily destroy her. But everything changed when Issei and Rias entered the room, fallowed farther behind by the rest of Rias's peerage. After exchanging words like "give her back" "I'll kill you for this" and "don't worry Asia I'll save you" Issei was ready to fight, Diodora was overly confident about Ophis's snake in him, he expected to be invisable. All it took was one hit from Issei, and Diodora was half dead.

With a few more hits for good measure Diodora was defeated. Issei flew up and freed Asia, then everyone had a nice group hug

Until Diodora stood back up. That's when I felt a remaribly powerful being appear in the room. Shalba had arrived. Diodora was laughing at Rias and saying "now you'll pay" when Shalba destroyed him. Just a single blast of power. Then Shalba turned to Rias, everyone was frozen in fear

With a blindingly bright light Shalba made Asia disappear.

That's when I walked in, I walked straight up to Issei. I could feel his draconic side begin to overpower him. Seeing someone he loved disappear, that's hard. But he can't lose control. If his sacred gear took over his body, his soul would be consumed

So I walked over and forcibly deactivated his sacred gear. I was able to because I was a dragon god, and his was a dragon sacred gear.

He looked at me with pure hate, but his eyes looked dead.

I waved Rias over, she came over and guided Issei and everyone else away.

Then I turned to Shalba "so are you all that's coming? Or do I have to wait for your leader?" I asked

He floated down to the floor to look at me "I will be able to mop up the ants here myself"

"darn. I was hoping to kill you all in one shot. Oh well" I said shrugging

He didn't look amused, he instead summoned a bunch of bullet like balls of energy. And fired them at me

I made a barrier and blocked most of the balls, a few got past, but missed anyways

"not much of a talker are you" I joked

He responded by making more balls, with more power

I readied my fire in my lungs, I was going with my new [black flames]

We attacked at the same moment, him firing the balls. me breathing a torrent of fire

Mine was stronger. It overpowered his attack, then moved to him. But he had a barrier up. Unfortunately, once black flames hit a target, that object is destroyed. His barrier didn't last long

Just long enough for me to form a spear made of gold and black fire. The spear hit his last barrier, but the golden fire was all powerful, and pierced through it like it wasn't even there. Then hit Shalba in his stomach, that's when the black flames started to burn him, from the inside out

(meanwhile)

Rias and her servents where trying to comprehend what just happened. Everything was going great, they got Asia back. But then she just… disappeared.

Issei was taking it the worst. Ddraige couldn't activate any power for the boy. He was blocked for the next hour. He could only watch as Issei spiraled down, deeper and deeper in to darkness

Until a portal opened up next to Issei. Author pendragon hovered through it, standing on a platform. Along with Vali and Bikou. Vali was caring Asia bridal style as they all floated to the floor next to Issei

Asia was unconscious but alive, vali shoved her into Issei's arms. As if he were being reborn, Issei's whole body shook with emotion. "Asia is alive" he chanted in his head

"we found her floating in the [Dimensional gap]. We couldn't let her die." Vali said

"i-i-I don't know how I could ever thank you" Rias said looking confused at Vali

"well we should be on our way" Vali said as Author put back up a shield and started to float away then vanished in a flash of green light

"well that was strange, but who cares. She saved Asia, and that's what matters" Issei said, sounding like he returned back to his normal self

"I agree" Rias said hugging everyone

After that, the rebel devils retreated. They no longer had their two leaders, and Sirzechs was quickly pushing them back. The first ever battle against the [Khous brigade] ended as a win for the fraction alliance.
