Occult Research Clubroom:
It had been a day since the relatively new members of the peerage had gotten their familiars, and Rias had called the peerage members to the clubroom at noon. Ifit hadn't been urgent, Kakuzu wouldn't have bothered coming, but the King had called her peerage in an almost urgent manner.
" I'm sorry if I called most of you here unexpectedly, but Onii-sama sent me a message yesterday, the leaders of the three factions have decided to hold a meeting, here at Kuoh. Not only that, but we also received an order of suppression from the Arch Duke. " the redhead spoke, her expression unusually serious.
" It doesn't sound that hard to be honest, can't all of you handle it, while I earn some money? " asked Kakuzu, expressing boredom.
" Issei-san, there are multiple strays together, if we allow them to run free, they might attack your customers. " spoke Kiba, smirking.
Kakuzu thought about the offer for a moment, but before he could reply, Akeno spoke, " Ara ara, Issei-kun, why don't you think about the potential bounties, besides, Gasper-kun also needs his senpai to take care of him. " looking at the vampire who was sitting in a corner, playing Pocket Monsters. At least he wasn't sitting in a cardboard box.
Blink could be seen sitting on his head, looking at the device.
" Shall we leave? " asked Konan, receiving nods from the peerage members, except Gasper who wanted to stay. Unfortunately for him, he had to go with the peerage to at least look at a battle.

A Mansion:
The Gremory peerage entered the building where the strays had been reported.
" Gasper-kun, stay on your guard, and don't be afraid to use your ability on our enemies. " spoke Kiba, receiving only a minor nod from the nervous boy.
As the group walked through the dimly lit mansion, they heard a feminine voice.
" Hi there, Issei-san. Didn't expect you to be here, of all places. " they looked over and spotted a girl with black hair styled into two ponytails, wearing a standard magical girl outfit, wielding a cartoonish wand, her face showing surprise.
" Miru... what are you doing here? " asked Kakuzu, confused.
Before the girl could reply, Akeno spoke, " Ara ara, Issei-kun, is she your girlfriend? " she asked, giving the boy a teasing smile.
" Huh, I was about to ask the same thing. " spoke Miru. " Well, since he hasn't told you devils about me, allow me to introduce myself, I am the magical girl, Miru-tan! " she spoke pridefully.
" Umm, a-am I the only one, who can see stars coming from her back? " asked Gasper, receiving a " No. " from Koneko.
' A mage, huh, but how long has she stayed in Kuoh, and how does Issei know him... Probably a client, though unlikely.. ' though Rias, surprised by the ' magical girl 's appearance.
" Oh, and I came here looking for a friend of mine. " spoke Miru.
" Before you ask any questions, she's my client, and she's the one who usually supplies me with gold. " spoke Kakuzu, causing Konan to let out a sigh.
" How did you know that we were devils? And why would your friend be here? " asked Kiba, his eyes narrowed.
" Well, I've experienced my fair share of troubles, so I know what you all are. I must say, you're completely different than what's written in the books. My friend, well, let's just say that she doesn't know about devils that much. " answered the girl, sheepish.
" Wha- " before Kiba could ask her the question once more, Kakuzu spoke.
" It would be better for our sanity if you don't ask. "
" So, why are you devils here? " asked the ' magical girl '.
" We're just here to eliminate the strays. " spoke Kakuzu bluntly.
Before the girl could reply, they all sensed something.
Immediately, Miru started running towards the location of the ' something ' , followed by the peerage.
Opening the door to a large room, they all saw a young woman with short red hair, and dark skin. She was wearing some light bronze armour, which covered the important parts of her body, and didn't restrict her movement. A shining green shield could be seen in her hand. She was surrounded by the strays.
" Thunder! " shouted Miru, as a bolt of electricity was emitted from the tip of her wand, after which it divided and killed all of the strays, slightly surprising most of the peerage. Those strays weren't particularly strong ones, but they were defeated by the girl, almost effortlessly.
' This much power... Scary.. ' thought Gasper, as he looked at the remains of the strays.
The dark skinned woman looked towards Miru, " Thanks! Even though I could've handled it... " she spoke, mumbling the last words.
" Maria, what are you even doing here. Weren't you supposed to meet me at my apartment, two weeks ago? " asked Miru, letting out a huff.
" Well, I got a little sidetracked... literally, but then I found some devils! They were harming humans, I swear! " answered the shield wielding girl, her expression showing nervousness.
" I guess our work here is done. " spoke Kakuzu, as he begun walking towards the exit of the room.
Before he could go far, Miru's friend, Maria, spoke, " Miru! Those are devils! " she spoke, as she took on a defensive stance, pointing towards the peerage.
She received a simple nod from her friend, " I know. "
Surprised, Maria continued, " Th-they probably hurt humans, sacrifice their souls, and make people go to the Underworld! "
She received a light chuckle from Kiba. " Those were the actions of our ancestors, currently we are prohibited from attacking humans without any reason. Also, the Underworld isn't that bad. " he answered, a thin smile on his face.
The shield wielding girl blushed when she saw the Knight, then spoke, " Th-they even have an incubus with them... They're undoubtedly planning something. "
" Ara ara, it seems our knight has taken another heart, oh I wonder if he'll accept. " spoke Akeno, a smirk on her face, as she saw Kiba letting out a sigh, and the shield wielding girl's blush intensify.
" Akeno, I think that's enough. Besides, Issei's right, we should hurry back. I still need to get the club ready for onii-sama. " spoke Rias, receiving nods from her servants.
" Wh-where do you think you're going? " spoke Maria, her face still a little flushed.
" Back to our base. " Rias replied nonchalantly.
" Who are you? Speaking to a great knight like myself. " spoke an angered Maria.
In response, Konan let out a chuckle, something that was rare for her to do. " Actually, she's an heiress, and her brother's one of the Satans. " she spoke.
Slowly, the girl's expression changed from anger to surprise to horror.
" I-I'm so sorry, I didn't know. " spoke the shield wielder hurriedly.
Rias merely let out a sigh. " Look, it's okay. " she spoke, smiling.
" Besides, didn't the Knight Academy kick you out? " asked Miru, a smirk on her face, as she heard her friend grumble.
Suddenly, they all heard rather unsettling laughter.
" Food, at last... " they then heard a masculine voice, as figure came out of the shadows.
The stray had dark hair, dark eyes, and was wearing some rags. A twisted smile was on his face, and his arms were morphed into blades.
" Start devil Atris! You killed your master, and your peerage members. It is time for you to return to the Underworld, and face your punishment! " spoke Rias in a commanding tone, surprising Gasper, and Maria.
In response, the stray merely let out a growl, and sped towards the Gremory heiress. Before he could come close, Kiba sped towards him, to swords drawn.
With a clang, the stray jumped back, and sped forth once more, this time trying to slice up the Knight. Kiba merely parried his slices with his own two swords.
The stray jumped back, but let out a shriek, as his back was hit by some sort of flame, he looked towards his attacker, and saw Kakuzu, who was smirking.
The stray then ran towards Kakuzu, but stopped when he saw the boy simply disappear. Darting his eyes around, the stray looked towards Gasper, feeling his fear.
Smirking it ran towards the boy, who let out a feminine shriek. However, before the stray could hurt the boy, it froze.
" Good job, Gasper-san. " complimented Konan, the boy's face covered with confusion, which changed to a small amount of pride for himself. When he saw that everyone was looking at him, he his behind the closest person, who was Kakuzu.
" You realise that everyone can still see you? " the miser asked the boy, who let out a quiet " Yes. "
" That was... amazing. " spoke Maria, in awe.
Rias smiled at the girl, " That was nothing. Now, it is time for you to disappear. " she spoke, pointing her open palm towards the frozen stray.
In an instant, a decent sized sphere of pure destruction appeared between the King's fingers, and was shot towards the stray, completely obliterating it.
This attack just simply surprised Gasper, Miru, and Maria at it's level of destruction.
" Wha-what the...? So much power.. " spoke Maria in awe. " That was so amazing! " she continued, excitedly.
Immediately, she appeared in front of Rias, " Please make me stronger! " she almost begged, resulting in the devils sweatdroping.
" Well, good luck with her. " spoke Miru, as she started walking towards the exit.
" What about your friend? " asked Konan, pointing towards Maria, who was still begging Rias.
" Well, it's simply impossible to stop her, besides it's about time she learned about other species personally. I remember the day when she decided to fishing. " she answered, shuddering. " All of it's juices ruined my favourite dress. " she muttered.
" I can't make you stronger. Even person in my group has trained a lot to be where they are, and we are still pretty weak compared to the others. Not to mention, all of us had something from the beginning, like my power of destruction, while you- " Rias was speaking, but she was cut off by the shield wielding girl.
" I know! That's why I wanna train... So, I can prove that even someone whose seemingly untalented can be amazing! " she spoke, standing rather pridefully.
Rias looked towards her servants in confusion, she received a shrug from Kakuzu and Konan, a smirk from Akeno, and head shake from Kiba.
" I guess, it wouldn't hurt- " Rias was about to complete her question, but Maria cut her off once more with an excited " Yes! "
Khaos Brigade Headquarters:
" Cao Cao, you, and your group will retrieve an artifact from the Familiar Forest, in the Underworld. Hurry. " order Ophis, look at a man who was kneeling before her.
The man had short black hair and blue eyes, and was wearing a combination of Japanese, and ancient Chinese attire.
" How will we know that we've got the artifact when we do? " the man asked. Somewhat irked. He wanted to ask why, but it would probably result in him getting injured. He had also been planning on capturing Kyoto's Youkai leader, but it seemed he had no choice.
" You will know when you find it. " spoke the infinite dragon god, her tone monotone as usual.
The man gave the dragon a nod, and left.
In the hallway, he knew he was being watchedby a pair of sharp lilac eyes, but he paid them no heed.
' I wonder how you'll do, Cao-kun. Will you survive, or will you perish? Ufufufu. '
