"Hohoho, so I have come to visit."
Odin was laughing loudly in the VIP room on the fifth floor. Everyone in the house gathered into the room. Even Zazy and Jack showed up. My date with Akeno was cancelled. I'll have to make it up to her. We reunited with Rias and the others and went back home with Odin. Akeno was disappointed, but was more troubled with her father being here. She doesn't even crack a smile.
Barakiel is also here, but Akeno doesn't even want to see his face. It must be really bad. I remember hearing it from Raynare and the other fallen angels. And a few things from Zazy. A serious warrior-type person who doesn't know how to take a joke. He's apparently as strong as Zazy. In offensive power, he in Zazy's league.
"Here is your tea.", said Rias as she served Odin tea while smiling. I got shot by her when we got back. I guess she'll do more of that later on.
"You don't have to worry about me. But, it seriously is huge~. That one is also huge~. There so many girls here with large sizes. The Cosmic Sekiryuutei brat sure has a lot of women.", said Odin.
Perving out again. So typical. He's looking at all the girls with large chests. Unbelievable. I hope Ama-chan will be okay in the meeting. I think the big danger will be Odin perving out in front of Ama-chan.
"Mou! Odin-sama, you can't look at them with such a perverted gaze! She is the sister of the Maou Lucifer-sama! And don't look at the other girls like that too!", said Rossweisse as hitting Odin in the head with a paper fan.
Odin rubs his head from being hit. I know it's a comical jab, but is it okay to do that to him. Well, I do that to Zazy when he goes too far, so I shouldn't complain. Though, Rossweisse sure can pull of the manzai act with Odin.
"Geez, you are so hard headed. Sirzechs's sister is famous for being a beauty with a glamorous body, so it can't be helped if I end up wanting to stare at her breasts. And the other girls he has are well developed too. Oh, this one here is my escort Valkyrie. Her name is-"
"My name is Rossweisse. I will be under your care during our stay in Japan. Nice to meet you all."
With Odin's intro...Rossweisse introduced herself. She looks different from the armor she wears, but she is pretty. But I get the feeling she's in Rias' age range. For her to be working already, I bet she's pretty smart too.
"She is a virgin girl where her 'Years she didn't have a boyfriend equals her age'.", said Odin with a lecherous face.
So that's why Odin doesn't mind those jabs. That's his comeback. I then saw Rossweisse panic.
"T-T-That has nothing to do with this! I didn't choose to not to have a boyfriennnnd! I didn't choose to still be a virginnnnn! Sob!"
She's already on her knees, smacking the floor. That's pretty cruel Odin. It's not a good idea to mess with a girl's heart.
"Well, the business world of battle maidens is also having a hard time. Even if there are those with looks, they are mostly those who are not outstanding. Lately the number of heroes and yuusha have decreased, and the Valkyrie squad has been minimised because of the lack of funds, so even this one was at the corner of the room until before she became my escort.", said Odin as he nodded his head.
I then noticed Shizuka, Kanna, Yuri, and Katsumi try to comfort Rossweisse. They better not say anything weird to her. Though, I can see her potential. She is good, I have no doubt. But why do I feel like I want to help her?
{Maybe if that Valkyrie became your girlfriend, she'll be happy and she'll also show you her real power.}
'And you're trying to make things more complicated for me Ddraig.'
"During the time when Geezer will be staying in Japan, it's decided that we will be your guard. Barakiel is a back up support member from the fallen-angels side. I also have been busy lately, so I only have limited times I can stay here. During then, Barakiel would be looking after all of you in my place.", said Zazy.
"I look forward to working with you all.", said Barakiel.
"This will be our most important job yet.", said Donny(Donaseek).
"To be the guard of a God, we better do our job right.", said Kalawarner.
"I bet we'll be ranked really high among the fallen angels if we do this right.", said Mittelt.
"To be working with the legendary Barakiel-sama, this is great.", said Raynare.
Well those four are happy. But Akeno...still displeased by her own father being here. Well, were hired as Odin's guards while he's here. Does he need us to be his guards? Is the one trying to sabotage the meeting that powerful?
"Geezer, don't you think you came a bit early to visit here? The date of your arrival should have been few days ahead. The reason for your visit this time is so you can talk with the Japanese Gods right? Michael and Sirzechs would be the middleman and I would be sitting with you in the meeting…..right? Roxas, Amaterasu told you that, right?", asked Zazy while drinking green tea.
"Yeah, she told me that during our date. She told me that she'll need me to make sure nothing goes wrong. Part of my work for her and Obaa-sama.", I said.
"That's about it. And in our country there is a bit of trouble…. Actually there is a troublesome lad who is against my ways. I thought I should move things faster before he does something. That's why I want to discuss several things with the Japanese Gods. Until now, we were basically unsociable to each other and we didn't have any connections.", said Odin as he sighed and stroked his beard.
Troublesome lad? Does he mean who I think it is? All I can think of on who would trouble him is...
"When you mean trouble, do you mean that you have the Vanir after your head? I beg you so don't start the 'Ragnarok' by yourselves, Geezer.", said Zazy with a sarcastic smile.
"Man, don't make a tasteless joke like that.", said Jack.
Yeah, that was tasteless. I don't want Ragnarok to start. That will ruin what I've been working for. Not to mention my job as a teacher will end with that.
"I don't care about the Vanir….. Well, there is no point discussing it. By the way Azazel-boy. It seems like the Khaos Brigade are increasing the number of those who can use Balance Breaker. Scary it is. But I heard that those are a rare phenomenon?", said Odin.
So it has come to this conversation huh. Balance Breakers. So Irina's theory is right. Khaos Brigade is experimenting with Sacred Gear possessors to increase their numbers on those who can use Balance Breaker.
"Yeah, they are rare. But there is some idiot who used the most quickest, yet the most scariest and easiest way by force to make the rare phenomenon happen. That is something that one who is knowledgeable about Sacred Gear would at least think of once, but it is something no one could do because you would be criticised by each faction. It's definite that you would be heavily criticised whether you succeed or not.", said Zazy.
"It sounds similar to my training with Uncle Tannin.", I said.
"It is. Rias's report is basically correct. The plan in which you will eventually succeed when you do it a lot. First you gather humans who possess a Sacred Gear by force. It's basically abduction. Then brainwash them. Next you send the Sacred Gear possessors to the place which has strong foes gathered….the crucial places where superior beings resides in. You continue that until you have someone who reaches Balance Breaker. When they reached it, you summon them by force through a magic circle.", said Zazy
It sounds exactly like my training with Tannin. Zazy then continues.
"These are things no factions can do even if they thought about it. If I, who has an alliance with the angels and devils confronts them and do the same things at the crucial locations, then that will signal the start of a war. So no one wished for that. But they were able to do it because they are terrorists."
Well, they do lack ethics, that's for sure. Though, I did attain Balance Breaker the same way. But this devil body sure helped out.
"Well, it's the terrorists Khaos Brigade's way to abduct humans like that and brainwash them to make then reach Balance Breaker."
"What kind of people do those kind of things?", asked Alice.
"The regular Hero-faction members are the gathering of the great legendary yuusha and heroes-sama. Their physical bodies doesn't lose out either even against angels or devils. They also possess Sacred Gears and legendary weapons. On top of that, they have reached Balance Breaker, and on top of that they have a pushy Longinus which can even slay a God. From the reports, Hero-faction has a strong will not to lay their hands on Ophis's snakes, so in terms of their power enhancement it still is unknown.", said Zazy.
So they have a Longinus that can slay a God. That can only mean one thing. They have someone with the True Longinus. And that person is their leader.
"What are they going to do by increasing those who can use Balance Breaker, now that's the problem.", said Odin as he drank tea.
He is someone who can handle groups of middle and high-class devils on his own. No wonder he's easygoing. I bet his real strength is shown when he's serious.
"Well, this is something which is still being investigated, so nothing will start even if we discuss it here. Geezer, are there any places you want to go?", asked Zazy as Odin put on a lecherous face.
"I sure want to go to the Oppai-pub!"
"Haha, you sure have good taste, Chief God-dono! Hell yeah, let's go there right now then! Young girls from my organisation opened up a shop in this town for the VIP's recently. I will invite you there then!"
"Uhohoho! To be expected from Azazel-boy! You sure know your things! Prepare me a big breasted one right away! I'm going to grope many of them!"
"Follow my lead shitty-geezer! Welcome to Japan! Do you want to untie their kimono obi? That is something you must do at least once when you come to Japan! I will show you the Japanese-style!"
"I can't wait for it~ I can't wait for it indeed~!"
I facepalmed at this. Unbelievable. For these two to act like this. I even noticed Rias' eye brow twitch.
"Odin-sama! I...I'm also going!", said Rossweisse.
"You stay here. It won't be a problem if Azazel is with me. You can stay put in this house."
"No! I'm going!"
Rossweisse followed the two and their conversation continued. The rest of us and Barakiel made a sigh.
"Akeno, I would like to talk to you."
I was on my way to my office from the kitchen. That's when I heard an argument going on between Akeno and her father.
"Don't casually call my name.", said Akeno with a sharp tone.
I wasn't within sight from the two, but I can hear them.
"...What is the meaning of this, that you are seeing the Cosmic Sekiryuutei?"
Great, I knew something like this would happen. The issues of a teacher and student relationship going too far.
"This is my life. Why do I have to have you comment about this?"
"I heard rumors. A teacher like him with a student doing things at school."
The only person who would give me away like this would be either Jack or Zazy. More likely Zazy, he's so dead when he comes back.
{Partner, this is looking bad for you.}
[Even though Akeno likes you, her father can be a problem.]
'Well, he is concerned about her having a teacher as a boyfriend.'
"I'm worried about you. I'm worried that you are...receiving embarrassing treatments.", said Barakiel.
"Don't talk about him like that. Roxas-sensei is a reliable, kind, smart, and caring man. So you judge him because he has other girls living here too. You are the worst. Like I thought, I can't do something like...forgiving you...", said Akeno.
Oh boy, I get the feeling Akeno will be seeing me soon for something.
"I'm saying this as a father—", said Barakiel, but was interrupted by Akeno.
"Don't act like a father! Then why didn't you come for me back then!? The one who left Kaa-sama to die without helping was you!"
"…."
Barakiel became silent with that. I have to stop this from escalating. I decided to enter the room the two were in.
"Roxas-sensei... Were you listening?"
"You were pretty loud, I could hear everything.", I said calmly.
"Ngh! Shameless! For a man to be eavesdropping!", said Barakiel.
"Settle down. Getting mad at me won't solve anything. Cool off before you end up doing something stupid.", I said, which only made Barakiel mad.
"I won't allow you to see e-each other!", he said as he radiated holy-lightning.
"*sigh* Do you really want to do this? What would Zazy say if you end up killing me? What would Akeno think of you if you kill me? What would she say if you kill me? You know, my mom and her were like sisters. It's not a good idea to do this.", I said as Akeno then stood in front of me.
"Don't touch him. Please don't take away this person from me. He is someone who is necessary for me…. That's why disappear from here! You are not my father!", said Akeno as Barakiel stopped his holy-lightning.
"...Sorry.", he said.
"Take time to think before you go off getting mad. You might do more harm than good.", I said.
"I...understand.", he said as he left.
He looks sad from how he looks. I should repair this relationship fast.
"Akeno, you know what I'm going to say."
"I know. But please, I beg you. Don't say anything. ...Let me stay like this for a short while. Please, Roxas...", said Akeno as she tightly hugged me.
"I know.", I said as I hugged her back.
Later
I was in my office, working on the game. I was also trying to think on how to repair Akeno and Barakiel's relationship. That's when Julia came into the room.
"Working on the game?", she asked.
"That and trying to solve some family issues.", I replied.
Julia came closer and embraced me from behind.
"You know it won't be that simple. Fixing the relationship between those two."
"I know. But I was contacted by Shuri. Crazy, maybe. But she is someone my mom treated as a sister. I have to help those two, or Shuri won't be able to rest peacefully."
Julia then gave me a deep kiss. I even got some demonic power from her as well.
"Fufufu. You sure are thoughtful of others."
"To me, I think I'm more scared of what will happen if things go bad."
"Then in that case, all of us girls will be beside you for the things that scare you. But it is strange, seeing a dragon getting scared of something so small."
"It might be small to others, but for me, it's big. I'll need time to make sure things don't get bad."
"Alright. At least get to sleep. You have something important to do tomorrow."
"Yeah."
Next Day
We, the Gremory group, participated an event in the Underworld sponsored by the house of Gremory.
"Yeah, thanks."
It was a handshake and autograph event. A huge row of people is made in front of us, and I gave my autograph sheet to each child while shaking their hands. They take my autograph with decent devil letter handwriting happily, then shake my hand with a big smile...
"Gundam Dragon! Do your best!"
I hear that a lot.
"It's Gundam-princess!"
Another kid was a fan of Rias. She gave him her autograph and smiled. I noticed that Gundam-princess is popular. I also notice a large line of women in front of Kiba, his role is the pilot of the Shadow Wolf Gundam, a deuterogonist. As for Koneko, she has her pilot suit on, her role is pilot of the Nekomata Gundam and the protagonist's support.
"Dude, you're really living it up.", said Jack as he stood behind me.
"Hey, I got famous for a prank on Vali. This just escalated it."
"I know, but you can't let this get to your head."
"I know that!"
Jack and I argued a bit until Jack said something careless, which deserved him the codeword. The children laughed at our little act, and then realized that Jack is the one on my other show. I find it strange that an angel like Jack is getting asked for autographs by devil children. After the autograph session, we returned to the dressing room. I deactivated my armor. Then a staff member approached me.
"Roxas-sensei, thank you for your hard work."
The one who brought me a towel is Ravel. I took the towel to wipe some of the sweat of my head.
"Thanks, Ravel.", I said as she smiled.
When she heard I was participating in an event, she came out to help us.
"It's no problem. T-This is also part of my training! And I think giving dreams to the children of the Underworld is a wonderful job, that is why I am helping! And being a teacher and a comedian helps them find a funnier side to you!", said Ravel.
When I first met her, she looked down on me. But when we met at the party before the match with Sona, she wasn't like that. She was more approachable. I even feel a gaze of admiration from her.
"It's a good thing, giving dreams to the children."
"All the children have their heads full about you."
"Yeah. They came to shake my hand very seriously. So I felt that I need to protect their dreams seriously as well. And I'm not just giving them dreams, I'm also giving them a future. A future they can make for themselves. That's part of a job as a teacher.", I said as Ravel hugged me.
"And you're doing a fine job at that.", said Ravel as Rias came to my dressing room.
"Roxas, it's about time to return to the human World.", said Rias.
"Ah, that's right. We have to guard Odin today after this event."
This guy keeps asking for pervy things. Since he came, he's been going from one Oppai-pub to the next, hitting on girls on the street and doing whatever he wants! He's like Master Roshi from the Dragon Ball series. I just want to hit his head with the fan, just for once.
"Yes, we need to return quickly. Good work to you as well Ravel. Thank you for today.", said Rias.
"T-That's all right, this is all for my learning.", said Ravel as her cheeks turned red.
"Then, see you next time."
"Yes, please call me for the next event. If you n-need me then I will definitely help you out."
After that conversation with Ravel, we left for the human World with Rias and the others. That handshake session was good. Maybe next time, we should add a short manzai act with Jack. I bet that would be fun.
Later
We were going around Japan with Odin for his tour. I decided to open up conversation with Rossweisse and Athena joined in.
"So Rossweisse."
"Yes?"
"I was wondering, is it really economically bad where you live?"
"Yes, with the lack of heroes and yuusha-sama, the Valkyries have been on decline. It's even hard for my grandmother, who I'm trying to support."
"I see. I guess we have something in common."
"What do you mean?", asked Rossweisse.
"Roxas has family in the island country of Cuba. It's economic state is bad because of it's political control over the people.", said Athena.
"I see your point. Is it possible to support them?"
"Not unless you want the government to take all the money I intend to give them. I learned from the meeting of the Three Great Powers that the government is under the control of Khaos Brigade, so any money going to my family there is instead going to them. I can't let them use that."
"Don't worry Roxas, your family will be fine.", said Athena.
"I know, but it's a hard place to live."
"I see. Fufufu, I guess we have the same problem with caring for family.", said Rossweisse.
"There's also something else I want to know."
"And that is?", asked Rossweisse.
"Why does Odin jab you with the whole 'no boyfriend' thing?"
"*sigh* It's his way of getting back at me for hitting him on the head with the paper fan. I really do want a boyfriend though. I want to be happy with that man I choose to be my husband later on in life.", said Rossweisse.
"I'll tell you this. A few months ago, I was in your shoes of not having a girlfriend."
"No way! You have lots of girls around you! How is that possible?"
"Well, it was more like I was driving them away. I was scared that I might hurt them by being careless. It was until I met Shizuka and Kanna that I was declared a married man."
"You're married!?"
"Yeah, but that didn't stop the girls coming toward me. Even my dad said if I'm going to have lots of girls, that I should love and care for them. I don't want to hurt a girl's feelings. I just don't have that in me. Somehow, the thing I like to call my dragon aspect started attracting women to me. I know the girls mean well, but I'm scared. I'm scared I might hurt them. There were even times they tried making 'advances' towards me."
"Roxas, girls are much stronger than you think. Sometimes, they can take rejection well. And if they do make advances on you, then either accept them or say no.", said Rossweisse.
She does make a good point. But that person, the other me. Will I be forever taunted by that side of myself? Most of the girls I met so far want me to be their husband. Yet, to have that other me, who can be a threat to them, I'm not sure what to do.
Training Room
After the tour, Donny, Kiba, Gasper, and I were doing some sparring. I was in my Balance Breaker for this spar. Kiba is fast and I noticed that Donny was starting to get faster. With Kiba being a Knight and Donny getting control on how to be fast, they sure are difficult to hit. But...
{Boost x14}
I can increase my speed by boosting. I surpass their speed and go on the offense. Kiba and Donny were both having trouble once I pull out the Ascalon and the GN Sword III. I was pushing both of them back. In fact, I bet anyone watching would think this action came from the Dragon Ball series.
I then noticed the speed of Kiba's holy-demonic sword increase. I block the attacks that come at me and block the one from Donny as well. I then charge into Kiba for a blow. I saw his sword coming at my head so I feinted and hit Kiba hard. Donny came at me from behind, but I kicked him off into the wall. I was back on the ground as Kiba and Donny got back up. Just when I was about to move, my foot felt a bit cold. I looked down to see my foot was frozen and was connected to the ground.
"It's the holy-demonic sword of ice.", said Kiba.
His icy sword bound me to the ground. I then noticed his sword change from ice to lightning. He intends to fry me with that. So then I will use this. I blocked his attack with my new dragon wings. They're metallic red in color and had claws on it. This was something from the Juggernaut Drive that was added to me. I got Donny's arms with my left wing and arm and caught Kiba's with my right wing and arm. I then prepared a Mega Flare from my mouth which made the two panic.
"Whoa Roxas, isn't that too much?", asked Donny.
"It's not training if we don't go all out.", I said as I fired it.
The explosion was big, I was freed from the ice. Donny and Kiba were burned, but not too badly. I'll have to get Asia to heal them later.
"Ugh, Roxas-sensei, you're brutal.", said Kiba as he groaned a bit.
"Sorry.", I replied.
"T-Time's up~! That's the end of the time! It's a s-stop!", said Gasper as he rang a bell and jumped around.
Our battle ended with me winning against the two of them.
"There are times when I can't keep up with Roxas-sensei's training loads.", said Kiba as he drank a sports drink.
"I know what you mean. That last one was clever. Using Mega Flare from his mouth to get all of us. He didn't take too much damage, but we were pulled into him like that and the explosion really got us.", said Donny as he drank some too.
"Roxas-sensei, I know you train hard, but please have some restraint.", said Asia as she was healing them from the burns.
"Sorry Asia, I just have to go all out, otherwise, we won't get anywhere.", I said to her.
"It's okay Asia-san, this is necessary for training.", said Kiba.
Gasper was with a training robot that Zazy and I made. He's using it for his stop training by stopping the flying robot in the air with his eyes. I deactivated my armor and Asia left to get something to drink.
"Man, I guess my base power increased after using Juggernaut Drive. I know I can't use that anymore, it'll be fatal if I do. I have to find another way to get stronger. Something different from Juggernaut Drive. I heard Sai became stronger with just his fists alone. While I have more things to work with, I'll use everything to get strong.", I said as I drank some water.
My life was shortened because of Juggernaut Drive, so I have to get strong in case of trouble. The match with Rias and Sai is going to be broadcasted throughout the Underworld. I know it'll be hard, but I can't let them down.
"Kiba, in terms of speed, how fast was I?", I asked.
"Well, you definitely surpass my speed. I guess those weighted clothes you wear really show your progress.", said Kiba.
I've been wearing weighted clothes to increase my speed everyday. I made a set for my work clothes so that I can use that while teaching. Though it can be troublesome if my weight exceeds the chair's limit.
"Yeah, those clothes do work after a while, how much weight did you put for those?", asked Donny.
"I think I been putting an extra 500 pounds total."
"Wow, that's a lot. No wonder the chairs break."
For this spar, I took off the weighted clothes. I was able to match their speed normally, but after boosting, I went faster than them.
"Well, in terms of speed, you're really fast without those clothes. And your power overwhelm me. Also having the Cosmic Sekiryuutei as your opponent puts a lot of pressure on me, and I get chills every time your punch or sword comes at me. Even if you use magic, it's frightening. No matter how many lives I have, it isn't enough.", said Kiba.
Lately, us guys have been using this sturdy battlefield made by Zazy and Sirzechs. This training room is in a certain basement in the Gremory territory of the Underworld. Kiba and I can't train to our hearts content because of our abilities. If we get serious, we could destroy the landscape, and I don't want to get into the whole 'I destroyed a mountain' again. It was troublesome to find a good place to train. That was until we got this present from those two for solving the incident with Diodora. This place can also be used as a safe house. There's a magic circle in our house that takes us here. It's specially made, so terrorists won't sense us here. Usually, high-class devils have a place like this. And those who are youth devils get this place as an exception. Those that qualify that exception are those of us in the Gremory group and Sai's group.
"Think we got stronger?", I asked.
"Of course. I know this is rude to say, but you and I have surpassed Buchou and Akeno-san. We probably can overwhelm average high-class devils now. But, we can't let our guard down."
"Yeah, since my abilities and yours are known by many, it's easier to deal with us right?", I asked as Kiba nodded.
"Well, you two are really crazy strong. Only an idiot would challenge you if they're really weak.", said Donny.
WIth my ability and Kiba's being shown throughout the Underworld, the other teams have been trying to make countermeasures to beat us.
One weakness I have is that I have trouble hiding my power growth. They would sense my aura and if it got bigger, they would flee. I can't destroy the battlefield if there's the condition with the Sitri match, which is why I have the ACR to take them down. There's also another weakness I have, and that's the dragon-slayer weapons. Those things will hurt a lot for someone like me. Kiba's weakness is his legs. If his legs are injured his speed will drop dramatically.
"For example there is apparently a Sacred Gear which slows down the opponents legs, so I would also be in danger if I were to encounter such a foe. It will be alright if I don't get hit by it, but we won't know what will happen in the actual thing. You're lucky, with that GN Drive, you can keep your speed if your legs slow down, and it even allows you to vanish for a bit if something very dangerous happens to you.", said Kiba as he drank the sports drink.
"Yeah, and Roxas, you have to be careful for dragon-slayers.", said Donny.
"He's right, so it would be dangerous if you were to be hit even once. There is also compatibility during a match, so if someone with a dragon-slayer were to show up then we will take them on. Though we would have to depend on Roxas-sensei for other opponents."
I haven't taken any damage from a dragon-slayer's attack, but I bet it will hurt like hell.
"W-W-W-Will I be of any use….?", asked Gasper, timidly raising his hand.
"In your case, it's better if you stayed in a group. If you're blinded, you'll be vulnerable to attack.", I said as Kiba and Donny nodded.
"That's right. Gasper-kun's power is adapted for supporting, so its real potential will be unleashed only when pairing with someone from the group. As long as we continue to live as devils, it is necessary to get adapted to team battles, so covering each other's weak points would be an obvious thing to do."
"Well, becoming strong by yourself is good, but we won't know how effective that will be against strong teams."
"Yeah. Roxas-sensei especially needs to be careful since you are trying to become a King by leaving Buchou in the future."
"It's game over if the King is beaten. I know I'll have to make good tactics as a commander. Though it would be nice to just plow through sometimes, like how Sai did with Zefardoll."
"But if a strategy was made to counter that….. We are also thinking of tactics to take on Sairaorg-san individually, but if we were to fight like how he does then we would be…"
"Thoroughly screwed."
"Yes, once you find out a weakness in Sairaorg Bael's team, the others will try to exploit that.", said Donny.
Like this, us men of the house, gather here to discuss about things for the games. At least I can use some game knowledge from the video games I play to work in the Rating Games as well.
"Looks like you're getting a good grasp of things.", said Zazy as he suddenly appeared.
I noticed he had something on his hands.
"Here, I have some food. It's onigiri hand made by the girls."
We got some onigiri and ate them. I got to taste those from Rias, Asia, Akeno, Shizuka, Kanna, Katsumi, and Yuri. Those sure taste delicious. Zazy sat next to us and laughs.
"Looks like you're getting stronger, Roxas. I can tell that it's the training you've been doing."
"Yeah, but I have to get stronger. I promised Rias, so I'll fulfill that before going independent."
"Oh yeah, I heard. When the time comes for you to become independent from Rias, you are taking Asia and Xenovia with you right?"
He must have heard that from Asia or Xenovia.
"Well, if Rias is okay with it, then yeah."
"You did it."
"Well, I did promise Asia that we'll be together. I want to stay with her. And also with Xenovia.", I said.
"Not to mention that the monster girls with you can be good candidates for future peerage members.", said Donny.
I can't imagine those girls asking me to be a part of my peerage.
"One thing, Roxas. If you are going to become a King in the future, then you know there is one thing you should remember. You should know it already after playing strategy games.", said Zazy.
"It's Sacrifice, isn't it?"
"Yes. During the game, there will definitely be a time when you have to abandon your pieces. How will you cope with it when that time comes? Your value as a King will be tested then."
"That will be difficult, seeing as my disposition won't allow something like that. I'll save them if I can. In a real battle, I know that's priority one. But in the game, since they can retire, I know that those too injured to fight should leave. But it still doesn't sit well with me."
"You sure gave that a lot of thought. You have the greatest affections with your comrades in this group. It's not that hard to see that after what happened to you back then. And that will turn into an obstacle in future games. ...Kiba.", said Zazy as he moved his gaze to Kiba.
"Yes."
"During the game, in the worst case, who would you choose between Rias and Roxas?"
"I will choose Buchou.", answered Kiba.
He would choose her, if not, I would smack him. In the game if King is down, in our case Rias, then it's game over. Zazy then continued.
"Other members also need to hold that determination as well. Maybe it's because you guys are the Gremory group, but your love towards your comrades is strong. Your affections towards your comrades are amongst the top-class within the devils as well. That will be your weapons, but also your weak points. If other devils learn that "These guys won't abandon their comrades", then they will build their tactics aiming for that point. Continuing to lose the matches due to saving your comrades will lower your ratings. What you guys need in the future games is the resolve to abandon your comrades who go down in front of your eyes. Sona Sitri has shown you that during the game in the summer holiday. I'm not telling you to abandon your comrades during the real battle. But keep that in your heads during the games. Roxas, you know that you'll face that when the time comes. –The one who has to survive till the end in the game when you are the King is you, and not your servant devils."
I know it'll be difficult, sacrificing my comrades in the game. Though, if the situation does come to that, I hope I'm strong enough to stand it. I then took a breath.
"Kiba, Gasper. It seems like we have to be resolved.", I said as Kiba nodded.
"You mean the resolve to abandon our comrades who fall in front of us during the game right?"
"Yeah, we need to -make Rias win the Rating Games.", I said.
"Y-Yes! That's excatly right~!", said Gasper as he still had rice in his mouth.
"That's why lets be defeated while smiling for Rias. Except we are to be taken down after giving it our all, and let's be defeated while taking on the enemy head to head. We would look uncool if we were to show our back to our enemy. Let's take them on face to face and fair and square and then be defeated."
"Yeah."
"Yes!"
"Well that sure sounded cool, right Azazel-sama?", asked Donny.
"Yeah.", said Zazy.
"Let's get back to sparring! I want to keep going.", I said as Zazy then called me.
"Roxas, come here for a bit.", he said.
He has a lecherous face for some reason. This better not be something he thought up.
"If it's something lecherous, I don't want to hear it."
"No, it's nothing like that. It's just the new figurines for the Gundam Dragon. Check it out."
Zazy took out some a small figure.
"What's this?", I asked.
"It was decided that Gundam Dragon was to collaborate with a hamburger chain in the Underworld. It's a toy which comes from when you order the kids meal. This is the toy of your mobile suit. This one here is the toy of Rias aka Gundam-princess."
Wait, I have a feeling this will piss me off. Though an SD Gundam of my mobile suit and a toy of Rias in her pilot suit.
"There is also a gimmick to it. You get a bonus when you collect both of them. When you poke on Gundam-princess with your figure…."
Zazy moved his hand of the toy of my mobile suit and pushed the breast of the toy of Rias. And...
[Iyaaan.]
SMACK!
I hit Zazy with a paper fan.
"I knew it. You used that idea you wanted to try for the show. It is lecherous."
"You didn't have to hit my head."
"You do know the concept of a large mobile suit pressing a girl's breasts would actually crush them, right?"
"Well, not like this."
I can only facepalm from that.
"Listen Roxas. Can I leave Akeno in your care?"
My eyes then widened from what Zazy said.
"You probably know, but Akeno hates Barakiel and the fallen-angels. Since Barakiel came this time, she won't listen to me as well. And her relationship with Raynare and the other fallen-angels staying with you is becoming strained. The only man who can talk to her properly is you. –If something happens, please support her. I can feel safe if it is you."
"Alright, but I'll want more info on her situation. I only got some of it from Obaa-sama."
"Want to hear all of it? –Though if you hear it from me, I would talk as if I'm supporting the fallen-angels side since I'm the governor of the fallen-angels. At the same time if you hear it from Akeno it will be full of hatred. If you want to hear it, then hear it from Sirzechs or Grayfia. Those two will tell you from the proper perspective."
"Yeah, it's better to get it from the perspective of a third-party.", I said.
"…..I'm sure you realised it after living with her, but there is a part in Akeno where she is emotionally weak. Usually she acts as the admiration of the school students, one of the two great onee-sama who is covered with elegance. But when that is removed, the one there would be a girl similar in her age. The most obvious time was when you were defeated in the match against Sitri. The Queen who has to be the most calm acted differently to that of the King's tactics."
I know what he means. There are times she's confident and other times that she appears weak and fragile.
"There will be times when she shows those sides of her to you, so try to do something about it when that happens."
"I'm already trying to think of something to help her. I got contact from her mother.", I said as Zazy' eyes widened.
"You did!? What did she say?"
"She wants me to fix Akeno's relationship with Barakiel. After that..."
"After that...What did she say then?"
I looked away, blushing.
"S-She said that it would be okay if I married her.", I said as Zazy laughed happily.
"I see. That's great. Well, she did have a good relationship with your mother. I bet she would be happy if you became her son-in-law. Though, I wish she would be alive to actually see it. Her own daughter being married to the man Akeno chose.", said Zazy.
"I didn't know that happened Roxas-sensei. Was it from your dream?", asked Kiba.
"Yeah."
"I see."
"Also, about the Juggernaut Drive.", said Zazy.
"Don't worry. I won't use it, I don't want to die after all. I'm already trying to figure out a different power from that. One that's stronger than that."
"I see. That's good that you're already looking into it. May I suggest a hint for you?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"Because of the influence of Dual Juggernaut Drive, it should be in the state where the thoughts of the past Boosted Gear possessors are released. I asked Ddraig, and found out that the negative feelings of them are trapped within the Sacred Gear. It is basically like a curse, and it seems like they are trying to use the power of darkness to control you and rampage so they can drain your life to the Sacred Gear. Not to mention, the black hole from the Creation Gear is also a curse that was made from the Boosted Gear."
"That's bad."
Boosted Gear is cursed with negative feelings. And those then transferred to the Creation Gear. Not good.
"They say that the families and people close to the past possessors have become unfortunate due to the curse. That's why if you eliminate the curse…the negative feelings, then instead of the Juggernaut Drive, I made the logic that you might be able to attain a power that rivals Juggernaut Drive without trimming your life. For that, you have to go deep into the conscious of the Sacred Gear and release the thoughts of past Sekiryuutei's from their negative feelings."
"What about the Creation Gear?"
"It's most likely you'll find those that had it, but never awakened it."
"So if I put them to rest, the curse will be gone and then create a new power that isn't Juggernaut Drive?"
"Well, that's basically it. Putting to rest the thoughts of the past Sekiryuutei and Andromeda's past possessors, try to do that. Ddraig, Andromeda, help him out with it."
{Yeah, that's okay, but the thoughts of the past Sekiryuutei are so covered in deep darkness that even I nor Andromeda won't be able to approach them.}
[It's really thick. Even if I made something to break through, it would take thousands of years to do it.]
"The Gundam Dragon Roxas Hyuuga will do something about that."
Yeah, I have to fix this too. Otherwise, I'll only make things worse for Rias and the others.
"Roxas. I believe in your chances. Each one of the past Sekiryuutei was devoured by the power. Your talent is also high with the fact of having the Creation Gear with you. I believe that you are the embodiment of possibility that will bring you a better future not just for you, but for everyone around you. You know, it's been a while since a dragon got a unique name right? Gundam Dragon. Your physical body and demonic power is high, but not at Vali's level. But the meaning for you being the Gundam Dragon, means that you will overcome adversity, just like the heroes in that anime. Use your guts, effort, and creativity to become the strongest Cosmic Sekiryuutei."
"Yeah!"
I have to get stronger and believe in the future I want to bring. I have to fix a lot of things. AKeno's relationship with her father. Koneko's relationship with Kuroka. The Sacred Gears that I have. I guess I have to be the repairman for a lot of things. I then resumed my training with Donny, Kiba, and Gasper after thinking that. Maybe if I can fix these problems, then maybe...Rias, wait for me. I think I might start to realize something.
Few Nights Later
Those of us from the house minus the monster girls, Zazy, Jack, Odin, and Rossweisse were inside the wagon of the eight-legged warhorse called Sleipnir. That horse is really big and strong, to be able to pull a wagon of this size. It makes the horses my uncle have seem small. And were also flying at night. The ones outside on guard are Kiba, Xenovia, Irina, Barakiel, and Donny.
"The Japanese 'Yamato Nadeshiko' sure is good~. Geisha girls are the best~.", said Odin while laughing.
"You girls aren't disturbed by this are you? I mean your boss with Odin, perving out?", I asked.
"It's those two who have fun doing things like this. It's a bit disturbing, but at least he's having fun.", said Raynare.
"I'd prefer if you perved out on us instead.", said Kalawarner.
"Hahaha, you should do that Roxas. They're asking for it.", said Zazy while I facepalmed.
We've been getting dragged to various places in Japan with Sleipnir. We went to the Kyabakura in the metro are, some amusement parks, and sushi restaurants. We were sightseeing Japan like what Odin wanted. We couldn't enter some of the places because the high school students being with us. I could go in, but I prefer not to. Even those two idiots tried inviting me, but i declined, calling me a 'party pooper'. At least I'm taking this job seriously. I looked at everyone who were a bit exhausted. Asia was leaning her head on my shoulder, sleeping. Akeno, on the other hand, is AFK. Her mind is elsewhere and her aura says "Don't talk to me." Man, and I thought the Greek Gods can be a pain. At least the Athena of our universe isn't completely quirky, hiding her snacks in a secret compartment from Ares. Odin is a total perv enjoying his night out. Really throws all the legends about him out the window. It's also almost time for the meeting with Ama-chan. I got a call from her a few days ago. I did warn her about Odin's perv tendencies, in which she'll keep it in mind.
"Odin-sama! It's almost time for the meeting with the Gods of Japan, so please lose that mindset of being on vacation. At this rate you will be yelled at by other people when we return to our homeland.", said Rossweisse calmly.
I know she's at her limit. Seeing your boss act like this when something important is happening soon can really drain your patience.
"Geez, you are a woman who doesn't know how to lighten up. How about you relax a little? That's why you can't even get a single man."
"This has nothing to do with me not having a b-b-boyfriend! I'm not s-single because I want to be!"
There she goes, crying again. I decided to comfort her.
"Odin, can't you at least take this seriously. Besides, we got company.", I said as the wagon stopped unexpectedly.
Zazy and Rossweisse were on alert when I said that. Sleipnir cried out. I noticed the outside group were in battle formation. I got outside to see what's going on in my Quanta Armor. I started the countdown for Balance Breaker as I know this guy will be too much for the Quanta Armor. He has a really evil look on his face. He wore robes that were similar to Odin's, but in black. Rossweisse realized who this guy is and Zazy clicked his tongue. He looks familiar to me. If I'm right then this guy is...
"Nice to meet you everyone! I am the Evil-God of Northern Europe! Loki!", he said with a smirk while lifting his robe.
Great, the asshole of the North is here. He was one of the guys I had on my list of suspects on who would try to sabotage the meeting. Everyone else had shocked faces, saying "No, it can't be." What a pain in the ass. Zazy flaps his black wings and exits the wagon.
"If it isn't Loki-dono. To meet you in a place like this. Do you have some business with us? On this wagon is the chief-God of Northern Europe Odin-dono. Your action is something done while knowing that, no?", asked Zazy calmly.
"Nothing much. Our chief-God left our organization to get in touch with other factions, and that is very painful to endure.", said Loki while crossing his arms.
Cry me a river asshole. He sure sounds as evil as he say he is. Zazy then changed his speaking manners.
"You are quite arrogant to say that up front, Loki.", said Zazy as his words were filled with anger.
"Fuhahahaha, if this isn't the Governor-dono of the fallen-angels! Normally I wouldn't want to meet you or the devils, but it can't be helped. –Along with Odin and the others, you shall receive my punishment."
"So it's okay for you to get in touch with other factions? That's contradictory."
"It's okay if it is to destroy other factions. I don't agree about having peace. It is your religion which stepped foot on our soil and spread the bible after all."
"…..There's no point saying that to me. Say that to Michael or the deceased God from the Bible.", said Zazy while scratching his head.
"Either way, it is a problem for the chief-God Odin to negotiate with the Gods of the Far East. Then we won't be able to have the day of "Ragnarok". –What is it you wish to obtain by trading for the information regarding Yggdrasil?"
"Forget it Zazy. This guy a total d-bag, right Roxas?", said Jack.
"I think the Asshole of the North has to leave, now!", I said which pissed off Loki.
"Asshole of the North!? You'll pay for that!", said Loki.
"I never thought the Asshole of the North could get pissed off that easily. Can't you take a joke?", I said as everyone else laughed.
"I sure can. But it only works if I'm the one pulling it.", said Loki angrily.
Zazy then points his finger and then asked.
"I will ask you one thing! Are your actions connected with the Khaos Brigade? Wait, if I remember, you weren't an Evil God-sama who would answer honestly."
"I feel sickened that you would mix my opinions with those foolish terrorists. –I came here of my own will. And Ophis has nothing to do with this.", said Loki without care.
Hearing that, Zazy loosened up.
"…So you are not from the Khaos Brigade. But this is also a problem in its own way. I understand, geezer. So this is the problem that the North faction carries, huh."
When Zazy looked towards the wagon, Odin and Rossweisse got out. Odin activated a magic circle under his feet and moves in the air along with the magic circle.
"Hmm. There are still hard-headed people and that's the current situation we are facing. There are fools like this one who come out like this.", said Odin as he stroked his beard.
"Loki-sama! Your actions exceed your authority! Doing something like pointing your fangs towards the Chief-God! This is unforgivable! You should make an argument at the official meeting!", said Rossweisse who already changed into her armor.
Loki didn't even listen to her.
"A mere battle-maiden shouldn't get in my way. I'm asking Odin. Are you still planning to continue doing something which is outside our Norse world?"
"Yup. Talking to Sirzechs and Azazel is ten thousand times more interesting than talking to you. I want to know about Japanese Shinto. They also have an interest in our Yggdrasil. After we make peace, I'm thinking of exchanging our cultures by sending out each of our messengers.", said Odin, replying normally.
"What's the matter Loki? Scared of what's outside the North so you have to hold Daddy's hand?", I taunted.
I could hear a lot of laughter from everyone. Zazy mostly.
"Bwhahahahaha. Now that's a good one."
"Enough! ...I have confirmed your plans. Such a foolish act. –Let's have a display of powers here then."
I started to feel uneasy. His overwhelming hostility starts to pierce my skin.
"So I can take that as a declaration of battle right?", asked Zazy as Loki smirked.
"Take it as how ever you want it to be."
I then saw Loki get hit with a wave. I look around to see Xenovia with Durandal out. I guess she swung at him. There's a lot of aura coming from the sword.
"Victory goes to one who makes the first move.", said Xenovia calmly.
If only that were true Xenovia. Loki is someone who's far above your power alone. I might be able to use Creation Gear against him, but who knows what tricks he has up his sleeve.
"It seems like it didn't work. To be expected from a Norse God."
I look back to see Loki standing there like nothing happened. Yeah, this was the obvious outcome. He's too strong for Xenovia right now.
"Holy-sword huh. It has impressive power, but it isn't enough to take on a God yet. It's no different than a gentle breeze."
Kiba creates a holy-demonic sword in his hand, Donny and Irina with swords of light. Loki laughs from that.
"Fuhaha! Futile! Even if I look like this, I'm a God. A mere attack from a devil, a fallen-angel, and an angel is nothing.", he said as he points his hand forward slowly.
I know that he's gathering energy in his hand. Allowing to shoot that is bad!
{Welsh Dragon Balance Breaker!}
Countdown's over. My Scale Mail comes out, replacing the Quanta Armor. I charge myself up.
"Rias! I'll be using promotion!", I said as she confirmed.
My computer unlocked the Wear Packs for promotion. I got the Queen Pack for my promotion to Queen.
"-Oh. That's right. I forgot that the Cosmic Sekiryuutei was also here. You have quite some power on you. –But."
I can see particles glowing in Loki's hand. A compressed shot.
"It's still too early for you to take on a God!"
I charge my GN Satellite Cannon to max power and fired when Loki was about to shoot.
{Boost x20}
Our shots fired and the two forces collided violently and blew up.
The shockwave came at me and my comrades. So even a full power shot with that would be no match. I saw smoke coming from Loki's hand. I then saw him smile.
"...That one actually hurt. Though, it's not like I held back completely. This is truly amusing. It certainly makes me happy. So I will have a laugh then. Fuhahahahaha!"
I knew that a shot like that won't stop him. All I can do is analyze his style. We can't beat him now, but in another fight, we can take him. Rias and Akeno then came out of the wagon, spreading their wings. Rias is in battle mode with her crimson aura radiating from her body.
"Crimson hair. House of Gremory….was it? You must be the blood relative of current Maou. Two leaders of the fallen-angels, one angel, many devils, and on top of that the Cosmic Sekiryuutei is with you. Odin, for a mere guard, this is a bit overboard don't you think?"
"A fool like yourself ended up coming here. It turned out to be the right decision after all."
Loki nods at Odin's words and made a stronger smirk.
"Very well. Then I will call it.", said Loki as he spread his robe.
"Come out! My adorable son!"
Uh oh. If I remember correctly, his sons are Midgardsormr, a Dragon King, and Fenrir, the God-slaying wolf. A rift opened in space, which one is it. From the spacial rift, a 10-meter tall wolf appeared.
'Tch. Fenrir, huh. This will be a problem.'
{No kidding Partner. He's dangerous. Avoid him if you can.}
[Careful with the fangs and claws. They can tear through the armor.]
'Thanks for the warning.'
"This is bad….. You guys, don't lay your fingers on that giant wolf! Roxas, keep your distance from it!", said Zazy.
"I know Zazy. It's Fenrir."
[-!?]
Everyone was shocked from what I said, but understood the reason for their trembles.
"Fenrir! Impossible, in a place like this!"
"…This is certainly bad."
"That wolf will tear us apart if we're careless."
Kiba, Rias, and Donny understood the enemy and were on high alert. Loki was patting Fenrir.
"That's right. You should be careful. This one is among the top-class of the worst monsters that I have created. After all, this one's fangs are something which can kill any God. I haven't tried it, but it should be effective against Gods from other religions. It can give mortal wounds whether you are a high-class devil or a legendary dragon.", said Loki as he pointed at Rias.
"I actually didn't want to use the fangs of my Fenrir on those not from the Norse… Well, having this child learn the taste of the blood of those outside the Norse world might be a good experience for him."
I moved quickly to protect Rias.
"-The blood relative of Maou. Tasting that blood will also become useful for Fenrir. –Kill her."
Fenrir howled and charged for Rias.
"Not so fast!", I said as I slashed Fenrir with the GN Sword V and used the Sword Bits on him.
However, at the moment of hitting Fenrir...
"Roxas...", said a shocked Rias.
"You okay, Rias? Any injuries?"
"N-No, I'm okay. Thanks to you for protecting me.", she said as I held my gut.
Bastard, he got a lucky blow on me! I know I hit him hard, but Fenrir looks fine. I was already coughing up blood. I noticed the claws on the front left leg covered in blood.
"Roxas!"
"Roxas-sensei!"
Rias and Akeno made a scream like cry.
[I tried to bring out more armor to that spot, but it seems that he went through that too.]
So even Rommy adding in armor was no good. My stomach feels hot right now. I definitely need a medic. I move back to the wagon where Asia was.
"Roxas-sensei! Please come here quickly!", said Asia as she was crying.
She got the healing gun out and tried to send the healing power to me.
"No, I won't let you. Cosmic Sekiryuutei, even if it was just for a moment you were able to follow Fenrir's movement. This is truly terrifying. I will get rid of you before you become a threat.", said Loki as he ordered Fenrir to attack me.
If I get hit be that, it'll be bad. I'll have to use the Quantum Teleport to evade. But...
"Lokiiiiiiiiii!"
Zazy and Barakiel each released a spear of light and holy-lightning at Loki with max output.
"Even without using Fenrir, just two mere fallen-angels won't be able to stand a chance against me.", said Loki as he made a magic circle.
Judging from the equations, a shield using Norse calculations. The attack was blocked. I could see on the equation a few multipliers to block the attack.
"-! Norse magic! If I remember, their magic is more advanced than the magic of our religion! Just to be expected from the World that has greater magic and sorcery than our World!", said Zazy with disgust.
"How about this!", said Jack as he fired the Buster Rifle.
Loki used another defensive spell.
"Ha! That weapon isn't enough to beat me.", said Loki as he deflected the shot from the Buster Rifle.
I think I'll have to update that.
"Then I will use the same magic!", said Rossweisse as she made a lot of magic circles with the same equations, but for offense. It was a full-burst attack! I knew she has great potential. This level of power could probably match that of middle or high-class devils. Loki's defensive magic circles moved to protect him and block Rossweisse's magic attacks. I know she's strong, but Loki has more power and experience than her.
"Now it's my turn.", said Loki as he swung his hand to the side.
Fenrir was now looking at us, with cold, emotionless eyes. Koneko and Xenovia moved to protect me and Rias and act as a shield. They know they can't beat that. Do they plan on giving their own lives to save us?
...No! I don't want this! Not again! I then saw a light pass through my sight. It passed Fenrir at light speed. This is...
{Half Dimension!}
The space distorts while Fenrir was in the center of it. His movement was sealed by the distortion.
"Vali!"
I got smacked by Vali on the head.
"You bastard! Putting that video on the net!", said an angry Vali.
"Hey, you slapped me to wake up after the whole Juggernaut Drive incident.", I retorted.
"Whatever. It seems you're okay if you can say something like that."
Vali coming at the nick of time is nice. But now, he's acting like a total jerk. Well, I did see this coming.
"Oy oy, was the Gundam Dragon wounded?", said Bikou, riding his golden cloud.
I wonder if it's name is Nimbus. I think it is.
"-! Oh my, so it's the Hakuryuukou huh!", said Loki as he smiled happily.
"How do you do, God of Evil Loki-dono. I am the Hakuryuukou Vali. –I came here to eliminate you.", said Vali.
After hearing Vali's declaration of war, Loki made a stronger smile...
"I am satisfied after seeing the Two-Heavenly dragons. –I will retreat for today!", said Loki as he brought Fenrir back to him.
He then turned his robe and made a big distortion, enveloping himself and Fenrir.
"But, on the day of meeting the Gods of this country! I will come here once again! Odin! Next time, Fenrir and I will definitely tear the chief-God's throat!", said Loki as he vanished.
After the fight, Asia was healing me. At least the pain in my stomach is gone.
"Thanks Asia.", I thanked her as Asia had tears in her eyes.
"Roxas-sensei! I'm so glad!"
"I can't die and leave you alone, right?", I said as Asia hugs me.
"...Sensei, I'm glad you are safe.", said Koneko.
Her hands are filled with ki, to strengthen my natural healing.
"Thanks Koneko.", I said as I patted her head.
"...Nyaa, Sensei."
"I'm okay now. Where's everyone else?"
The ones in the wagon were me, Asia, and Koneko.
"Rias-oneesama is talking outside with everyone. ….Also Hakuryuukou-san as well."
"Does it have anything to do with the video I posted?"
"...Not entirely.", said Koneko.
I got back up slowly and left the wagon. It was already parked near Kuou Academy. And it's still night. I walked towards where everyone was. I then heard Vali.
"To make Odin's meeting successful, you will need to take down Loki correct?", said Vali as he looked at everyone.
"You won't be able to fend off Loki and Fenrir with just these members. And also because of the Hero-faction's attack, the Underworld, the Heaven, and the Valhalla are in a ruckus. So they won't be able to send more people to your aids."
No one can argue with him. But now, after gathering the data, we'll be ready for Loki's next attack. Vali's eye's and mine met. He made a bitter smile, but I could tell he's still pissed about the video.
"Roxas! Are your wounds okay?"
"Yeah, I'm good now." More than that..."
I looked at Vali. I also noticed Bikou, Arthur, and Kuroka. I guess they're wondering what I'll say.
"You know you can't beat him alone Vali. He's stronger than you think. I even managed to gather data from the fight.", I said.
"I know. It's unfortunate but even the current me won't be able to take on Loki and Fenrir at the same time."
I knew it. Even Vali can't do it with his group alone.
"But..."
He then looks at me.
"It's a different story if the Two-Heavenly dragons were to join forces."
[-!]
Everyone became shocked at Vali's suggestion. Though, Vali's group aren't even shocked.I knew something like this would happen. Vali continued.
"For this battle, I'm saying I don't mind fighting alongside Roxas Hyuuga."
A/N: For those wondering why the updates are slow, it's because I was sidetracked in doing the fun thing with Umbra580. It's pretty lengthy, the story that is. Next time, The Joint Army. Setting up the army to fight Loki and Fenrir. Maybe a prank on the Trickster would be fun and ironic. Here's an omake from the story we were doing. Might not make sense to you, but whatever.
More Painting with Azure Orca and Ovan.
Roxas: Oh yeah. I got the C4 with each paint color ready. This is gonna rock.
Aura: Normally, I wouldn't condone pranks like these. But in this case...I'll make an exception. Orca took my cookies one time. I still want my cookies.
Roxas: Here you go Aura. *makes chocolate chip cookies*
Aura: Thank you Roxas.
Vince: Anyway, let's go beat Cubia. But most importantly troll Haseo, Orca and Ovan. Just give me a signal when to start.
*meanwhile*
Roxas: Hey is that Azure Orca over there?
Azure Kite: Yeah.
Roxas: Oh let's do this.
Vince: *Cracks knuckles* Leave this to me. Just get ready.
Vince: Hey Orca! Why do you look like a transgender looking troll with make-up on your face? Is there something your not telling the World?
Azure Orca: ...! *starts chasing Vince*
Roxas: *bumps into Orca* Oops sorry. *snickers*
Azure Orca: *runs at Vince*
Roxas: *makes maniacal laugh while pushing the detonator*
BOOM!
Azure Orca: *confused that he's colored pink*
Azure Kite: *takes pictures*
