Disclaimer: I only own the plot.
It was another peaceful day—
Bam! (The sound of meteor falling from the sky)
–I take that back. There's nothing peaceful about this! Currently running for our lives me, Rias, Akeno and Tabitha were avoiding the rain of meteor which seems to be aiming at us. What kind surreal scene is that!?
"We should be safe here." Rias said as I nod although I'm preferred somewhere else to hide but… well considering it our lives on the line I better not be picky. I'm kind of glad that I even input the sewer Data when creating this area. Who knows it can be useful in hiding. The Npc Kokabiel doesn't seem to be attacking when we was out of sight. He must have been looking for us right now. Though I wish I didn't include the smell as well cause this place stink.
"Fufu… that gave me a some thrill though I prefer if the situation is reverse." Akeno said and for some reason I feel like I should stay away from her immediately. She look like the type who love to inflict pain on other. Maybe she an 'S'.
"So… mind giving us a full explanation here?" Rias look at me so were Akeno and Tabith- wait! She supposed to be on my side!
"Ah… well, first tell me what do you want to know…?" I can't answer her question if I don't know what she wants to ask in the first place.
"First, why don't we start how did you even create a clone of Kokabiel? Not to mention his strength is far greater than the original." Sigh… I'm a bit lazy on explaining things and Tabitha explanation is to complex to understand to begin with.
"Well… remember the fight with someone that have power equal to Maou? It the same situation here except that this Kokabiel is drawing out his power from Issei Energy."
"Issei energy?"
"Part of Issei that had been missing from him right now… in other word his Lust." At that she narrows her eye at me as if telling me to give it back. but I ignore her as I explained more about. The Kokabiel here unlike the original Kokabiel draw his power from Issei energy meaning that currently he have almost Infinite amount of energy within him.
Unlike the three characters that I draw out from another Universe they were power up from all the Evil feeling that humanity gave out. Because of that it takes three full days just for me to return the energy back to normal so that the facility could operate normally.
"So… if we wait for him to run out of energy than he will just disappear?" Akeno ask and I have to say that a good idea if you're willing to wait for more than a hundred year for that to happen. After all Issei energy could even power up all Magical appliances in underworld for more than Hundred thousand of years after all.
"Then our only choice is defeating him…" Rias said seeing no other choice. We already tried escaping using teleportation magic but that Ajuka somehow mess with the system the last time he was here. As long as we're in Battle royal mode we can't escape from here unless we defeat the main target or being defeated ourselves and considering the system was unstable thanks to Issei energy there might be a chance for us dying if we were defeated so it better for us to avoid that if possible.
"Ahahahaha… you sure know how to joke Rias. Do you really think we can defeat him? You don't even stand a chance against the original even with Issei Boost. How did you supposed for us to beat him?" I make a sarcastic comment. True that with our current power, equipment and so on we're doesn't stand a chance with a being who survive the old war between the three great faction with an unlimited use of Magic. It would be suicide if we just charged straight there.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Hm? Why did all of you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?" Rias, Akeno and Tabitha are all looking at me as if expecting something.
"Please go out there and beat him for us." Rias said casually which I reply.
"DO YOU WANT ME TO DIE!?"
"Um… that not a bad Idea as well…" This girl… she seriously thinking on sending me to do a suicide mission by myself.
"Maa… maa… we won't achieved anything by sitting here so the least you can do is distract him for two second."
"Um… Akeno-san… your body is giving out some sort of lightning there…" I have a bad feeling about this.
"I'll put some grass on your grave later." Tabitha said. Grass? Not flower? Is that how low she think of me?
The three girls slowly move closer to me. I tried to move back but my back hit the wall sealing of any escape road for me. Rias caught my left shoulder while Akeno held the other.
""Off you go~"" With that said the two threw me through the Sewer entrance as I found myself outside.
"I'LL REMEMBER THIIIISS!" I shout as I found myself being hit by the light outside.

"You know he could really die out there." Charlotte said after seeing Saito flying of outside.
"Don't worry… I've seen him withstood Sona magic like it was nothing so something like that wouldn't really kill him. That guy have the tenacity of a Cockroach after all." Rias said being unconcerned. By something like this she meant that he was about to face one of the leader of Fallen Angel which happen to have and Infinite MP right now. Is that really okay?
Then again Charlotte had been with Saito for a while now so she at least knew that he'll be able to survive somehow. From her observation Senpai still have many more trick up his sleeve that he haven't shown to anyone yet. Perhaps this is the good chance to observe… guess not. They still have something else to do.
"So… is there any way for us to get out of here without using Teleportation magic?" Rias Gremory look at her as if she knew what she was thinking.
"There is… since Senpai is acting as a Distraction right now it should be possible to go there right now." Rias nod at her answer as if expecting something like that.
"Is there any reason why he didn't know about this considering the way he react it feel like he has no knowledge of this." Akeno ask and she was right. Saito did not know about this back door they were talking about.
"I built it in secret from him." Was Charlotte answer. The two of them just nod as if that explains it.
"Anyway… this is kind of Risky considering that if the Npc Kokabiel ever noticed this road it may result on him capable on existing on the outside world without any limiter in him. It something which shouldn't ever be allowed." Charlotte warns the two with a serious look.
The Emergency escape that she built allowed a user to escape from the lock Dimension but at the risk of allowing any data from artificial dimension to escape as well. That is why she didn't object when Rias and Akeno Onee-san told Saito to be a bait.
"Here we go…" Tabitha answer as a circle fills which line and some sort of number appear beneath her.
Both Rias and Akeno could feel the distortion in space as Charlotte activates her spell. Which this they should be able to escape outside.
A hole open in front of them as Charlotte make a gesture for them to went in. The two jump into the hole follow by Charlotte… inside they found themselves to be in a place fill with number floating around. Beneath them was something that appears to be a floor made of glass.
"It only a straight line from here… let-" Whatever it is she want to say was halt as a figure stood in front of them.
"Sen-"her word was interrupt again as the figure went for the attack brandishing his sword. The three of them jump out of the way as they avoid the attack.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Gugugugugugugu Boom!
The sound of Meteor vibrating in the air as it crashed on the ground pierced through my ear.
"Whoa!" I shout by reflex as one of the meteors almost hit me but I managed to maneuver myself in the air with to wings on my back. Sigh… I wish I could use that Machine again… what is it called… [Infinite Stratos] I think… if I have that I could breeze through all this attack like it was nothing.
The problem is that, that was one in a million chances only. Even if I tried to use it again I might not end up with the same ability considering how many Parallel Universe exist out there.
"Incoming attack!" At Derf warning I look at Kokabiel as I notice a hundred… no a thousand Spear of light about 5 times my size heading at me at full speed.
[World Door!]
A hole open in the space in front of me as the thousand spear of light went inside it. not too far from Kokabiel the same hole open up as the spear of light that went inside go out through there as it shot out at Kokabiel back.
"Heh… taste your own attack for once." I said to him and of course there no way he would reply since the Npc is just a copy of the original without a will on their own. Not to mention they can't exist in the real for too long except in this artificial dimension which were created by the VS Terminal.
The Npc Kokabiel raised his hand facing toward where the World door had opened and as soon as the spear of light about to hit him a Barrier form completely blocking all the spear of light from being formed…
[Explosion!] quickly I cast a small Explosion but it was enough as a void explosion form and as soon as the barrier touch the Explosion it disappear allowing thousands of spear of light to past through as it head to Kokabiel…
Shukshukshukshukshukshukshukshukshukshukshukshukshuk!
I can hear the sound of perking sound but because of the sudden smoke forming I can't make out of what exactly happened.
….
A second… a minute… nothing had yet happened after the piercing sound had gone. Did that do it? I wonder but still I can't help but feel anxious. It can't be help considering the last time we fought him it almost took all of me and Issei combined power just to beat him and yet here I am defeating him alone…. It unbelievable isn't it?
*Zwoosh* as if answering my question the sudden burst of wind blow away the smoke as it reveal the form of Kokabiel… I can see some damaged part on his body but alas it wasn't really much that it could be consider a damaged at all.
The problem right now was Kokabiel which his hand thrust forward and a Black sphere of energy focus on his hand. I recognize that one… Kokabiel did use it during our fight before and if I remember it name is…
[Black Star!] Yeah... that it- oi!
[Haste!]
I quickly cast haste as I barely dodge the attack by a hairbreadth.
*KABOOOOOMMM!*
The black sphere of energy hit the ground as a loud explosion engulfed the entire area. The backlash of the explosion cause a huge explosion that I can't even worry about my surrounding as I more focus on balancing myself as to not get blown away by the shockwave.
A moment passes as a smoke around me clear and as soon as the surrounding becomes clear my eyes widen.
"Did we change the place of battle somehow?" I can't help but asking that considering what had been a residential area earlier had turned to a wasteland in just that one attack. If not for some part of destroy building scatter around I would have though we'd have changed location already.
I knew I'm the one that set the data but most of it was based on the original strength so I would have no way of knowing just how strong it is until I actually see the Npc in action. To think that kind of attack could destroy this whole area with ease…. I wonder what would happen if I fail to stop his attack during our fight last time.
Burrr…. I shudder just thinking about it. Why does this world have to fill with such powerful people? It make me wonder why people didn't know about them already… oh wait… they already knew it just a matter of believe I guess.
*Swoosh* I can hear the sound of cutting air as I raised Derf by reflex facing the direction where I heard the sound coming.
*Clang* my sword was met with… a sword of light which was held by Kokabiel. He really doesn't even give me a chance to rest at all. unlike the original Kokabiel which is underestimating us during the fight this Kokabiel was serious in the beginning which make this much more harder.
"Grrrr!" I tried to exert some strange but alas Kokabiel still overpower me in midair as I find myself being push back as the two of us lock sword. There no way for me to overpower him in strength with just the force of this wings which were create by [Transform]. At the very least I need something like that Infinite Stratos flight ability if I want to fight with him on par. While this was happen Derf slowly absorbed some energy from his sword of light but it didn't do much as the part which got absorbed immediately regenerated by itself.
"Hah!" I suddenly found myself being push back by Kokabiel as I lose my balance and then….
Shuk!
"PARTNER!" I can hear Derf shout but for some reason I feel like I lose my energy to even reply to him.
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Gasp!" What was that? Sona want to ask someone as she suddenly was attack by the sudden nauseous feeling. It feel like something bad just happen.
(What wrong? You lost you focused all of a sudden?) Nyx ask from within her.
'No…it nothing… must be my imagination.' She answer back as she return to her work but she still can't shake this bad feeling that she feel right now. She hope nothing had happened.
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
[Windy Icicle!] An arrow of ice form around Tabitha as it shoot out at the enemy.
[Haste!] in a blink of an eye the enemy destroy a dozen of ice arrow as he stood there no looking threaten at all.
*Bzzzt*
Lightning strike from one side while a blast of magical energy from another angel.
Before the attack hit a bright light engulfed the sword as it change shape to a Katana and the enemy easily swipe out a blast of magical energy and instead of exploding the blast just hit the sword as he swung the sword to where the lightning blast is as the magical blast was directed to the lightning blast as the two attack met causing a small explosion.
"Is this really him? He doesn't look this strong from the fight we have just now?" Rias said as she quickly raised a barrier to block another incoming strike as the barrier quickly shatter by the sword. He was about to go for the hit but his movement halt as he turned around to block another blast of lightning which got absorbed by the sword.
"This is Senpai without holding anything back…" Charlotte answer. That's right… the opponent that they fought was none other than Saito… or rather his Npc considering that the real Saito is still fighting with Kokabiel right now.
"Ara… ara… to think he was holding back even against Buchou…. Just who does he think he is…?" Akeno said as she fire a wave of flame and like always the attack got absorbed but that what she expected as Buchou and Charlotte standing between him both fire a magic attack him. even if he could absorb magic his own weakness is that he was left vulnerable during the absorption and with a long wave of fire it will take a while for him to finish absorbing it which give them the chance to hit him directly.
*Boom*
The two attacks collide at where Npc Saito is causing a smoke to rise from the collision.
"That take care of it…" Akeno said feeling confident but Charlotte doesn't seem to think the same. And it appear she was right as she suddenly felt a presence behind her… which a quick turn she thrust a blast of lightning toward the presence behind her and… it went through the figure like it was cutting through air.
"What this?" she can hear Rias voice as she look around she notice that the same is happening to the other two as a figure of Saito stood near them as they attack went through him like meeting an air.
"This is… an Illusion." Charlotte mutters and yet Akeno find it hard to believe because she can actually feel the presence in front of her. It hard to believe that a mere Illusion could even give out some sort of presence and yet here the prove.
She watch the unmoving Saito in front of her… there no doubt it was Illusion after what happened and yet she can still feel the Illusion in front of her as if it was alive.
"W-what!" Rias seem to be shock by something and sure enough the same happen to Akeno as the smoke clear it revealed many copy or rather an Illusion of Hiraga Saito standing in the middle.
At the same time all of the Copy move at the same time as it divided into three group as they head for each of them.
Akeno fire a lightning based attack which cover a wide area but all of them seem to only hit the Illusion as it went past them.
"Kya!"
"Charlotte!" Akeno shout as she saw Charlotte being blown away by the real one… or at least she though when all of a sudden she can feel a pain in her stomach and as she look down she saw Saito with his sword strike her which send her flying.
Fortunately Devil body is much harder than a human is which make her able to whistood the slash from the sword.
"Guh!" admits her fight she seem to heard Rias voice… he must have gotten to Rias as well.
Akeno find herself hitting something behind as she fall to the ground. She tried to stand up but find herself unable to do so… all she could do was lift her head and found out that Charlotte and Rias seems to be in the same situation as her.
To think that the three of them lose so easily… is this guy really human?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It dark… Where am i? For some reason I feel cold just what happened? There are many questions and yet I found it to be answered easily as a memory from a moment ago enters my mind.
Oh yeah… i... Died? It was still hard to believe but Kokabiel sword did went through my body just now. So does that mean I'm dead? Well… maybe Sona will revive me as a Devil if I'm really dead… I shouldn't worry too much about it… it weird that I'm so calm even if I'm dead.
"Oi… wake up…" Oh… is the angel come to pick me up? Or is it a Shinigami? Hm…. Where would I go if I died. Hell maybe. There no way Heaven would accept someone that associates themselves with a Devil.
"I said wake up." The voice again. Do whatever you want… I don't really care where you want to take me. I really want to go back to sleep. With that in mind I ignore the voice as feel myself sleepy. Come to think of it… if I'm dead how the heck did I even feel sleepy? Such a weird system this afterlife is.
"I SAID WAKE UP DIDN'T I! *BAM*"
"Gfu!" A sudden pain to the stomach jolt me awake.
"ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME!- oh wait… I'm already dead… if that the case- DO YOU WANT ME TO DIE TWICE IN A ROW!" I shout to the voice or rather a figure of a woman with a pointy ear and- wait a sec…
"So you're finally awake. If you gone back to sleep right now you would have died for real…." The woman which I recognize as Sasha said with relief. And what with that if I gone to sleep I died… i thought her kick would have put me to sleep forever if I don't have high resistance to a pain.
"You're… Sasha? What are you doing here? Is this Afterlife? Am I dead?" I throw this question at her. since she was here that must mean I'm dead right considering that Sasha have died long ago. Hm... Not to bad when I thought about it. if I could meet Sasha here then there a chance for me to met Louise. There no need for me to go through the trouble on finding a way to return.
"What with that look as if you glad you're dead? First of all you're not dead… YET. Your body barely alive on the outside world. if nothing be done you really going to die for real." She said to me which come my next question.
"How did I'm still alive?" After receiving that kind of attack right near my heart I thought I'm dead for sure.
"I pull you into this dimension before you died for real… be thankful!" she said and for some reason I feel some similarities to Louise the way she talk. Maybe it just my imagination.
"I see… thank you for saving me." I said to her honestly. No matter how much I want to meet Louise again I prefer to do it while I'm still alive.
"D-don't misunderstand, it not like I did it for you… I'm only saving you because your connection with the void. That all!" For some reason her face went red as she look the other way around. It really feel like Louise… is it really my imagination?
"Anyway… what did you mean by barely alive?" I ask her. This is a matter of life and death after all so I need focus my attention on this.
"Just like I said… your body won't hold back for at least another minute in outside world." Hearing that I can feel myself going pale but as if seeing through me she spoke. "Don't worry… I set the time here to move differently from outside world so right now barely a second have passed in outside world."
What a convenient ability. I think that Greek Goddess Nyx had done the same using the power of Chaos. Perhaps because Void is connected to Chaos it possible to do something like that… interesting. Maybe I should tried it when I got the chance considering that I still alive that is.
"How-"am I going to survive this… I was about to ask her but stop myself as feel like something is filling my memories. "Guh… this is… Halkeginia… Chaos… Brimir… disappear…" I feel a headache but soon the headache was gone as I finally remember… that talk that I had with Sasha the last time I was with her.
"So you're finally remembered…. Well… by this time you should've learn more about Chaos so I don't see any reason on sealing it this time around." Sasha said casually but I still find it hard to sort out this new information.
"So is true…" I said slowly. Considering what I have learn about Chaos lately and what a strange phenomenon that happened to the counterpart of the residence in Halkeginia… it only prove what she said is all true. Then… all of what I'm doing is useless… no wonder I can't find a way back to Halkeginia… there are no Halkeginia to return to… at least the one that I knew of.
"As I'm sure you know the power of Chaos is what had created the world that continent of Halkeginia reside in." That right… from what she told me before… Chaos was sealed away by 'someone' in an empty dimension but what that 'Someone' doesn't know is that even In an Empty dimension the very power of Chaos gave birth to a space and time in that dimension.
Soon… the spirit was born… Fire, Wind, Water, Ground…. The spirit serve as the foundation of life in that world. Many more creature was born due to that and among them were what was called a 'Human'. Time passed as the Dimension expands more due to Chaos influence.
Of course all of this doesn't go unnoticed by this 'Someone' and because of that, that someone send a being called [Valiag] to the world to destroy all of what had been created by Chaos. Even so… thing didn't go as planned as the human, and many more creature live in that world resist them… but it proven futile because the power of Valiag completely surpassed all other race… until that happen.
A man… who are called Brimir stumble upon the a fabric of Chaos power and using that power he fought against the Valiag but even that wasn't enough to truly defeat the Valiag. Time passed as the living being struggled against the Valiag but the Brimir in pursuit of more knowledge about his power managed to gather more of Chaos Power. With that power he created four being or rather ability. [Gandalfr], [Windalfr], [Myoznitnirn] and the last one which is the very reason the lost of Valliag [Lifdrasir]. At the cost of one life Brimir succeed on eliminating all the Valiag from the face of the World not leaving any trace of them.
The world was at peace and the power which is normally known as Chaos were name…[Void]. Time passed but the 'Someone' doesn't give up with the defeat of Valiag he sent something else into the world. that something was Dub as Anti-void Existence by people as it very reason for existence is to bring down a void user.
Brimir fought with it and the result is….
"Yes… he managed to sealed the being inside the a gate which was named as [Shaitan Gate!]" Sasha finish for me. that right… he managed to seal the being but at the cost of losing control over himself. A few days after the sealing Brimir noticed that something change within him.
Chaos is just a force of power… it doesn't have a will on it own but since it just a force… it purpose is to be used. Because of that the user will have an urge to use the power no matter what the situation is. Brimir though he could control the power but something else happen that cause him to lose to the desire.
"The Elf which is where Brimir hometown lives divide themselves…. The Majority of them were afraid of his power while some still supporting him. But one day… due to the fear an Assassin went after Brimir life and that mark the day he lose control of his power" she explained.
Because of that Brimir done something that he shouldn't have done. Using his power he killed almost half of the Elves that live there… Sasha knew this and because of that it leave her with no choice but to kill him with her own hand.
That how Sasha which later to be known through the story book as a Saint of Anubis or Hero of Ivaldi. After stabbing Brimir with Derflinger….. Doesn't look like he's here. He could have at least told me about it if he know something. Then again he'll probably just make some excuse about his memories or something.
Anyway… the stab was enough to bring Brimir back to normal but by that time his wound is already to much that it can't be save even if he want to. Before he died he split his power into four… and then send Sasha together with a few Elves which understood his situation to an unknown world. The reason is to hide the very power of void as far as possible from the [Anti-Void Existence] as to prevent the seal from breaking.
"I see…" I mutter as I remember what she told me before. Now that there nothing that could connect this world and the new world which is Halkeginia the space between them was cut through and the two dimensions was separated forever. By now the other world would probably had long gone considering the very reason that it exist was taken away from there.
"hehe… hahaha…. hahahahahAHAHAHAHAHA…." I laugh while tear fall down from my eye. "After all the talk of Saving Halkeginia I end up destroying in instead? DON'T JOKE AROUND!" I shout at Sasha but she only look at me with pity as if she was expecting my own reaction. After all I did act the same the last time I was told this. That why… she sealed my own memories about the talk.
Louise, Siesta, Tabitha, Princess, Tiffa… all of them… disappear and it all because of me. All because I take the very power of Chaos outside of Halkeginia. The very reason why Halkegnia didn't perish 6000 years ago when Sasha bring the Seal form of Chaos to the other world is because of the four void item and Ring which act as a catalyst of void power to keep the world stable.
"I know how you feel and if it make you feel any better the world won't disappear immediately. It probably takes at least a hundred year before it disappear." Hearing that I perk up my head.
"Then… if we return Chaos back to that world it could still be saved." I said hopefully but my hope was crushed by her next word.
"It impossible… after all as soon as it loss connection with the world the time of that world will be moving faster than this world. By this time a million year should have passed which doesn't really mean much considering it disappear in a Hundred year."
It over… what reason do I have to live… oh wait I'm already dead. Guess there one good thing about being dead. With this there a possibility I could met Louise if her soul could ever get here that is. Sigh… at least Louise and the other managed to live they life after I gone. That lessen my guilt a bit.
With this I could finally rela- gufuh!
"W-what do you think your doing?!" I held my stomach in pain. Despite the real me in outside world is about to died I can still feel the pain from being kicked in the stomach.
"I should ask you that… why did you look as if someone who is prepared to died?! Is that really okay with you!?" she look angry but right now… I don't think I have any more reason to live.
"Isn't it fine like this? No one would mind even if I'm dead. I don't even have any more reason to live!" I shout at her… yes… there no more reason…. No more reason… no more….
"Did you really mean that? Look me in the eye and said that again! Say that no one would mind even if you're dead!"
Her word was harsh and when I look at her I can see tear fall from her eyes. Is she… worry about me? Not only that but in my mind a figure of Souna appear. Why did I think of her at this kind of time!?
Souna… the first girl that I met when I return here. At first I was avoiding her not wanting to be drag into something else but I finally resign myself. Well… if being her Familiar could let me find a way back to Halkeginia I don't mind. At least that what I thought at first.
She was a serious kind of girl which only makes it interesting for me to tease her. Without me knowing I found myself completely comfortable on her side. She have become part of my life already. It not just that though… there also Tsubaki… she was at first wary at me but she open up to me soon. For what reason would someone like me which aim to go back to Halkeginia need to befriend this people? There no reason right? But still I found myself becoming attached to them.
Being part of student council…. Doing an activity together…. Yura, Meguri, Momo, Kusaka, Ruruko… even Saji… all of them had become something irreplaceable for me. yes… even Saji who seems to hate me for some reason. I still don't know the reason though. Anyway… the student council… I think that even if someone said I could return to Halkeginia but at the cost of being unable to be with everyone I would have reject the offer. That how important is everyone to me.
Of course my world is not only in Student council. Meeting with Issei… dealing with his perverted mind and his Occult club… it was fun. Many thing had happen… meeting the counterpart of the people that I know in Halkeginia was a shocked. First it was Tiffa, then Siesta and after that Tabitha appear. There also Julio and Vittorio… not to mention even Colbert Sensei could be in this world.
It not like I won't meet them… despite the fact that they are different people I can still see part of them inside their counterpart. That right… if I died what would happen to them? I feel like wanting to punch myself from a moment ago. If I died of course they would feel sad! That much is obvious.
"So… what is your answer?" Sasha look at me again and as soon she her eye met mine I can see her face soften.
"Isn't it obvious? I would live! For the sake of comrade who is still believing in me I will live on with my life!" I answer her and this answer comes from the bottom of my heart. Even if I indeed lose any reason to live I found another. Sona… for some reason I don't want to see her sad and that why I would live. To protect her smile? That doesn't sound so bad.
"Good answer… that what I like about you- i-I mean don't get the wrong idea… it not like I really like you or anything!" For some reason her face went red again and this really resemble Louise. It definitely not my imagination. "Anyway… your body won't hold out much longer…" She said and she was right because I suddenly found myself losing a bit of my focus as I feel the world spin around.
"So… how do I survive this?" Seeing that I can't think of any way to survive this… so I hope she have some idea.
"All right listen… I'm going to tell you about a void spell which not even Brimir managed to discover it while he still alive." A void spell that not even Brimir know? Is there such a thing?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Guh!" Rias tried to exert some force but all she succeeds was making the pain much more worse. How pathetic. She can't even move her body after that one strike just what kind of strike is that. from what she remember before the attack hit the Copy of Saito seems to mutter something like [Explode] or something as the blade was surrounded by a spark of electricity.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Slowly she can hear the sound of footstep as it become louder until she could feel a presence infront of her. managed to lift her head as she saw Saito- no… let called him Dark Saito for now as he look down at Rias with a face lack of emotion.
With the same expression he raised his sword ready to strike down Rias. Is this it? Is this the end for her?
"Issei…" she found herself saying the name of the person she loves as Dark Saito swung down the sword…. the least she want is to see Issei face again for the last time but guess that wont be happening. Goodbye… Issei…
"BUCHOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"
*Clang* *Crash* the sound of sword clashing with each other. Rias was shocked here it was the person that she want to see very much standing in front of her holding a sword in his hand protecting her.
"How dare you do that to Buchou! Even if you are Senpai I won't forgive you for that!" Issei declared as he point his sword at the Dark Saito which just stood up after being blown away by Issei attack. A few second later many footstep can be heard.
"Sorry were late." It was Kiba as he appeared together with Xenovia, Asia, Koneko and… if she wasn't mistaken that was Sona Rook. What was her name again?
Issei, Kiba and Xenovia surround Dark Saito as he watch the three of them as if assessing the situation while Asia went to heal Rias, Akeno and that girl Charlotte with the help of Koneko which are gathering them.
"So… is this really Senpai? Because I don't have the same feeling when I was facing against Senpai." Issei said which isn't really wrong.
"It an Npc."
"""?""""
"To make thing easier think of it like a clone of Saito…" Charlotte told them.
"A clone you mean like the clone of me when Senpai stole the Excalibur. I think it happen when Buchou and the other are naked…. Why did they gone naked in the first place?" As expected this Issei doesn't have any memories of his perverted activities and not to mention there not even any reaction from him as he just talk about the event as if it was something normal. If it was the real Issei he would have went excited by the memories already.
But still the way he came to save her and wanting to protect her. It without a doubt that this is still Issei.
"Is that so… then let finish this quickly shall we." Kiba said as he created a Holy-demonic sword in his hand. Xenovia ready her Durandal… the other including the recover Rias ready to fight. No matter how strong he is if it was against all of them there no way they could survive if he alone…. At least that what she thought when all of a sudden a distortion appear the opposite side of Dark Saito as a figure emerge from the distortion.
"I-it a lie… Senpai should still be holding him right now! no… there no way he was defeated…. There no way he was defeated!" Charlotte looks in distraught. The fact that Kokabiel stood in front of them mean that either Saito was defeated or Kokabiel managed to slip past through him.
She hope it was the Latter… no matter how much she hate him it still wasn't on the level where she want him to died. There no way a guy like that could die easily.
Standing on one side was Dark Saito in a battle stance and on the other side was Kokabiel giving out a massive surge of energy. The Gremory group together with Charlotte and Yura was sandwich by this two force. Is there any hope for their survival?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile…
"Wake up! Oi…Wake Up Partner! I said wake up damn it!" Derflinger keep shouting but Saito body doesn't seem to give out any sign of answering. As if all hope was about to be lost suddenly Saito hand twitch a little.
Finish! Or not... Phew… never expected for me to drag this on and what I never expected was for this Chapter to be a turning point for Saito and as well about the connection between Halkeginia and Chaos. By this time it should be obvious this was an Au considering the Info dump that I gave in this chapter.
Anyway… before we end this chapter I have some question to a few reviewers which I couldn't reply through the PM. To Goichi… just what do you mean when you said let Saito use different class like Saber or Archer? If possible I want some detail explanation and some logic on how exactly Saito is going to do that with the Ability that he currently possess. If possible I don't want to just create an ability that came out of the blue without connecting with what he already capable off.
Anyway… that all…. hope you enjoy this chapter and if you feel like the explanation was too vague please point it out what it is so I could give more fix it later.
See you later.
