Daichi's POV...One Week Later…
I grunt as a knock on the door can be heard, and that's when I noticed something. I am surrounded by women. Shirone and Asia were snuggled up to my chest. Akeno was laying on my right hand and Rias on my left. It didn't help at all that Kuroka was laying right on my crotch...or the fact that Rias was sleeping naked. That didn't help at all.
I somehow managed to sneak out of my bed, and headed downstairs, opening the door to reveal Azazel, the leader of the Fallen Angels. I grunt "The hell do you want, old man?"
Grinning, he waves a VHS tape "You've got to see this. Trust me Daichi, you'll be interested."
I sweatdrop "That had better not be Porn or anything like that."
The black/blonde-haired man waves me off "It's not porn or anything like that. I swear. I do think you'll enjoy it...now, do you have a VHS player? This hasn't even been run yet, and I wanted your opinion before I started this. It's called The Dawn of The Chaos Hero, and it's about you and your adventures. So, how about it?"
I shrug as the Chaos Edge appears "Sure, I don't see why not. You and I can watch it, and if it's good, we can show the girls."
So, we walked downstairs, and that's when Azazel popped the question that I figured he was here for "Are you doing okay? I mean, actually okay? You've been through hell in the past couple of weeks, what with Juggernaut Drive and that."
I grunt, gesturing to the now active Chaos Edge "Well, I've completed the Chaos Edge, and added one more jewel for Tiamat, along with Juggernaut Drive, so, I would say just peachy. Though this thing's taken over my entire arm, so I don't know what to do about that. Any other questions or can we watch the movie?"
He grunts "First off, it's not a movie, it's an Anime. Second off, I'm just making sure. You are the bearer of the now-completed Chaos Edge, which already could put you on par with a Maximum-Power Super Devil, if not stronger. And yes, we can watch it now."
As he puts it in, I must say, I am amazed. It was not only in high-definition, but it was amazing. The very first episode was definitely...amazing. It was a day in my life. I was the Chaos Hero, Kai Kukachi, and I had a couple of mates, just as normal. The only thing was that I had more mates than normal. I had Shirone and Asia as usual, but also Rias and Akeno, and Kuroka and Valiana were interested in me. It was hilarious.
Before I could say anything though, there was another knock on my door. That one woke all the other girls up, based on the fact that they were all wearing different clothes of mine, Shirone in one of my sweatshirts, and Rias in a pair of my shorts, and Akeno in one of my T-shirts. Even Irina came out in one of my sweatshirts. I sigh as Azazel snickers "Don't say it."
A knock is heard once more and I growl "I'm coming, I'm coming! Calm your tits!"
As I opened the door, I almost closed it again. Vali and Bikou were there, which was okay, as I surprisingly still let them in...mostly because of Kuroka, honestly, but that's beside the point. Ophis, the Ouroboros Dragon Goddess and the Leader of the Khaos Faction, was with them. I sweatdrop as the violet and white jewels of the Chaos Edge glow and Tiamat and Acnologia grunt "{Good day, Lady Ophis...what do you need of us?}"
The short girl grunts, but before she can say anything, Vali speaks first "As you now know, this is Ophis, and before you ask Azazel, she doesn't want to be apart of the Khaos Brigade anymore. It just isn't working for her, and she needs a place to hide. I figured that with Daichi and the others here, she could stay here and be protected, just in case."
While the three of them are talking, I squat down slightly "My name's Daichi. Daichi Fukada, the Chaos Calamity Dragon Emperor. So you're Ophis? Where are my manners!? Do you want something to eat?"
The short black-haired girl nodded "I am Ophis...food would be nice."
I blink and then smile, standing up as Vali, Bikou, Azazel and the girls argue about where Ophis is supposed to stay and how bad it is for her to be here and that "Come on then, Ophis-sama, let's get you some food. Do you like sweets? I know the place to get the best sweets around."
So, away we went, hand-in-hand. The funny thing is, even as I summoned Orihime to accompany us, nobody noticed that we left. Not even Shirone and Asia, who could easily just use the Mate Mark to sense my location. When I figured that one out, I just died laughing.
Ten Minutes Later…
I yawn, pulling the door to Naruto-Ji's shop open "Oi! Anyone home?"
I get a pleasant surprise in the fact that it is not Naruto Uzumaki, my 'Ji-ji' behind the counter...but Hinata Hyuuga-Uzumaki, Baa-san, my 'Grandmother'. I smile, waving "Baa-san, good to see you. It's been a while. Where's Naruto-Ji?"
She grunts, gesturing "The old fart's in the backroom, getting some stock ready to put out...so, who is this little lady, another one of your mates?"
I blush slightly as both Tiamat and Acnologia giggle like little school children at that comment "No, Grandmother, that's not the case, this is Ophis, the Ouroboros Dragon Goddess, and she is going to be living with me for a while...and if it turns out the way you're thinking, I'm going to be surprised and yet not at the same time. Now, can you get us some candy?"
She nods, heading to the backroom. As she leaves, Ophis looks at me, blinking nonchalantly "Why did that woman ask whether we were mates or not?"
I blink, shrugging "I'm not sure, to be honest...my grandma's like that sometimes. Just ignore her. It will be fine."
Ophis simply nods, and finally, Hinata Baa-san comes back, a platter full of chocolates "Here you guys go. So, Daichi, what are you doing with the strongest existence?"
I shrug "She's hiding out from the Khaos Faction, and is going to live with us. She doesn't know much about our world, so I figured I'd show her around."
Baa-san nods, walking back to help Naruto-Ji. As she does, I nod "Alright, do you know how to open chocolates?"
Ophis shakes her head. I can't help but smile. I quickly tear one open and pass it to her "Eat up. It tastes really good. I promise."
As soon as she bites down, I could tell that I had just addicted her to chocolate. Oh well, there could be worse things to be addicted to. As she chows down, I sigh "So...you don't have to tell me if you don't want to, but why do you want us anyway? All Vali-chan's told me is that you want to go back to the Dimensional Gap...why?"
Ophis' eyes soften "Because I want to have some quiet. How would you feel if you got kicked out of your home, the one place that you could be? How would you feel if you were only used for your power? I just wish to be in the quietness of my home, Chaos Dragon…"
Now, I knew all about bad plans. Believe me, I was the master of having bad plans, but I knew that this one was probably the worst I had in ages. I was going to get Ophis home, no matter what.
I nod "I know. I told you though, you can just call me Daichi, or Dai, or even Chi if you want. But...I can't promise the world, but I'm going to try my damnedest to get you your home back. Even if I die in the process. But, just know, if shit goes downhill fast, you can stay with us. The Fukada Mansion can become your new home, and we can become your family...if you want to. Now come on. I don't know how to get there, but we should probably get moving."
Ophis nods, an unfamiliar light in her eyes "Alright...thank you. We shall go."
And with that, we teleported away, leaving several bars of Chocolate uneaten. Oh well, we'll come back to it. We've got unfinished business to take care of.
Ten Minutes Later…
As we appear in the Dimensional Gap, I notice two things. One, I'm in Scale Mail, even though I didn't call for it. Two, my Scale Mail is different than before. It's still got most of the same color scheme, but with some red, blue and white through in. It's an interesting color.
I grunt "Tia, Acno? What's going on, why am I in Scale Mail?"
My first Dragon Partner spoke first "{I'm the one who put you there, and you got lucky that I did. If I didn't you would have been shredded by the pure pressure of the Dimensional Gap. Now, hurry up and get this crazy escapade over and done with, and don't die.}"
Tiamat, who I am coming to know and like better and better, growls, hitting Acnologia over the head "{Stop being an idiot and give Daichi support! He's doing a good thing and he's going to be fine! You're going to be fine, Daichi, you've got a good head on your shoulders. Just...make sure you keep your head where it belongs.}"
I sigh "Guys, stop it. We're going to do this. Now, Ophis, tell me where Great Red is."
The short girl, dressed in a Loli skirt, points at the massive red dragon roaring right towards us. I sweatdrop, narrowly flying out of the way "Found him!"
As he makes another pass, I have an idea. It's an immensely stupid one, but it's the only one I got. So, I do it, against my better judgment.
{Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!} {Calamity!}
Red lightning shoots from my fingertips, hitting Great Red head-on. It does nothing. I swoop out of the way again. As I make my next plan of attack, Acnologia growls "{Oh no...I can see it in your eyes. You've got a plan. Don't you fucking dare. Don't you fucking dare do it, Daichi. You will die!}"
I shrug "Well, it's either him or me, now isn't it? Besides, this isn't about us. It's about Ophis. It's about getting her home."
Tiamat figures out my plan, and growls "{I understand that you want to do this, but I doubt that Ophis-sama would want you to die for her! I know that the girls that you left back home wouldn't either! So please! Don't do this!}"
I chuckle "Who said I was going to die? Besides, I'm already dying as is. The Senjutsu Treatments are going slow."
Acnologia growls "{Yes, well, this will make it go even slower. Besides, who knows whether or not it will work! It's supposed to only work in Juggernaut Drive!}"
I shrug, evading another attack "We didn't even have time to test it out. Besides, who says I'm not going to use Juggernaut Drive?"
Tiamat shouts "{Kid, you are not an idiot! You know what will happen if you use Juggernaut Drive! You don't have enough lifespan to survive a long encounter in Juggernaut Drive!}"
I smile, ducking yet another attack "I know what I'm doing, and I need you to drag me out of Juggernaut Drive. I'm only using it for this one attack, and that in itself will set me back to five years...if I did my math right. Can you do that? Do you trust me enough to do that?"
Acnologia grunts "{Damn you...if we get in trouble with your sister or your mate, I'm blaming you.}"
"I, who shall awaken, am the Heavenly Dragon who took the Principles of Destruction from God. I annihilate the Dream and inherit the power of the Infinite. I will become the Black Dragon of Destruction, and I will show you the Black Storm of Chaos!"
{Juggernaut Drive!}
As my armor changes, I quickly channel as much energy as I can, ignoring Ophis telling me not to do it, that we can get help and come back. As I overcharge myself, Acnologia roars "{Now or never, kid!}"
{Longinus Smasher!}
The large beam attack hits Great Red head-on. The only damage that I could see, as Acnologia pulled me out of Juggernaut Drive, was scuff-marks on his scales. I sweatdrop, narrowly avoiding getting killed again "That didn't work out the way that I thought it would!"
Before I can try to attack Great Red, using the rest of my magic up, Ophis grabs my hand, teleporting us away. I wouldn't have given up, but I guess I didn't have a choice. At least Ophis got me out of there when she did.
Five Minutes Later...Menos Forest…
I sit underneath a tree, gasping for breath, "Well...that was fun."
Ophis puts her head against my chest as she sighs "I am sorry, Daichi. I honestly believed that we had a chance."
I growl "I know that we had a chance, but I'm just not strong enough. Not yet anyway. That's going to change though. I refuse to let anyone go without a home. Ophis, would you be willing to come live with me and the girls?"
The black-haired girl pauses, looking up at me. She then nods, putting her head back down "Yes."
I grin, putting my hand on her head "Good...we'll figure something out. Now, we should probably get home. Guaranteed that the girls are out and about on a search party or something."
As I put Ophis onto my back, starting to walk back, Irina and Shirone soon came into view, the others following suit. Keiko grabs my cheeks, pulling one in each direction "Where were you?! What were you doing?"
Acnologia, the traitor, grunts "{Daichi fought Great Red and used Juggernaut Drive.}"
As the girls glare at me, I shake the Chaos Edge "Traitor! You said you wouldn't tell them!"
Acnologia grins "{I had my claws crossed.}"
Even Irina was pissed. I narrowly avoided getting destroyed by a light sword and then I figured out how to disarm her. I smirk "Wow, Irina Shidou, evolving from a short tomboy into a beautiful girl. Who would have thought that would have been possible?"
As the Angel girl blushes, Kuroka growls, grabbing me by my ear, Akeno and Rias following close behind. As she drags me away, Ophis hops off my back, walking along with Valiana. Yup, I knew that I was screwed, but I never thought it would end like this!
Ten Minutes Later…
I found myself tied to a chair, a light in my face and I sigh "Girls, why am I being interrogated?"
Kuroka kicks my leg, her hair tied back into a ponytail "We're the one asking the questions. Now, why did you use Juggernaut Drive?"
I shrug, playing along "Because I didn't have any other options."
Rias growls "Why were you fighting Great Red?"
I grunt "Because everyone needs a home, though Ophis is going to be living with us now."
Akeno puts her hand on my cheek "Do you realize exactly what could have happened? You could have died! Do you realize that? Do you realize what it could have done to all of us who love you? Those of us who want to be with you?"
I blink as Rias facepalms, her face matching her hair "Akeno. I love you, and you are practically my sister in everything, but seriously?!"
I smile slightly "Aw, girls. You could have said something. Now, can you let me go? I believe that Senjutsu Treatment is coming up." At that, Kuroka drops her Obi, walking up to me, completely naked. Instantly, mini-me started waving, though I leaned back far enough that nobody would notice.
She smiles, clambering onto my legs "We could just do your Senjutsu Treatment right here...nya~"
I grunt as Rias and Akeno glare at her "Normally, I would say yes, and normally I would be very happy to have an attractive, naked woman on my legs, but I would rather keep my dick between my legs, thank you. So, I will have to say no."
Kuroka sighs, ripping through the ropes and slipping her Obi back on "Damn it...I thought I had you this time."
I shrug, making sure my arms and legs still work "Better luck next time, kitty. Now come on, I believe it's time for another Senjutsu Treatment."
As the two of us walked away, I winked at the other girls "Also, anytime you girls want to go out on a date, let me know. I'm available any time that isn't going to be considered Senjutsu time."
Five Hours Later…
I realized something after Rias reminded me of the up-and-coming Kyoto Trip after Kuroka and I got done. I am the most ill-prepared boy going. I've got nothing that's on the packing list. So, I decided to see if one of the girls wanted to accompany me. As it turns out, a couple of them did. So, Irina, Kuroka, Ophis and I had ourselves a little shopping spree and I treated them to dinner.
As we were walking back, we passed the old Wine Factory, and that's when the shit-show started. Almost instantly, the Chaos Edge appeared and Ophis and Acnologia said simultaneously ' '{We're being watched.}' '
I grunt, laying my stuff on the ground "Of course it can't ever be a peaceful night. Why would that ever happen? Kuroka, I don't suppose you can sense anyone?"
The black-haired Nekoshou growls, her tail swinging as her eyes look around "I can, but they're all over. I can't get an exact idea of where they are at."
I nod back to Ophis, who is straddling my back like a horse "Well, I'm willing to bet that I know what they're here for and who they are. Girls, stay back. If I go down, you girls take Ophis and run. I'm done letting her be hunted like a dog."
{Balance Breaker: Apocalypse Dragon Scale Mail!}
I blink as my Scale Mail appears, this time in a new form. I can feel all sorts of power coming from me now. I grunt as different parts of my armor turn red, blue and white, along with the typical navy and violet "Where the hell was this when I was fighting Great Red, Acnologia?"
Tiamat grunts "{Kid, the Chaos Edge had to go through another Evolution to reach this stage. While the Sacred Gear had evolved, which is why it took over your arm, your Scale Mail had not been completed. Now, I suggest you focus, because there is a missile coming at you, idiot!}"
I yelp as everyone scatters, getting hit head-on. As the dust settles, there is not a scratch on my armor. I grin "Alright, alright, alright! Let's get this party started! Chaos Edge, awaken!"
The gauntlets of the Scale Mail glow as I charge forward, slamming into the guy who launched the rocket at me in the first place, "Who the hell are you guys?"
The big man smiles "I am Heracles! I am the descendant of the Heroic Heracles, and I will break you, just like the Devil you are.."
I chuckle, the jewels of the gauntlets glowing brightly "Sure you will. You forget one small thing though. I'm no Devil. I'm a mother-fucking Dragon, bitch. Let's finish this!"
{Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!}
{Dragon Cannon!}
As the girls dealt with the other person, I completely blew Heracles away. As he flew up, smoking, I didn't bother to check on his pulse. I didn't care. I needed to go help the girls. I came down, landing with my boot on the swordswoman's face.
As my helmet disappears, my scales form, my eyes turning a bright yellow as a small white mask forms over my face and I hiss "Submit or be killed, I do not care which. Know that if I see you again, I will not hesitate to end your life before you can even blink."
That got the girl to hesitate before she gave up her sword. I grunted, returning to my normal form, and then I picked up my bags and started to walk away, Ophis resuming her place on my back. As the girls caught up, Irina blinks "What the hell was that?!"
I shrug "An intimidation idea that I had. Nothing more, nothing less."
It was pretty obvious that she didn't believe me, but at least she left it at that. For that, I was very grateful, but I just knew that Keiko had a lot of explaining to do. What just happened was not normal, and if it continues to progress, I don't know if I can stop it. I could already tell that it was going to be a long night.
(Author chuckles evilly) "I don't apologize. I know I'm not known for complete cliff-hangers, but I couldn't resist. Also, if anyone can tell what's going on with Daichi, well, congrats. You'll be seeing it soon. The next chapter will be the first part of the Kyoto arc. Daichi will unlock Rebellion and will unlock his three new forms. He will also meet Yasaka and Kunou, and boy, oh boy, will that be interesting. But first, the very first thing that will happen is that Keiko tells Daichi about his family line, and what's going on with him now. Alright, I've got other things to think about, with the fifth chapter of For Love Of Literature, and even a new story, with a bunch of Bleach crossovers, if I think about it. I've been getting more and more into Bleach, so yeah. That's a wrap! Peace!"
