"*whistle*...looks like I went a bit overboard"
Pierce and the Crimson Satan stood in a room that looked like a small tornado had ravaged.
"You think?"
"Perhaps"
"Just follow me, we have another problem"
They walked along a hallway, the silence was killing him.
"What now?"
"I'm not sure, I feel a strong holy aura somewhere down here. It scares me"
"Holy shit….. The Devil King is scared of something?"
"Ha, ha, very funny"
"Thank you, I try"
They arrived at a door that was frozen over with ice, Pierce could feel a familiar signature inside and smirked behind his helmet.
"Vali Lucifer"
"What!?"
"Vali is in that room, along with his merry band of misfits and another demon"
"How should we get ins-*SMASH* never mind"
Pierce had destroyed the sealed door before the devil could finnish speaking, he was in his bigger form.
They went in expecting to be attacked, but found the large room empty.
"Well….they were in this room, they were here long enough to leave traces of their presence"
"That doesn't mean that there is nothing else in here"
They searched, but found nothing.
"Well, i'm going home, call me if you need anything"
His phone rang, it was his father.
"Whats up old man?"
"Are you home right now?"
"I just got home, why?"
"Go to your desk"
"Ok…."
He walked into his room and saw a folder on the desk.
"The folder?"
"Open it"
Pierce was very confused, but he opened the folder to see a picture of himself in his armor. It was taken when he was fighting the demon.
"This is a sick way of asking me to kill myself"
"I didn't do it, I'm afraid we might have a traitor in our ranks. And thats not an order for you to kill yourself, its a picture that was given to the local news"
Pierce turned on his TV, then looked at the news channel.
"...son of a bitch….they're saying I did that"
"Yeah, now the humans are out looking for 'a man in a green suit'"
"What do I do?"
"You need to lay low for a while, don't leave your home"
"Ok, I can do that"
"I'm going to do some investigating"
"Don't die"
"thanks"

Kel was standing in front of three mirrors with each one having a shadowed figure.
"The brat is good" mumbled the old man.
"Grandmaster, do you want me to use my influence in the Grigori to kill him?" asked the middle one with a feminine voice.
"Doing it now can be dangerous" replied Kel "But, you can send everything about him"
"What should we do, Grandmaster?" asked the one in the left with a male voice.
"I've sent some agents to get the second item we need" answered Kel "With the help of Sola'ana, they won't have a problem"
At that moment, a dark portal opened and Vali walked in with an individual armored with a boned armor and having a boned war axe in one hand, while having a certain individual in the other hand.
"You must be Cao Cao" said Kel as he walked to the teen "Wielder of the True Longinus that only works on the world of the livings"
"Who the hell are you…" muttered Cao Cao as he tried painfully to get up.
"Sola'ana" called Kel as the armored individual pushed Cao Cao back to the snow "Now if you would excuse me, I need to talk with my… associates. Wait here"
The old man and the others walked away and Kel gave to Vali, a golden medallion.
"What's this?" asked Vali.
"A power that would make the full power of the Great Red look like the power of an ant" answered the old man, making Vali and the others to widen their eyes "The Great Red might be the strongest being now, but that wasn't the case. There was a group of five dragons that were already strong individually, they were known as the Aspects, and they were five; the Aspect of Destruction, the Aspect of Time, the Aspect of magic, the Aspect of dreams, and the Aspect of Life"
"T-They were real?" asked Vali with a shocked expression.
"As real as me and you" chuckled Kel "But one of them tricked the others to put their power in this amulet, he also put his own, but not all his power, in the end his power got absorbed by the amulet since he forgot that he was still putting his power there. There was a great war afterward and all five died, with their powers being preserved in this amulet, letting the world to live in balance"
Vali concentrated his energy in the amulet before feeling a great pain. The others looked at him as he recoiled from part to part due to the pain.
"Is he… going to be alright?" asked Arthur, unsure to know if he really wants to know the answer.
"His body needs to adapt itself to the power of the five Aspects" answered Kel before walking to Cao Cao "Now your turn"

"Lay low he says, I can do whatever the hell i want"
Pierce was taking a walk to clear his head. The entire town was out for his head, not that they knew what he looked like.
Pierce then spotted something that brought a smile to his face, Cao Cao was sitting on the ground against a building.
Pierce walked up to him. "What do we have here?"
The man looked up at him, his eyes were devoid of expression and emotion. "What do you want?"
"What the hell happened to you?"
"Vali" he said with a small hint of anger. "The bastard sold me to someone, they took my Sacred Gear"
"Wait, you should be dead"
"I know, but I'm not. I live on to suffer the loss of my only power"
"Thats a bit dramatic"
A large wave of crushing power, Cao Cao was knocked out by the power, if not dead.
Pierce could barely stand, he fell to a knee. He refused to fall just from this.
He heard a chuckle and looked to see Vali, but he was different.
Scales covered his body, his eyes were draconic and hateful, and an amulet hung from his neck.
"Now who is weak?"
Pierce used all of his will to stand on his feet, the amont of power he was wielding was stronger than anything he has ever felt.
"What….happened …..to you?"
"I was given power which this world has never seen!"
A magic circle formed beside pierce, Great Red stepped out….then fell to her knees.
Her eyes were wide and staring at the amulet around Vali's neck.
"Impossible…...it was only a myth!"
"You….. how does it feel to no longer be the strongest?"
Pierce summoned his armor and switched to his second form. He could stand easier now.
"How….how are you able to stand!?" Red asked when she saw he was not unconscious.
"Don't get me wrong, it hurts like a bitch. But I won't fall, I refuse"
Vali rushed him and landed a punch on his chest, Pierce was sent tumbling through several walls.
Once he stopped, he slowly stood back up. He saw a shallow dent in his chestplate.
This isnt good.
Vali was on him again, he began to smack Pierce around like he was a pinball.
He was about to be hit again, but something stopped his fist.
"You will not hurt him" it was Ophis, she was holding Vali's fist in her smaller hand.
How was she unaffected by his power?
"Perfect" Vali grabbed Ophis and began to fight her.
Pierce could only watch as Ophis was knocked unconscious, a dark portal opened and took the dragon god away.
Vali shot a glare at him before walking through. His overwhelming presence vanished.
Another magic circle opened up, one that Pierce was glad to see. It was Sona.
She looked around until she spotted him. "Pierce!" she was in total shock when she saw the state of his armor, it was dented, scratched, and scorched all over.
"Are you ok!?"
"Yeah, I'm fine" He then fell backwards onto the ground.
His armor burst into particles and revealed the man to be unconscious.
"Idiot"

In the frozen wasteland, Kel waited patiently while trying to ignore someone.
"What is taking you this long?!" asked the person "The others are wondering why there's no advancement in the removal of the seal!"
At that moment, Sola'ana and Vali came out.
"What is he doing here?" asked Vali as he narrowed his eyes.
"As you see, Rizevim was just here for the moment… his final moment…" Before the man could react, a large dagger separated Rizevim's head from his body.
"What should we do with this?" asked the person who killed Rizevim.
"Take his body away, Garthik" ordered Kel "And make sure that the Devils are pointed as responsible"
"I think that you owe us a reward" stated Vali as Kel pointed to a chained beast that Vali recognized.
"Fenrir?"
"We took him, healed him and prepared him… just for you" said Kel "He's all yours"
