Caean charged Beithir, raising Freedom Bringer above his head, and charged it full of magical energy, turning it bright blue and brought the blade down only to see he had slammed his blade directly into ground, and Beithir had disappeared from view.

"Too slow!." Beithir growled as he appaered to the right side of Caean and slammed a mighty left hook into Caean torso, buckling him, cauing blood to pour from his mouth.

"Damn you!" Caean yelled as he tried to get to his feet only for a swift knee to land directly on his face, the sound of bones crunching from the strike could be heard as Caean was sent flying further into the quarry, only being stopped by the walls of the quarry.

"I thought you'd be tougher, Spawn of Cu Chulainn, but I see that your even more of a disappointment than I realised." Beithir cried as he approached Caean who got back to his feet and summoned Freedom-Bringer back to his hand.

"Say that to my face you bastard, are ye a coward!" Caean bellowed as he scanned the quarry looking for Beithir, only for the sound of fast moving air to catch his ear.

"I said you're a disappointment Caean!" Beithir roared as he appeared and through a hammer fist which Caean managed to block with Freedom-Bringer, sparks flying from the contact point between the armour and the blade of the sword.

"Is that all...ye got... i...could dae this all day" Caean remarked smirking, trying to make Beithir lose his cool, only for Beithir to through out his free hand and grab Caean by the throat and after releasing his wings he effortlessly flies into the sky, dragging Caean along for the ride, the two engaged in close quarters combat which lit up the sky

During this fight Issei had broke from the argument that was ensuing.

"I've got to do something, Caean's going to die if we don't get involved" Issei told himself as he decided stand in-between the two sides.

"Come you guys, snap out of this, look up at the sky, Caean's been dragged into the air by that bastard Beithir, we have to stop this argument or else he will die" Issei exclaimed.

"I wont allow you to help Issei, Caean has lied to us, he has shown himself to be unworthy of being a member of the peerage." Rias hissed as she looked to see the battle

"Didn't you hear what he said before he went to fight Beithir, he apologised for his lies and knew he shouldn't have done it, and is fight right now to fix what he caused...you cant leave him to die Rias, please..." Issei looked to see Rias's eyes where closed. But his gaze was taken off her when a flash of green appeared.

"Rias... I know this must be difficult for you, you hold to your honour and wish to uphold your families reputation and that is respectable but consider this...if you were in the same boots as Caean, losing your family and your home, would you have kept your oath, or would run and try and start afresh..." Ddraig droned.

Rias was silent

"I have had many wielders in my lifetime, and I tell you this, I wish they had the option to remove me, they either suffered from the burden of wielding my power, or lost their minds and abused my power, killing thousands... and I cant deny Caean broke his oath, that's a fact but he had lost so much that his oath was a burden that harmed him further, so giving up Beithir was right given everything he had done." Ddraig sighed knowing too well the danger of having such a powerful sacred gear, especially one as unwilling as Beithir.

"I see...but as you said Ddraig, he broke his oath, how can I trust that he wont break his oath to me, and put the lives of everyone here at risk?" Rias exclaimed putting her hand on her head trying to break down everything Ddraig had said.

"If I may Rias, can I say something?" Kiba asked as Rias turned to him and nodded

"You know everything that happened to me when I was taken by the church and placed into the holy sword project...I saw so much pain and suffering that I could not stop...i had people I wanted to protect but I was too weak, when you took me in I had lost what little I had, I was dying and you gave me a new life and I swore to stand by your side, but after I found out their where pieces of Excalibur, I was blinded by my hatred and I broke my the oath I swore to you...and yet you gave me a second chance, even though I was an oath-breaker you saw past that and knew why I broke my oath... I didn't deserve it I knew what id was wrong and you still gave me a chance...please see where Caean is coming from and give him another chance, just as you did for me." Kiba stated, at points stopping to make sure he didn't shed a tear, given the thoughts that where going through his mind. The pain of losing his friends and being tortured, the idea of breaking his oath and the harming those he saw as a second family.

"The peerage was silent as the waited for Rias's answer, only the sound of combat to break the silence. All of them mulling over what both Kiba and Ddraig had said

"Your right...I shouldn't have been so heartless, Caean has been through hell, and I didn't see that, I pushed my own narrative on him rather than rationalise what he said... I cant leave him to die!" Rias whisper turned to a mighty roar, As those who were sceptical of helping Caean had taken what Kiba and Ddraig had said to heart and looked at each other realising they had been too harsh.

"Issei, I need you to fly up to help Caean and take me and Gasper with you... Akeno, Rossweisse I need you to rain down a barrage of magic when I give you the signal...Kiba, Koneko, Xenovia, once Beithir's on the ground take him to task and Asia, I need you to support Kiba, Koneko and Xenovia once they engage Beithir.

!Hai," The peerage called as Issei changed into his Scale mail armour and And Rias and Gasper jumped into his arms

" Oh man, I feel like such a badass, two sexy babes in my arms...shit I forgot Gasper was a dude! Come on I cant have one moment where I don't fall for a trap!" Issei yelped to himself as he looked back and forth and Rias and Gasper.

!You ready Issei?!" Rias asked as Issei broke from his thought

!I um yes... Lets go!" Rias bellowed as he released his dragon wings and activated his armours thrusters and headed to Caean's position.

By the time he got their Caean was in a terrible state, his body was covered in gash's with chunks of flesh missing having been torn from the bone, and his face was covered in cuts and lumps, but he refused to go down, and kept on fighting, throwing himself at Beithir using he magic to allow him to stay in the air. Beithir on the hand was covered in Caean's blood, but no scratches marked his armour.

"I have to say Caean your tougher than I thought... So it seems your peerage have broken from their argument... a shame, I enjoyed feeding of their feelings, was a nice power boost while it lasted" Beithir growled as he saw the glow of his gem had dimmed slightly.

"Beithir! Get away from Caean you big blue asshole!" Rias yelled as he charged head long at Beithir.

"Come on Red Dragon Emperor, give me a taste of what you've got." Beithir hissed he turned to face Issei.

"Issei transfer your power to Gasper and Gasper as soon as He comes in close focus forbidden Balor View on him."

"Got it!" Issei cried.

"Okay...ill try Rias" Gasper whispered.

Beithir charged at Issei and released his claws, ready to strike.

"NOW!" Rias cried as Issei sent his power into Gasper who focused his full power at Beithir, who froze in place.

"What the hell..." Beithir growled as he realised what had happened.

"Take this" Rias raised her hands and summoned a large bolt of crimsion energy and shot it at Beithur, sending his frozen form to the ground, after which Issei rushed to the position and placed Rias and Gasper to the ground, Caean seeing this landed beside them.

"I thought...this...was my...fight" Caen gasped.

"I realised I was wrong... I'm sorry, now let me make it to you." Rias sighed as she fired a spell into the air, which signalled to Akeno and Rossweisse to rain down as much magic as they could muster, bolts of lighting and blasts of Norse magic tore into Beithir his armour starting to crack from the initial burst.

"you bastards..." Beithir hissed as he slowly rose to his feet, as if he was being weighed down by the Earth itself, his movements where sluggish which made him a perfect target.

"Now!" Kiba yelled as he charged at Beithir stabbing into Beithir with his holy-devil sword, followed by Koneko who ripped into Beithir's body, crushing his plates with each strike, will Xenovia landed a massive wave of energy from Durandal which torn large chucks from Beithir, revealing Alasdair.

"Alasdair! If you can hear me, fight back, he's using your body for his own purpose...don't be like me...fight back! don't let him have control" Caean yelled coughing up blood as he did so, resulting in Asia having to rush over to him and start healing his wounds.

"You tricked me you bastard...i thought we where on the same page, but you had be for a fool...i wont let you steal my freedom." Alasdair snarled from within the armour, and he started to resit Beithir controls over him.

"You cant hope to stop me, I may be weakened but I'm too strong for a weakling like you!" Beithir roared to Alasdair, all the while he began to move more swiftly again, still slower than before Forbidden Balor View was in effect, but enough to at least block a few hits.

"He's starting to break free... I cant hold...him for much...longer" Gasper hissed as he began to feel his powers weaken.

"Ill take him out with Ascalon...then its over... "

"No Issei, Alasdair's in there... I cant let him die." Caean mumbled.

"Issei, target his right hand, if you take that out then his gear will be removed, then Asia can use her magic to reattach the limb." Rias proclaimed looking to Issei who unsheathed Ascalon from his gauntlet.

"Okay. Ill try my best" Issei whispered as he activated his thrusters and charged towards Beithir only for Caean to run alongside, him.

"Caean what the hell are you doing." Issei gasped

"What I should have done a long time ago" Caean charged into Beithir and grabbed his right arm straighten it, despite the resistance"

"You cant stop me Caean your not strong enough..." Beithir hissed as he fought back.

"I know...but I'm not fighting you alone...remember...NOW" Caean growl turned to a yell as Issei flew in and with as much force as he could muster he brought down Ascalon onto Beithir's right arm, aiming for the wrist.#

No..." Beithir mumble was cut short when his hand was severed and fell to the ground, and turned back to its original form, with Beithir's armour melting away revealing Alasdair who fell limp to the ground, worn out by the fighting, as Asia rushed over and started to heal him, Caean grabbed the hand and removed it from the gauntlet piece and threw it Issei who handed it to Asia who used her magic to reattach the hand.

Caean looked at the gauntlet, took a deep breath and slowly placed it on his right hand, as which moment as soon as it made contact with his skin he felt as if a surge of electricity had flown directly into his views.

"Your trying this again... I wont let you take over...i enjoyed my freedom, and I would rather be refuse to fight rather than be forced into something i refuse to do!" Beithir hissed as he held back Caean's advance.

"I failed to contain your impulses last time, I wont let you take over ever again, you will fall into line and your power will be used to save people, not to kill for your pleasure but to make this world better!" Caean yelled as he mustered all his strength and raised his gauntleted fist into the air.

"Gaelic Dragon lord!" Caean bellowed as activated his final form, as Celtic symbols encompassed his form and began to create plates of armour that covered his magical form. And I a flash of white light a Caean emerged from the light covered a suit of scale mail armour, his blue armour, covered in Celtic symbols which glowed bright white as he stretched out, his wings emerged from his back and the true magnitude of the power he possessed took hold to those who witness the transformation.

"WHOA! You okay Caean!? Issei" yelled,

"I'm...fine, I had to do this, I had to prove I could be in control... and I am." Caean gasped, as he suddenly transformed back to his normal form, sweat pouring from his body.

"You did Caean..." Rias whispered walking over to Caean and placing her hand gently on Caean's shoulder.

"No... we did it" Caean sighed as he looked up from the ground to see the peerage looking at him and smiling.
