Review Response:
A10riddick: Loki applied curses to Ravel and Naruto in chapter 44. Well, you will have to read this chapter to learn what happens.
Redmen6blight: Cool name bro. Naruto doesn't know fox fire as his attribute is wind. But the tentacle monster is killed this chapter.
Tera12: Thank you, I hope you enjoy this chapter as well.
Fenris Silverblood: Okay, this chapter won't end in a cliff hanger.
TheB: Hey, been a while man. Yeah, I originally had the octopus form of his Version 2 Curse Mark as an omake, but since I couldn't think of anything to make Diodora look like, I said fuck it, and made him a tentacle hentai monster.
Hyuma: Yeah, I'll try to keep that in mind from now on, besides, this chapter I feel is very good. Everyone seems to like the hentai monster part.
Dig Saddler: Oh, fuck yeah, the guy from SAO was a deprived lunatic.
Hentailover6969: I hope there is a rematch too.
Werebeast: Yeah, it does, as Diodora really doesn't seem to care about them, as they are stated to be killed, and he doesn't fight for them, just his selfish goals to get Asia. Yeah, that is what helped inspire Diodora's curse mark design.
Harem:
Kunou (When she is 16), Koneko, Ravel, Kuroka, Xenovia, Irina, Rossweisse
OKAY, LETS READ THIS SHIT! I DON'T OWN NARUTO, ONE PIECE, OR HIGHSCHOOL DXD!
"Hey" = Speaking
'Hey' = Thinking
'Hey' = Memory
"Hey"= Sacred Gear/ Communication link
Chapter 54: Vanquishing the Horrible Curse
Naruto groaned as he slowly came to, seeing Kuroka and Ravel above him with their hands on his chest.
"Wha…" He mumbled as his eyes got heavy and he tried to get up, only to be pushed down by Ravel and Kuroka.
"Don't move, nya." Kuroka said in a state of concern.
Naruto tried to get up again.
"Koneko…" Naruto said in a mature sounding tone, since he was now much older. "Irina… need to… help…"
"You've done enough." Ravel stated as she didn't want Naruto to fight any more. "You awakened once, if you keep fighting, you might awaken again and we might not be able to stop you."
Naruto looked around weakly.
He saw Kakashi, Fenrir, Lee, Xenovia, Rossweisse, Ameyuri, and Gilga with Obito off to the side.
All of them were weakened, despite being physically healed, their reserves of magic and chakra were low.
Naruto grunted in pain, laying back down.
"Okay…" He gasped in a tired tone, taking deep breathes as he fell back to sleep when Kuroka applied chakra to his forehead, stimulating his brain to create the sleeping hormone.
"Hey…"
The peerage looked up to see Sabo arrive, landing on the ground as his fire wings vanished.
"Sabo, you're bleeding…" Ravel said in shock as she saw her brother's arms were indeed cut and blood coated his clothes.
"Yeah, the guy I was fighting was somehow using chakra, and it seems that Diodora and his lacky's also got that ability too." Sabo stated as he looked towards the floating castles.
"Should we go help them?" Xenovia asked as she was worried about Irina.
"No, we shouldn't." Kakashi stated as he sat down.
"Kakashi's right." Obito stated as he looked at the anxious teens. "We aren't in any condition to fight, and I don't think that Naruto could bear another death of a loved one."
This stung Rossweisse, Kuroka, Ravel, and Xenovia.
"I agree." Lee stated as he willingly, for once, to sit on the side lines.
Fenrir sighed, not really liking the fact they were going to sit out, but knew his loyalty was to Ravel and Naruto the most.
Rossweisse felt relieved.
'One less chance to use the Berserker Armor.' She thought with a cold chill down her spine.
Kuroka and Ravel, meanwhile, spent their time in silence as they tried to restore Naruto's body and mind from his awakening.
"But…" Ravel stated as she looked in the direction Naruto had come from. "We should have someone go see what was over there. There might be an injured comrade."
Fenrir perked up as he stood.
"I'll go." He announced to them.
"I will as well." Xenovia stated as she was getting anxious standing around.
"I will too." Obito volunteered. "I can use my Kamui more often than Kakashi, and send any injured here to get healed without aggravating wounds."
Now with a three-man team, Fenrir grew to his true size and allowed Obito and Xenovia to climb on his back to go look for survivors.
After several minutes, they found Sairaorg, Regulus (Back in human form) Misteeta, Coriana, and an unconscious Kuisha walking back towards the broken building, where Ladora, Liban, Beruka, Gandoma were currently unconscious.
Obito sent them to Ravel, and after they continued their mission, they happened to come across Saji, Sona, and Tsubaki.
With Gremory Peerage…
Diodora was swarmed by Rias, Akeno, Kiba, Irina, and Koneko while Gasper went to Issei's side, using his sacred gear to freeze Issei's wound in time, keeping him alive.
Diodora whipped his tentacles around him, hitting his attackers, except Koneko, who was focusing on Observation to avoid with Paper Art.
Once close, Koneko coated her hand in haki.
"FINGER PISTOL!" She shouted as she pierced through Diodora's limb, pushing through the squishy flesh.
Diodora winced and grunted in pain, but took the opportunity to grab Koneko's leg and tripping her, hoisting her into the air before slamming the Rook into the ground multiple times.
"So, I am a hentai monster?" Diodora asked as he held Koneko before him, a cocky smirk on his face.
Koneko spat right in Diodora's face, making him stagger once he was blinded.
"NOW!" Koneko shouted as Kiba and Irina moved through the long tentacles to get close, Sword of Betrayer and Hiramekarei cutting through them like butter.
"YOU LITTLE BITCH!" Diodora shouted as he channeled magic through the damaged limbs, cells regrowing the tentacles as he jumped back with Koneko still in his grasp before he threw her into Kiba and Irina, sending the three of them through the wall and outside, where all three started to fall.
Thankfully, Irina, Kiba, and Koneko were able to fly back with their wings.
Rias and Akeno took this chance to attack Diodora long range with Lightning and PoD.
"As if you one trick bitches could hurt me with that!" Diodora shouted as he evaded the magical attacks with his enhanced agility thanks to his tentacles propping him up like a spider's legs.
"Tell me, Diodora!" Rias shouted as she evaded his counter. "DID YOU REALLY FRAME ASIA TO GET HER FOR YOUR SICK PLEASURE OF HOLY WOMEN!"
Issei and Asia perked up a bit at those words.
Diodora laughed maniacally.
"Of course, I did!" Diodora shouted with a sick smile and happiness in his eyes. "You should understand why."
"Yeah right." Rias retorted in disgust.
"Well, hello pot name is kettle, have we met?" Diodora asked in smug sarcasm.
Rias wasn't amused.
"What does that mean?" Rias asked as she and Akeno circled around Diodora.
"We are both devils trying to get what we want." Diodora stated, posing in Dio's 'How many bread's have you eaten' pose. "You wanted that dirty dragon lech for his power, not because you cared about him. I wanted Asia, not because of her sacred gear, but to have as my slave."
Diodora took flight, gaining the high ground as Kiba, Irina, and Koneko were able to return through the wall.
"Don't try to say otherwise, you took in every member of your peerage, not out of love or care, but the desire to gain power over their abilities." Diodora stated in a factual tone. "'The Gremory family is known to be very loving towards their servants'. HA, another way of saying they manipulate them to get what they want!"
"YOU'RE WRONG!" Asia shouted from her place behind Diodora's throne. "RIAS IS A VERY LOVING PERSON! IT'S WHY SHE REINCARNATED ME!"
Diodora frowned in anger at Asia's words.
"If that is what you think then I feel sorry for you, Asia." Diodora stated as he lowered himself, landing before her and grabbing her face, pushing her cheeks up and opening her mouth. "Because I am the one who ordered the fallen to take care of you, as I wanted to resurrect you myself, and from what my familiar told me, Rias wasn't going to revive you. Meaning that dragon wanted you, just like I do."
Asia's eyes wavered, but didn't believe any word Diodora spoke.
Diodora let go of her face and turned to face the Gremory peerage.
"You hear that, Asia?" Diodora asked as he smirked. "Rias isn't denying my claim. Meaning she truly didn't care about you when she resurrected you as her Bishop."
Asia looked at Rias, who didn't look away, but guilt was evident so clearly even Asia could see it.
"LIGHNING!" Akeno shouted as Kiba shot forward.
Diodora stepped to the right, avoiding Akeno's attack, and then grabbed Kiba by the throat, hoisting him up and then slamming him head first into the ground, cracking the ground as Kiba's blood soaked into the cracks.
"KIBA!" Irina shouted as she appeared behind Diodora. "HIRAMEKAREI: RELEASE!"
Diodora ducked, chunks of his tentacles being sliced off before he palm-struck Irina, making her gasp before his magic seal appeared on his hand.
"You were an exorcist once…" Diodora commented as he blasted Irina through his throne and into the wall next to Asia, Hiramekarei landing on the floor near her. "Hm, I might keep you, since you were a member of the church."
Diodora regrew his missing tentacles as he turned back to Koneko, Rias, and Akeno.
"So, what will you do, now, Gremory?" Diodora asked cockily as he smirked.
Rias could not think of anything.
'I have never faced an enemy like this.' Rias thought in a calm/panicked pace. 'He is like Naruto, full of untapped chakra or magic potential in this new form.'
Rias felt numb in the face of this adversity.
"Buchou." Koneko stated as she stepped forward, ready to fight. "Watch for an opening."
"Koneko, WAIT!" Akeno shouted as Koneko Shaved toward Diodora multiple times.
"This again?" Diodora asked as he went to kill her.
Koneko jumped into the air with Moonwalk, crossing her fingers.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Koneko stated, summoning seven clones.
Diodora was surprised, but held his ground as magic circles appeared at the ends of his hands and tentacles.
'No problem.' He thought as he mixed chakra into his magic.
Six laser blasts of magic/chakra shot toward Koneko and her clones, only for them to be evaded with Paper Art.
"Tempest Kick!" Four of the Clones stated as they kicked the air, the shock waves cutting through the tentacles.
Diodora frowned angrily as he regrew them, only to get them cut again with another Tempest Kick.
'Shit.' Diodora thought as he realized what Koneko was doing as he lost more chakra to regrow his tentacles while Koneko and the remaining threw clones closed in on him. 'She noticed the regrowth time and the loss in power!'
With arms coated in haki, Koneko and her three clones punched Diodora as hard as they could, sending him through the pillars.
'DAMN!' Koneko thought as her clones popped. 'His body is too squishy like his tentacles, it most likely absorbed most of the impact.'
Meanwhile, Akeno and Rias merged their magic together, lightning wrapped around the PoD.
'Time to end this.' Rias thought as she wanted to save Issei and Asia as she and Akeno poured as much of their magic into the seal.
Thrusting their hands forward, the attack decimated the room, shaking it to its core as Diodora was blasted from the combined magic of the King and Queen.
Rias and Akeno took labored breathes.
"Finally…" Rias gasped.
"It's not over!" Koneko shouted as she Shaved over to Rias and Akeno, grabbed them, and Shaved again right before tentacles burst from the ground, tearing the floating island in half.
Diodora, covered in blood and his shirt and cape in ruin, let out a pained and angered roar.
"I AM A HUNDRED AND TEN PERCENT DONE WITH THIS!" He shouted as his power shook the remains.
Gasper let out a scared cry of fear, nearly losing control but Issei kept him calm as he forced himself to get up.
"It's okay, Gasper." Issei stated in pain as blood coated his armor. "Keep up the good work."
"But, Issei…" Gasper whined. "I am having a hard time focusing on a single part, and so if you are moving…"
Issei patted Gasper's head.
"I trust you." He stated with a smile, which wasn't seen due to his helmet.
"Issei~" Gasper whined, nearly breaking into tears.
"So, you are still alive, dragon." Diodora stated in rage. "Then I guess I'll just kill you again!"
Diodora rammed into Issei, impaling him with his tentacles, hitting vital areas as his chakra fueled tentacles broke through Issei's armor.
"ISSEI!" Asia shouted as she shed tears from watching the boy she loved suffer because of her.
Issei gritted his teeth.
'Is this anything like how you felt that day, Naruto?' Issei thought as he grunted in pain, remembering the day Naruto's pelt was burned, triggering his awakening. 'You suffered… much more than me that day, and I knew I was weak, which is part of the reason why I strived to become stronger!'
She summoned more Clones, these ones breaking the chunk of wall around Asia and grabbing it to keep her a float as the floating castle started to break apart further.
Diodora was pushed away as Issei's green aura thickly coated him as six orbs of green magic appeared.
"WHAT IS THIS!" Diodora shouted as he was pushed back further.
"We need to go." Koneko shouted, summoning clones to grab Gasper, Irina and her sword, and Kiba. 'This power… it is just like the horrible feeling that Naruto's chakra has when he awakens.'
"I WILL SAVE ASIA, AND I WILL DEFEAT YOU!" Issei shouted as his armor started to morph.
"I, who am about to awaken, Am the Heavenly Dragon who has stolen the principles of domination from God. I laugh at the "infinite", and I grieve at the "dream". I shall become the Red Dragon of Domination. And I shall sink you to the depths of the crimson purgatory!"
Issei's armored body was now that of a berserker dragon, covered in red armor and green jewels.
"JUGGERNAUT DRIVE!"
Dimensional Gap…
Vali turned his head.
"Vali, what's wrong?" Biko asked in concern. "Did Naruto awaken again?"
Kisame laughed with Samehada making its gargling sounds.
"Say yes, I want to get a good meal before going home." Kisame stated.
"No, it's the Juggernaut Drive." Vali stated in slight disappointment. "Seems my rival lost himself to his dragon."
Albion agreed.
'Let's go stop Ddraig and Hyoudo.' Albion stated, getting agreement from Vali.
"Boys, we are leaving." Vali stated, much to Biko's, Kisame's, and Arthur's delight to leave the damn void.
Underworld…
"It seems you have fucked yourself over, Diodora." Shalba Beelzebub stated to said Devil King as Issei finished his transformation.
"Shut up, Shalba!" Diodora retorted in anger. "I still have not used Ophis's snake, so I can win. Remember, dragons are weak against chakra, specifically senjutsu chakra."
Shalba knew that, he had fought in the faction war and the civil war, so he was no fool.
"Fine." Shalba stated in disgust. "Fight your enemy, and if you survive, know you will be punished."
"And who said you will survive?"
Shalba turned and saw Groot, Pamela, and Edward Zagan floating above even him, angering him that this brat had the balls to stand over him.
Diodora ignored his superior and went to attack Issei, who roared and retaliated.
"What are you going to do, bastard child of the Zagan?" Shalba asked as he hovered on an even 'ground' with Edward.
"Oh, me?" Edward asked, false drama in his tone. "Well, I am going to kill you."
Before Shalba could speak, a thorned whip wrapped itself around his head.
With a flick of Edward's wrist, the top portion of his skull came off, leaving his lover jaw on his body, which slowly tilted before it and the skull fell to the ground.
"That, my friend." Edward stated to no one in particular. "Is why you watch the hands, not the mouth."
Pamela giggled, Groot cutely tilting his head in confusion.
"I am Groot." He said in the same amount of confusion.
Edward deadpanned.
"Okay, it wasn't that funny, but we need to get that guy under control." Edward stated as he floated to his Pawn. "Groot, you have my permission to Promote to Queen and unleash the full power of senjutsu you possess to stop the dragon."
"I am Groot." Groot replied with a nod, thumbs up and proceeded to float down. "I am Groot!"
Now promoted, Groot's speed, defense, and magic abilities increased.
Now on level with Diodora and Issei, Groot started to draw in nature chakra.
With each ounce of nature chakra, Groot grew bigger, buffer, and in size. His eyes and the areas under the gaps of his bark skin started to glow green.
"Alright, that is enough Groot!" Edward stated as he floated next to his Pawn with his Queen. "Now, get him bound while we deal with Diodora."
"I AM GROOT!" Groot, whose voice was louder and much more booming, stated in understanding.
Diodora evaded one of Issei's wild slashes, only to force himself to evade Groot tackling Issei to the ground several miles below.
"Now, Diodora." Edward asked as he and his Queen standing before him, legs spread and hands around while Edward cupped her hips, posed like Giorno and Gold Experience. "Pray tell, what happened to you, man? You look like a tentacle hentai monster."
Diodora growled.
"I AM NOT A TENTACLE HENTAI MONSTER!" He shouted as he lunged at them like a wounded animal.
Pamela detached herself from her King, flipping through the air and got close to Diodora, hand before her mouth as she blew what appeared to be powder in his face.
Diodora inhaled the powder, backing off while Rias, Akeno, Koneko and Gasper (With Koneko's clones holding Kiba, Irina, and Hiramekarei) watched.
"WHAT DID YOU DO!" Diodora demanded as he felt no immediate reaction, narrowly evading Edward's thorned whip.
"Hm, that is strange." Pamela stated calmly as she watched Diodora evade her King's attacks. "He should have been down by now."
"I know, but he is being enhanced, so it might not have been enough, or he has… oh, I see it taking affect." Edward stated as strange green veins appeared across Diodora's flesh as his movements started to slow and he struggled to move as his eyes got heavy and he was hit with a sense of calm.
"Oh, can't let him die." Edward mentioned as he caught Diodora, who reverted back to his normal form as he fell unconscious.
"Awe, shit, seems we missed all the fun."
Everyone turned and saw Vali, Biko, Kisame, and Arthur.
"What are you doing here?" Rias asked defensively.
Vali ignored her as he watched Issei get punched by the Senjutsu Enhanced Groot.
"Interesting tactic." Vali stated in genuine surprise. "Dragons are weak to senjutsu, and with a level like that, you might as well kill him."
Rias's eyes widened.
"Hey, guys, something is wrong!" C. Koneko shouted as she realized the magic supporting Asia's confinement was starting to glow and grow stronger.
"Hm," Kisame hummed as he got closer, courtesy of clouds that Biko gathered. "Seems like she is hooked to blow."
"EXPLOSION!" Koneko shouted, nearly dropping Kiba.
Kisame laughed in her face.
"Don't worry, I got this." Kisame stated as he hefted Samehada over his body with one hand. "TIME TO EAT, SAMEHADA!"
With one powerful swing, Kisame destroyed the remaining wall holding Asia, devouring the explosive magic within the bindings, breaking them and leaving Asia unharmed.
"Piece of cake." Kisame stated proudly as Samehada burped.
C. Koneko caught Asia as the others popped.
Asia covered herself, since she was naked, but thankfully, Arthur gave her his over coat.
"Thank you." She thanked sincerely.
Arthur said nothing, but smiled.
"What was that about killing Issei?" Rias asked, getting the focus back on topic.
Vali didn't respond as he looked at his rival, attempting to absorb Groot's power, but harshly getting burned and rejecting the harmful energy out instantly with a Longinus Smasher, taking off Groot's arm.
Groot let out a saddened whine, but then jump kicked Issei to the ground, picking up his arm and reattaching it with his enhanced healing allowing him to reattach limbs instead of making him have to regrow them over hours.
"HM, I guess I'll save him." Vali stated as he jumped off of Biko's cloud, dawning his Balance Breaker after three feet of free fall.
"I, who am about to awaken, Am the Heavenly Dragon who has taken the principles of supremacy from God. I envy the "infinite" and I pursue the "dream". I shall become the White Dragon of Supremacy. And I shall take you to the limits of white paradise." Vali chanted causing his armor to become a giant dragon the same size as Issei, though he was not giving up his life energy, letting the souls of Divine Dividing leech off of his devil power inherited by his father, the Son of Lucifer.
'It's the only good thing that man gave me.' Vali thought crassly before he dived in between Groot and Issei.
Groot initially thought Vali was a threat, but took quick notice that Vali did not even try to attack him, thus being the smart plant he is, decided to help.
With a mighty roar, Issei charged the Longinus Smasher, point blank, and fired at Vali, intending on taking them both out if necessary.
"Divide." Albion stated. "Divide. Divide. Divide. Divide."
The power of the attack diminished until it was nothing but a gently breeze, and Issei went down.
Taking the opportunity, Groot slammed his hands into the ground, spreading his chakra through the plants and trees.
Once he had enough, he moved them to wrap around the dragon, pumping Issei with senjutsu as Vali's Juggernaut Drive violently exploded, leaving him with the base Divine Dividing wings before the shattered pieces returned to his body as his Balance Breaker.
"That's all I can do." Vali stated in general, gasping a bit as he glared at the roaring in pain Issei. 'How pathetic, to think you, my rival, the man who injured my leg during our first fight with nothing but luck, is now reduced to this mess, drunk on the power of the Juggernaut Drive.'
'Well, he was a normal human turned devil, and this is his first time using it." Albion said in an attempt to make Vali see reason to keep pursuing his rivalry with Issei.
Far too many users of Ddraig and Albion had actually gone into hiding for fear of dying in combat.
It was very annoying when it happened, and if Vali abandoned his rivalry, it would basically be an eternity until Albion would fight Ddraig again, even if Ddraig got a new host.
As this was happening, the Gremory, Zagan and Vali groups landed on the ground as Vali descended, powering down.
"Go save him, red." Vali smugly stated as he stood beside his team.
"ISSEI!" Rias shouted as she ran up to him.
"That's enough Groot!" Pamela shouted to the Pawn. "You can power down now!"
Groot heard Pamela, and like a good boy, powered down, the remaining senjutsu he had going into the plants and trees keeping Issei tied down as he shrank back to his standard size, which was still tall, but not as much as before.
"I am Groot." He stated proudly, kneeling.
"Yes, dear, you did great." Pamela stated as she patted his head with a loving smile.
Groot smiled, saw Asia, and covered his eyes with his hands.
Asia, who was still embarrassed, covered herself more.
Rias got to the bound Issei, who was breathing heavily.
"Issei, it's me!" Rias called out desperately, Issei turning his head to face her. "Asia is safe, look!"
Rias moved and pointed at Asia, who was crying as she saw Issei.
She reached out towards him.
"Issei!" She called out. "Come back!"
There was an uncomfortable silence as Issei didn't make any movements that showed if he heard her or if it was working on bringing Issei back.
The senjutsu trees tightened their grasp, making him roar before the armor cracked and then shattered, leaving Issei gasping for life as his chest was still open and bleeding.
"ISSEI!" Asia, Rias, and Akeno shouted as they ran to the down pervert.
"Well, is it done?" Koneko asked as she watched her friends get to Issei.
"Is what done?" Pamela asked.
"This… fight…"
"Yeah, I believe so." Pamela replied as she patted Koneko's shoulders.
Koneko took a deep breath before letting it go, feeling how tired she was for the first time that day after the last few hours.
'I need a nap.' She thought tiredly.
So, cat like of her.
"Well, this has been fun." Vali stated sarcastically, getting everyone's attention, before he looked up and smirked. "Well, I guess he does exist."
Everyone followed his gaze and saw a beyond massive, understatement of the fucking century, red dragon slowly flying from a portal from the Dimensional Gap.
"Great Red…" Ophis said as she appeared from nowhere. "It's been a long while."
She held up a hand, pointing at him.
"And next time we meet, I will reclaim my home, my precious silence." Ophis stated.
"Okay, who are…" Issei started to ask before he collapsed.
Next day…
"He will be alright, just needs some rest and someone to replenish the life he lost when he transformed." A yokai doctor said to Rias about Issei's condition. "I'll have a few of the other healers supplement him."
"Thank you, sir." Rias said as she sat next to issei's bed as he slept, snoring loudly without a care in the world.
Next to Issei's bed was Naruto, sleeping soundlessly as he turned, his naked body partially covered due to his tail.
Over the night, his body had shrunk back to what it should be and he thankfully lost his second tail.
Next to him in his bed was Kuroka, who had spent the night restoring his life energy, wearing a pale blue sleeping yukata.
Sitting beside them was Sairaorg, dawning heavy bags under his eyes as he sat in silence while the rest of his peerage were mostly hospitalized for the rest of the day.
"At least we all made it out alive, right?" Rias asked nervously, not really knowing what to say with the troubled look Sairaorg had.
"Yeah, you could say that." Sairaorg replied softly.
…
…
…
…
"Anything new going on since we last talked?" Rias asked dumbly, trying to break the silence. Especially since the announcement Sirzechs was going to give had been pushed back a month to get everything settled.
Which really wasn't silence due to the sounds of machines and snoring from the three people sleeping in the room.
Sairaorg sighed, knowing Rias was just trying to help.
"Nothing really new, per say, just something bothering me." He replied as he looked at his cousin. "The guy we fought, Doflamingo, he was holding back."
Meanwhile…
Doflamingo took a devastating blow to the jaw, several of his teeth cracking as he hit the ground.
His face and body were black and blue from bruises from hours of his beating by the hands of his master.
"I told you, Doffy." His master stated as he stood above the wounded man. "Fail me again and I'll kill you. I won't, since I would be losing a great asset, but know I won't be as lenient to let you leave with some bruising. Do you understand?"
Doflamingo could barely respond, even nodding his head was nearly impossible, but he did it anyway.
"Good, now go get healed, you look like shit." His Master stated as he dropped a towel for the fallen devil to use.
Gaara had been resting for the whole day, seemingly going to be out of it for a while from the defeat he suffered from Naruto pushing him mentally.
'Well, we could have all died, so besides this, it's a victory.' Doflamingo thought as he got up very slowly before going to his room, bumping into Matatabi.
"Doffy, what… did master…" She started to ask, but was silenced when he held his hand up.
"Later…" He muttered, needing to rest and have a beer.
"I'll get the doctor to look at you in your room." Matatabi stated in worry.
Doflamingo nodded, arriving at his room shortly and sitting down.
'Hm…' he hummed as his body started to relax.
Underworld, Hospital…
"NO NEEDLES!" Lee shouted as he was being held down by two devils as his doctor was trying to give him his shots.
Xenovia laughed as she was examined by a nurse.
"I'm happy none of us were critically injured." Fenrir stated with Ameyuri and Gilga snuggling into him as the three of them lay across one of the beds.
"Same here." Rossweisse winced as she was given a shot. "Come on Lee, it isn't so scary."
Lee started to sweat as he was tied down tightly, wincing as the tiny needle pricked his arm.
"There, all done." The tired doctor said tiredly, whipping sweat from his brow. 'My first patient and I am already tired.'
Kakashi was sitting up, reading his book with his tail drooped over the bed, not really focusing on it or the conversations around him.
"You okay, Kakashi?" Ravel asked as she sat on his bed.
"Yes, but really disappointed." Kakashi stated sadly.
"With what?" Ravel asked, not really seeing anything wrong with the situation.
Kakashi sighed, a sad look adorning his face.
He shook his head and put on a false eye smile, since his mouth was still covered.
"Nothing, just me being over analytical." He told his King.
Ravel didn't believe him one bit.
She stood up and grabbed Kakashi, pulling him into a hug.
"I know you are an adult, and I am still young, but as your King I am here for you, Kakashi." Ravel said softly to not hurt his sensitive ears.
Kakashi relaxed and hugged her back.
"Thank you, my King." He replied as she let him go, both smiling. "As for what is bothering me, is that I saw many of Kyoto's heroes revived with a forbidden jutsu."
He growled in anger.
"I wasn't able to stop it, or stop the person who used it from escaping." He stated in self-hatred.
He took a deep breath, feeling better that he talked about it, but it still stung him.
Ravel had nothing to say, as she was just lending an ear to her Pawn.
Meanwhile, Lucifer's Prison Facility…
Diodora sat in chains and a straight jacket, seals written over his body to keep him from accessing his magic.
He sat in the Interrogation room with a random working, preparing to ask him questions.
Diodora had been arrested as a traitor to Devil Kind and as a member of the Khaos Brigade, they knew they could get information out of him, thus they kept him alive.
"So, Mr. Astaroth." The official started to say as they sat down, the recording device all ready and rolling. "Care to tell us why you attacked Rias Gremory. Was it for the Khaos Brigade?"
Diodora smirked.
"Of course not, it wasn't for the Khaos…" He started to say before he froze mid-sentence.
A curse mark pattern of snake scales appearing across his body, paralyzing Diodora, cutting off his breathing, making Diodora gasp for air.
"What is going on!" the official shouted, panicking as Diodora started to suffocate, his face becoming red, his eyes seemingly bulging out before he collapsed, dead.
Chapter 54, DONE!
Naruto was a very small part of this chapter, I know, how could I? I am a bastard.
Well, hold on, I spent a long time thinking of what to do, as I could go cliché and have Naruto finish it, or focus on a future rival character (Edward, Pamela, and Groot) and show their strengths now and so when something happens, it isn't out of nowhere.
Also, Pamela Isley is basically a teen Poison Ivy, Edward Zagan has powers like Yoko Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho, and Groot… get this, has Hashirama's abilties, will be explained later.
Anything else…
