BANG!
A gunshot was heard.
Thud!
Then a young security guard standing in front of a young girl fell to the ground. A large bloodstain could be seen on the security guard's uniform.
"KYAAAA!" The girl screamed in both shock and fear from what she just saw.
Bang!
The large doors opened and police officers wearing SWAT gear quickly pointed their rifles at the gunman and shouted: "Put down the weapon and get on the ground!"
Seeing the situation, the gunman had no other choice but to comply as he thought: "Shit! I couldn't get away in time. And it's all that damned Security Guard's fault."
This gunman was actually an infamous international killer known for always being successful with killing his targets. However today marked the first time that he had ever failed a job. And it was all because of the young security guard who was now lying on the floor on the verge of death.
The Killer's main target was the young girl whom the young security guard had shielded. If the young security guard had not delayed him first then jumped in to shield the girl with his body when he fired his gun, then he would've succeeded in killing his target and succeeded in finishing this job.
As the police officers in SWAT gear carried the young security guard's body onto a stretcher, they couldn't help but shake their heads. It was already too late. From their experience they were certain that the young security guard was seconds away from death.
"NO! Please don't die! I haven't even had the chance to thank you for saving my life yet. Please! I'm so sorry I'm so very sorry! It's all my fault!" Said the young girl the security guard saved as she cried and bawled while holding tightly onto her savior's hand.
"So I'm probably gonna die huh." Thought the security guard as he stared at the ceiling.
After a second he continued his thoughts: "Honestly... I'm surprised that I even managed to live this long... Especially after all the reckless things I've been doing lately."
This security guard was one who had lived a hard life. At the young age of fourteen he had lost both of his parents in a car accident. At that moment he had pledged to become the type of person they had always wanted him to be.
A kind and selfless person who wouldn't hesitate to help his fellow man when they are in need. Due to this, after he finished high school he immediately enrolled into the police academy in the hopes of becoming a police officer that would help as many people as he could.
Unfortunately... he was expelled from the police academy after only a few months of attending. On the outside the main reason he was expelled was said to be due to the fact that he had beaten up and injured one of the police academy's instructors. In truth the reason he had done such a thing was because he had caught that instructor trying to take advantage of one of his female classmates while she was changing.
Seeing such a thing happening before his eyes, he refused to just stand there and do nothing. He immediately stormed in and beat the crap out of that instructor. However that instructor had strong ties within the police academy which was what truly caused him being expelled.
Thankfully after he was expelled an old friend reached out to him and offered him a job as a security guard.
After he became a security guard he often got himself involved with things that other security guards would not get themselves involved in. Such as saving hostages from kidnappers, fighting arsonists to prevent them from setting buildings on fire, there was even one time when he was able to successfully catch a dangerous terrorist.
Due to his actions he was quickly regarded as a hero by the people of their small town. In truth this young security guard never really wanted any acknowledgement for his heroic deeds. Instead he just wanted to honor his parents wish for him to become a kind and selfless person who wouldn't hesitate to help his fellow man when they are in need.
It was only because of the fact that he tried his best to keep this pledge of his that he ended up with so many heroic deeds.
Thinking about all of the people he saved during these past two years, the young Security Guard couldn't help but smile as he was seconds away from death while thinking: "I wish I could've helped... more... people."
After thinking that the young security guard finally closed his eyes... and passed away.
...
"Wha?" When the young security guard awoke he suddenly found himself floating in a dark space that seemed to be filled with small flashing silver lights. Almost like the stars in the night sky.
"Wh-Where am I?" The young security guard muttered.
It was at that moment that a voice suddenly sounded.
"Do you wish to live once more?"
The security guard: "Who said that?"
"I ask you again... do you wish to live once more?"
"Wh-Who are you? And... where are you?"
"I am but an ancient primordial being who is considering granting you a new life..."
The security guard: "..."
The security guard: "Why would you do that for me?"
Primordial Being: "Call it a whim... Now I ask you for the last time... Do you wish to live once more young man?"
The security guard then closed his eyes.
After a few moments he fiercely opened his eyes while saying: "I do!... I wish to live once more!"
Primordial Being: "Very well then."
Shiiing!
It was at that moment that the numerous flashing silver lights throughout the area suddenly began to gather around the security guard.
"Wh-What the hell?!" Exclaimed the security guard.
Primordial Being: "You will be reborn in an alternate version of a fantasy world that you had once viewed."
As the silver lights transformed into a cocoon of silver light covering the security guard, the Primordial Being continued it's words: "In order for you to ensure your safety in this new world you will be reborn in, I will also be granting you over a dozen special gifts that you may use to protect yourself as well as those you care about. I believe in this world they refer to these gifts of mine as... Sacred Gears?"
"Wha..." After the Primordial Being said those words, the security guard was about to ask a question, but before he could do so, his entire vision was suddenly covered in silver light as he immediately lost consciousness.
...
When the security guard opened his eyes, he found himself to be a newborn baby wrapped in a small light blue colored blanket.
It was at that moment that he suddenly heard a voice from above him.
?"Takeru... that will be your name from now on my little one."
Raising his head to see who spoke, he suddenly saw the face of a beautiful woman with long red hair and light red eyes. It was at that moment that he also noticed that he was wrapped in the arms of this beautiful woman.
"Could it be that this woman... is my new mother?" He thought.
The beautiful woman then turned to the man standing by the side of her bed and asked: "What do you think dear?"
The man stared at the newborn infant in the woman's arms and said with a smile: "Takeru... Takeru Kiseki."
The man then turned to the woman and said with an expression full of joy: "It's perfect Honey."
It was at that moment that the newborn infant who was now named Takeru got a good look at the man standing by the side of the bed.
The man looked like he was in his early twenties. He had a handsome face with short brown hair and light brown eyes.
"I'm guessing this man is my new father then." Thought Takeru.
"Would you like to hold him Dear?" Asked the beautiful woman with long red hair as she raised the infant in her arms towards her husband.
"Of course!" Said the man with short brown hair as he picked up the newborn Takeru from his wife's arms.
Staring at his new father Takeru couldn't help but think: "Judging from my new Dad's looks, I might actually grow up to be quite a handsome guy."
Staring at his newborn son in his arms, the man with short brown couldn't but show an even wider smile: "My son Takeru... I have a feeling that you'll be giving us a lot of unexpected surprises when you grow up."
...
Ten Years and Two Weeks Later...
A ten year old boy with reddish brown hair and light red eyes could be seen sitting cross-legged on a grassy backyard while staring at the beautiful blue sky. This ten year old boy was naturally none other than Takeru Kiseki.
It was at that moment that Takeru suddenly heard a child's voice call his name from behind him.
?: "Takeru I'm here to play!"
When Takeru turned around and saw who it was, he simply smiled and said: "Irina-chan you're here."
The person who called out to Takeru was an eleven year old kid with short chestnut hair and violet colored eyes. This little girl was Irina Shidou the first friend that Takeru had made here in his new life. He and Irina had been friends since he was five years old.
Irina then walked towards Takeru as she looked around the backyard.
Irina then faced Takeru and asked: "Where are Kasumi-nee and Sumire-nee?"
Hearing her question, Takeru simply scratched his head and replied: "My sisters are busy doing their homework... They might not be able to play with us today."
Hearing this little Irina couldn't help but blush as she lowered her head and quietly muttered: "Th-Then that means it's just the two of us today."
Not hearing what she said clearly, Takeru couldn't help but ask: "Did you say something Irina-chan?"
"O-Oh nothing!" Replied Irina as her face continued to blush.
After saying that Irina quickly turned around and ran straight back into the house while saying: "E-Excuse me I need to go to the bathroom for a sec!"
Irina thought: "Since it's just Takeru and I today, I should go wash my face and fix my hair real quick!"
Seeing Irina quickly rushing back into the house, Takeru couldn't help but tilt his head and thought: "She must've needed to go to the bathroom real bad."
After a moment Takeru turned his attention back towards the beautiful blue sky filled with white clouds as he muttered: "So it's been ten years huh... Ten years since I've been reborn in this fantasy like world."
By this point Takeru was naturally already clear that he had been reborn in the Highschool DXD world, however he also remembered the words of the primordial being that bestowed him his new life.
'You will be reborn in an alternate version of a fantasy world that you had once viewed.'
Thinking about this Takeru thought: "Does this mean that this isn't the original Highschool DXD world but a different version of it instead?"
After a moment of thinking Takeru shook his head and said: "Perhaps it's too early for me to be thinking about this."
He then raised his head, sighed and continued his words: "But still to be reborn in a world where magic and mythological beings exists... I don't know whether to be excited or scared."
At this moment Takeru couldn't help but remember the time when he realized he had been reborn in the Highschool DXD world. It was during the time when his parents first brought him home from the hospital. When he had heard that the town they were living in was called Kuoh Town he already had a hunch. However he became absolutely certain of his hunch only after he had heard his new parents whispering the words 'Excalibur Fragment, Exorcists, Grauzauberer, Cleria Belial, Zeoticus Gremory, Father of Sirzechs Lucifer'. Hearing his parents speak these words Takeru not only confirmed that he was reborn in the Highschool DXD world, but the fact that his new parents actually knew these words also pretty much meant that they might also be people involved with the supernatural as well.
Upon realizing that he had been truly reborn in the Highschool DXD world, Takeru couldn't help but be shocked and start to panic. After all this was a world where Gods, Dragons and Devils existed.
Thankfully in these ten years that he had lived in this world nothing dangerous caused by the supernatural had occurred to either himself nor his family. In fact in these last ten years, the only supernatural thing that Takeru had witnessed was something caused by his Mother!
The thing is Takeru's new Mother was actually a magician... or to be precise a former magician. At least that's what he understood from when he eavesdropped on his new parents conversation back when he was still a baby.
"I can still remember it from back when I was still an infant... That moment when I saw Mom suddenly make several furnitures levitate as she waved around her hands." Thought Takeru as he continued to sit cross-legged on the grassy backyard.
"I wonder if I'll also be able to do something like that someday?" Muttered Takeru.
It was at this moment that Takeru remembered the last words the primordial being had said to him before he was finally reborn in this world.
'In order for you to ensure your safety in this new world you will be reborn in, I will also be granting you over a dozen special gifts that you may use to protect yourself as well as those you care about. I believe in this world they refer to these gifts of mine as... Sacred Gears?'
Remembering this Takeru couldn't help but give a forced as he muttered: "It's been ten years but I haven't awakened any sort of power like a Sacred Gear yet."
In his previous life Takeru was also quite the fan of many Animes, Mangas, Novels, Movies and Games. As such he was naturally familiar with the Highschool DXD world and was well aware of what a Sacred Gear was.
Thinking about this Takeru couldn't help but scratch his head as he muttered: "Could it be that that primordial being had made a mistake and forgot to bestow me any of those gifts of his?"
However before he could continue his thoughts, Irina came back saying: "Takeru I'm back!"
Seeing the little Irina running towards him, he couldn't help but think: "Then there's this girl... Irina Shidou... the future Ace of the Great Seraph Michael himself."
Seeing Takeru's expression Irina pouted as she said: "You were thinking about something and forgot I was here again didn't you Takeru? You are always doing that!"
Hearing her words Takeru simply showed a slight smile as he scratched his head and said: "Actually I was thinking about you."
Hearing his words Irina couldn't help but blush once again: "R-Really?"
It was at this moment that a beautiful woman with long red hair and light red eyes suddenly walked out of the house and said: "Takeru, Irina-chan come inside. I have some snacks for you two."
Hearing the woman's words, the two children quickly replied.
Takeru: "Coming Mom."
Irina: "Coming Aunt Hana."
...
Later that Afternoon...
At this moment both Takeru and Irina could be seen standing outside Takeru's house.
Irina then turned to Takeru and said with a big smile on her face: "I'll be going home now Takeru. We'll play again tomorrow ok!"
Takeru simply nodded and said: "Alright see you tomorrow Irina-chan."
After that Irina quickly turned around and rushed towards the house that was three houses away from Takeru's house.
Indeed Irina's family is one of Takeru's family's neighbors.
As Takeru watched Irina enter her house he couldn't help but think: "If I remember correctly Irina-chan is suppose to be Issei Hyoudou's childhood friend... I've been friends with Irina-chan for five years now, why haven't I met Issei Hyoudou yet?"
"Miss your girlfriend already?" Said a voice that suddenly sounded from behind Takeru in a mischievous tone.
When Takeru turned around and saw who it was he said: "Kasumi-nee."
The person who spoke behind Takeru was one of his two elder sisters in this new life of his... Kasumi Kiseki. Kasumi is a twelve year old girl with brown eyes, auburn hair and a beauty mark next to her left eye.
Takeru: "What are you talking about Kasumi-nee. I'm only ten years old, I'm too young to be thinking about girlfriends."
Kasumi simply shook her head hearing her little brother's words then said: "Come on little bro It's almost five o clock we need to go inside now."
But before Takeru could reply another girl that looked a lot like Kasumi suddenly came out of the house and said: "Kasumi, Takeru, Mom says to go inside now."
This little girl that looks a lot like Kasumi is Takeru's other elder sister Sumire Kiseki. In terms of looks Sumire looks almost exactly like Kasumi, after all they are twins. However two notable differences that Sumire has from Kasumi is that her hair and eye colors were the same as their Mother's. Meaning they are both red.
Hearing Sumire's words, the brother and sister immediately replied.
Kasumi: "Coming Sumire."
Takeru: "Coming Sumire-nee."
As the three siblings went back into the house a dark silhouette appeared in front of their home. After watching the three children go back into their house it sneered. However a moment later...
Puchi!
A yellow beam of light suddenly shot out from the Kiseki family's window which directly pierced the dark silhouette's chest.
At that moment the dark silhouette's expression changed as his entire body immediately turned to dust before he could even scream.
Inside the Kiseki Family's house a handsome man with short brown hair and light brown eyes could be seen standing beside a window holding a small wooden crossbow in his hand. This man was Takeru, Sumire and Kasumi's father Kenshi Kiseki.
Kenshi: "Hmph!... A stray devil actually dares to stalk my children."
...
Later that Night...
Takeru could be seen comfortably lying on his bed completely sound asleep.
When Takeru opened his eyes he immediately found himself standing on a large meadow while under a large tree.
Seeing this sight Takeru couldn't help but sigh and say: "It's this dream again huh."
"Ever since I was reborn in this world I've always been having this dream from time to time... Being on this meadow... under this tree... It's always the same." Said Takeru as he looked around the large meadow.
"Huh?" It was at this moment that Takeru suddenly spotted something that he had never seen on this meadow before.
In the distance Takeru spotted something that seemed to look like a small grey colored house.
Seeing the grey colored house, Takeru tilted his head in confusion and muttered: "I've never seen that house in this dream before."
After a moment Takeru decided to approach the grey colored house and check it out.
"What the?!" When Takeru was but a few steps away from the grey colored house, something bizarre began to occur.
Takeru's entire surroundings began to change. Gone was the beautiful meadow. Now replaced by what looked like an unending barren desert with black gears gyrating in the distance. On this seemingly unending barren desert were a countless number of swords anchored in the ground like grave markers in a wasteland.
"Th-This is..." Muttered Takeru as he immediately recognized the sight of his surroundings.
It was at this moment that Takeru suddenly heard a voice sound from the grey colored house.
?: "Well now... this situation seems quite complicated."
Upon hearing the voice, Takeru immediately turned his head back towards the grey colored house. And there he saw a man with tanned skin and white hair, wearing an outfit that seemed to be a combination of red and black.
The moment Takeru laid his eyes on the man he felt as if he had just lost control of himself as he unconsciously began to chant:
"I am the bone of my sword..."
"Steel is my body and fire is my blood..."
"I have created over a thousand blades..."
"Unknown to Death,"
"Nor known to Life."
"Have withstood pain to create many weapons..."
"Yet, those hands will never hold anything..."
"So I pray, U..."
...
"Ahh!" Takeru woke on his bed completely drenched in sweat.
Now staring at his now shaking hands Takeru muttered: "Wh-What the hell was up with that dream?... It... It felt so real... It felt as if... as if something inside me was about to be... unleashed?"
"Takeru what's wrong?! What happened?!" Said Kenshi who suddenly barged into Takeru's room with a face full of worry.
"Takeru dear what happened? Did you have a nightmare?" Said Takeru's Mother who followed behind her husband.
Seeing his parents looking at him worriedly, Takeru immediately replied: "Y-Yeah it was just a bad dream... Sorry I woke you two.. Mom, Dad."
Hearing his words, Takeru's parents immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They had truly been worried when they suddenly heard their son's scream.
Takeru's Mothen Hana then approached her son with a handkerchief in her hand and began wiping the sweat off her son's face.
She then asked: "Would you like to sleep beside Mommy and Daddy tonight?"
Hearing his Mother's words Takeru couldn't help but be a bit embarrassed as he scratched his head and replied: "There's no need Mom I'm okay."
"Well if you're sure..." Replied his Mother.
His father then approached him and handed him a piece of chocolate candy while saying with a smile: "Here son... chocolate used to always let me calm down after having a nightmare back when I was a kid. Hopefully it works for you too."
Takeru took the piece of chocolate candy and smiled: "Thanks Dad."
Takeru then chatted with his parents for a few more minutes before they finally left and returned to their room.
Takeru then removed the wrapper of the chocolate candy in his hand and ate it.
"Hmm... This is good chocolate... Wonder where Dad bought this?" Muttered Takeru.
"Huh?" It was at this moment that Takeru suddenly noticed that the door to his room began to open once again.
When the door fully opened, Takeru's twin elder sisters Kasumi and Sumire immediately entered his room and walked towards Takeru.
"Kasumi-nee, Sumire-nee what's wrong? Why are you two here?" Asked Takeru.
Kasumi then patted his head and said with a smile: "Come on little bro, you're sleeping with us tonight!"
"Eh?" Hearing her words Takeru was surprised
Sumire then hugged him and said: "Takeru you can stay with us your Onee-chans tonight so that you won't have anymore scary nightmares ok."
Hearing her words Takeru couldn't help but feel quite touched as he thought: "Looks like they were listening in when Mom and Dad were here... I really was blessed with good sisters in this life wasn't I."
He then scratched his head and said: "Thank you Kasumi-nee, Sumire-nee... But I'm fine you don't need to..."
But before he could continue his words, Kasumi suddenly interrupted him.
Kasumi: "No buts!"
She then pulled him out of the bed and dragged him out of his room.
"Ehh?... Ehhhhhhh?!" Sounded Takeru as he was being dragged away.
Sumire then patted his head and said: "Don't worry Takeru we'll make sure you don't have anymore scary dreams."
Takeru(cold sweat): "..."
...
The Next Day...
The Kiseki family siblings along with Irina could be seen running and playing around the center of Kuoh Park.
After an hour of constantly playing around, Takeru couldn't help but sit on the ground and say: "Phew, I'm tired!"
"Heeeeh... Takeru is tired already?" Said Irina.
Kasumi: "You really need to exercise more little bro."
Sumire: "Maybe you can start jogging with Daddy in the morning to increase your stamina?"
The side of Takeru's mouth twitched hearing their words as he thought: "Well I have a ten year old's body so it's no wonder that I would get tired after an hour of constantly running."
He then raised his head to look at his elder sisters and Irina then continued his thoughts: "...It's actually more surprising that the three of them don't seem to have a trace of tiredness at all after running around this entire time."
"Alright I guess we should take a bit of a break." Said Kasumi as she placed a small picnic basket in front of Takeru.
As Kasumi opened the small picnic basket, Irina couldn't help but say: "WAAA! Are those Aunt Hana's special sandwiches?!"
Seeing the sandwiches in the small picnic basket, Takeru also couldn't help but smile. His new mother's sandwiches were just truly too good.
After that the group of four began to enjoy Hana's homemade sandwiches together.
...
As the group of four were preparing to head home, the three girls suddenly approached Takeru.
Kasumi: "Little bro wait for us here for awhile okay. We're just gonna go to the bathroom for a few minutes."
"Okay Kasumi-nee." Replied Takeru as he nodded to his sister's words.
When the three girls left Takeru sat down on a bench and started looking around the park.
"Huh?" It was then that Takeru spotted something in the distance.
What he saw was basically a large man with scars on his face seemingly forcing a woman into an alley while the woman seemed to be struggling desperately to get away from the man.
Seeing this scene, Takeru couldn't help but furrow his brow. Must know that in his previous life Takeru had always been the type of person who would stick his nose into other people's business whenever he believed that they needed help.
Takeru then tried to look around for a nearby adult but couldn't find any. He then slightly bit his lip as he thought: "If I were to go look for a guard or something it might already be too late and that girl might already be..."
He then saw some small rocks by the side of the bench and immediately picked them up. He then rushed towards the alley where he had seen the large man push the woman into as fast as he could.
When he got there what he saw was...
"AHHH! NO PLEASE DON'T EAT ME!" Screamed the large man with scars on his face as the woman opened her jaw so wide that a normal human adult could easily fit inside it.
"AHHH! NO SOMEBODY SAVE ME!" Screamed the large man as he tried to get away from the woman with a monster like jaw.
But it was too late...
CHOMP!
The woman with a monster like jaw had devoured half of the large man's body.
The woman with a monster like jaw then licked her lips and said: "Now that was a good meal... I guess it was worth putting up this spell that blocked out sound."
As for Takeru he stood at the entrance of the alley both shocked and petrified. He had never seen such a gruesome scene even in his previous life.
"Hm?" When the woman noticed Takeru, he immediately woke up from his trance as he quickly turned around and ran as fast as he could.
However...
Whoosh!
The woman turned into a blur and instantly appeared in front of Takeru.
"Now where do you think you're going little boy?" Said the woman as she showed a menacing smile towards Takeru. Attached to her back were what looked like a pair of black bat-like wings.
Seeing the bat-like wings behind the woman, a thought immediately appeared within Takeru's mind: "Devil?!"
The woman then waved her hand and a strong gust of wind then pushed Takeru into the alley.
"Ugh!" Due to the strong gust of wind, Takeru was now lying beside the half devoured body of the large man with scars.
Seeing the half devoured body of the man, Takeru couldn't help but place his hand on his mouth. He truly felt like vomiting upon seeing this sight.
When Takeru turned his head back towards woman, he saw her slowly walking towards him with a menacing smile on her face.
"Damn! What do I do?" Thought Takeru as he watched the devil slowly coming towards him.
Female Devil: "Well now this is unexpected... Usually by this point the children I catch start crying and bawling while asking for their mommies."
Hearing this Takeru shuddered as he asked: "Children?... You mean you've..."
"Hm?... Oh are you surprised?... Let me tell you, children like you are actually one of of my most favorite desserts." Said the Female Devil as she licked her lips with her monster like tongue.
"This Devil had actually... children..." Thought Takeru as he clenched his fists in rage upon knowing that this Female Devil had actually already devoured children before.
Seeing Takeru's expression the Stray Devil sneered and said: "Oh what's this?... Are you angry little boy?... Well don't worry I'll make sure you share their same fate down in my stomach."
"Damn you..." Muttered Takeru as he stared at the Female Devil with eyes full of rage. Takeru was unaware that his eyes suddenly turned grey for a split second at that moment.
"Now then... I guess it's time for me to slowly enjoy my dessert for the day." Said the Female Devil as she waved her hand.
It was at that moment that a black magic circle suddenly appeared below Takeru's feet.
Seeing the black magic circle Takeru's expression immediately changed. Although he had no idea what the Female Devil was planning to do, but from what he knew of the Highschool DXD world being the target of a devil's magic would definitely not lead to a good result.
As Takeru tried to jump away from the black magic circle as fast as he could, rope like things that seemed to be made out of black colored energy came out of the magic circle and tied up his entire body.
"Ugh!" Sounded Takeru as he was now levitating above the black magic circle with his entire body completely tied up by black colored energy.
"HAHA... That's it struggle!... It'll feel even more satisfying once I devour you piece by piece. Oh I know, why don't you start screaming and ask for help like that guy I ate a few moments ago?... However no one will be able to hear you cause I've already placed a spell that blocks out sound in this entire alley HAHAHA." Said the Female Devil with a hysterical expression on her face.
"Am I gonna die again so soon?" Thought Takeru as he was beginning to feel hopeless regarding his current situation.
It was at this moment that Takeru suddenly heard a voice sound within his head.
?: "Alright I'll help you out this time kid."
"Eh?!" Takeru was shocked to suddenly hear a voice sound within his head, however before he could even ask who it was, an image of a golden dagger began to appear in his mind.
At that moment Takeru's entire appearance began to change. His skin began to turn tanned while as his hair began to turn white. Besides this his eyes had once again turned grey colored.
"Hm?" Noticing the boy's sudden change, the female devil's expression immediately changed. At that moment her instincts told her that Takeru had just become extremely dangerous.
As the image of the golden dagger in Takeru's mind became more and more clear, the voice within his head once again spoke: "Now follow my words..."
It was then that Takeru unconsciously spoke: "Trace On!"
Shiiiing!
Blinding blue light then suddenly shined from Takeru's hands.
"W-What the hell?!" Said the female devil as she covered her eyes from the blinding blue lights.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
When the blue lights vanished, the female devil stopped covering her eyes and there she saw the current situation.
Her black bindings that she used to tie up Takeru had been completely cut apart. It was then that she noticed Takeru who was calmly standing over her black magic circle. In his hands she saw a pair of golden daggers that made her feel great fear just by staring at them.
"You!" Said the Female Devil as she unconsciously took a step back.
But before she could do anything else Takeru suddenly stared at her with his pair of grey colored eyes and threw his pair of golden daggers towards her without warning.
"Damn!" Said the Female Devil as she quickly formed a black whip with her demonic power to try to swat the daggers away.
However... It proved to be futile.
Puchi! Puchi!
Takeru's pair of golden daggers easily cut through the Female Devil's black whip made of demonic energy.
"What?!" Not expecting this result, the Female Devil couldn't help but be extremely shocked.
Puchi! Puchi!
"Argh!" The Female Devil groaned in pain as the two golden daggers pierced her chest.
Psssshhh!
"AHHHH!" The Female Devil shouted in pain as smoke began to rise from the spots on her chest where the daggers had pierced through. From the looks of it it seemed as if the golden daggers were slowly burning her skin and flesh.
It was as this moment when the Female Devil realized what these pair of daggers were.
With a face full of fear she said: "Th-These daggers... ARE HOLY WEAPONS?!"
Hearing her words Takeru who had been quiet ever since he got out of her bindings finally spoke.
Takeru: "Since you're about to die anyway I might as well tell you... Those daggers stabbed in your chest are actually inferior imitations of the dagger that was said to be once given to King Arthur by God... The Sacred Weapon Carnwennan."
"W-WHAT?! Imitations of a Sacred Weapon given by God?!" Said the Female Devil in a voice full of panic.
"W-Who the hell are you?!" Said the Female Devil as she stared at Takeru with an expression full of terror.
"Someone you should've just left alone." Said Takeru as he waved his hand and three more Carnwennan Dagger imitations appeared before him. Which then rushed towards the Stray Devil without warning.
Stray Devil: "W-Wait plea..."
Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!
But before she could even finish her words, the three golden daggers had already pierced various parts of her body.
"Ugh!" Groaned the Female Devil as she could feel the golden daggers slowly burning her body with their holy aura.
"For scum like you who mercilessly devours children... A death like this is honestly too good for you." Said Takeru as he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Snap!
Shiiing!
The moment Takeru snapped his fingers, the five golden daggers that had pierced the Female Devil's body began to shine.
"NO STOP PLEASE!" Screamed the Female Devil in desperation.
Suddenly...
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
The five golden daggers exploded simultaneously and completely obliterated the Female Devil's body.
Seeing that the Female Devil was finally destroyed, Takeru exhaled in exhaustion as he sat on the ground and stared at his now shaking hands.
"H-How the hell did I know how to do all of that?... The information about the dagger... How to make it... And how to control it." Muttered Takeru as his face was now completely covered with confusion and shock.
As Takeru was mulling over as to how he suddenly gained this power and knowledge out of nowhere, he was unaware that his body was slowly returning to it's original appearance.
"Eh?!" The moment he completely returned to his original appearance, Takeru felt as if he suddenly lost all of the remaining strength within his body to the point that he couldn't even lift his arms anymore.
Thud!
Takeru was now lying on the ground due to the severe loss of strength of his body.
"I'm so... tired..." Muttered Takeru as he completely lost consciousness.
Whoosh!
"Hm? That's strange I could've sworn I sensed demonic power coming from this direction." Said a middle aged man with light brown hair who just suddenly arrived outside the alley's entrance.
This middle aged man who had just arrived is none other than Irina Shidou's father who also happens to currently be an exorcist... Touji Shidou.
When he turned towards the inside of the alley his expression immediately changed.
There he saw the half devoured body of the large man along with an unconscious child lying close to it.
"Good God!" Said Touji as he quickly rushed inside the alley as fast as he could.
Seeing the half devoured body of the large man, he immediately knew that it was caused by the Stray Devil that he and his colleagues had been hunting for the last several weeks.
As Touji made his way towards the unconscious boy, he quickly recognized the boy's face.
"This boy is... Takeru-kun?... Oh no!" Said Touji as he quickly started inspecting the boy's body for any injuries or abnormalities.
Confirming that Takeru was fine, Touji breathed a sigh of relief as he muttered: "Thankfully Takeru-kun is fine... However things might get out of hand once Kenshi and Hana find out what happened here."
Touji then turned towards the half devoured body of the large man and did a quick silent prayer for him. He then sighed and said in a serious tone: "Guess I'd better clean up this mess before somebody sees the half devoured corpse."
...
When Takeru opened his eyes, he once again found himself standing on a large meadow while under a large tree.
Takeru sighed as he muttered: "This dream again..."
It was at this moment that he suddenly heard a voice from his side.
?: "So you're here."
When Takeru heard the voice he immediately turned to his side to see who it was.
When Takeru did so he was instantly shocked, for he had immediately recognized who this man was. It was then that Takeru thought of something.
"Could it be... those powers, that knowledge... and the voice...could it be that... all of it was because of you?!" Said Takeru as he stared at the man with shock.
The man in front of Takeru was one who had grey eyes, white hair and tanned skin. He wore black body armor, black pants and a red coat.
As someone who had watched the Fate Series in his previous life, Takeru naturally recognized who this man was. He is none other than the one known as the Counter Guardian... Heroic Spirit EMIYA.
Archer Emiya stared calmly at Takeru for a moment then said: "I think you and I... need to discuss a few things."
It was at this moment that Takeru met his first teacher!
