Replies to my Reviews

Imperial-samaB: Thanks.

Exodus12345: It's as Ddraig said. They used teamwork over him. Plus, remember that Issei's only trained for less than a year. He's got more power than skill.

father of humanity: Thanks, Allfather.

Chapter 08: I will beat this Angel's Ass! III

Sunset had just passed in the Church when a Teleportation Glyph activated, transporting the two clubs together.

"So just that we know who to look for," Motohama Nakakuni glanced around, reorienting himself. "How do we identify Asia in the case we run into her?"

"The blonde girl in nun attire who really looks like she doesn't want to be here." Issei Hyoudou cracked his knuckles as he stepped forward. "Take whatever opponent you guys want. Raynare's mine."

"Well, I guess I'm taking Mittelt then." Matsuda Takumi grinned. "Oi, Motohama, you take on that Kalawarner chick who attacked our den."

"I guess that leaves Dohnaseek to Tomo-chan and I..." Sohara Mitsuki trailed off, a bit intimidated not only by Issei's Killing Intent, but Yuuto Kiba's as well. "A-Are you okay, Kiba-senpai?"

"I apologize if I'm frightening you, Mitsuki-san." Yuuto smiled. "But Devils and Exorcists aren't fond of each other. In fact, I downright hate them."

The Cooking Club showed various signs of confusion.

"Well, in that case, I believe that we'll be handling the Stray Exorcists then." Akeno Himejima commented.

"Yuuto-senpai and I can handle it." Koneko Toujou said.

"I'll leave that to you two then." Rias Gremory ordered, her long red hair flowing as she and her {Queen} took to the air. "We'll be handling the Boundary Field to ensure no one leaves via Magic."

"Thank you, Gremory-senpai." Issei said then started strolling right for the main entrance.

"It seems that there's only one Fallen Angel inside." Yuuto said as he strolled up to his side. "It's most likely just Raynare in there, meaning that the others are standing guard."

"Mittelt's that way." Matsuda sniffed the air and started heading for the west side.

"I'll take this way then." Motohama turned east.

"We'll take the back then." Tomoki Sakurai and Sohara hurried ahead, leaving Issei with Yuuto and Koneko.

"I'm sure they know we're here." Koneko said as she walked right up to the front door. She raised a leg then promptly kicked the heavy doors off their hinges, banging them open and leaving them dangling.

Issei carefully observed as they entered. It was really abandoned as he thought the previous day, noting the damaged statues, rotting benches and cracked windows. "What a horrible place."

"Hey, hey, hey."

The trio turned to notice a Stray Exorcist with short white hair and red eyes.

"What a reunion. I'm so deeply moved!" The Exorcist gloated. "I never thought there would be a Devil alive who could escape from me. After all, I'm fucking strong. So I thought I'd kill every Devil the first time I met each of them!"

"So you see..." He reached into his coat and brought out two weapons, which seemed to be a gun and a magical Lightsaber. "I'm fucking pissed off."

"Fucking pissed at you shithead Devil bitch for making me look like a stupid prick!" He proceeded to lick his gun in a way that Issei just couldn't handle.

"Where's Asia?!" Issei stepped forward, barely managing to remember not to set fire to anything until Asia was safely out of the building.

"Oh, a new face! A Devil lover from what I see!" The Exorcist crowed. "The name's Freed Sellzen! If you're looking for that shitty Sister, then she's in the underground ceremony hall down those stairs."

He motioned towards the door he came through. "Well, it doesn't matter since you'll never make it down-"

He paused to slice a bench that Koneko suddenly picked and threw at him!

"The midget is so cliché." Freed boasted.

"...'Midget'?" Koneko frowned, letting anger onto her normally stoic face.

Issei gaped as the short girl proceeded to toss benches rapid fire, forcing the Stray Exorcist into the defensive.

He still remembered to dodge as Freed started shooting retaliatory {Light} bullets back at them. Yuuto however just leapt above it all to score an overhead slash at him.

Unfortunately, Freed was apparently as skilled as he boasted, matching all of Yuuto's strikes.

"You're not bad." Yuuto complimented as they ground their blades against each other.

"You're great too." Freed replied, bring up his gun to Yuuto's face. "You make me wanna really blow your brains out."

Yuuto backflipped away, kicking Freed's hand and dodging the {Light} bullet simultaneously as he did so.

"Well then, shall I become serious enough to match your level?" Yuuto taunted as his sword's blade became shrouded in darkness.

This time, when the two clashed, the darkness of Yuuto's sword ate the {Light} away from Freed's Lightsaber.

"What the hell?" Freed growled.

"[Holy Eraser]." Yuuto declared. "This is the {Light Devouring Sword}. Hyoudou-kun! Leave this to Koneko and I!"

"On it!" Issei rushed past them, dodging a stray bullet from Freed before kicking down the door. Looking down the stairs, he took a deep breath and roared.

"RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRREEEEEE!"

Matsuda grinned as he spied Mittelt waiting for him. "Did ya miss me, Mi-chan?"

"Of course I did!" Mittelt did a curtsy, bringing her skirt high enough to show off her garter belts. "Like what you see~ How about you give up and become mine?"

"No thanks." Matsuda replied. "I feel like you'd kill me off in a sexual but sadistic manner. I'm not really into that stuff."

"Eh~ Come on, Matsuda-kun~" Mittelt teased, raising her skirt a little higher. "Don't you want it?"

"Oh I really do." Matsuda came up to right in front of her. "But we both know that that's not we about do now."

"Eh, you mean you losing pathetically like that friend of yours?"

Matsuda's friendliness disappeared, the Beast glaring through the Human's eyes. "You shouldn't have said that."

The Lolicon and the Loli Fallen Angel briefly stared each other down before moving!

Mittelt's spear stabbed the area where Matsuda's head would had been, had he not dodged downwards and kicked forward.

Matsuda's Hardened kick connected, sending Mittelt flying into a tree.

"You see, I actually understand." Matsuda ignored the bleeding burn on his cheek and raised an arm which transformed to his Beast's forearm and started to charge an immense amount of lightning into his index finger. "Ise is like a bear to you guys' wolves. If someone is stronger than you, you naturally bring a group to team tag them. I don't criticize that. Hell, Ise and I have actually used that tactic ourselves, not to mention that it's also practically used against us all the time. The Kendo Club sends all of its members against us perverts for a reason beyond just pettiness."

The lightning ball had grown to match a tennis ball on his finger now.

"However, that hypocrisy of your's annoys me. You tag teamed him and then have the audacity to insult my friend for falling to that. [Byakko no Thunderbolt]."

Matsuda pointed, shooting the attack right at her. The result was that of a good chunk of the forest's trees being destroyed as Mittelt was hit by the full brunt of the attack and sent flying.

She soon recovered and tried to use her momentum to fly upwards. A flash of lightning and Matsuda in his Beast form smacked her through some more trees, ripping off some of her clothes in his claws as he did so.

Mittelt didn't even get a chance to recover again as Matsuda appeared again to stomp her into a crater. As blood spewed up her mouth, she tried summoning a spear to skewer Matsuda.

In a fit of curiosity, Matsuda stood still and let the spear hit him. To his pleasant surprise and Mittelt's shock, the spear broke on impact, not even needing Matsuda to use his Haki for defense.

"I see, I see now." Matsuda's voice in his Beast form, sounded way more more gravely and regal. "You really... are weak."

There was a bit of silence before Mittelt nearly exploded literally from the amount of power she released.

"DONT UNDERESTIMATE ME, BRAT!" Mittelt screamed in outrage, her two wings actually flickering to four for a brief moment. "I'M GONNA ENJOY TWISTING UP YOUR STILL ALIVE INNARDS BY THE TIME I'M DONE WITH YOOOUUU!"

"That's it. Come on, Mi-chan." Matsuda encouraged. "Keep trying."

"RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRREEEEEE!"

"So it's you again, boy." Kalawarner looked down upon the one who drove her off. Unlike her comrades, she was much more accepting of her weaknesses. "That's fine. I have a score to settle regardless."

"My name's Motohama." Motohama blurted out, hating how rushed it sounded. Unlike the others, he wasn't good at talking during fights. "I'm here to keep yu company."

"Oh?" Suddenly, she was in front of him, tilting his head upwards as she pressed their bodies together. "There are many ways to take that sentence, boy."

Motohama blushed then gulped. "Maybe I'll consider it when I win."

"If you win. So," Kalawarner leant down to whisper in Motohama's ear. "Let's get on with it."

She took off into the air, creating spears to blanket fire the entire area. After a while, she stopped to look at her handiwork, only to gasp as Motohama burst out of the dust cloud, flying with what seemed to be a transformation using his legs.

"[Frigo Turbines.]" Motohama breathed, relying on the Snowsteel constructs to keep him in the air. He had transformed his legs into jet engines, relying on a combo of Snowsteel and Armament Haki to keep them solid.

"Oh. Not bad, boy." Kalawarner complimented, creating two spears in both her hands. "But now, you've stepped into an aerial battle against an opponent who was born to fly."

She then threw her spears forward, causing Motohama to dodge around.

"[Frigo Gatling]!" Motohama transformed both his forearms into Hardened Gatling guns and fired at Kalawarner, putting her on the defensive.

It went on for a while, flying around like actual aircraft and doing their best to shoot each other down as they steadily flew higher.

While Kalawarner kept trying to bring the fight into CQC as Motohama surpassed her in long range, Motohama stayed away for practical reasons until in frustration, she flew upward and after reaching an apex, she notched her spear and dived.

Motohama's jaw dropped as Kalawarner nearly broke the sound barrier and crashed into him. Motohama managed to Harden his arms before catching the spear in his grip as they both descended rapidly.

"This is the end! Fall, boy!" Kalawarner used her wings to accelerate them further towards Terra Firma.

"Shit!" Motohama yelled, clutching the spear for his life as this weapon would definitely burn him and bypass his {Snow} invincibility, his Armament Haki saving his arms from being seared off. "What do I do?! What can I do?... Oh right."

Kalawarner blinked in surprise as Motohama fully dispersed into {Snow}, reforming above her and grabbing her from behind.

"You little- eek!" Kalawarner shrieked as Motohama grabbed her boobs and transformed his hands into snow, slipping them into her clothes. "You damn molester!"

"Fall!" Motohama yelled as he ignored her elbows smacking his constantly regenerating head.

The duo crashed into the earth, throwing up a huge plume of snow and dust. While Motohama dispersed into {Snow} on impact, Kalawarner however took the full brunt and was rendered unconscious.

"RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRREEEEEE!"

Tomoki breathed deeply as he shook off the brief headache he got from slamming headfirst into a tree. Thank goodness their training at the Strong World islands had ramped up their durability immensely or that would killed him.

"Hmm" Dohnaseek's brow was furrowed as he blocked Sohara's strikes, sending her flying only to deal with Tomoki jumping back in with a Hardened punch which was also blocked. "I don't sense that power within her as I did before. Plus, despite your Longinus, you are a bit weaker than Hyoudou. I guess I overestimated you."

Tomoki gritted before yelling. "[Prison Shield]!"

Dohnaseek yelled as a cage of shields imprisoned him, leaving a chain connected to Tomoki who grabbed it and started to swing Dohnaseek around till he slammed it back into the earth, throwing up a dust cloud.

"Tomo-chan, are you alright?" Sohara asked in worry.

"Worry about yourself, Sohara!" Tomoki replied, switching to the {Thunder Peaduck Shield} he got from Billy the duck/peacock hybrid of Merveille. Everyone loved him as he was the gentlest of the monsters and had willingly given Tomoki some feathers for {Last Longinus}. "You're less durable than I am!"

His paranoia was rewarded as Dohnaseek suddenly appeared in front of him, spinning around to slam his spear against his shield.

Despite the fact he was nearly sent flying, Tomoki smirked as Dohnaseek was promptly electrocuted.

"[Double Durability]!" Tomoki could only gasp in shock as Dohnaseek broke off the counterattack and seriously sent him flying for real. Luckily, he couldn't go further as Sohara took over, attacking him with Hardened Chops and kicks.

"Tch." Dohnaseek intercepted the blows with expert precision, smirking even further as Sohara kicked out, slamming her heel into his spear. "Your problem is even the opposite of his. Immense skill but almost little power."

"Where is it?!" He pushed out, sending her flying. "That glimpse of power that smashed me through a tree with just an elbow?!"

'What's this power he keeps talking about?' Tomoki grunted as he stood up.

"No matter." Dohnaseek rummaged through his trench coat. "Even with an arm missing, I still managed to be bored. I guess I must fulfill our original mission here, even if on the wrong target."

Dohnaseek threw down a smoke bomb, obscuring Tomoki's vision of everyone.

Tomoki had always known that his Observation Haki wasn't quite as good as Sohara's. As while it warned him of immediate danger, Sohara was already tackling him out of the way.

Tomoki grunted as he slid across the ground, gravel digging into his arm. He heard a sharp intake of breath, and pulled himself up.

Tomoki's eyes widened as a {Light} spear stabbed through Sohara's stomach, and he felt the bottom of his stomach drop out when Dohnaseek grabbed it and pulled it out in one smooth motion with a sickening squelch.

"Die, human." Dohnaseek coldly stabbed Sohara again, ignoring her screams as he pinned her into the ground. "If you can't entertain me enough, at least do that much."

"SOHARA!" Tomoki rushed past Dohnaseek to her side. He knelt down, ignoring the blood that stained his hands and legs as he grabbed her hand. "Sohara! Please say something!"

"Tomo-chan..." Sohara coughed out. "I... I'm..."

Any further words were halted as Dohnaseek kicked her, sending her flying some meters away. "You're next boy."

Tomoki didn't hear that. He didn't acknowledge Dohnaseek at all. All he could notice in the suddenly darkened world was Sohara, his childhood friend and lover, slowly bleeding out.

'Again?'

'Am I about to lose her again? Ise-senpai isn't here to save us again. And Sohara is about to die because I'm too weak? And this bastard is- is-'

'My wrath? Yeah, I hate someone very much...'

𝖂𝖗𝖆𝖙𝖍 𝕾𝖊𝖗𝖎𝖊𝖘: 𝖂𝖗𝖆𝖙𝖍 𝕾𝖍𝖎𝖊𝖑𝖉

'I hate him. I hate them all. Those damn Fallen Angels!'

{Last Longinus}'s emerald gem turned a sickly red, as dark power flooded Tomoki's body. "How dare they?!"

"Hmph." Dohnaseek grunted, wondering about the boy's strange power up. "A fancy trick you learnt from the Devils won't save you here, boy!"

He rushed forward and slammed his spear against {Last Longinus} while Doubling his strength and speed. Unlike before, Tomoki didn't even budge.

"Tomo-chan..." Sohara weakly gazed in horror as red markings spread all over Tomoki's clothes and body, causing him to roar in a mixture of pain and rage.

The dark power burst forward, revealing {Last Longinus}'s appearance to have changed into a new shield.

"What is-" With the shield's appearance, a vortex of wind blew around Tomoki, knocking Dohnaseek away. "Ahhhhhh!"

The red icons finally dispersed from around him as a final burst of wind whipped around him as a ball of red energy pulsed out, forming a crater under his feet. {Last Longinus}'s gemstone turned a brighter red as the shield transformed to a black, flame-like appearance, similar to lava and brimstone mixing together. Finally, cursed red flames burst forth from around him, granting him a demonic appearance.

Dohnaseek felt unnatural fear. What stood before him possibly couldn't be recognized as human. 'Impossible! Did the boy achieve Balance Breaker?!'

"RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRREEEEEE!"

Dohnaseek, stuck between his 'Fight, Flight or Fright instincts', was startled into choosing 'Fight' and rushed forward to stab Tomoki, who instantly blocked with his shield. This was a mistake.

"Burn."

Dohnaseek screamed as he jumped away trying to put out the cursed flames that sprang unto his arm.

"Suffer!"

Tomoki walked to the screaming man and raised his shield up to slam it against the man's chest, spreading even more cursed flames on him.

"DIE!"

A dazzling blast of Holy energy burst forth from behind him, distracting him from Dohnaseek and removing the cursed flames from Dohnaseek.

Sohara was floating, her wounds healing as light shone of her body. Her clothes disappeared only to be replaced with a white, lightly armored outfit which exposed a lot of cleavage while her long brown hair turned rosy pink and finally a large pair of soft pink wings.

Sohara opened her eyes to reveal emerald eyes rather than brown, looking at him with unrestrained love. "Tomo-chan."

"Y-You're still alive." Tomoki could barely believe it, subconsciously pulling back his cursed energy and ridding himself of the cursed flames.

"It's fine, Tomo-chan. I'm still here." Sohara brought him close, unminding as he buried his face into her breasts and started to sob a bit.

There was a bit of silence which was broken when Dohnaseek struggled to his feet, laughing maniacally despite his immense burns. "There it is! I knew it!"

Sohara and Tomoki separated to both glare at the Fallen Angel as he kept cackling.

"Angeloid! Daedalus' legendary project!" Dohnaseek yelled out in triumph. "I thought it was just a story when Kokabiel-sama mentioned it but it's real after all! Kokabiel-sama will be so pleased-"

He didn't get further before Sohara's wings spread out and launched several projectiles into his body in an instant.

"[Artemis]."

The projectiles exploded, blasting Dohnaseek's limbs into bloody bits. Dohnaseek's screaming was cut off when Sohara walked over and stomped his face hard enough to cave his skull in.

Sohara only had a brief look of smug satisfaction before remembering her audience. She nervously turned to Tomoki expecting shock and maybe horror, only to be met with wonder from him.

"That was awesome!" Tomoki ran up to her, picking her up in his arms to just hold her. "How'd you do that? Is it a Sacred Gear too?"

"Um, not exactly." Sohara replied, remembering the brief mental encounter she had with a blue haired Angel. "Let's wait till the others are done, I don't want to explain it over and over again."

"Seems fair." Tomoki replied, starting to notice how sexy Sohara currently looked.

"Tomo-chan? Whats-" Sohara blushed and gasped as Tomoki's cock bulged against her. "Here?! Now?!"

"I'm not sure I can even hold back from keeping us virgins anymore." Tomoki shamelessly brought his hands lower to grope her ass.

Sohara blushed harder and slowly wrapped her leg around Tomoki. "Well... Neither can I to be honest-"

*BOOOOOOM*

The two snapped out of it, looking towards the church as a winged figure smashed through it to roll outside.

"I think that might be Raynare."

"That's pretty obvious, Sohara. We already established that she was the only Fallen Angel inside."

Issei's roar, which was mixed with Conqueror's Haki had the effect of knocking out all the Stray Exorcists (except Freed unfortunately, who had plenty of willpower) and blasting out the windows.

As he descended, he came across various Stray Exorcists who had fallen to his Haki, leaving just Asia and Raynare.

Issei's breath hitched as he saw an unconscious, near naked Asia Argento chained up to a huge strange looking crucifix, not really liking the parallels to the actual Christ. Raynare herself was unsteady on her feet.

"Ise-san..." Asia groggily replied.

[BOOST!]

"Asia-chan!" Issei smashed his fists together, {Boosted Gear} glinting in the candlelight. "I'm here to save you!"

"It's a touching reunion, but I'm sorry to that you're interrupting." Raynare, not feeling sorry at all, snapped her fingers, causing Asia to cry in pain as her crucifix glowed an ominous green.

[BOOST!]

Issei didn't waste anytime. Raynare managed to put up a spear to block but it was rendered ineffective immediately.

"[Surekill: Red Dragon's Megaton Backhand]!"

{Boosted Gear} Hardened as it became wreathed in surging crimson flames, crashing through Raynare's spear and backhanding her stomach, sending her into- no, through the ceiling and then upwards in to the churchyard.

*BOOOOOOM*

Issei ignored the hole he made to release Asia from the crucifix. "Ddraig! What do I do?! Why is Asia so cold?!"

[I understood from the moment I saw that Cross. Issei, the Fallen Angel were going to use that Crucifix to take away the Sister's Sacred Gear!]

"What?!" Asia said as he tried to pump some life back into Asia's slowing heart. "Is that why Dohnaseek suddenly had a Sacred Gear when we fought again?"

[Most likely. However, I know for sure that doing such a thing would definitely kill the original host!]

"What?! Shit! What do I do?" Issei gazed at the jewel of his Sacred Gear. "Ddraig. Is it possible to transfer power to another? I gonna Boost my Vitality to the limit and give over the excess to Asia!"

[It's possible, but you haven't yet attained the third level of {Boosted Gear}. It's impossible for you right now.] Ddraig reluctantly admitted. [The best we can do is be here for Asia in her final moments, then violently reduce Raynare to ashes.]

"You're saying to give up? Just who the hell do you think I am?!" Issei growled. "I don't care about impossibilities or limits! I wanna see Asia alive and well with us! Even if God Himself were to come down here to take her soul away, I'll cave the Bastard's face in myself!"

"Do you hear me?!" Issei raised his fists up to the air. "Evolve, {Boosted Gear}!"

[DRAGON BOOSTER, SECOND LIBERATION!]

The Gauntlets transformed, covering his forearms completely while exceeding his elbows a bit, gaining a second jewel in each Gauntlet and a total of eighteen spikes grew all over them, resulting in a total of twenty golden spikes of various sizes and shapes.

The resultant transformation burst forth with emerald power and crimson flames, utterly obliterating the area around him and blowing the church sky high!

[BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST!]

"Ddraig!" Issei placed his hands over Asia, who's breathing was now dangerously slow. "Transfer Vitality to Asia Argento!"

[TRANSFER!]

The excess of energy flowing out of Issei quickly changed direction to seep into Asia's body. Asia shifted, blushing as a cute little moan escaped her lips. After writhing her body under his treatment and blushing some more, she let out a soft moan, shuddering into Issei's arms with her nipples erect through her current attire.

"I'm not supposed to get a boner in this situation..." Issei muttered, his voice waking Asia up. Issei silently gasped as Asia revealed slit pupils in her viridian eyes, which slowly returned to normal.

"Ddraig, is this supposed to happen?"

[I do not know. You've already broken into the Realm of Impossibilities just by willing it, Issei.] Ddraig replied. [From what I can assume, given that you were injecting her with the lifeforce of a human who's soul is intertwined with that of a dragon's, it had the effect of turning her part dragon, similar to you.]

"Any side effects?"

[As far I know and care, none. Other than your fighting prowess and Sacred Gear, she's essentially gained all the benefits you gained from me, although in a much lesser scale as she has no actual dragon to bond with, beyond you.]

Asia slowly struggled to a sitting position, only to be glomped by Issei. Asia widened her eyes in surprise before relaxing and hugging him back. "I... I don't know exactly what you did, but thank you, Ise-san. Thank you."

"It's fine." Issei took off his jacket and wrapped it around her after noting her slight shivering. "Now, stay here."

"Ise-san!" Asia called out as Issei leapt up to the churchyard, making Asia take note of the burning ruins around her. "Are you going to defeat Raynare?"

Issei didn't turn back to face her. "Just rest, Asia. Everything will be over soon."

Issei didn't say anything as Rias landed a short distance from him, entering the church to deal with the Stray Exorcists inside. He focused only on Raynare as she slowly came to and stood up.

"You... You damn human." Raynare growled. She really looked pathetic now, her body littered with bruises and burns. Issei especially liked the horrible one on her midsection. While it was caused by one of his Ultimate Moves, the power must have been weakened since he'd done it offhandedly.

"You know... You've always looked down on humans." Issei slowly walked towards her, the air heating up around him until he started to burn the ground with each footstep. "How does it feel to be beaten by humans? The Gremory Peerage may have handled the Stray Exorcists, but all of your Fallen Angel buddies?"

As if on cue, the others arrived. Matsuda and Motohama with their unconscious opponents in tow and Tomoki and Sohara (who had transformed back) without Dohnaseek. The implications of the battle crazy Dohnaseek's absence wreaked havoc on Raynare's mind.

"Your opponents were humans, but I see not a single winner out of any of you."

Raynare punched the ground in frustration, cracking it a bit. She growled like a feral dog before rushing forward to punch his cheek.

A small shockwave erupted from the impact as she had moved using her wings to accelerate her speed. She briefly wondered why none of the others had even moved to stop her, then from the immense pain in her hand, she realized why.

Without even moving, Issei had let her hit his Hardened cheek, which broke her hand. As she stepped back in shock, he brought up his Gauntleted hand to her chest, placing his index and middle finger right in the center.

A Martial Arts expert, Bruce Lee fan or anyone with common sense really would instantly recognize the move or at least make an attempt to get away. Apparently Raynare wasn't any of the above, which led to her choking out spit and blood as Issei shattered a rib with his 'One Inch Punch'.

"Damned human..." Raynare stumbled backwards as blood dribbled out her lips before facing him again. Issei had to at least compliment her stubbornness. "Damned humans! For the sake of Azazel-sama, I won't lose to you!"

As Issei started to slowly walk to her, Raynare started pelting him with Light spears, creating and shooting them like a machine gun. By the time she was exhausted, there was a plume of smoke where Issei was.

Raynare allowed herself to feel a small tang of hope and relief.

Then Issei took another step closer, blowing away the smoke to reveal that not even his clothes had been scuffed, thanks to the aura of Armament Haki currently surrounding him. As Raynare froze in shock, Issei closed the distance in an instant, then punched Raynare right in the burn mark.

Raynare actually screamed from the pain, falling to her knees while genuine tears of pain spilled from her eyes. "This can't be real... This can't be happening..."

"This is happening, Raynare. And we both know, you're the cause of this." Issei raised his hand towards her, a ball of crimson flames appearing in his hand with enough heat to stack terror onto Raynare's despair.

"[Red Dragon's Sunbea-]"

"Waaaaaaaiiiiiiit!"

Issei's attack went off course as Asia slammed into his back and hugged him, the {Red Dragon's Sunbeam} going into the forest and causing an explosion that Akeno would later deal with before a forest fire started.

"Don't do it, Ise-san!" Asia cried out, with tears staining her cheek. "She's already beaten! You'd just be flat out killing her! Please, you don't need to be angry anymore..."

The others just uncomfortably stood by with Akeno and Yuuto specifically taking their time to extinguish the forest fire and search for stragglers respectively.

"I... don't want to see... my precious friend commit a senseless murder."

Issei stared blankly at Asia before growling loudly. He breathed in then roared out, unleashing a bright red torrent of flames into the air in the frustration for a whole minute before running out of breath.

"What do I do then, Asia?" Issei said. "Raynare and the others already know our personal info, so letting a vengeful bitch like her off is just monumentally stupid."

"Um..."

Everyone turned to an awkward looking Motohama. "We could use that."

Everyone but Issei and Matsuda were utterly confused.

"I agree." Matsuda stated eagerly. "I know we talked about not using that much, but it seems like the best situation."

"Whoa, hold on." Tomoki asked. "What is this 'that' that you guys mean?"

"No time to waste. I was against ever using that, but it seems like the best option now." Issei suddenly grabbed a whimpering Raynare's neck and used his free arm for Asia. "Tomoki, Sohara! Both of you go home! Gremory-senpai, I'll explain everything to you tomorrow!"

The Pervert Trio, the Fallen Angels and Asia then disappeared in a blaze of rainbow light.

The next day, Rias sat in her club room, drinking tea when Issei walked in.

"Good morning, Gremory-senpai." Issei took a seat opposite her.

"Please, with our alliance, I feel like there's no need to be so formal." Rias replied. "Call me Rias, alright?"

"Then, Rias-senpai." Issei relaxed into his seat. "I'm guessing you want a debrief on what happened with the Fallen Angels."

"Please."

Issei then proceeded to explain how he'd used a spell from his master Zelretch's collection to serve as a deterrent. It was a sort of seal which caused all of Asia's sensations to be shared with Raynare, Mittelt and Kalawarner in a one way direction. That way, they couldn't carelessly attack her again. They were staying with one member of the Perverted Trio each, so as to not trigger any political bombs from Fallen Angels and Devils having too much contact.

Naturally, they each had to hypnotize their parents to not question their new charges.

"Of course, while Tomoki brought up the issue of them simply attacking our parents," Issei stated. "I simply reminded them all that we'd react even worse than we did last night. They caved easily."

"I see." Rias genuflected. "While as a woman, I do worry for leaving them in you guys' care. As a Devil on the other hand, they did callously murder Koneko's client so unless their boss comes looking for them, I can gladly ignore this. Also, regarding what you asked of me, as gratitude for trying to save the client even though she had no idea of his identity, I've granted her a false identity here."

Rias stood up and walked around the table to sit by Issei's side. "She's your responsibility now. Better treat her well."

"I will." Issei replied, focusing a bit on her close breasts. "Thank you."

"So," Rias leaned in. "What about Sohara Mitsuki's sudden Holy abilities? I researched into her ancestry, but I only know that she was adopted from an orphanage called 'Synapse'."

"I don't really know." Issei replied. "We've determined that it wasn't a Sacred Gear, but an Angel might have experimented on her, giving her some Angelic powers before she got adopted. I'd tell you more but you and Sohara aren't that close yet."

"I see. That's reasonable." Rias chuckled, which did interesting things to her breasts (which he swore was bra-less), before she stood up. "We should stop here before the newcomer arrives."

"Newcomer?" Issei replied before he felt Asia's aura with Observation Haki as she rushed through the door.

"Ise-san!" Asia greeted, while dressed in their school uniform. "Does it look good on me?" She did a twirl which showed off her white panties. Once again, Issei swore to shake the hand of the one who designed the Kuoh Academy girl uniform. Wait a minute.

"Are you transferring to this school?" Even though he asked Asia, Issei still turned to Rias for answers.

"My father is involved with the school's management, so it wasn't a problem." Rias replied, easily giving information which dropped his jaw. "Since she's about your age, you'll have in your class and club. Today's her first day so take proper care of her."

"I see..." Issei sighed before looking back to Asia. "Well, Asia. Are you happy with us?"

"Yes!" Asia readily replied. "As long as I'm with Ise-kun, I feel satisfied."

Seeing Asia's honest smile, Issei felt some invisible weight lift off his shoulders. "Good."
