Chapter 11: Explanations are a pain

(Normal P.O.V)

Issei and Sona met back with everyone else at the meeting room as they prepared themselves for a barrage of questions coming their way.

However, before anyone could say anything, an explosion occurred where Azazel was, which caused him to create a barrier at the last second.

"Geez, I must be losing my edge here. That's uncalled for, Vali."

"Sorry, things seem to be more interesting on this side."

Everyone turned to look at Vali in his balance breaker form as he remained in the air. That was when some of the fast ones understood the situation, that being that Vali was a spy for the Khaos Brigade.

Vali then talked about how being on that side was more interesting for him, before revealing his true identity as Vali Lucifer, the descendant of the original Lucifer with his eight devil wings on display for everyone to see.

"Though I have to admit, I didn't expect the Sitri counterpart to also have some relation to the original satans as well." He said.

That got most people to look at Sona, they already saw that she also had multiple wings but were still having difficultly to believe that she was.

"Regardless, I am rather disappointed in you, Hyoudou Issei, my rival." Vali continued.

"What about me?" P-Issei asked.

"Comparing you to your counterpart is like comparing night and day. I actually wish that my rival was him rather you, but I guess fate works differently." Vali said.

That was when Vali started egging P-Issei on, insulting his status as the weakest Red Dragon Emperor, even resorting to threaten to kill his family.

That remark got P-Issei enraged. "Why you…" His gauntlet was glowing bright green before changing into his Scale Mail and flew upwards to attack Vali.

Vali smirked underneath his mask, he knew that angering P-Issei was just the thing to trigger a power boost in him.

The two rivals fought in the skies, each using their own Scared Gear abilities, but it was clear that Vali had the upper hand as he knocked P-Issei down several times.

That was when P-Issei summoned a sword from his left gauntlet and started using it as Vali began to dodge more often.

[Looks like he still has some fight, partner. That sword your counterpart's wielding is Ascalon.] Ddraig told his host.

"A dragon slaying sword huh…If he does properly wield it, then he'll be able to hold his own for a bit." Issei commented.

"But it's still not much, the gap in experience is rather obvious and he knows it." Sona said.

"Wait a minute…where did you two get the popcorn from?" Rias asked as everyone turned their attention. Now they could see Issei carrying a bag of popcorn from…somewhere.

"Uh, magic obviously." He said as he grabbed some popcorn and ate them. But to everyone's amazement, Sona also grabbed some popcorn from the bag and started snacking as well.

"You're following his actions?!" P-Sona exclaimed, she was in disbelief that her counterpart is this easy going.

"What, we're just waiting for the fight to be over and done with." Her counterpart replied.

"Yes, but still…" P-Sona protested before being interrupted by a loud crash not far from them. Everyone turned to see P-Issei within a small crater as he slowly got up from the impact.

Rias and her peerage were worried about his injuries, that was when he picked up something from the ground. His counterpart noticed it was a jewel from the Vanishing Dragon's armor.

'Wait…is he actually going to do what I think he is…' Issei thought as his counterpart acted.

"Albion! Vali! I'll be taking your power!" He shouted as he smashed the green jewel that was on the back of his right hand into pieces, and drove into the jewel that he picked up earlier.

A silver aura sprang forth from his right hand and spread to his arm as bright colours of green and blue light blink alternately. P-Issei screamed from the process as he trying to combine an opposite power with his own.

Eventually, a voice declared the results. [Vanishing Dragon Power is taken!] P-Issei's right hand was wrapped in a white light before dying down, revealing a white gauntlet on his right arm.

"Hehe…so this is dividing gear?" P-Issei commented.

[I don't believe it. He actually managed to combine both mine and Albion's power!] Ddriag was surprised at the development.

"A Red Dragon Emperor with the dividing ability...looks like he can prove me wrong after all." Issei smirked at this.

"You are talking about his latent ability, right?" Sona asked.

"Yeah, I first thought he is rather hopeless but he has quite the potential. If he keeps surprising me like this, he might actually be a decent rival for me." Issei admitted that his counterpart can be competent at times.

"Hahaha! Looks like you can be a decent rival for me after all, then I'll start getting more serious!" Vali was also surprised at the development but was happy with it.

{Half dimension!}

The Divine Dividing spread out and glowed blue as a massive aura surrounded Vali. He then waved his arms at the surroundings below him and they were halved in an instant.

"What the…" P-Issei was shocked at the display as he didn't understand what Vali was planning to do, that was when Azazel stepped in.

"Sekiryuutei, Hyoudou Issei. Let me clearly explain it to you." Azazel called out to P-Issei to inform him. "That ability halves everything within his surroundings."

"Halves everything?" P-Issei asked.

"In other words, if he became serious, then he could even halve Rias Gremory's bust size." Azazel said with a serious face.

"Huhhh? What the hell!?" Rias turned red at what he said.

Issei on the other hand had a chill up his spine. "Hey Sona, since my counterpart is a massive pervert…you don't think he's going to…" He asked with a nervous face to his lover.

"Uh-huh, I think you should prepare yourself." Sona said as she placed an arm behind Issei.

There was silence from P-Issei as he let that information sink in, soon his eyes widen in shock as he turned to look at Vali.

"LIKE HELL YOU WILL!"

He shouted at the top of his lungs. A massive burst of power filled him as his Boosted Gear continuously gained power as the air around him vibrated.

"Don't fuck with me! I won't let you do anything to my Buchou's breasts!"

[Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!]

"You're dead Vali!" P-Issei shouted as he flew towards him at high speeds engaging him again. Thanks to the huge boost in power, he was now beginning to get the upper hand as he started to wound Vali a bit.

"Hahaha! To think the Red Dragon Emperor would power up this much just so her president's breasts remained the same." Azazel laughed while Rias was still blushing.

Issei on the other hand was actually crouching on the floor and mumbling to himself with a visible dark cloud above his head as Sona tried to comfort him the best she could.

"I'm going to be a damn laughing stock…Am I such a pervert…" He said to himself.

"There there, it's alright." Sona comforted him by hugging his back, much to Serafall's dismay. She tried to approach the two but P-Sona held her back from doing anything.

Eventually, the fight between P-Issei and Vali came to a close when one of Vali's friends intervene and stopped the fight from escalating further.

"Bikou? Why are you here?" Vali asked.

The man called Bikou stood next to Vali, having short black hair and brown eyes, wearing a light red armor with shoulder pads, as well as a long wooden staff in his hand.

"We're going to start the fight between the northern country gods, the guys made a fuss at headquarters saying you should quickly return." The man replied.

"I see." Vali replied. "So it's time already, huh?"

"Who are you?" P-Issei asked.

"That's Bikou, the descendant of the Great Victorious Fighting Buddha." Azazel said as he walked up to P-Issei.

"I never thought that you'd also be a member of the Khaos Brigade." Azazel said to Bikou.

"Unlike my ancestor, I live more of a free life, you know?" Bikou said cheerfully while laughing. "Nice to meet you, Red Dragon Emperor. As well as to your counterpart."

Bikou said a bit louder for Issei to hear, who recovered from the earlier depression and gave a finger gun action.

"Alright, see ya." Bikou used his staff and opened up a portal underneath Vali and himself.

"Let's settle this another time, so get stronger my rival." Vali said as he and Bikou began to disappear. "And to you my rival from another world, I look forward to our fight in the future."

Issei didn't say anything but simply nodded his head. Then both Vali and Bikou disappeared through the portal.

"Is it over?" Rias asked.

"You are correct, all of the other attackers have been dealt with." A female voice said.

Everyone present turned to see two people walking towards them. The first was a long blued hair woman in a military uniform while the other was a white haired man in a suit with a prosthetic arm.

They all got into battle stances in case they were a threat.

"And you are…" Sirzechs asked.

"Hey you two, looks like our strategy worked." Issei and Sona walked up to her as the woman crossed her arms.

"Yeah, but they were only good for a warm up." The woman replied.

"In any case, I believe I've gotten more kills than you so I win." The man said.

"No you didn't, I dealt with more of them than you, boy."

"Oh, you wanna go, woman!?"

"Sure, I like to see you try."

"Hajime, Esdeath, enough. You both can settle who won later." Sona said, seeing that the two of them were going to butt heads.

Everyone relaxed a bit seeing that those two were friends with their counterparts, but were still curious as to who they are.

"Anyway, tell everyone they can go back first. Sona and I still have to do some explanation to them." Issei said as he looked back to everyone.

"Alright, but try not to take too long. Hey Asta, time to go back." Hajime said.

"Coming!" Asta replied as he rushed down to meet up with them. With that, the three of them had a magic circle formed below them and teleported back.


While Issei and Sona were talking with their peerage members, the faction leaders took this time to repair the school and by the time they were done talking, the school had finished repairs.

They also finally signed the three-way treaty, not only that, P-Issei requested Michael to let P-Asia and Xenovia pray, to which he accepted, much to the two's happiness.

"Well, we finally did it." Serafall said.

"Yes, the peace treaty has been successful." Michael said.

"Good, now that that's been settled I think it's time for us to answer some questions." Everyone turned to see Issei and Sona walking back.

"So, where should we start?" Issei asked.

"I think the biggest question everyone wants to know right now is whether or not I'm related to the Old Satan Faction." Sona began.

"Yes, we have other questions but that is boggling our minds quite a bit. Can you please answer that first?" Sirzechs asked.

Sona sighed as he looked at Issei, he simply nodded his head as she turned back to face everyone. She closed her eyes in thought, before opening them again.

"Yes…I am related to the Old Satan Faction in my world."

The shocked faces on most people were present, they figured she was related earlier but now hearing the truth from her didn't help ease their shock.

"Sona…how can that be?" Serafall asked, she still had not refer to her alternate sister as So-tan due to the seriousness of this topic.

"My mother, Ms Layla Sitri was quite different in my world. She was a descendant of the original Leviathan. The title basically runs in the family." Sona explained.

"Mother was what?! But-" Her counterpart exclaimed.

"You heard what I said." Sona cut her off before looking downwards, anyone can tell that she doesn't want to talk much about her heritage.

"Looks like that is a rather sensitive topic." Azazel said.

"Yeah, while I have accepted my heritage, it's still hard to talk about it." Sona said.

"Okay, moving on…" Sirzechs continued as Sona and Issei had to answer several questions from the others. However, to Issei and Sona's credit, they gave cryptic answers so that they had to put the pieces together themselves.

Soon, the questionnaire for the couple was finally over. "Well, anyone else want to ask anymore?" Azazel asked.

"Actually, we have something to talk about, but we'll need to speak with the leaders ALONE." Issei said sternly.

"Why just them?" Rias asked.

"Because this is something that only they should know." Sona said sternly.

Seeing that this was pretty secretive, Sirzechs told everyone that they can leave first. This was practically an order so everyone went back to their homes.

"Okay, so what is it that you want to talk with us?" Sirzechs said in a very serious tone.

Issei and Sona looked at each other with perplexed faces, with Sona nodding her head which prompted Issei to reveal.

"How familiar are you with…the Beast of the Apocalypse?"

It took a few seconds for his words to sink in to the leaders before all of their eyes widen in shock. They figured out what Issei was talking about and this rang all sorts of alarms.

"Kid…are you saying what I think you're saying?" Azazel wanted to confirm.

"We're not kidding, since this occurred in our world." Sona said in a serious tone.

"So…the seal was actually broken and…it caused the destruction of your world…" Michael commented.

"Okay, but why do you have to tell us this? Didn't that only occur in your world?" Serafall asked.

Sona was the one explained. "Yeah, while this did occur in our world, Issei and I compared the events that has happened so far between this world and ours."

"While there might be some different circumstances, the events that occur are still relatively the same. When Kokabiel attacked Kuoh and the three factions meeting for example."

That got the leaders to be alarmed at what Sona was implying. "Which implies that there's the possibility that the Beast can get released in this world, just like in yours." Sirzechs said.

"Well then, this is one massive forewarning you both are giving us." Azazel said.

"I doubt we gain anything by lying to you about this, you all are the only ones so far who know of this." Issei said.

"Regardless, thanks for telling us this. We'll make sure to prepare that such an event will not happen." Sirzechs said.

"Alright, that's all we want to talk about. If you need to talk to us, Azazel knows where we live." Issei said.

A teleportation circle appeared under Issei and Sona as they prepared to head back. But before they did, Sona said one more thing.

"Oh right, maybe we can hang out sometime together…Onee-chan." She said with a sad smile before teleporting.

Serafall was stunned at what she just heard that she froze for a few seconds. "Hey magical girl, you alright?" Azazel asked.

"She called me Onee-chan. I can't remember the last time So-tan called me that." Serafall said but she was deep in thought.

'You weren't able to spend much time with your sister before she wasn't around anymore huh…and that smile you had, I saw the sadness you were hiding. You had it rough, didn't you…'

Serafall kept that to herself as she started to plan in her head when and where to hang out with her sister's counterpart.


Several days passed by since the treaty was established. The fact that there are parallel versions of the Red Dragon Emperor and Sitri heiress spread, so now the supernatural world is aware of the parallel world travellers.

Somewhere in the Underworld, lies a deep area that is completely hidden which reveals a hidden mansion. Inside were two individuals who were discussing the events earlier.

"I knew that attack would fail." A male voice said.

"She intended to fight them all by herself if necessary, we should not be surprise with the result." Another voice said.

"Still, we had to pull quite a bit of resources for that attack, Creusey."

The man revealed to be Creusey sighed as he did not deny that claim. He looked back to a screen which showcased the attack at the meeting, the screen was now showing the fight between Sona and Katerea.

"Regardless, we did get some interesting information. What do you think of the alternate version of the Sitri heiress, Shalba?" He asked.

Shalba had to pause for a bit before answering. "Quite surprising, to think that she is related to the original Leviathan."

"Yes, and the power she displayed has pretty much surpassed Katerea." Creusey said.

"Well then, how shall we continue on from this, Rizevim-sama?"

A communication circle flared to life as another voice was heard. "Well, while this development certainly is interesting, it does little to hamper our goals." The one called Rizevim said.

"Our plans will still be carried out, but I trust that you all would have to adjust them. It's very likely that those people from an alternate world have full knowledge about our strategies."

"Yes, Rizevim-sama…" Shalba said.

"Also, keep an eye for other parallel world travellers. If those counterparts have appeared, then it is also possible that there are other counterparts that also share our goals." Rizevim said.

"Understood, Rizevim-sama." Shalba and Creusey said.

The communication circle then turned off as Rizevim was sitting on his throne, collecting his thoughts.

'If that Red Dragon Emperor and and Sitri heiress came to this world, then it should be possible to travel to their world as well.' He thought.

He slowly stood from his throne as he walked to his quarters. "Well then, let's just see how those counterparts truly affect this world." He commented.


"Man, these surprises just keep coming. Don't they Cao Cao?" A man leaning against a wall said.

"Yeah, first the Red Dragon Emperor and now the Sitri heiress. Who knows how much more people from a parallel world appear?" A woman sitting around asked.

Currently there is a group of people sitting or standing around a meeting table as they were watching a screen that showed the events that occurred at the three factions meeting.

"Okay, I know the news is rather surprising but that's not what we're here to talk about, Jeanne, Siegfried." Cao Cao said.

"Why not? That Sitri showed herself to be at the level of a Maou, she'll be quite the opponent for me." A large size man responded.

"Not you too, Heracles." Cao Cao commented. "Anyway, while the reveal of another Sitri heiress is surprising, what I'm most surprised about her was her attack that she used to defeat Katerea."

The screen then showed Sona uttering her aria and used Gram against Katerea, which resulted in fatally wounding her. Most of the people seeing the attack were rather surprised, especially Siegfried.

"…Did she just said what I think she said?" He asked to confirm that he wasn't hearing things.

"Yes she did, Apparently the sword she used is the Demonic Sword Gram, though I didn't expect the sword to look like that." Georg said.

"Yeah, no offense Sieg-kun, but that version of Gram looks way cooler than yours." Jeanne said.

"You're telling me. She just fired a beam from her sword, why can't mine do that?" Siegfried complained.

"Really? You're complaining about that?" Georg deadpanned.

"Anyway, let's start our meeting regarding our new information we have and what we should do now." Cao Cao said.


"What are you doing here in Kuoh!?" P-Issei exclaimed as he saw the scene before him, which was Azazel just chilling on a sofa as he drank a cup of coffee.

The ORC were told by P-Sona to gather after school at one place which was a café, along with the entire student council. So the two groups entered the café and the first thing they saw was the leader of the fallen angels.

"Oh, it's because I'm going to start being a teacher at your school." Azazel said nonchantlantly.

"EEhh!?" Everyone present were in shock.

"Why would a leader of a faction become a teacher in Kuoh?" Saji asked.

"Well, after discussing with the other leaders, we thought it would be best if there was one of us to assist you guys in governing Kuoh, seeing that this town is a hot spot for trouble. Also I'm now going to be the new advisor of the Occult Research Club." Azazel explained.

"Okay, then why you?" Rias asked.

"Well, my sister threatened to come instead of him." P-Sona sighed.

That got everyone present to think of Serafall being the teacher instead, which resulted in everyone thinking that Azazel would be the better option.

"Okay…in any case, why are we in a café Sona?" Rias asked.

"I agree, if we are going to have a meeting of sorts, is it okay to do it here Kaichou?" Tsubaki asked.

"Yeah, that's because we asked for the meeting to be here, so the café is reserved for you all for the entirely of today." A female voice said.

Everyone turned to where the voice came from and they saw a woman walking down a flight of stairs.

But to everyone's surprise, especially the student council was that the person was another version of their Kaichou, but with a more developed body and longer hair.

"WHAT?!"

"EEEHHH?!"

"KAICHOU?!"

"THERE'S TWO OF THEM?!"

The student council had varied responses but all expressed the same reaction, seeing two Sonas in the same place. The ORC also had surprised faces but were more curious on why she is here.

"Why are you here?!" Rias asked first after recovering from the shock fast.

"Well, this is where I work and live in." Sona simply answered.

"Okay…but still" Rias said but got interrupted by someone.

"It's alright, we worked behind the scenes in the café so no one's ever seen us in the open. And even if we did, the place is covered with multiple barriers that help mask our identities."

A male voice said as the sound of footsteps was heard walking down the stairs, which turns out to be Issei.

"Issei?" Rias asked.

"You're here as well, Hyoudou?" Hanakai asked.

"Anyway, I believe we are all here Hyoudou-san." P-Sona said.

"Yup, anyway, I believe we are here to have a meeting so everyone just a seat around here." Issei said as he moved towards the counter.

With that, Issei turned on the barista machine as it came to life and started to brew coffee. That got perplexed faces on almost everyone present as they thought, 'He knows how to brew coffee?'

"Hyoudou-san…can you make tea for most of us?"

"Sona?!" Rias was surprised that P-Sona was the one who asked him which was really making the student council president act out of character.

"No problem, and if you guys want any other drinks you can order one from the menu." Issei said as he pointed to the menu sign.

Both the ORC and the student council were rather unsure about his bartending skills, so most of them also ordered tea. His counterpart wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt so he ordered a vanilla latte. Rias and Akeno were also curious so they ordered a green tea latte and caramel macciato.

After a few minutes, Issei finished making the drinks for everyone, just as a loud voice was heard.

"And I already said I've gotten more kills than you!"

"Sure you did, probably cheated in getting more kills."

"Maybe that's because my side had more of them than you, bitch!"

Issei could only sigh as members of his peerage arrived downstairs, including the two who are arguing.

"Are those two still at it?" Sona had to ask.

"Yup, at this point we're just used to their bickering." Ecchan said.

"Well, tell them to shut up already, we're about to have a meeting with the people present." Issei said as he served the drinks.

Noelle helped served the drinks to everyone, some of them already went to sip their tea and were surprised at the taste of it.

"Wow…this is very nice." Kusaka said.

"It's quite fragrant as well." Tsubaki said.

"I knew my counterpart could do it." P-Issei said, all the while looking at the new girls that he hasn't seen before with a perverted grin.

"Okay, first things first, introductions are in order." Issei said as he said next to his wife. "From left to right: Asta, Noelle Silva, Stella Vermillion, Ikki Kurogane, Tomoe Gozen, Ecchan, Esdeath and Nagumo Hajime."

Everyone mentioned simply raised a hand or simple gesture to identify them. While the ORC and the student council were introduced, Azazel wanted to ask something.

"I'm not very familiar with all of your names except for one of you. Tomoe-san, aren't you the wife of Minamoto no Yoshinaka?"

"The very same." Tomoe said.

"Wait, then how is someone from history doing here, let along in a peerage?" P-Sona asked. Tomoe sighed as she replied. "That's a long story."

"So, these are all members of your peerage Issei?" Rias asked, to which he simply nodded his head.

"EEEHHH?!" A loud exclaim which came from his counterpart. "What's with that reaction?" Issei asked.

"Why do you have guys in your peerage?! You're supposed to have an all female harem peerage!" His counterpart exclaimed while pointing at him.

"Uh, why should I?" Issei asked innocently.

"Because you're supposed to have a harem peerage like every male's dream!" His counterpart was practically crying tears in disbelief that his alternate self didn't had the same dream as you.

"I ain't a pervert like you, also some of my peerage members are actually couples with each other for your information." Issei said.

"But you still have a harem of your own." Sona said.

"See, I knew you have a harem! Wait…how do you know about it Kaichou?" His counterpart asked.

Sona crossed her arms and legs as a smirk appeared on her face. "Because I am the head of his harem…Issei-kun."

That got P-Sona to actually do a spit take and P-Issei's jaws hit the floor from the shock. Everyone were shocked at Sona's reply and actions, even Azazel cracked a laugh from the unexpected response.

Issei had to chuckle from this. "Must you really say that? I think you've broken them."

"Why not? It's fun to mess with them like this." Sona shrugged.

"Wu-w-What?" Rias was stuttering from the bold statement Sona said.

"What are you saying, alternate me?!" Her counterpart exclaimed with her face going beet red from embarrassment.

"Yeah! Why are you calling my Ise Issei-kun?!" Rias exclaimed.

Issei on the other hand was sighing, but he was smiling internally. As much as he likes to see more of their reactions, there are more important things to talk about.

He clapped his hands to get everyone's attention. "Okay, that's enough everyone. Let's just get started with our meeting."

The next chapter is finally out! This took a very long time for me to update.

The main reason now is that I'm now very busy with my work that I can't find the time to write, so any updates to any story takes a very long time.

Not to mention I'm beginning to hit a writer's block, so unfortunately I'm going to go on a hiatus until I find the time and inspiration again to write again. If there's going to be any new updates, I'm sorry to say that it's going to be a long while before I update it.

Anyway, do leave me a review so that I know how is it I can improve on the story.

With that, thank you for reading!
