Aika and Motohama woke up like they usually did, they did their morning routine and got ready for school, they wanted to dismiss what had happened as nothing more than a dream or a nightmare, but they couldn't because of the ring they both wore on their right fingers.
The ring was the shape of a red teardrop or maybe it was a red drop of blood, that had the wings of an angel on its side.
Neither of their parents mentioned anything about the two men they had met the day before and as the day went by nothing seemed out of the ordinary, that is until they got to school.
The day had started like it normally did, they said good morning to their friends and did the boring work their teachers gave them, had the day kept on going like that neither of them would have thought anything strange was going on.
then they saw them, Aika for her part was walking to class when she saw the student council walk past her, it was then that she saw that all of them had bat-like wings, but that wasn't the only thing she could see.
Right next to every member of the Student Council were the words devil following next to them.
Aika just stared at the girls walking past her, luckily for her the student council's beauty was nearly unnatural so she wasn't the only one that was staring at the time.
Motohama found himself staring at someone in the distance, he had been peeking at the girl's change in the locker room along with his friends, the three of them had been forced to run when they were caught and they were soon laughing together.
Motohama stopped laughing when the Occult Research Club passed them by and he saw their leather black wings, and next to them were the words devil floating in the air.
Thye tried to ignore what they saw and pass the rest of the day, and it worked so for the next two days they went on with their lives and stayed clear of the two groups of devils in their school
It would all have stayed perfectly normal except Issei began to tell them about a girl he had met and how he was bout to go on his first date, Motohama had to admit he was jealous of his friend so he and a group of their friends gave Issei a hard time, but still wished him good luck.
Aika for her part was interested in the kind of girl that would even give Issei a chance, the two of them felt their blood drain from their faces when they saw that the black-haired girl had back crow-like wings coming from her back and next to her were the words Fallen Angel floating in the air.
The two of them followed Issei and his date and for the most part, it was normal, that is until the date ended.
"Will you die for me?" Raynare the Fallen Angel said to Issei
motohama was about to run out of the bushes he was using to hid in, but he felt Aika's hand hold him back, then he saw the black-haired woman tear her clothes off and grow the wings he was always capable of seeing, but they looked real now.
If Motohama had to compare what he had seen before to what he was seeing now, he would say it looked like when one looks at something in a picture and seeing the same thing in real life.
Motohama tried to get loose from Aika's grip but he stopped when he was the look of horror in her eyes, Aika's eyes were wide and it looked as if Aika was frozen in fear.
Motohama watched as Issei dodged a spear made of light that the woman created, but it had taken everything Issei had just to dodge the first attack and so he was now on the ground, Motohama watched as his friend had his chest pierced by the light spear.
then he watched as a red magic circle formed next to Issei and Rias Gremory, the leader of the occult research club came out of it.
He watched as the two women talked to each other, but he couldn't hear what they were saying, so he watched as the fallen angel flew away without putting up a fight.
He watched as the red-haired devil walked up to Issei and take out something red and begin to put it inside his friend's corpse, Motohama wanted to scream for her to leave his friend alone but the devil just continued putting those things inside him.
In an act of desperation, Motohama did the one thing he knew would distract the woman long enough for the two men he had met a few days earlier to arrive and help them, or at least he hoped they would.
Motohama took off his ring.
the feeling of magic and soul's energy flooded the air instantly catching Rias Gremery's attention, at the same time both Max and Mark felt that one of the two teens was in danger and so they teleported to his side.
Ris moved her hand slowly and made the bushes Motohama and Aka were using to hide behind burn away, and the two of them found themselves completely exposed to the devil woman.
Rias for her part was confused, on one side the level of power she was sensing was enormous, but it felt untamed and from what she could see, the two people in front of her were terrified of her, yet one of them had enough power to hurt her.
The next thing she noticed was the pair's clothes, they wore the same uniform she did, meaning that they went to her high school.
Rias gave the two a soft smile, she had already placed all eight evil pieces into her new pawn so it was just a matter of time until he revived.
Now she just had to convince the two humans in front of her that she wasn't a threat.
She gave two steps and watched as the pair flinched in fear, she continued to walk towards them when she felt the presence of something or someone behind her.
She noticed the look of relief in the two teen eyes and she barely managed to avoid the sword flying towards her.
"Mx get them out of here" Mark ordered Max who was suddenly behind both Aika and Motorama
Rias watched as the mage graved the pair of humans and vanished from sight, she was somehow unable to sense where they went.
"I see that your kind has another human, tell me did you make him into another of your slaves?" Mark asked Rias
"I didn't kill him," Rias said to Mark her voice carried both her denial of the act and her anger at the man's accusation that she would even force someone under her control.
"Did he chose to be turned into what you just did to him?" Mark asked Rias who stayed quiet, it was true that Issei had summoned her, but he hadn't accepted being turned into a devil, so she had forced it on to him.
"Leave those under our protection alone and we Blood Angels will not attack you, attack them ever again and we are going to have a problem," Mark said to Rias as a gold portal teleported him away
Rias watched as the image vanished, and she had to admit she was curious as she saw the swords he had fired at her, turn to dust and leaving no trace that they had ever been there.
Aika received the warm cup of water from Max and she took a small sip as she tried to calm herself, the memories of the thing biting her had returned and she found herself unable to move when she saw issei die in front of her.
Motohama didn't say anything he was just waiting for Mark to come back, yet when he saw that Mark had come back empty-handed, he couldn't help but ask why?
"Your friend was killed, and the woman you saw had begun to turn him into one of her kind"
"If I interrupted the processes who knows what could happen to him, but now it's up to him if he wants to stay a devil, Max and I can make him human again but only after he revives" Mark answered Motohama who immediately placed his back on the wall and lowered himself to the floor.
"We gave you guys a choice, unfortunately, that devil now knows that you two have a lot of power"
"It doesn't know that your owers are only temporary, meaning the two of you are targets, maybe not for her but others like her," Max said to the two teens in front of him.
"We offered the two of you a chance o be train by us, that offer is gone and now we're telling you that we will train you" Mark added
"During the day the two of you will live your lives, but at night the two of you will train here, your mission will be to make it to the end"
"Your opponents will be some of the greatest heroes and villains from different worlds," Max said to the two as the world behind him turned from one battlefield to another, and then the forms of men and women manifested themselves behind him.
