"Hey Issei?" he tilts his head "YEA!?" He responds letting his anger show through "Lets give him a fight for his life huh?" I can tell he savagely grins under his Helmet. "Lets!"
Issei shoot off towards Vali as I put forth my left hand, make another magic circle, and fire bolts of lighting at Vali
[DIVIDE!] [DIVIDE!] [DIVIDE!]
OH FOR...Already dividing my attacks. Shit. Vali doesn't to attack me back however as Issei goes on his own assault attempt to...? "ASCALON!"
[BLADE!]
What...he has a holy blade now?! When did?!...Micheal. huu of course he did. Well no matter lets stop talking and get into the thick of it. After another magic cirlce and a small prayer I [Rapidly] and fire off towards the sky and the now engaged dragons.
Coming up behind Vali who is avoiding the rather pitiful attempts to slash at him. I move to the side and as Vali moves to get back from another attack "[DESTRUCTION]" I swing Excalibur from left to right in front of me sending out a massive wave smacking into Vali and sending him back with a grunt and cracking his armor. Issei turns to look at me
"When did?"
I chuckle "Scaling. And actually being a Devil doesn't help Vali's case. hahahha... You take left I go right" I finish with a command as Vali recovers. [Nightmare] Multiple different entities of me and Issei appear to Vali as me and Issei race towards him while he is distracted. I can't shut out his senses, I am still not that powerful yet to do that from afar, but I sure as hell can mess with them. Between me and Issei's constant strikes and Vali not knowing where or when the REAL us will strike he eventually will get taken down or tired of our shit. A punch to his left, a slash from the right from me almost cleaving a limb off, a close slash to the chest from Issei, a hit from me close to the leg but no cigar yet, avoid return hits, and re-position for another attempt while the Nightmares distract him. This is the flow for a minute before he starts doing the same attack as before with the Magicians, he charges up and fires it off. A shot for everything entity close to him including me and Issei shoots out of his hand and towards us. All the shots at the fakes go right through for him confirming what is and isn't real and he spots the real Issei tanking the hit while I have to throw up my Scabbard shield...going have to explain that later I am sure. Vali picks Issei and charges but unluckily for him Issei is not really the weak one here, It would be me unfortunately, but also Issei has a cunning plan.
As they brawl and I close in Issei rears back, I feel a lot of holy/something else? energy coming from his fist, and plants his fist into Vali's abdomen before sending him straight toward the ground. His armor shattered to pieces. Wow. Kid apparently has a hit a mean hook. I race down beside him and...*SHOON* yep the armors back. Ok this obviously isn't working. I can't get close alone because he could divide me into nothing and unlike Issei I can't just boost my way out.
As I muse on what exactly I should do I see Issei bend down and pick up a blue jewel...the same type of Jewel on Vali's armor...what is he doing? "HEY VALI? HOW ABOUT THIS FOR A NORMAL GUY" He shouts out. Man he must have taken some offence to that. Light envelops his right hand and he start to grunt and suppress a yell. What is he doing? Oh you have got to be kidding right now what? He just... Merlin never gets it out [VANISHING DRAGON POWER IS TAKEN!].. He has a white gauntlet now with the same blue jewel...WHAT.
[IMPOSSIBLE THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE. TO DO SO SUCH A THING. MOST DEMONS USUALLY LIVE FOREVER BUT NOW YOU WILL NOT BE ONE OF THEM] WWWHHHAAATTT!? ISSEI WHAT DID YOU DO?!
Not getting much answers Vali shoots up and decides to to try is luck with [HALF DIMENSION!] Things around me and Issei start to shift and shrink and I can feel we will in a moment as well so...
"[RULER!]" I thrust Excalibur forward and not only does nothing happen to us but I cancel out his little attempt to get rid of us. Thank the lord above me, Xenovia, and Merlin practiced with it. Vali looks down at his hand and back to me in specific.
"You canceled out my abilities? I thought Arthur said it would only work on organic material?" Arthur? wha- Questions for later "
Yea well there is a lot more to me than meets the eye." I say back to him as he lowers himself to the ground again. Now what.
"I think they are worth it" Wha-
"I, who am about to awaken"
OH FUCK THAT IS THE DRIVE CHANT THAT MERLIN TOLD ME ABOUT. [WAS THIS YOU PLAN VALI! TO GO CRAZY ON MY POWER!?] Huh? does Albion not want this? Before even getting another idea out something smashes through the barrier above and right in between us three.
"Hey Vali, come on now. There is some movement in.." Why do I think I know this guy? Why is he familiar to me? Apparently he had the same thought as he is actually staring at me. "Oh never thought I would see any of your kind outside of the English Isles. Interesting. I am even having a hard time determining you are even standing there if I wasn't using my eye's." What? "Later though it is time for us to go. Bye all!" He says before smacking his pole to the ground "Red Dragon and Wielder of Excalibur get stronger for me would you? Because I will beat you next time if you don't" Yea something tells me that was fucking luck on our part and him not being used to me and my bullshit. We really need that practice.
"[DESTRCUTION]" I deck Issei with all my (Excalibur gloved hand) might throw the school buildings wall "YOU IDIOT! YOU USED YOUR OWN LIFE FORCE TO DO THAT?!" Yea I am not happy with that reckless non-sense and the girls "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!" and its variations are all they can get out between the sobbing.
"Bu-" He tries to say something
"NO BUTS! We got lucky this time! In case you couldn't tell we were more a game to him most of the time and he Just about could of killed both of us! I know [RULER] can do a lot but forcefully calming down a dragon with the original power of the Vanishing Dragon? I don't like my odds. AND YOU USING YOUR OWN LIFE FORCE FOR SOMETHING THAT PETTY IS RIDICULOUS!" Yea the Kingly look is kind of gone right now as I lay into him. He could killed himself doing that dumb shit! In my anger I can't tell Xenovia is near me until
"Zander calm down" She grabs me from behind, wraps her arms around me, puts her head to my shoulder, and whispers "You need to calm down everyone else is here not just you and me..."
I take a glance around and...yep the Leaders are still here. Huuu. She is right. I straighten me self and she helps me fix my suit...and she is still whispering things to me. Things that are making someone else hyper. Damn it Xenovia you calmed me down you don't need to make me Hor- Remember your promise? I think she is expecting after today to get what she wants. Especially after that little show and tell of you stating you two were almost going to be in for a fight for your lives. So get ready tomorrow is going to be fun for you.
I grab Xenovia and bring her to me "We will go tomorrow ok? Just let me finish up this meeting and use tonight to get ready" She looks up at me and gives me a smile and...licks her lips (oh fuck)...yeah I think I know how tomorrow is going to go (and I am not mad at it). I let go of her and turn to the leaders. "Yea I am done today lets just get most of this nonsense involving me over and done with so me and Xenovia can go home."
After finishing the meeting and waiting a couple hours two things happened. One. I got my papers for living in Japan since I have to stay here and I can tell my family why I was here for so long (I found a well paying job, a nice place...,and a cute girl. huuu now I am getting impatient) as well as enough zeroes added to my back account that I don't think I will have have to work again. I am going to Kuoh still because I love history but still. Two. The church was refurbished to be more for living with the upstairs being transformed into a massive meeting and living room for when guests are over, the down stairs was expanded so that we now have a training room, a swimming pool, a massive bath, multiple guest rooms, I have a new master bedroom, a lab for me to research, do alchemy, and enchanting which are apparently lost arts now a days (Seriously the second Azazel found out about me being able to enchant and do real alchemy he offered to take me to Grigori to help my research. I will even have a steady supply of materials now thanks to the Governor but me telling everyone about Merlin and Excalibur becoming a Pseudo sacred gear meant the leaders had to grab him so he didn't just take me to Grigori right then and there), we now have a massive storage room, the seals around the base have been fortified by the LEADERS THEMSELVES (that was non-negotiable), and finally the outside was cleaned and expanded so we now have a porch and a nice yard. I am now satisfied with the leaders. but well. I didn't enjoy it much as me and the boys went to get some clothes for tomorrow and the girls take Xenovia.
I am standing at the entrance to the house (not really a church now) and she finally comes up the stairs. I turn to her and "Wow"
