Ch 6: "Reinforcements"
After Myu executed the two men, she told Rio to get the Helicopter ready to take off. Since they were supposed to be at the "Airport" where they were going to get koneko delivered to them before they were supposed to head towards international waters before they handed her over to Kuroka. Also where they were supposed to meet their team leader.
While that was going on Issei and Kiba went into the "building" to find koneko. After they did a "job" for Myu.
They were free to do what they were set to do.
Now in the "Entertainment" section of the building, we find Issei and Kiba's mission target. In a room filled with any thing a teen her age wants, is koneko sitting on a comfy chair watching T.V. she is free of course however as to why she hasn't escaped yet well that has to do room being reinforced adamantium that seals away strength. As to why she knows well that's because her sister kuroka has been coming to see her every now and then. She remembers when she first awoke from her "sleep".
Flash back to 3 weeks ago.
When she awoke she got up pretty quickly from the bed she was in. But she still felt a little sluggish since the drug she took still had lingering effects. As soon that she remembered what happened to her, her eyes went wide and then she looked around the room again and found the door to exit the room. So she dashed to it and tried to open it but it was locked. So she decided to try and punch it to force it open but…..
Koneko:{why didn't fly open?}
She kept punching and punching over and over again so much so that the whole room shock. But even then, the door didn't fall. Since that wasn't working she decided to use her nekomata powers instead.
So she took distance from it and she transformed, she had cat ears and a tail now all matching her hair color. So she sent out 10 blue flames that each can deal damage to hurt the legendary mythical beast Fenrir. However…
Koneko:{what!? My flames that can harm Loki's son has been defused?}
It couldn't be helped that she thought that. What really happened was that her flames were too weak to even damage it. Her fist at this point were better option. As to why well a voice speak up as to explain.
Kuroka: [it no use sister, the room you are in has been modified so that your attacks lose strength before it reaches the target. Honestly what an nasty comtraption.]
Koneko:[ Kuroka,why are you here! Where is Xenovia!]
As soon as her sister appeared, she knew full well what was going on with the little girl named myu. She was the enemy and that in some way she is cahoots with the khaos brigade. Hence she didn't ask where she is at the moment. But there is one thing for sure that she had to say to her sister.
Koneko:[ is this what the khaos brigade doe now, recruit little kids to join you, man just when i thought that the khaos brigade was somewhat good people. Thanks for proving me wrong.]
Kuroka:[ to answer as to why I'm here well i just wanted to see my sister. A devil serving in the Gremory family be done by a human so easily.
As to the second question, she is currently in the hospital at the moment being treated for her injuries she from what I heard the human who did you. gave her the same thing.
So she was hurt by human weaponry. Now then my sister after all i said, my dear sister you think that is a kid?]
Koneko:[ no… who is she? You owe me that much]
Kuroka:[ The thing is we don't know. She is a mystery along with the two others she had with her. One thing i know for sure is that those three are powerful.]
Koneko:[ was one of them that was with had the same hair color as her?]
Kuroka:[no, rather there's another one? This day just keeps getting better isn't. She says with a sigh][it was nice talking to you again Koneko,since from now on we will be together from now on. I suggest that you start playing nice with me. Since only my team that I'm apart of and that brat knows you are staying here before we move you to a secure location.]
Koneko:[you can go to hell! Very soon Rias and the others will show up and you'll be sorry. In fact, let's make a bet between you and me.]
Kuroka:[hou... that's intriguing. Fine I'll humor you. So what's the bet?]
Koneko[ the time limit will be the date when I'm shipped off. Should Rias and the others come for me you'll turn yourself in. If they don't show up which they won't by the way, I'll return by your side willingly,how does that sound for a bet?]
Kuroka:[ I'll take that bet,your on my sister. She says before she turns her back to the door before leaves.]
Flashback ends
Today was the date for her to make good on her bet. She had hoped that Rias would come to save her. However after these weeks in this room hoping for her friends to come get her she started to have doubts about if they would come for her.
However as to interrupt her thoughts she senses a presence that is very familiar. She hits her lip in resignation and looks towards the door. There she sees her sister with a smug look on her face.
Kuroka:[ times up. Bets a bet isn't my dear sister. Now I am not naive enough to take your word for it so you will prove me that you will come willingly. As she says so she lifts her hand and makes a gesture as if to knell.]
Koneko at this point looks like she swallowed a bitter but. However she complies and kneels before her sister.
Kuroka:[ good…now put this necklace on you and repeat after me, I as a fellow nekomata hereby pledge to serve my sister a nekomata herself kuroka in whatever shape or form she desires of me and follow whatever order she gives me until she says otherwise by saying this phrase." I am and forever be free in every shape or form and that no evil will reign".]
She takes the necklace and puts it on her. She tells power in it a dreadfully power of unlike any other but before she says the plague so that just for a few more seconds she hopes for her dear friends to save her.
Koneko:[ what is this necklace sister, and why do I have to wear it?]
Kuroka:[ nice try at stalling time but, I won't tell you until you put that on around your neck.]
As firm replay leaving no room for discussion. Even so she gets a bad feeling that, should she put the necklace on, something horrible will happen to her.
Even still she doesn't have a choice. She made a bet thinking that her friends would save her. After ten minutes pass by where she tries thinking a way out of this situation, However her sister even has her limits of being patient.
Kuroka:[ even I have limits my sister, Arthur! Get in here.]
As she called he stepped out from the shadows with a blade koneko knows very well.
Arthur:[ are sure you what me to use this blade on your sister? She will just be a doll at that point you know. like with fenrir.]
Koneko notices the blade which made Loki's son join their side. So she knows what that means for her.
Kuroka:[if she doesn't honor the bet we made then I will have no choice but to have you use that blade on her. As she said this she turned to koneko and tells her with body language. Either put on the necklace or I'll tell my teammate to use that blade on you which will make you an obedient slave. Now choose.]
She didn't have a choice at that point. While she didn't know what the necklace does,at least she knows that she doesn't want to be a slave puppet with no will of its own.
So she puts the necklace on which by the way has silver chain with an emerald jewel in the middle with some crest she didn't know about engraved in the jewel. And so repeated the oath.
Koneko:[ I Shirone toujou also known as Koneko toujou as a fellow nekomata,hereby pledge myself to my sister kuroka who is also a nekomata,serve her in any shape or form she desires of me and any order she gives until she says this phrase."I am and free in any shape or form and that no evil will reign.]
As soon as she said that she felt as if something has just grabbed on her very soul and has a weapon pointed at it.
So she falls to the ground on all fours and starts breaking into a cold sweat. She still has the courage to ask about what that was just know.
Koneko:[ what did you do to me. She asks in a frail voice.]
Kuroka:[ from what i got from the information that brat gave me, the necklace you have around your neck, has a magic that's really powerful imbued within it. Should you decide to remove the necklace you will die since the oath has bound your soul. Should you break the oath in any way you will also die. While you are free to do as you wish as long as you obey my every command from now on you will live.]
What her first thought when she heard the explanation was {that has to be a lie}. However if there is one thing she knew it was that her sister was one never one to lie to her. So after a few minutes she looks to her sister and asks her.
Koneko:[so should you die will the oath that binds me disappear. She says with a cold voice]
Kuroka:[ you would think that wouldn't you, while you would be correct in assuming so, however should i be about to be killed or die in some way I could make my final command to you saying from here on you will listen to what valli days from now own. She grins at that last part. So in reality even if i die you will still be bound by final order.]
Koneko:[ That would be like you wouldn't it. Leaving me with no means of escape. Just know that should you give me an order to kill me friends or issei for that matter, I will personally with no hesitation remove this necklace from my neck. She says with firm determination in her words.]
To be frank, she was impressed, even with her sister in this state, she will fight back against her to the bitter end. Even throwing away her life for her friends is amiable. She likes this part from her sister. So she smiles at that and asks her a question she knows the answer to.
Kuroka:[really, so you'll hurt your friends or fight them if i gave you the order to do so. She says as if trying to get her riled up.]
Koneko:[ unlike killing them, hurting them or fighting them gives me time to explain why im doing this,also they probably tell me not to take off the necklace saying they can probably remove the curse saying that i would rather take off the necklace then hurt of fight them. She says with happiness and sadness mixed in with her explanation why.]
Kuroka:[ they are lucky to have you among them koneko. She says with warmth and feeling of pride in her voice. Most people if not all will rather preserve they're life by any means than dying in your shoes at this point. I am proud to have you as my sister.]
At this koneko is shocked to hear such praise given to her from her sister. So she similes for a bit before someone ends up running to them. It's one of the guards protecting his place.
Guard:[ sorry to intrude lady kuroka, lord arthur but we have a situation at the moment. He says with a flustered voice.]
Arthur:[ what's the problem?]
Guard:[ sir it seems we are under attack sir]
Kuroka:[ do you know who it is attacking this place?]
Guard:[ it seems we are currently being attacked by to individuals with Assault rifles sir. They are breezing through the entire buildings securities forces. Floor by floor they are killing us like pigs to a slaughter sir.]
From what the guard said it looks like they are making their way to the entertainment section since the gunfire is now audible from here.
{Gunfire noises insert here}
Arthur and kuroka look at each other and then to koneko. Who ever they are was not their concern should. So they decided to wait for they're guests and test something out. It seems they want to see if koneko will follow what kuroka says.
It has been 5 minutes since then and finally the door to where they are at is knock down a man pushed against it. As the man tries to get up but then man in the uniform doesn't let him since he drew out his pistol to the mans head and pulled the trigger.
{phew} as the sound of the gunshot resounded both Kuroka and koneko picked up very familiar scents form the two individuals. They were both shocked since the scents these belong to Kiba and issei respectively, and now they just witnessed issei killing a man in front of him with no hesitation.
They soon saw him get up in very smooth motion. And three koneko met with issei's eyes. She saw a very cold and no warmth coming from those eyes. However she saw them only change for an instant since she saw them open up wide for an instant with slight regret within them before they returned to how it was.
The one that spoke up first since he saw koneko and two khaos brigade members.
Kiba: [hey rogue our target is in front of us along with khaos brigade members. I have already contacted rias saying we found her but,not about they're being members of khaos brigade. What do we do?]
Issei:[ you can stop calling that now kiba after all her sister is there she knows who we are. For now let's take a wait and see approach, after all the koneko wouldn't still be over there if she can tell that it is her friends under these uniform. As he says this he takes of the mask to revel. his face. Kiba does the same also revealing his face however he is till talking while he does it.]
Kiba:[ true that is odd. Hey koneko why don't you come over already we will cover you he says pointing the rifle at kuroka while issei points it at arthur.]
Koneko is shocked at how much both of her friends change. How the one she fell for is covered in the scent of iron. She unexpectedly takes a step back but she catches herself. However that was noticed by the two.
Issei:[koneko i will ask you only once, come over here. I may seem different now however i am the same issei you know. He says with sincerity in his voice.]
As she hears him. She stops being frightened. And she closes her eyes for a moment before she opens them again with a smile on her face and tears staighling down her cheeks. However as if that a reunion was going to be this easily that easy. Soon kuroka breaks outta it and in a hurry she says these worlds.
Kuroka:[ shirone i command you attack the two in front of us.]
She couldn't believe the words she heard. All the while both issei and kiba were stumped why would she attack them. She is they're friend and comrade. However as if to betray that expiation koneko rushes them in an instant and is in front of them, both of them unexpexting this at all weren't able to react in time. And so they received koneko's punches with no resistance to the stomach.
However they heard her say these words before they were both sent flying through the building ultimately breaking through concrete walls and eventually break out through the last wall which takes them outside in the open air and they begin to free freefall but not before they Koneko drop to her knees crying and her sister with a grin on her face.
As both issei and kiba disappear from all three of these sights. Koneko gets up and moves in to try and hit kuroka but she is stopped by arthur with a blade and in their wake the forces of there exchange makes the footing on their feet collapse inwards with both sides flipping off the broken footing falling down to have enough distance from each other that should anyone make a move on the other will be the last thing they do.
At this point Kuroka knows that she made a mistake a huge one. The eyes on her sister looking at her are filled with distance and hatred that will probably kill if it could. They stay there for a good minute before koneko speaks up with hatred in her voice along with rage.
Koneko:[ why?]
It didn't take much to figure what that meant?
She had to pick her words carefully now. Cause she knows for a fact that her sister will take her own life her and now.
Kuroka:[why is it? Well that is because i didn't make a calm judgment at the time. I panicked and in a hurry I commanded you to attack them. She just told the truth since bluffing will probably make her even more enraged and in her state as if to spite her she would take off the necklace.] and it that moment all three of the look up to the opening in the sky where multiple figures touchdown around them with weapons drawn.
Scene changes to the moment Issei and kiba are free falling down the building which was 6 stories tall. They fell from the 5th store and in 20 seconds they'll hit the floor. Now if they were like themselves 3 weeks ago they would be panicking however they have a more calm and composed matter.
both of them with all they're might try to fight the pain they feel at the moment and push it behind their minds and both make their bodies flip to the side where the air hits their face and stretch out their arms and legs so that they can deploy they're wing suit and they begin to glide out of the area into the docks and land behind some warehouses.
As soon as they make they're landing the fall to their knees and bend over in pain and agony. They grunt in pain and fall to their side while holding her stomach. From what they can tell they have internal bleeding some cracked ribs. For i minute they grunt in pain before the talisman glows and a magic circle forms in there line of sight, before long the rest of the group appears.
Rias and their others when they arrive they see both issei and kiba on the ground covered in patches of blood on their uniforms. They soon quickly rush to their side. Asia cast healing on them all the while Irina and Rossweisse keep a lookout,while akeno and rias along with jasper move towards. Some else is also with them. And so he speaks up.
Azazel: so issei,kiba where is koneko you said you found her but i don't see her. He says looking at the young devils.
They both sit up grunting in pain which cause asia to worry.
Kiba is the one to speak up first.
Kiba:[ she is in that building on the fifth floor. He says pointing to the far off building.]
All of them look over across the river to the building where it has a hole on that side of the building. And so they were about to ask when
Kiba:[ you ask why we didn't bring her with us yes?]
Azazel:[ yes actually, why i know you guys are good friends and comrades in arms. However there must be a good reason for you guys to leave her there while you are good 5 miles away from the location.]
He says looking over when they all see the building falls down one floor while derie falls to ground below probably hitting the officers that should up. It also seems the same JSDF patrol helis came to see what was going on. That's when Rias speaks up.
Rias: [we have to go save her, her life might be threatened if that buildings damage is to go by.]
Everyone around her also thinks that as well, they can discuss why both of them didn't come back with koneko. So she gives out instruction to her teammates.
Rias:[The vanguard will be Irina,Kiba and issei, azazel will be our strike team,while myself, Akeno,Asia,Jasper and Rossweisse will bring up the rear. We will go with this formation are we in agreement she asks the group.]
Everyone else:[none at all!] they respond with a shout of vigor.
While both issei and kiba yelled as we they both knew that they had to fight koneko as an enemy. However they didn't tell them since it was much easier to see than believing. So they will let their leaders decide what to do.
However one person grew suspicious of them since he knew that Issei and Kiba wouldn't leave a friend like koneko or in issei's case a harem member. However, he had one idea that came to mind but hopefully he was wrong since if that was the case they would be faces an uphill battle for them. While he would be fine the others would have a hard time and he believes that both issei and kiba have already made their choice if he is right about it.
Before they go she grants issei to promote himself which he happily does so.
Issei: [promotion ...to queen.]
In a flash of light issei transforms into his scale mail right off the bat however his armor color has a darker hue to it. Almost menacing in a way.
Issei:{lets go draig}
Draig:{as you wish partner}
And so the remaining others take out there boosted gears out and they all fly towards the building where Koneko was. While this conversions and prepping was going on they weren't the only ones who were in a rush to save their comrades. And a familiar looking helicopter almost reaching their destination.
Scene changes.
In a familiar looking helicopter is flying at top speed back to wear they started off. And our familiar crew weren't the only ones in the helicopter this time there were others.
Through the monitores in the helicopter they display and hear what issei and the other are planning.
Rio: it looks like we won't have it easily this time, by the looks of it kuroka and arthur will end up being captured even with koneko on they're side. He says as he puts on his mithril chainmail and equips his katana to his side.
Mile: no kidding what's the plan leader she says as she transformed into her adventuring gear and slides her sword to her side looking at myu.
Myu:[ unfortunately i don't have to order you around or rather when did i became your guys is leader huh nano? She made a tsukkomi][ what's your call vali she says as she transoms into her gear which has to gun belts with jewels in them. A whip on her lower back. Her two guns on both her right and left leg. A warhammer slung across her back. And two kodachis both in her right and left hands.]
Vali steps out into the cargo bay of the helicopter already in his vanishing dragon armor.
Vali:[ well since the governor general is going to be in the fight i guess we better suffer some casualties along with the red dragon emperor. You guys pick your targets you want to go up against. I'll go after issei since we still haven't had a real fight yet in quite a while.]
Bikou: [well then i guess i'll go after the general since he is the second strongest there.]
Le fay pendragon: [then i'll go after Akeno since she'll be a problem is she isn't taken out.]
Mile:[ Then I'll go after irina since she looks like the weakest of the gruop ill finish her off should it come to a fight. I should be able to support you guys with my magic afterwards.]
Rio:[ ill take jasper then since he looks like the most dangerous threat with his time stopping ability. I'll make sure he doesn't get use it]
Myu:[ then i guess i'll take rias then we are in agreement. Oh it's stuff like this is why you guys think im your says looking far away.]
as she says the bay doors open up for them to fly out of. On that exact time issei's group is about to reach koneko location i 50 seconds.
Vali:[ let's move out he says as he stretches out his wings as he jumps out of the helicopter fly sight down towards kuroka location.]
As soon as he said that every jumped out the helicopter and deployed there means of fly and as if the helicopter was never there it disappears in a as if it was a phantom. And they all fly at their top speeds to reach where arthur and kuroka is at.
Scene changes back in the fourth floor of the building where Koneko's group notice strong power converging on there positions issei's group is the first one to touch down around koneko potions covering her. And not a second later vali's group joins in covering arthur and kuroka.
Issei's group was dumbfounded because there were three members in valli's group that weren't supposed to be three.
Rias: why are you two there Myu! Mile!
Rossweisse: Amawaka san please tell me your aren't on their side.
As the two of them said standing against them with valis team are the two girls that issei brought home for protection wand lost contact with them on that same day and the transfer student.
Myu/mile: nice to see you guys again rias onee-chan and issei onii-san and everyone else i hope you go easy on us. They both said in unison
Rio: hello sensei, i'm sorry we could meet out like this in better circumstances he says to her in a sorry voice. Well then issei kiba i warned you didn't i?
At this everybody looks towards kiba and issei as if they couldn't believe what they are hearing only both issei and kiba have these blades drawn and ready to pounce. And as if saying you shouldn't look away from your opponent.[gunshot echoes throughout the silence] and in the next moment jasper falls to the ground bleeding from his chest and head.
Myu: my papa once said, use any means necessary if it means victory. Be good little vampire and stay down as she said this she moved her muzzle to asia and pulls the trigger however the bullets were cut into two by azazel. And asia falls to the ground two more shots are fired and they get cut again.
Azazel: my looks like a girl needs to be punished. He says with a grin as he reshes magical power.
Myu: ojisan don't ruin my fun nano she says with a grin as she relies enough killing intent to full up the entire floor and those with weak minds fall fibre to the ground that being koneko,kuroka,and asia. While all the others just front through it except for vali,mile,rio,azazel,issei,and kiba. They all raise their raise they're weapons at each other and they're magical power to the highest it can go but not so much that they destroy the building in the process.
Myu/azazel/vali/issei/kiba/Rio/mile:[ so… they all said at the same time. Let us begin] as soon as they said that all six of them vanished from sight in an instant only for you hear sonic booms and explosions and loud sounds if blades clashing with each other.
To be cotinued…
Hope you guys enjoy this up so far. I will end up reading and gathering information on all the magics and techniques these charters use as well as how far the dxd light novels is at since i am only basing this off the anime of DxD. so wish me luck making the next chapter a good long fighting chapter.
