Hey guys. Merciless Sun here with the next chapter of How To Stop A Devil Civil War! In the last chapter, Isaac and Rias found Ravel, who had discovered of a plot to invade the Gremory estate and kill Sirzechs. And once all the lieutenants and weaker soldiers were defeated, Asia had been captured by Raze, and the Fallen Angels, Kokabiel and Azazel came in. In this chapter, Isaac and Isabel will fight the Fallen Angels, and will try to stop Sirzechs from being killed. Enjoy!

-Front Courtyard of Gremory Manor, Isaac's POV-

Up above the Gremory manor are 2 Fallen Angels, Azazel and Kokabiel. Doesn't matter, they'll be dead soon enough! Isabel and I are running towards them as they were going towards the manor and destroyed the barrier Akeno and I made.

"Really!? We focused all our Magic into that!"

Kokabiel then said, "Foolish mortal. Your Magic was subpar at best, but it was interesting to see that type of Lightning Magic. It seems I found the spawn of Baraquiel."

Isabel and I then dashed in front of them, and I said, "I don't know who this Baraquiel guy is, but what I do know is that you won't step one foot inside this manor!"

Isabel said, "You take that guy Azazel, I got this jackass!"

We then split up, and I dashed with a punch square to Azazel's jaw! But he smiled, and said, "Nice power you got there, but it won't mean a thing here."

Shit.

-Shrine, Asia's POV-

I was sitting on the couch with Ravel, who was still sleeping, when Raze said, "Now I must leave to collect my prize, but do not worry. My guards will keep you company."

He then laughed maniacally while teleporting with an unconscious Koneko held up by her hair. I was left alone with 2 lustful looking men. They said, "Don't worry, we'll take care of you and Lady Ravel. HAHA!"

Just then, a flash of black came in front of me, and I saw a woman with a huge sword cut both of the guards' heads off! The woman turned around, and it was….. "Xenovia!"

I got off the couch, and hugged her. "How did you know I was here? And that I was in trouble?"

"Your companion Clark told us Devils were launching an attack in town, so we went to check it out." I then let her go.

"We?"

Irina then came down the stairs, and she said, "Asia, it's so good to see you!"

She then hugged me and said, "I'm glad we could save you before those Devils could take advantage of you. Where is your friend Isaac?"

"He left with Miss Rias, Akeno and Isabel, but they ran into trouble with the Devil that held me hostage."

"I see. We can't leave you here alone. Hmm…."

Irina said, "Go, Xenovia, I can protect her and this girl."

I said, "Thank you, I know he'll need help, even if he can be stubborn."

I then said, "Thank you, I'll teleport you there."

I then made a white Magic Circle with a cross in the center, and Xenovia got teleported.

-Isabel's Fight With Kokabiel, 5 Minutes Later, Isabel's POV-

Damn, this is bad. I was landing hits with the Fire variant of the Fist of the Peaceful Demon, but that ass Kokabiel is just grinning! "Just let me kill you!"

He chuckled, and said, "You are a mere mortal, and you cannot kill me. But you do look pleasing….Hehehe."

"You're not my type! Just die!" I then focused more Fire Magic and punched him straight in the chest! He coughed up a little blood, but then he smiled, and said, "All that for some blood...Pathetic!" He then smacked me with such force that I was sent back to Rias and Asia! He then rushed towards Isaac and that other guy, Azazel.

I was on the floor with some serious wounds, and Rias knelt down to me, and grabbed my hand. I painfully said, "Ri...Rias..I'm sorry, baby…."

Before I passed out, I saw that man, Raze appear with Koneko.

-Rias' POV-

I let go of Isabel's hand and told Raze, who just appeared with Koneko who was unconscious, and said, "All this to get me all to yourself? Are you happy?"

He grinned and replied, "You're wrong, my dear. I'm doing this to claim the Underworld as the Almighty Phoenix God, and I shall kill all who oppose my rule, including your filthy Human lover, even if he possesses the Phoenix my father imprisoned millennia ago."

I gritted my teeth, and yelled to Isaac, "YOU BETTER WIN! ISABEL IS DOWN FOR THE COUNT!"

Raze then smacked me, and said, "Silence, woman! You will belong to your new KING!"

-Isaac's Fight With Azazel, Isaac's POV-

I was getting toyed around with by Azazel, who kept flicking me in the forehead with each punch I landed on him, which wasn't doing a fucking thing! "Stop it!"

He said, "Then get serious! I know that isn't the true strength."

I said, "What are you-HAH!"

I then got punched in the gut by Kokabiel, who just rushed to me! "SHIT!" I then dropped to the ground.

Azazel said, "That was uncalled for."

"Oh, shut up. It's not like you're putting forth any effort."

"That's because unlike you, I have some compassion, and also want to see what that Rebirth Gear can do."

I slowly got up, and said into the earpiece, "Kal, I need a miracle."

"Then look behind you."

"Wha-OH YES!" I then saw Xenovia appear with a huge ass sword!

I said, "Thanks for coming, this guy is causing a little more trouble than I thought he would."

She said, "I promised Sister Asia that I would protect you."

I then smiled, but I then heard Rias yell to me and get smacked by Raze. "No….YOU MONSTER!"

Fire swirled around me, the Rebirth Gear glowed yellow, and Ariz shouted, "PHASE CHANGE! GOLDEN LEGEND!"

The gauntlets changed into solid red-and-gold armor on both my arms. I was shocked for a second, and grinned! "Your asses are mine!" I then rushed to Kokabiel, and started a punching barrage on him! "That'll teach to threaten my girlfriend's family! HA!" I then punched him back to Azazel, who then dropped him.

He smiled, and said, "Good job. I was wondering what that Rebirth Gear could do. And now I'm satisfied."

Xenovia pointed his sword to him, and said, "Then prepare to die happy!"

She and I then started to hit him with a whole lot of sword swings and punches, but he kept dodging, and said, "You'll have to try a lot harder, especially when you, Xenovia, have a part of the Legendary Excalibur."

She gritted her teeth, and started swinging angrily! He kept dodging, put his hand on her head, and she then passed out. "Wha…..What did you do!?"

"I just used some Magic. Don't be so angry. I understand that's how your power works, but if you ever relax, and communicate with that Phoenix, then your true power will shine!"

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because, to be honest, I don't care about this conflict because of one man's lust for power. Been there, done that. I've truly been captivated by Sacred Gears for centuries, and your Rebirth Gear is one I've never encountered before. Maybe I should look into that line of Sacred Gears."

"So you're not really here to fight?"

"No, I'm just here to see how powerful you can truly be. And if you're powerful enough to defeat Kokabiel, then I gotta give you some credit. He's killed hundreds of Devils, and that's too much. Well, I'm gonna throw this guy in prison. But hey, take this, and have a drink with me some time. I really want to learn more about your Rebirth Gear."

He handed me a card with an address and room number, then flew off with Kokabiel. I then picked up Xenovia, and ran to Rias. Once I got there, I said to Raze, "Just stop this. Your so-called 'back-up' got their asses handed to them, so you have no more aces up your sleeve."

He got angry, and said, "You think this is over, boy!? I am Immortal, and you will obey-"

Just then, the upper wall of the manor blew open! And out of the smoke came Sirzechs! He then flew over to us, and said, "You thought you could defeat me, the true Devil King? I shall take you in myself!"

Destruction Energy flowed all around us, and got focused into red-and-black chains that got put on Raze's neck, wrists and ankles. Raze dropped Koneko, and was taken by Sirzechs, and Sirzechs said, "Thank you for protecting me, everyone. I shall see you back in the Manor soon."

He then left, and I put Xenovia next to Isabel. I then passed out from exhaustion. The Rebirth Gear then vanished from my arms.

-Rias' POV-

I cried a few tears of joy as I looked down on Isaac passed out with a grin on his face. "Thank you, Isaac. Thank you for not listening to me, my Rebel Phoenix."

A few of my father's servants then picked up him, Koneko, Isabel, and Xenovia and took them into the Manor.

-Gremory Manor, 3 Hours Later, Isaac's POV-

Huh….Where...Oh, I must be in the Gremory Manor, but this room is unfamiliar. I feel like I'm laying on a comfortable pillow. I open up my eyes, and see Rias' face. She said, "Hello, handsome."

"Hey, babe. Where am I?"

"You are in my room at the estate, in fact, you're in my bed."

"Is that so? Good."

I get up, and sat up to get next to her, and make out with her. But when we start, I hear a knock, and when I look at the door, I see Sirzechs with Akeno behind him. "Good to know everyone is awake now."

I said, "Yeah. Good to know you're alive and well, Sirzechs. I'm sorry about Grayfia."

"As am I, she was an amazing wife. I shall ensure Raze is punished thoroughly for it. But now we must discuss what to do next."

"Like what? I figured with Raze out of the picture, this civil war would be over."

"You would be right, but I have a feeling those Fallen Angels didn't join just to dethrone me."

"It's funny, Isabel was saying the same thing, and after fighting Azazel, I think I'd agree. He said he was fighting me to test out my power, but why?"

"That is an intriguing question, and I'll have you to investigate it."

"I think I already found a good lead." I pulled out the card with Azazel's address. "After I rest up for a few days, I'm gonna have a good chat with Azazel."

Rias said, "Interesting start, but I'll have to chip in too. Tomorrow I'm going to release my Bishop."

I asked, "What do you mean?"

"My Bishop was a young and ambitious one, but too creative, and almost became too powerful for me to control."

I said, "Oh damn. I'll be there to help you then."

She smiled, and said, "Actually, I'd like to handle this one on my own."

"Oh, alright. I'll be training with Isabel."

"I'm going to take her with me. I feel she would be best suited for this job."

"Oh. Well, I'll still be with Asia and Ravel. I want to make sure she's safe."

"You're so sweet." She then kissed me on the cheek.

I got up, and said, "I think I'm rested enough. Ready to go home, everyone?"

I then heard Isabel say, "You ain't ditching me that quickly."

She came in with Xenovia and Koneko, and I said, "Looks like everyone is here. Good."

Sirzechs said, "Before you leave, my parents would like to properly thank you for your efforts to protect this family."

I said, "Oh. Awesome."

We headed downstairs, and saw Rias' father, I think the name was Zeoticus, and next to him was a woman with long brown hair, wearing a white dress, violet eyes, and big breasts. I think I know where Rias got the rest of her looks! Shit!

Zeoticus said, "Mister Fennis, I would like to thank you for protecting my children in our time of need."

I said, "It was nothing, Rias is a great woman, and I was glad to help her out, and protect Sirzechs when he was down for the count. And you can call me Isaac."

The woman next to him smiled and said, "Well, Isaac, as a token of our appreciation, I would like you to take this."

She then clapped her hands, and a medium sized box was brought to me by a servant. I picked it up, and SHIT! This has got to weigh about 20 pounds! I open the box, and…."Oh My Gods…"

Inside the box was a small silver Dragon, which was about the size of a big cat. I said, "Where did you get this?"

She said, "I have a few friends in the realm of Asgard who had a few too many Dragons."

"No way. Thank you so much, ma'am!"

She chuckled and said, "Please, call me Venelana. And it's the least we could do."

The Dragon flew onto my shoulder, and I had the biggest smile ever! "I think I'll call you…..Sølvlys!"

Rias then held my hand, and said, "I can see you're happy."

I said, "Yeah. I am. Well, Master Gremory, Sirzechs, Venelana, I thank you for your hospitality, and I shall inform you of any other updates on who is threatening your rule."

Zeoticus said, "Have a good rest, Isaac, and you picked a good one, Rias!"

Rias, Akeno, Isabel, Xenovia, Koneko and I teleported back to the Shrine.

-Shelter Under The Shrine, 5 Minutes Later, Isaac's POV-

We all teleported back, and I saw Asia, Ravel and Irina. "Hey everyone. We're back from preventing a coup in the Underworld."

Asia then hugged me and said, "Isaac! I was so worried about you! I thought you would have been killed."

"I'm fine, Asia. Those Devils were pushovers. The Fallen Angels, however."

Irina said, "Fallen Angels? But why?"

"I don't know, but I think something bigger is afoot. But I'm just glad to be alive, don't wasn't too think about getting killed by another Phenex."

Asia said, "I'm glad you're home. Now what's with the Dragon?"

"Oh yeah. Rias's mother, Venelana, gave me a Dragon for helping them out. His name is Sølvlys."

Akeno said, "You have a certain charm that attracts even legendary creatures."

Rias said, "Well, I think it's time to tell Clark what happened."

"Yeah. He'll be surprised for sure."

As we got to the couches, Ravel then woke up. "Lady Rias! What happened?"

She said, "I was able to prevent my brother from being killed by Raze, but now I think something bigger is happening. He called in Fallen Angels."

"You don't say….But I do have some good news for you. Lady Grayfia is alive!"

We all say, "WHAT!?"

Rias said, "Where is she?!"

"In a cave my father and brothers used as a hideout. The place should be all but abandoned, so you should be able to find her."

Rias then hugged her, and said, "Thank you, Ravel! I gotta inform my brother immediately!"

She then used a Magic Circle to teleport back to the Underworld and left with Isabel. We all sat on the couch, Sølvlys got on my lap, and I said, "Well that got busy quickly. But I think it's time to tell Clark what's been happening."

Ravel sat down with us next to Akeno. I turned on the holo-screen, and she said, "What kind of sorcery is this!?"

I said, "It's technology. Hey Clark. Something really crazy just happened."

"Would it be related to the Dragon in your lap?"

"It is. So this morning, as Rias and I were training, Ravel Phenex came in damaged, and passed out because she found out Raze was going to take over the entire Gremory Estate. Akeno, Isabel, Rias and I fought every last soldier storming the manor. But once they were beaten, Raze teleported in with 2 Fallen Angels, Kokabiel and Azazel, who promptly both me and Isabel. But I beat Kokabiel, and Azazel revealed he was just wanting to study my Sacred Gear. He then left, and Sirzechs woke up just in time to imprison Raze, who arrived to, like his brother, forcefully marry Rias."

"Well damn. Where did the Dragon come in?"

"Oh. Venelana, Rias' mother gave it to me for saving the family. And I also got a new version of the Rebirth Gear." I held up my arms, and they transformed.

"Wait, how are you wearing the armor on both arms?"

"Well, when I first met Sirzechs, he used a mirror on me that showed my true potential, and it showed me in the full armor. So I figured I could tap into enough power that wouldn't consume my soul at my current power level."

"Incredible. And where's Rias at?"

Ravel said, "Lady Rias has departed with her companion, Isabel, to inform Lord Sirzechs that Lady Grayfia is alive."

"What!?"

I replied, "That's what I said!"

"Well, nice to know a lot of good came out of that. You've earned a good rest, and in the morning, I want you to investigate an abandoned warehouse that Raynere frequented. It looks like her paranoia may have paid off."

"Good, I'm gonna go with Akeno."

"Wow, I think that's the first time you're actually away from Rias in a few weeks."

"Yeah, I guess. Well, I'm exhausted so I'm gonna take a nap."

"You earned it, man. Good job."

The screen shut off, and I then passed out on the couch. Asia cuddled up next to me, and Akeno said, "Well, You certainly have a charm, Isaac."

-Akeno's POV-

Xenovia and Irina said, "I'm glad we could help out. If you ever need help again, here are our numbers." They then left.

Ravel then went back to sleep on the couch.

Koneko then picked up both Isaac and Asia and put them both on the bed. Asia was still next to him, but I put my head on my lap, and I was stroking his hair. As that was happening, he smiled slightly.

-4 Hours Later, Isaac's POV-

Where...Shit, I'm sore! Then again, I did fight 100 weak Devils, get punched in the gut by a Fallen Angel, and push my limits. Just like earlier, I feel something holding me. I open my eyes and see Akeno next to me, sleeping and holding me. She didn't waste anything, did she?

Akeno woke up and said, "Hello, darling."

"Morning, ready for the day?"

"Of course, darling."

"Oh, and how's Ravel doing?"

"She's good now, just a little shaken from her brother's coup."

"Makes sense. Are you with Rias to get the Bishop?"

"No. She'll be with Isabel, and already took her to the Underworld for the night. But I would like to be with you to investigate the warehouse."

"I would like that. I also wanted to just chat with you. I don't really know much about you."

We both smiled, and Asia woke up. "Good afternoon, Isaac."

"Hey Asia. Looks like it's just you, me and Akeno."

"Good." She then hugged me, and went back to sleep.

I said to Akeno, "Looks like I'm not going anywhere."

"Good, my Rebel Phoenix." She then kissed me, and we all went back to sleep.

-Unknown Hotel Room, 6PM, Azazel's POV-

I was relaxing on the sofa with a glass of scotch, and was thinking about that kid's Sacred Gear. "I wonder if there are any other Greek Sacred Gears out there. Certainly would love to see what they could do."

Just then, a man with silver hair, wearing a green v-neck shirt, a black jacket and black jeans, and brown eyes came in. I said, "Hey Vali. How nice of you to come in. You would have loved that raid on the Underworld. What brings you here?"

"I came to ask where Kokabiel is."

"He joined me on the raid, but went mad, so I imprisoned him. Why do you ask?"

"He asked me to find you some other Sacred Gears to find."

"Oh? And what would they be?"

He then dropped a bag, and said, "Glory of Olympus."

How would Azazel have known about them? "I see, thank you, Vali."

Vali then leaves, and I open the bag up, and first pull out a helmet with some horns. "Ah, must be the Minotaur."

And with that, the Civil War is over, but we're not done yet! Isaac was able to defeat Kokabiel and improve the power of the Rebirth Gear, and Sirzechs woke up just in time to imprison Raze! In the next chapter, Isaac will have some alone time with Akeno, and uncover an even bigger plot! Thanks for reading!

-Author's Note-
