As Matsu and Kocho was going over the finished recorded video with Miya, Yume and the rest, Mizuki had immediately ran over to Antonio and jumped onto him like a younger sister would when she hadn't seen her older brother in a long time.

[Play Song: Kakashi Theme - Naruto OST]

"Mom, what's with you?" Asked Antonio as he sweatdropped while seeing his mother rub her cheek against his.

"How mean of you Antonio~." Replied Mizuki. "You're supposed to tell me when good, no, great things are happening! How could you not tell me that my super-kawaii grandbabies are almost here!" Said Mizuki as she pouted. Antonio gently placed his hand on his mother's cheek to try and push her away from his 'personal space'.

"Mom, you're getting too close." Said Antonio in a soft tone of voice.

"There is no such thing as 'too close' with me! I'm your mother!" Replied Mizuki, causing Antonio to sweatdrop. "You got some explaining to do young man!" Said Mizuki as she started to pinch and pull on his cheek then his ears.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!"

"Accept your punishment for not letting your dear mother know what's happening!" Said Mizuki.

[Song END]

Karasuba and Yume had sweatdropped at the sight of Antonio and his mother interacting with each other.

"Well they seem lively as usual." Said Yume.

"Hehe, I'll say." Replied Karasuba. "From here, they seem like brother and sister instead of mother and child.

"Yeah, It's hard to believe the age she is when she has such flawless skin." Said Kazehana who had then fixed her hair. "Just like me~."

"Matsu-san, Kocho-san, what did you two manage to find?" Asked Miya who was referring to the recorded video of all of their bout with their Ashikabi/husband.

"There still isn't a lot we don't know about that power he has." Said Kocho.

"From the footage we managed to received, we noticed a couple of things." Said Matsu as she had then pushed up her glasses closer to her face. Miya and Yume had then seen Matsu turning her laptop around so everybody could see her screen. "As the video you all are looking at shows, whenever he gets his hands on a Sekirei based weapon, he can immediately start using it like he already knew how too."

"Amazing." Said Yashima in a tone of admiration.

"Seriously." Said Nanami.

"Ahh I just loved seeing him handle that scythe like a pro." Said Yomi as she gently placed her hands on her cheeks while sporting a blush. "I just wish he would train me already and make me submit…"

"Damn Masochist…" Said Benitsubasa as she had sweatdropped, causing Haihane to snicker.

"The other thing is…" Said Matsu. "Pertaining to his strength, the only other people I could compare his strength too is you, Yume-san."

"Ehh?" Said Yume with a surprised tone of voice.

"That's not all." Said Matsu, gaining the attention of all of his Sekirei. "You all remember during his match at the All-Star Battle Games?" Asked Matsu.

"Yes of course." Replied Kazehana. "We all do." The wind Sekirei had then turned her computer screen around to type on it to bring up a side by side comparison graph with Antonio's picture next to Yume's.

"This is a graph comparing Yume's and Antonio strength." Said Matsu as she turned her laptop around for everyone to see.

"There both almost the exact same." Said Kagari.

"Correct." Replied Kocho. Miya had remembered that through the smoke that she had seen at the Battle Royale what seemed to be elegant wings emerge from his back.

"Which means, at that time, his strength was the exact same as when Yume unleashes her Sekirei Photon Beam." Said Matsu which more than stunned everyone. "But the damage it does towards his body could be immense if he keeps on repeatedly using that attack."

Rooftop Of A Nearby Building

"Ahh Shiro-kun's done training, nya." Said Kuroka as she sat on the edge of a nearby building as she 'watched' Antonio as he trained along with his training while her ears twitched and her black tail was wagging side to side slowly. She then had remembered her own words to him during their second encounter. 'In the sense our past has come to haunt us in the present.' In her past, Kuroka and Koneko's mother had tragically passed away while their father had abandoned them both, wanting nothing to do with the supernatural. After losing their mother, Kuroka and her little sister was both taken in by a Devil named Astaroth. Thankful for him, Kuroka wanted to serve him as a token of helping them in their time of need. Astaroth agreed and by using two evil pieces, Kuroka was then reincarnated as his bishop. Kuroka's master then, Astaroth had noticed that Kuroka was becoming extremely talented in both Senjutsu and Youjutsu which made him extremely proud of her.

As days pass, Kuroka had begun to notice that Koneko begins to act weird around her master which peaked her curiosity, only for her to find out that her Master had almost taken advantage of Koneko before she had walked in a room where the two of them were 'alone' which made her more than furious to the point where she killed her master so he wouldn't ever take advantage of her little sister. Her good deed had caused a gap in their relationship, made her a highly wanted Devil and made her always be on the move but somehow she doesn't go anywhere when it comes to Antonio. She then happened to remembered his words, how she shouldn't have kids with someone based on their strength but instead have kids with someone she genuinely have feelings for.

'Shiro-kun, you are one interesting human.' Kuroka thought as her tail stopped wagging and her ears drooped down. Even though she didn't want to admit it, but she knew Antonio was right. She was stumped, something that never happened to her.

Elsewhere

People have begun to see a girl, bearing silver hair and blue eyes while wearing a schoolgirls uniform, holding what seemed to be a photo. What was on the photo was a picture of her mother and who seemed to be her savior long, long ago.

'I have to find him.' The mysterious girl said to herself. 'I'll do it!' Before she could take a step forward, she felt something bulging out of her back so she decided to use her right arm to reach behind and gently pat herself on the back. 'Who knew these things would be more trouble than what they are worth.' As she begun to walk forward, a pure white feather had fallen slowly to the ground, letting the bright sunshine over it while a looming, threatful color slowly envelope the sky.

Chapter 15: Rise Of A New Threat


Kawakami City Super Water Park

After arriving at the waterpark that Ageha sent him the directions too, he had found a parking spot for his Camaro, walked inside and the park employees directed him to the changing room for men. Antonio had changed into his all black swimming trunks with a white line going down the side as he took off his shirt, revealing his caramel toned body as he placed his belongings in a locker and secured it tightly before heading out. When he did, he had seen the backs of some familiar people which turned out to be Issei and Kiba.

"Yo Issei, Kiba, what's up?" Asked Antonio. Issei had then turned his head around, along with Kiba.

"Hey Antonio." Said Issei as he begun to sweatdrop.

"What's up with you?" Asked Antonio. He had then seen Kiba gently scratching the back of his head as Antonio stood in the middle of Kiba and Issei.

"You honestly think so Rias? I don't think a swimsuit like that would honestly catch his attention." Said Akeno.

[Play Song: For Me, Live On - High School DXD OST]

"What about you?!" Replied Rias as she was wearing a red two piece that let her firm boobs bounce every time she took a step while Akeno wore a black one piece with cut outs showing her cleavage, and stomach in the shape of a diamond. "You think you can grasp Issei's attention wearing something bland as that?"

"When it comes to fashion Rias, I'm sorry to say but my swimsuit compliments my body more so naturally Issei is going to find my swimsuit more attractive." Said Akeno. Antonio had sweatdropped at the sight of Akeno and Rias arguing, which more than reminded him of Benitsubasa and Haihane.

"Those two are always at it." Said Kiba.

"So it's like that everyday?" Asked Antonio, seeing both Kiba and Issei nod.

"It get's worse at home because we all live together." Replied Issei. "Even though they are best friends, they'll start throwing magic at each other trying to kill each other."

"T-That's rough." Said Antonio.

"It is." Replied Issei.

"Issei!" Said Rias in a serious tone of voice which sent a jolt towards his body.

"Y-Yes ma'am!" Replied Issei as he stood at attention causing Kiba to chuckle shyly and Antonio to sweatdrop.

"Be honest and don't lie. Whose swimsuit looks better? Mines or Akeno's?" Asked Rias.

[Song END]

"It's ok Issei, just tell her the truth about how much my swimsuit turns you on." Said Akeno, causing Issei to sweat bullets at the sight of a malicious black and red aura surrounding Rias.

"Look, I think you two both look amazing in your swimsuits." Said Issei. He had then seen Akeno gently placing her hand on her cheek.

"Oh my, so that must means he like's my swimsuit more since he was looking at me first when he said that." Said Akeno.

"As If! He was looking at me!" Replied Rias as a vein appeared on the side of her head while Issei had only sighed. Issei had then felt Antonio placing his hand on his right shoulder.

"I understand what you are going through." Said Antonio.

"Well the good thing that comes out of all this is that I'm living with beautiful women." Replied Issei as he and Antonio had fist bumped each other.

'Speaking of which, where's Momo and Mayuuchi?' Antonio thought to himself.

Elsewhere Inside Waterpark

"Your swimsuit is fine Momo-Senpai, Antonio-Senpai is going to like it." Said Mayuuchi as she was wearing an all white one-piece swimsuit while seeing Momoyo standing nervously wearing a black and red two piece with a red ribbon attached to her hair.

"I'll say, you nearly stayed up two hours past midnight trying to find something to wear." Said Matsukaze as the cellphone strap mounted Mayuuchi's shoulder. "I know about planning ahead but what you did was ridiculous."

"Well I just wanted to find something nice to wear." Replied Momoyo as the sounds of the rushing waters due to the water slides filled the air. 'I even went as far to to put a ribbon in my hair.' Momoyo had thought as she gently touched the ribbon that sat in her hair. 'Maybe he'll think it's cute.' As Antonio was walking around, looking for his other girlfriend and his kouhai Mayuuchi, he had seen Yumi sitting poolside, allowing her feet to touch the water.

"Ahh Yumi-san!" At the sound of her name being called, Yumi had lifted her head up and had seen Antonio waving towards her which made her blush a little bit. All of her life she has never been called cute because to others except for her friends, she comes off a bit cold and unapproachable. As she had waved back, Antonio simply smiled back at her which caused her to blush a bit at the sight of him walking off, which also caused Shiki to smirk manically.

"W-What is it Shiki-san?" Asked Yumi.

"So what's it like to have a crush on somebody?" Asked Shiki, causing Yumi to turn her head away from friend and teammate as she tried to hide a small blush.

"I have no idea what you are speaking of." Said Yumi flatly. "As someone in pursue of justice, I do not have time for a 'crush'."

"Sure, sure." Said Shiki as she closed her eyes and smiled to herself. Miyabi wanted Issei to take the 'responsibility' for calling her cute so as she went looking for him with Imu following behind her with a semi-pissed facial expression because 'her' Miyabi was looking for someone other than her. After a few minutes have passed, Antonio had found both Mayuuchi and Momoyo looking at each other until they had both seen Antonio approaching them.

"Hey Mayuuchi, Momo-chan, how are you g…" Said Antonio as he stopped before finishing talking as he had seen Momoyo's ribbon in her head.

"W-What?" Asked Momoyo as she had a blush arise to her face at the sight of Antonio seemingly staring at her. "It's not nice to stare." Said Momoyo. The crimson eyed beauty had then seen her boyfriend shake his head.

"I-It's not that, It's just that…"

"Just what?" Asked Momoyo as she had folded her arms.

"Just that the ribbon in her your hair, it looks great on you." Replied Antonio as he started to scratch the back of his head, causing Momoyo's face to slowly turn red like a cherry tomato to the point where she could feel steam of embarrassment escape her ears.

"T-Thank you." Replied Momoyo softly as she started to play with her thumbs as her body began to slowly shake.

"Oh my, seems as if someone is a little bit embarrassed."

"Matsukaze! You shouldn't tease people like that." Said Mayuuchi.

"Come on, I was just trying to set the mood." Replied Matsukaze as the trio began walking to find some rides to go on.

"Hey Antonio." Said Momoyo, catching Antonio's attention. "Miyako finally got her wish, her and Yamato started dating." Said Momoyo. She had then seen Antonio face forward with his eyes closed as he continued walking.

"That's great, good for her." Replied Antonio, causing Mayuuchi and Momoyo to have a confused facial expression while Matsukaze had a question mark of confusion appear above it.

"Are… You not happy for her?" Asked Momoyo. She, along with Mayuuchi had heard Antonio sigh.

"It's not that, I'm actually happy for Miyako because she finally get's a chance at happiness." Replied Antonio. "It's just…"

"Yamato-san?" Asked Mayuuchi. Mayuuchi, Matsukaze and Momoyo had seen Antonio scratch the back of his head while his eyes were still closed, concealing his hazel eyes.

"Yamato, I feel that no matter how much he can apologize, I just can't forgive him for what did and act like it never happened. One part of me wants to forgive him, but the other part of me wants little to nothing to do with him." Replied Antonio. "Just diving into me and my mother's personal life like that out of spite, and about my father as well…" Mayuuchi and Momoyo had seen Antonio lower his right arm and had seen a tight fist start to form for a few seconds. "That really pisses me off like no other…"

"You have a right too." Said Momoyo. "I won't ever let Yamato forget what he did, regardless of the fact he is my little brother." Antonio had then taken a deep breath and then had exhaled. "Just know that if you ever want to talk, you have me and everybody else."

"Momo-Senpai is right." Said Mayuuchi, causing eyes to fall onto her. "I-I don't know how much help I would be, but I'll be here to listen." Said Mayuuchi.

"Thanks you two." Said Antonio as he tilted his head and smiled.


Beyond The Wings Of Fate


Awhile Later - Kanzaki Residence

"Hey Kotonoha, Is everything going alright?" Asked Chiho as she had texted Kotonoha due to not seeing each other, but the two still text everyday.

"Yes everything is going fine." Kotonoha texted back. "I went back home to visit my mother for a couple of days with Kokoro."

"Oh ok, well be careful, and safe travels! :D" Texted Chiho before placing her phone in her phone down on her bed. As she silently stared at her ceiling, she turned her body over to observe the items that were on her personal dresser. Her main focus was on the picture of her and Antonio at the time they were at the amusement park together, right next to that framed picture was another picture of her, Antonio, Uzume and Mizuki grouped up together to celebrate her return to the then, Maison Izumo after her successful recovery from her life threatening illness that at her previous hospital only slowed it down before it could do fatal damage to her body. She had seen the smile on Antonio's face as she looked upon the picture of her very last moments in her wheelchair and felt a warm feeling surge throughout her body, which caused a smile to be visible upon her face.

'Everytime I look at you Antonio, my heart just won't stop beating. I get a very nice, warm feeling in my chest that slowly starts to reach my entire body. You know, just like your Sekirei and Momoyo-Senpai, I love you, I love you so much and I will continue to do so in this life and after.' Chiho thought to herself as she reached out to the framed photo of them together as she was still in her bed. 'I'll never leave your side, no matter what.'

Living Room

"So how are you doing on your leveling quota?" Asked Saki. "Remember, It's always good to stop and train your pokemon to have their levels increase because once you progress through the story, it will get a bit harder."

"All of my creatures…" Said Akitsu, stopping before she could finish.

"What about them?" Asked Saki.

"Some of them are too adorable to evolve through training." Said Akitsu, causing Saki to sweatdrop.

"You know you could cancel their evolution by pressing the B button right Akitsu?" Said Saki before sighing. "I'm going to help you be the strongest trainer, after me of course." As Saki placed her hand on Akitsu's shoulder, the two began leveling their pokemon as they sat on their couch while Kuu was watching television.

"Ara, playing to much games is bad for you." Said Miya as she carried a small plate to the kitchen table. "Try to reduce your playing time a bit Saki-chan, Akitsu-chan."

"Haaaaaaiiii." Replied Saki as she didn't take her eyes off of her screen while Miya had gently placed the plate down on the table.

"Kuu-chan, I've made a snack for you." Said Miya and immediately, Kuu paused the TV and headed towards the chair Miya had already pulled out for her. The little Sekirei's favorite snack, probably of all times was apples and peanut butter that was easy to dip. "Make sure to eat it all up." Said Miya as she smiled at Kuu.

"Hai!" Replied Kuu, as she picked up the first apple slice, dipped it in the peanut butter and then guided it towards her mouth. Miya had seen Kuu had a happy expression on her face as she grabbed another apple slice.

'Is this what it means, to be a mother?' Miya thought to herself as she walked towards the sink to wash her hands and dry them off with a towel. Matsu and Kocho had then ran downstairs to the living room and grabbed the remote control, luckily Kuu was occupied with her healthy snack. "Matsu, Kocho-san, no running in the house." Said Miya as she approached the two who were sat down on the couch while Matsu had her laptop sitting on her lap.

"Miya-tan, please tell me you have been looking at the news!" Said Matsu in a serious tone of voice as her glasses sat perfectly on her face. As Miya shook her head no, she had seen Matsu had connected her laptop screen to the TV in the living room wirelessly.

"Breaking, LIVE News. An ominous color had started to fill the sky at an alarming pace in Japan, everywhere in Japan for that matter. No one has been informed of the matter which is why dozen of calls have been pouring in wondering what's going on..."

"What's up with all the noise?" Asked Kazehana as she stretched her arms above her head while she yawned as she walked into the living room. The Wind Sekirei had then seen MAtsu putting up multiple screens on their TV, luckily for them their TV was big enough to have them properly fit next to each other.

"What's going on?" Asked Minato.

"Seems as If a violent storm is brewing." Replied Tsukiumi as she had observed what was on the television screen as her and her Ashikabi walked into the living room as well.

"Oniichan!" Kuu pushed herself away from the table and had ran over to Antonio who walked through the door and dropped his bag on the floor that had his swimming clothes and towels in as Kuu begun to show him her affection in the form of a hug. Then Antonio, Kuu who had Antonio's bag in her little hand, and Chiho who had walked down the stairs and had seen Antonio all walk into the living room.

"Hey, what's going on?" Asked Antonio.

"Apparently a storm is going to happen." Replied Yashima.

"All at once…" Chimed in Matsu, causing everyone to have a confused look on their face. "All over the word it seems like. Reporters one after another just started popping up with the same news to report." As Antonio watched the video of the sky on one of the new reports on their TV, he thought he had seen something 'zoom' past the camera so fast that it wasn't able to capture it.

"Wait, pause it." Said Antonio and as he requested, Matsu paused the news report her pointed to. "Rewind it slowly." Kocho had then began to rewind the footage slowly until Antonio had seen what to him, was worth the pause. "Stop it right there." As Kocho stopped it exactly where he asked, everyone then seen a blur with what seemed to be, wings which Antonio had seen with his crimson eyes along with his and his cousins Sekirei.

'I got a bad feeling about this…' Antonio thought to himself.

"Antonio-sama!" Said Musubi as she had seen Antonio race towards the front door while the news reporter kept talking, which caused not only her, but the rest of his Sekirei, but Minato's and Yukari's as well with Miya and Chiho bringing up the rear. As Antonio slowly opened the door, he looked outside to see the once cheery, blue sky had vanished and a ominous colored sky that spelled out evil took it's place, one that Miya knew well.

Outside

[Play Song: Girei - Naruto Shippuden OST]

Kuroka had covered her mouth as she had yawned while sitting on her usual rooftop edge as she waits to 'observe' Antonio. Whenever the thought of him comes across her mind, her tail wags happily, but as she looked up to the sky, her wagging ceased and her ears stopped twitching at the sight of the darkened skies and what seemed to be flying above the black clouds.

'What the hell?' Antonio thought to himself.

"Shoot, here I am without an umbrella." Said Kazehana, causing a vein to appear on the side of Hikari's head. "I guess I have to stick next to Kanzaki-kun so I don't get wet, but I wouldn't mind if it's him getting me that way~."

"Ok, listen here you freak." Said Hikari but before she could get anything out her mouth, a loud thunderclap could be heard, repeating itself over and over again as it echoed throughout the sky around not only them, not only around Shino Teito and Kawakami City which Momoyo was also looking up at the same sky, but everywhere.

"I didn't know you got so upset that you let off this much electricity." Teased Kazehana.

"Are you serious?! I'm not doing that!" Replied Hikari.

"Neither am I." Said Hibiki in her defense.

"This is seriously starting to get weird." Said Benitsubasa.

"Like you trying to wear padded bras?" Asked Haihane, causing Benitsubasa to become more than embarrassed as her face lit up like a christmas tree.

"Haihane what the hell!" Said Benitsubasa with a bit of anger in her voice.

"What? Don't get mad at me because it's the truth." Replied Haihane before she snickered to herself.

"It used to… ughh!" Benitsubasa stopped as she was about to reveal 'one of her many embarrassing' secrets which caused her to sweat bullets as she tried to hid her blush.

'I knew it.' Haihane thought to herself. As the 'bickering' between the two has ended, the thunderclap continued, the clouds had begun to change form into a funnel cloud when had then began to build up into an orb. Once the orb was at the appropriate size, it had dispersed. Antonio had then felt Chiho grabbing onto his arm and clenching tightly while feeling a beat of sweat slowly rolling down the right side of face.

'I-It can't be…' Miya thought to herself as she clenched onto sheathed sword. Everybody, around the world was seeing at the same time, a giant, menacing shadow with purple outline and white eyes.

"What the hell…?" Said Antonio as everybody at the Kanzaki residence, saw the shadowy figure look down upon them, as If they were all insects.

[Song END]


Beyond The Wings Of Fate


With a single snap of his large, menacing fingers, Antonio, Yukari, Minato and their Sekirei, along with Chiho had seen multiple giant, humanoids with wings, sharp teeth and claws used to just decimate their target, leaving nothing left but the blood dripping down their claws and mouths.

'What the actual hell is that?' Minato thought to himself.

"Beats me…" Replied Yukari as she had seen Shi and Shiina ready themselves at the sight of the monsters levitating in the sky, along with Minato's and Antonio's Sekirei. Then suddenly, the shadowy image in the sky slowly raised his arms up in the sky.

"This tainted world that once flourished with unparalleled beauty, shall be cleansed and restored. Beings in Heaven, Earth and the Underworld, everywhere, shall know what it means to truly be afraid!" As the mysterious figure slowly faded away from everyone's sight, a sound that was emitted from a horn could be heard throughout the skies, a sound that made all the monsters perk their heads up, letting out a ear piercing roar while some flew off in different directions.

"Nii-san, those monsters…" Said Minato

"They're heading towards the more populated areas of the city!" Chimed in Yukari.

"Antonio, what shall you have us do?" Asked Akitsu as all of his Sekirei were waiting for their instructions.

"Just give us the word!" Said Saki. Chiho had then seen Antonio breathe in, then had exhaled before turning around to face his family. He knew that he still held the title of not only the Ashikabi of the North, but also the title of the strongest Ashikabi of his generation.

"Chiho."

"Hai?" Replied Chiho as she turned to looked at her boyfriend in his eyes through his glasses.

"Stay here. I don't want to risk anything happening to you, not again…" Said Antonio as his hands slowly intertwined with Chiho's.

"Ok." Replied Chiho. Antonio had then looked over to Uzume.

"Keep her safe Uzume, Miya." Said Antonio. He had then seen Uzume walking over to Chiho and had sat her hand on her shoulder.

"Of course." Replied Uzume, causing Antonio to nod his head with approval. "I won't let anything get past me and my veils." Matsu and Kocho also agreed to stay behind while Miya just simply nodded her head.

"Good." Replied Antonio. "Everyone else…" Said Antonio, catching the attention of the rest of his loved ones. "We got a city to protect."

Shino Teito - Northern District

As people were making a mad dash trying to find safety, the gargoyle type monsters were flying through the air occasionally screeching all in the Northern District, including the districts of the East, South and Western parts of the city. People were pushing and shoving each other trying to get to safety, not having any concerns for nobody else's safety except their own. One male had slowly turned his head towards his left to see the monster slowly incoming towards him and a small group of people with it's mouth wide open.

"Ahhhhhhh, somebody please!" screamed out a pedestrian as the red eyes of the creature slowly crept up upon them.

"Water Celebration!" A highly pressurized shot of water slammed into the creature with so much force that it not only slammed the creature into a wall, but managed to protect the citizens who were panicking.

"Great job Tsukiumi!" Cheered Minato as he had seen Tsukiumi landed next to him. "Can you keep on going?" Asked Minato. He had then Tsukiumi fix her long, beautiful blonde hair.

"Thou doesn't even need to ask Minato." Replied Tsukiumi. Her eyes had shifted over to Oriha and Katsuragi who were helping guide the civilians to safety which were filled with disgust at the sight of humans bumping and shoving each other with no regard for their lives. "I can keep going for as long as thy needs me to Minato!" Said Tsukiumi with her usual tone of confidence.

"So can I." Said Tsurara as she descended to the ground while still in her combative stance. Her quick movements made her a target that made her hard to get an accurate hit, something the creature found out as it struck it's claw down at Tsurara who just jumped out of the way. "Searing Palm Strike!" Tsurara had then thrusted her palm into the chest of the creature who struck at her with enough force to send them flying in a rotating circle until they made impact with a small, nearby building. She then had landed on one leg with her left leg lifted up due to her training in chinese martial arts that made her body very flexible.

Elsewhere: Border Of North And South District

"Steamburst Serpent!" A serpent that was created from the combination of Sachi's and Sora's water and fire attack was flying through the sky, striking each of the creatures with precise accuracy, causing them to seemingly explode. Maori and Chiyo, along with Darius were guiding citizens, trying to keep them calm as possible.

"Please everyone! Try to stay calm and move this-a-way." Said Maori.

"Don't shove! We are doing our best to make sure everyone get's to safety!" Chimed in Chiyo.

"Good job everyone." Said Darius as he was helping everyone evacuate. "Especially you as well Rosalia." He had seen Rosalia skidding close to him.

"I truly appreciate your praise Darius-kun." Replied Rosalia. "And I wish to receive more after we are done completing the task you've given us." She had got back into her stance and began to focus, letting all of her power flow throughout her body. Before the monster could take a step forward, Rosalia leaned forward and dashed towards it with such extreme speed, it almost seemed as if she vanished then reappeared in front of the creature. While on her hands she boosted herself upwards and slammed her the bottom of her shoes into the creature's chin, causing it to be stunned as it was lifted off the ground. She had reset herself and then jumped after the creature. "Scarlet Decimation!" Rosalia had flipped in the air and stuck out her left leg that was coated in a scarlet red color, as soon as her foot made contact with the creature, it became enveloped in the same scarlet color of light as it descended to the ground in a corkscrew until it made impact with the ground violently, causing a crater to form.

Elsewhere - Northern District

Throughout the panicking crowds, pushing and shoving each other, a girl with silver hair was 'accidentally' pushed down as people was running by her, with no regard to see if she was alright. As she had fallen, a picture that she treasured had found it's way out of where she had thought she securely placed it.

'I'm not going to lose that photo!' The girl had then had stretched out to reach and grabbed her photo. After letting out a sigh of relief, she had used her arms to swipe away the imaginary sweat off her forehead. She then had dusted off the photo that meant more to her than the most expensive diamond which made her smile, but as soon as she raised her head, another creature incoming towards her. The facial expression on her changed as she slowly raised her left arm towards the incoming creature, but she had slowly seen the back of a certain man's clothes.

"Haaaaa!" As Antonio's fist had connected with the creature that tried to attack her, she had seen the punch carried enough force to make the creature have a ripple effect on it's face while it was sent flying into a building, destroying it's wall. The silver haired girl's blue eyes had widen at the sight of Antonio's crimson eyes as he had descended to the ground.

"Are you ok?" Asked Antonio as he had looked to see the girl he protected was still on the ground, to him, it looked as if she was still recovering from some sort of 'Shock'. "Are you ok?" Asked Antonio as he repeated himself.

"Y-Yeah." Replied the girl as she had softly patted the dust and dirt off her skirt as she stood up. "A-Arigato…" She then had suddenly remembered something drastically important as she took the photo back out and looked at it for a few seconds and seen the similarities between two people.

"Make sure you get to safety." Said Antonio. He had heard screaming off in another direction and immediately headed in that direction. Letting the girl stretched her arm out to him, as if she is reaching out to him. As her arm were lowered back to her side, the photo she kept precious to her was that of her mother who was then fully healed, and of the man who saved her, Matsuro Kirigaya who was the previous Ashikabi of Fate who resembled Antonio to the 'T'


Beyond The Wings Of Fate


Everybody, not only those in Shino Teito and Kawakami City, but everyone in Japan had heard the very same sound that could be emitted from a horn echo across the sky which caused the remaining creatures to immediately jerk their heads up.

"Haaaa! Take th…" Just as Yashima was about to go in for a slash, the creature had suddenly flew up in the air, causing Yashima to trip and fall forward. "Owww!" Yashima had released her hammer that was in her right hand and begun to rub her forehead as Yahan, Natsu and Nanami came to check up on her. They, along with everybody else had seen all of the creatures fly up into the dark colored clouds, not to be seen from again, for now as the dark colored clouds started to dissipate, revealing the usual white clouds and the blue skies, but also the destruction that was left.

"They retreated?" Said Kaho in a confused tone of voice.

"Seems like it." Replied Akitsu.

"Great job everyone." Said Antonio, catching the attention of Kaho, Akitsu and Musubi. As Musubi was jumping around with energy at what she thought was a job well done, Antonio started to scratch the back of his head. "MBI will make sure everyone is ok, let's head back."

Kanzaki Residence

"Antonio!" As soon as Chiho had seen Antonio walk through the front door and into the front foyer, she had ran into his arms with tears nearly flowing from her face. "T-Thank god you are alright!"

"Of course! I had to come back to see if my important family was alright." Replied Antonio.

"Onii-chan!" Kuu had ran up to Antonio and had hugged tightly onto his leg. "I..I was so scared." Antonio and Chiho, along with everybody else had seen Kuu's body shuddering with fear like she had just woken up from a terrifying nightmare. Chiho had then seen Antonio squatting down, then gently placing his hand on her head, causing her to lift her head up to have her green eyes make contact with his hazel eyes.

"Don't worry Kuu, you have nothing to be afraid of now." Said Antonio with warm smile on his face. Kuu had slowly raised her arm to her eyes to dry the tears that were forming in her eyes.

"Good job you two." Said Yukari as she placed her hands on Shiina's and Shi's shoulder. "You guys kicked ass out there."

"Seriously, you girls did an amazing job." Said Minato.

"Did you expect anything less?" Asked Tsukiumi as she fixed her hair. "B-But thank you." Said Tsukiumi softly with a small blush on her face. As she was 'distracted' Oriha took Minato's left arm while Katsuragi took the right, leaving Tsurara with Minato's back as she firmly pressed her breasts against it.

"Hehe, you left your guard wide open, Tsukiumi-chan~." Teased Tsurara as she winked towards Tsukiumi with her tongue hanging out, causing multiple veins on her head to appear. As everyone was laughing at Minato's Sekirei's usual antics, Antonio had walked over to Miya who had a blank expression on her face.

"Miya, are you alright?" Asked Antonio. Miya had then immediately nodded her head.

"Y-Yes." Said Miya with her usual warm smile. "I'm quite alright." Before Antonio could say anything else, everyone had heard his phone start to ring.

"Hello?"

"Antonio, where are you?" Asked Ageha in an unusual tone of voice.

"Just walked through the door with everybody. What's g.." Asked Antonio.

"Look the reason why I called you is, because someone is here looking for you." Replied Ageha. "I need you to get down here as soon as you can, now." As Ageha, disconnected the call, Antonio lowered his own phone. Outside, Kuroka had seen all of his family gearing up to head towards Kawakami City which peeked up her curiosity so she decided to follow.

Kawakami City - Kuki Corporation Building

"Thanks for coming." Said Ageha as she walked with Antonio down the long hallway with Antonio, Chiho, Minato and Yukari, along with their Sekirei.

"It sounded pretty important that I be here, and plus I knew you wanted to see me as well Ageha Nee-san." Said Antonio, causing a light blush to emerge on her face.

"Baka…" Replied Ageha causing Antonio to chuckle.

"I hope you didn't mind us all coming in." Said Antonio.

"I don't mind." Replied Ageha. "Mi casa, es su casa." Said Ageha as they were walking down a seemingly never ending hallway, while the Sekirei and Chiho were in amazement at all of the beautiful vases and paintings that decorated the halls as maids and butlers bowed to Ageha and her visitors. "We are getting close to the V.I.P meeting room."

"Ageha Nee-san, how is Momoyo and the others?" Asked Antonio.

"Did you even need to ask?" Replied Ageha. "As the Goddess Of Battle, she had an absolute field day. The damage to the city is the issue, along with what that 'thing' said."

'This tainted world that once flourished with unparalleled beauty, shall be cleansed and restored. Beings in Heaven, Earth and the Underworld, everywhere, shall know what it means to truly be afraid!' Thought Antonio as he remembered upon the dark, eerie figures words. Something that it said, just didn't sit right with him. He had then felt Chiho grabbing onto hand, allowing the warmth from her hand transfer to his.

"Ok, here we are." Said Ageha as they approached one of Kuki Corps many V.I.P meeting rooms that they only held meetings with very, very important people across the country and nation. She had then turned to Chiho, Minato, Yukari and the large group of Sekirei. "I'm going to have to ask you to wait outside please."

"Ok." Said Benitsubasa who then turned her attention towards Antonio. "Call us if you need us ok Antonio!" The pink haired Sekirei had seen her husband nod his head before entering the V.I.P room.

"Excuse me." Said Karasuba, catching Ageha's attention. "Do us a favor would you?"

Kuki Corporation - V.I.P Room Lobby

A boy with medium-sized light grey hair and grey, whispered into the ear of a young and beautiful woman who had simply just nodded her head after the sound of someone knocking at the door.

As Antonio peeked into the room, he had noticed the large interior that had paintings decorating the walls. A desk sat in one part of the room with comfortable couches sat around it. Antonio had also seen the window in the room gave the viewers inside a really beautiful view, letting the light from outside fill the room.

"Hello? Did someone request for me?" Asked Antonio as he then stepped into the room. He had seen someone, sitting atop the desk was a girl with crimson eyes with long, blonde hair that was a ponytail on the left side of her head with a black strap. He had then seen multiple girls sitting around the desk. One with long blue hair and blue eyes, another with short pink hair tied into pigtails with two black ribbons. A girl with long black hair that matches her yukata, and lastly, three girls. One with light-brown hair tied into a ponytail with yellow eyes, another with short black hair with green eyes and lastly, a girl with short, blue hair and dark-blue eyes.

"Yes, I was the one who requested for you." Said the girl with the blonde, side ponytail. "My name is Lisesharte Atismata, Queen of the New Kingdom. Said Queen Lisesharte, causing Antonio to blink rapidly.

"I-I'm sorry for not giving you the proper greeting." Said Antonio as he bowed in respect to the young Queen. "What is the reasoning for you requesting me?" Asked Antonio. The boy had looked out of the corner of his eye, along with everybody else had seen Queen Lisesharte slowly grab onto her sword that was attached to her hip.

"L-Lisha-sama!" Said the boy in a surprised tone of voice.

"Because of you… Because of you!" Antonio had looked up to see the tip of Queen Lisesharte's sword device point at Antonio's head. As he raised his head, his immediate reaction was to stand straight up and take a few steps back.

"Eh?!"

"Because of you, a close friend of mine got hurt!" Said Queen Lisesharte.
