Chapter 7: Come Together
Summary: After seeing evidence of Zamiel's claims of an incoming war with Yahweh, and witnessing his new weapon known as Davina show off her new horrible powers upon the crew aboard The Black Knight. The group find themselves heading towards a large planet known as the homeworld of Zamiel, Neoisha, and now has plans of his own to stop what's to come. But several of them have a distinct feeling he is hiding more than he has told
The ship finally reaches the surface, landing upon an obsidian like structure as the group is lead out by Zamiel who says "Welcome everyone, I know it's not Earth or any place your used to but trust me it'll grow on you" as everyone looks around.
They all then spot a gigantic grey furry humanoid behemoth walking past their location that had to be at least 15 stories high, ignoring them all the while .
Gaspar then says "Whoa, that was a big Alien just now, I hope it didn't see us" as he clenches up at the sight of the now distant creature.
Zamiel then looks back to him and says "Don't mind them, they're farmers that travel through here from time to time, they live on the countryside after losing their planet to the destroyer God Sheeva, I made sure they survived after taking her down" causing the young vampire to shudder in surprise.
Then a smaller vessel hovers down towards them resembling a bus, revealing a purple slug like creature with the face of a hammerhead shark and many short arms as it's pilot.
The creature then says in a gurling voice "Here to pick you up boss, the wife's waitin, what are you all looking at, never seen an elderly Leichca before " as the others look at it in surprise.
Zamiel then says "Alright everyone hop in, don't worry Sacho here won't bite especially after losing that bet hehe"
Sacho then says "Eat me-wait that's Rias Gremory?! Can I have your auto-" as Zamiel covers it's mouth as he replies "Hehe don't mind sacho, can't think straight in her old age" as sacho then moves away it's face to start up the shuttle lined with double seats .
Zamiel then apologies telepathically to sacho and says "Sorry but they can't know that yet" and sits down in the front seat.
Rias takes a moment to stare at him as she asks herself "I could have sworn I heard my name, what's really going on here?" as she sits 2 rows behind Zamiel.
Ophis then says "I-I remember this place, this the only place I couldn't see in the universe" as the creature sacho says "Ah my dear, this is most indestructable place in any universe, all protected by mr. big shot and his family" jabbing her thumb in his direction.
Issei, amazed by the entire scenary, then says wildly "Man the boys are missing out, this is my opportunity to maybe find some potential space babes and go where no man has gone befor-ow!" as he is punched in the guts by koneko.
Azazel, who couldn't keep his suspicious gaze off the man in question, then asked bluntly "Zamiel, tell me was this where you went during the war" had brought everyone to silence.
Zamiel then says with a sigh "Yep, can't lie, never in septillions of years , would I thought i'd marry Rose, we really made a new life here and then I became a man on top of that" causing shock to many faces.
Xenovia then asks in hesitation "Wait, were you serious earlier when you mentioned being a woman?" and receives a head nod from the latter as Xenovia says "That can't be, your clearly a man!".
Zamiel says "True but, no one has seen my original body, to be honest i'm not sure who I was originally but all I know now is that I'm just your neighborly cosmic guardian" as he pulls out a flask and drinks from it while burping.
Rias, still eyebrowing him asks "Still doesn't explain why you chose to look and act human? You do it as if you've done it before" as he says "Well far as I remember I specifically do remember being a mortal human before any of you existed but that's a story for another time" as then began to view the high sights from the windows.
They all begin to see the sights of the city nearby their landing spot, as they see many other different flying vehicles with all kinds of new lifeforms they've never seen before. Some of these looked like what resemble their Nekomata friend Koneko, others looked human, and many others with balding features and wide pupils.
And then they see the sight of futuristic buildings that looked to be made of the most cultivated of various colored diamond, leaving them all in awe.
Then they downwards to see more extraterrestrials, some with hulking apperances, and others that looked more familiar to them such elves and fairy like beings, but Sirzechs then spots something unexpected to them all as he says "Wait, is that a demon? All the way out here?".
Everyone then shifts their eyes to the demon spotted below as Grayfia asks Zamiel directly "What is this? Why are demons on your world?".
He then forms a smile and explains saying "Ah, well during the great war, I welcomed any being who didn't wish to participate here to live like they want, thus I invited demons, fallen and angels here" .
At hearing this news, Irina spoke up standing out her seat saying "Your kidding, Angels would never leave their post, their loyalty to Heaven is unwavering" .
He then says "Afraid not always true shortstop, and before you all ask i'm more than willing to discuss this later so don't try t-oof do...that" as he receives a punch in the face by Irina who stomps back to her seat mumbling quietly.
Then sacho gurgles "We are here, welcome to the house of Z" as they all look to see they've passed the city and reach a field of blue grass and strange animals that look be grazing.
Then they catch sight of a large structure that comes into full view and appears to be a large compound consisting of multiple builings that look to be made of Lapis Lazuli stone and purest of illuminscent Marble.
Zamiel then announces "Welcome to my humble abode" as the shuttle begins to stop in front of the largeest structure that looked to be the main house.
Asia then says "This place is amazing, i've never seen anything like this anywhere" as Issei says "No kidding, it's like something out of a comicbook or something out of a nerd's dream" as they all share similar thoughts.
They all then spot a waving smiling buxom woman with straighten medium length violet red hair , icy white skin, patches of red fur on her forearms and tail to match as well as a pair of moving cat ears, sporting an outfit consisting of a black t-shirt, spiked choker collar, and blue jeans and black combat boots .
Kiba then says "Hey zamiel, is that your wife there?" as Zamiel looks down and says "Aw shit she's pissed, everyone play it cool and please don't tell her I sort of kidnapped you".
As they listen to him, Venelana gives a second glance and says in shock "Wait a minute, she's your wife?! Lady Rose?!" causing everyone to stare in confusion as the shuttle finally lands and stops.
Rias looks to her mother and says "You know that woman mother?" and Venelana replies in a frown and slight sweat "Oh yes, I could never forget that face, you'll know why in time my dear trust me" as Rias nods in concerned for her mother's past.
They all then get out the shuttle to find themselves standing in front of the new woman before them, as Koneko stares at her and says "This energy, it's much like my own but much thicker like a brick wall" as she stares intentially at her.
The nekomata woman then says "Greetings travelers, my name is Rose Schrodinger, i'll be your host in your visitation, but first i'll need my partner to come out from under you all" pointing at the now crouching Zamiel.
Venelana then looks at him and says "Why Zamiel, are you afraid?!" forming an unseen grin of malice intent as he replies "N-no, just dropped my contacts" as he gets to his feet and steps towards his wife.
Rose then lowers her eyelids while still smiling and says "Step a little closer dear, I got something I need to ask you in your ear" as he silently and quickly complies with visible sweat.
Zamiel then stands face to face with the shorter 5'6 woman and says "Look honey I know your ma-" but Rose puts a finger on his lips and says "Shh, you hear that" as silence looms over them, making the others tense up in reaction.
He then asks gulping "Umm, hear what dea- aaah!" as he feels a sharp pain in his side, revealing her holding a red blade in his stomach.
She then says in a whisper "That's what I was listening for, the sound of a man who will be my bitch for the rest of the day" as she begins to shank him with lightspeed.
As they all bear witness to the attack, Rose then grabs him by the face and kisses him and immediately hits him with her knee, followed up with getting his face grind against the ground as it cracks & quakes beneath.
Issei then says "Damn, she's kicking his ass, should we um do something?" and Venelana says "You don't want to do that, I know the power of that woman and trust me when I say Zamiel here, is getting it rather easy" as they see Rose slamming Zamiel heavily around by the legs.
Rose then throws Zamiel into the air and uses nearly blinding speed to fly up and punches him repeatedly higher in the air, and then catches him and says "You think I didn't know about the mess you caused again, and now you brung them to fix what you screwed up, sometimes you make me sick you nimrod of a husband!" as he slams her fist into his head, making him crash down.
Issei then shouts "EVERYBODY HIT THE DECK!" as they all move quickly out the way and catching each other from the huge impact of the crash.
Rose then lands behind a now crawling Zamiel and says "Your not even putting up a fight this time, no matter not like I can kill you but " as she creates a glowing spear in her hands and says in a deeper voice "Now i'm guessing you know where this is going right?" as she aims towards his backside and begins to thrust.
As Zamiel prepares for the worst, it is stopped by Zeoticus who says calmly "I think Zamiel's had enough, wouldn't you say Lady Rose" as she looks back in surprise at him.
Rose then lets go of the spear, chuckling slightly to say "Heh, still Little Mr. Saviour Zeoticus, I thought you were retired" as he replies "And your still the fierce Primordial Nekoshou as I remember, even managed to shut Zamiel up" as the two share a laugh.
Rose then says now facing the rest "Pardon that little squabble, my husband should know better than to drag others into this sort of thing, as you heard I am the source of all nekoshou, as well as your Ancestor" pointing at Koneko.
Koneko, surprised by the woman's great power, says "I thought you were a myth, I did alot of research on you and it said one day you just vanished" as Rose then raises a brow, causing Koneko to tense up a bit.
Rose then steps up to her and looks down to say "Your the one Kuroka spoke of, she didn't know about me until Dr. Osterman brung her to me after being pursued by our enemies, she's inside waiting for us with him" surprising the young nekomata.
Koneko then says "Kuroka...she's here?" and Rose replies with a smile "Yep, but try not to surprise her, she's still taken a back by the form of travel they used to get here".
Baraqiel, who had been listening quietly, asked "Who is this, Dr. Osterman? An ally?" and Rose says laughing "Well it's complicated, you'll meet him and find your answer, but come inside, we have much to discuss Bar Bar" causing Akeno slowly build up laughter.
Akeno says while now laughing louder "Bar Bar? Father is that the name she gave you?" and he says grudgingly "Yes, even though she promised never to use it again" darting eyes at Rose.
Azazel then nudges Baraqiel and says "Come on Bar Bar hahaha I'm never gonna let you live that down man wait'll the others hear about it" as they both walk towards two huge glittering doors.
As the group reaches the doors, they begin to open as they are greeted by a man with slicked back long Aqua colored hair and scales around what appear to be dragon eyes, adorning a slim butler's suit.
The man says in a Victorian accent "Welcome royals of the Earthly realms, I am Draciel, loyal servant of the Nothing King" as he bows and looks around and asks "Lady Rose, where is master Zamiel?" as she points to a crater behind them, revealing a slow moving Zamiel climbing out.
Zamiel says while catching up "Oh don't worry i'm fine, just got the shit kicked out of me nothing to it" as he appears to be healing fast.
Rose then says "Don't mind him big guy, just a lover's quarrel you know the usual stuff" as Draciel responds "I see, the dining room is prepared and I regret to inform you that Kate has gone to her business and won't be joining us, as for young Violet, she's currently remodeling her new quarters so she'll be joining us late"
Issei then hears a familiar voice as it says "Issei can you hear me, don't speak only nod " and he says "Ddraig, man you've been quiet this whole time, what's up".
Ddraig then continues "Quiet, After days of examination, I have to inform you to be on your guard at all times, they all hold an unseen power that goes beyond everything I know especially Zamiel who's shown none of it, should they decide to use it against us, we will be eliminated with a single thought" shocking him as he nods staring at them.
Vali then steps next to Issei and says "I'm guessing you got the message as well from your dragon?" as he replies "Yeah, but what does it mean for us now, I mean don't get me wrong I have loads of confidence but, how can any of us match up to these powerhouses, and not to mention we're up against an evil Rias who destroyed a place none of my friends knew about until a few days ago, an according to Mr. Z, Rias stood absolutely no chance against her evil self if she tried to face her, which makes me question our true involvement".
Vali then look at him in surprise and says "That's rather observant even for you but if what we know now is true, we'll up against God in his prime, you sure your strong enough to see this through?" as Issei replies "Hell yeah, anyone who tries to hurt my friends is in for a beating, besides I still gotta be the Harem King" as Vali looks ahead of them.
They all then walk through a large luxurious room that looks to be designed with glittering dark blue wallpaper, and a pink illuminscent floor, and then a door automatically opens for them as they are greeted with a large dining room with several courses of food on it.
Draciel then beckons his hand for everyone to be seated, to which they comply as each of them takes a seat as he says to them "Enjoy the meal to your greatest delights, for there are none like it in any other universe" as he then disappears in the blink of an eye.
Asia says in amazement "Wow! There's alot of food here, most of it i've never seen before" and Rose says to the girl "Yup, all of it was gathered by me, took a bit to find fresh leviathan meat but I went to Neptune and there it was" pointing to a platter with a huge fillet on it.
Serafall winced at the mention of it and said "Please tell me your kidding" and Rose said "No jokes, but this leviathan isn't like you, this was an Neptunian beast and if it had matured the galaxy would be destroyed by it so I did everyone a favor, so please enjoy yourselves" as the youthful Devil began to eat with uncertainty.
They all then began picking out food in front of them, most of them with shocked & pleased reactions, other with contented reactions.
Xenovia then says in delight "Wow, these dishes are truly amazing, what do you call this green one" pointing at a huge chunk of roasted meat surrounded in glistening mushroom like items.
Zamiel then says "I see you like the Argent D'Nur roast, a true delicacy here on Neiosha" as he drinks a glass of water, but unbeknowst to him others had stopped eating in mention of it.
Sirzechs, now staring mortified asked "Wait, Argent D'Nur, as in primal demon?!" and Zamiel says "Um yeah, now sirzey don't freak out, they weren't related to your kind so lets just enjoy o-" as a blast of lightning grazes his face revealing to have come from Akeno, standing along side other devils.
Grayfia then speaks up saying "That's all we needed to hear, related or not demons don't eat each other no matter what, now tell us your true intentions now or be destroyed" as everyone then stands to fight.
As they stare him down, they soon find themselves overwhelmed by an unseen force as Kiba says gripping his sword "What...is this..I can't move my body" and everyone else notices the same, with the exception of Ophis who remains seated with Raynare across from her.
They all then turn their faces to Rose, who's eyes glowed deep blue as he said in a booming deep voice "Listen and good, alot of love was put into this meal so everyone behave or you won't be getting out in one piece, UNDERSTAND IS THAT CLEAR TO ALL OF YOU?!" as they respond in unison "Yes Ma'am" and immediately sit back down.
Issei then whispers to Azazel next to him "Don't be worried but Ddraig sort of warned me about this sort of thing but, that was legitimately terrifying to see proof of what he meant" and he replies "You don't know how right you are, believe or not after discovering Trihexa's existence during the 1st reset, she alone made the beast flee in fear and you really don't wanna know how we saw it on surveilence" as they sweat in fear.
Zamiel then says to Rose "Well I suppose they're right, high time they knew why I really involved them" as he straightens himself up wiping his face of crumbs.
Zamiel then says "As you know, an evil Rias known as Davina pursues us for God, but I brought you here is because as you saw she would have destroyed you all at your current level, hence why I kidnapped you, and now I wish to give you a way to reach your true limits" as they listen and nod without questioning.
Sirzechs then interjects "That still leaves the question how is powerful has she become?" as Zamiel says "Believe it or not, not even I know what she's fully capable of now, but I know someone who might, you can introduce yourself now Doctor" as he beckons another dark skinned man wearing a navy blue suit and tie, now appearing suddenly in a seat at the table.
The man then says "Very well, most of you may not know me in my current form, my name is Jon Osterman, but my home universe calls me Dr. Manhattan" as they begin to examine the newcomer.
Issei then shouts in awe "Wait you're...real?!Dude this can't be, how is this even happening?!" as Jon says "Indeed, here in this universe I was merely a comic character, but after the death of the Dark Lords of Chaos, my particles were blasted here by the completion of Yahweh".
Issei then says "Ok that makes sense I guess, I don't even what's what anymore this is a huge strain on my- Ohh ohhh~" as he feels a sudden sensation of Euphoria.
Jon then says "I figured your dolphamine fluid needed adjusting so I did the liberty of relaxing your stress" as Irina says "Whoa, you can do that without moving?" as Jon says "Technically millions of microscopic versions of myself are at work in his brain" as her jaw drops in amazement.
Rose then chuckles and says "Jon you always had a knack for over explaining things but if we may move on to the matter at hand" as she stare with a smile.
Jon then clears his throat and says "Very well, in all my time of existing, no threat has ever caused me to act physically, I now stand here to say to the youth present, that the training you will receive in the morning will most assuredly prepare you for the crisis, though I warn you, the training will change you in ways you all can't comprehend, not even I can forsee what happens next
Baraqiel then says in concern "What matter of training are you planning?" as Jon replies "That is for them to find out, for the rest of you will have other tasks that must be dealt with all the while" as Baraqiel stares sternly at Jon.
Zamiel then speaks up "Until then, know that you'll be in training groups, the dragon emperors will be with Draciel, Kiba Koneko Xenovia and Irina will be with my wife Rose, Rias Akeno and Ophis will be with me, and lastly Asia and Raynare will train with my daughter who is once again late for dinner, any questions?"
Ophis, who had been silently sitting shouts "Why these suspicious pairings? I can only remember you doing this when it was for some type of game so talk"
Zamiel sighs with a smile "Ah, you are warming up to me again daughter I knew you would, but as for the pairings we've based them on what you all lack and don't ask what it is because I warn you the answer isn't pleasing and it's best to let your training show you"
Ophis then says lowly "Hmm? Fine but I am watching you" pointing angrily at him and faces away from a waving Rose saying "And stop pretending your my mom!" shouting at nekomata god.
Issei says in shock "Wait! Rose isn't your mom then who is?" as Rose drops her glass of wine as the room goes silent, causing everyone to stare at each other in anticipation.
Zamiel then faces down "We um, don't talk about that around here, it's one memory I dare not speak of, but nonetheless it's a story for another time, Jon meet us here at the half rise of the white star, we will start then"
Rose then says to everyone "Also draciel will show you to your chambers, don't mind the occasional color changes, this home does that as it is wired by a melded hive mind" as Rias says "Umm ok then, not the strangest thing i've seen since all this started" .
Draciel then walks in the room beckoning a line of glowing purple glittered skinned feminine humanoid beings with star painted eyes as everyone looks at them, he then states "They will clean your plates and show you to your living spaces, may your stay here be a well rested one" as everyone stands.
Once the matter of cleaning was quickly done, everyone is shown to their spaces as Rias enters her room to see a bed surrounded by a giant dim lit circular pond as two fish with no eyes swim in it, as she stares in awe of the sight.
She then notices a window allowing her to see clearly into space as she views an immense planet nearby glowing like a moon and says to herself "Well Rias, you've gotten yourself in a bizarre journey this time haven't you?" as another female voice says from behind "You don't know the half of it Rias"
Rias then grows cold as she quickly turns around and readies herself for a fight but freezes in internal fear when she sees that the voice is revealed to be Davina, standing 2 feet away with a serious look.
Davina then says coldly "Make a move and i'll have everyone here tear the flesh from their bodies for my amusement, now what'll it be, will you submit to my power or will I have to give an impudent girl a bloody bottom" as Rias trembles but remains calm.
Rias then says quietly "Why are you here? How did you get here?" as Davina walks up to her and caresses Rias from behind, holding her waist tightly and looming a few inches taller than her counterpart.
Davina then says "We need to talk, primarily concerning what Zamiel exactly is, I think it's time you see the truth for yourself on what really went down when I became who I am today, now come with me and know the true enemy" as a shadow envelopes them, leaving the room empty.
A/N: I know it's been a while, dealing with life matters but I leave you with this extensive chapter to enjoy, next chapter will arrive soon so stick for more of the story :)
