Issei, Yuuto and Koneko had reached the inner sanctum of the church. They find themselves standing in front of a group of priests, they also find Asia, in the middle of some sort of ritual. Just as the priests begin to attack, the Fallen Angel, Raynare speaks.
"You're too late, it doesn't matter what you do anymore! This is the power I've been looking for!"
A light begins to shine as it was ripped out of from Asia's chest. It was her Sacred Gear. Raynare holds out her hands as the Sacred Gear floats down to her hands.
"This is it! The moment I've been waiting for! With this Sacred Gear, I can finally-" Raynare was suddenly interrupted when a chain lashed out from the darkness and smashed through the bonds holding Asia up, then snatched the Sacred Gear and disappeared into the darkness.
"WHAT?!" Raynare screams. It was at this moment the priests began to attack, Yuuto and Koneko held them off.
"Don't worry about us Issei, we'll hold them off, you go get Asia." Yuuto said.
"Thank you!" Issei said, he runs toward Asia.
"What is this farce?! Where is the Sacred Gear!" Raynare yells, throwing a fit of rage.
"I don't know and I couldn't care less!" Issei took this chance to use his Sacred Gear, boosting his strength, he gave her a clean punch in the face, knocking her away. Issei picks Asia up.
"Asia! Are you okay?!" Issei says.
"Issei! We need to get out of here!" Yuuto calls out, they were surrounded and outnumbered by priests, so they make there way towards the door. Issei runs, priests start to come after him but they were stopped by both Yuuto and Koneko.
"Run for it! We'll cover things here for you, so go!" Yuuto said. "Leave it to us!"
"Hurry and run." Koneko said.
Issei grits his teeth and runs back to the secret passage. He lays Asia down.
"Hang on, Asia..."
Unbeknowst to everyone, Nathan was hiding in the darkness in his Hellspawn uniform, perched atop a support beam and had been watching the show so far. He was going to just slaughter everyone but then he witnessed the Devils arriving and took a stealthy approach to see how they do. It appears the brown-haired boy had some kind of friendship for the nun, so perhaps... not all Devils were as bad as he believed them to be.
He still hated them though.
"So this is what this is all about." Nathan muttered as he looked at the three glowing rings in his hand. "Capable of healing any wound... I could see why it would be a desired power, but it doesn't seem that powerful. Now, time to finish this and get what I have come for."
Issei had just taken Raynare down. She was still enraged about the Sacred Gear suddenly disappearing and her anger became her ultimate downfall. Issei took advantaged of her this with his own anger surprisingly, although, he didn't come out unscathed. But there still laid one question, where was Asia's Sacred Gear? Issei was too busy with Asia's condition that he just forgot about it until now. If Raynare didn't have it, then what happened?
Issei goes to Asia where she still laid. He kneels.
"I'm sorry Asia... I couldn't protect you..."
Suddenly, Issei feels someone grab his shoulder. It was Yuuto,
"Well done, beating a Fallen Angel on your own is no easy task, but also because Rias told you to not get in to way." He said and before Issei could even respond, Rias appears, saying...
"It's because I believed in you all along. And it looks like you won."
Koneko then came in, dragging along Raynare and a tall and buxom woman with brown eyes and long, navy blue hair that obscured her right eye.
Her attire consisted of a maroon, trenchcoat-like top with a wide collar, a matching miniskirt, and black heeled shoes. The trenchcoat top was open at her chest, giving view to her breasts and cleavage. She also wore a gold necklace around her neck. She appears to wear a white shirt underneath her top, but it can only be seen from the bottom.
"I brought the trash." Koneko said in her usual monotone voice as she dropped the two Fallen Angels at the feet of Rias.
"Nice to meet you Fallen Angel Raynare." Rias said with a smirk as Raynare looks up before she sees her friend beside her.
"Kala?" Raynare asked with worry, shaking her before looking up at Rias. "You're the daughter of the Gremory clan?!"
"So pleased to make your acquaintance... although I'm sure we won't know each other for much longer. And also... your other two friends who came to greet me - I sent them flying away."
Raynare looks at Rias in shock as she holds up feathers and dropping them right in front of her.
"'Sent them flying away'?" Issei questioned.
"Buchou is the Red Haired Ruin Princess. She's an assassin." Yuuto said.
"Assassin? Looks like I got more than I bargained for, in my master." Issei said.
"A daughter of Gremory... how dare you...!" Raynare said.
"Ever since you targeted Issei, we got wind of a Fallen Angel plot in play in this city. If only you hadn't interfered with us, I would have let you be." Rias said.
"Buchou, does this mean you did this for me?" Issei said.
Rias turns her head toward Issei, then notices a change in Issei Sacred Gear.
"Issei...That Sacred Gear..."
"Oh, yeah, it changed shape suddenly."
"Wow, and so young. Yes. I see. That's what happened." Rias said, then turning to Raynare. "Fallen Angel Raynare. Issei Hyoudou's Sacred Gear was not just a simple Twice Critical."
"What?" Raynare said.
"It can increase its wielders power immeasurably for just ten seconds to the point where even a god could be destroyed. It's one of the thirteen Longinus Gears. The crimson emperor dragon's gauntlet, the Boosted Gear."
Raynare, shocked, was unable to say anything.
"No matter how powerful it is, it needs time to power up, so it's no almighty. It's because your opponent let her guard down, you won. And now you will disappear, Fallen Angel."
"Issei." It was then, Raynare changed her appearance, in a last resort attempt to save herself.
Issei's eyes widen.
"Help me. I might've said all that, but as a Fallen Angel I had no choice but to do what I did!"
"Yuuma..."
"See?" Raynare lifts a hand to show Issei the item he got for her. "As proof, I didn't throw this away! You remember, don't you? You bought this for me." She pleads, with tears in her eyes.
"Why do you still have that?" Issei said as his eyes shadowed.
"I just couldn't part with it! I mean... you gave it..."
Yuuto and Koneko went to stop this but Rias stopped them.
"Please save me! Issei!"
"How far will you go...? Buchou, please do it." Issei said as Rias steps forward with the power of destruction ready in her hand to blow both Raynare and Kalawarner away. Raynare's face turned into sheer fear and she clutched her unconsious friend's hand tightly.
But before Rias could say anything, a gunshot went off and a bullet struck the ground between the Devils and the Fallen Angels. Rias quickly stepped away.
"Buchou!" Kiba, Koneko and Issei shout. They readied in their fighting stance.
"They are not yours to kill..." A voice said from the darkness before Nathan stepped out of the shadows in his Hellspawn uniform, his cape billowing.
"You!" Kiba said.
Rias' eyes narrow. "What is the meaning of this, Hellspawn?!"
"I don't answer to you... and I'm here for the two Fallen Angels youw ere about to murder." Nathan said uncaringly as he pointed to said Fallen Angels. Raynare's eyes widened. She of course knew the stories about the infamous Hellspawn who turned from Hell and slayed Malebolgia.
"This doesn't concern you. I suggest you leave now." Rias said with a serious tone.
"And I suggest you fuck off." Nathan retorted. "My client wants them alive. Whatever he does to them afterwards is none of my concern or nor do I really care. I'm only in it for the money. So get the hell out of my way."
Rias raised an eyebrow. "And if we don't?"
Nathan's eyes narrowed and his fists clenched. He would like nothing more than to just kill them and be done with it, but that may cause him future problems that he doesn't want to deal with right now. Instead, he opened his right hand and revealed Asia's Sacred Gear.
"That's... Asia's Sacred Gear!" Issei shouts.
"You...! You took it?!" Raynare said.
"I'll give you this useless thing... in exchange for the two Fallen Angels." Nathan said before his tone darkened. "Or we can see if a Devil can squeal like a pig for it's life. The choice is yours, Gremory. You'd be wise not to fuck with me."
"You'd be wise not to threaten me." Rias said arrogantly, hands in her shapely hips. "I'm the sister of-"
"I don't give a fuck who your brother is, I don't care if you are Princess of Hell, I'll still kill you if you piss me off." Nathan growled. "Now make your choice before I do for it."
Silence filled the room, Rias thought. This was a rather rare opportunity she could not afford to pass off. Although Asia may be dying, she could revive her then give her the Sacred Gear and she knew that the Hellspawn knew that. A powerful addition to her Peerage, Twilight Healing. This deal was just too good to deny. The Hellspawn was much smarter than Rias gave him credit for.
"What's the catch?" Rias said.
"No catch. This for the two Fallen Angels behind you... and you and your servants get t walk away with your lives." Nathan said. "What you do with this and the nun... I really don't care."
"You... have a deal..." Rias said, sounding like she was swallowing her pride.
"A wise choice." Nathan said, tossing the Sacred Gear to Issei then walked over to Raynare and Kalawarner, the former looking up at him in fear. Nathan stared down at her before he picked her up bridal style and had his cape do the same to Kalawarner.
"H-Hey! Hands!" Raynare shouted.
"Oh just shut up and be thankful you'll be living another night." Nathan said with a roll of his eyes as he leaves.
A couple ways away, Nathan was still carrying the Fallen Angels.
"Let me down! You pesty Hellspawn!"
Nathan did as she wanted and dropped her and Kalawarner, which caused the blue-haired bombshell to awaken.
"What happened...?" Kalawarner asked groggily before she opened her eyes and saw Raynare. "Raynare? What..." Her eyes widened when she saw the Hellspawn in front of her. "A Hellspawn?!"
"I see you finished the job." A voice said, causing them to turn and see a familiar man stepping out from the treeline.
"Azazel?!" Raynare and Kalawarner shouted in surprise.
"Raynare, Kalawarner." Azazel greeted them sternly, making them flinch. "What's this I hear about you disobeying my orders and killing the person I specifically assigned you to watch? Did I not make myself clear? You know that disobeying my orders is a big offence, should you be found, you'd be executed..."
"It's not like that Azazel! We received orders from Kokabielto kill Issei and then take the Twilight Healing! I never meant to disobey your orders!" Raynare pleaded.
"Kokabiel, huh...?" Azazel said. 'I'm gonna have to keep a more watchful eye and look into this...' He let out a sigh. "Well... since you were given orders from a higher up even without my knowledge, I won't do anything drastic. But, you both have now labeled yourselves as rogues, so you will not be able to return to the Grigori."
Raynare and Kalawarner were saddened at this. Though they were glad to still be alive, they were saddened to her they can't return to the place that is their home. They didn't have anything else. Mittelt and Dohnaseek were dead at Rias Gremory's hand.
Azazel then thought of something and grinned as he turned to the silence Hellspawn who had his arms crossed as he leaned against a tree.
"Hey, Spawny..."
Nathan gave him an annoyed look for the way he said his name. And he didn't like the look on the Fallen Angel's face.
"What?"
"I have another job for you." Azazel said with his grin widening.
"Would you be willing to look after these two?"
And I think I'll end it there. sorry there wasn't much in terms of action or anything. I'll try and make up for it.
