I do not own Highschool DxD, just this fanfic.
"I came here to take you away, my little sister." A beautiful lady said while sitting on a tree branch, "I was in a dire situation and had no choice but to leave you behind."
I just watch Koneko frown in depression and wrath, not knowing that Kuroka's stress levels are above the roof and her heart is anything but calm.
In all honestly, I didn't know how the hell Vali's team became allies in the third season. But I really feel like there is more to the relationship of these two then meets the eyes.
Betrayal, Heartbreak, and Trauma. Things that are handed to Issei to solve and grow his harem, anyone who watched enough episodes of DxD will know that Kuroka will be part of the roster.
It was of course sometimes cheesy, especially how Issei solves said problems, but if anything in this life, it is nothing but a tragedy.
Two sisters are torn due to the abuse of Devil Society, one of the many reasons why I frown on the very late realization of the Satans on what the hell is going on in their community.
However, as much as I hate seeing this stare-down going on and pity the catgirl, I need to know.
"Are you not going to do anything about the hiding rats, Kuroka?" Bikou said as he lazily landed to the ground. "Come out now!"
Then low and behold Rias and Issei revealed themselves.
"How?" Issei asked
"We are masters of sage arts and we can sense everything because of our Ki." Bikou boastfully said, "there is no use on hiding from us."
They continued to banter as I relaxed on a tree not far from them.
"Kuroka-nee-chan, I will go with you if you leave them alone." Koneko shakily says
"Koneko-chan!" Issei yelled
"No! You cannot fight her, she…" then Koneko looked at Kuroka as her fight and flight hormones are firing at an explosive rate. "She…"
Kuroka smiled smugly and snapped her fingers.
A unique barrier appeared soaked in malicious energy.
"Scanning her now." Valerie stiffly says.
"She…" Koneko repeated, but this time she was locked in places as she began to shake.
*ROAR!*
"Tanin Sensei!" Issei yelled as a dragon appeared in the sky.
"Huh, so that is why you called Ddraig?" The dragon asked
"Hohohoho." Bikou said excitedly, "The Former Dragon King is here!"
"Do you want to fight him?" Kuroka asked, "Go have fun~"
And with a silent command, Bikou summoned a cloud and rode on it to the sky meeting Tanin.
Tanin released a spout of fire at Bikou, but even when he was consumed by the fire, he flew out of it with no harm at all.
"Is that all you got Former Dragon King?!"
"Son Goku, a worthy opponent!"
Back on the ground, Issei got into a battle stance in front of Koneko, "We are going home Koneko-chan! Together! Boosted Gear!"
The red gauntlet appeared but it did not activate.
"Huh? Looks like the Drago-" Kuroka tried to taunt, but Issei charged forward with a surprising burst of speed.
Kuroka jumped out of the way of a scaled fist smashing into the ground.
"Huh, still in hibernation mode, hatchling?" Tanin said while flying over the forest.
"I know!" Issei said in some frustration as he chased Kuroka, "but I gotta do what a senpai gotta do to protect his kohai!"
Koneko and Rias just stood in awe, but the thing is, they just told there in awe!
After a moment, when summoned Ki clones to surround Issei did they engage and fought with vigor.
Maybe seeing the once weakest link of the peerage charging on without fear to a SSS Class Stray inspired them to go beyond, but I can now say in full confidence, that Koneko and Rias are disappointing.
Blunt? Yes. Unfair, sort of.
Kuroka effortlessly fires Ki bullets and demonic spells at the Trio with Issei at the vanguard. Even without his balance breaker, he was able to cut the distance with Kuroka and landed a strike on her, the only catch was that Issei struck a Ki clone of her.
Koneko was trying her very best to fight at the same level as Issei, but she is regrettably slower, and Rias just keep spamming her magic. The Baal's magic destroyed trees, rocks, and soil but none of it touched the Ki clones as they fought with agility and dexterity.
Ki bullets smacked Issei bringing him so much pain, but like the juggernaut he is he charged forward like nothing happened.
"Fufufufufu~ What a little dumb dragon~" a Kuroka clone mocked
"Saji's fire hurts more than this!" Issei replies back as he continuously brawls with Ki clones as they disappear one by one.
While this was going on, I felt an enormous amount of power unleash on the sky itself heated up for just a bit.
It was not the Former Dragon's King's doing, as I observed the fight in the sky a classical mythical dragon fighting a warrior on a cloud.
He is obviously holding back to minimize collateral damage as he relied on his physical combat prowess than his legendary flames.
No, it is a more familiar power.
Holy Power.
I observed the building where the party was held and smelled the holy radiance coming from it as if the building was the Vatican. And we are hell.
Later, another form of magic and power exploded in response to the holy power, but it was not demonic, but… something else. The building was soaked in magic in one point, then in another, it all vanished.
Loki?
"Bachou!" Issei screamed, "let me poke your nipples!"
Hee~ it is happening
"I am very glad that Gasper is a femboy and not an actual girl," Valerie said in disgust.
And then the extremely important moment where Issei will poke the nipple of his master was about to happen. With a massive blush, Rias plopped out her oppai and oh my.
As a former boy, noice.
As a girl, how?
And as a doctor and as a scientist.
I am really feeling that the logic of this world is that the more powerful you are, the sexier you become.
"Asia, Sona is not impressive." Valarie deadpanned
Hey, I have seen priests in training checking her legs out when she jogged with them back at home.
"Like how they look at you?~"
S-Shut up!
"Sensei! Which nipple should I poke?!"
"JUST POKE ANY OF THEM!"
I snicker with Valarie on the exchange of the dragons, but Issei finally made up his mind and poked both.
Power, unadulterated power released from the pervert as a crimson aura burst!
Scales formed on his skin as they slowly formed into a red dragon armor
"Finally!" The Former Dragon King exclaimed
The burst of aura was strong enough to cancel out all Ki clones, presenting the real Kuroka not so far from Koneko.
And in the clap of the wind, Issei was in front of the stray devil shocking her in place.
"Never hurt my kohai!" the dragon exclaimed.
"My, my. Quite chivalrous, isn't he?" Valarie commented
And with that comment, a knight appeared by slicing a portal open. Arthur Pendragon stepped into hell with a poise of a gentleman.
"Kuroka, Bikou it is time to-" he didn't get to finish it as a shadow cast over him. A giant boulder was inches away from his head as he only got a small window to slice it into two.
The boulder spit as everyone was shocked how on the earth a giant rock just appeared on top of the gentleman without anyone noticing.
BAM!
Too shocked to even notice the blonde figure throwing a 380-back kick into Arthur's back and launching him away from the field.
"W-what?!" Kuroka stuttered, "HOW THE HELL DID SHE GET HERE?! WHEN DID SHE GET HERE?! I DIDN'T EVEN DETECT HER?!"
I heard Kuroka's pride get crushed as I chased the flying gentleman in the air. As I closed in, I dodge a sword strike and with the same momentum used a 540 back kick and aimed at his abdomen.
He blocked it with the flat of his blade but was again launched to multiple trees. Break hardwood and twigs as he landed roughly on the ground.
He gracefully got on his feet as I landed a few feet from him.
"Good day, Arthur."
"Asia Argento, I presume." He said
"The one and only." I replied, "bringing a legendary Holy Sword to this territory can bring too much trouble for you."
He raised Caliburn in a defensive stance. The sword looks like a Viking claymore than a British long sword with how long and thick it is. But again, magic swords in this world are always bigger and out worldly than normal.
The current Strongest Holy Sword slowly charged its power as I charged my Sacred Fist Technique.
"And are you policing this territory?" He asked
"No," I simply replied, "I am here to train, and you Sir are my sparring partner."
I unleashed my regular touki.
"Truly?" Arthur asked, "shall this be a moment to be remembered? The Holy Sword vs a Holy Saint in Hell?"
Suddenly, he swung his blade into the air. I was expecting an arc of golden light, but instead, I saw the fabric of space got cut and felt extreme pain on my abdomen.
My gear automatically activated and healed a cut that slide most of my internal organs.
"Truly impressive." Arthur said, "only –" he stopped another boulder sent to him by slicing it into two.
A shadow cast over him when the boulder broke as he looked up without surprise.
"Huahhhh!" from above I threw an axe kick at him.
He raised his blade and blocked my kick with the flat of his sword as the wind clapped and the ground cracked.
Immediately I twisted and used my other foot and kicked him in the chest.
He didn't get to block it and coughed in pain, but with a simple move, he points his sword at me and thrust.
I backhand the blade away from me, but I was greeted by a smack of the pummel the blade to my face.
My hand caught the ground I swept his legs making him fall. He anticipated it and steadied himself, but with a burst of touki, I instantly grapple him in a choke.
"Not used to MMA, huh Sir Knight?"
I could feel his heart rate racing as Arthur struggled for a bit. I saw him grip his sword and swing at nothing.
But I immediately felt a deep cut on my back which was currently laying down on the ground.
My gear immediately healed it, but Arthur continuously swung at nothing as more cuts appeared on my back.
My gear healed my back repeatedly without fail, but the pain and the feeling of my spine turning into two is not pleasant at all making me lose my grip sometimes
"AHHHGHGGHG!"
"ARR! *choke* arh."
The contest on who will give out continued as we both tortured each other for what felt like an eternity.
Blood and sweat start to pool under us as we both slowly kill each other. My gear said he is now suffering organ damage due to the lack of oxygen and told me that I should be paralyzed 50 times over by now.
Taking a very deep breath and gathering all of God's energy in hell, I did I mighty pull on his neck which made him even more frantic with his sword. The pain got worst but I grit it through.
Suddenly I felt the greatest pain I have ever felt as every cell of my body was invaded by a foreign energy. Millions of tiny bombs exploded in my body as I completely lost myself in pain.
"God's Breath! Asia use God's Breath!" I heard Valarie panic and I did as told.
"Hmmm, interesting." I saw Kuroka beside Bikou carrying an unconscious Arthur with his sword, "That is some interesting Ki you got their Saint Asia~"
Although she sounded smug, she looked alarmed, and Bikou too.
I smiled smugly.
Kuroka summoned a portal and stepped into it with Bikou as they disappeared along with the barrier.
"QUITE IDIOTIC FOR YOU TO DO THAT!" Valarie ranted to me as she appeared and shock my body, even though she just phases through.
"I wanted to see," I said
"See?"
"See how far they improved."
Valarie looked at me for a moment before sighing, "if they were different from the story you watched?"
"Yeah." I said, "and Vali bragged that everyone is working harder now."
I sat up and looked at the figures of devils, angels, and three human beings running to the scene.
"So far I am both impressed and disappointed."
"So, Arthur couldn't slice space itself before?"
"He could make teleportation moves, but turning it into an attack? I am not sure, again I only watched Season 1 to 4."
"But considering that the blade could slice space, I think it ought to be a basic move, like how Excalibur Blessing can boost spells."
"True." I said as the figures finally arrived.
"Asia!" I saw Irina and Sona run up to me.
"I am also impressed by Issei's growth." I mentally said as Valerie remained quiet, but I felt her eyeroll.
As Irina and Sona kneeled before me and began questioning me, "So what is the case of Kuroka?" I asked Valerie
"She has total mastery of her demonic energies from her Strayed Bishop Piece." I felt hesitation, "if anything, I think she is embracing the corruption like how she is doing it with the backlash of Senjutsu… I couldn't tell any further."
I scanned myself, and I perked in surprise. "Demonic energy?"
"I know right?" Valerie said as something that has not been done before is lingering in my cells.
But considering that this place is DxD, and nipple poking was a tested and proven technique, any magic, curse, or Miracle can happen.
