Welp, I'm back and sorry for the long wait, but school is getting busy now since we're at the end of the year. Also for those of you that are reading 'Switch' the update for that one will take a little longer. I'm having a block for that one.
Now the reviews!
bronsonsimmerman: Yes she is going to have missions. I'm thinking about what to do with familiars
Alright, now this is probably one of the longer chapters out of all of them so I hope you all enjoy!
-Misaki-
Azazel looked at me, and it was silent. I fidgeted under his gaze. Once again I was training with him. The Fallen Angel carried a silver briefcase as I met up with him again.
I could feel power radiating from it, or at least whatever was inside of it. I was almost a little scared to touch it.
"Boo!"
I yelped as Azazel pretended to throw the suitcase at me, just to break my concentration on the thing. The man let out a laugh, I glared at him, as a small red blush formed on my cheeks from embarrassment.
"Since you haven't found Cerberus yet, I decided, being the nice teacher I am, that I'll help you out once more with a weapon," Azazel spoke,"Treat these carefully, and do not lose them. These took a while to unseal, and it was difficult hiding their power without anyone noticing."
I nodded.
"Those weapons...they couldn't be could they?" I heard Aeron speak with a noise of surprise.
"You've seen these before?" I asked him.
"Yes...I faintly remember now," He began,"All those years ago..." That's when he began to explain what he could. From what I could tell, these guns definitely earned their name.
To be truly honest, I was kind of afraid of what would happen if I opened the briefcase. I didn't want to have something jump out at me.
An annoyed groan came from Azazel,"Are you going to open it or what? Or do you want me to do it?"
I gave the man a look,"I'll do it...just chill for a second." I touched the buckle holding it closed, and as soon as I lifted it, I backed away just a bit. I couldn't be too sure on what was in there. But after a small moment, nothing happened.
Zero, zilch, nada.
I lifted the cover, and I expected something else, not these.
They were revolvers. I remember doing a project for Social Studies, we could pick a topic out of a basket, I don't remember what it was exactly but I had researched some extra things which I gave to Issei since I didn't need them and he still needed some sources.
Four guns in total and I wasn't an expert on guns or anything that had to do with weapons, but to me, they looked amazing.
Samuel Colt invented these kinds of guns, or at least from what I read he did, and these weapons helped people defend themselves from wild animals or even people as they moved to unknown parts of land. That was what made them famous, since guns way back then only had one shot, and each time had to be refilled with gun powder and all that. Which in itself, could take a long time.
The four guns in front of me were black, covered with gold markings, the opening of the barrel was gold as well. I began to faintly trace my fingers over the golden markings, the details were amazing. I personally could only wonder how much time whoever made these put into them. The grips were gold also, having markings similar to the ones the barrel had. On the end, a small charm was attached to it. The guns also had jewels embedded into the cylinder of the weapon, well weapons in this case.
The first one I picked up I held in my right hand, it had a bright ruby as a jewel. The one I picked up with my left hand held a topaz.
There was another pair, and I wasn't sure where they were supposed to go, and I knew I couldn't grow another pair of arms either. The one on the right of the second pair had a emerald attached instead. The revolver on the left had similar shaped jewels like the other three, but these were diamonds, but I swear they looked more white than transparent.
"So what do you think?" Azazel asked sounding smug.
I blinked, looking at the guns then to Azazel, then back to the guns,"Well, they look heavy."
He rolled his eyes,"...and?"
"They're colorful...?" I said it more like a question instead of an actual statement,"Also, what do I do with the extra pair?"
He grinned,"You put them on your feet."
Blinking, I looked from the second pair, then to Azazel, and then back to the second pair. "You completely lost me." I said as I raised an eyebrow, looking towards my shoes and they were just flats,"How do you expect me to put that," I pointed at the guns that weren't in my hands,"Onto these?" I motioned towards my sneakers.
"With these," He answered, he somehow brought out these plain brown ankle boots, which looked normal and totally harmless.
What I noticed is at the heel part. These ankle boots had a small heels so they weren't that long. They also had a gap where I'm guessing the guns would go. So I grabbed them, placing the guns down and changing my shoes.
-Azazel-
Like I guessed earlier, the weapons had recognized their true wielder. These guns couldn't be wielded by just anybody, trust me, I've tried to do it and it was painful.
I learned that the Left Eye, well the very first, had created these weapons as an intended gift. To make sure that peace would be kept between the Left Eye and the Right Eye. However, a disciple of the Left Eye had taken the guns, and attempted to kill the Right Eye, to prove their Master was the strongest. Although it did not turn out well at all.
When the their true powers truly came out, that's when my faction, the Angels, and the Devils learned, we were all genuinely screwed. Thankfully the battle ended, but with both Overseers dead from overexertion.
Things got more chaotic after that. The Three of us factions were barely recovering from the battle between the Two Heavenly Dragons, the battle and deaths of the Overseers just added icing to the cake. Which is why I took it upon myself to help any of the Eyes I managed to come across, I didn't want them to mistrust me for what some of my people would to do their past selves.
"Well at least these shoes aren't that bad," Misaki spoke, getting my attention.
Instead of her old shoes, she now had the boots(along with the revolvers). The other pair she already had in her hands. Now that I looked at her, she wasn't dressed for any kind of physical training. More like going out around the town.
"I'm sure you'd like to know why the Eyes are now enemies, don't you? I'm sure your Sacred Gear gave you the gist of it, but then again, you told me that they didn't remember much either."
Once I saw her blink in curiosity, I knew it was now story time. Clearing my throat, I looked at her once more,"Well began with two former friends."
-Rias-
I held the book I was reading tightly in my hands. At first, I couldn't believe I let what the Fallen Angel said get to me, when I rescued my adorable pawn that night.
"The Left Eye is no longer in the Devil's grasp." Then the Fallen Angel simply flew away after that. I was so concerned with Issei's well being, I didn't pay it anymind. Thankfully, the clubroom had a large library, I just needed to find a certain book. I couldn't believe I forgot all about this!
When I finally reached the book, the cover had a sun and a moon, attached to each other. Then I flipped through the pages, until reaching the middle section. That's when I began to read.
"Long since erased from the records of time, there once existed two European clans who served as overseers of history for the powers that be: The Umbra Witches, dwellers of the darkness, and the Lumen Sages, controllers of the light. Each clan had served the Left or Right Eye, who had separated from each other during the Great War. The Left Eye had sympathized with the Devils while the Right Eye had served under God and the Angels. The Umbra Witches obviously followed the Left Eye, and the Sages the Right. The clans paid each other great respect, and their efforts to maintain the balance between them defended the passage of time."
Next to the text there was a picture split in two by a vertical line. A group of women stood on the left side of the picture, and in front of them stood a person covered in dark colored robes, their eyes covered by a mask. Their left eye had glowed crimson. On the right side of the picture, stood a group of men. They wore white robes and gold markings. The one leading them wore a similar outfit except it looked more suited for battle. Their right eye glowed blue.
"Yet one day that balanced was toppled. One of the witches, had taken the weapons that the Left Eye had originally created as a peace offering to their holy counterpart. They attempted to assassinate the Right Eye, and were only successful in killing a Sage. But this was taken as an act of war."
Another picture showed one of the witches, holding a pair of black and gold revolvers, aiming at the Right Eye but a sage went in front, taking the blow instead.
I flipped the page and continued reading.
"The once harmonious clans fell into disagreement and stoked the flames of hatred against each other, resulting in an era of strife. The conflict between them threw all of Europe into a chaotic loop of battle, ambush assassination, and casualty. It was truly a gruesome war."
-Misaki-
My eyes were wide and I looked down at my hands. I could feel them shaking. As Azazel reached over to place a hand over my shoulder, I shied away from him.
He stood there quietly, giving me some time to think about what he just told me, and from what I learned, whoever had the Left Eye, turned out to be a horrible person. It scared me. Especially with how quickly they could change for the worst.
"You'll be nothing like them," I heard Aeron speak in a comforting tone.
"How..How do you know that?"
"Because unlike them," Aeron began,"You have a good heart."
I couldn't help but let a small smile go on my face, I found my sacred gear's words reassuring in a way.
-Issei-
With Koneko-chan and Kiba behind me, I found myself running in the direction of the church.
I didn't know if this was how fast I really was, or if it was the fear of Asia getting hurt flowing through me.
But either way I was sprinting.
I just hoped I was on time.
-Rias-
Hopefully my adorable kouhai listened to my advice about Promotion. Because I knew that he had grown enough to be able to defeat these pesky fallen angels. But for now, I had three pests I had to take care off.
Akeno stood beside me, and I crossed my arms, a look of annoyance written across my features. All those three were doing were just throwing their Light Spears left and right.
"It's surprising that you devils always send out your little foot soldiers first," The little blonde one spoke, Mittelt was her name.
The second female scoffed, brushing her dark colored locks behind her shoulders,"They just waste their pieces."
Akeno let out a small giggle,"Ara ara, Buchou has never once thrown away any of her servants. We're a family after all." I smiled at that.
The Fallen Angel wearing the trench coat, Dohnaseek, spoke up next,"You speak highly of them, clearly you have strong slaves in your service. Even so, they are nothing compared to Raynare-sama."
"I heard about him," Mittelt spoke with a laugh as she flew up into the air,"It was so pathetic."
Dohnaseek laughed out loud, much to my annoyance,"Just mentioning the story makes me burst with laughter!"
"Well I've had enough of you and your slave!" The long haired woman spoke, and the three simultaneously threw their Light Spears once more.
Make fun of me all you want...
But now, they've just crossed the line! I knew I shouldn't have acted so rashly but I couldn't help it!
"Ara Ara, looks like you bunch picked the wrong person to piss off," Akeno spoke with a closed eyed smile,"You poor fools."
As I released my Power Of Destruction, I heard the roar of a cheetah.
Woo finally done with the chapter! So updates will be slower because like I said, school is getting busier. But I'll try my best.
Also, does anyone have any advice about public speaking? That's gonna be one of my grades for the end of the year? I'm getting nervous thinking about it (~)
Until next time friends!
