Chapter 15: The Dawn
AN: Yo! So I read the nice reviews and came to an idea. Usually I wouldn't reaaaally do this but with my current schedule I can do 2 stories. Since the whole Akeno omake is well received I came up with some ideas as to what I could do there, making a guy character reincarnate as her and all that gud shit. So I have ideas on how to tackle that so it isn't just.. The New Fallen but with Akeno. So here are the ideas for who the character would be before they reincarnate.
Proxy One. Or Ergo Proxy, really. I know this is a shot in the dark because Ergo Proxy is an anime that not many even know about. I encourage you to look it up if not watch it because there's a lot of deep messages in that anime and the journey is really cool. Plus the whole plan by Proxy one is just.. Hoo.. It'd be interesting writing him and blending Akeno's sadistic, sweet, flirty personality with his scheming, spiteful and snide personality. Plus, she gets Proxy powers.
A hollow from Bleach. It's mainly up to me to make this character and defining personality traits but it's an interesting thought to be certain. Say a Hollow dies to something and instead of going to like.. the Soul Society, they end up in another world but with the Hollow powers and evolution plus Akeno's powers.
I roleplay. So the whole character development thing and plot progression thing is not a new concept. I mention this because I could put in a fun character from this roleplay. I'd of course go over his world, powers and past in the plot and first chapter. I have an idea in mind buuuut he has Demonic ice powers too so it's sorta similar to TNF?
Shirou Emiya. I love the Fate series. Though I don't understand a whole lot of the Nasu-connected universe connected to it like the Type-Planets and shit.. I know enough to get what's happening but I still have to learn about the more.. not as known stuff. I know enough to portray Shirou though. Lot of that comes from Parcasious (Amazing writer check him out if you like Fate stuff) It'd be funny seeing his earnest and heroic demeanor mixed with Akeno's.
Jaune Arc. RWBYness.. Hmm.. it has potential and it gives me ideas..
I leave the voting to you guys. Leave them and any recommendations you have yourselves in reviews or PM me and I'll see if I can alternate between stories every week. Enjoy the chapter, thanks fer reading!
-[Bael Estate]-
Right after the Old Maou faction had quickly teleported out, Kalawarner was approached by who she could only guess was Zekram Bael himself. He carefully sized her up as he stood before her and looked down at her. He was a big Devil too. Standing at six foot seven and wearing an aristocratic outfit. He suddenly smirked and put his hand on her shoulder.
"So blunt.. I like you. You've proven to be better than a majority of the other Heirs. You, Sirzechs, Serafall, Falbium and Ajuka are all leagues apart from them" Zekram complimented.
"Oh.. right.. thank you, Sir Bael" Kalawarner's face showed some nervousness at the large Ultimate-class Devil.
"Do not, however, think that this will be easy just because you all outclass the Maou heirs. They have men under them. They are conniving. They will throw men at you, one after another and try to drown you in their blood if that is what it takes. They won't surrender their power easily. You will need to pry it out of their broken hands" Zekram walked back, stopping and looking at Rose.
"I see you have a subordinate of your own. Is she a servant?" Zekram asked as he looked back at Kalawarner again.
Thinking on it, Kalawarner came to question it herself. She hadn't thought of her like a servant, like the Lucifuge were to the Lucifers. She thought of her more as a new friend. Kind of like how members had joined Rias' peerage at the start. She came to her answer as her mind thought back to Rias and her peerage.
"No. She is my Queen. After all, the Heirs and Heiresses are one day going to rule their Pillars. By all means, they are Kings. And like in chess, the pieces protect their King. The King has to make sure they grow stronger. To protect his people that fight for him. Therefore, Rose is my Queen" Kalawarner said while nodding.
"Hoh? Chess you say? What an interesting way to prepare an Heir.." Zekram cupped his chin in his hand as Ajuka himself goes into deep thought.
"Genius.. Miss Stolas that is a genius idea. You have given me an idea.." Ajuka said while his eyes light up in interest.
"Aww Aju is going into his *science* mode again.." Serafall sighed.
"Hahaha… Well he always gets like this when he gets a new idea.." Sirzechs laughed, somewhat nervously.
"Well I really must get back to Lady Phenex.. I suspect she'll have some ideas on what my first steps should be" Kalawarner looked to the remaining Heirs and Heiresses that stayed in Bael's estate, showing their approval.
"Thank you all for staying by us. We'll be working together from now on. We will change this hierarchy. You won't be led to your deaths against Heaven of the Fallen" Kalawarner politely bows to them and calls a teleportation seal, teleporting out with Rose.
"Interesting kid.. Get all of your cities ready. Get your soldiers prepared. We will strike them first in a few days. You're all dismissed" Zekram said with finality as the Heirs and Heiresses all call forth their teleportation seals and exit back to their territories.

-Lucifer Estate]-
Rizevim Livan Lucifer was sitting across the fireplace in his study, sipping from his wine glass and closing a book as Razevan explained the events of the Young Devil's Gathering. He smirked as he set the book down and folded his hands on his lap.
"Father we can't let them take the thrones.. Should we go to their cities and raze them to the grounds?" Razevan asked, making Grayfia's face stiffen.
"Razevan, my son.. Tell me. What philosophy do I often bring up to you..? What are my views on Devils?" Rizevim looked into the flames and asked.
"Of course.. It is that Devils are evil, malevolent beings that do whatever they desire and enforce those desires through power. That our race is the opposite of the goodness in Heaven" Razevan replied as if he practiced.
Rizevim sighed, drawing a look of anxiety from Razevan.
"Power is not the only means. Devils are beings of guile and power. I will not get involved in this war. I have never had any interest in the throne.. Clutching at power that didn't even belong to them…" Rizevim laughed as he watched his son's expression sour.
"This Stolas Heiress.. She beat the other three sniveling children down in front of you all. Razevan, I ask you. Do you believe she could beat you?" Rizevim asked.
"Of course! She wouldn't even be a challenge.. The power of Lucifer won't lose to some lower class Devil's fists.." Razevan spat out with a sneer.
"I see. You have that much faith in your power, do you? Very well. Put your words to the test then. I want you to face her in her city. Surely, you'll want to bring your forces with you to witness your triumph, yes? Grayfia or Euclid can take her underling while you face the Heiress" Rizevim planned out with a smile as Euclid bowed respectfully and Grayfia nodded with no emotion.
"Of course.. It will be done, Father. I must go prepare with the others. If you'd excuse me" Razevan walked out of the study, followed by the Lucifuge siblings.
"So disappointing" Rizevim muttered before returning to his book.
-[Grigori HQ, Underworld]-
"What do you mean we can't help her!?" Raynare slammed her fist on the table in front of her subordinates and Azazel, who stood on the opposite side of the table.
"Raynare. If we do run in to assist her, we'll draw the Fallen back into war and trigger what she is working to prevent" Azazel said, earning an approving nod from Jay, who sat on a spinning chair, spinning himself around lazily.
Then we could disguise ourselves like-" Raynare started to say but Jay interrupted as he stole some of Azazel's snacks off his desk.
"Kal can only disguise herself due to Entropy and not use her Holy light at all. Take away your Holy powers and you'd be killed by the Devils anyways… Besides, Entropy completely masks her Holy presence. You don't have anything like that. Even that totally secret project Azazel's working on can't fully hide your Holy presence" Jay explained as Azazel's brow twitched in irritation at his project exposed and the rare candy he procured from Japan.
"How do you know about my project? How much do you know, actually?" Azazel asked, Raynare, Dohnaseek and Mittlet's heads turning to the casual tactician Fallen spinning in the chair with his legs tucked in.
"Fafnir came to you to get out of all that Evil Dragon hunting business. You're fashioning him into a pseudo-Sacred Gear. Why? What are your motives? If I were to make a solid guess.. It's that you are, in fact.. crazy. You're doing it for the Hell of it. So, am I right?" Jay asked while finishing the candy.
"There's no way he'd just do that so cas-" Dohnaseek muttered out but was interrupted by Azazel's laugh.
"Hahahahaha! You're damn right I am.. I call it *Scientific curiosity* though. Sounds nicer" Azazel finished.
"Can you finish it in time? And make it conceal our Holy power?" Raynare slapped her hand down on the table and asked with serious eyes.
"Hmm.." Azazel brushed back his shaggy hair and thought about the possibilities of the project.
"It requires more tweaking on my end. A lot more.. And some not insignificant training for the wielder but yes, it should conceal you as long as you have Balance Breaker activated. That's what you'll need to train. It'd still take a few years.. But I predict the War itself may take over fifty years itself. Going into the Human calendar of the eighteen-hundreds" Azazel sat back and thought it over.
"Please.. Azazel. I can't just sit here and hope she'll be okay.. You know how she is" Raynare pleaded with a stiff expression.
"Well I can't exactly say no when you plead like that.. All right.. For now, I want you to continue Kalawarner's training. It's increased your magic reserves and you'll need an absurd amount of it to keep up Balance Breaker for a long period and fight.." Azazel trailed off as Raynare's expression took a hopeful and happy turn.
"Thank you! Thank you!" Raynare bowed her head repeatedly and ran out to train harder than before as Azazel sighed.
"Guess I better get to work too.. And Jaaay? Since you like to steal from your Governor General so much.. you'll be working as Kalawarner's war strategist. I have a map of Devil territory. Take it and start your preparations, Mister Strategist" Azazel smirked upon seeing Jay's face twist at the prospect of working that much.
"Fiiine.. Let me get the pieces…" Jay sulked and watched Dohnaseek and Mittlet get themselves dragged to the training room by an eager Raynare, giving him a small amount of joy at their misfortune before walking out to prepare.

-[Phenex Estate, two days later]-
Groaning as she woke up, Kalawarner slowly rose out of bed and stretched her body. Reminded of the weight on her chest as she did her post-wake up stretching, she groaned and got up off the King sized bed she was unused to.
'Damn.. I keep forgetting how big these bad boys are.. Reminds me of my friend after he got outta high school. Dude looooooved the titties. All his female characters had massive ones. Motherfucker was gross though.. ate butterscotch flavored doritos..' Shivering at the reminder of her past friend, she got dressed in her military styled clothing.
Today she was asked to begin training the soldiers and Heirs for the War as the New Maou faction prepared to attack the Old Maou faction occupied cities. She walked down into the very large three-thousand-acre backyard of the estate. There, she saw Devils in the skin-tight bodysuit uniforms she recommended to the New Maou faction. The fabric was ultra-light and tough. So it was easy to move in and it held up in a fight.
Nodding in approval at the sight of the Devils all in formation, she noticed Rose was among them and raised her brow. Though she thought it over and came to the conclusion that Rose was likely seeking to be trained just like the others under her command.
"Alright you bunch of meat-tossers! I am your trainer and most importantly- Instructor while you get trained here. I am going to turn you into some bad motherfuckers. If I am understood shout HOO-RAH!" Kalawarner said in her Drill instructor's voice, making the Devils and Rose tense up.
"SHOUT IT!" She yelled once again as the Devils shook themselves out of their stupor and all shouted.
"Hoo-rah!"
"Hmph.. good enough" She huffed and walked up to a confident looking black haired soldier, likely an Heir.
"What's your story then?" She asked the confident Devil.
"Oh! I'm Houren Naberius from the illustrious Naberius pillar. After I ace this training academy, I'll be joining the officers in commanding the troops" Houren said with a smile.
"Oh. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders" Kalawarner nodded with a convincing smile.
"Oh! Well thank you so mu-" "OH!" Kalawarner shouted while delivering the mother of all headbutts straight into his head, making him writhe on the ground in pain, screaming into his cupped hands.
"Now listen up.. you double-deckered pig fart.. You don't get to join the officers.. till AFTER you get your head out of your ass!" Kalawarner spat out and walked over to the next soldier, who was a large man, about six feet nine.
"What 'bout you, Hulkamania? Where do you see yourself in three years?" She looked up and asked him while putting her hands in her coat.
"I-I plan on giving my body in service to the New Maou, ma'am!" He said nervously.
"Ah.." She made an ice pillar below her that rose her to his face level, seeing his nervous expression up close now.
"Oh you think this is harem of the dead, you shrimp dicked fuck nugget!?" She gave him the best look of death in her eyes and smiled in his face as she loomed over him.
"Boy if you can't pull out a sword and body some motherfuckers.. AND fire a rifle.. Then you shouldn't even bother trying to be with the New Maou" She patted his face and finished, stepping off as the man gulped.
She continued breaking down each and every one of them, just like her old Drill sergeant did back in Marine training bootcamp. By the end of the verbal assaults, all the trainees were ordered to run fifty laps around the entire Estate grounds while carrying the rifles made by Stolas. Though she went easy on Rose for the verbal beatings, she did not go easy on her physical exercise training. They would all be thankful towards their instructor though, as in the future, they were known as the Rebellion Battalion. The fiercest, moth ruthless and most respected battalion in the new Maou faction.

-[Omake 4, Akeno's new friends]-
It hadn't even lasted ten minutes. Akeno had killed all their exorcists for starters. Then she was attacked by Freed Selzen, who fired at her. It proved useless though, she quickly used Holy Lightning as a shield wall and punted the insane priest in his testicles so hard she thought he might have coughed one up. Not intending on leaving him alive though, she hit him with so much lightning his skin blackened and he soon looked like the Legendary man who hated sand and killed some younglings.
After that, she had an actual fight between Kalawarner, Mittlet and Dohnaseek. Though adding on her Holy Lightning to her already High class-Devil power made sure all three of them lost that fight almost as soon as they started it. They were further encouraged by Raynare to simply give up as they laid on the church floor, defeated.
"She's too strong for you guys.. But what else did you expect from Baraqiel's daughter?" Raynare sighed and facepalmed at the sorry state of the trio.
"You.. You traitor.. You sold us out for what? This was your idea! To impress Azazel with your power so he'll give us higher positions.." Kalawarner spat out and winced.
"Ara~ You know it's a terrible idea, no? Even if you had succeeded, Azazel would have kicked you out for harming the Boosted Gear user and the Twilight Healing user. He's spearheading the peace efforts for the Fallen so why would you be praised for going against that? But! Don't worry.. Under myself, I will help you all rise in power and position. Think of it. Camaraderie, respect, love and recognition. This is what I offer you. It won't be cheap though.. You will serve under me and swear never to betray me. We'll do the magic contract later. So how about it?" Akeno smiled and said.
"Trust me.. it's this or a fate worse than death.." Raynare's face flushed upon thinking back to what Akeno did to her.
"What fate could-" Kalawarner started but was cut off by a *hungry* looking Akeno, licking the tip of her index finger with a sadistic blushed smile.
"Okay I'll join…" Kalawarner said, shivering.
"Perfect! Now to introduce you to Rias and start the training break.. Oooh how I love training montages.." Akeno smiled and summoned a teleportation seal for them.
"Now come, we have much to go over!" Akeno said with a giggle, planning the beastly ass whooping of Riser Phenex in her mind.
