Hey everyone. Sorry for not updating. My health went into a nosedive this month. I'm ok.
To those that have pointed out the "Scared Gear" I went back and laughed at seeing it. My auto-correct keeps changing it to that. Hopefully I caught them all in this update.
Also to address the story. It is following the Highschool DxD canon until just after Kokabiel and the summit then everything will be start going off on its own direction with some plot points from Harry Potter and High School DxD canon sprinkled throughout.
Before everyone starts reading I would like to thank you all for the support and comments. I read them all (even though I might not reply to them all) and try and learn and write better with the constructive criticism.
This is obviously a Harry Potter and Highschool DxD Crossover story. I do not own the rights to Harry Potter nor Highschool DxD. I'm just having some fun playing in the Wizarding World and the DxD World. Please support creators by purchasing their work. Also, everyone depicted is of age. Cheers.
Also I started an account on AO3 with the same Username and Story titles. Just in case this ends up getting deleted for whatever reason.
Warning: This story involves violence, mentions of darker themes and unconventional relationships (i.e. harems) yet is consensual with those involved. The story will also have dark and juvenile humour.
The Red Wizard
Chapter XI: The Nun
"Asia?!"
Harry and Issei said at the same time. There before them was the young blonde nun. She just stood there in surprise that she saw them.
"What are you both doing here?" She asked them.
"We should be asking you that!" Issei shouted. "How did you get away?"
"Oh umm…" The girl said appearing nervous. Harry picked up on that and looked around discreetly. He was expecting Fallen Angels to jump out of the bushes and trees in the park.
"Asia are you ok?" Harry asked her.
"I'm fine." She answered. At Harry's stare she continued. "I'm ok. I mean it."
"Ok." Harry said. "Did that priest do anything to you?" He spat the word priest.
She shook her head. "The others, the umm Fallen Angels wont let him come near me."
"At least they are good for that." Harry muttered.
"But Asia how did you escape?" Issei asked again.
"Oh I'm just out for a walk." She said and poked her index fingers together.
Harry again picked up the nervousness that radiated off the girl, yet Issei seemed oblivious.
"We should totally hang then!" Issei shouted.
"What?" Both Harry and Asia asked.
"Well come on!" Issei said. "We're all here and school has long since started. Let's play hooky and make a day of it."
Asia seemed excited and Issei grabbed her hand and headed off. Harry sighed and followed. He took off his school jacket and unbuttoned his dress shirt. He was wearing a blue undershirt and quickly stuffed his clothes into his school bag and headed after the two.
Issei had taken them to a fast-food place. After wandering out of park it was nearing lunch time. The restaurant was an American one that Harry immediately recognised. Issei ordered them all his favourite meal and they sat down.
"I've never had this food before." Asia admitted.
"Really?" Both boys asked. The restaurant was all over the world. How could she not have? Harry thought.
"The nuns never let me have anything other than what the church could provide." She said shyly.
"Well this is how to eat a burger!" Issei said happily and then unwrapped his food and took a big bite. The sheltered nun did the same and Harry chuckled at her trying to take a big bite.
Harry started chomping down his meal as well. It had been a long time since he had had a burger. Sirius had taken him. His godfather wasn't the biggest fan of those across the pond. As he thought the American Wizards were way too strict on their rules than anywhere else in the world. To the point that they were close to what the purebloods in England had wanted. Still the muggle side of things had been fun. The huge portions of food and the amusement parks as well as their movies. They were great. He had had a lot of fun over there.
Issei was questioning Asia on all the things that she had seen and never had gotten a chance to do. The girl was shy and also didn't know what a lot of what she had seen was called. Harry was reminded of himself when he had first entered the wizarding world. No one had bothered to explain anything to him other than Hagrid and honestly, he wasn't the best at explaining anything.
Issei had suggested the arcade and they had gone. Harry was joining in on the fun, but he was waiting for the other foot to fall. He had a bad feeling, and he knew something would happen soon. His gut screamed at him. He had still yet to contact Rias or Sona, but he knew that if he did, they would both tell him to abandon the girl as she was the enemy. Harry didn't believe that but sighed. He was at war with himself. He knew he should tell them but looking over at Issei and Asia he knew he shouldn't.
Issei had won Asia a prize with his skills at the claw machine game. A little yellow and black mouse plush. Harry was reminded of Pikachu. Yet a very bad rip-off. It was still cute, and Asia seemed to like it. It was then that Issei groaned in pain. He was still injured from the previous nights fight.
Asia went to heal him, but Harry grabbed her hands. "Hey Asia, maybe not in front of so many people. It might freak them out."
She looked at Harry and then around at the somewhat crowded arcade. She nodded.
A few minutes later and they were back in the park but in a different area. The area was called the Mirror Pools. The ponds of water were all artificial but the water in them were so still that it resembled mirrors on the ground. The area was popular with the students of Kuoh Academy, but the school had not let out yet. The area was pretty much deserted at that time of the day. Issei sat on one of the benches at the Mirror's Edge. Asia was using her power to heal him. The faint green glow of her healing power.
"Its impressive." Harry said as he observed them.
"Thank you." Asia said. "God granted me this power. It's a blessing."
"Is it a sacred gear?" Issei asked.
She nodded. "Its called Twilight Healing."
"It beautiful." Harry said. The blonde blushed.
"Thank you."
She then switched to heal Issei's bullet wound in his leg. Issei stood up and jumped around. "Wow, check it out!"
"Harry?" Asia asked. He looked at her and she raised her hands. He shrugged and sat down on the bench. He was almost fully healed anyways.
"My back is the only bad spot." He told her. She placed her hands above his back and activated her healing. Harry was surprised at the warm and soothing feeling that soaked into his back. The remaining pain had disappeared, and he felt his wounds knit back together. Why couldn't Madam Pomfrey's healing be like this?
"All done."
"Thanks, Asia." Harry stretched and his muscles hadn't felt that good in years. "Like I said before. Impressive."
"Thank you."
"Hey, Asia why were you kicked out of the church?" Issei asked. Harry facepalmed at his lack of tact.
"Oh."
"You don't have to answer." Harry said.
"No its alright." She said. "It because of what I just did."
"Huh?"
"I healed a devil." She said.
"Maybe start at the beginning?" Harry asked.
Asia launched into her story of being abandoned in front of a church in Italy. The church was a small nunnery in a remote village in the northern part of the country. The nuns raised her until she was a little girl. Then one day there was a puppy that was hit by a car, and she had prayed to heal him. It worked and soon she was healing others. People from all over came to the village and soon a cardinal of the church visited and moved her to a bigger church. More and more people came to be healed and she did what she was told. The church members had told her that her gift was bestowed upon her by God. She was comforted by that. She was happy helping people. That all ended one day.
"The devil?" Harry asked at this part of her story.
"Yes. I found a young man that was greatly injured." Asia said. "I healed him and that was when the bishop and nuns found us. They realised what he was. A devil."
"They excommunicated you." Harry guessed.
"Yes." She said quietly. "They called me a witch." Harry startled at that then his eyes narrowed in anger. She continued. "They told me anyone with my powers was a heretic. The girl that could save devils."
"Hypocrites." Harry muttered. "Fools and hypocrites."
"You're too good for them!" Issei yelled. "Screw those church d-bags!"
Asia was surprised at him.
"And screw those Fallen Angel douches. You're too good for them too." Issei said. "I don't care what the church said. You're wonderful and I like you just the way you are."
Harry grinned. Seems he's not all boobs and boners.
Asia was blushing up a storm but was smiling in pure happiness. "Thank you." Then tears started to fall.
"Hey don't cry. I'm sorry." Issei apologised.
She shook her head. "No you didn't do anything wrong. I always wanted to have lots of friends and hearing you say that I hope that we are."
"Of course we are." Issei said. "Harry is your friend too."
She looked to Harry who smiled and nodded. She smiled at them both.
"Isn't this touching."
They all whirled around to see the Fallen Angel standing on the other side of the mirror ponds.
"Yuma!" Issei growled.
"Lady Raynare." Asia said.
"Hello Asia and hello Issei. I see you moved on from me, ex-lover." She smirked viciously. Then she spotted Harry standing there. "Oh hello again handsome."
"Still heartbroken I rejected you?" Harry asked as he went onto the balls of his feet, ready to move at a moments notice.
The Fallen Seductress growled at that.
"Rejected?" Issei asked in confusion.
"You thought you were the only one for me?" Raynare mockingly asked Issei. "I set my sights on handsome there first."
"What am I? A consolation prize?" Issei moaned pitifully. They both ignored Issei.
"Yet I rejected you." Harry said. "My standards are just too high."
Raynare scowled. She had nothing on Snape but was close.
"You just couldn't handle me." Raynare said confidently.
"Whatever helps you sleep at night." Harry said. He had been stalling as he contacted both Rias and Sona. SOS park. Fallen.
She smirked. "Yet a nun is your type? Or is it blondes?" She asked him.
Asia blushed in spite of the situation as she shyly eyed Harry.
"What do you want with Asia?" Harry asked.
"To take her back of course." Raynare said. Issei looked questioningly at the girl.
"I lied about the walk. I ran away." Asia then turned to Raynare. "I want no part in the evils that you and the other angels are planning!"
Asia then hid behind Issei and Harry.
"Doesn't look like she wants to go." Issei said.
"Oh she will if she doesn't want to see you both killed." Raynare said.
"Don't bother threatening us." Harry said. "We both already took out half your army of stray exorcists as well as that wanna be angel hack Donna something."
She glared at them yet snapped her fingers. An illusion appeared on the mirror pond surfaces. Harry realised that it was a scrying spell. The images showed the park with citizens going about their day. Many were families. She snapped her fingers again and a disillusionment spell dropped. They saw dozens upon dozens of exorcists hidden around the park. All with weapons and all within striking distance of the innocent people.
"Hand her over or all those people will be seeing our Lord sooner than they should." Raynare said.
"Fuck." Harry growled. Two summoning circles appeared and, in a flash, both Rias and Sona appeared with their full peerages.
"You called for back up?" Raynare smirked.
"Of course." Harry said. "I'm not an idiot."
"Regardless those people will die." Raynare said.
"You're bluffing." Harry said.
"Try me, if you think that." Raynare lifted her hand prepared to snap her fingers again.
"I'll go." Asia said.
"Asia?" Issei said.
"I'll go with her." She said. "I can't let those people be hurt because of me."
"Asia no-" Issei was held back by Harry. The boy looked at him and Harry shook his head sadly.
"Call them off once you are gone or I'll rip those wings off piece by piece once I get a hold of you." Harry threatened Raynare.
"You're in no-"
Harry threw a bolt of lightning that whizzed by her face. The Fallen Angel was shocked, but Harry's eyes were cold and filled with killing intent.
"Come, Asia." She beckoned.
"Goodbye, friends." Asia said to them and walked to Raynare. The Fallen wrapped the girl in her wings before a portal opened and they disappeared. The images in the pools also disappeared.
"No!" Issei yelled.
"Shut up." Harry said as crouched over the pools and waved his hand over them. The images of the park returned, and Harry watched as the priests retreated. Harry sighed in relief.
"How did you do that?" Sona asked him from over his shoulder. He glanced to Issei and the boy zipped his mouth closed.
"My uncle is a magician." Harry lied. "He was teaching me before well… this."
"You're trained as a magician?" Sona asked in surprise.
"Yeah?" Harry said.
"Why didn't you tell us?"
"You never asked?" Harry said.
Sona stared at him.
"Not going to fly?" He asked.
"No." She said flatly.
"I knew about how devils and magicians don't usually get along." Harry said. "So you know."
Sona looked away briefly then sighed. "That is a fair assessment."
"Anyways what is going on?" Rias asked. The others wanted to know as well.
-Line Break-
After explaining what was going on to everyone Sona had decided that she would need to notify her sister of the Fallen Angels in their territory. She also said that she would leave the situation up to Rias for the time being. Sona would protect the population if the rogue group decided to attack the innocent. Rias agreed. Sona and her peerage disappeared in a magic circle.
"Its time we leave too." Rias said and they all disappeared as well.
Once back in the club room Rias expressed her anger. She glared at both Harry and Issei.
"Why the hell did you go near that nun again?" Rias said. "I thought I made it clear that she was the enemy."
Harry raised an eyebrow at this but his anger at the whole situation was starting to bubble over. If Sirius was standing there he would have called Harry out on his wanting to be the hero and his saving people thing.
"She ran away from them." Issei said. "She wasn't the enemy."
Harry turned to the boy as did Rias.
"Really?" Rias asked in a flat tone. A tone that she held little interest in.
"She's been excommunicated." Harry said. He suppressed his anger and backed Issei. "And now trying to flee the Fallen. She is no longer an enemy."
"Yet she left with the Fallen." Rias said.
"To save the innocent people in the park." Harry argued.
"Yet she still went." Rias said.
"Why are you so hung up on her being an enemy?" Harry asked.
"Cause she is."
"No she's not!" Issei yelled.
Slap!
Rias slapped Issei. The boy had gotten into her face and yelled right at her. Harry was surprised that Rias had done that, and it seemed to shock Issei as well.
"Enough." Rias said. There was anger and concern in her voice. "Remember that you both are members of my peerage, and your actions reflect on all of us. That goes double for you Harry."
Sona flashed through his mind.
"How do you think it looks for two devils to be around a nun. A young innocent nun that regardless of being kicked out of the church or not. She was once a servant of God and now two devils are seen with her. Lots of our enemies would see it as you both corrupting her."
Harry blinked for a second. The anger was still there but the logical part of his mind acknowledged what Rias had said.
"So that's it?" Issei asked.
"What's it?"
"We're just going to leave her to her fate?" He asked.
"For the time being, yes." Rias said. Akeno approached her.
"But-"
Rias held up a hand as Akeno whispered to her.
"Something has come up." Both Rias and Akeno walked away and created a summoning circle. "We will discuss this later."
They both disappeared in a flash.
Issei punched the wall. "Damnit!"
Harry looked at him and sighed. He wanted to do the same but held himself back. He turned to see Koneko and Kiba seated on the couches.
"I'm going to save her." Issei said and marched towards the door. Kiba stood up and blocked his path.
"You're going after the nun?" He asked Issei.
"Get out of the way Kiba." Harry said as he stood with Issei in this.
"You to Harry?" Kiba asked. Issei turned back to him in hope.
"Of course. I'm not letting the Fallen have her." Harry said with a fire in his eyes.
"Do you want her?" Koneko asked from the couch.
Harry turned to her. He blinked and then his own words caught up to him. "No! I mean like- I know what those Fallen Angels could do to her. I'm not going to let that rapist priest touch her."
Harry panicked to explain. Koneko stared at him with her golden eyes unblinkingly.
"What's going on?" Issei whispered to Kiba.
"I'm not sure." Kiba whispered back. "Maybe convincing Koneko to come along too?"
"Too?" Issei asked in a hushed voice.
"Yeah. I'm coming too." Kiba softly said. "We're buddies. I wouldn't let you and Harry go by yourselves."
"Ok." Koneko said. "I hate perverts and I hate men who take advantage of a woman."
Harry nodded along rapidly.
"So we're all going then?" Issei asked.
"Yep!" Kiba said.
"What about the whole reflects on us thing, Rias said." Issei asked.
"Well it does, so might as well take part." Kiba answered with a shrug.
The four of them then headed to the church.
-Line Break-
The four devils stood outside of the abandoned church. They used the surrounding forest as cover as they glazed upon the front doors.
"Feel that?" Kiba asked.
"That's a lot of darkness." Harry said.
"No kidding." Koneko said.
"What are you taking about?" Issei asked.
"Sorry Issei." Kiba said. "Once you start training in wielding your magical powers you will be able to sense magic and other supernatural things."
"Oh?"
"Believe me." Harry said. "I wish I wasn't feeling the dark taint."
"Agreed." Koneko and Kiba said. Issei saw all three of his friends looking slightly ill. Maybe he would skip that training he mentally noted to himself.
"Lots of exorcists too." Kiba said. "Now I don't feel too bad attacking a church if all that dark energy is coming from it."
"Agreed." Harry said. "Also might save us from Rias's wrath."
"What about Sona?" Kiba asked in a chuckle.
Harry sighed. "Probably not."
"Whoa! Koneko!" Issei half yelled and half whispered.
The white-haired girl had broken cover and was walking towards the church doors.
"Relax they already know that we are here." She said before kicking the double doors open and tearing them off the hinges.
"Way to make an entrance." Harry remarked flatly.
"Oh suck it." She replied playfully.
The inside of the church was quite. The stained-glass windows that had once decorated the open hall were all shattered. The colourful glass laid on the dusty stone floor. The church benches had once been highly polished wood now rotted. Then the alter itself was the most damaged. The angel statue that had stood in front and would gazed down at the parishioners was split and toppled over. The upper body lay in broken rubble as the legs and feet remained standing. Harry was reminded of the old Greek and Roman ruins that he and Sirius had explored and toured. Still the church held a creepiness to it. As they ventured in, Harry half expected a psycho from a slasher film to jump out at them.
"Well, well, well." A voice echoed. "Look what the cat dragged in."
Speaking of psycho. Harry thought as his eyes landed on the would-be rapist priest.
"Freed!" Issei cursed.
"Hello Devil Bitch Boy!" The crazed exorcist yelled, his tongue hanging out of his mouth. "Back for round two?"
"Says the coward that fled." Harry said.
"Hey, you two played rough and gangbanged me!" He cried. "No one does that but ME!" He pulled out his gun and fired at them. The blessed bullets soared at them as a church pew was hurled at him.
"Hey!" Freed said as he dodged the pew. "Aren't you a strong little runt!"
Koneko narrowed her eyes. "Suck it."
She hurled another bench at him. It hit him and knocked him back. His gun flew out of his hand.
"Ouchie!"
Kiba then rushed forward and slashed at Freed.
"No foreplay at all!" Freed shouted at the knight while his light sword blocked Kiba's blade. "You're the selfish blond prince aren't you. Hoping I'm already ready for you!"
"Just what kind of priest are you?" Kiba asked.
"The best kind, bottom bitch."
"Riiight. No matter." Kiba said. "I'll swipe the floor with you."
"You think that, do you!" Freed then started viciously slashing at Kiba. There was no refinement in his moves. He just attacked erratically. Kiba on the other hand blocked and parried each swing easily and Harry thought almost lazily.
"You got some skill devil bitch!" Freed yelled. "But nothing will beat my holy sword of light!"
"Well I hate to disappoint you." Kiba smirked and then his black blade started to bleed off wisps of black smoke that then clung to the light sword.
"What the fuck is this shit!" Freed screamed in alarm.
"Its my holy eraser." Kiba said.
"Holy what?"
"Holy eraser. Its my sacred gear." Kiba said with confidence as the light sword began to flicker and then finally snuffed out.
"Oh shit." Freed said as he dodged a slash from Kiba and quickly retreated to the alter.
The maniac priest whirled his head around and eyed the four devils. He backed up and scowled at them all. "Not that this hasn't been fun but I'm not up for a five-some if I'm the taker, boys and girls!"
Freed lifted up a ball in his hand and threw it at the ground.
"Toodles!"
"Hey!"
The flashbang blinded them all temporarily as Freed made his escape.
"Damn he got away." Issei swore.
"He'll be back." Kiba said.
"Hurry up." Koneko said as she shoved the podium off the alter and revealed a hidden staircase.
-Line Break-
The four hurried down the flight of stairs to find a huge underground chamber. At the far end Asia was strung up on a cross. Standing in front of her was Raynare. The Fallen Angel glanced over her shoulder at them.
"Stop them until the ritual is over." She commanded and the legion of stray priests stood between them and Asia, pulled out guns and light swords.
"That's a lot of priests." Issei said.
"No shit." Harry said.
"Aaaaahhhh!" Asia screamed.
"Asia!" Harry and Issei yelled out.
Harry went to dash towards her, but a group of stray exorcists blocked his path and fired bullets as well as light magic spells. Harry was yanked back by Koneko as the blasts hit where he would have been.
"Thanks, Koneko." He said.
"Be careful." She told him.
"Issei, you go." Kiba said. "We'll clear a path."
"Roger!" Issei said as he ran forward.
Kiba and Koneko engaged in fighting the legion of humans. Harry joined in as Issei slipped through them. The priests did not seem as concerned with Issei as they did with the rest of them, Harry observed. The priests seemed to gang up more on him and Kiba than Koneko or Issei. Do they view us as more of a threat? Harry thought. Did Raynare warn them after what happened with Dohanseek? Or did they have surveillance on the devils already?
Harry was left with more questions but did not let his focus wane on the enemy. He summoned his sacred gear. Ddraig's gauntlet materialised on his left hand and Harry easily used it to block the light swords. Ddraig had informed him that the armour was like his scales. Only the most powerful of weapons could have penetrated his skin. Light sword, light spears and blessed bullets were no where near close enough. Harry was going to use that to his advantage. He stopped a sword strike with his gauntleted hand. He then wrapped his claws around it and crushed the blade. The light shattered like glass and dissolved into nothingness. The priest was shocked for a whole two seconds before the same hand that broke his sword then broke his face. The priest was launched across the room. The others gathered around stepped back in fear.
Harry let a grin stretch across his face. He was enjoying this. The blood rush the feeling of fighting. The risk of putting your life on the line. This was adrenaline fuelled ride that tested him unlike anything else in life. That's the dragon in you! Ddraig roared. Seemed like his partner agreed with him. Harry charged into the fight again. Battle and bloodlust coursed through him. His heartbeat was like war drums as he lashed out at the unlucky exorcist to stand in his path. He clawed, punched, and swatted his way through the crowd. The whole time a crazed grin was plastered on his face. The priests screamed and cowered in front of him. Some tried to flee yet Harry would strike them first. As the battle waged on, he did keep tabs on Kiba and Koneko. The two senior devils had kept up with his pace. They attacked the former priests just as viciously. Broken and bloody bodies littered the chamber's floor.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
The scream tore through the battlefield but was cut off sharply. All eyes turned to the crucifix. Asia hung limply from it as Issei stood in front of her. The green glow of the girl's Twilight Healing was floating above her before descending to Raynare. The Fallen quickly claimed the light and laughed.
"ASIA!" Issei roared as he tried to take her down. Raynare snapped her fingers and the chains binding the girl fell. Her body dropped and was quickly caught by Issei. He cradled her. Raynare laughed. The sick pleasure that she got from the heartbreak in front of her ignited a bigger rage within Harry.
Raynare summoned a light spear and thrust forward to strike both of them, but Issei dodged. He jumped down and raced towards the exit. The exorcists recovered first and went to strike the would-be hero down. Kiba reacted and jumped between them and cut off the wrists of the sword wielding priests. They screamed as blood burst from their stumps.
"Go Issei! We got this!" Kiba yelled.
"Thank you." Issei said as he rushed for the stairs. Koneko and Harry then covered the remainder of his retreat.
The three remaining devils regrouped at the base of the stairs.
"We need to clean up here." Kiba said.
"Understood." Koneko said as she cracked her knuckles.
"What about Asia?" Harry asked.
"Its ok." Kiba reassured him. "Rias is on her way."
Harry nodded as the priests charged them. The three worked together to hold the line. Harry and Koneko provided the muscle to keep them back and easily switched positions to always cover the others back and reduce any openings. Ones that the two missed were then covered by Kiba those speed allowed him to intervene before anything could happen. He also could act swiftly to stop anyone that slipped passed Harry and Koneko.
Still they could not be everywhere at once. Raynare had taken flight and flew above them. Kiba had jumped into her flight path only to he swatted away but not before leaving a parting gift. His sword bit into her shoulder. She grunted but flew up the stairs.
"Raynare!" Harry yelled.
"Rias has arrived!" Kiba said.
"Focus on the remainder." Koneko said.
Only a few handfuls of exorcists were left standing. They did not back down though. As the devils blocked the only way out of the chamber. A few more fists thrown, and the priests were no more. Harry panted along with the others. He regained enough breath to run up the stairs.
He emerged just as Issei was trying to stand up to Raynare. He was about to help the boy when an arm pulled him back. He turned to see Kiba.
"Wait."
"Let go."
"Just wait." The blond boy said. "I have orders."
Harry was confused but then he followed Kiba's pointing finger. Off to the side was Rias. Standing just out of direct view.
"You won't get away, Bitch!" Issei roared as he punched Raynare right out of the only non-broke window of the church.
"That felt good." Issei muttered before he began to sway. Kiba caught him as Harry stood behind them both.
"Yo, Guys." Issei said weakly. "How long have you been there?"
"Awhile." Kiba admitted. "Nicely handled though."
"Why didn't you help out?" Issei asked.
"Orders to stay back." Kiba said.
"Orders?"
"Yes. Mine." Rias said as she walked calmly towards them.
"Rias!"
"Relax, Issei." The girl smiled.
"W-what are you doing here?" He asked nervously.
"I had to speak with Lady Leviathan and once she gave the all clear I came here." Rias explained.
"Lady Leviathan?" Harry asked.
"Yes, I had to get permission to destroy these rogue fallen. Needless to say she gave her approval." She said.
The side door banged open. "Anyone order this?" Koneko asked rhetorically. She was dragging the battered Raynare behind her. Koneko tossed her in front of Rias's feet.
"Hello, Raynare." Rias greeted her.
"W-what? Who are you?" Raynare asked, looking up at Rias.
"I'm Rias Gremory, next head of the House of Gremory."
"Gremory?!"
"Yes, it was your foolishness to cause trouble in my territory." Rias said darkly. "Any last words?"
"Issei." Raynare spoke but softly and in her disguise of Yuma. "Please, Issei. Don't let them kill me."
Harry growled as Issei was in shock. He saw both fear and anger as well as self loathing in Issei's eyes.
"Monster." Harry growled. He flung out his hand and her illusion fell instantly. Her true form as a monstrous seducer and murdering fallen angel reappeared. Issei was broken from his shock then turned to Rias.
"Please." Issei said. Raynare had a brief flicker of hope.
"Please end this, Rias. I-I can't." Issei said.
Rias nodded and her Power of Destruction screamed out before consuming Raynare. The Fallen didn't even have a chance to scream.
Harry reached forward and squeezed Issei's shoulder. The younger boy looked at him and nodded. A small sad smile on his face.
A green glow shone down and landed in front of Rias. Both boys watched her as Rias turned to them. "These are beautiful. Shall we return them?"
Rias slipped the twin rings back onto Asia's cold hands. Harry stared down at the innocent girl. Rage filled him again, but grief did as well. He had not known the girl for long, but he had had to deal with loss more than most people his age. He felt a kindred soul in Asia. An orphaned girl that was then praised for something out of her control. Placed on a pedestal and basically worshipped. Then all of it crashed down. Hated and scorned by all she had known. Then forced to abandon the only life she knew. Falling into a rough crowd and then dying. Throughout the whole ordeal she had never lost her faith or her innocence. Harry knew what that was like yet was also envious of the girl. She had held onto two things that Harry could not. He lost his trust in those he had faith in. His innocence had long been taken.
Asia did not deserve her fate. That was all Harry could think of as he stared at the sweet girl.
Issei was crying in front of the girl and muttered the unfairness of it all. Rias placed a hand on his shoulder.
"I don't like to do it, but I can save her." Rias said as she pulled out an evil piece.
Moments later Asia was laying on the floor. A magic circle was glowing beneath her.
"In the name of the House of Gremory, I, Rias Gremory, command Asia Argento to be reborn as a devil. Reborn as a servant to my peerage and my house. Rise as my bishop and live again." Rias chanted as the bishop piece was absorbed into the girl's chest.
Harry held his breath. Was this what Rias and Sona had done to me? Harry thought. He was tempted to ask but Asia groaned and opened her eyes.
"Asia?" Issei asked.
