*The Bet*
A few days had passed since the peace meeting between the three factions ended and now they were getting ready for the young devils gathering.
"What's young devils gathering?" asked Morgiana after Issei announced that they were invited as well.
"It's basically a meeting between devils of young age to come together and show off their power" explained Yubelluna to which Morgiana nodded.
"So when it will be held?" asked Izayoi leaning against a wall.
"The day after tomorrow. And don't hesitate to hit on any girl you like" said Issei with a smirk to which he also smirked while the girls glared at Issei.
"Okay let's make a bet" said Izayoi.
"A bet on what?" asked Issei confused.
"Whoever gets the most girls win" said Izayoi.
"Oh I like that but what if I win what will I get" asked Issei smirking.
"I'll do one thing you say. It can be anything and also the other way around" said Izayoi with a smirk.
"Done and Kucabara is also in this" said Issei at which Kucabara's eyes widen.
"Eeeee… why am I being involved in it" asked Kucabara.
"Because you need to let lose a little" said Izayoi.
"You both want me to save your skin" said Kucabara irritated to which both of them whistled.
"Sigh… fine whatever" said Kucabara but looking at them he could tell they were not going make him do an easy thing.
"Tomorrow we will leave for my old mansion while Gremory and Sitri will go to their own homes." said Issei looking at them.
"What about us do we have to go back to the Phenex household" asked Mihae.
"No you guys are my servant only Ravel will go back to Phenex household" replied Issei to which they all gave a sigh of satisfaction.
"Okay now start preparing I don't want my servant to look down upon" said Issei to which everyone nodded and went to their respective rooms to prepare.
"Sis have you sent the maids to clean up the place?" asked Issei looking at his sister.
"Yes but don't you think she would runaway" asked Asaka looking worried.
"Don't worry I have put a mark on her she will die if she hurt any of them and if she runs away I will personally dispose of her" said Issei to which Asaka nodded and went to prepare.
'How is she doing Ddraig' asked Issei inside his mind.
{That Leviathan brat is just dozing off in a corner} said Ddraig.
"Honestly I'm not surprised" said Issei while giving off a sigh and walking to his room.
"Let's go check on them" said Issei as he prepared a magical circle to teleport to his old mansion.
*Underworld: Hyoudou Household*
Issei arrived in front of his old house and knocked on the door. After some time he was greeted my Marion.
"Welcome home master" said Marion bowing.
"Hello Marion how are you today?" asked Issei smiling.
"I'm well thank you for your concern" Marion said smiling and gesturing him to come inside.
"May I ask. Why are you here because you were going to be here tomorrow" said Marion with hint of confusion in her voice.
"I'm just here to check on you guys and the condition of the house" said Issei looking around his old home.
"Nicely done I'm impressed" said Issei surprised clearly visible on his face.
"Thank you master" said Marion with a smile.
"Okay now let's go see what everyone is doing" said Issei started moving in different directions and Marion following him in toe.
As they moved around they saw many maids which Issei had hired with the help of Sirzechs to look after the household while they were away.
"Now where is Katerea?" asked Issei looking at Marion who gave out sigh and pointed towards a room.
Issei nodded and started walking in that direction opening the door and walking up to the bed moved a chair close to it and sitting down while reading a book while waiting for her to wake up.
After some time Katerea started to stir and slowly open her eyes and saw Issei sitting and reading a book.
"I see so you have woken up" said Issei putting his book down and looking at her.
"I…I…" tried to say Katerea but was cut off by Issei.
"Don't try to hide it I know you did nothing and only wasted time" said Issei angrily which frightened her as she started to shiver.
"Sigh…. Okay get up we are going back to prepare for the gathering" said Issei getting up to which she nodded and followed him.
As they both arrived in the living room every one of his servants were ready to depart back except the hired maids.
"Is everyone ready?" asked Issei to which everyone nodded and he prepared a magical circle and everyone stepped inside and teleported away.
"Okay now go back to your rooms and start preparing" said Issei to which everyone went to their respective rooms and Issei was left alone.
'This is going to be fun I just know it' thought Issei while a grin appeared on his face.
-Time skip morning-
Everyone was ready and were waiting for Issei to come down.
"Come on man you are taking more time than girls" said Izayoi waiting restlessly.
"Coming" said Issei as his footsteps were heard by everyone.
"Okay is everyone ready?" asked Issei looking at them to which they all nodded.
"Then let's go" said Issei as a large magical circle appeared under their feet.
*Underworld*
They were teleported in front of his house.
"Nice" said Izayoi while others were looking at the mansion with awe.
Issei walked ahead and opened the door and they all walked inside. They were greeted by maids all lined up in front of them.
"Welcome home master" they all said in unison.
"Everyone welcome to my house" said Issei while everyone was looking around.
"Okay now everyone you can chose any room you want and after that come inside the dining room" said Issei to which everyone went to their choose their rooms while he and his sister went to their old rooms.
After unpacking everyone was in the dining room having lunch and talking to each other.
"Hey Issei were is the training area?" asked Izayoi with him was Tiamat in her human form.
"You two going to train?" asked Issei to which they both nodded.
"It's this way and also take people from phenex they need some serious training" said Issei as he called all the people from phenex.
"Okay you guys are going to be training under them" told Issei to phenex girl as he pointed at Taimat and Izayoi to which they sweat dropped.
"Also don't push yourselves to hard we still have to make it to gathering" said Issei with a smile which made the girls blush and they nodded and went with them.
After that Issei went back to the living room were his sister was at the moment as he got closer to the door he sensed that someone else was in there as well and he was someone they actually knew.
"Well I didn't think that the Lord Lucifer would come and welcome me in my home" said Issei as he entered the room were Sirzechs and his sister were sitting while taking and having tea.
"Ohh…. Issei how are you?" greeted Sirzechs with a smile.
"Fine and you?" asked Issei as he sat down on the sofa besides his sister.
"Never better and I must say the house looks pretty good" complimented Sirzechs smiling.
"Thanks and I didn't think that you would have enough time to come personally not that I'm complaining" said Issei with a curiously.
"Well I had free time so I came" said Sirzechs laughing nervously.
"You totally ran away from your duties didn't you" said Asaka looking at him.
"And you know what Grayfia will do to you" said Issei as he and his sister chuckled and Sirzechs just sweat dropped.
"Okay let's move forward it's nice to see you came here to personally come to greet us" said Issei smiling.
"Well I wanted to see what has become of the Hyoudou household and talk about something" said Sirzechs with a serious face and tone.
"And that is?" asked Issei as he and his sister also got serious.
"We think that the organization that Katerea mentioned chaos brigade will try and attack the gathering" said Sirzechs with a serious tone.
"That is a possibility what makes you so sure about this?" asked Issei.
"Because in this gathering we have invited the leader of Norse Faction Lord Odin for a peace meeting and we believe that they will try and do something which could cause a war between our two factions" replied Sirzechs while drinking his tea.
"So what do you want from us?" asked Issei confused at why did he reveal such information in front of him.
"I want you and your peerage to be prepared for any kind of situation" said Sirzechs as he finished his tea and put the cup down.
"You count on it" said Issei with a grin on his face which made Sirzechs smile.
"Thanks now I think I should be going" said Sirzechs as he got up and prepared to leave.
"Won't you stay for dinner?" asked Asaka.
"No if I don't go back now my life will be over" said Sirzechs at which both Issei and Asaka laughed while he just shivered.
"Bye then" said Issei as Sirzechs teleported away.
'I think I should inform my peerage about this' said Issei as he and his sister left the living room.
Issei gathered all the members of his peerage and told them about the situation and everything that was said to him.
"So now we are going to be on guard duty" said Esdeath.
"No but we were told to be ready for any situation also it's not confirmed yet either so you can relax as well" said Issei to which everyone nodded.
"So the bet is off then?" asked Kucabara with hope.
"No it's still on" said Issei with a smirk crushing his hopes completely.
"Now come on let's eat diner" said Issei walking to the dining room with everyone following him.
After that everyone ate diner while talking to each other on various things and Issei asked about the training to which the phenex girls winced while both Izayoi and Taimat smirked.
-Time skip gathering-
All the leaders of the three leaders were also present and were waiting for the Norse leader to show up. While Issei was talking to his cousin Sairaorg.
While Kucabara and Izayoi were talking to girls from other devils peerages to win the bet.
As the leaders were talking to each other a magical circle appeared and out came two people a middle aged man and a woman who appeared to be in her late teens.
The man slightly shorter than the woman with white hair and a long white beard he was the leader of the Norse faction Odin all father himself.
The women had long silver hair and blue eyes and was wearing a Valkyrie armor and it also looked like she was here to guard the man.
"Ah good to see you're still growing old" greeted Azazel with a smirk as he crossed arms. Odin laughed and stroked his beard while his assistant sighed in annoyance.
"And it appears that all of you continue to look as young as ever, good to see you all again" greeted Odin with a smile, Sirzechs and Ajuka nodded at him, Serafall merely glanced at the God and turned her attention back to Issei. Sirzechs noticed it and sighed.
"It truly warms my heart to see that you've decided to assist us" said Michael getting a huff of amusement from Odin.
"Well whatever it takes to stop this Khaos Brigade I'm all for it" said Odin as he sat down on one of multiple seats meant for the Devil kings, Archangels and himself.
"Although it seems some of your Gods aren't in full approval?" inquired Ajuka with a raised eyebrow to which Odin sighed and nodded.
"Indeed, most of them are against an alliance with the Three Biblical Factions, but they'll adjust" confirmed Odin taping his staff.
"But anyways I'm quite excited to perhaps to take some devil women with me" said Odin causing other powerful beings to laugh.
"Lord Odin please remember to control you urges" said the Valkyrie assistant.
"You need to loosen up a bit, it's no wonder you haven't lost your V-card yet" suggested Odin causing the assistant to tear up and fell on her feet.
"Forgive her she's rather my sensitive assistant Rosswisse" pardoned Odin with a sigh, but Sirzechs waved it off, they would begin soon.
-Scene break-
At the bottom floor Rias and Issei had followed Koneko who had ran and entered an elevator. Rias had sensed that something was off so she followed while Issei saw Rias leaving so he also followed her to see what happened.
Once they arrived at the bottom floor and Issei met up with Rias and asked what was up so she told him and both of them went after Koneko when they arrived they saw her in an open space while they observed her from behind the bushes.
"What are you doing here Kuroka?!" demanded Koneko suspiciously. Kuroka was a beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure with black hair and gold eyes with cat like pupils who was on the tree she was also wearing a black Kimono.
"I came here for you Shirone. Although I am impressed that you sensed me simply because I released a portion of my chakra it's a proof of our powerful sisterly bond" said Kuroka as she jumped down the tree.
"No! I will never come back with you!" declared Koneko with an angry and hurt expression. Before Kuroka could reply Bikou had appeared right next to her.
"You can sense the two behind those bushes right?" asked Bikou with a grin Kuroka glanced at him before turning to look at the bushes right behind her sister. Rias and Issei stepped out of the bushes.
When Kuroka looked at Issei who was smirking her expression froze which didn't went unnoticed by everyone and replaced with an expression of happiness.
"So we meet again Kuroka" said Issei smirking to which everyone was completely confused and looked at the two off them.
"Issei where have you been you know how lonely have I been without you" said Kurako with a seductive voice to which Rias glared at her.
"Well you know my business was complete so I had to go and because of you my training was delayed when you told me the wrong shop" said Issei reminding her about the incident to which she giggled.
Before they could talk any more Rias decided to speak up and ask about the situation. "Ise mind telling me how do you know her?" Rias asked clearly not liking the fact how they talk to each other.
"Calm down Rias we met in Kyoto when I was training and went there for buy something and when I asked her about the directions she told me the wrong shop after which I had to search the entire area to look and came across her and made her pay and we eventually became friends" explained Issei as he chuckled.
"Any way listen Kuroka. Koneko is a member of my peerage and she will never join you" declared Rias casing Kuroka to smirk.
"She my sister first and do you think I will give up just because you deem it?" asked Kuroka.
"Other things aside why are you both here?" asked Issei curiously looking at the both of them.
"Oh we're just escorts to a certain god who doesn't like the purpose of this gathering of yours" said Kuroka with a smirk to which Issei let out a small laugh.
"A single god! With my peerage up there you don't need to worry" said Issei with a smirk. "And also forget about your sister for the time being while I'm here you won't take her" said Issei walking back to building with Rias following him with Koneko.
"I will take her back one day and even you won't be able to stop me" declared Kuroka as she also went in the opposite direction.
-Scene Break-
Back at the gathering
"Objection" said a man with light blue hair floating behind him with two bangs on his face and eyes like a delinquent. Odin sighed a looked at the man who had interrupted the ceremony.
"Loki if you return to Valhalla now I will forgive you for this interruption" said Odin but Loki laughed and spat on the ground
"You can shove your forgiveness" mocked Loki with a smirk.
"Great, another man without respect" said Rossweisse as she rushed to protect Odin.
"Seeing out almighty All Father align with lesser mythologies hurts my pride as an Asgardian, therefore I have decided to put a stop to this nonsense right this instant" declared Loki as a big blue magical circle appeared and a massive wolf materialized.
"Fenrir" said Sirzechs as he recognized the wolf. Fenrir is a ten meter tall wolf with grayish blue fur and had two big yellow horns coming out of its shoulders.
"Go! Show them a sample of Ragnarok!" ordered Loki as Fenrir howled and threshed around destroying multiple structures. A few debris was about to his Gasper and Asia which was destroyed by Akeno's lightening attack.
Fenrir saw this and was about to attack Akeno until he was struck with even greater Lightning and was forced back.
"This girl is off limits beast" said Baraqiel as he defended his daughter. Fenrir was about to attack again but his feet were frozen in ice created by Esdeath. While it was trying to break free Izayoi jumped and punched him in the face breaking a few teeth.
"You dare to hurt my son" said Loki as he was about to attack until he was stopped by a green glow under his and Fenrir.
"Beelzebub?!" blurted out Loki before he and he were trapped in a triangular magical prison and teleported somewhere else. All the Leaders sighed in relief as the threat was gone for now.
All the girls other than their peerage members gathered around Izayoi while the males surrounded Esdeath and asked them various questions. Izayoi looked at Kucabara as he smirked to which he trembled.
"That won't hold him for long" informed Ajuka, Sirzechs nodded and was quick to postpone the gathering for the moment.
At the same time Issei accompanied with Rias and Koneko and looked around.
"Did I missed something?" asked Issei looking around to which his sister came and explained the situation to him. After listening to the situation he went to Sirzechs.
"So what's the plan now?" asked Issei as he looked at the Maou who was standing with the leaders and discussing about the action as Sirzechs heard Issei's voice he looked his way.
"Well we need you and your peerage to go and stop him from continuing his plan to start Ragnarok" said Sirzechs to which Issei smirked.
"Also take my assistant with you she will be a great help to you" offered Odin to which Rossweisse stepped forward as Issei looked at her. She blushed slightly from his gaze on her but she quickly shook it off.
"Okay then let's go" said Issei as he prepared a magical circle to teleport away as he stopped by Rias's voice calling out to him.
"Issei wait!" said Rias to which Issei stopped preparing a magical circle and looked at her.
"Yes?" asked Issei to which she approached him when she arrived in front on him she looked at him.
"I want you to take us with you" said Rias with full determination.
"Us?" asked Issei tilting his head in confusion.
"Yes me and my peerage we would like to help as well we can't just stay still while everyone was fighting" said Rias to which Issei observed her for a few moments then nodded.
"Okay then let's go" said Issei to which Rias's face brighten up.
Everyone from Issei's peerage and his fiancés peerage also Rosswiesse were standing behind him. Sona also wanted to come but Issei said she should stay here and also her sister was not letting her go fight a dangers battle so she was forced to stay.
As everyone arrived they saw that the seal around Loki and Fenrir started to crack. Suddenly brock and both he and Fenrir were free and were very angry.
"You dare to lock me in a prison I will destroy you all" as Loki said this many magical circles appeared and out came Skoll, Hati Hroovitnisson and many Midgardsormr.
"Kill them!" ordered Loki to which all of them raised a roar and attacked Issei and his group.
Issei put up a protective barrier over them to keep them all safe while they discuss the plan.
"Okay guys now here is the plan we will split into groups and fight them separately" said Issei as he divided them into groups and removed the barrier with a blast which caused the enemies to back away a liitle.
"Alright guys get to your positions just like we discussed okay" as Issei said that everyone nodded and went their way in groups while Issei levitated in air and flew towards Loki.
"So shall we get this started" said Issei as he got into battle stance.
"Do you think a lowly devil like can …" Loki was cut off by a punch on his face which caused him to come crashing to the ground creating a crater.
"Man that felt good" said Issei looking satisfied. Loki got up and quickly flew towards Issei with amazing speed and stopped in front of him.
"You will pay for this" said Loki as he attacked Issei with a magical attack which Issei easily dodged. Issei disappeared from his position and arrived in front of Loki and kicked him in the stomach which caused him to puke blood.
"I suggest you give up" said Issei looking at Loki who was holding his stomach with one hand and using the other to whip blood from his face.
"Me give up? I still have an army I will destroy you and the people you care about" threatened Loki which caused Issei to glare at him with anger visible on his face.
"You try and lay a finger on them and I will make sure that you die slowly and painfully" threatened Issei raising his aura which caused Loki to unconsciously move back.
Suddenly Fenrir jumped from behind Issei and tried to devour him but unlucky for him Issei saw him coming and punched him upward then grabbed his tail and threw him towards a hill and after it finally crashed with a mega sound.
Fenrir was trying to get up but suddenly a magical circle appeared on the hill and out came two people first was Kuroka and second was a handsome young man with blond here with two swords hanging to his waist.
"Greetings I am Arthur Pendragon from the team Vali" said the man who introduced himself as Arthur as he bowed. After he raised his head he looked towards Loki.
"Lord Loki we will be taking the custody from now" said Arthur as he took out one of his swords and impaled Fenrir in the head which caused him lose consciousness.
"And why would you do that?" asked Loki looking a bit irritated.
"Apparently Vali is interested in his God slaying fangs" said Arthur as a magical circle appeared under Fenrir and he disappeared in the magical circle.
Kuroka who was besides Arthur looked towards Koneko was standing near Rias with her cat ears and tail in full display.
"Finally your ears and tail make an appearance" said Kuroka looking pleased as she looked at her sister.
"Maybe Kuroka but I will never be like you" said Koneko.
"We'll see about that" said Kuroka as she and Arthur disappeared inside a magical circle.
"Damn you White Dragon Emperor you were behind Fenrir from the start weren't you" yelled Loki after he turned towards Issei who had smug look on his face.
"Now let's finish this shall we" said Issei as he raised his aura more which caused Loki shake in fear. After that Issei used magic to knock Loki unconscious.
After they defeated remaining enemies they teleported back. After entrusting Loki to Odin they bid farewell and were ready to teleport away when he was stooped when Odin called out to him.
"Wait young man" called out Odin to which everyone turned to him.
"Yes?" said Issei as he turned around to look at Odin who was walking with his assistant and coming towards them.
"I have a request to make" said Odin as he stopped in front of them.
"And that is?" asked Issei with a curious look.
"I would like you to take my assistant here with you" said Odin to which Rossweisse stepped forward and bowed.
"And the reason of why are you giving her to us?" asked Issei with slight suspicion.
"Because she is no use to me and I want her to learn about different things and have new experiences if you know what I mean" said Odin with a perverted smirk on his face to which Issei nodded.
"I accept but she won't be in my peerage because I don't have a suitable piece for her so she will be in Rias's peerage" said Issei shocking Rias and making Odin smile on the other hand the Valkyrie was a little disappointed.
After that Rias reincarnated her into her rook and after everyone was done they teleported back home.
*Hyoudou Household*
"Man that was something" said Kucabara as he sat down on the sofa looking tired with everyone joining him afterwards.
"I'll say" said Izayoi also sitting down with Issei following him in deep thoughts.
'Nice looks like they don't remember about the bet or I would have been in a great trouble' thought Issei as he was happily dancing inside his mind but appeared normal on the outside also Kucabara was in the same situation.
"Now let's talk about the bet shall we" said Izayoi at which both Issei's and Kucabara's faces became stiff.
"As you know I have won the bet so I can tell you to do whatever I want" said Izayoi to which both of the other participants were terrified they were thinking the worst things he can make them do and they were going mad inside their heads.
"Okay what do you want us to do?" said Issei defeated while both he and Kucabara were looking down on the floor while everyone was desperately waiting to hear.
"Simple. I want you to do is….." said Izayoi to which everyone eyes widen.
