Wazzup?! How have you all been? Hows the holiday? How was Christmas? How was your new year? I hope it wasn't annoying like mine was. I wanted to post two chapters on January 1 but my service providers did me bad. I had almost Zero byte internet speed and ffn did its own thing. I couldn't switch to desktop mode for days. Anyhow, i'm back now.
Have fun reading.
darth56: don't mention.
.9: I will.
Renaxan: That's how we do.
Theotakuboy: You're lucky, you will see more of his power in the next few chapters.
ArrowsToAthens: Naruto will improve eventually, I think.
VinceteVanCoco04: Here's a new chapter so scroll down and find out.
Nickclause: Thanks man.
Lightningblade49: They think themselves above humans and that is true but Naruto is different.
Spark681: Spark-san, thank you. You haven't seen anything yet.
Plums: well, you are not wrong. Naruto is taking shit and he could care less about the devils so he refrains from proving his strength to those he deems unworthy. He's always going at smooth pace, never drawing attention to himself for a reason. A very important reason that will revealed later on.
Issy786: i can understand you guys but know that Naruto was obstructing justice. He was housing a criminal, they have the right to attack him if he showed resistance.
Dasgun: My buddy dasugun. The emoticon man himself. Happy new year my friend.
Hue: You are right guest-san. Its their fault for letting the demon escape. A mistake on their part.
IntircateHummingbird: Thanks man.
Blacxbeauty: Narutoxyasaka…? Hmm.
Blacxbeauty: You know, i never knew you guys would hate Rias and Kuroka that much so it's kinda unexpected.
Lilhuesos: thanks man.
Darkdom III: Let me start by saying thanks for reading my story but unfortunately, this ain't a harem fic. Naruto is stuck with one girl. Just one.
Polito Gordon: Here's two chapters.
Yes I'm posting two chapters.
This chapter was beta-ed by my man, destructo08.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Highschool dxd but i own my ass.
Chapter 14
"Oh, Hell no! There's no way I'm riding with a bat colony!"
Yep, you guessed it right… One Naruto Uzumaki shot up to his feet and yelled indignantly.
Here is what happened after the little skirmish in the last chapter.
Naruto retold his fight with the demon in a… vague manner leaving important bits about his abilities but he noticed the eyes of the devils widened a fraction when he told them he was able to drag the demon out of the child it possessed.
In that moment, Serafall's eyes glazed over. A certain gleam in her eyes as she stared into the distance. Naruto Uzumaki was undoubtedly the 'unknown factor', he was baffling, to say the least, and now that this opportunity had provided itself, she would take full advantage of it. Hence her proposal and the blonde reacted in a wild… manner to say the least.
Naruto shot up to his feet glaring at Serafall—the couch was even taller than she was—who returned his glare with a calm look. The blonde refused to let them in but relented when Gaia told him to let them in, though he did complain about bats infesting his house or something. After the little outburst, the blonde was already moving, making a beeline to the door. Naruto held his hand on the doorknob and flung the door wide open for the devils... His glare said it all.
A simple unspoken 'Leave'.
Serafall knew he'd decline her offer but she was hoping she wouldn't have to pull the ace up her sleeves but now she had to if she wanted the blonde to cooperate.
"Kuroka's sins will be pardoned," She said, only raising an eyebrow as Naruto's expression faltered.
"W-what?" He stuttered.
"'Kuroka… If you help us fight the demon all her sins will be pardoned… I give you my word."
Naruto turned his body around like a machine, his brain already processing the string of curses perfect for the devil group and as he was about to spit them out, he stopped. Taking a quick glance at Kuroka who was a few feet away from the chair he occupied a moment ago. He held her gaze, which portrayed something that was a mix of worry and trepidation which made him grimace.
Sure Kuroka was as annoying as a housefly buzzing around in one's face, and quite a nosy one at that, but he had come to care about her.
"It's your choice, Naruto." The former Sitri said, looking from Naruto to Kuroka.
Gaia watched it all munching on a cookie besides Martha. "You're poorly misinformed devils but, I wonder, what's he gonna do...?" She said, staring at the devil group like they were lost sheep.
On the other hand, riding with the devils might prove a thrilling experience after all. He could give them a sneak peek of his power level and at the same time send a subtle warning; don't fuck with me.
Naruto sucked in air sharply and exhaled loudly. He raised two fingers and said, "Only on two conditions."
"Do you think you're in a position to give conditions?" Souji asked, glaring at the man who could make him go out of character with his presence alone.
"Do you want my help or not?" He asked, irritation sipping into his voice.
"I'd rather take the peaceful route. Provided the conditions are fair, yes." Serafall said shifting in the chair.
"One, I'll help track and contain it. I won't be doing any fighting. I was this close to defeat and I don't want to die prematurely." Gaia raised an eyebrow at Naruto. That wasn't what he told her. "Two, let's not see each other again when we are done."
"You have a deal then, Naruto."
Naruto sighed for what felt like the millionth time that day.
Fate had fucked with him and trouble had laid in bed with him.
The latest stunt; He just became a posse for devils.
(Scene Change: The Underworld, Unknown Location)
A brown-haired, brown-eyed youth was being smacked around a clearing by a purple, bipedal, overgrown, winged lizard.
Huge streams and balls of flames chased the brown-haired youth around and he tried his best to avoid them and at the same time, tried to inflict some damage back to the dragon many times his size.
Keyword: tried.
Now you might ask why a dragon was smacking the hell outta a defenseless boy, it's simple actually. It for a single reason; training.
The black-haired 'pervert-in-arms' ORC consultant deemed his stamina and durability levels mediocre so here he was getting whipped into shape by Tannin. He took solace in the fact that he wasn't the only one going through a rigorous training and hoped his fellow peerage members were having it as hard as he was.
"Focus, Sekiryyutei!"
His moment of distraction cost him a few inches of his hair. The smell of burnt hair sparked a hunger for grilled meat in Issei.
After getting smacked around and getting smacked some more, Tannin decided to call it a day and here they were, man- Err- reincarnated devil with a dragon- err- reincarnated devil dragon? Beside a bonfire to recuperate and keep warm.
"You'll have to achieve balance breaker if you want to win the rating game," Tannin stated, his voice thick and booming.
"Yeah, I know. I achieved balance breaker once."
"Really?"
"More like I was beaten close to death by my sensei in the human world."
"Can you?"
"Do what?"
"Activate balance breaker?"
"No, I haven't felt that feeling of despair he put in me that made me activate it from anyone else."
"What if i-"
"Don't even say it or think about it!"
Issei wasn't looking forward to reliving that feeling, not anytime soon. As he idly poked the flames with a twig, the ground he sat on split open and he jumped away from the spot landing in a defensive stance.
"Impressive. Though I wouldn't have expected any less from the Red Dragon Emperor."
"Who are you?"
"Call me Sairaorg. I'm just trying to weed out the competition"
"Uh, OK."
"Well then, HyoudouHyodou, train well and let'slets have a memorable battle later."
"What a weird guy" Issei commented looking at the stranger in the sky.
(The next day: Uzumaki Mansion)
"Naruto-san! Naruto-san!"
Naruto's eyes snapped open and he had to suppress his ninja reflexes or he would have pinned Martha to the bed and her blood would have stained his bedsheet, courtesy of the Kunais hidden in the seals on his wrists.
"Marie?"
"He's regained consciousness!" Martha yelled.
"Who?"
.
.
.
The Uzumaki Mansion living room was full and at the same time silent for once. Martha and Kuroka sat on the side couch while Naruto, Gaia, John and the little boy Naruto rescued were on the long couch.
The boy was between Naruto and Gaia while John was beside the goddess. He kept staring at the ground before Gaia took the initiative and started a conversation.
"How are you feeling?"
The boy didn't react at all. Just kept on staring at Naruto's floor.
"He's been unresponsive," Martha told the blonde with a look of pity.
"Well, being possessed by an old-urk" Gaia elbowed Naruto in the stomach. Naruto pushed the offending hand aside and glared at Gaia.
The boy was suffering an inner turmoil. He knew something possessed him and it was a miracle Naruto found him on time.
"We've tried everything to get his attention but he's not responding,." Kuroka spoke up.
Naruto tilted his head and placed an open palm in front of the boy at his eye level. The adults in the room all raised an eyebrow at this before their confusion turned to fascination when the sound of a Rasengan being created filled the room. A perfect Rasengan, glowing and swirling in all its chaotic glory caught the boy's attention and he was mesmerized by it.
"Wow!" He exclaimed, his eyes lighting up like a Christmas tree.
Naruto let a smirk grace his face before he balled his fist, ending the Jutsu.
"What was that?" John asked the question that was on everyone's mind with awe on his face. Very few got to see the Rasengan up close outside of battle situations, after all.
The boy pouted and his countenance fell.
"Rasengan," Naruto said again, recreating his father's technique and the boy was captivated again. Naruto balled his fist shut, canceling the Jutsu. The boy pouted and stared at Naruto who inclined his head towards his fist, giving him a nod.
"Rashengan?" The boy called the jutsu's name, staring at Naruto when nothing happened.
"Ra-sen-gan," Naruto pronounced.
"Ra-senn-gan?" The boy repeated with improvement this time. And his effort was rewarded when a wind style Rasengan burst into life instantly in Naruto's hand. The boy jumped and clapped and made to touch it before Naruto stretched his arm to lengths the little boy couldn't reach.
Naruto snorted at the crestfallen expression the boy displayed.
"Me, Naruto. You?"
"S-Shimura."
Somehow, Gaia felt proud watching the interaction between Naruto and the now named Shimura. He could be a big softie sometimes that blondie.
"Do you know where your house is?" Naruto asked.
"No."
"Your parents?" Gaia spoke up beside the boy.
"No."
"Do you remember anything or anyone?" John questioned.
"No. Shimura has no daddy or mommy."
Martha gasped, being an orphan, at a young age like Shimura, she knew the hardships involved, and he was all alone too, unlike her. At least she had John. The platinum-blonde haired detective shifted uncomfortably and an air of sympathy filled the living room until Naruto flicked the boy on the head and scoffed as he rolled his eyes.
"Naruto!" Kuroka barked.
"Tell me, Shimura, where's your mom?" Naruto asked all traces of friendliness gone.
"What are you doing, Naruto? He just told us-" Naruto abruptly cut John off when he remembered he was the only empath in the house.
"He's lying."
"What?"
"Shimura thought it was better if you didn't know about Shimura's Mommy," The boy said his first sentence. He paused when he saw that he had gained everyone's attention. "My Daddy is dead and Mommy tried her best to take care of Shimura. She loved Shimura, she cared for Shimura and Shimura was happy but then, Takeshi-teme came to our house."
"Takeshi-teme? How old is this boy?" Gaia pondered.
"Takeshi-teme married Mommy and since then, Mommy didn't treat Shimura like before. Mommy ignored Shimura. Takeshi-teme took Shimura's Mommy away from Shimura."
"He was neglected."
"Stupid woman," Naruto hissed.
"Hey! Shimura's Mommy isn't stupid. She's beautiful, caring and s-she's, s-she's my Mommy." Little Shimura tried to defend his beloved mother. "She'll love Shimura back if Shimura endures. Shimura will win her heart back again… Believe it!"
The boy spoke with such confidence the adults' hearts swelled.
Naruto shot up to his feet after the boy's speech and said, "Oi, Kozo," he narrowed his eyes at the boy, "where's your Mommy at?"
(Scene Change: The Underworld)
Today was undoubtedly an auspicious day for all of devilkind. Today marks a change in the supernatural world's history and the young devils gathered today in this fancy party were the witnesses to this great historic event. The Chief deity of the Norse mythology, Odin, would grace them with his presence today and sign the peace treaty. The importance of this event is so great to Devils and Asgardians alike and the benefits of this treaty becoming a success for both parties is too great to ignore.
Of course, peace loved to play hard-to-get only this time around, some of the Norse deities weren't in consensus with Odin's decision and none of them was more furious than the Norse god of mischief, Loki. As if Loki wasn't a handful, the threat known as Khaos Brigade lurks in the shadows, their goal; to sabotage the treaty.
The leaders of the big three were ever vigilant in order to prevent something like that from happening. The archangel Michael and the governor general of the fallen angels were present on the podium awaiting Odin. The Maous were present too with the exception of one Serafall Leviathan.
Among the crowd of young devils, Rias Gremory and her peerage were present, Sona Sitri and her peerage too were present, Sairaorg and his devil servants, Diodora Astaroth just to mention a few were all among the crowd chatting away to kill time before the arrival of Odin.
The devils didn't have to wait long though because Odin arrived right on time. The chief Norse god was flanked by Baraqiel, a fallen angel and father to Akeno Himejima, and the Virgin Valkyrie, Rossweisse.
The young devils had their attention on the Old Cyclops. Very few out of Asgard got the opportunity to see Odin in all his Old perverted glory after all. A certain brown-haired pervert voiced his surprise in a rather loud manner.
"It's Odin!" Issei pointed at the one-eyed god.
"Issei-kun, it's rude to point," Kiba corrected.
The gang was together, ready to witness history in the making. Today, the Norse Faction and the Devil faction are going to sign a peace treaty but unfortunately, like always, a peace treaty, a summit, or a gathering of leaders of any kind is bound to attract trouble.
Odin, chief deity of the Norse Faction, accompanied by Baraqiel, a loyal fallen angel, and Rossweisse, his bodyguard walked to the group of devil leaders noticing the absence of one Serafall Leviathan.
"It's been a while, shitty old man from the far North,." Azazel said with a smile on his face.
"It's been a while, bratty one," Odin replied stroking his beard.
"Lord Odin, on behalf of the devils present, I welcome you," Sirzechs greeted.
"Oh Sirzechs, how are you boy?" He asked. The leaders exchanged formal greetings then Odin introduced his bodyguard, Rossweisse. "This one here is Rossweisse, full of potential. She's too serious and no man gives her the time of the day that's why she's still a virgin."
Said Virgin Valkyrie mourned her single status and her virginity.
"I can't help but notice, where's the short brat, Serafall?"
The leaders tensed all of a sudden, not knowing how to cover for Serafall. "She running late, and had to take care of something important,." Azazel spoke up for the group.
"Hm, I see." Odin stroked his beard again.
Sirzechs gave a short speech about the peace treaty and their promise to strive towards peace and harmony in the supernatural world and his vision to create a solid relationship with the Norse faction. To fight against the terrorist organization, Khaos Brigade.
After his speech, he turned to Odin and said, "Lord Odin, if you have no objections, please sign the treaty."
Stroking his long beard, Odin nodded moving toward the monument. He let a grunt escape his lips, ignoring the foreboding feeling in his gut, the old cyclops moved forward and as he was about to place his palm on the treaty, effectively signing it, his hand a millimeter away from sealing the deal, before a voice from nowhere interrupted him.
"I Object!"
"So you came after all, Loki," Odin smirked, eyeing Loki who was levitating in the air.
A white-blue magic circle appeared in thin air and out came Loki, in all his godly glory shining in a bright white suit, and the Norse god of Mischief wasn't happy. At all.
"Well, this is a rare guest," Azazel commented.
The young devils and the guards present were at alert seeing Loki levitating in the air a mean stare directed at Odin. They moved to intercept Loki at the slightest hostile move.
"Lord Loki, though you are a Norse god, you have no right to cause havoc here." Sirzechs was displeased.
"You Old fool! Asgard still suffers from the damage she received yet here you are signing nonsense treaties with devils!" Loki spat ignoring everyone except Odin.
The leaders and the young devils present had a perplexed look on their face. Rossweisse, from her place beside Odin, balled her fists in anger at the mention of the damage Asgard received from a terrorist attack.
"Loki, if you return to Valhalla now, I'll forgive you," Odin told Loki with a displeased look on his face.
"Forgive me? Don't joke around, old geezer. If you ally us with other mythologies we won't be able to achieve Ragnarok… Oh, The twilight of the gods was once at our fingertips… How glorious would it have been If not for that-"
"Cease your mouth, Loki!" Odin yelled.
"Silence, Old Fool!" Loki yelled back.
"How dare you speak to our great father that way?!" Rossweisse, the virgin Valkyrie, moved forward.
Loki tore his glare from Odin and directed It at Rossweisse. "You foolish Child. Was it not the one you defend who forbade you from going after the one you declared your arch-enemy"
Rossweisse gritted her teeth in confusion and anger.
"Loki!" Odin yelled.
"Odin kept you in the dark thinking that's what best for you…" Loki stopped for a moment, a contemplating look on his face. "Yes, it's best you don't know about the events surrounding that incident."
"Loki, you were there that day, what happened? I have a right to know!" Rossweisse asked, her burning curiosity taking control.
Loki raised an eyebrow at her, an emotion akin to pity. "Even if you know, there's nothing you can do about it, for the one you seek is eons beyond you."
"Loki!" A long staff materialized in Odin's right hand.
"Enough of this Old Man, Let's get down to business. Come forth, my beloved son."
Loki let Fenrir loose on the devils.
Fenrir crash-landed among the young devils, pounding on the guards and killing them instantly with its fangs or ripping them to shreds with its claws. Loki watched the chaos below with a diabolical smirk on his face. The stronger young devils all circled the wolf, intent on capturing it. The cornered wolf growled at the group.
Loki smirked in the air before he felt a shift in the air and spared a sideways glance at the leaders present, the ones who actually posed a threat. A green glow surrounded him and he couldn't even complete a sentence before he disappeared with Fenrir. "What the-"
Swish
And the god of mischief was gone thanks to the timely actions of Ajuka Beelzebub. Everyone relaxed and some let out a breath of relief. Luckily Ajuka sent him away with a magic circle before he dealt more damage.
(Scene Change: Somewhere in Kuoh)
A tall blonde man knocked on a red wooden door of a normal two-terrace house, receiving no reply, he tried again.
"I don't think they're in," John said beside Naruto holding Shimura's hand.
Ticked off, he tried again only this time, he almost blew the doors off its hinges, leaving a huge dent on it.
He heard someone yell incoherent profanities before it was accompanied by hurried footsteps before the door was swung open by a potbellied bespectacled man. He glared at Naruto not recognizing the blonde before he inspected John beside him. Recognition dawned on the man when he saw John. Why was the detective at his front door? He hoped it was a friendly visit before he saw the child between Naruto and John. He narrowed his eyes at the boy who in return flinched under the man's glare.
"Boy, you stayed out late again? Looks like I haven't educated you properly," He said, readjusting his glasses. "Who are you gentleman?" He asked, staring at John. Naruto snorted at the bespectacled man.
"I'm John Hunter from Kuoh Police Department. I found your son-"
"Stepson," He corrected.
John sighed and continued, "Stepson lost and alone in the cold of the night. Why haven't you filed a report of a missing person?"
"I didn't notice he was missing." Was the simple reply he gave.
"Y-you didn't notice? Do you how long-" John stuttered only to be cut off by the pot-bellied man.
"Come in, Shimura. Looks like I'll have to re-educate you on how to be a good boy again," He said,
Shimura's stepfather stretched his hand out to grab Shimura but a lightning-fast hand with a crushing grip took a hold of his wrist.
"Hold on there, four eyes."
"What's the meaning of this?" He glared at Naruto.
"We are not quite done here."
Another pitter-patter from behind Shimura's stepfather ruins the mood as a lavender-haired woman rushed to her husband's side.
"Dear, who's-" She looked between the young adults before her eyes landed on her son. "Shimura! Where have you been?" She gripped the boy's hand and he whimpered under her callous touch. "Why did it take you so long? The grocery store is just a few blocks away!"
Naruto, growing increasingly tired of the charade butted in with a snort. "Long? Do you even remember what day it is?"
Shimura's Mom bristled furrowing her eyebrows at Naruto. "Listen Mr…" She trailed off expecting Naruto to give her his name. "Let go of my husband and Shimura."
"Hey, are you deaf, stupid, or both?" Naruto questioned.
The lavender-haired woman was quite startled and so were the men present.
"Naruto-san! That's Shimura's Kaa-chan!" Shimura wasn't going to let Naruto insult his beloved mother like that! Even though he knew she deserved it.
"Do you even remember the day you saw him last?
?!"
"I saw my son yesterday night!" She said as if it was the surest thing on earth.
"Is she for real?" John wondered with a sweatdrop.
"Those who break the rules are scum but those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum. A mother who abandons her son is… Worthless scum."
"Look here "
"I'm not talking to you, four eyes." Naruto gave the man his famous cold glare.
"Your son was all alone in the dark, vulnerable to all kinds of things. Did you know your son went through hell and back? Did you know your son was this close to dying? Did you know! It's been! Three days! Three fucking days since your son has been unconscious? Did you know you've been a bad mother because you've been neglecting him? Did you know… He still strives to win your heart? To see you stare at him with love and affection?"
"Woah… I wish I had a camera! This is the longest sentence and I've ever heard from Naruto, and what's more is that it's filled with so much emotion!" John gawked.
Shimura's Mom was visibly shocked. The Blondie wasn't pulling any punches. "What do you mean neglect-" She whispered, her pupils shrinking when she realized she had been neglecting her son all these years and she wept. She wept because of her stupidity, she wept because of her pathetic self falling hopelessly in love with a man to a point where she forgot her own son, because that same child she neglected was by her side wiping the tears off her face with a worried look that shouldn't be on a child's face and she did the only thing she could to portray her feelings. She drew him closer to her arms and engulfed him in a deep hug, crying on his tiny shoulders and berating herself.
Takeshi sighed and told John his story.
He was happily married to his highschool sweetheart before she died two years later of cancer. He was broken and grief-stricken and in his misery, he met a woman going through the same thing he was going through by his side with two children.
Sharing the same pain, they understood and comforted each other and before he knew it, they both fell in love. He loved the kids as if they were his own and the kids loved him as if he was their biological father. Life was good and all before he learned they were after his money and the love was all fake.
They succeeded in duping him and he was left all alone again never to hear from the woman who told him she would always be by his side and the kids. In his suffering, he met Shimura's mom and they had a rocky start but once again, a woman wormed her way into his heart and this time around, she had a kid… Again. He was skeptical and unwilling at first but married her nonetheless and then, he decided to neglect the four-year-old Shimura back then.
At some point, his heart told him to give the boy a chance and not to let the experience with the other kids define Shimura but his brain told him to ignore the child he wasn't related to. Shimura was someone else's child, he repeated. But now, he knew he was making a big mistake as his wife truly loved her son. He tried his best to make her forget about Shimura only to realize he was a monster for trying to separate mother and child.
"Shimura… I-I'm sorry. I'm sorry for neglecting you." Takeshi worked up the nerve to apologize which made John smile.
"So I guess my work here is done."
(Scene Change: Uzumaki Mansion)
Gaia watched Martha intently as she helped her in the kitchen with the finesse of a full-fledged housewife. The little Hunter grew on her after they started living together and it's only been a week. She was well mannered, bright, and innocent. The trinket on her neck moved around as she shifted her weight. Talking about trinkets, the mother goddess remembered the conversation she had with John and Naruto on the night Naruto fought the demon that ultimately led to the blonde agreeing, reluctantly, to letting the siblings stay in the Uzumaki Mansion.
(Flashback)
"Pffffffff-"
Naruto spat out a mouth full of water.
"Oi, oi, oi! What do you mean 'stay with us'?!" He yelled greatly perturbed.
"What do you mean stay?" John questioned.
"It all makes sense now, the increase in crime rates, the sinister signature I've been sensing… He's escaped." Gaia said staring into the distance.
"Oi," Naruto snapped his finger in Gaia's face. "You haven't explained yourself. Why should they stay with me?"
"Naruto, maybe it's fate but the fact you've saved John & Martha once, and dragged the demon out of a host means you're the only one capable of keeping them safe."
"Well, I beg to differ. I've looked after my sister all these years just fine! We're better off alone." John said.
"Guys-"
"You heard the pig, case closed,." Naruto added.
"Listen-"
"Fine!" John bark!
"He's-" Gaia tried to talk but was cut off again and her frustration rose to extreme heights.
"Yeah, I have better things to do than fight off a demon!"
"Shut up both of you!" Gaia screamed uncharacteristically making both men quiet down. Naruto went silent instantly because of the look on Gaia's face. Gaia stared at Martha. Such a young, innocent girl burdened with a fate beyond her was cruel. The one with power wasn't even using his power to help and it was frustrating. Maybe if he knew of her fate, he'd change and start caring for the girl. After all, Naruto's a sucker for a sob story.
"A word with you two?" Gaia said, inclining her head towards Naruto's room.
John nodded, if only reluctantly, and walked towards Naruto's room. The blonde glared at Gaia before he sighed and followed nonetheless.
After locking the door behind her, Gaia raised an eyebrow at Naruto. The blonde huffed and went through three handsigns. A faint glow surrounded the room and he flopped on the bed.
"John, do you even know what's after you and your sister?"
"Something dangerous?" He stated, more like asked.
"You guys are the last Hunters left so I can't blame you for being ignorant," She sighed.
"What's with this whole danger thing anyway? I killed the demon. Problem solved, threat neutralized. A simple thank you would suffice," Naruto added the last part, glaring at John.
"You're strong Naruto but if you fought with Ashirok, I would have sensed a fight of that calibre and other go-" Naruto coughed stopping her from revealing her identity. "Other powerful beings would have sensed it too." She finished beating herself mentally.
"That thing was pretty weak Gaia."
"What kind of ability did it display?"
"It could stretch its arms and use magic circles," Naruto remarked.
"I see… Maybe you might as well have added to their problems."
"Hey, what did I do?"
"Ashirok is an old demon, as old as some of the most powerful beings out there." Naruto raised an eyebrow at that. That thing was as old as some gods? "It was so powerful it was deemed immortal and indestructible. Only powerful beings in the supernatural world could go toe to toe with it so they split it into four, with each body possessing a portion of its full power and if a body is killed, the power moves to the closest body making that body much stronger. An unwritten rule was made not to kill it so the best action against it was to either capture it or seal it. Now, that demon is after your sister and he now possesses half of his power in a single body all thanks to him." She pointed a finger at Naruto.
"I didn't know something like that would happen."
"You're not at fault here, you just did what anyone in your shoes would do without prior knowledge on the demon."
"So what you're saying is that an ancient demon is after me and my sister… Why?" John inquired.
"The Hunter clan was the only clan that were well versed in fighting the demon and is said to possess the weapon that was used to split it into four different bodies. Ashirok swore vengeance on your clan before he was sealed. A prophecy concerning this was popular in the old day but is now lost to legend. "In the distant future, the bane of the Hunter shall rise again. 'The Bane will take a bride of the Hunter. The Hunter shall become the Hunted' I still remember it like yesterday." Gaia recited the prophecy.
"So in a nutshell, this thing is going to marry Martha?" Naruto said, earning a glare from John and a punch from Gaia.
"And then you came along, a human that can drag Ashirok out of its victim. I think fate brought you here for a purpose."
"Pfft, fate… That bitch just can't get over me." Naruto jumped up from the bed.
"How can I protect my sister Gaia-san? I'll do anything. I'll lay down my life to keep her safe. I'll be your slave forever-"
"No problem then. I can't guarantee I'll keep you safe but I'll try. After all, I can only protect what's right in front of me."
"Alright, Naruto. You're not doing this alone."
"If there's any way I can help-"
"The sword used to divide Ashirok will be of great aid in our possession."
"Unfortunately, I don't know where it is but I've seen it once when I was a kid."
"OK. For now, your mission is to find that sword, John."
"What about me?"
"You'll be our knight."
"A knight… I like it."
John looked between Naruto and Gaia and couldn't help but thank them from the bottom of his heart. "Thank you both. If we survive this, I'll owe you a debt of a lifetime."
"Yeah, you do, John."
"Naruto!"
(Flashback end)
"Gaia-san, it's all done," Martha beamed
"Oh, that was fast."
"It was ready minutes ago. You seemed deep in thought and I didn't want to disturb you."
Gaia chuckled before she pushed Martha down on a chair and sat on the other one across the table. She smiled at her and dug in, commenting on her cooking skills.
"What about them?" Martha asked, pointing her chopsticks at Naruto and John who were having the battle of their life.
"Finally! A worthy opponent."
"I will not be defeated on my day off!"
Gaia watched both boys push each other around, hitting their respective controllers rapidly. Both men, when serious, are a sight to behold but when a controller is in their hands… they are back to being teenagers. "Nah, I don't think food is important to them right now."
(Scene Change: Somewhere in Europe.)
"This is depressing."
Two green orbs blinked as fair fingers hit the power button, putting his phone to sleep mode. The increase in crime rate was alarming and a few kids at the church were affected too and that was a big no-no for him. Nobody messes with the kids in the church. He dipped his hands into his pocket and pulled out a… Muffin of all things before he entered the rundown building.
The man scratched his blonde hair as he walked into the building munching on the muffin with a satisfied look on his face, ignoring the bloodstains and disembodied parts on the floor. He walked into the dark rundown building filled with the stench of evil without a worry.
The blonde-haired man opened his palms and light energy sizzled into life on his hands, illuminating the room. He whistled looking around seeing the stairs beside the wall and followed the path the stairs led to. An old ringtone garnered his attention as he dug his hand into his pocket and fished out his phone.
"mn-Fhellow-mn," He said while munching on a good chunk of the muffin in his hand.
"Dulio! I thought I told you this was a co-op.?!" A voice from the other end of the phone yelled.
"I know but it'll take a while for me to get used to working with her…" He replied and took another bite from the snack.
"I swear I'm going to ban muffins one-"
The blonde-haired man now named Dulio, cut the lady off and switched off his phone. Nobody, and he meant NOBODY, threatens muffins in his presence.
The logical side of him told him to wait for reinforcement but the wild side told him to go see how powerful the so-called SS-rank demon was.
With his mind made up, he took a deep breath and yelled, "Hello! Mr. Evil? Where are you?"
The man literally stumbled in the dark while searching for the so-called Mr. Evil.
He sighed before he created a circle with his hands and blew air into it, creating a huge bubble that burst into tiny bubbles as they flew around the coliseum lighting it up.
The bubbles gathered around a feminine figure in the distance and his eyes widened to epic proportions when he saw who it was… His mother.
"Hello, son," She replied.
"M-mother? Is T-That you? H-how is this p-po-possible?" Dulio stuttered, his lips quivered as he drew closer to her.
Tears threatened to fall off his face. His mother had her hands wide open with the warmest smile on her face. Dulio stood there, his muscles paralysed and his mother walked up to him within his personal space. She held him in a tight embrace before she coughed up blood and looked below.
Dulio's hands went through her heart and out.
"Cut the illusion crap and come out and face me like a real man- err, demon," He said, fishing out another muffin as the entire coliseum shook lightly and disintegrated into dust.
"You've been a bad demon but messing with the kids in the church was your biggest mistake." He said before he clapped his hands and sent out an all-direction wave of light energy.
A purple mist-like demon screeched as it shielded itself with its hands.
"Sacred Gear Bearer!" It hissed. "How is this possible?" It asked.
"What?"
"You are one of the winged soldiers of heaven, yet you have a sacred gear," It said, as it sized up the reincarnated angel. "Who are you?"
"Oh! Tis I, a reincarnated angel, the knight of righteousness, a soldier of heaven, the church's strongest exorcist, your exorcist, your doom, your end. I am here to exorcise you, demon fiend. Damn, that sounds corny," He whispered the last part to himself.
"Well then, reincarnated angel, the knight of righteousness, a soldier for heaven, the church's strongest exorcist, we will take your body till we have the perfect host in our hands."
Dulio actually clapped, beaming before he replied with an upbeat attitude, "Impressive, you managed to get all my titles at first try; as a way to show my gratitude, I'll make this quick and painless."
As the demon made haste to grab Dulio, a building-sized hurricane materialized instantly, shielding its user before a wave of dark energy tore through it, and as soon as it neared Dulio, it froze. It was literally frozen, it was iced. Dulio punched the now frozen dark stream making it shatter in an instant sending pieces of ice shards around.
"Impressive, I thought you would have been an ice statue by now," Dulio commented before the demon launched itself while screeching at him.
A brief bout of close range combat occurred between man and demon which tore half of the building before the demon scored a punch in. It socked Dulio right in the face and as he was launched into the air, four purple tendril-like arms busted through the ground trying to squash him. He dodged them all with an amazing display of skills but coughed up blood as soon as he touched the ground. The demon smirked before it launched one of its arms, extending it to great length.
Dulio sighed before he wiped off the blood on his face, totally ignoring the incoming huge hand which had a magic circle with a huge build-up of magic power in its palm. "I wish I had an illusion base ability like that guy in the hero faction."
Dulio disappeared and a moment later, he was right in front of the demon, ten white wings spread out, a huge ass light spear in his hand before he threw it at point-blank range, piercing through the demon's body. It coughed up purple blood staring at its limp limb behind Dulio before It turned to dust.
"Sacred Gear bearer, you think you might have won but this is just the beginning," It said before it exploded in flames.
Dulio stood in the air, wings spread out staring at the demon as it went through a metamorphosis of sorts, it now had a humanoid form with two purple horns on its head. The strongest exorcist narrowed his eyes at it, seeing a huge amount of condensed magic gathering between its horns.
"Absolute Eraser." It intoned before it fired the ball at high speeds.
Dulio knew instantly that the little ball spelled danger so he grew twelve golden wings and had four halo on his head, he stretched his hand forward and created a massive light spear and a humongous bubble before the entire building went white.
Boom
A huge black mushroom cloud could be seen In the distance.
Dulio stood there, feeling a bit winded due to all the destruction they both caused. "Now I call foul! Having four of those thrown around might be dangerous," He said, losing all the cheer in his voice before all hell cut loose. "Now, it's payback time."
All basic five elements clashed around, gathering together in front of his hands taking the form of a drill. He created a massive amount of light energy and stabbed it into the chaos of elements.
"I call this the 'super-duper certified spear of doom'. Corny isn't it?" He remarked before he reared his hands back and thrust it forward. The demon countered with another absolute eraser and both techniques fought for dominance but the light spear proved superior. An explosion later and half of the purple flaming demon was all that was left and it was regenerating its lost body parts instantly.
Light bubbles appeared around it before they covered together, trapping it in a huge bubble where it was subjected to mini natural disaster after disaster. A perfectly placed light spear to the chest had the demon hanging in the air and an unamused Dulio staring at it.
"It's true, you are one tough " Dulio said, before he performed his killer move. Placing a hand on the demon's heart, his sacred gear went into overdrive and bent the climate to his will, super freezing everything near his vicinity before he summoned a light spear filled with so much holy energy, it was shining.
The creepy thing was that the demon, who just showed power equal to an Ultimate-class, devil, was smirking at him. Dulio knew the fight was too easy but went on with his plan anyways. The sooner the better.
As soon as the light spear was complete, the demon was already frozen in and out. He drew the spear back, holding it at its centre, before he released some fast powerful jabs at the demon and leapt into the air before he thrusted with all his might and ran his spear through the frozen statue, breaking it instantly.
He released a sigh after his handiwork and dusted his hands. "No more demon problem." He smiled before he powered down to his human form and brought out a muffin. A phone call interrupted him before he could eat the muffin.
"Gabriella-"
"Dulio! What the hell happened, I could feel your energy all the way from here!"
"Listen, Gabriella-"
"It's Gabriel!"
"Same thing. You can sleep, assured that the demon is no more!" He said with a smug smirk on his face.
"... What?"
"The demon, causing the kids at the church's orphanage to misbehave, I killed it!" He chuckled.
"What the fuc-" Gabriel calmed her nerves as best as she could. Angels don't curse, she repeated like a mantra.
His expression slowly turned from a smile to a horror-stricken one. Gabriel almost cursed and that was a sign tantamount to Armageddon for him.
"Dulio… Do you know what you just did?"
"..."
"You're going to Japan. You just created a huge mess and now you have to clean it with a group of devils and a human living in Kuoh and you're taking her with you."
"What! I'm not used to working with her and did you just say a human? Is he a Longinus welder? Do I have to do this?"
"You leave for Japan tomorrow morning. You will work with Lucifer's peerage to help capture the SS- rank demon, Ashirok. The same demon you just killed."
"Yes ma'am," He said like a defeated son.
"Ugh! I just can't believe you sometimes!" Gabriel groaned.
Dulio cut the phone call. "Now I have to leave my cute kids behind," He lamented before he left the area.
Swish
A white-haired angel landed beside Dulio. "I thought you said you were going to wait for me?" She pouted and tried to punch Dulio.
"Saddle up, Agatha, we are going to Japan!"
"Yes sir!" Agatha yelled before she tripped and fell.
(Scene change: The next day, In a coffee shop)
"Why am I even here in the first place?" Naruto asked himself, staring at his reflection in the glass wall with narrowed eyes.
"Come on Naruto, don't be like this… You have to help me!"
He glared at John's reflection. "Why should I help you?"
John sighed laying his head on the table. "I'll treat you to ramen…?"
Naruto went silent before he assumed a thoughtful expression. "Hmm… Very tempting-"
Naruto was distracted when a commotion occurred in the coffee shop. A man in his late twenties was being slapped in the face repeatedly by a green-haired woman who then grabbed his shirt. The humans in the shop tried to diffuse the situation but the woman was having none of that and kept on accusing the man of sexual harassment.
The police officer in John springs into action and he makes his way through the crowd, flashing his super power at anyone who is preventing him from making his way to the issue. He made it to the centre of the commotion and separated the two before he flashed his badge at the lady.
The lady was delighted to see John and demanded the man be brought to justice. At that moment, Naruto thought it appropriate to intervene. He appeared behind the woman all of a sudden and started asking questions. "So, lemme get this straight. This man grabbed you inappropriately right?"
"I swear I didn't."
"Yes, you did. He's been stalking me for the entire week."
"That was because I wanted to ask you out." This was said in a voice below a whisper but Naruto heard anyway.
"Well, you are not wrong but did he really grab your ass?" Naruto asks the green- haired woman.
"Are you calling me a liar?"
"Yes."
"Look here, tall handsome man-"
"John, he's innocent."
"How did you know?" John questioned before the owner of the store came in with evidence to prove the man was innocent. The security camera showed it all. Everyone gave the green-haired woman stares while some even moved to comfort the man and a woman outright told him she would date him.
"I'm outta here John. I have to go visit the park." Naruto said and made his way out.
John stared awed thinking about Naruto's special abilities. "Wait up, Naruto!" He yelled, chasing after the blonde. His gift would prove very useful for future investigations.
(Scene change: The underworld.)
"To defeat Loki, Odin will return north to retrieve Mjolnir but Ajuka says he can only keep Loki at bay for a day. If Loki recovers and comes back, we will have to fight him head-on." Azazel explained to Rias, Sona, and their respective peerages.
"Just a day?" Rias exclaimed.
"He's a god after all," Sona said.
"If the devil king class member of each side moves to fight, another war might break out."
"Yes, and that will trigger the beginning of the end."
It's going to take some time before Odin can send Mjolnir and the seal keeping Loki at bay would have been long broken by then. The young devils had an idea and it was a pretty risky one.
"Please, let me see the Lucifer," She requested.
.
.
.
"So you intend to slow him down?" Sirzechs asked his little sister
"I can only send ten people to fight Loki at one time, and even with rest, I will only be able to send one more person afterwards. It will be a difficult mission."
"I understand the danger."
"Seems like others also want to volunteer," Serafall, who came back after she heard the news of Loki, said.
Sona and her peerage—which currently consisted of one bishop and one pawn—entered the room.
"Two people have already been chosen from the angel faction and the norse faction. We don't have time to waste on choosing."
"From our side-" Michael said and on cue, Irina appeared behind the strongest archangel.
"The Norse faction has already chosen someone to accompany you lot," Azazel replied.
.
.
.
"Look, Hyoudou!" Saji yelled, calling Issei's attention as they both leered at Rossweisse in her Valkyrie armour. Both pawns were reprimanded by their respective kings.
Issei, Kiba, Rias, Koneko, Sona, Saji, Tsubaki, Rossweisse, Akeno, Irina, and Xenovia all stood on a teleportation circle in front of their respective leaders and after a vote of confidence, Ajuka Beelzebub teleported them to where he sent Loki.
.
.
.
And now, the bunch of kids were staring at what was potentially their death, held down by a triangular seal and the seal itself couldn't hold Loki for long and before they knew it, a crack appeared on it.
"He's coming," Sona warned.
The seal shook as it levitated in the air and the seal thought to be triangular was actually diamond-shaped. With a flex of his godly power, the seal was shattered to bits and Loki stood in the air, in all his godly glory, staring at the angel, valkyrie and devils below with disdain.
"Beelzebub, playing such dirty tricks…"
.
.
.
In an alternate universe, a green-haired baby in a wrestle with a beetle, the size of a pinky, sneezed violently when he tried to get his brown-haired father to use the zebel spell on his behalf.
.
.
.
"Lord Loki, baring your fangs at our great father is unforgivable. You should voice your opinion through the proper channels!" Rossweisse yelled trying to reason with the god of mischief but the big bad wolf was having none of that.
"I heard you have talent child but your power is far from a god's. You all are too weak for the opening act of Ragnarok."
Three beams of light struck the ground below and out came Fenrir and Its Children. Hati and Sköll.
Loki scoffed with a smirk on his face as he raised his hand and a huge beam hit the ground again and out came Midgardsormr, one of the great five dragon kings, the largest dragon in existence, the serpent of Midgard. It had a scar running from under its left eye through the eyelids before it stopped at the tip of its left ear. .
"Though it's an imitation using a dragon king as a base, it's still very powerful so approach with caution,." Rossweisse warned.
The devils knew they were no match for Loki and sought to buy time till Odin sent Mjolnir their way.
"You will regret fighting a god!" Loki elled before he sent his creations at the devil group and stayed behind watching the fray like the big boss he was.
"Buchou/Kaichou!" Issei and Saji asked for permission, earning a nod from their Kings. "Promotion! Queen." They both yelled and the effect was instantaneous. Their magic reserves increased along with their durability and speed.
Issei activated his balance breaker, Scale Mail and Saji activated his sacred gear and both devils ran off to face the enemies.
.
.
.
Issei appeared in front of Loki in the air and the god was amused to see the current generation's red dragon emperor. He snapped his finger creating a magic circle that shot off beams of light. Issei easily swats the incoming projectile with ease.
"This is nothing compared to a fire breathing dragon!" He yelled and charged at Loki.
Loki smirked and snapped his finger. Fenrir jumped from behind him and tackled Issei to the ground but luckily, Kiba and Xenovia chased it away before it could sink its fangs into Issei.
"Swordo barsu!" Kiba yelled, stabbing his sword to the ground creating a continuous stream of different swords rising from the ground. Xenovia followed up by swinging Durandal, releasing a crescent-shaped light energy at Fenrir. Both attacks immobilized it and Issei upped the oomph with a dragon shot and Koneko finished things up by using the power granted to her by her evil piece, the super-strength of a rook, and axe kicked the god-killing wolf on the head.
"Thanks Kiba, Xenovia and Koneko."
.
.
.
"So, this must be our opponent."
Rias, Sona, Akeno, and Tsubaki all stood a distance away from the great serpent.
Akeno started things off by shooting a yellow lightning bolt at the dragon king which did literally nothing to it. It's tough scales absorbed it all. The imitation stretched its mouth wide open and spewed out flames and the devils retreated. Though one devil stood her ground, braving the intense flames.
"Let's send those flames back, shall we?" She replied before conjuring a mirror which absorbed all the flames and returned it back to the dragon king scoring a point.
Tsubaki's Sacred gear, Mirror Alice, has the ability to absorb any attack. After absorbing the attack, it shattered and returned it back at twice it's original power.
"It's time for me to show you the results of my training." Said Rias before she conjured a magic circle which then shot off a huge stream of the power of destruction.
"I, as well,'' Sona said before creating an ice dragon, the size of the dragon king's imitation. The dragon bit down on the dragon king and this only riled it up further as it struggled to break free. It raised its body temperature, effectively killing the ice dragon.
.
.
.
Irina and Rossweisse fought off Hati and Sköll, while Issei, Kiba, Xenovia and Koneko fought Fenrir.
Loki watched them fighting his creations and was impressed that they held out so far. He saw a blue rope in his peripheral vision and moved to avoid it.
"Carelessness is the greatest enemy, Norse god!" Saji yelled, retracting his rope-like sacred gear.
"My opponent is a weakling among weaklings?" Loki mocked.
"You'll get burned if you underestimate a weakling," Saji quipped.
"Don't make me laugh," Loki replied.
The norse god rained a hail of light beans, almost like a machine gun from a magic circle on Saji.
"Saji!" Issei yelled, getting distracted as Fenrir moved In for the kill.
"Issei-senpai!" Koneko yelled and if she was a second late, Fenrir would have sunken its fangs into Issei.
Looks like the wolf wants to eat Issei badly. Koneko punched it away in time though.
.
.
.
Rossweisse created a magic circle which took most of the brunt of Loki's attack protecting Saji in the process. He sighed in relief seeing Rossweisse.
Akeno and Tsubaki took down Midgardsormr with a combo attack and the rest of Loki's creations were out for the count.
He levitated in the air without a worry and even handed out compliments to them in a degrading manner as always.
"Lord Loki! Think this over. I'm sure the all-father would still forgive you."
"Forgive me? Get real Valkyrie. I'm the one trying to fix his mistakes." Loki replied before he thought something up with a smirk. "If you defeat me here and- no, IF you put a scratch on me, I will tell you what happened on that day."
Rossweisse gritted her teeth, trying to remain rational.
"What's wrong? Are you not confident of your abilities or have you taken everything at face value.. Dear child?" Loki taunted with a smirk and it worked as Rossweisse charged at him.
They both engaged in a brief bout of taijutsu but Loki just danced around her attacks before he grew bored and kicked her away with great force.
The god of mischief snapped his fingers and a huge beam of light from above struck Rossweisse. He smirked before his danger senses went blaring when he saw numerous magic circles in the air and a teleportation circle at the center of it all behind him. Rossweisse came out of the teleportation circle and all fired all the magic circles fired off at the same time.
"Impressive," Loki said as he snapped his fingers, creating the same amount of magic circles, and fired off his own attack. Loki's barrage proved superior and he had to create another magic circle by raising his palms towards the incoming wave of light magic and light spear. He raised his head up and the power of destruction was already a millisecond away from him. He replied with another magic circle again.
"Controlling three magic circlescircle at the same time,." AkenoA keno said, awed by the power of the god of mischief.
Loki stood in the air with a smug smirk still present on his face before he actually gave Rossweisse his full attention, seeing a huge magic circle below the ground she stood on.
"That technique. Do you think you can pull it off? You will only disgrace her even further if you fail." He said staring at her. Loki knew the technique all too well and has been on the receiving end of it once and it brought back memories… Bad memories. The technique required time to charge up.
Loki braced himself when Rossweisse crossed her fingersfinger and conjured a lot of magic circles, all of which then shot beams of light and shot off white beamsbeans from it.
"You refuse to use your ace yet or is it taking longer than expected?" Loki replied as he cut through the light beams with his fingers. He noticed a blue rope wrapped around his hand and traced it back to Saji. He scoffed and tried to free his hand fromof the rope but found out he couldn't.
"Sensei, Whatever you're doing? It requires time right? I'll hold him down for you," Saji said.
'Alright, Saji!" Issei yelled.
"Impossible, I can'tcan tear it off!" Loki exclaimed, quite surprised.
"Azazel-sensei tweaked it up for me and implanted all the vitra-type sacred gear in me!" Saji's sacredscared gear underwent a transformation and he now had shin and elbow guard on while the ropes caught flames.
"The flames of the dragon king Vitra, " Loki noted before he gasped when Rossweisse's magic circle emanated a bright light. He knew what was coming and formed a huge defensive shield.
"I won't let you!" Issei yelled, bulldozing his way through Loki's defense with a fully powered dragon shot. Loki's shield was entirely wiped out of existenceoff and he glared at Issei and Rossweisse. A huge beam of light magic shot up from where Rossweisse was, threatening to swallow Loki whole. The god took the full brunt of the attack and whitewhile filled his vision.
Loki smiled, a small smile that projected his bloodlust. "You piecespiece of trash." He wouldn'twould admit it but these weaklings forced him to use his godly powers.
Saji's sacred gear was snuffed out instantly and LokiLooking stood in the light beam unfazed, protected by his godly auraa covering of his powers and then it happened. Lightning flashed around and a strong gravitational pullgalaxy uprooted the earth.
"Lord Loki, you can't! If you do that, not only the underworld but the supernatural world would be affected!" The valkyrie yelled.
"It will only speed the coming of Ragnarok!" The Ragnarok obsessed god yelled, stretching his hands at the devils below and unleashed huge ice shards on them.
"That was my plan from the start!" Loki told the devils.
Everyone took cover from the harsh weather.
"What's he planning to do?" Rias asked.
"He plans to release his godly powers and destroy this space."
"What the!"
The harsh weather halted all of a sudden. "It stopped?"
Loki got serious and conjured three magic circles, one above the other, and generated light magic through it;,he took aim at the sky and shot it. He rained light beam after light beam on the devils. A wide range skill that destroyed the entire topography of the space they were in.
Saji and Kiba were the only ones seriously injured while some of them had a defensive counter but taking another attack like that would surely take them downdo them in.
They healed their comrades with the Phenexpheonix tears and regrouped for one last assault before Rossweisserossweisse shared the good news.
"We've made it on time."
"What is that?" Issei asked.
A magic circle appeared in the sky and out came the mighty hammer, MjolnirMjlonir.
"A Message from Lord Odin, "If the Red Dragon Emperorred dragon emperor is there, then leave it to him." She relayed Odin's orders to the group.
"Mjolnir?"Loki thought upon seeingupon, seeing the mighty hammer once again. "Damn you, Odin!" He yelled infuriated and made a mad dash towards Mjolnir but was pulled down by Saji.
Issei flew towards Mjolnir with hope, now that their victory was assured but felt pain coursing through his body. Fenrir had finally snuck itsit's fangs into the treat it had its eyes on.
The look on their facesface transformed from hope to horror as Fenrir landed on the ground and dragged Issei's body on the earth before he threw him away like a rag doll.
"Issei!" They all moved to intercept Fenrir while Rias rushed to his side.
"B-buchou."
"Don't speak." Rias placed his head on her lap and placed a hand on his wound trying to stop the bleeding in vain.
"I'm sorry, I messed up again at the most important time." He managed to wheeze out.
"Don't die on me, Issei." The ruin princess was openly crying like a baby, begging Issei not to leave her.
The hammer Mjolnirerect was on the ground, a few feet away from him, and Issei made a grabbing motion for the last time before his hands went limp and he seemingly died.
"Hyoudou, no way,." Saji whispered, falling onto his knees in despairgoing down on his feet. The shock was too much for him. His friend, his rival was dead.
His peerage members had tears in their eyes and their thirst for vengeance fueled them as they attacked with such ferocity, Fenrir stood no chance.
"The Red Dragon Emperorred dragon emperor was the only one strong enough to wield Mjolnir. What do we do now?" Rossweisse lamented.
Loki slapped Saji away with a magic circle and sighed with content. "Ragnarok will begin soon. Perish with the twilight of the end." He said and glowed anand eerie white before the space they were in distorted. He stopped when a red aura covered Rias.
"Evil god Loki. How dare you. My Issei is dead because of you!" The power of destruction burst forth from her body.
Loki tilted his head and frowned at Rias."Such strong and passionate thoughts. So this is the little sister of Lucifer."He thought before his gaze shifted to Mjolnir. "Fenrir, destroy that despicable hammer with your fangs!" He ordered only to see Fenrir had been immobilized by white chains from athe magic circle underneath it.
"What's the meaning of this?" Loki asked no one in particular.
"The magic chainschain of Gleipnirgleipnir, why is it here?" Rossweisse wondered out loud.
"Because weWe prepared them, nya." Kuroka appeared via a magic circle, sitting on a cliff.
(Scene Change: Earth)
"Why do I get the feeling Kuroka is busy playing the villain?" Naruto wondered while tutoring MarthaMarhta. The girl was pretty good.
"What?"
Naruto sucked in oxygen. "Don't worry about it, Martha."
(Back in the underworld)
"How dare a devildemon from the far west stop me!?" Loki yelled and fired off light beams at Kuroka which werewas swatted away by Arthur.
"Lord Loki, we will be taking Fenrir with us,." Arthur said as Fenrir appeared behind them. He stabbed his holy swordword into Fenrir's head and gained control over it.
"Shirone, that form, looks like you have finally accepted your powers."
"I'll never be like you nee-san."
"There's so much I want to tell you but the timing is always wrong."
Koneko narrowed her eyes at her older sister.
"Just know that everything I did, it was to keep you safe." She said.
"Damn you, White Dragon Emperorwhite dragon emperor. So you were after Fenrir's fangs all along." Loki cut the family melodrama short.
"It's your fault for being fooled." Kuroka gave one last reply before they disappeared.
"Boost!"
Loki turned his gaze and met a fully healed Issei holding Mjolnir. "You! How?"
"Go Issei!"
"Damn, this hammer is so heavy!The hammer is heavy Butbut I can do this!"
Loki tried to run away from Issei but the devils didn't let him and SajiSaid held him down again, this time with two ropes.
"Let's go, Hammer!" Issei yelled and reared the hammer back.
"Boost! Transfer!" The hammer grew humongous and Issei swung it at Loki.
"Damn you Red Dragon Emperorred dragon emperor! Damn you, Odin!" Loki raged.
The hammer made contact with Loki and the sealing process began. As the seal was almost complete, Loki put up onea last act and cursed Issei and Rias. They both felt a chill but disregarded it in favour of celebrating their victory. Though Issei was unable to as he fainted after the whole ordeal of the day. After all, he almost died.
(Scene Change: The next day)
Naruto and Martha were coming back from a date. Yes, a date. A date Naruto proposed to cheer her up. After the skirmish with Ashirok, Martha rarely went out and if she did, Naruto always had a clone talking to her and even then, she didn't venture out far or for long. So he decided to take her out just to so she could havecatch some fun.
What and what Martha found weird was that Naruto had an Orange fur coat on with sunglasses.
.
.
.
At the same time, Issei and Akeno were on a date, running away from a group of stalkers.
As they made a left, they stopped to take a breather.
"I think we've lost them,." Issei said.
"Now I have you all to myself." AkenoA keno entered his personal space and started to strokestroking his chin.
.
.
.
Rias, Koneko, Asia, Xenovia, and Gasper chasedchaed after Issei and Akeno when the duo ran off all of a sudden which meant one thing, they have been made.
"I think they took a right!" Rias yelled and increased her speed, going ahead until she hit a solid wall of flesh and bone and rebounded off it. Her generous butt hit the floor and she had to rub it to ease the pain.
"I'm sorry I didn't see you coming," Rias apologized before she raised her head to see the man she currently hated the most, oneOne Naruto Uzumaki.
"Bat,." Naruto said, his words dripping with disdain and contempt. He moved past her and held Martha's hand in his.
"Naruto-nii, that was one of the two great onee-samas!" Martha shrilled.
"What? That looks like a bad influence to me. Just ignore them."
Rias gritted her teeth. Naruto wasn't whispering. Her peerage held their breath, filled with worry because an encounter between thewith both female devil and human doesn't end well.
"Hey! Naruto Uzumaki!" Rias yelled.
Naruto completely ignored her and placed Martha's hand into his fur coat's pocket.
"If you bumpbumped into someone the least you can say is sorry! It's common courtesy, Naruto!"
Naruto scoffed. "What do you know about manners, Batbat? And that is Naruto-sensei to you." He said, still walking away.
If there was one thing about Naruto that Rias hated the most, it was his cocky attitude. He acted like he owned the place, like he could do whatever he wanted and no one would challenge him but she was going to prove him wrong.
Issei and Akeno arrived on the scene, hearing Rias yell Naruto's name was a bad sign and if the blonde was close then, a disaster was already brewing. They arrived hearing Rias'sRias' words.
"I challenge you to a rating game, Uzumaki Naruto."
Everyone present gawked. Even Martha. Though she had no idea what it meant, but the word challenge gave her a vague understanding.
Naruto stopped inon his tracks and chuckled. It started with a snort before it turned into a full-blownfull blown chuckle. "Ho? The bat finally grows a spine to challenge the fox. Too bad though, Ii don't fight weaklings."
Still riding from the high of defeating a norse god, Rias gave a witty reply. "I think it's the other way around."
"Ah, Buchou, what are you saying?" Issei questioned with a strained smile as he held Rias back.
"HyoudouHyodou, you have to put a nozzle on her, or else, she's going to die with that kind of cocky attitude one day."
"What?!" Rias yelled.
"It's a fact." Naruto quipped.
Rias gnashedganshed her teeth with pure fury. The blonde was going to get it today. A magic circle slowly formed in front of her.
"Red Dragon EmperorRed dragon emperor, fancy meeting you here!" Odin yelled. "What's up with the hostile air around you brats?" He asked walking towards them with BaraqielBarachiel in tow. He noticed a spike in Rias'sRias magic level and sensed a shift in the air but ignored it thinking itI was his old age playing tricks with him.
"He-" Rias shifted her gaze back to where Naruto was only to meet thin air. "Huh? I could have swornswear he was here right now."
"Who?"
"Never mind," Rias replied before she stomped all the way back home.

John jumped when Naruto and his little sister appeared in a flash. Martha stood in the living room in a trance-like state before Naruto snapped her out of itI by snapping his fingers near her earsher fingers.
"Huh, what happened? Where's Rias? I wanted to say hi to Issei when everything blurred all of a sudden." Martha looked around the unfamiliar space before she recognized it was Naruto's living room. "When did we get here?" She asked with great confusion.
"You just experienced space/time Jutsu or in other words, instant teleportation." Naruto chuckled before he activated the security seals in the house.
(Scene Change: Night, Hyoudou'sHyodou's house)
"Wow, Rossweisse-san, you're good." Asia complimented the Valkyrie who was teaching them how to solve their homework.
The whole gang was present on the second floor and Rias was in a corner sulking.
"What's wrong with Buchou?" Gasper questioned Issei.
"She and Naruto-sensei don't exactly see eye to eye," Issei chuckled.
"Why? Is Naruto-sensei a bad guy?"
"Nope, not at all. He helped us defeat Kokabiel, remember."
"I see."
Rossweisse joined in on the conversation going on between IsseiIssues and Gasper wanting to know more about Naruto.
"What is he? I couldn't sense anything from him and he's a hundred percent human, right?."
"What is Naruto Uzumaki…." Issei stopped for a moment to ponder on how to answer the Valkyrie.
"Well, let's just say, he's an Enigma."
"An Enigma?"
"He's someone with a wide range of special abilities with no Sacred Gear, noNo magic talent or whatsoever and for some reason, we can't enter his house unless he's at home." Akeno, besidebesides Issei, told Rossweisse.
The devil group once tried to infiltrate his house when he wasn't in to gain information about himit but that didn't end well. The blonde's house was protected by a force field of sorts
"It's like there's a barrier stopping us from entering,." Rias said, gritting her teeth. "Teleportation circle doesn't work, if you were wondering," She added. When they tried entering with teleportation circles, they were pushed away violently.
"So his house is tightly secured,." Rossweisse concluded.
Azazel walked into the living room with a frown on his face. "Why did you challenge him to a rating game? I thought I told you not to provocate him in any circumstances."
"Azazel, this is my territory and two dragons can't fly in the same sky."
Clearly, this girl hasn't heard of Great Red and Ophis, or Ddraig and Albion, or Son Goku and Vegeta.
"He's not someone you can touch, Stay away from him, Rias. If you have a problem with him, report it to me."
Naruto was currently a… Posse of sorts to the devils in the mission to bring Ashirok back to prison. This of course is with an ulterior motive;, to know the blonde's abilities and to try to extend a hand of friendship or partnership to the strange blonde. Also, the fact that he can drag Ashirok out of a human host and 'Kill' the demon made him a key person in the capture of Ashirok.
"You steer clear of him. That's an order."
Rias bit her lips reluctant to follow orders but cavedcave in under Azazel's glare. Rias's peerage watched as Azazel stared their King down.
"Whoa, is he that dangerous?" Gasper asked.
"He once beat me near death just to forcefully activate my balance breaker," Issei told them, recalling the one-weekone week training he had and how he came close to death several times.
"Really?" Rossweisse asked, disbelief all over her face.
"There was one time he burst into a training ground I was in and his presence was suffocating. It was as if death pricked my neck with itsit's sharp claws." Kiba described his experience with the blonde. Koneko nodded because she was the first to experience Naruto's KI.
Goosebumps appeared all over Rias remembering the hallucination Naruto put her under. Maybe she was too rash challenging him to a rating game.
"And he's quirky but don't worry, You'll get used to it,." Issei said.
"I see…" All Rossweisse could gather was that he was dangerous and powerful.
(Uzumaki Mansion)
"Achooo!" Naruto sneezed violently.
"Dinner's ready!" Martha yelled.
Naruto joined the two humansyumans and thea goddess on the table, his seat as the head of the family and second youngest was empty as always. He sat in it and grabbed a spoon.
"Itadakimasu!" They all chorusedchroused as they dug in.
They almost looked like a family that day and Naruto was happy he decided to let the Hunters stay with him but as always, he couldn'tcould shake off the nagging feeling that things were going to go south sooner or later but for now, he was going to enjoy life and deal with the demon when it comes for Martha.
The end.
Two of the four 'clones' of Ashirok are dead so that means it's gained half of it's full power. Will the blonde shinobi trump against their current adversary or will he fail to protect once again?
A/N: I just wanted to use this to explain everything about Ashirok.
First off, Ashirok's power level. Once complete, it's power level is a tad below a super devil but once in it's perfect host, it's as powerful as a god. Originally, it was worshipped by the hunter family but the priestess that was supposed to be it's perfect host rebelled because it wanted to wage war against the big three faction and wanted all humans under its rule. Ashirok can grant it's followers special abilities to the point where it can evolve a sacred gear and so it was able to rally a lot of evil power hungry people. In the end, the three factions fought against it but it was pretty hard to kill. Then it possessed the perfect host, Annie Hunter, gaining god-level abilities. The three factions took it seriously and an all out battle broke out. The son of Annie Hunter, with the sword forged out of the purple demons power, killed his possessed mother putting an end to Ashirok's godlike powers and in the process, the demon cursed the only weapon that could separate it from it's host potentially kill it with the rage of it's first and only user, the son of Annie. Whoever tries to wield it are consumed with rage until they kill the very thing they loved. Ashirok was very hard to kill and only the god-level beings could kill it but the gods back then deemed Ashirok not worth their attention and sent their armies to combat the demon. With the help of the sword, they were able to divide it into four 'being' and sealed it off in Hel, never to see the light of the day again and the legend of Ashirok and the Hunter family disappeared into legend.
I hope that clears everything about the purple demon.
Have a nice y'all.
Goodbye for now.
