Here's the next chapter! Enjoy!

Eye Catch #10: Asher is sitting on the checkered floor with the yellow-green background again, but he's got one of his knees up to his face, resting his cheek against it and hugging it with his arms. The other knee is angled up to his chest, showing his bulge. He's wearing a pair of tighty-whities and nothing more, showing his hip. He's blushing and looks happy.

Episode 5: I'm Gonna Defeat My Ex-Boyfriend!-Part 2

Without a second thought, Issei dropped her weapons and grabbed the light spears to yank them out of her sides. Her hands were burning and hurt like hell, but she didn't care. She just wanted those damn things out of her.

"Stupid bitch, light is a deadly poison to devils!" Raynark shouted to her with a sadistic and evil face. "Just coming to direct contact with it burns them!" He paused to land on the aisle, keeping a distance from her. "It gives devils like you low-class idiots sharp, excruciating pain!"

"So...what?!" the brown-haired devil shouted as she succeeded in pulling the spear out of her sides. "Compared to Asher's suffering, this is..." Her sides gushed out a lot of blood. She tried to ignore the pain shooting through her entire body and picked up her bow and arrow. "Nothing! Absolutely nothing!" She then pointed the arrow at him, her gauntlet shouting, "Boost!" once again. She was sweating and panting shakily.

"Impressive," the dark-haired man commented. "You did well for a low-class devil. I applaud you." More blood gushed from her sides, making her fall on her stomach and flinch.

"M-my power..." she muttered out.

"But that's your limit." He crossed his arms once again and smirked. "A typical low-class devil like you would've died a long time ago. You're pretty tough for a weak, emotional girl."

The female pervert then muttered, "God...I guess that didn't work..." She looked up at Raynark. "Since I'm a devil...it'd have to be the Demon Lord...there has to be one." Raynark looked confused as she looked up at the ceiling, a few tears escaping her eyes. "I'm a devil...so can't you grant me a favor?"

"What the hell are you babbling about?" Raynark asked. "Aren't you insane about the pain you're feeling?"

Issei ignored him and slowly stood up, supporting herself with her knees. "Please...I don't need anything else." Her sides gushed out blood once again. The male fallen angel looked shocked at her standing up with bleeding sides.

"What the fuck?!" he shouted. "You've got to be fucking kidding me!"

"Give me the power..." she muttered as her wings appeared from her back and she finally stood up. "To shoot this asshole!" She looked up at him with a furious look.

"How the fuck can you stand?!" the fallen angel questioned in horror as he stepped back a little. "The light has to be burning you from the inside out!" His pupils shrunk. "A low-class devil without the ability to alleviate light shouldn't even be on their knees!"

She stomped towards him, making him step back from her more. "It hurts..." she told him. "It really hurts...I feel like I might be dead every second...but..." Her gauntlet began to grow. "I'm so pissed off at you that I don't give a damn in the slightest!"

"Explosion!" shouted her gauntlet as it transformed it and the bow and arrow a little, making them longer. She looked shocked at the new look. Green energy shot towards them. Raynark could only drop his jaw in fear.

"A mid-class shockwave?!" he shouted. "No, wait...even STRONGER?! No...no fucking way! Part of your Sacred Gear is just a Twice Critical! How the fuck-?!" She stepped towards him. He flinched, formed another light lance, and threw it at her. "Impossible!" However, she used her bow to knock it away. She was crying and pissed off at him. Out of fear, he tried to fly away from her, but Issei pointed two of her longer, more powerful, and more sharper arrows at him.

"You're not going anywhere!" she shouted to him.

"Oh, I will, you fucking bitch!" he shouted back. "I'm the supreme!"

"Die, you damned ANGEL!" She then shot them both, one piercing his back and through his chest, making him scream. The other arrow then exploded behind him, making him scream more and crashed the window, falling out of sight. The female devil panted and wiped her sweat. That felt good to hear him scream in pain and agony. "Serves you right, asshole." She felt faint, however, now that he was out of the way. As she was going to fall though, Yumi appeared and put her arm around her shoulder.

"Wow, Issei-chan," she said. "I never knew you could beat a fallen angel all by yourself."

The brown-haired girl smiled a little, a little relieved she was alright. "You're late, Princess," she said as she continued panting.

"The President ordered me to not get into the way, so I did."

Her eyes widened. Richard knew about... "Wait...he did?" she asked her.

"I did, yes," replied Richard himself. Issei saw him leaning against a wall. "I figured you would defeat him."

"President?" she asked.

He smiled at her. "I was done with my business, so I teleported here. Once I did, I saw Yumi and Kabu fighting a whole bunch of nuns and priests." He then walked towards the girls.

"We wouldn't have made it if it weren't for him," Yumi added in gratitude.

"Man, I wished I hadn't worried about you guys..." Issei replied. The doors opened to reveal Kabu dragging Raynark in by his wing.

"President, I got him," he said as he threw him to the red-haired devil. Almost his entire back had been blown out, showing his inner flesh as well as the hole where one of Issei's arrows went through. His wings were de-feathered, only several remaining. Issei was surprised that he was still alive and her explosive arrow made that much of an impact to even cave in his back.

"Nice to meet you, fallen angel Raynark," Richard greeted. He looked up at him. He placed a hand on his hip. "My name is Richard Gremory, heir apparent of the Gremory family."

His magenta eyes shrunk in horror. "So...you're the...man of the Gremory household?" he asked in a feared tone.

"It's nice to see you, though it won't be for long. Also..." He put out his fist and opened it to drop some black feathers. Raynark gasped, looking more scared than ever. "I finished off your friends. The three who came by got blasted away by me."

"Blasted away?" asked Issei. She wondered what he meant by that.

"The President is known as the 'Crimson-Haired Ruin Prince'," explained Yumi. "Or the 'Prince of Destruction'."

She looked at her. "Destruction?" She then looked at Richard. She smiled, knowing that her master was probably powerful, much to her relief. "So I'm serving that much of a master..." she whispered.

Akihiko, still in his shrine uniform, was sweeping up the many black feathers scattered around him. "Eeto, eeto~, you've made quite a mess~," he stated with his eyes closed and his usual smile. He chuckled.

"You Gremory bastard..." Raynark muttered.

"When Donnasia attacked Isa, I figured there were fallen angels in town," Richard continued. "And I knew you were scheming something. We would have never interfered if you haven't caused us trouble, but..."

"Was it for me then...President?" Issei asked. Richard turned to her, his eyes widening at her Sacred Gear.

"Isa, your Sacred Gear..." he said in awe.

She looked down at her weapons and gauntlet. "Oh, I don't know how, but its shape changed," she explained.

He looked at her gauntlet and smiled. "A red dragon...now it makes sense," he whispered to himself. He then turned back to Raynark. "Fallen angel Raynark, this girl, Hyoudou Issei, possess a very special Sacred Gear-a very special and rare Longnius. Her Twice Critical isn't a mere one nor is her Creation Maker."

"What the...fuck are you talking about?" the raven-haired fallen angel asked, confused and angry.

Issei herself looked down at her gauntlet, the green orb sparkling gold inside. She was awed at the sight. "Known to double the wielder's powers and create arrows that can be regular and can have special powers; allowing anyone who possesses it to surpass even the Devil or God's power temporarily...it's one of the two very rare Longnius: The Gauntlet, Bow, and Arrow of the Red Dragon Empress, Boosted Gear."

Raynark gasped and looked down at the ground in horror. Does that mean...that bitch...has that sort of Longnius that can bring hell even to God?! he thought.

"It may be potent, but it takes time for it to power up, so it's not almighty," Richard continued explaining as he turned to Issei. "You won because your enemy let his guard down." She nodded. But it was powerful enough to make Raynark's back have a huge back wound. That meant that it could be much more powerful than that...

"I-Issei-chan!" shouted...Yuuto. Everyone tensed up, especially Issei herself, and looked at Raynark, who transformed into his "Yuuto" form. He still had that large back wound, but he looked like he was crying and wanting Issei to help him. "Please...help me! I said mean things to you, but I never meant them! I said those because it's my duty as a fallen angel!"

The female pervert shuddered at the sight of him. "Y-Yuuto-kun...?" she muttered in shock. Flashbacks of the date came back to her. Her feelings then became mixed. She was overall confused.

"Look, I-I still have proof of what you said!" He then raised his arm up, showing his watch she bought him. "You remember this, right?! Y-you were nice enough to buy it for me!"

"Wh...why..." she stuttered. "Why do you still have that?" She looked down at her feet, her stomach churning at the sight. Richard frowned at her. He could see the sadness coming from her eyes. It must have been so hard for her now that her ex-boyfriend was back.

"I-I couldn't just th-throw it away," 'Yuuto' answered. "It's precious to me. U-usually, the boyfriend buys something for the girlfriend." Issei gulped and walked towards her ex-boyfriend. He smiled at her. "It was so nice of you to buy something for me. I really appreciate it." The brown-haired devil felt troubled. She wanted to spare him, but then...this was Raynark in front of her, the man who almost tried to kill her many times, the man who called her a bitch many times. But then...she loved Yuuto...she really did...

"This is bad, Kabu-kun," Yumi whispered to the white-haired shouta. He nodded and the two ran towards her, but their master spread his arm out, stopping them. He felt like Issei needs to deal with this alone. She did go through a rough time because of him.

"Please help me, Issei-chan!" 'Yuuto' begged. "Call the ambulance! I'm in really bad shape here."

Her body kept shaking, her eyes watering once more. "You are so..." She sniffed. She really did love Yuuto Amane...but Yuuto wasn't real. As much as she wanted him to be, he wasn't, and she needed to accept that. "Yuuto" was nothing but an illusion made by the enemy. She sighed, turned her back towards him, walked to Richard's side, and said, "President, if you will." Raynark looked shocked that she would reject him. The crimson-haired man then walked towards him, blood-red crimson energy forming in his hand. The raven-haired fallen angel gasped.

"Don't try to seduce my lovely servant," he said coldly to him. "Get out of my sight." Raynark screamed in agony as Richard shot the energy towards him, obliterating him into pieces and letting his last feathers rain in the church. Issei still had her back at the sight, ignoring the wind blown by Richard's energy and the rain of black feathers. She was still thinking about when she first met "Yuuto".

"I know this is very sudden and all, but...do you mind going out on a date with me?"

"I knew you were my one and only, so I just wanted you to know..." He smiled at her. "Do you mind going out on a date with me, Hyoudou-chan?"

She sniffed once more, looking at the ground with black feathers on it. She heard something, which made her look up and see Asher's Twilight Healing Rings floating in transparent green orbs. Richard caught it and turned to Issei, smiling. "Why don't we return these to him?" he suggested. The brown-haired girl tried her best not to cry tears of joy. Raynark was finally gone and at least Asher has something to be buried with.

"Yeah..." she replied. He gave the rings to her and she walked to Asher's body. She knelt down and put the two rings on his ring fingers. She sighed, looking away from the body. "President...I'm so sorry. After talking so big and even with the help of all of you..." She began to cry once more, grabbing his hand. "I couldn't save Asher-kun..." She began to sob.

Pained to see her like this, Richard walked to her, knelt beside her, and patted her hair, making her look at him. "It's alright, Isa," he said in a soothing, comforting voice. "You just lacked experience as a demon. No one will blame for it." She gripped on the dead priest's hand tightly and hugged Richard, shocking him a little and making him blush. She sobbed into his shoulder.

"B...but...I..." she whimpered. He smiled and continued patting her hair, letting her cry on his shoulder.

"Isa, it's okay..." he whispered to her. "I know a way to revive him." She pulled away from him, looking at him with big eyes.

"R-really?" she asked.

He nodded. "It's unheard of, but it's worth trying." He got out a chess piece from his pocket and showed it to her. "Do you know what this is?"

"A...a chess piece?" she answered, unsure.

Akihiko then appeared in his school uniform in the room and walked towards them. "Not just any chess piece," he replied with a reassuring smile. "It's a bishop piece."

She looked up at him. "Akihiko-kun?"

Richard looked at the piece. "A bishop's task is to support other demons in the household," he explained. "His healing abilities would make him a capable bishop."

Issei gasped. She got an idea what he might do to him. "Pr-President, does that mean..."

He continued to smile reassuringly at her. "I will try resurrecting this priest into a bishop," he replied to her. She smiled and hugged him once more.

"Thank you!" she said to him happily. He blushed once more, but hugged her back. He was happy that she was happy he could do it. Besides, he needed a bishop in his peerage.

Later, Asher's body was laid down on the floor, a magic circle appearing below him. He had his hands in prayer and a bishop chess piece on his chest. Richard had his arms spread out. "I, Richard Gremory, hereby order you: Heed me, Asher Argento," he said. "Bring your soul back into this world, and become my servant demon." The magical circle glowed, blowing up upwards towards the blonde-haired male. "You shall become my bishop...and rejoice in your new-found life!" The chess piece then went into him, making him glow red. Richard put his arms to the side and sighed.

"President, how's Asher?" Issei whispered to him.

"Please be quiet, Isa," he replied quietly to her. She nodded.

The former priest's rings glowed and the magic circle disappeared. He began to move a little, making Issei gasp. He then opened his eyes, making them wide open. He gasped as well.

"Asher-kun!" the female pervert cried out happily as she ran to him. He then sat up.

"Wh-what?" he asked, moving his fingers and feet. "I'm still alive?" He then looked up at Issei, who hugged him.

"I'm so happy you're alive!" she said to him. He was also happy that he didn't truly die. He hugged her back.

"I only resurrected him because you obviously care a lot about him and I wanted his ability to heal us devils," Richard said to Issei, making the two look up at him. "I'll let you take care of him as his senior devil." He smiled at them both and walked away.

"Wait, devils?" Asher asked. "Issei-san, what's going on?"

"I'll explain later..." she replied, a tear rolling down from her eye. "Come on, let's go." He kept smiling at her. He never felt so happy in his life. Despite being dead for a short amount of time, this had to be the best day of his life. Same with Issei. Despite so much happening in one day, she felt like this was the best day in her life. Asher was alive and she'll be seeing him more often.
