Here's the next episode! Enjoy!
*WARNING: This episode's gonna be a two-parter as well as the next one!*
"The current three-way deadlock does nothing but harm this world," Azalea said to break the silence of the summit. Everyone looked serious and was dead silent. She looked up at them and smirked. "Don't you all agree?" There was still more silence, all the more reason why she thought she was right.
Episode #11: The Leaders' Summit Begins!-Part 1
"The two war generals, God and the Devil King, were annihilated," Michael stated. Asher looked down solemnly, still in shock of that piece of news. Issei looked at him and felt sorry for him, since she knew how much he believed in God.
Irving was also solemn about that as well, looking down. Xenos looked at him and frowned. I suppose you were told about it too, Irving... he thought, feeling sorry for him.
"And that's just it," the fallen angel leader replied. "The real problem lies between the two outside of the three Powers, the Red and White Dragon Empresses, powerful females that can change the world." The two females mentioned then exchanged glances. "I want to hear what you two have to say."
Valina just smirked and replied, "All that I want to do is to fight powerful foes."
Azalea chuckled, looking back at her. "It's possible to find powerful foes without starting a war, isn't it?"
The silver-haired girl chuckled as well. "That's right."
"And your stance, Red Dragon Empress?" She then turned to the female pervert.
"Uh..." The brown-haired girl looked around, hoping to think of an answer, but didn't. Asher and Akihiko gave her encouraging looks, though they kind of didn't work. "I don't really know, since you asked me that so suddenly..." She then nervously giggled and rubbed the back of her head.
Azalea giggled as well, lacing her fingers together. "Then let me make it easier for you to understand." She leaned forward a little, resting her cheek against her fist again. "Hyoudou Issei, if we all start fighting, then you'll never be with Richard Gremory." Not only did Issei blush and gasp at that statement...but also Richard.
"Wait, what?!" he exclaimed.
The fallen angel then laughed at their reactions before clearing her throat. "But, if we make peace, then prosperity and propagation will be in order."
Their blushes amplified. "Pr-pr-PROPAGATION?!" Issei had her perverted face now.
She nodded. "Mmm-hmm. Everyday, you will be making babies diligently with Richard Gremory. Of course, there is the case of giving birth to and having children, but that'll be between you and him."
Just the thought of starting a family with Issei was enough to have Richard...like the idea...? Still... "Wh-what are you talking about?!"
Grafier sighed, feeling embarrassed for them like the rest of them, while Akihiko...looked like he didn't approve of the idea...
"So, in short, peace brings making babies everyday, war brings none of that," Azalea summed up. "Seems simple enough, right?"
Issei gasped again, now imagining the red-haired man completely naked, showing off his sculpted chest, and looking seductive, being on top of her. Making babies everyday with the President?! she thought lecherously. She then imagined him laying down, still looking seductive and having his hand cover his penis. He was then in another position where he's standing up, his hand still covering his penis, but he was licking his lips in a seductive manner. He then was laying on his side, giving her his hand and saying, "Isa~..." She grinned. Now I get it! Peace means I'll have sex with the President~! Imaginary Richard was then sitting and having his knee up to his face, his thigh covering his penis. She then imagined him in crawling to her, his ass perked up, then in another where his hands were behind his head, showing off his pecs and abs with a grin. B-but am I in the position to do that?! Plus, if I get pregnant, then I'll give birth and that can be scary... Her grin widened though. But I can deal with it! If it continues to be peaceful, then someday...someday...
She began to squeal before pumping her fist into the air. "I want peace! Peace forever!" she answered, Asher and Akihiko smiling. "I wanna have sex with the President!" The dead silence came back again. Both Akihiko and Asher's smiles disappeared when they heard her say that. Yumi nervously smiled and sweat-dropped at that while Xenos gave her a concerned look.
"Issei-chan..." the blonde-haired girl said before pointing to the Devil King. "Sirzeca-sama is present..." She froze, realizing what she did and where...and when she did it. The crimson-haired woman giggled nervously at that, not all that surprised that a girl like her said that about her brother, though she wished she hadn't said that. The crimson-haired man, however, was face-palming, covering his embarrassed face.
"Jeez, you're so blunt..." he muttered to her, making her tense up in utter embarrassment.
"Eeto, eeto~..." Akihiko said before chuckling. He was right, she WAS blunt.
So I got a little too excited... she thought, shaking like a leaf and being mortified. She cleared her throat and faced everyone, trying not to be embarrassed. "A-anyways, I won't use my powers unless I help President Richard-sama and my friends!" He sighed in relief and stopped face-palming, smiling at her. At least she wasn't just blunt about her perverted tendencies.
"Oh, Red Dragon Empress," Michael said, getting her attention. "I believe you said that you wanted to ask me something, correct?"
Issei was surprised she remembered, so she nodded. "Yeah, thanks for remembering our promise," she replied with a smile.
"It is no problem." She smiled back at her.
Her face then turned serious, since what she was going to ask her was, in fact, serious. She took a deep breath and finally asked, "Why was Asher-kun excommunicated?" The former priest in question gasped and looked at her in shock, seeing her serious face turn somber. "Why was Asher-kun, a firm believer in God, excommunicated?"
"Isa..." Richard murmured as he placed a hand on her shoulder for comfort. Asher frowned and looked down. She didn't need to ask him that, but...
The beautiful angel sighed, her face turning serious. "After God had passed on, only the system remained," she answered. "You could call it the power to administer our divine protection, mercy, and miracles. As of now, it is barely functioning with me as the center. Unfortunately, there was a need to avoid anything that could negatively impact the system."
The female pervert still kept her somber face as well as the others, especially Asher. "So, it's because he could heal fallen angels and devils too?"
"Our believers' faith is the sole reason as to why those of us in Heaven exist," she continued. "Anything that can leave a negative effect to the system must be removed immediately. Otherwise, the system cannot be sustained."
"That's why those who came to knew about God's passing were also excommunicated," Xenos stated, Asher looking at him with wide eyes. He took a couple steps forward. "Is that right?"
Michael nodded. "Correct. And for that reason, you and Asher Argento had to be declared as heretics." She then closed her eyes and tilted her head down. "You both have my deepest apologies."
Irving looked shocked at this discovery. That was why Xenos was excommunicated? He didn't betray us...? he thought in utter surprise. He'd never thought that at all...
"Chief Michael, please raise your head," the blue-haired male said, the archangel doing so. "I have lived in the Church for many years. I may have some regrets, but I am satisfied with my life now as a devil." He smiled and put his hand over his heart. Everyone else in the peerage smiled too, including Asher. His face looked somber as he looked away a little. "As for the other believers, I feel sorry for them." Irving's purple eyes continued to be wide in utter shock.
Asher decided to walk next to him too, stating, "I am also happy with my life right now." He laced his fingers together as if he was in prayer. "I was able to meet others that became near and dear to me."
The beautiful angel felt happy for the both of them, but didn't smile, saying, "I am thankful for your forgiving spirits, gentlemen." Everyone in the peerage were still smiling. They felt happy for the two former members of the Church, saying they were satisfied being devils now.
"Say, isn't that boy the one that one of my lackeys tricked and killed?" Azalea asked, breaking the happiness of the air as she pointed at the blonde-haired male. He gasped, almost feeling angered that she even mentioned that.
"Hey! Don't say that like it had nothing to do with you!" Issei shouted to her, taking a couple steps forward. "A fallen angel guy killed Asher-kun because he wnated to be like you!" The blonde-banged woman looked at her with sharp eyes, making her tense up a little.
She then sighed. "You're not wrong. What my underlings do is also my responsibility. So, I'll make you satisfied in any way I can."
She was still pissed off, hearing the condescending tone in Azalea's face. "What?!"
Richard walked to her with a serious face and placed his hand on her arm. "Isa," he said to her sternly.
Suddenly, a large orange magic circle appeared above the building.
Valina was the first to sense it, then Issei, Yumi, and Xenos. Suddenly, at a blink of an eye...
Everything stopped.
Richard and Issei looked surprised, the female pervert's gauntlet appearing and her asking, "Wait, what happened?" They both looked around, seeing that the room was now a magenta color. Sora and Tsutomu were frozen as well as Akihiko and Asher. Everyone else looked shocked at this as well.
"How..." Yumi asked, the Sword of the Betrayer out. Xenos had Durandel out too. Both of them were glowing.
"Did time...stop?" Issei asked.
Azalea sighed. "Looks like it," she replied. "Besides those of us with greater power..."
"You and I were protected by the power of the dragons," Valina said to Issei, the girl looking down at her gauntlet. She then looked at the sword wielders, including Irving. "They were protected by the power by their Holy Swords."
Shocked, the chestnut-haired guy asked, "Whoa, what the heck happened?" His eyes and Xeno's met before he looked away, frowning. Xenos frowned as well.
"That means I'm fine because of you, Isa," the red-haired male stated, removing his hand from her gauntlet. They both smiled at each other, relieved about that.
However, everyone heard a sudden explosion outside, some of them gasping. They all looked out the window and saw the same orange magic circle, some cloaked people, mainly men, appearing out of it upside-down. "Who are those people...?" the brown-haired female asked.
"They are Magicians," Seranfall answered.
She turned to him with a puzzled look. "Magicians?"
Outside, a few Magician women shot out beams through the eye of their hoods. Thankfully, three white magic circles appeared at the building the summit was in and protected everyone inside.
The black-haired guy pouted at this and stated, "Pretty rude and dismissive of them to ignore a Mighty Trooper like me."
Michael's face was serious. "But this power...what is it?" she asked.
"They probably got a hand on that half-vampire girl and forced her to create Balance Breaker conditions," the fallen angel replied.
Issei's eyes widened and she gasped, realizing what she said. "Wait, you mean Grace-chan?!" she exclaimed. They got her...? But she was safe, wasn't she...?
"Very few people can stop time like this," Sirzeca added, looking serious as well. "It is possible that Grace had fallen into enemy hands."
Richard looked pissed, the two girls in his peerage noticing. "President..." Yumi said.
"Terrorists using one of my members like this..." he muttered before clenching his fists. "What an insult!"
Everyone saw that the guards were frozen as well. "The guards..." Michael muttered. They all witnessed the Magicians shooting them and making them disappear forever.
Issei then looked back up at the large magic circle. "Teleportation magic...?"
"Someone must be connected to the Gate within this barrier," Sirzeca stated stated.
"Meanwhile, our magical transport troops have been completely sealed off," Richard added.
"They got us cornered," Michael said. "With this sort of timing and using a member of Richard Gremory's household to protect us..."
"Someone betrayed us..." Irving finished for her, taking a quick look at Xenos, who was looking right back at him with a forgiving face. He sighed and looked back at what was happening outside.
"We cannot stay here like," the red-haired female said. "If Grace's power gets any stronger, even we..."
At the old school house, Grace and Kabu was chained to magic circles. The white-haired shouta was placed upside-down, his shirt also being down and revealing the top of his underwear and his undeveloped chest. One of the Magicians made the blonde-haired reverse-trap flinch forward, screaming. Her eyes had golden-glowing pupils and black lines stemming from them.
"...will perish."
Even Sirzeca-sama and the others...? the female pervert thought, feeling a little feared. "She has that much power?"
"Yes," Yumi answered her. "That's because she is a Mutation Piece."
"Mutation Piece?"
"A piece that causes strange phenomena," Richard replied. "The Bishop Piece used to turn Grace into a devil should require a number of pieces, but only one was used. It was a Mutation Piece."
Her eyes widened in surprise. Wow, she really is THAT amazing...
"That girl's potential is immeasurable," he continued, crossing his arms. "Thus, she had to be sealed away." Now she completely understood, considering the situation now...
One of the white magic circle was destroyed, some of the beams now hitting the building.
The female fallen angel adjusted the azalea flower on her head and said, "If we don't handle the half-vampire girl first, it'll be to dangerous to fight back."
Richard then thought of something, then turned to his sister with a serious expression. "Onee-sama," he said to her, making her look at him. "In the old schoolhouse, there's an unused Rook in storage."
"A Rook?" she asked. "Ah, a castling, right?"
Issei looked puzzled. "Castling? What's that?"
"There's a special rule where you can switch the places of the King and a Rook in one move," the blonde-haired beauty explained for her.
"Are you sure it's alright to be sent in by yourself?" Sirzeca asked him with worry.
He placed a hand on his chest, his pecs on emphasis. "Grace is a member of my household. I will take responsibility for her and bring her back." She nodded, knowing that he was being serious about this and caring for her.
"If you borrow Sirzeca-sama's power as well, you may bring one more person with you," Grafier stated.
That was all Issei needed to hear since she didn't want Richard to go there by herself. "Then let me go!" she suggested, Sirzeca and Grafier looking at her determined face. "I'll protect the President and make sure he's alright!" The crimson-haired man looked at her a little, looking a bit surprised, but then smiled. There was that fire in her that he liked...
Sirzeca nodded again. "Then I leave it up to you."
She nodded back at her. "Yes, m'am."
Valina let out a deep sigh, getting everyone's attention towards her as she smirked. "Why can't we just blast her away with the rest of the terrorists?" she suggested in a condescending voice. That couldn't anger the peerage more, especially Issei and Richard. "If you want, I can do that for you."
"You bitch!" the female pervert shouted at her before Richard stopped her as he grabbed her arm.
Azalea clicked her tongue and waggled her finger at her. "You should think about this situation a little more, Valina," she replied. "We're all trying to make peace here."
"But you know it is against my nature to stand around and do nothing."
She giggled. "Can't deny that, so why don't you go outside and give our enemies trouble? Having the White Dragon Empress out there will confuse their ranks a little."
The silver-haired girl stopped leaning against the wall and said, "Alright, m'am." She then got out her wings and got outside.
She flew up into the sky and stopped at the large magic circle, the Magicians now looking at her. She faced them and shouted, "Balance Break!" She then put her hands forward.
"Vanishing Dragon," her wings said as her entire body glowed a light blue. Soon a piece of white armor appeared on her arms, then another on her legs. "Balance..." Another piece of armor then covered her entire chest. "...Breaker!" She had had her helmet that completely covered her face. She was finally transformed.
Still inside, Issei looked awed. She did that so easily! she thought as she looked down at her gauntlet. I had to sacrifice my left arm for it, but I only have ten seconds! She was certainly more experienced than her, she knew that much.
The many Magicians shot their beams at her, but a bunch of blue magic circles protected her. She scoffed and formed a light blue ball of power. She spread it around, creating lightning that killed the many Magicians surrounding her in only a few seconds. She then giggled at how easy that was. More Magicians appeared from the magic circle, however.
Issei's jaw dropped. "Holy crap! She's REALLY strong!" she exclaimed.
"She is so strong that it feels dangerous," Xenos stated with concern. Yumi nodded in agreement with him.
The female pervert then turned to Richard and said, "We'll get Grace-chan back, President. I promise you!" He nodded, since he believed that too.
"Oh, wait a second," the fallen angel said as she approached them. They turned to her, seeing her smile. What did she want...?
...
A magic circle then appeared, Richard and Issei holding hands and looking at the others that were unfrozen. "I'm leaving Richard to you, Issei-chan," Sirzeca said.
"Yes, m'am!" she replied as they both then disappeared into the magic circle. A chess piece fell onto the ground after they were gone.
It was a Rook piece.
Eye Catch #49: Grace is half-naked, wearing only a pair of gray briefs. She looks like she's running away in embarrassment, blushing and sweat-dropping. She's holding her school uniform shirt to cover her chest.
Done! What do you guys think?
That scene where Issei said he'd have sex with Rias out loud made me laugh a little, so writing the genderbent version was no exception.
Review, follow, favorite, and I'll see you guys in the next chapter!
