Chapter 3: Rock Dust Light Star
Disclaimer: I own none of the material nor it's characters
As the room stares at the wrecked scene being repaired by several crew members aboard the station. The group rushes down a corrider feet behind the medics carrying the new mysterious man via stretcher as the first to speak is Issei who says "How in the world is this guy still alive, a crash like that should've had him near death".
Rias walking fast in motion with the others says "No telling but I sense no energy from him yet so it's safe to assume he had a contingency for this somehow to live through it". Raynare with eyes focused on the man says "That coat he was wearing is made from the same energy that brought me here, he might be the linked to the one whom we spoke that would come". The next to speak out was Venelena who said "We'll soon find out what's going on but I can't help but feel like I know this man"
With all these questions in mind they soon reach the infirmary room where a space suited worker says through a mask "Please remain outside until the procedure is done, you may watch through the observery window" to which Sirzechs says "Understood, keep us updated on any signs of him coming to" as the worker silently nods and rushes into the room.
As the door shut a red sign over it glows saying "Locked" as Zeoticus says "Ok, while repairs are being made and the man is being examined, I and the others will let you kids have your questions answered by Raynare while we check on a few matters relating to the situation at hand, she has much to explain to you all". As the elders of the group begin to walk away, Serafall winks back at them saying "Play nice you guys no fighting no matter what hehe" and turns to follow the others.
Then the ORC group all face Raynare as Rias speaks first and says coldly "First question, are you the same Raynare who murdered Issei and Asia" to which she replies "Yes, the same one, I remember that clearly". Issei who had been staring into the Raven haired Fallen says angrily "Give us one reason you should live because despite what the rest might think, I don't trust you for shit". Raynare simply stared calmly at the young teen and said "Because the last thing I remember from the other universe was living in a place of pure terror, I thought you might be pleased to know I've suffered greatly at the hand of a cruel harsh place I can't describe even to my own understanding".
As she says this, Issei then calms slightly keeping his eyes locked on her as Rias says abruptly with hesitation in her words "You were in that horrible place I saw...weren't you?". Raynare with a surprise look responded in shock "How much did you see Gremory? Did anything there look back at you?!" as she shook her head and said "No, why is that?". The fallen angel replied "If any of four those things saw you, you would be sent there never to return". As the others stare shocked hearing this information, Xenovia asks "Ok so let me get this right, you came from 'that place' and there are some kind of things are looking for you but what do the repeats mean and most importantly how does Ophis factor into this?".
She responds "Shortly after Ophis found me, my mind was slowly draining before she could learn everything and only fed me the memories she was able to scan before it all vanished, as far as i'm aware of the repeats, something has been purposely keeping us bounded to the events that we have lived 302 times over and over again and now the repeats don't happen anymore after we became aware of it, figures like the ones you met start examining us in secret, what makes this strange is we've never knew they had a 'boss' until now".
Everyone's jaw drops as they hear this news and Kiba says "Still doesn't tell us why are those things after Ophis" as a melancholic voice says "Because that's my creator, the man who lays in that room is what made me". They turn around to Ophis who is standing behind them with a frown as she continues "When i first found you I sensed an energy much like my own, then I remembered being taught how to use my powers by him in a place unknown even to me" and then she drops a black tear "I remember him taking my doll and locking me in the dimensional gap saying he would come back for me but... never came back for me"
Asia looks worriedly at Ophis and says "Poor Ophis..." but is interrupted by a spike of intense energy erupting from the infinity dragon as she says in an echoeing voice "I'll never forgive him making me like this". She then walks towards the infirmary door and bursts it open with her energy wave as Raynare says standing in the way "Stand down Ophis, don't do what I think you are about to do" as she replies "Out of my way" and smacks the fallen angel into a wall with brute force.
As Ophis steps inside the doctors steer clear in fear of what might happen to them as she steps closer to the unconscious man forming a ball of black energy saying furiously "Now you will pay for that in agony!". As she goes in to hit him with the ball of energy , the man blows his breath causing it to dissipate as she stares shocked at the development. The ORC also remain still as they witness it from the entrance as they rush to aid Raynare who stands up from her injury surprised at the man who has opened his eyes staring around the room.
The man then looks at Ophis standing over him as he says plainly "Hey could ya gimme a little breathing room, a few lifetimes of being separated and you already trying to kill me baby girl". He then sits up and puts his thumb in his mouth and blows his breath that causes his body to bloat momentarily and immediately deflates saying "Ok that takes care of injuries, now where my coat" and looks at the group and says snarky "Hey which one of you took my shit, was it you string bean with Ddraig inside his jizzatron 5000?". Issei then says stunned "Wh-what did you just call my arm?!" and he replies standing towards them "You know that thing you use on your laptop at night genius, no wonder you have low ratings".
Akeno then says with her trademark giggle "Oh my little Issei is a known pervert even in space" and Koneko says in disbelief "I expect nothing less from the pervert"making the others chuckle a bit from the spectacle. After a brief second, Ophis aims a strong punch to the man only for it to be blocked by his index finger as he says "Sweetie hold the phone for two minutes I just woke up geez, you always were one to throw a tantrum about everything even after 6 billion years". She silently stares t him aiming another punch to his chest retorting with a surprisingly loud tone "You monster! I don't care that you made me i'll destroy this whole world to get rid of you!" only for him to dodge it again as he reaches for his belt.
The man now holding a belt says with a straight face "Ok at first I was cool but now you're just being a disrespectful brat, last chance calm down now or I'll make you" as he twirls it around like a pair of nunchaku saying "What's it gonna be?". Ophis now increasing her power causing the station to rattle violently yells "TRY IT!" as she rushes towards him with great speed as he shakes his head in disappointment replying "Ok then, everyone look away and close your ears, this is gonna get ugly".
As she is about to make contact, he effortlessly dodges to catch her arm from behind as he raises his belt hitting her posterior with several swift cracks saying in between strikes "I did, alot to find, you and you got, the nerve , to act a damn fool, towards me like that, now calm down, and behave for once!"as she screams in pain with each hit. As he stops hitting her, she falls to the floor holding herself while the others stare with unease as they witness the defeat of the mighty Dragon God herself not sure what else is come. The man then puts on his belt saying facing the others "All is forgiven, you'll feel fine in a few minutes and now I suppose you're all wondering what's going on here and I aim to tell you everything."
They all stand bewildered by the event that just took place and Irina breaks the silence by saying calmly "How about telling us just who and what you are". He says walking up to them with a small smirk "Very well, I am the oldest known being you'll ever meet, my name is Zamiel or Z for short, though many insist on calling me th-" as he is interrupted by a voice "The nothing King, the legends are true...". The voice is revealed to be a shocked Vali Lucifer as Zamiel says "So you know me kid, you must have broken free of the cycle too like the others here, by the way i'm not a king so no formalities please". Vali says "I've seen inscriptions in many places of a being of power dwarfing all the realms combined but never thought it to be true, you are revered as a force to be feared" .
Akeno hears this, as her knees quiver in disbelief as she utters "No way, you are him, Mother said you were just a myth to scare the gods" as he retorts "Afraid not, it's me in the flesh, though i'm not your enemy as you've been told in myth". Then as he explains this, the elder deities arrive as they take notice of a destroyed room with the man now awake and Baraqiel says in wonder "What happened here, did you do-" but stops as he gets a good view of Zamiel as if something came to mind and Zamiel says casually "Ah Baraqiel, been a while since I saw you, age wasn't kind to you at all".
He then says slowly as he immediately bows "Please forgive me, I did not know it was you in this form". Akeno looks at her father in suspicion and asks "How do you know him Father, what have you not told me?" and he says with his head down "The one before you was the benefactor of the Fallen Angels, our true founder and liberator during the great war". Irina then hears this and unleashes her holy sword pointing it at Zamiel saying in anger "You were the one who disrupted heaven?! The one who separated God from his children!?" and he says jokingly "Bingo!" causing her to grip her sword.
Just as she is about to make a move, she is stopped by the arrival of Lord Michael standing in the way as he says "None of you were supposed to know he existed, which is why you never knew the truth, we tried to apprehend Zamiel but he vanished immediately". Zamiel says to the angel "I'm still not apologizing you know that right?" to which is ignored and Zeoticus is seen looking away from him along with the other elder devils and Zamiel then asks "Hey guys, what's eating at you?" as they yell in unison "YOU KNOW DAMN WELL WHAT!".
Issei then says "Hold up time out for a second, does everyone know who this is?" and Sirzechs says with angered eyes "Unfortunately we do, Zamiel was our most well kept secret amongst your generation, we hoped you would never meet him". Then Grayfia steps up and barks "Not to mention he ruined our honeymoon and descreited the burial of the Four Great Satans!"and Zamiel replies "To be fair, you guys suck at partying so your welcome and plus you had midgets carrying caskets so of course I laughed the entire time it was fucking hilarious " as he sees his coat on a rack nearby. He then grabs it saying "Finally!" as he pulls out a rolled up blunt from one of the pockets and lights it up saying "Been wanting this for a while now" as he begins to inhale it deeply.
Zamiel then pulls out a pistol from the other pocket and says abruptly "Before we continue this topic, Asia can you take 2 steps to the left now your in the way" as she shakily says "O-okay.." as he quickly fires the spot next to her. As he fires at the unknown area, it is revealed to be the very same pig who started them on their journey who lays shot squealing eerily throughout the room as it oozes a purple liquid melting in it . Rias says to Zamiel "When did you see that, more importantly where did you get the gun, we checked your coat and found nothing" as he replies "See the stars on my coat, I can turn them into weapons by yanking them out of it" as she says "I-i'm not gonna ask this is crazy enough".
The next to speak was Zeoticus who said "Why have you returned, are you the one making us repeat our lives, are you the one after Ophis & Raynare?". Zamiel cracks his neck saying with another blow of his blunt "Yes and no i didn't know they were here until now, but I have come because since you figured out how to break free from your fates & destinies, you've attracted the attention of who i hid you all from, but we can't discuss it here, we will finish this conversation at my place". As they hear this Issei says in confusion "Wait a second dude, i still have so many questions!" and he replies quickly says "No time we gotta go now so hold on your lily magical asses, my ship should've repaired itself by now so lets roll, beam us up EVON".
As everyone hears this, they are all suddenly pulled upwards through a bright portal leading to a ship leaving the room empty. As this happens, a shadow forms on the floor as a hand pulls out of it followed by a woman with a shaved head. The woman then fully stands out the shadow and reveals her medium muscle toned figure, wearing a white skin tight suit with a zipper collar half undone and a metal four pointed star pendant implanted in her forehead. She then scans the room saying "Targets aren't here, but I sense many others to eat aboard this vessel, I am very hungry for flesh" revealing several rows of sharp teeth and two pairs of star painted wings as she says "I must remember i'm Rias no longer, I Davina, the wrath of the one true god, will feast on these traitors in the name of Yahweh!"
A/N: I know it's been a long time with dealing with life matters but be expecting another shorter chapter by tomorrow, and also some of these may leave you with several questions, but rest assured all will make sense soon enough because in this story not everything's as it seems. Until then I hope you readers will enjoy the story and share your thoughts free of judgement :)
