This is the 16th chapter. Okay, I've done what I can to clean up this mess on those chapters I've been made. Now, time to head up to Season 2. I don't own the series of High School DxD or the video game of Final Fantasy 13.

No flame reviews, seriously it's a bad rep and I have no tolerance what so ever.

Town of Kuoh

Few days have passed since the Rating Game which Rias have won for the first time and Riser's former Servants were free from him and live in Gran Pulse to have an honest life. What Virgil have heard was Xuelan have began training her cousin in martial arts, both Ni and Li were working as waitresses at the café which Lebreau have taught them how to cook, Karlamine, Isabela, and Siris were working with NORA to fight monsters which Gadot was currently dating with Isabela while Dajh was currently dating with Siris, Maqui was dating with Karlamine, and Yuj was dating with Xuelan. Yubelluna lived in Academia with Hope since he was teaching her magic and they were currently dating. However, they were giving them a helping hand to find the nekoshou's since they were still scattered in Gran Pulse.

He also heard that Serafall and Sirzechs were having some serious discussion with the Devil Council about the nekoshou's disappearance which they happen to take refuge in Gran Pulse according to Hope and Lightning. He was also being informed that Rias living under the same roof with Issei.

That morning, Virgil got up early when he heard a seductive voice. A familiar one that came close to him when he looked on his right, blushed at what he see.

Kuroka was sleeping next to him, naked. Her face was only two inches away from his, with the two of them holding each other. His arms were around her, holding the voluptuous nekoshou close to him. Kuroka's left arm was around his head, while he right hand was placed on his chest. She had her right leg around his left leg, trapping it between her thighs.

Her stimulating smell was filling Virgil's nose which he wasn't used to that smell since she lived with him, Asia, and Koneko at the Town of Kuoh.

But they got time until school day which he wanted to get his early morning training.

"Kuroka." Virgil said softly, moving his left hand from her back to her shoulder to lightly shake it. "Kuroka, wake up."

Kuroka's eyes were open as she look at Virgil with a smile.

"Virgil, good morning." Kuroka said, brushing her hair away from her face to look at him with her golden eyes.

"Good morning, Kuroka." Virgil said with a smile. "When did you get here?"

"I came in after you were sleeping so I've decided to sleep with you." Kuroka answered with a seductive smile. Virgil couldn't complain which he enjoys sleeping with her.

"That's fine, but we should get ready for early morning training." Virgil told her as he was about to pull the covers off his legs when Kuroka sat up and pressed her large breasts against his chest and wrap her arms around him, before looking him in her eyes.

"We've still got time left." Kuroka said with her seductive tone, slowly tracing a brand of Fal'Cie which his heart was placed with her finger. The way she talked and pressed herself onto him with her breasts caused him to blush with embarrassment. "It might be wonderful if we stay like this until it's time to wake up. Maybe we should do something sexy to deepen our bond."

She then lick his cheek, leaving Virgil blushed with few shades of red.

"Still a virgin, but I can fix that by changing some status with me." Kuroka said with a slutry tone. "Besides, I wouldn't mind having children with that kind of power."

"B-B-But, my powers...were from...the crystal." Virgil told her.

"True, but I really like those children to have that power from you." Kuroka said. "Plus, I really want to be close with the soon-to-be-father of our children."

Suddenly, the door was opened which happened to be Koneko while Asia was behind her, making them snap out of their thoughts.

"Kuroka, I won't let you have your way with Virgil." Koneko said with a glare. Asia stood there in her workout clothes with teary eyes and seemed really displeased. Showing her displeasure by making an unpleasant face.

'Shit, I'm in so much trouble.' Virgil thought with panick as Kuroka wrapped her arms around his neck with her devilish smile on her face.

"Well Shirone, I was planning to make children with him." Kuroka said to her sister, making Koneko and Asia shocked.

"It's not what you think!?" Virgil exclaimed, frantically waving his hands.

"Whatever, I'm taking off my clothes too!" Asia exclaimed as she grabbed her clothes, leaving Virgil shocked and Kuroka surprised. "I swear I'm not gonna be left out anymore!"

She approached them while taking off her workout attire, exposing her breasts. However, Virgil luckily manage to use his paradigm to saboteur and cast 'Stop' magic before things could get out of hand.

"I think you three have hold out our workout schedule long enough." Virgil said with his stern expression. "Once I wore off my 'Stop' magic, get dressed and wait for me at the basement."

"But Virgil!" Asia protested.

"No buts!" Virgil snapped at them. "I won't have any of you three getting into a catfight in my house."

With that, Virgil bonked them in their heads, leaving them a few bumps on their heads as they were headed to their own bedrooms to get dressed while Virgil gets his workout clothes on as he head towards the basement.

'Wow, didn't think Kuroka would go that far as for having kids. Wonder what Mom and Aunt Serah would say?' Virgil mentally thought with a sigh which he probably would think that both Lightning and Serah were expecting for some grandkids. With that, he's waiting for three girls in the basement so they could begin for their early morning training.

Few hours later, after they got finished their morning training, Virgil head towards the kitchen to cook breakfast. It was bad enough that he had to deal with the three of them arguing and not to have them wreck the house. Now Kuroka was in love with Virgil and she wanted to have kittens with him. Asia was having affection with him and Koneko was a bit protective of Virgil since she saw her sister tried to have her was with him.

When the three arrived in the kitchen to breakfast, both Asia and Kuroka helped Virgil out cooking as Koneko spoke when she and Asia noticed that Virgil have a smile on his face.

"Something going on, Virgil?" Koneko asked curiously, getting Virgil's attention.

"Oh, I'll be turning 18 in this coming month." Virgil answered, leaving the girls shocked.

"You mean, your birthday is this month?" Asia questions.

"Yeah, in next week." Virgil told them.

Kuroka, Asia, and Koneko were surprised to hear that he'll be turning 18 from this month as Koneko spoke.

"Rias wants me to let you know that the club members are coming to the pervert's house, so Asia and I will be there if you need anything." Koneko told him, getting a nod from Virgil.

"Let's just hope Issei behaved himself before he tries anything stupid." Virgil replied, placing the plates on the table while eating.

Koneko nodded in agreement as they finished their breakfast, Kuroka used her magic to teleport up to Kuoh Academy while Koneko, Asia, and Virgil were heading towards Kuoh Academy.


Kuoh Academy

The noon came soon that Virgil realized. It was a bright day at Kuoh Academy, and the weather across the country has started to become warmer than before since he arrived in the spring semester few months ago.

Virgil sighed while leaning back in his chair, staring at the ceiling.

'After everything went down with Riser at the Rating Game, Kuroka was determined to have kids, Asia was starting to have a rivalry with her while having an affection with me, and Koneko was a bit protective of me. This isn't gonna end well for any of us.' Virgil mentally thought when he noticed Issei was laying on his desk, staring at the window. 'Guess I'm not the only one who had a rough morning.'

"After that B.S. went down with Riser, Rias starting being way nicer to me than she's ever been before." Issei said to himself as he blushed with perversion. "Still though, I can't help but wonder what that sexy communication thing like mean."

"Hey Issei, what you smile like a bitch for, son?" A familiar and unpleasant voice asked, pulling Issei's ear while Virgil noticed that both Matsuda and Motohama were in front of Issei.

"Dude, what is your problem?" Issei retorts when he moved his arm away from Matsuda's hand. Motohama placed his hands on the desk and leaned closer to Issei.

"There's some odd rumors about you lately, so you might want to be more careful." Motohama told him as he turned to Virgil. "There's also some rumors about you too, you need to be careful."

"Why should you two idiots care?" Virgil asked, not really in the mood for them. "I've already know that it was you two morons spread some garbage rumors about me and Issei."

Both Matsuda and Motohama's faces went paled since Virgil have been told about the rumors thanks to a certain black cat. Issei was pissed off as he stand at his deck, glaring at the two.

"Okay, what rumors did you two told us about!?" Issei shouts with anger, wanted to know about the rumors.

"One was that you were messing around with super hot ladies and following the path of certain evil." Motohama answered, fixing his glasses while having a shadow looming around his face.

"What?"

"Yeah, yeah, for real!" Matsuda cuts in. "If like uh...you were using Rias and that flying ass Akeno secrets as blackmail for some real nasty running shit, man!"

"What?!" Issei shouted over the insane rumors as Motohama turned to Virgil, but he gave the glass-wearing pervert a death glare, leaving him shivered down to his spine.

"Well? I'm waiting." Virgil said with his dark tone.

"T-T-Then there's...you." Motoham said with his scared tone. "You were nothing more than a villain, who's even turned his perverted eye to the school mascot, Koneko Toujou, that's being said you devoured her body like a wild beast."

With that, Virgil got out of his desk, slammed the two perverts heads on the wall with sheer force.

"You two morons just never learn, do you!?" Virgil exclaimed with anger at those perverts, who was now buried inside of the wall after he slam them, leaving Issei scared.

"So, those two are harassing you again?" Virgil turned to that voice and noticed that was Aika Kiryuu, the same girl who attempted to measure the size of his manhood. Few days ago, she finally measured his manhood which she passed out with nosebleed which the girls sounded excited and the boys sounded jealous and mad. Standing next to her was Asia.

"Asia." Kiryuu called her. "There are so many nice boys around. You have to waste your time with him as a boyfriend."

"What do you mean...boyfriend?" Asia questions with a fluster.

"I'd watch it if I were you, Kiryuu." Virgil warned her. "I'm not in a mood for any of your crap. I was trying to get her adjusted to this country since she got here a few months ago. Also, I'm not her boyfriend."

"Then why were you always all over with each other? I mean, the whole school agrees." Kiryuu said with a perverted grin. "There's no way you two aren't having a relations every night."

"What's that?" Asia asked curiously.

"Do you want me to pound your head with my fist?" Virgil asked with a threatening tone, leaving Kiryuu frighten, shook her head frantically since she has been warned from the students for not taking Virgil's bad side which she was about that close for crossing that line.

Until a quick throbbing pain was coming from Issei's arm. Virgil noticed when Issei told him about making a deal with Ddraig a few months ago before the Rating Game was about to start. He knew that making a deal something that powerful was a bit reckless and dangerous. Issei head towards Virgil.

"I'm going to Akeno." Issei whispered in his ear, earning a nod from him.

With that, Issei left the classroom while rushing towards the Occult Research Club. Kiryuu walk towards Virgil.

"So you two seriously aren't together like at all?" Kiryuu asked curiously, leaving Asia flustered. "Have you two even bathe together?"

"Ah...no?" Virgil responded, not wanting to know what was going on her head.

"It's understandable. You're by far the largest pair I've ever seen." Kiryuu told him, leaving him blushed with embarrassment. "You would hurt her more than pleased her, so maybe I would-UGH!"

"Aika, stop it! I don't want you to say that stuff anymore!" Asia shouts with fluster and teary eyes since she covered Kiryuu's mouth.

'Oh boy, I wonder what Issei would say. Nevermind, I don't think I want to know.' Virgil mentally thought with a sigh.


Town of Kuoh

After class was over, Virgil and Kuroka were heading towards the house which they were informed that both Asia and Koneko were heading towards Issei's house for the meeting since the Occult Research Club was cleaning. Hopefully, Issei would be on his behavior before he tries anything stupid. When they got here, they've noticed Azazel was waiting with a grin, along with Kalawarner.

"Hello, Virgil." Azazel greets. "I was wondering when you were planning to come inside since I have information of Kokabiel's whereabouts."

That got their attention as Virgil spoke.

"What's going on with Kokabiel?" Virgil asked seriously.

"Should we go inside first before the discussion?" Azazel said with serious expression. The discussion was pretty serious and needed to be private as they head inside of Virgil's house.

When they got inside, Azazel sat down on the sofa as he spoke.

"Right, let's get down to business." Azazael said seriously. "Kokabiel was on the move. The information I've got from the Vice-Governor was that Kokabiel was planning to steal the Holy Swords from the Church and plans to use them to start another war."

"That does sound like Kokabiel, he always enjoying war." Kuroka said with a sigh.

"How many of the Holy Swords were stolen?" Virgil asked, leaving Azazel ponder.

"Three." Azazel answered as he explain. "What you need to know was that there were seven Holy Swords that can slay Devils. However, they're were also fragments of one Holy Sword that was called, Excalibur."

That got Virgil shocked of hearing about the Holy Swords that were fragments of Excalibur.

"Excalibur was once wielded by Arthur Pendragon, the Legendary King of Camelot. It was made by magic and alchemy by those who reached into the territory of God, but at some point, it was broken and the fragments were made into seven different swords." Azazel continues. "Three of them were stolen from one of Kokabiel's lackeys while the other two were entrusted by two Exorcists."

"Wait a minute, what about the other two?" Virgil asked with confusion.

"Well, one was missing, but the other one was stored from the Church in England." Azazel answered. "Anyway, that's all I know about it."

Virgil and Kuroka nods with understanding which now that Kokabiel was making his move which he stole only three Holy Swords while the other two were entrusted by two Exorcists.

"Do you know who work with Kokabiel?" Kuroka questions.

"I'm afraid so, one was Freed Sellzen while the other was Valper Galilel." Azazel answered which they figured that Freed would be working with Kokabiel.

"Freed Sellzen, that rings a bell." Virgil said seriously. "He's the same psychopath that we've encountered before."

"Yes, but Valper was way worse than that." Azazel told them as he explains. "He was once a member of the Church who was fascinated by the history of Excalibur. He was also known as the 'Genocide Archbishop.'"

"Genocide Archbishop?" Virgil repeated with confusion.

"Valper was in charge of the Holy Sword Project." Azazel said as he began to explain. "Like the Sigurd Institution, the Holy Sword Project was the secret project that was conducted inside of the Christian Catholic Church that aimed to make anyone who can wield the Holy Sword."

Both Virgil and Kuroka were shocked about the Holy Sword Project as Azazel continues.

"Valper have taken the children to the Institute in Italy while gathering those who have the talent to wield the Holy Swords." Azazel told them. "However, the project was a failure and they have decided to dispose the children with poison gas. Every children were killed one-by-one, but only one who barely survived that incident. I'm sure know someone from Rias' Peerage."

Virgil pondered for second, realized what Azazel have meant about the boy.

"Kiba, you mean to tell me was that he survived from that incident!?" Virgil asked with serious expression, getting a nod from him.

"Just barely only because that Kiba was infected by poison which he was on the brink of death." Azazel told him.

"Until Rias took him in." Virgil said, putting together two by two. "And have him as a Knight."

"Yes, that's exactly what she did." Azazel nods. "But that's not the worse case, Valper was excommunicated by the Church which he was known as the 'Genocide Archbishop' only because of the killing spree he has done over the years. As far as I know, he wanted revenge from the Church."

"Which he allied with Kokabiel in order to steal the Holy Swords." Kuroka said seriously.

"Exactly." Azazel nods.

"Okay, I get the gist of it. But what I want to know is why is Kalawarner here?" Virgil questions seriously.

"I ask her to work with you since you're gonna need a helping hand." Azazel answered. "Also, Mittelt was still in training so she can get better with her abilities. That and one other thing, I have given Kalawarner another chance to work with me and the other Grigori's. Of course, she decides to accept since we didn't give them any options."

Virgil couldn't help sigh which Azazel have offered Kalawarner a second chance which she accepts since she don't have other choice.

"Alright, she's in, but I won't like it." Virgil told him. "But Rias and the others won't like it either."

"Nah, I'm not expecting too." Azazel shrugged. "Anyway, since Kokabiel was way out of it, you got my permission to kill him. He became a traitor the moment he rebelled and gone rogue to steal the Holy Swords. Even if he doesn't die from the upcoming fight, I'll have him frozen for eternity for trying to start another war."

Virgil gave him a nod with an understanding as Azazel turned to Kalawarner.

"Now Kalawarner, I know you have bad history with Virgil and Kuroka, but you're gonna have to work with them. Understand?" Azazel said with his stern voice.

Kalawarner slowly nods with reluctance which Azazel gets the message as he left the house, leaving them alone. With that, both Virgil and Kuroka knew that Koneko and Asia won't like this situation whenever they come back home, but their gonna have to tell the two about Azazel's arrival.


Town of Kuoh, Hyoudou Residence

When Rias and her Peerage arrived in Issei's house, they were sitting around in his room.

"Well then, let's begin our regular meeting." Rias told her Peerage, but Asia raised her hand.

"Um, before we do that, I just wanted to tell you was that Virgil's birthday is coming up this month." Asia announced, leaving them surprised. "He'll be turning 18 in next week."

"Wait, seriously!?" Issei exclaimed with a question, getting a nod from her. "Whoa, I think we should plan a party!?"

"That's a great idea, we should have a party in the Occult Research Club." Rias agrees.

"Um, I think Virgil was planning to head back in Gran Pulse for his birthday which I think his adopted family had plans for him." Asia told them, leaving them shocked.

"What!?" Issei shouts.

"Is he really planning to head back to Gran Pulse?" Kiba asked curiously.

"I don't know, but I think we should ask Virgil about it." Rias told them, getting a nod from the Peerage as she spoke. "Now, for this month's contract numbers are in. Akeno: 11."

"That's right." Akeno agrees.

"Koneko: 10."

"Sounds good." Koneko said with blank expression.

"Kiba had 8."

"I did." Kiba stated.

"3 for Asia."

"Yay!" Asia cheered as the others look proudly at her.

"No way!" Kiba said, smiled at her. "That's really impressive, Asia."

"Good for you, lady." Akeno praised her with a smile and giggled. "You should be proud of yourself."

"Especially considering you're brand new at contracts." Koneko said.

"Oh my goodness, thank you so much." Asia thanked them with a smile.

"And Issei..." Rias continued to where she left off, taking a quick sip of tea before saying. "0."

"Ugh...I'm an embarrassment." Issei said with embarrassment, rubbing the back of his hand.

"You know, if you don't work hard and get contracts, you'll never became a High-Ranking Devil." Rias told him.

"Yeah, yeah, I get it." Issei said with determination, clenching his fist. "Next month, I'm gonna do what it takes to get first place."

However, the door was opened when they saw Issei's mother, carrying some snacks for the Occult Research Club.

"Sorry to intrude, kids." She apologizes with a smile.

"Oh welcome to the meeting." Asia said with a smile.

"Thank you." She thanked her. "Now this little gathering is for Insult Research Club, right?"

"She's always so close, yet so very wrong." Issei muttered.

"Well, I've brought something that might inspire everybody." She told them, brought those photo books with her, much to Issei's dismay.

"MOM!?" Issei exclaimed with annoyance.

With that, Issei's mother showed those photos to the Occult Research Club members which Issei was embarrassed.

"So, who wants to see Issei when he's just a little boy?" She asked, causing the Occult Research Club members to look at the photos of Issei when they saw the picture of him drinking a bottle of milk, naked.

"Wow, he was completely naked. Aww, he's so small it's adorable." Akeno squealed with a blush on her face, smiling.

"The bare naked truth about Issei's tiny past." Koneko said with deadpan expression.

"This picture if from kindergarten and all he's done since then is chase around the girl's and their bottoms." She explains.

'Someone kill me.' Issei mentally thought with embarrassed, deadpan expression.

"Oh, it's tiny itty witty bitty Issei." Rias said, with a squeal when she look at the picture.

"I totally agree with Rias, tiny, itty bitty and cute." Asia agrees with a smile, but she was wondering what Virgil looks like when he was little.

"I mean, right? He's just ridiculous. It's too much." Rias said.

"Awesome, why'd you go and freakin' break my balls like this, mom?" Issei asked with a blush and deadpan expression.

"She seems like a great mother to me." Kiba said with a chuckle.

"Like You Know!?" Issei shouts at him.

"Yeah, must be nice to have a family." Kiba said with a kind smile.

"Wait, are you saying you don't like have a family?" Issei asked with shock when Kiba flip another page as he saw that photo with serious expression.

"Hey, Issei." Kiba said, caught his attention. "This picture."

Issei looked at the page that Kiba stopped. The picture that Kiba saw seemed surprised about the old picture of himself next to what seemed like a boy of his age.

"Oh that kid lived down the street from me, we used to play together all the time. They had to move once one of his parents got a job overseas." Issei told him, pondering of what the kids name. "Man, I can't remember that kids name. It's been a while though."

"One more thing." Kiba said with his serious tone. More serious than anything that Issei have heard from him. He pointed at the sword that was hung over next to the fireplace. "Do you remember this sword?"

"No I mean, you know. I was five." Issei answered.

"I guess anything's possible, huh?" Kiba said with hatred on his eyes when he looked at that sword. "It's funny, I never expected to see of a picture of you, imagine that."

"What you mean by that?" Issei asked.

"This is a Holy Sword." Kiba answered.

"A what?" Issei asked with confusion.

"Never mind, it's not a big deal." Kiba said, shrug it off as he closed the book, give it to Issei with a smile. "Great pictures, thanks man."


Town of Kuoh

Later that night, Issei was off to perform a contract. Of course least month, he didn't get any contracts which that got him a bit disappointed, so he decided to use the bike to get there. He could only hope that he could get a contract which he's got a lot of catching up with at least with Asia, which she still has a small amount of contracts compared to others.

However, he was also wondered what got Kiba on edge. For what he knows, Kiba was a nice guy that was able to keep his cool during battles, but what changed his attitude was the Holy Sword he saw from the picture.

After seeing that, he was at the location of the client, a large apartment building as Issei stopped the bike.

"Here we are." Issei said.

Go into the building while going up of the floors, Issei arrived at the door to his client as he rang the doorbell.

"He'll probably give me the 'what kind of Devil rings the doorbell' crap again." Issei said with a sigh.

The door opened halfway. Standing there was Azazel.

"What's up? You're the dude who summoned a Devil, aren't you?" Issei asked before holding up his hands. "Now I know this seems weird, but it's not. I get of how I should appear. You know like bam, out of one these magic cards which is a hell of a lot cooler than ringing a doorbell. But I'm in transition."

"Well, you might as well come in." Azazel said, surprising Issei for a moment. He was certain he was going to be criticized for showing up late, ringing a doorbell, or not being one of the girls. This is pretty much different. "What's the problem? You're still a Devil, right?

Walking into a dark room, Issei was amazed by all of the nice furniture in the living as he sat down on one of the sofas.

"This place is amazing." Issei said with amazement as he look at the living room. "It's weird though, he doesn't look like he's from around here. I wonder what he does?"

His thoughts were cut by the sound of the door opened. Looking at it's direction, Issei saw Azazel standing at the doorway, holding a silver tray that contains a silver cups and alcohol.

"Something to drink, perhaps?" Azazel asked with a smirk.

"Oh no thanks, I'd love to but I'm still a minor." Issei denied politely.

"Really? Bummer." Azazel said as he walked over to the sofa on the right side of Issei was sitting at. "I was hoping to have a partner to drink with."

"So you wanted a Devil to have drinks?" Issei questions.

"What? Is that bad?" Azazel asked.

"No, it's fine." Issei held up a reassuring hand. "The contract will be formed when I fulfill your request and receive a fitting compensation in return."

Azazel started to setting out the cups and bottle.

"Unfortunately, all I have was sake." Azazel said. "You okay with tab water?"

"Yeah, sure." Issei nods.

A few minutes later, they have been talked for a while. Azazel laughed at him for not being able to teleport and having to use a bike which that annoys Issei.

"That was fun, so what you like as a compensation?" Azazel asked.

"What already?" Issei asked with confusion.

"You're a Devil, right? I guess you want my soul." Azazel said with a smirk which Issei holds his reassuring hands.

"No, I don't want your soul. All I did was having drink with you, so that wouldn't fit the contract at all." Issei told him, waving his hands.

"Oh? That's unexpected." Azazel said with a shrug.

"Yeah I know, but regardless, my masters motto was still 'Honest Billing.'" Issei said with a smirk as Azazel points at the painting.

"Will this suits you fancy?" Azazel asked, leaving Issei looked at the painting which he surprised. "It's not a reproduction."

"Doesn't that seen a bit expensive?" Issei said nervously when Azazel told him that the painting is the real deal.

"I don't have anything else to pay you at the moment." Azazel told him. "If it won't work, I have my soul."

"Uh, it's cool. The pictures fine." Issei said nervously.


Meanwhile, Virgil, Kuroka, and Kalawarner decided to split up and see if they can find a clues about the whereabouts of Kokabiel and his allies or find the Holy Swords since some of them were stolen while some were entrusted to the Exorcists.

Suddenly, he heard a laugh that was coming from the alleyway which he recognized that laugh from anywhere. Rushing into the alleyway, Virgil saw that was Freed Sellzan went in hot pursuit of the priest, but he was holding some kind of unique sword.

"Well Father, it looks like you're in for some untimey time in the afterlife by yours truly!" Freed cackled as he dashed forward with his blade in possession to kill the priest. "Time to die!"

Virgil draws out his gunblade as he rushed over toward the priest and blocked his incoming strike, causing Freed to jump a few steps back.

"Well, well, it's been a while hasn't it?" Freed questions with an evil smile. "If you want to die then you have to get in line so I can kill the priest behind you."

"Like hell I let you do that!?" Virgil retorts as he used his paradigm to synergist.

"Hastega" He used his magic to enhance his speed.

"Is that so? Well then, you won't feel a damn thing once I'm done with you." Freed said while Virgil used his paradigm to switch synergist to commando.

However, when Freed was about to charge after him, Virgil rushed right in front of him and deliver a powerful punch to his stomach, causing him to roll across the ground for a pretty good meters. Freed got into his feet with on hand on his injured gut.

"Hey! That fucking hurt, you bastard!" Freed shouts with a glare. "You didn't even let me make a move to strike you. Now, I really going to kill you with my Excalibur Rapidly."

Virgil got into his fighting stance with his gunblade. He kept his sight trained on Freed, but he checked on his watch.

"Oh shit! I was supposed to head back right now!" Freed said as he quickly took something out of his pocket. "As much as I'd love to kill you, but I don't have time so sayanora, sucker!"

He threw the pellet down, causing an intense flash of light to temporarily obscure the white-haired l'Cie's vision.

Once the light had died down, Virgil saw that Freed had vanished without a trace, but he now knew that Freed have stolen Excalibur Rapidly as he placed his gunblade on his holster, he turned to face the priest behind him. The priest was cautious, but he clutched his stomach and letting out a grunt in pain. Virgil noticed that he had quite a gash as he used his paradigm to switch commando to medic.

Virgil caught him by shoulders before the priest collapsed down to the ground.

"Curaga" He began to heal him, leaving him surprised.

"Thank you, young man." He gratefully thanked him.

"No problem." Virgil nods. "Care to explain what happened?"

"Well I suppose I'll give you the information as repayment." He said as he explains. "That mad heretic, Freed Sellzan was part of the group who have stolen the Excalibur Swords. I was sent to retrieve them, but it seems I have failed."

Virgil already knew that the Holy Swords were stolen thanks to Azazel since he gave him information since few hours ago.

"But for now, I have to return to the Church and make reports about it." The priest said. "Rest assured, I will not go any further battles."

Virgil gave him a nod with an understanding as the priest began to leave.

"Just make sure you be careful." Virgil said.

"Don't worry about me, young man." The priest assured. "I don't intend to throw away your help by getting myself killed."4

With that, the priest left, leaving Virgil alone as he headed straight towards his house since he somehow knew this wasn't the end of him.

'That makes two of us.' Virgil mentally thought seriously. 'I have a feeling that things are gonna get ugly pretty fast.'


Town of Kuoh, Abandoned Warehouse

The Gremory Peerage was stood outside of the abandoned warehouse which it gave off a bad vibes which they've received an urgent request to deal with a Stray Devil. Issei had just arrived at the warehouse with the painting on his back.

"This looks like the place." Issei said as he placed the bike and the painting against the wall.

"Issei, over here." Rias called him, earned his attention as he ran towards her. "I'm sorry I had to make you come out."

"No, it's fine." Issei said as they look at the abandoned warehouse. "There something going on inside there, huh?"

"No one can miss the smell of the Rogue Devil." Koneko said with blank expression.

"No kidding." Akeno agrees. "We've been given orders to take it down before the night was over."

"Whatever it is must be extremely dangerous." Rias said with a smirk. "We shouldn't try to fight it inside. Asia, you wait at the rear."

"Yes ma'am." Asia said with determination.

"Akeno and I will be ready and waiting outside." Rias ordered them. "So Koneko, Kiba, and Issei will draw the enemy out where we can take care of it."

"Make sense to me." Akeno said with confidence.

"Right." Koneko said.

"I'm on it." Issei said with a smirk as he unleashed his Boosted Gear.

However, Kiba had a distant look on his eyes which his mind was about the Holy Sword. Rias turned to him with worry.

"Kiba?" Rias called him.

"Yeah right, got it." Kiba replied, causing the Peerage to get slightly concerned at his unresponsiveness.

"Well then lets roll-out." Issei said with confidence. "Come on guys!"

Issei went on ahead of the abandoned warehouse, along with Koneko and Kiba. Rias looked at Kiba with concern since he was a bit distant and didn't respond.

"I wonder what it'll be? Probably another crazy ass monster." Issei said with a smirk when Koneko walked towards the gate as she bash the doors with her unparalleled strength while revealed her cat ears and tail.

"...Why couldn't you warn me when you do that?" Issei said nervously.

"Let's go." Koneko said as she went inside, along with Issei and Kiba.

When they got inside of the warehouse, they began to search for the Stray Devil.

"I can't see shit in this place." Issei complains when Koneko stopped which that his attention. "Koneko?"

"It's here." Koneko said when they noticed a Stray Devil that was hiding from the steel pipe which the Stray Devil was a teenager with light hair appeared around the corner. She was observing them with a tentative expression on her face. However, when the Stray Devil comes out, her appearance turned into a spider monster with sharp fangs and a horn on her head as she leap towards the ceiling.

"See, I told you so!?" Issei exclaimed.

The Stray Devil was crawling up the ceiling as she goes after them as Koneko turned to Kiba.

"Kiba, focus." Koneko told him. "What are you doing? Hey, Kiba!"

"Sorry." Kiba apologized, snapped out of his thoughts as the Stray Devil spewed the acid as Koneko, leaving her collapsed while her clothes melted partially.

"Bastard!" Issei yelled at the Stray Devil with anger as he leaped towards her while the Stray Devil charged after her, but Issei was blocking her path.

"Dragon Shot" Issei shoot the red beam at the Stray Devil, but she managed to deflect his attack. "Damn it! Guess I haven't powered myself up enough, yet. What are zoning out for, princess!?"

Kiba was snapped out of his thoughts as he draws out his sword, slicing her arm. Kiba landed on his feet, but tripped over the pipe as he tumbled down to the ground. The Stray Devil slammed down to Kiba as she was about to kill him, but Koneko grab hold of her.

"It's time to go." Koneko said as she tossed her over the ceiling, leaving the Stray Devil wide open for Akeno.

"Akeno." Rias called her with a smirk.

"I'm all over it, Rias." Akeno said with a smile as she cast lightning magic to struck the Stray Devil, causing her to land on the ground with hard impact.

"Once a Devil, you who ran wild away from you Master to fulfill your own desires." Rias said, walking towards the Stray Devil. "For such a crime, you deserve to die a thousand times over. And now in the name of the Marquis of Gremory, you shall pay with your life. TIME TO DIE!"

Rias cast her Power of Destruction against the Stray Devil, leaving her destroyed.

"Hell yeah!" Issei said with a smile as both he and Koneko rushed out of the warehouse while Akeno landed on the ground.

"That poor creature's heart has completely lost it at this point. You can barely even call her a Devil anymore." Akeno said with serious expression.

"I don't wanna end up like that." Issei said with deadpan expression, wrapping his arms on himself.

"Now you know what deserves an emergency subduing order." Akeno added as Asia rush towards Koneko with worry.

"Koneko, do you need help?" Asia ask, earning her attention.

"Yes please." Koneko said politely as Asia began to use her Sacred Gear to heal her. Suddenly, they heard a slap that was coming from Rias slapping Kiba with an upset expression on her face.

"Think you've got it together now?" Rias questions seriously. "With a mistake like that, you put everyone here in serious danger."

"I apologize." Kiba apologized to her when her expression softens.

"What's the matter, Kiba?" Rias ask with worry. "This isn't like you."

"I'm fine, just having an off day." Kiba answered as he bowed to her. "Now if you'll excuse me, President."

With that, Kiba was walking away from the building and his group. Issei began running after him.

"Kiba!" Issei called him, placed his hand on his shoulder. "What the hell? You're acting nutso. Why would be so rude to the President?"

"It's got nothing to do with you." Kiba answered without looking at him.

"That doesn't mean I can't be worried!?" Issei retorts, leaving Kiba smiled with hatred.

"Worried? Why would ever be worried?" Kiba questions, leaving him shocked. "Devils are by nature, selfish beings."

"I've got no idea what your point is here?" Issei asked with confusion.

"Well, for the record, I do think I was wrong, later." Kiba said as he was about to leave.

"Wait, hold on!?" Issei exclaimed. "If you're that upset, then you can talk to me about it. I mean we are friends, aren't we?"

"Friends, huh? Right." Kiba said, turned his head to Issei. "Issei, I appreciate your passion. However, something has recently brought to my attention."

"Something like what?" Issei questions with confusion.

"A purpose." Kiba answered. "See? I remembered my reason for living. That is to say the reason I fight."

"I thought you were fighting for Rias." Issei told him.

"You thought wrong." Kiba denies. "All I want was revenge."

"Revenge?" Issei repeats.

"It won't be much longer now." Kiba told him with hatred expression. "I going to destroy Excalibur. That alone is my purpose."

With that, Kiba walked away to find the Holy Swords and destroy them, leaving Issei alone.


Abandoned Church

Unknown to the Devils was that the Church that was used by the Fallen Angels as the sky rained heavily, four figures entered inside. The two were wearing white cloaks with blue and gold accents while the third one was wearing a black cloak. The fourth figure was tall, muscular priest about the age of forty with black beard, black hair with grey streaks, and brown eyes. He wore a red cape over a large white cassock with red and gold accents. Black boots, black pants, a clerical collar, and a silver cross necklace. Their heads and faces were hidden inside of the cloak hoods.

After walking down the church, the figures stopped in front of the broken cross at the back of the church.

"I'd say that utter ruins describes it." The girl with large sword spoke seriously.

"Rumor has it there was a disturbance here recently." The other one spoke.

"Yes, this was caused by Fallen Angels and Devils." The man spoke, pondering. "But they also said that an unknown individual must've come here to stop the disturbance."

"Do you know who caused it?" The third woman asked.

"I'm afraid not, Griselda." The man shook his head.

"It's getting late." The first figure said, before taking the hood off with her hand that was covered with a black fingerless gloves that extended to her biceps. Revealing herself to be a young woman with chin-length blue hair with a dyed green fringe on the right side and brown eyes. "And you're certain this is it? We're suppose to be meeting here, am I correct?"

"Oh please, like I would be wrong." She said with cheerful tone, revealed herself a young woman with violet eyes, a long chestnut hair that is usually tied into twintails, each held a blue scrunchy. "On top of that, I lived in this city with my parents as a kid."

She showed the picture to the Exorcists.

"Give me a little credit, okay?" She said with a smile.

Both the male Exorcist and Griselda grew worried about their lost sons well-being which if anything happens to him, they will never forgive themselves.

"I just hope our son was safe." The man said with worry as Griselda walk towards him.

"And he will, Cornelius." Griselda assured him with a smile. "We sent our son far away from the Church ever since he was a baby."

Cornelius looked at his wife with a smile as he spoke.

"I would wonder what our son look like now?" Cornelius questions which they might able to see their son.


Town of Kuoh

Kiba was walking around the town without an umbrella, allowing himself to be soaked by the heavy rainfall.

'I mean we are friends, aren't we?' Issei's words echoed in his head.

'I apologize Issei. But it wouldn't be right for me to have friends. I don't deserve that. Not now...' Kiba mentally thought.

Until, something snapped out of his thought when he saw Freed, but noticed he saw a Holy Sword.

"Meiner-neiner, yahoo! It's been a while, hasn't it?" Freed asks with his sinister smile, waving his sword around. "Did you miss me? It's nice to see the playboy of the scum Underworld has come to pay a visit."

Kiba turned to his scowl expression with hatred and rage.

"So, it's Freed Sellzan." Kiba said with pure rage. "Have you been hiding in town this whole time?"

"Such a wonderful reunion, it's bringing a tear in my eye." Freed said with a cackle as Kiba draws out his sword.

"Unfortunately for you, I'm not in a best mood today." Kiba told him, causing Freed to laugh.

"That's perfect, I need some fun. These pussified priests is getting so boring." Freed said, waving his sword around as the holy aura emits the sword.

"No, that light...that aura...it can't be." Kiba said with shock.

"Oh, but it can." Freed answers. "Nice timing, as penance for your previous actions, let's have a little test to see which is stronger. So tell me what you think, like your filthy cursed sword be the one, or do you think it's more likely the Holy Sword known as Excalibur will be the victor."

When Freed revealed the Holy Sword, Kiba growls with anger.

"I will never forgive Excalibur for what it did to me." Kiba said with anger.

That's it for the 16th chapter. Sorry about the delay which I lost track and I felt like crap.
