This is the 20th chapter of the crossover story. I might be planning to an Eidolon for Virgil in the future chapters. So, if you have some idea of which Eidolon, let me know and I'll take a look at it, but not the ones that were already taken.
Example:
1) Lightning's Eidolon: Odin
2) Snow's Eidolon: Shiva
3) Hope's Eidolon: Alexander
4) Fang's Eidolon: Bahamut
5) Sazh's Eidolon: Brynhildr
6) Vanille's Eidolon: Hecatoncheir
These six Eidolon's were taken which I'm still planning for having Virgil an Eidolon in the future chapter. So, 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 whatsoever.
Kuoh Academy
At Kuoh Academy where the battle have decided and the world was hanging in the balance. Virgil have manage to call his adopted mother about Kokabiel plans to start a war which she was shocked when she told her adopted son that they won't have enough time to have the other people evacuated and have them take refuge, but she able to sent Dajh and the former Phenex Servants to give them a helping hand. Sona and her peerage have form a large imperfectly blue and purple transparent dome began to take shape and form the school campus and buildings encased within. The light of the dome was the only thing shining tonight, it would've attracted the attention to almost everyone around town. However, the illusion spell was placed to keep the battle contained.
Rias and her peerage met up with Sona and the rest of the Student Council Members along with Virgil, Kalawarner, Kuroka, Dajh, and former Phenex Servants. Kiba, Xenovia, and Virgil's biological parents weren't presented which they might be inside of the dome. Everyone was standing outside the barrier at the front of the school. Sona and her Peerage, minus Tsubaki, were standing on the Sitri magic circle that acted like platforms, holding out their hands with magic circles in them towards the barrier to keep the dome active.
"We've covered the entire school with a protective barrier." Sona informed her. "If nothing drastic happens, it should be able to keep anything within it from getting damaged."
"Thank you, Sona. This means so much." Rias thanked her.
"Understand that this will only work if conditions remain the same." Sona told her.
"Got it." Rias replied.
"To think that we'll be fighting against a leader of the Grigori's." Yubelluna said as and her fellow former peerage members stood behind Virgil and Dajh, who was checking his two pistols. "This happens so fast."
"You don't have to go with us." Virgil told them when he turned his head. "This doesn't have to be your fight."
"Sorry, but we've gotten stronger from fighting monsters in Gran Pulse. Also, we're dying for some action." Xuelan said with a smirk while placed her hand on her left hip. Isabela, Ni, and Li then cracked their knuckles, Karlamine and Siris held their swords, and Yubelluna having her staff with her.
Until, Tsubaki appeared from the teleportation circle from behind them, earned Issei's attention.
"Tsubaki, how's Irina?" Issei asked with worry.
"Her condition is not life threatening." Tsubaki answered seriously, walk past them to join her members of the Student Council. "She can thank Asia and Virgil for that."
"What a relief." Asia said with a smile. However, another questions aroused in Issei's head.
"Where's Xenovia?" Issei asked with a frown. "I wonder if she'll even come now."
"I don't know, Issei." Virgil shook his head. "But I'm more worried about my real parents, they should be here by now."
"Hmm...You met your real parents?" Dajh asked, earned his attention.
"Yeah, few days ago." Virigl nods. "They came here to look for me, but they mostly looking for the Holy Swords called Excalibur."
Dajh gave him a nod with an understanding which he wanted some explanation about Virgil's biological parents, but that will come later after the fight against Kokabiel was over.
"Have you heard about Kiba either?" Saji asked, concentrating on the barrier.
"No, we haven't seen him at all." Issei answered.
"I have a feeling that he'll be confronting Valper inside of the barrier." Virgil added, leaving Koneko nodded with an agreement.
"I would do the same since Valper was inside of the barrier." The white-haired girl said, earned their attention.
She is a young woman with white hair tied into a braided twin-tails with a hairclip on the right side of her bang and blue eyes, but she's on the same height as Kiba. She was wearing an exorcist attire and carries her sword around her waist. She also wear a silver cross around her neck.
"And who are you?" Rias questions.
"My name is Tosca. I'm an old friend of Isaiah and a survivor of the Holy Sword Project." Tosca introduced herself, leaving them shocked.
"So you're the girl that my parents told me about." Virgil said, getting a nod from her.
However, Issei was looking at her with a lecherous look on his face when he noticed that the most was her breasts.
'Her breasts weren't as big as Rias or Akeno, but Tosca's breasts were the same size as Asia's.' Issei thought, earned from both Virgil and Koneko bonking his head, leaving some bumps on his head.
"I'll keep the barrier up, but I might not be able to keep the school from collapsing. As much as I prefer to avoid it." Sona told them.
"I'm not going to let that happen." Rias said sternly.
"Rias, it's not too late." Sona said seriously. "You can still contact your brother."
"You know what I don't see." Rias shook her head with a smirk. "You tried to contact your big sister."
"With good reason too." Sona agrees. "Sirzechs loves you, you know he would want to help us. There's no doubt that he'll come here as soon as you called him. So called him."
Rias knows that Sona was right which she doesn't want to call her brother since Sona have already called her sister. Before Rias could say anything, Akeno steps in to informed them.
"There's no reason." Akeno said with a smile. "I've already contacted with Sirzechs."
"How could you do that without asking me first!?" Rias asked sternly, causing Akeno's expression turned angry.
"Look Rias, I understand you don't want to bother your brother unless we absolutely must." Akeno told her with her stern tone. "Our enemy is a Leader-Class Fallen Angel, he's not someone you can take on your own."
"She's right, Kokabiel was the Co-Leader of the Grigori and one of the most powerful Fallen Angel." Kuroka added. "Knowing him, I'm afraid this fight isn't gonna be easy."
Rias couldn't help but scowl since Akeno and Kuroka were right as Akeno smiled.
"I think that qualifies this as a must." Akeno said, leaving Rias sigh with defeat.
"Fine." Rias said with reluctance.
"How long will Sirzechs arrive?" Virgil questions.
"Sirzechs is gathering reinforcements. He'll be here in one hour." Akeno informed him, getting a nod from him which he knows that it won't be enough time.
"Good grief, girl. I cannot win against you, can I?" Rias rhetorically asks as she turned towards the school with confidence and determination. "Should be a fun hour."
Virgil and Dajh looked at the school with a scowl since they know that it won't be enough time for Sirzechs to arrive.
Once they were inside on the other side of the barrier, they noticed that almost everything was a different shade of red. The group made their way to the front doors of the main building, planning to go through it to get to where Kokabiel was planning to start the war.
"So, any idea what that old coot wanted to do with the Holy Swords?" Dajh asked curiously.
"To be honest, I don't know." Virgil shook his head with a scowl. "I still can't believe that Valper was in charge of the Holy Swords."
"Valper does have the liking of the Holy Swords because of it's history. However, he couldn't wield it, but he would admire anyone who would wield the Holy Sword Excalibur." Tosca explains.
"Really?" Rias asked, causing everyone turned to Tosca.
"Yes, but neither me or Isaiah would become eligible to wield them. However for the result, you already know the rest." Tosca told them, getting a nod from Rias.
"Issei." Rias called his name. "I'll need you to be on support this time."
"Support?" Issei asked confusingly.
"I want you to use your ability to transfer your power to the rest of us to increase our strength." Rias answered with a smile.
"No problem, I'm all over it!" Issei said with a confident smirk.
"If that's the case, we'll give him cover!" Isabela proclaimed, with a nod from her friends.
"Which means we'll have to stall some time for Issei to boost up his power until it's enough power." Virgil said seriously.
"That's right." Rias nods while turned her head towards Akeno, Koneko, and Dajh. "In the meantime, I think we can stall until Issei can transfer his power to everyone, don't you?"
"Yeah, I bet we can manage that." Akeno said with a smile.
"Absolutely." Koneko replied.
"Damn straight." Dajh said with a smirk.
Kuroka and Kalawarner nodded as Rias spoke to Issei.
"Issei." Rias called his name, earned his attention. "Yes and we're counting on you."
"Sure thing." Issei nods.
"Let's concentrate on being on the offensive for this battle, we have to get into this school and prevent Kokabiel from releasing his power, whatever that maybe." Rias explains with her serious expression. "Unlike the fight with Riser, our lives will be at risk this time. But believe me, I will not allow us to die today. We will survive my dear servants and friends, we'll survive this fight so we can come back here and go to school once more."
They all replied with their determination while Issei began to use his Promotion ability to promote as Queen. The real fight begins.
The battle will take place in the middle of the school field where the ritual was taking place. There were four Holy Swords that were releasing extreme lights while floating. Those Holy Swords were on the end of the magic light circle that was spread out on the field. The floating lights were also going towards another towards the magic circle of the same shape, but wider. In the middle of the circle was none other than Valper Galilei who appeared to perform a ritual with his maniacal smile on his face.
Virgil, Dajh, Kuroka, Kalawarner, Rias and her peerage, and former Phenex servants were left speechless when they saw the scene.
"What in the world was that!?" Asia asked with fright.
"It's seems like the four Excalibur's have been made into one." Kokabiel said with a smirk, earned their attention. "That is just so Valper, you know?"
"Kokabiel!" Rias exclaimed with a shock.
However they see him upwards when they look towards the sky. They saw Kokabiel sat on a tall throne with his legs crossed while looking down on the group.
"So is big brother on his way yet? Or is it Serafall instead?" Kokabiel asked with his smirk.
"Right now, we're the ones here ready to fight. That's all that matters." Rias answered with a smirk.
However, Kokabiel only find this amusing that they thought that they can fight him. He then snapped his fingers and a massive Spear of Light was formed in his hand. They stood ready for a fight when he attacked, but the Spear of Light was hurled on to the Fallen Angel's right side, followed the path of the Spear of Light, they watched as it flew in the air and hits the roof of the gym. Until, the gym was engulfed by a huge explosion, knocking everyone of the group off their feet with it's dust and cloud shockwave.
When they recovered from the shockwave, they were stunned and terrified to see the Spear of Light was standing where the gym was once located which the building was gone. It was completely destroyed by Kokabiel.
"This is so boring." Kokabiel said in his boredom. "I need a diversion."
Neither of the group couldn't take their eyes away from the crater that was formed after the explosion. The Spear of Light that was once there was dissolved and disappeared into thin air.
[What's wrong, kid? You scared?]
Issei looked at his left hand as the green circle of the Boosted Gear glowed when Ddraig talked to him.
"I have never seen the lance made of light before, dude." Issei told him. "It's like from another dimension."
[Of course it's from another dimension. Look at it, we're talking about a man who survived fighting with God and the Devil King.]
"Do you really think we can still beat him?" Issei asked.
[When it comes down to it, I'll beat him. Even if I turned most of your body into a dragon.]
"Most of my body, huh?" Issei said with a smirk as he turned back to Kokabiel. "Will as long as you leave me the important parts."
"Since you came all this way to see me, I might as well let you play with my favorite pets." Kokabiel said with a smirk as he snapped his fingers.
From the bottom of the throne, the beam of light fires and hits the ground. When it stopped, the magic circle appeared and fire was erupted as the growl was heard when fire disappeared, revealed a three-headed dog known as Cerberus.
"Cerberus!?" Rias exclaimed with a shock.
"Living the Gates of the Underworld, it's the watch-dog of Hades." Akeno explains.
"So he's real? What are we going to do?" Asia asked with a horrified expression.
"Uh, anyone got a doggy bone?" Dajh joked.
However, the Cerberus wasn't alone, a group of Cie'th have arrived. Each of the Cie'th were coming from different shapes and sizes, Virgil and Dajh readied their weapons.
"Looks like Cerberus have brought some friends." Dajh said seriously. "Kokabiel must've brought the group of Cie'th here."
"The group of Strigoi, Chonchon, Attacus, Wight, and Malebranche." Virgil added.
After the moment, the group of Cie'th stopped and turned towards the group. Silence fell upon the school field as the group of Cie'th and Cerberus were glaring at the group with hostility. They stared at them cautiously, readied their fighting stance.
"If it's a fight they want, then we'll do it!" Rias exclaimed. "LET'S BLOW THEM AWAY!"
With that, Rias charged her power of destruction and released them, the Attacus and Malebranche blocked her attack with their weapons. Rias, Akeno, and Koneko then jumped into the air and opened their wings, starting to fly over the army of Cie'th and Cerberus.
"Issei! Use your Sacred Gear to enhance our power!" Rias ordered her pawn, getting a nod from him as he used his Boosted Gear to enhance power.
The group of Cie'th and Cerberus started to close in on the group.
Akeno joined Rias, Yubelluna, and Kalawarner in the sky. Her school uniform disappeared in a flash of light before her shrine priestess attire to cover her. Akeno then shot a bolt of lighting at the Strigoi and Attacus, destroying many of them. However, she was being chased by Wight and Chonchon, but Yubelluna used her fire magic to fire at them, leaving them destroyed.
As they closed on them, Virgil and his group prepared for a fight. Both Virgil and Dajh wasted no time as they used the paradigm to activate commando and ravager. Virgil and Tosca then started using their blades to kill the group of Cie'th while Dajh gave them some cover-fire when he shoot them down. Each of those shots were perfectly aimed for the crystal heart of the Cie'th.
Kalawarner then conjure up her two Spears of Light as she then rushed forward and stabbed her Spear of Light into a Strigoi before kicking herself away. When the Malebranche came at her left, both Ni and Li intervene by blocking it's attack while her twin sister gave it a punch and Kalawarner used her Spear of Light to stabbing its head. When the Attacus was planning to attack from behind, Kalawarner swings her Spear of Light towards it while the nekoshou twins then kicked it.
Yubelluna took to the sky and used her new fire magic to rain down destruction on the Cie'th. Seeing that they were close to Virgil and her group, she then used her multiple purple magic circles around them, creating explosions that took out the group of Cie'th close to them. Seeing that she had given them some space, Xuelan, Siris, Karlamine, and Isabela sprang into action.
Xuelan rushed towards the Strigoi and deliver a powerful kick into it, sending it flying. Behind her, Attacus was about to slash her, but she turned away just in time to see that attack and grabbed the sword. Gripping it tightly that she was almost crushing it with her Rook strength, Xuelan then broke off the sword when she fire-punched the Attacus, broke the crystal heart. She then dodge that from the Malebranche before jumping and swing an axe-kick down on it's head, leaving it destroyed.
Strigoi ran after her as Isabela then rushed after it. She then grabbed it's arms and pushed it against her, but she heard a few of Chonchon and Wight coming from behind her. Isabela then gripped the Strigoi and tossed after them, leaving them destroyed. Isabela then saw the other Strigoi as she then flame-punched at the crystal heart, leaving it destroyed.
Karlamine and Siris slashed across in between the Malebranche and Attacus, cutting it in two with their swords. Both the Cie'th were destroyed before the Strigoi and Chonchon coming after them from left and right. Karlamine blocked Strigoi's attack while Siris counters the Chonchon with her Zweihander, slicing it in half while Karlamine used her speed ability to instantly back away and flash step past it and stop. Having been cut in the side, leaving Strigoi destroyed. Karlamine and Siris then speed through the group of Cie'th in a straight line, taking out many with their blades.
Rias and Akeno were having a hard time fighting against the Cerberus since the numbers of the Cie'th were decreasing rapidly as the Cerberus spews fire at Rias while Akeno used her ice magic to freeze the flame, leaving it shattered into pieces. Rias then used her power of destruction at the first Cerberus, leaving it knocked out while the second Cerberus charged after them, but Koneko jumped after them, delivered an axe-kick at the Cerberus while Kuroka and Akeno charged up their magic.
"I think he wants more!" Akeno shouts as she and Kuroka used their magic at Cerberus, leaving it knocked out which the Cerberus was angry.
Virgil, Dajh, Tosca, Kalawarner, and the former Phenex servants then joined them to fight against two Cerberus since the numbers of the Cie'th have died down.
"Geeze, how tough is this bitch!?" Issei exclaimed with frustration when he gets boosted. "Not yet, I don't have enough power built-up to transfer."
'Dammit! If only I was strong where I can enhance everyone in a split second!' Issei mentally cursed with frustration when he was seeing that they were fighting against two Cerberus.
Suddenly, the third Cerberus was about to attack from behind when Asia was about to scream with fear, but stopped herself since she remembered what Virgil have taught her as she put up her brave face before pulling out her survival knife. She then rushed towards it when Issei turned his head to her, shocked that Asia was about to get killed.
"ASIA, NO!" Issei yelled her name before the third Cerberus spews fire at Asia, but she manage to dodge.
However, Asia's small frame was a blessing in disguise as she then began to slice the Cerberus's left front leg and the back of the leg, leaving the Cerberus yelped in pain as she then began to use her magic.
"Blizzara: Ice Needles" Asia used her magic to fire off the ice needles at the Cerberus, leaving it scream in pain as Asia then conjure another magic.
"Blizzaga: Ice Geyser" Asia then placed her hands on the ground as the ice spike then impaled the third Cerberus, leaving it dead.
Issei was surprised to see that Asia was able to handle that Cerberus on her own, but the Chonchon and Wight then began to fly towards Asia from behind her. Asia noticed them from behind as she then readied her knife. Until, the two Cie'th were cut down with one strike and the ones who saved Asia was Cornelius and Griselda holding out their swords while Xenovia have already dealt the Attacus with her Holy Sword of Destruction.
"Cornelius, Griselda, Xenovia!" Asia exclaimed with shocked.
"We've come to back you up." Xenovia told her.
"We wanted to thank you for taking care of Irina." Cornelius said. "Tell us what you need and it will be done."
"Since the numbers of the Cie'th were died down, we need you three to help fight against the two Cerberus." Asia informed them. "Issei needs to power up enough to transfer it to them."
They gave her a nod as they then charge after the two Cerberus to give enough time for Issei to power up with his Boosted Gear. Virgil and Tosca then worked together by stabbing their eyes with their blades while Kalawarner used her Spear of Light to impale the Cerberus from the back. Cornelius, Griselda, and Xenovia then began to give them help by killing off the Cerberus with the Holy Swords, leaving the second Cerberus dead.
"Mom, Dad!" Virgil exclaimed with shock.
"Whoa, that's your parents!?" Dajh shouts with shock.
Until, Issei's power was fully powered up.
[It's the signal, we've reached the appropriate multiplier for fighting.]
"Seems kinda convenient to have that build in." Issei said.
[Let's chalk it up to you and the Sacred Treasure maturing what you want to be a reality and all that.]
"Cool. Head's up, ladies!" Issei called them as he then rushed after Rias, Akeno, and Yubelluna.
"Good boy!" Rias praised her pawn.
"Ooh~! Fun!" Akeno added with a smile.
"You wanted him to transfer power to me?" Yubelluna asked.
"We don't mind. The more the merrier." Rias nodded with a smile. Akeno looked at Yubelluna and gave her a nod. Yubelluna was a little taken back by this which they're actually accepting her and her friends as their allies. She then nodded back towards them before the three of them went towards Issei at the same time.
"Boosted Gear: Gift" Issei shouted when he rushed towards them and jumping up into the air, quickly touched their shoulder with his Sacred Gear.
[TRANSFER!]
An enormous amount of power went to Rias, Akeno, and Yubelluna through their bodies as Issei fell towards the ground. The three had a radiating green aura coming off their bodies, leaving them cry sexually since the amount of power was overflowing them.
"Nice work, I didn't realize you were strong enough to do that, Issei." Xenovia said without noticed that Strigoi was rushing right at her from the left.
Until, Kalawarner hurled her Spear of Light at the Strigoi, leaving Xenovia startled when the Fallen Angel impaled the Cie'th at the back.
"You should watch yourself." Kalawarner warned her with her serious expression.
After getting used to the level of power in their system, Rias, Akeno, and Yubelluna hovered with determined eyes. Their bodies were radiating with demonic-power transferred to them.
"We're ready now!" Rias said with a daring smile.
"Let's do it! Firaga: Meteor" Yubelluna then began to use her scepter to unleash her improved magic as the magic circle revealed from above the Cerberus, revealed the meteor descending down to Cerberus.
"BRING OUT THUNDER!" Akeno raised her hand, revealed her magic circle and summoned thunder.
Rias then used her power of destruction to fire at Cerberus with the combination of thunder and meteor, leaving the Cerberus dead.
However, the Malebranche was about to attack Asia as she readied her knife, but the countless swords pierced through the ground and stabbed it. Malebranche was destroyed and Kiba jumped in front of Asia. They were surprised, but smiled with relief to see that Kiba actually came.
"Kiba made it." Rias said with a smile.
"Kiba, you're here." Asia added with a smile.
With many of the Cie'th destroyed and the Cerberus were killed, they were clear from this fight as Kokabiel spoke.
"Well, that was a bit of a stretch." Kokabiel said, earned everyone's attention.
"Take this!" Rias yelled with a scowl when she used the power of destruction at Kokabiel which it was huge and it has high velocity as it went towards the Fallen Angel Co-Leader. However, Kokabiel blocked Rias' power with his only one hand, swatting away while sending towards the ground. When it hits the ground, it caused an explosion and left behind a huge crater in the ground.
"Impressive." Kokabiel said as he stood up from his throne. "Look how much stronger you've become now that you have a little Red Dragon Emperor inside you. Sexy and fascinating as well."
"It is complete!" Valper said with a smile.
Virgil and Issei then looked at the excommunicated priest with shock. The four Holy Swords that were placed on the center of the school field started giving out the incredible amount of light. It started giving out the divine light that spread throughout the area, forcing the group to cover their faces because of it's brightness. When Virgil stared at the school center with a scowl, he watched as four Holy Swords were merged into one Holy Sword.
"On no!" Kiba said in shock while Xenovia and Tosca gasped, and Cornelius and Griselda growled with anger.
Valper then laughed happily as his eyes gave him the look of a madman.
"Finally, it is done!" Valper exclaimed as the beam of light went all the way into the sky. Anyone with awareness to the supernatural world would've been able to see it.
When the bright light was gone, there was a merged Holy Sword in the center of the field, giving out the bright aura.
"Now I get to have the massive power result from the combination of the swords, that's our trade-off. Sweet deal, huh?" Kokabiel asked with a smirk.
"So that power is what you used to make the ground collapse?" Rias questioned with a glare.
Virgil and Issei then rush towards the excommunicated priest when they see the Holy Sword.
"Seriously!? Then what?" Issei exclaimed with shock.
"It means that Kokabiel will use the Holy Sword with his selfish gain by destroying this town." Virgil answered, causing Valper to laugh.
"I suggest you leave quickly, this whole area will be destroyed in less than 20 minutes." Valper warned them as Virgil then activates his anti-gravity device, rushed towards the Holy Sword with his blind speed. That got Valper, Kokabiel, Cornelius, Xenovia, and Griselda shocked when Virgil was able to run that fast only because of his anti-gravity device as he swiped the Holy Sword from him.
"How about I kill you in less than a second!" Virgil said with his dark tone.
Until, the Holy Sword then surround him with the aura while the crystal from his heart began to glow which Virgil was chosen to wield the Holy Sword.
"Impossible! How could he be able to wield the Holy Sword?" Valper shouts with shock.
"That's because the Holy Sword have chosen him because of his strong will and determination." Cornelius answered seriously. "You of all people should've known better when you used children for your own agenda, you old fool."
"Interesting. Not only that he was chosen by the Holy Sword, but he was the true descendant of Siegfried." Kokabiel said with a smirk. "No wonder he advanced quickly."
"How is it that you know our son?" Griselda asked with anger.
"When you placed him in the orphanage since you two have learned about the Sigurd Institution experimenting infants for the genes to create Siegfried, I was planning to adopt him and raise him as my own so he can fight by my side." Kokabiel answered. "Until she came along, the woman with a pink hair that was like a rose was able to adopt him instead. I would've have him and her so they could fight by me side."
That got Virgil really angry when Kokabiel mentioned about his adopted mother as the Fallen Angel turned to him.
"So Virgil Farron or should I say, Virgil Quarta? How about you join by my side and together, we can start a war and then destroy the entire world?" Kokabiel offered with a smirk.
However, both Kiba and Tosca walked towards Valper with hatred.
"Kiba?" Rias said with confusion.
"Valper Galilei." Kiba called his name calmly, but his eyes were filled with hatred. "I'm a survivor of the Holy Sword Project or more accurately of those you've tried to murder."
That got everyone's attention as they watched intensly. Valper was confused as Tosca then spoke.
"You're not the one who survived the Holy Sword Project." Tosca said as Kiba turned to her. "You may not recognize me, but my name is Tosca."
That got Kiba shocked when she mentioned her name.
"How?" Kiba asked.
"I have a Sacred Gear to from a barrier to prevent a poison gas to get to me." Tosca explains. "Virgil's parents have rescued me and took me in as their own. I was able to learn about my Sacred Gear and I was able to wield a sword since they've trained me."
That got Valper realized those two since he was finally able to recognize them.
"I have heard about you two. They said one of you have manage to escape." Valper said, laughing. "How tragic for to the two of you only to live as a lowly Devil and the other lived with two of the Brave Saints. I'm grateful to the two of you and the others, you taught what I needed to know to complete the project."
"Completed?" Kiba repeats with anger.
"What do you mean?" Tosca added with anger.
"The subjects we used didn't individually have enough of the particular gene required to use the Holy Swords." Valper told them with his heartless smile. "After I realize that fact, I came to a conclusion. So, all I did was take out the gene from the kids who carried any of it."
That got both Kiba and Tosca widened their eyes with shock when Valper revealed his true agenda.
"Then I found a way to combine and crystallize their genes." Valper said, revealed the crystal form his hand. "The crystal contains the correct quantity of the gene. It's the last one made from those pathetic little brats."
Freed revealed himself when was laughing like a lunatic.
"The other guys they tested to the crystals on died halfway in because they were too weak to take all the gene cooking." Freed told them with his crazed smile. "If you think about it that way, you're lucky that-AARRGH!?"
Dajh have heard enough when he shot Freed in the nether regions, causing Freed to collapse to down to his knees while holding his nether regions to prevent the bleeding, but the blood was already leaking.
"You Fucking Bastard!? You Shot Me In The Balls!" Freed yelled at him with anger as Dajh then kicked him with his boot.
"How about you shut up!" Dajh exclaimed with annoyance.
"I'm well aware of that crystal." Cornelius said with serious expression.
"That crystal was used to put inside of those who wield the Holy Swords when they received the blessing." Griselda added, leaving Xenovia gritted her teeth hatefully.
"A Gene Deficiency. That must be what they've been using them for." Xenovia said.
"Those hypocrites. After excommunicating me as a Pagan, they shamelessly use me research? Typical Church behavior. Of course we're talking about Michael, so even if he took genes from his subjects, I bet he didn't take the time to kill them." Valper said, laughing with amusement.
"There is no need to kill us, either!" Tosca yelled with anger. "You have taken our friends away from us for your own greed, you heartless bastard!"
"How could you?" Kiba questioned with anger.
"You two were nothing more than materials used in a top secret project." Valper answered without care. "We had what we needed. What were we suppose to do?"
"...We believed what we were doing was for God." Kiba said, shaking his hand with pure anger. "...We poured everything because of that fate...and then you...you just threw us away, like trash."
Rias, her peerage, former Phenex servants, Dajh, Kalawarner, and Virgil looked at Kiba and Tosca with sadness and sympathy.
Valper then threw the crystal with less amount of interest at the ground right next to Kiba.
"Here why don't you take this! I no longer need it, we've gotten to the point where we can mass produce higher quality crystals. No martyrs required." Valper said.
Kiba then picked up the crystal with sadness, remembered the incident at the Holy Sword Project since his friends have told him run as he then prayed to God.
"...God..." Kiba said with sadness, Tosca then looked at her friend with sadness.
"Valper Galilei! You'll pay for this!" Issei yelled at him with tears.
"You're not getting away with this!" Virgil said with pure anger. "You will die from where you stand!"
"How many?" Tosca asked with anger, earned Valper's attention as Kiba stood up with anger. "How many lives did your research caused?"
"How many deaths did it take?" Kiba added with a question.
With tears running down to their cheeks and their expression filled with sadness and anger as held it close to his chest, the crystal that Kiba held started giving out shallow lights. The lights started to spread and it eventually covered him and Tosca. Everyone looked at them with shock. Both Cornelius and Griselda looked at the light front of them as it came from the ground, staring at it as it started to form a shape. Then it formed into a proper shape before it took the shape and form into children that died years, leaving them gasp when they remembered those children they have buried before they take Tosca in.
Virgil looked around with amazement. All around Kiba and Tosca were their friends, there males and females who were giving out the blue light aura.
"What's happening?" Virgil questioned.
"It's the different powers from the battlefield combining." Akeno explained.
"Isaiah, the power from all of us from his trembling heart must've free the souls from the crystal." Cornelius added, looking at the two survivors of the Holy Sword Project.
"...I prayed...and wondered...why were we the only ones? Why us?" Kiba questioned himself with sadness.
"...It wasn't fair for us who have survived...They were only children that have some much dreams than the both of us..." Tosca added with sadness.
"...Kids who wanted to live more than we do...It was a mistake...Someone better than us should've made it out of that nightmare..." Kiba added, but gasped when the two saw the souls of their friends with shock. The female spirit tugged Kiba's sleeve while male spirit tugged Tosca's sleeve earned their attention. Both of the spirits smiled at them. Suddenly, the spirits then began to surround the two as the spirits spoke to them.
"It's okay."
"Let's all gather together."
"Take us in."
"It's time."
"You don't have to be scared. Even if there is no God."
"Though God may not be watching over us."
"Our hearts will forever be one."
Kiba and Tosca were in tears since they have seen their friends as they smiled.
"Yes." Kiba and Tosca said in unison.
Cornelius and Griselda were smiling at what they have seen. They then closed their eyes and put their hands together for prayer.
"Be at peace children."
The spirits went up into the Heaven and the light have bestowed upon Kiba and Tosca.
Rias and Akeno smiled with a mixture of happiness and sadness. Koneko and Kuroka thought it was the sweetest thing they saw. Asia had her hands together with a prayer, smiled with tears in her eyes. Kalawarner smiled with tears, seeing something that no one have ever done. Yubelluna looked up to the spirits and smiled, wiping a tear away from her finger. Xuelan, Karlamine, Siris, Isabela, Ni, and Li waved farewell to the spirits while crying, glad that they found peace. Dajh just covered his mouth to prevent his sobs from coming out. Virgil also had tears running down to his cheeks as he watched with a smile.
"I just couldn't stop crying! Dammit Kiba! You're breaking my heart!" Issei said with sadness, wiping his tears.
[The Knight has peaked.]
That got Issei's attention as Ddraig spoke. The light then began to give blessings to Kiba and Tosca.
[It happens when the thoughts and wishes of the user oppose nature. When they go against the natural course of things from this world, the Sacred Treasure peaks. Or is it also as known as 'Balance Breaker'.]
"Oh." Kokabiel said with interest.
After the light have vanished, both Kiba and Tosca have opened their eyes and scowled at Valper, leaving him panicked.
"Our comrades...They never wanted me to wish for revenge." Kiba said as he and Tosca walk towards him. "They wanted me free, but I'm not."
"I've got a second chance to live freely since they never wanted me to have revenge." Tosca added. "I prayed for my friends everyday and they wanted me a chance to live, but I'm not."
"First, we need to destroy evil in front of us." Kiba said. "Then no one else will have to suffer."
Valper was about to call Freed, but he noticed that Freed was still suffering from his nether regions being shot which Valper was on his own, scared for his life. Tosca then used her Sacred Gear to form a wall from behind him.
"My Sacred Gear was called Time Kaleidoscope. It allows me to form a barrier for defense." Tosca explains. "I've been practicing with my Sacred Gear in order to use it properly."
Kiba nods with an understanding as he then used his magic circle to summon his sword.
"No one but you." Kiba said when he grabbed his sword. "It's time for my new sword. Dear comrades who souls have merged with mine. We shall overcome this together, all of our dreams that were stifled can now come true. I'll create a sword for Rias and for all of my fallen friends! Sword Birth!"
When Kiba pointed his demonic sword to the sky, two of the both demonic and holy powers were mixed together before they aligned and formed into a new sword. When it appeared in Kiba's hand, the sword was double-edged that was aligned with a mixture of holy and demonic powers.
"It's called the Sword of Betrayer. A sword vested with holy and devil powers. Try and stop me!" Kiba exclaimed, ready to fight.
"Holy and Devil power fused together!" Rias said when she looked at Kiba with astonishment.
"Now it make sense." Issei when he realized of Kiba's Balance Breaker. "I get Ddraig was talking about, he said Kiba had peaked. So that must be Kiba's prohibited technique. That sword is his Balance Breaker."
"A holy-devil sword? That's impossible! Two opposing elements cannot mix together, something like that was aberration!" Valper said, tried to fathom of Kiba's creation.
However, Cornelius, Griselda, and Xenovia have joined Kiba's side as they looked at Valper with a scowl.
"Tell me boy." Cornelius said, not taking his eyes off Valper. "Are we still fighting on the same side?"
"I like to think we are." Kiba answered as he turned to Virgil. "Virgil, since your were chose by the Holy Swords, I won't fight you since I considered you as my friend."
Virgil nods with a smile as he turned to Kokabiel with scowl.
"Kokabiel, I refuse your offer." Virgil told him. "Not only that you were planning to start a second war, but you have insulted my adopted mother. I will kill you right where you stand!"
Kokabiel scowled at Virgil which he didn't like his answer as he then stood up from his throne, extending his black wings while the throne have disappeared.
"Virgil." Kiba said with shock.
"Don't worry Isaiah, my son was able to wield his own weapon, but the Holy Sword was in good hands." Cornelius told him with assurance. "Xenovia, it's time to bring out your sword."
With that, Xenovia then began to unleashed her own sword when she stab the Holy Sword of Destruction to the ground.
"O Peter, O Basil, and Denis, and the blessed Virgin Mary. I ask you to please hear my prayers." Xenovia chants.
The magic circle appeared at her right side when she extended her hand and sword revealed itself. The sword is a large unique-shaped broadsword with a blue blade and a golden edge. It has a semi-circular guard on the left side on the handle that extends to the bottom just above the pommel with a small extension on the right side of the handle. Chains were bonded to the sword that was tying into the circle.
"I the name of the saint living within this blade. I hereby set you free."
With her hand on the handle, the chains were broken and the sword was free.
"This is called Durandal!" Xenovia said when she hold her sword.
This shocked everyone, even Kiba, Tosca, and Virgil who looked at her with wide eyes. Karalmine stared at the sword with amazement.
"A sword that was on par with Excalibur. It is said that Durandal can cut everything in this world." Karlamine explains.
"Did not see that one coming!" Dajh said with shock.
"That's impossible! My research didn't go into how to use Durandal, no one should be able to wield that thing!?" Valper said with astonishment and fear.
"You're wrong, unlike Kiba or Irina, I'm one of the rarely found naturals." Xenovia told him with a smirk.
"The one who is perfectly suitable also known as the True Holy-Sword User!" Valper exclaimed, trembling.
"I don't understand, why didn't you use from the beginning?" Virgil questions.
"This kiddo cuts anything he touches to pieces. He doesn't listen to me, either." Xenovia explains. "Besides that, he's infinitely dangerous if not stored into another dimension."
Virgil then began to understand why Durandal was stored into another dimension since the blade didn't listen to her.
"Virgil!" Kokabiel called his name, earned his attention. "Since you've declined my offer, I have no choice but to kill you."
Kokabiel then descends down to the ground, but they heard Valper began to laugh with his crazed smile.
"Yes, I understand now as the balance between holy and devil powers were disrupted, it could be possible." Valper said. "Which means not only the Devil King, but God-"
Valper was about to finish his sentence when Kokabiel have pierced him with his Spear of Light, leaving them shocked. Valper's body was limp after losing the amount of blood which he is now dead.
"Oh Valper." Kokabiel said with a sneer, bring the attention to them. "You really were very talented. Unfortunately, you weren't suppose to figure that part out."
"Okay Kokabiel. What are you trying to do here?" Rias asked, demands an explanation.
"I'm destroying everything I find tedious." Kokabiel replied. "Now I'm even more bored th-"
Virgil then shot him in the face which his face was grazed by a bullet, leaving Kokabiel shocked.
"You shouldn't turn your back on your opponent." Virgil told him with a scowl. "I'm your opponent."
"But Virgil!"
"Stay out of this, Issei!" Virgil warned him. "This is between him and me."
Issei didn't like his idea, but he understands as Virgil readied his fighting stance.
"You're making a mistake boy. I would've have you by my side and we can start a war together." Kokabiel growled.
"I'd rather have peace than go start pointless war." Virgil told him. "A warmonger don't deserve to live in this world."
That's it for the 20th chapter. Sorry about the delay. Like I said, if you have an idea of which Eidolon for Virgil, let me know and I'll take a look.
