Kouh Acadey, Occult Research Club Room

At the old school building, Gasper was sitting on a cardboard box playing his game while Koneko then look at the door with a scowl on her face, knew that something is wrong as she stood up from the sofa. Gasper saw this and looked at her.

"Koneko?" Gasper asks.

"Don't move a muscle, Gaspy." Koneko told him without looking at him.

There was then an explosion that destroyed the doors in the clubroom. Coming through the doorway were a group of women floating on magic circles. They're all wearing robes with unusual hoods wit three eyes on them.

"Humans?" Koneko said with confusion.

"Yes that's right." The female magician admits. "We are indeed human, but we're somewhat different and that we utilize magic by re-building the structure of Devil magic. We're known as magicians."

Koneko was standing in front of them without any hesitation as one of the magicians spoke.

"If it helps you understand a bit better, we're on the same level as what you Devils called 'Mid-Ranking Devils'." One of the female magician stated with a smirk. "It would be best if you did what you were told. Hand the Half-Vampire over to us."

Koneko refuse to give Gasper over to the magicians since she can hear him whimper with fear from the inside of the box.

"We've already confirmed that he's here." One of the female magicians said as they then fire the beams at Koneko which she manage to dodge, but the structure of the old school building was damaged.

Koneko then ran off while carrying Gasper with her since she manage to get away from them as she then stops when she noticed there were more magicians. Gasper then opens the box when he also noticed that there were more magicians from the outside of the buildings which there's no way to get out.

"What's going on out here?" Gasper questions with fright.

"There's no where for you to run." The female magician said when more magicians arrives to surround the two. "Nowhere at all."

With that, Koneko then tossed Gasper as the magicians then fires the beam at Koneko which she manage to dodge and jumped down at the stairway, caught Gasper in a split second as she then jumps down before the magicians fire the beams at her. Koneko then get inside of Gasper's room when the magicians manage to catch up to her, firing the beams at the door, but the magic circle have manage to prevent those attacks.

"There's magic on the door." One of the female magicians told them.

"I did think there is something strange about this room when we first infiltrated, I was right." The other female magician said.

"I'm assuming they must be hiding in there now." The third female magician added while the fourth one then smirked.

While in Gasper's room, Koneko have placed him on the floor as he then opens the cardboard box with scared expression on his face.

"We should be able to stall here for at least a little while." Koneko told him.

Gasper then whimpers, shedding tears as Koneko then kneels down, petting his head.

"Don't worry." Koneko assures him. "I'm sure Rias and the others will come to save you."

"Yeah, I'm sure they will." Gasper agrees when he looked at her, earned a nod from her.

Until, the female magician then fires the beam at Koneko from behind, causing her to try and protect him, but she fire more beams at her as she then collapse down, leaving Gasper react with horror.

"I've been waiting for you." The female magician said with her evil laugh.

With that, the magicians then began to use their magic to restrain both Koneko and Gasper.

"That Magic Square will render all physical powers one possess useless. There's no use struggling." One of the female magicians informed the two.

"Please you have to stop!" Gasper pleads. "What are even trying to do?"

Gasper was trying to struggle his way out, but the Magic Square prevents him to leave since it won't work as the magicians then use their magic to force Gasper to use his Fobdden Balor View to stop the peaceful summit.


Kuoh Academy

Meanwhile, the meeting was starting to get hectic since Azazel was bit brazen about the meeting, wanted peace and get it over while Sirzechs and Serafall were displeased of the Governor-General of the Fallen Angels behavior along with Michael and Gabriel. Lightning was about to blow fuse because of Azazel being a bit carefree which she really wants him to take the meeting seriously which the cause the meeting on stalemate.

"Our perpetual four-way stalemate is getting rather and hardly doing this war any favors." Azazel said with a smirk. "I assume we're all in agreement on that?"

Lightning was about to speak to the Governor-General of the Fallen Angels, but Snow and Virgil placed their hands on her shoulders, telling her to calm down since they know that she's got quite a temper as Michael then spoke.

"God and the Devil King are gone." Michael said to everyone, wanting to advocate for peace. Even though, hearing them saying that since Asia knew about the truth made her depressed. "Both of our war generals have been annihilated."

Virgil and Issei knew that Asia was depressed to hear about God's death again along with Tosca and Xenovia, he looked at Irina. Her faith in God was stronger than ever, but she now found the truth about his death which it lead her to depression. Xenovia could imagine how her former friend felt since she found out the truth.

"We have a complication." Azazel said. "Once again, it's not even our three powers, but these forces are equally if not more destructive. They are the Red and White Dragon Emperor's. Also, we have our promising ally who is the representative for Gran Pulse, the white-haired l'Cie, Virgil Farron. So, I'd like to hear their thoughts."

"What I want is to fight someone who's as strong as me." Vali told him in an egotistical manner.

"Yes, but you can still find a lot of powerful opponents without having a war." Azazel told him with a chuckle.

"I suppose." Vali shrugs simply.

"And you, Red Dragon Emperor?" Azazel called him when he turned his to Issei, earned his attention. "Thoughts?"

"I uh, um, wow...Yeah, I'm not good at coming up with stuff on the spot." Issei said nervously.

"I see." Azazel said, closed his eyes. "Well then, why don't I make it a little easier for you, Issei? Try to focus here! If we start fighting again, you'll never be able to have your way with Rias Gremory."

That got both Issei and Rias gasped with shock. Virgil shook his head with annoyance since he knew what's going on along with Kalawarner and Mittelt.

"But, if we make peace instead, then prosperity and propagation become far more important." Azazel told him with a smirk.

"You mean like, baby-making?" Issei asks with a blush and perverted grin.

"That's right." Azazel nods, placing his hand under his face. "Imagine those training sessions and you can practice every single day."

"Hey, I'm right here!" Rias shouts with embarrassing blush, causing Grayfia and Lightning to sigh while Virgil face-palmed.

"Peace means a daily dose of Rias loving." Azazel said. "War means no sexy time. You understand? Is that simple enough for you?"

Issei's eyes then widened with gasp and reacts with shock when he began to fantasize about Rias being naked and to have some sexy time.

'If there's peace between us, I can actually can get my dirty-dirty freak-freak on with Rias? Can my dreams really come true? Wait, am I in the position to make that happen, even if I'm not, at with no fighting there'd be a chance.' Issei mentally thought with his perverted smile, regain his composure as he spoke.

"Peace is number 1!" Issei exclaimed, pumping his fist. "Yeah, peace for me please!? I'm gonna do it with Rias so hard!?"

That got everyone's attention since most of them looked at him with deadpanned expression while Akeno smiles, Kiba then closed his eyes with a smile, and Rias then blushed with embarrassment.

"Hey Issei, you might want to notice her brother is still present." Kiba told him, leaving Issei's mouth agape with shock when he realized that Sirzechs is still hear which he overheard as he laughed.

"Both of you are nightmares." Rias said with a sigh.

"Way to open your mouth." Virgil added with deadpan expression.

"She likes it." Akeno said with a giggle.

'Maybe I should stop talking out loud all together!?' Issei mentally shout as he then clears his throat. "So anyway, bottom line is dude, I'm not gonna use my powers unless I'm helping Rias and my friends. That's just the way it is."

Rias then smiled at him. Azazel then turned to Virgil.

"Well Virgil, any thoughts?" Azazel asks.

"Peace." Virgil answered simply. "There's no way I'd ever vote war. It'll ruined the lives of innocent people."

"Well, it seems we're all in agreement." Azazel announced jovially.

"One moment." Michael interrupted gently as he then turned to him. "There are a few things I wish to ask. Virgil Farron, if you don't mind me asking, would you mind inform us of what you are? It is earlier that your parents have told us that you're a l'Cie which it is something that I never heard of."

Virgil then sighed as he spoke.

"As you may or may not know, I've been placed at the orphanage when I was a baby since 17 years ago. Until she came into my life." Virgil explains. "I was adopted, left Earth, and lived in Gran Pulse with her, Aunt Serah, Nora, and Uncle Snow. I've been in training when mom gave me the crystal piece and placed it in my heart when I five years old since I've became a l'Cie. I've earned it for training and hardships."

"Yes, we've seen you fight during the Rating Game and we noticed of your magic since Lightning told us about it. Could you care to tell us of the one you've summoned since the fight against Kokabiel a few days ago?" Sirzechs inquired.

"It's an Eidolon named Twilight Odin." Virgil answered. "An Eidolon's were the guardians that were created by Etro and they only revealed themselves to only a selected few of l'Cie. They only come to them whenever they were bound to a Focus against their will. Also, a l'Cie were chosen pitted against the Eidolon in a trial of combat. Those who emerge victorious receive a crystal called 'Eidolith' which they can only be use to summon during battles."

"While we're at it, could you tell us about Etro?" Azazel asked.

"I'm sorry, but all I can tell you was that Etro is a goddess of death and chaos." Virgil told him. "I wish I can tell you, but I only know little about her."

The faction leaders and the others in their present, except Vali, became a bit troubled about the name of Etro which they need to know more about the goddess. Michael then gave him a nod with an understanding since neither of them knew who is Etro, but Fang told them that they've got the Fabula Nova Crystallis book in Gran Pulse which they might look into it and learn more about Etro as the archangel then turned to Issei.

"Red Dragon Emperor. Did you still have a question you wanted to ask me?" Michael questions.

"I do. Although I didn't figure you remember that." Issei said.

"I made a promise." Michael told him, leaving Issei sighed.

"Issei." Fang called him, earned his attention. "Before you go and say a word, choose those words carefully."

Issei gave her a nod as he turned to Michael and spoke.

"Alright, you weren't fair to Asia and Xenovia." Issei stated seriously, causing Asia and Xenovia to look at him with astonished expression. "I want to know why you kicked them out of the Church? They love God more to anyone."

"Issei, stop." Rias assured him.

"I have to agree on what Issei have said." Virgil added, scowling at him. "Even now as a Devil and even if they learned the truth, both Asia and Xenovia still holds faith in God. Why you'd consider them kicked out?"

"After God was destroyed, only the System remained." Michael explained. "The only thing we had to keep the faith was our power to administer divine protection, mercy, and miracles. Even with me as a center, the Church is barely functioning right now. Consequently, there was a need to avoid anything that can negatively affect our system."

"So basically, Asia and Xenovia were loose ends." Virgil implies, trying not to let his emotions get the better of him. "Even though, her Twilight Healing allows her to heal Devils, Fallen Angels, even humans. And because of her pure heart, she'd be willing to do it."

"Indeed, the faith of believers is the reason those of us in Heaven exist." Michael told him. "A threat to the system is a threat to our survival. Therefore, anything that can negatively affect it had to be removed."

"Of course, that's why I suffered Asia's fate too." Xenovia interrupts as she then walked forward. "Along with others who found out the truth."

"Exactly." Michael agrees, causing Irina to stare at Xenovia with shock, widen her eyes. "It was unfair. You were hardly heretics, we should've discovered another way. I ask your forgiveness."

'Then she didn't betray us?' Irina mentally questions with a gasp.

"Apology accepted, Chief Michael." Xenovia said to him. "It's interesting, I grew up in the Church so I must admit. I do have a few regrets. But to be perfectly honest, I'm more than satisfied with my life as a Devil."

The Devils of her group smiled, glad that she's happy. Tosca was glad to hear that her friend lived a good life as a Devil. Virgil gave them a nod with a smile while both Cornelius and Griselda smiled with pleased and relief expression for Xenovia. She then glanced at Irina.

"I am sad though. For the other believers." Xenovia said with sad expression. Asia then walked right next to her.

"As am I." Asia said with her hands together. "And I'm so much happier as a Devil too. I've met people I also cherish who also care about me."

With Xenovia's and Asia's words, Michael then showed his expression of relief.

"Both of you have forgiving spirits, and I am grateful for that." Michael told the two.

"Oh right, I've heard of her." Azazel said with a smirk, ruined the moment as Issei and Virgil then looked at him with a scowl. "Wasn't one of my underlings was responsible for trying to kill you?"

Just the mention of Raynare's action made Asia tremble a bit while Virgil then gritted his teeth with anger. Kalawarner and Mittelt then scowled with disgust, but feel a bit guilty for taking part of her actions.

"Yeah and you should be apologizing!" Issei snapped at him, everything what that Fallen Angel did was enough to get him riled up. "You want to know why that Fallen Angel bitch killed her!? Because she wanted to be like you, you stupid asshole!?"

Azazel then looked at him with his serious expression on his face, causing Issei to gasp but kept his scowl.

"Naturally, I take full responsibility." Azazel stated. "So to atone, I will satisfy you in a way that only I can."

Rias then walk towards him, placed her hand on his shoulder while told him to calm down. Until, Vali sensed some strong magic along with Issei, Xenovia, Kiba, and Virgil. That's when they felt the same sensation when they received Gasper's time stop ability. However, that feeling went away when Issei and Rias then noticed that he had his Boosted Gear summoned and the green jewel was glowing.

The interior of the conference room had changed and now being covered with purple aura. It turned out that Sona and Tsubaki were frozen in time, along with Tosca, Akeno, Mittelt, Kalawarner, Kuroka, and Asia. Surprising, Kiba and Xenovia weren't since they had their Sword of Betrayer and Durandal which both of them were glowing.

Then there were Leaders of the Three Factions were remained unaffected by the time stop along with Irina, Cornelius, and Griselda since they also have their blades out and glowed. Lightning, Snow, Sazh, Fang, Hope, Vanille, Dajh, and Virgil weren't affected by the time magic because their crystals were glowing, protecting them from Gasper's time ability. Even Vali was unaffected by the effects.

"Their frozen." Kiba stated which it's obvious.

"Is it just me or time stop?" Issei asks with confusion.

"Afraid so, Issei." Virgil answered seriously. "This must be Gasper's time ability."

"It appears so." Azazel agrees. "Fortunately, those of us with superior powers weren't affected."

"Thank our dragons, they protected us." Vali told him, looking confidant when he leaned against the wall as he then looked at the two. "The Heavenly bunch over there were shielded by their Holy Swords."

"What? I don't understand." Irina said as she look at Xenovia, but turned away.

"Me either, why are the others were frozen stiff?" Snow questions.

"It looks like they weren't strong enough to withstand the time magic." Hope answered. "Though, this magic is high-leveled."

"Looks like someone weren't trying to make this easy for any of us." Fang said with her serious expression.

"I'm okay thanks to you, Issei." Rias said softly. "You did it again."

Which means that if she hadn't touched him, she'd be frozen. Suddenly, they heard a loud explosion that came from the outside, causing everyone ran towards the window to see what has happening. Much to their shock, there were an army of magicians had arrived in the school yard from the air, exiting the magic circle while stood on the smaller magic circle to stand on. They were starting to fire the school, but the magic circles appeared to act as shields to prevent the damage at the school building.

"Who were those freaks?" Issei asks.

"They're magicians." Serafall answered with an upset look. "They're so rude, I'm the real life Magic Girl and they're flat out ignoring me!"

"They're not here for your autograph." Virgil and Lightning told her, bonked her head.

"But, what is this power?" Michael asked.

"It's the Half-Vampire boy." Azazel stated seriously. "He must've been coerced into creating Balance Breaker conditions for them."

"You mean Gasper?" Issei questions with shock.

"He has the power to stop time." Sirzechs explains with a scowl. "I think it safe to say yes. It is him, Gasper is fallen into the enemy hands."

Kiba was shocked of hearing that Gasper was captured and Koneko was defeated by magicians. Rias then looked at the window with a glare.

"Terrorist magicians dared to kidnap a member of my Household!? They will pay for this disrespect!" Rias said.

"Um Rias, I think we've got bigger problems." Snow told her.

He was right when they saw magic beams firing that were going through the entire army of Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils. Each time a frozen soldier was hit, they disappeared into particles.

"Looks like Lady Bad Luck was on our side." Sazh stated.

"They're thinning our positions." Cornelius stated, observing the battlefield. "They were using the teleportation magic. That means that someone is connected to the Gate within this barrier."

"And unfortunately, our magical transport troops are completely sealed off from us." Grayfia added.

"So we've been cornered?" Azazel questions.

"Yes, their timing along with their use of Lady Gremory's Bishop could not have been more perfect." Michael commented.

"We've been betrayed." Irina said with disbelief as she then look at Xenovia. Remembered she believed that she was a traitor, Irina then look away with guilt.

"More likely, they manage to infiltrate without having us noticed." Fang pointed out. "Whoever told them about the meeting, might've tried to prevent us for making peace."

"It would seem so." Sirzechs agrees. "However, I recommend we take action soon. If they've somehow found a way to make Gasper even stronger, none of us will survive."

That got Virgil and Issei surprised and confused about Gasper's power.

"No one is strong enough to beat him? How could Gasper have that much power?" Issei questions.

"Because he's a Mutation Piece." Kiba told him, getting Issei and Virgil's attention.

"Mutation Piece, the heck is that?" Virgil asks, raising his eyebrow.

"It's something that causes many strange phenomena." Rias explains. "The Bishop I used to turn Gasper into a Devil should have required several of my chess pieces. However, only one ended up being used. It was a Mutation Piece."

"I guess that means he's pretty awesome?" Issei inquired.

"Awesome in that potential is utterly incalculable." Rias answered. "That's the reason he was sealed away."

When then the magicians continued to shoot at the shields, one of them was destroyed since they started hitting the open area of the school building.

"If we don't do something about this Half-Vampire kid now, it'll be far too dangerous to fight back." Azazel said with his fearless smile.

"Sirzechs." Rias called her brother when she turned to him. "I have an unused Rook in storage where my household usually used meetings."

"A Rook?" Sirzechs asked. "Castling could work."

"What's Castling?" Issei asks with confusion.

"It's a special rule in chess where you can switch the places of the King and the Rook in one move." Kiba told him.

"But, I'd rather not send you in alone." Sirzechs told his sister.

"Gasper is a member of my Household. I take responsibility for him, I'll steal him back." Rias proposed with her serious expression. Grayfia then walked up behind her husband.

"I'd recommend using some of Sirzechs' power, then another person will be able to escape with you." Grayfia said.

"Then I want to be that person." Issei said with determination, earned their attention. "I promise to protect her!"

Rias gasped with shock then look at him with a smile.

"You can go with her." Sirzechs said, leaving Issei thanked him.

"Wouldn't be easier to go ahead and take out the Half-Vampire with the terrorists?" Vali suggests with a smirk. "If you'd like, I can just do it for you."

"You such a dick!" Issei cursed with a scowl.

"Hey, that's not nice of you to say that." Vanille scolds him. "Gasper is a friend and you're not killing him. Got it, mister?"

"Vali try to be a little more considerate, okay?" Azazel told him. "After all, we're trying to make peace here."

"Sorry, it's hard for me to do nothing like this." Vali apologized with a shrug.

"Fair enough." Azazel said with a chuckle. "Then why don't you go welcome those magicians? Upset their rank some, seeing the White Dragon Emperor should help."

"We'll join the fight." Lightning told him seriously. "We can stall them enough time until Rias and Issei get Gasper back."

That got the Leaders attention when they looked at her since she wanted to fight against the magicians as Gabriel then began to look at Virgil with worry. Of course she's a bit worried about her Godson and wanted to protect him, but she knew that he can fight. Serafall didn't like Gabriel staring at him very much.

"Virgil, are you really going to fight the magicians?" Gabriel asks. "The reason why I'm asking is because I'm worried and I don't anything happen to you."

That got Virgil off-guard since he was never asked before. Of course, his first mother was caring and strong while his second mother was also caring, strong, and strict, but now his godmother was caring and worried about his well-being as he then spoke.

"I have to since this situation is bad enough as it is." Virgil answered seriously. "It's not the first time I have to fight."

"He can take care of himself." Snow added. "Besides, our Mini-Man have done this before. It's not his first fight in Gran Pulse or Earth."

Gabriel knew that Snow is right along with the others since Rias and her Peerage saw him fight along with the others as she spoke.

"Alright, but please be careful." Gabriel said.

"No promises." Virgil told her as he then walked next to Lightning.

"You ready?" Lightning asks, readied her gunblade.

"As always." Virgil answers, readied his sword and shield.

Vali then sprouts his wings as he then ascended into the sky while Virgil, Dajh, and the Six Heroes of Gran Pulse then landed down towards the ground, charging after the magicians. It caught their attention when they noticed Vali was right at the center of the action when he then stopped.

"Here we go-BALANCE BREAK!"

[Vanishing Dragon BALANCE BREAKER]

After that sound, Vali's body was then fully covered in white dragonic armor while Virgil and the others then began to unleash their Paradigm Shift abilities: Hope uses ravager, Vanille uses synergist, Virgil uses ravager, Lightning uses commando, Dajh uses ravager, Sazh uses synergist, Fang uses commando, and Snow uses commando.

"He pulled that off fast." Issei said with shock, looking at his Boosted Gear. "If I tried it, it would cost me my arm. Even then, I can only hold it in 10 seconds."

The magicians then began to fire at Vali and the others, but they couldn't lay a scratch on Vali because he used his barrier magic while Virgil and the others have scattered thanks to both Vanille and Sazh's 'Vigilance' and 'Haste' magic to support them as they then use the Paradigm to switch in synergist to Vanille's ravager and Sazh's commando. Vali then began to use lightning magic to annihilate the magicians in the sky while Hope uses 'Flamestrike' to throw his Airwing at the magicians while Dajh then uses 'Flamestrike' to fire flame bullets at the magicians. Lightning, Snow, and Fang then charge after the magicians to kill them one-by-one while Vanille began to use 'Thundaga' magic to fire at the magicians and to give them support.

"Thundaga: Lightning Howl" Virgil and Hope then combined their lightning magic to annihilate the number of magicians.

It cause the huge number of magicians to disappear, but the magicians just keep on coming from the magic circle since this fight is going to be chaotic.

"I get that Virgil's strong, but not that strong." Issei said with shock. "These guys are no slouches either, it's no wonder they're known as the Six Heroes in Gran Pulse. Vali is strong, like stupid strong."

"True, but Vali's power also feels dangerous to me." Xenovia told him which Kiba was also speechless when he witnessed his power.

"Don't worry." Issei told her with a smile, earned her attention. "We're gonna get Gasper back safe I swear it."

Rias give her a nod since she and Issei wanted to get him back which it's not gonna be easy, but they know that Virgil and the others are doing what they can to buy them time to get the Dhampir as Azazel spoke.

"Uh, first things first." Azazel said with a smirk, earned their attention as he then give those bracelet to him. "Take these with you. You should be able to use that bracelet's compensation instead of your arm."

"Are you serious?" Issei questions. "Thanks. That means I can become a Balance Breaker."

"Only as a last resort." Azazel told him. "It can't regulate how fast your strength has used."

"Which would suck." Issei said, looking at the bracelets. "I don't want to go through that again."

"Put the other one on the Half-Vampire." Azazel told him. "It can bring him back under control. Now pay attention about what I have to say, luck is the only reason you've survived. You're barely a Devil and that's a compliment to your strength. Keep refusing to accept others help and you'd be dead. You yourself are the weakest point of the Sacred Gear."

Issei couldn't help but groaned since he knew that he's right as Rias then began to use her teleportation magic circle as Sirzechs spoke.

"I'm leaving Rias in your hands, understood?" Sirzechs questions seriously, earned a nod from Issei as the two then began to teleport towards the Occult Research Club Room, leaving the Rook piece down to the floor.


Kuoh Academy, Occult Research Club Room

When Issei and Rias have teleported to the Occult Research Club which they're in Rias' office as they began to look for him.

"Gasper, Koneko!?" Issei shouted their names, but no avail.

"Let's try looking at a different room." Rias suggested seriously.

"Right." Issei agrees as he then looked at the bracelets, remembered those words what Azazel have told him which he knows that the Governor-General of the Fallen Angels was right about him being the weakest, much to him being upset.

'Like I don't already know that.' Issei mentally thought as he then placed the bracelet on his arm.

With that, Issei and Rias then began to head towards Gasper's room to find the two.


Kuoh Academy, Conference Room

Meanwhile, Sirzechs then picked up Rias' Rook piece while staring at the outside of school as he then spoke.

"It won't be long now." Sirzechs said. "As soon as Gasper is rescued by Rias and Issei, we can begin our counterattack."

"We have a visitor." Grayfia told her husband as they then look at the magic circle which it was orange.

"I know this magic, but how?" Sirzechs questioned with shock as the figure appears.

She was a tall bespectacled woman with a voluptuous figure, tanned skin, long brown hair tied into a bun with a headset, and blue-grey eyes. She wore an extremely low-cut dress and it had a high slit which exposed a large portions of her breasts.

"Well if it isn't the unworthy Devil Kings Mr. Zechs and Little Miss Serafall." She mocks with a smirk.

"Explain yourself, what are you doing here?" Serafall questions seriously.

"Cattleya Leviathan." Sirzechs said with serious expression. "Descendent of the First Leviathan."

"I'm here to bring destruction and chaos." Cattelya told them as she then raise her staff to unleash her magic.


Kuoh Academy, Occult Research Club Room

When Issei and Rias then heard the sound of an explosion, it was coming from the school grounds.

"That's where everyone's trapped." Issei said, looking at the window when they saw the explosion.

"My brother." Rias said with worry.

However, they don't have time since they still need to find Gasper and Koneko as they began to search.


Kuoh Academy, School Grounds

Virgil and the others heard the explosion that was coming from the school when the smoke clears, it was revealed that Sirzechs, Azazel, and Michael had worked together to survive by forming a barrier with all the frozen people together. However, Cattelya find this amusing as she spoke.

"Adorable, the Three Great Powers put up a defensive barrier together." Cattleya said, laughing with a mockery. "Adorable and pathetic."

"What are you thinking, Cattleya?" Sirzechs demanded, glaring at her.

"What I'm thinking is the complete opposite of everyone at this disgusting meeting." Cattelya answered, smirking egotistically. "If God and the Devil King aren't around anymore, then there should be a revolution in this world!"

"Cattleya, stop this right now!?" Serafall yelled at her, causing her to glare with hatred. "What are you trying to do?"

"Serafall, you stole my Leviathan title and now question me! How dare you!" Cattleya said.

"Cattleya." Serafall said with a scowl as they landed on the ground.

"Oh don't worry, darling. Once I kill you today, I'll simply take back the name of the Devil King Leviathan for myself." Cattleya told her with mockery.

"Of course, I suppose its too much to hope for just caught up in the Devils coup d'état." Azazel stated with a smirk.

"I think it's more than that." Michael pointed out. "Her plan is most likely to take over the whole world."

"Oh, Michael nailed it." Cattleya said, holding her staff. "No one wants the world where God and the Devil King's death are covered up. So since you've clearly failed, we will take this decaying realm and reform for ourselves instead."

Azazel then burst with laughter which he finds it funny as Cattleya then looked at him.

"Azazel, what do you find so amusing?" Cattleya questions with a glare.

After a good laugh, Azazel then show his wicked smile.

"Decaying? Reform? How cliché." Azazel stated. "Come on, you have to know the first villains to die always say crap like."

Cattleya however didn't take that very well which she won't let it slide and grown enraged.

"I'll teach you to mock me." Cattleya hissed as her body becoming cloaked with an intense and powerful Devil aura.

"Oh, you will, will you? Sounds like fun." Azazel said as his body becoming cloaked with his powerful Fallen Angel aura while walking towards her.

"Cattleya, you have no intention of backing down?" Sirzechs inquired, given her one final warning.

"Not at all, Sirzechs." Cattleya responded confidentially, adjusting her outfit to cover her breasts better which made them jiggle. "Don't get me wrong, you were a good Devil King, but you won't have that or any other title much longer, unfortunately."

"Doubtful. Shall we then?" Sirzechs asked the others before the barrier was deployed to protect them.

Azazel unfolded his twelve black wings before he and Cattleya ascended to the sky. Once at a high altitude, the two of them face each other from meters away.

"A Descendent of the Former Devil King Leviathan. A monster nearing her end, not a bad opponent." Azazel said with a smirk. "I think I'll treat myself to some Armageddon."

"Surprise, you don't scare me." Cattleya said with a glare.

And with that, the two powerful beings began fighting.

Rias then felt a powerful magic that coming from the school grounds as she and Issei then look at the window.

"Who's that? Look with Azazel." Rias said with shock as they then look at the fight between Azazel and Cattleya. "What's she doing here?"

"Who is she?" Issei asks.

"Cattleya Leviathan." Rias answered as they watch them fight. "You know when the four Devil Kings were killed in the war, they were replaced by Devils that earned instead of inherited those titles, right?"

"Yeah, that's how your older brother and Sona's older sister became Devil Kings." Issei answered.

"Through the long years of fighting, the Devils were almost completely decimated. If the new Devil Kings hadn't ended the war when they did, we probably wouldn't be here right now." Rias explains. "But the direct descendants of the Former Devil Kings still retaliated. They declared themselves to be the rightful successors, so they were chased to the farthest ends of Hell."

"For real?" Issei asks, turned to her.

"Cattleya was part of the resistance. She is the Descendant of the Leviathan Family." Rias told him. "Come with me."

"Hold on, what about everyone else?" Issei asks with worry when he saw her walking.

"We can't worry about them right now. There are other things to take of first." Rias told him without looking at him with her serious expression. "I want you to promote yourself to Queen."

"You got it." Issei nods seriously.

With that, Issei then use his Promotion ability to promote himself to Queen. When they finally made their way towards Gasper's room, Rias used his magic to destroy the door.

"What's going on-"

Issei then knock the magician out with his Boosted Gear.

"A Devil? We disabled their ability to teleport. How did they get here?"

The magicians were completely shocked that the two have manage to teleport. However, Rias and Issei ignored them since they've confirmed that Gasper and Koneko were safe, but not for long when the magicians drew out the daggers, pointing towards Gasper and Koneko.

"Don't worry, we're here." Rias said softly.

"Rias, I'm so sorry." Gasper apologize with teary eyes. "This whole thing is all my fault."

The number of magicians fire the beams at the barrier which it cannot hold much longer. Virgil and the others have manage to kill the numbers of magicians down, but there were too many since they just kept coming from the magic circle which they needed some help.

"We are outnumbered." Michael told them. "But a war of attrition must still be avoided."

One of the magicians hit the shield with the beam, causing a bit of an opening while Grayfia was scanning at a small magic circle in her hands.

"Grayfia is currently analyzing the gate." Sirzechs said seriously.

"Which means we need to buy her extra time." Serafall interpreted.

"You can leave this fight to us." Cornelius said, earned their attention.

They saw Cornelius standing with his Scottish-Claymore in his right hand. With him was his wife Griselda holding her light sword, Kiba with his Sword of Betrayer, Xenovia with Durandal, Gabriel with her light sword, and Irina with Excalibur Mimic. They were ready to fight.

"Can you work together?" Sirzechs asked.

"Yes, Xenovia and I became friends when we were Chief Michael's guards and all five of us have teamed up before." Irina said with confidence.

"Besides, Virgil and the others could use some help warding off the magicians." Kiba added.

"In the meantime, let's hope Azazel has the power to defeat her." Michael said.

"There's no need to worry, Chief Michael. Remember, he's not alone out there." Xenovia assured him with a small smile.

"Right, he's got Rias and Issei." Kiba agrees.

"Also, he's got our son and the Six Heroes of Gran Pulse." Griselda added with a smile.

The leaders nodded with an agreement. The magicians are closing in while Virgil and the others were still holding them off since they need some help as the they hover towards the barrier, a small opening in the barrier was opened. Cornelius, Griselda, Gabriel, Kiba, Xenovia, and Irina let out a battle cry and jumped out, ready to fight the magicians.

Kiba used his speed to zip towards magician to magician, to cut them down, making them disappear, then speeds over next to Fang as he then sliced them.

"It's about time you got here." Fang said sarcastically.

"Sorry, but we just got caught up." Kiba apologized.

"Well since you're here, let's clear these little buggers." Fang suggested, earned a nod from him as they then killed off the magicians.

Cornelius, Griselda, and Gabriel charge the group of magicians while killing them. Virgil blocks the beam with his shield as Lightning then slice the magician off while Cornelius then killed the four group of magicians.

"Thanks." Virgil thanked him.

"Don't thank me yet, we're not out of the woods." Cornelius told his son.

Hope then throw his Airwing at the magician while Gabriel then give him some support by using her light swords to block the beams and Dajh then fired his guns at the magicians. Vanille, Griselda, and Sazh were working together by fending off against the magicians.

Xenovia yelled and swung Durandal around, taking out many of the magicians. Some of the magicians turned to her and started firing the teleportation magic at her, forcing her to use her Durandal to shield herself from those attacks. She was distracted since she couldn't see the magician from behind which she was about to blast her, but Irina used her Excalibur Mimic to wrap around her torso. She landed a few feet and yanked on the rope, sending the magician off her magic circle and defenseless in the air.

"Xenovia!"

"Irina!"

Xenovia then cut the magician in half, making her disappeared.

Afterward, Xenovia then landed right next to Irina, leaving the two ready for the fight since the magicians surrounds them.

"Thank you." Xenovia thanked her.

"Why?" Irina questions, leaving her surprised. "Why didn't you tell me the truth, Xenovia? That you weren't a traitor, but had just been exiled."

"In order to tell you that, I would've also had to tell you that God didn't exist." Xenovia explained. "I couldn't do that to you. And I didn't have the strength to tell you."

Irina gasped, now fully realized why she lied to her.

"Irina?" Xenovia called her which she then steel her resolve with a smile.

"Well come on, we can't let these talks be thwarted, right?" Irina said, looking at her. "Because if peace gets established, then Devils won't be my enemy anymore."

"And neither will the believers of God." Xenovia said with a smile, happy that her friendship with Irina have rekindled. "Then let's do this! We can fight for our friendship sake!"

"All right!"

With that, both Irina and Xenovia then charge after the magicians.

Meanwhile back at the old school building, Rias and Issei were relieved to see that Gasper and Koneko were safe, but the female magicians have put them in a dilemma by drawing out their daggers, pointing at the two.

"Please forgive me, Rias." Koneko pleads for forgiveness.

"It's all right, I'm just glad we found you." Rias told her. "You're okay?"

"I don't know what tricks you use to get her, but don't take one more step." One of the female magicians threatened them.

"Please, Rias. Just kill me now and get it over with." Gasper begs with teary eyes.

"Don't say stuff like that!" Issei shouts seriously.

"It would be better for everyone if I was dead! I'm a useless coward and not only that, look what happened. My stupid power caused it, so I don't deserve to live anymore!" Gasper ranting, shedding tears.

"Don't be so dramatic." Rias told him with a scowl. "Remember what I told you when I made you one of us?"

Gasper then remembered that time when Rias has him as her Peerage out in the middle of the forest at night long ago.

'Live for me, little one. At the same time, find a way of being that will make you happy. You are my servant and part of my household.'

Those words have echoed on Gasper's head as Rias spoke.

"I made a solemn vow. I will not abandon you." Rias said with a gentle smile.

"Thank you. Thank you so much." Gasper thanked her.

The female magicians then point at the them close range as one of them said.

"How stupid. You should've taken the time to brainwash such a dangerous creature so that you can use him as your own personal weapon."

"I know this is most likely beyond your understanding, but my servants were actually cared for." Rias said with a smirk.

"Disrespectful bitch! I'll turn that pretty face into one deserving the name of Devil!"

With that, one of the female magicians then fire the beam at Rias, but Issei block it with his Boosted Gear, much to her appreciation.

"Listen to me, now would be the right time to cause major problems." Rias said to the Dhampir. "I promise if you do, I'll scold you over and over for being so naughty, Gasper. Then I will hold you and never let go."

"You will? Okay." Gasper said, whimpers. "I can try."

'Look at her, Rias Gremory, she's so awesome!' Issei mentally shouts as he then turned to Gasper. "Hey Gasper! Remember what Virgil have told you. He gave you that advice a few days ago. You've got us and that's not all: Akeno, Asia, Kiba, Koneko, Xenovia, Virgil. We're your friends and we believe in you."

That got Gasper stunned of Issei's words which he failed to realize that they all believe in him.

"Go ASCALON!"

Issei raise his fist in the air to unleash the Holy Sword from his Boosted Gear.

"Are you going to fight back?"

"What are you doing?"

Issei then began to cut his hand, causing the blood to gush out.

"You know what Gasper? Nothing will happen if you don't move." Issei told him as he thrust his Holy Sword, causing the blood to head towards right next to Gasper's face. "Damn it, dude! You are the member of the House of Gremory! Show them what kind of man you've made of! Do it, Gasper!"

With that, Gasper then lick the blood as he then activates his Sacred Gear to teleport Koneko right next to Rias and him disappeared, causing the magic circle to disappear.

"He's gone!"

"No, he stopped time!"

"I don't understand! The Sacred Gear was suppressed!"

Until, the swarm of bats then surround the female magicians while the dark hands began to bind them. However, the female magicians tried to break free, but the dark hands began to multiply, draining their magic and blood. One of the female magicians was about to flee, but Koneko knocked her out.

"Awesome." Issei said with awe.

"This is just a small dose of Gasper's power." Rias told him with shock.

"No way, are you shitting me?" Issei asks.

"No, I'm not shitting you. His power was released when he tasted of your blood." Rias explains. "But Issei, how'd you ever come up with that idea?"

"Oh uh, because I might've had some help." Issei answered when he looked at his hand, remembered that Azazel have told him since few days ago.

One of the female magicians was about to fire the beam at the two when Koneko warned them, causing Issei get in front of her, but the beam stopped.

"Wait, what happened? The magic has been stopped."

"It's no use." The voice of Gasper said as they look up. "I can see every move all of you are making."

With that, Gasper then use his Forbidden Balor View to stop the female magicians. Issei then began to touch the female magicians and used his 'Dress Break' ability to rip off the femle magicians robes.

"Oh hot damn, this is like the festival of naked ladies!?" Issei exclaimed with his perverted grin. Gasper then fly right next to him.

"Gasper, look at what we can accomplish when we were working together." Issei said excitedly.

"Yeah, we can do anything." Gasper agrees.

"Look at them all! Naked! Groping time!" Issei shouts with his perverted grin, about to grope them.

However, Rias then bonked his head, leaving a big bump on his head.

"Down boy." Rias said with annoyance.

"Right, I'm down." Issei groaned, rubbing his sore head.

"You're the worst." Koneko said with her deadpan expression on her face.

When Gasper was back into his normal form, Issei then placed the bracelet on him.

"This should keep you more in control." Issei said with a smile.

With that, Rias and the others were heading out of the old school building to help Virgil and the others fighting against the magicians.

The fight between Azazel and Cattleya goes on since they were in a stalemate as she then spoke.

"Are you as excited about your final moments as I am?" Cattleya asked with a mockery.

She then held up her hand and a small magic circle appeared over her palm. From it, snakes from dark energy glows started shooting out from it. Cattleya then laughed as the snakes then wrapped around her body, causing her power to increase and her skin turned purple with energy for a moment before going back to normal.

"A snake?" Azazel said with confusion.

Cattleya then summons her two magic circles and shoot from the large column of demonic snakes, leaving her grinned with satisfaction since the Governor-General of the Fallen Angels was no more.

"We should clear something up before moving forward." Azazel said when he was behind her.

That got Cattelya gasped when she heard him. Enraged, she charged with her left hand with her same power before trying to swing at him. However, Azazel was able to block her attack with his left hand and look at her with his wicked smile.

"You've got a lot of aura. Seems to be more than Devil King's should possess." Azazel stated. "Where'd you get this power?"

"I would love to answer that question, but why waste so much breath when you're just going to die!?" Cattleya said with her wicked smile.

She then cast her demonic snake power at Azazel as the battle continues.

That's it for the 27th chapter. Sorry about the delay, I was a bit slow. Also, my laptop was broken and I'm using the tablet, but it's only temporarily until I get a new one.
