Chapter 3: Fallen Angels
Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter. I hope everyone is doing alright with this Corona Virus going around. I'll try my best to keep updating for you all. I put quite a few surprises in this one. I hope you like what I have planned. Please Review and Enjoy.
It was late at night after having dealt with the Stray Devil and Rias was walking to the Vongola house before knocking on the door.
As the door opens Rias smiles to see Salem in his pajamas. "Rias." Salem smiles hugging her.
"Salem, look at you. You're getting so big and strong." Rias said when Kyoko walks in with Saya in her hands.
"You don't usually come by this late, something wrong?" Kyoko asks.
"Sorry but after we dealt with the Stray Devil my newest member Issei discovered something important. I need to speak with Seth." Rias said.
"He's upstairs in his room." Kyoko points.
"Mommy, can Rias read us a bedtime story?" Saya asks.
"Maybe another time sweetie." Kyoko said as Rias handed her Salem.
"Night you two." Rias said.
"Night Rias." Saya and Salem smile.
Rias smiles softly always loving how much the Vongolas have treated her. Making her way to Seth's room she slowly opens the door to see the bedroom was empty when the shower turned on getting her attention.
"Oh, I am not gonna waste this chance." Rias grins taking off her uniform.
In the shower, Seth was letting the water run down his body when suddenly he heard footsteps coming towards him before a figure steps into the shower and two soft breasts press against his back.
"Room for one more?" Rias teases whispering into his ear.
Seth turns to see Rias hugging him as their naked bodies were pressed against each other.
"Something must be important for you to come here after we just destroyed a Stray." Seth said.
"Very." Rias said.
"But I'm willing to wait until after our shower if you are." Seth offers.
"Absolutely." Rias said as Seth as turned around and kissed her on the lips which she gladly returns.
"I'm in the shower with my girlfriend I'm not wasting this chance." Seth said using the same words she said causing Rias to grin as she wraps her arms around him.
"You want to clean me first of should I do?" Rias offers.
"You first." Seth said as he covered his hands in soap and ran them down her entire body. Rias moans softly as Seth's hands squeezed her breasts lathering them in soap.
"Seth your hands are magic." Rias moans.
Seth bends down and rubs his hands up her soft smooth legs before arriving at her rear having finished cleaning every inch of her body.
"Looks like it's my turn." Rias said as she lathered soap over her hands and rubs herself all over his body.
As her large melons were pressed against his chest Rias wraps her arms around him and she rubs soap along his chest Seth looked down to reveal she was also panting.
"Imagine what would happen if I took you right here." Seth whispers getting her attention. "You clinging to me for life as I pound you against the wall."
"And what else would happen?" Rias asks.
"I'd make every inch of you mine." Seth said squeezing her hips.
"Careful what you say Vongola, I might hold you to that." Rias teases.
"That's not a boast. That's a promise." Seth said.
"Me too." Rias said as she turned off the water and Rias nuzzles him.
Rias was about to walk out when she felt a hand smack her rear causing her to gasp. Turning around she saw Seth looking away like he didn't know what just happened.
"Naughty boy." Rias smirks as they walked out wearing towels.
"So, what's the problem?" Seth asks.
"Issei had a bad run in with a Stray Exorcist, apparently the new nun who joined the church has a pretty powerful Sacred Gear and it might have something to do with these Fallen Angel reports." Rias said.
"And you want me to keep an eye on the situation because if you devils get involved it could lead to an incident with the church if things go bad?" Seth asks.
"You know me so well." Rias smiles resting her head on his shoulder. "We make quite a team, don't we?"
"Yes, we do." Seth smiles.
As they let go Rias looks to the clock. "Wow we spent way too much time together. Hmm it's not really wise for a girl my age to go home at this hour." Rias hints.
"You wanna spend the night here again?" Seth asks catching on.
"Again, you know me so well." Rias nods.
"You know if you sleep in the guest room the others might get curious." Seth said.
"Don't worry." Dropping her towel Rias climbs under the covers of his bed as Seth took off his and climbed in with her. "I prefer this bed."
Moving in close Rias snuggles up to Seth and holds him close. "You gotta admit though, Rias Vongola has a nice ring to it." Seth said.
"It really does." Rias giggles as they fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next morning, Seth was walking through town following Issei from behind as he was talking to the blonde-haired nun Rias talked about, this was Asia Argento.
'Hmm this is a first, he's with a girl and he's not trying to do anything perverted.' Seth chuckles as the two of them went to a fast food restaurant where Issei showed Asia how to eat a hamburger and then they went to the arcade and he won her a stuffed plushie.
"That you so much, from now on whenever I look at this little guy, I'll remember such a blessing it is to get to know you." Asia smiles.
"Come on, there's still more to do over here." Issei said as they walked away.
'Well I'll be, he can actually be a decent human being when he wants to be.' Seth smiles as he followed after when he suddenly felt a dangerous presence.
Turning around he saw a figure in a trench coat and black hair looking right at him or to be more precise, the Sky Ring on his hand. This was Dohnaseek.
Eyes narrowing Seth walks out and as turns to see Issei and Asia walking in one direction he knew he couldn't let this on their trail. 'I'll have to double back.' Seth thought walking to the park in the opposite direction and when he walked in Dohnaseek appeared in front of him.
"I've heard stories of those rings. The power and legacy behind them and the wielders of those rings." Dohnaseek said.
"Then you should also the consequences should anyone try to take them by force." Seth said putting his gloves on.
"You Vongolas have always been the exceptions, the only humans allowed in the 3 factions. Frankly, I never understood why." Dohnaseek glares taking off his fedora.
"Listen, I'm only gonna say this once. Don't make me have to kill you." Seth said as orange flames appeared in his hands.
"And miss the chance to take the Sky Ring? Not a chance." Dohnaseek said revealing his black wings and a spear of light appeared in his hands.
Dohnaseek throws the spear towards Seth but at the last second Seth grabs it with ease shocking him.
"You really think I would lose my Ring to a common grunt like you?" Seth asks snapping the spear in half.
Dohnaseek's eyes widen as Seth appears in front of him and punches him in the face sending him flying across the park and smashing into a tree.
Dohnaseek groans as Seth's blazing hand was inches from his face. "Still feeling confident?"
"Absolutely? While I kept you busy, we went after our real target." Dohnaseek grins causing Seth's eyes to widen.
"Issei!" Seth realized.
"You can't save her." Dohnaseek said as Seth punched him in the face knocking him out.
"This is why Uncle Al always has to visit us." Seth growls running off.
Nearby, Issei and Asia were by a fountain as another Fallen Angel with black hair was staring Issei down. This was Raynare and the main reason Issei became a Devil.
"Sacred Gear!" Issei roars as a red gauntlet appeared on his hand. "Oh yeah!"
"Is that the best you got? That's only a Twice Critical." Raynare laughs.
"A what?" Issei asks.
"That thing only doubles your power temporarily." Raynare explains.
"That's it?" Issei said looking at it.
"Word is you had a Sacred Gear to lookout for, that's why I put on that stupid girl act. Man you fell for it hook, line and sinker." Raynare mocks.
"Shut up and fight!" Issei growls.
"You're an idiot if you think you can beat me with that. Give me the girl, take what's left of your dignity and go." Raynare orders.
"Not a chance. If I can't protect my friends, I'm nothing!" Issei growls as his Sacred Gear glowed.
'Boost!' It said glowing bright but while he was distracted Raynare's spear flew in and stabbed him in the chest.
"Issei no!" Asia screams as Issei fell to his knees.
"Looks like your equipment can't get the job done. If I were you I'd get used to that." Raynare said.
"Damn." Issei growls when suddenly Asia's hands glowed. "Asia? What are you doing?"
"I'm healing you." Asia said as the pain from Raynare's attack went away.
"Now Asia be a good girl and come with me. Your healing ability is much more valuable to our cause than his Sacred Gear could ever be." Raynare said.
"I knew it. You're only interested in me because of my power." Asia accuses.
"How about you and I make a deal? If you come with me, I won't murder your friend." Raynare suggests summoning a spear.
"Screw you lady! No way she's coming with you!" Issei snaps as Raynare threw her spear at him.
"Look out!" Issei said pushing Asia out of the way as the spear explodes knocking him into the water.
"I could have destroyed him. It's your choice. Come with me or he dies." Raynare said.
"I'll go with you." Asia said.
"No Asia!" Issei gasps.
"Good girl. Don't worry once the ritual is complete all your problems will go away. See you soon, Issei." Raynare grins as Issei picked himself up.
"Leave her alone!" Issei roars running to them.
"Don't you ever learn?" Raynare asks about to attack when a hand grabbed her arm.
Looking to the side she saw Seth glaring at her with an orange dying will flame on his head.
"Seth?" Issei said surprised.
"Geez Issei even you deserve better than this for a girlfriend." Seth said pushing Raynare back.
"A Vongola." Raynare growls.
"So you like picking on the weak? Well let's see how you like when your opponent can hit you back." Seth said as Raynare jumps back avoiding his punch but Seth grabs her leg and slams her to the ground.
Sweeping her leg Raynare forces Seth to let go as he dodges.
"You Vongolas have to be the most annoying humans in the world." Raynare growls summoning spears of light and throwing them at him.
Seth dodges all the attacks with quick movements amazing Issei as he uses his flames to shoot forward and punch Raynare in the face knocking her to the ground next to Asia.
'Whoa I wish I could fight like that.' Issei said amazed.
"You can't beat me with tricks like that." Seth said.
"Maybe not, but I can beat him." Raynare creates another spear and throws it towards Issei causing Seth and Asia to gasp.
"Issei!" Asia screams when Seth moves as fast as he could and tackles Issei to safety.
"So predictable." Raynare said as she used this chance to escape with Asia.
"No!" Issei screams before turning to Seth. "Dammit why did you choose me?! You should have saved her!" Issei sobs.
"We'll get her back." Seth vows as his flames died down.
"How? We have no idea what we're dealing with!" Issei said.
"We don't but I know someone who does." Taking out his phone, Seth dials a number. "It's me, I need your help. Meet me at Kuoh Academy as soon as possible." Turning to Issei, Seth helped him. "Come on let's get you looked at."
At the Occult Reseach Club, Seth was sitting down with Koneko and Kiba when they heard a slapping noise.
"What did I tell you? You can't just rush in to save her. You need to stop or you'll get killed. You're a member of the Gremory Household." Rias said.
"Then why don't you just release me because I refuse to stand by and let them hurt Asia." Issei said.
"I won't do it." Rias said.
"Of course not, I'm your precious Pawn. Can't lose your most valuable piece." Issei said sarcastically.
"Issei, that's enough. Pawns are valuable. Like in the game of chess, they have the ability of promotion. If you advance far enough into enemy territory you can be promoted to any rank besides King." Rias explains.
"Fine if you won't help, Seth can I count on you?" Issei asks.
"Why don't you wait until my intel shows up first before you do anything?" Seth said.
"Intel?" Issei asks.
"You see Issei, the Vongolas are the only group of humans allowed to associate with all 3 factions and quite few individuals don't like that and want nothing more than to take my family out, so I have a few individuals who keep me posted on suspicious activity." Seth said as the door opens to reveal Akeno.
"Everyone, Neopolitan has arrived." Akeno said stepping out of the way to reveal a girl with wavy pink and brown hair, a white jacket, a bowler hat on her head and a pink parasol in her hand.
"Neo, thanks for coming on such short notice." Seth smiles hugging her as she happily hugs back.
A smile appears on Neo's face as she nods happy to see him too.
"Whoa, who is this hottie?" Issei asks as Neo turns to him and a pointy edge popped out of her parasol and she points it at him.
"Watch yourself Issei, she's killed many enemies with that parasol. Issei, meet Neo, she's my spy into the Fallen Angels." Seth introduces.
"Hi." Issei said but Neo just stays silent. "Uh why isn't she saying anything?"
"Neo doesn't talk, she's a mute." Seth explains.
"Wait you have a girl who can't talk as a spy? How does that work?" Issei asks.
Rolling her eyes Neo took out her phone and wrote a text saying. "This is how anymore more stupid questions?"
"Neo, a pleasure to see you." Rias said as she walks over but Neo grabs Seth's shoulder and hugs him close causing Rias to glare at her.
"Uh Neo, the intel? We kinda have someone's life on the line." Seth said wanting to break this up.
Neo sighs before taking out a folded-up piece of paper and holding it out for him.
"Thanks Neo." Seth was about to take it when Neo yanks it back and moves her finger back and forth meaning she wanted something for this. Sighing Seth leans in and kisses Neo on the cheek causing her to smile and Rias to twitch annoyed.
Giggling Neo hands Seth the letter and sticks her tongue out at Rias.
Seth opens it and reads the contents. "Alright, well Issei the good news is she's at the Fallen Angel church but the bad news it's filled with stray priests and quite a few Fallen Angels."
"You hear that Issei, say you went to Fallen Church you would be promoted. Now let's talk about your Sacred Gear." Rias said.
"It doubles my powers Yuuma—I mean the Fallen Angel said that." Issei sighs.
"Just feel. Any Sacred Gear works in direct correlation with its owner. The stronger the feelings the stronger your Sacred Gear will be." Rias said.
"I didn't know that." Issei said when Seth hands the paper to Rias which she reads.
"Seth has brought something to my attention. Akeno do you mind assisting us?" Rias asks.
"Not at all." Akeno said.
Before leaving Seth turns to Neo and nods giving her a signal causing her to smile.
"Wait I have more questions." Issei said.
"Remember Issei, even with your Promotion a single devil would never be able to defeat them all by yourself." Rias said before she, Akeno and Seth disappeared in a magic circle.
"Guess we'll have to see about that." Issei said.
"You going?" Kiba asks.
"Yep, so don't try and stop me." Issei said.
"You're gonna get killed." Kiba warns.
"I don't care as long as I can get her out." Issei said.
"It's suicide…that's why I'm coming with you." Kiba said grabbing his sword surprising Issei.
"What?" Issei said confused.
"You heard Rias, you get in that church and you're promoted, but she also said you couldn't do it alone so we're coming too." Kiba said.
"Even you two?" Issei asks looking at Koneko and Neo.
"There's nothing else to do." Koneko said as Neo nods saying she would help.
At the Fallen Church, a girl with blonde hair in a goth maid outfit was sitting on a tree as security.
"Man this is the worst. I hate standing guard." She said when a magic circle appeared and Seth, Rias and Akeno stepped out. "Ooh and here comes the fun." Jumping down she turns to face them. "I'm Mittelt and I'm the strongest Fallen Angel ever."
"This one is certainly full of herself." Akeno said.
"Looks like Neo's information was spot on. If you're standing guard your people must be worried about an attack." Rias said.
"Worried? Hardly. We're just in the middle of an important ritual and we don't need you getting in the way." Mittelt said.
"Sorry but a few of us are on their way right now." Akeno said.
"What?! Are you freaking kidding me? I hate devils! I want to kill them all!" Mittelt snaps. "You know what who cares, there are way more of us than them."
"Yeah but I'm backing them up." Seth said as Mittelt noticed the Vongola ring.
"Ooh shiny. So what are you three doing? I hope it's not a rescue mission." Mittelt said.
"No, Issei needs to do this on his own." Seth shook his head.
"Rescue or not I can't let you go. If I take you down, the rest of your devils will fall not to mention that ring on the boy's finger is very valuable. Sorry but I'm bringing friends!" Mittelt said growing her wings and a portal opens summoning Dohanseek and a woman with blue hair and a tight red dress. This was Kalawarner.
"Hello Vongola, we meet again." Dohanseek said revealing he had a black eye from his last fight with Seth.
"Well, well the gang's all here." Akeno smiles.
"Guess we'll be having some fun too." Seth said putting on his gloves.
At the front of the church, Issei, Koneko, Neo and Kiba were standing in front of it.
"No way can you feel that?" Issei asks as Neo nods.
"No kidding there must be a ton of priests in there." Kiba said.
"No need to be sneaky, they know we're here." Koneko said kicking open the door.
"Well what do we have here?" As they walk in they saw a man in church clothes with white hair, this was Freed. "Glad you could make it. I bet I'm a sight for sore eyes."
"Yeah right." Issei scoffs.
"Here's the thing I pride myself on that I never have to battle a devil more than once and yet here you are. If there's one thing I won't stand for it's being mocked by devils in the house of God. So what do you say we finish this?" Freed asks taking out a gun and a sword of light.
"Where's Asia?" Issei asks.
"Oh you mean the devil loving whore of a sister? All you have to do is get past me to the basement behind the altar." Freed said.
"Sounds easy enough." Kiba said as Issei summoned his Sacred Gear when Neo held out her hand and stepped forward first.
"Ooh it appears a pretty little girl wants to fight me. Any last words?" Freed asks but Neo just narrows her eyes. "Silent treatment huh? Fine by me!" Freed aims his gun and fired but Neo opens her parasol and it deflects all the bullets.
Reaching to her pocket Neo pulls out two small sticks of dynamite.
"Dynamite? Who fights with that?" Issei asks.
"Only one person…a member of the previous Vongola generation." Kiba smirks as Neo ignites them and charged towards Freed.
Meeting her Freed and Neo clash sword and parasol until Neo pushes back.
Jumping back Freed lunges at her, but Neo ducks under and straps the bombs to his belt.
As Freed turns around Neo stood up and pointed down. "Huh?" Looking down the bombs exploded causing Freed to scream in pain.
"That was pretty cool." Issei chuckles.
"That's our Neopolitan." Kiba smiles when out of the smoke Freed leaps at Neo and slashes but she dodges all before jumping back towards the pew benches.
"Hey you silent bitch! How about you and I play a game called Let's go to the Dog Show. It's where I put a collar on you and make you my bi—" Before he Freed could finish he screamed in agony as Neo picked up a bible and threw it nailing him where the sun don't shine.
"So that's why they call it the good book." Issei chuckles as Neo jumps and floats down towards them Mary Poppins style.
"Anyone ever tell you that you talk way too much?" Koneko asks throwing a pew at Freed who dodges and shots at them.
Moving in Kiba and Freed lock swords. "Come on! Is that all you got?!"
"You're quick." Kiba said as Freed aimed his gun to shoot from close range but Kiba dodges. "Alright if you wanna get serious I can too." Kiba said as darkness covered his sword. "Holy Eraser!"
Swinging his sword the darkness started to drain all the light from Freed's sword. "What the hell is this?"
"It's a sword of darkness that devours all light." Kiba smirks.
"I didn't know he had a Sacred Gear." Issei said impressed.
"Issei!" Kiba calls out.
"Promotion: Rook!" Issei yells as he charged towards Freed and punches him in the face sending him flying. "That was for Asia."
Growling Freed draws two light swords. "You bastard!"
Rushing in Neo kicks Freed in the gut sending him crashing into some pews.
"I'll be damned if a bunch of devils are gonna get the best of me! You won the battle, but not the war!" Freed said throwing a light bomb to make his escape.
"Damn. He got away." Issei growls.
"Forget him, let's keep moving." Kiba said.
Reaching to her belt Neo took out another bomb and blew up the altar revealing a secret staircase.
"Hang on Asia." Issei said as they ran down to see Asia chained to a giant cross with possibly a hundred Fallen Angels beneath Raynare.
"Sorry Issei, but you're too late." Raynare smirks as green light came from Asia and 2 rings floated into Raynare's hand. "Twilight Healing, it's beautiful."
The 4 of them look in shock before rage and anger filled Issei. "ASIA!"
Outside, Seth, Rias and Akeno were glaring down the three Fallen Angels.
"It's very clear that you plan to stop our ritual and for that we cannot allow." Dohnaseek said.
"You'll pay for it with your lives!" Kalawarner said as she and Dohnaseek spread their wings.
"Akeno?" Rias asks.
"Already on it." Akeno said summoning thunder clouds and as lighting struck her Akeno's clothes changed to resemble a shrine maiden.
"No fair! I wasn't told we could wear costumes to this fight!" Mittelt points when suddenly magic circles formed around them.
"A barrier?" Dohnaseek gasps.
"You planned this didn't you?" Kalawarner asks.
"Yep and you idiots walked right into it." Seth said as sky flames appeared on his fists and on his forehead.
"I am gonna take a lot of pleasure in watching you three scream in pain. Hope you're into S&M." Akeno smiles.
"Even with this barrier you won't stop our ritual." Kalawarner said.
"Not even the heir to the Vongolas and House of Gremory can undo this." Dohnaseek said.
"So you planned to steal the girl's Sacred Gear and use it for yourselves?" Seth realizes.
"Taking that from her is taking her life." Rias said.
"Issei will stop her." Seth said.
"You mean the loser ex?" Mittelt asks getting his attention. "Yeah Raynare told us all about their pathetic relationship. He was such an idiot."
"Yeah he was an idiot." Seth said tightening his knuckles before walking towards them. "But who doesn't dream of meeting a pretty girl and sweeping her off her feet? Every guy has that thought at least once, but killing innocent people to make yourself stronger and mocking them? I'll never forgive you." Seth glares as the flames around his hands grew.
"No one mocks my servant." Rias said equally angry.
"Uh oh, the power couple is angry. Been nice knowing you." Akeno smirks stepping back.
Both Seth and Rias release powerful blasts of orange and black flames which fly towards the three Fallen Angels causing them to scream.
Inside the church, Issei laid Asia down on a pew.
"Asia hang in there. Once we get outta here you're free." Issei said as she opened her eyes.
"I know it wasn't a long time but I'm blessed to have made a friend like you." Asia said weakly.
"Don't talk like that. You hear me. We're gonna be friends for a long time. We'll do everything together Karaoke, Bowling, I'll even introduce you to everyone even Seth's group. Sure Hibari might be a pain in the ass but they're all good people. You'll love them and they'll love hanging out with you." Issei said with tears pouring down his face.
"I wish I could. I wish I could have gone to your school." Asia said.
"You still can. School will be so much better with you there." Issei said as Asia reached out and cupped his cheek.
"I never wanted to make you cry. Issei, I'm sorry." Asia said before her hand dropped and she laid dead with a smile on her face.
"Asia no! Why God?! Why would you do such a thing?! Why did it have to be here?!" Issei sobs.
"A devil talking to God? What a laugh." Issei turns to see Raynare sitting nearby with a cut on her shoulder.
"What are you doing here?" Issei asks.
"Some bitch with a parasol cut me on the way up here." Raynare said.
"Where are Kiba, Koneko and Neo?" Issei asks but Raynare ignores him and uses Twilight Healing on herself.
"Isn't it wonderful? No matter the injury I can heal myself like that. My place in the underworld is secure." Raynare said.
"Who cares?" Issei growls getting her attention. "What does any of that have to do with Asia? She wasn't a threat."
"Unfortunately for those with a Sacred Gear this is their destiny." Raynare said standing up.
"Bullshit! She never would've used it, she just wanted to live in peace!" Issei snaps.
"Out of the question. Humans do not have the ability to survive in their world with a Sacred Gear." Raynare said.
"What about the Vongolas? They have power but they're all human!" Issei points out.
"The Vongolas are unnecessary!" Raynare snaps. "They stuck their annoying heads in where they didn't belong and for some reason everyone looks at those stupid humans like they're the greatest thing in the world! The future for all of us, it's disgusting. All they do is get in the way of real progress. The power of the Dying Will Flames is worth a million Sacred Gears, but instead of taking their powers for ourselves they walk around using their power to help everyone, it's disgusting. They don't belong in our world they belong in the same place as that girl, 6 feet under."
Issei growls as he remembers Seth, how even though at school they weren't the best of friends he still jumped in to save Issei and figured all this out so they could get Asia.
"Wrong." Issei hisses. "The only one who deserves to die is you!"
'Dragon Boost!' A bright light engulfs him as he summons his Sacred Gear.
"You just don't learn." Raynare said dodging his attacks and throwing two light spears stabbing him in the legs causing him to scream in pain. "Light is toxic to devils. To just touch is pure agony."
"I don't care." Issei growls ripping the spears out of him. "Compared to Asia I'll take anything you throw at me!"
"I'll admit a low-class devil like you is lasting much longer than expected, but that's not much." Raynare mocks.
"Praying to God isn't gonna help. I need to call Satan if I'm a devil. Just this once. Help me out." Issei mutters.
"What are you doing?" Raynare asks.
"Just this once. Help me destroy her!" Issei yells summoning his devil wings.
"How can you stand? That light should be burning you from the inside out. You can't temper light! You're nothing!" Raynare asks shocked.
"Don't get me wrong it hurts, but I don't care if it means I can take you down!" Issei roars.
'Explosion!' A green light came from Issei's Sacred Gear as sit changed shape to where it covered his fingers and a good chunk of his arm.
"That energy wave is at least second level! It shouldn't be able to do this, it's just a Double Critical!" Raynare throws a spear of light in panic but Issei knocks it away.
Panic engulfing her, Raynare tries to fly away but Issei grabs her. "You're not going anywhere! FOR ASIA!"
Delivering a powerful punch Issei sends Raynare smashing through the stain glass window.
"Payback." Issei said as he was about to fall over when Seth rushed in helped him up.
"Whoa, not bad." Seth smiles.
"Seth? What are you doing here?" Issei asks.
"Thanks for standing up for my family back there." Seth said as Rias walked out with Kiba and Neo right behind her.
"Yes, it was very impressive. We knew you could defeat her. Seth and I finished our business and arrived down in the basement to see these 3 having a free for all." Rias said.
"Good thing you did. We might've been in trouble if you hadn't." Kiba said when Koneko walked in dragging Raynare by her arm.
"Look what I found." Koneko said throwing her to the ground.
"So you're Raynare. My name is Rias Gremory, the next heir to the House of Gremory." She introduced.
"Gremory? You've gotta be kidding me." Raynare gulps.
"Shame we don't have time to chat but it's time for you to join your friends that Seth and I dispatched of earlier." Rias said taking out three feathers.
"They were very rude to us." Seth said.
"You two killed them?" Issei gasps.
"There's a reason those two get along so well. Get on their bad said and they'll destroy you." Kiba warns.
"Wow, didn't know I had such badass friends." Issei smiles.
"Why would the heiress of Gremory dare such a thing? And to ally with a Vongola of all people?" Raynare asks.
"Because after Dohnaseek attacked Issei, I had Seth ask Neo to do some investigating and she found out you had plans on attacking this town." Rias explains.
"You figured out all that by yourself?" Issei asks as Neo smiles meaning she did.
"Neo's as strong as any member of my team but her skills are better suited to this." Seth said.
"Look at you. I didn't see your Sacred Gear." Rias notices his change.
"Oh yeah. I don't know what happened. It just turned red." Issei said.
"It's called a Red Dragon and it actually explains a lot. See Raynare, hope that makes you feel better." Rias said.
"What?" Raynare gasps.
"It's a powerful Sacred Gear that doubles his power every 10 seconds allowing him to transcend God and Satan. The one downfall is it takes awhile, but since you let your guard down he was able to defeat you." Rias said.
"Issei please." Everyone looks to see Raynare change her clothes to resemble Yuuma. "I'm sorry for what I did, but I had to fulfill my role as a Fallen Angel."
"Yuuma." Issei gasps.
"Oh that's low." Seth said.
"I mean if I didn't care about you would I still wear the bracelet you got me? You wouldn't let them hurt me would you?" Yuuma asks.
Issei looks to her and deep down he knew what he had to say. "Rias." He nods turning away.
"You've messed with my servant's emotions for the last time." Rias said as Raynare screamed meaning Rias destroyed her.
"Seth why does it hurt?" Issei asks.
"Sometimes love hurts, but you'll find someone." Seth said when he looked up and saw Twilight Healing floating down. Holding out his hand Seth caught them. "Here, you give them back."
Putting the rings on Asia's fingers, Issei felt even worse.
"I'm sorry, you all tried to help but I failed." Issei sobs.
"Not entirely." Rias said taking out a Bishop. "I have something that might help. This is the Bishop, it's strongest magical property is magic."
"Wait do you mean?" Issei gasps.
"Looks like our sister is about to be reborn as a devil." Seth nods.
Creating a magic circle around her Rias chanted as the Bishop piece entered Asia.
"Did it work?" Issei asks.
"Watch closely." Seth said as Asia slowly opened her eyes.
"She's alive, wait is that really her?" Issei asks.
"It is, I don't make it a habit of reviving the deceased but her power may be useful. From now on you are protector. You are her senior devil after all." Rias said.
"Issei?" Asia asks before he hugs her.
"I'm so happy you're home." Issei smiles.
"There might be hope for him after all." Seth chuckles when he looks to Neo as she walks out. "Hey Neo, go visit your dad before you head back out. He misses you."
Neo turns to Seth and nods blowing him a kiss before leaving.
As Issei got Asia out Seth turned to Rias.
"That was a really nice thing you did for him." Seth said.
"Well I know what it means to fall in love with someone. If anything, ever happened to you I don't know what I'd do." Rias smiles.
Smiling Seth hugs her close before they walked out.
The next day at the Occult Research Club, Issei was sitting down with Rias.
"You're looking well." Rias said.
"Yeah thanks to Asia's healing it's like yesterday never happened." Issei said.
"That's good, she's already proving useful." Rias smiles.
"Hey Rias, if I'm a Pawn does that mean you get 7 more?" Issei asks.
"Actually no. You see Issei, to revive you I needed all 8 of my Pawns." Rias explains surprising him. "The Red Dragon Emperor. Even I never saw that coming. Though don't expect me to coddle you because our newest member might get jealous."
"Huh?" Issei asks when Asia walks in wearing a female Kuoh uniform.
"Uh what's going on?" Asia asks.
"We were just talking." Issei said quickly.
"No, it makes sense after all she's prettier than me and will probably do things I won't. Oh lord please forgive me." Asia begs before a sharp pain.
"A devil praying to god, that's a new one." Asia turns to see Seth walking in with Blake, Hinata, Erza and Hibari.
"We heard you got a new piece so we thought it was only right we introduce ourselves." Erza smiles.
"I just came because Akeno made a cake." Hibari said when Kiba and Koneko walk in.
"Hey everyone's here." Kiba smiles.
"I'm almost glad to see you up and moving." Koneko said.
"And here's a little something to welcome our newest member." Akeno said pushing a cart with a big cake on it.
"Hey Seth." Rias said getting his attention. "Thanks for all the help."
"Anytime." Seth smiles.
Little did they know outside on the tree by the window a red and yellow bird was watching them and through its eyes a man with blonde hair surrounded by multiple girls was watching them.
"Well isn't this a happy ending. Gag me." He smirks.
At a small house, Neo walked up to it and opened the door.
"Hey! Who's there? You better not be another salesman or I'll blow you to bits!" A male voice threatened causing Neo to chuckle.
Taking off her hat and shoes Neo looks up as a man with silver hair walks out. This was Gokudera Hayato.
When he saw her Gokudera smiles softly. "Really wish you sent a text ahead of time telling me Seth called you back."
Smiling Neo just shrugs before walking over and hugging him.
"Oh well, at least my little girl is home for a little bit." Gokudera sighs hugging her back. "Come on, let's have some dinner and you can tell me what you've been up to. Boss and I have been pretty busy too."
Liking the sound of that Neo and Gokudera walk into the next room past a picture that had Tsuna, Gokudera, and a man with spiky black holding a young Seth, Neo and a girl with white hair in a bun.
