AN2: Thank you Legendary-Nioh for letting me use your characters name.
As usual, I own nothing.
Sona Sitri was having a good day. She was currently in her office at school doing paperwork. School would be over soon and the young devil wanted to get any last-minute things done. Her work as student council president may be hard but for Sona, it's something she enjoys as much as playing chess with her childhood friend/rival. Said friend had just been saved from a -what would have been- loveless marriage.
Rias Gremory was engaged to one Riser Phenex. A fellow high-class devil. However, Risers views towards women, along with his obnoxious arrogant attitude was less to be desired. Rias had challenged Riser to a Rating Game to win her freedom. Unfortunately, Riser and his peerage were too much for her. In an unlikely turn of events, Rias' pawn, Issei Hyodou crashed the engagement party and defeated Riser. Thus, freeing Rias.
Thinking back, Sona can't help but remember a time where she and Rias were friends with another devil. They were inseparable growing up and it was a friendship that would last for centuries. However, a great tragedy occurred and their friend was lost. That same friend had also made a promise to free Rias from her engagement to Riser.
"At least Hyoudou-san managed to fill in." Sona thinks.
Sona puts her pen down before opening a drawer on her right. She then picks up an item from the inside. Said item is a blue bracelet with a crystal blue teardrop charm. Sona smiles as she traces her fingers on the charm. The same charm her lost friend gave her.
"Now that I think about it, her birthday's today." Sona thinks.
Sona is taken from her thoughts as she hears a knock on her door. She then stuffs the bracelet in her pocket.
"Enter." Sona says as she faces the door.
The door opens to reveal Sona's queen, as well as her vice-president, Tsubaki Shinra.
"Forgive my interruption Sona, but you have a visitor." Tsubaki says with a quick bow.
At Sona's nod, Tsubaki moves to let the visitor inside while Tsubaki herself moves to Sona's left side. The visitor is a dark skinned woman with dual colored hair. The bottom part of her hair is a light blue color while the top part is brown. She has rectangular ears and golden eyes. The woman wears a black kimono with dark green accents and black shoes.
"Greetings Shitori-san." The woman says with a smile and a bow. "I am Ryo Ohki."
"A pleasure to make your acquaintance Ohki-san." Sona says. "Are you here applying for a job at Kuoh Academy? I wasn't aware we were getting a new faculty member."
"Actually, I'm here to extend an invitation...Sitri-san." Ryo says.
Sona and Tsubaki are instantly on guard upon hearing Sona's real name. Just before Sona can summon the rest of her peerage...
"Please, there's no need to be tense." Ryo says calmly. "I'm not here to fight."
Sona narrows her eyes. "Who are you? Are you a devil?"
Ryo shakes her head. "No. I'm actually my masters familiar."
"A familiar?" Sona says with a raised eyebrow.
"Who is this master of yours?" Tsubaki asked.
"I'm afraid I can't tell you that." Ryo says. "My master wishes to remain anonymous."
"I should warn you that this town is my, as well as another devils, territory." Sona says. "Whatever business this master of yours has here should have been brought to our attention."
Ryo bows. "Of course. My master knows this. Which is why she would like to formally introduce herself to the both of you."
"Really?" Sona asked. "Why not come see me herself?"
"Unfortunately, my master is making preparations for tonight and couldn't make it." Ryo says. "You see, my master has recently moved to this town and is planning a party to introduce herself to the devils in charge here."
"So you were sent in her place?" Sona asked.
"Yes." Ryo says. She then walks to Sona's desk and places a note on it. "This is the address. The party begins at eight. Both yours and the Gremory heiress peerage are welcome to attend."
Sona looks at the note with a critical gaze. Tsubaki leans in to examine the note as well. Tsubaki then looks at her king.
"What do you think Sona?" Tsubaki asks.
Sona glances at her queen before looking back to Ryo. "Very well. We'll be there."
Ryo claps her hands. "Excellent. I'll let my master know. We'll see you soon."
Tsubaki goes to open the door for Ryo. With a bow, Ryo leaves the room. Leaving Sona and Tsubaki alone.
"How could a new devil enter Kuoh without yours or the Maous knowledge?" Tsubaki asked.
Sona adjusts her glasses. "I don't know Tsubaki. But I plan on finding out."
Sometime later, Sona finds herself in the Occult Research Club's building. Where Rias and her peerage spend most of their time. School had just ended and the students were either on their way home or going to their after-school activities. Currently, the only people present were Rias and her queen Akeno, Sona and Tsubaki. Sona had just finished telling Rias about Ryo Ohki's invitation.
"A new devil?" Rias asked. "How did they manage to enter Kuoh without us knowing?"
"I'm not sure." Sona says. "But from what that Ryo Ohki woman said, they couldn't have been here for more than a few days."
"And this devil is inviting us to a welcome party?" Akeno asked.
"That's what that woman said." Tsubaki says.
Rias puts a hand to her chin in thought. "Is there anything you can tell us about this new devil Sona?"
"I'm afraid not." Sona says while shaking her head.
"Which means you could be walking into a trap." Rias says. "But this new devil extended an invitation to me as well."
Akeno looks at Rias. "What are you thinking Bucho?"
"...Well, a new devil has extended an invitation to us." Rias says. "It'd be rude to ignore it. What about your peerage Sona?"
"Unfortunately, everyone else has a prior engagement." Sona says. "Only Tsubaki and Saji can make it."
"Then the rest of us well have to be back up." Rias says. "Just in case."
"I appreciate it, Rias." Sona says. "Thank you."
"Of course." Rias says with a smile. "What are friends for?"
Sona gives a small smile. "Speaking of friends..." Sona pulls out her bracelet and shows it to Rias. "Do you still have yours?"
Upon seeing the bracelet, both Rias and Akeno smile sadly. Rias goes to her desk and opens a drawer. She then pulls out a blue bracelet with a red star charm.
"I never leave home without it." Rias says.
Akeno reaches into her pocket and pulls out a black bracelet with a violet lightning bolt charm. Akeno then traces her fingers on the charm.
"Today's her birthday." Akeno says. "...She'd be the same age as us now."
Tsubaki looks at the two Kings and her fellow Queen in confusion. "Excuse me. But who are you talking about?"
"...Just an old friend." Sona says after a pause.
Later that night, Rias and her peerage as well as Sona and her Queen and Pawn are seen walking down a street. Earlier, Rias had informed her peerage about the situation with a new devil. The group was making their way to the address given to them. They would've used a magic circle to teleport to their destination, but when they tried, they found out that a barrier was in place to prevent uninvited guest.
"So, some new devil just moved into Kuoh without us knowing?" Issei asked.
"But how can a devil just move in without any of us detecting them?" Saji asked.
"We don't know." Rias says. "But what's concerning is that they were able to do this without the Maous knowledge. Otherwise, they would've told us."
"But...if this person is inviting us to a party, then maybe they're friendly." Asia says optimistically.
"We can only hope Asia." Rias says. "But a new devil arriving in our territory bares investigation. For all we know, this could be a trap to have us assassinated."
Rias' statement puts everyone on guard.
"There are many in the underworld or any of the other factions that would profit on the deaths of a Maous sibling." Sona says.
"Don't worry Bucho! I'll protect you!" Issei says in determination. He then grins lecherously while sneaking a peek at Rias' breasts. "And your oppai!"
Rias smiles at her Pawns words. Whether she knew about his real thoughts are unclear.
"We all will." Akeno says. The rest of Rias' peerage nods in determination.
"We'll protect you too Kaicho!" Saji says.
Tsubaki nods as well with Sona returning the gesture.
Sona looks at the note with the address on it. She then looks around before looking towards the group.
"We should be close." Sona says.
After taking a few more steps, the group a gate in front of them. Along with a woman standing in front of it. As if she was waiting for them. This woman that can be best described as an elegant, snow-white skinned, black-pony tailed beauty. She wears a white bonnet in and black armor decorated in gold and silver in the likeness of a maid uniform.
The woman notices the groups approach and turns to them.
"Good evening." The woman says. "Might you be the Gremory and Sitri group?"
"Yes, we are." Rias says. "I am Rias Gremory." She then gestures to her peerage. "This is my peerage."
"And I am Sona Sitri." Sona says while adjusting her glasses. "Unfortunately, my entire peerage couldn't be present tonight."
The maid regards them for a few moments. "Then I bid you welcome." The maid bows. "I am Narberal Gamma. One of the maids serving under my master."
Narberal places her hand on the gate. Her hand briefly gives off a blue glow before the gate opens. "Please follow me. My master eagerly awaits your arrival. Oh, and Gremory-sama?"
"Yes?" Rias asks.
"Do make sure to keep your peerage in check." Narberal says. She then points at Issei without even looking at him. "That one has been staring at my chest since he arrived."
Everyone turns to see Issei, true enough, staring at Narberal's chest with a lecherous look. He snaps out of it however once he realizes he's been caught. Issei's fellow peerage members groan at Issei's perverted nature while Sona and her group looks at the boy in disgust. Though Saji wouldn't admit that he was checking the maid out too. Causing Issei to shrink away.
The group steps into the courtyard. A few of the devils can't help but marvel at the estate. *Picture the Joestar Mansion*
"Wow." Asia says in wonder. "This place looks as nice as Bucho's summer home."
"Yeah." Issei says. He then looks around in confusion. "For some reason...this place looks familiar. Like I've seen it somewhere before."
"I'm getting the same feeling." Rias says.
Narberal stops walking. Making the others stop as well. She then gestures to the backyard. "The party is set up in the backyard. This way, please."
Narberal leads the young devils to the backyard. Once there, the group sees many tables and chairs. But to their confusion, nobody else was there.
"Huh? Where is everyone?" Issei asked. "Aren't there supposed to be drinks? Food?" Issei then gives a perverted grin. "Chicks in sexy outfits?"
"I advise you to get your HEAD out of whatever playboy fantasy you're dreaming of." Narberal sternly says. "Before I remove it."
Issei gulps before his hands go to protect his...jewels.
Narberal's eyes suddenly widen slightly before putting a hand to her ear. After a few seconds, she turns to the young devils.
"I've just been informed that my master is on her way." Naberal says. She then bows. "Please wait here."
Narberal turns around and walks into the mansion. As the young devils wait, they begin to feel antsy.
"I don't like this, Bucho." Akeno says. "It's too quiet."
"I agree." Tsubaki says. "If we weren't sure this was a trap, I'd say we were right now."
As the young devils warily look around, Koneko suddenly stiffens up. Something that Rias notices.
"What is it, Koneko?" Rias asks.
"...We're not alone." Koneko says while narrowing her eyes.
At Koneko's warning, the young devils group up back-to-back. Issei, Kiba and Saji ready their Sacred Gears, Akeno dons her priestess outfit and Tsubaki readies her Naginata.
"So, this WAS a trap." Akeno says.
"Koneko, can you sense where the enemy is?" Rias asks,
"...No." Koneko says while glancing left and right. "I could before, but now it seems like they've disappeared."
"Which means one of two things." Sona says. "Their ability to hide is astonishing. Or they let you sense them."
Given Koneko's "hidden" nature, she's a natural at sensing a person's energy. Among other things. However, whoever is watching the group now may have let the white haired loli sense them on purpose. Letting Koneko know that the assailant could strike at any time. They're good. That's a fact.
For a while, the group stood in silence. Just as Issei was about to speak, the sound of glass shattering rings out. The devils turn in the direction of the noise to see nine cloaked individuals. There were a few things the young devils could figure out about the new arrivals. They varied in stature, they were devils themselves and judging by their build, they were females. Something Issei took notice of.
After observing and analyzing the new devils, Rias steps forward.
"Who are you?" Rias asks. "From your signatures, you're clearly devils. Are you strays? Or are you part of someone's peerage?"
The cloaked devils remain silent. One of the shorter ones, which made it appear that she was in charge then steps forward. Rias and her friends remain on guard as they watch. Koneko in particular stares at one the mystery devils. Unknown to her friends that she sensed another source of energy within this particular one. An energy that she is both fearful and familiar with.
"One of them...has chakra!" Koneko thinks with wide eyes.
The lead mystery devil raises her hand. Revealing her pale skin. She then snaps her fingers. As one, the mystery devils charge forward while the leader stays still and folds her arms. Their target? Rias and the others.
"Looks like they're not here to talk!" Kiba says.
The mystery devils engage Rias and the others. Kiba had his hands full with two sword wielders. One was tall and used a double-edged red and bronze short sword. The other was shorter and used a black longsword with strange symbols.
Kiba dodges a swipe to the head from black sword wielder before blocking a strike from the one with the double-edge sword. The two exchange blows, but Kiba finds himself losing ground.
"This level of swordsmanship... She's good." Kiba thinks.
Kiba manages to push his foe back. Just in time for Tsubaki to attempt a sneak attack. Unfortunately, the black sword wielder had other plans. The mystery devil blocks Tsubaki's attack and pushes her back. Leaving Kiba to deal with her comrade. Tsubaki then begins to cross blades with her opponent. The two seem evenly matched until Tsubaki catches her foe off guard with a blow to the chest. Tsubaki then lunges at her foe.
"Got her." Tsubaki thinks.
Time seems to slow down as Tsubaki's blade nears her foes chest. However, the mystery devil shockingly manages to deflect Tsubaki's strike at the last minute.
"How?!" Tsubaki thinks in shock.
Tsubaki doesn't have time to think about what just happened however, as her opponents sword begins to emit a purple glow. In her shock, Tsubaki is unable to defend herself as she is struck ten times to the chest. Each blow felt as if Tsubaki was hit by a truck. The last thing Tsubaki could see was her opponent lunging at her before she loses consciousness.
Meanwhile, things weren't going well for Kiba. His opponent proved to be leagues above him in terms of swordplay. Not to mention that almost every time he crossed blades with her, it felt as if his sword was being pulled in another direction. Just as Kiba tries to go for an overhead strike, the unknown devil shocks him by having a bronze shield appear on her left arm. The devil blocks the strike and forces Kiba off her. She then flings her shield at him, which Kiba manages to dodge. He then uses his speed to get within his opponents guard.
"You're not bad." Kiba says with a charming smile. "But this fight is over."
As Kiba prepares to finish of his opponent, the unknown devil surprises him by making a "come on" gesture with her left hand. Kiba looks behind him to see his opponents shield rushing back at him.
"Uh oh!" Kiba thinks with wide eyes.
While Kiba and Tsubaki were dealing with their opponents, Koneko had her hands full with two foes at once. One of them was wearing red gloves as far as she could tell. But it was the other one, the chakra user she sensed, that put Koneko on defense. This particular one used a pair of crossed tonfas. While Koneko got in a few shots at the other devil, this one seemed to dance around each of her attacks.
Koneko and the tonfa user block each other blows. The white haired loli then arrows her eyes.
"Who are you?" Koneko sternly asks. "Why do you use chakra?"
The unknown devil seems surprised at Koneko's question. Just before anymore can be said, Koneko's other opponent appears above her with her fist at the ready. Both Koneko and to tonfa user jump back as the other devil strikes the ground. Making a sizable crater.
The bare fisted devil looks to her comrade. As if they had a silent conversation, the two nod at each other before facing their opponent. The two unknown devils then make hand motions as two spheres of energy form. They then fire the spheres at Koneko who was unprepared for the attack. All Koneko could do was cross her arms and brace for impact.
Someone in the heavens must've hated Issei. Because he had three opponents to deal with. One had a pair of handguns and was taking shots at him. Another had a large purple blade with silver accents and was trying to cleave him in two. But the worst of them all was the short one who was currently beating him up with a freaking umbrella! And what was worse was that none of Issei's opponents let him get close enough to use his infamous "Dress Break".
Saji and Sona would've helped the boy, but they were pinned down by another unknown devil that fired a green laser out of her swords. The swords themselves seemed to float behind the unknown devil.
Just as the cry of a "Boost" rang, Issei was forced to dodge a swipe to the face from the umbrella user.
"Okay, it's payback time!" Issei exclaims.
A ball of energy forms in front of Issei's armored hand. "Dragon Shot!"
Issei punches the sphere and launches the bullet-like blast at his three opponents. To his surprise however, the handgun user and the sword user regroup behind the umbrella user. The devil then opens her umbrella and blocks Issei's attack. Much to his shock.
"How'd she do that?!" Issei exclaims.
[That's no ordinary umbrella.] The dragon within the Boosted Gear says.
"What?" Issei says. "You mean it's some kind of Sacred Gear?"
[No, but it's definitely been enchanted.] Ddraig says. [Same with the sword user's weapon. The handguns feel like a Sacred Gear, but there's something strange about them.]
Before Issei can question Ddraig any further, the umbrella user rushes forward. She then jumps into the air and in an incredible display of flexibility, grabs Issei's head with her legs and throws him into a tree.
The umbrella user walks to Issei just as he tries to stand up. Though, the perverted grin on his face was something to be worried about.
"Heh heh." Issei deliriously says. "Stripes. Nice."
Apparently, Issei managed to sneak a peek up the mystery devils cloak. Said devil then knocks Issei out with a side kick to the face.
"Issei!" Asia exclaims in worry.
Asia rushes to her friend/secret crush but is stopped by the unknown devils. The former nun stares fearfully at the three devils, but to her surprise the group steps aside and gestures to Issei. Asia looks at them in confusion, but quickly bows before moving to heal Issei.
While everyone else was busy fighting, Rias, Akeno and Sona were witnessing their friends/peerage members get taken down. Rias however, notices that the leader of the unknown devils hasn't moved from her spot. Which raised a red flag to the Kings mind.
"That one hasn't moved at all." Rias thinks. "She's either confident that she's not needed or is unable to fight." Rias then narrows her eyes. "That may be our only chance."
Rias glances her Queen. "Akeno."
The Priestess of Thunder looks to her King. Said King gestures to the mystery devils leader with her eyes.
Getting the silent message, Akeno nods. "Got it."
Rias and Akeno unfold their wings and take to the skies. Rias fires her PoD at the unknown devil while Aken attacks with her lightning. As the combined attack draws closer to the unknown devil, said target simply looks at the impending danger. The mystery devil then raises a reddish-black shield that negates Rias and Akeno's combined assault. Much to their shock.
"That's not possible!" Rias exclaims in disbelief.
"It's one thing to block my lightning." Akeno says. "But to block your Power of Destruction so easily?"
As the shield goes down, the mystery devil looks at Rias and Akeno. She then does something that infuriates them. She brings her hand to her mouth as if she was yawning. To Rias and Akeno, it meant that the unknown devil wasn't taking them seriously.
"Cocky, isn't she?" Akeno says with a smile that promised pain.
"I doubt that shield can protect her from both sides." Rias says low enough for Akeno to hear. "Divide and conquer."
Akeno nods. She then flies towards the unknown devil and fires a bolt of lightning. To Akeno's shock, the mystery devil responds by seemingly turning her body intangible. Making the bolt of lightning miss it's target. Undeterred, Akeno continues her assault. Giving Rias the time she needs to sneak behind her foe. The red-haired devil then beings to charge her magic power.
After another lightning bolt fails to hit her, the mystery devil waves her finger at Akeno as if scolding her. To her confusion however, Akeno simply smirks.
"I wouldn't stand there if I were you." Akeno says.
"CHECKMATE!"
The mystery devil quickly turns around at the sound of the voice. Just in time to see Rias blast her with what seems to be nearly all of her power. Causing a huge explosion that makes everyone stop what they were doing. Those who were just waking up look at the scene with wide eyes. Rias and Akeno then land on the ground and retract their wings.
"Did you get her?" Akeno asks.
"I... think so." Rias says while breathing heavily.
The dust settles to reveal the remains of a stone dome. The last piece of the dome crumbles to reveal the mystery devil damaged. And shacking with rage with her head lowered.
"How?!" Rias exclaims in shock and disbelief.
"She hit her with nearly everything she had." Sona says in shock. "How is she still standing?"
"Those stone walls must've protected her from most of the impact." Saji says.
The unknown devil continues to shake angrily. She then looks at Rias and Akeno with glowing red eyes. Her comrades look at their leader with apprehension and concern. A red aura begins to surround the unknown devil as she raises her left hand. To Rias' groups shock, white energy begins to form in the devils hand. Forming into the shape of a lance. But that's not what worried them most.
"That's... Holy energy!" Akeno exclaims in fear.
"A devil that can use holy powers?!" Rias exclaims. She then glances at her Queen. "You don't think...?"
"No. She isn't one of THEM." Akeno says with her anger hidden.
Everyone present could feel the amount of holy energy in the lance. Almost like just looking at it could burn them. To their horror, the mystery devil prepares to throw the holy lance. That is, if it wasn't for a hand to suddenly appear and grip the mystery devils own hand.
"That's enough." A female voice says.
The unknown devil turns to glare at the intruder, only for her eyes to widen as she stares into a pair of purple eyes.
"Calm down." The woman says calmly but sternly. "Now."
The mystery devil stares at the woman for a moment before nodding slowly. The holy lance then begins to dissipate until it finally vanishes.
Rias and her group then take the time to look at the new arrival. She is a tall curvaceous young woman with white skin, purple eyes, long bushy auburn hair and a buxom figure. Which even in this serious moment, Issei drools over.
The woman's outfit consisted of a short white sleeveless jacket, on top of a sleeveless, short blue and red checker pattern turtleneck that exposes her midriff with a matching skirt. She also wears opaque black stockings, black detached arm sleeves and blue and red heel boots. The woman accessorizes with gold hoop earrings.
The woman in question releases her hold on the mystery devil. Said devil seems to lower her head in shame.
"Feel better?" The woman asks. The unknown devil responds with a nod. "Good." The woman then Gibb's smacks the devil upside her head. The unknown devil grabs her head in pain.
"I told you NOT to go overboard, didn't I?" The woman says while waving her finger in a scolding manner. "This was supposed to be a test, yet you almost use THAT on them? Don't go flying off the handle just because someone got the drop on you. It happens to all of us. Understand?"
The mystery devil nods frantically.
The woman sighs while pinching the bridge of her nose. "What am I gonna do with you?"
Rias and her group look on in confusion. Though Rias, Akeno and Sona feel suspicious of the woman before them.
The woman then looks to the rest of the mystery devils. "Alright you guys. Fall in."
Almost instantly, the unknown devils move to stand in front of the woman at attention. The woman regards the devils in front of her with a stern expression. That expression then morphs into a soft smile as the woman props up her right arm with her left hand. "So? How'd they do?"
The mystery devils look amongst themselves before turning back to the woman.
"They performed admirably, but there's still room for improvement." The tallest mystery devil says.
"Tch, yeah right." Says a devil with a tomboyish voice. "They're a total mess."
The woman slightly narrows her eyes. "Explain."
"The Rook over there had multiple chances to turn the tables on us." The tomboy says. "But she held herself back. And the Gremory's Bishop was too scared to do anything." The devil jabs her thumb at the devil beside her. "Though, the Rook did catch on to nuts for brains over here."
Koneko flinches slightly. "Does she know?"
The devil the tomboy was talking about rounds over to her comrade. "Hey, back off!"
The woman ignores the two bickering devils and addresses the others. "Anything else?"
"Well..." Says one of the shorter devils. "The Sitri heiresses Queen was pretty good. With the right training, she could be better. But from what I saw from the Gremory's knight, there's a lot of work to do. He fights like there's a chip on his shoulder."
The woman glances at the tallest devil. "Is that true?"
"...Yes." The devil says with reluctance. "It was as if something was...holding him back. I'm sorry to say, but his blades felt...dull."
Kiba narrows his eyes at the devils comments.
"I didn't see much from miss Sitri and her Pawn." One of the devils says with an energetic voice. "But I could tell there is some room to grow."
"Though Gremory's Pawn has his work cut out for him." A devil says. "The whole time we were fighting, it felt like he was trying to undress us with his eyes."
Issei looks like a deer caught in a pair of headlights at the devils comment.
"Tell me about it." The tomboy says. "If he spent less time trying to see a pair of boobs and more time training, he might be able to put up a decent fight. He's perverted." An imaginary arrow with the word "Pervert" strikes Issei's heart. "He's weak." An arrow with the word "Weak" strikes Issei. "And just plain sad." Issei crumbles as Asia frets.
"I see." The woman says. She then looks to the shortest devil. Said devil happens to be the one she was scolding earlier. "And the other two?"
"The Gremory's Queen held herself back as well." The devil says with a haughty voice. She then shakes her head. "Quite embarrassing really. And the King herself is a one trick pony. Her moves are too predictable."
"Excuse me!" Rias says finally having enough. "I don't know who you think you are, but I will not tolerate such disrespect towards my servants."
The woman gains a neutral expression as she turns around and raises an eyebrow at Rias. "Servants? I thought you Gremory's treated your peerage like family."
"I do." Rias says with conviction as she walks towards the woman. "And if you insult them any further, then you will have to deal with me."
The woman and Rias stare at one another. The woman looks directly into Rias' eyes. As if trying to find something. After a few seconds the woman closes her eyes and smiles.
"You're still the same as ever." The woman says in nostalgia. "Stubborn and loyal to a fault."
The womans comment takes Rias by surprise. The woman then opens her eyes. Never losing her smile.
"It's good to see you haven't changed... Red." The woman says.
Rias' eyes widen in shock. Akeno and Sona not far behind her. The remaining members of the group look at their respective Kings in confusion.
"...Wha- What did you just call me?" Rias says in suspicion.
"Come on!" The woman playfully says with her hands on her hips. "Don't tell me you don't recognize me. Maybe this well jog your memory."
The woman raises her left arm. Revealing a silver charm bracelet with the letters S, E, R, R and A.
"It can't be..." Akeno says with a whisper. Though she whispered, the people around her could still hear her.
"It's impossible." Sona says in disbelief and slight hope.
Rias stares at the charm in shock. She then looks at the woman. As she looks at her, an image of a little girl with bushy auburn hair and purple eyes flashes in Rias' mind.
Only one person could have that bracelet. Because it was a charm bracelet Rias was very familiar with. A gift from her, Akeno, Sona and another person years ago.
"...Euphy?" Rias asks hopefully.
"Long time no see." Euphy says with a smile.
Rias' eyes start to water as she holds her hands to her mouth. Many emotions begin to fill her. Happiness. Joy. But theirs one emotion that Rias feels the most. Anger. That emotion shows as Rias balls her fist and starts shaking. Her hair slowly waves around as a red aura appears around her. Euphy sees this action and begins to pale. But before she can say anything...
"BAKA!" Rias exclaims as she hits Euphy with a demonic empowered slap. Said slap sends Euphy flying into a tree. Rias then stalks towards the downed girl who rubs her cheek.
"How could you do that to me?!" Rias says as she proceeds to stomp on Euphy comedically. "Do you understand how devastated I was?! I thought you were dead!"
Shaking from her stupor, Akeno then races towards the two devils.
"Hey, save some for me!" Akeno says.
As Akeno joins in on Euphy's beatdown, Sona looks on. She then sighs while adjusting her glasses. After a moment, Sona follows Rias and Akeno's lead.
"Move over!" Sona says.
The other devils present stare at the scene with shock and confusion. Akeno you could expect this action from. But Sona and Rias?
"I was not ready for today." Saji says with a sweat drop.
"I don't think any of us were." Issei says.
After a few more seconds, Rias, Akeno and Sona halt their assault. The three of them breathing heavily. Euphy on the other hand is on the ground covered with bruises which appear to be healing. She then stands up and cracks her neck.
"Got that out of your systems?" Euphy dryly asks.
"Yes, I believe we have." Rias says with a frown. That frown turns to a smile as she suddenly hugs Euphy. Akeno and Sona joining them.
"We've missed you so much." Akeno says. She then gains a mischievous grin as she pokes one of Euphy's breast. "Looks like you've grown a lot since we last saw you."
"A-Aki, cut it out!" Euphy stutters.
"You better have a good explanation for what you put us through." Sona says with a slight glare.
"R-right, So-chan." Euphy says with a sweat drop.
"Uh, Bucho?" Issei asks. Rias then looks at her Pawn and her peerage as Issei continues. "What's going on here? Do you all know each other?"
Rias, Akeno, Sona and Euphy look towards each other. As one, they let go of each other.
Rias then clears her throat. "Sorry. Allow me to explain." Rias gestures to Euphy. "This is Euphemia Marchosias. Heiress to the Marchosias devil clan. One of the 72 Pillars of the underworld."
"She's also a close friend of ours." Akeno says.
"Although, we assumed the Marchosias clan had perished long ago." Sona says while adjusting her glasses. "We were led to believe Euphy was dead."
"Look, I said I'll explain everything." Euphemia says. She then moves back towards the mystery devils.
Rias, Akeno and Sona walk back to their respective peerages.
"First, let me apologize for tricking you all." Euphemia says. "I just wanted to see my old friends peerages in action."
"So, this was all a test?" Tsubaki asks.
"That's right." Euphemia says. "Now, as Red said, my name's Euphemia Marchosias. Please call me Euphy. Any friends of Red's, Aki's and So-chan's are friends of mine."
"Red?" Issei says in confusion. "Aki?"
"So-chan?" Saji says with confusion as well.
"Those are my nicknames for them." Euphy says. She then looks towards her best friends. "So, you guys gonna introduce me to your peerages?"
"Of course." Rias says as she gestures to her peerage. "Allow me to introduce my Rook, Koneko Toujou."
"Sup." The white haired loli says in monotone.
"My Knight, Kiba Yuuto." Rias says.
"Pleased to meet you." Kiba says.
"My Bishop, Aisa Argento."
"Nice to meet you." Asia says with a smile.
"And finally, my Pawn, Issei Hyoudou." Rias says.
"Uh, nice to meet you." Issei says with a bow.
"I guess I'm next then." Sona says. "Unfortunately, the rest of my peerage couldn't be here tonight. However, let me introduce my Queen, Tsubaki Shinra and my Pawn, Saji Genshirou."
"Nice to meet you all." Euphy says.
Rias turns her attention to the cloaked devils. "I take it this is your peerage, Euphy?"
"I didn't even know you had your own set of Evil Pieces." Sona says.
"Well... I got my set on...THAT day." Euphy says with a slight frown.
Rias, Akeno and Sona grimace. Knowing what their friend was talking about. Euphy's bad mood however quickly disappears as she gestures to her peerage.
"Well, now it's our turn!" Euphy says. "Everyone, it's showtime!"
As one, the mystery devils remove their cloaks. Revealing their identities for all to see.
The first one to introduce herself is a young woman with lavender hair and red-violet eyes. Her hair goes down to the base of her neck with two long strands on either side of her head which go down to the top of her breasts. She has two freckles on her left breast inside her cleavage.
The woman wears a lilac-color, strapless dress with a black piece of fabric going across the breasts and down to her stomach, below an intricate coat. This coat is made up of violet and plum shaded components, reaching as far down as the hem of her dress but also leaving some areas open which expose the dress below. Above that she wears a collar of the same violet of her coat, outlined in lavender with a red jewel securing the collar in place. It appears that the components that go over her detached black sleeves are connected to this collar. These components that go over the black sleeves appear to cover them completely except for at the wrist and hand where it joins to her finger. The woman wears plum stockings with whorls etched on. They go up under the dress and are connected by something triangular.
"Heya, I'm Strea Aincrad!" Strea says. "Euphy-chi's Pawn! Nice to meet you!"
The next to introduce themself is a young girl with long back length blond hair and green eyes. Her long hair flows freely with the two blue hairpieces on opposite sides of her head. She wears a white collar and a short red tie, white gloves, a sleeveless collared blue cloth with gold lining and has a short skirt. She also wears two large holsters on her back, which house her guns.
"I'm Noel Vermillion." Noel says shyly. "Euphemia's Pawn. It's nice to meet you."
Next up is a girl of short stature with an interesting look. Her hair color is typically half pink and half brown with white streaks on the pink side. Her left eye color is brown while her right eye is a pale pink color. She also wears green eyeshadow.
The girl's outfit consists of a chocolate brown jacket that starts just below her shoulders and above her chest and has a pink interior, two brown belt shoulder straps and twin gray button seams. She wears a gray scarf and a white three gray button-up vest style top that is strapless and cropped exposing her midriff. She also wears a pair of chocolate brown detached sleeves with puffy tops and pink trim alongside a pair of white funnel cuffed gloves with gray button detailing. She also wears white belted pants and black and white spat styled ankle boots with cutout detail just above the ankle. The back of her jacket has a small, coned ice cream keychain that is usually covered by her hair. To complete her outfit, the girl wears a black bowler hat with a small feather tucked into its red band.
The girl says nothing as gives a mocking bow with her umbrella. Rias and her group look at her in confusion. Euphy then eases their concerns.
"That's Neopolitan." Euphy says. "Neo for short. She's my last Pawn. She doesn't talk."
Neo then pulls out a sign that says "Charmed, I'm sure." out of nowhere. Much to the other devils confusion.
"Yeah... none of us know how she does that either." Euphy says with a sweat drop.
The next person to introduce themself is a young slim girl with pointed ears. She has milky white with a hint of purple skin, lustrous and gorgeous, long, purplish-black hair and red eyes.
She wears obsidian chest armor, a bluebottle violet tunic and a windswept skirt of the same color beneath the armor. A thin black sheath hangs on her waist.
"Hey, what's up?" The girl says with a bright smile. "I'm Yuuki Kono. Eu-chan's Knight."
Next is a tall, slightly muscular young woman with fair skin and long red hair. She wears a golden imperial roman leaf headband under her hair and has light-green eyeshadow around the far upper corners of her green eyes.
The woman wears a black corset with a gold trim, a thin black gorget around her neck, an elastic black A-line mini skirt and black opera-length gloves on both arms. She wears a red ankle-length sash that wraps around her skirt with a gold-plated belt. The plate has an emblem that displays a spear. She also wears lace trim black socks that stop at her mid-thigh and black high-heeled flow down ankle boots with a gold trim. To complete her outfit, the woman wears gold greaves that start below her mid-thigh before continuing downwards into her boots. She also wears a pair of cuisses that began mid-thigh and ended slightly above her knees and a gold bracer on her left arm.
"It's nice to meet you. I'm Pyrrha Nikos. Euphemia's Knight." Pyrrha says.
Next up is a young girl with long orange hair that curls inward at the tips with an ahoge on top, bright green eyes, light skin and freckles. She wears a black fabric bow under a pink metal bow that has a golden outlined green orb.
The girls outfit consists of a olive green German styled dress with a black hem that is striped with emerald green. The abdominal region is black with four golden buttons with matching buckles on her shoulder straps. She also wears an off-white blouse with puffy shoulders, frilled flared cuffs and vertical black lining down the front center. Around her collar is a black ribbon.
The girl wears black stockings that run-up to her thighs with a green stripe that runs down the sides and a large green circle at the top and a small one at the bottom. She also wears flat, black shoes.
"Sal-u-taions new friends!" The girls says with a salute. "My name is Penny Polendina! I am Euphy's Bishop! It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Up next is a young squirrel yokai with short brown hair, a big curly brown tail, hazel eyes and large breasts. Which Issei and Saji nearly faint at the sight of. The girls outfit may things worse. The outfit in question is a orange fighter top showing the bottom-half of her bosom, two tonfas, black strap panties with an orange skirt-like cloth that allows most of her buttocks to escape, long black stockings, and orange small boots with yellow toes.
"Nice to meet ya." The girl says while leaning forward with her hands on her hips. Her tail swishing back and forth. "I'm Euphy's Rook, Makoto Nanaya."
After Makoto is a young woman with brown eyes and pink hair in a side ponytail with two daisy clips. She wears a kimono-like shirt with one sleeve missing. Her body is very athletic, toned but not overly muscular. She has the appearance of a cheerful, young teenager.
"The name's Benitsubasa." Benitsubasa says. "I'm a Rook."
"And last but not least, my Queen." Euphy says as she gestures to said person.
Although, upon seeing the one in question, Rias and Sona gasp in shock.
The Queen has the appearance of a buxom fourteen-year-old girl that is best described as a true beauty. She has pale shiny skin, seductive crimson-red eyes and fine facial features. Her silver hair is tied in a ponytail through a large ribbon on top of it all, allowing others a full view of her face.
She wears a soft black evening dress with a big heavy skirt. Her upper body is dressed in a lace embellished ribbon and a short, tailored jacket. Her hands are donned with long lace gloves, not exposing any bit of skin exterior.
"Greetings everyone." The girl says with a curtsy. "I am Shalltear Bloodfallen. Euphemia-sama's Queen."
"Shalltear... Bloodfallen?!" Rias fearfully exclaims.
"The Bloody Valkyrie!?" Sona exclaims.
Issei, who was muttering "Not another peerage of hot chicks!", catches on to Sona and Rias' words.
"Bloody Valkyrie?" Issei asks. "What's that about?"
Rias looks at her Pawn for a moment before turning her gaze back to Shalltear. She then narrows her eyes. "Shalltear Bloodfallen. A.K.A the Bloody Valkyrie. She's a vampire and a dangerous one at that."
"Wait, seriously?!" Issei asks in shock.
"A vampire?" Aisa asks.
"She not JUST a vampire." Sona says with a slight edge. "She's a Daywalker. A vampire immune to sunlight. And...an S-class criminal."
Shalltear simply smiles. Exposing her fangs. "My my. It seems my reputation proceeds me."
"What do you mean she's a criminal?" Tsubaki asks.
"Because she is." Rias says. "Shalltear's responsible for the death's of millions. Human and devil alike. It's how she gained her title, Bloody Valkyrie."
"Euphy, how could you make someone like her a member of your peerage?" Sona asks.
"You've got nothing to worry about." Euphy calmly says. She continues, interrupting any protests from Rias and Sona. "Yes, Shalltear has done a lot of bad things. But you have my word as the heiress of the Marchosias clan that she is not your enemy."
"Explain." Sona says with a slight glare.
"Sorry, but you'll have to wait until tomorrow to hear the story." Euphy says.
"Why?" Rias asks.
"Because, Shalltear's story ties into how we survived the extinction of our clan." Euphy says. "We're heading to the underworld tomorrow to explain things to the Maous. Among other things."
"Wait, we?" Rias asks.
"My, it certainly is lively out here." A female voice says.
Everyone present turns their attention to the back door of the mansion. Approaching the group is the maid Narberal. Along with her is a tall, curvaceous woman with blue eyes, glasses and long bushy auburn hair.
She wears a lab coat, glasses, a pair of hoop earrings, a sleeveless, blue and red short dress with opaque black tights, black arm sleeves and blue and red heel boots. She also has a gold ring on her left middle finger and black nails.
Looking at the woman, you can see the similarities to her and Euphy. Issei's first reaction to her however...
"Whoa, mama!" Issei thinks while sneaking a peek at the woman's chest.
As for Rias, Akeno and Sona's reactions...
"Selene-sama!" Rias, Akeno and Sona exclaim in shock.
"You know her?" Asia innocently asks.
"We do." Rias says. "This is Selene Marchosias. She's Euphy's mother."
"WHAT?!" Issei exclaims in shock and disbelief. He then points at Euphy. "Her mother?! She looks young enough to be her sister!"
Selene giggles with a hand to her mouth. "How nice of you to say that." Selene turns her attention to Rias, Akeno and Sona. "It's good to see you three again. You've all grown up."
"It's nice to see you too Selene-sama." Akeno says with a smile.
"Indeed." Rias says.
"Selene-sama, if you are here, does that mean...?" Sona says.
Selene gains a sad smile as she shakes her head. "I'm afraid not."
"I see." Sona says with sympathy. "My apologies."
Rias and Akeno mirroring Sona's expression.
"But that would make you the clan head now, right?" Rias asks.
"Yes." Selene says. "At least until Euphy takes over."
"Anyway!" Euphy says getting everyone's attention. "As I was saying. Mom and I are heading to the underworld to meet with the Maous tomorrow. There's a lot of things to cover and we'd rather not have to explain everything more than once." Euphy looks to the backdoor as a few maids walk out with trays of food. "Until then, this IS a party. A celebration of meeting old friends and making new ones."
"And don't worry about staying too late." Selene says. "All of you are welcome to stay the night."
The young devils express their gratitude. Issei gains a perverted, but devious look. "A mansion full of hot girls? The guys would kill for this chance!"
"Also, the guys will have their own room in the west wing." Euphy says. "The rest of us will have the east wing all to ourselves."
Hearing the news causes Issei's fantasy to shatter. "NOOOOOO!"
"And..." Euphy says as she turns to Narberal. "Narberal will be in charge of the west wing tonight. If you guys need anything, just ask her."
Issei slumps in despair. As if sensing his mood, Narberal sends Issei a dark smirk that makes him shake in fear.
"Thank you Euphy." Rias says. "But there's something that's been bothering me."
"Hm?" Euphy says. "What's up Red?"
"Your mansion." Rias says. "I can't help but feel like I've seen it before. I can't place where."
Euphy freezes and gains a sheepish look. Her peerage looks at her in amusement.
"I'm afraid that's your doing Rias." Selene says with a smile. "After all, you corrupted her."
"I'm...sorry?" Rias asks in confusion.
Selene gestures to the mansion as Euphy looks down with her hair shadowing her eyes. "This mansion is a replica of a mansion used in one of Euphy's anime. I believe it was called...Jojo?"
...
"You modeled your home after the Joestar Mansion?!" Rias exclaims after a moment of silence.
"Yakamashi!" Euphy exclaims with a glare. "Quit being a pain in the ass Red!"
Everyone stares at Euphy with wide eyes. Someone talking to Rias like that? It's shocking. Rias' reaction however made everyone but a few face fault.
"Hai!" Rias exclaims with a smile.
And done! My first story of the new year.
Now then, explanations. Euphy is basically the daughter of Android 21(Selene). If anyone's read Legendary-Nioh's fanfic "Child of 21", Selene was the name chosen for 21. I got permission from Legendary-Nioh to use the name. Euphy's outfit is basically an altered version of 21's outfit.
My OC's name is based on- You guessed it- Code Geass' Euphemia. I chose the name Marchosias because I just got finished re-watching Shakugan no Shana. Marchosias was one of my favorite characters.
Yes, Narberal is from the Overlord anime. Most of the Pleiades Battle Maids will be in this story as maids for Euphy and Selene. Mainly the ones shown in the anime.
As you've probably guessed, Euphy is an Otaku thanks to Rias "corrupting" her. Hence why Euphy's mansion is modeled after the Joestar Mansion. There will be times when Euphy will use scenes/phrases from the JoJo series as well as other anime.
The Gibbs smack is from NCIS.
Ryo-Ohki is from the Tenchi Myou series.
Now, Euphy's peerage.
King: Euphemia Marchosias
Queen(Mutation): Shalltear Bloodfallen(Overlord)
Rook: Benitsubasa(Sekirei)
Rook: Makoto Nanaya(Blazblue)

Knight: Yuuki Kono(SAO)

Selene has her own peerage as well and will be revealed as the story progresses.
Next chapter will cover Euphy's trip to the underworld, who she really is and who Euphy plans to make her final Bishop.
Until then, ja nee! And Happy New Year!
