The Fortunate Ones

Chapter Fourteen: Legacy of the Great Journey

The tale of one's beginning is one that should be told. The SINS however shall have their legacy written for all to see for no one is more worthy of such an honor. This is where the ideals and foundation of a kingdom became the beacon of hope all across the world. And where sacrifice builds hope for a tomorrow.

SINS Kingdom (Where we last left off)

(Author's POV)

"What do you mean by 'the final page to Solomon's testament has begun'?" Sirzechs asked, getting confused and worried about this topic he'd never heard of before.

The rest of the devils and younglings weren't that far off from him, as they too didn't know much about the 'whole' story in the SINS case. Cynder turned to look at her children who looked up with query.

"It's very simple. King Solomon was given the very knowledge of God himself. All of his books lead to a plot which to say is the very truth of our very existence. Every detail about creation to how everyone came to be and will leave has all been written down. The books used to reincarnate Vindel and his first mate were the last books in his testament. Now we are moving to his final stage."

"The stage of cleansing." Vader spoke up, standing in front of his throne. "God, who was presumed 'dead', is actually dead. The one in heaven who the rest of the gods and angels including Michael and the rest of the Archangels are being deceived. Rather, my siblings do know however should they give notice of it they too will lose their lives."

The news that someone was controlling heaven from the shadows while pretending to be God was to say the least: devastating. However most devils and other factions already know of God's death, but not the actual cause. They still believe God died in their great war. Which wasn't the case what so ever.

Even other gods, Vader along with his mate and siblings fell for the masquerade for a good amount of time. Enough time for whoever is pulling the strings to finish the game board. The puppeteer, rather the game master has played them all like pieces in their own twisted game of their own creation.

"What do you suggest we do about it then? We clearly aren't in the same league as you SINS or you Greek gods." Rias pointed out. "We are very much out classed by everyone in this room, the only thing we'd be good for is taking care of weaker opponents."

"Now don't think too lightly of yourselves." Cynder began. "True you aren't much of a threat alone… However this opponent has many lackeys. I'm not saying that all you're good for is them, but I am going to tell you that in order to prevent the deaths of many, you're assistance is required. Our numbers are too few in force. If we were to go to war right now, everyone in this kingdom let alone Hell will surely be at risk."

"You must understand that it pains me to do this, but I must ask for your assistance." Vader stood up and walked down to them, and bowed before them. "Despite our power, our position is to protect our family, our loved ones and our people. We can't do it alone anymore."

It took everyone a moment to realize why Vader's esteem was far below average. The truth of the matter was: the last time Vader fought to protect his family, he nearly wiped out everything in the process. What was only a few years ago for the SINS would be considered a large chunk of someone's life. Everyone who raised their hands and weapons against Vader, died. And don't let him deceive you; he is very much a kind hearted being with a heart for the innocent.

Before the attack on the castle in Ireland, they had to flee from their kingdom due to a massive genocide which despite many civilians surviving, Vader lost control at one point which destroyed most of the capital. The whole reason why he appointed guards was so the whole responsibility was spread out more. He didn't want to hear he was too late, or was too aggressive. Both of which cost the lives of numerous beings.

"It'll be hard for the masses to accept him as their protector when he's all alone. As you already know, the only ones who remained loyal were the elite guard. The entire legion and army have completely dispersed. With soo few amount of guards and even having our allies assist us, we are very short on numbers. We couldn't possibly cover the entire kingdom with this size of a force." Cynder said as she turned to Athena and Hades.

"These old friends have been more than kind to us, and have offered many warriors to aid us. They however won't be able to stay very long… A week at most. With the only dragon offspring that weren't killed, our kingdom will no longer be known as the 'Land of Dragons'. The younglings are all alone and have no parents to watch over them, so they will be kept with the main family and treated as though they were blood. We owe them as such…"

Sarah looked up at her mother, to see her so sad yet strong made her wonder if she'd ever be as good once her time came. Will she be able to keep up the throne? Or will it be better to let Vindel take it? Those thoughts popped up in her head, true all of them were going to have an equal share in the kingdom, but Vindel seems to be the only one who knows how to be a leader. They were still little kids compared to him, not that he didn't hang out with them.

"So you are just asking if we can just go around the kingdom and act like guards? Or am I missing the point?" the Satan said as he tried to make it seem as if he had a higher duty to attend to.

"Sirzechs…" He looked to Hades who called out to him. "If you're not interested," he pointed to the door behind him. "There's the door. We don't need to keep you busy. Just go if you wish. You won't be held or regarded in any less fashion That goes for everyone else in this room."

The Crimson Maou made no signs of anger or that of an emotional change but a very old and wise eye could see he was trembling. He was backing out not because of the fear of losing his own life, but getting another war to start out which would make all the other wars look like a kindergartener fight. Everything he knew was at risk of being changed. He couldn't allow himself to be involved, figuring more might join the cause against the SINS simply because of him.

"Thank you." He said in his normal tone and straight face.

He turned around and walked out, his family following. The guards who lined the room made way for the devils and fell back into their positions once the doors closed behind the visitors. The only devils that remained were Rias' peerage as her parents followed her brother out. Titan sighed but laughed a little.

"He made the right choice. Same with those royals. It's better to keep the current underworld leadership at bay, who knows who might become rats…" he chuckled. "Time is running short, the King and Queen need to get a move on or their plans might be set back another month." He said louder, directing the statement to those at the Throne.

Rias couldn't say anything since it was true. Not doubting her family, the is fact that once the word slips or is found out that the Crimson Satan is aiding the SINS then chaos would spread out all over. As for the plans the SINS had made, she had no idea what Titan was getting at.

"So I ask on the behalf of my children, will you aid this kingdom? Will you aid us into reclaiming our homeland and protect the innocent? Will you help us in our darkest hour?"

Rias didn't even to ask her friends, everyone thought the same and believed that no matter what, they'd never abandon their friends.

"We will try our best. We might not be as good or as well suited as you SINS or the Saints or Specters, but we will not leave our friends behind. You can count on our support." The guards in the room lifted their pikes and slammed the butt of their weapons on the ground: the signal of their support was absolute.

Cynder smiled and Vader nodded as he left the throne room and went to deal with business elsewhere. Sarah and the rest of the female dragonesses gathered around Rias and her peerage as walked out to the courtyard which was already cleaned up. The guards went to their destinations, leaving the Elite guard free for the time being. The men and women totaled in sixteen bodies, each of them being a warrior more than worthy of their title of Elite. They were all warriors from the kingdom, all bread to be nearly perfect.

Little know about them however… Some tales say the guard has hand more than six thousand years of a perfect record. Never losing a single troop, not losing a single battle. Not even losing their target. Truly flawless in their field, no one could ever match them. They had avowed their loyalty however to the one who they saw to be above all: Vader. When he decided to take a guard, he personally trained with those who would one day be known as his Elite guard. So everyone who remained from their last blood bath which resulted in their very first causalities, were more determined now than ever to fulfill their goal.

"Well that was the shortest lecture I've ever gotten… I wonder if my room is still the way I left it?" Astrea said walking to her room. "I'll talk to you guys later!" She thought hard about what was in her room… Lots of toys she couldn't wait to play with. Still a little princess at heart

"She hasn't changed at all in all these years… She just wants to play with her toys." Kotori said making Issei think about what she meant by 'toys'.

Sensing his perverted thoughts, the two twins punched him in the face, knocking him out cold. Both yelled out; "Pervert!" The poor fool had no chance, and no one asked why he got knocked out. Only Asia got to his side and applied healing. Elle and Sarah noticed that out of all of the devils, the only one who is bound to Issei's hip is the nun. Then again all those that came from the church fell for him, even the angel friend of his.

"I think Issei has found his true mate. Even perverts like him get them huh?" Elle said as she chuckled, having Sarah join her.

The eldest ones of the group: Sarah and Elle, left walking side by side talking and laughing as though the day was just beginning. All that were left now were the devils, Jessica and the twins. The twins seemed to be rather locked in on something but kept to themselves as they soon walked away as well.

"Well, looks like everyone is leaving… What a drag." Jessica turned to the devils who before she could've said anything, left as well. "Why the fuck is everyone leaving me?!"

"I'm still here…"

"No one cares Willy." She turned to one of the very few guards who remained loyal to the SINS.

The elite guardsman: Willy Moderate was one of the finest warriors in all the lands. He stood around six foot one, with a lean body. His hair was dirty blonde, cut-short in the front as it gave him a militaristic look. He was the newest of the Elite Guard, and now one of the dreadfully few elite guards of the SINS Empire. He happened to be roughly the same age as Dante and was thought to be the new captain of the guard. Yet other's came out of retirement put a pause on his promotion.

Now he was just a guardsman who was responsible for looking after Jessica as her own personal guard. Yet she basically made him a butler instead… How the mighty have fallen. It was all Vader's idea too… He wanted someone close to her age rather than an old timer who wasn't as up to date with today's times.

"Say Willy, can you lead me to my room? It'll be the first time I've ever been in my actual room." She thought about it.

It was the first time she was going to see her room… Granted the room was meant for her when she was going to be born, but everything was delayed because of those who wished harm to her and her family. Another reason why she was so much younger than the rest of her siblings, she cursed those responsible and vowed she would make them pay with their very blood.

"Yes princess." He bowed his head and lead the way to her room.

It was very late, well early in the morning. A normal girl would get tired of all the dancing she did, not to mention the flying. Yet all she wanted was a break in her very own room. Away from the outside world and others who she kept more than a arms reach from. Out of everyone she's ever known, those outside of her family: Willy was the only person she could ever trust.

"So those who are behind this whole ordeal thought about this plan of theirs for centuries… The question is who is left? Who still remains from the group responsible for the great devastation?"

"I have no clue princess, but I assure you, I will always put the royal family above all. If so be it, my life is to be a stepping stone for the better world."

"Stop talking like that!" She raised her voice making the knight shake a bit. "Stop acting as though you're just a weapon! You have your own soul and will, make sure to use it!"

"Princess…"

"Willy, you are indeed a royal knight. An Elite guard who's duty is to protect the kingdom and royal family. Yet I refuse to let you go around and think nothing of yourself than a soulless solider! You need to realize that from the moment you were born, you had the right to be something of greatness. You are a shield not only for those who you serve, but for those who one day you will call family."

Willy didn't reply, instead he just bowed his head and left her alone at her room they arrived at as she finished her little speech. Jessica didn't say anything more as she could tell her words hit the knight hard. However to hear that his life wasn't that of just a soldier, but of a dear living being who mattered in the world just woken his tiny flame of self encouragement.

"Thank you for always being there for me Willy, I appreciate it. Now go rest, you deserve a break for all your hard work." She said even though he vanished in the shadows, knowing he was still keeping watch over her.

Jessica looked at her door, the very first time she's ever seen it. The large, ten foot tall wooden door had her name engraved into it. This was to be her room she was denied for so long… She lowered her head, her bands now covering her face. Her green hair hid the tears that began to form and roll down her cheeks.

"I've waited for this… I can't believe I finally get to sleep in my actual room…" She turned the knob, and opened the door slowly.

With some muffled tears and cries, she gazed upon her room. The young girl did a slow spin, taking in every inch of her walls. Right above her Romanian designed bed frame, was a portrait painted of her the very day she was born. Next to it in a smaller frame was her and her siblings: having her being held high on her brother Dante's shoulders as everyone else gathered around. To the left in another equally sized frame was the whole family portrait.

The young heiress smiled as she kept crying, she finally felt like she belonged and wasn't just a baby in the family. She was as important as any other member, and they all loved her more than the world. For once in her life: Jessica felt blessed to be born into such a twisted and cruel world. All because she knows her family will always be there for her.

"Thank you everyone… I love you all." She jumped into her bed as her tiredness consumed her.

Morning came by slow, and all the females of the SINS family were still asleep. Dante and Akeno were still on their honeymoon till later tonight when the Era Hollows has it's cleansing. Knowing full well that Dante was going to be a key part to their next strategy, Cynder and Vader were going to leave the rest of the kingdom in Vindel's hands and care once he arrives. Once he arrives, they will go and wait for Dante's return and inform him of their new attack plans.

All the clocks in the kingdom tolled, conforming the time was now nine. The guards did their changing of the guard, now having more Saints and Specters walk around during the day rather than the night. On the outer rim: at least four villages have recovered with their inhabitants along with some of the stores that opened back up. Many civilians began to go about their everyday lives just like they used to. This made the king and queen smile, feeling proud and joyful that their kingdom is returning back to normal. One neighborhood at a time, one town by day, and then the capital will be restored.

The castle was the beacon for the SINS people. Just how a countryman fights for his land and family: seeing their nation's flag hang above the land is more powerful than most people can even realize. It proves no one is alone, no one is forgotten. Faith itself is something no one can deny another nor could they explain where it comes from.

When it was destroyed and the kingdom ablaze, all hope was fading away faster than one could take. Many of those who didn't die during the evacuation either committed suicide or left, hoping not to be chased down by those who attacked the kingdom. Sadly less than twenty percent of those who ran survived the hunt.

As Vader and his wife walk out of their castle, they head to a memorial that was built not that long ago just outside of the main market and the SINS house of worship. It was a few blocks away but that didn't bother the ageless dragons. They took in the sights around them like they used to soo many years ago.

"I can't say this place brings back good memories, well not till this part of the kingdom becomes populated once more." Vader thought about a bakery which he even claimed made the best desserts.

"You just miss the sweet shops." Cynder slapped him on the back, making him almost fall face first into the ground. "Oops, did I actually hit you that hard? My bad love." She giggled to herself.

"No! I-I just wasn't expecting that, that's all!" He yelled, not wanting to be thought weak but failing at it. "Glad no one saw that, my rep would have been ruined…"

"Well sorry, I tend to forget my strength time and time again." Cynder stuck out her tongue making Vader grit his teeth.

"Stop teasing me! It's not that funny…" He pouted; both of them started acting like their kids. "Well, we know where our kids get their spunk from huh?"

"They are without a doubt our little monsters. But I don't mind. Heck we both still act like teens when no one is around. It feels good to relax and chill a bit." Cynder wrapped her arms around Vader, and leaned her forehead against his. "I remember our first kiss started off like this…"

"Care to remind me?" Vader smirked before they brought their lips together.

The two of them began to take it a bit far but before they realized it, they'd bumped into one of the guardsmen who were stationed in that area. The female muttered a quick sorry before bowing and heading in the opposite direction. Her voice left a moment in their heads as they thought it sounded familiar.

"Elle?" Cynder asked.

The guard than stopped on her heels and turned around, taking of her helmet. Cynder was right on the head. She smirked as she wanted to give herself a high-five for being right. But that thought dissipated when she wanted to know why Elle was in that getup.

"I just wanted to walk around without anybody realizing it's me. If I go to the outer rim, then they'd know I'm the princess. I just want to see things like those around us, not as a royal figure head."

"So you want to go see the villages?" Elle nodded. "I don't see why not, sure go ahead. Just make sure you're back at the castle when Dante arrives. Our attack will begin once everyone is up to date with the situation."

"Thanks mom. I'll see you two soon then." Elle smiled and walked a good ten meters before turning back once more with a smile. "Oh and dad…" He looked at her. "Happy Fathers day!" The young dragoness then took off like a rocket to the outer rim, going to explore the villages that once again came back.

The father smiled at his young daughter. It was weird, having a girl who looks about the same age as you call you father. He waved goodbye to his daughter and then got back to business. They proceeded to the memorial which was outlined with many gravestones. The whole memorial took up a hill range, consisting of over one hundred thousand tombstones. One area was dedicated to the civilians who died in the most recent event. Another area was dedicated to those who fought on the behalf of the kingdom. The smallest section was built in honor of the guards who fought alone on the battlefield before having their greatest moment of glory smited down.

The design of the memorial was to be a regular graveyard, but one that was organized. Despite the many tombstones, most of the coffins lacked a body. Instead, many urns were placed inside. Some being the ashes of an entire family.

"Well, time to see an old friend." Vader walked slowly, his head hung high.

He thought about what an old friend of his once told him. 'What makes a king, a True King?' The old man he once thought to be someone of great passion turned out to be of some strict calling. 'Does a king ever stand alone?' At first Vader didn't know how to reply to his long time friend. He asked Vader these questions once, and he never got the chance to answer him. It was many centuries ago, but Vader could still remember… Oh he remembered all too well.

X_X (FLASHBACK: Somewhere in the Indian Ocean hundreds of years ago.)

Two dragons flew in the sky. Both of them headed to an old friend of theirs who happened to request them to join him for a feast. The three of them go way back, they practically knew each other the moment countries began to form along with the human race coming to knowledge of those above them.

Their friend happened to be one of the first fallen Archangels: Otto. He was thought to be a traitor early on in Heaven, so he was casted out of Heaven and came to earth to make his new home. Many of those who believed in him followed him, having the same sin bare their name. Over time it was revealed that he had no ill attentions, but what he proposed went against God's very will. He wanted to show the world that even though God existed, he wasn't the only 'god'. Heck most of the world came to realize this as his knowledge spread across the lands.

When they arrived to the event, the fortress was nothing short of a mass murder. Those that were Otto's angels were being killed by angels from Heaven who were sent down to eliminate the threat. Keeping their distance, since at the time they too were on bad terms with God, they had no other option so they decided to sit back and watch as the prey tried to fight off the predator.

Luckily, they managed to hold off the assault however they took heavy losses. Vader and Cynder reverted to their 'human' forms and walked among those on the ground. The angles seemed to be very lethal and aimed for the heart and head above the rest of the selection.

"Things are getting worse huh? I wonder who led the attack this time." Otto said to his friends who just arrived. "Glad to see you've made it."

"Sorry about not helping." Cynder said.

"I know why, don't blame yourselves. This whole event all started because I wanted to share my knowledge with the humans. Those who followed me didn't need to follow me because simply because of my rank, but because what I speak is the truth. My invite to you two however seems to have been at a bad time, my apologizes."

"As you wish my friend, but no apology is necessary. From now on, you can count on our support."

Otto nodded and made a hand gesture; calling a solider over to his side. With a few words, he left towards a door and opened it as a stretcher came by holding a wounded warrior on it. From one could clearly see, there was little hope left for the poor soul. Otto sighed as he rested his hand on the male's chest. The young fallen angel looked up with his hazy eyes, a smile on his face as he said his final goodbyes to this life.

The two caring the stretcher sped away once the passing of the short and young life. Otto then continued to go inside and proceeded out just a few moments later. He carried with him a solid wooden chest with gold trimmings. With a heave, he tossed the chest on the table and began to open the box.

Inside were books numbered one through eight. Vader and Cynder were puzzled and wanted to figure out what was the purpose of these books. With a heavy laugh, the man laughed, tossing one book to each of them.

"Does those names ring any bells?" he pointed to the cover whilst passing over the remaining six books.

"Names…?" Cynder asked, getting her eyes glued to the eight names. "Why these are the names we picked for our…"

"Those books were written thousands of years ago. God along with most of the other soon to be well-known gods created them when they all gathered together during the universe conception. With those who saw into the future, they noted down these eight names, your offspring who will one day create the perfect world." He played with his red beard. "One of the gods even gave me a look into the future… All I can say is keep going and don't stop."

"You believe those visions that much?"

"I do Vader. I do so much that I'm going to end my little chat and get to business. You came here for a feast, however the only feast you'll be having is one of knowledge."

Vader sighed, he was really looking forward to food, but he had to stop acting like a teen and more like the dragon god he is. he passed up his chance to look at the books, that is all but Vindel's since he was indeed born a few decades ago. So far the book only had up to this point of his life, and not a day more.

"So we can only see up to now?"

"Yes, that is if you have a direct part in their life. Someone who will never meet them however will see everything. Since you're his parents, you'll not see much since it will alter what fate as in motion. But from what I can tell you, your legacy will live through your children till the end of time. Just fight for their sake and that of your ideals."

Vader and Cynder listened more and when the time came, they left to go back home to their infant son. Only the names remained, names they'd picked once they thought about how many kids they'd want.

Years passed since their last encounter with Otto, yet when they met again, it would be the last time. When news came that Otto was down just to a few of his forces the SINS raced to his location, hoping to aid their friend in need. When they arrived, they were greeted by many lower ranking gods from across the world. Most knew better than to pick a fight with them, but the youngest were quickly being eradicated.

Once a fair amount of the gods were killed or injured, they landed in the fallen angel camp. From the decent amount of troops that Otto had before, now he was down to a few hand fulls. Yet what was more upsetting was the fact out of those who remained, they were all women and children.

"Ever imagine that things would turn out this way? Kinda ironic if you want to think about it. Here I am, the one who was banished from Heaven for wanting to spread the knowledge of the gods to the world, now being hunted by those who I fought for." Otto tried to laugh, coughing up blood as he did.

"Otto, we need to get you and your men out of here. There's no reason to stay-" Otto wouldn't let Cynder finish.

"Please my friends don't think too lightly of me. If we were to retreat now, then all those who have given soo much would've died for nothing. The only ones who can leave are the women and children. Please take them, they are both young and innocent enough were they can't be held for the actions of their elders." He looked at a rather ominous female angel who had six wings. "I just hope one day the next generation can grow up in a peaceful world." The female angle whipped her tears from her purple eyes and turned away from the man.

The other black winged angels turned to their leader, all of them with fear and regret clearly pasted on their faces. The words they had heard brought some of them down to their knees. No one wanted to leave the grounds, however no one wanted to die.

"I heard a few of your guardsmen have need of companions, and I can assure you everyone here is a worthy ally. Take them in; treat them like family and they will do great things."

Otto spit out some blood and began to wipe his chin with his arm. He still had his ever so bright smile as he stared at the gods and angels before him. If what they say: 'you don't truly live till you die,' than this was the very moment a warrior such as Otto looked forward to. His moment of glory will last forever in those who stood behind, against, and most importantly with him.

"Ever wonder what makes a king a true king?" He asked to no one in particular. "Does a king ever stand alone?"

Everyone around him remained quiet, trying to figure out why he was speaking gibberish. With another laugh which brought up even more blood, Otto smiled at the sky above.

"A true King is one who lives out to the hearts and ideals of his people. Never forget those who died next to you or by your own hand. The moment you do, you become an empty shell, not even recognizable of your past self." He jumped into the air with his injured body, his wings barely keeping him steady.

"As for the last part… A king never stands alone, he is to have his queen at his side and together they shall take the world by storm. One is incomplete without the other, and together they are whole." He smiled down at his friends below, knowing they didn't hear anything he said.
"Should've said that before coming up here huh… Hmph, I guess this will be my final dance."

He once more turned to those below him, and with as much strength as he could muster, bellowed his final will and testament.

"I release my men and people to your care. I bless them with a joyful life, one where they will live the best life they wish. Thank you all for staying by my side till the end, each one of you give me the strength to fight. Vader. Cynder. You have the mantle now, everything that once was mine is truly yours now. Make me conceited."

Despite what Vader told the fallen archangel, he could not fight on his behalf now that both God and the devils are after him and his family. The only way he could make it up to the dying man was to honor his will. With a silent movement, everyone who was able to leave left with the dragons via magic circle. Those that stayed were the older warriors who already were too wounded enough to travel. Nevertheless, despite their broken bones and scars, they joined their fearless leader and rushed to their certain doom.

While doing so, the laughed and sang. They rejoiced when they lost and arm, they shouted with glee as they got vaporized. When just Otto was left he for once in his life frowned with tears in his eyes.

"I do hope my wife bares a healthy son… He will one day rise above the ranks and help light our darkest hour." He backhanded a goddess and sent her smashing into a group of more and followed it up with a lightning bolt. "Weren't gods supposed to be stronger than angels?" He joked knowing lesser gods had no chance in a fair fight against him. "Good thing there's a whole battalion of ya." The man rushed to a glorious death.

Vader and Cynder felt the sudden loss of life sky rocket, realizing Otto went out with a major bang. Vader gritted his teeth and punched the ground, causing a large up rift of ground to rise above the land around it. He repeated the process till a whole mountain side appeared to outline the outskirts of the kingdoms walls.

Cynder looked down at her feet also gritting her teeth. The queen turned her attention to her husband and then to the landscape around them. He changed the very land itself so now a mountain was all around the kingdoms outer walls, leaving clear paths to the gates which were obviously needed.

"We currently are still building some of the inner towns so in the meantime these grounds around the walls will have to suffice. I will have guards along with medical staff arrive to deal with your needs. When the chance comes, you'll all be relocated to the castle for a few days while your houses will be built." Vader didn't look at anyone, and just started walking towards his castle.

Cynder remained still, watching her husband and best friend deal with the emotional loss. The fallen angels all gathered around her, and the female who had the direct attention of Otto came forward and began her little statement.

"Lady Cynder, I know it's been a while but I like to say it's nice to see you again." Cynder looked the girl up and down and stopped once she reached the girls face.

"Gertrud?" The younger female smiled.

"Listen up, everyone!" They turned to the six winged fallen angel. "Now that Otto has fallen, our new master and king are Vader of the SINS Kingdom." No one said a word as they bowed before her. "I will do what is right, and promise to keep Otto's ideals alive! For his Ideals are the very same that founded the SINS Kingdom!" They looked to the SINS for conformation, and their honest sad smiles confirmed everything.

From that day on, the fallen angels who converted to the SINS became quite proud of their decision. They were offered a safe home: a place they had no need to fear for their lives. Together with the dragon gods, they formed a very stern and respected kingdom that's military strength could rival both the armies Heaven and Hell. More and more dragons came to the kingdom, some befriending their gods.

More centuries past, Vindel was already in a relationship with a young devil and seemed to be getting along very well with her twin older sisters. Both Vader and Cynder were glad to see things were heading in a positive direction and continued their roles as the royal family.

Gertrud's child, a boy named Leonardo inherited everything from his mother. Leonardo was a younger friend of Vindel's and the two of them did spend some time together when they got the chance. Yet as they grew older, they separated more and more as they each went down their own path. Leonardo became what his mother was, a royal guard for the royal family. He rose through the ranks and stopped right below his ageless mother who hadn't aged a day since she gave birth to him.

Vindel clearly went on his adventures, honing his skills and powers which over time he'd one day master. However the two childhood friends never met again as the next time they saw each other- rather the next time Vindel saw Leonardo: he was lying on his mother's shield right in front of her. Gertrud was in the verge of tears as she gently brushed his hair. Vindel was off set and a few yards away before he ran to their position.

It was supposed to be a normal diplomatic mission… he was supposed to escort those who came from another territory safely here so they could meet with the royal family. Yet those who showed up at the half way point did indeed turn out to be the ambassadors. Their attentions however were far from a peaceful one.

Devils and demons from one of the noble devil houses had arrived with the attention in killing the so called 'elite guard'. Having accomplish such a task would not only make the SINS look weak, but will boost their own credit. So they brought a large enough force to kill their escort who they'd thought to be at least twenty guards. Instead only two guards were sent to meet them: Gertrud and Leonardo. When they arrived they thought nothing of the twenty devils in front of them as they all dressed in noble robes. Everything changed quickly as magic circles began to pop up all around them, even in the sky.

Now well over eighty hostile forces glared at the two fallen angels. They laughed and cursed at the two 'puny' little angels who weren't going to last a single minute against their barrage. Gertrud cursed as they walked into their trap. Both mother and son brought forth their armament and took their stand. If they were against anyone below a noble house then they'd should be able to last very easily. The only concern they had was their huge forty to one odds…

Twenty minutes passed as the mother and son tag team killed all the demons and devils. Victory was their today and they smiled at one another. Just as they began to wipe off their tools: with victory so close…

Unknown to everyone, a dragon with immense power arrived and made a move on the dark haired female. Seeing the attack coming and only waiting for her demise, Gertrud embraced for the final moment just to be pushed out of the way as her son took the hit in her place. The claw which the dragon brought down into his flesh tore a rip in not only his armor and skin, but his wings.

Leonardo's bellow shook the grounds, letting those in a good five mile radius hear his pain. The warrior fell to his knees and dropped his weapons. He coughed up blood and his vision became hazy. The dragon roared loud and brought himself down to the ground, flapping his wings causing the bodies in the area to take flight. The beast laughed at the sight before him. he mocked the two fallen angels, calling them weak and pathetic.

The insults kept coming, and when Leonardo collapsed Gertrud pulled her son into her lap. Her tears rained down on his face, his eyes closed as his heart started coming to a stop. The moment it stopped, the moment any mother would dread… She lost it. Her pain turned to anger and she placed his head on her shield lightly. Her canines drew blood as she glared into the very soul of the dragon. The dragon failed to faultier; instead he brought his head back and prepared his next attack.

Gertrud lowered her head as her bangs now covered her eyes. She mumbled something under her breath before a bolt of red lightning came crashing down on the dragon. The dragon was now on the defensive as more and more bolts rained down all around him, making it very hard to dodge. Nevertheless his efforts failed to keep him safe. The onslaught was endless and all that could be seen was the bright red explosions.

The dragon now was coughing up blood that evaporated due to the mass heat. The mother wouldn't be satisfied with such a pathetic repayment. The volley increased, blowing the wings of the dragon off, giving the smell of burnt meat. The smell of the meat turned the normal noble warrior into a beast. She lunged at the dragon, ripping apart his body with her canines, and razor sharp claws.

As the dragon brought his maw to her, fire began to form and release towards the female. Instead of having any effect, the attack was showed right back down his throat with a large bolt of lightning pushing it all the way through his body, exploding at his lungs. The dragon gasped for air as she continued to fire more and more down his swollen throat. Next where his intestines, followed by his bowels and kidneys. Every organ in the dragon was rendered nonexistent as no traces were ever left that they'd even existed.

Bloody tears rolled down his face as he collapsed on the ground. The last he saw was her looking straight into his large eyes. She spit his own blood right into his hazy eye and brought forth her personal weapon of choice: a scythe. With no emotion she brought it down, ending the dragon's pain. She dropped her scythe and ran to her dying child.

She brought her ear to his chest, finding a slow beating heart. Believing there was still hope she began to perform healing magic which sealed up his wounds very quickly. His breathing however stopped a while ago and she began to perform CPR on her only child. A half hour of trying to save her son came up empty as his eyes lost their light.

Vindel was now in front of his friend, not understanding how this could've happened. The raven haired female didn't bother looking up at the prince. What good does it do now? She failed protecting her lover and now their son was dying in her own lap. Knowing that the only thing she could do now was join her two boys. Yet before she could do anything, something halted her efforts.

"M-mother…" Leonardo brought up his hand to her cheek with a weak smile. "I'm sorry I wasn't able to become a great warrior like you. But maybe now it's my time to say I'm so happy I had a mother like you."

She thought about his words. Growing up, she was all he ever had. His father was dead before he was even born and he had no other relatives. She raised him to be a though individual who became an expert in all his fields. She molded him to become the perfect warrior, one that would honor his family's name and legacy. The day she gave birth to him, was the day the unthinkable happened, her husband apparently sealed a massive power within her while they had sex, causing her to grow another two pairs of wings.

She became a fallen angle with ten wings in total, two less than her late husband. This was his final gift to her: a son and this new power she would have to protect the ones she loved. Never once in her live was she ever happier. Even in death Otto cared for her, that alone is enough encouragement to keep living on. The boy in her arms was her prefect little angel (pun). She could see all the great things he would accomplish…

"I love you mom. Please don't be sad…" He coughed a little more as he made his last statement. "I'm just glad you're safe. Now it's time to meet my father… I can hear him call to me."

"Go to him!" She cried. "Go, you have done enough. I'm so proud of you. I am blessed to have been your mother. Go tell your father about all the wonderful times we had." He smiled.

"I couldn't have asked for a better son. That's why I made up my mind." She said as her son lost the remaining life force he had. "I will join you two." She said.

Vindel did not move. He had no right to interfere in her decision. She turned for the first time to the prince who stood by, watching these final moments go down. She smiled at the young prince.

"It seems that our guests had no attention of becoming allies." She made a small chuckle. "We fought well… Tell your parents about today. Tell them that despite the results, we remained strong. To chose death of my own free will is my finally duty not as a soldier, but as a mother who is on her way home to her loved ones."

"I will." Vindel tightened his fist before bringing his hand up to salute his warriors.

He backed away as a sphere engulfed the female who held her son to her chest. The two of them then disappeared, gone from this world of the living. Vindel had now let his emotions take rain and fell to his knees. He lost his best friend… He failed in his duties as a SINS to protect his people. He went home soon after, informing his parents of the event. Cynder smashed a pillar into pieces as Vader threw his throne all the way across the room and into the wall, having it wedged into the ceiling/wall.

Those who sent the 'guests' were greeted within two hours with the three royal heads. All anyone could describe the inevitable outcome was pure hell. No one was left in the whole territory. The men, the women and even the children were executed like animals. This however did not please the mighty dragons hunger as they proceeded to hunt down those who supported the noble devil's attack. It was fairly easy getting the word out about the traitors and those who talked were still killed, just after they watched their friends and allies die.

There was no mercy granted from the SINS. Everyone heard about their ferocious assault, and those who were smaller and weaker than the noble house who betrayed the SINS trust cut their ideas of trying to overthrow them. There was no point. Only two… Only two warriors from their kingdom personally dealt with one of the top five devil pillars forces like they were children. The remaining pillars had a meeting to discuss the events and demanded that the SINS compensate for their actions.

They received a letter along with thirty dead messengers which they sent to the SINS Kingdom. The letter simply stated that if they want to be compensated, they were more than welcome to try and force their way. The devils were pissed. So taking up on the SINS offer, they'd come together and sent a large and massive army towards their enemy. Realizing they'd have war if the SINS did not come to their terms.

This time instead of the 'guests' meeting two elite guards, they were met up with seventy of them. Those who were there all happened to be very close friends with Leonardo, and all of them were females lined up to be potential bridal material for the male. In fact each one of them knew the male as they all spent many decades training and just growing up together. Just like his friend Vindel, Leonardo was a ladies' man minus the perverted nature. Despite the fact he never really tried to understand anything regarding romantic relationships, his innocence and personality brought out the best in those who fell for him.

And now with these heartbroken females lined up against those who did this to their beloved friend and brother; there was no hope for the devils. The female fallen angels are charged into combat, killing everyone who dared wish harm to the SINS Kingdom. Living up to the elite guards name and rep, no one died and they left no sign of any hostile forces.

This was the beginning of the golden era for the SINS Kingdom. The great journey which many have given their lives to has come at last. More joined the ranks and the ever growing family of the Kingdom. Soon Vader created a Dragon temple were he and other dragons were to meet, discuss events and occasionally celebrate new members.

Everything was heading to where Vader and Cynder had hoped: a world of peace, equality and above all else, freedom.

X_X (FLASHBACK END)

Vader made his way to a tombstone which was deep in line with many others surrounding it. He swept away some of the weeds and grass that over grew the stone: making way for those who wanted to read the engraving.

"Here lies Otto, Gertrud, and Leonardo. Even though their bodies have yet to be found, these three have shown the whole world the true definition of loyalty. This family even though they were separated from each other early on, on the very beliefs and ideals which founded the SINS Kingdom. These warriors each made their mark in history and will never be erased from the history books. It was an honor to have fought, and lived together with such heroes." – Lord Vader SINS.

"I believe these three deserve recognition for how much they've contributed to this world. Without them to be role models, many would have never followed us. Their belief and faith in us as granted us the power to free this world from those in power and give it to those who wish to live."

"I wonder what they're thinking right now." Cynder went to her knees next to her husband as she remembered all the fun times she had with her two friends. "Their son is truly remarkable. His will passed onto all the other fallen angels in the world and rallied them to our table. Vindel and him made many friends, but even though they've separated, Vindel will never place anyone other than Leonardo as his best friend."

"They did fight a lot…" Vader laughed. "I can see why though. I feel honored that my son could have made such a friend."

The two stayed silent for a while, paying their respects to those who were their friends. Time passed by and Dante found them while walking back to the castle. Curious as to why they were there, he walked over along with his wife Akeno. His parents picked up his scent instantly but didn't budge. They waited till they finished what they wanted to say and stood up, turning to their son and daughter.

"Hey mom, hey dad." The king and queen smiled at their son and filled him in on what was going down on their way back to the castle.

Akeno saw her mother at the front gate waiting for her along with her father. She ran to her parents which seemed like a long time reunion due to the Era Hollows. The twenty years she had alone with Dante were flawless. She couldn't have imagined anything better.

"Glad you're back. How was your honeymoon?" her mother asked.

Akeno giggled and left with her mother following. Her father waited by the entrance as Azazel and the rest of the heads arrived for this next operation. All Dante could think about is Akeno filling her mother in on what exactly they did on their honeymoon. He turned red from embarrassment and ran inside, following his wife's scent.

Next to arrive was Vindel and his three mates. The three sisters paid their respects to their in-laws and then proceeded to go see the rest of the family who were all currently in the family room right beside the throne room.

"So now all we are waiting for is Hades and Athena. When they arrive we will split our forces."

"We still need Rias and her peerage. If we don't inform them now, we might be able to later." Cynder pointed out, making Vader nod. "They were told to meet up here today around seven. It's twenty of, so they should be here shortly."

Speaking of the devil (pun), the crimson heiress arrived with her full peerage. She wore a confident smile and walked straight up to Vader and Cynder before bowing. They asked her not to be so formal with them as they saw each other as friends. She was honored that they would be so kind to say they were friends.

"Any friends of our children are friends of ours. Please do come in. We have a rather simple task for you to do if you feel up to it." Cynder smiled at them. "All we ask is for you to keep Dante and Akeno company while the rest of us go on our little assault. His sisters also are going on a group mission and should be back rather quick."

Rias thought about it. Was that all? Was she and her peerage only good for company?

"Um, no mean to be rude, but is that the only reason why you wanted us to come here?" She asked.

"To be honest, it's because someone you know spilled the information that you had allied yourself with us. True it's our fault for asking in the first place, but I don't want to tell who gave you up." Vader said in a way which only left one choice.

"My f-family?" Vader sighed but nodded.

"Someone spoke and however it happened we caught the devils lurking around in your territory in Japan. They all confessed that someone on the inside is working against all of us."

"There's a traitor in my own castle?!"

"It may be a servant but I do not believe it's your parents, nephew or sibling. All of them kept their mouth shut. Yet someone did…"

"And you know of this for sure? No one else would have said anything?"

"If they were, we wouldn't have been able to know since they all remained here after the satan and the rest of your family left."

"This doesn't add up…" Issei said, puzzled.

"Simple. The moment the word was spread, everyone was already out scouting your territory. If someone here spoke out, it would not have gotten out so fast."

"Then who could it be?!"

"I'm afraid to tell you this, but someone in your peerage is the defector." Silence befell the group as everyone's face became striked and the devils just got more scared.
