-Living Room, 8 AM, Rias' POV-
Ugh, nothing better than a hangover! I just got woken up by my alarm, and I turned it off. Isabel woke up, and said, "Morning, ready to train Genesis?"
"Yeah, about that, I want you to train him and Issei today."
"What!? You've been wanting to save Isaac for the past couple of weeks, and now the man who could bring you to him is here, you pawn him off to me?!"
The others wake up, and I say, "Calm down, Isabel. I have a feeling things will be calm today. I'm gonna be with Sigrun, so you won't be far."
"And why give me Issei?"
"Well, that boy has been given one of the greatest Sacred Gears in existence, and I don't want that potential wasted. Just try to get him to focus, he tends to get distracted by attractive women."
"Alright….Well, I'm gonna take Asia with me. I'll see you later."
She then got up to take a shower. I yawned, and Asia said, "What are you doing with Sigrun and Makellos?"
"I want to check out Azazel's lab, I figured it would help."
"Good, I was worried about you."
I hugged her, and replied, "No need to worry, Asia. Now make sure Issei doesn't get too distracted."
Ravel then asked, "Lady Rias, may I come with you?"
"Of course, Ravel."
I then got up and took a shower. 15 minutes later, I got out, and both Isabel and Asia were getting ready. I decided to pull up Clark on the holo-screen. "Morning, Rias and Ravel. Where's Asia and Isabel at?"
"They're going to be training Genesis and Issei today."
""I get Genesis, but why Issei? If I remember correctly, you and Isaac didn't want him in."
"Yeah, well, I think it's time we get more firepower. We lost one Sacred Gear, so why not have 2?"
"Good point. And what are you doing?"
"Well, I'm going to check out Azazel's lab and check out his surprise. I figured I could also bring SIgrun and Makellos to tell them some of the details of the war."
"Sounds like a plan. Well, I just sent Aqua on a mission to the Seven Deadly Sins universe, and she's calling me, so I gotta go. Later, Rias."
"Later, Clark." The screen shut off, and I waited for the others to get ready, and also texted Issei and Genesis to be at the mountain training field.
Isabel and Asia then came back, ready to go, and Ravel and I teleported us to the mountain. Before I went to Sigrun's cabin, I said to Isabel, "Have fun, sweetie, and let me know if anything major happens with either of them."
She kissed me and said, "Will do. Love you."
I smiled, and said, "Have fun." I then knocked on the door, and Sigrun answered.
"Morning, Rias. What brings you here?"
"Well, I have my partner Isabel training both Issei and Genesis, so I figured I would come and hang out with you and Makellos. Besides the Fallen Angel General, Azazel wants me to check out some stuff at his lab, so I wanted to check it out with you."
"Oh. Well, that sounds nice. I need to get out of these mountains anyway. Makellos, are you up?"
I looked over to see her waking up. "Uh….What?"
She saw me, and said, "Oh, morning, Lady Gremory."
"Morning. I'm gonna go on a trip with Sigrun, want to come with?"
"Of course, Miss Gremory."
I giggled, and teleported us to the Occult Research Club building, with Sona sitting in my chair. She said, "Nice of you to join us, Rias. What brings you back here?"
"Well, I'm bringing our new guests to the lab. Wanna join us?"
"No thanks, Azazel's presence disturbs me. I'm curious why you're doing all this."
"Well, we can't keep fighting, and I want some help to free Isaac and defeat the Khaos Brigade once and for all."
"I see… Well, I'm glad you have some help from Asgard. Well, I need to attend to some business with Serafall. Have a good day, Rias."
We then left the building, and as we were walking to a conference room on the 2nd floor, I told Sigrun and Makellos, "Last month, we started to repair relationships between the main 3 Supernatural races on Earth: Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils. We had 3 agreements: No more attacks on each other; a shared archive on all past and future knowledge, and a base for each faction on Earth. It turns out Azazel, the ambassador for the Fallen Angels, wanted to build his right in this academy, and use it as a lab. I never bothered to check out his research, but with his vacancy due to the civil war between the Fallen Angels, our somewhat free schedule, and his invitation yesterday, I figured I could see what the dear General has been up to."
We finally got to the lab, and I went to his desk.
-Mountain Training Field, 5 Minutes Ago, Isabel's POV-
I had arrived with Asia and set up the training programs when Genesis arrived. He said, "Morning, Isabel. Rias wanted me to train with some kid."
"Yeah. And sorry she's not here, she's got some Devil business. Now where's Issei-" That's when I felt something grab my right breast! I then turned and punched the bastard!
Some blood exploded from a spot of air, and Issei appeared on the ground. "Ow, dammit! I was just sizing you up."
"You do that again and I'll call the Devil himself, you perv! Now enough. We are here to awaken both of your powers. Genesis, I want you to bring it out now."
"Alright." He then closed his eyes, brought up his right arm, and the Silver Reflection appeared.
Issei replied, "Holy shit! What is this?"
I answered. "This is a rare ability known as a Sacred Gear. When we came by your house over a month ago, you felt pain when that orange-haired guy was near you, right?"
"Yeah, why do you ask?"
"Because you have that power as well. Now I want you to focus and hold up your arm."
He then closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.
-Issei's Mind Space, Issei's POV-
Where the hell? I thought I was up in the mountain. Oh well, now where's that hot blonde chick? All of a sudden, a huge red dragon appeared! I fell to my knees, and said, "Please don't kill me! I won't peep anymore!"
The dragon chuckled, and spoke with a booming voice, "Calm down. I'm not here to kill you. In fact, I'm here to help you and give you more power."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I am Ddraig, the Red Dragon Emperor, and I am your partner in this upcoming war."
"I'm so confused."
He chuckled again. "Wake up, and I'll tell you what you are truly capable of."
"Oh….Ok." I then got out of the Mind Space.
-Mountain Training Field, Isabel's POV-
The kid opened his eyes, and a red gauntlet with a green jewel on the back of the hand appeared on his right arm. "Good job, Issei. Good to know you catch on quick."
He replied, "What are you- Holy shit!"
"Alright, now let's focus on learning what you can do. Go ahead and come at me, Issei." I got in a fighting stance.
"You want me to fight-" I then punched him in the jaw. "What the hell?!"
He then threw a punch, and missed me. "Please kid. I was trained in a powerful martial arts style. You'll have to try harder!"
We kept trading blows, and around us, trees were being blown back a bit, and some were being stripped of bark. He finally hit me in the stomach, and the clothes on my abdomen were stripped.
A bit of blood was on my lip. I wiped it off, and said, "Not bad. I'm gonna take a quick break to heal up. While I do that, I want you to go to that stump with the blue screen, and just hit 'OK.' I already have your training program up. Genesis, once I heal up, we're gonna test out your Sacred Gear."
He replied, "Sounds good."
As I went to Asia, Issei went to the stump, and was fighting the Yoruichi program at a lower level. He started to punch her, but went to try to grab her breast, but it reacted and hit him in the stomach. I wonder when he'll figure it out.
She started to heal me and said, "I see you were holding back in that fight."
"Well, yeah. I don't want to kill Issei. He has no idea what the Boosted Gear can do. However, I see from those trees that he has power he doesn't know about. I just wish he would keep that perverted attitude under control."
"It won't be easy."
"Yeah. Thanks for the help, Asia. Now I gotta help Genesis." I got up, and went to Genesis.
"I guess I'll come at you with everything I got." We both got in fighting stances, and he threw the first punch. It missed, and when I went to counter, he blocked, and I got pushed back.
"Not bad, Genesis. I think you might be a better fighter than Issei. In that case, I'll use a little more power."
I then backed up, and brought out some fire Magic. Once I went to hit him, he blocked, then all of a sudden, there was a huge explosion! I was then blown back and hit a tree. "Well, that was more than I expected!"
-Azazel's Lab, Rias's POV-
I was reading the lab notes about the Glory of Olympus Sacred Gears when I felt a slight shake. Ravel asked, "What was that?"
"I don't know. Let me check with Isabel."
I then called, and she answered. "Hey, Rias. Awesome timing. I think our friend Genesis can reflect Magic. Not only that, but when I hit him with just a small amount of Fire Magic, he amplified it. You made a great choice."
"I guess I did. Wait, that gives me a great idea. Once I'm done at the lab, we'll use that to formulate a plan. But for now, keep training Issei and Genesis."
"Will do, and nice to see you have that old charisma. See you later."
Sigrun asked, "What happened?"
"It seems our new companion, Genesis, can reflect and enhance Magic. I believe we can use that to break into Niflheim."
"I see...Miss Rias, I believe there's a note for you." She then pointed to a desk with a sheet over some objects and a folded up note.
I opened it up.
'Hey Rias,
Ever since Vali handed me those Sacred Gears, I wondered why he gave them to me. But after discovering he is part of the Khaos Brigade, I figured we could use them to our advantage. You can attach and detach at will. Use them in any way you need to, and be sure to save the kid.
Sincerely, Azazel.'
I set the note down, and removed the sheet. All 8 of the Glory of Olympus Sacred Gears were there. I read aloud the intro notes to the Sacred Gears. "The Rocksteady Minotaur is an unstoppable force, though lacking in any magical power."
Next is a silver choker with a screaming skull in the center. I read, "The Siren's Song possesses no real strength, but makes up with great magical power that can subdue any foe."
To the right of it is a gold-maned helmet. "The Nemean Guard has tremendous defensive power, but it has a time limit if you attack with it."
There is a pair of platinum bracelets. "The Remnants of Aegis, when brought together, form a nearly-impenetrable shield for 30 seconds before they short out."
Next up is a silver ring with a sapphire. "Cerci's Ring allows control of rare Magic, but you get lost in madness over time."
After that, we saw a red bow. "Artemis' Bow gifts the user complete focus and skills, but continuous use affects the user with isolation."
The next Sacred Gear was a small purple flask. "Dionysus' Wine produces a vapor of the most potent alcohol, and intoxicated all who inhales it, including the user."
And finally was a black gauntlet. "The Neverending Chaos is the most powerful Sacred Gear in this lineup, rivaling even the Red and White Dragon Emperors. It grants the user immense power, speed, and the ability to drain and possibly erase the enemy. However it corrupts the user with a viscous intent to destroy all."
Sigrun said, "I see we could be very well-equipped, but at a price."
I replied, "Yeah, but we'll have to see what could help in the days to come. Well, in any case, we should get to the others in the mountains. I'm curious about Genesis' power. If he can reflect and enhance Magic, then it could be possible to get into Niflheim."
Ravel said, "Then after you, Lady Rias."
I then made a Magic Circle and teleported us to the Mountains.
-Mountain Training Field, Isabel's POV-
I was sparring with Genesis when I sensed a huge presence. She must be back. "Alright, everyone, come over here."
Just then, Rias appeared in a Magic Circle with Ravel, Sigrun and Makellos. She said, "Hey everyone, I'm back."
"Awesome. As I said before, Genesis' Sacred Gear can reflect and enhance Magic power. When I used a small amount of Fire Magic, he reflected it, and it became a giant explosion!"
"I see. Makellos, did the enchantment around Niflheim contain any foreign magic?"
"Now that I think about it, it did contain some kind of dark aura."
"That's it then. The Khaos Brigade is using a combination of Norse and Devil Magic to seal away the realm. Tonight, we'll use that to our advantage. And it turns out Azazel has been researching the Glory of Olympus Sacred Gears. I think we'll need to use Dionysus' Wine to distract the guards. But for now, train until 4, and then rest until midnight, everyone. Until then, I'll see you tonight, Isabel."
"Sounds good, honey."
We then teleported back home, and we then started planning out the raid.
-Living Room, 4 PM, Rias' POV-
Sigrun, Makellos and I were looking at the layout of Ymir's castle when Isabel and Asia came back. She said, "Hey everyone, I just got back from training Genesis and Issei. Issei won't be useful in this next mission. His perverted nature is too strong for him to focus."
"I figured. Well, I already decided he isn't coming along. It's a stealth mission, and he's a bit too….spirited. The Valkyries and I have come up with a perfect plan to break into the realm, bust out Isaac and Koneko, and hopefully learn some more of their plans."
"Awesome, well, I'm spent from having Issei wail on me with his unrefined strength. It's time for some sleep for tonight's raid."
Sigrun said, "Well, I will see you tonight, and I will wish all of you the best of luck. Makellos, stay with them. I haven't the strength to fight or even travel the Nine Realms anymore."
"Alright, grandmother."
Sigrun then left for her home in the mountains, and Makellos slept with us in our room. "Get ready, you two! We'll save you tonight!"
I looked to Isaac's sword in the corner as I slept.
And with that, Rias has now devised a plan to rescue the others by using Genesis' Sacred the next chapter, Rias and the gang shall break into Niflheim, free them, and discover some plans Vali Lucifer is planning. See you next time!
-Author's Note-
Hey guys. Thanks for reading, and I'm glad I could continue to write this story. We still have a lot to go through to see how Isaac and Rias save the world, and I hope you like what I have planned.
