Hey everyone. Merciless Sun here with the next chapter to How To Start A World Tour! In the last chapter, Rias had discovered what Azazel had been planning in his lab; and everyone has seen that Genesis can reflect and enhance Magic while using the Silver Reflection. In this chapter, Rias and the girls will attempt to rescue Isaac and Koneko in Niflheim.

-Apartment, Midnight, Rias' POV-

We had all woken up, and I had prepared all equipment: My communicator, earpiece, and Dionysus' Wine. Before I left, I said to Ravel and Asia, "Please stay here. I need you to watch over the apartment. Besides, I think Isaac will be happy to see you there."

They both smiled, nodded, and went back to sleep.

I teleported us to the mountains, and there I saw Genesis and Sigrun.

I pulled up the holo-screen, and Clark appeared. " Hey everyone. What are you doing up so late?"

I replied, "Yeah. Sorry I didn't tell you sooner, but during today's training, Isabel and Genesis had discovered that his Sacred Gear can reflect Magic. So we are going to use our own Magic to break into Niflheim, rescue Isaac and Koneko, and hopefully discover some plans."

"Interesting. I need to see what Aqua has to report, and begin when I return."

-Chronal Nexus, Kal-El's POV-

I see Rias is getting ready. So must our other companion. I pulled up Issei's Invisi-Bracelet's GPS. "Alright, time to get his ass in gear."

-Issei Hyodo's Room, Issei's POV-

Hehe, I don't know who this Clark guy is, but I'm loving these pictures of this Mirajane woman! Just as I unzipped my pants, I heard a sound come from my bracelet. "Are you there, Issei? Come in."

I called aloud. "What the hell? Hello."

"Please listen up and put those pictures away. Rias is about to go on a dangerous mission, and she needs you to be her lookout. Now put on the Invisi-Bracelet, and wait until the way forward is available. Just give me a second and….There!"

I put it on, and asked, "Wha-!"

I then got teleported to the mountains. How did that happen!? He said, "Now just stay there until I tell you."

I'm not sure what's happening, but I'll protect you, Rias.

-Mountain Forest, Rias' POV-

Clark had returned, and said, "Alright, Rias. Please begin."

Genesis brought out the Silver Reflection, and got in a defensive position. Makellos then activated a transportation spell, and showed a gateway with prison bars on it.

"Now it's my turn!" I then surrounded my fist in Destruction Energy, and punched the Silver Reflection, and launched the energy back towards me. I dodged it, and it hit the gateway, and in a flash of light, the bars broke. "Great, now let's go!"

We all then went into the portal, and after a series of flashing lights, we finally arrived in Niflheim, a world surrounded by crumbled walls, and a large castle in the distance. Makellos said, "That's Ymir's Castle. Let's go before the realm starts to affect us."

The portal disappeared, and we started walking towards the castle.

-Ymir's Castle Dungeon, Isaac's POV-

I was sleeping when I heard some commotion from Vali and some soldiers. "How did they find us? I thought Kuroka's seal was supposed to be unbreakable!"

"I don't know, sir, but we must stop them."

"Fine, just kill them. We must leave now. Arthur, Kuroka, let's go."

Arthur then unsheathed his sword and sliced open a portal and they all left. The guards then went outside. I think to myself, "Is the rescue squad here? Good." I then smile and start singing Tranz by Gorillaz.

-Outskirts of Niflheim, Rias' POV-

We were walking when all of a sudden, we saw dozens of soldiers run to us. "Finally, a fight!"

I put Destruction Energy around my fists while Isabel used Ice, and we split up to fight them.

-Issei's POV-

I was hiding behind a rock when I saw Rias and that Isabel chick were fighting these guys that had swords and spears. They both were dodging and countering, but then a guy punched Rias square in the jaw! I was about to run to fight them when she had the most furious face I've ever seen!

She started focusing all her energy between her palms, and released them. Isabel, the guy with them, and the chick with the pink hair ran out of the way as a huge black and red blast erupted from her hands! She screamed, "Dark Wave Nova!"

All of the guards then were launched far away! Remind me not to piss her off!

-Rias' POV-

I breathed a sigh of relief when Isabel, Makellos and Genesis came back. I said, "Sorry about that, got a little excited. Let's get going."

As we were walking, Isabel said, "Don't you think that was a little unnecessary?"

"What do you mean?"

"That could have brought Vali out here."

"I think we'll be fine. He would have appeared from the get-go. I think he might have left, but we'll see when we get to the castle."

"Alright."

We kept walking, and I asked Makellos, "So what happened here?"

"Well, the details were a bit manipulated by Lord Odin, but for a few centuries after the universe started, the Giant King, Ymir, was building a kingdom here in Niflheim. But Odin didn't want any contenders for power, and launched an attack with the Vanir and Sigrun. They wiped out the entire town here, and Odin killed Ymir, and with his body, constructed Midgard."

"Oh my. I see why Odin has so many enemies. But I assume he's done conquering?"

"Yes he is. But he's having a little trouble learning what peace is. Because of that, Loki had run off, and we hadn't seen him for nearly a month."

"Maybe he joined up with the Khaos Brigade."

"I never thought of that."

We had finally arrived at the castle, and there were some guards at the entrance. I put on the Sacred Gear, and I brought out the Wine Essence. I approach them, and they try to stop me, but they start wobbling back and forth. I grin and punch them out. "Shall we, oh man- Shall we get started?"

By the Devil Kings, this is some strong stuff. Isabel has an arm around me to keep me upright as we both stumble through the castle. We start to hear someone singing. "Do you turn into your effigy?"

I yelled, "ISAAC!"

I drunkenly run through the halls, and occasionally bump into the walls as I hear Isaac's singing. "I'm...I'm coming for you!"

We finally made it to the room where he was being held, and I found him chained up on a wall, with his Life Fiber jacket torn up on the floor. I turned off the Essence, and Makellos cut him down with her spear. I caught him, and he said, "I'm so happy to see you. I missed you so much."

I smiled and replied, "I missed you too." Next to him was a tall girl sleeping, wearing a small schoolgirl uniform with long white hair, and white cat ears and a tail. "Koneko?!"

She was then cut down and caught by Isabel. I then gave Isaac over to Makellos. "Please wait for me. I'm going to take their plans."

Isaac pointed to a set of stairs, and I ran up then to Vali's office. I got there and said, "Hey Clark, I just got up to the office. Can you run a scan for all files? You never know if he's hiding anything."

"Yeah. Computer, initialize Scan." A small radar sensor popped up, emitted a blue grid around the entire room, and said, "No known traps or enchantments."

I saw a journal on his desk and grabbed them. I headed back down, and I grabbed his torn jacket. "Makellos, I'll take Isaac back, and please get us out of here."

-Issei's POV-

I just got here, and I may be drunk, but I think I see Koneko grown up! I see Rias carrying a book, and that orange haired guy. So that's what she came for. I need to get stronger so she can be with me! I heard Ddraig's voice in my head. "That's a weird thing to be motivated for, but I know you can do it."

Just then, a portal opened up and they all went through it. Right before it closed, I ran through it.

-Mountain, Rias' POV-

We all came out of the portal, and we saw Sigrun waiting for us. She said, "Welcome back. I see you found your boyfriend. And who is this woman?"

"That is my Rook, Koneko Tojo. But it looks like they removed my power limiter on her. Let's bring them both home, and we'll check them out."

Sigrun came with us as I made a Magic Circle to teleport us home.

-Issei's POV-

I just turned visible when they left. "Alright, Clark, just what the hell is going on?!"

He then said, "Alright, Rias and the others just rescued Isaac and Koneko. She was also looking for any plans that the leader, Vali, had to take over the world. Any other questions?"

"No, I think that's it. Now can I start training? I want Rias to see I've gotten stronger."

"Get to the field tomorrow after school. I have something special for you. Other than that, see you tomorrow, Issei."

"Alright, later, Clark." I then got teleported back home in my bed. I have no idea how this is happening.

-Living Room, 5 Minutes Later, Rias' POV-

We just got Isaac, who is sitting on the couch next to Koneko, who is sleeping. I pulled up the Holo-screen, and Clark appeared. Isaac said, "After all this time….Where is everyone?"

"A lot of us are split up: Akeno is with Baraqiel and Azazel fighting a Civil War among the Fallen Angels, and Kiba is with Irina and Xenovia trying to stop Freed from collecting the Excaliburs."

"That's right! She asked me that before I was taken. Any idea on when that should be finished?"

"Not really. Akeno told me they are almost defeated, and Kiba said there's only one Excalibur left, and it's in a sealed cave in England."

"The Khaos Brigade is really trying to slow us down then."

"How do you know it's them?"

"Vali told me he would throw everything he has to stop you. So we need to stop him, and I need to get Ariz back."

Clark then said, "Good to know having your Sacred Gear removed didn't break your spirit. Tomorrow I want you to start training with Genesis. Rias, you and Makellos help Xenovia and the others; then once you get trained, Isaac, I want you to fight the Fallen Angels with Issei."

"Wait, he's a part of this now?"

I replied, "Yes, he has a great Sacred Gear, and I want him to fight alongside us."

He smiled and said, "Good. Well, after being taken by the Khaos Brigade and having my powers taken, I'm really exhausted. I'll give you all the details in the morning, Clark."

"Sounds good, Isaac. Good night, and it's good to have you back."

The screen shut off, and Isaac stood up and said to the new guy, "So you must be Genesis. Thanks for helping out Rias, now that you joined us, I'm sure things will be looking up."

He held out his hand, and Genesis shook it while saying, "Well, she kept talking about you, so I figured I would help. Well, I'll join you on training tomorrow. Good night, Rias."

He then left, and he said, "It feels good to be back. And thank you, Sigrun and Makellos, for helping Rias as well."

Sigrun said, "It's no problem at all. She is a strong woman, and I'm glad she found my shack in the mountain. I will retire tonight, and I will see you all in the morning."

She then left, and I said, "I'm so glad you're back. I'm afraid of what they did to Koneko, though."

"Me too. Before I lost Ariz, I felt something off about her when they were chanting some stuff to her."

"I see….Well, we'll worry about that tomorrow. And I think you'll need this." I handed him the remains of his Life Fiber jacket.

He put on what he could, and the eyes to Lewis' patch opened. "Finally!"

The jacket healed itself, and he said, "It's good to have you back, Lewis."

"What? Where the hell are we?"

"We're finally back home. But we lost Ariz."

"Damn. Well, that means I'll need to pick up the slack."

"Good. But for now, I need to sleep."

We all went to his bed, where Asia and Ravel were sleeping. He woke them up, and they smiled while hugging him. "I missed you all, and I'll be sure to help defeat the Khaos Brigade."

We all went to sleep, and I was hugging him as I drifted into sleep.

-Isaac's Mind World, Isaac's POV-

I woke up in the Mind Space, wearing the jacket. What the hell am I doing here? Just then, I heard Ragyo's voice. "Even with your women, you won't be able to get rid of me."

"I suppose, but I got someone to stop you."

Just then, Lewis' eyes shined, and he wove the Life Fibers into a net that he launched at her. She was caught up in it, and struggled. I said, "I may not get rid of you, but I won't let you control me. I finally got my life back, and I'm going to make sure no one stops me!"

I left the room.

-Chronal Nexus, Clark's POV-

Good to know we got Isaac back, but I'm curious about what all changed. "Computer, initiate scan through Life Fibers."

The screen was loading for a couple minutes, and when it finished, it loaded the results on the screen.

"Let's see…No Sacred Gear, already knew that, Connection with Lewis' Life Fibers, a little bit of Fire Magic…"

But it's that last item on the list that worries me: Remnant of Ragyo Kiryuin. "Now how is that possible?"

I went to the Archives, and checked out the footage of the Kiryuin Estate while Isaac was knocked out. I looked at it, and I didn't see anything out of the ordinary as she handcuffed him to her bed. I checked out the Primordial Life Fiber Chamber, and it looks like a cocoon for a COVER was busted open. "Maybe she put some of her DNA in it, and implanted those Life Fibers into him. I'll have to monitor him for any changes."

I returned to the monitoring station, and reviewed the reports from all active Wanderers.

-Ymir's Castle, Vali's POV-

I had returned on my own, and as expected, they had freed our captives. It doesn't matter though. I came back up to my office, and found my reports had been taken, as expected. However, I waved my hand in front of the back wall, and a small Magic Circle appeared, then broke, and a brick vanished, revealing a file with the title: Project Paradise Lost.

"Nothing will stop me from ruling all of creation."

The Scorpion then tightened its grip on me, and my eyes turned red.

Now things are getting somewhat back to normal! Isaac and Koneko had been saved, and in the next chapter, Isaac will see what power he has left! Thanks for reading!
