And here we are another chapter. I don't have any long winded spiel on anything right now so let's get to the review and answers segment.
LordGhostStriker: While I was tempted to let the Ravens in this story I don't think I will do any 2nd founding and so on chapters. I would call Luke more of a dude with godlike power instead of a god. Basically, he is slowly becoming a god, I'd say that right now he is currently at enhanced human level. But I will tell you he will eventually become a god in every sense of the word except in mindset.
Notsae: While I understand you reasoning this is just how I write, I feel more comfortable writing like this and I shall continue to write like this. Also just be patient I can't just tell you guys everything about our character in just one chapter if I did that there would not be any meaningful character development. If I had Luke just change his mind right on the fly it is for a reason, I assure you. Also not gonna lie, but that last about bit Asia was a bit cold. But I like your style.
frankieu: Ya cause big spiky one emotion obsessed brutal killing machines won't raise any alarms. You can at least just right off regular space marines as cosplayers and they aren't gonna snap at any point and start butchering the masses.
Ayman El Kadouri:
Luke: Rogal what are you doing with my bed.
Rogal: I am fortifying this position father.
Luke: With pillows and blankets?
Rogal:...Yes.
Luke:...Rogal.
Rogal: Yes.
Luke: Get the fuck out of my room.
There hope you enjoy that.
Shogun of Shorrow: What else would he be other than serious. Also no not on its own. If he creates a creature and it comes with equipment than they appear with it. He can just create pure equipment. Maybe when he's more powerful. But for now no.
Silent Lurker: She ain't getting her precious silence anytime soon I can tell you that. And yes I agree with you on the potential dangers of an imaginative mind and the power to create life.
Mad God 42: Ya it is. Also to all of you can you guys try and guess who the next legion will be as well.
Note: This chapters POV changes a lot so I have put who's POV it is right before the writing starts.

Chapter 6: Take Me To Church
(Luke's)
As I stand in front of the Primarch I still am questioning if my decision was correct. If they somehow think that I am not the Emperor I am most likely fucked, I think.
"Father is something wrong?" Dorn asks concerned.
Good, it wasn't a fluke he really sees me as big E, I think. "I'm fine Rogal, just a little unwell," I quickly reply. I know for a fact he doesn't buy it, Dorn's not an idiot but I also know he won't push the questioning forward so that's a plus.
"Very well father, then what do you require of me and my sons?" he questions. I look to see that the Imperial Fists were lined up in military fashion as to be expected of the Sons of Dorn.
But there is a slight problem, I created more than I wanted to. Where originally there were just supposed to be a platoon of the marines plus Dorn, there is instead almost a battalion. Shit note to self, do not get distracted when creating multiple entities, I think. "I need you and around 60 of your marines with me, we are going to purge a local Chaos cult," I say, A little over kill on bringing the marines I know but I don't know what to expect with these fallen.
"And what shall the rest of my sons do?" he asks. Good question, I think. I need to keep them occupied for now so they don't go exploring and trying to talk with the locals.
"For now have the rest of your sons and their chapter master fortify this position and scout the surrounding area, dig underneath my current residence if you need too to build a bunker," I say.
At this moment a lone Imperial Fist, wearing Terminator armor and wielding a heavy thunder hammer. With his helmet missing, I was able to see had white hair and a two clawed scar going over the left half of his old and grizzled face. "Chapter Master Vorn Hagan my Emperor, I shall stay behind to make sure this location is fortified," he said, his voice firm and unwavering.
"Very well Chapter Master, now Dorn we must make haste to the cultists base," I say leading the way to the church, I am not letting this happen again, I say to myself as this situation is very similar to one from my past.
"First and second platoon prepare to move out, all other Imperial Fists scout the surrounding area and fortify this position," ordered Dorn.
"Yes my Lord," spoke the marines in unison.
"Let's hustle men we need to get to that church as soon as possible," I say as I start to break out into a jog. Soon the Rogal and the marines start to breach out into jogs as well. as we made our way towards the church Rogal decided to speak.
"Father why I do not question your want to terminate this cult, I must ask why you are in such haste to do so you are abnormally emotional?" he asks.
Damn, I must be showing it more than I thought I was, I think. It's true that I am angry, not only are those bastards gonna do to Asia something I can't personally live with but one of them also nearly killed me. "There is someone they have that we need to make sure they don't harm her," I say seeing no reason to lie to the Primarch sense hill see her anyway.
"Father I do not see why the life of a single human will mean this much to you, there will always be casualties in war," Rogal says stoically.
"Well she is someone I won't let become part of some statistic," I say with some steel in my voice.
"She must be rather important to you to gain this kind of reaction from you father," Rogal states.
It's not really her I'm doing this for, I think in shame. If I'm being honest with myself I am doing this for myself than anything. Don't get me wrong for the short time I have to know her Asia is one of the few good people I have met in my life that I can call my friend. When you someone as lonely as me that's one of the few things that you can never repay. But the thing is she reminds me too much of a girl I cared about.
She was much like Asia, kind, sweet, and a faithful member of the church. We were inseparable, as thick as thieves. But like all good things that had to end, but the end wasn't as nice as some friendships end. But that is a story for another time. "She is a close friend, plus these bastards made it personal when they nearly killed me as well," I say as I see a slight glint in the eyes of Dorn.
"Then we should make sure we exterminate these heretics thoroughly," Rogal said with just the tiniest hint of anger from the usually stoic primarch. As we make our way closer to where the church is located the only thing I can think of is, I hope we're not too late.
Fallen Church Underground Chamber
(Asia's)
"You should feel honored Asia, your death will serve a greater purpose," says Raynare. I don't know how long it has been since I was taken away by Raynare. As soon as I was brought back I was stripped down to a single bit of clothing and I was afraid they would do something to me. They almost did if it wasn't for Raynare wanting to keep my unsullied as to make a ritual they were planning more powerful. Every since then, the halls have been plagued with the screams of men, women, and children. How can anyone be so cruel, I think.
As I am dragged to through the chambers of the church I slowly start to pray that God will save not me but Luke. "Please God save Luke," I say as I continue to pray.
"Aww sweet Asia, always the faithful even when you should realize no one is listening," she says.
"You were once part of God's children, how can you do such things when God would have never wanted this?" I question tears in my eyes as I ignore what she says. God isn't dead, he can't be, I think.
She stops and turns to me, her face twisted in a twisted smile. "Let me tell you why I do what I am doing now," she says. "I have served faithfully not only God but also Azazel for centuries and I was gifted little to nothing for such loyalty!" she counties. "But Chaos, ohoo Chaos offers you the world, it offers immortality, power, and for such loyalty, all they ask is sacrifices and a few burned worlds,". "If you ask me that Chaos is a much better offer, and you could join us, Asia, all you have to do is renounce your dead god," she says in a sultry voice.
"No I would never and will never denounce the Lord," I say in defiance.
She sighs "I would have hoped that you would have agreed and I would have gained a new pleasure slave, but at least with you resisting the temptations of the warp you will make an even better sacrifice," she says as she tanks on the chains that bind me and drags me forward.
It doesn't matter what you think, I still believe that there is still hope, I think.
hOpe is a pOWeRFuL tOoL chIlD DO NoT LosE iT, a voice suddenly says in my head.
Wh..who are you? I ask the voice.
wHo i Am dOeS nOt MAtTer lItTLe mOrTal i Am oNly HerE to TeLL You ThAt Your timE ShalL NoT CoME yET fOR tHe crEaTOr hAs TakeN a LiKiNG TO yOu, the voice says to me.
The creator, do you mean God? I ask.
In yOur pErspEcTive YeS hE iS a goD, But I musT go BEforE aNY OF THem ReAliZE my PresENcE, the voice says.
Wait, may I at least know your name? I ask.
YoU May CaLL me The RAvEN, says the voice.
Then thank you, Raven, I think.
As I am pulled from my conversation with the Raven by Raynare pulling on the chains and making me fall in something wet. I look to see a site that shocks me to my very core. "This is all that is required of us, after all, power demands sacrifice," Raynare states with a sickening smirk.
Outside the Fallen Church
(Dorn's)
We had finally reached the church the heretics had been using as their base. The church looked like it had seen far better days. Stain glass windows cracked, wall looking to crumble, and the lard wooden doors looking somewhat rotted. Clearly, this building is on its last legs, I think. "Scouts Franz and Kafla reporting in," said marine Franz. We had sent marines to do reconnaissance on the building.
"What have you found scouts," my father asked.
"We have found no back entrances into the building and thermal has picked up a large concentration of heat sources inside the building," spoke Scout Franz. "There also appears to be a large passageway underneath the structure as several heat signatures have both entered and exited from it due to their thermal signatures disabling or appear after they walk near the back of the church," spoke Scout Kafla.
"Hmm seems we might need to send in a squad to deal with any left in the passageway and wherever it leads," I spoke.
"You guys will take care of the guys on the main floor, I will deal with the ones downstairs," my father said.
"I must ask you to reconsider father and wait for us to finish off those upstairs, we have no idea of the number that are on the lower levels or if there are any traps down there waiting for intruders," I say. While my father is a mighty warrior, the obvious lack of his armor is concerning. If fact if it were my say I would have kept him with the rest of my sons, but he is unusually emotional. I will need to speak with him on that when this is over, I think.
"I'll be fine Rogal, I'll I need is a spare bolter," he says. While I would try and dissuade him, I know better than most that when my father is set on a goal he will follow it no matter what.
"Very well father, but it would be best to at least arm yourself," I say begrudgingly as a motion a nearby marine from a tactical squad to hand his bolter to the Emperor.
We have gathered my marines to discuss the battle plan. "Alright here's the plan we first take out the two guards out front and entered the church where we will gain a better position," the Emperor continues. "Then while the rest of you and Dorn hold of the forces on the main floor I will descend into the bottom chamber and recuse are VIP and possible take out the leader of the cultists, when finished with the cultists make your way to the chamber and assist me in the assault understood?".
"Yes M'lord," shouted my sons.
We crept our way forward and as we made our way towards the treeline, our scouts took aim with their sniper rifles and fired and killed the two sentries guarding the outside. We ran towards to the church as our element of surprise was now broken and busted are way in. As myself, father, and my marines filled into the room we were greeted with the disgusting site of the cultists. Most of them warped by the powers of chaos and mutations racking their body. It had also seemed that a few had tried to become champions and failed as there were several malformed chaos spawn.
"Well, well this is a surprise now ain't it and here I thought the party was down stairs," spoke a single man wearing what looks to be religious attire. He has white hair and pale skin, he would pass for human if it weren't for the snake like eyes and tongue.
"You!" father said his voice filled with venom.
"Ohh and here I thought I would never see you again, you keep stalking me like this and I might begin to blush," the priest said a sickening grin plastered onto his face.
"Rogal make sure you kill him for me," father says as he begins to raise his bolter.
"With pleasure father," I say as the rest of our forces begin to open fire onto the heretics.
As most try and hide behind fallen pillars or old pews, the few that didn't we moved down my bolter fire or hid behind the charging chaos spawn. After that, the battle became a swirling mess. Marines and cultists trading potshots or in the marines case mostly ignoring the small arms fire that while dented their armor, did little more than leave scorch marks to be dented out. Assault squads clashing with cultists that seemed to use some sort of power weapons that covered their blade in light or hacking down chaos spawn.
"I'm headed for the passage," my father said.
"Oh no you don't," said the crazed priest as he tried to swing his weapon at the Emperor. I quietly fired my tactical bolter, The Voice of Terra at the crazed man. He reeled back as to avoid the shot as father made his way to the passage shooting down some of the cultists that got in his way.
"Well are you the good little pet ruining my fun, you might just make me stop smiling," said the priest.
"We shall see how much you smile when you impaled on Storm's Teeth," I say as I rev my chainsword.
"Well you're no fun, you must really have a stick up your ass," the priest says as we clash weapons, sparks flying off from the blades meeting.
"There is no wooden rod in my anal region," I retort as we continue to pair each other's blows as the bullets fly around us.
"You are abnormally quick for a cultist," I say.
"You're not so bad yourself, and while you may be my type I'm afraid that makes me want to kill you even more," he says as he tries to strike again. But this time I get the upper hand and use my strength to knock him into a nearby marble pillar.
"Kaa," the cultist sounds as I begin to walk towards the priest cutting down or fire into the few cultists that suicidal charge at me.
"Are there any last words from your vile tongue?" I ask s I pick up the cultist ready to impale him.
"Ya distraction," he says as he slams a ball of light ageist my armor and a bright flash appears. As I try and regain my sight I slowly hear the sound of battle fade as the cultist seem to be trying to surrender. I regain my site to find that the cultist is gone and the remaining cultists being put into firing lines or cut down there and then.
"Sir we are ready to descend," replies a Sergeant.
"Very good then let us…," I begin to speak as the whole structure begins to shake.
Fallen Church Underground Chamber, 5 minutes ago
(Luke's)
I make my way down the steps as I begin to see a light at the end. As I reach into the chamber I am witnessed to a site I never thought possible. Body's, dozens of bodies hanging from the walls or left in piles on the ground. Men, women, and children, all hung up like fucking Christmas decorations, I think in horror. If I wasn't used to the site of large amounts of blood thanks to the Brass Citadel I might have been throwing up.
All around me are former priests now turned cultists, dozens of them as well as three people with black wings on their back. The other Fallen Angels I can assume, I think. One was a man dressed in an overcoat and wearing a fedora, another was a woman with long blue hair and a business suit, and the last was a little girl wear a….maid outfit. What the hell is with some of these peoples choice of style, I can get the dominatrix wannabe due to being under Slaanesh's thrall, but this is ridiculous, I think. But as to be expected all of them are riddled with mutations, tentacles, horns, crab like claws, the works.
"Well look who is here I thought you had died back there, I could have sworn I felt power from you," says the high bitch herself as she continues. "Since you have proved such a resilient specimen I will at the very least grant you the honor of knowing my name, I am Raynare please feel free to bow and grovel at any time," the newly named Raynare says at the top of an altar, upon it are her, a giant cross, and Asia chained to it.
"Asia!" I say in shock. Just what in the hell are they trying to do to her, I think.
"L..Luke?" Asia asks as she must be shocked to see me.
"Don't worry Asia I got this," I try and reassure her, but if I'm being honest this is not looking good. I'm surrounded, the battle upstairs isn't ending anytime soon, and I have no idea what these guys are capable of. In other words, i'm royally fucked. But I can't just run away now.
"Haha oh that's a rich one, what crappy book did you pull that one from, seriously you sound so cheesy," said the maid dressed fallen.
"At least I don't look like a maid from some erotic cafe, seriously what the hells up with that dress," I say trying not only to buy time but also piss off the fallen so they might slip up.
"Tsk why you little," she says as she throws a spear of light. I quickly dodge knowing what to somewhat expect from these guys. Won't get me with that trick again, I think.
After that, the rest of these mooks start to grab their weapons and start to charge at me. I begin to dodge and shoot into the cultists one by one, my arm reeling back with every round fired. Trying to fire a bolter one handed is harder than it looks.
"While this is an amusing distraction, I have power to gain," Raynare says as her hand begin to glow with purple light. "AHHHHHH," screams Asia in pain.
"Hang on Asia," I say. I quickly run through the cultists and begin to shoot frantically into the crowd, blowing up cultists left and right with the grenade sized projectiles. I make my way halfway through the cultists before I am descended upon by the other three fallen angels.
"Where do you think you're going?" sarcastically asks the male fallen.
I dodge the women's spear and with my momentum, I kick the man in the face. But the final one graces me across my back. Dam even if it grazes me it still hurts like a bitch, I think as I reel back from the pain.
"hMmm EVen If oUR LiGhTs BEen cORrUpTed iT seeMs To haVe aN AdvERse AFfECt To yOu, YOu mUst HavE soMe sErIous affIliaTIoN tO daRK eNeRgy's iF That'S tHaT cAsE," speaks the blue haired woman her vocal cords sounding twisted as if speaking in two voices at once.
I prepare to fire my bolter at the fallen, only to realize that Asia's screaming has all of a sudden stopped. I quickly turn to see Asia hanging from the cross almost motionless and see a faint emerald green energy slowly make its way towards Raynare.
"At last a power that would gain me the recognition I deserve," spoke Raynare.
No, is all I can think as I drop my bolter and run as fast as possible up to the top of the altar. As I get to the top the chains holding Asia to the cross are broken and disappear into dust. As she falls I catch her and drop to my knees at the top of the altar.
"Asia, I'm here Asia everything's gonna be fine," I say slowly try to reassure myself more than anything.
"It's fine Luke, I'm not afraid of dying, not if I get to at least see you one last time," Asia says.
"Hey don't talk like that I'm gonna get you out of here, we still have a bunch of things left to do remember, will go bowling or karaoke or I don't know just something just please stay," I say tears threatening to leave my eyes. No, not again please for the love of God don't let her die in my arms too, I think desperately praying that this isn't how it ends.
"You can go ahead and take the girl, I don't find fresh corpses appealing," Raynare says.
"You bitch give that back to her right now or I swear to God I will bring you to fucking hell personally," I say my anger rising with every passing second and I feel myself slowly being filled with warp energy.
Asia weakly whimpers in my arms. "Stay with me Asia, come on that jackass up there ain't going to get you yet," I say trying to do anything I can to make sure she doesn't die.
"Luke it's ok, I'm not afraid to die, not when I got the chance to make a friend like you," Asia countries. "It would have been nice to gain a bit more time but I can at least count myself lucky to have at least know you, the only thing I regret is that...I made….you..cry," Asia says as the life slowly drains from her.
"No, no, no not again please for the love of god not again, stay with my Asia please," I beg tears flowing down my checks.
"Well time to put an end to this little tragedy and here I was hoping you two would get together, hahaha," the fallen bitch says sarcastically and laughs as she prepares to kill me.
I failed, I think.
Failed, a voice says in my head.
Just like before, I think.
Just like with her, the voice says.
They...they have to pay for this, I think my mind clouded by thoughts of revenge.
Then let us make them pay, says the voice.
As the voice says those final words I feel a massive amount of warp energy flow into me causing the very earth itself to quake. "Wha...where is this power coming from," says Raynare.
"You wanted power, i'll show you what true power looks like bitch," I say my voice distorted by the power making it sound demonic and deep. I pick up Asia and slowly walk towards Raynare to which she flies away from the altar.
"Well what are you waiting for shoot him," she says her voice filled with hints of panic. As the cultist fire their bullets at me I continue to walk down the steps the bullets just pass by me or bounce off of me a few inches from my skin.
"You're all useless, let a real warrior show you how it's done," speaks the male fallen angel, his voice deep and savage sounding. He charges at me with a spear of light in hand. As he tries to impale me with it I grab onto it. "What the hell," He says as he tries to pull his weapon out of my grip.
"You know that's a neat trick you all can pull, be able to summon your weapon at any time like that," I say at the light spear in my hand slowly cracks and begins to break under within my grip. "But I have a trick of my own," I say as I raise my palm coated in eldritch energy. Before he can say anything else a ball of energy leaves my hand and hits him directly in the face, burning him down to the bone. With one of their leaders killed the rest of the cultists are skittish now. "Now who's next?" I ask as I telekinetically grab my bolter and point it at the rest.
Fallen Church Main Floor
(Dorn's)
"By the Emperor what was that?" a marine asked.
"That was the Emperor, quickly men we must make our way down there," I say as we head towards the passage. But before we do the doors to the church fly open. As I turn to look and see 5 youngsters standing in the door way. "And might I ask what you youngsters are doing here?" I ask these 5 as this is not the place for children.
"I am Rias Gremory and I am here to ask what you are doing in my territory?" spoke the crimson haired girl.
"We are here to purge the heretical filth that has taken root in this building, and I suggest that you leave this place while you can this is a battleground, not a play date," I say to the group.
Before she can speak the sound of battle echoes from the underground chamber.
"What the hell is he..ack," "Stay back damn you," "No, no please n...Crunch," "PLeASe For THe LoVe oF GaAaAhhH!" say the random voices of cultists dying and being slaughtered. As the sound of wind rushing past something is heard me and the rest of my sons focus our attention on the passage way.
All of a sudden a black blur is seen followed by the sound of two bolter rounds firing and hitting something. Behind us, a thump is heard and we turn to see a cultist with black wings. Or at least they wear but it had looked like someone had shot them off. "Please help me, he's a monster," the vile heretic speaks begging to be saved. We then hear the sound of someone walking up the steps and see father holding a young girl in his arms. Covered in stains of blood and his bolter barrel smoking it is safe to save what happened to the rest of the cultists.
"And where do you think you're going," he says to the heretic. The heretic looks, even more, frighten as she begins to desperately craw away. "Rogal cover her up and hold her for me please," my father says as I unfasten my cloak and take the girl and wrap her in it. "Now back to you," he says as his eyes glow with psychic power and his voice distorts. He walks towards the crawling heretic slowly.
"Issei please help me, remember all the fun we had on are ack," the heretic tries to say but father stops her by impaling her with a blade made of pure psychic energy on his wrist and surrounding his forearm (think of the psionic blade from Starcraft but as pure energy and no mechanical bits).
"You are not getting out of this one bitch," father says as he grabs her and throws her into one on the marble pillars breaking it. "You couldn't leave well enough alone, you just had to push and push and push," he says as he walks towards the fallen. He grabs her by her throat and says.
"And you want to know where you fucked up, it wasn't messing with the Devils in the area, nor was it becoming a pawn to chaos although admittedly that was a pretty big screw up," father says as his hand charges up with eldritch power. "No your biggest fuck up was harming someone under my protection, let alone the fact that you killed her, so you want to know where your greed got you," he says as he transfers psychic power into her. "A shallow grave," he finishes as the heretics bodies stars shining with light from her insides and her mouth and eyes are shooting light from them. Next thing that happens her body it blows up on the cellular level as all that is left of her is a stain on the wall.
As father's hand is shaking and sparks of energy are dancing across it, a green light slowly appears from where the heretic once was. Father grabs it and walks back towards us. "Rogal if you would please put her down?" he asks softly his voice losing any hint of emotion other than sadness. I silently do what is asked and he walks over and grabs her hands and places two rings glowing in emerald energy on each of her hands. After he sits there and just brushes some of the hair from her face.
"I can bring her back to life if you wish," says the crimson haired women.
"And have her be little more than a slave under your rule, no I don't think so," he says defiantly.
"While yes most devils are unkind to their servants, I can assure you she would be treated like family," says the girl.
My sons instantly raise their weapons at the confirmation of this girl as a 'devil'. "Daemon scum, do not even think of coming any closer to the Emperor," says a sergeant.
"At ease marines, they are not the enemy, so unless they try anything with hostile intent do not fire upon them," spoke my father, although I must admit this is not something I wish to hear from him.
If they are daemons they should be purge immediately, I think.
"As I was gonna say, a kind master to a slave is still a master to a slave, just because you give them a little freedom does not mean they are truly free," father says. At this point, the girl does not have a retort and decides to just stand there. As a little time passes, my father looks to have a look of realization and slowly places his hand above her heart as white eldritch energy forms around his hand.
"Father, what are you doing?" I ask worried my father is doing what I think he is doing.
"Something that if works will bring her back," he states as the energy continues to form around not only him but the girl's corpse as well.
"Father if you do this your soul will be immediately picked up by the forces of Chaos and hunted down, are you sure you can find a single soul with the expanse of the warp while fighting to keep yourself alive!" I say desperately as this is near suicidal levels of dangerous.
"Only one way to find out," he says as his eyes shine with white light.
Realm of Souls (And no not the 40K version)
(Luke's)
I came up with the idea on a whim, on the premise that if I can tap into the warp which is a realm for souls then I can tap into the world where souls travel to their designated resting places or at least where they go after death. After I saw the white light and I could see is a series of bright lights like stars and pitch black darkness. I could feel my consciousness literally swim through the void as I tried to find Asia's soul. Come on it can't be that far behind, plush if I focus on anything that felt similar to the energy of her power I should be able..ah there, I think as I pick up a faint energy similar to her healing ability.
As I travel through this cold and dark void I begin to see the faint out line of Asia's soul. It's one of the brightest, a yellow center and a green outline around it. As I get closer I see black tendrils pull her soul towards something, a gate as it slowly opens up to a white expanse were hundreds upon thousands of souls are.
"Oh no you don't you bastard," I say, there is no way in hell the big man upstairs is getting her soul. I get to the soul and snap the tendrils off of it. As I do more appear and try and grab onto her soul. I quickly collect some psychic power into my hand and send a wave of it at the tendrils causing them to disintegrate or be pushed back. "You can tell your, god, that this soul ain't coming to him for a long time, not if I got anything to say about it," I say as I quickly try and bring my consciousness back to my body.
Fallen Church
(Luke's)
As I am brought back into my body and began to hyperventilate. "Father are you alright Dorn," says immediately upon my return to the land of the living.
"Ya I'm good just a little exhausted," I reply, seriously it feels like I had just gone through a marathon of something.
"Bringing a soul back from the coils of death is no easy task, you're lucky to be even alive," says Rias.
"Ya well the big man can whine all he wants I got what I came for," I say as I hold in my hands a small circular mass of yellow and green energy. I slowly place the soul back into her body and pray that it works.
"Mmna," After a few seconds I hear Asia groan a little and slowly her eyes open. "Luke?" she asks weakly.
"I'm here Asia," I say holding her to my chest.
"I thought I died, wait are you an angel?" she asks me obviously confused by the situation.
"No Asia I'm no angel, but let's not focus on that we need to get you to someplace where you can rest," I say as I begin to pick her up bridal style. As I try and walk I stumble a bit and get on one knee.
"My emperor are you alright?" a marine asks me.
"I'm fine just a little drained is all, here hold her for me," I tell the marine. As he holds her I try and stand up again but begin to fall this time Rogal catches me.
"Father you are injured and drained of power please rest now, I will take care of the rest," Rogal says as I pass out from exhaustion.
Ok onto this part. So some major things in this chapter we have the fallen angels dealt with, the devils now know Luke has some allies but their not sure who they are, and we have our hero going through a power up of sorts and a strange voice talking to him. Who could this new voice be I wonder?
I hope I made the action seem believable and proper. I will try and make them a bit longer in the future especially when we get to the bigger events obviously.
Also, I want you guys to tell me if you want to see Rias and by extension Akeno into the harem. Because there are two things that cause Rias and Akeno to fall in love with Issei. 1: Issei saves Rias from her arranged marriage that's the real spark that starts their relationship. 2: Issei doesn't care about Akeno's heritage as a fallen angel and see's her for who she truly is. Now here's the thing I am pretty sure you all realized that I was gonna have Luke fight Riser, and by doing that stop the marriage. But by doing that stops the relationship between Rias and Issei from ever progressing. Also, Asia's death played a role in Issei's view on fallen angels as well so since he never really helped Asia, that stops some of his reasoning for hating fallen angels in general.
So I am thinking of adding the two to Luke's harem and just alluding to Issei getting with background characters. What do you guys think? I originally didn't want to do this but looking back on it there's no way I can make a believable relationship between those three without Issei being the main character and playing a bigger role in the arcs.
But also another thing I will be changing my update schedule for this story and all my other stories to writing it every two weeks instead of every week do to myself trying to scramble to get these chapters done. But don't worry I am not giving up on the story anytime soon I just need to give it a break every once in awhile.
But if you want more of my writing take a look at my other stories, it always helps to know what you guys like.
So until next time, this is your friendly neighborhood writer man signing off.
