ON WITH THE STORY.
Koneko P.O.V
I had a mission from my king. My king had requested me to follow the transfer student and keep tabs on him. I never expected for a fallen to come at him at the time. I knew I was strong enough to take on a fallen on my own but buchou never ordered me to fight any intruder intruding my subject. If Issei-senpai had been here then he could take her on himself and even do much worse that's why he was'nt put up to this mission. For the moment, the only thought in my head was to fall back and request for backup or Buchou herself. The later seemed like a good option so I contacted my king. I didn't expect her to bring up the whole peerage for one fallen angel.
My king requested me to explain everything that had occurred and I told her everything. She had a pissed off look on her face and I already knew the reason why. For a long while now, fallen angels had entered Buchou's area of domination and killed many sacred gear wielders. Most of the time we got there late or found ourselves surrounded. We lost to them for a while and it wasn't very pleasing. I could sense the anger rising from Buchou and Issei-senpai.
I decided not to waste any time and directed them where the action was happening. To my amusement I'd though the transfer student would be dead by now but he was holding his own very well against the fallen angel. Issei-senpai and I tried to intervene in the battle but Buchou stopped us with a look that was scanning the transfer student much. He had two swords on his hands and was fending off most of the fallen angel's attacks. I also noticed his aura was spiking at the moment but didn't hold any deadly intent compared to the fallen angel's aura.
A moment ago
"Stop this. I don't want to kill anyone" With that he pressed the sword on her neck even harder for confirmation of a surrender. Ronnie had approached the fallen angel so fast her brain had failed to register what just happened. Her facial expression had changed from a frown to a shocked one. She couldn't believe that a human had bested her. Though the warning was heard very clearly by the fallen angel, she decided to put a deaf ear to it. Her blood was now boiling due to the anger she had anger caused by her pride due to a human besting her. She prepared another light spear, faster this time and tried to stab Ronnie again. Upon noticing this he did a back-flip and landed a few feet in front of her.
Her face contorted with anger, her vision took form of one color, the color was RED. She then spoke with a voice full of malice. "You dumb brat! You dare threaten me?! I'll make you regret the day you were born." Her voice was so ill willed it made Ronnie quiver upon hearing it, though that never changed his standings on the battle. She hurled another light spear but unlike the other ones, it was much faster and had more power into it. Ronnie crossed his swords to defend himself from the light spear but it smashed the swords hard and threw him backwards for 20 feet. Though he was able to defend the spear his visor and neural transmitter were all destroyed from the blast. His shirt was torn and what was left was pieces of cloth on his skin.
Ronnie got to battle stance quicker and readied himself to attack before she hurled another light spear like the one before. He jumped straight at her and swung his blade at her making orange flames pop out of his sword and hit the fallen angel. She fell to the ground and clutched her chest where the fire burnt her. That was it for her, if before she saw red only then this time Kalawarner saw blood. Not only blood but she saw Ronnie's body gushing out blood from any opening in his body and him screaming in agonizing pain. 'Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill.' That was the only thought in Kalawarner's brain only that it repeated itself like a chorus. "I'm so gonna kill you, you stinking brat!"
Now
"I'm so gonna kill you, you stinking brat!" Those words shocked everyone in the nearby area. Rias's peerage was ready to mobilize under their master's order but it never came. No one was dumb enough to oppose their master's will so they waited. Meanwhile Ronnie was readying himself for another strike when he noticed the fallen angel was readying another light spear even stronger that the last one. Upon seeing this Ronnie made a change in plans which he was sure to backlash on him and he would regret it, but he didn't care much at the moment.
"Meta Dragoneer." Ronnie made another chant with a voice that had a roar similarity. The blade on his nodachi changed from orange to rainbow like colors. He crossed his nodachis and an energy ball formed in front of the cross. Kalawarner hurled her light spear towards him and he released all of the energy from his energy ball changing it to a shot. It broke Kalawarner light spear and hit her on her left wing disintegrating it. She screamed in pain as one of her wings was just destroyed. She landed on the ground with a face that was further distorted by mixture of pain and anger wrecking her nerves. Ronnie on the other hand was smiling when he suddenly fell to the ground, clutching his stomach in pain as he coughed up blood and vomited more blood. He fell to the ground and his body became paralyzed.
Kalawarner herself was also going through excruciating pain but her anger towards the kid gave her strength to get up and ready another light spear. "Rest... in... pea...-" Those were the words that came out of Kalawarner's mouth as he was about to pierce Ronnie with her light spear when a sound took her out of her moment of triumph. [BOOST] After hearing that sound Kalawarner turned to face source with a face of pure anger only to find Issei glaring at her deadly with the rest of the Gremory heiress peerage glaring at her.
"I hate fallen angels. First, they try to kill me. Second, they killed Asia." Hearing those words from Issei, Asia quivered from memory of her death at the hands of Mittelt and her lovely expression turned to a sad one. Issei kept on speaking in his deadly tone and venom leaking in every word. "Third, you interfere in my master's area of dominion. For all those crimes you will suffer death at my hands." With that said Issei prepared to attack but seeing that she was outnumbered and outmatched Kalawarner fled from the scene through a portal. Rias thanked Issei for his bravery and took Ronnie and left the area.
Occult Research Club building
In one of the rooms in the OCR building a groan was heard. Ronnie was waking up from his sleep due to his exhaustion. He appeared to be suffering a headache which was symbolized by him massaging his temple. As if she was waiting for his awakening, Rias entered the room with a look which meant she was here for business only. She scanned the room and Ronnie for any anomalies before she began speaking. "As you might have noticed, my peerage just saved your life so you are indebted to me. Also the info I got about you said you are blind and deaf..." She glared at him before continuing "...but in that battle all of your helping gadgets were destroyed but you didn't seem to be bothered by that." Ronnie was about to speak when she cut him off with a stern tone "And don't tell me you were able to sense energy flow because as it stands if that were the truth you wouldn't be able to dodge the attacks like you did and counter perfectly as you did."
Ronnie knew his secret was unraveled, and lying was an option that was unavailable at the moment. Aerion was resting for reasons unknown and the look on Rias face made him cringe all the way to his spine. He contemplated on what to do failing to notice the impatient look growing Rias face. Rias had enough and decided to break the silence with an order which sounded more like a bark. "Answer me damn it!". Ronnie was startled from his thoughts and tried to recompose himself but he ended up failing and falling over from the bed. Realization hit him hard when he found out he didn't know who he was talking to nor where he was. He decided to throw some questions back at Rias.
"Who are you and where am I?" Ronnie asked with a puzzled face.
"Hmmm. My name is Rias Gremory and you are at the Occult Research Club building. Now then answer my question." Rias replied back in still stern tone eyes focused on Ronnie.
"Well, they say no secret can last forever. Might as well get on with it. As of now you have already figured out that I have neither of the fore-mentioned disabilities. They were my past disabilities and I have already regenerated from them. Now what is this peerage that you speak of?" Ronnie asked the question to Rias with curiosity plastered over his face.
Rias smiled and looked at Ronnie thinking of where she should start her explanation from. After a moment of silence she replied back. "A peerage is basically a squad of devils under one leader. The peerage has various categories which each have different abilities and role in the squad. Example there is a king and he/she is the leader of the peerage and is responsible for the whole coordination of the peerage. Also there is a queen, rooks, bishops, knights and pawns. To easily define their tasks just recall the chess game." Rias had given him a short and thorough description of a peearage. After the short briefing Rias decided to put her point to the front now. She looked at Ronnie with a faint smile before speaking, "Well, since you are indebted to me I think its time for you to know what your payment will be." Rias finished her statement with a look of delight on her face.
Ronnie looked up to Rias eye to eye with a look that said 'Speak out'. He was preparing himself to pay the price which the devil wanted. From his knowings according to the talk he usually had with Aerion he had mostly beeb told that devils will ask for a payment for most of the things they do and the payment may be as high as one's soul. Juding his scene, Ronnie figured much that he'd mostly be paying a high price and maybe his soul too. This thought startled him greatly that much it was visible to Rias. She was about to speak before Ronnie interupted her.
"I'm guessing its a very high price." Ronnie spoke in a monotone voice void of any emotions. Rias nodded her head and spoke off. "I'm afraid and glad to say that the price is your soul. *sigh*. You must join my peerage." Rias spoke with a voice full of confidence and sounded more like a command more than a request.
At that moment Akeno and the rest of Rias peerage came in to see what was going on. Issei looked at Ronnie with sympathy in his eyes and the rest of the peerage stood in the room like robots waiting for a command. The room was suddenly filled with tension all over.
