"Alright, Rias what the fuck do you want this time?" I growl as I enter the room, arms crossed.
Mittelt is sitting down on the sofa with her arms crossed, looking down at the floor intently, seemingly deep in thought.
"mn." I hum as I just walk across the room and sit beside her on the Couch, Ravel following along and sitting just to the left of me.
"Ah... Lucas... I am glad that you could join us." Rias announces from her desk at the front of the room.
"What is it, Rias..." I sigh. "Ten words or less."
"Exorcists have requested a meeting to discuss a certain problem that Mittelt here has informed me is that Kokabiel has stolen several Excalibur fragments."
"That was twenty four." I deadpan.
"mn" she pouts.
"Sooooo" I hum as I slowly look over to Mittelt. "What's the plan?"
"…"
"…"
"…"
I reach over and tap her on the shoulder, causing her to briefly look at me, but then look down to the ground in thought.
'probability that I can find a way that she does something other than mope?'
100%.
"Flat bitch." I scoff as I fold my hands behind my head, causing Ravel to gasp.
Mittelt predictably hits my knuckles with the palm of her hand.
She glares at me for a moment... then goes back to looking at the floor.
"Oh, my gods SAY SOMETHING!"
"I'M TRYING TO THINK BITCH, SHUT THE HELL UP!" She roars at me.
"Tell me what we are dealing with, THEEEEN go back to thinking." I respond.
"I don't like repeating myself so I'm waiting until those damn exorcists get here." She growls.
I glance to Rias.
"They are on their way. Sona is bringing them now." She announces.
"Is... this how you two always act?" Rias eventually asks. "S-Sorry if this might be a little rude, but your relationship seems a little... toxic..."
"Better than yours biiiitch." I scoff as I stretch.
She opens her mouth to say something, but I hold up a hand "abababa, we aren't talking about my relationship with Mittelt right now, we are talking about exorcists and about the fuck an 'Excalibur Fragment' is."
"You know the sword Excalibur?" Pauline asks.
"Yeah?" I ask with a raised eyebrow, accepting that if anyone is going to give me a short answer, it'd be her or the white-haired midget.
"Basically, fragments of that forged into their own swords." she explains.
"Mn. In under fifteen words... nice." I hum.
The door opens revealing Sona Shitori... followed by two girls in cloaks, one with a massive covered object on her back.
Sona nods politely then leaves us to our conversation
One of the exorcists pulls down her hood as she sits down across from Mittelt, Ravel, and I, she has short blue hair that reaches her chin and has a green streak over her right eye. "Thank you for speaking with us today..."
The other exorcist follows along, revealing long brown hair that has been tied up into two twin tails that each reach her butt. "My name is Irina! Irina Shidou!"
"And my name is Xenovia." The blue haired one murmurs before looking to Mittelt. "I wasn't aware you allowed her kind here... they are the reason this entire mess started in the first place."
I narrow my eyes. "Listen here, bitch. I honestly don't really care what that ten-winged bastard has done... it will work out... but if you think I am going to sit here and let you insult Mittelt you have another thing coming."
The brown haired exorcist seems briefly caught off guard. "H-Huh? You are actually defending her?"
"Defending her from what? What are her crimes? Existing? Sharing the same race with a genocidal maniac? Humans aren't exactly innocent of that crime either you know."
Mittelt takes this time to look up with a frown. "Alright, basically, Kokabiel has betrayed the Grigori along with dozens of other fallen angels, now, this normally wouldn't be a problem, but more than half of them has more than four wings... and most- if not all- of them are survivors from the great war... there have been reports of twelve singular winged angels, eight four-winged, four six-winged, t-two eight winged, and Kokabiel himself with ten wings."
Ravel lets out a small whimper, probably never having to deal with anything like this during her life in hell.
That statement sounds a little weird...
"If you are done with your blatant racism, we can figure out how to defeat him and get back the stolen Excalibur fragments."
"Actually..." Xenovia interjects. "We are here to ask for you to stay out of this."
"…"
"E-Excuse me?" Rias asks.
Mittelt slowly blinks. "Let me get this straight... you TWO HUMANS want to fight upwards of thirty fallen angels by yourself..."
"Yeah..." I nod. "That's REALLY dumb, a simple four winged fallen angel survived a point blank double barrel shotgun slug shot to the throat... if you honestly think that you can fight eight of those while fighting four things more than five times as strong, then two more than five times that... then another five times that... you're just flat out suicidal."
"Lucas. You are really lowballing their power..." Mittelt sighs.
"It doesn't change the fact that if these fucking idiots don't work with us, they are going to absolutely get obliterated by those fallen angels."
"They... kind of have a point, Xenovia." The brunette says to the blue-ette. "I would have understood if they had just sent the two of us after Kokabiel, that, while difficult, would technically be possible for us to solve... but Kokabiel and several fallen with more than six wings? The probability for our success is less than one percent!"
'it's Zero, but she is technically right...'
"So what?" The blue haired girl asks. "Do you propose we ally ourselves with these devils? Perhaps that filthy fallen?"
My right eyebrow twitches.
"Three words." I scoff. "Three words to absolutely break you. First one starts with a G, second starts with an I and third starts with a D."
"Maybe it would be... wise?" The twin tailed girl asks.
"It would..." I slowly nod. "But I swear, if you make another remark towards Mittelt, I'm throwing you through the wall."
"Tch- as if you could." The blue haired girl scoffs.
"Do you care to test that?" I frown, narrowing my eyes.
The girl looks away with an annoyed grimace, looking for anything possible in the room to get distracted by.
Her eyes stop on Asia. "You... you are that filthy heretic, aren't y-"
*CRASH*
"Oops... my hand slipped." I frown as I lower my fist, a large hole punched cleanly through the wall as dust rains down upon me.
"XENOVIA!" The brunette shouts as she leaps out the hole, looking for her friend.
"LU WHAT THE FUCK?!" Mittlet shouts. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!"
"What?" I ask with a raised eyebrow, glancing back to look at her. "If all she was going to do was insult people, she's lucky I cut her off before she suggested that Asia let herself be killed by her to ask for forgiveness from big G."
Rias who was shocked silent finally blinks off her confusion. "She would have done WHAT?!"
"L-Lu... t-tell me you didn't just restart the great war..." Mittelt whispers.
"Of course, not... I'm a neutral party." I deadpan as I hop out the hole in the wall.
The blue haired exorcist sits up slowly, bringing a hand up to her head as a second figure lands behind me.
"Do you care if I join in on this duel, Lucas?" Kiba asks as he slowly conjures a sword in his left hand. "I have a... let's call it a bone to pick with the wielders of the holy sword."
"Hn? What the hell are you talking about? I'm not dueling... I said I'd punch her through the wall... so I did." I state with a small frown.
The blue haired girl slowly stands up. "A suckerpunch?! You bastard."
"What the heck is wrong with you?!" The twin-tailed girl asks.
"You made several mistakes, friends, firstly, you insulted my girlfriend. Secondly. You are just being a massive bitch to your ONLY help. I am not associated with any faction, and while I may date a fallen, I am purely human. Now, if we are all calm now. Perhaps we can work something out... our little group of misfits can stop Kokabiel and save the world or whatever."
The blue haired girl glares at me. "Tch... how can I trust you?! You fraternize with devils and fallen, and use underhanded methods to attack."
I scratch my chin and glance to the side. "Hrm... how about this... we have a simple duel. A simple training bout...and if you win... you can do whatever the hell you want... go commit suicide via horde of fallen angels for all I care."
"But." I hum. "If I win. You let us help you."
"So... what you are suggesting is an opportunity for me to take out my frustrations on you... with no drawbacks?"
"Correct." I smirk with a small wink.
"It will be a two on two, then." Kiba states with a frown.
I glance at him again. "I don't understand what bone to pick you have with these holy toothpick wielders, but it probably isn't healthy."
"Are we in agreement then?" The blue haired exorcist asks. "A simple two on two fight. Simple training. Nothing more, nothing less."
I roll my shoulders and smile at the two exorcists. "Sure, sounds good."
"What the hell are you doing down there?!"
I glance up to see Mittelt standing in the hole in the wall with her arms crossed.
"Just a simple duel... I lose, they can do whatever they want... I win? They have to let us help them."
"…" she brings a hand up to her head and rubs her temple. "Lu... why?"
I look back at the blue haired exorcist. "Eh, it's probably the easiest way to solve this."
"Are you fucking insane?! Why the hell are you going to fight them?! Wouldn't that strain relations more?!"
"Nah." I scoff as I glance to Kiba.
"I-I guess this is fine." The brown haired exorcist sighs. "As long as we don't hurt each other... this won't be counted as a fight..."
I raise my hands. "Mittelt. Count us down."
"Why would I-"
"You either count us down or I toss a coin up in the air and we start when it hits the ground." I state with a shrug, feeling steadily rising killing intent from Kiba.
"That is a horrible ide-"
I hold up a one hundred yen coin. *PING*
The coin sails through the air. "We start when that hits the ground."
Most of the Occult Research Club are watching out the window or around Mittelt who quickly jumps out the window.
It hits the ground with a dull thump.
Immediately Kiba blasts forwards towards the blue haired exorcist as the cloth around the object on her back explodes off, taking her cloak with it, revealing it to be a massive swo-
"W-"
Why are they wearing skin-tight body-suits...?
The girl deflects his attack to the side with the oversized greatsword, then kicks him in the side.
She lunges forwards, towards me as her cohort begins to fight Kiba with a scrunchy that transformed into a katana.
I smirk as she raises the greatsword high, briefly pausing before she swings it down in an arc.
I tilt my body backwards as I step forwards, twisting my body around hers as her attack goes wide.
Her blade smashes into the floor and launches me away as a massive crater is created.
I flip through the air and land on my feet, twenty or so feet behind her, just at the edge of the massive crater. 'dangerous...'
She slowly turns around with a small confident smile that slightly irks me.
I crack my wrist and narrow my eyes, only to smirk and tap my cheek.
The girl blinks slowly and brings a hand up to her cheek, widening her eyes as her fingers brush against a small cut that stains her fingertips with blood. "…"
Her eyes narrow as she remains silent.
Around my hand are writhing shadows of vines, dozens of large sharp spikes across their surface, giving the look of Briars. "You are going to have to try harder than that, y'know."
She slowly raises her sword with a grimace.
I take a moment to tear my eyes away from her body- yes, I am a male, sue me- to take a good look at her weapon.
It is quite strange, its hilt leads up to a handguard that looks somewhat like an axe, the handle continuing upwards for a bit before connecting to the blade, a wicked three-pronged... thing... that's about four feet long, it looks as if it had a center blade that had two single-edged blades stapled onto the sides...
The centermost blade has a purple color, and a red line running along its length.
The girl lets out a roar as she changes forwards again, swinging the sword in a downwards arc once more.
'please let this work- oh one hundred percent... nice.'
*CRACK-BOOM*
I fling one hand upwards, wreathed in shadow vines, meeting her sword head on and creating a massive explosion, causing a plume of dirt to be kicked up.
With a single kick I knock her out of the dust cloud.
Without her weapon...
The dust clears revealing my hand grabbing the lack of blade between the hand guard and the sword itself, black lines of vine creeping up the blade and creating little sparks as they touch it.
"What..." The exorcist quietly gasps.
I hurl it upwards, the greatsword flipping end over end as it falls towards me.
I catch it with one hand, tip pointing downwards and to the side.
I slowly exhale, shadows arcing around the handle and blade.
*FWOOMPH*
The ground is upturned as I swing the sword ahead of me, carving a cone of destruction that continues on for a good thirty feet... except for one spot... the exorcist crossed her arms, resisting the blast of air with only a couple of tears to her clothing, a rip on her stomach here, her sleeves getting completely blown off there, one of her tits are nearly hanging out, her body creating a shield for the remaining ten or so feet behind her in a triangle.
"A... natural holy sword wielder?!" She asks.
"Hey... this sword is pretty cool..." I hum as I point it dead ahead. "You've been disarmed so I'd say I've won out little duel."
"But you haven't beaten me!"
I dive to the side as a sharp flowing blade whirls through the air, almost like a ribbon, carving a crescent in the floor below.
'where is-'
I see Kiba kneeling across the battlefield, clutching his stomach with a wince.
'chance I can end this in the next ten seconds?'
23.4%
'I see one hundred percent it is.'
100%
'ah, bliss.'
I step forwards, swinging the massive sword once, knocking the ribbon-like blade away, quickly dashing towards the remaining exorcist.
She folds around my fist as I punch her in the stomach. "Guah-"
She rolls to a stop a short distance away as I point the holy sword towards her.
She looks up with wide eyes. "How..."
"I win."
I toss the blade behind me.
*Thunk*
It sinks cleanly into the ground, creating a small explosion. "So... that means you all have to help us kick Kokabiel's ass."
"That was the deal, right?" I hum with a small smirk as I hold out a hand to the girl.
She slowly grabs my hand and allows herself to be pulled up as the blue haired exorcist retrieves the piece of Excalibur
"You two aren't going to break our deal, are you?"
"Tch-" the blue haired girl frowns. "Of course, not... if we did not keep our word, what kind of exorcists would we be?!"
Her shoulders slump as her brown-haired friend slowly looks over to her. "I did not expect to find someone who could wield Excalibur out here..."
"Is that a rare thing or something?" I ask with a quirked eyebrow as I turn and begin walking back to the clubhouse.
"Considerably..." The blue haired girl mutters to herself, seemingly deep in thought.
I glance back to see Kiba unmoving, staring blankly at the ground, a broken expression on his face.
'hn.'
I glance forwards again. "I'm going to warn you from insulting your temporary allies by the way... we are helping you... your lack of any sort of empathy or insult-filter shouldn't jeopardize that."
"Anyways... I have to make a couple preparations..." I hum as I split off and walk over to Issei.
"Yo Issei, small question that may or may not be massively important to our survival."
He blinks slowly. "What... is it?"
"Have you seen dragon ball?" I ask with a small grin.
"Original, Z, or GT."
"Z or Gt." I answer.
"Yes... I have seen both, why?" He slowly asks, narrowing his eyes.
"Ooooh nothing much... and you said your devil power revolves around imagination, right?"
"Ye- OOOOOOOH shit!" He gasps.
"Indeed."
"Hey... Lu?"
"Yes, Milly?" I ask as I look down at her, she's laying across my lap on her back with a tired expression.
"Do you think we can really do this?" She mutters.
"Of course, we can." I smile down at her. "Have you seen us?"
"Hm..." She lets out a low hum.
"You seem a little shaken." I frown down at her. "What's wrong."
"O-Oh... just a little nervous about fighting so many beings stronger than me." She mutters.
"Mittelt." I state with a half-lidded expression. "From day one you've made jokes about fighting Kokabiel, you knew it was going to happen at some point... what's actually gotten you so shaken up."
"It's... not important." She sighs as she shakes her head.
I reach down and pat her head, causing her to swat my hand away.
She slowly sits up with a sigh, shoulders slumping as she moves to sit beside me. "We are all probably going to die... we are going up with veterans of the great war... and what do we have? Less than twenty devils, six humans, and me..."
"And a hydra." I shrug, causing said black scaly lizard to poke one of its two heads over the back of the couch.
She shyly touches her fingers together. "A-Anyways, I need something to distract me... and considering we may quite possibly die in the next couple of days... you... don't want to die a virgin, do you? I-I really don't want to."
"Hn. Not particularly." I state. "Dying a virgin is maybe a five or so on the 'hope doesn't happen' scale.
She perks up slightly, gaining a slightly hopeful expression. "S-So you want to-"
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
I raise my eyebrow and look at the door as Mittelts slowly appearing smile falters.
'I didn't do that this time...'
She slowly looks to the door as well, but seeing as nobody is doing anything els-
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
Her eyebrow starts violently twitching as do her hands as she looks like she wants to violently strangle something.
The hydra lets out a small hiss as it quickly scurries under a nearby table, the tablecloth that nearly reaches the floor hiding it completely.
I get up with a frown and walk to the door, gently opening it to reveal Ravel.
"H-Hey... Lucas... do you care if I come in?"
"Why?" I slowly ask.
"I-I..." She shudders once. "I'm scared..."
She looks down and continues in a meek and quiet tone. "Back in hell, I-I never had to deal with anything like this... a-and I don't know what to do... I-I can regenerate, sure, b-but I'm not as good at it as the rest of my family... for obvious reasons... a-and if holy water caused so much damage to my brother... w-what would a cadre's light spear do to m-me?"
I let out a quiet sigh, glancing over to Mittelt who is frowning, but not as pissed as she was for getting cockblocked. "Yeah, yeah... come in."
I step aside, allowing the girl to walk in. "T-Thanks Lucas, Mittelt..."
She quietly walks over to the couch and sits down to her sister's right.
I meander my way back over and sit to Mittelt's left.
"C-Can we watch something?" Ravel asks in a quiet voice. "I need something to take my mind off all this madness."
"Sure." Mittelt sighs as she rubs her forehead.
Ravel tilts her head. "A-Are you mad about something?"
"No, just slightly annoyed." The six-winged angel sighs.
"W-Why?" The half-n-half questions.
"It's not important... don't worry about it..." Mittelt states as she holds up the remote and turns on the tv.
"A-Are you mad at me?" Ravel whispers, sounding absolutely heartbroken.
"Nope. Just sort of wish you had let me get laid."
Ravel takes a second to process that then turns beat red. "O-Oh I-I'm sorry I-I didn't mean to intrude, I-I can go if you really want me to-"
"No, No." Mittelt sighs as she waves the girl off. "Stay... if we die, I suppose hanging out with the two of you would be a good way spend the rest of my time... not my first choice, of course, but it works, I guess."
"I-I'm sorry!" Ravel exclaims.
"Don't worry about it." Mittelt shrugs. "Maybe this way, I'll fight harder knowing I'll have regrets if I die."
I pat the fallen's head causing the small girl to lean against me. "We'll get through it, alright?"
"Mhn..." She sighs. "I hope so..."
I'M BACK MOTHERFUCKER! YOU THOUGHT ME GONE?! NO! THIS WAS SIMPLY ON A 7 MONTH LONG HAITUS! MUAHAHAH! I SAID I'D GO TO THE END OF KOKABIEL! AND I MEANT IT!
Just got hit by Procrastination-itus...
