Markus awoke to a pretty normal day, that was until he noticed that his home was cleaner than usual.
He wasn't complaining, he was just a bit confused, it only increased when he noticed a few shallow claw marks on heavy objects.
'What happened here? Did a bear clean my house?'
He smelled something being cooked, and assumed it was Rias.
He was wrong, instead, it was his new familiar.
"G-Good morning, Master"
"Hello, you do know i'm a Vampire, right?"
"I already know, this is for your guests"
"Guests?"
"Ahem"
Markus turned to see Rias and the rest of the peerage.
"Oppai…"
*WHACK*
"What are you guys doing here?"
"We wanted to have breakfast with you" replied Kiba.
"You too, Koneko?"
"I heard that there will be food" said Koneko with a straight face.
"I see…"
"Come now, it's not every day that we can take breakfast together" smiled Rias.
"Thats fair"
Everyone sat down at the table, Markus thought it was a bit awkward for him to just sit around while everyone else was eating.
That was until he noticed a blood sack on the table close to him.
"uhh…"
"S-Someone delivered it with others this morning with this letter"
Markus opened the letter and immediately became confused.
By this morning
The man removed his clothes
The water is cold.
'The damned Dandy man...'
"Who is it from?" asked Rias.
Markus folded the letter up and disposed of it,
"Nobody worth mentioning"
[liar]
'Shut it'
Thats when Markus noticed that the food being served was high quality.
"Hmm, where did you get all of this?"
"Um… I always have something to satisfy my Master"
"ok…"
"Why…" sobbed Issei "I should be the one with this Familiar!"
"Shut up!"
*WHACK*
After the strange breakfast they had, they walked to school until they stopped as they felt a strange energy nearby.
'Void Energy?'
*Master* called Passionlip *Are you alright?*
'Yes, don't worry'
"We'll deal with it later" said Rias as she walked with her Peerage.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After school, Markus was heading to the club room, but was forced to evade swords that were thrown.
"Dear lord, hear my prayers and help me correct this injustice that was done to one of your children"
Markus turned and saw a man wearing simple vestments and a golden cross around his neck underneath a cassock.
'What the hell?'
The Vampire noticed the one exorcist that got away behind him.
"Now then, is this the one who took Xenovia?" asked the priest.
"Yes" answered Irina.
"Now then, boy, give her back to us. She isn't your propriety"
"I think you should run home, Church boy. This town is no place for exorcists"
"Father Kotomine" called Irina as she took her sword in her hand "Let me help you. I want Xenovia back"
"There's no need, young Irina"
The same power he felt earlier burst out from him suddenly.
"You've made a huge mistake by attacking the church" the priest took a martial art pose "I may let you go with a broken hand if you give Xenovia back"
"How about no?"
"Maybe that you can call your friends to join you" smirked Kotomine "You may have a chance against me that way"
Markus didn't get a chance to do anything, as Rias and everyone else appeared.
"What is your business here?" asked Rias.
"I can tell that you already know why I'm here"
"Hold on-"
Issei suddenly charged forward.
"I'm going to send you back to your church!" yelled Issei as he charged the priest.
The priest waited until Issei was near before delivering a hit to the boy's torso.
"You should have stayed at your place" Kotomine raised his foot to crush Issei's head but…
"Father Kotomine! Please wait!"
Kotomine turned to Irina as he stared at her "Why did you stop me?"
"This is Issei! Even if he's a devil, he's still my childhood friend"
"I see" replied the priest before crushing the boy's shoulder "This will teach him to underestimate his opponent"
'Hey, I need some help here'
Passionlip appeared beside him.
"Y-you called, Master?"
"Yes, can you deal with this guy?"
"How ignorant can you be?" said the priest as he recoiled his sleeve, revealing red marks "Attack the Devils"
Markus was forced to use his speed to dodge attacks from the girl.
"M-Master! Please, go away! I… I can't control myself!"
"What the hell did you do?"
"This is the effect of my Sacred Gear, the Commandment Spells" said Kotomine as he walked to Rias "Now then, where can I find my daughter?"
The next swing was barely dodged, his uniform wasn't so lucky.
"I… I don't know"
"I see" Kotomine looked at Passionlip "Kill the Devil"
"Wait!" called Rias "I… I'll tell you"
"Stand down" He will look at them before smirking "You're lucky that they sent me, and not the Angel's Dust"
Rias led him away, Markus had to hold his crying familiar.
[I think that you should comfort her]
'I know, I know…'
"I-i'm sorry! I-"
"Its ok, it wasn't your fault"
XXXXXXXXX
After a while, Rias and her peerage were sitting in the Club room. Their moral wasn't really high at the moment; they just got beaten by a single man, and they were spared because of Irina.
"Buchou…" called Akeno "We just received a message from the Underworld…"
"I'm punished, aren't I?"
"They said that you could have started a war by your actions…"
[I think that's your fault]
'Gee, thanks partner'
[If only you didn't kidnap that church girl]
'I thought she would be useful'
[If you end up in a bad situation, you can always ask him for help]
'...I don't
[You know how powerful he can be]
'I'm not sure if that's the best idea right now'
Rias called out to them.
"Listen, it seems like the church is going to forgive this on one condition…"
'Oh boy…'
"We should hunt and kill a G Class Stray"
"A what?"
"G Class Strays are more powerful than the Devil King" replied Akeno "There's only few that can go to become G Class, but it's so impossible to fight them… that it takes an army led by the four Maous to kill just one"
"How the hell do they expect us to do that by ourselves?"
"They must really be pissed at us" said Issei as Asia healed his shoulder.
"We did kidnap the daughter of a high placed member" Rias took a deep breath before adding "The G Class Stray is in a warehouse, just outside the city border. We will go and kill it tonight"
'We're screwed'
[not nessesarily]
'I'm not calling him, not yet'
[Maybe your new Familiar will feel better if she helps you on this one]
'This thing will kill us all'
[I evaluated her power level when you made a pact with her, and let me tell you that she's more powerful than a G Class Stray… maybe…]
'maybe?'
[Just give it a try]
'I'm blaming you if this goes wrong'
After a while Rias and the others found themselves outside the warehouse in question.
"Listen" said Rias with fear in her voice "If things start to be difficult… retreat, don't sacrifice your life for nothing"
"I wont let that happen"
"This is a G Class Stray, and I don't want anyone to die"
"Let me take the lead"
"Just… just be careful"
They entered and noticed that nothing could be seen as it was pitch black.
"Is he really here?" asked Issei.
"Wait...I hear something"
"Why are you here?"
"Are you the G Class Stray?"
"So the devils finally decided to come after me? And they sent a group of children for that?"
"Don't underestimate us"
"You… I feel like you have something that's really powerful inside you…"
"Perhaps"
"Don't make me laugh, I'm strong enough to kill every last one of you"
The doors closed behind them.
"The dark is my element, you devils made a grave mistake by coming here at this moment"
Markus blurred to the side, avoiding something.
"You're fast, I'll give you that… but…"
Something struck him, it moved too fast for his senses to detect.
"Markus!" Rias yelled before launching her power to a wall that was destroyed.
"The power of Destruction, the only power that can destroy anything… anything but me"
"
"**I'm more than powerful, I already faced someone who wields that power, and he didn't even landed a single attack on me**"
[Call her]
'Are you sure?'
[Trust me, she possess all ten divine weapons of Durga in those claws of her]
Markus sighed and summoned his familiar.
"Y-You called for me?"
"That is a G class Stray"
"R-Right, I'll do it"
"This feeling…"
"You underestimated us"
"She won't be able to hurt me if she doesn't see me"
"Quick make a whole in the ceiling"
"R-Right…"
Passionlips raised her hands to the ceiling and fired her clawed hand that returned to her when a large portion of the ceiling was destroyed. It was there that they saw it, the Stray… He appears to be a young man with ninja clothes, but had black scales that were running through all of his arms and wings, as well as long black spiked hair, and a black tail.
"How about now?"
"Being able to see me isn't enough to beat me"
"We'll see about that"
"Why should I fear dogs who don't even know what's really happening in the world?"
"What are you talking about?" asked Rias.
[something is wrong…]
"You don't even know what are the plans of those who want your destruction?"
"What are you talking about?"
"I went there and saw everything, but the others dismissed it as a lie and told me to bring a real thing"
"And what would that be?"
"**What they want is to free-**"
Before that he could continue what he was about to say, a nail pierced his stomach from behind and a black ooze began to envelop him before being absorbed by the nail. The devil only saw a pair of armored legs with a big nail in each knee and a pair of blue eyes as the top was hidden by the shadows.
"Y-You…"
[that power…]
Passionlip was terrified, something was definitely wrong.
The figure looked at them before disappearing in a magical circle.
"What the hell was that?"
"I… I think that's my sister"
"That didn't look like a Dragon"
"N-Not Big sis Tia, but my real sister, Meltlilith"
