Well, before starting the story I'd like to answer some reviews:

Hellspam: Thanks I'm glad that you enjoyed the chapter, and those two songs would probably go well with the story if it was canon. And yes, the fight between them is going to deadly.

Yandere lover: That actually sounds like a good idea…and also hilarious.

Thanks for those who reviewed. Now, let's get to the chapter.

Destroy the Holy Swords

On their next day off, Lance was standing on top of the rooftop of a building in the city wearing an Exorcist's robe with the hoodie covering his face. Lance then closed his eyes and started trying to sense out the holy aura that was being released from the Excalibur fragments, but he couldn't sense anything.

"Tsk, I thought a guy like that would be parading Excalibur Rapidly around."

BEEP BEEP

Lance then made a slightly confused expression on his face as he heard his cellphone beginning to ring, he pulled his phone out of his pocket and placed it to his ear.

"Hello?"

{Hey Lance, can you meet up somewhere?}

"Uh, sure. What do you mean by…?"

{Whaaaa…let me go!}

Lance removed his cellphone from his ear as he heard a large scream on the other end of the line, he then asked with a slightly confused expression on his face.

"Who was that?!"

{I'll explain later, just meet us near the train station.}

Issei then hung up the cellphone, leaving Lance with a confused expression on his face and he sighed slightly. Once had had finally made it towards the train station, he looked and saw Issei and Van along with Koneko who was holding a blonde haired, gray eyes and wearing the Kuoh Academy uniform without the blazer. He then deadpanned and he saw the mysterious teen trying to run away from Koneko's grasps.

"Genshirou Saji? Did you seriously kidnap Sona's Pawn?"

"He was being a bit…uncooperative. Like I said, there was something that I wanted to explain."

Issei then began explaining how he wanted to ask both Irina and Xenovia to help them in destroying the Excalibur Fragments, once he looked towards the three of them with one eye open.

"Have you guys completely lost it?"

"We just wanted to help Kiba get over his grudge against Excalibur."

"Look, I've known Kiba for a long time and I've even trained with him…he isn't going to get over his grudge unless he fights against Excalibur or the bastards who came up with that experiment in the first place."

"So, after what had happened yesterday you guys still want to get involved with this."

Lance then looked down as he felt someone tugging at his shirt, he then looked down and saw Koneko looking at him with saddened expression.

"…Lance-Senpai, would you please help us?"

Lance then broke out into a slightly goofy smile and he immediately wrapped his arms around Koneko, and started rubbing his cheek against Koneko's who made a slightly embarrassed expression.

"Of course, I'm sure they wouldn't mind having an extra hand."

"So the rumors about him having a weakness for cute things are true."

"Yep, he's probably fight against a God if she asked."

"No, but I'll definitely punch two Dragons in the face and yes that includes you to Saji."

At Lance's sudden declaration, both Issei and Saji made a slightly frightened expression on their face, but Saji made a confused expression.

"How did you know about…?"

"There's nothing that can stay hidden from me for long especially when it comes with Sacred Gears. Yours is slightly stronger than a normal Dragon Type, so it has to have something strong sealed inside of it, but it's also weaker…the Dragon King, Vritra, but it's a single piece. So, I'm going to have to say you're Sacred Gear is Absorption Line."

"Y-You're right, but that was too accurate."

"I've always had an interest in Sacred Gears…I really don't completely know why. So, let's go meet up with Iri-Chan and Xenovia."

They then started walking around the city trying to search for both of the Exorcists, Lance started looking around until he heard a familiar voice.

"Lance-Kun!"

He turned his head and saw Irina carrying a painting in her arms, with Xenovia making an annoyed expression on her face.

"Iri-Chan what's that in your hands?"

"This is a picture of a Saint that I bought."

Irina then showed them the painting with Lance, Issei, Van, Saji and Koneko looking at the painting with a deadpanned expression on their faces. The painting was of a male foreigner wearing poor clothing, with baby angels floating in the air with trumpets in their hands. Lance sighed and looked towards Irina with a wondering expression on his face.

"Iri-Chan, was the guy who sold you this painting a man in his thirties, dark clothing and sunglasses?"

"Uh, yes how did you know?"

"Oh, nothing Iri-Chan."

"Lance?"

Lance then turned towards Issei as he tapped him on his shoulder, after he went towards him and they started whispering.

"What was that about?"

"There was another request about a couple days ago, a foreigner came to town and was conned by some guy selling fake paining. I thought we had an understanding, but I guess I was wrong."

As they were whispering to each other, they later heard both Xenovia and Irina getting into an argument with each other.

"That paintings obviously a fake."

"What are you saying? This painting has the drawing of someone who looks like a saint! That's what the person in the exhibition said as well!"

"Then do you know who the person in the drawing is? I certainly don't."

Irina then stare examining the picture intently before answered with a slight uncertainty.

"…I think it's…Saint…Peter…?"

At her response everyone face faulted forward, with Xenovia sighting out of irradiation and annoyance towards her partner.

"Don't mess around. Saint Peter wouldn't look like this."

"No, he must have looked like this! I'm sure about it!"

"Aaah, why did my partner have to be someone like you…God, is this also a trial?"

"Hey don't hold your head down. You really get depressed when you are down, don't you."

"Shut up! That's why the Protestants are called heretics! You guys have different beliefs than us Catholics! Show more respect to the saints!"

"What! What's wrong, it is Catholicism where they still abide by the old law!"

Lance and the others started looking at both of them as they continued having their argument with each other about their separate beliefs.

""What did you say, Heretic?!""

"Have they been like this…?"

Lance sighed slightly while scratching the back of his head, as both Irina and Xenovia started butting their head against each other.

"They did this all day yesterday, and the only thing that I asked was how that met."

Lance then turned towards both Irina and Xenovia, he then clapped his hands together making a loud noise to gain their attending.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your…discussion, but Ise-Kun, Koneko-Chan and Van came here to negotiate with both of you. We can discuss it at the restaurant where I first took you guys."

Once they were all seated at the restaurant with the waitress bringing them their drinks, as everyone began drinking their perspective beverages. Once Xenovia was done she placed her empty cup on the table, and she asked plainly as Lance sat next to her and Irina drinking coffee.

"So, why did you come to us?"

"You two came to this country to retrieve the Excaliburs, right?"

"That's right. We already told you that before."

"I want to help you destroy the Excaliburs."

Both of them looked towards Issei with a confused expression on their face, Xenovia then looked towards him with a wondering expression on her face.

"Yeah. Maybe it's okay leaving one sword to you guys. If you can destroy it, that is. But make sure that your identities aren't revealed. We also don't want our high-ups and enemies to think that we are connected to you guys."

Issei was surprised by Xenovia's clam response, while Lance smiled slightly and placed his empty coffee cup on the table.

"Hey Xenovia. Are you sure? Even if it's Ise-kun, he's still a devil, you know?"

"Oh come on Iri-Chan, he's still the same Hard Worker with a Heart of Gold."

"Irina. To tell you the truth, it would be easy to retrieve the three Excaliburs with Lance's help, but there's no guarantee that even if his help we'll be able to fight against Kokabiel without casualties."

"I know that. But...!"

"The minimum objectives we have to achieve are destroying the three Excaliburs or take them back. If our Excaliburs are going to be stolen as well then we should break them before it happens. Even if we use the last resort, there's only a 50 percent chance that we will succeed in our mission and return home safely."

"Even so, we thought that the success rate was high enough to come to this country prepared to put our life on the line."

"Yeah. The high-ups also told us to continue with our mission as well and dispatched us to this country. It's almost self-sacrifice."

"And isn't that what we, the followers, desire for?"

"I changed my mind. My beliefs are flexible. So I can act in the best way."

"You! I have been thinking about it for a long time, but your faith is a bit weird!"

"I won't deny it. But I think that it's our duty to accomplish our mission and return safely. I'm going to live and continue fighting for God. Am I wrong?"

"…You are not wrong. But..."

Irina made a slightly confused expression on her face, by what Xenovia was saying, until she clarified it more for her.

"That's why we won't ask for help from the devils. Instead we ask for help from a dragon. The high-ups didn't tell us not to borrow the strength of a dragon."

"She's correct even if he's a Devil, he's still the mighty Welsh Dragon."

"I never thought that I would meet the host of the Welsh Dragon in a distant country like this. Even if you turned into a Devil, I see that the Dragon's power within you is still present. If it's like the legend says, then you can increase your power to that of a Maou especial with the power of your Balance Breaker, correct? If you gain a power to that of a Maou, then you can break the Excaliburs without a sweat. I also think that it was God's doing that we had this meeting."

"Ce…certainly they didn't tell us not to borrow the power of a Dragon…But you are just saying nonsense! Your belief is certainly weird!"

"Weird is fine with me. But, Irina. He's your childhood friend, right? Let's trust him. The power of a dragon."

"Okay. The negotiation is a success. I will lend you guys my Ddraig's power. Then can I call my partner for this cooperation, then?"

Issei then pulled out his cellphone and called Kiba, once he had arrived he ordered the coffee and took a sip of coffee before speaking.

"I understand the situation."

Van then sighed slightly and asked.

"But?"

"To tell the truth, I feel unsatisfied when the wielders of the Excaliburs are giving me the permission to destroy it."

"That's a rough way to speak. If you were a stray devil, I would have cut you down without any time to spare."

Both Kiba and Xenovia then started glaring towards each other, until Irina spoke up.

"So you do still hold a grudge regarding the Holy Sword Project, against the Church and the Excaliburs."

"Obviously."

"But Kiba-kun. Thanks to that project, the research on holy-sword users showed results. That's why it created people like Xenovia and I who can synchronize with the Holy Swords."

Kiba immediately sharpened his eyes at Irina's words.

"Do you think it's a forgiving act to kill all the test subjects because the project was thought to be a failure?"

Irina didn't even know how to respond to his words, Xenovia then interjected and stated.

"That incident also became one of the worst cases among us and people felt disgusted about it. The person in charge of that project at that time was said to have a problem with his belief. So he was charged with heresy. Now he's one of those people on the Fallen Angel's side."

"On the Fallen Angel's side? What's the name of that person?"

"…Balba Galilei. The man who is called the 'Genocide Archbishop'."

"…If I go after Fallen Angels, then can I reach him…"

"Don't go all genocide against the entire Fallen Angels, I'll tell you this there are people there are Humans and Hybrids who wield Sacred Gears user who can mop the floor with you in seconds…especially Azazel's three favorites. Plus if you go after both Freed and Kokabiel, you'll probably run into him."

"Anyway let's move onto the cooperation strategy."

Xenovia took out a pen and used it to write on a memo pad, she then gave Issei and the others her contact details. Once they were finished they left the restaurant leaving Lance and the others there by themselves with a question on Kiba's mind.

"…Ise-kun. Why did you do this?"

"Well we are comrades. And we belong to the same group. And you helped me out before as well. It's not like I'm trying to repay you, but I thought I would give you a hand this time."

"If I act by myself, then I would cause trouble for Buchou. That's also the reason, right?"

"Of course. Buchou would get sad if you were to go around in a rampage. Well, the fact that I made this plan by myself will cause trouble to Buchou as well. But it's better than you becoming a stray, right? Well it turned out to be a success, since we made an agreement with those guys from the Church."

"Also if you were to get yourself killed, I'd be bored."

Kiba still didn't look satisfied by both Issei's and Van's response, he then looked and noticed Koneko looking at him with a saddened expression on her face.

"…Yuuto-Senpai. I would get lonely…if Senpai disappeared."

Koneko-Chan put on a sad face, Kiba's expression changed slightly and Koneko continued her explanation.

"…I will help you…that's why please don't go."

Kiba then made a troubled expression on his face, before he started laughing to himself and he responded with his usual refreshing smile.

"Hahaha. I give up. If Koneko-Chan says that to me, then I can't do reckless things. Okay. I will work with you. Thanks to Ise-kun, Van and Lance-Kun, I know who my true enemy is. But since we are doing this, we are definitely going to defeat the Excalibur."

"Okay! Now we have formed the group to destroy the Excalibur! Let's defeat the stolen Excalibur and that shit Freed!"

While Issei was pumped to get started Saji wasn't so pumped, and then he asked with a confused expression on his face.

"I'm totally uninvolved in this…after all, how are Kiba and Excalibur related?"

"…Let's talk a bit."

Kiba later told them in full detail everything that had happened while he was involved with the Holy Sword Project along with the orphaned children.

"…Everyone died. They were killed. Killed by those who serve God. No one saved us. Just because we couldn't use the Holy Swords. Other boys and girls were put under poisonous gas while still alive. They put poisonous gas on us while saying amen. We vomited blood and suffered on the floor. Even so, we were seeking help from God. I want to accomplish my comrades' regrets. No, I don't want to make their deaths be in vain. I need to keep on living in their place, and I have to prove that I am stronger than Excalibur."

Everyone then started hearing someone crying, they then turned their heads and saw that Saji had tears flowing down his face and he took Kiba's hand.

"Kiba! It must have been horrible! It must have been painful! Damn it! There isn't any God or hope in this world! Right now I feel so much sympathy for you! Yeah, it's a horrible story! I understand why you hold a grudge against those people from the church and Excalibur!"

Saji then wiped away his tears and then looked directly into Kiba's eyes with a saddened expression.

"To tell you the truth, I didn't like you before because you were a good looking guy…But it's different now! I will also help! I'm willing to receive the punishment from Kaichou! But before that we have to destroy Excalibur! I will also work hard! You also have to live on! Don't ever betray Rias-Senpai who saved you! Okay! It's a good time! I want you guys to hear my story! You guys should know about me if we are working together!"

Saji clenched his fist tightly and his eyes were basically sparkling.

"My dream is to…work hard in becoming a High-Class Devil and eventually to make my parents proud by becoming a teacher. But before doing that, I want to make Kaichou proud by helping her succeed in her own dream for the Underworld…and I don't care if there's a slim chance of it succeeding."

Everyone looked towards Saji with a slightly surprised expression on their face, but they were stopped as they heard someone else sniffling. And they noticed that Issei was crying slightly after hearing Saji's dream along with his declaration.

"Saji! Listen to me! My aim to the make Buchou proud, and help her win every Rating Game!"

Both of them were completely moved by what each other were saying and both of them grasp each others hands.

""Let's become Pawns who make their Master's proud!""

Everyone were looking at him with a slightly amused expression on their face by both of the Pawns goals in life, Lance then smirked slightly and commented.

"A brotherly bond between Pawns."

"It's like looking in a mirror."

"Waitress, can I have another coffee?"

Lance called over the waitress who had brought over another cup of coffee for Lance, he smirked and started drinking with a relieved expression on his face.

"Ahh, there's nothing like a good cup of coffee to get a guy relaxed."

"So, why don't we stay here and just chat?"

After they had sat down all of them started talking with each other, without mentioning the Excaliburs, Kokabiel or the Psychopathic Stray Priest. Once they had finished, they had returned to their perspective homes. When Lance made it back to his house, he opened the door noticing that the lights were off and saw Xenovia on the couch watching a horror movie while eating popcorn.

"Why're the light off?"

"Iyaaaaah!"

Lance immediately heard a slight cute scream coming from Xenovia while she spilled the popcorn, but he was stopped as she slashed Excalibur Destruction towards him out of fear. Lance pulled out Secace and blocked her attack with a slightly terrified expression on his face. He then turned his head and saw that she was watching 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' on the TV in the living room.

"Oh, my god. Did you watch the entire series?"

"I-It was my first time actually watching a horror movie, but I never thought that it'd be this horrifying. They kept killing him, but he kept on coming back and haunted their dreams."

Lance then sighed and lowered down Excalibur away from his throat, and placed Secace back in its dimensional storage.

"Well, I'd advise not watching them alone in the dark."

"…I wasn't."

Lance looked at her with a confused expression on his face, he then started hearing faint praying and he started walking towards the far end of the couch. And he saw Irina curled up shaking out of fear, she then looked up and immediately wrapped her arms around Lance.

"Waah! Lance-Kun! That was horrifying!"

"There, there Iri-Chan. I thought that you swore you'd never watch another horror movie after you watched the one with the murderous clown and you couldn't approach a clown for seven months without screaming or running away. Alright, I that it's time for everyone to get some rest. We still have to deal with…."

"Uh, Lance-Kun can I sleep in your bed again?"

"I-I'm not scared or anything…but could I join you?"

Lance then gave both of them calculating expression on his face before smiling devilishly, he then gasped dramatically and pointed behind them.

"Oh my god, it's Freddy Krueger!"

""Iyaaaaah!""

Irina immediately grabbed her crucifix and started praying, while Xenovia pointed her Excalibur Destruction towards that direction with a terrified expression on her face. She then sighed out of irritation and turned back towards Lance, with her expression more embarrassed than angry as Lance started laughing at their reaction.

"Yea, sure you guys can sleep in my bed with both me and Iri-Chan."

Lance then sent Xenovia a sincere heart warming smile, a warm sensation then went through Xenovia's entire body and she started blushing intensely. Xenovia quickly looked away slightly confusing Lance, and she thought.

"Wh-What's this feeling? My heart immediately felt…elated."

After they had taken a bath, both Irina and Xenovia lied down in Lance's bed wearing one of his shirts him lying down in the middle of them causing Lance to blush slightly.

"Lance-Kun do you mind if we pray before we go to sleep?"

"Go on ahead, I don't know why but hearing a good prayer always puts me in a good mood."

Both Irina and Xenovia, placed their hands together and began to pray while facing the ceiling.

"We pray to the Lord that he protects us while we sleep, that he guides us towards the right path and that he assists us in protecting those we cherish."

As Lance was listening to them praying, without understanding why Lance immediately felt more relaxed than he felt all day. Once they were finished Irina rested her head on Lance's chest with a bright smile on her face and she said.

"Good night, Lance-Kun. Xenovia."

"Good night, Iri-Chan. Xenovia."

"…Good night."

The three of them then went asleep with Irina cuddling up to Lance and Xenovia facing away from them with an embarrassed expression on her face.

Hours passed and as the sun started beaming down on Lance's face, he started stirring awake as the sunlight started beaming down on his face. Lance started yawning as he opened his eyes, but he was stopped as he felt someone grabbing onto him and he was then pulled into someone's breast. Lance's eyes widened out of shock as he realized that it was Xenovia who was still asleep, and he tried getting out of her grasp.

"I-Is she still asleep?! How the hell is she this strong?!"

Lance later heard the door to his room opening, Irina then walked into the room with a smile on her face and he said.

"Lance-Kun, Xenovia breakfast is…."

Irina then looked forward and noticed that Xenovia was bear hugging Lance into her breasts, her face started turning bright red with anger and she shouted.

"XENOVIA!"

Few Days Later

At night Issei, Kiba, Van, Koneko and Saji were all dressed in priest's uniforms and wearing fake crucifixes after they were finally finished with their club activities. Van then took off the hood that was covering his face with an annoyed expression on his face, while everyone else made a tired expression on their face.

"Well, this was a bust."

"Fuu. No progress today as well."

As they were walking forward Kiba suddenly stopped in front of everyone with a cold expression on his face, with Koneko sensing something around them.

"…Yuuto-Senpai."

"There's someone around here."

Kiba's eyes widened out of nowhere and he suddenly looked up towards the air and shouted.

"Look up!"

Everyone then looked up and saw Freed coming down towards them with Excalibur Rapidly in his hands, Kiba then manifested a Demonic Sword and blocked Freed's attack. Once Issei saw Freed, he started gritted his teeth out of irritation and shouted.

"Freed!"

"Is that voice you, Ise-Kun? Heeee, it seems you've become a Shitty Devil. Well, isn't this a weird?! Has your Dragon power increased? Is it alright to kill you now?"

Everyone of them removed their priest outfits and revealed their school uniforms under them, Issei held his fist out and called out.

"Boosted Gear!"

[Boost]

Issei's Boosted great made it's announcement with Van holding his hand out and summoning Muramasa in his hand. Saji then charged forward towards Freed with his left hand glowing with a bright purple light, he then thrust his hand forward and shouted.

"Stretch my line!"

On Saji's hand a cute looking deformed lizard face was equipped onto his hand, a purple glowing line that came from its mouth and stretched towards Freed.

On Saji's hand there was a cute looking deformed lizard face equipped. The line was coming from its mouth. Freed then looked towards the line and clicked his tongue out of irritation.

"Such a pain!"

Freed slashed his Excalibur Rapidly towards the purple line trying to knock it away, but the line changed in another direction. It then wrapped around Freed's right foot, he then slashed his sword downwards trying to cut it, but it wouldn't cut through.

"You can't cut it that easily. Kiba! With this he can't escape! Beat him down!"

"Thank you!"

After thanking Saji, Kiba rushed towards Freed with two Demonic Swords in his hand with both being Holy Erasers.

"Chi! So it's not only the Holy Eraser, I see! Having multiple Demonic Swords. Are you the possessor of Sword Birth, perhaps? Wow. You are guilty of having a rare Sacred Gear, you know! But, normal Demonic Swords can't put up a challenge against…"

As Kiba's Holy Erasers started clashing against Freed's Excalibur Rapidly, he then looked forward as both of his Demonic Swords were broken apart in a single slash.

"…my Excalibur-Chan."

Kiba then created more Demonic Swords, but each of them were broken with a single attack from Freed's Excalibur Rapidly. Van started making an annoyed expression on his face by what was happening and prepared his Muramasa.

"Dammit, Kiba I'm joining you!"

"I can still go on!"

"Van, why won't you give Kiba your Muramasa."

"I can't, I've had to train intensely to be able to use it for at least a couple of minutes without stopping…if Kiba uses it he won't be able to fight for much longer."

"Hahaha! The way you look at my Excalibur is scary. Do you perhaps hold a grudge against it? Well I don't know what happened to you! But if you get cut by this, you can't avoid being eliminated without a trace you know? You will die, you know! You are going to die! Just die!"

Freed then jumped towards Kiba using his Excalibur's ability with Kiba continuing to summon more Demonic Swords, but each of them were destroyed by Freed's Excalibur swords with a single slash. As Kiba was gritting his teeth after seeing how much he was struggling against Freed, he then felt himself being lifted into the air. He looked down hesitantly and saw Koneko holding him up effortlessly.

"…Ise-Senpai. Please help Yuuto-Senpai."

Koneko then threw him towards Kiba without any effort, Issei then started screaming as he was flying towards Kiba.

"Kibaaaaaaaa! I will transfer my power to youuuu!"

"Uwah! Ise-kun!"

[Transfer]

Once he placed his hand on Kiba, he then transferred his power to Kiba and he immediately felt a large amount flowing through his body.

"…I have to use it since I received it! Sword Birth!"

As Kiba activated his Sacred Gear, a large number of Demonic Swords with different shapes and sizes began coming from the ground. Freed then clicked his tongue out of irritation and he started slashing apart each of the Demonic Swords that were flung towards him. Kiba grabbed one of his Demonic Swords and charged towards Freed, using the Demonic Swords as a platform.

"Uhaa! That is a good circus trick! You rotten devil!"

Freed then started knocking away the Demonic Swords one after another with a deranged expression on his face, and he began laughing.

"My Excalibur is Excalibur Rapidly! In terms of velocity, it won't lose to anything!"

The tip of Excalibur Rapidly started vibrating at an insanely fast rate until it disappeared due to the immense velocity. Freed then started destroying each of the Demonic Swords and rushed towards Kiba, with his sword directed at him.

"It's not working!"

"DIE!"

"Like I would let you!"

Before Freed could make it towards Kiba, Van threw Muramasa towards Freed's path and Freed felt his body being pulled back by Saji's Absorption Line along with his power being absorbed.

"…This is!? Shit! Are you absorbing my powers!?"

"Heh! How's that! This is my Sacred Gear Absorption Line! As long as this line is connected to you, your power will continue to be absorbed by my Sacred Gear! Yeah! Until you lose your consciousness that is!"

"…Dragon-Type Sacred Gear is it!? The most troublesome type. The initial ability isn't that much of a threat. But when it grows, the destructible power surpasses other Sacred Gears on a whole different level. Scary. Man, it is such a nuisance!"

Again Freed attempted to cut off the line with his Excalibur Rapidly, but it wouldn't cut off of his leg no matter how hard he tried.

"Kiba! It's not the time to be complaining! Just beat that guy! The problem with the Excalibur can come after that! This guy is seriously dangerous! Just standing in front of him makes me tremble! If we leave him be, he will also cause harm to me and Kaichou! I will weaken him by absorbing his power with my Sacred Gear, so take him down at once!"

Kiba made a complicated expression and charged towards Freed with more Demonic Swords in his hand.

"…I feel reluctant, but I also agree to finish you off here. There's still two more Excaliburs which were stolen. I will have to hope that the other two are strong."

"Ha! I'm stronger than the other two, you know? So! The moment you five beat me, there aren't others who will put up with you guys! Are you sure? If you kill me, you won't have any Holy Sword battle that would satisfy you."

"Hmmm. Sword Birth huh? It's a Sacred Gear which can have an infinite number of powers depending on the possessor."

At that moment everyone heard an elderly unfamiliar voice and quickly turned towards the source, they then turned around and saw an old man wearing priest clothing with a smile on his face.

"…Is it you old man Balba?"

Everyone then became shocked after hearing the old man's voice, while Kiba's face became distorted with anger and rage.

"…Balba Galilei!"

Freed. What are you doing?"

"Old man! I can't run away because of this guy's weird lizard tongue!"

"You still can't use the Holy Sword perfectly yet. Use the element I gave you more wisely. I'm researching because of that. Gather the holy element which is running throughout your body to the blade of the Holy Sword. With that, you should be able to cut it."

"Yeah, yeah!"

Freed then began concentrating on his Excalibur Rapidly, with it's holy aura starting to increase with a massive aura.

"Like this! Hroyah!"

He then smirked sadistically and slashed his sword downwards towards Absorption Line, he then cut through it with ease.

"I will be escaping now! The next time we meet will be the time of our ultimate battle!"

"Not this time!"

Lance then came diving towards Freed with Secace clenched in his hand, Freed then smirked sadistically and charged towards him.

"Hah! Ready for round two Knight Boy!"

"Yea, as long as you don't run away like a scared child again."

Freed then charged towards Lance with a sadistic grin, and sent out an insanely fast barrage of attacks using Excalibur Rapidly's ability. Lance narrowed his eyes and started deflecting each of Freed's attacks with little to no effort. Lance stepped back away and sent Freed flying backwards with a single kick, Balba then looked towards Lance with a wondering expression on his face.

"…That boy."

At that moment, both Irina and Xenovia appeared with their Excalibur Destruction and Mimic in their hands directing their attention towards Freed and Balba.

"Freed Sellzen. Balba Galilei. Rebels. I will cut you both down in the name of God!"

"Ha! Don't say the name of the hateful God that I hate! You bitch!"

Freed stepped away from Lance and took something from his pocket, while going towards Balba.

"Old-man Balba! We are escaping! We are going to report to the boss!"

Freed then threw down a ball of light onto the ground creating a blinding light, once everyone regained their sight both Freed and Balba were gone.

"You're not getting away this time!"

"We are going after them Irina."

"Okay!"

"I'm going after them too! I won't let you escape Balba Galilei!"

"Dammit Kiba!"

Suddenly Lance, Xenovia, Irina, Kiba and Van started chasing after both of Freed and Balba leaving the remaining three standing there with their own issues to deal with. After a couple of minutes, the five of them split up to track down the Stray Exorcist and Priest. Lance started looked around with an annoyed expression on his face.

"They couldn't have gotten far!"

As Lance continued running forward with an ominous feeling beginning to go through his body, he gritted his teeth as a light spear was close to piercing his back. Lance then rotated his body around and sliced away the light spear with Secace. Within seconds another light spear appeared in front of his face, reacting quickly Lance moved his head out of the way with a gash mark appearing on his left cheek.

Lance narrowed his eyes as he wiped away the blood from his mouth, he looked up into the air and noticed a guy in black robes with ten black Fallen Angel wings coming from his back. Once the Fallen Angel looked down towards Lance he narrowed his eyes.

"You truly did inherit both of your parents features, but he have you damned mother's face and eyes."

"Can we save the chit chat and skip to the part where I plant my fist firmly in your face."

"There's your father's famous snark, well I just came to drop this trash off before meeting with Rias Gremory."

Lance looked towards him with a curious expression on his face, but his eyes widened at who he had saw in Kokabiel's hands. Irina was being held up by her throat covered with several physical injuries and barely breathing, without caring he dropped her towards the ground.

Lance immediately rushed towards her with his arms held out and he caught her just before she hit the ground. Lance then cradled her in his arms and started checking on her condition, he then looked down and noticed that her was still alive.

"Iri-Chan!"

"That bitch along with those other two found out where I was…so I gave her a proper…"

Kokabiel looked down and noticed that Irina was still lying down on the ground, but Lance had suddenly vanished from sight. He then looked up towards the ground after sensing an intense killing intent coming from above him, he looked up and saw Lance diving towards him with his foot coming downwards. Kokabiel crossed his arms and blocked his attack, but he immediately felt the force of the attack. He then looked forward and noticed that Lance's eyes was glowing green with his pupils slitted.

"Oh, interesting it seems you're War God mode is still underdeveloped. Sorry, but I don't have time play with you."

Kokabiel then held out his freehand and threw a light spear towards Irina who was still knocked out. Lance then clicked his tongue and went towards the light spear with his hand held out, Kokabiel laughed loudly and flew away. The force from the light spear created a large cloud of dust, once it cleared Lance was seen holding onto the light spear with his bare hand and his sleeve was tattered. Lance gritted his teeth with an annoyed expression on his face, he then clenched his fist and crushed the light spear.

"I'm going to…."

"L-Lance-Kun…"

Lance eyes then turned back to normal as he heard Irina's weak voice, he then kneeled down and looked at her as her with sad eyes. He then picked her up bridal style and he smiled at her with his usual expression.

"Come on try and get some sleep, I promise that I'll be there when you wake back up and everything will be alright."

"Y-You promise?"

"Come on, when have you ever known me to break a promise? Now try and get some sleep."

Lance then leaned his head down towards her and kissed her on her cheek, she smiled brightly and closed her eyes. Once her eyes were closed, Lance narrowed his eyes angrily and a magic circle appeared under him. Both of them were then instantly transported to his bedroom, he walked over and placed her under his sheets.

Lance then placed his hand on hers, while breathing outwards and a green aura started overflowing around her entire body. And her wounds started healing, and her breathing started returning to normal. Lance then smiled after hearing her breathing returning to normal.

"I'm not as skilled as Asia-Chan, but I can at least do this much."

Lance then left the room with Irina resting under the bed sheets and closed the door behind him, he then left the house with his attention now directed towards Kuoh Academy and he started running towards that direction.

"I'm coming for you."

At Kuoh Academy, the Student Council members had placed a large barrier around the entire school where Kokabiel was inside. Issei was currently on his cellphone trying to contact Lance, Van and Kiba, but he had got nothing.

"Why aren't those guys answering?"

"Where are they?"

Issei shook his head and closed his cellphone, Sona later approached Rias with a perplexed expression on her face along with Saji.

"Rias-Senpai. We have covered the school with a large barrier. With this, unless something disastrous happens, there will be no damage outside."

"This is to keep it to the minimum. To tell you the truth, if Kokabiel were to fight seriously, not only this academy, but the whole region would be annihilated. Adding to that, he has already gotten ready for that. My servant has seen him releasing his power at the school grounds."

Rias nodded her head in agreement to what both Sona and Saji had explained.

"We understand that."

"My servants and I will continue to place the barrier to reduce the damages. I want to minimize the damages as much as possible…. It's hard to prevent having our school getting damaged. But it looks like we have to since it's the leader of the Fallen Angels who is moving."

"Thank you, Sona. We will do the rest from here."

"Rias. Our enemy is a monster with strength above ours. It's still not too late. We should get your Onii-Sama…."

"You also didn't call your Onee-Sama."

"My Onee-Sama is…Your -Sama loves you. Sirzechs-Sama will definitely move. So…"

"I have already informed Sirzechs-Sama."

Rias looked towards Akeno with a shocked expression on her face and she exclaimed.

"Akeno!"

"Rias. I know that you don't want to cause problems for Sirzechs-Sama. It happened in your territory. In your base. And it happened after the family problem. But it's a different story if the leader of the enemy appears. It is a problem which surpasses the level that you can solve. Let's borrow the strength of a Maou."

Rias took a deep breath and nodded, Akeno-San put on her usual smiley face after she saw the expression on her face.

"Thank you for understanding the situation, Buchou. Sona-Sama. Sirzechs-Sama and his reinforcements will be here in one hour."

"One hour…I understand. In that time, we, the Student Council, will vow to continue to place the barriers in the name of Sitri."

Buchou seemed like she had made her decision as well after hearing Kaichou's decision.

"…So one hour. Now my servants. We will be on the offensive. We will go inside the barrier and draw attention. Unlike the battle against Phenex, this is a battle of life and death! Even so, I will not forgive you if you die! We will survive and continue to attend that school!"

[Yes!]

As everyone were preparing to enter the school, Saji approached him with his fist held out and both of them fist butted with a smirk on their face.

"Hyoudou! I will leave the rest to you."

"I know that, Saji. You should worry about the damages on your ass."

Saji made a strained expression after hearing that and remembered the pain he had felt after his punishment from Sona.

"Don't say that! It feels like it will hurt even more if you say that! How about your ass?"

"Fufufu. Buchou's love certainly hurts. Well the situation right now is the same as having our asses on fire."

"No, no. I can't laugh at that. So Kiba and Van aren't here yet? Well the same thing goes for Lance."

"I believe Kiba is coming. And I knew Lance since we were kids, and even hell itself won't stop him from fighting someone."

Saji then turned around and started walking towards them, with Issei starting to walk towards the school building along with the others and he started walking with Ddraig.

So Ddraig, do you think that I can beat him?

[You aren't at the current level where you'd be able to fight against him yet, but with your Balance Breaker you'd be able to stun him until the Maou get here…though be wary of the time limit.]

"Right…besides there's still so much that I need to do. So I'm not dying here."

A/N: And there goes Chapter Eleven of the Magic Knight, Lance was asked by the others to assist them in the Destruction of Excalibur. Well, nothing different happened except for the Exorcist Duo watching a Horror Movie, which didn't turn out alright. The other then met up and had their short battle with Freed, who later escaped with Balba and Lance had his confrontation with Kokabiel. Well, next chapter will be the battle between the Fallen Angels and the Students of Kuoh Academy. So, later.
