Well, before starting the chapter let's answer some review.
VoidLing: Don't worry Yumi will appear in the later chapters, and I'm glad that you liked the chapter.
Hellspam: I'm glad that you liked the fight, and what she told Xenovia will be revealed…later.
P4U10: Thanks, yes Elaine is a badass and I'm glad that you liked the chapter.
Houki Minami: It's not like I made both of them absolutely powerful, Elaine is powerful on her own, but like everyone she as her limits. And Lance still has his own limitations and challenges. And I wrote in the past chapter that Lance always cooked for the children who were in the orphanage. I'm glad that you like my writing and about Kokabiel. I'm pretty sure that no of will care that he's dead since he basically tried starting a war, which could've led to the destruction of the Three Factions. And Van is an OC Knight for Rias' character, so he doesn't exist in the canon.
Guest: Yes, his bastard grandfather will make his appearance soon in the later chapter. The reason for her not making her appearance will be revealed later. And no Lance can't 'fall' since he's half-Angel, and I don't know since learning Aura took them their entire life to learn.
Guest 2: I don't know, but I'll think about it.
Guest 3: I'm happy that you liked the chapter and that you like Christian's character, and well there's no word that I can think of that even begin to describe how pissed off he'd be. And yea, she'll be learning about magical calculations from Chris for most of the time.
Lover of History: I actually like that idea of having a descendant of Liu Bei, thanks for the suggestion.
And now that those reviews are done, let's get to the chapter.
The Exorcist's new Life
Lance's Memory
There was a six-year-old Lance walking through a park, with a slightly annoyed expression on his face and he stopped suddenly.
"I swear if this so-called ′Special Mission′ is something idiotic like then others, then I'm going to…."
"You know it's not nice to threaten your father, my Angelic-Child."
After hearing a female's voice, Lance then turned around and made a slightly shocked expression on his face. Standing in front of him was an insanely beautiful woman in her twenties, with curly blonde hair, kind green eyes and wearing holy robes fit for royalty. Lance then smiled brightly and immediately ran towards her and wrapped his arms around her.
"Okaa-San!"
"Aw, I'm so glad to see my adorable little Angelic-Child."
Lance then started making an embarrassed expression on his face as Gabriel started to rub her cheek against his with a childlike smile on her face.
"Geez, Kaa-San stop calling me your Angelic-Child…it's really embarrassing."
"Awww, but no matter how much you grow up you'll always be my little Angelic-Child."
Gabriel then giggled slightly and kissed Lance on top of his forehead, causing him to look away with an embarrassed expression on his face. He then looked forward towards her and smiled brightly, he then declared.
"When I grow up, I want to be able to protect Kaa-San with my power!"
Gabriel was slightly taken back by Lance's sudden declaration, but she then smiled and hugged in with the most beautiful smile on her face.
"Never stop being your kind self."
Several Days Later
As that memory was ending, Lance was seen lying down on the roof of Kuoh Academy, with the sun starting to beam down on his face. He then started opening his eyes and started yawning loudly, but he stopped as he noticed that his head was lying down on something soft not hard.
"What am I…?"
"Arara, it seems you've woken up Lance-Sama."
Lance was slightly shocked as he heard a familiar female's voice coming from over him, he hesitantly looked up and saw Xenovia looking down at him with a stoic face. Though she wasn't wearing her normal Exorcist's uniform, but the Kuoh Academy's female uniform. Along with the Knight of Chivalry badge, which was meant for the Vice-President on her uniform's collar.
"Uh, Xenovia what're you doing?"
"I'm giving you what's called a Lap Pillow, are you comfortable?"
"Y-Yea."
Lance then sat up, while scratching the back of his head with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face. He then looked and noticed that Xenovia was giving him a slightly wondering expression on her face, instead of her usual stoic one.
"Lance-Sama?"
"Geez, how long will you keep calling me that? But whatever, what's on your mind?"
"I've heard that Pure Angels can't mate with other beings, so how was Gabriel-Sama able to have a child with Galahad-Sama?"
"Normally Angels are able to mate with only other Angels, but they also had to do it inside of a specially made barrier. Though after studying the barrier and the magic of Angels, my uncle created a specially made barrier that allowed them to mate with Humans along with other races without having to worry about falling."
"I see."
Lance then looked towards her and noticed that she was still reeling over the fact that not only did she find out about the nonexistence of God, but was then excommunicated afterwords. Lance then smirked slightly and placed his hand on her shoulder, with a reassuring smile on his face.
"Hey, don't look of down. We're still going out on the next break, to but you some new clothes. We can even get something to eat."
"Like a date?"
After Xenovia had asked that with a red slightly dusting her cheeks, he then started making a more embarrassed expression on his face.
"Y-Yea, I guess you can think of it like that. Well, why don't we go meet up with everyone else."
Xenovia then nodded in agreement and started walking down from the roof and towards the Old School Building where the Occult Research Club was located.
Occult Research Club
Inside of the Occult Research Club everyone had gather there, Lance then walked into the room and most of them turned towards him while making a slightly shocked expression on his face. Xenovia then walked into the door and waved slightly.
"Hey, Red Dragon Emperor."
"Wh…Why, are you here?!"
"She transferred here, and she's currently apart of the Knights of Chivalry…she took your place as Vice-President."
Issei then made a shocked expression on his face as Xenovia started to explain her current situation to the rest of them.
"After finding out about the death of God, I was then excommunicated from the Church and so I decided to join the side of God's grandson. And I was also placed in this school. From now on, I'm a 2nd year student and also a member of the Knights of Chivalry. Lets get along, Ise-Kun."
Issei was slightly disturbed by Xenovia trying to make a cute voice just like Irina, he then responded with a shocked tone.
"…Don't make such a cute sound with a serious expression."
"I copied Irina, but it looks like it's not easy."
"By the way, where's Irina?"
"Irina returned to headquarters along with the corpse of Balba and the five Excaliburs including mine. The fragments that acted as the cores were retrieved in that state. So the mission of retrieving them was accomplished. If they have the cores, they can use alchemy to make the Holy Swords again."
"Was it alright to give them your Excalibur?"
"I have to give them the Excalibur back just in case. Unlike the Durandal, there are other wielders that could be chosen. Having Durandal is enough for me. When I mentioned the absence of God to them, they became silent. So I became an outsider for knowing the absence of God. The Church hates outsiders and heresy very much. Even if that person is the wielder of Durandal, they will cut them off. Exactly the same way as the incident with Asia Argento."
Xenovia then laughed hollowly to herself, while looking downwards towards the ground.
"Irina was lucky. Even if she wasn't in the battle because of the wounds, she ended up not knowing the truth. She has a stronger belief than me. If she found out about God, I don't know what would have happened to her."
Xenovia then continued after thinking about her final farewell with Irina.
"Except, she was really disappointed that I suddenly quit being an Exorcist. I couldn't tell her that it was because of the absence of God. It was an awkward farewell that we had. Maybe we might be enemies the next time we meet."
After Xenovia was finished, Rias then looked around towards everyone and stated.
"The Church made contact with us Devils. More precisely, the Maou talk about this incident. They said, "We would like to make contact with you because of unclear and dishonest actions of the Fallen Angels even though we feel unsatisfactory about this". They also apologized about Balba because it was their mistake for letting him escape in the past."
Rias then stopped as she was about to reveal another piece of information before saying.
"There would also be a meeting between the representatives of the Angels, Devils and Azazel. Apparently, there is something Azazel wants to talk about. I heard that maybe Azazel would be apologizing about Kokabiel then. Though it's suspicious if Azazel would apologies. We were also invited to that meeting. We have to report the incident at the meeting because we were involved."
"Are you serious?"
"…I also found out that "The Vanishing Dragon, the White Dragon Emperor" is also apart of the Fallen Side."
Issei then made a slightly shocked expression on his face by what Rias has just said, until Lance started elaborating further.
"Remember those three of Azazel's favorites, well he's one of them. And if I remember correctly, he's the 4th strongest in all of Grigori and if he fought against Kokabiel then it wouldn't have taken him five seconds to take him down. And he still wouldn't even be fighting at full strength."
Issei was completely shocked expression by what Lance had said, he then looked and noticed Xenovia approaching Asia, while bowing her head.
"…That's right. I will apologize to Asia Argento. Since God didn't exist, then his love and help didn't as well. I'm sorry, Asia Argento. Hit me much as much as you want."
"…No, I don't intend to do something like that. Xenovia-San, I'm enjoying my current lifestyle. Even though I'm a Devil now, I met someone…people who are important to me. I am happy because of the place I live in now and the people I have met."
Asia then smiled with an innocent expression on her face, with Xenovia responding.
"…So only you and I are the only Christians that found out about the absence of God. I won't be able to say something like a divine punishment to you now. So a heretic huh? I was a Holy Sword user who was admired, but now a heretic huh. I can't forget about how their eyes and attitudes changed when they saw me."
Xenovia then turned around away from everyone and started leaving the room.
"Then I will be leaving. There's a lot of things I need to know about before transferring to this school."
"U…Umm!"
Xenovia then stopped as she had heard Asia starting to call her, with a smile on her face Asia then asked.
"On the next weekend, I'm going to go out to play with everyone. Would you also like to join, Xenovia-San?"
"Next time then. This time I'm not interested. Except….."
"Except?"
"Can you take me around the school next time?"
"Yes!"
Xenovia then smiled along with Asia, she then looked towards both Kiba and Van who were looking towards her.
"I also would like to have a battle with the Holy Demonic sword and Demon Sword user over there as well."
"Alright. I won't lose next time."
"Sure thing, I'm always up for a fight."
Rias then clapped her hands gaining the attention of everyone who're in the Occult Research Club, she then said with a smile.
"Now. Since everyone has returned again, let's start the club activity again!"
[YES!]
Knight of Chivalry Club
After their conversation with the Occult Research Club members were finished, Xenovia was now walking inside of the Knights of Chivalry Club with Lance following her. She then looked around the room and was slightly impressed by the renovations that the room had undergone.
"Is this what other classrooms look like?"
"Nah, I had this room renovated to make it more comfortable for the members, you'd be surprised by what this room used to look like. Also, there's no need to worry about eavesdroppers, this room is basically soundproof from the outside and no one except the members are allowed in without permission."
"So, what am I supposed to do?"
"You're going to be helping me sort the requests and fulfill them."
Lance then walk into the room carrying the KOC Request Box, which was filled with several requests from different students. Xenovia started looking at all of the requests with a slightly confused expression on her face and asked.
"You really answer them all?"
"Yea, I made this club not only to get out of class whenever I needed to and I also made it to make the student's lives better. So, first we'll sort all of them out and then we'll complete them at the appropriate time."
Xenovia then only nodded in agreement to what he had said, Lance then took out all of the request and placed them on the table. After taking a seat in front of Xenovia, he then took half of the requests and handed them to her.
Few Minutes later
After reading the requests for a couple of minutes, Xenovia only sighed after reading the ones that were given to her. She then looked towards with a deadpanned expression on her face, before starting.
"Most of these requests are from female students asking you to be their boyfriend, and the others are death threats from the male students."
"Hahaha, yeah I get those a lot…even those I ask those girls to stop. And, I'm not exactly afraid of the death threats, come seriously what're they going to do glare at me to death?"
"Why do you do this?"
Lance was slightly confused by what Xenovia had asked, but he smiled and responded.
"The same reason why we became Knights and Exorcists, I just wanted to help people. I'll try and break the news to the girls gently. So, did you find the normal ones?"
Xenovia nodded and picked one of the requests, which read:
To: The Knights of Chivalry
From: Freshmen of the Female Kendo Club, Hikaru
Description: Uh, Lancelot-Senpai, I'm a new member of the female Kendo Club. And…I wanted to know if you could possibly give me some pointers in sword technique, it's just I thought since you're related to the Knight from the legend that you'd be good at it.
"She says she's having a hard time trying to increase her technique, so she thought since you were from the Du Lac family that you'd be able to help her."
"Alright, then let's go."
Kendo Club
Standing alone inside of the Kendo Club was Hikaru, a dark-haired first-year female dressed in the Kendo uniform. She was standing in that one spot practicing by swinging a wooden sword in her hand repeatedly.
"Hah! Hah! Hah!"
Hikaru was constantly swinging her wooden practice sword downwards repeatedly with a determined expression on her face. But she stopped as she heard the door to the Kendo Club opening, she turned her head and saw both Lance and Xenovia walking inside.
"Ah, Lancelot-Senpai!"
"Just call me Lance, also this is Xenovia Quarta and she'll soon be your Senpai."
Xenovia bowed her head slightly towards her, with Hikaru making a slightly embarrassed expression on her face and bowed her head.
"Oh, then hello Xenovia-Senpai!"
"Alright, now let's see what you've got."
Hikaru then nodded in agreement, she stepped back onto the mat and started swinging her practice sword around with precision and great concentration. Both Lance and Xenovia, the two highly trained swordsman and swordswoman started viewing her techniques along with how she held her sword. Once she stopped, then turned towards both of them.
"Well, h-how did I?"
"You see…."
"If you wouldn't mind."
Xenovia then talked over Lance, as she started walking over towards Hikaru who started making a slightly nervous expression on her face. Xenovia then leaned down to Hikaru's level and placed her hand on her shoulders.
"Uh, X-Xenovia-Senpai."
"First thing you should do is fix your posture because you're too dense."
"Okay!"
Hikaru immediately answered energetically, she then turned around and stood in a ready position, while she started loosening up her stance slightly. She then jumped up slightly as she felt Xenovia beginning to fix her stance and how she wield her sword.
"Then you need to fix your the way you hold your sword, and position your arms like this."
Xenovia then further began instructing Hikaru how she should stand, how to position her hand, how to wield her sword and how to motion her legs. Once she was finished, Xenovia nodded her head and she smiled slightly.
"Alright, now try it."
"O-Okay! Hah!"
Hikaru then started practicing with her sword by swinging her sword and swiping it, she then immediately noticed the immense difference between how she was normally wielding her sword. She was was finished, unable to contain her happiness and immediately wrapped her arms around Xenovia, causing her to make an embarrassed expression.
"Hehehe! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Xenovia-Onee-San!"
"O-Onee-San?"
"Can you come by here again sometimes?!"
Lance then looked towards what happened with a slight smile on his face, while Xenovia was looking down towards Hikaru with a slightly embarrassed expression on her face.
"S-Sure."
Hikaru then smiled brightly as she unwrapped her arms around Xenovia, and she continued practicing with her new polished sword techniques. As Xenovia was watching Hikaru practice, a sudden memory started playing in her head:
Seven Years ago
A ten-year-old Xenovia was practicing with her practice sword with sweat beginning to drip off of her face, as she continued looking forward. As she continued practicing, a nineteen-year-old Griselda suddenly appeared behind her.
"You wielding it the wrong way."
After finally realizing that she was there, Xenovia immediately stiffened slightly and turned around towards her.
"G-Griselda."
"If you swing like that you'll end up losing lots of stamina."
"Huh?"
Griselda then placed her hands on Xenovia's shoulder, she then started fixing Xenovia's stance. After she was finished, Xenovia began to practice with her sword
Griselda then started fixing Xenovia's stance and how she wielded her sword, and Xenovia begun swing her sword after Griselda nodded. Xenovia then continued practicing, she then noticed the huge difference in how she was originally practicing and she smiled.
"Thanks, Griselda."
"Well, you are like my little sister and everything I do is for your own good."
After the memory had ended, Xenovia then smiled as she continued looking towards Hikaru, who was still practicing with her sword.
"I can see why you do this."
"Yea, just watching the smile on their faces is reward enough."
"You're right."
Xenovia agreed to what Lance had said with a smile on her face, she then looked towards him as a question popped into her mind.
"So what does the Du Lac Family do in detail?"
Well, since the time of King Arthur our family has been training to protecting the Humans from the evil that exists in this world and we became well known for our military strength. And as Knights we go into both battles for other Factions, we're also paid for it. My family actually made a fortune from the battles that they fought. As the next head of the family, I'll be in charge of leading an entire family of Knights."
"I see."
"Wait, being an Exorcist you should already know half of this. So, why would you want to know more about my family?"
After Lance had asked that question, Xenovia's cheeks started dusting red out of embarrassment and she started shaking her head.
"No reason, I was just curious."
Lance then started looking towards Xenovia with a curious expression on his face, wanting to change the subject Xenovia then asked.
"Wh-What about the Ambrosius family?"
"I know you're just trying to change the subject, but alright. The descendants of Merlin, the Head of the Ambrosius Family became charged with advising the Head of the Pendragon Family along with other Magician's Factions. Also due to the fact that there are several High-Class Devils from the remaining 36 Pillars wanting to make pacts with Merlin's descendants, the family gained a substantial fortune. They're also one of the main benefactors for the Vatican, the Chivalric Order and some orphanage. Man, Asia-Chan will sure has her work cut out for her."
"What do you mean?"
"Despite being reincarnated into a Devil, it's still in her right to become the next head of the family."
They then turned around and Hikaru was coming towards them, with an appreciative look on her face and she bowed her heard.
"Thanks, Lance-Senpai! And Xenovia-Onee-San!"
"You're welcome, Hikaru-Chan."
"You're welcome."
Hikaru waved towards both of them as they started walking outside of the Kendo Club, Lance then looked towards her with a slight smirk on his face.
"Well, it seems you're already starting to enjoy your time at our school."
"Well, it's better than I expected."
"Heh, that's good to hear…well, tomorrow on the break we're going to go and get you some new clothing."
"Alright."
Tomorrow Morning
On the next break, Lance was lying down in his bed with the sunlight starting to beam down his face, he then started sitting up while yawning loudly. Lance then started stretching his arms, and then he started rubbing his eyes.
"Man, that was a good nap. I guess I'll wake up Xeno…."
Before Lance could finish, he was immediately grappled back onto his bed with a shocked expression on his face. And Lance was immediately caught in the grasps of Xenovia, now dressed in nothing but her bra and panties.
"When the hell did she get in my room?!"
Lance listened as Xenovia started to breathe slightly in her sleep, but he noticed that her grip on him started increasing. As Lance was trying to get back up, but he felt Xenovia wrapping her legs around his hand completely kept him from getting out of his bed. He then started making a slightly pained expression on his face as Xenovia kept him in a grappling position.
"Is she seriously doing this in her sleep?! Or is this on purpose?!"
As Lance started shouting that, Xenovia stirred awake with a very tired expression on her face and she later completely woke up. Xenovia then sat up in the bed and looked towards Lance with a slightly confused expression on her face, while Lance sighed out of relief. She then looked towards him, while rubbing her eyes
"Why're you shouting?"
"A-Are you kidding me?! Why're you even in my room?!"
"I wanted to be closer to you."
Lance then looked towards her with a confused expression on his face, but he shook it off and got out of his bed.
"Alright, let's start getting dressed."
Alright."
Xenovia then nodded in agreement and started walking outside of Lance's room, with him blushing slightly and sighing slightly.
BEEP BEEP
Lance then later started hearing his cellphone beginning to go off, he looked towards his dresser and picked it up. He then opened it and started reading the message that was sent to him:
To: Lance
From: Yumi
Message: Good news, Lance-Kun! After your confirmation with the Cadre Fallen Angel, you've been recommended for a position as an Arch-Knight. And Jeanne-Chan has already been promoted just a couple of days ago. Also, I have another surprise for you, but you'll have to wait~
"I'm getting a promotion? And what's this other surprise?"
Lance made a slightly confused expression on his face, but he then shrugged his shoulders and jumped out of his bed. After getting dressed, Lance walked outside of his house wearing a dark green jacket, a black undershirt, black pants. And Xenovia just wearing her normal school uniform, after locking the door Lance turned towards her.
"Alright, let's go."
For several minutes, both of them were walking around Kuoh Town viewing the sights and visiting some stores to buy clothing. They later stopped an ice cream place to eat dessert, with them sitting down with two strawberry sundaes in front of them.
"Hmm, during the incident with Kokabiel I never actually stopped and just paid attention to the sights. It's really peaceful."
"Yea, it's always been like this even when I was a kid growing up here…though there's the occasional Demon attack."
Lance then smirked, while placing a spoon full of ice cream in his mouth along with Xenovia who had a slight smile on her face.
"So did you ever tell Irina about you being a Half-Angel?"
"Nope, do you have any idea what she would've done?"
"She probably would've said, "Aah! Lance-Kun's, Gabriel-Sama's child…ah, where are my manners I meant Lance-Sama". Or something like that."
"You must really miss being around her."
"Yes, within the Vatican she was the closest thing to a friend I ever had…even with her Self-Proclaiming habit."
After mentioning that, both of them started laughing loudly with an amused expression on both of their faces as people started looking towards them with a confused look on their face.
"Hahaha, she always hated that I always called her the Self-Proclaiming Raised in Japan."
"Mines, the Self-Proclaiming Childhood Friend. Hahaha, I'm sorry…we should probably stop."
"You're right, she can always tell when I'm making fun of her. This is actually the first time that I've laughed this much, so thank you Lance-Sama."
"It's no problem, I'm glad that you enjoyed today."
Lance then sent Xenovia a smile, which caused her to blush slightly and both of them then continued eating their sundaes. And both of them continued the rest of their morning with each other.
Lance's House
At Lance's house, he was standing in the kitchen making a large bowel of popcorn and getting a soda while Xenovia was inside of the living room on the couch preparing a movie.
KNOCK KNOCK
Both of them later heard a knock on the door, Lance then walked towards the door and opened. Standing outside was everyone in the Occult Research Club, with all of them walking inside.
"Hey, Lance you said you guys were having a movie night."
"Since we don't have anything else to do, I thought that we should do something for the rest of the day. Though, I'm not sure that you guy would like the choice."
"There's no way, I'm allowing a simple horror movie overcome me."
After walking inside, Van picked up the movie that she had shows and it was the entire series of 'Friday the 13th. He then made a slightly confused expression on his face, along with everyone else.
"You know, I've heard this movie, but I don't think I've ever actually seen it."
"Me neither, so sure let's watch it."
"Arara, I second that."
"I'm also curious about this movie."
"…Same."
"Alright."
Everyone then took a seat on the couches in the living room, with both the popcorn and sodas on the table in front of them. Once Lance took a seat down next to Xenovia, he later blushed as he felt her hugging his arm, but he shook it off. He then picked up the DVD player and pressed play and started the first of the series.
As the movie continued progressing through the very first movie and as each scene progressed they started unconsciously eating the popcorn with their hands shaking. After the first three movies they were scared and after the sixth movies, the braves teens were all scared for their lives.
[….]
Once was the movie was finally finished, everyone was all speechless and with a terrified expression on their face. Issei then turned his head and saw Asia hugging her legs while rocking back and forth with an emotionless expression on her face.
"Uh, Asia."
"H-He not here, he's not here, he's not here."
"I-I wouldn't wish that on my worse enemy."
"Wh-Who makes a movie like this?"
"Xenovia why'd you pick this movie?!"
"He won't die, he'll never die."
Xenovia continued hugging Lance's arm with a fearful expression on her face. Despite the fact that her breasts completely enveloped his arm, Lance didn't seem to care in the slightest. Even Koneko who was usually emotionless made a frightful expression on her face.
"…."
She tried saying something, but the words wouldn't come out of her mouth, the teens were all stopped as they heard a slight thud coming from the back causing them to jump slightly.
"Uh, what was that?"
"I'll go check it out."
After recovering himself, Lance stood up with Xenovia finally letting go of his arm and he started walking towards the back of the room. As soon as Lance left the living room there was a slight breathing coming from inside of the room, Xenovia looked around with a slightly frightful expression on his face.
"Wh-What's that?"
She then looked towards everyone and saw the frightful expression on their face, Xenovia then hesitantly turned around and her eyes widened. Standing behind them was a very large male, wearing a hockey mask and wielding a machete (Jason). Their eyes widened, until all of them except for Asia who was crying and Xenovia shouted.
[OH, SHIIIIIIIT!]
"Why the hell is he here?!"
"This isn't really happening!"
"Of course this isn't, Lance if this is some kind of sick joke then..."
"Hey, guys I just came from the back and there was a window opened. Also, is anyone getting a signal on their…phone."
Everyone turned around and saw Lance walking inside of the room, while he was holding his cellphone up as no bars appeared on it. They started looking back and forth towards Lance and the person standing in front of them, before stepping back. Lance then looked towards what was happening and started laughing slightly, while walking towards the person.
"Hah, nice try guys…using demonic power to create a Jason from the movie that we're all obviously afraid of."
"Uh, Lance we didn't…."
"I've got to say this is a good job, he actually looks…real."
Lance stopped as he placed his hand on the person's body and it felt like an actual person's body, his jaw then dropped as he started laughing nervously.
"S-So, if y-you guys didn't create this thing and I didn't then…WHY THE HELL IS HE IN MY HOUSE AND NOT STALKING SOME POOR COUNSELOR?!"
As Lance was shouting towards the person in question but was stopped as he picked up Lance by his throat and started lifting him into the air. He then tightened his grip and started strangling him.
"Ack, g-guys h-help…he's…really strong."
"Unhand Lance-Sama!"
Xenovia then brought Durandal out of its dimensional storage and slashed downwards cutting off Jason's arm and Lance fell to the ground. As he was making an appreciative expression, Lance's eyes widened as he noticed that the man's severed arm continued strangling him.
"Ack, g-get off of me!"
Lance pried the arm off of his throat and threw it towards the ground, the Jason picking it back up and reattaching his arm. Lance looked towards what happened as he started gasping for breath with Xenovia leaning next to him.
"Lance-Sama, are you alright?"
"Y-Yea, but if watching that movie taught me one thing then that he's basically invincible."
"So, what's the plan, Lance?"
"I know exactly what to do, everyone…LET'S COMPLETELY DESTROY HIS BODY, WHILE ME AND XENOVIA SEND HIS SOUL INTO THE DEEPEST PITS OF THE UNDERWORLD!"
[Right!]
Everyone got into a fighting stance, while Rias gathered her Power of Destruction, Akeno summoned her lightning, both Kiba and Van summoned their Demonic Swords, Koneko got into a fighting ready position, Issei summoned his Boosted Gear, and with both Lance and Xenovia preparing their weapons. But, before they could attack, the immediately felt every bit of power vanishing from both their bodies and weapons.
"Uh, guys what just happened? I'm not sensing anything from my Boosted Gear."
"N-Neither from my Demon Sword nor Kiba's Demonic Swords."
Xenovia then leaned towards Lance and asked, with a slightly scared expression on her face.
"Lance-Sama what do we do now?"
"At this point, we're only normal teenagers like the ones in the movie. So, there's only one option."
"Right."
""Everyone Run!""
At what both Lance and Xenovia said that in completely synch, everyone started running away upstairs with a frightful expression on their face. Outside, there was an obscured person standing outside with a magic circle that showed everything that they were going through.
"Hahaha! After all of these years and he still gives me a laugh! Don't worry it's just a realistic dream that they're having, though it's still hilarious…wouldn't you agree Chris."
Chris then suddenly appeared in front of the obscured man with his eyes narrowed, and his fist clenched slightly. The obscured man then turned towards him, with a sadistic smirk and his red eyes gleaming in the night. Chris then made an unusually angered expression on his face, before asking him.
"What the hell are you doing, Xander?"
The moonlight then shined down and revealing to be Xander Ambrosius, who looks like he was still in his twenties. Xander only smirked and looked towards Chris, without the slightest bit of empathy in his eyes.
"Oh, I don't think I've ever seen that look on your face before Chris."
"Don't screw with me Xander, what're you doing here?! Haven't you already ruined his life enough?!"
"Ruined his life? Hey, I only motivated him to get stronger."
Chris' eyes started twitching slightly and he started releasing a potent magical aura that started pushing away the leaves around him.
"Motivated him?! You murdered his father and the rest of the Paladins right in front of him, what good could that possibly do?!"
"Oh, Chris. If you're trying to scare me by releasing your magical power like that, then you're wasting your time. And besides, what grandfather wouldn't want to prepare their grandchild for the harshness of life?"
"What?!"
"Think of it as nothing more of a game that I'm apart of, living in peace as never really been my thing. Also, you might want to calm yourself down and think rationally. Since you more than anyone know that magic doesn't affect me."
Chris didn't want to admit it to himself, but he settled himself down and stopped releasing his magical powers.
"There's no way, you'll get away with this. This game of yours…."
Xander only smirked and started walking away from Chris, while waving towards him and making a sadistic smirk on his face.
"You're not going to stop the game…since it's already started."
Chris' eyes widened slightly, but before he could respond Xander completely vanished from sight and he was left there with an angered expression on his face.
"Damn him, but what did he mean by that?"
The Chivalric Order
Walking through the halls of the main building of the Chivalric Order was Elaine, who had a bright smile on her face and she started humming happily.
"Hmm~ Hmm~, my adorable little grandson is got a promotion along with Jeanne-Chan. Hmm, I can't wait to go to Kuoh Town so I can dote on both of my…."
Elaine suddenly stopped as she started hearing something coming from where the Head Paladin and the other Paladins were. She then started sensing some killing intent coming from that direction, and she started running towards the direction. As she was running in the direction, she looked and saw bloodstains on the ground.
"Dammit, why didn't I sense this before?!"
As she was running in front of the door, she looked and noticed that the door was wide opened. Elaine started walking inside of the room, but stopped as she heard a weak voice.
"E…Elaine…."
She looked down towards the wall and saw Gawain leaning against the wall with blood coming from a wound on his body, and she immediately ran towards him.
"Gawain what happened?!"
"Wh-Whoever he was, he just broke into the room…I guess we're not as strongest as we used to be."
Gawain then started laughing to himself with a slightly saddened expression on his face, with Elaine trying to tend to his injuries. But he held his hand up and shook his head, he then smiled and started reminiscing both Galahad and the rest of the Paladins when they were kids.
"It's alright, I've already lived long enough. I can still remember watching Galahad and the others training to become Knights, just watching them I felt that they could lead the Chivalric Order into a new era…they were true Knights, true Heroes. I thought that there wouldn't be anyone like them, but then I saw that same light within those three…in Lancelot, Yumi and Jeanne."
Gawain then started spitting out blood from his mouth, while coughing hard and he smirked and stated.
"I'm sorry, I know this is might be selfish, but I leave everything to…."
"No, it's not selfish. I promise, to keep everyone safe."
"…thank you."
Gawain smiled and closed his eyes, Elaine's hair then overshadowed her eyes as tears started rolling down her face. She then stood up and started walking towards the opened door, once she made it inside of the room and saw several dead bodies of the Paladin lying on the ground.
Standing in the middle of the room, was a mysterious cloaked figure with a bloodied sword in his hand. The teen then looked towards her with his face covered by the hood, Elaine looked towards the cloaked teen with her teeth gritted and her fist clenched.
"I don't know who you are? But, if anyone does something like this to good people then they…."
Elaine's hair then started flowing, with her hair beginning to turn bright crimson and her eyes started turning dark red. And the aura surrounded her body started turning red, the mysterious figures flinched slightly and threw their sword towards them.
They looked forward and noticed that Elaine had already vanished, she suddenly appeared in front of them with her fist pulled back. She launched her fist forward punching the mysterious person in their stomach with tremendous force, the attack sent them crashing into the wall and coughing up blood.
"...deserves a brutal death."
"Gah!"
As that person was falling forward, Elaine then drove her fist into the person's stomach greatly cracking the wall behind them on impact.
"When in War God form, I can fight against an Ultimate-Class Devil easily…now let's see who you are."
Elaine ripped off other mysterious person's hood, her eyes then widened out of complete shock and she placed her hand over her mouth.
"Th-There's no…."
The person then snatched away their cloak from her hand and immediately escaped the location, running into the room were two other Knights. After seeing what happened to the other Paladins and Head Paladins, they made a shocked expression on their face.
"Elaine-San what happened here?"
"Elaine-San?!"
Despite having them call out her name, Elaine was still in a state of shock and she started clenching her first so tightly that blood started dripping towards the ground. The Knights shook slightly as they started sensing killing intent basically surrounded Elaine's body.
"Xander, damn you."
