Welcome to the next chapter of The Magic Knight, before starting the story. Lets answer some reviews:
Guest: Yea, I had heard about the Lady of the Lake being mentioned as a fairy in some legends, but I'm taking a different direction. And I'm glad that you liked the chapter.
Hellspam: I'm glad that you liked her introduction of the Lady of the Lake and about Lance creating his Sacred Gear. Thanks for the suggestion of a team up between those four.
Desdelor97: Thanks. And I will.
King0fP0wers: Thanks. I'm glad that you liked their separate training. To answer your question Touki is a stronger version of Aura, so they won't be able to use them at the same time. You're right he might not like the fact that Lance had created a Sacred Gear, hmm…I really don't see those two working with each other. Yep, the hype with a fight between the Hero Knight and the Hero King is something to look forward to.
Gabriel790: Thanks.
Guest 2: Yea, that will be an interesting thing.
DdraigTrueEmperor9: I'm glad that you liked the chapter. You'd expect training with someone who go by the nickname Crimson War Goddess would be intense. This thing it, Ki is essential an ability than anybody can gain through physical or mental training and use it to increase their physical capabilities without it needing to be visible. Aura is essentially concentrating their ki or life-force so not only is it visible, but also increases their physical abilities further. While Touki is a more enhanced variation of Aura that increases their physical capabilities tremendously. Actually, the first people to use Senjutsu were Human Sages who mostly lived on mountains, while Youkai and others are capable of training to unlock it. He had just wanted to test it out in combat as a study and to give out to other Magicians to be able to use. You actually don't have to be powerful to be the Alpha of a Harem. Especially when you are as smart as Sona who has proven that she can overpower the most powerful members of the Gremory Group with her strategies and then lead said the group with great leadership. The thing about the Lady of the Lake, I had thought that it was a good idea for her to still be on the island. You're probably right, he won't be happy about him making a Sacred Gear. And I already have an idea for Avalon Drakon's Balance Breaker.
Guest 3: Yes, Gilgamesh will soon be appearing in the later chapters up ahead, but that won't be for a while longer. I have been thinking about making his main attraction towards Jeanne due to her having the spirit o Joan of Arc. And you are right, that is practically his entire personality.
Guest 4: I already came up with something to do with that.
Guest 5: I don't think that it's a good idea for Lance to have two Yandere after him, just having one is dangerous enough. Having two of them is just asking for trouble.
Kagura Yuki: I'm glad that you like the story. Along with the idea of Xenovia being Lance's fiance and Yuuma's character would be interesting if she were cannon. You are right, both Kiba and Van would make a perfect duo. Yep, messing with the daughter of the current Head of the Ambrosius Family will be a mistake that you won't live to regret. I don't think that the descendants of Liu Bei and Cao Cao would be able to see eye to eye, especially with what Cao Cao is up to.
Guest 6: That sounds like an interesting idea. Having Xander force his way into Avalon using his magic and attacking with the Khaos Brigade. The Gremory and Vali Team arriving on Avalon would be a very interesting thing to write. It would also be an opportunity team up for the descendants of King Arthur, Morgana Le Fay, Sir Lancelot and Merlin. And I guess that Vali would be interested in the Lady of the Lake.
Naruto: That is correct. I will not reveal anything on the matter, just know that I already have an idea of what to do. I already know what I'm going to do with the Gate of Babylon ability wise and Balance Breaker wise along with the different attributes of weapons. That would be something similar to the dimensional storage used to store powerful weapons like Durandal. Gilgamesh's character in the Magic Knight as already been planned out as much as his ability and personality. And I was thinking about making a fanon page for him eventually.
Guest 7: Their relationship will be interesting, to say the least. He would be the type of person who would only let some people call him Gil, while others would for a sword in the back. You're right both of them are similar in that fact. I already have a backstory in mind for Gilgamesh.
Now that those reviews are done, let's get right to the next chapter.
Missions and Visitors
On another day on the island Avalon, inside of a larger than average bedroom located inside of the mansion that they stayed in. Sleeping in the bed was Lance who was making a peaceful expression on his face as he continued to sleep, but he began to stir awake as the light from the sun shone down on his face. As the light had continued to shine down on his face, his expression had started to tense up slightly.
"Ah, go away sun. I appreciate all you do for us humans or in my case half-human, but…*yawn* I just want to sleep for a couple more minutes."
Lance had complained, while he continued to attempt to fall asleep. However, he was stopped as he suddenly felt someone's foot pressing up against the side of his face. Feeling the bottom of someone's foot moving his head to the side, he had opened up one of his eyes reluctantly and he sat up in his bed. Due to him seemingly being alone in his bedroom for the night, he currently wasn't wearing a shirt and was just wearing shorts. It had clearly shown off how much developed that his chest, abs, and muscles had become due to the training that he went through with Elaine.
It was only a matter of time before their summer break would end on the 25th of August. Yawning for the last time, he had looked forward towards who was currently lying down in his bed in a very odd sleeping position.
"Wh-What is she doing in my bed like that? And why isn't she wearing a bra?"
Lying near the foot of his bed on her back was revealed to be Xenovia who was wearing nothing but a shirt and panties. However, the first thing that he noticed was that her shirt was pulled up above her large breasts exposing them along with her stomach. Lance had looked down at her with a slightly unexpressive look on his face at the position that she was in.
"…Guu…Guu…."
"*Yawn* How do they keep getting into my room? Even though I constantly lock my door."
Lance had wondered out loud, while yawning slightly. Suddenly he found himself failing not to stare at her large breasts. While he was attempting not to stare at her breasts, his teenage hormones were screaming at him to 'Do it!', while his chivalrous side was screaming 'Avert your eyes!' Soon he shook it off with a sigh escaping his mouth.
"I don't know if I should be glad that I'm actually used to them being this by now. Alright, come on. It's time to wake up."
Holding his hand out towards the side of her face and he begun to pat Xenovia on her cheek in an attempt to wake her up, but he only continued to sleep soundly. Lance continued to do this for almost two minutes, but he kept failing.
"Ah, come on. And here I thought I was hard to wake up. I should probably ask her about her sleeping post…."
As he continued to pat Xenovia on the side of her face one last time, but he noticed that his hand was grabbed by her and shocked him.
"D-Did she just wake up?" Lance had wondered to himself with a slightly confused look on his face, but he had looked forward and noticed that her eyes were still closed. In fact, he realized that she was still fast asleep."…No way her eyes are still close."
Wondering that to himself, Lance was making a slightly confused look on his face. Looking down he realized that she was in fact still fast asleep, but he noticed that she was beginning to move his head.
"Eh, what is she…?"
Confused by her suddenly moving his hand, while she was still asleep and was stopped as she had suddenly pressed his hand onto her breasts.
"Wh-What the hell?! What is she doing?!"
"Hmm, don't be so rough Lance-Sama~ Don't worry, you can touch them all you like~"
Xenovia had said out loud in a cute voice with a slightly lewd look on her sleeping face, something that had caused Lance's mind to melt slightly. Continuing to feel her breasts, his rationality had soon started to slip away. Before he knew it he had groped her breasts and he felt a great softness from them as his five fingers were enveloped in them. Feeling her breasts being groped in her sleep, Xenovia had started to let out a sweet voice.
"…Nn…."
As he groped her breast for the last time, he could feel her erect nipples poking his hand.
"I-I shouldn't be doing this when she isn't conscious. What am I talking about?! Seriously Xenovia, you need to…!"
OPEN!
Suddenly the door to his room was opened revealing both a fully dressed Yumi and Jeanne. Jeanne who was making a cheerful look on her face had danced into Lance's bedroom, while humming a song to herself.
"Lance-Kun, time to wake up~"
"Could you cook us breakfast for…? WH-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
Yumi had looked forward and soon Jeanne had made an angry look on her face as both of them had saw Lance over Xenovia seemingly almost naked still groping her breasts. His expression started to become tense as he could feel their glares without even looking up. From Lance's perspective, this was a huge misunderstanding, however he knew that they wouldn't believe that, but he had to try.
"Okay before you two freak out. I know that this may seem like an overused excuse that everyone has heard before and you probably won't believe me. …but this isn't what it looks like."
He made an attempt convince both them that what they were looking at wasn't what it looked like, but they had stared at him with an unconvinced look on their face.
"Really? So you're not on top of Xenovia half naked and groping her?!"
"Okay. So it might be what it looks like."
Lance had said with a nervous smirk on his face, at that very moment, Xenovia had started to stir awake.
"Ugh, why is everyone shouting this early?"
Waking up to the sounds of their shouting, Xenovia had soon woke up with a long yawn escaping from her mouth and rubbed her eyes with a slightly tired look on her face. However, she had realized that Lance had his hand was still placed on her breasts and she started to blush slightly.
"Ara ara, I didn't expect Lance-Sama to be this forward."
Xenovia had said with a lewd smile on her face, something that caused both Yumi's and Jeanne's faces to twist into anger releasing a very dangerous presence from their bodies. Noticing the expression on their face, he immediately removed his hand much to Xenovia's dismay causing her to pout slightly. Getting out of his bed, he held his hand up in a defensive position as the two blondes continued to look at him with an angry look on their face.
"Oh, come on. Yumi-Chan, Jeanne-Chan. Please don't be mad."
"Fine then, under one condition."
Hearing that from Yumi, Lance had looked at her with a slightly unconvinced look on his face as he noticed the mischievous look on her face.
"What condition?"
"We want a 'Special Apology Breakfast'!"
"Wh-What?!"
Wearing a slightly mortified look on his face at what they had just suggested from him, something that the blue haired swordsman had found confusion. Lance knew full well what that had meant for him and he began to become a bit unnerved.
"What is a Special Apology Breakfast?"
Xenovia had asked with one of her eyebrows rose up. Hearing that question from her, Jeanne had let out a very cute giggle escape from her lips.
"Something that Lance-Kun here promised to do whenever he upsets one of us. In certain situations like this, he'd make a special breakfast for us."
"Then why does he look almost mortified?"
"Because there's a small addition to the breakfast service."
Jeanne had answered with a childish look on her face, while she also released a mischievous laugh. Hearing that laugh, Lance had begun to grimace slightly.
"Why did I ever agree to do that in the first place?"
Later on,e inside of the living room, the three woman had walked inside of the living room after that incident had happened. Currently, Avon was lying down on the couch with a slightly tired look on his face and he had let out a yawn from his mouth, but due to his younger body, it sounded similar to a young dragon. Hearing that from him, Jeanne had let out a slight squeal and wrapped her arms around Avon. She then began to rub her cheek against his, while releasing her normal cheerful atmosphere that illuminated the room.
"Iyaaah! That was sooo adorable Avon-Chan!"
While being cuddled by Jeanne almost like a stuffed animal, Avon had started to become slightly more and more depressed about the current state that he was in.
[D-Don't just do that out of nowhere! I am the Mighty Guardian of Avalon, the Evil Banishing Dragon, my name itself was feared by those beings who dared to invade Avalon. I-I am still the Avalon Dragon!]
"You're a cutesy wootsy little dragon."
Jeanne had ignored Avon's declaration with a childish look still on her face, something that caused him to become more depressed. Seeing the expression that was on the dragon, Yumi had looked towards him and she begun to worried about him
"Are you alright, Avon-San?"
[…No! I was originally a mighty dragon who could annihilate all evil and in front of him with just a might breath of light. I even fought against Tannin at his best, but I still can't remember anything after that. Like all dragons I had a goal in life, become a Dragon King and then gain the same level of strength as a Heavenly Dragon. Now, I have been reduced to nothing more than just a girls' stuffed animal.]
Avon had spoken out his true feelings about him being treated as nothing more than a stuffed animal, rather than a mighty dragon. Hearing his feelings on the matter, Yumi had given him a sympathetic look.
"Oh, don't be so depressed. I promise that you're going to enjoy your current life with us and Lance-Kun, but I cannot guarantee that Jeanne-Chan won't coddle you like that. But I can guarantee that your life with us won't be dull at all, also you will enjoy Lance-Kun's cooking. So please don't be so depressed."
Yumi had consoled him with a very kind smile on her face. Avon had thought about what she had said about the many bonuses of being able to live with them. However, it was mostly stopped as Jeanne had continued to cuddle him, while also rubbing her cheeks against his. Seeing this, Xenovia had sighed slightly due to Jeanne completely ignoring both Avon's plea and Yumi's words of encouragement.
a smile on her face, explaining the many bonuses of being with them. A sudden question had then come to Xenovia's head.
"By the way. How long were you sealed in the jewel?"
[I have no idea. The last thing that I remember was fighting against Tannin, then I remember going back into hibernation back on Avalon. …the next thing that I remember was being sealed inside of that jewel. I believe that it was due to me being sealed for too long as affected my memory…or it could possibly…be something else. It could possibly be, but no…it couldn't be….]
Avon had answered Xenovia's question, but soon he started to just talk to himself about something that they couldn't understand. Realizing that, both Yumi and Xenovia had begun to look at the wondering look on his face. Several thoughts of what could be affecting his memory had entered his mind.
OPEN!
Suddenly the door to the large kitchen had opened, as they heard someone walking into the room both Yumi and Jeanne had made a mischievous look on their face. Standing at the opened doorway was now revealed to be Lance with his hair fixed, dressed in butlers clothing and complete with glasses.
"Hello, Ojou-Samas. I hope that you enjoy my service."
Lance had said in a tone that a professional butler would use, but secretly he was dying from embarrassment on the inside. Seeing him dressed in those clothes had caused Xenovia to blush slightly. Even though Xenovia always referred him as -Sama and wanting to serve him, she very much enjoyed seeing him dressed as their butler.
"W-Why is Lance-Sama dressed like that?"
"Well, you see. A couple of years ago, Lance had made a promise that if he had worried us again or did anything that would upset us in any way."
Yumi had answered Xenovia's question.
"Then he would dress up as a butler and serve us. By the way, the glasses were a very nice touch. I bet that So-Chan would love to see that. They're actually doing something for me right now."
Jeanne had stated as she placed both of her hands on the sides of her now reddened cheeks. For some reason, there was something about Lance wearing glasses that made her just blush. After hearing the explanation that Yumi that she had given, he had narrowed his eyes slightly at the two blondes before sighing.
"How many times do I have to say that I'm sorry? I didn't know who I was partnered with and you didn't have to be jealous because of of…."
Lance had begun to mumble out releasing a slight sigh from his mouth. Noticing that he had mumbled out something, Jeanne had turned her attention towards him with a very odd smile on her face. Something that he had grimaced slightly at.
"Hmm, what was that Lance-Kun?"
"Nothing, Jeanne-Ojou-Sama. Now for your breakfast."
The breakfast that Lance had made for them had appeared on the table through a magic circle, which had then begun to shine brightly. After the light had vanished, appearing on the table in front of the three of them was a plate of freshly made still warm stacks of pancakes with sliced fruit on top of them completely with syrup; with turkey bacon, with scrambled eggs and orange juice with no pulp.
Seeing the breakfast that was tenderly made for them by Lance, Jeanne had smiled brightly.
"Thanks, Lance-Kun! I always like your pancakes. Especially when they have my favorite fruit."
Jeanne was talking about the pancakes in front of her that had blueberries on top of them. Even Xenovia had made a pleasant look on her face at the sight of the breakfast.
"This is the first time that I've had a breakfast like this. This looks really delicious, Lance-Sama."
Noticing how Avon was looking at the breakfast with a slightly interested look on his face, Lance had stood in front of him with his normal smile on his face.
"And I would never forget about our Legendary Dragon-Sama." Lance had said as he held his hand out as he prepared to snap his fingers. "Now for a growing dragon."
[Was that part really necessary?]
Avon had said in a slightly annoyed tone, by Lance touching on a sensitive subject. Once he finally snapped his finger two bowls had appeared in front of Avon in a flash of bright light. One of the bowels was full with an assortment of sliced fresh fruit, while the second had meat. Seeing the plate in front of him, Avon's mouth had started to water slightly.
[Y-You made this for me?]
"Of course. Unlike other sacred gears, independent-avatars need to actually eat. So, I just started to look up things that a b…dragon of your stature would eat."
It was just as he said, since Avon had come into existence. Lance had been researching what a dragon of his very stature would eat. Seeing how much effort he had gone into for him, Avon had smiled slightly with a very appreciative look on his face.
[Thank You.]
"It's no problem. Now, Ojou-Samas and Dragon-Sama." Lance had said to them with a smile on his face, before he bowed his head to them. "Why don't you all say grace before eating?"
[Okay.]
They all agreed with him and they began to say their prayers. Soon after they were done, Avon was on the floor next to them eating the food that Lance had made for him. Yumi had then used her utensil to cut a piece of the pancake. After taking that first bite from it, she had made a very bright expression on her face and she grinned. Tasting and taking in the soft and sweet texture of the pancakes, along with the sweetness of the syrup.
"Hmm~ This is sooo good."
Yumi had hummed happily as the pancakes begun to melt in her mouth. Taking a bite of her own, Xenovia had made a surprised expression on her face.
"They're so sweet and so soft. I could really get used to eating this."
"This is the way I love eating Lance-Kun's pancakes."
"Well, if you'd like I could make your favorite next time."
Lance had said as he suddenly sat next to them, wearing his normal clothing once he was finished serving them as their butler. After she heard that Jeanne's childish expression had truly shone on her face with her eyes practically shining after hearing Lance say that.
"You mean the chocolate chip pancakes?!"
"Yes, I mean the chocolate chip ones."
Hearing the response from him, Jeanne had started to squeal happily from anticipation. Once Yumi had drunk some of the orange juice, she put down the cup and looked towards everyone.
"Well, after getting done with breakfast. Why don't we move onto the most important part of summers training?"
"And that would be?"
Yumi had smiled happily after hearing Lance ask that back.
A couple of minutes after they were finished eating breakfast. At the beach, there were pairs of familiar feet walking onto the sandy beach. Soon it was revealed to be Yumi, Jeanne, and Xenovia who were all wearing swimsuits that showed off their curves and body.
It was pretty obvious what the final part of their summer activities was….
"The final part of summer training. Is enjoying summer!"
Yumi had declared with a smile on her face.
"Race you to the water Xeno-Chan!"
"Bring it on!"
Both Jeanne and Xenovia began to charge towards the waters of the ocean. Both Lance and Yumi had looked at both of them with a slightly nervous smile on both of their faces, while releasing a slight laugh. Since the start of the summer, both Jeanne and Xenovia had soon developed a small rivalry with each other.
"Well, those two certainly are getting along well."
"It's probably because Jeanne-Chan reminds Xenovia of Iri-Chan." Lance had stated as he saw both of them running towards the water. "Those two carry the same personality."
"You mean your first girlfriend?"
Yumi had teased with a smirk forming on her face, something that caused Lance to blush slightly. Noticing the look that was on his face, Yumi had nudged him in his shoulder with a genuine smile on her face.
"Don't worry, I'm just teasing." Yumi had said with a smile on her face, with an idea suddenly entering her head. "By the way, can you do me a favor?"
"What is it?"
Lance had asked with a wondering look on his face.
After a while, Yumi laid down on her stomach on top of a towel that she had laid down on the sandy ground. Moreover, she had the top of her swimsuit taken off revealing her entire back, and Lance had taken notice of her smooth not took white skin. Soon Lance had took a seat next to her with a bottle of sunscreen in his hand.
"Are you sure that I have to do this?"
"Well, we can't all be like Devils who're immune to getting sunburned." Yumi had pointed out, before a slight teasing expression forming on her face. "Or are you just embarrassed~?"
Hearing her mention that in a slightly mocking tone, the edges of Lance's mouth started to twitch slightly. He then opened the bottle of sunscreen and poured it into his hands. Rubbing his hand together before Lance begun to apply it on her back. Suppressing a moan as she could feel his hand massaging her back by biting her lip slightly, but Yumi was failing. Noticing that she was attempting to suppress a moan, Lance had smirked slightly.
"What's wrong, Yumi-Chan?" Lance had asked in a teasing tone. "Getting embarrassed~"
"H-Hey, don't m-mock me."
Yumi had said in a shaky tone, her cheeks had begun to become dusted with a shade of pink. Most of the time, she would to one who would be doing the teasing, but this time she was on the other side of the fence. Lance had noticed that she was close to breaking her calm composure and so he began to move his hands more skillfully. He had begun to move his hands downwards to her waist, however, he made sure not to touch her butt. Then moved onto both her thighs, her calves and then her toes.
"Ahhh." Yumi had finally let out a moan from her mouth after being rubbed down by Lance. "L-Lance-Kun, I think that you proved your point. But I didn't think that you would be so bold."
"Just so you know, I was teasing people way before I met you and Jeanne-Chan." Lance had said as he patted her on her head. "And about the being bold thing, you can blame yourselves for that."
Hearing that Yumi had pouted due to her not liking being the one being teased, but she then blushed slightly are admitted that she liked being massaged like that.
"W-Well, there is one more place that you forgot."
"And that would be?"
"My front side."
Yumi had said with a slight seductive smile on her face, as she was prepared to turn her body around. But she was stopped after seeing that someone had picked up the sunscreen that was laid down next to her.
"I think that I can handle that part~."
It was revealed to be Jeanne who was standing over Yumi with a very dark look on her face. She began to squeeze the sunscreen lotion into her hands, something that Yumi found slightly menacing.
"Uh, Jeanne-Chan. I really don't like that look on your face."
Without warning, Jeanne had pounced onto Yumi with a smirk on her face and she began her assault on her adoptive sister/best friend.
"Iyaaah! Jeanne don't touch me there!"
"I'm just going over the places that Lance-Kun had missed."
Before Lance could catch a glimpse of what was going on, Xenovia had snuck up behind him and covered both of his eyes with her hands. Making sure that he didn't look at the lewd acts that was occurring right in front of both of them.
"Don't be pulled in by their lewd acts, Lance-Sama!"
"Ah! Don't yell that in my ear!"
Lance had shouted as he was being forced to the ground by Xenovia who was still covering his eyes.
[Am I interrupting something?]
A familiar voice had asked. Despite Xenovia covering his eyes, he could only catch a glimpse of Avon who was flying towards them with his small wings.
"…no. Did something happen?"
[This thing started to ring in your jacket pocket.]
Looking forward, Lance had noticed that Avon was carrying his cellphone on the top of his head, which was still ringing.
"Oh, mind throwing it here?"
Hearing his request, Avon had threw his head into the air and launched his cellphone towards him. After he freed himself from Xenovia, he raised his hand into the air and caught it. He looked at the number and noticed that it said 'Unknown'. Answering his cell phone and he had placed it to his ear.
"Hello?"
[Well, it has been awhile since I heard from you.]
After he heard the familiar male's voice on the other end of the line, Lance had then raised his eyebrow out of confusion.
"Azazel? How did you get my number?"
[You don't have to sound like that. And about the number, I got the number from my darling little Yuuma.]
"Well, did you need anything? Or are you just calling to…?"
[It is about the Khaos Brigade. More specifically the Old Maou Faction.]
Noting the now serious tone in Azazel's voice, Lance had then straightened the expression that was on his face. Taking note of the change in mood shift around him, everyone had faced him with a look of curiosity on their face.
"Alright, I'm listening."
[During our agents' investigation of the Khaos Brigade, we were capable of finding some of their bases. One of them is located in a place distant from civilization so there won't be any worry of human casualties.] Azazel had explained over the other end of the line. [Inside there are Devils of High and Mid-Class levels.]
"Perfect. Actual fights make for a great test a person's skills. So it's the usual, right?"
[Yes, take anyone you can under arrest for interrogation. Gather as much information that is inside of the facility that you can.] Azazel had explained. [And then…destroy the entire facility.]
"Is there anything else that I need to know?"
[Yes, there are two people who're going to be joining your group.]
"Alright, I'm on it." Lance had said as he ended the call and turned towards everyone around him, while also standing on his feet. "Well ladies, we just got a mission. So, let's get geared up. And Jeanne-Chan stop sexually harassing Yumi."
Lance had told each of them, while heading in the direction of the mansion. Taking note of the direction that she was given, Jeanne had immediately got off of Yumi and helped her up to her face. Regaining her balance, Yumi had redone her swimsuit top and begun to head in the same direction as him.
"*Sigh* And I was just getting used to paradise."
"But~ Our jobs as Knights never end."
"Neither as an Exorcist, but I guess in my case…former Exorcist."
Yumi, Jeanne, and Xenovia had each given out their own opinions on the matter as they begun to follow after Lance. Seeing how quickly they had altered their mood with that single direction from Lance, Avon was then reminded of two people from the past.
[With just a single word, they corralled together and follow him.]
"…I know…. He is just like them, yet at the same time…so different."
[You're not wrong about….]
Avon had said, but his eyes widened after recognizing the voice who had responded to him. So he turned in the same direction as for where the voice had come from, however, there was no one there.
[*Sigh* You are as shy as you have always been.]
"Avon, you coming!"
[Yes!]
Avon had headed into the very same direction as Lance and the others.
Several minutes later, the four of them had left Avalon and arrived in the human world. But more specifically a park in an undisclosed city, currently Lance was slouching back on a park bench. Lance was currently wearing a modified short-sleeved dark green jacket with his KOC President's badge pinned onto his left breast-pocket, under his jacket, he was wearing a black sleeveless jacket that had a dark silver lining, black pants, and shoes.
Sitting next to him was Xenovia who was wearing her exorcist uniform that was being covered by a very long hooded cloak, but her face wasn't covered by the hood. During the summer break, Lance had developed their combat suits to be capable of handling far more resistance than normal clothes, such as cold and heat, but also against magic attacks.
"I wonder who we're going to be partnered with?"
"Dunno, Azazel never mentioned who they would be. So how does it feels to wear the uniform again?"
"It kinda feels nostalgic. I've been in the Church so long, so I don't think that I could go into battle without wearing it." Xenovia had said with a smile appearing on her face. "Also, do you think that it is a good idea for him to be out like that?"
Xenovia had pointed to Avon who was sitting down next to Lance and looking at the building along with the people who passed by.
"Don't worry. After arriving here, I had placed a barrier around the area around us. So no normal human can visually perceive us nor can they actually hear anything that we talk about." Lance had answered, he had then turned his attention towards the small dragon. "So how does it feel like to be outside of Avalon?"
[Most of the time that after a battle to defend Avalon or just training/fighting with Tannin. I go into a spiritual hibernation, so I have never really gone into the Human World before.] Avon had explained, with a noticeable smile forming on his face. [It feels good to be on this side of this world.]
"That is great to hear."
Lance had answered to Avon, he then looked and noticed both Yumi and Jeanne arriving in front of both of them with smiles forming on their face. Both were wearing cloaks that covered their combat clothing and in their hands, they were carrying crepes.
"Lance-Kun, Xeno-Chan~ We're back."
"I heard rumors that the places here sold delicious crepes."
Yumi had said as both of them had handed out the crepes to both of them. Soon they took a seat eating their crepes waiting for their helpers to arrive. Getting slightly tired of waiting, Lance had stood up on his feet and he started to stand.
"*Sigh* Where are they? I don't…."
"Laaaaance-Kuuuun!"
"Wait. Is that…?"
TACKLE!
Before even he could comprehend what was going on, he looked and noticed that there was a very familiar chestnut haired who had her hair tied in twin tails. Reacting quickly to surprise, Lance had then caught her and begun to spin her around before stopping.
"I-Iri-Chan?!"
It was in fact, Irina Shidou, both Lance's and Issei's childhood friend. Similar to Xenovia, Irina was wearing her exorcist uniform under the similar cloak that she wore when he returned to Kuoh. Lance had looked at her with a slight smile on his face, combined with slight confusion.
"Iri-Chan. What're you doing here?"
"I'm representing Heaven, to be more specifically I'm representing Michael-Sama as his Ace!"
Irina had spoken out cheerfully, but Lance and the others had no idea what she was talking about.
"What do you mean as his 'Ace'?"
"Oh, you don't know Lance-Kun. Well since the alliance between the Three Factions, using the Evil Piece Technology of Devils and the Artificial Sacred Gear Technology of the Fallen Angels. Heaven had eventually developed the Brave Saints, it's just like the Devil's Evil Pieces, but instead, they turn Humans and other races into Angels."
[Turning other species into Angels?!]
The four of them had shouted out loud, with each of them having their own reactions.
"Something like that actual became possible."
"That sounds interesting."
"That sounds awesome!"
"They did something like that without letting me see it!"
Xenovia was astonished by what she heard. Yumi was interested in the concept of other species being able to turn into Angels. Jeanne was even more cheerful after hearing about it. While Lance, on the other hand, was interested in the subject, but he was even more disappointed that he wasn't there to actually see them being created.
HUG!
Taking note of Xenovia being there with them, Irina had wrapped her arms around her former partner and best friend.
"Xenovia! I'm glad you are doing okay! I know that our last words may have been awkward, but I'm truly happy!"
"Yes, it has been awhile Irina. I'm glad that you are doing alright."
Xenovia had replied with a slight smile forming on her face after reuniting with Irina. Seeing both of them rekindle their friendship with one another, but after hearing why she was here and who sent her. A curious expression appeared on his face.
"Wait if, Oji…I mean Michael…."
"About Michael-Sama. Why didn't you ever tell me?"
Irina had faced him with a slight look of betrayal. Lance had an idea of what she was referring to, but he had confused to play it off.
"Uh, I have no idea what you are talking about?"
"I already heard about it from your uncle Michael-Sama. Why didn't you tell me that you were the grandson the Lord and my spiritual support?! When I heard that from Michael-Sama, my I felt betrayal seeping into my heart that my dear childhood friend my one true l…!" Irina had stopped, as she could feel her face beginning to heat up. "…I was just shocked that you never told me."
"W-Well, to be fair. I love my memories about that when I was around eight." Lance had said, while he began to scratch the side of his cheek. "Plus, I thought that you would freak out. …I'm sorry, is there anything that I could do to make it up to you?"
He had finished out loud, as he looked in her direction. Irina had thought about what he had said, and then she began to push her fingers together shyly.
"W-Well, if you promise to go on a date with me sometimes."
"Okay, sure."
Lance had agreed to her conditions, which caused her to smile brightly. Her attention was caught towards both Yumi and Jeanne.
"I'm sorry, I didn't introduce myself to you two. My name is Irina Shidou!"
"Hello. My name is Yumi."
"Oh, you know. You really look just like Kiba-Kun."
"Hahaha. Well, a long unexplained story short. He is my long lost twin brother."
"And my name is Jeanne D' Arc, the inheritor of the soul of Joan of Arc."
Jeanne had given out of her introduction after Yumi, with Irina being shocked after hearing that.
"You mean you possess the spirit of that famous Saint."
"That is correct! Angel-Chan!"
Minutes later….
A familiar magic circle had glowed in front of them that Lance knew belonged to the Fallen Angels. Appearing on it, was a familiar attractive raven haired seventeen-year-old with a slight golden bang and violet eyes. A figure that rivaled the two Great Onee-Samas of Kuoh Academy and with breasts that were slightly bellow Rias Gremory in terms of size. The hybrid who inherited the beauty of both a fallen angel and human, wearing clothing that she would only wear in combat.
The only daughter of the Leader of Grigori, Yuuma Amano. Seeing her Lance had smiled, while Xenovia, Yumi, and Jeanne had frowned.
"Hello, Lance-Kun. And inept rivals for MY Lance-Kun's heart."
Hearing that comment from her, the three girls had begun to send an annoyed glare towards her. Noting Irina's presence, Yuuma had looked in her direction.
"Oh. Who're you?"
"Hello. My name is Irina Shidou, Michael-Sama's Ace."
"Ace. Oh, the Brave Saints that Tou-Sama had told me about." Yuuma had mumbled to herself, before smiling towards Irina with her hand held out. "My name is Yuuma Amano. Daughter of Azazel, the Leader of the Fallen Angels."
"You're Azazel-Sama's daughter." Irina had said as she shook her hand, but a slight look of shock had shown up on her face. "Amano? *Gasp* You wouldn't also be the daughter of the famous Exorcist, Mizuki Amano."
"Yes. But, the only relative that I have is my dear Tou-Sama. I have also heard a lot about you Irina Shidou-San." Yuuma had said, before looking towards Irina with a dangerous smirk forming on her face along with a very dark aura. "Just know that I won't give up my Lance-Kun without a fight~"
Irina had noticeably shuttered frightened after hearing the tone that was in Yuuma's voice and she begun to tear up slightly. Letting go of her hand, Irina had immediately hid behind Xenovia out of slight fright.
Yuuma's attention was then caught towards Avon who was had jumped off of the bench.
"Who is this?"
[Another dragon? He appears to be a Sacred Gear.]
Qinglóng had spoken out loud, wondering who Avon was.
"This is the form of the Independent Avatar-Type Sacred Gear, Avalon Drakon. That I had completed over the summer break." Lance had said. "His names Avon."
"You completed a Sacred Gear." Yuuma had stated, with a slight smirk forming on her face. "I have a feeling that Tou-Sama isn't going to like that."
"Well, since everyone is here." Lance had said as he stood up from off the bench. "I'm sure that your father had given you the location of the base."
"Yep, just let me make the magic circle."
Yuuma had held begun to activate the magic circle that had started to cover all of them in a bright light.
Once the light had finally died down, they appeared in front of a forest-like area that was mainly covered in nothing but trees and greenery. Standing in front of the four of them was a large building that had a large steel door that blocked the front entrance into the building. Everyone had then turned in the same direction as Lance, who had reached into his pocket and pulled out to badges.
"Here, put this one. You two."
Lance had instructed both of Irina and Yuuma. As instructed, both of them had pinned the badges on their clothing's collars. After that Lance had placed his finger on his badge then touched his ear, once he did his own personal magic circle had appeared in front of it before vanishing. Seeing that everyone there had soon did the very same thing, with the same magic circle appearing.
"So, what do you think we should do Lance-Sama?"
Xenovia had asked.
"Well, it doesn't seem like there's only one way into the building. And I am pretty sure that they wouldn't make another way for someone to enter the building." Lance had surmised as he viewed the building. "So, I guess we should charge forward. Iri-Chan are you capable of using light weapons?"
"Yep."
Irina had answered as she gathered light in her hand and created a small light weapon. Seeing that, Lance had nodded his head in agreement before turning his attention towards Yuuma.
"Yuuma-Chan. I don't know whether or not the inside of the building is spacious or not for you to be able to use your Balance Breaker or whether or not the structure can handle to full assault of your Sacred Gear, so can you hold back your power a little? The same thing goes for you Xenovia."
"Yes, Lance-Sama."
"That won't be an issue, Lance-Kun. I'm not really that much of a Power-Type anyway." Yuuma had said with a smile on her face. "You guys weren't the only ones doing training over the summer."
"Well, ladies why don't we be generous and knock on the front door?" Lance had asked them as the four of them begun to head to the front door. "Xenovia would you mind doing the honors?"
Xenovia had nodded understanding what Lance wanted her to do, holding her hand out and a very familiar dimensional storage had opened and she released Durandal. Gripping it by its hilt, Xenovia had begun to release Durandal's destructive holy aura and brought it downwards releasing a holy wave.
DOOOOOOOOON!
The attack that Xenovia had generated completely destroyed the steel door blocking their entrance. Reacting to the sudden noise, the Devils of the old maou faction had turned their attentions towards the intruders.
"What the hell?"
"Who's there?!"
"Whoa, just look at the crowd here."
"Who the fuck are you?!"
"Lancelot Du Lac of the Chivalric Order." Lance had said as he was the first person to step through the cloud of smoke that was generated from that attack. "And we'll be kicking your collective asses today."
He had manifest Secace in his hands and rested it on his shoulder. Immediately recognizing him from his appearance, the devils there begun to raise their auras and their killing intent.
"Lancelot Du Lac. The Chivalric Order's Magic Knight and that whore Gabriel's little brat."
"Those are fighting words."
Hearing one of the male devil's snide comment, Lance had narrowed his eyes slightly. Without warning the Devils had launched a barrage of demonic bullets towards him. While everyone looked to be prepared to defend against the attack, Lance had only turned his attention towards Avon.
"Avon!"
[Got it!]
At Lance's command, the jewel on Avon's head begun to glow with a bright light and a barrier was formed around each of them that blocked each of the bullets.
"This is one of the abilities of Avalon Drakon, Avon is capable of making a barrier that defends against both magical and physical attacks. From what he could remember about his past, Avon was a Dragon that mainly specialized in abilities relying on both offense and defense. So he was mainly a Technique and Support-Type Fighter." Lance explained to them. "Well, enough with that. Let's get down to business. The Devils hear each carry powers on the same level as a High and Middle-Class. So Irina and Xenovia, you two each deal with the Devils that are on the right. Yumi and Jeanne, you deal with the ones on the left. So that leaves me, Yuuma and Avon to deal with the ones standing right in front of us. If possible let some of them live so that they could be interrogated."
After giving out commands to everyone they had nodded in agreement. They fully understanding how serious he was, due to him not using any of their nicknames. Avon understanding the start of the battle had removed the barrier and allowed them to battle against the large crowd of Devils from the Old Maou Faction. Those who had robes that were covering their combat suits removed them as the battle had started.
On the right side of the battlefield. Irina had made a sword of light in her hand and begun to cut through the Devils in front of her. Even those who weren't killed by the attack, due to their weakness to light, they had soon suffered from major burns.
"Ugh. D-Damn bitch!"
"Die!
Many of the devils had gathered demonic power in their hands and fired a large number of demonic bullets at Irina. Before any of the attacks could even reach her, Xenovia had appeared in front of her at high speeds blocking the first assault of attacks using Durandal. Fixing her grip on Durandal, Xenovia had then slashed it horizontally cutting apart the rest of the demonic bullets using a shockwave of Durandal's holy aura. Looking forward, she had noticed that the holy wave had not only cut through the Devils, but also caused some major damage to the wall in front of them.
"I still haven't mastered Durandal's aura yet."
While Xenovia was commenting on her current control over Durandal's aura. Some of the Devils that weren't taken out by the attack had prepared to attack her, but were stopped after being torn apart by halo-shaped light weapons that were created by Irina.
"Heh. Just like old times right, Xenovia?"
Irina declared happily as she looked in the same direction as Xenovia, as she created a sword of light.
"Yes. This definitely brings back old memories." Xenovia answered with a smile forming on her face, enjoying being partnered up with her old friend. "Like before. Wanna see who takes out the most Devils?"
"You're on, Xenovia!"
CUT! SLASH!
The sounds of Devils' bodies being slashed apart by the swordswomen duo, who wielded their own bladed weapons. Meanwhile, on the left side of the battlefield. Jeanne was charging at the crowd of Devils wielding two holy swords created through her blade blacksmith. She was slicing through the Devils using both swords in a dual wielding style, Jeanne danced through the crowd of Devils at high-speeds.
"Damn, human!"
"Dammit, stand still!"
Several of the Devils being to shout as they couldn't keep up with her movements. Even though they fired off a barrage of demonic bullets, she Jeanne dodged and danced through the attacks.
"Since, Lance-Kun said to leave them alive. Then…."
Jeanne had recreated her holy swords into a combo of holy ice and holy lightning. The ice holy sword released a misty aura, while the holy lightning began to spark. Using both her godspeed and mobility, she began to cut the devils using her holy lightning sword that generated electricity throughout their entire bodies paralyzing them. Twisting her body around, Jeanne sliced her blade around releasing an icy mist that begun to slowly freeze the devil's bodies encasing them in ice.
"Dammit! Would you all just die?!"
One of the devils released demonic power that was on par with high-class devils and fired off a barrage of bullets at her. Noticing the attack, Jeanne had created a three-layered barrier using magic that blocked the devil's attack, but she noticed that her barrier had broken apart.
"Well, I guess that I still have a long way to go in using magic."
Jeanne had commented, with a smile appearing on her face. Charging through the crowd of devils using their far superior godspeed was Yumi, who was carrying a sheathed Masamune near her hip. Reaching for its hilt, Yumi had quickly unsheathed and quickly begun to slash through a large number of devils using a barrage of lightning-fast slashes that couldn't be followed by untrained eyes.
"Dammit! Take this!"
One of the devils had held their hands up, several crescent sharp things that were made up from his demonic powers had all charged towards Yumi almost like missiles. Yumi closed her eyes for a second before opening them again, focusing her aura into her eyesight. She became capable of seeing the very direction to where the blades were going. Channeling Masamune's holy wind around its blade to increase its cutting edge, Yumi had begun to cut down all of the sharp blades around her.
The Devil controlling them had altered the blades trajectory aiming towards Yumi's blind spot. However after she realized where the attack was heading, Yumi had spun around on her heel catching the blade using her sword's edge and directed it at its originate. The devil's blade had stabbed him in is chest, causing blood to spurt out from his wound.
"Sorry, but I have no blindside."
Yumi had declared to them. In the battle against, Yuuma and the larger crowd of Devils since she couldn't use her balance breaker she was using her sacred gear's spear form. Several of the devils charged at Yuuma with demonic power gathered in their hands and began to launch a barrage of elemental magics that varied from fireballs, ice spears, lightning and wind blades. Yuuma began to spin around her spear in her hand gathering a large amount of lightning at the tip of her blade. With great precision, she sliced through the magic attacks using her spears blade much to their shock.
"Tch, dammit."
"Is this the daughter of the bastard Azazel!"
"Die! You filthy half-breed!"
One of the devils had surrounded their hands in demonic power and charged at her from behind. Before they could even fire off their attack, Yuuma had used her azure dragon spear to direct their attack towards the roof of the building. Soon more and more of them begun to gather around her and fired off a barrage of attacks at her, which caused a large explosion that covered the area in smoke.
However, they soon looked up and noticed that she took flight above them. But instead of having four sets of fallen angel wings, she now has five.
"Tsk Tsk, naughty devil needs to be punished."
Yuuma had raised her azure dragon spear into the air with a large amount of aura beginning to surround her and soon thunderclouds seemed to have formed above them. A large amount of azure lightning then crashed down from the clouds striking the devils around her. The attack had caused the devils around her to fall onto the ground jittering on the ground.
"That's what you get for messing with the Azure Dragon Queen."
Yuuma had stated as she tapped her spear on her shoulder making an audible noise. As she was standing right there a larger devil with a far more muscular build had appeared behind her releasing a menacing aura from his body.
"You know the only good part about you fallen bitch are those luscious bodies of…."
BANG!
Before the large devil could finish his sentence, Yuuma had directed the bottom of her spear into the devil's chest with a great amount of force. The impact from the attack had caused the devil to fall unconscious on the ground generating a loud thud on the ground.
"Humph. The bigger the bark.." Yuuma had stated as she tapped her spear on the ground. "The lesser the bite."
Currently, a much crowd of devil began to aim a large number of their attacks at Lance, who charged forward towards them slashing through every one of their attacks using Secace. As for the attacks that he could not react to in time, he was being defended by Avon who created a collective number of small barriers that had blocked the rest of their attacks.
In the amount of time that Lance was with Avon after he was brought back into the world, both had begun to practice working together in combat. Lance had held his hand out creating a strong sword of light in his hand, he began to cut through the rest of the demonic attacks. Adjusting his grip on Secace and aimed it forward at one of the devils, but they were capable of dodging the edge of the blade.
A demonic aura had surrounded Secace's blade, a hole in space had opened and the blade had vanished into it. Though it appeared through another one and pierced through the body of the devil, with blood beginning to spit out blood from their mouth. Pulling Secace from the hole in space, Lance continued to close-range battle against the crowd of Devils and begun to react to their attacks.
[Even against this many of them, Lance is still capable of reacting to their attacks.]
"Well, if it isn't an adorable little dragon."
"You don't so dangerous."
Avon had looked and noticed that there were three devils that had strayed from the others, with a dangerous aura resonating from their bodies.
[I'd be careful underestimating me like that. No matter my size, I am still the Avalon Dragon.]
"Hah. I'd like to see that."
One of them had declared, as they charged towards Avon. Using his small stature, Avon had charged towards the devil and he jumped up jumping off of the devil's face. Since gaining his new stature, Avon had begun practicing to move around in this small form. Spreading his wings, Avon began to hover high in the hair and gathered a golden aura in his mouth. Soon he fired off a wave of a barrage of holy energy from his mouth and aimed it at the Devils that surrounded him. The attack had sent an almost a great amount of pain had run throughout their bodies.
"Yo, Avon. Wanna try that other ability again?"
Lance had called out as he dodged another attack from the devils and followed by cutting them down using Secace. Avon had looked at him with a slightly confused look on his face, before starting.
[But that never worked during actual practice. What makes you think that it'll work right now in combat?]
"Because…whoa." Lance had suddenly ducked dodging an attack from a devil from behind and following with by kneeing them in their stomach. "Because Sacred Gears can adapt and evolve based on the feelings of their user's along with their thoughts. With an Independent Avatar the same thing applies, but sometimes faith can also play a big part in it."
Taking in everything that Lance had said, Avon had looked towards him as he continued to fight against the devils around him. Several memories of his past, but more specifically the memories that he had of the Knight, Sir Lancelot and the Magician, Merlin.
[You still may not be as skilled or refined with a sword like Sir Lancelot.] Avon had started, with the jewel on his forehead beginning to glow with a bright silvery white light. [Nor are you as intelligent as Merlin when it came to understanding magical calculations. But….]
"Whoever said I had to be like both of them?!" Lance had finished with a smirk on his face as he held his hand out towards Avon. "They had their own way of kicking ass. While, I have my own. So are you with me?!"
[I'm with you partner!]
Avon called out as he transformed into a ball of silvery white light and he charged towards Lance as a stream of light. Going into his hand the bright light had begun to slightly singe his hand slightly, feeling his hand start to burn Lance had winced slightly. Ignoring the slight pain, he began to put his feelings and the image into the light in his hand.
"Ooooooooooooooooooo."
Lance had let out a loud noise from his mouth, raising his hand where the light resided into the air. Suddenly a bright light was released from his hand and finally took a physical shape. The appearance of a double-edged ornate longsword with gold designs running along the length of the blade, a small blue jewel embedded into the sword guard and a blue double-handed hilt. A great amount of holy energy begun to be released from the blade.
"Whew. Well, that was a kind of a rush." Lance had stated as he begun to admire the new sword. "So how does this form feel like Avon?"
[Hmmm, pretty alright.] Avon had said with the light from the jewel beginning to blink with every word that he spoke. [I feel like my abilities can be more focused. I think that the Avalon Heroic Sword would match this form.]
"Well, let's test it out." Lance had said as he placed Secace back in its dimensional storage and face the rests of the devils, while clenching it both hands. "Now, let's go."
Taking a single step forward, Lance had charged at the crowd of Devils at god-speed and began to take down the devils in front of him using the sword. Using precise sword techniques to take down the devils who were around him. Most of them had stepped away from him gathering demonic power in their hands and fired off a barrage of magical attacks. Sensing the attacks coming towards him, Lance gathered the holy aura around his sword and slashed his sword horizontally.
Zuooooooooooooooooon!
Making contact with the sword, their magic attacks were sent flying back towards them and were stuck back by their attacks. But, as he held the Avalon Heroic Sword in his hand. He felt that something was slightly off, an almost dark presence coming from the inside of the sacred gear.
[Did you feel that?]
"Yea, but I couldn't exactly tell what it was." Lance had said resting the sword on his shoulders. "Well, things are about to be wrapped up. So we can check on it later."
After the battle had fully concluded, everyone met outside of the large building with the inside looking almost in nothing but rubble. Everyone was standing around the remaining devils who were left alive and were all bound up in chains created through angel magic that would seal their demonic powers. Yuuma had stood in front of them with her hands held out and waved slightly.
"Enjoy being interrogated be the Three Factions."
Yuuma had said cheerfully as she activated the magic circle that would transport her to the underworld to be interrogated. After a while, Lance had walked outside of the building and towards everyone with documents in his hands.
"Well, this was all that I could gather from inside of the building." Lance had said to each of them. "Well, I guess that they wouldn't have everything on their plans inside. Everyone, you did a great job in the battle."
"Thanks, Lance-Kun."
"Well, there were things that I could improve on."
Lance had then looked and noticed Yuuma beginning to inch closer towards him with a cute expression on her face.
"Sooo~ What did you think Lance-Kun?"
Yuuma had asked him, with a cute expression appearing on her face. It wasn't her normal seductive look, but instead, it was the look of a normal girl who was with the boy that she liked. Seeing the look on her face, Lance had begun to scratch the side of his cheek slightly.
"Well, I was impressed." Lance had stated, with a smile on his face. "You almost seem like a different person before the start of the summer. So what kind of training did you do?"
After asking that, Yuuma's expression had turned more seductive and stepping forward. She had pressed her breasts up against his arms and looked at him with a smile on her face.
"Well~" Yuuma said with a seductive tone. "Maybe we could talk it over on a date~"
"Sure, I do…."
Before Lance could mutter an answer, he was immediately pulled away from her by both Yumi and Jeanne.
"Don't you have something do you?"
The tone that came from Yumi was full of contempt. Hearing the tone of her voice, Yuuma had narrowed her eyes slightly towards him. But she had soon sighed and held her hand out towards Lance.
"Alright fine, I will just take the files to Tou-Sama."
Lance had nodded and he placed the documents that he had gathered in her hands. Soon Yuuma had activated a magic circle after taking a couple of steps away from the others, as the magic circle was glowing brightly she had looked towards Lance.
"I really did like that you took charge like that Lance-Kun." Yuuma had said, before blushing slightly. "I'd really like to see you take charge somewhere else."
Lance had known what she was talking about and he began to turn his head slightly, while laughing nervously at what she said. After she finally vanished through the magic circle, Irina had let out a slight sigh of relief.
"She seemed so nice and sweet." Irina had said. "But why did she look like she wanted to hurt me?"
"That woman may seem nice and sweet on the outside, but she is crazy on the outside when it comes to Lance-Kun." Jeanne had answered, Irina's statement. "But, she was right about one thing."
"And that was?"
Lance had decided to ask, as Jeanne had looked towards him with a cute smile on her face.
"I really did like how you took charge of everyone just like that."
"Same here, Lance-Kun."
He was caught in-between two beautiful blondes who were smiling cutely at him. Lance noticed that Xenovia was glaring at both of them, along with Irina who was pouting cutely.
"Well, why don't we return to Avalon?"
Lance had immediately changed the subject as he summoned Secace in his hand, then cut his finger slightly and his blood began to run down the blade. A calm aura had begun to surround the blade, he then thrust the blade forward with a hole in space beginning to open. Turning the blade like a key, a white magic circle then opened right in front of them and removed it. With the portal to Avalon opened, everyone had begun to walk through it.
Soon they appeared on the beaches of the island, with Irina making an astonished expression on her face as she viewed the wonderful sight.
"This place is beautiful." Irina had spoken out with sparkling eyes. "Is this really the legendary island where the Lady of the Lake raised Sir Lancelot, who grew into the greatest knight in the world."
"Yea, a lot of things had happened here," Lance answered. "Well, why don't be head over the mansion? I think that Elaine should be back."
"Speaking of which, I didn't hear from Elaine-Sama all day."
Xenovia had added, with a wondering look on her face.
"She said that she had to meet someone."
Lance had answered, as they begun to head towards the mansion that rested in the middle of the island. Once they had made it to the front door, Lance could hear people from outside talking with each other.
"Well, I think she brought some guests with her."
Opening the door and walked inside, Lance had seen a familiar blonde female sitting on the couch drinking tea that Elaine had made. With her, there was another woman, a nun with a veil that covered her hair. She was a woman in her later 20s, she had blue eyes and gave off a northern-European look. And she had the body of a female actress.
Looking towards Lance, the blonde haired had smiled adorably at him.
"Hello, my Angelic Child."
"Kaa-San. I thought I said not to call me that."
In fact, it was the blonde haired female Seraph herself, Gabriel. And Lance was embarrassed due to her calling him by his nickname. Xenovia had taken a good look at the young nun she was with and after realizing who it was, her face had turned blue. She had turned towards them with a warm smile that gave her a very tender aura.
"S-S-S-S-S-S-Sister Griselda! W-W-W-W-W-What are you doing here?!"
It was the first time that Lance or anyone had seen Xenovia sweat nervously like. But she had then looked towards Lance and the others.
"Nice to meet you all. My name is Griselda Quarta, the Queen Gabriel-Sama who is the ranked as the King of Hearts." Griselda had then looked towards Lance, with a very genuine smile on her face. "Hello Lance-Sama, though you may have inherited your mother's face, you release your father's reckless aura."
Even though she said that while giving out her tender aura, Lance's expression had fallen slightly.
"Just Lance without honorifics is alright." Lance had said with a slightly nervous smirk, but he then thought about what she said before. "Why does everyone keep saying that to me?"
After giving out her introduction to her King's son, Griselda had turned towards Xenovia with a slightly dark smile on her face.
"It's been a while, Warrior Xenovia. I never thought we would ever meet again like this."
Her tone was calm, but Xenovia and everyone else could tell that there was anger in her voice.
"Y-Yes, Sister Griselda. I-It has been awhile…. H-How h-have you b-been…?"
"'How have you been' isn't something you should be saying right now? Why haven't you contacted me until now? Even though I've called you several times."
Griselda had then begun to squish Xenovia's cheeks using both of her hands while continuing to scold her almost like an older sister would their younger sibling. While that was happening, Lance had snuck passed them and took a seat in front of his mother.
"So, Kaa-San what're you doing here?"
"Well aside from wanting to see my adorable child again." Gabriel had answered as had she held her hand out. "That gift that Elaine-San had mentioned before it finished."
With a wave of her hand, a gold magic circle had appeared in the middle of the table. Once the light had soon vanished, four sets of thirteen cards had appeared in front of them. These weren't normal cards, they were all colored golden and released a very faint holy light. These cards also had the four suits; Spades, Heart, Club and Diamonds imprinted on them.
"I guess these are the Brave Saints that I heard about."
"I'm guessing that you already heard about them from Irina-San." Gabriel had started. "Onii-Sama, I and the others were talking along with the other among the Seraph. We all thought that it would be a great idea that you were given your own Brave Saints since you were born to use them and since you already have ten wings."
Gabriel had explained to him, with a smile on her face.
"Well, I really have no reason to disagree. I think that it would be an interesting to go up against Rias, Sona and the others in a Rating Game one day." Lance had concluded. "Well, since I have no objections. I accept."
Hearing that from him Gabriel had smiled brightly at his answer.
"I'm happy to hear that!" Gabriel had replied. "Now, all that we need to do is…."
"Yes! Lance-Kun now has his own Brave Saints!" Jeanne had cheered out loud. "Now he can make me one of his Angels."
They were both stopped as Jeanne had hugged him from behind, with Lance being pushed forward. He then looked and noticed that Yumi had also made a very interested look on her face.
"Well, becoming one of Lance-Kun's Angels would be great."
"Yes! Becoming an Angel under Lance-Sama does sound…ouch!"
Xenovia was stopped by Griselda who pinched the side of her cheek hard and was giving Xenovia a creepy smile.
"To become Lance-Sama's Brave Saints, would be an honor Xenovia." Griselda had said, as she continued to scold her. "I also heard from Elaine-Sama that you were picked to be Lance-Sama's fiancee. So I hope that you won't cause any trouble for him in both regards."
"I won't cause any trouble for Lance-Sama, I promise."
Xenovia had answered slightly frightened of her. However, after hearing about her being his fiance Irina had become slightly confused. Her expression then begun to twist into adorably angry as she looked towards her friend and then her childhood friend and not so secret crush.
"Wh-What?! Fiancee!"
