(A/N: Enjoy not one but two chapters! But by the end, I'll give you guys the usual updates and review responses and there's a lot to talk about and it's important. So for the time being sit back, get the popcorn, favorite drink and enjoy.)
Blink and You Will Miss It! Fight!
"Come on, mister, play with us." "Yeah, we just want to slash your head off." The twins said as they clash with Renji as he parries their chainsaw attacks with his Zabimaru.
"I like to keep my head where it is thanks, now Roar, Zabimaru!" Renji shouts as the segments of his zanpakuto come down on the two chainsaw twins, both Ile and Nel dodge the attack and quickly rush over to Renji with their revving chainsaws in hand. But the lieutenant soul reaper quickly pulls back the segments of his whip-like zanpakuto and have them move towards the twins yet again.
"Wah!" Ile said as both twins had little time to react and barely dodged Zabimaru's blade segments with Renji quickly pulling back the zanpakuto together.
"Had enough?" Renji said with a grin while not a big fan of fighting little kids he knew that these two twins are anything but normal the red-haired soul reaper keeps his guard up nonetheless.
"Shut up!" "Yeah! We are not done with you yet, stupid pineapple head!" Ile and Nel said in a nasty tone while starting to get frustrated with the soul reaper as they both charge towards him raising their chainsaws over their heads.
"Pineapple head!? Hmph no respect, someone should teach you brats a lesson." Renji said being insulted by the twins he quickly blocks their chainsaw attacks using his Zabimaru but he quickly dashes away from the twin's attack since he knows that Zabimaru can take so much especially with the burning chainsaws.
"Wel, his hairstyle does make him look like a pineapple," Serafall said as she takes a better look at Renji's hairstyle.
"At least it makes his look unique," Kisuke said with his fan covering his mouth.
Back in the gymnasium, an idea came to one of the sisters that being Ilel, she quickly goes to Nel and whispers into her ear. The other sister twin listens to what she said and then a wide evil grin is plastered on her face loving what she's hearing.
"I'm not liking that look of theirs," Renji said keeping his guard up still with Zabimaru.
"What's the matter, mister!?" Aren't you going to teach us a lesson!?" The twins said in a taunting matter with a dark grin on their faces as they both go directly towards Renji.
"I'm just getting to that! Roar! Zabimaru!" Renji shouts as he swings his zanpakuto while it extends into segments stretching longer than before towards the twins.
As Zabimaru comes down on them the twins quickly split away from each other as the zanpakuto slams on the wooden floor creating a puff of smoke and debris. Nel jumps towards Renji and goes directly towards him while Ile goes around to his side. Nel made sure to keep Renji's attention on her as the young girl continuously swipes and slashes at the soul reaper with her chainsaw making Renji block or evade her attacks using his zanpakuto.
Then in the corner of his eye, he sees Ile charging towards him and was very close to taking out his head with her chainsaw. Renji quickly used his shunpo to dodge the attack in nick of time.
"Aww...he dodged again!" "You're no fun!." The sisters complained getting annoyed with Renji being able to dodge and evade their attacks with ease.
"Hmph, sorry to disappoint but I'm not here to be your playmate," Renji said as he swings his Zabimaru to the side as the zanpakuto extends itself moving directly to the twins. Both girls quickly jump upward making Renji miss but the soul reaper moves the handle of his zanpakuto to bring back the extended blade and returning back to its normal length.
Renji then goes on to the offensive and dash towards one of the twins this time being Nel by swinging down Zabimaru on her. Nel quickly blocks Zabimaru with her chainsaw but she could feel the pressure that Renji is forcing on her. Ile quickly goes to her sister's aid and swings her chainsaw at Renji only for the soul reaper move out of the way forcing the sister to stop to avoid slashing her own to ribbons.
Then Renji creating some distance an idea came to him as he moves away from the twins while they regroup. Renji then raises Zabimaru up over his head and begins to swing the sword around and around while it begins to extend making the swings wider and wider.
"I wonder what's Renji's plan?" Serafall asked wondering what the crimson red-haired soul reaper is up to.
"I think this battle won't last long," Kisuke said
The twins would back away as Zabimaru gets longer and the swings continue to get wider until a certain point and then suddenly Renji swings around randomly as Zabimaru's segments begin to ricochet all over the gymnasium causing a good amount of damage to the place. Both Ile and Nel desperately dodge and block Zabimaru's segments as the zanpakuto continues to shoot around in different directions. But as they keep dodging and evading the twins finally realize that they are surrounded by Zabimaru's segments.
"Gotcha!" Renji exclaimed as he yanks back Zabimaru and before the twins could react they got snared in the whip-like zanpakuto's segments wrapped up from head to feet forcing them to let go of their chainsaws.
"Hey!" "Let us go, you stupid pineapple head!" The twins shouted as they struggle to get out of the wrapped up segments of Zabimaru.
"I have a name you know, it's Renji Abarai! Remember it!" Renji said as he pulls back Zabimaru with the twins still tied up. The lieutenant then raises his zanpakuto over his head, turns around and swings Zabimaru downward to the ground with the twins screaming landing head first against the hardwood floor knocking them both out in one swing.
"Ow….." "Stu-stupid..pine...apple...blah." The twin said before going unconscious.
FIGHT OVER! Ile and Nel from House of Phenex RETIRED!, Renji Abarai from House of Gremory WINS!
-Studio Room-
"Well, wasn't that a smashing of a fight," Serafall said trying to make a pun only to hear crickets making her pout.
"A few minutes early than I predicted but it was a fine fight overall, but it's alright Ms. Serafall everyone will have their moment," Kisuke said with a jolly smile as he pats the leviathan on the back in sympathy while he secretly keeps promoting his shop using his fan by opening and closing it, every time he opens it a new offer would appear and quickly replaced with the address and direction of his store. As Kisuke does this he winks at the camera and in turn at the audience.
Meanwhile, Sona and Tsubaki could only look on in disbelief as sweatdrops appear on the side of their heads with only one word echoing in their minds.
Shameless.
-Team Gremory Base-
Back in the base, everybody cheered save for Rias who simply smiles being happy with the result and Koneko with the white-haired girl giving a rare smile.
"Well, that's one way to beat an opponent," Yuuto said with a smile while he can't but chuckle at Renji's way of getting things done.
"Hmph...didn't think he would use that maneuver again with a slight difference of course," Uryu said chuckling a little remembering how Renji use trick once before back in Hueco Mundo with the difference being that it didn't go out with a bang.
"Hey guys, can you hear me!" Renji called as he remains behind in the gymnasium while the twins are teleported back to their base.
Using her magic Rias makes a communication link with Renji. "We hear you Renji, what's the matter?"
"I'm going on ahead towards the enemy lines, I still have plenty of energy for another fight!" Renji said as he exits the gymnasium and heading out to the town.
"Are you sure about that, Renji?" Rukia asked while his battle with the twins was short, she like the rest knew that they were just pawns.
"Those two were only pawns, we have yet to face Riser's bishops, knights, his last rook and most importantly his Queen," Akeno said knowing that while they have a winning streak going she knew that they can't get too cocky.
Rias remains silent for the moment since so far neither side has remained in Fake Karakura after a battle. Maybe she can take advantage of this situation especially since Renji is not exhausted for the moment.
"Very well Renji, but keep in mind that while we might have our winning streak we can't underestimate them not for a minute. Just be careful." Rias said giving Renji the green light to go on ahead.
"Don't worry I'll keep my guard up," Renji said as he walks through Fake Karakura Town going straight towards Team Phenex Base.
-Team Phenex Base-
While the twins come back to the base via teleportation circle Riser remains watching the monitor and in turn, watching Renji walking towards their base.
"Hmph….these soul reapers are rather annoying, Ravel tell me that you found a weakness for them?" Riser asked looking over towards his sister.
"I've been doing my research on them and so far I couldn't find a straight answer aside that each of them has their own unique traits." Ravel as she goes through her research on soul reapers.
"It's clear that we may have underestimated Rias' new friends, but now it's time for the kid gloves come off. Yubelluna go and destroy that soul reaper!" Riser ordered as he stands from his seat.
"Yes, my lord," Yubelluna said bowing to her King as she was about to head out and eliminate Renji.
"Hold on! We still have yet to know what the rest of them could do, we already know of Rias' original pieces' powers and abilities, and with three of them possessing sacred gears. At least we already eliminated one of them. But we can't simply can't send our best at random without knowing what we're really up against. We need to know before we make our big play." Ravel said giving a good argument.
Riser stops and thinks for a moment of what Ravel said placing his thumb and index finger under his chin while Yubelluna remains in her position waiting for his order. "Hmm...very well sister if you insist, then I won't argue." Riser said agreeing with Ravel's argument.
"My plan would be to have the pawns and if needed both knights and bishop to be our scouts so to speak and do battle with the Karakura group," Ravel said with the rest of Riser's peerage looking at her with a shocked expression but they remained silent not wanting to argue with their master's sister.
Meanwhile, Riser contemplates on Ravel's plan and while it might sound risky and could cost them the battle but if they play their cards right they could win this all in one fell swoop. "Hmmmm….very well Ravel, let us go with your plan." Riser said with an arrogant smile knowing that Ravel would never lead them wrong.
-Location: Karakura Main Street-
"My I'm surprised that Riser hasn't sent out anyone to stop Renji yet," Serafall said
"They're probably strategizing and by the looks of it, they are taking their sweet time. If they don't want him to go any further they better get someone out now." Kisuke said having stop using his fan for the moment.
-Team Gremory's Base-
"They sure love keeping us in suspense," Ichigo said feeling nervous while wondering what's taking them to send out one of their own.
"Something tells me that we don't have to wait that long," Rias said resting her shoulders on the table while her fingers interlocked with each other looking on intently.
-Location: Karakura Main Street-
Renji continues to move forward while remaining vigilant to his surroundings while having Zabimaru in hand as he could see the mayor's office. He would stop every now and again to look around and sense any presence of their foes.
"I'm surprised they haven't sent anyone yet," Renji said quietly as he takes another quick look at his surroundings.
"My guess is that Riser is taking his time selecting their next piece, a good chance he might send out his queen," Rias said keeping her communication with Renji by telepathy magic.
"Yeah, so you want me to keep going?" Renji asked as he stops for a moment.
"For now stay put, we can't have you go too deep behind enemy lines by yourself," Rias said giving the order.
"Alright if you say so," Renji said as he rests Zabimaru on his shoulder.
Suddenly from around the corner, Renji was ambushed by three of Riser's peerage. They are the two maids, one with shoulder-length brown hair, dressed in a sleeveless French maid uniform that exposes her cleavage with a white lace design on the edges, as well as a maid headpiece, half-apron, and forearm length fingerless gloves.
The other girl has shoulder length light brown hair and dark brown eyes, dressed in a buttoned, sleeveless, French maid uniform with a white lace design, along with a standard maid headpiece, cuffs, and a white half-apron to go with the set. She also wears light grey tights. They are Burent and Marion and they are not alone.
With them is one of Riser's knights Siris, a tall young woman with long black hair with a dark blue tint and brown eyes. Her hair features five thin ponytails going around her head, which are held up by a golden hair accessory on top of her head. She sports a white top with black accents, red shorts, and armored, knee-high boots with matching gauntlets. The top features a diamond shape in the chest area, giving a view of her cleavage and carrying with her is her giant Zweihänder sword as she swings it down on Renji.
"Surprise!" The trio said in unison.
"Wow and out of nowhere ambush Riser's pawns and knight," Serafall said with a surprised look on her face as she goes on the play by play.
"It was only a matter of time," Kisuke said as he keeps his calm and watches the new battle unfold.
HERE COMES THE NEW CHALLENGERS!
"Crap!" Renji said barely dodging the ambush using his shupo.
"Hmph...you are quick but your team's winning streak ends here soul reaper!" said Siris pointing her giant zweihänder at Renji with the maids right behind her giving their support. The knight quickly clashes with Renji as her giant zweihänder strikes against Zabimaru.
"Hmph...he doesn't look that tough," Burent said with an arrogant smirk as her hands are covered with flame magic as she begins to create fireballs.
"It's probably dumb luck that he beaten the twins," Marion said as her hands begin to be covered with ice magic while creating a spear of Ice.
"Yeah, keep telling yourselves that crap!" Renji said as he pushes Siris back but quickly backs away as both Burent and Marion were about to sandwich him with their respective ice and fire magic enhanced attacks.
"Roar! Zabimaru!" Renji shouts as he swings his zanpakuto towards the three girls only for them to move out of the way of the blade's path but Renji was quick to redirect Zabimaru using his wrist as the blade goes towards one of the maids only for it to be blocked by Siris' large blade.
Then suddenly the maids once again go on the offensive as they unleash a barrage of ice spears and fireballs at Renji with the soul reaper lieutenant having to avoid their attacks using shupo once again while he pulls away from Siris. The knight gives chase after Renji with both her hands on her zweihänder. Renji backs away more and more from the trio and swings his Zabimaru towards them with both Marion and Burent dodging while Siris blocking using her own sword.
The two maids then team up and throws a barrage of ice and fire magic at Renji forcing him move away while pulling back together his Zabimaru only to be put under pressure by Siris as she swings her large two-handed sword against Renji forcing the soul reaper to parry the strike and swing Zabimaru at her only to be attacked from behind by Burent and Marion in a hit and run tactic.
"Damn!" Renji cursed as he uses his shupo to escape the girls creating some distance momentarily.
"Wow this doesn't look good for Renji, those girls are really keeping him on his toes," Serafall said as she watches the fight.
"Don't get too worried about Renji, Ms. Serafall. There's a reason why he's a lieutenant of squad six." Kisuke said having faith that Renji can pull another win for their team.
-Team Gremory Base-
"Should we go out and help Renji? Three against one isn't exactly fair." Tatsuki said worrying for Renji while the soul reaper is a lieutenant it doesn't mean he could use the help to defeat the three.
Rias quickly give some thought of what Tatsuki said and while she believes in Renji's strength it wouldn't hurt to give him a hand and gain another victory for the team. "Very well, Tatsuki and Koneko go assist Renji."
"Yeah!" "Got it." Tatsuki and Koneko said as they go to the teleportation circle and are transported towards Renji's location.
-Stage Location: Karakura Square Plaza-
While fighting three of Riser's peerage, Renji was pushed towards the square plaza of Karakura and away from the Phenex base. While the crimson-haired soul reaper was holding his own against the three fair enough Siri, Marion and Burent changed tactics and are now constantly on the soul reaper attacking him non-stop as if in a frenzy.
The knight Siri especially as she continues to repeatedly swing her giant zweihänder down, left and right on Renji not giving him a chance to use his Zabimaru to attack only to block and defend and every time he tries to counter-attack the maids would quickly go and swoop in and strikes against him with fireballs and ice spears, as well as throwing some magic-empowered jabs and kicks.
"Arrgh..so damn annoying!" Getting tired of this Renji once again use shupo and escape the barrage of the three girls. As the three chase after him, they were blindsided by the arrival of Koneko and Tatsuki.
"What the?" "Where did they come from?!" Burent and Marion said as Tatsuki and Koneko give the two maids a barrage of punches and kicks.
"Sorry, we're late," Tatsuki said as she and Koneko square off with Marion and Burent for some tag-team action.
"No worries, your timing couldn't be better, I was getting really annoyed with them," Renji said to them as he locks eyes with Siri as she readies her sword.
"So it's just you and me," Siri said wielding her giant Zweihänder with a firm grip pointing at Renji.
"Yeah, looks that way," Renji said as he points his Zabimaru against Siri and without another word the two finally clash one on one.
THIS IS GONNA GET WILD! FIGHT!
Koneko was quick to grab Marion by the arm and judo throws her to the other side of the plaza.
"Wow, nice form," Tatsuki said as she counters Burent's strike she's fighting with a quick jab to the face.
"Thanks," Koneko replied as she goes towards Marion and gives her a collection combo of punches and kicks while the maid could barely block them with her Ice-magic as she constantly makes an ice shield only to be smashed and broken by Koneko's raw power.
"You bitch!" Burent said rubbing the sore spot where Tatsuki hit her.
"Well, what did you expect fighting a karate champion!" Tatsuki said as she dashes towards Burent and begins to pulverize the french maid with spiritual-powered fists while Burent could barely counter with her own fire fists. But the maid quickly creates a large fireball and throws it directly towards Tatsuki almost getting burnt as she moves to the side only to be met with Burent's high kick hitting Tatsuki right in the face.
"That's a cheap trick!" Tatsuki said as she throws a punch at Burent only for the maid to back away dodging her attack with a smirk and throws another fireball at Tatsuki's face making the karate expert to barely dodge out of the way with only a few burn marks on her cheek.
"Maybe it is, but it never fails to work on weaklings like you," Burent said as she keeps throwing fireballs at Tatsuki forcing Tatsuki to keep her distance from the fire maid.
"What you say?" Tatsuki grinding her teeth a little not liking the comment as she begins to charge up with spiritual energy as a small ball of energy begins to form in the palm of her hand.
"You heard me, you and that little white minx may have had the jump on us but we won't go down so easily," Burent said as she powers up while flame-like wings burst from her lower back and her fireballs got bigger as she takes flight above Tatsuki.
"Oh crap," Tatsuki said as she backs away from the burning maid while the ball of spiritual energy slowly gets bigger around the size of a baseball. "Come on! Come on! Get bigger already!"
As Tatsuki desperately tries to keep the spirit ball growing between her hands, Burent begins to toy with her opponent by throwing a shower of fireballs at Tatsuki's feet forcing the karate champion to constantly dodge and jumping away from the fiery strikes.
"Damn it! Quit it!" Tatsuki yells getting pissed off with the fire maid's antics.
"Aww but it's so much fun making you dance like a monkey, not to mention you're just a normal, worthless human with little spiritual energy, but since we have a rating battle to win. I'll reduce you to ash!" Burent said sadistically as she fires a large fireball towards Tatsuki who quickly ducks under the fireball and concentrating her spiritual power on her feet she jumps high going straight to Burent with the baseball-sized spiritual orb in hand.
"Wha-you can fly!?" Burent asked in shock
"Nope, just jump good!" Tatsuki said honing in at the flying maid.
"Please make this work!"
"Try this!" Tatsuki shouts as she fires the spiritual ball directly at between Burent's chest and stomach area and nothing happened.
"Wha…," Tatsuki said completely shocked as she falls to the ground but managed to land safely by rolling to the ground but quickly got on her feet as she looks up.
"Pfft...Hahahahaahahahahaha! What the hell was that!? And here I thought that attack was goin-
KABOOM!
Before Burent could finish her sentence a large explosion went off on her chest and stomach where the spirit ball once was and has sent the maid flying from the plaza and crashing against one of the buildings.
"Wow! What a bang!" Serafall said taken by surprise like the rest.
"Hmmm….I think I know what happened." Kisuke said who unlike the rest kept his composure and was too busy analyzing on what just happened.
"Please elaborate Mr. Urahara! Everyone needs to know, I know I do." Serafall said
"Why it's elementary my dear Serafall, simply put instead of increasing the size of her spiritual ball. Tatsuki was instead compressing it adding more and more spiritual energy inside the orb while holding it within her hands. And once she released it at the unfortunate maid the spiritual energy was finally was able to expand at a rapid rate causing the explosion that we just witnessed." Kisuke explained with Serafall, Sona, and Tsubaki giving a resounding.
"Oh."
All the while Tatsuki just stands there with her mouth ajar never expecting her spirit ball do as much damage as it did. Then from the corner of her eye, she turns and sees Koneko doing quick work with Marion as the white-haired girl slams her fist under the ice maids jaw and sends her flying upward and lets her fall into the plaza fountain landing in the water making a big splash.
FIGHT OVER! Pawns Burent and Marion of Phenex House Retires, Koneko Toujou, and Tatsuki of Gremory House Wins!
"Damn….remind me not to piss you off," Tatsuki said with a chuckle as she walks over to Koneko as the petite girl just shrugs off.
"She may have a magic boost but she's still a pawn," Koneko said plainly as she walks towards Tatsuki meeting halfway as they both look over and see Renji battling Siris and he has the upper hand.
"He's got this handled," Koneko said plainly
"So basically sit and watch till he's done."
"Yup, looks like it."
Renji keeps swing and whipping Zabimaru at Siris as the swordswoman would deflect and parry with her zweihänder and fight back by slamming down her sword against the ground creating a shockwave hoping that would throw Renji off but the lieutenant was quick on his feet and pulls back Zabimaru and once again clashes with Siris.
"I'll give you this, you're very good," Siris said complimenting her opponent.
"Thanks you're not bad yourself," Renji said with a cool smirk as the two keep pushing each other as their blades would create sparks.
Then taking a chance Siris uses her strength and pushes Renji away from the sword lock and she quickly swings down her giant zweihänder ready to finish the soul reaper off but Renji was quick and before the large sword could hit him he takes his chance and takes a swing against Siris as well and at the same time for a split second both have struck each other on their respective shoulders.
While Siris' zweihänder has cut deep to even breaking Renji's shoulder bone by the sheer weight of the sword. Renji's Zabimaru, however, has slashed Siris's other arm to ribbons as blood begins to trickle down as both quickly backing away from each other.
"Ngh...damn it….I'm going to be feeling that for a while," Renji said as he tries to touch his shoulder only to coil as the pain of his wound and broken bone.
"Yes...I can barely move my arm anymore even so much as…..lifting it is a chore." Siris' said as she tries to lift her shredded arm only for it to be barely responding. "But even with that I won't go down so easily even with just one arm I will still fight you!"
Even using strength of her right arm to wield her giant zweihänder she could barely hold it straight as she begins to pat heavily.
Renji can't help but be impressed with this girl, refusing to admit defeat when clearing she can't continue in her condition. While his damaged arm is not doing any better at least Zabimaru is a lighter weapon to wield.
"So...one more go?" Renji asked as he raises Zabimaru high over his head.
"Of course! I'll even use my mutilated arm as a shield if I must! I will do it for Lord Riser!" Siris declared with pride.
"Hmm...so he means that much to ya, huh?" Renji asked as he couldn't help but sympathize with the bloodied knight.
"Yes, Lord Riser gave me, nay he gave all of us a purpose and that purpose is to serve him and the Phenex Family til the bitter end!" Without warning Siri's charges towards Renji using all of her strength to cut down the lieutenant soul reaper.
But Renji simply parries her attack and ultimately deflecting and disarming her in the process and with another swing of his Zabimaru, Renji cuts her down from her damaged shoulder towards her right thigh. With that Siris, the proud knight of Riser Phenex has fallen leaving Renji as the victor.
FIGHT OVER! Knight Siris from House of Phenex, Retired! Renji Abari from House of Gremory Wins!
To Be Continued!
Ending Theme: Broken Youth - NICO Touches the Walls
(A/N: So yeah, I've been gone since October and I've been dead silent during November and halfway to December. Well as I've said before we were still without power and eventually, me and my grandmother decided to go to the states for three weeks visiting our relatives and for once having actual power after almost 3 months without it.
We first we stayed with my older sister for a few days and she had internet in her apartment but the chapters were not done and I was too busy catching up with current events since I've been in the dark for a good while. Next, we crashed in my grandaunt's place for the remainder of the stay. I finally get to see relatives I haven't seen for 2 to 5 years heck some I haven't seen for 10+ years. We did Thanksgiving and other stuff, I spend some time with my cousins, nephews, uncles, aunts and the like. But sadly my Grandaunt's place didn't have internet...well it did just that it was the jetpack thing from Verizon, you know the enemy of Net Neutrality. Thinking it was unlimited data I used it almost the whole day and my aunt told to turn it off because apparently its data was drained.
Well shit! So yeah no internet with the exception of my phone but since most of my work is on the laptop. I couldn't do much. Now I'm back home and finally have power...just no internet, that's just swell. We currently are switching to T-Mobile since Claro our local service currently is having technical issues. So I've been going to Burger Kings and Wendy's just to have a decent connection. Plus for the last few days, I've been burning gas and hitting hard on the writing and on the halfway I decided to make another chapter to make it up to you guys who had to wait as long as you did. Plus think of this as my Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Whatever The Next Holiday is Present from me to you all with love. As well as another present in a One-Shot that is currently in the works.
Sidenote I managed to get Pokemon Ultra Moon aaaaannnd it's basically the original Pokemon Moon with the Rainbow Rocket being basically a DLC mission. Don't have much motivation to play it but I'll tackle it every now and again.
Now to respond to the reviews:
BukkakeNoJutsu: Why thank you. ^^
Guest #1: As of now Ichigo Kurosaki will remain a human/soul reaper and currently have no plans to make him a devil.
Guest #2: Glad that you like the fights so far, It's kind of one of the reasons why the chapters take as long as they do. But don't worry about the Ichigo vs. Riser fight and for now, I can't say anything you just have to wait and see. ;)
S1TH1S: Thank you and now you don't have to wait since there's another new chapter.
Jose19: First off I want to thank Jose19 for his feedback and his knowledge of the DxD world, I'm very thankful that we could talk over PMs about several details of DxD that sadly I didn't know about or just overlooked. Now with what he told, I'm going to have to rework some future arcs as well as the planned ending of The Devil and The Reaper. Yeah, I've been planning that far ahead. Hopefully, we can talk again soon.
Charles: Hopefully what Renji did was epic enough for ya, I was going to have the misunderstanding done a few chapters later but I feel it's better in the last chapter than now. Thanks :)
AJ: Yeah, Hurricane Maria was tough but we pulled through thanks, glad that you enjoyed the chapter. I've seen the trailer for season 4 and at least the animation got a major improvement. Akeno will be with someone but you can already guess. ;)
Bladetri: Glad that you liked it ^^
Daizuke: Gracias y si lo cheqeo cuando tenga el chance. :)
SpudyPotato: Glad that you liked it overall, Yeah I kinda dropped the ball with Renji and probably again here since I'm so used to his Pre-time skip personality. ^^;
Drakon45: Sooon my friend, sooon. Puerto Rico is recovering but we still have a lot to rebuild. :)
xxx6sic6xxx: That's what I'm gunning for and like I said it's kinda why these chapters take as long as they do. Glad that you enjoyed the Issei and Ichigo scene. Don't worry PR is more or less back to normal still need to fix a lot of stuff. :)
SilentXD7: Thanks but as I said in the past several times Ichigo does not have Quincie powers since Thousand Year Blood War arc won't happen. There are parings but don't worry it won't be any too common here. :)
Well with that done I want to say thanks to everyone that showed love by reviewing and faving and following my story it means a lot to me as I said in the past. But now let's jump to the next chapter. Later ;) )
(The Devil and The Reaper is written and edited by AlphaEspada. Please support the official release of both series used in this crossover.)
