-EARTH 1612-
Familiar Forest
In a dark and creepy forest with numerous dead-like trees around while the sky is darkish-red, the AWA gang and the ORC are transported into this area via a magical circle.
Kenji Kazama looks around, "What the hell is this dump?'' he asked indecorously.
"The forest where the familiars are created.'' Akeno Himejima replied with a smile.
"We got our familiars here as well." Yuuto Kiba added with Koneko Toujou nodding in agreement.
Chizuru Tachibana then spoke, "Huh? Way different on how those losers from Tristain get their familiars.'' he commented.
Asia Argento then stood close to Issei Hyoudou, "This place does look creepy... like something's gonna lash at me.'' Issei commented.
"Y-Yes." Asia said in agreement.
Ochako Uraraka chuckled nervously, "I hope that it doesn't come to that.'' she said.
"Gotta catch'em all!" a voice cheered which surprises everyone.
"W-Who's there?!" Issei demanded.
Everyone then looks up to see a middle-aged man standing on a tree branch. The man has a lanky appearance, has a neck-length red hair tied in a low ponytail and has brown eyes. He wears a white top, black short with a green sweater wrapped around his waist, white socks, brown sneakers, black fingerless gloves, a dark-blue cap and carries a yellow bagpack. This is Zatouji.
Zatouji then jabbed a thumb at himself, "I'm the Familiar Master, Zatouji!" he introduced himself rather proudly.
"Familiar..." Issei muttered.
"... Master?'' Asia finished.
"Looks like man with a mind of child." Kenji commented with an annoyed look.
"It's a nice full moon today." Zatouji commented with a grin, "The best day to catch some familiars.'' he exclaimed, "I can catch any familiars!" he claimed with some sort of weird hand gesture.
Akeno then spoke, "He's a professional when it comes to catching them.'' she explained to Issei.
"I see.'' Issei muttered in reply.
"I hope that he's not all talk." Izumo Kamiki said with her arms crossed.
Zatouji then waves his hand, "Now, what are you looking for in a familiar?'' he asked, "Strength? Speed? Or maybe something with poison ability?'' he suggested.
Issei then sported a lewd grin, "Actually, do you have a cute familiar?'' he asked, "One that looks like a girl.'' he described.
Zatouji then waves a finger, "Tsk! Tsk! You newbies can't do it right.'' he commented, "You should at least desire for a familiar that is strong and useful.'' he advised, "That is to say, you must know their abilities and choose one that complements your own!" he explained.
"He has a point." Izuku Midoriya pointed out in agreement.
Asia then spoke, "Um, I want a cute familiar as well.'' she admitted with a hopeful look.
Zatouji smiles at her, "Oh, sure thing, baby!" he complied.
"Thank you very much!" Asia said in gratitude.
Issei glares at the man, "You...'' he muttered in annoyance.
Kenji then spoke, "Unlike you though, Asia wanting a cute familiar is totally justifiable.'' he pointed out.
Rias Gremory giggled, "Well then... let's get going.'' she beckoned.
Later on, Zatouji guides them throughout the Familiar Forest, discovering an Undine along the way. Issei's expectations of having an Undine as a familiar, due to his assumption of them being beautiful water spirits, are crushed mercilessly when he sees that the real Undines are burly old muscular women wearing pink togas, causing the entourage to continue their quest for familiars
Later on, after encountering a baby Sprite Dragon, Issei originally wanted to capture it as his familiar but later changes his opinion when a slime appears and dissolves the clothes of all the girls present. Issei, impressed by the slime's capabilities and its dauntless potential for perverseness, then decides that he would have it as his familiar instead of the Sprite Dragon.
This however ends in failure, as Rias and the others, disgusted by the slime's lecherous nature, exterminate it much to Issei's woe. As Issei desperately tries to protect the last of the slime on Asia, the baby Sprite Dragon attacks him and destroys off all the remaining slime by electrocuting it. The Familiar Master, then reveals that the baby Sprite Dragon has taken a liking to Asia, who then proceeds to make the baby Sprite Dragon her familiar and names it, Rassei.
"Why named him, Rassei?'' Ochako asked.
"I named him that since he shoots lightning.'' Asia answered, "I took part of it from Issei-san's name as well.'' she added with a blush on her cheeks.
Issei rubs the back of his head, "Well, it's good.'' he chuckled, "Nice to meet you, Rassei.'' he greeted as he tries to pet the dragon when it suddenly shots out lightning at him, "AAAAAAAHHH!" he screamed in pain.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you." Zatouji spoke, "Male dragons hates males of other species.'' he reminded.
"Really? Then remind me to stay far away from them." Kenji commented with a blank look.
"Rassei, you're a mischievous child." Rias Gremory commented with a smile.
Issei kneels down the ground crying, "Why did you die, my friend, Slatarou?!" he exclaimed, "Grant me that wondrous power!" he cried out loud.
"Death to perverts.'' Koneko declared.
"It's just a stupid slime, Issei, get over it!" Kenji exclaimed in annoyance.
Rias chuckled, "I think it's about time that we head back.'' she suggested.
Suddenly, they heard a loud noise from a far, "What was that?'' Nejire Hadou asked.
Zatouji narrowed his eyes, "It must be those things again!" he said.
"What do you mean, Zatouji-san?'' Rias asked.
"From the past few days, I've been seeing a lot of strange creatures that are not from this forest.'' Zatouji replied, "I don't know where they came from but they've doing nothing but damaging some parts of this forest.'' he explained.
Chizuru and Kenji then looks at each other, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?'' the former asked.
Kenji then pulls out a radar-device and his eyes narrowed in annoyance, "Great... from the looks of it... some of the Apostles' pets are in this forest.'' he grumbled.
Suddenly, they heard an annoying and angry scream from the distance as Zatouji let's out a gasp, "Oh no! Those girls!" he exclaimed before running off with the others following suit.
"Zatouji-san?'' Rias called out, "Are there other people here?'' she asked.
Zatouji nodded, "Two girls suddenly appeared in this forest weeks ago but it's just days ago when I found them and have been staying with me ever since.'' he explained, "They claimed that they came through some sort portal after escaping some sort of illegal casino.'' he added.
"Portal?'' Ochako repeated.
"Illegal casino?'' Nejire added.
"Could it be those girls with Zatouji-san are the ones we've been looking for?" Izuku deducted.
"We're about to find out.'' Izumo replied.
The AWA gang, the ORC and Zatouji then arrives at an open area in the forest and were greeted by the sights of large number of contaminoids and dinosaurs, they also took notice of Arina Makihara and Cassandra Murata taking on some of them.
"Contaminoids!" Izumo exclaimed.
"Are those freakin' dinosaurs?'' Issei asked in disbelief.
Chizuru then takes a good look at Arina and Cassandra, "Looks like we found the ones that escaped from that casino.'' he commented with a grin.
Kenji transforms his briefcase into a machine gun, "All right, team." he spoke, "Let's burn them down!" he barked.
And with that, the AWA gang, the ORC and Zatouji charges towards the unwanted guests from another world.
Get Ready For Battle! No Escape!
BEGIN!
(Play Brock Lesnar Theme - The Next Big Thing by Jim Johnston)
The first to attack is Zatouji whom tackles down one dinosaur and began to punch it several times on the head before grabbing it's eyes and rips it off, he then grabs it's tail and with all his might, he threw the dinosaur towards it's companions, knocking them all down to the ground.
Koneko then charges forward and kicks one dinosaur on the face before following with a back-flip kick, knocking the reptile down to the ground while Issei transforms his hand into an armored Dragon Arm called a Boosted Gear before firing a beam of energy towards a group of contaminoids, incinerating them.
Meanwhile, Yuuto then brought out his swords and quickly stabs on contaminoid on the head before quickly pulling just in time to slice the neck of an oncoming dinosaur while Asia calls out for Rassei whom responded by shooting out lightning strikes towards a group of dinosaurs, roasting them on the process.
As this is going on, Akeno outstretched her hand towards a group of contaminoids, "Holy Lightning!" she shouted as a high density holy lightning strikes down on the creatures, blasting them to bits while Rias unleashes a powerful demonic energy towards a group of dinosaurs, disintegrating them upon taking the hit.
Chizuru then charges forward swinging and bashing the equalizer from left to right. He swung his weapon at one dinosaur and bashed it's head so hard that it exploded, then two more dinosaurs made this towards him and the blonde responded by hitting one of them with the chair and kicking one down to the ground, Chizuru then threw the chair like a boomerang as it's spins around, hitting and slicing every dinosaurs on it's path before coming back to the blonde's hands.
Chizuru then noticed Izuku charging towards a group of contaminoids. Smiling, the blonde pulls out a small, sphere-shaped bomb from his pocket, "DEKU!" he called out, getting the green-haired boy's attention as the blonde threw the bomb towards him.
Catching on with the blonde's attention, Izuku concentrates a Full Cowl's effects in his legs while charging up with power, "One For All: Full Cowl..." he muttered, "... Shoot Style!" he shouted before kicking the bomb with all his might, creating a massive shock wave while sending it towards the group of contaminoids, blowing them all to bits.
"Mike! Uke!" Izumo called out as she summons two chibi-like foxes, "Take them down!" she ordered. The summoned beings complied before charging forward a group of contaminoids at very high speeds, biting and mauling every creatures on their paths.
Meanwhile, Ochako levitates a large quantity of rubble surrounding her by pressing her fingers together, "Meteor Shower!" she bellowed as the rubble rains down on a group of dinosaurs, taking them all down one by one.
Meanwhile, a group of contaminoids made their way towards Nejire as she smiled, "Here I go!" she quipped before putting her hands in front of her, "Gring Wave!" she shouted before unleashing a powerful wave, blasting the creatures away to oblivion.
Kenji then fires another torpedo towards a group of dinosaurs, blasting them to bits. He then transforms his machine gun turret into some sort of water-hose cannon before blowing out oil towards his targets, covering them on the process before transforming his weapon into a flamethrower and with a click, Kenji unleashes a powerful surge of flames towards his targets, incinerating them to ash.
BREAK OUT!
After the battle, the AWA gang, the ORC and Zatouji approaches Arina and Cassandra in the midst of the open area.
"Are you girls okay?'' Zatouji asked in concern.
Arina breathes out a sigh in relief, "We're fine.'' she replied, "Just a bit shock since those things just literally came out of nowhere.'' he said, "We don't know how long Cassandra and I would last fighting them if you guys didn't come along.'' she stated, "Thanks by the way.'' she said in gratitude.
"It's no problem." Rias reassured.
"Zatouji-san?'' Cassandra called out, "Who are these people?'' she asked.
"These people came here today to get themselves some familiars." Zatouji replied, "And seems some of them knows you two.'' he pointed out.
Chizuru then steps forward, "You two must be Arina Makihara and Cassandra Murata, the two persons that escaped from that illegal casino.'' he stated.
This surprises both Arina and Cassandra, the two girls took a step back and got into a fighting stance, "How do you now our names?'' the former demanded, "Are you here to take us back in that damn casino?!" she accused.
Chizuru raised an eyebrow, "Uh... the casino you're talking about is long gone.'' he said, "Our organization took them down.'' he added, "Off-screen.'' he whispered towards the audience.
"Been a while since we've done that." Izuku mused.
Arina then calms down, "How can we be sure?'' she asked suspiciously.
"The two friends that you accidentally left behind, Brick McArthur and Iroha - I believe are their names, told us about everything before the two of you managed to escape.'' Chizuru explained.
"Brick and Iroha? Are they okay?'' Cassandra asked in concern.
"They're doing fine." Kenji replied, "They're currently back at our home base recovering from fatigue after the hard labor they we're put through.'' he explained, "They're currently joined our organization to help rescue the other purchased slaves from the Slave Fortress.'' he added.
"I see... that's good.'' Cassandra muttered in relief.
"So... what are we gonna do now?'' Arina asked.
"We should head back to the clubhouse before we doing anything else." Izuku suggested.
Rias nodded, "I agree.'' she said in agreement.
After saying goodbye to Zatouji, the AWA gang, the ORC alongside Arina and Cassandra disappears through a magic circle taking them back to Kuoh.
-BREAK-
Kuoh Town, Japan
The next day at Kuoh Academy, we see everyone gathered inside the clubhouse in the main room with everyone watching Asia cuddling Rassei in her arms.
"It is said that Sprite Dragons only open to ones with a pure heart." Rias shared, "It wouldn't normally follow a demon.'' she said.
Akeno giggled, "It could be because Asia-chan used to be a nun." she guessed.
"From the short time that I get to know her, Asia will always be a pure no matter what she is.'' Kenji commented with a smile.
Issei then noticed Rassei rubbing it's head on Asia's chest, "Rassei, you bastard! What the hell are you doing to Asia?!" he demanded as the little critter responded by shocking him, leaving him roasted down to the floor.
"Idiot... you totally forgot that male Sprite Dragons hates males of other species." Izumo reminded.
"Jeez, Rassei-kun, don't harm others." Asia scolded as Koneko stares at Issei while eating some sweets, "See you, Rassei-kun.'' she said as the Sprite Dragon went back to the familiar forest.
Issei then got back up from the floor, "I became a demon before her, but she's more like of a real demon to me.'' he stated, "It's so depressing.'' he admitted.
"It's because you're a moron." Kenji commented which made Issei flinched a bit.
"You don't have to say it that way." Issei whined.
Meanwhile, we see Chizuru, Izuku and Ochako having a conversation to Arina and Cassandra at the other side of the room.
"We've contacted a staff member a minute ago and they'll be sending an escort to take you girls to Normal Earth." Chizuru explained.
"After that, it's up for the two of you to decide what you wanna do next." Izuku added, "Whether you wanna join AWA or you wanna head back home.'' he stated.
"Actually... Cassandra and I talked about it and we decided to join the AWA.'' Arina declared with a smile.
"R-Really?'' Ochako asked in surprise.
Arina nodded, "Since Brick and Iroha joined the AWA, we decided to join in as well since we have other friends that were purchased before us.'' she explained, "We want to save them as well.'' she declared with Cassandra nodding in agreement.
"Well then... welcome aboard." Chizuru said with a smile.
Suddenly, a blue portal appears on the wall, much to the locals and Arina & Cassandra's surprise, "Looks like you escort has arrived." Nejire mused.
Ibiki Morino then steps out of the portal, "Greetings, my name is Ibiki Morino.'' he introduced himself but his appearance intimidated Asia and Issei, "And I'm here to escort these girls to Normal Earth.'' he declared.
"WE'VE ASKED FOR AN ESCORT NOT AN INTERROGATOR!" Kenji exclaimed in disbelief.
"I'm the only one of the two available persons at the moment." Ibiki explained.
"What?! There are a hundred staff members and only two are available?!" Kenji questioned in disbelief.
"Either it's me or have that silver-haired, lazy ass samurai that you call a teacher." Ibiki replied.
"He has a point." Izuku pointed out.
Ibiki then turns to Arina and Cassandra, "Come along, your friends are waiting for you.'' he beckoned.
"Uh... okay?'' Arina complied, "Bye, guys." she said with a wave of hand.
And with that, Ibiki along with Arina and Cassandra exits through the portal which then vanished in an instant as Issei spoke.
"Men... that guy is scary." Issei commented.
"You have no idea." Izumo muttered in agreement.
Yuuto then spoke, "I think it's about time that we head home.'' he announced.
"I agree." Kenji said in agreement, "I wanna relax after a day of fighting.'' he stated.
And with that, everyone were about to head towards the door and when it suddenly opens as Souna Sitri, Tsubaki Shinra, Genshirou Saji, Momo Hanakai, Reya Kusaka, Ruruko Nimura, Tomoe Meguri and Tsubasa Yura enters the room.
"Rias-san." Souna called out.
Chizuru facefaulted, "Oh, what are these jabronies want now?'' he asked in annoyance.
"Souna-san, what's wrong?'' Rias asked in surprise.
Souna then got in front of Rias, "How come you never told me that the freelance students are from another dimension?!" she asked.
This taken everyone aback, "What?! How did you know that?!" Chizuru exclaimed in shock.
Kiyomasa Senji then peeks half of his body behind the door, "There's a proper explanation for that.'' he said.
"Senji-san?'' Ochako questioned.
"You told them!" Kenji accused.
Kiyomasa enters the room, "Wasn't my intention but it just happened.'' he admitted.
"What actually happen?'' Yuuto asked.
Kiyomasa then crosses his arms, "Well... while you guys were in that familiar forest, I was patrolling town when I came across these guys fighting hordes of Train to Busan-like zombies, so I decided to aid them.'' he explained.
"The Apostles is definitely running out of minions to send in their invasions." Chizuru dryly commented.
"Though I had to admit that in nearly overwhelms us if it weren't the timely arrival of some back-ups." Kiyomasa admitted.
"Back-ups?'' Ochako asked.
"He's talking about us." a voice spoke.
Everyone then turns to see three persons entering the room, two girls and Rock Lee. Lee is currently wearing a black open jacket over a white collared buttoned shirt with a red necktie, black sacks, white socks, black leather shoes and a black Fedora hat.
The first girl has a short-length vibrant pink hair and sky blue eyes. She wears a white & blue sports jacket, pink miniskirt, white & pink thigh-high socks and blue & white rubber shoes. This is Kimial "Kim" Diehl.
The second girl has a long, brown hair tied in a bun with twintails over her shoulder, and brown eyes. She wears a white blouse underneath a dark gray dress coat with a magenta ribbon tie held by a skull-shaped choker, dark gray miniskirt, black high socks and brown shoes. This is Jacqueline O' Lantern Dupre, Kim's partner.
"Eh? Kim-san! Jacqueline-san! Lee-san!" Ochako called out, "What are you guys doing here?'' she asked.
"And why the fuck is bushy eyebrows dressed like Michael Jackson?!" Kenji demanded in disbelief.
"The higher-ups sends us as back-ups after you all reported that the Apostles are here." Jacqueline answered.
Kim giggled rather mischievously, "Our help isn't free though.'' she claimed, "I'll be charging you guys after this.'' she said with a grin.
"And as for me dressing up like Michael Jackson..." Lee spoke, "I have no idea.'' he admitted.
Kenji facepalmed, "Great! More headaches.'' he grumbled in annoyance.
"And after defeating the zombies, the student council confronted us and I explained things to them including the fact that Miss Gremory knows who we are.'' Kiyomasa finished, "Sorry about that.'' he apologized.
"It's fine." Rias reassured.
"But why didn't you tell us about them, Rias?'' Souna asked.
"I'm sorry, Souna-san..." Rias apologized, "But you have to understand... our friends came here for a secret mission and they cannot let everyone know who they are.'' she explained, "It just happened that my peerage and I encountered some invaders forcing to reveal themselves.'' she stated, "After telling us everything, we decided to keep things as a secret and we intend to do that.'' she declared, "Until now that is...'' she said.
Souna sighed, "I understand.'' she replied, "But could you at least explain some things to us because that guy didn't tell us much.'' she pointed out.
Kiyomasa shrugged his shoulder, "I told them that our leader can explain things a lot better than I am.'' he admitted.
Chizuru facefaulted, "You guys sure loves to dump every responsibilities to me.'' she muttered with a sigh, "All right... listen here and listen well because I'm not gonna repeat everything that I'm gonna say.'' he said when he noticed that the locals are looking at him weird, "What?'' he asked.
"Y-You're the leader of this team?'' Rias asked, "But I thought it was Kazama-san?'' she asked while pointing a finger at the orange-haired architect.
Kenji sighed, "I can't blame you for thinking that...'' he said, "But it's true... the blonde here is the leader of this team.'' he confirmed.
"And the future leader of the AWA!" Nejire chimed in.
This taken every locals aback, "EEEEEEEEEEEEEHHH!" they exclaimed in shock.
Chizuru facefaulted once more, "Oh fuck...'' he cursed in annoyance.
And that's it for this chapter! I hope you all enjoy it and I hope you at least like the new additions to the story. And for those wondering, yes, Zatouji will return since I like his characters.
These are the characters that debuted in this chapter:
Zatouji from High School DxD
