Hey! UknownHero here and welcome to another chapter of A Simple Mission Rebirth! I am glad to see this fic has not as many negative reviews due to the fact that I killed Team RWBY but please remember that it is important to the plot and overall character development of the RWBYs. Anyway, thanks for all the support from you guys so far, let's hope I don't end up deleting this story as well and let's get started! Also, need to fix mistakes. Also, I should quickly say I'm not going to use honorifics because I am way too lazy and I fear I'll mess it up somehow, but Japanese will still be used in this fic thanks to Google Translate. Plus, I'm still going off the manga and there's probably going to be honorifics in there so only in added scenes I won't use them. Okay, enough with me talking, let's do this!
Load Game… Start!
Chapter 4: A Simple Explanation
There were a lot of things Ruby noticed as she slowly woke up after what seemed to be the weirdest yet most realistic dream she's ever experienced. Not a pleasant one, mind you, just really, really weird. Anyway, as she started taking note of her surroundings, her expression started to shift from confusion to outright horrified.
One, there was a girl threatening her to get up or else she'd kill her. Two, it wasn't the apartment. Three, she didn't recognize the room at all and swore she saw porn magazines on the floor. Four, she was naked. Five, her teammates were naked and still asleep. Six, They were all on one bed that Ruby had no idea how it would fit all of them, let alone support their combined weight. Seven, Rias Gremory was on top of all of them, naked and asleep as well and hugging them (or at least trying to). And finally, she was on top of someone and she didn't want to know what was dangerously close to her sacred place.
There were only two things Ruby thought about as she tried to scream, but nothing came out.
'Why does everything happen to us? And why does God hate us?'
After wincing in pain, snapped Ruby out of her trance and started using her head. Well, she would've if the person underneath her didn't wake up and shifted around. She didn't know why in the Hell she did it, but she twisted her body around to see who it was.
And only saw Issei, whose face was dangerously close to her's.
This was the first of the many moment Ruby wished she turned down the mission. Or died again. Whatever worked for her at the moment.
Then her face was covered in nose blood.
And, much to the luck of the pervert underneath her, fate had decided it was time for Yang wake up.
(20 seconds later!)
"PERVERT! PERVERT! PERVERT! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!" Yang shouted as she tried to destroy Issei's chance of having children while Rias tried to stop her and the rest of them tried to find their clothes and cover themselves up,
"I REGRET NOTHING!" Issei shouted out. If he died right now, at least he had a harem around him when he did,
"THEN DIE YOU STUPID PERVERT!"
"Please let this be a dream, please let this be a dream…" Weiss chanted to herself as she managed to find her school uniform, which looked like it had been repaired in the stomach area, as well as Blake's,
"If this is a dream, we should all see therapists." Blake replied as she tried to pull out the whiskers on her face, but to no avail. Then she looked at Ruby, who was still on the bed, frozen on the spot. By now, she was sure Ruby had enough mental scars to challenge even the most battle-weary of Huntsman or Huntress. That is, if they ever went back to Remnant. Which they desperately wanted to.
Especially when Issei's mother walked in.
"Issei, are you up?" She asked as she opened the door, "When did you-" She quickly stopped her sentence when she saw Issei being straddled by two beautiful girls, another one frozen and covered in blood and another two watching. All of them having horrified expressions on their faces (except Rias),
"Good morning." Rias greeted happily,
"…Hurry up and get ready." She said tonelessly as she slowly closed the door,
"…Someone kill me." Ruby said after a moment of silence. Then they started hearing Issei's parents… "talking" about what she had just seen,
"Really, your family is so energetic in the morning." Rias told the local pervert as she pushed Yang off of him,
"Gah! PUT SOME CLOTHES ON ALREADY!" Weiss shouted at the red head, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW INDECENT THAT IS!? ESPECIALLY AROUND PEOPLE LIKE HIM!" Weiss yelled out as she pointed at Issei,
"Uh, guh, y-yeah senpai. Your breasts are in full view after all." Issei stated before looking at the two other naked people, "You two as well." He said as he tried to block another nose bleed. This got the two sister's to come out of their trance and quickly tried to find their clothes,
"Then just see them to your heart's content." Rias answered seductively, causing Weiss' jaw to drop and Issei's nose to spurt more blood. Blake was sure he would've been dead at this point,
"How are your injuries?" Rias asked as she pulled on her panties and Issei put on some boxers, "You guys got pretty beat up back there." This caused everyone to remember what had happened last night,
"Yeah…" Yang muttered as she rubbed her head, "Everyone got hit with that glowing spear thing and I got knocked out."
"Okay, I don't remember you getting knocked out but I definitely remember that stupid guy with black wings." Ruby said as she rubbed her stomach, "But… wasn't that a dream?" Ruby asked as she looked at Issei, who also wonder whenever or not it was a dream,
"Well, I'm tell you now, it wasn't a dream." Rias answered as she put on her shirt. Everyone's eyes widened as they checked their bodies. To their surprise, there wasn't even a scar left behind. Hell, all their scars were gone. Weiss couldn't help but touch where her scar used to be,
"T-There isn't even a scar left!" Issei exclaimed,
"You can all thank me for that!" Rias said as she sat on the bed. By now, everyone was now dressed to some extent, "You're all surprisingly robust considering you all sustained critical injuries. Even Yang over there didn't need as much help. She healed mostly on her own."
"Wait, we all got seriously injured. How did we…?" Blake asked,
"Oh, I gave all of you some of my power." Rias answered simply,
"By…" Yang said,
"By embracing you all. In. The. Nude." Rias finished with seductive overtones as she showed a little bit of her cleavage,
"Oh." They all said, before realizing what she just said, "WHAT!?"
"WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DO THAT!?" Yang yelled out, demanding answers,
"Well, it's simple." Rias said as she smiled at all of them, "My name is Rias Gremory. And I am a Devil."
It was then and there where the RWBYs realized that this mission got a whole lot more complicated.
"I'm also your master by the way, so please take care of me." And that's the point where they all realized how screwed they were. Gears started turning in their heads as they processed the fact they were in the presence of a Devil. And that they all thought they were her servants.
This was going to be a very long mission.
(6 minutes later)
"Well, your parents were certainly… interesting." Blake said while in her human form as they all walked to school together. What Blake meant by interesting, she meant the fact that Issei's father and mother were crying at the fact that their useless perverted son actually achieved something his short life, let alone actually have a chance of continuing the Hyoudou legacy. And Weiss thought she had serious daddy issues, at least her dad had expectations for her! They felt too guilty to admit that there was nothing going on so they decided to keep quiet and let Issei's parents have this moment of happiness,
"Yeah, they're a little… yeah." Issei replied as he scratched the back of his head,
"I refuse to believe that you're a Devil, let alone you being my master." Weiss said as she glared at Rias, "I have you know I have connections very powerful people from where I come from and at the flick of my wrist I can have you disappear without a trace."
"And can those connections believe a school girl is a Devil that healed all of you and that you are now my servant? In fact, can your connections even get here?" Rias asked a smug look on her face, causing Weiss to glare at her more, "Anyway, you're mistaken. I'm-"
"I'm back!" Ruby shouted out as she caught up with everyone, their weapons in her hands,
"Ruby… why did you grab our weapons?" Yang asked,
"Look, I lived longer because I had Crescent Rose with me and I almost died again because I didn't bring Crescent Rose with me so like fucking Hell I'm leaving my baby at home again!" Ruby said as she threw everyone's weapons at them, allowing her to cuddle her Scy-ifle, "I'm never leaving you home ever again." She sighed,
"Ruby, language!" Weiss said sternly as she proceeded to lecture her on the use of swear words and why they shouldn't bring weapons into a civilian school, not noticing or caring that Ruby wasn't even listening. Rias couldn't help but giggle at the sight as she signaled Akeno to subtly cast a spell that would make their weapons invisible to human eyes. She had got Akeno to watch the RWBYs just in case more interesting things happened to them. After all, she wanted to know why someone would willingly give their status as a King to a human, let alone why choose Ruby out of all people. She needed more information and it was high time she got it,
"Oh, we're here." Rias said, getting everyone to stop talking, "I'll see you all later then, okay? I'll come for all of you later today, alright?"
"Yes ma'am!" Issei said as he saluted, while the RWBYs just muttered what vaguely was a 'yes',
"This is going to a little tough." Rias muttered to herself as she walked away. Issei had taken being her servant into his stride, though she knew it was because of his perversion and the fact that she saved his life, but mostly because he was a pervert. The RWBYs, on the other hand, looked like have taken it well. She even suspected that they didn't exactly believe her, like it was some sort of prank. Though she knew it was a likely scenario, it wasn't something she wanted to happen. She needed their trust or else she was doomed for a life of misery,
"Looks like they're off the market, huh?" Souna Shitori, real name Sona Sitri, said, "So, they're all Devils?"
"Since the day before."
"And they're all a part of your peerage, I presume?"
"No." That surprised her,
"But they died, didn't they?"
"Yes."
"And you revived them?"
"Look," Rias said as she stopped walking and looked at her fellow King in the eye, "It's complicated and I'll explain later but right now I need some time to think." She looked at her friend for a couple of seconds before nodding, "Thank you." And with that, the bell rang and it was time to start another school day.
(Some time later…)
"Have I mentioned how much I hate school?" Yang groaned, the RWBYs' faces on their desks,
"Yes, 13 times today in fact." Blake said as she rubbed her eyes. It had been a long a stressful day. First of all were the rumours that Issei now had a harem, and they were a part of it. Though, Yang had enough energy to threaten castration and dismemberment to quickly get rid of that rumour for good. They also found out that they managed to earn themselves a reputation around Kuoh. "The Gems of the Academy" they were called. By that point, they didn't care and just about their day. When Blake brought up again that they didn't bring their Translators however, they just listed it up as one of the weird changes to their bodies as well as why no one noticed their weapons, although they noticed more than a few people shifting away from Ruby when she was cuddling Crescent Rose during class. But they knew they had to ask Rias for answers to those, considering that she was their master apparently. They still didn't trust her, not by a long shot, but right now she was the source of all their questions and answers.
Who was Rias Gremory and simply why them?
"After this, I'm asking Professor Ozpin to give us a vacation." Ruby said as her teammates nodded their heads,
"If we do, we're going to my family beach house in Vacuo." Weiss muttered as they all lifted their heads up,
"I've never been to Vacuo, how is it?" Yang asked, only for their conversation to be cut short,
"Hello, I'm looking for Issei Hyoudou, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long. Has anyone seen them?" Kiba Yuuto, also know as the beloved of the entire female student and the common enemy of the entire male student body, asked,
"Yep, that would be us." Yang spoke up as the RWBYs got out of their seat,
"Well, if it isn't the handsome prince…" Issei said tonelessly, "What do you need us for?"
"It was Rias-senpai who asked me to find you all." Kiba answered with a smile. The RWBYs had to admit, that smile was something sent from God himself,
"Ow." The RWBYs winced as they grabbed their heads. Kiba noticed this and raised an eyebrow,
"Well then… see ya guys later." Issei said with a smug look on his face as he and the RWBYs followed him, ignoring the curses and shouts from Issei's friends, "Man, how much longer do we have to walk?" Issei muttered, trying ignore the comments about how great Kiba is and how unbelievably pathetic he was next to him,
"Yeah, where are we going anyway?" Ruby asked, still uncomfortable with her new body and they fact that she was getting stared at,
"Don't worry, we're almost there." Kiba answered as he flashed a smile at her, causing Ruby to calm down a bit and Issei to try and burn his head off with only his eyes. Soon, they had arrived at an old school building. They wondered for a second why come to the place before they followed Kiba in, "We're here." Kiba then knocked on the door, "Buchou, they're here!"
"Hm?" The girls and Issei looked up and saw a sign above the door,
'Occult Research Club?' They all thought before the RWBYs sweatdropped,
'A Devil in charge of a club about studying devils. That makes sense.' The RWBYs thought as they remembered that Rias was the club president,
"Come in." A voice from inside told them. Kiba opened the door to reveal the clubroom. It was what they expected. Books on occult stuff and some other junk they didn't necessarily understood they were there, but the most peculiar thing they saw was the symbol drawn in the middle of the clubroom,
"Well, aren't you coming?" Issei asked as the RWBYs stayed outside,
"Um, yeah, you go ahead. They probably need a virgin sacrifice before we can do anything." Weiss half-joked, half-stated,
"Yeah, probably…" Issei muttered before realizing what Weiss just said, "Hey!"
"Come on guys. Let's just go in." Ruby said as they walked in and looked around the room. That's when they noticed a small girl eating sweets on the couch. Team RWBY and Issei couldn't help but stare at her. She just looked so goddamn cute,
"Um, who's she?" Ruby asked the pervert, as none of her teammate has seen her yet,
"That's First Year Koneko Toujou, the school mascot." Issei answered. The RWBYs instantly recognized the name and title from their investigation but have never seen her before as Blake couldn't find her, "She's supposed to be tremendously apathetic-what happened to her!?"
"What?" The girls asked as they looked at Koneko, only to see she had an icepack taped to her head. From the looks of it, she must've cracked her skull on something very, very hard. At that moment, Koneko had noticed that she wasn't alone anymore and looked at them,
"These are the people Buchou was talking about." Kiba introduced,
"Hi, I'm Yang! Nice to meet you!" Yang introduced herself. Koneko looked at Yang and Yang swore she saw her glare before going back to her food,
"Thick-Head." She whispered before popping a sweet in her mouth,
"Well, this is familiar." Yang muttered, remembering back before the Initiation where she met Blake. She swore they could be cousins, "What did I do to her?" She turned to her teammates but they all shrugged,
"Wait a minute," Issei spoke up with a surprised look on his face, "Did-Did she just call you a dic-"
"Wait, there's a shower here?" Blake asked as everyone noticed the distinct sound of a shower running. They looked around and saw that there was one behind them, "Why is there a shower in the school? And why would they shower here?" When she asked that, the shower turned off,
"For you Buchou." A voice from behind the curtain said as she handed Rias a towel,
"Thank you Akeno." Rias replied as she grabbed the towel,
"Wait, there was someone else behind the curtain?" Weiss asked rhetorically. While this seemed similar to how she was treated back home, her servants would wait outside of the bathroom, not outside the shower door. If they were, she would fire their asses before she called security, "Don't you think that would cause… problems?" Weiss said as she looked at Issei, who was drooling,
"What an odious face…" Koneko said, before looking away when they all looked at her,
"Sorry for the wait." Rias apologized as she pushed the curtain away, "I stayed over at Issei's place yesterday, so I didn't get a chance to bathe, you know?"
"So first you make us sleep in the nude without our permission, tell us something we have trouble believing and now you're taking a shower in the school with someone waiting outside." Blake deadpanned, "I'm sorry if I offend you but you aren't exactly making the best first impression, Rias."
"Oh, so you're the Nekomata Buchou was talking about." Akeno said as she walked up to her,
"Wait, Neko-what?" Blake asked as suddenly her cat features appeared, "Oh no, not again, nya!" Suddenly she clamped her hand over her mouth as Koneko dropped her sweets in shock and Issei's nose spurted out even more blood and collapsed on the floor,
"W-What?" Yang said as she tried not to laugh as Blake mentally panicked,
'No, no, no! I thought I grew out of that!' Blake thought. She used to have a verbal tic when she was young but when she joined the White Fang, she forced herself to stop saying that, especially in front of Adam, "Don't you dare laugh, Xiao Long, nya!" She growled only to clamp her mouth shut again, causing Yang to try harder not to laugh,
"Don't worry, we're not here to judge you." Ruby comforted the catgirl, even though she found it funny as well,
"Thank you Ruby, nya." Blake said with a smile, only for the mood to be ruined when Yang couldn't hold it in anymore and started rolling on the floor laughing,
"Don't worry about her; she just has the mind of a 6 year old." Weiss said as she shook her head at Yang. At least she had enough control to laugh at Blake in her mind, "Anyway, Akeno, I presume?" Weiss said as she turned to one the Great Ladies of Kuoh,
"Heard of me before, have we? Well, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Akeno Himejima, pleased to meet you all." Akeno said as she bowed as she smiled with a small blush, "Please take care of me."
"Ah, I should be the one saying that!" Issei said as he quickly got off the floor, "Please take care of me!"
"And you must be Issei Hyoudou. Nice to meet you."
"Now then, everyone is here." Rias said as Yang recovered from her laughing fit. Everyone went and took a seat while Akeno gave the new people tea,
"This is nice. Thank you." Ruby complimented as Akeno gave her a smile in response,
"Issei, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, welcome to the Occult Research Club." Rias said, choosing to stand,
"Um, you can call us Team RWBY if you want to reference me and my friends, thanks." Ruby spoke up. Rias raised an eyebrow before deciding it was a question she would have to ask later, "I'll get straight to the point: We're all Devils."
"Still don't believe you." Weiss said as she sipped some tea and glared at the Gremory, "I refuse to believe you unless you actually show us some facts."
"Yeah, it is hard to believe." Issei admitted. Rias sighed before speaking again,
"Well, that's expected. It is rather hard to believe but I guess it can't be helped. You remember the guy from last night with black wings right?" Rias asked. Ruby shivered as she remembered. She felt so… helpless. She never felt so helpless before and of course she couldn't forget the day that she and her teammates died. She didn't know how they were alive but now she couldn't but think about why they were alive. Are they alive or more importantly, are they still themselves, "He is a Fallen Angel."
"A Fallen Angel?" Yang asked, "What the Hell are they?"
"Fallen Angels are the Angels originally from Heaven that served the Gods, cast out and sent to Hell due to their wicked nature. We Devils want to retain control of Hell, and we've been battling Fallen Angels ever since." Rias explained,
"Um… but what makes you guys different from the Fallen Angels? Assuming you are actually Devils." Blake asked,
"Well, we Devils make pacts with humans for a price in order to obtain power, whereas the Fallen Angels take control of humans and use them to destroy Devils. Moreover, the Gods have tasked many Angels of destroying Fallen Angels and us Devils, making the situation a three-way standoff. It's been like this for a very long time. Do you understand what I've said so far?"
"Er… so this is an Occult Research Club's discussion forum?" Issei said,
"Everything I've said is the truth." Rias told him, looking a bit miffed,
"Yeah, sure, but… really?" Ruby spoke up, "Angels vs. Fallen Angels vs. Devils? I can probably read up on that online. Look, I'm sorry, but to us… you guys are either crazy or this whole thing is an elaborate scheme to get us to join the Occult Research Club. By the way, if it is, nice touch with the KILLING US!"
"Hey there. The Research Club is just a front. In reality, we Devils use this room as our headquarters." Kiba told Ruby as he tried to calm her down,
"That's not the issue here!" Issei growled as he pulled Ruby away from Kiba, "Now shut up!" Rias looked at the exchange and knew she wasn't getting it through them, so she decided to use the Ace in the Hole,
"This girl… you must recognize her, right?" Rias said as she pulled out a picture. The RWBYs gathered around Issei and saw who it was,
"Yuuma-chan!?" Issei exclaimed as the RWBYs jumped back in shock,
"Wait a minute, YOU WERE THERE, WEREN'T YOU!?" Yang shouted out as her hair started to glow, "YOU LET US DIE!"
"This picture was from before the date when she was meeting with her superiors." Rias quickly lied, "We were going to save you but we were stalled by other Fallen Angels. I'm sorry but when I got there, you all had already taken your last breaths."
"WELL IF YOU JUST-"
"Yang!" Ruby shouted at her half-sister, "It's… it's alright. They did what they could." Rias felt guilty for lying to them but she needed them to trust her, and from the sounds of it, it was working, "So…" Ruby said as everyone sat down, "Issei, were you going to say something?"
"Oh, right." Issei said as he looked back at the picture, "How did you get this anyway? All the photos we took were gone and… no one seems to remember her."
"Well, to put your mind at rest, that girl certainly exists." Rias said, "She's a Fallen Angel, just like the one who ambushed you and Ruby yesterday."
"Please stop reminding me…" Ruby whispered out as her body shook. Rias couldn't help but take pity. It looks like she has developed a fear of Fallen Angels. This was going to be awkward considering that the local Fallen Angel just served her tea,
"Anyway, after she and her Fallen Angel friends killed you guys, it seems like she erased everyone else's memory and records. That's why no one remembers the girl named Yuuma Amano." Rias continued,
"That probably isn't even her real name. Why give someone you're supposed to kill your name when they're just going to die anyway." Blake guessed,
"My thoughts exactly." Rias replied,
"But wait, we're all alive and well right now!" Issei exclaimed, "Also, why would she want to kill us?"
"Team RWBY only got in the way, I'm afraid." Rias answered as she shook her head, causing said to look down,
"We… died for nothing." Weiss whispered to herself,
"We didn't die for nothing!" Ruby snapped, "We died trying to protecting an innocent! And even though it was too early for us… wouldn't choose any other way to die."
"Ruby…" Yang said, both shocked and proud of her half sibling,
"But it doesn't change the fact to her we only got in her way." Blake said, continuing the conversation, "Why did she want to kill Issei?"
"That's because Issei possess a Sacred Gear." Rias said. There was a silence as they processed the information so far before Yang broke the silence,
"A Sacred what?" Yang asked,
"'Sacred Gear', huh? That sounds…" Ruby said as she rubbed her chin,
"Familiar…" Issei finished.
(Flashback!)
"Does it LOOK LIKE I KILLED HIM YET!?" Raynare shouted at her fellow Fallen Angel as she pointed at her target, "I GOT HIT WITH FLYING LOCKERS AND THEY ALL HAVE FUCKING SACRED GEARS!"
"If you want to someone blame, blame God. He put those Sacred Gears into your bodies." And with that, she walked away, leaving everyone to die.
(End Flashback!)
"Yeah… 'Yuuma' said that we all had Sacred Gears." Ruby said, "But wait… we don't have Sacred Gears. We have Semblances."
"'Semblance'?" Rias asked,
"It's the manifestation of our innate and personal power as an ability unique to each individual, with the effects varying greatly from user to user." Blake explained, "It basically represents an aspect of our character. For example, Ruby ability to run at the speed of sound and Yang's ability which is based on taking hits. The more hits she takes, the more damage she deals."
"Really…" Akeno said, looking a little bit too interested in Yang's ability, which the RWBYs and Issei noted,
"Huh… that's… very interesting." Rias said after thinking for a bit, "Thank you for that."
"So, what's a Sacred Gear?" Yang asked as she started to distance herself from Akeno,
"I'll explain this." Akeno spoke up, "A Sacred Gear resides in special humans, giving them abilities far above normal. Although most of them can only take effect within human society."
"And Issei, you have that kind of power within your body." Rias finished off. Issei looked down his body,
'Within my body…' Her thought. Suddenly, it hit him, "Wait! Eh!? I know I'm a super healthy, virile guy, but that thing is actually a super famous tool nicknamed the Sacred Gear!?" Issei exclaimed as he grabbed his 'Sacred Gear'. The RWBYs couldn't help but face palm while Issei was thinking how all the women in the world would after his tool and how his life would be in danger for the rest of his life. Rias was almost starting to question why she revived Issei,
"Ecchi…" Koneko sighed as she went back to secretly staring at Blake while glaring at Yang,
"No…" Rias sweatdropped, "Just… listen, okay Issei?" Issei stopped what he was doing and nodded, "Good. Now, close your eyes and strike a pose that makes you feel like you could draw out a strong power from within."
"Um… okay…" Issei said as he tried to do a powerful pose, 'Why I am doing this?' Issei thought,
"Maybe we should try it out too!" Ruby suggested, "Maybe we have Sacred Gears!"
"Ruby, I think our Semblances count as our Sacred Gears." Weiss told her leader, "Plus, I don't want to look like that." Weiss said as she pointed at Issei,
"Hey! This the Kamehameha from Dragon Ball Z!" Issei retorted,
"It doesn't look like you have any power…" Rias admitted as she looked at the strange pose,
"Yes I do! Watch this!" Issei said with a cocky smirk, "Ka… me…"
"It isn't going to work." Blake predicted,
"Ha… me…"
"Oh, what is he going to do, blast a hole through the building?" Yang joked,
"HA!" Issei finished off as he aimed at the RWBYs, causing them to flinch. But, nothing happened,
"I told you it wasn't going to-" Blake was then interrupted as Issei's started to glow, "What the Hell!?"
"What is this!?" Issei exclaimed as some sort of gauntlet started to form around his hand,
"That," Rias paused for dramatic effect as the Sacred Gear finished forming, "Is your Sacred Gear!"
"Amazing! This looks awesome!" Issei said as he admired the Sacred Gear,
"Whoa…" Ruby stared in awe at the gauntlet, "That's… so… cool!"
"Why, out of all the people on Earth, did God choose him?" Weiss asked before wincing,
"The world works in mysterious ways.' Blake answered,
"I wonder if…" Yang muttered as she stared at her hands, "I wonder if I have one."
"Yang, I already said this. Their Sacred Gears are our Semblances." Weiss said,
"How would you know? We haven't tested it. It could be as simple as-" Suddenly, she paused her sentence as she stared blankly into space,
"Uh, Yang?" Ruby asked, worried about her sister,
"It can be as simple as…" Yang repeated as she balled her right arm into a fist, "As simple as…"
"Yang?" Blake was now worried for her partner,
"AS SIMPLE AS THIS!" Yang suddenly shouted out, her eyes flashing red, as she thrust her arm into the air, "Come to me, SACRED GEAR: BLOODLUST!" All of a sudden, flames started in engulf Yang's arm as everyone felt a pressure crush their chests as the Sacred Gear started to form. When everything settled, everyone saw Yang's Sacred Gear. It was actually similar to Issei's Sacred Gear, except was coloured gold and the gem on the back of her hand was grey,
"…Holy shit." Ruby swore before suffering a headache as Weiss & Blake stared at Yang in shock,
"Yeah, well, that was a thing." Yang said as she scratched the back of her head with her new Sacred Gear, "Um… yeah. I have a Sacred Gear!"
"Of course you do." Rias muttered as she rubbed her temples, 'I was this close to getting another one.' Rias thought before continuing the explanation, "The Fallen Angel Yuuma Amana thought Issei's Sacred Gear posed a threat and when you all showcased your Semblances, she decided to kill you all."
"But… we're still alive." Issei stated,
"Really? I haven't noticed." Weiss said sarcastically,
"Well, when you took your last breath, you summoned me." Rias explained, "Akeno, give Issei a simplified pentagram." Akeno nodded as she gave Issei the flier,
"Yeah… I think I've seen this before…" Issei muttered,
"I told you before: A Devil requires a signed contract in order to utilize a human's power." Rias continued, "They forge an agreement based on the fulfillment of a human's wish, taking power equivalent to the wish they grant. But these days, humans who can draw this kind of pentagram have become almost non-existent."
"And you call this simplified…" Blake muttered as she looked at the pentagram. It looked extremely complicated and complex. And these days, no one had the time or patience to draw something like this, let alone summon a Devil to do their bidding,
"That's why we were giving out 'Simplified Pentagrams' to people with strong desires and Issei just happened to be on the street that day, where you received one from one of our familiars passing out the form." Rias said. Suddenly, Issei was glad he was glad he was weak to cute women or else he wouldn't have taken it,
"What was his wish?" Yang asked,
"To at least die in the arms of a beautiful girl." Rias answered with a wink at Issei. Now he was glad he was a pervert. His perversion saved his life, "So, when I was summoned, I discovered that Issei possessed a Sacred Gear, so I saved his life. I made him a Devil, becoming an underling of Rias Gremory and live again!"
"Wait, what about us? We were there right next to him!" Weiss pointed out,
"Someone had saved you girls before I could." Rias said as she got Akeno to retrieve the chess set, "I believe this is yours." Ruby instantly recognized it,
"Hey, that's mine!" Ruby said as she grabbed. She opened it up and saw that the cheap white plastic pieces were gone and a few of the black pieces were gone too, "Wait, where are the white pieces? Where's King, Knight, Rook and Bishop pieces for the black ones?" Rias only smirked,
"Well, why don't we properly introduce ourselves?" Rias said as everyone in the ORC stood up and revealed their wings,
"My name in Kiba Yuuto, second year and a Devil."
"Koneko Toujou. First year. Devil."
"I'm Akeno Himejima, the Vice President of the Occult Research Club, a third year and a Devil."
"And I'm your Master, Rias Gremory, the heir to the family title of duke. We're all in your care, Issei." That's when Issei's wings appeared, looking smaller than the others wings,
"You were actually telling the truth." Ruby said, "B-But wait, you revived Issei, but who revived us?" She had to ask, "What happened to Team RWBY?" Rias sighed as she whispered into Ruby's ear,
"In all sense… you did."
"What?" Ruby said in shock, "But… huh!?"
"Ruby, you wished to not let your friends die. It was you who saved your friends. There was a pentagram inside the chess set of thought extinct family." Ruby couldn't believe what she was hearing,
"I… saved my friends, but that would mean I wouldn't be here. I would've stayed dead."
"But, they would need someone to lead them, right?" Now Ruby was confused,
"Um… what?" Rias sighed as she decided to get to the point,
"As eye witness of your revival, I can safely say this. You are not part of my peerage." Rias stated, "You are not my underling, you are my apprentice."
"Apprentice of what?"
"Apprentice of a King." Rias answered, "You're a King, Ruby. Your teammates are your servants. You have power beyond what you know. Congratulations of gaining your own peerage, Miss Ruby Rose, the first ever Human King."
Save Game… Quit!
Whew! Done! Yeah… everything will be eventually explained in later chapters. Anyway, Yang has a Sacred Gear and a lot of other stuff happened that I am too tired to remember! And remember that I'm just going off the manga so you're probably going to realize that a lot of the dialogue is from a translation. Anyway peace out!
