Kumiko 3rd POV
As she was in class, following the course, she heard some gossip.
"Have you heard" whispered a girl "Rika was seen kissing a boy in the park"
"Really?" replied another girl "Wasn't she with Takechima?"
"They must have broken up" whispered the first girl.
As the teacher asked them to keep their head in the course, Kumiko's mind went back to Aphrodite's temple and began to heat up. In fact, just thinking of Vali makes her lose focus on anything.
'I need to stay focused' thought Kumiko as she shook her head 'I think that I need to take some days off'
-Time skip: Lunch break-
Sitting on the rooftop, both Kumiko and Li Niang were enjoying their lunch.
"That's so good" complimented Li Niang "I feel like you can be a great wife one day"
Wife, that word let her imagine herself in a wedding dress looking at Vali, smiling at her.
"Big sis? Are you okay?" asked Li Niang as she put her hand on Kumiko's forehead, when she looked at her hand, there were marks of burn "I don't think that you are…"
"Kumiko-senpai" called Shirone as she arrived with the Blackstone.
'The girl eater!' thought Li Niang before running away, hiding behind a wall.
"What's up with you and your foul mood lately?" he asked with annoyance.
But, like an alarm, the Blackstone's voice broke her from daydreaming. She looked at him and gave him a dark look before gutting up.
"Sorry Shirone, but I can't stay here," she said as she went to the exit "There's too much dishonor in the air"
"You aren't going anywhere," said the voice of Rias, blocking her way with Akeno, Kiba, Issei, and Asia "We have some questions for you"
"I'm not in the mood so get out of my way" growled Kumiko.
"Not until you answer my questions and you need to give your potion to Deven" added Rias "The last one wasn't a request"
"Who do you think you are…" mumbled Kumiko with a dark voice "Do you really think that you can order me like I'm some sort of dog? That I'm at your service? That you are something to me?"
The aura around her made everyone take a step back.
"Let me show you the only thing that you'll ever get from me" she took her Hitokiri form before hitting the axe on the floor.
"I, bearer of knowledge and wisdom
Survived in every place I went to live
I keep all the honor of my men
Leading them to victory
I am the true justice of the Myre
JUGGERNAUT DRIVE"
Now with a larger form, wearing a rice hat, an emotionless mask, a spiked samurai armor, two short swords on each side of her waist, a long silk coat, a pair of spiked metal pauldrons and fingered leather gauntlets with chains around them.
Deven, Issei, and Kiba placed themselves in front of Rias.
"Senpai!" called Shirone "Can't you also activate your Juggernaut Drive?"
"I can barely use the black prior, so asking me to use my Juggernaut Drive…" said the Blackstone before taking his black prior form "The best we can do now is defend ourselves against her attacks"
"Wretched warriors... nothing more than flesh and bones…" said Kumiko in a creepy voice, while walking toward the three boys "You no longer need to suffer... I offer you peace and salvation…" She then created a Masakari Axe with a face in the middle of it and spider legs around the face, expanding to the edge of the weapon "Be not afraid... your souls are now mine!"
-Time skip: after school-
Kumiko and Li Niang were walking; Li Niang was keeping her happy looking face, and Kumiko a neutral one. She had to confess, maybe she went a bit overboard against them, but they're the ones who asked for it.
"Big sis!" called Li Niang with a smile "Can we get pizza for tonight?"
"Why not?" Kumiko replied with a shrug "I don't see a reason not to"
"Why not invite the others?" suggested Li Niang.
"The others?" asked Kumiko with confusion.
"Arthur, Bikou and Vali" replied Li Niang causing Kumiko to blush heavily "Are you okay?"
"Y-Yes" answered Kumiko "Can you do an errand for me?"
"Yeah!" yelled Li Niang with happiness "What can I do?"
"I asked for a book in the library, but I don't think that I can go take it now…" explained Kumiko, but Li Niang disappeared before hearing the rest of the explanation "And she's gone, is she going to be alright?"
Kumiko turned to continue her way when she stepped on a coated person. She was about to ignore it, but there was something in him that was giving a lot of power.
-Scene change: unknown cave-
Narrator POV
"I met the lady and cut her head. I met the child and cut his head. I went and threw their bodies to the Styx. I threw their heads to the fire…" sung Betherode while cutting the body of a boy.
"It seems like you're having fun," said a masculine voice that froze the Greek psychopath.
"Master!" yelled Betherode as he prostrated to a young man with long black hair and red eyes, and pointy ears. He wears a black robe with detailed accessories.
"Get up, my faithful servant," said the young man.
"The plan is going the way you wish," said Betherode "Your beloved Apollyon shall walk by your side as you trigger war"
"How about the host?"
"I did as you ask me; hurting the one who can cure him of the curse then lose to him in front of her"
The young man laughed before turning and leaving Betherode "Go capture the host now"
"Yes, Master!"
POV-DEVEN
"AAHHGG!"
"Sorry senpai"
One could say that Deven was not a happy person. His pride….his powers….and his only form of defense…..all broken.
Both Kuroka and Koneko were using their Senjutsu to heal him, he took all of the damage. He looked to the two pieces of metal and wood that were his shield. It took the first two strikes, the third shattered it. Along with his sword. The next strike was aimed at Rias, He rushed in front of her and caught the axe with his hands. His armor took the blow but soon, he was sent through the roof all the way to the bottom floor. He couldn't move, He was laying on his bed being healed by both of his precious kittens.
A blue magic circle appeared. "Master I-OH MY GOD!" Tiamat came out of the circle and saw his state of being, she had been gone for the last three days. "Where the hell have you been?" Deven asked. "i-i-I was looking for a way to break the curse, and-and I found it." Devens's eyes widened. He tried to sit up but was met with pain. "How?" He asked with cold eyes. "W-what?" He growled, "How do I break the curse?" Tiamat came over and added her own healing magic. "You...uh...you need…" Her face became red. "You- you need to...f-f-find, my sister." Deven was confused as to why she was so embarrassed to say she had a sister. "She is the curse breaker dragon" Kuroka stiffened. "The curse breaker dragon?" Deven was even more confused. "What is so wrong with Tiamat's sister that you both look so terrified?" both girls looked to him. "Its not her that we are scared of." Tiamat began. "It's you that we are scared for, this dragon…..her prices are…..strange." Deven began to understand. "If I can get my armor back and return the favor to that samurai, then I will pay any price," he said with stone conviction. "That's what we were afraid of."
TIME SKIP
Deven could now stand with mild pain. He, along with Kuroka and Tiamat was preparing to go. "Are you sure this is safe?" Rias asked as Tiamat formed a circle. "Princess…..when was the last time I did something 'safe'?" He said with a smirk. They teleported to what looked like a stereo-typical Witches cabin. Deven walked forward with a black cat and a blue dragon on his shoulders. Tiamat whispered in his ear. "Master, before you knock…..just know that my sister can be….. 'Persuasive' when it comes to her prices." He kept that in mind when he knocked on the door, his companions disappeared. He heard the sound of shuffling, and bottles clinking. The door opened and the girl on the other side looked like a mature version of Tiamat but purple. "Well….hello there, handsome." her eyes roamed his form. "Are you Shaia?" The woman smirked. "Yes, I am. What can I do for you?"
Deven steeled himself. "I have a curse that needs breaking" Her eyes began to glow a deep purple and locked on the side of his body that he was stabbed with the cursed dagger. "Hmm, yes….a very powerful sealing curse….I'm sure you heard that my prices are steep." He nodded. "I am prepared to pay any price to get my powers back." There was an amused glint in her eyes. Deven began to feel uncomfortable. "Any price you say?"
Deven was now standing in a room that was way bigger on the inside than it looked. "You know…." She started while pressing herself against him. "A girl can get very lonely out here in the woods….all by herself" her hands felt his muscled arms. "That curse you have is very strong…..I have the power to break it…...but the price in return…...is something I have been craving for a while." He held his ground, not letting her lower his defenses. "What do you want?" She smiled seductively. "Kiss me" …...That…...that was it? "You only want…..a kiss?" The smile never left her face. "well…..A kiss, and a favor" That was fine, he could live with that. "I accept" Her smile widened and she pulled him down for a kiss.
TIME SKIP
Deven, Kuroka, Koneko, and Tiamat were all standing in the backyard, surrounded by everyone else. In his hand, was a small, ornate bottle. He opened the top and downed the contents, he got a slight hint of grape…...before he fell to his knees in horrible pain. "Senpai!" Koneko tried to go to him but was grabbed. "Don't, this is expected." He fought the pain with all of his will. A black mist started to pour out of his mouth and disperse into the air.
This continued for a few minutes before the pain was completely gone. He stood up. He could feel the connection to his armor and weapons clearly as if it never stopped. "D-did it work?" Rias asked. He smirked and changed into his lawbringer form. "IM BACK!" The face of a hydra formed over his helmet as he threw his head back, It spit flames high into the air as he waved his Pole axe in the air. He then changed to a warden, then to a conqueror, then Centurion, the gladiator, then finally to Black prior. Its shield and sword repaired and shining like new. "Its payback time"
