Yukio's eyes were still focused on trying to get Rias to help him as he accepted the slap from his master as she spoke seriously "How many times do I have to repeat myself? No is no. I can't allow you to save that nun"
"She's got a Sacred Gear that can heal anything including Devils…and they intent to do some sort of ritual to her…It'll start another war if they can heal all there injuries that easily" Yukio retorted, he didn't want Asia's ability to be known but he had to convince Rias to let him go save her.
"You'll definitely get killed if you go. You won't be able to come back alive anymore. Do you understand?" Rias spoke, trying to keep a calm tone
"I would go protect anyone I care about…even if I knew I was going to die cause of it…" Yukio spoke with serious eyes, keeping his gaze locked on Rias, her eyes softening slightly as she spoke
"That's a wonderful thing; I think it's amazing if you can say that. But that is different than what we are talking about now. The relationship between Devil and Fallen Angel is not as simple as you think. The two sides have been glaring at each other for hundreds and thousands of years. If you show them a single gap of weakness, they will come and kill us. They are out enemy…"
Akeno came in and whispered something into Rias' ear, a serious expression on both faces; she looked at Yukio for a moment before to the other members as she spoke
"I've got an urgent thing to do now. Akeno and I will go out for a bit"
"But…Buchou!" Yukio spoke only to find Rias' index finger on his lips as she spoke
"The Pawn's ability is "Promotion" as you know… you can change into other classes if you reach the opponent's base. It can promote to any other piece besides the "King" piece. Yukio, you can promote to any piece besides the "King" in the location I acknowledge as an enemy's location"
"Since it hasn't been that long since you became a Devil, there are restrictions, so it's probably still impossible for you to be promoted to the ultimate piece, "Queen". But you could change to other classes. If you wish strongly and say "Promotion" with your heart, then there will be a change in your ability. Also one more thing, it's about the Sacred Gear. When you use your Sacred Gear, just remember this" Rias stroked his cheek as she continued
"Desire. Sacred Gear's power work on the user's desire. It also determines the power as well. Even if you are a Devil, your will to desire hasn't been lost. There's one last thing you should never forget, Yukio. Even the "Pawn" can take down the "King". This is basic in chess. This truth also applies in the Devils' chess pieces. You can become stronger."
After that she and Akeno teleported to some place from the magic circle, leaving Yukio with Yuuto and Koneko, the silver haired teen taking a deep breathe as he started towards the door
"Hosokawa-kun…?" Yuuto called, Yukio stopping as the blonde asked
"Are you going?"
"Yeah…I have to because Asia's my friend…no matter what happens to me as long as she'll be safe I can live with whatever will happen to me" Yukio replied
"I would say it's a good determination but it's still reckless" Yuuto spoke
"That's just how I am" Yukio spoke with a small smile, part of himself resigned to what may happen as he opened the door only for his eyes to widen as he heard
"I'm going too" Yuuto spoke, Yukio looking back in confusion as the Knight continued
"I don't know much about Asia-san, but you are my comrade. Even though Buchou said that, there's a part of me that respects your decision. Also, I personally don't like Fallen Angels and Priests. I detest them."
"Buchou said that she acknowledges you to go a long way. Of course it also means that I should support you as well. Buchou may have some sort of plan. If not, she would have stopped you by locking you up somewhere" Yuuto added, laughing slightly as Yukio thanked Rias for her kindness before he was surprised once more
"….I'm going as well." Koneko spoke
"Koneko-san…?" Yukio asked, his smile growing happier as he looked to her
"…I feel uneasy if it's only two people going" She added as Yukio spoke
"Thank you, both of you…let's get going"
…
The trio of Devils were examining the church as the street lamps flickered into life above them, Yukio was sweating as Yuuto spoke "From this presence, it's certain that there is a Fallen Angel inside…Here, look at this map"
Yuuto spread the map of the building on the road, Yukio confused where he got a map of the church that quickly as Yuuto added "Well, it's basic when you are going into the enemy's territory"
"Besides the sanctuary, there is also a dormitory. The sanctuary looks suspicious." Yuuto signalled to them on the map as he spoke.
"So we can ignore the dormitory…?" Yukio asked as Yuuto nodded
"Most likely. Most "Exiled Exorcists" groups usually make some alteration to the sanctuary. They usually perform suspicious rituals under the sanctuary"
"Why?" Yukio asked confused as Yuuto's smile turned bitter as he answered
"It's the place they used to respect as a holy place, and by doing something that rejects God there, it makes them satisfied because it's an insult to God. Because they loved God, because they were rejected, that's why they purposely cast evil spells under the sanctuary as a representation for there hatred."
"The sanctuary is just behind the gates. I think we can go straight in. The problem is to find the door to the basement once we get in the sanctuary and also if we can defeat the assassins waiting for us" Yuuto added as Yukio nodded as he kept his gaze on the church as he spoke
"Let's get this started…"
The trio charged in through the entrance and ran straight for the sanctuary, knowing that the Fallen Angels had noticed them by this point. Entering the sanctuary, Yukio looked around for any attackers his eyes trailing on the altar and long chairs around the large room which was only lit by candles and interior lamps. Clapping rung out in the room as someone made themselves known from behind a pillar, Yukio activating his gauntlet as the familiar priest spoke "Meeting! It's a reunion! So emotional!"
Freed gave them a weird smile as he continued "Well, I never met a Devil twice before! See, because I'm super strong, I cut Devils into pieces when I first meet them! Once I see them, I cut them up on the spot! I then kiss the corpse and say goodbye! That's how I used to live! But sine you guys ruined my style, I'm so lost!"
He opened his eyes to see Yukio diving towards him with his gauntlet covered in flames, managing to pull his sword out in time to block the attack. Freed shot his gun only to miss as Yukio spun away from it before going for a low kick which Freed jumped out of the way as he shouted "Hey! I was talking you shitty Devil"
"I don't care…I'm here for Asia…Not to listen to your rant" Yukio shouted as he charged, Yuuto and Koneko surprised at the silver haired teen attacking so soon before Yuuto unsheathed his sword and rushed over to help as Freed retorted
"You guys came to rescue Asia-tan, right? Hahaha! Devil-samas are big hearted for coming to rescue a bitch like that who would even heal Devils! Well, just being entranced to a Devil should make that Sister die! Well, there are hidden stairs under that altar. From there you can go to the place where they are doing the ritual."
Yukio launched ball of red magic at Freed, the priest dodging it and a pew thrown by Koneko before Yuuto clashed swords with him, the magic ball exploding as Freed spoke "Hmm! Hmm! Such a bother! Why are you guys so noisy? I'm sorry for talking in a death language! Forgive me after you die!"
Yuuto dodged the light bullets easily with his speed before they clashed swords again as he spoke "Impressive. You are strong."
"Ahahahaha! You too! A "Knight", huh!? Not even a single blind spot! Now this is great! Yes, yes. This is it. I haven't had a battle like this lately! I was about to cry because of it! Hmm! Hmm! I'm going to kill you!" Freed spoke with a smirk before Yuuto's face turned serious as he spoke
"Then I will fight seriously for a bit then…Eat this" The latter part was spoke quietly before black covered Kiba's sword, starting to m engulf the light sword. The priest looked confused as he shouted
"Wha…what the hell is this!?"
"It's the "Holy Eraser", a darkness sword that engulfs light" Yuuto explained as Yukio started to close the distance as he spoke
"Activate!" The jewel glowed before calling out
[Boost!]
"You're a Sacred Gear possessor as well?" Freed spoke surprised to Yuuto before pointing his gun towards Yukio, firing several bullets at him as the Pawn shouted
"Promotion: Knight!" Yukio disappeared from view with his newly gained boost of speed before any of the bullets hit him as Freed looked shocked as he spoke
"Promotion!? A Pawn?" Yukio appeared in front of him as he threw his fist into the priest's face, feeling something intercept his attack before throwing his other fist into Freed's chest, launching him back across the room.
Yukio sighed in relief as before noticing the cracked handle left in the priest's hand, guessing correctly that the priest had used it as a shield against his first punch as he spoke "That was for hitting Asia"
"Hmm…Huh? Not only I got punched by a trashy Devil, but he's saying something that I don't get…to me…Don't fuck with me" The priest howled as he got back up as he continued
"Don't fuck with me! You shit! You low life Devil, don't mess around with me! I'll kill you! Definitely! I'll kill you! I'm going to cut you into pieces, you shit!" He took a second sword out which only had the sheath, the trio of Devils around him, smirking as he noticed that he was surrounded
"Wow, wow. Is this what you call a crisis? Well for me, getting killed by a Devil is a no-no, so I feel like retreating. It's a shame that I can't exorcise you guys, but I also don't want to die!" He spoke as he took out a weird looking ball before smashing it on the ground, the blinding light concealing his escape as he cackled from out of view
"Hey. The grunt Devil over there… I think your name was Yukio-kun? To tell you the truth, I have fallen in love with you. So I will definitely kill you. Definitely, okay? I won't forgive a shitty Devil who punched me and gave me a lecture, okay? Then, bye-bye."
"Weirdo" Yukio spoke to himself, Yuuto looking at him seriously along with Koneko as they each nodded before heading towards the altar's hidden stairs
…
The trio walked down the staircase, Yuuto leading them as Koneko spoke "Possibly at the end of this passage…Because this smell is that person's…"
Yukio nodded, although a small part of himself wondered how she could smell that good before they found a large door as he asked "Is that it?"
"Possibly. I'm sure there are groups of Exorcists and Fallen Angels inside. Are you ready?" Yuuto asked, Yukio and Koneko nodding as he continued
"Okay. Then we'll open the door…." Yuuto and Yukio prepared to open the door only to find that it opened by itself with a loud creak, the room inside becoming visible as a voice called out
"Welcome Devils" Raynare spoke from the other end of the room, priests standing between the trio and her, each holding sword handles as Yukio's gaze locked onto the girl who was attached to the cross as he called
"Asia!" Asia looked up at Yukio, smiling at seeing him, a solitary tear dropping from her eye as she spoke "Yukio-san?"
"I've come to save you" Yukio shouted back before Raynare spoke
"It's a touching reunion, but it's too late. The ritual is about to finish now" Yukio cursed himself for being late as Asia's body started to glow, using his speed to charging past the Exorcists as Asia screamed in pain while he shouted
"Asia!" The priests tried to surround Yukio; only to get knocked back by Koneko and Yuuto.
"…Please don't touch me" Koneko spoke as she punched away one of the priests before Yuuto added as he slashed out with his darkness sword
"Looks like I will have to go full throttle from the beginning. I hate priests. If there are this many, then I won't hold back to devour your light"
A large light came from Asia's body, Raynare catching it in her hand as she spoke victoriously "This is it! This is the power that I craved for, for a long time! Sacred Gear! With this, I will be loved!"
She pressed the light into her chest as she hugged it, the green light covering the room before fading to show the Fallen was covered in green coloured light as she laughed "Fufufu. Ahahahaha! I finally have it! The supreme power! With this…! With this I can become a supreme Fallen Angel! With this I can payback all those who were looking down on me!"
Yukio roundhouse kicked a priest into the wall before hurrying straight to Asia, Yuuto and Koneko supporting him with taking out any priest getting in there way as the silver haired Devil spoke "Thanks, you two"
Asia looked lifeless while she was still attached to the cross, Yukio quick to untie her bindings before holding her in his arms as she seemed to look up at him with tired eyes as she spoke "Y…Yukio-san…"
"Hey Asia, I came to take you back" Yukio replied as she smiled slightly as she spoke
"…Yes."
"It's futile" Raynare retorted with a smirk as she looked at the pair as she explained
"Possessors whose Sacred Gear is taken away from their body will die. That girl is going to die."
"Give her Sacred Gear back!" Yukio shouted angrily, Raynare only laughing as she spoke
"There's no way that I will give it back. I even lied to my superiors to get my hands on this. I will kill all of you as well to erase all evidences."
"You're a coward! First you attack me from behind and then you do this" Yukio spoke up angrily, starting to build up a crimson aura into his gauntlet
"Fufufu. I believed at the time you had a greater power that would mean I'd lose in a straight up fight…but instead you had that ordinary Sacred Gear inside you"
"Raynare!" Yukio shouted in rage
"Ahahaha! I don't want a rotten brat like you calling my name!" Raynare sneered, not feeling what was building up inside the silver haired teen
"Yukio-kun! Our formation is at a disadvantage while we're protecting that girl! So go upstairs at once! We'll make a path for you! Now, hurry!" Yuuto spoke as he took down more of the priests, Yukio glaring at Raynare as he shot a beam of crimson energy from his gauntlet at her, smashing her into the wall as his eyes widening slightly as he thought
'Cero…I-I can use it now..?' Ignoring his own confusion for the more pressing matters, Yukio picked up Asia gently in his arms as he spoke softly to her
"Hold on, Asia" He turned to see Koneko and Yuuto had made a path for him as he spoke
"Yuuto-san, Koneko-san don't go losing"
"Of course" Yuuto spoke with a smile as Koneko nodded as she added
"…Right" Yukio rushed out of the room, clutching Asia tightly to avoid her getting hurt again.
…
Yukio panted as he laid Asia onto one of the pews, her face blue as he spoke to her
"Just wait a bit! You'll be fine soon, Asia" Asia smiled as she took one of Yukio's hands, Yukio feeling bad at the lack of any warmth or strength in her hand as she spoke
"…I was…happy…that I had a…friend…even for a short while….If I were to be born again….will you become my friend once more…"
"Don't say that…you'll be fine" Yukio spoke, tears running down his cheeks as he tried to smile at her, her hand patting Yukio's cheek as she spoke
"…You even cry for someone like me…now…I…can…." Asia's hand dropped slowly as she added
"…Thank you…" Yukio rested her hand on her stomach as he wiped his red eyes clear of tears as he spoke with a tone filled with rage
"Raynare is going to die for this…."
"You really think you can injure me with my power now…" Raynare spoke with a smirk from behind him, Yukio turning to look at her as he shouted
"That was Asia's power…Give it back!"
"Impossible…" She spoke as she raised her arm which had a cut on it as she continued
"Look at this. This is the wound I got from the "Knight" boy while I was coming here…Wonderful isn't it. I can heal any kind of wound. To us Fallen Angels, who lost the protection of God, that child's Sacred Gear is a special present" Raynare placed a hand onto her wound healing it easily
"I don't care about you crows!" Yukio roared, Raynare sneering as she shouted
"How dare you!? Just for that I'm going to make your death painful as possible"
"Bring it! When I kill you I will bring Asia back!" Yukio shouted as he slipped into a fighting stance
[DRAGON BOOSTER!] The jewel on the gauntlet shone brightly before mysterious marks started to appear on the gauntlet as power started to flow into Yukio, who charged to punch Raynare, who dodged easily as Sparda quietly spoke to not disturb his host
{Amazing…}
"I will explain it so even a dummy can understand. It's a simple power difference. I have a power of 1000. You have a power of 1. You cannot shorten the gap between us. Even with the ability of that Sacred Gear, the power doubled is only 2. It can't be helped. How can you win against me!?"
[Boost!] The mark on the jewel changed from I to II as Yukio felt the extra power course through his body, charging with his "Knight" class speed only to miss again as Raynare spoke
"Wow! Did your power increase a bit? Still it's not enough!"
{Yukio you can hold Amonusen in its sealed form now} Sparda spoke up shocked; Yukio summoning his other Sacred Gear to his gauntlet covered hand quickly after as Raynare's face dropped as she shouted
"Amonusen! But how?" She prepared a spear of light to throw at Yukio, the silver haired teen batting it away with his sealed weapon as he shouted as he charged, intent to use the covered weapon against her
"Guaaaahhh!" Raynare managed to dodge again, only to find herself having to work harder to dodge his attacks around the sanctuary until Yukio's gauntlet shouted again
[Boost!] Raynare was surprised as Yukio dodged her spear of light before bringing Amonusen over his head onto her back smashing her into the ground which spider webbed under her. Yukio lifted the blade again, Raynare's wounds healing within a few moments before she was smashed further into the ground by his next hit.
"Let's end this Sacred Gears!" Yukio shouted, lifting the blade again as the jewel shouted, shining bright piercing light.
[Explosion!] The sealing clothe started to glow a red as he brought the blade down on her again, a loud roar of an explosion echoing through the sanctuary as a fissure formed along the floor and up the wall from his attack.
{He used that attack so easily} Sparda spoke surprised at how his host had pulled off such a move already as Yukio rested Amonusen against his shoulder as he looked down at Raynare
"Impossible. What is this? Why? That Sacred Gear is suppose to be "Twice Critical", a Sacred Gear that doubles the power of the possessor…and you possess Amonusen…Why didn't I sense this power that surpasses mine before…the wave of demonic power is that of a middle-class…no… that of a high-class Devil…" Raynare spoke shocked as her wounds healed her body which was still weak. Yukio's eyes widened slightly at that comment, sparing a glance to his red gauntlet which had changed during the fight as Raynare continued in denial
"Lies! This is all lies! I am the Fallen Angel that has the ultimate healing power! I turned into a superior being by obtaining this "Twilight Healing"! I received the right to be loved by Azarel-sama and Shemhaza-sama! I wouldn't lose to someone low like you…"
Raynare flew into the air, a spear of light in each hand, which she threw at him. Yukio spun Amonusen to deflect both of them away as he rested the tip against the ground before him, a serious look on his face as he continued staring at her shocked expression, waves of killing intent coming from Yukio's body.
"No…!" Raynare shouted as she tried to make her escape flying up into the air.
"Sealing Clothe!" Yukio called, the loose piece of clothe from the hilt wiggling slightly before shooting at her wrapping around her arm before he pulled her into the ground easily as he added
"I won't let you get away, crow" Walking calmly towards her he swung his weapon out to his left, the weapon gaining a red aura over it as she tried to break free from the part of clothe that was still attached to her. With a simple swing the wave of energy blasted out again smashing into Raynare before forcing her to into the now broken wall which fell down atop of her, a large fissure in the wall she'd been launched into.
Yukio panted as he leant his weight on Amonusen, tired as he felt a tap on his shoulder, spinning on the post only to find Yuuto standing there
"Good work. You actually beat a Fallen Angel" Yuuto spoke with a smile, supporting him for a moment before Yukio dismissed Amonusen as he took a sigh of relief to calm himself down.
"Thanks…what took you so long?" Yukio asked, as Yuuto laughed
"Buchou told me not to interfere" Yukio looked confused at him as a familiar voice continued
"That's right. I believed that you were able to beat the Fallen Angel Raynare" Turning Yukio saw Rias smiling as she walked towards him as he looked confused
"Buchou? Where did you come from?" He asked confused.
"From the basement, I finished my business, so I used the magic circle to transport me here. I was nervous because it was my first time transporting to a church" Rias spoke with a sigh, Yukio curious where Koneko was going as she walked past him before finding Rias appeared in front of him as she added
"So you won."
"Yeah…I managed to use Amonusen as well…in its sealed form but…" Yukio replied with a sigh, smiling slightly
{You used Amonusen's sealed form quite well for your first time…you're aura was a lot bigger then most users have controlled} Sparda spoke approvingly
"Excellent, just what I expected from my servant" She spoke as she tapped Yukio's nose, causing him to blush slightly before Akeno asked with a troubled face
"Oh my. The church is in a mess. Is it alright, Buchou?" Yukio looked embarrassed from what he'd done with using Amonusen there before asking Rias
"I did make a mess…Is something going to happen because of this?"
"No...This church was originally an abandoned one. So a certain group of Fallen Angels had come here to use it for there own greed. We just happened to have a fight in a place like that. So we didn't step foot on the enemies' actual territory to have war. So it's just a small fight between a Devil and a Fallen Angel. That happens anywhere, every year. That's what happened here." Rias answered, Yukio nodding understandingly as he felt relieved before turning his head towards Koenko as she spoke
"Buchou, I've brought it" The Rook was dragging Raynare who was unconscious from her run in with a brick wall and Amonusen as Rias spoke to her
"Thank you, Koneko. Let's wake her up, Akeno"
"Yes" Akeno nodded as she flipped her hand up before using her magic to make water appear, quickly dropping it onto Raynare and causing her to cough a few times before seeing Rias looking down at her seriously as she asked
"How are you doing, Fallen Angel, Raynare?"
"You are the daughter of the Gremory Household…?" Raynare spoke as Rias smiled as she greeted her
"Hello, my name is Rias Gremory. I'm the next heir of the Gremory Household. It will be for a short while, but nice to have your acquaintance" Raynare glared at the crimson haired King before sneering
"You think you've got me, but too bad. This plan was kept secret from the higher-ups, but there are other Fallen Angels with me. If I get in danger, they will…"
"They won't come to help" Rias cut her off as she continued
"That's because I already eliminated all three of the Fallen Angels, Calawana, Donnasiege and Mitelt"
"Liar!" Raynare shouted sitting up as Rias showed three black feathers to her as she spoke
"These are the feathers of those three. You can tell them apart since you are the same kind as them, right?" Raynare lost hope upon seeing them as Rias continued
"I knew that there were a few Fallen Angels plotting something in this town. But I ignored it because I thought that it was a plan that involved a whole group of Fallen Angels. Even I'm not foolish enough to take on all of the Fallen Angels. Then I heard that the Fallen Angels were moving around secretively so I went to talk to them, taking Akeno with me. When I met them in person, they blurted that it was their own plan. By helping you, they said, they would get promoted to a higher status. Low lives, who move around secretively usually brag about there plot."
Rias smirked as Raynare bit her lip in frustration as the crimson haired she-devil continued "They looked down on us because it was just two girls who approached them. So I asked them as a parting gift. Fufufu, they talked without realising who was the one to die. Such foolish Fallen Angels. Since they were willing to help in your pathetic plot, they themselves were low beings"
Yukio's eyes widened as he realised that was what Rias had to take care of and that she had took down the other Fallen Angels, he felt bad for even thinking that she didn't care about it all.
"Getting hit by a single shot won't leave a trace. The princess of the Duke who has the power of "destruction" Buchou is a powerful Devil who is called a genius among the group of young Devils" Yuuto commented like he was bragging about his master.
"One of her nicknames is "Crimson-Hair Ruin-Princess", you know? That's whom you were up against" Akeno added as she smiled, Yukio's eyes widening at hearing the nickname before noticing that his master was looking over his red gauntlet again as she spoke to herself shocked
"…Red Dragon. Until recently there wasn't a mark like this…So that's what it is…"
"I found out the main reason why Yukio was able to beat a Fallen Angel" She said quietly before turning to Raynare as she spoke
"Fallen Angel, Raynare. This boy, Hosokawa Yukio's Sacred Gears are not regular Sacred Gears. That's why you lost" Raynare looked puzzled as Rias explained
"Red-Dragon-Emperor's Gauntlet…the "Boosted Gear" and Demonic-Sword Amonusen. The first is said to be the rarest of the rare. The Red Dragon mark on the gauntlet is the evidence. The second is only evident by the clothe covering it but few have ever seen it what lays beneath it. Even you've heard both of them before, right?" Raynare looked shocked as she spoke
"The "Boosted Gear"….One of the "Longinus"…The ability to attain the power that surpasses Maou and God for a certain time…Amonusen…Sealed for its own good due to the darkness inside it…Those cursed Sacred Gears are possessed by a child like this!?"
"According to the legends, in human's time, it doubles the possessor's power every 10 seconds, that's the ability of "Boosted Gear". Even if his power starts from 1, it doubles his power every 10 seconds, and it can reach the leader-class Fallen Angels and High-Class Devils. By mastering it, he could even kill God… Amonusen can cut enemies down even with its blade covered by the energy it uses, known as reiatsu, which the user can usually freely manipulate and is only useable by those descended from the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda…If a user ever controlled the darkness inside they would wield the power to rival a Maou. By mastering either of them he could even kill God" Yukio looked shocked at hearing that he had so much power inside him because of both of his Sacred Gears before realising that he had only been able to use Amonusen after his Boosted Gear started to double his power.
{This would make using Amonusen easier until you become naturally strong enough to use it on its own} Sparda spoke as Yukio mentally agreed as he looked down to the Gauntlet as Rias spoke as she started to walk over to him
"But even if the "Boosted Gear" is a powerful Sacred Gear, it still has a big risk of needing time. There aren't that many enemies that would wait for the user to get stronger. Since the opponent was taking it lightly, this was the outcome…but with Amonsuen… it's limited to only a quarter of its power while it's sealed and few have ever been strong enough to unseal it because its too destructive" Yukio blushed as she started to pat his head as she spoke
"But it's interesting. Just to be expected from my Servant-kun. Yukio is an interesting boy, just like I thought. Fufufu, I'm going to spoil you even more" Yukio's blush deepened at her comment noticing her smile which was slightly scary as Yukio bowed his head as he spoke
"I'm sorry, Buchou. When I said I was going to save Asia…I didn't care about what would happen to you and the others…But you were working to help me…and I…" Rias just continued patting his head as Yukio's eyes turned slightly teary as he spoke
"I couldn't… protect Asia, Buchou…"
"You don't have to cry. No one would blame you after seeing you now" She spoke softly before Yukio tried to rebuke it
"But…I…" Rias wiped his tears away with her fingers as she spoke soothingly
"It's okay. You weren't experienced as a Devil yet. That's it. Become strong. I'm going to make you work hard from now on, so be prepared, my Pawn, Yukio"
"Right…" Yukio replied with a nod, Rias' eyes turning sharp and ruthless as she moved towards Raynare, who became scared as Rias spoke with a cold tone
"I will have you disappear, Fallen Angel-san…Of course, I will retrieve that Sacred Gear back as well" Yukio's eyes widened at that comment as his hopes rose maybe there was a way to still save Asia.
"You can't be serious!? This healing power is for Azazel-sama and Shemhaza-sama…" Raynare tried to rebuke, Rias aiming her palm towards Raynare as she spoke
"To live your life for love is beautiful. But you are too tainted with dirt. You have no elegance. And I don't allow that."
"Me, here" A voice called, there eyes turning to the shadow behind the broken wall, Freed standing there as he spoke up
"Wow! My superior is in serious danger! So what's going to happen now!?" Raynare turning to shout to the priest for help
"Save me! If you save me, I will give you a reward or something!" Freed smiled sadistically as he thought aloud
"Hmm. Hmm. I received a beautiful order from an Angel. Huh? So I can have sex with you? To me, having sex with an Angel is like the best honour. It would become a good social status for me."
"Ku…Don't fool around and save me!" Raynare shouted angrily as Freed retorted with a funny tone
"Ararararara, you know that I'm actually serious…I mean something minor like that should be alright. Isn't it, Angel-sama? So it's a no? Is that so? Then I will take my leave now. No mater how you look at it, I'm at a disadvantage, so I will just take off."
"You are a Priest, aren't you!? You are supposed to save me! I'm an all mighty Fallen Angel! I…" Raynare shouted back before Freed started to rant
"I don't need a superior who loses to scum, Devils. You are pretty, but you lack plans and you are hard headed. The only thing you are useful for is masturbation. So just die away already. Well, a Fallen Angel who is abandoned by the God won't go to either Heaven or Hell but goes back to nothing. Maybe the experience of turning into nothing will be helpful? Oh, that's impossible because there will be nothing left. It's impossible, hahaha. So namusan, Wait, that's Buddhism. Oh yeah, I'm a former Christian! I'm such a naughty boy! Hahahaha!" Freed looked around like he'd lost interest in the Fallen, Raynare looking miserable at realising she wasn't going to be saved.
"Yukio-kun, Yukio-kun. You have such wonderful abilities. I'm getting more interested in you. You are so worthy to kill! You are definitely in my "Top 5 Devils killing list", so be prepared, okay? The next time we meet; let's have a romantic fight to the death, okay?" Yukio shivered at the creepy tone of the priest, feeling the waves of killing intent from off him as Freed spoke up before disappearing
"See ya then! Bye-bye! Remember to brush your teeth!"
"Now, the Fallen Angel Raynare, who was abandoned by her own servant, Miserable" Rias spoke with a non-sympathetic tone which caused Raynare to shiver before Rias added
"Now disappear" The magical ball shot by Rias left nothing of Raynare aside from the feathers around the church and an unusual feeling.

Rias took hold of the glowing green ball which was Asia's Sacred Gear, Yukio smiling as she spoke "Now, let's give this back to Asia Argento-san"
"You're going to resurrect Asia…?" Yukio asked as Rias nodded as she produced a "Bishop" piece from her pocket as she spoke
"I've already have one Bishop but they're away on other work….but I've got a spare piece. The Bishop's role is to support other members of the group. This girl's healing power could be useful as a Bishop. It never happened before, but I will reincarnate this girl as a Devil" She stopped in front of Asia, crimson aura around her body as she spoke
"I order, in the name Rias Gremory. You, Asia Argento, I resurrect you back to this soil as my servant, and be reborn as a Devil. You, my "Bishop", with a new life, be delighted!" The red chess piece glowed and went inside Asia's body along with her Sacred Gear, Rias sighing in relief.
A few moments passed before Asia opened her eyes, Yukio grinning as she spoke "Huh?"
Rias smiled at Yukio warmly as she spoke "I resurrected her because I wanted her power that can even heal a Devil. Fufufu, Yukio, from now on, you'll protect her. Since you will be her senior Devil"
"Of course, Buchou" Yukio replied as Asia sat up looking around before her eyes settled on Yukio
"Yukio-san?" The silver haired teen hugged her, Asia looking puzzled as he spoke
"Let's go home, Asia."
…
{Seems you can use Amonusen's sealed form after boosting yourself twice} Sparda spoke as they got ready so they could meet in the club room before school as Yukio thought back
'I'd like to be able to use it without having to rely on the Boosted Gear but for now I guess it should be fine…Anyway is the Dragon inside the Boosted Gear still sleeping?'
{Not really he's just getting use to things and looking through what's happened while not being awake}
'Hello Dragon-san?' Yukio thought out hoping for a reply from he Boosted Gear only to get a tired yawn from before a voice spoke up
[Hello…Seems I have an interesting host]
'Nice to finally talk to you, what's your name?' Yukio mentally asked as he started to eat to two slices of toast that was his breakfast as he rushed out the house.
[I'm Ddraig…The Welsh Dragon] He introduced himself
{I'm Sparda and this is Yukio} Sparda introduced himself and Yukio, who smiled as the Dragon seemed surprised
{Yukio…I will have to start training you with that reiatsu you unleashed from Amonusen…Although you seemed to use it naturally to coat the clothe} Sparda decided as Yukio approached the school
'That's the beam thing I used as well? I was only running on instincts' Yukio asked curious
{Yes…It'll take the form of whatever you want it to with enough willpower although the beam you used is known as Cero}
…
"Oh, you came" Rias spoke as Yukio entered the clubroom, just finishing off a piece of toast as he smiled, swallowing his mouth full of food before speaking
"Good Morning Buchou"
"Good Morning, Yukio" Rias replied with a smile before asking
"How are you feeling, you seemed drained yesterday" Yukio smiled as he stretched his arms before speaking
"I feel better…" Yukio sat down opposite her as he decided to ask something that had been bugging him
"Umm, Buchou? If there are eight Pawns in chess does that mean that there would be 7 other Pawns beside me? So will there be a day when another Pawn joins?" Rias shaking her head in response to his question as she answered
"No, the only "Pawn" I will have is Yukio" Yukio gulped nervously as he found his cheeks tinge pink as she continued
"When reincarnating a human to a Devil, we use the Evil Pieces, but it depends on the reincarnated person's ability, and therefore it may consume more chess pieces." Yukio eyes widened as he had a feeling he knew where she was going as she continued
"There's a saying in the world of chess. Queens have a value of 9 Pawns. Rooks have a value of 5 Pawns. Knights and Bishops have a value of 3 Pawns each. Just like that, there are standard values that also apply to the Evil Pieces. A similar phenomenon happens to the reincarnated persons. There are people who require 2 Knight Pieces to be reincarnated, and also people who need 2 Rook Pieces to be reincarnated. There's also the compatibility of the Pieces as well. You can't use 2 separate Pieces to give them different roles, so it's important to think how to use the Pieces. Since you don't get new Pieces once you use it."
"So…you used all eight of your "Pawn" pieces on me when you resurrected me?" Yukio asked, Rias nodding as she smiled
"Yes…I decided to definitely make you my servant when I found that out, and given both of your powerful Sacred Gears…I understand why you were worth so much. And with the fact you've got the ability "Promotion" as a Pawn it makes you a powerful servant."
"Our matching is also great since its crimson and red, 'Crimson-Hair Ruin-Princess' and 'Red-Dragon-Emperor's Gauntlet'. Yukio, first of all, aim to become the ultimate 'Pawn'. If it's you, you can definitely do it. Because you are my adorable Servant" Rias spoke with a bright smile as she moved her face closer to Yukio's, the silver haired teen blushing nervously as he wondered what his master was going to do until she kissed him on the forehead before speaking
"This is a good luck charm. Get stronger, okay?"
Yukio nodded shakily as he heard both Sparda and Ddraig chuckling inside his head as his attention was brought back to Rias
"I probably should stop here for now, adoring you. The new girl will get jealous of me…" Yukio looked confused at her for a moment before turning his head to the new yet familiar voice in the room
"Yukio-san?" He smiled as he looked at Asia, who was trying to smile
"Hey Asia?"A small part of him wondered if she was mad about something as she spoke
"It has to be... Rias-buchou is very beautiful, so even Yukio-san will also... No, no! I can't think like that! Oh God. Please forgive my sinful heart." Asia spoke before she made a prayer, quickly screaming "ouch" from the holy damage she took before speaking.
"I have a headache."
"Of course. If a Devil praises God, of course you will receive damage." Rias said normally before Asia spoke up slightly troubled
"That's right... I turned into a Devil. I can't face God anymore."
"Do you regret it?" Rias asked Asia, the former nun shook her head as she answered
"No, thank you very much. I'm happy as long as I am with Yukio-san, so I'm fine even if I'm a different person." Yukio blushed embarrassed from her reply, scratching the back of his head as Rias spoke up
"If so, then it's okay. From today, you will be my Servant, and I will make you work along with Yukio."
"Yes! I will do my best!" Asia replied very energetically, Yukio knowing that she would be handing out the leaflets first, a small part wondering whether she would be alright or not before his eyes finally widened as he noticed the difference in his appearance as he spoke
"Asia, you've joined our school" Asia smiled shyly as she did a quick spin as she asked
"Yes…Does it suit me?" Yukio nodded, finding she looked cute in the uniform as he replied with a smile
"Yeah…" Asia blush from Yukio's reply, not fully sure how to react, as Rias spoke up
"Since she is about the same age as you, she's also in the 2nd year. Since I made it her first day transferring, make sure to look after her." Yukio nodded understandingly, figuring he should look out for her as Asia bowed her head as she spoke up
"I will be in your care, Yukio-san."
"Don't worry I'll look after you, Asia" Yukio replied with a smile as Yuuto, Koneko and Akeno entered, each greeting them.
"Good morning, Buchou, Yukio-kun, Asia-san"
"…Good morning, Buchou, Yukio-sempai, Asia-sempai"
"How are you all doing, Buchou, Yukio-kun, Asia-san?"
Rias stood up as she spoke "Since everyone is here, shall we start the party?"
She clicked her fingers and a big cake appeared on the table as she added in a shy tone "It might be god sometimes to gather in the morning to do these kinds of things, right? Since we got new members, I made some cake, so let's eat everyone"

Author's Notes
Another chapter and I hope the fights are good seeing as I'm using the Boosted Gear to help make Yukio strong enough to use Amonusen for now, although I'm not sure whether I'm using Cero right either (Not seen Bleach outside of a few fights to get a rough knowledge for things).
Anyway hope you enjoy it and all reviews are welcome.
