KAIGAN!
Chapter 2: A New Day a New Ripper
Within the Occult Research Club of Kuoh Academy, Rias was prepping things ready for their newest member.
"So you decided to move the Morningstar boy to our school? You must've been busy." Akeno asked as she watched Rias set up a welcome banner. "To think he has such power."
"It was quite a surprise, but thanks to that small spirit he was able to use it." The Gremory Devil replied.
"Ah yes, the cute little ghost. She seemed very knowledgeable about the supernatural. I take it he'll need the usual training?"
"That'd be helpful Akeno, he didn't seem great in hand to hand but was somehow adequate in using that chain whip." She confirmed.
"I'll notify Yuuto then, hopefully this new blood can handle a sword." Akeno smiled.
"Thank you," She thanked before her expression changed. "Also could you keep an eye out for any spiritual related activity, they may relate to these Eyecons Lucifer's been tasked with finding."
"As you wish." Akeno bowed before she left.
It was three days after the fight against the Neo-Ganma. Lucifer and Lindsay were given their own apartment in Japan nearby the school.
"I hate these stupid uniforms…" Lucifer groaned as he tugged at the collar of his uniform. His uniform consisted of a black and white jacket with black trousers. He still had his purple shirt underneath it as well as his gloves and glasses on. "I'm not gonna get used to these."
"Lindsay come on! We're gonna be late!" He called out. Lindsay came out of her room in the girls' uniform, the same as Rias.
"Ready!" She cheered as she came out.
"Well you two look good." Nero puffed out of green smoke. "Excited?"
"Yep! It feels good to get out of that crumby orphanage." Lindsay smiled.
"Good to hear. Hey Lindsay, think you could wait outside while I have a quick talk with Nero?" She nodded and walked outside into the hallway.
"So, what do ya wanna talk about?" Nero flew around his head.
"I wanted to see if you could search around the city, you a spirit so you can sense supernatural stuff right?"
"Yeah, I can. Gives me a reason to sight see the place. I'll even ask the local ghosts, specters and poltergeists if they've seen anything."
"Well, any help is appreciated." Lucifer patted the spirit on the head.
"I'll be off then!" She puffed away, leaving smoke in the half Devil's face.
"*Sigh* Let's get going then." He grabbed his school bag and he and his sister made their way to school. Upon reaching it, Lucifer had to make sure his glasses didn't fall off, the place almost looked regal.
"Damn…..and Rias' brother owns this place?" Lucifer said as he looked over the building.
"Does that mean he's a Devil too?" Lindsay whispered.
"Most likely." Lucifer patted her shoulder. "Now get going, I'll see ya after school." She nodded and ran off.
Lucifer shook his head with a chuckle and walked into the gates. He then noticed the huge amount of girls that seemed to overpopulate the boys. Many girls from all around the world were there and little to no guys.
He entered to High school division and made his way to his classroom. Inside it had only a few students and no teacher yet.
"Ooh, window seat, nice." He took a seat and removed his sun glasses. Lucifer looked around his classroom, the guys were talking amongst themselves but with his new heightened senses he could hear very lewd and perverted things. 'Typical.'
"Hey! You're in my seat!" A voice barked at him. The young Devil looked at where and saw a boy with brown hair and eyes. He had the same uniform and a red shirt underneath.
"Oh, is that so?" Lucifer leaned back farther into the chair. "I think it's my seat now cause I got here first."
"It's my seat! It's the best in the class!" He pointed outside to where a class of girls were doing gym class. "It has the best view of their 'goods'." He emphasised the last part.
"Oh okay." Now Lucifer was feeling immense anger built up, he gripped his gloved hand into a fist and stood up. "Listen here Pervert, there's about ten other empty desks. So go pick one before I throw you into one."
"And leave my seat to some newbie?! Fat chance!" He huffed. "I'll pull you outta it!"
"Oh will you now?!" Lucifer's dark red eyes glared into the boy's brown. "Try it short stuff, and I'll give you hell."
There seemed to be sparks flying between them before the teacher came in. "Alright class, sit down."
The boy growled before he marched off, but not without taking one last look at Lucifer, who gave him a taunting wave as he sat back down. The teacher then began the class.
School had ended by now, classes had been the typical things you'd learn at school, English and Maths before break, Geography then Science with Art being after lunch.
Lucifer had finished packing his stuff and was ready to leave. "You're Lucifer Morningstar, correct?"
The young half Devil looked at the new voice which came from a young blonde boy that all the girls seemed to be fawning over.
"Uh yes, I am. Who are you?"
"My name is Yuuto Kiba." He introduced. "I'm here to bring you to Buchou."
"Oh, you're with Rias?" The blonde nodded. "Well lead the way buddy." Yuuto smiled before he motioned for Lucifer to follow. As they walked through the school, Lucifer noticed how all the girls were staring at Yuuto. "If I had to guess you're their knight in shining armour?"
"Something like yes." The blonde sighed. "But it does come with some perks."
The two made their way to an old building that seemed on the outskirts of the school. "Huh, creepy building. Makes sense really." Lucifer couldn't help but joke. Yuuto rolled his eyes and the two entered.
The inside was barely lit, and overall very creepy. "Welcome Lucifer." He looked to voice and saw Akeno.
"Oh, you're the one that was shooting lightning right?" Lucifer guessed.
"My name's Akeno." She giggled and bowed. "Rias will be here in a moment, so you have us to be acquainted with."
"Oh okay," Lucifer then looked around the room. "Wasn't there someone else, that small girl?"
"Hi." Lucifer jumped as the small girl snuck up on him. "I'm Koneko."
"Hiya…" Lucifer took in deep breaths. "Don't sneak up on me, for Chr-!" He tried saying a certain word but something in his throat wasn't letting him. "The hell? Why can't I say Je….Je…?"
"Since we're Devils we're not allowed to say holy language." Akeno said, which Lucifer understood.
"Um, why do you call Rias Buchou?" Lucifer asked the three members.
"It's sort of a term of respect. It means president, which makes sense considering she's the president of the club we hide behind." Yuuto explained.
"Oh, that does make sense." Lucifer shrugged. It was then Rias entered the room. "Hm, well speak of the Devil."
"And she will arrive, totally haven't heard that one before." The red head sighed, but then gained a soft smile. "But now that we're all here, we can officially begin business."
"Uh, what kinda business?" Lucifer asked as the other three members stood beside their leader, with Rias taking a seat. 'I don't like where this is going…'
"Training." Rias' soft smile turned into a smirk. "I noticed the way you fought that Neo-Ganma, it was rough, mostly the hand to hand parts."
"Well….yeah," He rubbed the back of his neck. "I rarely got into fist fights, but you have to admit I kicked that things ass with my chain whip."
"That's the point. If you were to lose that mid fight you'd be defenceless." Rias pointed out.
"Yeah that makes sense," Lucifer sighed but then rubbed his hands together. "Right then, what's first?"
"Well hand to hand obviously, with Koneko being you teacher." She motioned to the small Devil.
"Um…what?"
Nero hummed to herself as she flew around the city. She'd seen most of the city and hadn't detected anything connected to the Neo-Ganma.
"Even if I haven't found anything, this is a beautiful city." She said to herself. As she flew she noticed a pair of ghosts on the roof that seemed to be sunbathing?
"Maybe they've seen something…" She flew down to the roof and the two noticed her. "Hiya fellas."
"Oh would ya look at that, never thought I'd see another spirit around these parts." The first ghost said with a Texan accent. "Howdy stranger."
"Um, howdy. I was wondering if you guys have seen anything spiritual lately." She said.
"Ah-ha-ha! Of course we have fair maiden." The other ghost said, this one sounding medieval. "We're ghosts! Oh where are my manners? I am Edward the Black Prince, this is my friend Buffalo Bill."
"Oh great, where have you sensed it?" She inquired.
"Oh, well last I'd remember there was a huge spiritual energy spike down by them docks over by the east." Buffalo Bill answered.
"Ah yes, it felt like immense power," Edward continued on. "Almost as strong as one of the fifteen Luminary Eyecons I'd say, though I've never been near one."
"Great! Thanks guys!" Nero waved at them before she flew off.
"Nice little lass." Buffalo Bill sighed as he laid back down.
"Tis nice to see more spirits around, was getting quite lonely." Edward added. "Why are we sunbathing? We cannot gain a 'tan' as the modern age calls it."
"Beats doing nothing partner," The two relaxed again.
"ARG! I think you twisted my spine three times!" Lucifer laid on the ground in utter pain. Koneko had her arms crossed with little paw mittens.
"Come on, get up." She said, tapping her foot impatiently.
"I don't think I can, I think you broke everything." He groaned and looked at Rias. "How is she so strong?!"
"She's our Rook, the tank of our household." She explained. Lucifer groaned more and flipped himself onto his back, getting a not so nice crack.
He pushed himself up, which got more painful cracks to be heard. "We've already proven I suck at this, can we stop?"
Koneko was about to answer, but a puff of green smoke interrupted them. "Hi, I'm back!"
"Oh, the small spirit's back." Koneko said with her usual deadpan.
"Didn't expect you back so soon." Lucifer cracked his back one last time that made him feel better. "Find anything?"
"Yes actually! I ran into a pair of very friendly ghosts that told me there was a HUGE burst of spiritual energy at the east side docks." She informed.
"The east side docks, that's rather convenient." Rias spoke up, which confused the two ghosts.
"Why?"
"Because we were going to head there to erase a Stray Devil."
"Wait, what's a Stray Devil?" Lucifer asked rubbing his jaw.
"A Stray Devil are Devils who go against their master, which is a point of no return." Nero answered.
"Correct….Either to fulfil their own desires or want to break free to cause havoc. For us, it's our job to track and destroy and Strays." Rias stood up from her chair, and walked to the lounge with the other members following.
"So wait, we're all going?" Lucifer asked as he also followed.
"Yes, this may be the best chance for some hands on training." They all stopped in the middle of the room.
"Isn't there a chance I could get hurt though….or worse, killed?" He gulped.
"Maybe. We're not as immortal as people think we are." Rias said bluntly.
"Fantastic, first I die to an evil spirit killing me and now something else will probably kill me…" He grumbled. "Goodie…"
"There's nothing for you to worry about Lucifer," Rias smiled. "As long as you're in my household I'll never let you die again."
"Rias is right you know." Akeno giggled. "Rias cares for anything and anyone within her household." She patted Lucifer's shoulder.
"Alright, let's rock and roll!" Lucifer dramatically slipped on his sunglasses. Rias' hand glowed red and soon did the symbol they were standing glowed too. And in a flash, the group was gone.
Deep within the forest near Kuoh Park, the masked man from before was standing in front of a giant eye symbol with multiple tentacles drawn into the dirt.
The man reached into his cloak and pulled out a lightning rod. He placed it on the ground next to him before he pulled something else out, leather worker's glove with blades on each finger. It's essentially like the glove of Freddy Krueger.
He slipped it onto his right hand while he took off the glove on his left hand. And with no hesitation, he sliced his palm with one of the finger blades. Blood leaked out and he made some drip onto the eye symbol. The symbol started to glow an ominous red as he placed the lightning rod directly in the middle of it before pulling back on his other glove. There were no sounds of pain, but an eerie silence.
"Arise dark forces, take shape from history and summon a spirit for my bidding. Come to me Neo-Ganma!" All the glow from the eye symbol flowed into the lightning rod as it morphed into a Parka Damashii. A Ganma Assault emerged from the symbol as the Damashii planted itself onto it.
"What is your command?" The Neo-Ganma asked, his voice sounding similar to a mad scientist.
"There is a boy with the Reaper Eyecon. He seeks to find the fifteen Dreaded, with one of them already awoken. Put him and the rest of those Devils out of their misery and bring me the Eyecon." He instructed. "Go, Franken Ganma."
"As you command Master Legion!" The Franken Ganma raised his right hand, which seemed much bulkier than his left, and disappeared in a flash of lightning.
Legion looked down at his blade glove, noticing there was still blood dripping from the one blade. So he gave it a light shake to rid it off. "A foolish child does not deserve such spiritual power."
At the east side docks, a red glow outside died down with the Gremory Household being teleported.
"Aw, bleh…" Lucifer groaned grasping his stomach. "Oh that did not feel nice."
"You'll get used to it." Yuuto reassured with a smile.
"Now, it's best that we split up to search for the Stray." Rias turned to the younger members. "Koneko and Yuuto, you go with Lucifer and search the warehouse." They nodded. "And Lucifer, if needed I'll allow you to be promoted to Rook or Knight."
"I….what? Promote? How do I do that?"
"Think of it like a reflex. You can call out to the Evil Piece within you and announce your change. After that it'll give you powers of said piece." Akeno explained.
"Oh, I get it." He nodded, but deep down still had barely a clue.
"Let's go…" Koneko said as she and the other two Devils made their way inside the warehouse.
Rias sighed and leaned against a streetlight. "You're worried aren't you?" Akeno noticed and asked.
"He just seems so nervous, maybe this was a mistake." She answered.
"He just started," Akeno put her hand on the red head's shoulder. "Give him time and he'll be at ease."
"I hope you're right."
Inside the warehouse the three Devils sneaked their way through the dark halls. As the group ventured further into the building, they noticed scratch marks, dents and even what looked like melted metal.
"Seems like a rave gone wrong." Lucifer commented.
"Just focus Greenhorn." Koneko said, keeping her gaze forward.
"You don't gotta be rude about it." Lucifer said annoyed. "Wait, why'd you call me Greenhorn?"
"Because you're new, and a coward." She said coldly.
"Hey, I'm still tryna adjust to this crap!" He shot back. "It's not exactly easy knowing I have to fight evil ghosts! Weren't you the same when you first became a Devil?"
"Rias saved me." She glared at him. "I was nothing like you."
"Now-now, let's not get into any unneeded fights." Yuuto got in between the two and slightly pushed them back. "Koneko, you and I both know what it felt like to become a newly resurrected Devil. Even after what we went through."
"Learn your place Greenhorn…" Koneko walked ahead.
"Some strange feeling inside tells me that she doesn't like me all that much." Lucifer sarcastically said.
"She'll warm up to you eventually." Yuuto sighed.
"The right question is when." The orange haired sighed.
"It took me a good year before she got used to me." The Knight pointed out.
"Great, that's so reassuring buddy." He only patted Lucifer's shoulder.
"If anything, I think that Rias chose a great new member." The Pawn smiled at his words and gave a light punch to his shoulder.
"Hey boys," Koneko whispered barely loud as she looked around a corner. "Found it."
The two silently moved up and also looked around, and Lucifer almost threw up. In the room was a fairly large devilish monster. Its body was scaly like a lizard with long claws on its hands and a lizard like tale. Its head was horse skull with razor sharp teeth and a pair of antlers.
The most disgusting thing though was that it seemed to be eating dead humans.
"That…..is disgusting…" Lucifer got out. "Why does it look like that?" He then noticed that Yuuto brought a sword from outta nowhere. "Where-how-why! I give up."
"You two handle the legs. I'll bring it down." Koneko ordered before she charged in.
"Wait!" She didn't listen and neither did Yuuto as they both charged at the Stray. "Gr! How do I summon that damn belt?! Nero!"
Said small ghost puffed in front of him. "Yo."
"How do I summon that belt thing? How do I get it on my waist?"
"Oh easy, just do a hand motion."
"What hand motion smart ass?!"
"I dunno, snap you fingers or something." She said before she puffed away.
"Snap my…" He snapped his finger and the Ghost Driver blazed onto his waist. "That works." He grinned and pulled out the Reaper Eyecon, before pressing the button and placing it in the Driver.
EYE! BATCHIRIMIYA! BATCHIRIMIYA!
Lucifer and his Damashii charged in. Just as the Stray was about to strike Yuuto with its claw the Damashii swooped by and bashed it in the skull, causing it growl.
"Why don't ya come at me skull face? Henshin!" He pulled the lever out and in.
KAIGAN! REAPER!
The small orbs collected around him and formed into his Transient Form. The Damashii hit the Stray a few more times before it planted itself on Lucifer.
SHALL WE GO! KAKUGO! SHINIGAMI GHOST!
He pulled down the hood and pointed at the Stray. "Listen up ugly, it's time for judgment!"
GAN GUN PUNISHER!
His Punisher appeared in his hands, and he charged at the Stray and joined the fight with Yuuto and Koneko. The Knight took one slash at a leg which spewed blood while the Pawn sent out the chain that wrapped around the other leg. He glowed a light purple and floated backwards, and with all his strength, pulled the Stray down.
The Stray roared as it tried to push itself up. Koneko ran up and jumped on its back, striking its scaly back, scales and blood erupted off. It noticed her and grabbed her off its back, slamming her into the wall.
"Koneko!" The other Devils called out.
"Just kill it already! I'll be fine!" She gritted through her teeth as she tried to release herself from the Stray's grip.
"Yuuto, what do we do?! She's in the crossfire!"
"I'll distract it, you see if you can free her!" The blonde said and then charged to side which got its attention. It turned from the wall with Koneko still in its hand and spat acid at the other Devils.
"It spits acid?!" Lucifer got out before he floated out of the way. When he landed he swung the Punisher again with the chain grown longer, and as it was about to hit the Stray spun its head around and snapped its jaws around the chain. "Oh crud…"
The Stray then began to rock back and forth like a rodeo which also swung Lucifer around. "Get me off this crazy thing!"
With a few more swings Lucifer couldn't keep his grip any longer and was thrown into a wall. The Punisher's chain still in the Stray's mouth.
"Well isn't that just dandy…" He groaned and fell down to one knee. Yuuto was still trying to get Koneko out of the Stray's grasp. "And I lost my weapon, what do I do?"
A glow came from the Ghost Driver and two objects flew out. What came were two handguns that flew into his hands, they were both black with purple engravings and markings.
GAN GUN EBONY!
GAN GUN IVORY!
"Guns huh?" He looked over each hand gun. "These'll do." He took a running start at the Stray and blasted at it with purple energy bullets.
That seemed to get the Stray's attention just as it whipped away Yuuto with its tail. It roared and tried to smash him with its free fist, but the Rider jumped out the way and continued to blast. The Stray tried to bite Lucifer with its jaws but the Rider fell to the ground, avoiding the razor sharp teeth, and stuck the barrel of Ivory under its chin and shot straight into its head.
The Stray roared in pain and started to stumble backwards. "I like these!"
He then noticed that both guns had the same eye symbol in front of the hammers, so he pointed both at the eye in the Driver.
DAI KAIGAN!
GAN-GAN MIYA! GAN-GAN MIYA! GAN-GAN MIYA!
The purple eye seal appeared behind Lucifer as he spun the guns around his fingers and aimed at the arm holding Koneko. He pulled both triggers.
OMEGA JACKPOT!
He fired two massive purple bullets that caught the Stray off guard as it ripped through its arm and tore it off. The arm fell to the ground as the Stray tumbled into a wall.
"You alright?" Yuuto asked as he and Lucifer were unwrapping the fingers around the girl's body.
"I thought I told you to kill it…" She groaned.
"And if we did that you might've died." Lucifer countered. "It's like Rias said, we need to look out for each other."
The petite girl sighed and held up her hand. "Are you gonna help me up?"
"I got guns in my hands," Yuuto chuckled at his response hand helped up Koneko. "Now let's kill this thing."
Suddenly the Stray roared and charged at the trio. The Knight and Rook dodged out of the way, but Lucifer wasn't as lucky as the Stray's antlers pinned him to the wall. He lost grip of Ivory while the hand holding Ebony was pinned and unmovable.
The other two Devils tried to advance to help, but the Stray started to swing its tail back and forth. "We need to help somehow!" Yuuto gritted his teeth.
Koneko looked for an opening, but instead found a small glimmer on the floor. She picked it up to see an old, but in good condition, knife.
"This could work. Greenhorn, catch!" She threw the knife as it sailed through the air to towards Lucifer. He raised his free hand and caught it, while kicking away the Stray's tongue.
"If you wanna lick me you gotta get to know me first!" Lucifer plunged the knife into the top of the Stray's head that made it throw its head back and launch him back over to the other Devils. "Thanks…"
"Can we finish this now?" Koneko annoyingly asked as she pulled up the Rider by the hood of his Damashii.
"Alright fine…" Lucifer groaned as made his guns disappear and handed the knife to Yuuto. "I'm gonna kick this thing through the wall, let's do this." He pulled the lever out and in.
DAI KAIGAN!
"For your crimes against the living, I sentence you to death once more!" He rolled his neck as the eye symbol appeared behind him and flowed to his right leg. "Devil Breaker!"
REAPER OMEGA DRIVE!
The Stray began to charge again at the three Devils. Just at the right moment Lucifer kicked his leg forward and hit the Stray in the chest, the force of the attack sending it through the wall and back outside, landing a few feet away from Rias and Akeno.
"Told you they could do it." Akeno giggled.
"So it would seem," Rias smiled. "It look like I found a good Pawn." She snapped her fingers and a blast of red energy destroyed the Stray.
"Wow," Lucifer whistled. "She's definitely strong." He shook his wrist.
"Buchou is Gremory after all." Yuuto shrugged and handed back the knife. "You okay?" He asked Koneko.
"A little sore, but thanks." She answered. She then noticed that Lucifer was twirling the knife in his hand. "You're not seriously going to keep that are you?"
"I don't see why not, might come on handy."
"How? It's old and rusted." She questioned.
"Aw I can get some polish and make this baby look good as new." He chucked it up and caught it by the blade. "Though you're right about the old, looks like it's from the 1800s."
"I must say, quite a good first hunt." Rias said as she walked up to them.
"Yeah. Not gonna lie though, seeing that almost made me throw up." He pointed to the splats of blood and dead humans in the warehouse.
"You'll get used to it, we can get someone to clean those up anyway." She put her hand on his shoulder.
"O-okay." He pulled out the Eyecon and made his armour disappear. "But at least I got this nifty little souvenir."
"Aw, how cute." Akeno teased. Lucifer chuckled as they all left through another seal.
The sun has finally set, and Lucifer had left the knife in a cabinet on a small stand as he left the Occult Research Club's building.
As he was leaving the school grounds, Lindsay ran up and jumped onto his back. "Hiya!"
"Hey Lindsay, how was your first day?"
"Went great, some people were nice and I made some friends." She smiled.
"Well that's good to hear." She jumped off his back and the two made their way to their apartment.
"What about you?" She asked.
"All went fine, still getting used to the whole Devil thing though." He sighed. "Say, how about we get McDonald's?"
"YEAH!"
"I said get outta my seat!" Once again the brown haired boy was trying to move Lucifer from 'his' seat. The orange haired teen once again only smirked.
"You know, maybe if you were nicer I would consider giving you this seat." Lucifer shrugged with a sigh. "Like I said last time, there are other seats."
"But this is the best seat!" The brunette argued.
"Yawn," Lucifer waved off. "Maybe if you didn't spend your mornings peeping you'd get here sooner." He lowered his glasses so his eyes were slightly exposed and his eyebrow raised.
"Grr!" The brunette was pissed at the Devil, but was interrupted by the bell ringing. He groaned and moved to another seat.
"Too easy." Lucifer muttered to himself.
As the day continued on, Lucifer pondered to himself about what spirits could be in the Eyecons. "So Nero said a Hero, so that could mean anything nowadays. An actor that played a hero maybe?"
"Hey Luci!" Lindsay greeted as she jumped from behind a tree.
"Bloody hell Lindsay, you could've given me a heart attack." He joked, he then noticed a certain red head walking past, with a bunch of boys and girls fawning over her. "Hey, Rias!"
The girl turned to the siblings and smiled with a wave. "Lucifer, Lindsay, good to see you two. What's new with you?"
"Nothing really, just hanging out. You?" He asked.
"I was about to head to the club room to meet with the others and discus some things." She then bent down to reach Lindsay's height. "You wanna come along too, meet your brother's new friends?"
"You didn't tell me you made new friends!" Lindsay pouted at the older sibling.
"I didn't feel like it." He smirked at her. "Come on, we'll show you where I'm mostly gonna hang out after school."
The three then headed to the club room, meeting up with Koneko, Akeno and Yuuto along the way. While Rias was getting the keys to unlock the door, Lindsay looked over the building creeped out.
"Why does it have to be so creepy looking?"
"It's an Occult Research Club," Koneko said as if it was the most obvious thing. "What else would it look like?"
"I don't like her…" Lindsay whispered to her brother. Rias had finally opened the door and as they all entered the lounge they noticed something weird all over the walls.
"I…..is that blood?" Lindsay cowered as she watched the red liquid drip down. Rias walked up to one of the walls and took some onto her finger.
"No it's not blood, it's….." She licked it off her finger and gained an even more confused look. "Ketchup?"
"Well sorry if I couldn't find any bottled blood in this dump!" Everyone jumped and looked around the room before they noticed something lurking in the shadowed corner. It was the same as Takeru, the whole body being black with an eye symbol on his chest, but it's what he wore that confused everyone.
He wore a black parka that looked like a trench coat with red lining on the edges. He also had two top hats on the shoulders and red eyes.
"Is that another one of those mean ghosts?" Lindsay hid behind Lucifer.
"Such pretty girls," He picked up the knife from the cabinet. "I bet you got some beautiful insides!" He charged at the group with murderous intent, and the Devils were about to defend themselves, but a sudden purple barrier knocked him over. "Ow my fucking face!"
"What is that thing?" Koneko looked over the spectral body. "A Ganma?"
"Uh Nero?" Said spirit puffed next to Lucifer's head. "Who's this guy?"
Nero floated forward and examined the thing in front of them. "Oh my god….you actually found one."
"Found what?" Lucifer grabbed Nero by her cape and held her in front of his face. "Spill it already!"
"This is one of the fifteen you're supposed to find, he's the murder!" She squealed like a fan girl.
"So my fame seems to follow me." The spirit sat himself up and looked at the Devils. "Let me piece it together for you. I am the famed Whitechapel killer, the writer of the Letter from Hell, and the one who got away."
"Hold on are you….?" Yuuto was interrupted by the spirit swiftly raising his hand.
"I am the greatest killer to stalk the streets of London, I am Jack the Ripper." He did a curtsy bow. "Now can someone tell me where I am and why I can't stab you right now?"He pressed his hands against the barrier.
"I'll ask the questions," Rias stepped in front of her peerage. "Firstly how did you get in our club room?"
Jack only huffed and sat down on one of the sofas, putting his legs up on the coffee table. "Beats me, I just woke up here. Got bored so I wanted to draw the walls in blood, and imagine my disappointment when I found out a group of Devils doesn't have bottled up blood anywhere. By the way, you gonna need some more tomato sauce."
"Wait, if you're actually Jack the Ripper does that mean you can tell us who you were?" Lucifer asked and the others agreed.
"I don't see why not," Jack sighed and rolled his shoulders. "Back in life my real name was…um my name…uh….you know it's been so long I kinda forgot."
"How do you forget your own name?" Lindsay face chuckled.
"Oh well sorry if being dead for two hundred years means all I remember is my other name. At least I don't have some ridiculous name like Lucifer." This made Lucifer gain a confused look.
"How do you know my name?"/"How do I know your name?" They asked at the same time.
Nero cleared her throat to gain both their attention. "Well it's simple really, it started when Lucifer first touched your historical object."
"My what?"
"I think she means your knife." Akeno pointed at the blade still in his hand.
"Anyway, when he first touched your knife the spiritual energy of the Reaper must've awoken yours and made you into a Damashii." Nero theorised.
"Well, any help is welcomed when fighting the Neo-Ganma. Whaddya say?" Lucifer offered his hand to shake the spirit's hand, but Jack just scoffed and stood up.
"Not interested kid," He walked back to the cabinet and placed the knife on the stand. "I don't help people, I only help myself." He sat back down and kicked his feet up. "So, tough luck I guess."
The group of Devils circled up and whispered to each other. "So, what do we do?" Lucifer started.
"Well you can't force him, he is a free spirit." Nero said.
"There must be some way to convince him maybe?" Yuuto guessed.
"No one knew much about Jack the Ripper's interests." Koneko deadpanned. "Maybe we can offer him to kill the human." Lucifer and Lindsay both glared at her. "It's called a joke."
"We're not going to let him kill any humans." Rias turned to the little spirit. "Nero, is there a way we can make him work with us."
"Not that I know of, when the original three Riders summoned a Damashii the spirit would have to see if they were worthy enough." She answered.
"Hey you lot," The peerage looked over to Jack, who was looking out the club house's window. "You wouldn't happen to be expecting any spirits coming here would ya?"
"No, why?" Rias asked as everyone moved up to the window.
"Well, cause this bloke's here." He pointed outside and everyone gasped. Outside was a Ganma with a white lab coat as a Damashii, one of his eyes were bigger than the other and he had electric coils on his back. His right arm was more bulky and chunkier than his left and seemed to have electricity flowing through it. "Dr Frankenstein rip off much?"
"Devils!" The Franken Ganma yelled with a mad scientist voice. "Give me the spirits of the Reaper and Jack the Ripper or else!"
"You are not allowed in this area, this is the Devil Faction's property. Leave at once!" Rias narrowed her eyes at the Ganma. The Franken Ganma only chuckled evilly, which angered the Gremory Devil more. "Akeno."
The second in command nodded and blasted a bolt of lightning at the Neo-Ganma. His only response was to raise his right arm and absorbed the electricity, the coils on his back pumping in and out. This shocked the Devils as they watched the Franken Ganma grow stronger.
"Who wants to try now?!" It taunted. Yuuto pulled out his sword, Koneko put on her gloves and Lucifer summoned his Driver. The Ganma scoffed and reached into his lab coat, taking out a bunch of Eyecons that looked more like real eyes. He threw them up and they all formed into ghoulish soldiers that wore black hoodies, silver boots and a silver ribcage. They also had short silver swords.
"Since when can they do that?!" Lucifer exaggerated.
"They always could….." Nero sighed.
"Akeno, get Lindsay to safety and get back here as soon as you can." The Queen nodded at Rias' orders and led Lindsay to the door before they ran to the school. "Yuuto, Koneko, you're with me taking care of the Commandos. Lucifer,"
"Already got it boss." Lucifer pulled out the Reaper Eyecon and clicked the button.
"Attack them!" The Franken Ganma yelled. The Commandos moaned and charged. The Devils jumped out the windows of the clubhouse while Jack just leaned on the window and watched.
EYE! BATCHIRIMIYA! BATCHIRIMIYA!
KAIGAN! REAPER!
Transient formed around Lucifer as he ran through the crowd of Commandos, punching any that got to close. "Henshin!"
The Damashii struck the Franken Ganma once before it flew over to Lucifer and planted itself on him.
SHALL WE GO! KAKUGO! SHINIGAMI GHOST!
Lucifer pulled the hood just in time to dodge a punch from the bulkier fist. "And now, it's time for judgment!"
He threw a hook at the Ganma's face that made it stumble back. He was about to punch again, but the Ganma caught his fist and started to crush it. As the Ganma crushed his hand, it made Lucifer fall down to one knee.
GAN GUN EBONY!
One of Lucifer's guns appeared in his free hand and he blasted a few shots into the Ganma's stomach. He let go of his hand as Lucifer kept unloading bullets into his body. The Ganma growled and made an electrical shield that stopped the bullets and held them in place. He grasped the bulkier hand into a fist which seemed to redirect the energy bullets back towards Lucifer.
The bullets made sparks bleed from his suit and drop his gun. "Surrender yourself, or die!" He grabbed Lucifer by his helmet and channelled electricity from his coils into the Rider's body, causing him to yell in pain.
The Franken Ganma kept channelling electricity through the Rider's body until a spear of ice struck his shoulder. The Ganma pulled back in pain as Akeno helped up Lucifer. "Oh my, seems that I arrived in the nick of time."
"Lindsay, is she alright?" He asked with concern.
"Perfectly safe in her next class. The main school building is protected so nothing else can get in." She assured.
"All right then, let's kill this ass!" Akeno nodded and channelled fire in her hands while Lucifer charged at the Ganma again.
Meanwhile inside the Occult Research Club, the soul of Jack the Ripper stall leaned on the window and watched the fight. "Those kids obviously don't know when they've lost."
"And that's why they're the right people for the job." This new voice made Jack turn around to see Takeru standing by the cabinet.
"And just who're you mate?"Jack asked him.
"My name is Takeru Tenkuji, Kamen Rider Ghost. I'm here to have a talk with you." He said.
Jack only huffed. "Lemme guess, you're gonna try to convince me to 'do the right thing' and 'fight for the greater good' aren't you?" He sneered.
"No, actually." This made Jack tilt his head slightly.
"Then what?"
"I know you are one of the most famous killers in history. So I'm guessing since you're revived now you want to go do what you do best."
"I thought about it…"
"But here's the thing, if you go into town and start to kill the humans than that will attract unwanted attention and I'd have to deal with you." That made Jack gulp. "But there is another way to fuel your blood lust."
Takeru walked over to the window and pointed at the Ganma. "See those spirits? Each time a Ganma dies they come back, over and over again, you know what that means?"
"Unlimited killing…"He sounded way too excited. "What's the catch? There's always a catch."
"You need to work with the boy," Takeru pointed at Lucifer, who just got shocked by the Franken Ganma. Koneko ran in and tried to punch it, but the no avail. "He needs you, as well as fourteen others, to fight against the Ganma."
Jack just strummed his fingers against the window frame with an anxious growl. "Oh alright I'm in! How could pass such a fun chance?!"
Jack turned into a flash of light and soared out the window. Takeru only lightly chuckled to himself. "You always were the persuader." Nero said as she flew over to him.
"I'm not a persuader, just a history lover." He said before he walked into another portal.
Back outside, the team of Devils were barely holding their own against the Ganma. "This is what the great Gremory Peerage is? A bunch of weaklings?!"
"Shut up!" Rias fired a red beam at the Ganma, which actually seemed to hurt it. It growled and summoned a few more Commandos as they skulked towards them. "Great…"
Koneko punched a few while Yuuto slashed at them, which turned them to black dust. Lucifer was trying to punch the Franken Ganma, but it only dodged or shocked him in retaliation.
"You cannot win, Master Legion will have the Dreaded Eyecons!" He shouted with more electricity in his arm.
'Legion? Who's that?' Lucifer thought to himself. It seemed that things were about to be a loss, if not for a small object that flew through the sky and struck a few Commandos and the Franken before flying to Lucifer. "Jack?"
"So I decided to join," He sighed. "But only because I found a nice loophole. These Ganma come back after each death right, so that means unlimited murder!" He laughed.
"Well, for whatever reason, it's good to have you on our side." Lucifer held out his hand as the object landed on it, showing it to be a red and black Eyecon. He removed the Reaper Eyecon from his Driver, which got rid of the Damashii and left him in Transient. "Let's go, Jack the Ripper!"
"It's killing time!" The spirit said from the Eyecon. He clicked the button on the side, which made the lens switch from an iris to a logo showing D1. He dropped it in and closed it.
EYE! BATCHIRIMIYA! BATCHIRIMIYA!
Coming out of the Ghost Driver was Jack's Damashii, just without the humanly part. It flew around before it made a pose with an astral image of Jack the Ripper was shown briefly.
The Damashii flew around more until Lucifer pulled the lever out and in.
KAIGAN! JACK THE RIPPER!
Jack planted himself onto Lucifer as the visor slid onto his helmet, which showed two blood red daggers crossing each other.
DAGGER SLASH-SLASH! KILLER IN THE NIGHT!
The red on his visor glowed and so did his Driver as another weapon ejected out, this one being a dagger.
GAN GUN DAGGER!
Lucifer held the Dagger in a reverse grip and pointed at the Ganma. "Alright, let me show you a Murder's Judgment!"
"After him!" The Franken Ganma ordered. The Commandos charged with their swords, but Lucifer either side stepped or struck back with his new Dagger. Any time he slashed or stabbed one they'd burst into black dust. "How can this be?! You weren't this strong nor fast!"
"Well it's simple. I'm using the soul of one of the deadliest people in history, I got some killer instinct!" He lunged at the Ganma with high speeds, evading any attempted punch or grab. He sliced against the Ganma's leg which made it fall down as he kneed it under the chin. The Ganma sent a volt of lightning at the Rider who back flipped to dodge the attacks.
The tops of the top hats on his shoulders opened up and red smoke poured out and obscured the Ganma's vision. He looked around the smoke, trying to find the Rider.
Then from behind Lucifer leapt from the shadows and repeatedly stabbed him in the back before pulling back to the shadows. "Show yourself, coward!" He shot a volt in a random direction.
The Ganma was then sweep kicked and fall on his back. Lucifer then slammed his boot into the Ganma's head and then picked him up by the shoulder only to stab him in the stomach. He kicked him away and went to pull the lever.
DAI KAIGAN!
Lucifer rolled his neck and got into a pose with his left arm forward while his right was behind him.
"For your crimes against the living, I sentence you to death once more!" A purple eye symbol appeared behind him with energy flowing to the Dagger. "Night Stalker!"
JACK THE RIPPER OMEGA STABBER!
Lucifer took a running start before he jumped and plunged the Dagger into the Ganma's chest, exactly where the heart would be. All the energy in the Dagger flowed into the Ganma's body. Lucifer ripped the Dagger out as the smoke disappeared, he turned around and started to walk away as the Ganma fell down and exploded, leaving a lightning rod.
Lucifer opened the Ghost Driver and pulled out the Eyecon before he shut the Driver, which deactivated his armour. "That was one hell of a ride…" He sighed and fell to his back.
A shadow loomed over him, which was revealed to be Rias. "That's my Pawn." She said with a motherly smile.
She helped the Rider up, only to grit his teeth and grab his arm. The rest of the club members walked up, who also looked a little banged up.
"Everyone alright?" He asked. They all nodded, and Rias then noticed the Eyecon.
"Seems as though his spirit decided to work alongside us." She said. The Eyecon in Lucifer's hand glowed and flew out of his hand.
"Don't flatter yourself sweetheart, I'm only here to slay those ghosts over and over and over again." He said and flew himself to lay on Lucifer's shoulder. "Shall we partner~~~?"
"Um, okay." He said a little unsure.
"Hey, where did the thing go?" Koneko got the attention of the other Devils, and pointed at the spot the Ganma blew up, with the lightning rod now being gone. "There was a lightning rod there and now it's gone."
"Someone took the catalyst." Nero said as she puffed from nowhere.
"Catalyst?" Rias inquired.
"Every Ganma needs a historical object to bond with get their power, and when they're defeated the object would normally fall to the ground." She explained.
"We can worry about that later, unless you want to think of an excuse as to why you're late for class." Rias said, which worried the three younger Devils.
"Oh shit break's almost over!" Lucifer took off into a sprint back to the school, Yuuto and Koneko not far behind.
"They do know there's still fifteen minutes left right?" Akeno giggled.
"Just thought it'd be funny." The red head smirked in response, the two then made their way to the school as well.
But little did they know, was that Legion was hidden behind a tree and stuffed the lightning rob into his cloak.
"Interesting, one down and fourteen to go. But with this Devils in my way it'll be a problem." He dug the blades of his glove into the tree bark. "Maybe it's time for a little alliance." A red glow came from within the eyes his Ghost Face mask.
At the end of the day, Lucifer had entered his apartment with Jack on his shoulder in Eyecon form.
"So this is where you'll stay with us, as long as you behave yourself." He said sternly.
"Hey I already promised not to kill any humans, just spirits." He flew off his shoulder and went straight to coach, turning back to humanoid form. "Ah, I've missed the feeling of softness."
"Luci! I'm home!" Lindsay's voice came from the hallway. She came into the living room, and immediately noticed the ghost on her coach. "Um, why is he here?" She asked a little scared.
"It's alright, Jack won't hurt you. Rias said he has to stay with us since she doesn't trust him yet." He assured her.
"Oh, okay!" Lindsay sat next to Jack and reached out her hand. "Hi! I'm Lindsay, you tried to kill me earlier today."
"Um…..hi?" He shook her hand. "So what have I missed over the past two hundred years?" Lucifer handed a TV remote to the spirit. "What is this?"
"A remote. Watch some TV that'll catch you up to things." Jack pressed the on button, and was amazed when the screen illuminated.
"Amazing…..it's like a theatre inside a box…" His entire focus was now on whatever was showing on the screen. This made the sibling chuckle. "Shush! I'm learning…"
"I'll make us some dinner." Lucifer said to his sister and made his way to the small kitchen. As he was about to start, he noticed a black cat outside his window. The cat smirked with a wink and leapt away. "Animals can be so weird some times."
