~Other world~

Evening

"Where do you think you're running off to, kid?" Weser asked as he and Ratten chased after Izayoi. "You can't run from us. You're destined to die, I'm afraid!" He stated as he swung his flute to the side, causing a stream of mud to chase after Izayoi, who was running along the roof he was currently on.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Izayoi asked with a smirk rolling off his face as he jumped to another building, causing the stream of mud to stop pursuing him due to Weser's command.

"You sure are one problem kid." Weser commented as Izayoi glanced behind him, a smirk could be seen on the corner of his cheek.

"Thanks. But do you think you can catch me if you only talk?" Izayoi mocked as Weser gritted his teeth with a smile on his face.

"This kid…" Weser mutters as he increased his speed on his flight to catch Izayoi. "H

e isn't any ordinary low-level Devil if he could fight the three of us without sustaining any damage on himself." Weser thought after observing Izayoi from their battle. He knew that the client asked them to kill him. The client said that the target was a low-level Devil and they would get rid of him easily. But when he fought Izayoi, he knew that he wasn't just a lowly-level Devil judging from the inhuman speed and strength he had. And his Gift which was his power wasn't just a strong Gift, it was something he couldn't relate his power to. Even if he controlled mud slides, Izayoi would just destroyed it with just a swing of his punch. The same goes for his Master's powers. When Pest shot a wave of black wind that would made anyone be affected by the diseases that lie in the wind, Izayoi destroyed it easily with just a swing of his punch.

"That client really took an advantage on us…" Weser said frustrated that he was being used to do the dirty work from their client. But then a smile appear on his face, "But he knows how to pick an interesting target to kill!" He added as he prepared his flute to hit Izayoi from behind.

"Stay still, you!" Ratten shouted as two Strom landed in front of Izayoi, who still held a smirk on his face.

When Izayoi reached the two Strom, he immediately flipped his body back, his feet touching the first Storm's upper body. Then, he looked up and instantly shot himself towards Ratten and Weser, leaving a huge hole in Strom's body from where his feet touched.

"What?!" Weser exclaimed as a blur instantly appear before him and his eyes widen, feeling a fist was embedded in his stomach. Instantly, Weser flew back from Izayoi's fist, dragging Ratten with him across the town as she stood behind him earlier.

"I'll catch you later." Izayoi said before he landed and turns around, immediately jumping towards the presences of the town folks. But before he could, he immediately punctured the second Strom with his right fist, and flew through the huge hole he made. After he flew through the hole, he continued on his way, leaving the second Strom to fall backwards and turn into dust.

But what he didn't know was a figure standing on top of the boundary wall as she look at the destruction that the Grim Grimoire Hamelin members did to her sister's city. She looked over the city, noting that not all of the city was damaged but she know that it will take a lot of time to rebuild it back.

The figure then look at her left, seeing Pest levitate in the air, drenched in water, which made her question herself.

After that, figure looked to where her sister was located and she flew down from the boundary walls, flying straight towards her sister.

Meanwhile, Izayoi landed in front of a building that he knew from the amount of people sheltered nearby the building. He looked around the building, which held several towsfolk, who were bandaging up the injured fire-lizard men and animal like creature guards of the city, after what he guessed that they were being seduced by the melody that Ratten blew into her flute and they had to fight each other, resulting on their injuries.

After Izayoi stood properly from his crouching position, he was suddenly being surrounded by the bandaged guards as he looked in front of him, seeing a man with two horns that weren't fully developed. He was wearing an outfit that showed he was an important person in the city. On top of all that, his hair is red with a single tuck of hair in front of his forehead.

"It looks like this isn't a welcoming party for me." Izayoi joked with a smile as Mandra looked at him with narrow eyes. Sizing him up if he was a threat or not. Also, he took note of his appearance and attire that he wore.

"Who are you? I never seen you before. What community are you in?" Mandra asked as Izayoi smirk which caused a frown to appear on his face.

"Sakamaki Izayoi. As for my community, let's say I don't want to reveal it to the public." Izayoi answered as Mandra drew his sword and pointed it at Izayoi's face.

"Are you situated with the ones that are destroying this city?" Mandra asked.

"Stop!" A voice stated as Mandra pulled his sword back and looked behind him to see his younger sister, which is the leader of this city. "What are you doing, Onii-sama?" Sandora asked with worry edged on her face. She had red hair like her brother, but her horns were fully developed unlike her brother.

"I'm questioning this person if he is situated with the ones that are destroying this city." Mandra said sheathing his sword in its scabbard as Sandora looked behind Mandra, seeing Izayoi being surrounded by swords. But his facial expression didn't show that he was terrified from the action.

Then, Sandora went to stand beside Mandra, who looked at her in surprise. "What are you-" Mandra was cut off as Sandora look at him.

"He's the one that was fighting against the enemies. I saw it with my own eyes. He is the one that were fighting against them all this time." Sandora stated as Mandra held a surprise look. Sandora looked at the guards, "You may put down your weapons and get some rest." She ordered to them as the guards pulled their weapons back and bowed to her before they were dismissed.

After they left, Sandora looked at Izayoi, "My name is Sandora and I'm the leader of this city. Thank you so much for defending this city and fighting against the enemy." She stated with a smile.

Meanwhile, the figure from before landed on the corner of a building near the building that held the injuring guards and the townsfolk altogether. Despite her appearance, nobody notices her as they were all busy in the current situation they were in. The figure look at Sandora, who was talking to a young man that she thought was the same age as her even though she was 200 years old.

"No problem." Izayoi replied with his own smile. "But I didn't know that the leader was so young. How old are you?" He asked to Sandora.

"11 years old." She answered.

"If you're the leader of this city, then you must be the daughter of Salamandra, correct?" Izayoi asked after he read some history about the city he was in while he was with Asuka in their gaming spree.

"Yes, I am." She answered with a nod as she look at Izayoi, "Anyway, can you tell me who our enemy is?" Sandora asked.

"The enemy is from a community called Grim Grimoire Hamelin." Izayoi said as Sandora looked at him in surprise. "There are three members; Weser, Ratten and the Demon Lord, Pest, known as the Black Death." He explained as Sandora open her mouth to speak but Izayoi crouched down to her eye level.

"Since we have a short time before they arrive, gather up all your people and guards that can possible stand on their own two feet without any help. Then, shatter the stained glasses that portray the joker controlling rats that are in the city. Because that is the false legend in this Gift Game." Izayoi explained as Sandora thought about his words for a while before she nodded.

"Good. Sorry if this is too fast to trust a stranger." Izayoi said standing up as Sandora shake her head.

"No. It's okay. I'll do anything to keep my people safe." Sandora said as Izayoi smiled.

"Okay. Oh, and the name's Sakamaki Izayoi." Izayoi introduced himself as he turns around and jumped off the ground to the nearest roof before he jumps to another, intend to continue the fight which he was waiting for.

"Sakamaki Izayoi…" The figure mutters under her breath as she said the name of the young man. She then focuses her attention to Sandora, wanting to know what would be her action. Should she trust the young man's words or she would ignore it?

"Nii-sama, we should gather everyone that can stand and do as he says. For the injured ones, order a group of people to monitor their conditions. I don't want to let anyone suffer anymore than they should." Sandora commanded as Mandra nodded at her command. He then walked away to gather the people while Sandora looked at where Izayoi left.

"Sandora…" The figure said as a small smile appear on her face, happy that her sister was acting as the leader should be. She then look at where Izayoi jump off and she too, disappear from the corner by flying off the ground, intend to meet with the young man.

"This is going to be fun at last!" Izayoi said with a smirk as he jump off a roof towards another roof.

But before he could jump to the next roof, "Kid!" Weser shouted flying behind him, with his flute at his side ready to strike. In the middle of his jump, Izayoi managed to cross his arms before he was launch to the sky by Weser's flute.

Izayoi looked around at the city before he looked down at Pest, who was looking down at the city of Salamandra.

"Hm? It seems that they've solved the riddle about us." Ratten commented flying next to the smiling Pest while she look down at the group of people that was gathering outside of a building and Sandora was leading them from the front lines.

"Shatter the stained glasses that portrays a joker controlling rats around the city. This can shatter the false legend in the Gift Game to which will lead us one step closer to winning!" Sandora said to the group of people that were gathered in front of her.

"Yeah!" The group of people roared in slight happiness, knowing that they would be one step closer to winning the Gift Game.

"Split into groups and shatter the stained glasses!" Mandra said with a raised of his hand to the guards and the townsfolk of Salamandra.

"Hai!" Everyone shouted as they all split into groups and they run towards the stained glasses that were placed all around the city.

"I don't mind. We just have to kill them if it comes down to it. I've given divinity to Weser for that purpose." Pest said looking at Weser who was flying beside her and he was glowing blue like he previously was.

"Why to Weser? Boo." Ratten complained with a pout.

"Now that they've figured out our riddle, there's no reason for us to hold back. I will activate the grimoire of Hamelin!" Pest said as she raised her right hand, shooting off a huge black fog that covers Salamandra.

Meanwhile in the air, Izayoi look up at the darken sky and then he look down at the city.

Suddenly, several earthquakes occurred at the same time in the city.

The palace surrounded by the boundary wall was engulfed in light, while strong rays covered the participant area.

The townsfolk look up and their eyes widen as the sky of the boundary wall disappeared without a trace. Instead, it was replaced by unfamiliar street.

"What's going on?" One of the guards asked looking at the replaced wooden buildings that were not in Salamandra.

"Wh-What's going on?" Mandra asked in confusion as the townsfolk look at the transforming town.

Ahead of them, the large domed minaret had a dramatic change, before turning into a wooden building. The chandeliers that created dusk colored light disappeared, while pink colored buildings were reconstructed in the surrounding area. The base of the boundary wall which was the city itself had completely changed into a different town.

"Movement in the earth? Now things are getting interesting!" Izayoi said with a smirk, looking at the changed town. But then he looked behind him and he quickly defend an attack from Weser's flute.

"You know? It feels good to be at my home again!" Weser said with a grin directed at Izayoi.

"You think I don't know?" Izayoi retorted back as Weser turns them around in the sky before he stopped and he tried to push Izayoi away.

"No. But you'll know how much this town has changed me." Weser said trying to push Izayoi away but he didn't made Izayoi moved from an inch.

"Are you really pushing me? You have to do better than that!" Izayoi said with a smug smirk as he raised his right fist, which caused Weser to instantly pull his flute back from Izayoi. But unfortunately he didn't have time to flew back to dodge the fist that instantly buried itself inside his stomach. The force of the fist sent him flying backwards towards where Ratten and Pest were flying over the town.

After Weser was gone, Izayoi turns around to look at the ground that was beginning to close in on him. He maneuver his body as his feet touched the ground, which caused a crater to form underneath his feet.

Izayoi stood up from the crater as he looked around the town of Hamelin, "If they change the city, then the location of the stained glasses must have changed to that of Hamelin." He stated looking at the wooden buildings in the street he was in.

"Do you want me to give them a message to help out?" A voice asked as Izayoi look at his right and his eyes took upon a sight which he would remember for the rest of his life.

At the other side of the town…

Pest and Ratten were flying next to each other as Pest look down at the surprise reaction of the town folks on their transformed city to town.

"You know, Master." Ratten said as Pest just look ahead without turning her head to look at her. Everything was going well, but we still can't find the young lady who disappeared." She explained with a shrug of her shoulders.

"I don't mind. We'll get her soon." Pest answered.

"If only we had someone like Snow White or Cinderella right now. I would have them act out a comical opera using the people we have under our control." Ratten said with a smile.

"Cinderella, huh? That one had a depressing tone to it, but it had a pretty good sense of humor. And Snow White had a pretty bad personality. Really made me laugh." Weser commented appearing before the two while holding his stomach, taking his time before he would fight Izayoi again.

Pest glanced at Weser before she looked ahead, "Oh? What's wrong, Master?" Ratten asked putting her chest onto Pest's head as she smiled down at her. "You're acting all cute, it's unusual." She stated.

"And you're annoying me just like usual, Ratten." Pest said blankly as Ratten let go and squeal in happiness.

"Oh, you're praising me!" Ratten said with a smile.

"No. No, she's not." Weser said as Ratten stood next to Pest.

"What's wrong, Weser? Don't tell me, you can't handle that boy alone." Ratten said with a smile as Weser spit out blood to his right before answering.

"How about you fight him for yourself? Then, you'll know how much pain you're going to experience. That kid… Isn't any ordinary Devil. I think he isn't a Devil at all if he can't fly." Weser said.

"Wouldn't the task be more easier if he isn't a Devil?" Ratten asked. "If he isn't a Devil, he must be a human." She stated.

"But not an ordinary human." Weser concluded.

"Well, it's our job to kill him. Do whatever you can, Weser." Pest said as Weser nodded at her request while Ratten look at Pest.

"Master, I need to talk to you about something important." Ratten said as Pest glanced at her. "You started a gift game as a Demon Lord. You will start to be targeted by a large number of communities, you'll fight and fight, and eventually, without a doubt, you will die." Ratten said over Pest's ear.

"Without a doubt, huh?" Weser asked himself with a smile.

"This is the system Demon Lords exist within in this Little Garden of the gods. Please understand that. However, right now, we will only follow you with all of our hearts." Ratten said as she hugged Pest in her arms.

"You're a Demon Lord that carries the name of Grim Grimoire. Without you, there would be no one else left. Thus I pledge my loyalty to you until the end." Weser said with a smile.

"I see." Pest said.

~Kuoh Academy~

Night

"The city changed? How can that be?" Xenovia asked looking at the screen that displayed the town of Hamelin in the night sky.

"I never expected that they had this kind of power… The power to change a single huge city into an old town from the past. That town is called Hamelin." Sona said looking at Hamelin in the screen.

"I don't like where this is going, Sona-chan…" Serafall mutters with a small frown.

"It's going to be okay." Sona assured her as Serafall look at her and nodded.

"Izayoi-kun…" Rias, Akeno, Serafall, Xenovia and Irina thought worriedly.

"Izayoi-sama…" Shirayuki-Hime thought with a concern look.

The other side of Hamelin…

"So, no introduction?" Izayoi asked with a smirk, looking at the woman in front of her. The women had olive skin and she was dressed like a woman of Arabian Nights. Long fiery red hair that reaches her waist while wearing a headband. She is shown to have two horns at each side of her head. The horns were grown and were pointed to the back of her head.

"My name is Sala Doltrake. I'm Sandora's elder sister. The eldest of the three Doltrake's." The woman named Sala introduced herself as Izayoi nodded in acknowledgement. "What about your introduction, If I may ask? I have to know the name of the city's savior, am I wrong?" Sala asked with a smile which had been illuminated by the moon, making her entire being glowed in the dark even if she wore the clothes of an Arabian women. Even though she knows his name, she wanted a proper introduction between themselves.

"The name's Sakamaki Izayoi. As for the savior part, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm fighting because it's the only way I can get out of here." Izayoi said as Sala raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Get out of here?" Sala thought. But then she decided to ask him later, instead she focuses onto Izayoi's statement of not being a savior which she knew that he is. "If you aren't a savior, then what are you? You've told my sister to gather her soldiers and townsfolk to shatter the stained glasses all around the city because it would break the false legend in this Gift Game, am I right? So, what's your real reason on helping this city, savior?" Sala asked with amusement in her voice, while she held a triumphant smile on her face.

"A beautiful woman with a personality…" Izayoi commented with a smirk as Sala blush in embarrassment from his words. "Well, to answer your question, we should talk later." He said as Sala held a confused look. Suddenly, Izayoi grabbed her right hand and pulled her towards him, enveloping her in his arm to which surprises her greatly. But then she look in front of her, seeing that Izayoi pulled her to safety to dodge a swing of a flute from the grinning Weser.

"What are you doing in the dark, huh, kid? You know it's not nice to do any bad activities in a person's town? What right do you have, huh?" Weser asked as Sala look at Izayoi's arm wrapping around her protectively before she look at Weser, ignoring the strange feeling she felt in Izayoi's arm.

"Well, do you know anything about privacy?" Izayoi retorted back with a smirk as he instantly dashes towards Weser, leaving Sala to look at him.

When Izayoi's fist collide with Weser's flute again, a gust of wind blew from their collision. Then, Izayoi raised his other fist and started punching at Weser repeatedly, to which he dodge it or he took the hits, which made him wince in pain.

After a while, Izayoi punched Weser by the cheek which caused him to flew back a couple of distance through the street.

"Sala," Izayoi called out as Sala look at him. "Said to Sandora and the rest of the townsfolk that they have to search the stained glasses at the churches around the town. Can you do that?" He asked with a smile as Sala nodded.

"I can do that." Sala answered.

"Oh, I almost forgot to ask." Izayoi stated as Sala look at him again. "Can you fight?" He asked with a smirk as Sala smiled in return.

"Do you underestimate me by my femininity?" Sala asked.

"No. Let's say, I would guessed that your sister, Sandora would fight against Black Percher. You know of her, right?" Izayoi asked as he glanced behind him, which caused his face to be seen halfway by Sala.

"Yes. I know of her." Sala answered as Izayoi look at where Weser had flew off.

"Then, you should help your sister. You wouldn't want your sister to get hurt, right? I can handle things over here." Izayoi said with his right hand on his hip.

"…Okay." Sala replied as she slowly flew off towards her sister. But halfway through her flight, she glanced back at Izayoi, who stood on a roof with his back facing her.

"Don't worry about me, you should worry about your own." Izayoi reassured her as Sala briefly nodded and she look forward, shooting herself through the sky towards her sister. But before she could help her sister, she flew towards the Mandra to relay the message she had been entrusted from Izayoi.

"You really made everyone worry, huh?" Weser asked as he appear standing across from Izayoi. His clothes were covered in dust and his sleeves were slightly torn due to crashing into a building.

"Yeah, I know. But I just have to finish whatever obstacle that kept them for worrying about me. In this case now, it's you!" Izayoi said with a smirk as he dashes towards Weser.

"You're not going to come out alive after this, kid!" Weser shouted as he dashes towards Izayoi for their final part of their battle.

Meanwhile at the other side of Hamelin...

A giant gust of wind appear over at the other side of the town as Sandora look at the gust of wind.

"It looks like they are into their battle. We should do as well. If you aren't as weak as you are now." Pest said with a smile as Sandora launches several fireballs at her to which she counters it by shooting a wave of black wind that engulfed the fireballs and rendering them useless.

"I'm not weak!" Sandora remarked as she shoot several fireballs at Pest. But the fireballs were flying towards her in a different position. Two of the four fireballs had missed Pest, which she dodged rather than block it with her black wind. After those fireballs missed its obvious target, Pest blocked the other fireballs with a wall of black wind from her polka dotted pattern right sleeve.

"What did you say about being weak?" Pest asked with a smile as Sandora smiled in return, which confuses her. Then, Pest glanced behind her and she saw the two fireballs that missed hitting her earlier. "Even if she is weak, she's smart." Pest thought as she turns around and shoot a wave of black wind towards the two fireballs from her right sleeve. When the two fireballs were hit by the black wind, they instantly disappeared.

"Take this!" Sandora said as she appear behind Pest and she swung her right hand down, unleashing a slash of flames from her said hand. But Pest smiled and a black fog-like substance was released from her sleeves, trapping Sandora inside.

Pest turns around to look at the fatigue looking Sandora, "You have to do better than that, I'm afraid." She mocked with a smile. "And it looks like you'll be my slave after this is all over. After we get rid of that freak." Pest said.

"You mean… Izayoi-san?" Sandora asked with a weak voice and half lidded eyes.

"Yes. Other than recruiting the people into our Community, we've been assigned to kill Izayoi. Isn't that nice? I feel like we're killing two birds with one stone. I'm sure Weser is slowly tiring that freak out." Pest explained as Sandora tried to raised her hand to attack her with a fireball. But she was too tired to even lift her hand to do that.

Suddenly, a single slashing motion appeared in between Pest and Sandora in the black fog. The action caused the fog to be sliced into two and eventually disappear without a trace. A red blur instantly grabbed Sandora from Pest, who look surprise by the intervention.

"It's a good thing I arrive in time." Sala said as she held the weak Sandora in her right arm.

"Well, if it isn't Sala Doltrake. How did you come here at such a short notice?" Pest asked with a smile, looking at Sala.

"I had a feeling that you would come to my homeland, Pest." Sala stated with a casual look.

Pest looked over the city, searching for something.

"Where's your community? You're in (One Horn), If I recall right? I thought they may accompany their leader to Salamandra." She stated with a smile looking at Sala.

"I went alone." Sala said as Pest smile amusingly.

"Do you think you can defeat me without being infected?" Pest asked as she shoot a wave of black wind towards Sala, who unsheath her sword from behind her waist and held it to the side. Suddenly, flames started to burst out of the sword and it quickly wraps itself around the sword, making the sword being emblazen by flames.

When the wave of black wind got nearer to Sala, she slashes the wind with her sword, causing a burst of flames to collide with the wind. A gust of wind appear at the confrontation between the two attacks but then the flames overpowered the wind by which made the black wind to disappear completely with just a slash of pure, powerful flames from the sword.

"I can tell this fight would be interesting." Pest said with an amused smile as Sala narrow her eyes at her.

Sandora weakly look up and slowly her vision started to become clearer and clearer. After a while, she set her eyes at Sala's face. Then, her eyes widen, recognizing the person's face from the pictures she had seen over the years.

"Onee-sama?" Sandora asked as Sala looked down at her.

"Are you okay? Sandora?" Sala asked with a smile as Sandora nodded.

"I'm fine. Wh-What are you doing here? I thought you were at Underwood with your Community." Sandora said as Sala smiled sweetly at her.

"I'm here because of you. I heard that the newly established Community, Grim Grimoire Hamelin would strike Salamandra. So, I headed there and here I am now." Sala explained.

"T-Thank you, Onee-sama." Sandora said with a happy smile to which Sala smile in return.

"What a sweet reunion. Unfortunately, I have to interrupt." Pest said shooting a wave of black wind towards Sala and Sandora.

"Sandora, get away from here." Sala said slashing the black wind with her sword before she let her arm go from Sandora, who look at her.

"No, I want to fight." Sandora declared as Sala look at her in surprise. "I'm the leader of this city. I can't just watch from the sidelines and let them take my people into their community." She explained with a determined look as Sala smile at her sister's determination to protect her people.

"Well, if that is what you want. Then, I can't stop you from doing what's right for your city and people." Sala explained as she look at Pest and took a fighting stance by spreading her legs and readying her sword. "Let's fight together." She said with a smile as Sandora smile at her sister and she took a fighting stance, with her hands in front of her, preparing to shoot fireballs at Pest.

Meanwhile, Pest frowns a little at the Doltrake sisters. "This is getting annoying." She commented as she then smile. "But the more, the merrier." She said as the battle between her, Black Percher and the Doltrake sisters begin.

~Kuoh Academy~

"This is getting quite serious…" Sona commented seeing that Pest is going to fight with the Doltrake sisters and Izayoi is fighting Weser. "I didn't think this would be a large scale battle." She said as she watches Sala slices the wave of black wind while her sister shoot a dozen of fireballs afterwards.

"It would seem so. I never thought those three would be strong." Xenovia commented.

"But if they were this strong, can we fight them if they came here?" Irina asked everyone as Xenovia gritted her teeth, knowing that the possibility of winning were slim. "I mean, if they can fight equally with Izayoi-kun. That means they are stronger than us, right?" She asked as Rias and Akeno looked down sadly, knowing her statement was true.

But then Rias looked at everyone, "But Izayoi-kun is still stronger than them!" She declared as Serafall nodded in agreement.

"Yes! I know he'll win this battle! We just have to believe in him! Even if we're far away and we can't help him, but we can still hope for the best! And I believe that Izayoi-kun will win!" Serafall said as Sona look at her in surprise. She was surprised that her sister was fully supportive of Izayoi. But she knew that due to her sister's love towards Izayoi, she was doing what she was doing now and that is to support Izayoi whichever way possible.

"That's right! We have to hope for the best for Izayoi-kun, no matter what!" Rias said as her hands were engulfed in red energy.

"Rias…" Akeno mutters seeing that Rias wanted to help Izayoi. She knew that Rias and the rest of them were useless to help Izayoi from the other world and she too, felt the need to help Izayoi even if they were in the useless situation they were in now.

Akeno look at Sona, "Sona-sama," She called out as Sona look at her.

"Can we help Izayoi-kun?" Akeno asked which caught Rias's attention.

"No, we can't. It's impossible." Sona answered as Akeno pointed her hand towards the screen.

"Can we use that as the portal to the world Izayoi-kun is in?" Akeno asked as Sona look at the screen. She knew that the screen originate from the other world, and if the screen appeared in their world… They could teleport something to the other world to where Izayoi is.

"I think we can." Sona answered as everyone look at her in surprise.

"We can?" Serafall asked in surprise as Sona nodded at her.

Then, Sona look up at everyone, "It's worth a shot to find out." She said to them, as Akeno look at Rias.

"Buchou, we can help Izayoi-kun now." Akeno said with a smile as Rias's eyes widen and then she smiled in return.

"Yes, we can. Thank you, Akeno." Rias said as Akeno shook her head and look at her.

"This is for Izayoi-kun." Akeno stated with determination in her tone as Rias nodded with a smile.

"This is for Izayoi-kun." Rias repeated as she look over at the screen which displays Izayoi's battle with Weser.

~Other World~

Night

"Let me get in on some of that!" Weser said as Izayoi jumped away from the roof he was on and he turns around to find Weser flying at him and grip his head with his left hand.

"Damn you!" Izayoi stated with gritted teeth.

"This is payback for last time!" Weser said as he let go of Izayoi and swung his flute at his right side, causing Izayoi to skit across the river of the town and drag his feet along the ground to stop himself from flying any further.

After a while, Weser landed in front of the smoke that Izayoi was in.

Then, the smoke slowly dissipated, revealing a standing Izayoi with his left hand clutching his right side. A drop of blood drip from his side followed by another drop.

~Kuoh Academy~

"Izayoi-kun!" Rias called out in worry, witnessing the first time that Izayoi bleed.

"He-He injured Izayoi-kun!" Irina said with surprise, followed by everyone's surprise looks.

"Divinity…" Sona mutters the word, trying to figure out the word in her mind. "Is it something that had been given to you? Is that divinity? An enormous amount of power… That can even injure Izayoi-kun…" She thought. "Impossible…" She added.

"This is the first time I've seen Izayoi-sama bled..." Shirayuki-Hime thought with a small frown, worried that the enemy would be damaging Izayoi more after this and he would bled even more.

"Izayoi-kun, hang in there." Xenovia thought with a small frown. Even though Sona said that there was a way to help Izayoi, she can't help but feel useless standing here doing absolutely nothing. She knew that every girl were worried about Izayoi except Sona. She also knew that everyone would feel useless in the situation they were in because they didn't know how to go into the other world and now, they were just standing here while they watch the man they love getting hurt for the first time.

Xenovia look at Irina, who held a worried look beside her while she watches Izayoi. Wanting to comfort her, Xenovia put her right hand on her shoulder as Irina look at her.

"Izayoi-kun will win." Xenovia said with a reassured smile as Irina look hesitant to answer back but she look at Izayoi for a while before she nodded at her statement.

"Yeah, he'll win." Irina replied back with determination in her eyes. "Amen." She added.

~Other world~

"That had some impact, Weser." Izayoi said as he spit some blood from his mouth to the side. "What's this now? Aren't you fancy?" He asked looking at the glowing Weser. "Mind telling me why this town had changed you, like you said?" He added.

"Of course. I've received divinity. And my power had doubled now that I'm back in my hometown. You won't be able to pick me off that easily!" Weser said with a grin as he shoot himself off the ground towards Izayoi.

"Same goes for you!" Izayoi said smirking as he jump towards Weser and punches his glowing blue flute which caused a huge explosion to appear from their collision.

Meanwhile at the other side of Hamelin…

Sala slashes the wave of black wind in front of her before she release a big arc of flames towards Pest from her sword.

Pest raised her sleeve and a gust of black wind covered her, defending against the arc of flames. After a while, the arc of flames disappeared and the black wind around Pest disappears.

"Sandora, we'll attack from both sides." Sala said to her younger sister, who nodded.

The two then separated and they both flew towards Pest. When they were close enough to launch their attack, the two of them unleash their attacks at the same time. Sala blew a stream of fire from her mouth, followed by Sandora. The two stream of fire heads towards Pest in opposite direction, with Sala's flames at her right while Sandora's at the left.

But both Sala and Sandora were surprised as Pest spins her body with her outstretched hands, which caused a big wave of black wind to appear and wrapped itself around Pest like a ball. Then, the streams of fire hits the defensive black wind wall and disappear shortly after it hits the black wind wall, meaning that the surprise attack failed.

Then, Sandora focuses her attention on Pest before she shoot several balls of fire at her. Noticing the balls of fire fired at her, Pest countered the attack by shooting a huge stream of dark wind that engulfed the ball of fire and it continues to head towards Sandora.

Sandora shoot a stream of flames from her right hand to deflect the attack, but it was futile. Rather the attack itself got engulfed by the dark wind. When the dark wind came closer, Sandora tried her best to counter it. She didn't try to run because she didn't want to at all.

When the huge stream of dark wind came closer to Sandora. She narrow her eyes and she shoot a huge stream of flames from both of her hands to deflect the attack. But unfortunately it was useless. Sandora closed her eyes as she waited for the dark wind to engulfed her, but after a few seconds, she didn't fell weak or drained of her powers. She open her eyes and looked up in front of her. When she looked in front of her, her eyes widen.

"Are you okay, Sandora?" Sala asked as Sandora looked in front of the woman, seeing the dark wind disappear without her knowing.

"Thank you, Onee-sama. And I'm sorry for—" Sandora was cut off by Sala.

"What are you saying? It's not your fault. You were trying your best to defeat her for your home and your people." Sala explained as Sandora look at her. "Anyway, I'm here with you. So, we'll defeat her together, okay?" She asked as Sandora smile at her elder sister.

"Okay!" Sandora answered with a nod as Sala focuses her eyes on Pest.

"Then, we should continue the battle at hand." Sala said as she dashes towards Pest with her sword in hand.

"Hai, Onee-sama!" Sandora stated as she followed her sister.

~Hamelin~

As the group of people shatter the stained glasses at the churches, Mandra was giving off orders to everyone, who were being ordered to shatter the stained glasses with the joker controlling rats on it at the churches around Hamelin.

Mandra looked at where his elder sister and younger sister were fighting and he'll hope that they were doing their best to fend off Pest while they shatter the stained glasses.

"I never thought Onee-sama would come here..." Mandra mutters under his breath as he recalled the meeting between him and Sala. It was short but he knew that the information she gave was useful.

"Since the city has changed, the location of each stained glasses has also changed. To find the stained glasses, search them at the churches around the town. That place would be the place that would have the stained glasses." Sala said to Mandra, who nodded at her before Sala flew off to help Sandora.

"We can win this Gift Game." Mandra said to himself as he nods.

"I found it! This one doesn't have the rats!" One of the townsfolk said showing the stained glass without the rats.

"Secure it! We've been given a order to shatter the stained glasses with the joker controlling the rats. That is all. We can't disobey the order." Mandra said to them.

"Okay, that's as far as you go." Ratten said appearing before everyone, as Mandra look at her and grip his sword in his right hand tightly. On top of the roof she was standing on, there were two Fire Lizards beside her. She smiled down at everyone from the roof, as she flick her finger which caused three Strom to appear behind her.

Suddenly, a lance pierced through the Strom standing at the right and it was instantly turn to dust after it fell to the ground.

Ratten look up at the sky and her eyes widen, seeing a blonde haired woman with black wings behind her back. The woman has long blonde hair with curls at the ends. Her blonde bangs covers her forehead and also frames her petite face. Pale skin and red eyes, typical of a vampire in this world. Her outfit consists of a black collared shirt with a gray tie with an emblem of a cross. She wears a red overcoat over her black shirt. She also wears a white mini skirt with a red hem and attached to it are four belt-like straps that has white equally-armed crosses at the end of each. She also wears striped black and grey thigh-highs and black boots to complete her outfit.

"So, you're here. Leticia Dracula. The Knight of Little Garden. What a pleasure to meet you. What brings you here?" Ratten asked with a smile as the blonde haired woman named Leticia look at her.

"That is none of your concern. But I can't allow you to harm these people." Leticia stated as she landed before Mandra, "Go." She said to him, who nodded at her.

"Let's go everyone. To the next location!" Mandra yelled to everyone and they obeyed by running to the next church.

"I won't let you do that." Ratten said as she blew her flute and the two Fire Lizards blew out fire from their mouths towards Mandra and the people.

Meanwhile, Leticia held her hand to the side, as a lance appear in her hand. She then stabbed her lance at the ground which showed her shadow and she dragged the shadow upwards towards the streams of fire that was heading for her. The streams of fire hit the shadow that was completely blocking the flames from reaching her and the townsfolk.

"If I kill these guys, everyone will end up in the crossfire." Leticia thought as she block the fire that was still hitting her shadow shield.

"Wh-What?" Mandra said as he and the townsfolk look up at the Strom that appeared out of nowhere.

Mandra pointed his sword at Strom as he prepared to fight it while Leticia look at Strom from behind.

"Get away!" She said to Mandra, who stood still in his spot, unwavered by the huge size of the pottery-like soldier in front of him. When Strom was about to touch him with its large hand, it was instantly punched to the side by a large red metalic hand.

"That's..." Ratten said as she look upon the giant mass of steel standing in the dark.

"It looks like Ojou-sama has arrived with reinforcement." Izayoi said with a smirk looking behind Weser to see Asuka crossing her arms as she stood on top of Dean's shoulder. And on top of Asuka's left shoulder was Rattenfanger, who stood with her arms crossed while wearing a serious look on her face.

"Reinforcement has come." Asuka said with a smile.
