"I think that is enough… Don't you think Alex? Issei?"

We all looked up at the torn ceiling, now seeing the very familiar face we all know so well. Issei was completely surprised, even moved back slightly, hearing that the voice also mentioned the name of his adversary. Though with Alex, it added fuel to his anger, showing complete disapproval of the intervention.

Hearing Alex's name also surprised me entirely, now my world has undoubtedly turned upside down, everything I used to know is now all in question marks.

"Azazel… You damned crow… You've crossed the line THIS TIME!"

"Alex! This isn't the time nor the place. Our focus is getting your friend out of here!"

"You know what? Fuck you and your it's not the right time or place. I'm going to destroy this weakling and then that Red haired bitch! You do remember what I did the last time someone tried to mess with something I hold dear!"

Alex shouted at Azazel as his eyes flashed gold as he started to generate even more power while taking his stance to lunch his 'Heaven's Tornado'.

Azazel, however, wasn't that fazed at all. He knew that if he quickly calmed Alex down then the destruction and the fight that will without a doubt start with him would be quick. Though while Azazel didn't like fighting, but an occasional one never hurt him and he had a few who would entertain him for a bit, and one of them was Alex. So as Alex sent his attack at him, he flew back before summoning and launched his spear at the tornado, breaking the attack with a small explosion, pushing everyone in the room in different directions.

Alex groaned a bit and stood up, panting as he slowly recovers along with his adversary from Azazel's intervening attack. Preparing for another attack that would be even more powerful Alex was stopped by Azazel's shout.

"Enough! Get out of here while I'll hold Issei off! Now go, Alex!"

"And I say Fuck you, crow! Now back off so I can kill this weakling and at least do a favor to Ddraig!"

As the action was unfolding in the room, I began hearing footsteps, gradually getting closer and closer. I let out a small sigh of annoyance and shook my head with disbelief, thinking that somebody else would be taking me hostage, or ending my life. As Azazel and Alex were in a heated argument completely ignoring everything around them as if they knew that they had a complete dominance over a situation.

"Come on… let's get you out of here before Issei sees us…"

I sighed once more, but this time with a small smile with a glimmer of hope but came with a sharp and silent groan.

"I guess things aren't going well then…"

I slowly began to turn myself around, doing it with all my ounce of strength I have left, but also hoping to avoid some unwanted attention from Issei and the others. Soon my eyes were met with my savior, the savior in her skimpy, revealing black outfit with long luscious raven hair.

"I'm sorry, Raynare… They know… They know you're alive…"

Raynare shook her head and smiled warmly at me, she got down and helped me up to my feet with great care, seeing the injuries I've sustained and knowing the condition of my body. She knew I couldn't walk alone and that I needed as much help as I can get.

"It doesn't matter, Azazel's got this covered. Come on, let's go…"

Before we even made our first step towards freedom, a loud and horrified scream was heard, coming from the frightened and distraught Asia, which prompted Raynare to look at her without emotion or expression.

It was silencing all around, no move or sound was made from any of us, even Alex and Azazel stopped to see what was going on, all taking in what is going on around us. However, Kagura broke the unbearable silence as she walked forward and stood between us and Issei's group.

"Could someone tell me … What… the hell… is going on?!"

Issei was having none of this, he grasped his fist from his red gauntlet and dashed forward with a loud yell of fury and anger. But Alex, now saying that he will finish this, later appeared in front of Kagura and blocked Issei's attack by creating a tornado around his fist

Azazel narrowed his eyes, dropping his amused demeanor and launched another spear of light between Issei and Alex's attack, causing another explosion, which annoyed Rias and Kagura.

"Enough of this Alex! Kagura, get your idiot of a boyfriend and your friend and Raynare out of here! NOW!"

"Not until I finish tearing this lizard into pieces!"

"Like that'll ever happen!"

And with that Alex and Issei dashed forward and began an all-out combat, holding nothing back against each other. Seeing that this is going to be an all-out battle, Kagura began to ambush the Gremory knight, which did catch him off-guard as he tried to slash Alex. However, Kiba managed to recover and used his speed and agility to appear from one place to another, causing Kagura to increase her focus and concentration before their duel continued.

"Wh… What do we do, President!?"

Asia asked with a worried and scared expression from her face. Rias remained calm and stepped forward and faced Azazel, wanting some answers out Azazel who just sighed at the development of the situation.

"Do you know any of this, Azazel!?"

Azazel looked at Rias and can clearly see the anger in her eyes, even the color changed from blissful blue to red with rage. He sighed shamefully and shakes his head with guilt and with shame before answering her.

"I did… I knew she was revived for quite some time… I didn't inform you all. Believe me when I say this, the last thing I want was another incident like at the church…"

Rias was far from impressed, she took a few steps forward towards the battle and Azazel, preparing herself to attack anyone against her. But Azazel flew forward to Rias, holding his hands on her shoulders.

"This may be hard for you… but let me handle this… I don't want anyone to perish and I'm sure you don't want the same thing happening to Issei… plus if you hit Kagura or Alex you can only hope to anyone that you survive their rage."

Rias paused for a moment, taking a moment to examine the current situation before sighing and shaking her head. She then looked at Asia, all scared and upset, before standing back, protecting and shielding her blonde bishop from any incoming attacks and debris.

"I'll protect Asia… Just… Just end this and get Raynare and your comrades out of our sights… Before I deal with them myself…"

Azazel nodded and watched as the fight continued between Rias' and his own comrades, waiting for the right moment to strike and end the battle. Outside of the room however, me and Raynare decided to make our first steps towards freedom.

"Come on now, let's walk. Just hang in there, alright?"

Raynare said with a determined look on her face, which did give me some mental confidence, but my body was far from ready, but given the situation now, I had no choice and tried to move by legs with clear signs of struggling. After many attempts to move a single step, none executed.

"I… I don't think I can Ray… Ugh! I… I don't think I can move…"

Raynare sighed before resorting to carrying me in her arms, she looked behind her and saw the fight progressing. Fortunately for her, Kiba was distracted and out of sight with Kagura dueling him. However, and unfortunately, Issei can see her getting ready to escape and began bombarding Alex with attacks nonstop.

"Move! Out! Of! My! WAY!"

Issei said with ferocity, as his attacks forced Alex to move back whilst defending himself. Though while Alex was in all defense, he did saw what made Issei's rage and power flare and he decided that while it was a suicide plan for his friend and Raynare, it was still a good way to end this fight.

So, with a few more moments of taking Issei's attacks, Alex decreased his defense, allowing Issei send him flying away from him and out of the room.

Seeing as his opponent was sent away, Issei released his wings and shoot straight at Raynare, who was caring her precious cargo while trying to gain as much distance as possible. Though with added weight it was a moody point, as Issei was not a second later above them, ready to send them down with a vicious kick.

Seeing as she was defenseless, and that the only last of defense Alex was nowhere in sight, she closed her eyes and prepared herself for a blow that will come. Though after a few moments and not feeling pain, but hearing a shout of pain and a few horrific gasps in surprise, she opened her eyes to see Alex, hovering above her with his golden Eagle wings spread wide with a deadly but calm and collected aura around him, as if all the rage and fury were about to be unleashed and Issei's foot in his hand gripped so tightly that you could hear bones cracking under intense force.

"Sorry for using you guys as bait, but it was the only way to finish this without killing him outright." Alex said calmly, his voice a lot deeper and stronger which shocked him as I have never heard or seen Alex like this, as he throws Issei up into the air before appearing above him and with reverse salto, sending the young Dragon Emperor rocketing towards the ground in-between Kagura and Kiba, who seeing Issei's body landing hard and even making a crater on the wooden floor, stopped their fighting in surprise from the impact and to see who did this.

To ORC's shock, they saw Alex hovering above them his majestic golden Eagle wing pulsating a lot of power that was backed up by even more killing intent as if anyone would dare to attack him and they would know what will happen. And seeing Alex in this state shocked Azazel, who knew firsthand what Alex was capable when he was not holding back and was serious. Since he knew that until now, Alex was just toying around, but now was a different story.

"Rias, better tell your team to retreat." Azazel calmly said as he slowly made his way towards Alex who was still hovering above them with power growing more and more by each second.

"And why would I do that? He attacked my domain and you are in no position to order me around!" Rias all but shouted at Azazel making him stop to look at the heiress of Gremory before calmly telling her what was happening.

"You really need to learn when it is wise to fight and when not Rias. That boy hovering above us is now not anymore Alex...oh no no... he is now if you ever heard of Fallen Eagle?" Azazel said in a calm voice making Rias, Akeno and even Raynare gasp in horror at what they just learned.

"Y-yo-you mean to tell me that h-he is the Fallen Eagle? The most ruthless solder in your forces?!" Rias shouted as look at Alex with fear that expanded as Alex set his eyes on her and started to gather small hurricanes around him.

"The only one, though for ruthless that is still tide, we have another that is just as Alex always wanting more powerful opponents. But you got the gist of it." Azazel said as he summoned his wings and took to the sky to match Alex.

Kagura also looked at Alex, became gob smacked at the sight of Alex, and would need to bring him back before anything else could happen, and the last thing she need was a new massacre that would follow in Alex's wake of wrath as he was to the supernatural world know as the Fallen Eagle, who would butcher anyone who stood in his way if need be.

She knew that when Alex got like this, even his rival and Azazel needed to be a lot more careful. But Alex chuckled a bit, even with a small grin present on his face which gave small hope to Kagura that everything would be all right in the end. Alex knew what he was doing, he dashed forward to Kiba, grabbing him tightly before spinning at a circle before throwing him to a wall, making Kiba grunt in pain as he was embedded into the wooden wall so fast that to ORC and everyone, beside Azazel and Kagura, it looked like a blur, before he scooped Kagura lovingly with his arms all the while having his grin plastered on his face.

"I think we've had enough action for today, my princess. Come on! Let's get the hell outta here!"

Kagura nodded and held on to her golden eagle as she got comfortable with her head on his shoulder embracing the warmth that his wing produced, as they slowly began to make their way out. Alex looked at Raynare and barked orders. He has half a mind to hurt her, even resort to killing her if I were to be killed at the first chance.

"Hey, crow! Get moving if you want to live! Don't make me blast your ass!"

I nodded at Raynare, wanting her to trust Alex, I've always trusted Alex from the moment we became 'brothers'. We've always had each other's backs, and we would never doubt each other. With that, Raynare sprung her wings and began to follow Alex to safety. All the while being in a protective sphere of wind around us to deter any attack that might come our way.

"Wait… Wait! What about Azazel!?"

I asked with a hint of worry, I can't let Issei and the others finish him off, but Raynare shook her head, not even showing a hint of worry or concern at all.

"Don't you worry about him, he knows what he is doing, he can always talk his way out of trouble… Failing that then… Let's just say he has other ways…"

Alex chuckled a bit, nodded his head with agreement. Seemingly like he knew what Azazel could be capable off.

"Believe me when I say this, if you mess with Azazel, you are signing your death warrant, and this is coming from the person that had a lot of training from him. Though I didn't battle the old man in a long time. But still, he is the most powerful Fallen Angel."

Soon, we got out of the school grounds, and made our way to Alex's house, which was a nice 2 stories house with a white facade and even a small garage and a little garden, our shelter and checkpoint. We soon landed, with Raynare still supporting me as we made inside his house. Alex soon unsummon his wings, reverting to his normal self, and leads us to the living room. His living room was just like how I remember, still had weird stuff, which if I remember correctly was brought all the way from Balkans, but hey, it did live up to his persona... well the one I knew before this. But all in all, it was a typical living room with a few sofas and even a small fireplace.

As Raynare walked to a nearby sofa, laying me down and sighed with relief, glad that we are out of danger for now. Alex and Kagura's expression changed, from a calm one to a serious one which made me flinch a bit, now wanting answers and wanting to understand the situation. Alex asked first but with a serious and cold tone of voice, not wanting to waste even more time.

"Right… listen to me, and listen very good bro… I don't know the ins and outs, but I want to know now. What the fuck is going on here? Why is Azazel involved? And why… are you… involved? You better give me some good answers, or you'll be fending your ass alone! And I know for sure that Issei will want his revenge on you and the little crow over here. So, if you want to survive tell me what was going on...NOW!"

I looked at everyone around me, even Raynare crossed her arms and looked at me with a saddened look. We never wanted to come to this, if anything, we'd just want to live our lives like any normal person, clearly, it never was the case. I gulped and sighed a bit, before giving Alex the answers he needs.

"It started a few nights ago, found a feather and I thought it was a crow's feather. Then I found a book on the occult and then well… I gave it a go, did a ritual and then I was knocked out. Come next morning, that's what became of the feather."

I explained, ending with my eyes pointing at Raynare, to which she nodded, essentially backing my explanation. Alex seemed convinced enough, Kagura was also, but had another question to tie it all in, even took a few steps closer to Raynare. The sound of her voice was blunt and serious, straight to the point even.

"What did you do to the ORC, Raynare?"

As soon as Kagura asked that question, I could see the somber and guilty look on Raynare's face again. Despite hearing her explanation already, backed up by Azazel, listening to it again would always make me feel guilty with my earlier treatment of Raynare.

"Fine… If it silences you for a moment… Long ago, I was banished from Heaven to the Underworld, thanks to a corrupt angel and their system… Azazel took me in, helped and trained me, made me feel like I have a purpose…"

Kagura and Alex stood still, taking in the events that caused Raynare to have bad blood with the ORC. They're expressions weren't shocked, but rather absorbed, taking in the words coming from her mouth, before making a judgment whether to believe me and her or not. Raynare continued before grasping her hands, showing complete anger and disdain of herself.

"With that… I swore to get back at those angels… I became lust for power… Hoping that me, Azazel and Shemhazai will destroy those that screwed me and many others over… Anything Azazel wants me to do, I'll dare to go a step further."

Alex somehow, looked slightly startled, but Kagura was still rather calm and nodded. Kagura had a hunch, her own picture of what happened in the end. She took a few steps forward and was toe-to-toe with Raynare.

"And I am right to suppose that it was your idea to kill Issei and Asia?"

Raynare immediately nodded, just wanting the interrogating done and over with, and move on to the present.

"Yes, I did it just to show that I can take anyone done with a scared gear… But Asia, she was a sacrifice so I can get my hands on the Twilight Heal… Do I really have to tell you what happened next?"

The fallen angel said with complete annoyance in her voice, to which Kagura shook her head and took a step back and tapped her foot on the floor. Alex sighed softly and crossed his arms, not sure what to think of the situation. Sure, she did kill Issei and Asia for power, but could understand to some degree her anger.

"Well… I guess that explains it all then… The question now is… why is your body different, bro?"

As he looked at me, I slowly opened my mouth, wanting to answer him my plan of action. But as I began to explain, my body was at the state of shock. My body slowly sweating and becoming pale, my senses becoming blurred and my breathing became rapid and out of rhythm. Kagura and Alex widened they eyes and looked at each other and Raynare for help, but to of no avail.

One hand was at my heart, as it was aching and in unbelievable pain, like if it was about to burst into oblivion. The other hand, I raised up slowly but shaking, begging for help. But what happened was not expected, I felt something tingling on the palm and fingers, it was getting warming but something heavier too. Purple sparks began to show, which shocked everyone around me, even Raynare took big steps back away from me. I grunted, groaned and growled loudly, before letting out a loud yell that would shatter all windows around the house.

"Oh no… Guys look-! ... … …"

It was all silence, as I released a massive blast of energy from my hands, tearing a massive hole in Alex's house, from the ceiling of the living room to the roof of his house.

As the dust cleared I look to see what happened and when I saw the debris and destruction I started to shout for Raynare, Alex, Kagura in hopes that they survived, only to get a large plank of wood to my face, courtesy of a pissed of Alex who was rightly pissed as he dropped his shield.
