Judan: To chapter nineteen then! Yay the halfway point!
Slayer: You know I was thinking of that… should we really advertise when we're finishing something up?
Judan: Umm… Yes?
Shadow: Why did you ask that?
Judan: Because I didn't really think of that until just now.
Ophis: Typical… Also you still haven't fixed the house yet.
Slayer: You're the one who blew it up!
Ophis: Technically it's Judan's fault for upsetting me.
Judan: Thanks… just blame me for everything why don't ya?!
Ravel: As intriguing as that is we should probably get a move on.
Modaga: Indeed!
Judan: I'm not quite so inclined to do that. I'm still questioning my biggest choice in this chapter…
Slayer: And that would be what? You haven't exactly told me that idea yet.
Judan: Well it's going to get many of our readers mad at me that's for sure, but unfortunately it's needed. So how about wrapping this up.
Shadow: Well I guess… there isn't very much to explain at this moment since you refuse to say anything. So Ravel mind opening the story for us?
Ravel: Okay… So we here at the Dark Guard productions own nothing but OC's and reality building concepts. Everything else belongs to their respective owners. Now without further ado…
Everyone: Here's the story!

Chapter Nineteen: This is War, What did You expect to Happen?
The Necromancer (J/N the following conversation is in Abyssal)
It was unprecedented… my Abysswalker lost to the infinity dragon. But at the same time defeated the void emperor, and managed to bring up a special bit of evidence. This piece of evidence was all I needed to finally convince myself as to who this Ophis was.
"Please forgive me for my failures Master." Looking back at my kneeling Abysswalker made me smile a bit, though only because of the absolute loyalty that he shows. Still at his apology I waved him off before speaking.
"There is no need for apologies, if it's anyone's fault it is my sister's who decided to betray us in such a fashion. Though I should've seen it coming, after all she was always rather… um how would you describe her Yuloto? It's hard to find the right words."
To my right my old friend shrugged his massive shoulders before answering. "A bit off in the head, along with being emotionally unstable? I'm not quite sure myself, but it would seem as if she doesn't wish to actually join them."
I shook my head at that. "It's of no matter if she wishes to or not, we will hunt her down and execute her for this treasonous behavior. Though it saddens me greatly considering just how few of us are left. Still…" Turning back to Walker I continued. "You did well to find out who the infinity dragon is. I'm sure Jin'wolo will be happy for the confirmation."
"Indeed brother…" Looking further down the hall I saw my brother leaning up against a pillar. "I should've known Ur'rathor was lying to us that day. After all he came back exhausted and tired, plus we should've known based on the people we were fighting. If he wasn't dead I'd kill him myself! In fact revive him so I can kill him!"
Though I understood my younger brother's anger I refused. "I cannot do that; even my powers can't create a corpse puppet out of a Darkwraith. Father made sure of that let me guarantee you." This made him grumble as I continued. "I guess you'll just have to do the job yourself this time. Something that you should've done in the beginning, but at least you've learned your lesson correct?" At my question he sighed before standing straight up and looking at me.
"If you want something done right… you have to do it yourself." At that point I couldn't help but smirk as he turned around and left the hall. With that same smirk I turned back to Walker.
"So… tell me how did you defeat the void emperor? By your story it seemed as if he had you on the ropes until that moment." To my surprise Walker shrugged before answering me honestly.
"I do not know my master. For a second I knew I was dead, but then he just froze. But I saw something in his eye, recognition of some sort, strange but I always notice such things." At this point I didn't really know what to say, after all there shouldn't be anyone left who could recognize Walker. But as I thought on it I came to my own realization.
If he's who I think he is… no matter how improbable… then I have a chance to gain some leverage. With that thought I let out a blood thirsty grin before telling my most loyal servant my new plan.
This is Line Break! Calling Major Tom!
The Infinite Dragon
For once I was the one comforting Rodrick as he lay asleep. Inside our room I let him rest his head on my lap, while he strained against the left over Nether energies. It was hard to see, and harder to watch. He was sweating with a heavy fever, and his breathing though better than when he was first wounded. Was labored and still a little ragged.
But it's not just the chaotic energies of the Nether he's dealing with. Rodrick's also dealing with my own power, though I didn't mean to give him that. At that thought I wrinkled up my nose and shook my head. No! No excuses Ophis! It doesn't change the fact that I still transferred it to him. Truly it made me feel like an idiot as I stayed there, if only I had better control than the situation could've been avoided. But I didn't… and I was now holding onto my mate feeling pity for myself. Really it was quite pathetic.
"Mmm…" Looking towards the sound I smiled slightly as I saw Lefay on top of Rodrick. She was asleep though her cheeks were slightly red, not only did she hear Arthur's final message and gain his swords. But she also saw Rodrick in this state, after that she became a bit inconsolable and latched onto him. The rest of my mate sisters were also quite worried, but had eventually left his side about ten minutes ago.
Even Sakuya stayed with us for a while, though only on the end of the bed. I don't know who she's trying to fool. Poor Ryu though… Oh well I'm sure he'll understand. Plus he seemed to get along with Fai'es earlier. With that thought I smiled a bit before looking back at Rodrick. It quickly made me frown again as I felt my energy shift with his own.
This had been happening ever since Shimi swallowed him. In fact it ended up being a mistake to do that since he seemed to absorb a small part of her. Thankfully Shimi was perfectly fine, If she wasn't I would've freaked out she was my "baby" after all. But the part of her inside him was eating at my energy, his own energy, and even the chaotic energy. I could also feel it searching through his memories, but only because I got flashes of them in my own mind.
It was mostly looking through memories about me and Rodrick being together. Every now and then I also saw flashes of Kunou and for some reason Fay. Though mostly it was of times where they were being cute, shy, or just smiling. It really was confusing, but seeing how it wasn't harming him I decided to leave it alone for the time being.
"How are they doing Ophis?" In surprise I turned towards the voice, but as I saw Shirone my expression softened as she made her way to the left side of the bed. For a few moments we sat in silence as my mouth failed to produce sounds. It moved but I couldn't say anything. Eventually my white haired sister smiled softly, and put her right arm around me.
Pulling me close she laid her head on mine before speaking. "It's okay Ophis… you did the best you could and saved him. All we need to do now is to wait for him to wake up. But personally I think he needs the rest. Void only knows how hard he pushes himself; in fact I believe that's truly why he has a fever." Looking back down at Rodrick I couldn't help but think that maybe she was right.
"Maybe… but I doubt the three powers fighting inside him is helping in anyway. And one of them belongs to me… so I still carry some of the blame for his condition." At my statement Shirone sighed before doing something unexpected, she let go of me and smacked the back of my head. "Ow! What did you do that for?!" Looking at me sternly she answered my question.
"Because you were moping and blaming yourself, really I doubt Ro Kun will blame you. No I believe he'll thank you after he recovers; besides based on what you told us… I think there's a completely different reason for his current state of being."
I couldn't help but look at her in confusion. "Like what? What other reason could there be for his current condition?" She looked away for a second before looking down at Rodrick with a heavy frown.
"Well… remember you said he seemed to be winning until the moment you felt his energy drop. Plus you said that although Walker's hood was up, you couldn't really see his face thanks to the blood. Was it the same for Rodrick?" At that point I caught onto what she was trying to explain.
Still I couldn't help but sound incredulous when I spoke. "Wait… you think Rodrick froze or something like that when he saw Walker's face? I admit that's an interesting theory, but there's no way he'd freeze from…" I trailed off as I recalled what I smelt about Walker. "Actually… it may not be impossible, now as we know Xilo has been to a multitude of dimensions. So maybe he got someone from Rodrick's, and he recognized him. Is that what you're trying to get at?" She nodded her head before brushing some of Rodrick's bangs out of his face.
"I know it's a long shot… but that's the best I can come up with. The big question though was who could he have recognized to make him like this." At that point before we could continue to theorize Sona and Vali came in. Sona was wearing a purple sleeveless hoody dress, she had the hood up and the skirt stopped just above her knees. The hood was also lined in black and at the base in the front; it was tied up in a black ribbon. The dresses hem was also rather frilly and colored black.
Overall the dress was quite form fitting and she was also wearing black tights. She had gotten that dress the day we bought Lefay's new dress. However thanks to her duties at school she rarely wore it, even if Rodrick had already enchanted it a bit. Vali however was wearing clothes she wore when we picked up Lefay, she bought that the same time me and Shirone got our battle kimonos. Still seeing our position with Rodrick and Lefay, Vali smirked before speaking.
"Trying to hog Ro Kun to yourselves eh? Sorry but I think he'd recover faster with all of us looking after him." Next to her Sona nodded in agreement making both me and Shirone look at each other. Eventually smiling we turned back to them and nodded happily. However what Vali did next was something we weren't expecting… "Alright then… remember what that idiot Kuros told you Ophis? In order to help him recover, we need to have as much contact with him as possible. So I think we should do this!~"
Turning to Sona she quickly stripped her of her dress, this made her squeal cutely and cover herself. She was still wearing her tights and purple and black laced bra, but it was a rather unexpected action on Vali's part.
"Vali! I thought we agreed that we'd talk it over with them first! After all we needed to see if our energy would harm Ro Kun in his current state!" I was actually impressed that Sona was able to say all that, despite her face being as red as a tomato's. Still at least I was able to get out what they were planning but with Vali being as impulsive as ever… well you saw the result.
It only got worse as Vali unclasped Sona's bra. "Oh don't be like that; I'm sure it'll be fine. Just focus on restoring his energy first." Thinking on what Vali said I to came to the same conclusion and turned to Shirone. She looked at me strangle until I pulled her dress over her head.
"Ophis!" At her yell I looked at her strangely.
"Yes? What is it? You know Vali has a point so what's wrong?" Both Shirone and Sona gave me a bored looks at my words. "What? Did I say something wrong?" Sighing they shook their heads before taking off the rest of their clothes. Me and Vali quickly did the same, and then the four of us stripped Lefay and Rodrick. After that we all got under the covers. Soon after we were combining our energy to replenish Rodrick's exhausted supply.
Unfortunately it would seem as if mine had increased his reserves exponentially. Now that was a side effect I wasn't expecting, but I'm sure it'll help him soon enough. Although now the piece of Shimi inside of him is feeding off of our combined energy. I hope that doesn't become a problem in the future. With those thoughts I hugged Rodrick's right side even tighter. Behind me Vali hugged both me and Rodrick closer.
On the other side Shirone and Sona did the same, although Lefay somehow managed to stay asleep as all of this was going on. Smiling at the warmth and closeness, I closed my eyes as Shimi came out of my shadow and slithered around the room. She was doing what she was supposed to do, guarding all of us while we lay down together. However as we all settled down I found myself falling asleep. Around me I could see the same thing happening to my mate sisters.
Eventually we all drifted off into a restful sleep.
This is Line Break! Calling Major Tom!
The Red Emperor
Groaning I opened my eyes for what felt like the first time in forever. Looking up I saw a familiar ceiling, confused I tried to sit up. But I felt some weight on my chest. But when I looked at the source of the weight I couldn't help but smile. Chirno was on the right side of my chest, and Ravel was on my left side. However what also surprised me was seeing Irina hugging both Ravel and my left side. Aika was also hugging Chirno and my right side. All four girls were asleep and I was rather confused.
Just what happened when I was out? Thankfully I had Ddraig still with me to answer my questions.
Although he sounded a bit upset. {Well partner you were beaten up by that Abysswalker. He took a cheap shot at your girlfriend Aika here and you took the hit for her. After that Irina and Aika took you back here while your fairy distracted him. As you can see she's fine so don't worry, but after that Aika and Irina took you to your room and haven't left your side since. Eventually Ravel and Chirno came in with Asia and she healed you.} For a second he paused before continuing with a sigh.
{After that they all stayed and eventually fell asleep looking after you. Now with that out of the way… I have to say I'm a bit disappointed that you lost to Wiet Fraz like that, but I can understand why. Just be more careful Issei, you're turning out to be my most favorite and strongest partner after all.}
I couldn't help but smile while reassuring him. Don't worry Ddraig I promise to defeat him next time, after all he went after Aika and I can't let that slide. Although as I've said before… she's not one of my girlfriends, at least not yet. Ddraig snorted before giving me his retort.
{The girl was extremely worried about you partner, fretting over you and what not. Same with the exorcist girl, plus both your phoenix and fairy seem to accept them already. All that's left for you to do is ask really.} With his piece said Ddraig went silent as I contemplated his words. He did have a good point, but I wanted to be absolutely sure before I did anything. As luck would have it they all seemed to start waking up thanks to all my moving around.
However I had to admit that all four of them had cute yawns. However when they saw me awake smiling at them, I was almost killed when they tackled me. The first to speak was Ravel who had tears streaming down from her eyes and off her chin. They got on my shirt but I didn't care to much.
"Thank every deity in existence that you're alright! I don't think I could… I wouldn't be able to… I can't lose another loved one, I just can't!" Her words made me feel horrible while I hugged them back. So getting my act together I gave her a small but loving kiss before speaking.
"Like I said before Ravel I'm never going to leave you, so please stop crying. It hurts to see you cry like this." After a bit more sniffles she wiped her eyes before giving me a small smile. Seeing how she'd be fine I turned to the others. "I'm sorry for worrying you girls so much; I'll try to be more careful in the future." That's when Aika did something a bit unexpected; she gave me a quick kiss on the lips. I was surprised but I did find it rather pleasant.
But she spoke before I could say anything. "That's for saving my life earlier." Next to her Chirno giggled at my reply, though it made the other girls blush a bit.
"No problem, after all I always protect those I love and cherish." At that point Aika, Chirno, and Ravel hugged me tighter as Irina backed up a bit. Seeing this made me sigh before deciding to just go for it. "You're also someone I cherish Irina, after all we've been friends for a long time. So if you want you can also join our hug." Smiling brightly at me she quickly retook her spot and joined the hug. However a certain ice fairy was being her mischievous self and let go.
But before we could even turn our heads she forced mine and Irina's lips together. After a few moments of us just being frozen, I decided the heck with it and kissed her more deeply. Irina's face turned redder but she didn't push me back, so it was safe to say that I was together with the four girls in my room. It was that scene which Sakuya happened to walk in on.
"While I'm glad that you're awake Issei… I believe we don't have time for any intimate activity as of right now." As one we all let go of each other, and turned to the time queen with blushing faces. She was smirking a bit as she turned around. "Be downstairs in five minutes please, we have an icy bi… an unfortunate guest here at the moment…" Her tone turned sour as she finished speaking, but she left before I could ask her what was wrong.
Turning back to the girls I decided to ask the big question before leaving. "So… does this mean I'm with all four of you now?" Though Irina was still blushing she turned to look at the other three girls. Eventually they all nodded to each other and turned back to me before speaking as one.
""""Of course Ise Kun!~"""" That got me to chuckle before I decided to both hug and kiss all four one last time.
I then jumped off the bed and stretched out my back. "Okay then… I guess we can talk about details later; after all we don't want to keep Sakuya waiting. Especially if she's in a sour mood, trust me… it's a bad idea." Thankfully they took my word for it and we all quickly left to go downstairs. Once in the living room I quickly understood why Sakuya was in a bad mood.
Sitting in one of the leather recliners was Grayfia; opposite of her was Sakuya who kept glaring at her fellow maid queen. Though Grayfia was also glaring at her, but that wasn't a big surprise. It also explained what she was about to say before she cut herself off.
No instead the surprise was that Ajuka Beelzebub was also sitting in the room. Now I had only met him once over my time as Rodrick's pawn. But I could say I liked the scientific Maou, although I would say he's a bit nerdy… well at least when it came to science and magic. I also noticed that there were a few other people who I didn't know sitting in the room.
However I quickly became curious with a briefcase that Ajuka was holding. But only because it had my name on it nevertheless… despite my curiosity I decided to hold off on my questions as I sat down on one of our couches. Very quickly my new girlfriends quickly sat down and cuddled with me. Upon seeing that both Akeno and Rias became a bit twitchy.
What is up with them? Are they jealous or something, because they act like that every time I'm with Ravel and Chirno? Upon hearing my thoughts Ddraig spoke up in exasperation.
{Finally! You finally get it Issei! They've always been a bit jealous of Chirno and Ravel, but now they're also jealous of Aika and Irina.} Suddenly everything made sense but before I could make anymore comments. Everyone who was currently in the house was now either sitting or standing in the living room. Well except for Rodrick and his "princesses". Though Sakuya happened to explain why before I could ask any questions.
"Alright we're now all here, but if anyone's wondering about Ro Kun and the others… don't worry he's currently recovering from his fight with the Abysswalker um… Walker. So Ophis, Shirone, Sona, Vali, and Lefay are looking after him. They're also doing what they can to make his recovery quicker." Okay now that surprised me, I had no idea that Rodrick was hurt as well. In fact it made me extremely nervous, and also slightly afraid.
After all if they were able to take out him… then what chance do I have? Although what was with Sakuya calling him Ro Kun? Before I could contemplate that thought further Ajuka spoke up.
"Which is why Rias called Sirzechs, and why he sent Grayfia here to help. We'd send you more but… the elders are more worried about their own borders, after all the enemy was able to get in and murder many of our fire users. Although I'm here for two very different reasons… one is to pick up my wayward brother, and my second is this." Holding up the small briefcase he walked over to me and handed me it. "Issei a while ago I had talked with Rodrick about your progress. Not just in strength but as a person."
I couldn't help but blink at that as I took the case. "Why would you talk about that? I mean I haven't changed that much since he recruited me." This made the second strongest Maou chuckle before answering me.
"That's not what he said. Indeed he said you had become very powerful, and a lot smarter and wiser than you once were. So we decided to give you this when I completed it, know that we still expect you to be responsible with what has been given to you. After all… it's only the second working set." At that point I understood what he was getting at and my eyes widened in surprise. I couldn't help it… even with Chirno and Ravel on my lap I opened up the case to see sixteen red colored chess pieces.
For a moment my mouth couldn't work, but when I did speak I felt… guilty. "I… I can't accept this. If anyone deserves this, it's Sakuya or Ryu after all they've been at this longer than I have." Ajuka smiled at me before looking at the before mentioned two.
"Do you agree with Issei's assessment?" To my surprise both shook their heads with a smile. But what they said after that was what truly surprised me.
"Issei's the only one who really wanted a draconic set; we're fine with staying as Rodrick's pieces for the time being. Maybe in a hundred years or so we might ask for some of our own. But for now me and Sakuya are fine being a queen and knight. Isn't that right?"
Sakuya nodded her head at Ryu's words before speaking herself. "As long as he doesn't use them to create an immortal harem I think I'm fine with this decision. He's matured a lot since we recruited him after all. Really I don't want to kill him nearly as much as before." I couldn't help but speak up at that.
"Uh… thank you… I guess?" She only gave me a smile before I turned back to the Maou. "So… should we wait for Rodrick? I think it'd be nice for him to know I'm no longer his pawn." Surprisingly Ajuka shook his head. "Why not? It seems a bit rude not to wait for him."
With a sigh Ajuka answered my question. "Because we don't have time to wait for him to wake up. I have a feeling you'll need the extra strength soon, recruiting people should be your priority." As much as it seemed wrong to me I had to acknowledge that he had a point. So nodding to him I gently scooted the girls off of me and stood up.
"Okay so how do we do this?" At my question Ajuka became even more serious while taking new king piece into his hand. He then held it up to me and the piece glew red, at that point I felt some pain coming from my chest, arms, and head. It didn't last too long as the king piece floated over to me, but at the same time my original pawn pieces came out of me.
The five pieces exchanged places as the king piece flew inside of me. It was incredibly painful but not as bad as when I first got my pawn pieces. So unlike last time I didn't faint no instead I stood up and the pain eventually receded.
After a bit of standing I spoke up a little confused. "Wait… is that it?" The Maou just nodded his head. "Really? No special magic words rituals or anything? Just hold it up and it does everything for you?" Again he nodded. "Huh… I guess not everything has to be complicated." With those words said I turned to Aika. "So… you said you wanted to join right? Would you like to do that now… or wait a bit?" I should've known what her answer was going to be.
"What do you think? I say let's just get this thing on! I want my super powers thank you very much.~" Shaking my head a bit I looked back towards Ajuka.
"It's okay if we do this now right?" He nodded his head before turning to Sakuya.
"Alright I did what I needed to do up here so if you could… please take me to my brother." He sounded both disappointed and depressed as he said those words. Sakuya was easily able to pick up on it, and nodded her head with a sad smile before guiding him to the basement. Or should I call it what Rodrick does? The dungeon… I do believe he wanted a full on dungeon, but Sakuya and Ophis vetoed it or something.
Shaking my head I turned back to Aika. "Alright you do know there's no going back after this right?" She nodded her head with a look of determination. "Okay then… now what to use…" Looking down at the pieces I had in the case I shrugged before getting out the queen. "Why not go for the whole shebang… after all I do believe this piece will fit you the best." Behind me Rias spoke up in concern.
"Are you sure you want to use your queen piece Issei Kun? After all you only have one of them." Looking back at her I smiled before replying.
"I know what I'm doing Buchou don't worry. Basically I'm copying Rodrick's mantra right now, instead of enhancing someone's natural abilities. I'm giving them the piece that'll enhance the skills they'll use the least. That way they don't have to worry about being too weak in different areas." Rias looked at me in confusion at my explanation.
"That… that's a strange way of doing it… in fact I do believe that Booker San is the only person to do it that way."
I couldn't help but blink at that. "That's weird… but hey I trust him to know what he's doing so I'm doing this." Rias shrugged but didn't say anything else as I turned back to Aika. "Okay… I'm not exactly sure how this works so I'll just repeat what Rodrick says. Aika Kiryuu, I Issei Hyoudou hereby ask you to promise your life to me. Until such a time as when yourself gain your own draconic set. Do you accept these conditions?" Aika nodded her head before speaking with a smile.
"I accept these conditions." As soon as Aika said that
I stretched out my hand and the piece floated around her as I spoke. "I thank you for deciding to join, now become a queen of this peerage and become powerful." The queen piece glew gold and flew inside her when I finished speaking. She gritted her teeth a bit while the piece did its job and changed her. Eventually a bright golden light encompassed her, when it died down Aika's eyes were droopy and she slumped forward. Moving quickly I caught her before laying her down on the couch.
She was still awake but barely. "That… that was kind of a rush…" I couldn't help but roll my eyes and pat her on the head.
"Okay on piece down fifteen to go." When I said that I looked back down at the case holding my pieces. Looking to the left of it I saw my original pawn pieces and picked on of them up. "I guess Rodrick needs to find at most four more people eh? Oh well he said he wanted to have Lefay anyways." At that point Ravel spoke up, albeit a bit hesitantly.
"Umm… I would like to join Ise Kun's peerage as well. Would that be alright?" The question was directed at Rias, looking at the younger girl made the red head sigh a bit.
Although she gave out a small chuckle before answering. "Both gaining and losing two pieces within a month… I can't tell if that's bad luck or good luck, but I guess we did agree to this. So yeah you may, thankfully it looks like I'll get my bishop piece back at least. I have to say that's an improvement over the evil pieces." With that we all smiled while I looked down at my pieces. Rubbing my chin I picked up two pawn pieces. I didn't know why… it just felt kind of right to do so.
"Two in a single day… must be a new record." With those words I turned to Ravel. "So ready to do this?" With a smile she nodded her head before we repeated what I did with Aika. However one pawn flew into her head while the other went inside her chest. The pieces also glew blue instead of gold, though to be honest the color surprised me. I was expecting orange or red for her, so my surprise was understandable. Also… she had fainted completely instead of only partially like Aika.
Although my new queen was now sleeping as well, her head resting on top of Ravel's. Still with that done I turned back to Grayfia. After all she was currently in charge at this moment in time. However before I could ask her any questions Sakuya came back up with Ajuka. Behind them was our black and blue prisoner who was crying in… Joy?
"Thank you brother! Thank you so much for taking me out of this hell hole!" Ajuka only rolled his eyes while dragging him out of the house along with Sakuya. The rest of us stared at him in confusion.
At that point I clicked my tongue and turned to Chirno. "How long do you think before he dies?" Chirno shrugged but before she could answer someone else spoke up.
"Oh he has a bit of a long life ahead of him, whether that's good for him or not… that I don't know." Looking towards the voice I saw a girl I've never met before. Although she did look tired with those golden eyes of hers.
Thankfully Chirno spoke to her. "Well I personally want him to rot away in prison Bennia. After what he was going to do to cute, innocent, little Asia he deserves everything he gets. Still can't you send him to actual hell of something? You are a grim reaper after all." I couldn't help but interrupt them at that point.
"Wait… she's a grim reaper? When did she join up with us?" Turning to me Chirno answered me with a mischievous smirk.
"Oh Rodrick and Shirone found her fighting off a bunch of corpse puppets. Apparently we now have to deal with a lich called Razor. But we'll take care of him eventually. Now after saving her Rodrick picked her up to be healed by Asia. Also apparently there's a good chance she'll join his harem."
Bennia couldn't help but yell out at that. "Again I just barely met the guy! Sure he's seems strong, kind, smart, funny, appreciates a good prank, and is also kind of handsome but that doesn't mean I love him or anything!" Me and Chirno gave her deadpanned looks making the reaper girl blush heavily. "Just forget I said anything…" I was about to open my mouth when she seemed to get ticked off and pulled out what looked like a balloon. "I said forget that I said anything!"
With those words she tossed it at me. When it hit it exploded in white paint, although it only got on me. No seriously nothing around me got hit with the paint. Well besides Ddraig's pride that is.
{White! WHITE! This color's for sissy's! Weak little dragons that have no sense of what true power is! Argh! I bet Albion would laugh his face off if he saw us like this! That pathetic white colored prick!} I couldn't help but speak up at that point.
Um… Ddraig? You kind of sound like a racist right now.
That got him to pause for a second. {Uh… that wasn't my intention.} Sighing I turned to Chirno who was laughing so hard tears were coming from her eyes. Seeing how she would be slightly useless I instead turn to Irina.
"Hey if Aika Chan and Ravel Chan wake up before I get back, could you tell them I went to get into clean clothes. Feel free to explain what happen." She nodded her head with a bright smile. "Thanks Irina Chan." Giving her a small kiss I left to get rid of the white paint. However before I left completely I turned back to Bennia. "I will get you back for this… you know that right?"
She gave me a smirk although she still looked a bit red. "Bring it on!~" Shaking my head I finally left the room.
This is Line Break! Calling Major Tom!
The Spectator
Sakuya was upset… no scratch that she was angry, and the reason was the ice queen next to her. Grayfia was also rather angry about the situation she was in. You see after coming back into the house after she escorted Ajuka and his evil brother out. Sakuya had decided to take charge, unfortunately Grayfia also decided to take charge as well. This led to an argument which threatened to break out into a fight. Thankfully for everyone inside the house, Issei and Ryu broke them up and took charge themselves.
Red also would've been in charge, but he had already left to go "hunting" as he called it. Eventually it was decided that they needed to break up into groups again, only this time much larger groups based on the power of those in those groups. However that didn't mean they didn't have a small group, or in this case a group of just two. Basically, Issei and Ryu decided that Grayfia and Sakuya needed to get over their hate for one another.
So they paired the two of them up, and after another argument they eventually accepted that they would work together. But that didn't mean that the two of them liked it in any way shape or form. Now the tension was so thick between them, that it could be cut with a knife. Although neither one would ever outright attack the other out right. Come close to it yes, but never actually attack the other. Although that didn't mean that either one of them, believed that the other wouldn't attack.
The two had been like this ever since they first met… correction after the first three hours of meeting one another. At first they thought it was nice to have someone the other could relate to. Both were similar in mannerisms, looks, work ethic, and what they thought their duties entailed. Plus both admired the other's maid abilities.
But that changed when Grayfia met Rodrick, he was different than Sirzechs and Grayfia became a bit enamored with him. Because unlike her king Rodrick was hard working, studious, and not a giant man baby. Sakuya saw that quite quickly, then after a few snide comments from both parties… well the rest as you could say was history. Unfortunately the rivalry between them only grew from there. Leading Sakuya to know more about Grayfia than others, and Grayfia to know more about Sakuya than others.
For example Sakuya knew Grayfia wasn't really married to Sirzechs. Both had discovered the other liked Rodrick in some way. So that detail popped out Grayfia's mouth during an interesting argument, where Sakuya accused the devil queen of cheating on Sirzechs. Saying that she wanted an actual man even though he was younger. Instead of the older man-child.
Grayfia in anger told her that the two of them weren't married, and that it was just to get the elders off his back. He was actually married to a lovely mid-class devil and both were happy together. That had been a shocking day for both of them, for Sakuya finding that out. For Grayfia… she couldn't believe what she had just said, and it worried her greatly that Sakuya would say something to someone.
Though her rival had promised to never tell anyone, and for once Grayfia believed her. As for Grayfia she found out that Sakuya loved cute things, though not as bad as her secret. She decided that Sakuya deserved the same courtesy that she gave her. Still that didn't make them friends… not if their current conversation was saying anything.
"If Ro Kun was awake I know he wouldn't ask me to work with you." Though she spoke under her breath Grayfia still heard what Sakuya said.
So what she said next was expected. "Correction… he wouldn't ask me to work with you, he's much to kind to let someone of my skill go to waste protecting you. But still… Ro Kun? I don't think you should call Booker Sama something so casual." Sakuya huffed before retorting.
"I've known him much longer than you have Grayfia. If I want to call him that then I will. Besides there's no reason for you to be jealous, oh wait... you want to take my place don't you? After all there's only so much you can do with your "husband" right?" Her words quickly got underneath Grayfia's skin.
"There is nothing to be jealous about; after all you've been his friend for a long time yes? So I guess it would only be natural to be a bit friendlier with him, although I do believe only those he calls his princesses are allowed to call Booker Sama that. Plus I will be able to do many things with my "husband" when I have him with me."
Sakuya couldn't help but grit her teeth at Grayfia's words. "Well… that's fine with me, after all he sees me as a sister." There must've been something in her tone because Grayfia didn't say anything after that. No instead she looked at Sakuya sadly.
But Sakuya kept going not even noticing. "After he found me, when I woke up and saw him looking down at me in worry… I felt something for him. I didn't know what it was, and although I do like Ryu my mind always goes back to Rodrick. At first I thought he was like an older brother to me, but now… I've been feeling differently. But he only sees me as a sister, but I'm fine with that. Really being his good friend is better than nothing." Though she said that Grayfia could see that Sakuya was all but okay with that.
"You know I also have some-" Unfortunately before Grayfia could say anything else both felt something. On instinct both jumped to the side, Sakuya to the left and Grayfia to the right. Just in time to as an explosion of darkness engulfed the area where they used to be. That's when they both heard a huff of disappointment above them.
Looking up they saw what they could only describe as a flying ninja. Although Sakuya was quick to see his eyes, they were glowing green and his sclera was black. Not taking any chances she pulled out some knives and tossed it at him. They stabbed into him making her smirk. However that turned into a frown when they heard a voice behind her.
"Now that wasn't very nice." Both queens turned around to see their enemy completely unharmed. Looking back they saw that there wasn't anything in the sky. "Did you like my little trick? Now please come quietly, I only have a few questions for the lot of you." His suggestion only made them both get into fighting stances. "Uh… it's always the same with you lesser beings isn't it?"
Sakuya couldn't help but growl a bit at that comment. "Coming from an Abysswalker that's not saying much." Their enemy seemed taken aback by that last comment; however it didn't last long as he started laughing a moment later.
"You think… Haha you think I'm an Abysswalker?! Hahaha! You stupid fool! I'm Mal Rathor! A Darkwraith!" Despite his laughter both Sakuya and Grayfia felt chills of dread go up their spines. Both had experience with Darkwraiths, Xilo for Grayfia; Dust and Lunona for Sakuya. However neither one had yet to actually have a chance to fight a Darkwraith yet. Needless to say they were rather nervous. Unfortunately their enemy picked up on that. "Scared are you? You should be I'm Jin'wolo the eighth Darkwraith."
Though his number was lower than both Xilo's and Dust's… it didn't bring them much comfort. "Now then… since you know who I am, and I know who you are. Why don't we get down to business, I want you to tell me where the infinity dragon is. Do that and you won't be harmed." In confusion Sakuya blinked before speaking cautiously.
"What do you want with Ophis?" Inwardly Grayfia wanted to the know the same thing. But she wasn't actually expecting an answer, however Jin'wolo decided there wasn't anything wrong in telling them. So after lowering himself to the ground, he explained his reasons with slight condescension.
"Well it's simple really. You see a long time ago during the Great War between the Abyss, Nether, Ather, and Void. There was an elder dragon born with the aspect of infinity. I had ordered my younger brother, Ur'rathor the twelfth Darkwraith to kidnap her. But the fool messed up; he told us that both the hatchling's parents, along with the hatchling were killed by an explosion. I believed him but wasn't too worried, she was dead and the enemy couldn't use her. So imagine my surprise when I discovered that she was actually alive and well." He let out a low chuckle before continuing. "Truthfully if my brother was still alive I'd kill him myself. But now I'm here to finish the job."
At first Sakuya didn't know what to think. "You mean to tell me that you're the reason Ophis ended up in the dimensional gap? The reason why she grew up alone and without parents?" Jin'wolo in response to her questions smiled viciously while nodding his head. Seeing his nonchalance at ruining Ophis' life, angered Sakuya so much that without thinking she charged at him.
"Sakuya!" Ignoring Grayfia's yell of panic, Sakuya struck at the Darkwraith when she was close enough. However with what seemed like ease he brought out a kunai, twirled it and blocked her combat knife. Gritting her teeth Sakuya pushed against it with all her strength. But the kunai never budged in fact he yawned disdainfully at her.
"Is that it? Maybe you should've just told me what I wanted to know. At least then you could've lived!" With what seemed like a small nudge he sent Sakuya flying, also in what seemed to be the same time he tossed the kunai. The blade flew directly at her at high speeds. Swiftly she used her Chronomancy to dodge, however despite speeding up her own time Sakuya was still grazed along her left side.
As she landed Sakuya winced and gritted her teeth in pain. Using her right hand she put pressure on the new wound. However she couldn't help but have a few different thoughts other than pain.
That blood is going to stain, and Ro Kun just got this dress for me to… Shaking her head Sakuya stood up as Grayfia approached her.
"That wasn't a smart move, next time think before attacking." For once Sakuya didn't argue instead she sighed before speaking.
"I know… but Ophis is one of my best friends, I guess I just lost myself to anger when I heard what he was responsible for." With a small smile Grayfia put a hand on her younger counterparts shoulder. However before she could say anything, Jin'wolo decided to throw more kunai at them. Sakuya saw them coming and tackled Grayfia out of the way while they heard Jin'wolo mock them.
"Come on! This is a fight! If you think I'm going to let you chat during our battle you can forget it. I'm not that nice of a guy!" With his piece said he tossed more kunai, only this time they were covered in some kind of dark aura. Knowing that it was probably a bad thing the two maids jumped out of the way. However like they expected when the kunais hit the ground they exploded in dark energy.
Not wanting the momentum to go completely over to the enemy. Grayfia waved her arm at the Darkwraith, creating dozens of ice shards that flew at him. All of them hit their target and blood squirted out of the wounds except… in the next moment he was in front of her completely fine. Where he was before… wasn't a single sign that he was there. No blood… no ice… the ground looked like it had before he stood there. Taking advantage of her shock and confusion Jin'wolo got out his nodachi with his left hand.
He swung and the blade sliced into Grayfia, but before he could cut right through her. Sakuya used her max speed and took a swipe at his back. He was cut open and blood sprayed onto the time queen. However in the next moment he was five yards away from them completely fine.
But what was more shocking was that the blood on Sakuya was gone. Also there was no trace of any wound on Grayfia. Both were looking at her right shoulder in shock. Grayfia had felt the pain from the wound but here she was… fine.
"What… What kind of power is this? Chronomancy?" At Sakuya's question Jin'wolo laughed causing her to snap at him. "What's so funny this time?!"
Calming down he answered her in a snide tone. "You are of course. If you can't even tell what I'm doing… then you truly are pathetic. Both of you are!" In anger Grayfia waved her arm again, only this time she sent out a huge wave of ice at their opponent. He didn't even move as the ice covered him completely. Seeing him frozen solid brought a smile to the ice queen's face.
"Oh my… that looked painful, is he alright?" In shock both queens turned around to see Jin'wolo smiling smugly at them. Turning around they found the block of ice empty. Despite the battle being slow going, and despite not even using that much energy yet. Both were approaching their wits end.
"What the hell is happening? Nothing we do even affects him, even when the attack connects! Any ideas Grayfia?" The older queen shook her head while watching Jin'wolo carefully. After all he had attacked them before when they were talking. However Grayfia did end up gaining an idea.
So talking quietly she spoke to Sakuya. "To be perfectly honest, the longer this battle lasts… the more dangerous it will become. Especially with that technique he uses to negate all of our attacks. Thankfully it also seems to work on his attacks as well. So the best way to win is to trap him, use our full power to force him into a corner before finishing him off. Normally I wouldn't suggest this, but it's the best we got especially since he's still holding back a large portion of his power."
Turning to the Darkwraith Sakuya nodded her head in agreement. She as well could feel the amount of power still hiding inside Jin'wolo. And frankly… it scared the ever living daylights out of her. But when it came to fighting she trusted Grayfia to know what she was doing. So when her fellow queen crossed her arms Sakuya jumped away from her.
Jin'wolo was slightly confused by this. "And just what do you think you're doing now?" They didn't answer as Sakuya got out her pocket watch. "Oh I see… that's the same Chrono watch you used to kill Faylen right? Sorry to disappoint you but it won't be enough to kill me even once." Sakuya couldn't help but narrow her eyes at him when he said his piece.
Chrono watch? Won't be enough to kill me once? What does he mean by that? Deciding to find out later from Lunona, Sakuya twirled her watch around by the chain. At the same time Grayfia began to let out her demonic energy. Curious their opponent turned to her, as a pair of leathery bat wings popped out of her back. However as her power continued to rise so did Sakuya's. However for Grayfia it was visible by the increasing pairs of wings on her back.
Soon enough there were ten and she seemed a lot more demonic. "Whew… interesting aura both of you have, but it still won't be enough to kill me." Both smirked at him as Sakuya caught her watch after tossing it into the air. That's when she pressed the button; however the Darkwraith didn't even struggle as he felt himself become frozen in time. Instead he only smirked, but soon it turned into a frown when he noticed Grayfia still moving. "What in the…"
He didn't finish as Sakuya started throwing her blue handled knives at him. He got his answer as to what was going on when the first knife hit him. It stabbed his shoulder and very quickly ice started to spread from the wound. His eyes widened for a second before, to the queens at least he disappeared. But they expected this, and when he reappeared a few meters to the left more daggers stabbed into him.
"Gah! What?!" Taking a look around he saw thousands of "ice" daggers, all in different positions around him. After a couple seconds of shock he seemed to calm down as he turned to them. "Well… it would seem as if I misjudged you. No matter, do as you will you can't beat me."
As Grayfia gritted her teeth Sakuya yelled at him. "We'll see about that!" Snapping her left fingers all the knives flew, and even though Jin'wolo used his technique many times. He only seemed to get more wounded each time he reappeared. While the knives were flying around, Grayfia was preparing her strongest precision spell. When it was done she smirked before speaking to him for what seemed to be the last time.
"It's time for you to pay for your crimes!" Unleashing it as soon as he reappeared a bright circle appeared below him. Very quickly his body started turning to snow and falling apart.
"What… What is this?! ARGHH!" His cries of pain were loud and echoed throughout the area. However in the end he turned to snow and crumpled to the ground. In response Sakuya stopped her knives and got out one with a red handle instead of blue. As soon as it touched the snow, a small fire appeared from it evaporating any trace of the snow. Now exhausted Sakuya deactivated her watch. As she did so all her knives fell to the ground with a loud clatter.
This caused her to sigh. "It's going to take a bit to pick up all of these things…" Putting her wings away Grayfia gave a small giggle.
"Yes but at least we just got rid of a Darkwraith. I can't sense his presence anywhere, and I felt his aura disappearing along with our attack. Seems as if there's a huge difference between lower and higher Darkwraith numbers, that's a good thing to know but now we ne-" Grayfia was cut off when she felt something hit her left side. Coughing out blood she was sent flying, eventually just tumbling across the ground.
When she stopped moving she could hardly breathe, and when she tried to she coughed out blood instead. That's when a shadow appeared over her, looking up Grayfia saw the very person they had just killed.
"Truly I underestimated you, to have killed me once… that's impressive. But you know I only need one of you." Grabbing hold of his nodachi, Jin'wolo was about to bring it down when he suddenly turned around. He thrusted it forward and hit his mark, Grayfia heard the sound of breaking metal but could only watch in horror.
"Sakuya no… NO!" Her rival, fellow queen and slight friend was impaled onto the sword. On her face was a look of pain as she coughed out blood. The nodachi had pierced her right lung, but in one last desperate act she swung her combat knife at him. Not suspecting such a thing, Jin'wolo was cut down his face all the way down to his waist. However unlike last time he didn't use that strange technique again. Instead he bore the pain of the wound and twisted his sword, and then with a grunt he pushed his blade.
The sword tore out of Sakuya and even sliced off her arm from the bicep. Now breathing hard the Darkwraith jumped away while Sakuya fell forward. Ignoring her own injuries Grayfia caught Sakuya before she could hit the ground. Doing what she could Grayfia froze Sakuya's wounds shut. However this had only prolonged her life.
Despite this Sakuya was still conscious and spoke although painfully. "I never thought I'd go out like this… saving your life instead of Rodrick's…" Grayfia couldn't help it with tears she yelled at her.
"Then why did you save me?! I've live longer, I've done worse deeds than you, and you had so much more to live for! So why… Why did you do it?!"
Coughing out some blood with a chuckle Sakuya answered. "Because… Rodrick really did rub off on me; he does what he can to save people even if that means getting hurt himself. I guess this time I bit off more than I could che-chew…" She coughed harshly and spat out more blood. Grayfia couldn't help but flinch as some of it got onto her face. But Sakuya continued despite the pain. "Take care of him… he'll need someone else to clean up after him now."
Grayfia nodded her head but let her eyes widen with what Sakuya did next. Using her left arm the time queen reached towards her chest, her fingers glew a light blue and entered inside of her. Then with a grunt of pain Sakuya pulled out a queen piece.
"How did you…" Sakuya answered with a small fading smile.
"Chronomancy… just in case… something ha-happened to me I wanted to take it out. Otherwise… it would've been lost… Now take it and my watch tel-tell Ryu that I'm sorry… I'm sorry for never truly loving him… also tell… Ro-Rodric-ck that I'm so-orry for not telling him that I loved… him… and… for… losing…" With that the light of life left her eyes, and her arm holding the black queen piece started falling. However Grayfia caught it before it could hit the ground.
Holding Sakuya's hand tightly she spoke. "I promise to tell him." With that she took the queen piece and put it into one of her skirt pockets. She then reached down again and took out Sakuya's watch. Gripping it tightly, after a bit she detached it right when Jin'wolo started speaking again.
"That wench deserved that and more. Forcing me to accept this wound just to kill her, I can see how Faylen lost to her now. Now then what are you going to do? Are you going to tell me what I want to know? Or will you join your friend in the grave?" Closing her eyes Grayfia took hold of Sakuya's combat knives and got up. Despite her aching side she got into a combat stance and looked the Darkwraith in defiance. "Wow… you're really a glutton for punishment. Still I have to admire your determination at least."
Pointing his nodachi at Grayfia the two of them stayed still… well until a glowing red orb slammed into Jin'wolo…
"ARGH!" In shock Grayfia only watched as the monster, she was prepared to die fighting against was sent flying. Eventually a familiar voice shook her out of her stupor.
"That's what happens to those who hurt my love ones." Looking to the side Grayfia saw Red, but unlike most other times when she's seen him. He was currently glowing red and red bolts of lightning were dancing off of him. "Now then… I hope you're prepared to die, if not too bad for you see killing Sakuya was your last mista-" He didn't finish as he was stabbed from behind. "What?" Looking behind himself Red saw Jin'wolo, now while the wound Sakuya gave him was still there.
There was no sign of Red's attack. "Got ya big guy, you should really watch your back more often." As he finished speaking Red started laughing even though blood dripped from his mouth. "What are you…" Jin'wolo didn't finish as Red grabbed his head and forced him to face him. On the dragons face was a blood thirsty grin as he proceeded to crush Jin'wolo skull. The Darkwraith screamed in pain but Red paid no heed to it. Instead he mocked him as he squeezed harder.
"You see this pain? It's the same that Sakuya felt when you killed her, truly I would've gotten here sooner but I felt you die. So I thought she was doing fine, imagine my shock when I felt you come back and then our maid died. Well this time… you aren't coming back!" Not letting up Red focused his own powers to flow from his fingers. It entered the Darkwraith, and eventually he started to disappear from his toes. Letting go both Red and Grayfia watched while Jin'wolo was erased from the world. "Suffer in hell monster."
With those words he turned to Grayfia sadly. "Are you going to be okay?" Grayfia opened her mouth but then closed it before shaking her head. "I see…" Silence permeated the area until the ice queen asked Red something.
"How sure are you that Jin'wolo is gone?"
After stepping on the place the Darkwraith stood he answered her. "Pretty sure… I destroyed his soul after all. No way anyone can come back from that."
"I wouldn't be so sure." In shock Red and Grayfia turned towards the man who they thought was dead. "Tada! Nice job you've killed me twice now." He was standing ten yards from them completely fine; there wasn't even a sign of Sakuya's last attack on him. "Pfft… you should seriously see your faces right now!"
Red couldn't stop the shudder in his voice when he questioned the Darkwraith. "How… how are you a-alive?! I destroyed your soul!"
After clicking his tongue in disappointment Jin'wolo spoke. "Yes you did… it was painful. Seriously I don't want to go through that again, but here's the thing… You destroyed my soul, not my spirit. There's a difference you see… the soul is the connection between the mind, body, and spirit. In order to stop a Darkwraith from coming back you need to do one of two things… Destroy his or her spirit. This is impossible considering all spirits are one hundred percent indestructible. As for the second way… I don't want to tell you."
Red couldn't help but growl as he created ten red orbs around him. "Fine then I'll just keep killing you until you can't come back!" At his comeback Jin'wolo held up his hands in surrender.
"Nah uh uh! Sorry but I've had enough for today. So I must bid you all adieu for now, but remember I always come back to finish the job. And I will take care of my business with the infinity dragonet eventually, toodaloo!~" In anger Red launched his sphere's of energy at the Darkwraith. However like before they hit him directly, but when the smoke cleared there wasn't any trace of him left.
In anger Red roared at having let his enemy get away. As for Grayfia… she only fell back down to Sakuya's side. She was disappointed in herself for not killing the Darkwraith, but what's more… she felt guilty for not dying instead of her fellow queen. And with those thoughts her cold persona faded away and she started crying.
Looking back Red saw what was happening and turned away. What do we do now? We lost one of our own… and this time… they're not coming back. I'm sorry for failing you Rodrick… I had promised to watch over everyone if you were incapacitated. I'm sorry for not being able to keep that promise. With those thoughts he closed his eyes tightly as a single tear rolled out from his left eye.
Today was a sad day indeed…
