So this chapter is going to primarily discuss how all of his peerage members came to him. Easy as that. This'll be a huge chapter, but don't expect chapters these size unless if I have that much time in my hands. *fuck you so much science labs* what? Oh, umm anyway, enjoy this chapter.
This will contain characters from Worm, Fate/Stay Night, Rosario + Vampire, Naruto, Kill La Kill, Soul Eater, Hellsing Ultimate, Tokyo Ghoul, Fairy Tail, and High School DxD.
I don't own any character except my OC.
Janus P.O.V.:
I looked around the house. It was tucked into a dimension that I was able to create and maintain with a lot of jewels powered by Prana. A metric shit-ton of them; a pillar is pretty much encased in rubies, sapphires, emeralds, diamonds, and acted as the anchor for the dark dimension. This dimension was only designed for one thing, to hold a floating island of rock and grass, on which it served as the foundation for the house. It was a simple house as well. Red roofing shingles and white walls. A small garden was kept to the side filled with an equal amount of toxic flowers and medicinal herbs.
I just received a notification from the connection with Ajuka Beelzebub that apparently one of the old Valefor marriage contracts reactivated, which betrothed me to a Rias Gremory. Taking a look at her alternate selves, most of the time, she appears caring for her peerage, even if she is a little too greedy at times, but what are devils without their sins? I shrugged, activating my family crest, calling my Peerage One by one, they either filed in or teleported in. Taylor Hebert, Blair, Seras Victoria, Shirou Emiya, Moka Akashiya, Erza Scarlet, Akame, Itachi Uchiha, Ryuko Matoi, and Ken Kaneki. All of them has experienced some form of distress in the past or just honestly wanted to come along for the ride. Honestly, I was just walking around dimensions for boredom and came across them at their lowest point.
Meeting Taylor Hebert (Worm Divergence):
I was only fifteen years old at the time. My parents had decided to go explore a dangerous dimension without me and they apparently died according to the single message that was sent back to me. We were the last of the Valefor family that was sent through the portal. Anyway, I was in the progress of opening a portal to Zelretch because the Schweinorg finally decided to help tutor me in dimensional magecraft, but not the Kaleidoscope. No, the Dead Apostle Ancestor wanted me to learn how to properly troll, that's what his boot camp is going to be: gaining a sense of humor. That's hilarious, as if I can gain one with an origin of Void. But, whatever, the bloodsucker is probably going to troll m-.
A body flung at his feet. Her brain was blown out and her vitals were already disappearing. There were diminishing signs of dimensional energies trailing from her brain. I looked up to see a woman in a fedora look at me in shock before the golden-framed portal that led her to him winked out of existence. For some reason, this girl has a sacred gear attached to her soul, even if God's power shouldn't be able to reach the dimensions. I winced a little at the statement. Maybe his power does, but he shouldn't be capable of sending Sacred Gears along the numerous Voids that gap these universes. Maybe, the old vampire intercepted the fedora woman's portal as a gift? No, then it would be a trolling than a gift. Anyway, I should probably save her, there's no need to let someone die like that. Taking out an Evil Piece Set, I was glad that I was able to intercept Ajuka without alerting the other Satans, otherwise I wouldn't be able to move around so freely. For real, the council would probably want to stick me in a room in order to preserve my "pure blood". I scoffed at that thought.
I took out the Queen piece. She is strong enough to take the Queen piece. Maybe it's the Sacred Gear that is boosting her worth. Placing it on her chest, I began to chat.
"I, Janus Valefor, hereby revive you as my new Queen. Rise from your death and be delighted by your new life."
The queen sank into the girl's flesh as the body spasmed with an unholy glow before all became silent. I lifted the body and carried the teen in my arms into the portal that was finally finished generating. "Maybe, I can get Zelretch to tell me what's up?" I mused. The darkly-rimmed portal collapsed onto itself as I walked into the Dead Apostle's office at the Clock Tower.
After the shock of realizing that she is a devil and a long-winded explanation of how this was definitely not a "Shaker" or a "Master" power through the demonstration of multiple magics, she finally accepted her new role. She justified it by claiming that she should be a monster that deserved to die, even if it was under the influence of the Queen Administrator Shard, whatever that was, it was most likely the dimensional energy that was gone. She seemed at a loss at the fact that she had lost her cape powers, but I informed her that she had a Sacred Gear, something provided by God, which we both winced to. She asked how God can exist if she is being bullied for so long, to which I responded that God probably doesn't exist in her universe.
She finally informed me that her name was Taylor Hebert, former supervillainess and now devil. She crossed her arms as I introduced myself, believing that I may be the Valefor from her world. She isn't entirely wrong, I do have that same persuasive undertone in my voice as its my family's genetics, but I do not believe in following a cult ideal for worshipping World Destroyers. I'm a devil, I want to keep stuff safe so I can have it. She became ecstatic at the realization that she has larger breasts. Her physique did alter to make her more like a devil, so maybe the Evil Piece deemed that her size was too small. I shrugged as she continued to crow triumphantly at a Emma Barnes that she's no longer a flattie while shaking a fist to the room. Keep in mind, this was happening in Zelretch's room, who is now laughing in an uproar at my uncomfortable expression as she kept feeling her breasts. Does she no longer have no shame now that she is a devil?
Anyway, we were able to find out that her Sacred Gear was called "Locust Generation Plague". That is obviously based on the Bible verse to which God sent a plague of Locust onto the Egyptians. Apparently, according to Zelretch, it gave her the ability to summon any number of Locusts with multiple poisons and control all of them effortlessly. She also had a balance breaker that allowed her to inflict the concept of hunger on people. That's nice, it would be a very good interruption tool. Knowing who Zelretch is, I didn't bother to question his knowledge on Sacred Gears.
Meeting Shirou Emiya (F/SN Heaven's Feel AU):
"You may want to go to the Fuyuki Central Park." Zelretch smirked after I was panting from his latest troll. He tossed me into a dimension full of Cucco's. They chased me for an entire week! My feet hurt. In addition, when I attacked them with Dimensional Slices, they would split into two instead and continue attacking. I only stopped when there was a literal tsunami of them bearing on me. Finally, he took pity on me by plucking me from my cowering position inside a cave. Never have I ever been so humiliated. Taylor was tittering on a comfy armchair where a chessboard was on a small coffee table. Zelretch had managed to acquire a Bantha tank to help regrow her arm. I groaned on the floor as I had feathers everywhere. From my hair to my ass. Seriously, how did a Cucco force itself up my ass in its anger.
After calming down, I teleported to the Fuyuki Central Park, where I see an explosion of the most vile magic wash over the area. I shivered in it, it's more corrupt than the feeling of demonic magic. What could've created that? I walked more around the park, sniffing out the scent of magic. The very ground felt evil, baying for my blood. I trudged on.
I finally reached the scene where the magic was, Only to see a red-haired male stab a purple-haired girl. Well damn, that's brutal. I could feel the holy attribute in the sword burning my skin, so I forcibly converted my Void origin into Light in order to prevent that. It was cool to learn that Void pretty much insures that I can change between various origins, except that origin will always be slightly weaker. I mean, it's still powerful, but not as stupid as being an incarnation like Zelretch was. Stupid man having Dimensional for both origin and element. I only had Dimensional for my element. I can use Void to mimic Dimensional, but it'll always be weaker. Anyway, back to converting my origin into Light was able to protect me from a lot of the holy blade's effects.
The auburn-haired teen sunk to the floor, as what I presume to be the Holy Grail wink out of existence. Welp, time to explain that to Zelretch as well. I bet the Einzburns will be complaining within a month. They've been trying to get Heaven's Feel for so long now.
I walked up to him as he immediately looked at me, albeit with dull eyes. Gosh, I hope Zelretch can fix him, I may be able to glimpse multiple versions of existence, but that doesn't mean that I lost my morality like Zelretch or any Magus for that manner.
"What are you doing here?" he asked with a heartbroken expression.
"Why do you look defeated?" I asked, with a tilted head.
"I-i-i had to betray my ideal to save more. Illya, Rin… Sakura." he sobbed, "Maybe Archer is right. My dream is stupid..."
Oh. I can't do this. I have such an issue emphasizing with others. Okay, maybe continuous exposure to Zelretch did grind my morality down.
"Okay then, why not get a new one?" I asked, "You destroyed the Grail, that appears to be corrupted, so why not be happy about that?"
"You don't get it. I have to save everyone."
Oh joy, he probably has a marble for that. I inwardly salivated at that. Maybe, I should poach him, but how to do that….
"There are still others that need saving." I answered, "There are people always crying across the multiverse, asking for just one person to come swooping in like a hero."
"Yes. A hero. Someone that I'm not." he morosely spoke. Well, that can't do.
"Maybe, maybe not. A hero doesn't have to be a Lawful Good to save people. Sometimes, those who have sinned will find it in themselves to save others." I answered.
He looked up at me, him kneeling on the leafy floor of the Park, and me looking down on him, holding a mutated Knight Evil Piece. I know, real subtle me, but he seems to be someone that is blunter than anything. I flare my wings, to which he tensed.
"I'm a devil, Janus Valefor. Do you want to join me? I can give you people to save. You can save whoever you want, or whoever needs it. Anywhere. I don't particularly care about what you do even under me." I asked, holding the piece. He's a magus, so he probably sensed the energy from the Evil Piece and my wings, it's probably evil to him, as he looked at it with trepidation. However, he seemed to steel himself.
"Why not?" he shrugged, "I've already sinned on my dreams. My name is Shirou Emiya. I might as well lose my soul to the Devil. How do I do this?"
He seemed lost. I mean, sure he held a carefree tone, but he doesn't seem into this discussion, as if he's having the thousand-long stare. If he's going to join my peerage then he shouldn't feel like that.
"You lie down on the floor and I recite a chant to transform you into a Devil."
He nodded in confirmation as he lied down. I placed the knight on him. I then paused, flooding the Evil Piece with corrupted light, I noticed that the holy blade disappeared, so that meant the blade is something stored somewhere. Most likely, that blade is in his soul, and I'm pretty sure that turning the soul into a devil may actually burn him inside out. I think that would help the revival.
"I, Janus Valefor, hereby revive you as my new Knight. Rise from your previous life and be delighted by your new life."
The park shone with unholy light as the knight piece sank into it. This time, the light was tinged with some white light. Interesting. At least for him, he's not dying Holy rejection. In fact, his wings have spasmed open, and they appeared to be slightly feathery. So maybe he had some kind of angelic ancestry that I awakened with this revival. I teleported the both of us to the Clock tower as I immediately grabbed the rest of the corrupt energy and shunted it into an empty dimension and closed my connection to that dimension. It's getting easier now to mess with dimensions. I probably will never be able to fully use Kaleidoscope, but I'll still be able to imitate it.
Meeting Itachi Uchiha (Naruto):
"You know," Zelretch began, "You should probably find more of Peerage candidates. You know, you can go look through different universes that have some of your favorite anime characters. I mean, other people from different dimensions believe that my and your worlds are anime setting. I gotta go anyway, Ciao." He left by phasing out of existence. I think Shirou and Taylor are experiencing an identity crisis at the fact that there are versions of them where nothing went wrong and everything went wrong. I mean, I had one when I realized that there was probably a female version of me. Shivers.
"You know." I began, "I felt bad for Itachi. Even if he was portrayed for such a long time as a villain, I do feel bad for the fact that he did this all for the Hidden Leaf Village, who then condemned him. Maybe I can recruit him after he saves Sasuke in Edo Tensei form. I do want to see what the Evil Piece does, at the chess piece usually does convert the soul and then the body. Maybe it'll create a body for a sentient undead." I shrugged, already summoning a portal to the release of Itachi's spirit. I immediately grabbed his soul as his Edo Tensei dissolved before Sasuke could react with Soul Grasp and dropped it into a bounded field designed to safely and comfortably contain the spirit. Luckily, Itachi already felt like he was released, so it'll be easier for me.
"So…. Itachi Uchiha." I began. "This is the Devil speaking." That may have been the worst way of going about it, to be honest.
"How am I still here?" he asked, "Did you drag me to hell? It's not like I deserve to go to Heaven, especially for betraying Konohagakure."
"How would you like to have a second life? Despite what you think, you do deserve one, regardless of whatever you think."
He looked at me. "You want my services, don't you? I've seen way too many clients that make a deal as preposterous as that."
"Ne, ne." I respond, "I can give an extra life. I just want you to work under me. You can still be free." The persuasive voice is quite strong in me, or so I hope.
Itachi looked conflicted at that. "I don't deserve one. Even if it is to fall from the Pure World." Oh no, this'll be painful.
"Why do you not want to have a second life?" I asked.
"I failed my village and the only redemption that I've done was give Sasuke my eyes." he said, "I'm useless."
"Your soul still has the Mangekyou," I replied. "And you still did the deed for your village, even if it was sent by the wrong person. In addition, you were able to make Sasuke strong enough."
"Maybe." This is so hard to do. Why is it so hard to talk to him? Oh yeah, because he's a perceptive child genius. No pain no gain, so I might as well persist on this track.
"Even then, you were able to instigate the survival of millions of people by manipulating Sasuke, regardless of how you regret it."
"How do you know this?" he demanded
"You're in an anime." He looked at me with an awestruck expression.
"Well then. I guess I'll join you." Do people's minds just shut down when they realize that their life can be objectively viewed as entertainment for an extra-dimensional audience? I guess so. I hate having dimensional magic sometimes.
"Well, welcome to the crew." I took out 3 pawns, one of them was mutated. I placed the pawn next to him, not having a clue of how to place them on his nonphysical chest. After inspecting it for a few moments, he grabbed it with his hands. His hands? I guess he can grasp the energy of the pieces? Anyway,
"I, Janus Valefor, hereby revive you as my new Pawn. Rise from your death and be delighted by your new life."
I immediately removed the boundary field as the spirit started to grow flesh and it glowed a dark purple. Shirou immediately responded, "Was that what my resurrection like?" Oh, I forgot about them.
"Yes. In fact, you somehow had an angelic ancestry. Maybe I can teach you their signature Light Spears. I'm pretty sure all angelic beings can use them."
He nodded his consent at that, excited at learning something other than his swords. And on the floor laid Itachi Uchiha, with an Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan? Ain't going to complain anyway, I was initially going to steal a pair from a world where the Naka shrine had a pair of them hidden somewhere.
Meeting Ryuko Matoi (Kill La Kill):
I panted as I leapt out of a portal. "Seriously, Zelretch? You tossed me into a completely female world, while I was asleep. I'm so glad that I had a proximity sensor or I would've been reversed gang-raped, and I sort of do want to save my first time." I crossed my arms as I stared at him. "That was just a cruel prank. Who knows what I may do to you..." I muttered darkly as Zelretch just continued laughing as Taylor looked conflicted, Shirou was smirking (apparently, it took Zelretch 20 pranks that sent him to be the hero in multiple video games and almost 100 comical missions to barely salvage some sort of humor), and Itachi… Itachi was standing there unamused, in fact he was shivering. Oh, the Uchiha curse is a real thing, huh?
"Well, catch!" Zelretch yelled as he tossed a purple stick. Is that the Kaleidostick? I already caught it to inspect it when a rush of prana was injected into me.
Kaleidostick Amethyst Online!
Seriously, a prank already. What? Does it turn me purple and pink or force me to sing in quatrains? I then turned to my Peerage, who are all shaking in amusement. I then looked down to see, boobs. I then felt the top of my head, are those devil horns? Oh no, he made a succubus didn't he? I looked at Zelretch, who was once again laughing uproariously.
"You'll need this to grab a certain girl from a certain world." he explained, "She is quite powerful and she just finished killing living clothing." This is Kill La Kill, isn't it? That's probably why my uniform is so skimpy.
"Don't worry you, little devil. It'll only last for the whole trip there and you'll be able to change between genders."
"Now why would I want to change genders!" I cried with a red face.
"Oh. Seduction. Isn't that what devils do in your contracts" he smirked. The rest of my peerage didn't bother me, actually, Shirou was looking at me with an intense blush as well.
"Now," he continued, "time to go grab your next peerage. She'll be a little different than canon." A portal slammed under my feet and I was left hanging in the air. He frowned then forced the portal upward.
I popped into a city that looks stacked. I guess it's time to get Ryuko? How do I persuade her? I don't want to be a girl forever!... I think the hormones are getting to me. I sighed, men really are much better at compartmentalizing their emotions. I then heard yelling about someone leaving arising from Honnōji Academy. That sounds like Ami Koshimizu, Ryuko's voice actor. I guess that's easy. I see Ryuko storm out of the academy building wearing Senketsu and holding a giant case, the eyesight of Kaleido-form is very good. I jogged up to you, applying an illusion on my devil horns, hoping that the illusion would hold, I sighed as I felt the prana sink in.
"Why are you so angry, miss?" I asked as I looked at her.
"Th-that bitch thought that I would hand back Senketsu after he returned to me!" She furiously shouted, punching a random tree. It blew up into smithereens. Don't trees not exist in the anime? Suddenly, she frowned at something and immediately grabbed her scissor blade, pointing it at me.
"What is that energy I feel and why do your clothing not have life fibers in it?" she demanded, threatening resting the blade on my chest, my breasted chest. I'm a girl right now, snap out of it me! Should I tell her, I mean, she does like the blunt truth and she doesn't have anywhere to go to right now.
I flare my wings once again. She jumped back in Kamui mode and her Scissor blade held in a classic Seigan no Kamae stance. "I'm a devil. And I was looking for people to work under or with me. I don't care about compliance, I'm just looking for work associates in my escapades." I answered, she didn't lower her sword but she did deactivate Senketsu, so she does believe me.
"And why would I join you?" She asked.
"Well, I can provide housing and monetary resources for the first part." I replied, "And you can come travel with me."
She sheathed her blade and looked at me. "Why not? What does it entitle."
"You just have to serve under me and you can become a devil." I ventured, not sure how she'll take it.
"...Fine. I have nothing to do and nowhere to go to right now. So where to now?"
"Well, I have to warn you right now. My teacher is a bit of an ass and he turned me into a girl for a prank." I sheepishly rubbed my skull. She started to laugh at that, bending her knees and pointing at me. This is so humiliating. I sighed and summon a portal as the both of us fell through.
"Hey, Zelretch, Taylor, Shirou, and Itachi. Meet Ryuko Matoi." I resignedly spoke as she started to talk with Zelretch on how to troll others. Oh god, what have I unleashed. I knew that she was stubborn and hotheaded, but that shouldn't have converted into a needless want to prank others. I felt the prana disappear and I no longer felt breasts on me, so it's safe to say that I'm no longer a girl. Ryuko looked at me. "Damn, you made a pretty girl." I facepalmed.
"You want to do the revival?" I asked. She nodded eagerly. I gingerly placed 2 pawn pieces on her as she lied down on the couch. "Oh, how do life fibers feed?"
"Oh, they work by taking the actual life force of their victim."
"Okay then, does it like prana or my demonic magic?" I asked as I flooded her body with it, suddenly shocked at its sudden disappearance as the fibers within her body started to greedily slurp it up. "Okay, never mind. I guess that it works, i just wanted to make sure that no rejection may accidentally occur. Now to begin the revival. Hey, Taylor, can you bring the candles and the pigs blood."
She started to look a little disturbed at the statement when she noticed Shirou's face, who was struggling to not laugh. She immediately lied down with a not-so-amused expression on her face. I sighed, trolling people is so hard.
"I, Janus Valefor, hereby revive you as my new Pawn. Rise from your previous life and be delighted by your new life."
Immediately, the life fiber started to break from her body and writhe as her body started to buckle.
"This is weird." She commented, "I can feel something about me changing, but the life fibers are welcoming it…."
She's still awake. You know what, life fibers are bullshit. The unholy light show was made more eerie when the noodle-like fibers were flailing the air. I think my peerage are a tad weirded out about that.
The resurrection finally ended and she immediately sat up and punched a table. It shattered. She's a pawn, how did she get stronger?!
"I feel great!" she exclaimed, "Hey, girl! Do you want to spar with me?"
"Okay." she indulged as the both of them walked out of the room. Taylor's locusts already swarming around them. Ryuko either ignored them or wasn't bothered by them.
"So." I asked Shirou and Itachi, "You wanna find something to do?" Itachi declined and Shirou shrugged as I opened a portal to somewhere. Shirou walked in, the both of us gallivanting off to find for people to save, while Itachi went to study more tomes. That sounds like a D&D campaign if I ever believed it.
Meeting Ruby Toujou (Rosario + Vampire):
The both of us leaped out to end up on a grassy hill with sunflowers on it. I looked around and noticed a sign that said "Witch's Knoll". I guess that I can grab a bishop piece, huh.
"Hey," I said, "You can go explore, I'm going to save a hill from certain destruction." Shirou looked at me, "Fine. But make sure to actually save them and not cause the death of everything around them like last time."
"I messed up the calibration that time, okay!" I cried, "I'll be better at it." He went to buy some cooking materials from the nearest Japanese supermarket as I went for Lady Oyakata's hut.
I walked through the ward that was set up around their residence and stopped. In order to announce myself, I summoned my wings and stood there, waiting for their arrival. I must've stood there for at least half an hour before a crow came out to land in front of me.
"What is a devil doing in front of our residence. We didn't summon one, yet," it stated.
"Oh." I answer. "I was walking around and I noticed that this quaint hill is going to be torn down." The crow started to growl, which it shouldn't it just sounds wrong. "I've come to negotiate a change of scenery for your hill?"
The crow stopped. "We'll come out to meet you." it responded and took flight. Two witches came out of the house, they stopped within 2 yards of me. "Hello," the old witch started, "What do you want today?"
"I'll relocate your entire hill and replace it with a fake one. You can go to any dimension that you want. The only repayment that I want is something that is equivalent in monetary pay or services." I shrugged.
Oyakata seemed to consider it. "Will you treat Ruby here alright?"
Ruby looked at her. "But master! You can't just take the demand. Especially from a devil!"
Oyakata looked at her and sighed. "I'm old, dear. And the humans are encroaching upon my territory every day. We can't always hide away and believe that nothing will happen."
"Then I'll kill all the humans. I just want to be near the woman who saved me from them." she sobbed as she hugged the old witch. I suddenly felt the atmosphere thicken around me, Oyakata was looking at me. "Don't hurt her when you take her in, and I'll do the contract." Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned indeed.
"I promise that I'll be there for her and she'll be taken as a part of my family. Ruby, you do realize that not all humans are bad, right?" She glared at me furiously, whoops, the wrong move.
"They killed my parents." she heatedly answered.
"That's just one person. You shouldn't let an experience with one person color your perception of their whole race. But, whatever." I murmured, "Do you want to join my peerage or do you just want to be my ward?" I asked her.
She looked contemplative at that. 'What is your "peerage" comprised of?" she asked.
"They "used" to be a human that turned into a world killer (lets just call Taylor that, it's close enough), a magus or wizard whose speciality is in blades, a girl that's a human and living clothes hybrid, and a ninja that manipulates their life force to perform what can be viewed as magic." Dang, my peerage sounds weird if I word it like that. Both Oyakata and Ruby looked at me weirdly. "Oh, and my teacher is vampiric troll that was teaching me in dimensional magics." That's close enough.
Ruby stared at me more, than responded, "Sure. I'll join your peerage. I guess that they turn into devils when they join?"
"Yes."
Oyakata than butted into our terse conversation. "Okay. So what is your condition?"
"Oh. Ruby could've been considered the compensation. To be honest, I just wanted to help you. I'll port your entire plot into a world where witches are more widespread and commonly accepted. I'm sure Zelretch, my teacher, will be able to provide you with documentation to smooth any confusion over."
"Sure." Oyakata looked relieved and Ruby once again started to sob.
"You can still talk to Oyakata. I can provide you to with a dimensionally interlinked mirror to talk between. It's not like you'll never see each other again." I spoke. Ruby then started to thank me enthusiastically, with her breasts pressed against her chest. I am only 16 years old. I don't want to think about it, but the hormones are strong in me. Sigh.
I activated a bounded field that will encapsulate the hill and teleported it off Glastonbury, maybe she'll be a teacher for Luna Nova Magical Academy. I then turned to Ruby and Oyakata and handed the both a mirror before opening a portal for Oyakata to go through. She hugged Ruby one more time before departing. I sighed as I started terraforming the remaining land into something similar to a hill.
Shirou walked in holding a pair of plastic grocery bags. "Hey," he said, "I got the groceries. What do you want to eat?"
"Surprise me," I responded as I opened a doorway to Zelretch's study.
As she lied down on the couch, I inspected my chess set. Maybe a bishop? She is a witch, so that'll be best. I placed a bishop piece on her chest and chanted the magic words.
"I, Janus Valefor, hereby revive you as my new Bishop. Rise from your previous life and be delighted by your new life."
She became unconscious as the purple lighting once again came back to shine inside the study. I sat down and waited for her to wake up.
Meeting Erza (Fairy Tail AU):
I was in Fiore buying some Lacrimas, wondering if I can channel some of my own magic into it as an energy storage when I saw a bright light exploding in the horizon. Everyone scampered into their buildings as the winds of the explosion rented across the streets. I was still inside the magic shop when it came by, so I wasn't really worried. Might as well check it out. I activated a teleportation circle and just spammed it forward multiple times, until I saw a spirit floating around the island where the blast originated from.
Arriving at the site, I looked at the red-haired spirit. That is most likely Erza Scarlet. I know that she'll come back to life due to plot, but this is real life, it doesn't work like that. I floated up to her.
"Do you want to have a second life?" I asked. She looked at me then noticed my wings and jumped, well floated away from me.
"What are you?" she cried, "A demon? A take-over mage?"
"I'm not one of Zeref's demons if that is what you're asking. I'm a natural-born devil. Anyway, this is about you. Do you want to have a second life?" I insisted.
"I'm dead." she obviously pointed out.
"I can revive you as a devil. You can resume back to doing whatever. All I want is your aid in times of need for me. I don't need to order you or force something on you."
"So I can still be in Fairy Tail. You just want my aid." I nodded my confirmation.
"Okay." She responded.
I took out a Knight Piece. "Hold it," I told her. "And you will be back."
"I, Janus Valefor, hereby revive you as my new Knight. Rise from the dead and be delighted by your new life."
The area glowed purple as her body started to solidify and devil wings appeared on her back. "Okay, I told her. Here's a tattoo so I can call you when I need your aid. Honestly, you can put it anywhere." I told her. She nodded as the Valefor attached itself to her legs, than disappeared.
"You know. I have someone that will like to meet you. He also loves to use blades and needs some more work on his swordsmanship." I chirped. "Well, nice to meet you anyway. I'll keep in touch."
She awkwardly waved goodby as I opened a portal and walked through it to Zelretch's study.
Meeting Blair the Cat (Soul Eater):
It's nice to have a house of my own that is not something Zelretch provided. I was able to contract an architect to build a nice and simple house for me on an isolated plot of land, than removed it into a void dimension with a whole bunch of anchored doorways for people like Ruby to visit Oyakata or Erza to go through.
Taylor, Shirou, and Itachi has taken to their new rooms with ease. I think that Taylor is getting a little bit to into insect-based magics and curses, considering that I keep finding my chair weakened by termite infestation. I had to reinforce the legs to stop collapsing every time I would sit down. Erza had finally taught Shirou some sword styles when she had free time. Shirou was busy being essentially a superhero across dimensions. Ryuko is learning things from Zelretch, shiver. Itachi was my silent bodyguard and Ruby decided to instate herself as my secretary and did secret BDSM. She thinks that I don't know, but I really do, and I want to forget it every time.
Anyway, I was in Death City after coming to Death's office. Seeing as how I'm not a witch or a Kishin and not infected by madness, he honestly didn't care as long as I killed anybody other than Kishin Eggs. I was just strolling around using Mask Presence to hide my obviously demonic soul.
I found a cat wandering down the streets wearing a purple witch's hat. Hmmm, is that Blair I see. I would like her on my peerage as she does have interesting pumpkin related magic and will be very good at anti-army attacks. Now thinking about it, almost all of my peerage members are currently AOE damage dealers. Hebert has her swarm, Shirou has Trace Fire after being gifted more magic circuits, Ryuko is pretty much anti-army with her kamui, Erza has her own magic swords, and Itachi has his Susanoo and regular Fire Chakra attacks. I think only Ruby is the true anti-personnel being as her chains can really only bind one at a time. It'll be okay.
"So, little kitty." I said, "Do you want to want to join my peerage?" I mischievously held out a Bishop Piece for her to inspect. After sniffing it, Blair held it and transformed back into her humanoid form.
"Sure thing, Nya~" she meowed, holding it, "Maybe I'll be able to see you" She brandished her breasts in front of my face. I reined in myself and summoned a portal to my house.
"Well then," I swept my hands toward a portal that I had, "Step right on."
And that's how I got a cat as a bishop piece. Simple.
Meeting Seras Victoria (Hellsing AU):
I wonder if there is a world where Alucard was never able to recover from Schrodinger's blood. I guess that there is since the Multiversal Theory does prove that there is a universe for every possibility to occur. Eh, Seras would be a very nice anti-personnel with her sniper rifle. I guess that I know where I'm going. A world where Seras left Hellsing so that I don't have to experience a shoot before questioning experience at the hands of Integra and Alucard never returns. There we go! Allonsy!
I appeared in London, which was raining, in front of what appears to be a haunted mansion. I immediately cast a light spell and walked into the abode. Holding my palm up with the ball of light on it, I knocked on the door to the mansion.
A crack appeared as the door opened by just a miniscule amount and a red eye peered out.
"What.. Are.. You…. Doing… here?" it breathed heavily as the red eye stared unblinkingly back at me.
"I have a proposition for you." I stated, holding out a Rook Piece. I feel like I'm going to die for some reason, I subtly activated one of my GTFO crests just in case I have to bail. The rain and gloomy atmosphere were not improving circumstances.
The door opened and a blonde-haired woman in a police uniform shuffled out. "What is it about." she whispered, her shadowy arm wisping around her, "I don't want to return to Integra since Alucard is dead."
"How about a new start?" I asked, once again holding the Rook Piece towards her. She inspected it and then looked at me. "I'm a fletchling without her master, are you sure you can control me?"
"I'm not sure, but I can always give it a try." I respond, still standing in the pouring rain.
Looking at me, she took the piece and sniffed it, exploring its every curve with a careful eye. "You know," she mused, "I am pretty sure that you cannot be my master unless you give me blood."
I decided to humor her and bit on my fingers, causing blood to come oozing out. She drank the slowly oozing stream of blood and licked her lips. "Well damn, that's some nice blood you have there." she continued, "As long as you can provide me with cannons and other artillery pieces, I'll be happy to work under you."
I shrugged and the both of us sank into the floor. The raining London left behind as a black limo came into the driveway.
Akame (Akame Ga KIll - Post Plot):
"ZELRETCH! RYUKO!" I screamed as the Kaleidostick forcibly turned me into a girl and Ryuko then grabbed me and threw me into a room where a Living Fiber Cocoon resided. I knew that girl was a tentacle addict. I was able to escape with most of my clothes in tatters and my panties miraculously intact.
I blindly threw open a portal that led to somewhere that would keep me safe from that…. Violation. I was awkwardly tossed into the path of a traveler. Holding a black blade. I may accidentally die from accident. I hope you're happy you two. I can swear that I can hear the two laughing. How Zelretch removed Ryuko's fear of living clothes possession, I will never know.
The girl just stood there. She looks a whole lot like Akame….. I can make this work. I stood up, keeping in mind that I'm sort of naked and asked her for a cloak. She provided a plain brown cloak. Now, time to try to persuade her to join my peerage.
"You know, I can help you travel farther than what you can do," I claimed.
"How." she quirked her eyebrows as I flare my wings.
"I'm a devil." I plainly spoke.
"That's probably a Teigu." I summon a portal, which left her speechless.
"I'm pretty sure that only Shambala can mess with dimensions." She remarked.
"No~ That's magic," I respond, summoning a ball of light as a fire ignited on my other hand. She stood there shocked and then stilled, emotions wiping from her face.
"Then what is a devil doing here." she demanded, brandishing her blade.
"A troll shoved me into a tentacle pit and turned me into a girl." I deadpanned.
"You make a ….. Cute girl?" she said, awkwardly looking at my assets.
"ANYWAY, you want to join me, I can give you me-" A loud rumbling filled the deserted pathway.
"MEAT" her eyes started to shine unsettlingly.
"Well then," I paled, realizing my poor budget's mistake. At least I can go to certain worlds to hunt for a surplus of meat. "Follow me."
A doorway opened to my study as we both walked in it. I palmed a pair of pawns in my hand.
Meeting Ken Kaneki (Tokyo Ghoul Divergence):
I had handed out some contracts and just sent them across the universe. Honestly, it was usually just inane requests. Since I didn't have any adults to filter the more perverse requests, I had to refuse these contracts. I mean, even if I don't need them, I'm still filing the contracts that I completed so I can file them in the Underworld if I were to ever return. Akame was having fun being an absolute glutton with meat and burning them through within the day by sparring with my other sword-wielding members. Seras was exploring other worlds for funsies as she was able to hide her arms with the help of Zelretch. Blair takes the chance to try to seduce me with every chance that she had and laze around the house as a cat.
I was lazing on one of my armchairs, reading Real Account, when I felt one of my contracts ping. I shrugged and warped through it…. Finding a teenage boy chained to a chair with all of his nails ripped out…. That's just wrong. I think that my lunch was just ruined. I shrugged the body onto me, noticing the slowly burning contract on the floor, and teleported out. I noticed that a slimy and glowing appendage was jutting out of him, fanning into 4 of them. I paused in my living room. Luckily, nobody else was here, after all, how would they react to a literal cannibal monster becoming part of the peerage. Sigh. At least he'll be able to eat normal food in some amounts as he will gain the physiology of a devil when I convert him.
"Help..." he barely spoke as I took out a Rook Piece.
"Do you want to live?" I asked, holding the chess piece in front of me.
"Yes… Regardless of the consequences." Well damn, his hair is already white and he had black nails. He had the mental fortitude to last that long without asking for help. Or is it because the contract only just found him and activated. Whatever, I pressed the Rook Piece against his chest.
"I, Janus Lucifer, hereby revive you as my new Rook. Rise from your past life and delighted in your new life."
Commence the light show that I have seen way too many and… his ghoul physiology fighting against the Devilish magic. I constantly pumped magic into him as his body was being rebuilt. Finally, wings sprouted from him and I noted that his stomachs and taste buds has changed into something similar to a devil. Good for him. I sat down and wait for him to reawaken.
Back to the Present:
Anyway, everyone went to the living room and sat down on a seat. Everyone was initially creeped out about Kaneki until he found out that he could eat something other than human flesh, and proceeded to start crying and hugging. I informed him that he still had to eat meat if he had to maintain his powers, sadly, and he will still experience those hunger pangs. He had shrugged and continued hugging me.
"So, I apparently got engaged to a Rias Gremory in my old world." I shrugged, I was finally 18 years old and delighted in actually not having people ask me why I'm not attending school.
They chorused their congratulations. From awkward congrats to full-on hugs.
"Anway, we have to go there to meet the bride-to-be and I decided that my Peerage can come with me so you can see my world. If anyone wants to come with me, please stay here."
Only Erza and Shirou left, citing that there was an S-rank mission to be completing and people to save respectively. The rest sat there as I slowly started to open a portal to Kouh. Ajuka had kindly provided a house for us to serve as an anchor point so I attached another permanent portal to the basement of that house.
"Well then, it's time to go," I stated.
Ryuko was grinning maliciously, rubbing her hands. Taylor looked interested in seeing my old world. Blair was still sleeping on my shoulder. Ruby was preparing some of her…. Choice bondage items, I scooted away from her. Seras was cleaning her sniper rifle while looking at Kaneki. Akame was polishing off another comically large slab of meat. Kaneki was reading another horror novel, Dracula. Finally, Itachi was preparing his various ninja equipment and standing as stoic as ever.
The portal flashed open and our motley group came out, prepared for what this universe has in store for us.
This is a long chapter. Anyway, this will probably never happen again. Now then, have a nice Super Bowl Sunday!
Tata!
