"DIE!" Katerea screams as she sends down thousands of ice lance to Nawin, "No the one who is going to die today is you" He smirks, suddenly purplish-shadow weapons appear around the Makasha, blocking the entire ice lance making them shatter into millions of pieces shocking the brown haired.
Nawin grabs a spear and throws it up to Katerea who flap her right wing moving her to the side, narrowly dodging the speeding spear "Is that all yo-" she is stop when a sword suddenly pierce through her stomach, making her eyes widen as blood seep from her mouth "Don't underestimate me" a voice said making her turn behind seeing Nawin holding the sword, his red glowing eyes glare at her.
Nawin pull his sword back and kick the old leviathan down to the ground, "Azazel this can't continue for long" Sirzech said looking at the purple aura swirling around the grinning black haired, his sword that is usual shadow black is now glowing purple "The mark is feeding him it's power, it's only a matter of time before it takes control over him" he said making the fallen angel nod.
"Do you mind filling me in with this Sirzech" Michael said looking at the Makasha with interest, Azazel sigh but decide to answer "Nawin received that mark about a month back, when the Kokabiel incident happened, we don't know who gave it to him but what it does is give him a big power boost but also it corrupts his mind making him go unstable, it's a very dark magic, darker than even the fallen angels magic" he said making the Angel look at him surprise "Has he lost control before?" Sirzech nod "Yes when he was facing Kokabiel, Nawin pretty much annihilate him in gruesome ways, making Kokabiel look like a child" "I guess that's explain how he is able to defeat that Fallen angel easily then" the blond said.
Sirzech turn to his sister and her peerage "You all should stay back for now, Issei and Vali are meant to fight sooner are later after all his the white dragon, right Azazel" The red haired turn to the fallen angel who nod "Yes Vali been searching for the welsh dragon for a long time and want to face it" "You mean the white emperor dragon?!" Rias said surprise "Yes I'm sure you know the history of the two dragons rivalry, it's one of the oldest and famous rivalry in the world" Sirzech said.
"Is Issei even strong enough to face him?" Xenovia ask, "Right now no" Azazel reply surprising the occult club "He hasn't reach balance breaker yet has he?" Rias shake her head "Hmm, I guess it depends on Issei's will if he can go against Vali" Azazel said. "Did you know that Vali has a sister?" Serafall ask the fallen angel "…. No I'm still quite shock myself, I think Valerie must be in Khoas Brigade from the beginning while Vali stay with me" Azazel reply "I see, so we know nothing about her" Serafall bite her lips seeing her student about to battle.
Lucy and Valerie
The blond look at her opponent ice-cold blue eyes, her body is surrounds in blue flames while the silver haired just yawn "Well are you going to make a move blondy or should I starts" She said, Lucy slam her fist to the ground creating a giant-wide fire wave speeding toward the silver haired.
Valerie smirk, her body glow in blue aura, she starts to hover up and speed toward the fire wave, Lucy watch in shock seeing the silver haired fly through her attack without retrieving any damage, Valerie speed toward the shock blond and deliver a hard punch to her stomach sending Lucy flying back.
Valerie bring out a silver pistol that is chained to her belt, she fire two rounds making Lucy snap her eyes open and bring up a fire shield but the bullet went past the shield and one of them hit the blond stomach making her wince in pain. "Come on is that all you got?, give me a good fight or this will be over quick" Valerie said spinning the gun around her index finger, Lucy gets back up and hold her stomach 'W-why didn't the shield block the bullets, it's hot enough to burn it' Lucy look at the gun seeing it glow in blue for a second 'Hmm It's probably different from the normal guns then, that's the only explanation I can come up with' "Tsk" the blond get back to her stance.
Issei and Vali
"Are you already finished Hyoudou" Vali look at the brown haired who lay on the ground, Issei shakily gets back up, he summons the boosted gear and glare at the silver haired "You have to do more than that to keep me down Vali!".
Issei dash toward the silver haired and send the boosted gear toward his face but, suddenly a white with blue light wings appear on Vali back blocking the attack shocking the brown haired, "This is my Sacred Gear Divine Dividing" the wings push Issei back. Vali jump forward and deliver a hard punch to Issei's stomach sending him crashing to the barrier again, creaking it slightly.
'Partner get a hold of yourself!' Ddraig yell 'Would you stop being all depress, if you want to prove the Makasha wrong then beat the stupid white one ass!' Issei eyes widen suddenly an image appears showing him and Nawin training at the forest 'Teme, I got to ask, how you are so strong?' Issei turn to the black haired who's running around the river, Nawin look at the brown haired a little surprise by the sudden question, he walk back to land and sigh.
'Don't know pervert, I guess it's from my will to protect those I care deeply for' he then looks up the sky 'I can't live with myself if one of them gets hurt or worse so, I train myself to the absolute limit to reach the next level' Nawin smile a little then walk toward the brown haired and place his hand on Issei shoulder 'I'll give you this advise Issei, everyone have something's to fight for, it could be a bad reason or good, some fight for power, some fight to protect those they cherish which is me, some fight for just destruction and Chaos which is someone like Kokabiel' Nawin let go of the brown haired shoulder 'So Issei tell me what are you fighting for?'.
Issei look at the ground wondering the same things 'What am I fighting for? I never thought about it much since things have been crazy for the past few weeks' suddenly an image appear in his mind showing Rias cooking him breakfast as he walk down the stairs, his parents greets him with a smile before rushing to their work, then more image appear showing Asia healing him, when he just got beaten by the kendo club, Akeno giving him some tea as he arrive at the club with Nawin, Yuuto trains him on how to use a sword while Xenovia sit on a tree branch looking at the two, Koneko giving him a piece of cookie if he ever look down, Kokoro helping him in classes and if he ever get in trouble with the fangirl she would help hide him by distracting them, the last image appear showing him entering the Makasha house one time and is smash into a frying pan above the door with a laughing Lucy pointing at him along with Asia and Nawin chucking a bit.
Issei snap is eyes open and see the black haired looking at him with a small smile "And you" Nawin look at him a little confuse "I want to protect our friends, I want to protect all of them but I also" he points at the black haired "Want to beat you Teme and I will that's one of my goals" Nawin eyes widen slightly before he chuckle and send a smirk to the brown haired "Well Issei I'll hold you to that" the two shake hands "When we both reach our fullest potential we will fight and finally see who's the best but" Nawin bring his hand back and chuckle a bit "We will need a whole country for that battle because it will leave a scar on the world" Issei laugh "It will be one hell of a battle I can just imagine it" the two chuckle before going back to their training.
Everyone snaps their eyes to Issei direction they look in shock seeing the brown haired getting up, vermillion aura start surrounding him instead of green, his pupil turn slit and glow green, "What happen?! His powers just went up the roof" Sirzech mutter never feeling this kind of power from the Hyoudou before.

"Onii-san!" Lucy was about to speed over to her brother but Valerie kick her in the face sending the blond crashing into the school building, She look at the black haired and smirk 'So this was her plan all along, I wonder if you'll be able to survive this Nawin Makasha'.
Katerea watch in shock and slight fear seeing the sinister, dark power coming from the black haired, Nawin clench his neck tightly, he can feel himself losing his conscious 'T-tairex w-what is happening?!' 'I don't know kid, it seems the mark just activate itself!' 'It probably has something to do with Katerea, I sense her power is similar to your mark, when she releases it, the mark must have reacted' Sairex reply,
Suddenly the mark start to spread shocking everyone as they see flaming pattern start spreading from the mark and cover the black haired body, purple aura swirl around him and shot up the air. After a few second the mark stop glowing and show it forming all over Nawin body in a weird flame like pattern with a large dragon wings appear on the outline of the mark.

Issei look at the Makasha in slight shock 'It's the same power he uses against Kokabiel…. I need to end this quick' The brown haired appear in front of Vali making him turn and block an incoming fist with his arm making the whole ground beneath them explode.
Katerea lift both her hand up as her body glow in purple "TAKE THIS AND DIE MAKASHA!" Suddenly a gigantic ice bolder appear on top of Nawin, almost covering the whole courtyard, "IS SHE CRAZY THE IMPACT WOULD DESTROY THE WHOLE AREA" Valerie yell and was about to intervene when Lucy appear in front of her with both her hand point at the silver haired chest "You have more important things to worry about" Suddenly blue flame blast from the blonds hands hitting the silver haired fully point blank.
Sirzech see Rias and her peerage about to join in the battle but he block them "Don't this battle is over your class Rias" Sirzech then turn his attention to Nawin seeing him looking up at the boulder with blank expression 'Otouto don't let its power corrupt you' in a blank of an eye three fallen angels appear in front of them, Michael turn to Irina "Take care of them would you Irina" The brown haired nod.
The group look in surprise seeing Irina bringing her hand up, a golden light bow form on her right hand while on her left hand a blazing-flaming light arrow appear, she aim the arrow toward the three fallen angel and in a second she fire three arrows hitting all of them in the head, making them burst in light.
"Now die, you along with everyone here!" Katerea throw her hands down making the boulder drop toward the Makasha. "What a pathetic attempt" Nawin fly up toward the boulder and charges the Demonic lightning up but, instead of being black it was purple, he thrust it forward cutting right through the ice boulder. Nawin turn seeing the boulders is still heading down, he dispel the Demonic Lightning then both his hand glow in blue flames, he point both his hands toward the two boulder separately "Blue Flame Burst" he mutter shooting a gigantic double fire balls.
Katerea watch in shock seeing her ice boulders is being disintegrated by the blue fire "I-impossible you need a flame that's even hotter than the Phenex's to burns that!" "Don't let your guard down idiot" Nawin appear in blackflash behind her and thrust the Demonic lighting through her chest.
"He did it" Rias look at the black haired, Azazel eyes narrow not agreeing with the red haired, he look closely and spot some kind of snake slithering through Katerea skin 'What is that?!'.
Nawin smirk darkly then pull his hand out but Katerea suddenly grab his wrist stopping him making the black haired look at her confuse "Hey let go of my wrist you ugly bitch" Katerea grip the black haired wrist tightly making his bone creak though Nawin didn't flinch as the mark start healing the wound immediately "If…..

Katerea body suddenly burst in purple magic, her body start to glow making Nawin eyes wide "Your going to self destruct!..." the black haired suddenly start laughing darkly sending chills down everyone spine "HAHAHAHAHAHA YOU REALLY ARE CRAZY…. BUT I'M NOT PLANNING ON DIEING TODAY, YOU CAN GO TO HELL BY YOURSELF BITCH" Nawin bring his left arm up summoning the twisted etcher, he pull the gear shift starting the engine then slice Katerea head off clean.
Some of the young devil look away from the gruesome scene except for Akeno and Rias, all the factions leaders watch in slight shock seeing Katerea severed head flying out, her body burst in purple magic leaving nothing behind except for her head. Nawin dispel the twisted etcher then swipe his right hand getting rid of the blood.
"Is that all you got" Valerie smirk seeing the blond getting out of the building, "Hmmm I expect more from you Lucy Makasha a sister of Nawin Makasha whose pretty much well known at the underworld for being the strongest devil of this young generation surpassing that of the Bael heir, I expect more from his little sister but now that I'm facing you, I can see why you aren't as well known as him, it's because your weak, I bet his disappointed in you" Valerie smirk, she glance at the black haired seeing him standing there motionless after finishing Katerea off.
Lucy look at the ground blankly listening the silver haired taunting, 'Let it out' a soft voice whisper in her mind. Valerie snap her head to the blond direction, she look in shock seeing Lucy hair start to glow brightly with the tip of her hair turning red, her right eye glow golden while the right darken. Serafall look at her student in light shock 'H-have she lost control again' Sirzech look at his childhood friend "Serafall is that Lucy hidden power?" he ask making the Leviathan nod "Yes though it's not her full power this is just a tip of the ice berg" she reply making the red haired nod.

Lucy fall down to the ground and glance up seeing her brother looking down at her with a blank expression, her eyes widen seeing the mark around his body 'I-it's just like the vision I saw!' she thought remember the image that been haunting her for the past few weeks.
"Onii-san" Lucy mutter but she is met with a blank eye looking down at her "You really are pathetic Lucy" Nawin said shocking the blond to the core, Lucy can feel her heartache, tears start to fall from her eyes this pain is worse than any physical pain she ever felt, hearing that from her brother.

Vali turn around then dash toward Nawin and deliver a punch which the black haired see it coming stopping it with his palm, Nawin glance to the side seeing Vali glaring at him "Don't say anymore things your going to regret Nawin" he mutter but the Makasha just look at him blankly.
"Oh why would I regret something that is true" he reply shocking Vali, he can't believing what's coming out from the black haired mouth, he knew that Nawin would rather kill himself than hurt his sister, he look down at Lucy seeing her tearful eyes, seeing that make something snap inside the silver haired.

Serafall teleport next to her student, looking down at her with worry "Calm down Lucy relax" she whisper then tap the blond forehead making her pass out. Serafall carry Lucy behind her back and teleport to the building.
Vali float in front of Nawin, the two stare at each other "Nice armor, looks good on you Vali" Nawin said looking at the white armor covering Vali whole body, though the black haired tone is different now, it's dark and high pitch. Vali see the mark glow around the black haired body 'It's getting worse by the second' the silver haired thought then speed toward the Makasha.
Nawin bring his right arm up creating a blue shield, blocking an incoming fist "Is that all you got" Nawin dispel the shield and quickly grab Vail hand and crush the armor, shocking the silver haired. Nawin slam is left hand to Vali stomach sending him down. Issei appear beneath Vali as he speed down, Issei summons a gigantic Rotation on his Boosted gear and bring it up to the silver haired.
