Chapter 32: Isseis' New Technique
Soon all of the ORC began to take their places, with Kiba and Katrina taking their place in the forest, Akeno placing her illusion magic over the ORC clubhouse. Issei, Koneko and Calvin made their way to the gymnasium, and finally Adrian, Damon and Wesker made their way underground, down and in an old abandoned mine shaft where Adrian hid his "surprise."
"So you going to tell us what the surprise is?" Asked Damon, using a large glowstick to light his way. With Wesker and Adrian doing the same, Adrian remained vague,
"You will see when we get there!" Adrian said, to which Wesker stopped in his tracks.
"There is no surprise, is there?" Asked Wesker. Adrian faced Wesker,
"You really think I'd abandon Rias like that?"
"Right now, that's what it looks like," said Wesker, showing clear dissappointment in their seemingly fearless leader. Adrian frowned at Wesker, and threw his glowstick behind himself, clattering against something metal and BIG! Damon and Wesker grew curious, and walked past Adrian, and finally saw what the glowstick hit, and their jaws hit the ground.
"You guys seriously thought I was dicking around those first five days of training?" Adrian asked them, holding up a set of keys.
Meanwhile...
Koneko, Issei and Calvin were all hesitantly entering the gymnasium through the backstage area, doing their best not to be detected. This proved to be in vain when Koneko poked her head around the stage,
"They're here," she whispered, and the lights clicked on one row at a time.
"Smells like Gremory filth!" One voice loudly stated.
"C'mout! C'mout! Wherever you are!" Called a second.
"Well I guess the stealth approach isn't gonna work," said Issei. Calvin said nothing as he drew out his amp, and was followed by Koneko and Issei as he walked onto the center stage. There they saw two identical girls dressed in gym outfits carrying a pair of bags across their backs, one blue and one pink, a young woman with a blue low cut Japanese dress and white hair ties, and finally, one that Calvin recognized immediately.
"Mira..." Calvin growled to himself, clenching the grip of his amp tightly.
"Look what we have here," said the woman in the blue dress, "she sent us two pawns AND a rook. Looks like little Calvin and Issei needed some help," she added on mockingly.
"Who are they?" Issei asked nervously.
"You should recognize Mira, the Phoenix pawn," said Calvin, "but those other three I don't know."
"I am Xuelan, and I am a Phoenix rook!" Stated the blue dressed girl proudly.
"My name is Ile!" Said one of the twin girls,
"My name is Nel!" Said the other,
"And we are also pawns!" They finished in unison.
"The rook chick! She could be a big problem for us," said Koneko, although her voice was bland as always, she still managed to get her point across.
"Don't say that Koneko!" Said Calvin, "Just go in and take her out!"
"Based on her power level, she has the skills of a queen!" Koneko rephrased herself.
"You clearly never watched Dragon Boy Z," said Calvin. "Power levels don't mean shit when you have guts on your side! Besides, I'll keep Mira busy, and Issei can handle the midgets."
"Who are you calling midgets?!" Shouted the twins, while Calvin wore a smug grin, extending his amp, but keeping himself from powering it up just yet.
"Thanks for pissing them off right before I fight them," mumbled Issei. The three Gremorys then charged off the stage and towards their opponents. Calvin landed in front of Mira, who was already twirling her staff, and trying to land a strike on Calvin, but he was successful in parrying every one of her strikes. He even managed to lock his amp against her staff, and shoot a missle of electricity behind Issei, who was being chased by the now chainsaw wielding twins. The blast sent the twins flying back, dropping their saws in the process, only for them to pick them up and start chasing Issei again. Calvin had to refocus on his own fight as Mira broke the lock, and landed a strong pole thrust to his abdomen, and sending him flying into the concrete wall, leaving an imprint. He looked up to see Koneko barely dodge a flip kick from Xuelan, slicing half her outfit in the process. He created a grenade made of electricity, and rolled it to an unsuspecting Xuelans' feet, and watched as it detonated, sending her flying up and smashing into the ceiling. Calvin once again returned his attention to Mira, seeing her readying another attack at him, and he rolled onto his back, bringing a foot up, planting it firmly to her abdomen, lifted her off the floor, and into the concrete wall he slammed into not moments before. Calvin rolled away as she fell, and kipped up to his feet, readying his amp. Mira dashed at him again, and he blocked her attack with his amp, making them lock up once more.
"In what world do you, a lightning bug, stand up to a phoenix?" She asked with a mocking grin. Calvin kept his expression serious, and out the corner of his eye he saw Issei slap a pair of runes on each of the twins, and the conduit looked back at Mira,
"I may be no god, but at least I know how to bring the thunder!" He then let his amp jolt to life, sending sparks right in Miras' face. She kicked him away while she used her free hand to rub the sparks out of her face, temporarily blinded. Calvin tossed his amp high into the air, grabbed Miras' staff and chopped it in half with his forearm, grabbed the front of her outfit, and threw her at Issei, who saw this and landed a flat palm to her shoulder, placing a rune on her. Calvin joined Issei as the three girls rose to their feet, rage set to a boil. "Issei, I hope those runes of yours do what I think they're going to do. Issei smiled,
"I've been busting my ass perfecting this technique," he said. He then lifted his Sacred Gear arm as the three pawns charged at him, their weapons (or what's left of them) glowing with an orange aura. Calvin had his amp up, pulsing with electricity, and waiting to see what Issei would do. "It's time to get...naked!" Calvin, Xuelan and Koneko turned to Issei,
"Time to WHAT?!" Calvin looked up at the theee pawns at the worst possible timing, and witnessed as the clothes from all three of them were shredded off their bodies. The three pawns hopelessly tried to cover themselves, shouting curses at Issei while the pervert himself was laughing. He then rambled on about his newfound perverted powers, while Calvin simply squeezed his eyes shut and rubbed his temples, apparently from a migraine.
"Unbelievable. Un. Fucking. Believable." He then turned to Issei, dropped his amp on the floor, and landed a solid punch to his face, making him land on the floor with a thud, "YOU MEAN TO TELL ME YOU SPENT THE PAST TEN DAYS WORKING ON THIS BULLSHIT?!! YOU NASTY MOTHER FUCKER?!!"
"Status update! What the hell is going on up there?" Adrians' voice called in their ear pieces, Calvin made a gesture from his eyes to Issei, and turned away, speaking into his ear piece,
"Gym is secure, but we need to make a memo to beat the holy shit out of Issei once the game is finished."
"The fuck did he do now?" Calvin could almost hear Adrian roll his eyes.
"He made the clothes on three of Risers' pawns dissappear," Koneko said into her ear piece blandly. There was a pause, and Adrian spoke once again,
"Roger that..."
"Akeno is in position," said Rias, "so you three need to get out of there now!" Calvin, Issei and Koneko dashed out of the gym right as a massive yellow lightning bolt hit the roof, obliterating it and everyone inside.
"Three of Lord Risers' pawns and one rook retires," Grayfias' voice boomed all around them.
"Alright Adrian," said Calvin into his earpiece, "what's the next part of the plan?"
"Head for the athletic field," said Adrian, "Then just wait till I tell you to, and raise some hell center field." Calvin nodded, and looked to Issei,
"Alright, you heard the man," said Calvin, "lets go." Issei then got in front of Calvin and Koneko,
"Hey wait! Uh...if we see Katrina on the way there, you aren't gonna mention the whole Dress Break Technique, right?" Calvin glared at Issei,
"She's gonna find out sooner or later." He then walked away from the pervert, clearly aggravated at him.
"Welp, at least I got at least one persons good graces close by," said Issei, extending a hand to Koneko, who quickly retracted from him,
"Touch me and I puke," she said, keeping her monotonous voice, and walking away from him as well.
"And she hates me," Issei said to himself.
"Pretty sure everyone and their cat hates you right now!" Calvin called over his shoulder, now increasing even more distance between himself and the pervert. A purple rune falls out of the sky and lands directly on Koneko, detonating on impact, sending Issei flying back, while Calvin flew forward. After a moment of his ears ringing, Calvin rose to his feet, clutching his head, and saw Issei craddling an injured Koneko, while Yubelluna floated overhead. Calvin glared at the phoenix queen, clenching his fist and encasing it in electricity, shifting from its usual blue to bright red.
"You...!"
