Chapter 49: Heading to Battle

Wesker tightened his fists as he lowered his arms,

"Why? Why would you want to harm my friends?" Kokabiel chuckled,

"If the little sister of Sirzechs Lucifer is in trouble, surely he himself would have to arrive in order to help her...what do you think?" Rias frowned at the fallen angel,

"You do that and you will be starting the war with God, the fallen angels and the devils all over again!"

"It's what he wants..." Wesker mumbled, his eyes now shadowed by his hair, "I remember him constantly bragging about his war stories or complaining about his boredom. He wants the war...and no doubt that's why he stole the Holy Swords...so Archangel Michael would try to fight him."

"Smart as always," comended Kokabiel, "But I'm afraid even with Azazel and Shimuzays' passivness to start the next war, the power to start the next is in MY hands!"

"Because of the equalibrium between the three sides? I figured you would have that as your excuse for your mischief," said Wesker. "But it is no excuse to start a war!" Kokabiel laughed uproarously,

"As if you have any power to stop me!" Weskers' face, to his own surprise, cracked a grin,

"Perhaps not on my own!" He then had Adrian, Calvin, Katrina and Damon join him on either side of himself, ready to fight. "But together, I believe we have a fighting chance!" Kokabiel kept his insane grin up,

"Then you should have no problem showing how much of a chance you got in the school yard...especially since that would make for the perfect battlefield!" The others were shocked at what Kokabiel had planned, and Sellzen laughed into the air,

"Don't you just love it when he lets his psychotic side shine?!" Adrian blinked, and before Sellzen could say more, several tendrils burst from the ground, wrapping Sellzen up tightly from the neck down, leaving only his head visible.

"If you had kept your mouth shut I probably could have almost forgotten you were here," said Adrian. He then tore something long and sharp from Sellzens' makeshift cocoon, revealing them to be three swords, dropping them onto the dirt road. "I know you have a fourth one on you somewhere. Where is Irinas' sword?"

"Like I...would tell you...you fucking...cocksucking plague!" He coughed, his breathing quickening as Adrian tightened his tendrils. Adrian then thought back to what Irina said in the ORC,

It's an excalibur mimic! An image of the white armband appeared in Adrians memory, and he created a small enough gap in the tendrils to expose Sellzens left arm, the same white armband on his left bicep. Sellzen tried to take a swing, but Adrian caught the flying fist, and using his Sacred Gear arm, slid the excalibur off of Sellzens arm. Adrian dropped the band to the ground,

"I believe I also said something about me tearing you apart next time I saw you, correct?" Sellzens' eyes widened with fear, and Adrian tightened his grip, making the twisted preist shout, and wail, and finally, with tears streaming down his cheeks, he gave Adrian one last evil grin,

"And Jesus wept!" Adrian tightened his grip once more, and Sellzens' body exploded, sending blood in every direction, spraying most of the ORC and Sona, and leaving nothing but Sellzens' head, his face frozen in an evil twisted grin, tongue rolling out of his mouth as it tumbled to the ground, frozen in a never ending laugh. Adrian withdrew his tendrils, but he and the ORC saw that Kokabiel was gone, as were all the Holy Swords.

"Where the hell did he go?!" Shouted Wesker.

"He went towards the academy," said Koneko in her usual bland voice, pointing to the school in the distance.

"Then we should probably get moving!" Said Damon. With a silent agreement, all the devils present readied themselves and made their way back to the school.

Before long, Sona and the student council began to set up a dome shaped barrier over the academy, making sure to protect it. Rias was speaking to most of her house, save for Adrian, Calvin, Katrina, Wesker and Damon, the first of which was just returning from somewhere, arms loaded with items.

"Alright," began Adrian, "I made a trip back to the house, and I think this stuff will be more than useful." He handed each of them a small syringe, shelled in what looked like a plastic case, "Revives, in case one of us is almost dying and Asia isn't around to heal us. Calvin, I got these for you," he handed the conduit what looked like brass knuckles, but the knuckle side had what looked like white metal circles, "Shock Knuckles, to amplify your punches if you get cornered. Wesker," He handed the red eyed devil a black medium sized gun with a single barrel, "Single shot grenade launcher, loaded with an incinerary round, since fire hurts almost everything. Katrina," Adrian handed her a large crossbow-like weapon, loaded with a silver and red arrow, "The Bowgun, with explosive arrows."

"Anything for me?" Asked Damon. Adrian pulled a sawed out double barrel from a holster strapped to his leg.

"Double barrel shotgun. And that's all I got." Damon inspected the shotgun, cracked it open, saw it was loaded, and snapped it shut,

"Works for me!"

"How could you do that without asking me first?!" The five friends turned to see Rias upset with Akeno, both of which bore serious expressions.

"Look Rias, I know you don't want to bother your brother unless we absolutely must, but our enemy is a leader class fallen angel. He's not someone you can take on your own!" Rias narrowed her eyes, and Akeno smiled, "I think this qualifys as a must." Rias rolled her eyes in defeat,

"Fine!"

"Wait, Sirzechs is coming to help?" Asked Damon. "Is that Koka-nut seriously that tough that we have to call the devil king to crack him?"

"You were waiting for the right oppourtunity to call him that, weren't you?" Calvin asked Damon, who simply sported a cocky grin in response.

"Sirzechs forces should be here in about an hour," said Akeno, to which Rias smiled at her best friend,

"There is just no winning with you, is there?"

"Nope, there really isn't...unless you're Katrina," commented Calvin, recieving a raised eyebrow from Katrina and a blush from Akeno.

"Well, let's give the motherfuckers inside an hour worth remembering!" Said Adrian, and the ORC began to make their way inside the school.

"Issei, Adrian," began Rias, "I will need you two on support this time."

"Support?" Adrian gave a curiously hurt look.

"I will need you to drain as much of Kokabiels' power as you can, while Issei generates enough power to transfer to us, boosting our strength."

"Ah! Gotcha!" Said Adrian, more understanding than before.

"I think the rest of us can buy them some time to do just that, what do you all think?" Rias turned to the ORC, and each of them gave her an answer.

"I think we can manage that," said Akeno with a smile.

"Absolutely," agreed Koneko with her usual bland tone.

"Hell yeah," agreed Calvin, readying his amp.

"Kokabiel won't see any mercy from me," said Wesker, keeping his eyes forward, vengeance on his mind.

"I won't be able to call myself a Goddess of War if I couldn't help prevent one," said Katrina, tightening her wrist bands. Damon laughed, and turned to Rias,

"My lady! If I am good at anything besides fighting, shooting, drinking, smoking, and eating...be it pizza or pussy...it is being distracting!" He bragged. The others rolled their eyes,

"Yes, we haven't forgotten your distraction at our first rating game," said Rias, pinching the bridge of her nose.

"I wasn't even talking about that," said Damon turning around, "I was talking about just now...I kept you guys distracted just long enough to take..." he held up several items, and the others stared in shock, "...Adrians' phone, Calvin and Isseis' shoes, Weskers spare shades from inside his coat, and all the panties that were worn by the present members of the ORC...except for Koneko." Everyone then made a dash for their belongings and garments, grumbling at Damon as they did so.

"Is now really the best time for your shinanigans?!" Shouted Calvin, jamming his shoes back on. "And how did you even do that?"

"A magician never reveals his secrets!" Said Damon, waving his arms out. "And we might not get a chance to goof around like this again, so I'm making the most of it!" The others grumbled, even though to an extent he was right.

"How come you didn't steal my panties like you did the others?" Asked Koneko.

"Because, I know how your temper is with pervy shit, so I'm not pulling that one on you," explained Damon. "Besides, I thought you already hated me?" He then strode forward, not waiting for a reply from the others.

"Let's try to stay on topic!" Said Rias, still struggling to slide her panties on, "For this battle we will need to-!"

"-to be on the offensive," finished Damon, turning back to his master. "And we also can't let Koka-buttfuck do whatever the fuck he's going to do!"

"Would it hurt you to be serious for once?!" Calvin asked.

"Need I remind you, Damon, that unlike our fight with Riser, our lives will be on the line this time?" Rias asked her cocky pawn.

"Yeah I kind of figured that out already," Damon said sarcastically. "But that doesn't matter, because I know for a fact not one of us are going to die here today. Am I right? Gimme a 'Hell Yeah!'" Most of the club gave him a half hearted "Hell Yeah!" Soon this was followed by all the pawns speaking in unison.

"Promotion: Queen!"
