Chapter 53: First Strike on Kokabiel

Rias and Adrian made their way to centerfield, with Issei not far behind, each of the boys charging up their Sacred Gear arms, or in Adrians case, draining Kokabiel of his energy.

"Issei!" Called Adrian. The Red Dragon ran up to the Devil Virus,

"Yeah?" Adrian grabbed Isseis' hand and placed it in Rias', replacing his own,

"You need to give Rias the stored up energy you have on you." Issei stared at Adrian in surprise,

"Me?!"

"Yes you, because I got a plan." Issei nodded, and when his Sacred Gear arm was charged up, he transfered his power to Rias, making her moan in the process. Rias then had that same green glow as before, and she charged up her own magic. The ground began to tremble from the sheer force, making the others gasp.

"Holy shit!" Shouted Issei.

"She's amazing!" Gasped Asia.

"If this doesn't spell doom for Koka-nuts, I don't know what will!" Laughed Damon. Rias was still charging her magic, and Kokabiel began to laugh,

"Now things are getting interesting!" He said with malicious glee, "Yes, what you've got there is a devils power to the highest degree! You've been blessed with power that is on par with that of your big bad brother, little girl!" Rias readied several magic circles, preparing a barrage of dark energy, and her eyes shot open,

"In that case begone!" She fired the blast, which Kokabiel blocked with his bare hands,

"So much better and far more interesting! Almost as good as Sirzechs!" Rias grunted and screamed, unleashing more dark energy at the fallen angel, until the glow of her magic faded, and she fell to the ground. Kokabiel then dispersed the magic thrown at him with ease,

"Rias!" Shouted Adrian and Issei in unison, the first mentioned helping her lean up. The crimson haired she-devil leaned up, running a hand through her hair before she looked up,

"No! Calvin! Akeno!" Everyone then saw the Last Conduit and the Priestess of Thunder high up in the sky, ready to fire lightning at Kokabiel.

"Caution: High Voltage!!" Shouted Calvin, and his blue lightning merged with Akenos' yellow lightning, creating a massive swirl of electricity. Kokabiel wrapped himself in his wings, blocking the attack as the two lightning users continued their barrage.

"Is it she, who possesses Baraqiels' power who's trying to fight?" Kokabiel asked tauntingly.

"Bara-who?" Asked Calvin.

"Don't you dare say that name! I AM NOTHING LIKE THAT CREATURE!" Bellowed Akeno, increasing her power and showing a rage Calvin and the others have not seen before.

"What's a Baraqiel?" Asked Issei.

"One of the fallen angel leaders," said Wesker, "Hell of a man, and was one of the fallen that vouched for me to be transfered from Kokabiel to Raynare."

"He also uses thunder and lightning," said Xenovia, "So basically Akenos' power." A thought occurred to Wesker, and he looked to Adrian, and the two shared the safe thought, looking to Akeno.

"Could Akeno be...Baraqiels...?" Adrian began, but his question trailed off as Akeno ran out of power. Kokabiel cackled as Calvin moved himself in front of Akeno, ready to defend her,

"Oh dear, say it isn't so! Why choose to fall so far as to be a devil? What an amusing house you have Rias!" Kokabiel jeered. He turned to Issei as he began to list off the members he found amusing, "The Red Dragon Emperor..." he turned to Adrian, "...some disease of a dragon I've never even heard of..." next was Kiba, "...a ruined Holy Sword project subject..." he turned to Wesker, who was starting to seethe more than before, "...a pathetic excuse of a fallen angel who fell further..."

"Are you just going to go through the whole damn house man? Some of us have better things to do!" Interrupted Damon.

"...a smart mouthed devil who is far from home..." continued Kokabiel, raising an eyebrow at Damon, then turned his attention to Katrina as she flew up to join Calvin and Akeno, "...a false goddess..." he turned his attention to Calvin, "...a lone conduit, and Baraqiels daughter!" All eyes turned to Akeno, not hiding their surprise.

"Akeno, your father is a fallen angel?" Asked Calvin, who turned her head in shame.

"No, it can't be!" Said Xenovia in shock. Kokabiel chuckled,

"How terribly amusing! A propensity for inferior products must run in the family." Rias gritted her teeth, and stood defiantly,

"Your insulting comments about my brother will not be tolerated, but for insulting my servants you will pay the ultimate price and die!" Magic flared from Rias in her rage, and Kokabiel dived out of the sky, landing on his feet on the athletic field as he retracted his wings.

"By all means, go ahead and try, lover of the Blacklight, Princess of Ruin, and the Devil Kings' baby sister!" He shouted. "You do realize you are facing the archenemy of devils. You may as well take advantage of the situation, you will never get it again!" Rias continued to glare at Kokabiel, but it was Adrian who stepped forward, the gems in his Sacred Gear arm glowing brightly.

"Utter one more syllable about Rias, and you will have a pissed off Devil Virus out to destroy you. Utter one more syllable about Akeno, and you will have a pissed off Devil Virus, Conduit, AND Goddess out to destroy you. You got that, Koka-nuts?" The ORC looked to Adrian, stunned at his words, while Kokabiel formed a sword of light with a grin,

"You must be insane!"

"Perhaps," shrugged Adrian, "But there is three things I KNOW I am; The holder of the Blacklight Virus, the partner of Penglog the Bone Dragon, and the wielder of the RAVENOUS REAPER SACRED GEAR!!!" Adrian raised his Sacred Gear arm, the light shining brighter than before, briefly turning violet, and Adrian was encased in his Balance Breaker Scale Mail. Kokabiel laughed,

"Now THAT looks like the perfect cure fo my boredom!" He said, readying a second light sword in his free hand.

"You like this?" Asked Adrian, not waiting for an answer, "Good, because I was simply the distraction."

Wham!Kokabiel was propelled foward, not even noticing Wesker standing right behind him, a magic circle on his hand which he used to land a palm strike on Kokabiels back. As he was flying forward, Adrian formed his hammer fists, spinning once, twice, thrice, and landing a heavy hit to Kokabiels' face, sending him flying back, where Katrina had just landed, aiming the bowgun Adrian gifted her, fired it right below where Kokabiel was about to be, and the bolt detonated on impact. The blast sent the fallen angel flying up, where Calvin was waiting, and fired down a lightning vortex, sending him crashing back down to the ground. All eyes focused on Kokabiel, and they all saw him slowly rise up to his feet, wiping a small trickle of blood from his lip.

"You hurt me...!" He said in shock.

"Issei! Start powering up your Sacred Gear! Kiba, Xenovia, Damon, try to buy Issei some time and go ape shit on that bastard!" Kiba and Xenovia vanished in response, while Damon gave Adrian a salute and ran to the fallen angel. Kiba and Xenovia each tried to land a strike with their respective sword on Kokabiel, but he already had his light swords ready and blocked them. His grin slowly began to return,

"Oh! What's more fun than Holy Sword and Holy Devil Sword strikes at the same time?!" He then focused his vision right in front of himself, seeing Damon aiming Black Dahlia right at his nose,

"I can think of a couple of things," quipped the former devil hunter, casually glancing up to see Koneko about to land on top of the insane fallen. Unfortunately, Kokabiel already saw it coming, and unleashed his wings in every direction, slashing all four opponents, knocking Damons gun out of his hand, and giving Koneko the brunt of the attack. Kiba and Xenovia landed hard on the ground not far from Kokabiel, while Damon landed on his feet a good distance away, with Koneko soaring through the air, almost nude and covered in cuts. Damon saw her, leapted up as fast and as hard as he could, and caught her in his arms, putting himself underneath her as they landed roughly on the ground, first sliding with Damon on bottom, then rolling across the ground with them ending with Koneko on the ground, looking up at Damon with a dazed look.

"I tried to catch you," said Damon, removing his coat and leaning her up, draping his coat onto her shoulders and fastening the front buttons, covering her.

"You tried, that's what matters," she said, trying to keep her blank poker face up, but her blush kept her from doing so. Issei and Asia rushed to the two, and Asia started to heal her. Damon rose to his feet, clenching his fists,

"You're fucking screwed Kokabiel!" Shouted Damon, and he drew out both the Green Knight and Rebellion, and right in front of everyone, he unleashed the devil trigger, summoning his green armor and the red spirit.

"This is new," said Kokabiel, admiring Damons' new form.

"It's called the Devil Trigger, what some devil hybrids back where I'm from could do." Damon charged at Kokabiel, swords ready, while the fallen angel summoned his light swords, and the two locked blades, ready for a showdown!
