Chapter 85: Return
The battle at the Kuoh Academy was raging on as Sirzechs and Michael kept an energy bubble around the frozen classmates, Grayfia was analyzing the teleportation gate, Azazel was fighting Katerea, the three Holy Sword users were slashing down magicians, along with Vali and Adrian slaying magicians left and right.
Ba-da-da! Ba-da-da! Ba-da-da!
Three magicians fell to their deaths behind Adrian, seeing bullets flying, and knowing his friends had returned.
"Glad to see you guys made it out okay!" Said Adrian with a smile. He saw Rias, Issei, Koneko, Katrina and Damon all shielding Gasper as they guided him to the energy bubble, with Rias begging her brother to watch the dhampir, and not needing any convincing.
"Can we start killing magicians now?" Asked Koneko. Damon laughed, pulling his uncles sword, Rebellion, off his back, activating his Devil Trigger, holding the sword and his uzi, YinYang, in his hands,
"Did you really have to ask?" Adrian landed next to Damon, still bearing his Balance Breaker Scale Mail.
"You ready for a fight?" Damon cackled like a madman,
"Bitch please! I was born and raised for this!" Before long, the returning devils were now fiercly fighting hordes of magicians while Rias held up a magic barrier, acting as a shield to protect her house members. The shield didn't last long, and soon it shattered like glass, sending Rias skidding across the ground. Adrian rushed to her aide while Damon fired off a set of rounds from YinYang, nailing the magicians that broke Rias' shield.
"This whole thing is my fault..." Gasper said, watching the fighting unfold, squeezing his eyes shut, "I should help them! I want to help!" He cried. He then bore a look of defiance, "RIAS! DAMON!" Both the ORC president and Devil Hunter look to Gasper, who had sank to his knees, "Please listen! I want to fight too! I want to be a man just like Damon!"
"No you don't! I'm a bad influence!" Quipped Damon, earning a slap to the back of the head from Adrian who landed behind him,
"I want to make you all proud of me," Gasper continued, "and I want to be worthy of you! I will fight! I just have to! I'm going to do whatever it takes to protect my friends!" All those present watched as Gasper tore the band off his arm,
"Gasper NO!" Shouted Damon, but it was too late, Gasper was back on his feet, his eyes glowing, and a bright white light washed over everything in sight...
The light eventually cleared, and with it, the haze freezing time along with it. The students who were frozen before now moved inside the magic bubble shield, confused.
"What was that?" Asked a startled Akeno. Asia looked around as well,
"Any idea what just happened?" The now freed Sona asked Tsubaki.
"I don't have a clue."
"Welcome back Sona!" Serafall quickly hugged her little sister, clearly embarrassing her.
"Would you get off me?!" Sona complained.
"Gasper did it!" Said Rias, half surprised and half relieved. "I'm not sure how but Gasper made time go back to normal!"
"That's not all," said Katrina, pointing to the gate in the sky, now sealing itself and keeping more magicians from appearing, "Gasper also closed the gate!"
"Yeah! Way to go Gaspy-boy!" Cheered Damon, only to see Gasper fall into Asias' arms, unconscious.
"I don't understand!" Aisa said, still confused.
"We'll explain everything later when we're done!" Called Adrian, "But for now, we need all available hands on deck!"
"You got it Adrian!" Said Akeno, forming her kimono and ready to fight. Sona and Tsubaki leapt into the fray as well, with Sona bearing a blue magic circle, and Tsubaki bearing a staff, beggining to slay the remaining army of magicians.
"Well then," began Azazel, "how about we start getting serious here?" He then pulled a golden spearhead with a purple pommel on the end out of his jacket, "I'm so bored right now, are you?"
"What are you holding?" Katerea asked, growing concerned.
"Something much more interesting than war...call it a hobby." Azazel said. He held the spearhead into the air proudly, "This is the Downfall Dragon Spear. It's an artificial Sacred Gear developed by yours truly." The pommel began to shine brightly as he brought the spearhead close to himself, "Balance, break!" A bright light enveloped Azazel, briefly turning orange before is vanished completely. Issei and Adrians' Sacred Gear arms glowed and twitched, causing them to turn to the source, seeing Azazel in dark purple and gold armor with glowing violet orbs, glowing eyes, a scepter made of light in his right hand, and a horned helment on his head. "Armor of the Fallen Dragon!" Shouted Azazel, retracting his wings into his back, "Downfall Dragon Another Armor!"
"A Dragons' Armor! He can do a Balance Breaker too?!" Gasped Issei.
"It's an artificial one," said Adrian, "meaning the gear may be cool but it won't last long compared to a real one like mine, or Damons' Devil Trigger."
"Did I hear my name?" Damon asked, popping up next to them after landing a perfect faceplant on a magician. He looked up at Azazel, seeing the dragon armor, "Whoa! That is motherfucking awesome!" Azazel then beckoned Katerea towards himself,
"Now, come here!" Katerea created several snake like shadows around herself, and charged for the fallen leader,
"I'LL KILL YOU!!" She screamed, and in turn, Azazel charged at her as well, using his scepter on her as she charged past him. With one strike he made the shadow serpents dissapate, tore her dress, exposed her left breast, let her hair fall out of its bun, her glasses vanish from sight, blood to spray from her shoulder and abdomen, and have her let loose a shriek worthy of a banshee. Katerea turned back around, defiantly reaching for him, her arms growing and seemingly multiplying as more of her arms wrapped around Azazels left arm, "I'M NOT NECESSARILY NEEDED FOR THE CREATION OF OUR NEW WORLD!!" She cried, "IF I CAN TAKE OUT ONE OF THE THREE GREAT POWERS, THEN I WELCOME DEATH!!" Her arms began to sink into Azazels armor as her face twisted into a monstrous snarl, "I'LL DESTROY MYSELF FOR GLORY!!"
"'Destroy yourself?'" Azazel chuckled, "I don't want to mock your hopes and dreams, but it doesn't seems worth it!" To the shock of everyone watching, especially Katerea, he stabbed his own arm with his light scepter above his elbow, and sliced his arm off with a spray of his own blood. "You'll still die...!" Azazel then threw his scepter like a javelin, nailing Katerea between the eyes, and with one last death wail, she dissolved into nothing, "...But I'm only willing to give up an arm for you," he finished, letting the dragon armor vanish as he formed a green magic circle over his wound, keeping his blood flow at a minimum. The purple pommel of the Dragon Spear floated down into his remaining hand, "and yet again there is still room for improvement," he said, laying a gentle kiss on the purple orb, "but I guess you can stay with me a little while longer...Dragon King Fafnir."
"Okay don't take this weird," Damon whispered to Adrian, "but I have a serious boner from that action we just witnessed." Adrian turned to the white haired buffoon,
"How am I not supposed to take that weird?!" Adrian asked him.
"We're not done," said Rias, cutting between the two, "there's still a few stragglers left."
"Way ahead of ya," said Damon with a smile. He turned to Adrian, "Yo A! Can you aim that Tendril Barrage attack of yours?" Adrian blinked,
"Eh..."
"Good! Aim it straight up, try making a cyclone if you can, and whatever you do, don't stop!" Damon dashed off, leaving a confused Adrian and Rias in his wake.
"'Make a cyclone?' How the fuck am I supposed to pull that one off?"
"You could always do the Wonder Woman thing," said Penglog, his voice almost taking Adrian by surprise. "You know, where she's in her street clothes, spins a shit ton of times, and suddenly she's wearing the star spangled panties?"
"How is that relevant?" Asked Adrian.
"Spin, you moron, spin." Adrian arced an eyebrow at the thought, shrugged his shoulders, and began charging up his biomass. Small tendrils began lining up his arms as he casted one quick glance to Rias,
"You might want to stand back," he warned. Rias spread her wings and floated back, ready for anything, and with one fluid motion, Adrian began to spin, faster and faster, launching his tendril barrage straight up into the air, barely controlling it as he created exactly what Damon wanted; one massive cyclone. Damom grabbed a nearby magician by the collar of his robes with his Devil Bringer arm, and with one almighty throw, launched him straight into the vortex, the result looking something similar to throwing a tomato into a blender.
"Awe, sick!" Shouted Issei, repulsed by the shocking violence.
"Alright, new plan!" Shouted Damon, "Throw the magicians into the twister! Let's make it rain!" Damon then reached into his pocket, retrieving his phone, and with one dramatic pose, began playing the song Raining Blood by Slayer for everyone to hear.
"What is this dreadful music?" Michael asked, still inside the magic shield with Sirzechs, Grayfia, Asia and the unconscious Gasper.
"It's called perfect music for a perfect moment!!" Shouted Damon, throwing more magicians into Adrians' cyclone, slowly turning it from its clear form into a blood red, more so when the others who were fighting joined in on throwing in more magicians via shoves with swords or blasts with magic. By the time the song ended, all the magicians had been thrown in, and Damon shouted at Adrian,
"Okay you can stop now!" Adrian planted a firm foot into the ground, stopping himself and ending the cyclone, and with it, all the blood caught in the cyclone fell like rain for a solid minute, all while everyone who was rained on glared at Damon and Adrian, the latter of which was also glaring at Damon, who was laughing like an idiot.
"Okay I am a hundred and ten percent sure you just had me do that just so you'd have an excuse to play that song," said Adrian.
"I did! I so fucking did!" Laughed Damon, "And it was worth it!"
"Very nice," said Azazel, his sarcasm evident as he shook blood out of his hair, "you've annihilated everyone-!" He didn't get the chance to finish his sentence as a massive white and blue energy ball sent him crashing into the ground, leaving him in a massive crater.
"Azazel!" Shouted Damon, about to run to help him, until Adrian stopped him, glaring at Vali overhead,
"I think I just figured out who betrayed us..."
