Chapter 86: Khaos Rising
"Vali!" Shouted Issei, "You're the one who betrayed us!" Damon turned to his invisible wall,
"There are probably half a dozen readers that are going to bitch about this being predictable at the end of this arc." He refocused his attention back on the matter at hand. Azazel climbed out of the crater, casually dusting himself off,
"I can understand," he said, not even hinting any rage inside himself, "but there is something I want to ask you..." Azazel spread his wings and flew up, meeting Vali in the air. "You know Shimuzay, my Vice Governor General. Well he's recently informed me of a faction that has been gathering the dangerous elements and members of the three great powers." Both Vali and Azazel narrowed their eyes, "What was it called again? Oh right, the Chaos Brigade."
"Chaos sounds accurate," said Sirzechs.
"Whoever is in charge must be strong," said Serafall, "but who would want to gather such dangerous people together?"
"I can answer that." All eyes turned to Blizy, who had appeared from out of nowhere, and it just occured to Adrian that Blizy had been missing since Gasper fixed time. "The Khaos Brigade was founded and led by two people, one being Kessler, for the purpose of killing Zeus..." Adrian and Katrina clenched their fists at both names mentioned, "...but since he's dead, that leaves the other leader, Ophis, the Infinite Dragon God."
"I got a bad feeling about this," said Damon.
"The dragon so powerful even God was afraid of him?! It can't be!!" Said Rias.
"Yes, it is true I have sided with Ophis," said Vali, "but trust me, neither one of us has a slight interest in world domination. We'de simply a group who formed in order to use our power, that's all."
"'In order to use our...?' Motherfucker you've been using your power!" Shouted Damon.
"Well that makes more sense," said Azazel, "conspiring with Katerea seemed a little beneath you, but considering both of you had devil titles stolen from you I wasn't sure." Everyone wore startled expressions as this new information came to light,
"He's a devil king descendant too?!" Asked Serafall.
"He can't be serious!!" Shouted Katrina. Vali held himself up proudly,
"My name is Vali Lucifer."
"What?!" Sirzechs murmured.
"'Lucifer?!'" Issei fretted.
"Not good," Adrian stated.
"Oh WHAT the FUCK EVER!!!" Shouted Damon, powering himself up, and leaping into the air, "He's just another whiney pretty boy bitch who needs his ass kicked!!" Before anyone could stop him, Damon charged right at Vali, Rebellion at the ready, only for Vali to grab the sword with one hand, and plant the other right on the hunters face,
"Divide!" Shouted Albion, draining all of Damons' power in one shot, causing his Devil Trigger to expire instantly, and with one powerful spin, Vali sent him flying towards the larger forcefield surrounding the school, a loud bing being heard from the impact.
"As I was saying, I am a direct descendent of one of the dead devil kings," continued Vali, returning his attention to the remaining group. "My mother was a human, so I'm a halfblood." Adrian used his hunter sense, and sure enough, he saw Valis' DNA contained both human and devil in him. "My father was the grandson of the former great devil king Lucifer."
"No...it can't be!" Said Rias.
"Of course..." said Sirzechs, "...half human, there's no way we could have known."
"While you have the blood of a real devil king, since you are also a human you just happen to be able to be possessed by the Vanishing Dragon," stated Azazel. He raised his remaining arm, "So basically you're entire exsistance is a joke." Vali scoffed,
"I would go with miracle personally..." he said, and behind his Balance Breaker wings appeared eight massive devil wings, "...but to each their own."
"Dear God..." Michael gasped, taking in the sight of the White Dragon Emperor, all his wings unfurled.
"Something tells me this will be the best White Dragon Emperor this world will ever see," said Azazel, "past, present and future."
"The best dragon ever? I doubt it," said Adrian.
"Adrian Michaels! Issei Hyouduo!" Vali called out, gaining both boys attention, "Fate can be cruel, wouldn't you both agree?"
"Yeah, maybe," said Issei relunctantly. Adrian simply kept quiet.
"I am the strongest dragon, and carry with me the blood of a devil king," Vali lightly bragged, "but you are just a lowly human Issei. Before you became a student you weren't even an impressive student in highschool. That is to say besides the Boosted Gear you are nothing." Vali turned directly to Adrian, "And you...you are worse than nothing. You let some terrorist steal your humanity from you, turn you into a monster without a real face, and you embraced it without hesitation, even knowing what it had done to your friends, how it scarred your father into disowning you, and how those closest to you are truly afraid of what you're capable of." Adrian barely managed to keep his rage under control as Vali continued, "It's dissappointing...it's so dissappointing it's funny. Even though we are rival Sacred Gears, Issei, we are as far apart as the sky is from the earth, and you Adrian, it's the sky from the center of the earth. Actually, it's more than that-."
"Is there a point you're trying to make here, Vali?" Asked Adrian, growing annoyed with Valis' gloating.
"I do. I want you two to try harder," Adrian furrowed his brow in confusion, "I think you two should become a pair of avengers." Everyone then heard Damon shout out loud from the long distance of Valis' throw,
"Sorry, Nick Fury isn't around to recruit them asshole!" Vali groaned,
"Not that kind of avengers, idiot," Vali said, surprisingly calm as he refocused on Adrian and Issei, "I mean the kind they will become once I kill their parents." In the blink of an eye, Adrian was right in front of Vali, let loose a cough, bringing one hand to the top of the white dragons helment, and pulled him close enough that they were practically touching,
"Get this straight, White Trash Dragon, come near Isseis' parents and I will kill you. Come near my mom and you will find out in the worst of ways that there are things far worse than death." Adrian shoved Vali back, ready to start tearing him apart, only for the silver haired boy to start laughing.
"'Tear me apart?' You? With all your weaknesses?"
"What're you talking about?"
"You think that cough was a coincidence?" Adrians' eyes widened, and he slowly felt a familiar pain in his lungs, causing him to cough and sputter. He frantically looked around, trying to find the source, but Vali gave it away,
"I'm afraid you won't find the source of what's causing your lungs to inflamate, but I can tell you what it is...it's Bloodtox." Adrian scowled at Vali as he began to falter in the air, "I was wanting to fight one dragon for now, to see if either one is truly worth my time." Vali then swung a roundhouse kick at Adrians' head, making him fall out of the sky and land roughly next to his friends.
"Adrian!" Rias and the others rushed to his side, save for Damon, who was still missing, and Issei, whose rage was growing more and more by the second.
"I'm so gonna kill this asshole!" He muttered, his eyes shadowed by his hair. Rias gave Issei a stunned look,
"Issei!"
"Why should any of our parents have to die for his damn convience?" Issei asked. "Like I would just sit idley by and let him TAKE IT FROM US?!!" Isseis arm band glowed brightly, shredding his sleeve, and with one powerful burst from his Sacred Gear, Issei was encased in a red and yellow armor, decorated with green gemstones, and almost mirrored Valis' armor.
"Welsh Dragon! Aura Booster!" Yelled Ddraig.
"No one hurts the people we care about! I don't care who they are!" Issei shouted, consumed by rage. All eyes stared in complete awe, with Katrina being the first to speak,
"Is that...?"
"It's his Balance Breaker!" Said Rias, finishing Katrinas' thought.
"Look Albion," said Vali, "the boys powers have gone up exponentially."
"The Sacred Gear uses strong feelings to sustain its power," said Albion, "what you're facing right now is pure rage...well done. That is one of the most appropriate ways to draw out the dragon."
"So what you're saying is that I'm better at drawing out his dragon than he is at being one," said Vali, making sure Issei was listening.
"Yeah, keep talking douche bag!" Growled Issei, "ASCALON!!" The blade of the Dragonslayer popped out of Isseis' wrist, and the Red Dragon tried to take a swipe at Vali, barely missing.
"The Dragonslayer? I won't be able to deflect one cut from that," said Albion.
"Alright, I'll have to make sure he doesn't cut me!" Said Vali, and the two dragons clashed in the sky, red and white energy lighting up the sky.
Back on the ground, most of the group was watching the battle in the sky, except for Adrian, who was now coughing and puking blood, Rias, who was by his side, and Katrina who had had enough,
"Alright, while those two dragon dicks are fighting up there, I'm going to find the Bloodtox, that way Adrian can join in."
Cli-click!
Katrina turned around, seeing Blizy standing in her way, a handgun in her grip, and from the way it felt upon looking at it, it was loaded with blessed bullets. Blizy shook her head,
"I'm afraid I can't let you do that..."
