Chapter 153: Lending Power
Issei then charged for Zeus, and the devil god charged for him right back, and Isseis' Ascalon clashed against Zeus' shield, while Zeus slashed at Issei with his blade, barely catching the bottom of Isseis' shirt and ripping the hem. The two began to clash as the battle between Adrian, his friends and the Blacklight ORC raged on; Adrian was barely managing to absorb some of Blacklight Rias' dark energy, finally fueling his Sacred Gear, while James couldn't get a single shot on Blacklight Kiba, but did recieve a cut right across the young cowboys face, forcing him to bring a hand up and clutch the wound, allowing the Kiba copy to swing his Holy Devil Sword, slice James' gun in two, and kick him down to the ground. He then formed a second Holy Devil Sword in his free hand and start stabbing at the ground where James was supposed to be, but the young cowboy started scooting himself away just in time so the Kiba imposter only got the ground in front of him. As James continued to flee the Blacklight Knight, Llarya was still trying to eliminate the Asia imposter, but she kept healing up almost instantly with an evil smile on her face.
"As sweet as Adrian mentioned the real you, why won't the imposter you just fucking die?!" Llarya watched as Blacklight Asia simply chuckled, and strolled over to Jason and the black tar that was Blacklight Koneko, held up her hands, and with a green glow, the Blacklight Koneko started to regain her shape, casting an angry glare at the still kneeling Jason.
"Oh fuck me." The Koneko clone then charged for the Saint once again, making him back up from her quick attacks, while Llarya began to try attacking Blacklight Asia again, the dark elfs stamina beginning to waver. As this was happening, Pennie was still having a difficult time with the Gasper imposter, especially in his cloud of bats, and with her Plasma Repeater out of energy, she dropped her weapon as she continued to swing her energy sword, and due to the loss of blood she was starting to wobble on her feet. When she finally fell to the ground, still being drained, Thatan was on his hands and knees as well, about to recieve a killing blow from Imposter Xenovia, the evil twin holding both of her swords high ready to strike, until the larger Sangheili saw his Asari friend on the ground, bleeding and dying,
"Pennie...!" As Imposter Xenovia brought her swords down, Thatan whirled around and grabbed her wrists in his large grip, keeping her arms over her head and lifted her off the ground as he stood up with brute strength, and with that strength he crushed her wrists making her drop the swords, and the moment they stuck into the grass, Thatan released her, bringing his energy sword up in sync and slicing upwards. The Imposter Xenovia landed on her feet, and watched as most of her clothes fell to the ground, split in half right down the middle, causing her to look at Thatan with a raised eyenbrow. "Just give it a moment," said Thatan, and that's when she felt it; a pain between her legs, spreading up her body, right up the middle, and stopping at the top of her head, and one by one both halves of her body fell, turning into black tar. Thatan turned away and was about to run to Pennie, until he saw something odd; one of the Gasper Bats was hanging away from the rest, keeping an eye on the Asari, and out of pure instinct he reached for a Plasma Grenade, activated it, and tossed it to the odd bat out, hitting it perfectly. The bat fluttered as the superheated plasma burned it, and as it detonated, destroying the bat, all the other bats turned to black tar, finally freeing Pennie. The Sangheili dashed for the Asari, all while Damon kept his Red Queen and Green Knight blocking and parrying Imposter Isseis' attacks with his Ascalon.
"You know, to be honest, I don't remember our Issei being this strong or good of a fighter," commented Damon, realizing his stamina is depleting, and right when the evil copy tried to take an over head swipe, he spoke as Damon blocked his attack,
"That's because when Zeus made me, he altered me to have all eight pawn pieces of Lady Rias, and then some," he said with a chuckle. The Imposter Issei then lifted his Sacred Gear arm, and in a flash of flame, the evil Issei was encased in the same Scale Mail that the true Issei had when he fought Vali, only the green in the eye pieces were replaced with blood red. Damons' eyes widened,
"Holy shit!"
"Now do you see that this fight is hopeless?" Asked the Imposter Issei. Damon blinked, and refocused on his opponent,
"What? No, I just remembered something..." Damon then put away his swords and began digging through his coat, rummaging for an item that he can't seem to find, and drawing out random items and stacking them in the now confused Evil Isseis' arms as he progressed, "...my weed, no. My flask, no. Skin mag, no. Opium, no..."
"'Opium?'" Wondered the Imposter Issei to himself.
"Holding onto it for my drug guy," Damon quickly explained, "now where was I? Fruit snacks, no. The entire Devil May Cry series for PlayStation7, no. Scarecrow667s' sighed photo, no. Aha!" Damon began to draw out the handle of what looked like a baseball bat, but it was then followed by a giant pair of purple testicles, and finally a giant purple penis flopping in the air, "The Penetrator!" Damon turned to his invisible wall, "Oh c'mon, I can still be unpredictable and hilarious when I want to be," he added with a wink.
"Why do you even have that?"Asked the Imposter Issei, his tone of voice stating that he wasn't really interested in an answer. Damon gave the imposter a wry grin,
"For this!"
WHAP!
The evil Issei clone dropped all of Damons' items as the white haired devil smacked him full strength in the head with the phallus shapes weapon, and the evil clone landed on his back with a solid thud. As the evil clone rubbed his head, Damon tossed the penis shaped weapon over his shoulder,
"Now to get what I was really looking for." Damon reached into his coat, and withdrew a large teardrop shaped orb the size of a football, almost exactly like the hardened green devil blood, but this orb was glistening white, "Crystalized Devil Tears." He turned to the real Issei, who was still having trouble dodging Zeus' attacks as he now had several cuts on his body, and was barely breathing as he was running short on breath. As for Zeus, the worst wound he recieved from the Red Dragon Emperor was a cut on his cheek, which healed almost instantly.
"Nice try Hyuoduo," said Zeus, "but you'll need more than that to take on a god!" Both of them then heard a whistle, catching both of their attentions, and speeding like a bullet the white orb was slammed into Isseis' chest, and in a flash of flame, he too had his Scale Mail armor, green eyed helmet and all.
"Think that'll even the odds, motherfucker?!" Zeus shot a glare at Damon, the source of the jeer, but didn't have time to glare for long, as Issei then charged at him again, more ready to fight than before.
"Okay..." Zeus sighed angrily to himself, managing to dodge the rush attack from Issei, "...time to get serious." Blacklight tendrils then covered Zeus' entire form, and he formed a set of shell armor, similar to what Adrian used to use, and readied his Blacklight Blade and Shield, right as dark storm clouds formed overhead, bringing red and violet lightning down from up high, striking the ground in random areas as Zeus took up a fighting stance once again,
"Still feeling lucky, Harem King?" Issei let his Sacred Gear charge as he gave his answer,
"My friends were willing to fight from the getgo, so I am willing too!" Issei and Zeus then charged each other again, this time with Adrian sliding across the ground near them, wounded from recieving a full force dark energy blast from Evil Rias,
"And to think I fell in love with someone as pathetic as you!" She laughed. Adrian barely managed to stand himself up onto his feet, still not having enough energy built up in his Sacred Gear arm to do enough damage,
"You're not her, so don't try to pretend!" Before Adrian could say more, he was sent slamming across the ground as another body was slammed into him, and when he finally skidded to a halt, he saw that other body belonged to Katrina; smoking from being shocked, and left mostly nude from her assault at the hands of Imposter Akeno.
"Oh my. Another broken toy," taunted the evil clone, fluttering down next to evil Rias. Adrian gritted his teeth as he helped himself and Katrina to their feet, trying to figure out how to deal with both imposters on his own.
"Adrian..." The one eyed devil turned to his friend, and saw that she was focused on him as a tear dripped down her cheek and blood trickled out the side of her mouth, "...I will need Soul Reaver back..." Adrian nodded, releasing the sword from his Sacred Gear and giving it to his friend, "...thank you...now I need you to take what little strength I have left and use it in your Sacred Gear."
"What?!" Adrian gave his friend a look of shocked disbelief, "You nees what you have left!"
"Take it!" Ordered Katrina, right before giving him a reassuring smile, "I can handle this. I am the Goddess of War after all." Adrian sighed in exasperated defeat, and regretfully placed his Gear hand on her shoulder,
"DEVOUR!" Shouted Penglog, and Adrian absorbed what little strength Katrina had left, giving himself enough power to use his Balance Breaker. Adrian gave Imposter Rias a glare as his own Scale Mail came to life,
"You're going down bitch!" Consumed with rage, Adrian charged for her, the evil redhead soaring into the air with an evil laugh, all while Katrina was left to fight evil Akeno. The Goddess raised Soul Reaver into the air, pointing the tip to the sky as Akeno dashed towards her, hands ready with lightning as time slowed to a crawl for Katrina, and she spoke what she thought was her final words,
"Calvin, if you can hear me from wherever you are, I am sorry, and I hope you can forgive me for what I have done, but now I can use your help! Please...lend me your power!" Then, out of nowhere, lightning struck down and hit Soul Reaver, using it as a lightning rod and striking Katrina. Most everyone, notably Zeus, was watching, not because Katrina was being struck by lightning, since Zeus had already summoned a storm to rain down red and violet lightning indescriminately...
But it was because that lightning was blue, just like Calvins!
