The Final Chapter
Mars...several thousand years later...
On the surface of the red planet, a massive dust storm was blowing around an abandoned human colony base, all while two male figures in space suits trudged through the storm, making their way to one of the heavy steel doors leading to the maintinence shafts, and with a struggle from both men, they heaved the door open, scrambled inside, and let the door slam shut behind them, waiting momentarily for the airlock to be sealed before removing their helemts; the first one to remove his was a familiar madman with a mohawk, and he turned to his companion, and it was revealed to be a shorter man with a metal devil mask covering his face.
"So Salem," began to mohawked man, "are you sure this is the right time and place? I mean, Zeus could very well still be alive and-."
"Vaas!" Interrupted the masked man, "This is the only time and place. And since we are here, right when Zeus left with the God-Slayer, I would assume he would want us to go through with it. Besides, Richard is already here." They both removed their space suits, revealing their usual outfits, and Salem retrieved an airtight duffel bag from the back of his space suit, knowing what's inside will change the fate of everything forever.
The two villains then trekked through the abandoned base, and they soon came upon a large colosseum-like room, with many rows of seats lining a circlular arena, and dead center was a mass of red pulsating mush with a semi-clear yellow center full of fluid, the shape of a humanoid figure residing inside. In front of this mass was a large skinny cauldron, shaped more like a giant chalice or a metal martini glass, but either way one would describe it, it was far too large for anyone to simply carry, and in front of this was Richard, waiting for both Salem and Vaas.
"Did you boys bring the parts of the spell?" He asked them. Salem handed him the duffel bag, and with a quick unzipping and retrieving, Richard got everything he needed, and began to fill the giant chalice one by one, starting with a large plastic pack of blood, and Richard began to speak in a loose Latin dialect, "Blood of Fury..." he began, emptying Zeus' blood pack into the chalice, "Mouth of Strife..." Richard then dropped Damons' missing tooth into the blood, "Hand of War..." Richard dropped in Katrinas' severed ring finger, and he paused when he retrieved the final piece for the spell, "...and the Eye of Death..." he dropped the eye into the chalice of carnage, and the concoction began to boil and bubble, with Richard still speaking, "...with all the powers of the Horsemen present, please rise, Child of the Apocalypse!"
The contents of the chalice burst into flames, rose out of the metal like a gaint flaming serpent, and dove straight for the pulsating red mass before it, entering the yellow discolored fluid and entering the person inside, making them squirm, and as soon as it started, it stopped; the chalice was empty, and the red mass healed up, as if nothing even happened, leaving the three villains to look at each other skeptically, and even Salem shook his head,
"I fucking knew we needed more than just a finger and a tooth," he grumbled.
KOOSH!
Before anyone could say more, a hand burst from the yellow film, spilling fluid on the floor, but what shocked the three was that the hand wasn't a normal human hand.
It was glowing purple with red scales...a Devil Bringer arm!
The arm then sent a ghostly hand up to the top of the red mass, and with one tug it tore the mass to shreds, freeing the person inside; it was revealed to be a shapely naked girl, looking to be about nineteen in age, with ash gray skin, long white hair reaching down her back, past her rear and stopping somewhere in the middle of her calfs, and as she stood up she slowly opened her right eye, revealing it to be fierce green, just like Adrians, but as she opened her left, it was blood red, just like Zeus. Vaas and Salem could only stare, while Richard began to laugh wickedly,
"Yes...yes! Now we have our weapon to destroy those devils!" He cackled. He then turned his attention to the girl, "Now, child...follow me. We are going to take over this entire dimension, just like Zeus planned." The girl turned to Richard, glaring at him,
"I...am not your weapon..." she muttered. Vaas and Salem took a couple of cautionary steps back as Richards smile fell, quickly replaced with a scowl,
"What did you say to me girl?"
"I said...I am not your weapon...and taking over the dimension was never Zeus' plan...I was...and you served your purpose...Richard Michaels." Richards' eyes widened behind his glasses,
"How did you know my...?" He shook his head, and sent several Blacklight tendrils towards the girl, wrapping them around her neck and seemingly cutting off her oxygen, "I am in charge here! I practically made the Blacklight! So technichally, I created Zeus, Adrian, Heller, Mercer, all of them! Zeus merely opened my eyes and showed me what being a god truly is! And I have to power to do just that! You are nothing more than a meat puppet! Created by Zeus, created by me, to do my bidding!" The girl turned to Richard, and spoke with a tone that showed she wasn't even straining against the tendrils wrapped around her neck,
"If that is true, then why are you trembling so?" Richard didn't answer, for he was shaking uncontrolably, not out of anger, but out of fear. The girl raised her Devil Bringer arm, held it up next to her head, and made one more statement to Richard, "Just so you know, I am the daughter of Zeus, and my name is Athena."
Snap!
BOOSH!
With one snap of her fingers, Richard was reduced to a pool of blood on the floor, making Vaas emit a shrill scream. Athena turned to the two villains, and began to approach them, purposely treading through the pool of blood, and causing Blacklight tendrils to wrap up her legs and around her body, creating a thin, almost microspcophic singlet, going up between her legs, splitting right below her naval, going up, barely covering her nipples, over her shoulders, down her back and rejoining together right above her butt. This was soon followed by Blacklight tendrils forming jagged bone spikes from both of her shoulders and knees, forming into shoulder and knee pads, and finally, she had two horns sprout from her head, forming a crown and giving her the true appearance of a devil. She turned to Salem first, "You."
"Yes?"
"Search the dimensions for the best blacksmith in exsistance, now." Salem nodded, and quickly ran off, leading Athena to turn to Vaas, "And you, I want you to find the strongest metal possible." Vaas nodded, and was about to run off, but stopped and turned back to her,
"Uh, why are we doing this?"
"Because..." began Athena, "...Father Zeus was already the strongest of my Four Horsemen parents, maybe even the entire universe, and he was easily dispatched by my other three parents, Father Damon, Father Adrian, and Mother Katrina. So now I realize that while I may be just as strong as Zeus right now, I need to be even stronger. So right now, I need you and Salem to gather parts, so I can forge a sword...and Infinity Plus One Sword. Now go before you need me to explain myself again." Vaas nodded, and dashed off, right as Athena exhaled, turning to Damons' invisible wall,
"If Father Zeus couldn't be the New God, then I suppose me and my friends shall have to be...The New Devils!"
Disclaimer: I don't own DxD, or any of the video games mentioned or referred in the story, only the OCs, and the To Kill A God arc.
A/N: So that was New Devils, and I know that there are errors in this story, especially towards the beginning, but it has been so long that I touched those chapters thst I can't even go back and edit them now. Anyway, I think for now I'm going to take a break for a few weeks before I start on the sequal, that way more readers can read the story and give heartfelt reviews, good or bad.
Thank you Amvmaster and dmandog056, as well as my proofreader/love of my life, for sticking around all the way to the end. Thank you. Until next time!
