High School DxD: The Son of Sparda
Chapter 3: Hellfire's Second Coming
(Ryu's House)
Kitsune was healing Kurome wounds with magic, in her room sitting on her futon.
"There that should do it." Kitsune said as she stops.
"Thanks Kitsune." Kurome said.
"Don't worry about it Kurome." Kitsune told her before getting up on her feet, and then leaves the room, with Ryu and the others outside.
"How Kurome, doing?" Akame asked still a little worried.
"She's fine, all she needs is some rest, and she'll be good as new in no time." Kitsune told her.
"That's a relief." Akame sighed in relief.
"So boss what are we going to do about that disgraced exorcist?" Momoyo asked.
Ryu only closed his eyes, and crossed his arms.
(Meanwhile, with Kurome)
Kurome was lying sideways on her bed, still thinking and still feel worried about Terra, after what happen. Even though she found out about Kurome being a devil, she still defended her.
"Terra…" Kurome mutters before hearing shouting outside.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE'RE DOING NOTHING?!" Momoyo exclaimed.
Kurome blinked her eyes, and turns to the door, looking at the slightly open creak on the door.
"Momoyo be quiet! Don't forget that Kurome needs to rest." Miyuki told her.
"Sorry. But still that bastard needs to be pounded for hurting her like that!" Momoyo said before raising her fist.
"Momoyo that's enough!" Ryu ordered.
"Why are you being like this, boss?!" Momoyo asked. "Aren't you pissed off by this?!"
"Don't you think Ryu doesn't feel the same as you do?" Miyuki asked.
"Huh?" Momoyo let out.
"I do feel the same as you do. But right now we can't do anything if fallen angels are involved. If we retaliate in any way we might cause an uproar." Ryu stated. Momoyo lowered her head.
"Sorry…I didn't mean to be upset." Momoyo mutters.
"It's alright, like I said I know how you feel." Ryu grab her shoulder.
"But Ryu what about that Terra girl?" Akame asked.
"Nothing we can do. Disgraced or not, she's still with the church, all we can do now is forget about her." Ryu said. This made Kurome slightly widen her eyes.
"I…understand." Akame nodded.
"Alright, now everyone get to bed." Ryu requested. Then everyone leaves.
Kurome then pulled her blanket over her head.
(Next day)
Wanted to get out of the house, Kurome decided on walking around town for a while. She still can't help but worry about Terra.
"Terra I hope you're okay…" Kurome mutters before hearing a bam.
She looks and saw near some monkey bars Issei mending his shoulder lying on the ground.
"Damn it…" Issei mutters, before seeing Kurome on top of him looking at his face. "Kurome-chan?"
"What are you doing?" Kurome asked.
"I was trying to make myself stronger…" Issei said before sitting up. "But no luck, I'm just sissy boy."
"Did something happen?" Kurome asked.
"Well you see-." Issei started.
"Issei-san?!" They looked to see a blond girl whose looks like to be Issei's age, wearing a church uniform.
"Asia?!" Issei gasped. Kurome just blinked.
"Do you two know each other?" Kurome asked.
Asia was looking at her burger meal curiously; the three of them were in a fast food place having some lunch.
"Trust me there's no other way." Issei told her.
"There isn't it?" Asia said.
"This is how you're supposed to eat a hamburger." Issei said before biting on his burger
"Well if you say so. Here go's." Asia said before picking up her burger, and took a small bite on it. "Oh my, it's so yummy."
"You can say that again." They look and saw Kurome gulping down her burger and doing the same with another one, eating from a big pile of at least 20 hamburgers, with 5 large fries with 4 large sodas.
Issei and Asia sweet drop on how she eat so much food without getting sick.
"S-So Asia what made you decided on going to the park?" Issei asked. Asia a somewhat sad look on her face before smiling.
"Well the weather was really pleasant today, so I decided on going out to enjoy the day." Asia answered, Issei blinked. Kurome was looking at Asia while drinking her soda, and she feels like she's hiding something.
"But then I saw you at the park, my fan day got even better, so I…" Asia started.
"You know what!" Issei got her attention, as Kurome had finished her food. "Since you're free how about the three of us, hang out together."
"Okay, I don't have anything better to do anyway." Kurome said.
Asia cheeks turned red.
"Yeah sure."
The trio was at the arcade playing some games, and Issei won Asia a stuff animal in a claw machine.
Now the three of them were now at the park after Asia saw that Issei was a little hurt on his shoulder.
Asia was using two rings on her hands, with made a green light.
"Dose your leg hurt too?" Asia asked.
"Uh, yeah." Issei said. Asia then begins to heal Issei's leg.
"How's that?" Asia asked.
"Yeah," Issei then begins to move around his arm and legs really well. "I feel brand new! It's almost like it never happened! Awesome thanks so much Asia."
Asia then begins to tell Issei, and Kurome about her past. About her being abandon by her parents when she was a baby, on how she was taken in and raised by the church, and on one day when her Sacred Gear was activated on a day she found a wounded poppy and healed, and was soon moved to a bigger church and healed people who visit to heal her injuries, but soon found a wounded Devil and being the kind girl she is, she healed the Devil, but when the church found out about it, they called her a witch and a heretic, and soon ran away from the church.
"Man that sounds harsh." Issei said in pity feeling sorry for Asia.
"Yeah you can say that again." Kurome agreed, and wonders if Terra was the same.
"So after that is that what made you decided on joining the Fallen Angels?" Issei asked.
"Yes, I'll never forget who I am. I say my prays, and try my best to live a good life." Asia told them. "They're awful; they do all honorable and evil things, all in the name of god. This suffering has to be a test for my faith. But if I overcome this trail, I know that someday my hopes and dreams can come true. That is what I believe in anyway."
"What are your dreams?" Issei asked.
"Is to make a lot of lifelong friends, to get to know them and do cool things. To be able to have fun together, and care for each other." Asia told them. "I know it's kind of silly. Honestly I'll be happy to have any friends."
Issei soon stands up.
"Issei is there something wrong?" Asia asked.
"I don't care what other people say. I'm your friend." Issei told her, making Asia surprised.
"Yeah, some with me too." Kurome told her.
"I mean after all we've been through, how can we not be." Issei stated before looking back to Asia. "It's true I say we've gotten to know each other very well, don't you think so?" Issei's cheeks blushed and scratched his check with his finger. "And I won you that stuff animal so that happen, hehehe."
Issei then saw Kurome giving him a suspicious glare, knowing fully well the kind of boy he is.
Issei cough a little, before rubbing the back of his head.
"And I defiantly care about you." Issei said.
"Same with me too." Kurome told her, she may only met Asia but she knows fully well that she's a really kind person, and wants to be her friend.
Asia had a happy smile on her face, before closing her eyes.
"We can't…" Asia shook her head. "I care about the both of you two too. But we can't, Issei, Kurome, it's forbidden and I don't want to case you any trouble."
"I'm sick and tried on people telling me what I can't do." Issei told her. "We're friends all of three of us that's the way it is."
"Thank you." Asia said.
"Well isn't this sweet." They look and saw a Fallen Angel behind; she has a revealing outfit, with long black hair and has violet eyes.
"Damn it's Yuuma!" Issei said.
"Lady Raynare?!" Asia gasped.
"That's right, she's a Fallen Angel." Issei said.
"What are you doing?!" Kurome said before pulling out two kunai's getting ready for a fight.
"I'm only here for little Asia, I heard the rumors about her being drawn to Devils, but to think it was true." Raynare explained. "Don't you even think to run Asia!"
"Be gone! I don't want any more part of the evil you and the other Fallen Angles are up to!" Asia demanded. "I ran away. I'm sorry but I couldn't stand to be around them anymore."
"Don't apologize, in fact I'm glad." Issei stated, making Asia and Kurome a little confused. "You're too good for them. You don't belong to be with those crazies anyway."
"Yeah I agree, you're too kind and gentle to be with them, same with someone else I know." Kurome said.
"What do you want Yuuma?!" Issei demanded. This made Kurome thinks that he and Raynare have a bit of history together.
"Oh don't worry my business, isn't with you little boy, or to the little girl Devil. But I guess we could finish what we started." Raynare stated. Making Issei a little jumpy, this proves that Kurome was right about them.
"Let's have some fan." Raynare said as she was summoning a spear of light.
"Scared Gear!" Issei then summons a red gauntlet with a green jewel.
Raynare was a little surprised before laughing.
"Is that really all you got?" Raynare asked. "It's nothing but a Twice Critical, coming up short as usually."
"It's a what?" Issei asked.
"It's also called a Dragon's Hand. It only doubles your power temporarily." Raynare explained.
"Ah man that's all it does?" Issei mutters. "Oh well doesn't matter, if I can't protect my friends then what good am I?! Double my power! Show me what you're made of Gear!"
"BOOST!" The Gear shouted as it started glowing.
"It's working I feel the power!" Issei stated, before Raynare throws her spear through Issei's gut, making him fall to his knees.
"Hyoudou!" Kurome let out.
Asia screams.
"Issei no!" Asia checks on Issei when the spear disappeared.
"Nice catch." Raynare praised sarcastically. "Looks like your toy couldn't do much. If I was you I get used to that."
"Damn it…!" Issei growled before notice Asia was healing his wound. "What are you doing?"
Raynare scowl at that.
"I'm healing you silly." Asia said.
"Wow, that's sure is handy." Issei said before standing back up. They soon heard Raynare laugh.
"Now Asia be a good little girl and come with me!" Raynare demanded. "Your power is far more valuable for our kind then his Scared Gear could ever be."
"I know you were only after my power this whole time." Asia said.
"If that's so then you can forget it! She's not going anywhere with you!" Kurome stated before throwing her kunai's at the Fallen Angel, Raynare simply dodges them, not seeing a chain in Kurome's hands, and coming around her and tied her all over her body.
"Clever, you used those knifes as a distraction for you to used that chain to trap me." Raynare said.
"I'm sort full with surprises." Kurome told her. Raynare squinted; her eyes at Kurome.
"Black hair, and black eyes…Wait a moment you won't happen to know someone name Terra do you?" Raynare asked.
Kurome blinked.
"Oh wait so you're her Devil friend! What a surprised to see you here!" Raynare said.
"Shut up!" Kurome tighten the chains, but Raynare didn't flinched. "Where is Terra, what did you do to her?!"
"Nothing much, don't worry, we're taking extra care for her." Raynare told her, making Kurome grit her teeth not buying it. "She did want to give you a message. I think it was 'Tell Kurome that I'm sorry, but I won't be able to see her again.'"
This made Kurome shocked to hear that. Raynare soon took this to her advantage and brook the chains, and Raynare summons another spear before flying above them, and throws it at them.
Issei pushed Kurome and Asia away and jumps the fountain.
"Issei! Kurome!" Asia shouted seeing Issei trying to get up, and Kurome also doing the same.
Raynare soon landed near Asia.
"I spared their lives on purpose." Raynare told her. "If I wanted to I would have aimed at vital blows. Your friends would have shattered into a million pieces."
Asia closed her eyes.
"I'll go with. Just don't hurt them anymore." Asia said.
Kurome and Issei only looked as Raynare warped herself with Asia with her wings.
"Good girl, there's no need to worry after the ritual tonight, all your worries and trouble will be gone forever." Raynare soon looks at Issei. "I'll see you soon Issei~!"
"Asia…" Kurome mutters as she tried to reach out.
"No stop! Asia!" Issei shouted before standing back up and was about to ran to Asia.
"Goodbye my friends. I'll miss you." Asia said with tears on her eyes before she and Raynare teleported away.
Issei soon fallen on his knees in despair, same with Kurome as she had tears on her eyes.
(Later, at the Occult Research club)
Rias had contacted Ryu about what happened to Kurome and Issei, and he with Miyuki, Akame, and Momoyo hurriedly head to the Occult Research club.
They fast walking to the door, and Ryu slams it open, just as he did, they saw Rias slaps Issei.
"Oh hello Ryu, your just in time." Rias said.
'Guess Rias isn't happy about what happened. While it could be the same with me.' Ryu thought before looking at Kurome who was sitting on the couch.
"Ryu…I-" Kurome said.
"Save it!" Ryu shouted at her, making her flinched. "Honestly Kurome words can't described how angry I am, about this."
"Hey, Sparda leave her alone! I was the one who-." Issei started before Rias slaps him again.
"This isn't your concern Issei. She's a member of Ryu's Peerage let him take care of it." Rias ordered him, making Issei click is tongue.
"First it was making friends with that Terra, and now with this Asia." Ryu said. "You need to forget about those two, like didn't even meet them before."
"I can't do that…" Kurome mutters.
"Say that again?" Ryu asked. Kurome soon stands up and face him, before slapping Ryu, making some of the others flinched.
"There's no way I can do that!" Kurome shouted at Ryu. "I refuse to just abandon with like that! I just can't do that!"
"Same with me too!" Issei said.
"You're still going on about that?" Rias said. "You need to forget about Asia too. You're a member of the Gremory family now."
"Fine…then maybe it's time for you to release me from your household. Because I refuse to just let her go." Issei told her.
"I'm sorry, I can't do that." Rias stated.
"Of course I'm your precious Pawn. Can't do without your most important piece can't you?" Issei asked.
'Wait he doesn't know? Guess Rias hadn't explain to him yet.' Ryu thought.
"That's enough Issei." Rias told him, making Issei blinked.
"Pawns are important. They're not the weakest piece in the game by any means." Rias explained.
"She's right," Issei looks at Ryu. "She did explain how Evil Pieces have the some attributes as their characters?"
"Yeah she did but what would a stupid pawn do?" Issei asked.
"Quite a lot, Ryu if you would." Rias said.
"Sure thing, let's say this." Ryu pointed to Kurome. "Kurome is also a pawn, let's say either she or you advance to the enemy's territory, they can promote to any other piece, besides the king, like Rias and me."
Akeno come behind Miyuki and whispered to her ear.
"Wait does that mean I can have the same abilities like the others?" Issei asked.
"Yes, but only if the master declares the area enemy territory." Rias said. "Let's say for example the Fallen ones church."
"Sort of like this, I can say this 'The enemy base is the church, or the area around me' something like that." Ryu explained.
"Wow…" Issei looks at his hands thinking on what he is capable of.
"Now then let's talk about your Sacred Gear. Any Sacred Gear works in direct correlation in the current feelings of its owner. Anyway the stronger those feelings are the more powerful your Gear can be." Rias explained.
'Wait a minute she is planning on something…Oh wait I see now, hmm sometimes I forget how much of gambler she can be.' Ryu thought, after all he did grow up with her, so she knows her well.
"Wow, that's sounds cool." Issei said.
Akeno walks behind Rias and whispered something in her ear, and Miyuki did the same with Ryu.
"Something has come up." Rias and Akeno walk towards the door. "Akeno and I have to step out for a moment."
"Same with Miyuki and me." Ryu and Miyuki followed. "Akame, Momoyo stay here and keep an eye on Kurome, okay." Ryu told the two.
"Understood." Akame nodded.
"You got it boss." Momoyo said.
"Remember, even if your promoted no matter the rank a single devil can't stand up to a fallen one." Rias said.
A magic circle appeared beneath the four of them, and soon teleported them away.
"I guess we'll see about that." Issei said before heading to the door.
"You're going?" Kiba asked.
"Yep. And there's no point on trying to stop me." Issei told them.
"You're going to get killed." Kiba told him.
"Well you deal with that, just as long as I can get her out of there." Issei said.
"Count me in too." Kurome said. Akame grabbed her shoulder.
"I can't let you do that Kurome." Akame told her.
"Onee-chan I know I'll get in trouble with Ryu for this, and I don't want that. But I can't stand by and let my friends be hurt." Kurome said to her sister.
"You two are very brave. Yet very stupid too, it will be suicide." Kiba stated.
Issei faced Kiba.
"Look it's none of your business!" Issei exclaimed before having a surprised face seeing Kiba with his sword.
"I'm coming with you." Kiba told him.
"Wait what?" Issei asked.
"Weren't you listening the president basically said you get in that church and you're promoted." Kiba told him.
"Really?" Issei asked.
"And Ryu did say the same thing to you." Akame told Kurome.
"Wait he did…?" Kurome blinked before remember that he said if Kurome gets to that church she can promote as well.
"And it's something you two can't do alone so." Akame soon brought out her sword as well. "I'll be joining you as well. Besides I owe Terra for saving you, its the least I can do for her."
"Onee-chan...thank you." Kurome said.
"That's right she did say that you won't be able to do this on your own. So we're going to back you up, and there's no way in hell you won't be able to do this without us so you might as well save your breath." Kiba told Issei.
"Koneko, and Momoyo too?" Issei asked.
"There's nothing else going." Koneko said.
"I don't anything else to do either, so I might as well." Momoyo said as she popped her neck. "Besides this sounds really exciting."
(Outside of the church)
Three Fallen Angles were guarding in the forest around the church.
"I wonder how long the ritual will take."
"It doesn't matter; we were order by Lady Raynare to guard this area, until she's finished, no matter how long it takes."
"I know you don't have to be bossy."
They soon see a magic circle appeared nearby, and soon see Ryu armed with black pistol, and with Miyuki.
"Devils here?!" They soon got ready to battle. "How did you find this place?!"
"It was really simple, we sort have figured you Fallen Angels were up to something in secret and this church happens to be abandon some time ago. So it was easy to connect everything together." Ryu said before pointing his gun at them. "And we have some of the others are already on their way to the church."
"Well even so they won't be able to stop the ritual." They soon armed themselves with spears of light. "Once we're done with you two, we go after them too."
"Oh don't worry their take care of themselves. But in the meantime…" Ryu said before a red aura appeared around him which sort of looks like red flames. "How about we get this over with."
The three Fallen Angels were looking a little nervous seeing his aura, but the leader soon snapped them out of it.
"Don't be afraid theirs only two of them! Attack!" They soon charged Ryu and Miyuki.
Soon gun fired was heard beneath the sky.
(Meanwhile at the church)
The other Devils, Kurome, Issei and their friends were hiding behind the trees near the church, and were looking at the door.
"Man can you guys feel that?" Issei asked.
"Yep, there's must be a ton of priests inside." Kiba said.
"Whatever they're doing, it must be happening fast." Akame stated.
"I think I'm glad you guys come with me." Issei told them.
"Well hey; you and I are buddies, right?" Kiba said before his eyes turned serious. "Besides Fallen Angels aren't exactly my favorite things in the world, the true is I hate them."
"Really?" Issei said thinking that Kiba have some personally history with the Fallen Angels like him.
Koneko soon walks the door.
"Hold on. Don't just walk in." Issei told her.
"There's no need to be sneaky they know we're here." Koneko stated.
"Yeah, she's right." Momoyo said before walking out of their hiding spot, the others also followed. "You can come out now! No use hiding!"
"Well, well, and I thought I hide my presence well." A familiar voice said, before coming of his hiding spot was Alexander.
"Alexander!" Kurome growled at him.
"Well it's nice to see you again she devil." Alexander said.
"What have you done with Terra?!" Kurome demanded.
"Oh don't worry about little Terra, all I did was made sure she receive proper punishment." He said with an evil grin.
"You…!" Kurome growled before bringing out her short sword.
"Kurome you need to come down." Akame told her. "He's only trying to provoke you."
"Onee-chan…" Kurome mutters before nodding. "Alright, I'm sorry."
"There's no need to apologize." Akame said before looking at Issei. "Hyoudou, you and the others go in and rescue Asia, we take it from here."
"Are you sure?" Issei asked.
"Yeah, don't worry about man we got this." Momoyo told him.
"Alright, be careful." Issei said before heading to the door with Kiba and Koneko.
"Well three on one, that's an unfair advantage." Alexander said. "How about we change that." He snapped his fingers and soon two figures jump out, and landed next to Alexander.
One of them was young nun with a crazed grinned and with a katana sword.
The other was a young man with twin gunblades in hand, wearing round glasses.
"So glad you can join me my children, Coco and Nil." Alexander said. "Wait where is, Axel?"
"I'm here." A big tall man hearing metal gloves comes out, with chains in his hands. "Sorry I took so long, she just can't stop resisting. Come here!" He pulled the chains, pulling someone wrapped around them, which made Kurome surprised that it was a wounded Terra.
"Terra?!" Kurome shouted.
"Kurome…?" Terra said very weakly.
"You what did you do to her?!" Kurome shouted.
"Oh nothing much, all I did was administer the right kind of punishment, for disobedient children like her should get for they defiance!" Alexander soon kicks Terra hard and stomps on her.
"You!" Kurome glared at the disgraced priest. "Promotion to Knight!"
Kurome soon runs in the speed of a knight to Alexander.
"Kurome wait!" Akame followed her sister, before seeing the nun Coco coming towards drawing out her Katana, Akame blocks her before pulling her sword.
"I don't think so your fight is with me!" She said before pushing Akame back, and was about to slash but Akame blocks and soon locked swords.
"Don't get in my way." Akame and her soon got into a sword fight.
"Akame!" Momoyo was about to join in but the tall man Axel jumps and lands in front of her. "So I guess you're my opponent?"
"You guess right!" He said before aiming a punch at her, but Momoyo blocks with just one hand. "W-Wait?!"
"Was that really your best?" Momoyo sighed. "I thought you'll be tough because your big, but I guess it's just for show you're about as weak as a kitten." Momoyo and flicks her finger on his forehead sending him flying to some nearby trees. "Couldn't even call that a warm up."
"Well I how about I take you on."
Momoyo seen heard a gunshot and saw a bullet flying towards her face, and when it hit Momoyo bend her back a little but was still standing, she straighten her back with the bullet in teeth before spitting it out.
She then see's the priest Nil with the gunblades, was going to slash her, but she caught with one bare hand.
"Well you have some interesting weapons. Hope you make this more entertaining unlike your other friend." Momoyo said before throwing with in the air, but Nil lands on his feet.
Nil soon charges at Momoyo before firing two shots, Momoyo blocks them with her forearms, and it didn't made dent, Nil was about to double slash her, but Momoyo stops it by grabbing the blades, and kicks him in the gut pushing him back a little.
"Alright, looks like you can make this interesting after all." Momoyo stated before she and Nil engage in combat again.
Kurome soon charges at Alexander, and jumps at him going for a stab with her sword.
"Get your foot off of her now!" Kurome demanded, Alexander dodges her attack and kicks her away. Kurome lands on her feet, and then pulls out shuriken and throws them at him, Alexander pulls out his sword and deflects the shuriken, Kurome appeared behind him, and was about to attack him, but Alexander pulls out another sword from his other hand and blocks that before pushing her back.
As they were engaging in combat they soon heard…
"ASIA!" Issei shouted in despair.
"What the…" Akame said wondering what happened.
"Don't tell that something happen to Asia…?" Kurome mutters in worried before now seeing Alexander slashing her on her shoulder.
Kurome shouted in pain before falling to the ground mending her shoulder.
"Kurome!" Akame and Momoyo said in union before blocking an attack from their opponents.
"You shouldn't allow yourself to lower your guard." Alexander told Kurome.
"Kurome…" Terra mutters.
"Now then how about we finished this." Alexander stated as he was about to stab Kurome…Making Akame and Momoyo only looked until…
Bang!
A bullet soon disarmed him; Alexander dodged a few more moving him away from Kurome.
"I don't think so. No one hurts my family and gets away with it." Coming out was none other than Ryu and Miyuki.
"Ryu!" Akame said.
"Boss!" Momoyo said.
"Sorry we took a while." Ryu said before looking at Kurome as Miyuki helped her help. "You okay Kurome?"
"Ryu why…?" Kurome mutters.
"What you really think I just leave this to you, or abandon Terra?" Ryu smirked.
"Ryu…I…" Kurome started before Ryu pats her on the head.
"Don't say anything else. I got this from here." Ryu said before walking forward. "Now I advise you all surrender."
"And why would we do that?" Alexander asked.
"Because of this." Ryu said before bringing something out of his and let's go of it revealing to be the feathers of Fallen Angel's wings. Which made the priests and the nun surprised.
"Your Fallen Angels allies are gone now. And your leader well…"
"EXPLOSION!"
"You can't I have the supreme power!"
"This one is for Asia!"
They soon see Raynare smash through a window and fallen to the ground.
"Lady Raynare?!"
"This can't be?!" Alexander stated.
"Looks like your leader as fallen. So what's your move now?" Ryu asked.
Alexander gritted his teeth before chuckling.
"I guess there's no need to be here anymore, but…" Alexander eyed at Kurome. "I'm at least finish her!"
Alexander shiftily and quickly pulled a sword of light, and throws it passed Ryu and to Kurome. Everyone else looks, Miyuki was about to make shield of ice but couldn't make it time until…
Terra got in its way stabbing her in the heart, which made Ryu and his Peerage surprised.
"Terra!" Kurome runs as Terra was about to fall and catches her in her arms.
"Kurome…" Terra mutters.
"Don't try to speak you need to save your strength." Kurome told her before Terra placed her hand on her cheek.
"I'm…g-glad…I got to meet you…" Terra said, Kurome grabs her hand. "D-don't worry I was happy that I protect you, my fri…end."
Terra closed her eyes as her hand fallen with Kurome still holding.
"No T-Terra…" Kurome soon cried in despair for her friend.
The Sparda Peerage was saddened to see this, as for Ryu…
"Damn that girl…" Alexander growled. "If she had obeyed my, this wouldn't have happened. No matter no, Nil, Coco we're retreating."
"Yes sir!" They soon jumped and landed near Alexander, Nil pointed his gunblades at them.
"Don't think for minute this is over, because I'm sure we'll-." Alexander started.
Ryu fires his gun and Nil, he was frozen for second until…he was set ablaze with red flames.
"Ah! IT BURNS! IT BURNS!" Nil shouted in pained as he rolled on the ground trying to put it out but no success.
"Coco holy water!" Alexander ordered.
"R-right!" Coco pulled out a bottle of holy water and poured it at Nils, but the water evaporated. "Impossible it didn't work!?"
"J-Just what are those flames?!" Alexander said before looking at Ryu and seeing his eyes glowing red as a red fire flames begin to appear around him.
(Meanwhile in the church)
After Issei having Asia die in his arms and defeated Raynare, he soon discovered that his Sacred Gear was known as Boosted Gear of the 13 Gears of Longinus, one of the only 13 that can surprise God and the Devil King.
Raynare tried to plead for her life, by transforming into Yuuma, begging Issei to save him. Issei only turned his back on her, and asking Rias to finished it not having the heart to do it. Rias did what he asked and killed Raynare.
Issei placed Asia stolen Sacred Gear back to her hands, and was still crying for her on how he failed to save.
Rias told him he had no reason to cry, because she's going to be bring her back as her Bishop.
After saying the chant for the Devil Reincarnation spell, Asia was soon brought back to life. Asia was a little confused.
"Ah, Issei am I really here?" Asia asked before Issei hugged with tears of joy.
"Yes your back and I'm happy, let's go home." Issei said.
Issei helped Asia up…Out of nowhere the windows just shattered.
"What the hell?!" Issei let out. "What's going on, and why is it hot in here?"
"Rias you don't think that it's?" Akeno asked.
"Yes, it can only be Ryu." Rias said.
(Back outside)
The occult research club was now at where Ryu and his Peerage were, and some of them were a little surprised to see Ryu with flames around him.
"W-What's up with Sparda?" Issei asked feeling a little scared.
Ryu put away his gun, and soon a small magic circle appeared near him, Ryu puts his arm in it, and soon pulled out a long sword with a red metal guard, and a black handle.
Ryu soon walks slowly at Alexander and Coco, burning the ground beneath his feet. Coco gritted her teeth before charging at him.
"Coco stop!" Alexander told her.
"How dare you do that to Nil!" Coco shouted as was about to use a quick drew slash at Ryu, when it was about to land on him…it just melted in two, making her surprised, as Ryu slashed her through her shoulder to her chest, setting her ablaze as well, yelling in pain.
"W-What the hell…" Issei mutters.
"The Flames of Hellfire." Akeno said.
"The what now?" Issei asked.
"The Flames of Hellfire, said to be an eternal demonic fire that set everything it touches into ablaze." Akeno explained. "Flames that is so powerful that not even sand, nor holy water can put it out."
"And the only one in existence that was able to wield and control those demonic flames was the legendary Hellfire Knigh Sparda." Rias explained. "And now those flames were passed down to father and son. Those flames are the proof that Sparda's blood ran through his veins, that is the very reason that Ryu earned the title of the Hellfire knight's seconded coming."
Axel soon got back up and saw what was happening, Axel in rage attacks Ryu, but Ryu slashes him setting him on fire as well.
Alexander only watches as his allies were burned to life that even ashes weren't left of them, and soon see Ryu walking towards.
"Coco, Axel, Nil…I swore your deaths will be avenged." Alexander soon pulled out handheld ball casket, and throws in the ground creating a bright light, forcing the Devils to shield their eyes.
When the light died down Alexander was now gone.
After it was now over, Issei looked at Ryu in awed.
"Man and I thought Rias is a badass, he's on an entirely different level." Issei said he was about to walk. "Hey Sparda that was kind of awesome-."
"Issei." Rias stopped him. "Don't get close just yet."
"What do you mean?" Issei asked.
"Just look." Rias said. Issei looked and saw Ryu Hellfire still surround him, and was breathing in and out.
After Ryu did one final breath, his Flames soon died down and puts away his sword.
"Sparda…" Issei said. Ryu looks at them.
"Hey there, guess everything is done on your end." Ryu said back to his normal personality. "Also sorry you had to see that, I didn't mean to scare you."
"What the…" Issei blinked. Ryu looks at Kurome who was still crying for Terra, and walks to her. "What happened one minute he was a total badass, and now's his to his usually self."
"Well Issei," Rias got his attention. "It's not just Ryu's will that bring out the Hellfire but also his emotions. If Ryu's emotions such as angry overtakes him, he'll lose control of them, so Ryu trained himself very diligently to control his emotions to make sure to not lose control of them."
"Okay, mental note, don't piss him off, gotcha." Issei said.
Ryu soon sits on one knee.
"I'm sorry Ryu, even when you let me promote I still couldn't save her." Kurome said.
"Kurome please don't be sad." Ryu told her.
"Thanks Ryu, I know you're trying to cheer me up but-ite!" Kurome flinched when Ryu flicks her on the forehead really hard.
"I said don't be sad, besides what reason should you be sad?" Ryu asked before bringing out a Bishop piece. "Did you forget I have this?"
"That's the Bishop…?" Kurome realized what he was going to do. "What are you going to?"
"Yep I saw her healing abilities are very powerful, so what the hell, our friend Terra is going to be reborn into our family." Ryu said.
After setting Terra's body, a magic circle appeared beneath her, as Ryu was saying the chant for the Devil Reincarnation spell with the Bishop piece on her chest.
"In the name of Ryu Sparda, I call to Terra Branford hear my command. Return thy soul from the shadows of death to the human realm; rise once more as my demon servant rejoice as you are given new life." As Ryu was casting the spell the Bishop piece begin to absorb into her. "Wake as my Bishop."
As the spell was done, Terra opened her eyes and sits up.
"Terra!" Kurome hugged her. "I'm so happy your back!"
"Kurome? What happened?" Terra asked. Ryu then held her shoulder. "Ryu?"
"Don't worry about it, right now you're here with us." Ryu then held out his hand. "Come on you have new home now, with us."
Terra blinked at that before slowly taking his hand.
(Next day, at the Sparda household)
"I'm really sorry Ryu!" Kurome bowed her head.
"Kurome what are you doing?" Ryu asked.
"I'm really sorry for slapping you yesterday. I shouldn't have done that." Kurome told him before raising her head.
"Don't worry about it," Ryu patted her head. "It was also my fault for upsetting you like that, and for those saying things." Ryu soon stops. "So don't worry I'm not mad."
"Really?" Kurome asked.
"Yes, yes of course." Ryu nodded. Kurome then have an idea.
"Then prove it to me." Kurome said.
"Prove it how?" Ryu asked.
"Kiss me." Kurome told him. Making Ryu blinked.
"Excuse me?" Ryu asked.
Kurome then closed her eyes waiting for it. Ryu thought about for a while and sighed.
Ryu held her shoulders, and was moving closer to closer and was about to touch her lips, but just then moved to her forehead. Kurome opened her eyes feeling that.
"What you said to kiss you, you didn't say where." Ryu said. Kurome pouted in disappointment before sighing.
"Alright I guess that's sort of good." Kurome said.
"Excuse me, what's going on?" They look to see Terra nearby, wearing a Kouh academy uniform in Kurome design.
"Terra?" Kurome let out.
"Oh sorry you have to see that." Ryu slightly blushed.
"Oh don't worry about, I shouldn't have spy at you like that." Terra waved her hands.
"Oh by the way Terra your uniform?" Kurome said.
"Oh do you like it, I just receive it a while ago." Terra told her.
"I requested Rias's father, to have her go to Kouh, in your class." Ryu said.
"You really did that Ryu?" Kurome asked. Ryu nodded, Kurome hugged him. "Thank you so much Ryu!"
Ryu chuckled.
"Ryu, Kurome, Terra! Oh there you." Akame come by. "I was looking for you we have the party set up."
"Okay, good to know." Ryu said.
"What party?" Terra asked.
"What do you think, it's for you." Ryu told her.
"Eh?" Terra said.
Everyone was soon in the dinner room, on the table was lots of food, and on the center is a cake.
This was party to welcome Terra into the Sparda Household; she was a little surprised at this, but in the same time made her happy.
And soon they started eating the food and sometimes have some fun by singing and playing some games. Terra maybe a Devil, but she can't help but feel bless by this, and thanked god for it, but soon feel a powerful headache, they told her that praying to god can do that to a devil.
But they still continued with the party having lots of fun.
