A/N: Here is chapter 18, Yusei finally gets his second balance breaker. Enjoy

Wood Clearing

Freed looked from one opponent to the other, he was trying to find any type of weakness in their ranks, and a way out of here. His holy sword glowed as he pointed it towards the gathered group who had now trapped him. Its seems his love for blood, had got him into big trouble. Where was that blasted priest when you needed him. Or that fucking Fallen Angel, all this was his fault, he was just hired help. He stepped back as he noticed the sister of Lucifer, extended her palms and demonic energy appeared in each one.

"Surrender Exorcist, even with a holy sword, you can't hope to defeat all of us." Freed noticed her eyes were glowing, that was some serious messed up shit she was brewing in those hands of hers. However before he could reply, he spotted the devil who he had faced a few nights ago in the crowd. Freed decided to taunt him.

"So Shitty devil, can't fight your own battles, you have to get your master to do it for you. Hahaha Weak fool, should have known you were a pussy" Freed smiled, he knew how prideful Kiba was, there was no way he was going to resist this verbal onslaught. Right on cue, he heard a war cry and he locked blades with the devil.

Kiba, held his ground as both swordsman tried to gain the better ground. Both blades were pushing against one another. Kiba looked to the corner of his eyes to see the others about to help.

"No! Stay out this, I have to do this on my own. I have to avenge my comrades, and destroy this holy sword." Kiba growled as he pushed forwards causing Freed to be pushed back. However eventually the Exorcist broke the deadlock and jumped back.

"Now I've got you." Kiba slammed his sword hard into the ground. "Sword Birth!" The ground erupted below Freed, and tons of sharp pointed blades appeared. Freed was going to be skewered if he didn't do something. He swung his holy sword down and slashed it across the pointed blades, breaking every single one. He then landed in a space that wasn't covered in blades.

"Hehehe nice try shitty devil, but this is no ordinary sword, this is Excalibur and it will take more then a couple of cheap party tricks to beat me. Now take this!" Freed pulled his revolver from his pocket and fired several rounds towards Kiba, who quick as lightning deflected the bullets with his sword. Freed grinned. "Impressive, no one has ever been able to deflect my holy bullets, however deflect this!" Freed charged and jumped, slashing down is holy sword which was parried by Kiba.

Rias and the rest looked on, she knew this was personal, however each minute this fight went on, the more energy and stamina Kiba was losing. She couldn't allow this to go on. However before she could decided what she was going to do, a voice was heard from outside the dome.

"That holy sword is still not working fully for you Freed. Remember what I told you, focus your own holy power into the blade, it gains power from your light energy. Now focus and use Excalibur to show these ants just what a true Holy sword can do!"

Kiba looked outside the dome and saw an old man dressed in cleric clothing. He was holding a book, and was wearing a prayer cap. He had glasses and was bald. Kiba head began to hurt as he got mini flash backs from when he was little. That man's face, why did it look so familiar.

Freed laughed, and jumped back, he then focused all his inner light into the holy blade. Suddenly the Blade glowed brighter. Freed swung the sword over his head, and then slashed it down into the ground. Soon as his blade hit the ground, powerful fissure of light began to snake their way outwards, they impacted the dome shield shattering it. Freed titled his head back and laughed. "Thank you Valpar, that was very helpful. Now that I am free I will say good bye to all of you."

Once the shield had fallen everyone charged towards the Exorcist only to be blinded by a bright light as a magical circle appeared. Freed stepped into the circles with the priest and laughed. Just as they vanished there were two blurs that shot past Rias, it was Irina and Xenovia, they jumped into the circle just as it was vanishing. The two Knight of the Church wasn't the only two who had jumped into the circle, but Kiba had too, frustrated that Freed was getting away again.

Rias looked around and noticed it was only her peerage, and Yusei left, she wasn't pleased with Kiba actions, however there was little she could do.

"Lets all head home. There not much we can do, now. Meeting in club room tomorrow after school."

Later That night Issei House

Issei, Asia and Rias were asleep together in his bed, when they all woke up startled. Something was making them all feel uncomfortable. It was like a sharp pressure to their chests, making it hard to breath. Issei noticed Rias was up, she clicked her fingers and the Gremory seal washed over her. Once the circle had reached the bottom, Rias was fully dressed. Issei watched her walk to the window.

Outside in the Garden Freed stood dressed in his Cleric gear, his sword in one hand and revolver in the other. He laughed as he looked up to the window and saw the sister of Lucifer looking down on him.

Rias pulled the curtains across, what the hell could that freak want, more to the question, how had he discovered who was living here. Rias noticed Issei and Asia had got up and were now getting dressed.

"We've got company"

Outside Freed was waiting, he was getting impatient and was in fact ready to break down the door and just slaughter everyone, with his new power that he had been gifted by Valpar. Eventually the door opened to reveal the sister of Lucifer, standing alongside two of her devils. The truth was Freed was just a distraction the real show was about to happen above him. Freed laughed as the sky suddenly darkened and a Magical seal appeared in the sky. From it a man with long black hair, dressed in a black trench coat with red blood eyes appeared. In his arms was a body and from his back ten black wings appeared. Freed noticed the fear on the Gremory bitch's face this was going to be good.

Rias eyes widened as she looked up at the figure who was now flying above them. It couldn't be, why here, why would he appear now. Rias knew that Fallen Angels were ranked by the number of wings they had and this guy had ten, which meant he was right up the ladder of the Fallen Angel hierarchy.

Kokabiel looked down at the ants below him. "Lady Gremory I presume. It's an honour to meet the sister of the current Lucifer, the man I hate with passion. I wonder what he would do if I was kill his little sister."

Rias stepped forward, she wasn't going to be intimidated by this Fallen Angel, her devils looked to her for leadership and showing weakness would do their confident no good.

"What do you want Fallen Angel?"

Kokabiel laughed and held out the body in his arms. "Just wanted to return this" Kokabiel then dropped the body towards the ground, it would have hit the floor had Rias not stopped it using her magic. Kokabiel laughed. "The little bitch was poking her nose around where it wasn't wanted. Unfortunately this was the only I was able to catch, the other two escaped. Still she has been use to me, her holy sword will make a fine addition to my collection."

Rias had summoned the body to her, and her face paled. It was Irina, she was wounded and had bruises all over her. Rias quickly handed her over to Asia and Issei, who laid her down on the floor. Asia began to get to work and activated her Sacred Gear to start healing her injuries. Rias turned her attention back to the Fallen Angel.

"I very much doubt you only came here to return Irina to us, what is your real reason for coming here?"

Kokabiel just grinned. "Oh nothing much I just thought I would lay waste to this little town of yours. What say we start with the academy, it's getting boring just sitting in the background and I decided I want some fun. You think your brother will show up?

Rias eyes narrowed, "You do that and you will re-start the war between heaven, hell and the fallen Angels. Plus why are you interested in my brother? He has more important things to worry about then some stupid Fallen Angel, and his massive ego!"

Kokabiel grinned. "Silly little girl, that's what I want to happen. I had thought me stealing the holy swords would cause St Michael to start a war, but instead he sent a handle of priest and two holy swords wielders. So If I want war then I will have to provoke the other faction. I am sure Sirzech won't appreciate Fallen Angels blowing up his Territory, or killing his dear little sister."

Rias growled. "You battle freak, why can't you let peace remain."

Kokabiel threw his head back and laughed. "I'm bored little girl, I miss the blood curdling cries of devils and angels as I pierced each one with my spears of light. Oh their death cries were music to my ear, but now, life is boring. All the rest of the Fallen Angels do is tinker with this and that, the only thing Azazel cares about is his boring research of Sacred Gears. However that isn't what I craze. I want the sound of battle, I want this world to be destroyed as the three factions lay waste to each other once more. So little girl, if you want to stop me, then you better be at the academy within an hour, or this whole town will be engulfed in flames and everyone within it, will die!" Kokabiel then vanished with Freed, leaving Rias and the other wondering what to do.

At The Academy

Everyone had gathered outside the academy, Rias had even contacted Sona and asked her assistance. Sona wasn't happy, she was student president and took pride in looking after the academy, she wasn't going to let some rogue Fallen Angel destroy everything. She knew her peerage was nowhere near strong enough to face the fallen angel, and so they have agreed to help out, by creating a barrier around the academy. If the Fallen Angel was planning to blow it up then hopefully the shield would contain the explosion from causing more damage to the surrounding buildings.

Rias walked up to Sona and greeted her. "Sona, thanks for coming. There was no way we could do this on our own."

Sona inclined her head. "It's fine, beside the academy is my responsibility so if anyone his planning to mess with it, then I want to know about it. I am still surprised you're planning to go up against this Fallen Angel on your own Rias. This guy is one of the Leader of the Fallen Angel, he will be no push over. Has your brother been made aware of what is going on?"

Rias lowered her head. "Yes, however he can't help at the moment, he did say though he would sending help, what help that is, I have no clue. However I think we will be okay, after all I have three Sacred Gear wielders on my team. Issei with his Boosted Gear, Yusei with his Trinity Gear, and if we get injured then Asia is on call with her Twilight healing Gear."

Sona looked to Rias peerage and Yusei and nodded. "Very well, I wish you luck, lets hope this isn't the last time we are going to see each other." Sona then embraced Rias in a hug, before turning to her own Peerage who was using their power to create the barrier.

Rias and her group ran towards the academy, as they entered the gates, the barrier descended behind them, they were now sealed inside this dome. If they academy was to be blown then they would die with it. Everyone ran towards the field, however they all stopped as they noticed the old Priest from earlier. Four holy swords were floating around him, and he was stood in the middle of a magical circle chanting.

"Ah so you did decide to turn up after all. How amusing, Valpar, how long until you combine the four Excalibur?" Kokabiel was sat in arm chair that was in the middle of the sky.

The old priest looked up and smiled. "Less than five minutes."

Kokabiel laughed. "Excellent, well lets get this show on the road shall we. Before I waste my time with you, I want you to deal with my pets."

A magical circle suddenly began to appear, in the centre of the courtyard. A pillar of flames rose up and a shape could be seen in the fiery inferno. As the flames died, a loud growl could be heard, and then three heads each with glowing red eye appeared.

Rias froze. "Cerberus, Guardian of hell, what on earth are you doing with him! Its forbidden for him to come here."

Kokabiel laughed. "Do I look like I care little girl, Cerberus kill them all!"

The group stepped back as the huge three headed dog stalked towards them, as it walked its huge paws caused the very ground below them to shake. However things were going to get worse has another Cerberus appeared from another magical circle.

Rias looked to her friends and noticed Yusei was already wielding his Sacred Gear. She noticed Issei had his own on show too. "Issei, Asia, you too on support. Issei I want you to boost your gear and then transfer the power to each of us. Yusei, Akeno, Koneko and myself will keep the Cerberus busy. Issei, you must protect Asia at all costs. If we lose her, then we lose our advantage."

"Sky Dragon Balance Breaker" Yusei armour began to slid into place. Once his transformation was complete he charged towards one of the Cerberus. He used his quick reflects to dodge the giant paws now being swiped at him.

Rias and Akeno were flying above the other Cerberus, both were using a range of elemental attacks, which seemed to be having little effect on the beast. Meanwhile Issei and Asia were dodging incoming fire ball from the other Cerberus. Issei growled in frustration, some times he hated his Sacred gear, it took so long to do anything useful, right now he was on two boosts, he needed at least four to use gift ability. Issei dodged another fire ball and managed to pull Asia out of the way of another. (Boost) There was the third one, however the Cerberus was causing more trouble. Suddenly Koneko appeared and jumped up and kicked the three headed dog right in the face.

"Keep Asia save, I can deal with this puppy!" Koneko flipped onto the middle head and kicked at its eyes, causing the Cerberus to yelp in pain. However she wasn't paying attention to the other three heads and one knocked her off right into the middle heads mouth. Koneko gritted her teeth as the beast jaws closed on her. The saliva was burning her clothes.

Yusei had just knocked his Cerberus down for the count, he looked over and noticed Koneko was struggling, he flew across the field landed on top of the middle head. He then shot electric chains from his gauntlet hands that wrapped around the top jaw of the Cerberus, he then used all his might to pull back.

Koneko noticed the jaws of the Cerberus was being pulled open, she also had seen the electric chains now wrapped around the top of its mouth. She quickly back rolled out of the mouth and flipped to land on her feet. She looked up and saw Yusei was still on top of the Cerberus using his strength to yank the chain back.

"Slifer I need more strength, I need more power."

[My form is not meant to be used like this Yusei, it is for range attacks and its attribute is speed.]

Yusei growled in frustration, however things were about to get worse as the other Cerberus had recovered and was now charging over to him. "Great fantastic, my attacks are only slowing this things down, I need the power to destroy them once and for all."

Meanwhile, Rias and Akeno had just been transferred Issei power and now both were using more powerful attacks to take down their Cerberus, Unfortunately the beast just wouldn't go down. Rias charged a huge orb of demonic energy and launched at the Cerberus, who countered with his own Fire ball. Both attacks were locked in deadlock, however the other two heads also decided to launch their attacks, and now the Demonic energy was being pushed back. Rias and Akeno cried out as not only their attack, but the Cerberus attack hit them as well. Both fell from the sky and were heading for the concrete below them.

Issei saw both girls falling, however he could only catch one of them. Issei charged across and fell forward catching Rias in his outstretched arms. Fortunately he didn't have to worry about Akeno as Yusei had flown across at blinding speed to catch her. Issei called Asia over who began to heal both girls. Issei noticed Yusei eyes they were glowing blue.

Yusei looked up at the best who had dared tried to kill his girlfriend, he heart filled with anger and hate for the creature in front of him. He wanted to rip this son of bitch in two, and then quarters and then eighths until only little scrapes were left.

"Trinity Gear Second Liberation"

Yusei cried out as he was consumed in a pillar of blue light. His Slifer armour vanished and instead shiny blue armour began to slid over his body. This armour was much more heavier then his Slifer one. Once the light had died down, Yusei stood transformed.

Everyone just looked on at the armoured being in front of them. Yusei face was covered by a spiked blue helmet that resembled an evil looking face. His body armour was wide and broad, he had huge spiked spaulder on either side of his shoulders, and his arms were two clawed gauntlets.

Yusei could feel the new power flowing into him, he then heard a new voice from his Sacred Gear.

[Finally mortal, you have awoken my form, you wished for pain upon your enemy, and you believed in it so much that your emotions took over and shattered the second seal on your Trinity Gear. Introductions will have to wait, for now, however this form is called Destruction Balance Breaker, enjoy]

Yusei watched as one of the heads of the Cerberus snapped towards him. Yusei crouched and then jumped using his gauntlet hand to land an uppercut under the Cerberus chin, there was sound of fleshing ripping as the middle head went spinning in the air and landed a few feet from the others. Blood was spurting from the middle neck. Yusei was stunned, one punch did that. Yusei didn't have time to reflect on what he had done, as the other heads snapped towards him. Two more uppercuts and all three heads were now detached from their body. The body thrashed about as blood began to pool around it. Eventually though the body fell, causing the ground to shake below Yusei feet.

Meanwhile Kiba and Xenovia had appeared to rescue Koneko, who was struggling with the other Cerberus, a quick slash here and there from their blades, and the other Cerberus joined their comrade in death. The sudden appearance of the two knights had stunned everyone, except Yusei who had been pre-occupied with his own Cerberus. However once the final Cerberus had fallen the whole group gathered together. Rias wanted to know where Kiba had been, however that conversation was cut off by the old priest laughing. There was a bright light, which blinded everyone.

"Finally It's complete behold the ultimate Holy sword. Four swords in one, nothing can match its power."

Kiba growled and ran towards the old priest, a sword in his hand. This was it, nothing was going to stop his revenge. After everything this bastard had done to him, and put him through. He was going to die slow and painfully.

"Kiba look out!"

Kiba turned and his eyes widened as a giant spear of light impacted beneath the ground he was running on. He cried out as he was engulfed by a huge explosion, and vanished from everyone sight.
