Episode 4: It's Time to Kill the Stray Devils and Take Out the Trash


Previously on All's Fair in Love and War….

After a shocking battle at the Opening Ceremony and being accustomed as an instructor from Tesshin Kawakami, Dayo, Natsu and Justin all befriended Yahiro Takigawa, but they are somewhat suspicious when he talks about Mio Naruse.

And then the Class Representative of 1-2-3-A, Yuki Nonaka, wants to talk to Dayo alone in a Coffee Shop as he quickly finds out that she is a Representative of the Hero Tribe and thankfully, not a member of the Hero Faction of the Khaos Brigade.

And right now, she has a message to give to Dayo, unaware that a few people are watching them…


** At a Coffee Shop **

(Dayo's POV)

I knew that something fishy was going on from the get-go, and this tense atmosphere says it all.

"Don't involve yourself with Mio Naruse any further. And for that matter, don't involve yourself with the Angels, Fallen Angels, or Devils either," said Yuki straightforwardly.

"Let me guess. Based on the Hero Tribe's protocol, I bet that she's considered an S-ranked observation target, while I'm possibly an SS-ranked elimination target. Is that correct?" I asked as I was disappointed at her trying to intimidate me. The sad fact is that my father, Gilgamesh, is considered to be the starting domino that led to the creation of both the Hero Tribe and the Hero Faction.

"And they just had to choose you, of all people, to do it, when they already know about our family, and the Night Raid, and when Mio has been taken into our clan. And how do I know, you ask? It's because of my 3 Aunts that told about the organizations that are monitoring our movements, as well as Mio's," I remarked, making Yuki look troubled.

"Then why? Your father was what started the Hero Tribe, and you know how dangerous your family is, as they want to destroy humanity to create a perfect world! Not only that, but the 3 Factions keep reincarnating humans of this very world to repopulate their own. Even Angels!" she warned me, and unfortunately, she's got a good point there.

"Sadly, that was a true part, I'll admit that, but we've changed. I've founded an empire that will be a safe haven for us, as well as the 3 Factions, but you got to know that they have reasons of doing so," I answered back. "And trust me. I'll do everything in my power to prevent my family from going back to their original ways."

Then, I took a quick glance at the mirror, only to notice that not only I see one of my students watching the whole thing, but also sitting across from her were Mio and Maria as they were failing to hide behind a menu as they were eavesdropping.

(Across the Area)

(3rd-Person POV)

"I never imagined one of Mistress Mio's classmates was a member of the hero clan," Maria whispered as she peeked over the menu and looked ashamed that she didn't suspected the fact that one of the organizations, the Hero Tribe, would plant an observer so much to her chagrin without her knowledge.

Of course, Kotori Itsuka, from another organization herself, on another table unknowingly responded, "Well, you're not the only one. We should've done a background check on everyone. Unfortunately, this isn't a Date that I was thinking of. And neither would Mio for that matter."

"H-Hold on! I didn't say such a thing at all!" Mio denied her new classmate before stealing a glance at Yuki when she heard her rather forceful request to her new step-brother. 'But now that I think about it, she did steer well clear of me. Not only that, but some others were watching intensively….'

"I've…been a fool," she muttered, clenching her hands under the table.

"You sure are," Kotori responded while licking her lollipop. "Hiding in plain sight is one of the standards of the clan. You would never have been able to detect her."

"T-That's not what I meant! And the worst part was that I revealed that we're living together in front of everyone, and now he's here with her on some sort of lover's rendezvous…"

"Classic tsundere…" Kotori grumbled in a deadpan voice.

"I'm not a tsun-" Mio started loudly, slamming her fist on the table before Maria clamped her hand over her mouth.

"Shh!" Maria hissed. "You shouldn't have anything to worry about as long as they leave us alone. And besides, we don't have enough energy to spare on making enemies out of the Hero Tribe."

"That's right. For what I'm concerned, it's the Hero Tribe themselves that should be worried if they do anything stupid," said Kotori as she bit her lollipop.

'That's not what I'm worried about,' Mio thought to herself as she looked at Dayo and Yuki as she became jealous of them as Yuki moved a little closer to him, which unfortunately marks the succubus curse on her neck. 'N-No!'

"Mistress Mio?" Maria asked as she noticed Mio's change in posture as she started shifting around her seat.

Kotori notices this too as she smells a sweet scent as a smirk appeared on her face. "Well, well, well. What do we have here?"

'No! I'm not peeking! I'm only concerned about his safety!' Mio thought frantically as she rubbed her legs together.

"What's wrong?" Maria asked.

(Back at the other side)

(Dayo's POV)

I quickly looked and saw the mark under Mio's neck. Of all places, here? She really IS jealous… Better finish this!

'I-I can't believe that this would be something to activate the curse,' Mio thought miserably as I speak to Yuki again.

"Now look, I'm already neck-deep involved as I got a VERY busy schedule ahead of me, but my family and I have already decided to protect Mio, and consider this. Those good-for-nothing a**holes who are after Mio's birthright had Mio's surrogate parents killed, and now, they're after her life for the power she not only inherits from her biological father, but more. And in case you and those so-called 'Heroes' missed the memo, Mio's just a girl who's been dealt with a bad hand. She's innocent, as in she hasn't done anything wrong."

Yuki said nothing as I continued.

"That's one of the reasons I've decided to protect her. That goes for the Kazama family, and my team of Night Raid as well. Oh, and it was not because I was ordered to, or out of any obligation. I'm doing it because I want to. And I bet that the others would do the same, too. And if you think you're going to make me change my mind, don't. There's nothing you can do about it."

And as soon as I finished that sentence….

"E-Excuse me!"

…a loud shuffling was heard as I saw a flash of red hair flying out the door.

"Miss! Your change!" the cashier called as Maria quickly followed her while Kotori collected that said change.

** Outside the Shopping District **

(3rd-Person POV)

"Mistress Mio! Mistress Mio! Please wait!" Maria called out to Mio, who finally stopped at the crosswalk, upset with herself as tears fell from her eyes.

"What do I do, Maria?" Mio wondered in distress. "He's going so far me and the others…and even his own family…How am I supposed to face him from now on?"

She's been such a jerk to him and his friends. Sure, they were the same to her, but only because she was….mean…to them first.

"But isn't this a good thing? Now we know for sure that Dayo is a genuinely good person," Maria assured the redhead.

"But…"

"It just means it's all right for you to open your heart and have faith in him, as well as his teammates."

"Th-That's all?"

"Other than that, well, if you'd like to do something for Dayo, then I think you should do it."

Kotori, who has seen the whole thing, could only wonder what they were up to. In the meantime, she makes her report to her other teammates.

Also, both Christiane and Yukie walked by and saw both Mio and Maria and decided to check on them.

** At the Coffee Shop **

(Dayo's POV)

"I understand your concern, Ms. Nonaka. And now that I think about, those idiots probably think that they would defeat me and take my powers with the help of…THEM, but the bottom line is this. Mio is facing the darkness of her past, and she's trying to live as best as she can, even preparing to fight to the death. She's trying to fight. And I believe that these 2 schools would be a good place to start, and if that's not a good enough reason, I don't what is."

** At the Street **

"A-A bath?!" Mio, Chris and Yukie shouted loudly after Maria told them about her plan.

"Oh, that's a good idea," Matsukaze followed.

"Maria, you shouldn't have to make Dayo do this in order for them to bond," Chris defended.

"Y-Yeah! Bonds takes time…" Yukie followed as Maria giggled at Mio's flustered look at her latest plan.

** Outside the Kawakami Cake Shop **

(2 hours later)

It was evening as I brought 2 bags of cakes for everyone.

"I can be too nice for my own good. Hopefully, this will be the start of making up," I said to myself as I saw Yuki. "What are you doing here?"

"Your determination is not good enough," Yuki stated at point-blank, unknowingly offending me.

"Uh, excuse me? Care to…elaborate?" I asked calmly, as my tone warned her to choose her next words carefully.

"I can't imagine you alone will be able to defeat the demons after Mio Naruse, even if your team's helping you," Yuki replied as I resisted the urge to facefault.

I quickly calmed down and said, "I'm going to pretend that I didn't just hear that. I know that they are after her powers, and I bet that they are coming after me, too. So let them come. They'll be placed in bodybags for all I care. And besides, my mother and aunts and my sisters will show NO mercy on them if they lay a finger on me," I said as I turned around to walk home.

"That's impossible," Yuki stated quietly as a light green aura surrounded her.

A sharp tick of spiritual energy alerted me that she was summoning her weapon, and whipped around to see her materialize her gauntlet with a sheathed katana that I quickly recognized.

Not only that, but a wolf-like beast was right behind her, and without wasting a second, she immediately spun on her heel and cleaved it.

"A Stray Devil," Yuki muttered before the blade vanished. "They're being drawn by Mio Naruse's power as the Demon Lord and growing in numbers. If her existence starts causing danger to her surroundings, then she'll be upgraded to an elimination target, just like you. Once that happens, then I won't be able to show mercy. Even if we have to fight each other," she warned me seriously.

I looked at her with soulless eyes as I swiped my finger to unintentionally kill another Stray Devil that was creeping behind Yuki, who failed to sense it.

"Then tell your buddies, and the Khaos Brigade that if they want an early funeral, they'll know where to find me. And trust me. You won't be able to touch any one that I care, because I will stop you every time, and if Mom or any one of my family tries to stop you, consider that as an early grave. And you can believe that."

And then, 2 things happened that takes a nasty turn for the worst. First, as much as I want to deny it, there's was no mistaking it. Black feathers dropped down to us, and then my senses detected their energy as well.

It was light, which means one thing.

"Great. Fallen Angels," I growled as I called Akame to warn her that the Fallen Angels are on the prowl.

The second thing was that Yuki immediately vanished as soon as she saw the black feathers. She needs to be careful…in more ways than one.

** At the Shimazu Dorms **

"I'm home!" I shouted irritably as Miya grabbed my shoes to prevent the wall from being dented.

"DAYO! Is it true that you've gone on a date?!" Miyako asked in anger. "After all this time that I've waited…"

"NO!" I yelled back at Miyako. "Apparently, there are some enemies that want to eliminate both me and Mio, and if that's not bad enough, the Fallen Angels are VERY close to this area."

Everyone gasped as they looked at me and Mio.

"Like that's ever going to happen!" said Leone as she hugged me and used her energy to help me calm down.

"Yeah. If they're going to mess with you, they have to deal with us first," said Momoyo as her battle aura climbed.

"Same here!" Kazuko followed.

"That's right!" Miyako responded.

"Ditto," Chris simply said.

"I won't forgive them if they hurt you," said Yukie with an eerie smile.

The other girls soon followed while the boys also agreed, but unfortunately, they didn't have strong battle auras, except for Natsu and Justin.

And then, someone cleared their throat as we all turned to Mio and Maria sitting on the other sofa opposite of the girls, with the former looking nervous about something while the latter had a look of displeasure on her face and a tickmark on her head.

"…What is it?" I asked Maria in annoyance.

"What is it, you say? What do you have to say for yourself, neglecting your bodyguard duty on the first day of school?" Maria asked, narrowing her eyes. "Sure, teachers come in late, but this is unacceptable!"

"Excuse me? You want to run that by us again, succubus?" Tatsuki asked, cracking her knuckles as her tone told her not to push it, but it fell on deaf ears.

"Being out this late on a lovers' rendezvous is a cause of concern. We were worried you were up to something with her! Isn't that right, Mistress Mio?"

"Huh? Y-Yes, we did…"

'Lovers' rendezvous?!' the other girls thought, and actually thought that it did happen, but then they breathed in and out, knowing that Maria was up to no good again as she was trying to guilt-trip me, and it almost worked based on the looks of the Kazama family girls.

It was then that enough was enough.

"Of course, we have faith in you. We trust you. We do," Maria continued. "It's just as those who are going to be fighting together from now on, we'd like to deepen our bond of trust. That's all. Right, Mistress Mio?"

"R-Right. Exactly."

"Don't you agree, Dayo?" Maria asked as we all looked at her with a bored look.

"Are you done?" I asked as I landed on Momoyo's lap.

"Eh?" Maria squeaked, not expecting that sort of response.

"Do you really think that our boss is stupid?" Leone asked as she sat on the floor. "You do realize that like me, Natsu and Justin, he can smell your scent from anywhere, and I bet that he smelled you the moment you stepped followed him somewhere! Do you realize that we are also capable defending you both while he's handling other business?"

"But it's better when you're with us!" Maria protested and gasped, clamping her hands over her mouth and sweated when she realized what she just said.

"And you stepped in it now," Miya replied as she was right behind Maria as several Hannya masks surrounded her as a feverishly shaking and sweating Maria could only look back as Mio and the others stepped back from Miya as possible. "It appears that you didn't seem to learn your lesson yet, so I think it's high time that I…remind you of that."

"No, please! Anything but THAT!" Maria wailed as Miya dragged her away by the buns of her hair.

"Serves her right," Benitsubasa replied as she drank a full cup of wine with Leone and Kazehana following her.

"Mio, I think that you should bond at your own pace," Tatsumi finally responded. "You know what they say, 'Rome can't be built in a day.'"

"Su-Sure. Whatever you say…Tatsumi," Mio responded with a blush.

"Good observation, Tatsumi," I smiled. "At least you're on the same page. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take a shower, and when we're done, we're going to town to see if those Fallen Angels are making their move. Night Raid, move out!"

[YES, SIR!] the Night Raid members responded as they began to head out while Mio was thinking about what Tatsumi said. And at the same time, she didn't want Maria's plan go to waste…

** At the Bathroom **

I sighed as I laid in the water, letting the warm water soothe my body. It was one of these rare days that I was taking a bath by myself. I was usually joined by my maids, my family, or my closest friends. However, being alone is definitely a good change.

I was thinking of many girls, but when it comes to Maria, boy, she can be a problem. She's a succubus, but the worst kind; a loli. There was no way in hellfire that I was going to think about her body. Heck, even Ophis' loli body is better than hers, and that's saying a lot! If she grew a little taller with her chest swelling cup sizes, we would be in business. But for her to rush our bonding is not good at all.

And besides, I would NEVER do that to Momo, Kazu-Kazu, Chris, Yukie, and Miyako. Now that I think about it, I have a feeling that there's something more about her not being straight about the Master-Servant Contract.

Suddenly, the bathroom door was heard open, and instead of any of the girls I know, there was Mio with a thin yellow towel covering her busty, naked body.

"Mio, what are you doing here? I'm not looking forward to being assaulted by you over a bogus misunderstanding," I said as I turned my gaze away from her. "And just so we're clear, you came in here first, while I'm in here!"

"Ga! I'm not going to attack you! I just want to…want to…" Mio trailed off as she looked flustered.

"Want to what? Spit it out, Mio!" I snapped, turning back to look at her with a tone telling that I wasn't in the mood for any crap.

"I just want to wash your back! Is that so bad?!" Mio yelled back as her blush increased.

"…No, it isn't Mio. You want to wash my back? Go ahead," I replied as I tossed a washcloth to her over my shoulder and proceeded to wash my arms. "However, if you try anything funny, I'm going to triple your training."

"Mou! My actions will do the talking, and one of them is not hitting you!" Mio said loudly as she bent down. 'I won't lose to you, Yuki Nonaka! Same goes to the girls of the Kazama family!'

As she thought about that, she squeezed out the soapy water that covered most of her covered chest with lather and pulled down her towel to allow her cleavage to slip out more.

"I-I'm starting now, Dayo. Just don't turn this way, okay?" Mio asked as she looked at my back. 'A boy's back. Looking up close, it's rough and sturdy, and yet, he's so soft at the same time.'

'I can sense that this is all Maria's work, isn't it?' I thought as I was now thinking ways on how to make Maria's life miserable.

It was then that Mio dropped her towel and suddenly grabbed from me as I felt her breasts pressing up against my back.

"Don't you even think about turning around! If you move, I'll kill you a hundred times over!" Mio warned me as she started moving up and down, with her breasts sliding along my back. 'I need to do it…the way Maria suggested. I don't want them to take Dayo away from me!'

I growled out at her for doing such a thing like this out of desperation, thanks to Maria.

But…

SLAM!

"Oh yeah? Well, if you keep doing that to him, we'll kill you 500 times over!"

…suddenly came Momoyo, Kazuko, Miyako, Chris and Yukie all with towels on their bodies.

"M-M-Momo? Wanko? Miyako? Christiane? Yukie?" Mio asked in horror.

"This has gone far enough!" Kazuko said. "We want to give Di-nii a bath, too!"

"And you trying to 1-up us isn't making things any better!" Miyako followed. "If anyone wants to do perverted actions to Dayo, it should be me! And besides, I'm wearing his boxers and masturbating them when we're done!"

CRACK!

Next thing Miyako knew, was that her head was hit on the wall. HARD!

Suddenly, I unleashed a dark aura as the air grew colder.

"I was going to let you all bathe me, but since that you all want to prove who's better, then I guess that we'll have to do this…the hard way!" I said in a dark tone as I grabbed the girls and laid them all down to the floor.

"No! Dayo! Onii-chan! NO!" Mio yelped.

"Finally going to do it, Dayo?" Momoyo smirked. "I'm ready. Give me your best shot."

"Wa-Wa-Wait! I'm not ready yet!" Kazuko protested.

"Nein! W-We shouldn't do this!" Chris tried to stand up, but couldn't.

"M-M-My heart is not ready yet!" Yukie blushed and closed her eyes.

Miyako was still knocked out cold.

"This should be good," Matsukaze said from the other side of the door as screams were heard.

** At the Guest Room **

(3rd-Person POV)

Maria was lying on the floor, with her eyes dizzy and looking like a complete wreck, her hair frizzled out, and worst of all, she was hogged tied.

Miya was humming a song when the phone rang.

"Hello?...I see….I'll send him right away," said Miya as she proceeds to tell Dayo about what was going to happen.

Apparently, Izumi Hyoudou, the wielder of the Boosted Gear, was about to be attacked by the Fallen Angels, and the Devils are about to intercept them.

** At the Streets **

It was already dark when Izumi was walking back home through the neighborhood. Her feet were already starting to hurt as it had been almost an hour. She was held back due to her perverted actions at peeping in the men's locker room, thanks to her friend, Aika Kiryuu. As a result, she had to serve an hour of detention, along with the Perverted Duo, Motohama and Matsuda.

"Man. I wish that President Souna would be a little more lenient," Izumi said to herself. She also groaned that she missed her night shift at her mother's workplace, which was a popular maid café. It's also where she lives, and apparently, her friends Ikaros, Nymph, and Astraea all went ahead and are waiting for her arrival.

But unfortunately, it's going to take a little bit longer for her to arrive home when she suddenly felt a cold feeling run down her spine.

"W-Who's there?" Izumi said slowly.

She turned around her as she saw a shapely figure walking towards her. It was a woman, likely in her late teens or early adulthood. She was dressed in some sort of leather dominatrix suit, wearing nothing more than a bra which concealed her large breasts and panties. She had broad shoulder pads with 3 spikes and black gloves covering her arms, matching with black boots which went up her knees and black straps around her thighs. With flawless pink skin, long and smooth black hair which went past her firm buttocks, and pinkish eyes, she was a very gorgeous woman.

The smile on her face, however, was anything but.

"Say there," said the woman in a soft and sultry voice. "Where's your master?"

"What? Master? What are you talking about?" Izumi demanded, shaky. "Are you doing some S&M? If so, you should've said that earlier."

The woman giggled for a moment before she widened her smile, and not in a good way. "Well, thanks for the compliment of my dress. It's too bad that you're a Stray. So…"

What happens next completely stuns Izumi. A pair of large, black bird-like wings jutted out from her back. She held out her hand as a red light began to glow from her palm. "In that case, killing you shouldn't be too much trouble. I'll be your executioner for the evening."

Izumi widened her eyes in horror, and as if by magic, Izumi ran as hard as she could, missing the impact from the light blast the Fallen Angel shot from her hand.

"What the hell is that woman?!" Izumi demanded. "What's going on?"

The Fallen Angel grinned as she reared back her arm and threw down another light spear. And this time…

SHUNK!

…it made its mark as it struck through Izumi's torso. Blood spilt out of her wound and her uniform was stained in red.

"What…no…." Izumi coughed, collapsing to her knees.

"Hang on, Izumi!" came the voice of Natsu as he and Justin finally arrived, a few seconds too late.

"N…Natsu…" said Izumi as she looked at him and Justin, her new friends. Then, a few seconds later, Izumi breathed her last breath as her body simply died out, leaving only her eyes partially open, shocking both Natsu and Justin in the process.

"O-Oi! Hey, wake up, Izumi! Hey!" Justin tried to urge her awake, but there was no response.

"It's too late to save her. The blade would instantly kill a mortal, you know?" the Fallen Angel blankly spoke as she sat on one of the branches, looking at the 2 Dragon Slayers with curiosity. "If anything, her existence is a threat to us, so we had to move in for the kill. She should blame God for putting a Sacred Gear inside her body."

"Mortal? You bastard!" Natsu yelled as he began sprinting toward the black-haired girl, but she simply flew away before summoning another light spear in her hands before pointing to the pinkette.

"This is the end, boy. And that other one will be the next to go," she said as she thrusted the spear towards Natsu at blinding speed, much to his shock. But as if on cue, Justin grabbed Natsu and dashed sideways before the spear could even impale them, before gazing up towards the surprised girl from above.

'They manage to dodge it?! Not even a normal human wouldn't be able to do that,' the Fallen Angel thought in disbelief as she slowly descends to the ground and faced both the pinkette and the blue-haired boy with newfound curiosity.

"Hmm…for humans like you two, I have to say, I'm quite impressed. There's no human as powerless as you to be able to dodge a blade of light, let alone survive from an encounter with a Fallen Angel," the woman said, shocking both Natsu and Justin at what they remember what Dayo told them to be wary of.

"But let's see if you guys can try and avoid this!" After leaving those words, the Fallen Angel suddenly disappeared in a silver blur as both Natsu and Justin were left surprised at the result.

"Shoot!" was all Justin could say before…

SHUNK! SLINK!

…the sound of flesh of being impaled simply rang through their ears as both Natsu and Justin slightly coughed off blood before slowly glancing in shock to see the Fallen Angel pierced both of them through their abdomen!

"Sorry, you two could've lived longer if you just stayed in your house and stopped snooping around. But you two are expendable mortals, so I'll reward you of my real name for surviving this long….My name is Raynare. I do hope you both remember that in the afterlife."

She then took out both spears as Natsu and Justin fell down on the ground with blood gushing out of their bodies, left for dead as their images began to fade.

'No….it can't end like this….I have to fight. Dayo…someone….please lend me your strength…' Natsu thought as his mind became blurry and the last bit of his life held on desperately on his will.

'Why….I can't die like this…not without beating Acnologia…' Justin thought as he began to weaken too. 'Father…I'm coming home….'

All seemed to end on their demise when suddenly, a wave of fire and lightning consumed around them, causing them to plunge into a world of fire as they looked around in confusion as the world around was simply burned away with huge flames, encasing them inside a hellfire. Surprisingly enough, there was no pain, despite being surrounded by it.

However, they did hear 2 voices echoed throughout the red world.

"The time has come."

"The dragon fires will arise."

"A fearsome, powerful storm has been created."

"Everyone will embrace your wrath."

"All shall witness destruction before the might of the great Dragon King."

"As well as the Dragon God of Lightning and Order."

"Natsu Dragneel."

"Justinian Dragonshot."

"It's time to be awakened!"

Raynare had to glance back as she felt something ominous coming from the supposedly dead pinkette and the blue-haired boy. For a moment, she thought they were dead.

"Was it my imagination?" she asked herself as she took a moment to observe them.

Bad idea.

A burst of flames and a wave of sparks erupted from Natsu and Justin's bodies respectively, causing a large gale that soon burned down trees around them and pushed the Fallen Angel back for a few meters away from them.

"What in the world-" was all she could say as both Natsu and Justin stood up, despite the pain in their bodies, as they showed very ticked off looks on their faces.

"Impossible! A normal human cannot be standing with a wound like that…let alone 2…."

With her stuttering in response, Natsu wastes no time as he lifted his hand above before amassing a seemingly large fireball, capable of obliterating an entire forest and threw right towards Raynare at fast speed, in which she narrowly avoids it before exploding to the far corner, shocking the Fallen Angel.

"That fire just now…that isn't something a human would possess…let alone lightning…You 2 don't even have a Sacred Gear on your body, so why are you-"

"Enough talk!" said Justin as he began to conduct sparks of lightning all over his body as Raynare was left in shock at the sight, no pun intended.

"Lightning Dragon's ROAR!" Justin shouted with all of his might as he let out a huge bolt of lightning as it went straight towards the Fallen Angel, who could only watch in horror at the bolt coming towards her.

But at the last possible second, it missed its mark as it went passed her, causing a giant crater at a nearby park, destroying anything in its path, leaving the park completely destroyed as a result. Smoke settled and the battle was already over with both Natsu and Justin to experience strains all over their bodies with the help of their injuries that left them struggling to stay conscious as they cast one last glance to the now terrified Fallen Angel, who by the way, experienced her near death.

"Why…didn't you aim at me?" she tried asking, despite having to draw their last breath, in which it shocked Raynare.

"We….just can't do it. N-No matter how hard we try to…." was all Natsu could say before both he and Justin fell to the ground, unconscious as Raynare was the only one left alive in the battle, and not before long…

BOOM!

"GAHA!" Raynare gasped from the sudden impact hitting her back. Her outfit even ended up getting vaporized from the hit, leaving her to expose her goods to the world. She thought that it was from the fire Natsu made, but instead…

"Pardon me, but I believe that girl is mine," another voice came out of nowhere.

"Tch," Raynare tsked as she covered herself up with her wings as she glared at her attacker behind her. "I know you 2…you're the duke's daughters, right?"

"That's right," another voice was heard as the 2 girls stepped into a street light. "Rias and Kita Gremory, at your service. How do you do, Fallen Angel?" Rias introduced as performed a bow.

"Don't tell me that the girl over there is your property?" Raynare demanded as she pointed at Izumi.

"She is," Kita answered. "And we won't hold back if you kill her."

"Very well," Raynare said as she went back to her tough attitude and released her wings and took off into the air, with her outfit reappearing in a shimmer of light. "You should keep her under better watch, then. There are others like me who would prefer to hunt them down."

"This city is under our protection, but the highest priority is with the Kawakami family," Rias warned. "So if any of your friends interfere, don't blame us if you get turned to ashes for it."

"I'll keep that in mind. Till next time, Princesses of Gremory!" Raynare shouted, flying off into the night air.

It was then the 2 Gremory sisters looked at the area around them, and they were shocked to say the least, but Rias wastes no time in removing the barrier and began to walk over to the newly resurrected brown-haired girl in worry as the plan didn't go well as expected.

"Hmph. What a mess we got here," said a new voice, putting Rias and Kita on edge….

…only to find Dayo arriving on the scene.

"Professor Dominus?" Rias and Kita asked.

"Ah. I didn't expect you two to show up, and as Devils as well," Dayo said.

"How do you know we're Devils?" Rias asked.

"Your aura says it all," Dayo replied before flames and sparks began to engulf Natsu and Justin as their wounds began to close almost instantly, shocking the 2 girls as they stood back in defense at the turn of events.

"Wha….What in the world is happening?" Kita stuttered in disbelief as they were left to witness a rather bizarre change towards the 2 Dragon Slayers as the flames and sparks finally disappeared as Dayo caught both Natsu and Justin, giving the girls a moment to process the situation before Kita started checking their pulses, which they unexpectedly felt despite being near-dead earlier.

"Th-They're alive…." Kita stammered.

"T-That's impossible….How could th-" Rias stopped momentarily before trying to put things together in one place.

"Just to let you know," Dayo said. "These 2 brothers of mine did all of this, and we're also keeping an eye on her as well. So, you 2 better watch your step."

After that, Dayo disappeared with Natsu and Justin in hand. To Rias and Kita, something told them that there's a possibility that the 3 boys they've just met have a special kind of power within them.

Even so, there are still things needed to be done and the procedure of the plan must not be interrupted.

"Kita…" Rias called out her sister's name as Kita prepared a magic circle to teleport them and Izumi back to Izumi's house.

** At a Forest **

After the small attack from Raynare, Akame was walking around the area with Tatsumi and Mine close behind. Tatsumi was trying to communicate with the Tyrant to see if he could learn how to activate Incursio, but nothing happened in the times he had been trying.

But then, both he and Mine all tensed when they felt an ominous presence surrounding them as Akame felt it as well, but to her, she already knew who was coming as she rose a hand to calm both Tatsumi and Mine down.

"Show yourself…..Kalawarner," Akame ordered as a woman emerged from one of the trees. Mine growled as Kalawarner's appearance as she was a tall and buxom woman with long, navy blue hair that obscured her right eye and brown eyes. Her attire consisted of a violet, trench coat-like top with a wide collar, a matching miniskirt, and black heeled shoes. The trench coat top was open at her chest, giving view to her breasts and cleavage. She also wore a gold necklace around her neck.

Tatsumi and Mine all tensed as the aura around Kalawarner was much the same as Akame, meaning she was a Fallen Angel, as it would also explain as to how Akame knew who she was from her presence alone. Even though Kalawarner didn't give off any indication that she would attack, there was an air about her that both Tatsumi and Mine didn't trust.

"Having some fun here, Akame? Is this where you've been all this time?" Kalawarner asked with a smirk, but neither one of the 3 reacted to the obvious suggestive notion she was expressing. Kalawarner sighed in annoyance. "Always such a stick in the mud, and here, I thought you'd actually show us something other than a stoic nature for once."

"What do you want, Kalawarner?" Akame questioned seriously. Kalawarner turned to Tatsumi and Mine as she noticed the slight irregularity in his right eye, meaning that he had something hiding.

"Who's the boy?" Kalawarner questioned, narrowing her eyes at Tatsumi, but Mine is already in front of him with Akame close behind.

"Why are you here?" Mine demanded narrowing her eyes as Kalawarner shrugged her shoulders simply, not caring for the reason as to why these 2, especially Mine, were determined to keep her away from Tatsumi.

"We have heard word that Mio Naruse is somewhere around this area. Not only that, but the nun will arrive here in a few days, and Lady Vretiel has ordered us to make our move against the wielder of the Sacred Gear and the Future Demon Lord sooner than we originally planned," Kalawarner sighed in annoyance, shocking Akame, Tatsumi and Mine as they knew that Mio was going to be targeted sooner or later.

"I no longer have an interest in why we were sent here," Akame stated, surprising Kalawarner as she was never one to defy orders, let alone fully give them up. "Return to the others. I don't care what you tell them, but I am no longer a member of the Grigori."

Kalawarner's eyes widened even more at the sudden declaration. Both Mine and Tatsumi frowned slightly as they looked at Akame as she was giving up her position among the Fallen Angels.

"This is not like you, Akame," Kalawarner spoke. "You're more rational than this. Do you really think that those 2 can protect you from the Devils and Angels that will hunt you? The Grigori will hunt you down, no matter if you are the first daughter of Baraqiel."

"What you plan on doing is basically a death sentence for all of you. That Vretiel may get the Sacred Gear she wants, but you and the others who follow her, especially with her family, are nothing but tools in Vretiel's scheme to gain more power," Akame gritted through her teeth as memories of her time spent with her fellow comrades passing through her mind. "Not only the Devils are in this territory, but also a few Angels and 'Heroes' as well. Do you think they will continue to turn a blind eye to everything you're doing here?"

"They are all nothing to us! Especially Devils!" Kalawarner growled, disliking the thought of even being considered to be on the same level as them.

"You do realize that Rias Gremory, the Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess of Destruction, and her sister Kita Gremory, the Red Princess of Elements, are 2 of the sisters of Lucifer AND Gusion. Not only that, but Mio happens to be Lucifer's successor, so do you really think that they would remain quiet if any of us harmed any one of them? Let alone Lady Necromancer herself? This plan has too many holes, and you're going to wind up dead," Akame explained as Kalawarner scowled with her hands clenched into fists. "So, if you don't want to anger Lady Necromancer, and trust me, nobody wants to, I suggest that you contact Azazel and inform him of what Vretiel and Raynare are doing before it's too late."

"And what of you?" Kalawarner questioned turning to Tatsumi and Mine. "Will you stay with them? Hope that they can protect you forever?"

"Akame doesn't need protecting," Tatsumi stated stepping forward.

"That's right," Mine followed. "We'll fight beside her and our other comrades, no matter who comes our way!"

Kalawarner frowned as it was easily seen to the Fallen Angel that there was an unbreakable trust between these 3, and possibly more, yet she had no recollection of Akame ever meeting with these human before.

"I will have to inform Azazel of your defection. Your Father will be ashamed of you," Kalawarner explained.

"Dayo and Night Raid is all I need for Family. Akeno…is another story," Akame stated as she remembered seeing her younger sister not too long ago. "Now go before it's too late."

Without so much of a goodbye, Kalawarner spread her wings and flew into the sky as Akame sighed as Tatsumi placed a hand on her shoulder.

** At the Streets **

"This is weird," Chelsea stated as Lubbock, Leone, Sheele, and Tatsuki all finished at eliminating another wave of Stray Devils. "Most of these Strays that plagued this are nowhere to be seen. Are they being scared off?"

"Probably because of the Fallen Angels that might have eliminated them," Leone stated before throwing another hard punch to another Stray Devil's skull, cracking it open. "There's an awful lot of them out tonight, not to mention that they're appearing near the dorms."

"Which means that whoever send these monsters here must know where we live," Tatsuki concluded.

"And I have a good idea at who he is," Chelsea stated, surprising the others. "I can tell that he's a student at our school."

"EH?!" the others gasped.

"We'll inform this to Dayo and the others, and we'll be ready for him," Chelsea said with a cold, but confident voice as she bit her lollipop.


END OF FIRST HALF: Akame, Tatsumi and Mine all killing various Stray Devils.

START OF SECOND HALF: Mio Naruse running to school with 3 other girls.


** Outside the School Entrance **

Remember Haruko Amaya, one of the girls Dayo saved the other day? Remember Kodama Himegami, the girl that Dayo beat up at the Opening Ceremony? Well, they and a rather cute girl with red eyes, light brown hair and a great figure with an E-cup bust that Kodama was instantly jealous of, Inaho Kushiya, were all running for the gate after they realized that their clocks are wrong from the dorms, and they're less than 2 minutes away from being locked out.

"Why the hell do I have to run, too?" asked Kodama.

"Because we are roommates and we don't want to be late," Haruko answered.

"That girl is the reason why we're late," Kodama protested.

"Just shut up and run faster," said Haruko as they continued to run.

The girl Kodama is referring to is none other Mio Naruse, who's WAY behind them, as apparently, thanks to the bathroom fiasco last night, Dayo punished her and the other 5 girls by making them walk to class. For some reason, she didn't sleep well last night, and long story short, she was now running to the entrance.

Minori Rokujou, the P.E. and School Principal of the new Kuoh Academy, has caught glimpse of the 4 girls running towards and says to them while holding her large Paper Fan, "Hey guys! The school year has just started and already you're all in such a rush to get here on time. Are you all trying to invoke my wrath?"

Haruko, Kodama, and Inaho all made it, but it looks like Mio will not as the gates begin to close.

"Right! These 3 girls have made it on time. They're safe," said Minori.

"Damn it all!" Mio cursed as she doubled her efforts, but it's not enough.

"Looks like she's going to be late," said Minori. "Guess it can't be helped."

Then Kodama summoned her fire spirit as it said, "Sheesh. You are using us Shikigami for such trivial matters."

The fire spirit pushes Mio through the gate, just as it closes completely, as she lands face-first to the ground.

"Himegami!" yelled Haruko as she tries to help Mio up.

"Nice to see you made it," said Kodama.

"Haruko," said a new voice. "As Vice-President of the Maken-Ki club and Security Committee. By being late, you are setting a poor example to the rest of the new students. What would Souna say if she saw this?"

It happened to be the orange-haired glasses girl from the Opening Ceremony, the President of the Maken-Ki club, Furan Takaki.

"My deepest apologies," said Haruko.

It comes to as no surprise that both Furan Takaki and Souna Shitori all set as prime examples of what this school represents, plus they hold the top grade efficiency scores, which compared to most students is usually twice as good as the students from the Kawakami Academy. As for the Student Council President for the Kawakami Academy, that's a different story….

"Vice-President," said Furan. "Although we are now a co-ed elite training school, we should keep up our guards when it comes to boys. You never know when they'll show their true colors."

Then the wind blew and Furan's skirt lifted up, revealing her white panties with a picture of a bear. Furan tried to hide it, but the wind had other ideas.

Kodama and Mio saw the whole thing, too.

"President," said Kodama in a teasing way. "You unexpectedly wear such cute underwear."

"C-Cute…" Mio blushed at the underwear, but Furan looked terrified.

"No!" yelled Furan in embarrassment.

Minori sighed, "Hurry up and get to class already."

** At Kawakami Academy **

The entire school is in a gossip fever.

Yesterday, they all experienced Dayo launch a couple of surprise attacks to one of the Kuoh Academy students, Kodama Himegami. Not only that, but he also stopped a punch from Momoyo and didn't get blown away to the heavens, or else the 4 Archangels will be clearly shocked after that.

It awe-inspired so many students from all years as they won't stop talking about it, especially the girls at thinking at how handsome and irresistible, and how crazy strong he is.

** At Class 1-S **

Both the boys and girls at Class 1-S were all talking about Dayo and if they want to be his friend, including Kosugi Musashi, a popular and martial arts practitioner.

Kosugi is a teenager of average height. She has a slim body all in a while having pale skin. She has ash colored hair with 2 ahoges. She can be quite the glory hog, wanting to garner attention with her proactiveness. However, this usually backfires on her leading to failure or embarrassment.

And while Monshiro, the youngest daughter of the great Kuki Corporation and the Class Representative of Class 1-S, plans on how to talk to Dayo is a very formal manner, her personal butler, Hume, speaks about him as well.

"He is a rare occurrence, my lady. No openings, a well-hidden aura and a powerful charisma; it is rare to see someone with such traits in his possession."

"I agree Hume," Monshiro replied. "I can tell his lineage is exemplary. But more so, I can think he is not just about innate talents. And from that fight yesterday, based on his reflexes, he has been through a lot."

Hyumu turns a piqued look at Monshiro before turning back as he thought about the man's true origins, so thinking about his traits, this comes to as no surprise.

'Infinity… Tesshin can sure sneak around and be able to bring the only son from that family here….an impressive and dangerous feat…' Hyumu thought as he was going to have a talk with the principal after all of this is over.

** At Class 2-F **

(A few hours later)

The students here were also talking about the new teacher Dayo, but most of them thought as Dale Dominus. They just heard after lunch break from the 1st years and other year levels that he already gained a strong foot hold in both schools.

Everyone is impressed and wanted to meet him as well.

Now, among the members of the Kazama Family in 2-F, Yamato, Miyako, Chris, Wanko/Kazuko, Moro, Gakuto, Shouichi, and Gen were Lubbock, Natsu and Justin from Night Raid as they talked about Dayo.

"As expected of our dear professor. Cementing his foot hold in these schools," Miyako said with a big blush on her face.

"I heard it too. Most of the 2nd years that saw he said that looking at him felt like looking at a prince," said Chika with awe. "He is really popular all of a sudden."

"Even among the faculty, many teachers praised him for his skills as a first-time instructor," Mayo, the class representative of 2-F, replied. "He's really making a good first impression."

"That's right!" Natsu boasted. "And as a younger brother, it's no surprise that he's strong, and so are we. After all, we take our training very seriously."

"I'm getting a bit discouraged after you just said that," Kazuko frowned, but couldn't help but feel giddy at Dayo training her in the future.

"Y-Yeah…and after what happened…last night….he can be very hard to read at times," Chris replied as she is on the same page as Wanko, as their interest in Dayo grew stronger.

"And the best part is that we're already friends with him," said Moro.

"Not only that, but if I stick with him more often, than I'll be well-liked too. Maybe his aura will make me popular with girls as well," said Gakuto as he was always being honest with what he wants, and with a hopeful smile on his face.

"Good luck with that," Lubbock followed. "I've been there, done that. No result."

Gakuto slumped after what Lubbock said as Moro added with an insightful comment, "No doubt that the Elegante Quatro will become Elegante Cinco."

The Elegante Quatro consists of the 4 most handsome men of Kawakami Academy, in which they are Shouichi, Touma Aoi, Tadakatsu Minamoto, and Hikoichi Kyougoku. Now, Dayo could very well be that 5th member.

Suddenly the other girls of 2-F began gossiping, excited about the certain addition to the school's group of most handsome men. Sadly, Suguru Oogushi and Ikurou Fukumoto, known as Yonpachi, didn't like this at all.

Suguru has a very skinny build and is an antisocial otaku. He has pale skin and wears glasses. He has black eyes and long black hair that reaches his shoulders but he ties his hair for school. When wearing his Kawakami Academy uniform, he is normally wearing a T-shirt underneath with an anime girl pattern on it. When Suguru was younger he had a childhood friend and grew to have a crush on her but later his childhood friend decided to date a good looking guy and Suguru ended up with a broken heart. Because of this, Suguru doesn't believe in love with '3D' girls and instead prefers to love the girls in his eroge games. However, Suguru can easily differ real life from his games because he will often point out situations that one would call a 'flag' in his games.

Ikurou has brown eyes and brown hair, he is the shortest male member in his class, his head also resembles a monkey, specially when he put his perverted smile. Ikurou has slightly dark skin. Ikurou is known as "Yonpachi," since he resembles a monkey. He was also nicknamed by many of his male classmates "The Emperor of Virgins." He is always carrying his photographic camera, trying to take shots of the female students' underwear, but he hasn't been able to take one from the female members of the Kazama Family. Like most of his classmates, he has a bad relationship with the members of class 2-S, but he also wants to take photos of the female members of class 2-S. There was also no doubt that he's the most perverted person in Kawakami Academy.

"These 3-D women…" Suguru grumbled.

"Ahhh… my life is slipping…" Ikurou mumbled to himself as if he was about to resign from life.

Then suddenly….

WHIP!

"All right, students! Quiet down!" came the voice of Umeko Kojima, the strict and serious teacher of Class 2-F as she walked in. Umeko has red eyes, and maroon hair to her ears. She tends to wear the same suit, even in summer, because she needs to carry her whip in her suit. She also has pale skin. She is descended from a family of warriors and has been trained ever since she was little. She practices the Kojima whip style and uses her breaks to train herself with the whip to ensure her students aren't more powerful than her. In addition, like most of the teachers in Kawakami Academy, she was also a student in Kawakami Temple. "Listen up! We're going to get ready for the physical exam for all students in both schools, so get ready to go to the infirmary immediately!"

When Yonpachi heard that, he was very excited, which means one thing: Lots of girls in bras and panties. He thanked the Lord for such an opportunity. Little does he know is that he's about to be in big trouble…

** In Class 2-S **

The elites of the 2nd year also became interested at the new instructor. To the normal students and especially around the normal girls, the topic is the boy's looks and charisma which quickly became popular. But for the very elite among the class, it was the boy's power that he showed yesterday at the Opening Ceremony.

The fighters in 2-S became very interested, especially with Koyuki Sakakibara.

Koyuki has pink eyes and waist-length, white hair. She also has pale skin. She has a very athletic body, specifically her legs. She is called Yuki by her friends. Koyuki has two childhood friends, Touma Aoi and Inoue Jun. She always hang around with these two. Koyuki always listens to what Touma says. She also likes to make fun of Inoue for being a lolicon along with his bald head, the latter of which she had a part in making.

"Wow, this teacher is all the rage in the school; the school message board is full of comments and capture images of him. So many entries already," said Inoue as one of the hosts of the famous Kawakami Radio Broadcast, which also now goes to Kuoh Academy.

"Ne~ Jun, can I join in on your next broadcast?" Koyuki asked.

"Yuki, not to be mean, but you'll ruin it," Inoue answered.

"That's why Jun has no hair."

"That's mean!"

While Koyuki was bothering Inoue, Yoshitsune, Benkei with Azumi, Kokoro, and Margit looked at the message threads about the professor.

"He sure became famous at Day 1. What a guy," Benkei said lazily said while sipping Kawakami water.

"Well, it's true that he impressed everyone here, but he still has the Kuoh Academy students to impress, so he shouldn't get too ahead of himself," Kokoro noted pitifully.

"Still haughty, huh?" Azumi silently commented to Kokoro.

"He seems like a good guy, though," said Yoshitsune with bright eyes, probably because of her Honor-student attitude as she wants to see everyone becoming friends. "We should try and be friends. It will be better for everyone, right?"

This earns her a rub on the head from Benkei.

"Well, there is that, but I am more interested in challenging him," said Margit. "After all, he surprised me by bringing a former mentor, Najenda, that I followed during my younger days, and she's on his team, which means that he's no weakling. Fighting him would be a rewarding experience."

"And this one is hopeless," Azumi sighed deeply using her original voice, rather than the cute one she always use when with Hideo (or Dayo, if she's lucky).

Touma, the smartest kid of the Academy, and unfortunately a bisexual at that, and Hideo on the other hand, were a little more serious about the topic.

Touma was shown to have brown eyes and brown hair to his neck. He has dark skin, while also wearing glasses. He has a very calm personality and always keeps his head cool in most situations. Aoi is a flirt since he almost flirts with everyone he knows, be it male or female except Jun and Koyuki (they are somewhat family to him).

"So Hideo, do you know any family named Infinity? It sounds like a name to brag about, but it's not," Touma asked Hideo.

"Touma, my friend, I haven't, despite him and I being met earlier. There are only a handful of famous families in Japan, all are known to Kuki. But we never heard about him being in a family that goes by the name of Infinity. I may have to ask Hume or Claudio later," Hideo responded.

Both of the leading figures of Class 2-S also saw Dayo fight Kodama at the Opening Ceremony, and like everyone else, they were impressed by what they saw, never mind his prowess which he showed at the 2 quick matches. However, unlike everyone else that was too quick to accept him, they felt something grand and ominous was following the young man.

** At the Old School Building **

The same can be said for Rias, Kita, and their childhood friend Sona as they too, felt that something BIG was going to happen.

And as they were playing chess, Rias said to Sona, "Did you see the fight yesterday?"

"I sure did," Sona answered. "Powerful, charismatic, and knows how to get along with the masses, and yet, showed no mercy yesterday…. he may be a prince of a powerful clandestine family."

Genshirou Saji, Sona's pawn, did not look pleased.

"I still don't get why we have to keep an eye on him," he complained. "I already don't like him."

Tsubaki, Sona's queen, replied with an icy stare, "Saji, it's the Council's responsibility to do so. Not to mention that he holds a LOT of power, so we can't help it. And complaining about it might send the wrong image for Kuoh and Kawakami."

The dark-blonde haired boy gulped when Tsubaki leveled her stare at him. It was not as potent as Sona's, but it was still potent nonetheless. "I-I know. But…I bet he's one of those spoiled-type brats."

Rias flinched at that as her older brother Sirzechs spoils her during her early childhood, and to this day, it makes her cringe. It doesn't fare any better when Kogarashi, her personal 'maid', shows up and does all sorts of crazy things and invades her privacy space.

"Saji," Sona warned him that the boy cower. Sona was a normally passive person, but you know what they say about passive people; they tend to have the biggest tempers.

Rias and Kita are no different as sometimes, their emotions can become the better of them.

"And by the way," Rias said to Sona. "I actually saw him last night, and he, Natsu and Justin all saved my servant Izumi from a Fallen Angel. However, Natsu and Justin actually survived the Fallen Angel's attack and they are human."

Now, Sona would be lying if she said she wasn't shocked by this. "How is that possible?!"

"We don't know," Kita answered. "Not only that, but does Natsu's last name Dragneel sound familiar?"

"As if in….Dragon?!" Sona concluded.

"Then we need to keep an eye on him, Justin, and the new teacher. I have a feeling that their powers could become beneficial to us," said Rias. "And if we're lucky, they could help me…with my problem."

"Let's not get too ahead of ourselves, Rias," Sona warned her as she knows Rias and her family for their greed. "These guys could be way out of our league. Let alone Momoyo Kawakami. And do you also realize that there are a few…Angels around this school?"

"Yeah," Rias answered worriedly. "I don't know what they're up to, but I'm going to assume that it's not good."

All the while, Akeno was thinking about her sister Akame, and what her familiar told her about Justin and his powers.

** At Kawakami Academy **

For the students at Class 3-F, they were too afraid to talk about it out loud, because of Medaka Kurokami, Ryuuko Kurokagami, and Momoyo Kawakami. The Goddess of War was feeling very odd about what happened yesterday at the Opening Ceremony.

'His aura grew strong, but not THAT strong. I've never felt something like that before. It gives me a chilling…like a wind that blew through me….and those eyes of his…'

Looking at Momoyo were Tsubame and Yumiko Yaba, the president of Kawakami Academy's Archery Club. Yumiko is a girl who has long, brown hair in a Hime cut and wears glasses. She has blue eyes. Yumiko is of average height, has a pale skin is quite slim. Her body is in general quite attractive to the males in Kawakami Academy. She is in the same class as Momoyo and also considered as one of the bishoujos in class 3-F. She is a good cook and has a crush on Touma Aoi. Even though she respects Momoyo for her strength, she doesn't like Momoyo Kawakami, calling her a "hooligan."

"You think she's going to challenge the new instructor?" Yumiko asked to Tsubame.

"That's a blunt question….but knowing Momoyo, I think she would, and I know I would too," Tsubame whispered back.

"Well, I am interested to see the match, but I'm worried for him…" Yumiko said to Tsubame.

"It'll be a sight to see," Medaka answered. "And I want to see what he can really do."

"And maybe have him endorse natto for me as well," Tsubame followed as she was the same as Yumiko, although she is a bit more open to it.

'But that man…what's he hiding? That smile is endearing but also scary because you can't see what lies behind it.'

Then suddenly, the door opened to reveal a woman with long orange hair and an E-cup bust and wears a mini headband and a long teacher's dress and has a big smile on her face, which for some reason, indicates that she has something to hide… Her name is Tomika Amado.

"Hello everyone!" the young teacher smiled. "It's time for your physical exam! Please follow me to the infirmary."

"Physical Examination already? Alright!" Momoyo smiled, knowing that she has plenty of girls to flirt around with.

"Why the hell is that necessary?" Yumiko asked.

** At Kuoh Academy **

Outside the building came the Perverted Duo of Matsuda and Motohama, and Ikurou from Kawakami Academy with the camera in his hand.

Matsuda, a perverted self-proclaimed lolicon, is a former jock and school sports star. His earned nicknames include "Perverted Baldy" and the "Sexual Harassment Papparazzi."

Motohama, another perverted man, claims to have the ability to calculate a female's body measurements just by looking at them. His own nicknames include "Perverted Glasses" and the "Three Sizes Scouter".

The boys all began to make their way as well and spy on them, and believe it or not, they all have found a tree as the perfect place to spy on the girls.

"This is going to be a goldmine that we are looking forward to dig," said Ikurou as Matsuda and Motohama climbed up on one side of the tree while Ikurou was on the other side.

These 3 boys have no idea that trouble is lurking ahead…

(10 minutes later)

(Dayo's POV)

"OK. Let's cut to the chase. What are you doing here?" I asked to Yu Fujikura, who has short, dark hair and sports a slim, curvaceous body with ample breasts and is wearing the Kuoh Academy girls' uniform. Here's the problem: She's one of my maids!"

"Master Dayo, Mariel wanted me to tell you that your aunts are doing this to keep your powers in check, and to be aware of the organizations that are trying to kill you," Yu answered. "Not only that, but they are also thinking of bringing your 'home' here."

I sighed deeply, knowing that things are about to be a lot more complicated than it is.

I was about to reply back to Yu when I heard the sound that I know all too well, and I hate it!

It was the sound of perverted giggling.

"Excuse me for a moment," I said to Yu as I walked towards where the giggling came from. After a few moments, I found three boys on the branches of a tree, each giggling rather perversely and were wiping away small trails of blood from their noses. Seeing the scene before my eyes, I resisted the urge to facepalm.

Of course, this situation would happen. Considering the school just went co-ed a couple of days ago, it won't be long before perverts enroll this school just to satisfy their unnatural lust.

I silently walked towards the three, careful not to make a sound as I stopped when I looked at the boys on top.

** On top of the tree **

(3rd-Person POV)

"This is great! From here, we have the perfect view," said Motohama.

"Yeah, it's better than peeping at the Kendo club for a change," said Matsuda.

"This is well worth the walk and the wait," said Ikurou.

"Yeah! That's what truly make co-ed schools so great," said Matsuda and Motohama at the same time.

Then the 3 boys all looked at each other and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Then they all answered, "I'm just interested in this tree. I'm also very interested in that gap between the two curtains."

They all looked at each other in amazement, as they all had the same answer.

Then they all asked, "Will you stop copying me?!"

Then they all heard from the Infirmary, "Once you're removed your clothing, please form a line."

That voice belonged to a woman with light dark brown hip-length hair, with 2 strands of hair sticking out like antenna, aqua-blue eyes with red glasses, a 'beauty mark' under her left eye, a voluptuous figure with I-cup breasts, and adorning a green sweater with a white robe on top, a short skirt, and long brown tights. Her name is Chisato Hasegawa, the nurse of Kawakami Academy.

[OKAY!] replied the girls.

"And here we go!" replied the Perverted Trio.

The boys saws lots of girls in their bras, panties, and abnormally big breasts and butts. Just as they imagined.

"Amazing!" they all said as Yonpachi wastes no time in taking photos at lightning fast speed.

"Muruyama's b**bs are so big!" Matsuda whispered loudly with glee.

"She's 82-70-81." Motohama added.

"Katase has great legs!"

"She's 78.5-69-79."

"That's nothing!" said Ikurou. "Look at those 2!"

** Inside the Infirmary **

"This is embarrassing," said one of the girls.

"Don't worry. The school nurses are also women," said another.

"Wow! That one's worth 60 points, and the other is worth 72 points!" said Motohama outside.

"That's such a cute bra!" said another one of the girls. "Where did you get it?"

"I bought it online," answered another.

"I call 52 points on that one!" said Ikurou outside.

"57 points for the other," said Matsuda.

"Ah, this skirt is too short for me," said another girl.

"70 points," said Motohama outside.

"I wonder how much I've grown," said another girl as she was being measured on how tall she is.

"68 points," said Ikurou outside.

"What beautiful smooth skin, I'm so jealous," said another girl.

"70 points," said Motohama and Matsuda.

"Um…I just got here…."

"75 points," said Ikurou.

"So, you're such a type that appear smaller when they are wearing clothes."

"Let me feel them a bit," said another girl as she groped another girl's breasts. "So soft."

Outside, the boys all had their noses bleed as they scored big time.

"80 points!" said Motohama.

"85 points for me!" said Matsuda.

"Kimie, are you wearing a thong?" asked one of the girls.

"That's because today I'm having a date with my boyfriend!" the girl answered.

"So, you're planning going all the way?"

"Girls with boyfriends get no points," said Ikurou. "Whoa! 120 points!"

The 2 others wondered why Yonpachi scored big, and they soon found out why.

There were Rias and Kita Gremory, along with Akeno Himejima, Yumi Kiba, Mio, Akame, Mine, Orihime, Tatsuki, and of course…

"Hello everyone! Momoyo Kawakami has arrived!" said the Goddess of War as many girls cheered for her.

"Wow! The most popular ladies and princesses all in one room! Including Momoyo Kawakami in her undies! I would never seize the day until now!" said Ikurou with the most perverted face ever as he snapped his camera at lightning-fast speed.

"They're exactly my type!" said Motohama and Matsuda.

"Wonderful!" said Ikurou. "This is too good to be true! I'll send all of these pictures to perverts everywhere, and make the best profit!"

"Co-ed schools are the best!" the boys said in happiness as they cried in delight.

** Down below the tree **

(Dayo's POV)

Alright. Party's over. Now, it's time for a world of pain.

I quickly climbed up to the top of the tree before noticing the twin-tailed girl, Kodama, and that little fire spirit watching me. We locked eyes at each other for a moment. At some point, the atmosphere's tense, but quickly subsided. I then turn to the 3 perverts who are about to be trashed.

"Yo! You three up there," I began to speak with an edge, as the Perverted Duo, and Ikurou all froze simultaneously and slowly turned around in fear, which only grew as they recognized the one that caught them red-handed was me, the new Intern Teacher, and the new enemy of all boys in Kuoh, which I crossed my arms and was scowling deeply. This, however, was not what scared them as a dark aura seemed to flow around me. Before they could jump down and run away, I asked them, "Question #1: What is behind that window? Yes! You with the bald head!"

Matsuda stammered as he looked left and right towards Motohama, and Ikurou, who were shaking uncontrollably. He had no choice but to tell the truth as he nervously stuttered, "Um... uh... this is the Examination for women; there are girls changing clothes behind there-"

"ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!" I roared as I threw a powerful kick at Matsuda's face, making him fall onto the ground unmoving and made Motohama, and Yonpachi jaw-dropped at my strength.

Even Kodama and the fire spirit were taken by surprise.

"D-Did you see that kick?!" asked the fire spirit.

"I sure did," said Kodama. "Azuki and I will be having a field trip if we try to fight him."

"Did you realize that he already beat you twice?" the fire spirit asked in which Kodama gave him a death glare.

"M-Matsuda!" Motohama called out.

"And you! The one with the brown hair! Answer me!" I roared at Ikurou which made him almost lose his balance, and quickly hid his camera behind him. "What were you doing on the top of this tree when you're supposed to have your examinations?"

"W-Well... w-we were spying at the girls that were changing-"

"You disgusting lechers!" I growled as I threw multiple punches on Ikurou's and Motohama's faces, and then destroyed Ikurou's camera, making them all fall down to the ground, screaming in pain as they gingerly held their face. The three looked up and trembled in fear as fire seemed to emit out from the back of me as well as a blue homographic Hannya Mask as I glared at them. "You guys remind me of some rapists I've killed, or maybe worse! I dare you to do that again! Or else you could kiss your balls goodbye! After this examination, 2 and ½ hours of detention!"

"KYAAAAAAAAAA!" the three of them comically hugged together in fear, not wanting to lose their family jewels before they instantly got up and ran away, not wanting to know who the rapists I've mentioned. "We're so sorry!"

As I watched them ran for their lives, I dusted myself as I sighed and started to walk away. "Man, I think I scared the crap out of them, yet I got a feeling this won't be the last time of its occurrence-"

"Oh, don't worry. It won't."

I then look at Kodama and the fire spirit who has seen everything. She had a smirk on her face.

"To think that someone like you would beat them up and scare them with such confidence. Not to mention that you've become an enemy of men in this school. I'm impressed, and I don't say that often," said Kodama.

"Well, thanks for the compliment," I replied back to her as Kodama began to walk away.

"Instructor Dominus?"

"Hm?" I heard my name called out. Before I could go any further, I turned around to see a group of girls from the Infirmary and there are also some teachers as well. They had heard the commotion outside their changing room, guessing the Perverted Duo were at it again. It was worse than they thought. Imagine their surprise as they came out to see them getting beaten up by a teacher, which of course, is strictly against the rules, but since this is Kawakami Academy, Minori told me that this would slide… I also noted that some of the girls and women were red in the face.

"Thank you very much for chasing them away," the girl with long brown hair tied in a ponytail by a red ribbon said with a sincere smile as she bowed slightly at me. "They have been peeping at us repeatedly and we had beat them up numerous times, yet they still come back. You have our gratitude."

"Ah, it's nothing," I shrugged as I waved it off. "Although I may get severely punished for this, seeing them disrespecting you girls by doing what they did just ticks me off, so I just put them in their place and gave some detention time. Well, I'll be going then," I finished as I gave them a small smile before I turned around and waved goodbye.

"Kyaaaaa! Not only he's hot, he's strong too!"

"Such a hunk!"

"We have to thank whoever send him here for us!"

"Hey hey, do you think he's still single?"

"A hot guy like that? No way! But if he is…Kyaaaaaaa!"

Among the girls were Rias, Akeno, Mio, and Momoyo. Mio blushed but didn't say anything. Rias and Akeno all felt my strong power and talked to each other, but for Momoyo, she had no doubt.

"I'm definitely going to fight him today."

** At the Kuoh Academy Infirmary **

(3rd-Person POV)

Now it was the boys turn to be checked, and for the three perverted boys who now became friends, they now have heavy bruises and almost had their bones crushed, but a sexy voice from Aki Nijou, the Kuoh Academy school nurse, soothes their nerves, as well as the rest of the boys….well, except for Tatsumi.

Aki is a dark-blue haired woman with the biggest breasts of all of the staff here (K-cup!), which perversely attracts all male students' attention and the envy of girls around her.

Her primary and common attire consists of her wearing a large white lab coat which she keeps open, since she is a school nurse of the academy. Under the lab coat she wears pink strapless top which is openly laced down the middle revealing a lot of her cleavage, along with a very short brown skirt. The aforementioned short skirt does have a tendency to ride up on her whenever she stretches or bends over, in which case she is typically seen wearing green panties.

Matching her slightly naive immodesty, she typically wears very revealing clothing, with her typical skirt being extremely short, usually riding up whenever she would stretch or bend over revealing her panties, and one of her swimsuits was a simple sling bikini which was thin enough to reveal her nipples. With her buxom bust and voluptuous body among all women in this Academy, she and Chisato are obviously two of the fantasy subjects to all the male figures in the academy. Well, almost everyone….

"Okay, push it inward. That's good. You must put in it more deeply."

Motohama, Matsuda and Ikurou were bleeding like crazy.

"Holy t*ts!" they whispered to each other.

"That's the school nurse in person, Ms. Nijou at 103-58-97!" said Motohama.

"No doubt! The biggest breasts of all of the women here! And from a teacher as well! Teachers are just as sexy as the girls!" said Matsuda.

"And the way she's talking right now is making our 'tents' raise!" said Ikurou while drooling.

"That was too quickly," said Aki. "You must put it in a little longer. Okay, put up your underpants. Next, please."

It was Tatsumi's turn, and he couldn't help but blush at Aki's beauty.

"How are you doing today?" Aki asked with a smile.

"G-Great…" Tatsumi nervously replied as he placed his inside a machine and asks, "Ummm, I was wondering what this thing measures."

"Well, this thing is used to measure your compatibility with Maken so as to create an 'Imitation' based on your specifications," answered Aki.

"I still don't know exactly what a Maken is," said Tatsumi.

Then the machine talked and in such a rude way, "Hurry up and push it in, a**hole!"

Tatsumi felt hurt, and from a machine. That's a new low in so many ways. He wanted to beat it so bad, but he takes no notice.

"Th-This thing is pretty lively," Tatsumi laughed.

The other boys looked around the curtain only to see Tatsumi put his hand inside the machine, in which the machine replied, "IDENTIFICATION ERROR! IDENTIFICATION ERROR! DAMN IT! I CAN'T FIND A SUITABLE MAKEN FOR THIS GUY!"

Aki is stunned. "What is the meaning of this? In the entire history of this school, this has never happened before."

As Aki tried to fix the machine, her huge breasts kept rubbing Tatsumi's torso, much to the dismay of the other boys.

"Why is he not taking advantage of this?!" asked Matsuda.

"That should've been us!" Ikurou and Motohama cried together.

** At Class 2-C **

"Why do I have a feeling that I want to punch Tatsumi so bad?" Mine asked to herself. Her other classmates, Izumi, Orihime, and Tatsuki took no notice.

** At Class 1-2-3-A **

Mio was getting crosser and crosser as the girls around kept talking about her brother. She was looking out the window as she looked at her classmates.

'What's with them, being so carefree…?' she thought before a memory of what happened last night at the baths, causing her face to heat up and her hand to come up to her chest.

She then saw Akame looking at the chalkboard with a stoic look on her face.

'What's with her? She's been looking at that board for the past 30 minutes while the others are even trying to get my brother's attention and phone number,' Mio grumbled, letting out a hmph before noticing Yuki, who was preparing to leave and glanced back at Mio with narrowed eyes.

'Don't involve yourself with Mio Naruse any further. And for that matter, don't involve yourself with the Angels, Fallen Angels, or Devils either.'

It was then that Akame and Yuki looked at each other for a few tense moments before she left the classroom. At the same time, Rias, Kita and Akeno were also glaring at Akame as well as Yuki who left before looking at Mio.

"Do you feel it, Buchou (Club President)?" asked Akeno.

"Yeah, she definitely has the powers of a Devil," Rias answered. "I'll go talk to her when we have the chance."

"Excuse me, Ms. Nonaka," said Dayo from the hall. "I got word from Mr. Sakizaki that you need to stay behind with them to organize the summer homework. Souna from the Student Council will also be helping you."

"I can do it myself. After all, this is my job as Class Representative," Yuki interjected. "There's no need for the Student Council President to help."

"Yo, Dale!" Minori called from down the hall. "I need you to come with me. There's something important I want to talk about it."

"Very well," he answered before looking back in the room and looked at Akame. "Akame, take Mio home. I'll be back a little late."

"Affirmative," Akame nodded in confirmation.

All the while, Mio sighed to herself, not knowing that the succubus mark around her neck began to show….

** At the Principal's Office **

(Dayo's POV)

I was now in the Principal's office in Kuoh Academy, and why, you ask? Because Minori wanted to see if I have a 'Maken'. And I've also met the man who created the machine to check if people have a Maken or not, Gen Tagayashi. He's a man who around 30 years of age and has spiky orange hair with a metal headband on top and wears a white shirt, black jacket, and tan pants.

Also, Tatsumi, Natsu, Justin, and Izumi from Class 2-C are here as well, but we're about to get even more company.

"Excuse us," said a voice before the doors open.

And to my surprise, there were Rias Gremory, Akeno Himejima, Inaho Kushiya and Haruko Amaya.

I closed my eyes as they all walked in, but my eyes were locked on Izumi Hyoudou as she has THAT Sacred Gear…

'The Boosted Gear…'

"I've heard that your machine…'Malfunctioned'," Rias began.

"Yes, I want to know what you mean when it's not possible to create a Maken for our new student Tatsumi here," said Haruko.

"Yes, it appears so," said Akeno.

"That's impossible," said Gen.

"A pity, but it's the truth," said Minori.

"Although this was made 10 years ago, the Element Detector Keronbo is still my best work ever!" complained Gen.

"You do realize that machines like these always have at least one bug, right?" I asked, with everyone's eyes on me. "Have you ever thought about prototyping?"

Minori smiled. "At least someone's actually using their brain, despite Aki saying that it was made from a pile of junk."

Gen responded, "A genius isn't picky over their materials."

"That's right!" Keronbo shouted. "I'm a genius creation! F*** yeah!"

"Apparently, you don't like the error of your ways," I said to Keronbo.

"What was that, you f*cktard!?" Keronbo asked in anger.

I gained a tick mark and glared at the machine who insulted me, not realizing that I raised my power a little bit.

Everyone in this room all felt that power, and it was Strong, and when I say Strong, I mean Strong with a capital S. They all looked at me and thought to themselves that this is someone not to be messed around with. Of course, this stubborn machine took no notice as I began to calm down.

"Though I am having trouble trying to understand why 3 people couldn't have their Element characteristics detected…" said Gen.

"3 people?" asked Haruko.

"They also told me that my Element could not be detected," said Inaho.

"Do I even to ask?" I asked.

"Well, that shouldn't matter because you already have a Maken," Minori answered. "But the real concern is why your Element could not be measured…."

Rias may have an answer to that. 'Maybe it's because…they might have a Sacred Gear…' she thought to herself.

Then Minori looked outside and saw a limousine. There was a butler handing luggage to a girl with 2 drill tails on her white hair tied in a red ribbon.

"That is also the other person that couldn't be measured. Making matters worse…" said Minori as the girl outside looked at Minori, but only for a moment.

I sighed and asked, "Is it really THAT much of a problem if you can't measure someone's so-called Element?"

Then Minori, Gen, Haruko, Rias and Akeno all came to me and answered…

[It's a Huge Problem!]

I sighed and scowled at them, but Natsu and Justin all helped me calm down again.

"My pride as a genius is on the lin-" was all Gen could say before he got shushed by Minori.

"Didn't I teach you that the Maken you use will greatly depend on the user?" asked Minori.

"I remember that," I answered. "But if you think that you will all try to find out if I have a Maken or not, or for that matter, Natsu and Justin here, you got another thing coming."

Minori responded back, "You do know that self-defense is the toughest, right?"

"Self-defense?" asked Justin.

Haruko answered, "In Kuoh Academy, there are duels here as people use their Maken or Elements to fight each other."

Inaho raised her hand and said, "I've heard that a fight can only occur if both parties agree. That means you'll be fine as long you don't accept the duel."

Hmmm. That seems fair and interesting enough.

"Alright! Duels and fighting! I like this school already!" Natsu said in excitement. "I fought a lot of guys before, but girls? As much as I find that interesting, I wouldn't fight any of them."

Minori came REALLY close to Natsu and said, "Natsu, the girls are much stronger than you think. There might be some others who use Maken outside of a duel, and when that happens, nobody will be out there to protect you."

"She's right," said Rias. "Akeno and I have seen them fight, and they are pretty strong."

"And so are we," Akeno agreed.

"But there are not as strong as Momoyo, that's for sure," I said, smirking a little bit. "This should be interesting. And while we're at it, Miss Gremory, I do realize that you live in that Old School building…"

Rias was surprised by this, but then suddenly, the door was knocked loudly before Mamoru came in and said, "Dale, you've got to go the Infirmary. Naruse has collapsed!"

I gasped as Natsu, Justin and I all got ready to leave, but before I do….

"Ah, by the way…" I said as I got a Flintlock Pistol and pointed at Keronbo and shot him while I was looking in the other direction.

BLAM!

"KERONBO!" shouted Gen as the machine is destroyed.

"Build a better machine, or I'll have someone do it for you, you numbskull!" I said at him before heading out the door.

As Gen cried about his machine, Minori, Rias, Haruko, and Akeno were stunned at what I did, and asked themselves…

"What are you really, Dale Dominus?"

** At the Infirmary **

I was sitting down near the bed where Mio was resting as I sighed in frustration and rubbed the temples on my head.

"A bit anemic. She has a slight fever, but she should be fine with a bit of rest," said Chisato after examining Mio. "You're the new Intern that everyone is talking about? How does it feel to make an enemy out of every man in Kuoh Academy on the first day you transferred in, playboy?"

"It's familiar territory that I rather get out of. I mean, first impressions are very important, but this is getting ridiculous. In fact, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth that I make more enemies that is absolutely unnecessary," I replied with my mind going through flashes of memories of people I met that I either got along, or simply destroyed them, no questions asked.

"If that's the case, you should build up allies," the nurse stated as if the problem was simple to solve.

"Already got a head start in that," I said. "However, Kuoh's going to be much harder than Kawakami, especially with Mio around."

"If you make enemies, increase your allies. And for both allies and enemies, it's not a matter of quantity; it's the quality. One can't weigh the odds of those 2. Don't misunderstand. Don't sacrifice one for the other when you're choosing allies," the nurse told me albeit mysteriously.

"I'll…keep that in mind," I said slowly as a sound rang through the school's PA system.

[Ms. Hasegawa, please report to the faculty office immediately.]

"Is it that time already?" she murmured as I detected a bit of resignation in her voice.

[Repeat. Ms. Hasegawa, please report to the faculty office immediately.]

"Shouldn't I go there, too?" I asked.

"That would be the case, but sometimes, not all teachers go to all meetings, but good observation though," she said as she tossed a pair of keys to me that she had in her coat pocket. "Lock up when you leave. You can return the key later."

"Thanks, Chisato," I replied as the nurse went to the door.

"Oh, and one more thing. Consider who your enemies and allies are when you act," Chisato said as she left the room. Then I noticed something on the floor.

Standing up, I went over and bent to pick a pure white feather. Frowning, I sniffed it to smell a familiar scent, and I knew what it was, and who she was working for.

"Well, well, well. Gabriel, you ditzy archangel. You sure are unpredictable and unbelievable at times," I mused and pocketed the feather just as Mio began to wake up.

Just as Mio opened, the succubus curse mark glowed around her neck, causing her to shiver and gasp erotically before spotting me and grabbed onto my wrist just as I got to examine her.

"Please…don't leave me alone," she whined with her pink eyes looking at my black ones anxiously.

"Don't worry. I'm right here," I assured her. "How are you feeling right now?"

"I think I've calmed down a bit," Mio muttered, lying back down with the back of her hand on her head.

"Good. So what floating thought of yours caused the curse to activate back in the classroom?" I asked dryly while folding my arms. "I'm not stupid, so don't even try to act like I am. The curse only activates when you think badly about me."

"I-I didn't…" Mio mumbled, turning away from me, not wanting to explain how her distress at thinking about the other girls talking about me activated the curse.

I sighed and said, "I'll call the others, so you can rest as long as you want."

"OK. Where's Maria, Natsu and Justin?" Mio acquired, wondering why my 2 bros weren't with me right now.

"I bet Maria's fooling around out in the town, probably at an arcade, and Natsu and Justin are joining the others in patrolling the area, but with more caution," I replied.

"Unbelievable! Playing games, fighting perverts, and being dragged by the Principal…All of you are like that," Mio complained with a cute pout.

"If you were us, you'd be errant too, but that's beside the point," I said as I was close to her face as she reeled back and blushed furiously.

I smiled at her being teased at before I made a serious face and said, "I'm going to join the others in patrolling the 2 schools since we'll be here for a while. I've warded the room with seals, so do not leave this room under any circumstances. Understood?"

"Y-Yes…onii-chan…"

** At the Streets **

(3rd-Person POV)

The sun was setting down again and the streetlights have begun to light up the streets as Izumi slowly walked her way towards her home, this time accompanied by Natsu and Justin as her 4 other friends once again went ahead without her.

For a moment, Izumi tried suggesting about visiting the same park that they probably saw in the dream where they died.

At first, Natsu tried denying it, since it might serve as a catalyst to their premonition if they go there, but Justin thought that it would give them some answers.

It didn't take long for them to reach to the park as the place was seemingly deserted as night fell and replaced the twilight sky in darkness.

It was also at this point that Izumi had a rather complicated change as her vision turned light red as the night seemed brighter than the day.

"Hey Natsu…" Izumi asked. "Don't you think that it's kinda brighter at night?"

Both Natsu and Justin were confused at Izumi's question as they shook their heads no.

"What are you saying? It's dark, alright… Can't you see it clearly in your own eyes?" Natsu asked back to Izumi.

But before Izumi could answer, a strong aura forced them to freeze on their bodies as they glanced around to see a mysterious hatted figure near the shadows as Izumi was left shocked and trembling at the same time just by looking at its masking presence.

"How unfortunate… It might just be my lucky day to meet you kind in such a place," the figure spoke before shifting his hat in a more proper place as he revealed himself from the shadows and the 3 people in a clear view. Izumi can't stop the shaking fear inside her body until the figure finally casts his glance toward her, causing her to leap away in a safe distance but Natsu and Justin, who also jumped clear, were shocked to find that she was able to jump that high in the first place.

"Oh, and you have 2 human companions right beside you…. I must say that it's really unlucky for you to be mixed in this, boys…" said the figure as he turned to both Natsu and Justin with a smirk, only for them to raise their guard in defense against him.

"What's he talking about?" Izumi whispered.

"The hell I know!" Natsu answered. "But I do know that we need to get out of here and get backup. That guy smells like trouble."

And with that, the 3 tried running away from the other direction, leaving the figure behind in a matter of seconds. But as they did, they began to see multiple black feathers falling out from the sky, prompting to look up only to see the figure from before flying above them and eventually landed right in front of them to cut their escape.

"This is why low-level creatures are so troublesome…" he continued to speak in an unusual way as he remains composed without even telling them of what's going on. "They run, they hide without even accepting the fact that they're never going to survive, no matter how fast they can get away from those higher to them."

"We don't know what you're talking about, so how about you tell us what's going on or we'll bust your face if we have to," Justin threatened.

The man laughed at Justin's antics. "I like your spirit, boy. But unfortunately, you two are the ones I'm targeting for, though I might just have to kill you 2 once I'm done with her."

He looked at Izumi until he lifted his hand and summoned a blade of light which somehow got them to remember about last night. Their eyes widened in shock as the man soon pointed the blade towards Izumi before thrusting it towards her without warning in blinding speeds.

"Look out!" Natsu tried to shout, but the reaction was too fast for Izumi to process as she was left to close her eyes from her imminent death.

SHUNK! CRACKLE!

The sound of piercing flesh boomed through their ears as Izumi was left to open her eyes and stared shockingly at Justin, who moved at lightning-fast speed to catch the blade, only for it to pierce his arm with blood gushing out from it as he suppressed the pain with all of his might as his body trembled in the process.

"Hoh, I'm impressed that a human like you would be able to withstand such pain…" the man mused. "If you were a demon, the damage would've inflicted too much for you to handle."

On the other hand, Natsu was simply shocked to find his brother being pierced in the arm as blood smeared onto his clothes while unable to gaze away from the serious wound he got from the man.

"Looks like that I don't sense of any of the presence of your master or comrades. You're not even trying to escape nor using a magic circle. That analysis must led me to refer you as a stray," said the man as the blade from Justin disappeared and reappeared back on the man's hand which only served as another shot for him to kill them.

Natsu was not going to let the man attack him again.

"For you trying to kill us for no reason…especially to my brother….you're going to pay for this, YOU BASTARD!" Natsu yelled as a large explosion of flames erupted from his body as the man was simply drawn back a few meters away from them as Izumi was left stunned at the sight before her.

Natsu was covered in flames, but that's not all. The flames seemed to have no effect on them as their clothes didn't burn away, despite being on close proximity to it and the outer surroundings being scorched by it.

What's even more strange is that Justin slowly began to stand up as he was able to manage himself up, despite having such a fatal wound to his arm, which by the way, was somehow gone and instantly closed the moment he stood and unleashed a barrage of sparks all over his body.

"Hmph, don't get so full of yourselves!" the man said as he tried to launch the same blade of light towards the 2, but Justin simply deflected it with a swipe of his bare hands that soon shocked both them and Izumi as it crashed from a distance far away.

"I-Impossible! How did you-"

"You tried to kill us, you bastard!" Natsu shouted in complete anger. "We don't know you're up to, but if you so much lay a finger on my family…we'll make sure to beat you up until you're not able to stand up!"

Then, Natsu's fist was flared in flames as the man was left to stare at him in fear.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" shouted Natsu as heavily punched the man through the face as he was sent tumbling away before instantly recovering with the help of his wings before feeling his cheek as it suffered a severe burn from the pinkette as he looked at them with frustration.

"A mere human….inflicting such an injury this much?! Unforgivable….UNFORGIVABLE!" the man shouted in rage as he summoned an even larger blade of light, with the full intent to kill.

Izumi still haven't sank all that is happening around her, but one thing is for certain; if they stay around here for too long, they might not luckily survive next time, despite Natsu and Justin protecting her from the black-winged man.

If only there's someone who would help them out of this situation.

'Someone, anyone! Please help us!' Izumi begged.

She got her answer when a black-red energy wave was shot out of nowhere, destroying the blade the man held as he was left surprised at the sudden ambush.

"Did you do that?" asked the man when he then sees a circle coming out of nowhere. "Guess not."

And coming out from the red circle are none other than…

"Don't lay a finger on those boys."

Rias and Kita Gremory.

"Senior Rias? Senior Kita?" Izumi spoke in realization.

"Who the hell are you?!" the man demanded for answer as he tried to launch another spear of light towards them….

PUNCH!

…only to be deflected by another person who came landing right in front of the Gremory sisters. It was the short white-haired girl and the mascot of the Academy and one of Rias' servants…

"Koneko Toujou?!"

"Damn you!" the man yelled as he tries to rush them and assault them one more time…

ZAP!

…until a giant bolt of lightning struck past before him, sending him flying as the lightning generated an explosion as another person revealed herself to the group in which Justin and Natsu easily recognizes.

"Senior Akeno?"

The blast blew the man away before easily recovering, though was easily caught off-guard as Justin didn't waste any more time to lose focus and came dashing through the dust before grabbing his face with his hand generating a lot of sparks as Rias, Kita and the others were left shocked at the sight.

"Lightning Dragon God's Demolition Fist!" Justin shouted as he punched the man with his right fist, shocking him in the process, surprising Akeno especially, as the man was sent tumbling to the ground before slowly getting up on his feet as he received a glare from the man who had his face injured from that attack just now.

"This is the second time you hit me, HUMAN-"

"Are you still planning on fighting?" Rias interrupted him, prompting all of them to stop fighting as the Fallen Angel recomposed himself before beginning to recognize the 2 girls with the crimson hair.

"I see….You 2 must be from the Gremory family," he guessed as a smile crept its way on Rias' lips before moving unto a gesture to greet the man.

"I'm Rias Gremory, and beside is my sister Kita Gremory. How are you tonight, Fallen Angel?"

"Fallen Angel?!" Izumi spoke in shock.

"Hoh, how interesting… Who would've thought that this place, which is well-known for some of the strongest Martial Artists, would be under your observance. It seems like we were mistaken," he replied before looking back to Izumi with a curious look. "And I assume that she is from your household?"

"Yes, and we will show no mercy to anyone who tries to mess with her," Kita warned.

"And those 2 human boys over there did quite the punishment. Who knew that a human would be capable of fighting Fallen Angels on their own? Well, I apologize for it. I mistook them as Stray Demons, but don't let your servants run free alone in this time of night, because the next time I find them again, I won't be so lenient."

"We thank you for the advice, but let us give you a warning in return: Should you do something like this again to them, we won't be so lenient…" Rias replied as Izumi, Natsu and Justin saw the killing intent right in their eyes as the man simply lowered his hat in acceptance of the advice before flying up somewhere before disappearing.

"I'll keep that in mind. I'm Dohnaseek… I pray that we never face each other again…" And as soon as he said that, the barrier around them disappeared as the 3 sighed in relief, seeing that this battle is over, though they had a lot of questions to ask.

"Waaah. Glad that's over!" Natsu landed on his back until Justin helped him up before turning their attention to the four females of the same school with caution. A moment of silence went on for a moment on both sides until Rias began to speak for themselves.

"Good evening, Izumi, Natsu, and Justin."

"Umm... I know all the greetings and such but... ... ... can you tell us what's going on?" Natsu asked.

Rias was about to answer when a bat came out of nowhere and whispered something quick in her ear.

"There are Stray Devils in the school area? And they're all after Mio?" Rias asked her bat in shock, which made Natsu and Justin gasp.

"Mio!" they said as they quickly headed for the school.

** At the Hallway at Kuoh Academy **

(Dayo's POV; Moments before the Stray Devil attack)

"Looks like we'll be here a little longer, but well be leaving in under half an hour," I said to Leone on the phone while getting a drink from a vending machine.

[Got it. Esdeath and Boss are heading to the Familiar Forest with Tiamat to her castle, and Maria's still out and about. I've contacted her, and she said that she's hunting demons and Strays as well…for Mio's sake.]

"There's nothing wrong with that. How's things on your end, Leone?"

[Miya, Suì-Feng and I didn't encounter any of them, so we're on our way over. Don't worry about Kusano. She's here with the Kazama family. Also, there are more Fallen Angels around here, so be careful.]

"Got it, Leone," I replied as I finished the call, only to hear footsteps behind me, only to see that it was Yahiro. "Oh, it's just you, Mr. Takigawa. Didn't go home yet?"

"Don't look like you've seen a monster," Yahiro groaned exasperatedly as he went towards me. "By the way, how's Naruse doing?"

"Well, she hanging in there," I replied as I drank some water while Yahior leaned onto one of the vending machnes.

"I was surprised when she suddenly collapsed. Her face was bright red, and she seemed awfully embarrassed," said Yahiro and grinned as if he was trying not to laugh.

It was from there I had to stop myself from slapping him hard from a facepalm. 'With that look, and that sentence, he just gave himself away! If I didn't figure him out when we first met, I definitely would have now! Thanks to Chelsea, I now know who we're dealing with!' "Anyways, I owe you one."

After receiving a bottle of water from me, Yahiro asked, "Speaking of that, have you seen Nonaka?"

"Yuki? No, why?" I inquired, feeling a little bit worried.

"That's strange. She left, saying she was going to check up on you two."

And as he opened his bottled drink, I quickly realized what Yuki said earlier. 'Oh, freakin' L! The wards repel anything that is supernatural, not humans! I better head back…'

CLANG!

Suddenly, the lights went out.

"Whoa, a blackout?!" Yahiro shouted in surprise.

I then sniffed with my nose and looked to my right to see 3 cloaked demons coming from outside and heading towards us.

** At the Kuoh Academy Infirmary **

(3rd-Person POV)

Mio was resting quietly on the bed until a shadow loomed over her, with her demonic sense that sometimes act as a 6th sense prodded her awake.

"Hm? Dayo?" Mio whispered as she woke up, hoping to see him, only to feel a hostile presence and was greeted by the last person she wanted to see. "Yuki…Nonaka?!"

"I need to talk to you."

** At the Hallway **

(Dayo's POV)

Yahiro dropped his water bottle, looking terrified. "Wh-What's going on? Hey, Professor Dom-"

WHAM!

I knocked him out with a quick right elbow as I looked to the 3 Stray Demons, all wolf-like. "It's go time."

My right arm was now covered in darkness as I simply flicked my right finger in the air towards the demons as they disintegrated into nothingness.

Then I quickly teleported to the Infirmary…

** At the Infirmary **

…only to see no one here!

"Mio!" I said before sniffing in the air to smell another familiar scent that me tense before shaking my head in anger.

"Damn it, Yuki!" I said as I left the office to search for them as I used the Master-Servant Contract to pinpoint where they are. "Why are they at the Rooftop?!"

** At the Rooftop **

(3rd-Person POV)

Mio stood across from Yuki, who was near the edge and looking out into the city.

"What do you mean by 'talk'?" Mio asked with strained politeness, only to end this quickly before Dayo discovered her gone from the room.

"You should have heard from him. You know why I'm at this school," Yuki stated point-blank, with her hair shadowing her eyes eerily.

"Yes, I've heard," Mio confirmed, tensing up, but hiding it perfectly.

Her guts told her that this conversation was going to end up ugly as she secretly began to build up magic within her.

"With you around, there's a good chance that we will all suffer. So…leave him immediately," Yuki requested, with her hand generating spirit energy.

** Around Town **

"Where the hell are they coming from?!" Izumi shrieked as Natsu threw fireballs and Justin threw lightning orbs towards a horde of demonic minions that appeared out of nowhere as they Rias, Kita, Akeno, Koneko, and Yumi Kiba, who joined them not too long ago, all headed towards the school.

Then, along came the Night Raid members of Tatsumi, Mine, Lubbock, Benitsubasa, Sheele, Suì-Feng, Chelsea, and Leone as they all made their attacks on the demons.

"I don't know, but it looks like we may get our answer at the school," Rias said as she and the others all saw a barrier surrounding Kuoh Academy….

** At Kuki Corporation **

…which caught the attention of Ageha Kuki, who was working on papers, thanks to their satellite.

"What the?!" Ageha gasped as she looked at her TV screen and decided to do something about it.

** At the Rooftop **

(Dayo's POV)

"Not gonna happen!" Mio answered, causing Yuki's spirit energy to form around her, but the redhead refused to back down an itch. "Even after learning the whole truth, and the 3 Factions itself, and his family, he said he would protect me. Because we're family."

At that last part, she made a smile with a hint of red on her cheeks. "I don't want to waste even one bit of their feelings!"

"I see," Yuki said quietly as she quickly turns to face as she summons her Spirit Sword: Sakuya, along with armored gauntlets and unleashed a tornado of wind.

Mio saw it coming and erected a shield to block the hostile gale of wind.

"So, you're resorting to force in the end? In that case… I won't show mercy, either," said Mio as she enveloped her crimson aura and attacks with her own tornado wind, but Yuki pointed Sakuya outwards and slices it through, dispelling it.

"You're only taking advantage of that man's kindness. His family is extremely dangerous," Yuki retorted as she struck back with a green wave of energy, forcing Mio to erect her shield to block, but had difficulty doing so due to the power behind the attack and was getting pushed back.

"And what about you? You're ignoring his own will, and even threatened to kill him yourself!" Mio replied back as she once again fired a wind tornado that was stronger than the first, making Yuki use her speed to avoid it. "I'm not going to make anymore excuses. In fact, I'm not regretting my actions either!"

Yuki attempts to slice through the attack, but Mio presses on. "If I apologized after getting him and the others involved, it would be rude to him! So I'll fight fair and square. Together with him and his family!"

Yuki was cross with Mio's accusation, and sliced through the tornado attacks with ease and countered with a wind-style Kentasu attack that eliminates Mio's barrier, much to her shock.

"If you say such things like that again, I'll never forgive you," Yuki snarled at the redhead, masking her hurt with rage as her green aura enveloped her body. "If you knew his family and his history, then you couldn't say such things!"

"What do you mean?" Mio asked, confused.

"His family is known to be the most dangerous and powerful family in the world! And now that I think about it, it's likely for him, the only son, to even hold a sword in his hand."

"W-What are you talking about?"

"5 years ago, his mother, Ophis, created a terrorist organization known as The Khaos Brigade, and she is the leader of that group. Her comrades eliminated many of our companions from this world because of the death of her husband, Gilgamesh!"

That caught Mio off-guard as she gasped.

"That man doesn't know it, but one of his aunts, Izanami-no-Mikoto, was revived by his mother, and was the main cause of the deaths of our companions. He doesn't know it yet, but once he does, there's a good chance that he'll awaken his powers, and when that happens, I'll gladly eliminate him, as he is an Elimination Target! And I'll make sure that your powers don't awaken either!" Yuki screamed at the stunned successor of Lucifer as she charged at Mio to finish her off.

But before Yuki could get into striking distance, a sword suddenly came out of nowhere and forced Yuki back. The girls watched as a snake came out of the ground and grabbed the sword as it made towards me as I appeared. And the air around them grew cold as they looked at me with a black miasma that was radiating off.

"Well, would you look at that. It seems that I have no problem wielding my swords!" I said in a cold voice as I held the magic sword Moralltach. It has the power to kill anything with one simple cut - although the death does come slowly over a brief period of time. "And boy, do you have some nerve, Yuki. Last time I checked, you're supposed to be an observer."

Yuki turned away to avoid the cold gaze I'm giving her before I turned to Mio. "And you, what was the one thing I told you before I left the nurse's office?"

"I-I'm…" Mio tried to answer, obviously ashamed of herself.

"Answer me!" I commanded as the air grew colder and made Mio jump in fright.

The girls here haven't seen me this angry. But that's nothing compared to my mother and aunts.

"…To not leave the room under any circumstances," Mio replied quietly, looking down to the ground.

"So you have remembered," I said in mock surprise with sarcasm. "Now what has compelled you to walk out with Yuki? What were you doing out here with her?"

"They were talking about your family with the Infinity Clan. Up until now, that is," said a new voice. "Can I say that all the players have gathered, I wonder?"

We turned to the top of the roof of the stairwell, where the mystery masked man stood. However, I can already tell who he is based on the aura he has.

"When did he…" Mio asked, frightened that she couldn't sense him and wondered how long he's been watching and listening while I scowled.

The barrier around here was preventing time-space techniques.

"First, you and your family were all a bunch of ruthless powerful beings that makes anyone scared for their lives. Even Gods themselves. But now, you're the bodyguard of the previous Demon Lord? What an awfully intriguing tale," said the masked man in a praising tone as if mocking me.

"Nobody asked you," I replied flatly before turning serious. "And I believe that you're the representative of the 'Demon Lord' who's after Mio, and the one who sent those earlier demons and in charge of the Stray Devils that's attacking my team to distract them."

"What demons?" Mio questioned.

"Oh, the same ones that are after you! What did you expect?"

"Indeed," the masked man answered, putting in his 2 cents. "It's pointless worrying about it now. In the past few days, he and his team all fought countless demons. The Fallen Angels may or may not have anything to do with this, but I do know that they are after her too."

"Huh?" asked Mio.

"Every night. Until dawn," the masked man nodded.

'Note to self, order the game,' I thought as I thought about the Until Dawn game.

"What does he mean, Dayo?" Mio asked me as I looked at her with a deadpan stare.

"What are you getting so worked up about? It's not exactly a secret," I deadpanned, since I told Mio that we took out those Demons and Stray Devils.

"Just tell me!" Mio demanded as the masked man answered.

"It was for your sake. The power you've inherited from the previous Demon Lord. Not only that, but you also wield a very special Sacred Gear that has attracted the 3 Factions. And right now, most low-level, Stray Demons and Devils are heading towards you. If those were beginning to harm humans, like those Megalos, then the Hero Tribe would deem you as a threat, going from observation…to elimination. Once that happens, you wouldn't be allowed to live, and the same will go for the Dragon behind you. That's why that woman told you to leave him alone. He's already troubling enough, and he and his team and that succubus of yours have all been hunting stray demons day and night to prevent that from happening. And now that the Fallen Angels are here, things are getting even harder for you to avoid."

Mio looked slowly at me. "…Is that all true? Maria stopped meeting us after school was beca- Huh?"

"Wh-What? Then did he?" the masked man asked in bewilderment as he and the girls all looked me…sleeping while standing.

"He's bored," Yuki stated as she poked the snot-bubble, popping it as I woke up.

"Is that all?" I groaned. "I've already know all of this, so why repeat yourself? Anyways, Mio, it's not your-"

"It IS your fault, Mio Naruse Lucifer! It's amazing that the 5 Great Satans don't know your existence yet!" the masked man said as I grew crosser and crosser.

"Hey, no asked you to talk!" I snarled before turning to Mio. "He's trying to break you mentally. I've seen this all too often, and it gets old pretty fast, and it never ends well. Don't let him get to you."

Thank you, battle experience.

"And leaving her the way she is any better? Then again, you prefer to have her attract demons just to keep yourself active?" the masked man asked as I facepalmed.

"That's just borderline desperation right there," I deadpanned as we were getting nowhere.

"Oh? If I was desperate, would I do this?"

As the masked man said this, Mio's shadow grew until it became a shadow demon with a scythe, looking to cleave her head off.

"Heads up!" I yelled as I charged towards Mio.

"Are you planning to erase her this time?" the masked man asked, grinning under his mask as he knew that the shadow demon was connected to Mio.

Any damage it took, Mio would receive, in a way to drive her into despair, but he was taken aback at what happened.

I used Moralltach to slice the ground to disconnect the shadow demon before I grabbed the demon and absorbed into my own body using the powers of the Darkness.

"I'm impressed. I thought that you would have no choice but to cleave through Mio to get to my minion, but I was wrong," said the masked man as he tried a new tactic.

Then suddenly…

"Lightning Dragon's Secret Art: Lightning Tornado!"

A huge tornado made out of lightning shatters the barrier, and then a blast of red wave energy came towards the man as he jumps clear.

"Hmph. You're late," I said as Natsu, Justin, Rias and her Peerage arrive, along with the Night Raid members.

"Well, it's better late than never," Natsu replied.

"And it looks like you had quite a bit of excitement," said Justin.

"It's just another day at the office," I shrugged, but Rias had a serious look on her face as she said to the masked man, "You got some nerve attacking our territory."

"Oh? What's this? The Gremory family arrives, along with the man's team," the masked man chuckled in amusement. "My, my, aren't you scary."

Then, another group of strays appeared in front of the masked man as it charges towards us.

"Stupid Strays…" Koneko grumbled in annoyance as she grabbed a large vending machine and threw it at the beasts, crushing them.

Then Rias and Kita raised their arms and threw blasts of energy at the man but the remaining beasts jumped in front of him, protecting him.

"You need to work on your aim, Princesses."

Kita smirked and retorted. "Oh? Maybe you should know what a distraction is."

"Hm?" the man mumbled before he heard…

"Maken: Hawk!"

Out of nowhere, a tall redhead with a bandage on her nose struck the man with a powerful punch and kick.

WHAM! BAM!

"Gah!" he howled as he was sent tumbling.

"Looks like we arrived, and just in time," said Haruko as she, Azuki who made the punch, Kodama, Inaho, Furan, Uruchi, and 3 other girls arrived on the other side.

One of the new girls is a girl with a petite body and has short black hair that reaches to her chin with a bang covering her left purple eye. She has an extreme passion for Manga. Her name is Kimi Sato.

The second one is a tan white-haired girl. She happens to be a foreign student outside Japan and is also one of the members of Maken-Ki. She is well-known for her H-cup breasts, her enthusiasm and carefree personality, and is very strong. Her name is Chacha Akaza.

The last one is a purple haired girl and has D-cup breasts and appears to be carefree, but sometimes, she can be cunning. She's the younger sister of Tomika Amado, Yuuka Amado.

Then Yumi swung her arms, causing two swords to burst from the ground into her hands and rushed at the masked man.

The man growled and then jumped away from the attack. "You certainly have a skilled group, Princesses of Gremory," he commented towards Rias. "Very skilled. Although I'm wondering if you're allied with them or not."

"Maybe, maybe not," Rias said straightforwardly as Natsu went in for an attack.

"Fire Dragon's Claw!" he yelled as he made a barrage of strong kicks towards the masked man, but he dodged them all before looking at Izumi.

'So that's the one who has THAT Sacred Gear,' he thought and quickly disappeared….

….before appearing behind Izumi and fired a blast of energy at her at point-blank range.

BAM!

"Izumi!" Yumi, Akeno, Rias and Kita shouted in shock as they all went to Izumi and saw that her upper body was hit pretty badly.

We were all shocked that the man was able to catch everyone off-guard by attacking Izumi as he reappeared at the top of the roof and said, "You better treat your servant with more caution and awareness."

Rias and Kita did not like this at all.

"You'll pay for this for trying to hurt my servants!" Rias shouted as she blasted another red energy wave towards the man, but once again, he steers clear. "You see? Your family is known for having the emotions get the better of them! And you, Naruse! Look at one of your friends! This is what you get when other people are involved!"

"You BASTARD!" both Natsu and Tatsumi, in his Incursio armor, yelled as they try attack the man one more time, but this time, the masked man vanished and made his escape before they could even land another hit on him.

I growled as the man successfully made his escape as Mio, Rias and the others all went to Izumi.

"Izumi!" Akeno shouted. "Are you okay?!"

Izumi tried to respond, but instead coughed blood onto the ground.

"Th-That can't be good!" said Inaho.

Rias sighed and walked towards us with her arms folded. "So, any idea who that man was?"

"No idea…" Mio mumbled weakly.

"I can guess what he wanted though," Yuki interjected.

"And what might that be?" Furan questioned.

I sighed in frustration. "I'm pretty sure you know already. In fact, all was going well until you showed up. But then again, you didn't know the full details."

Kita sighed and added, "So be it. Anyways, why not we all head to the clubroom to regroup?"

"Sounds like a good idea," Haruko answered.

"S-Sure…" Mio answered weakly.

Then, I noticed something else. "Wait a minute. Where's Akame?"

Akeno flinched at that name. Unfortunately, we were not fast enough as a helicopter flew above the school.

** Around Town **

(3rd-Person POV)

Akame unfortunately bumped into a very angry Raynare as they clashed each other with Light Spears not too long ago as she stared her down with her face as calm as ever.

"I never imagined meeting you at a time like this," Akame started.

Raynare, completely enraged, seethed back, "You turned the others against me! Kalawarner dared to say what we were doing was wrong! Because of you!"

Akame didn't respond as Raynare formed another light spear in her hand. "Now, that damn priest girl is on her way to the Grigori and the Sacred Gear wielder is already in the hands of that Gremory princess!"

"It's over, Raynare," Akame stated. "Give up and return to the Grigori. Nothing has been done, and your punishment will not be severe."

Raynare roared as she reared back with her light spear, only to stop as an ominous presence formed behind her. Raynare turned with wide eyes as a man stood behind her, hand on her light spear. He was a fairly tall man appearing to be in his 20s with an average build, black hair, golden bangs and black goatee. He wore a maroon-open V-neck trench coat buckled together around his waist over a pair of blue pants.

"Now, now, put that down before you get hurt, Raynare," he spoke. "Really, if Kalawarner hadn't contacted me sooner, I might not have gotten here in time, and you'd be dead by now."

"L-Lord Azazel," Raynare muttered, instantly falling to one knee before him. Akame glanced at the leader of the Fallen Angels as he spoke to the assassin.

"Akame, Baraqiel really isn't taking the news of you leaving us so well. To think you would have a group of this power already, and protecting the successor to the Great Satan Lucifer… you are really someone who is very resourceful. I really have no idea how he is going to deliver the news to Kurome when she gets back from her mission."

Akame's eyes widened at the mention of her youngest sister. To her, Kurome was a touchy subject; Akeno, a very close 2nd.

"But perhaps, we can come to an agreement here?" Azazel continued as he scratched the back of his head.

"What are you talking about, Azazel?" Akame questioned.

"You really have done me a solid job here bringing Raynare's little reign of rebellion to its end, and with no casualties to the Grigori. I don't know what made you want to leave, Akame. For love, adventure, freedom, I don't know, and I won't stop you from leaving, but do think for a moment," he said as Akame narrowed her eyes as she was expecting his next words to be a threat. "What will you do now? You've been one of the best assets to the Grigori for many years since you joined us after the death of your mother so long ago."

Akame winced as she rose a hand to her head as the memories of Shuri's death floods her mind, causing tears to well up before forcing herself to calm down.

"In this time you've been with us, not once have you taken a vacation."

"I'm saying take your time to think your decision over," Azazel told her as he walked forward past Raynare who hasn't moved from her kneeling position. "Formally, I can't say anything since nothing is official and I wouldn't want things getting out of hand and to the wrong people, but I believe good things are coming to the 3 Factions soon enough, and all this fighting might just cease to exist."

"You're talking about an alliance between the 3 Factions?" Akame questioned. "That'll never happen."

"Who knows?" Azazel shrugged. "Maybe it will, maybe it won't. Your vacation could last a hell a lot longer than originally planned for."

"What do you want in return?" Akame questioned.

"Since Izumi Hyoudou is already in the hands of the Devils, I want Mio Naruse," Azazel stated. "She's going to become the successor of Lucifer. However, since the son of the Infinity Clan is here with her, I suggest that you keep an eye on them, as well as Izumi, because soon, I have a feeling that the Dragons are going to fly soon."

"What do you want with them?"

"Nothing," Azazel smiled. "I simply have a hobby in collecting Sacred Gears, and it is said that Mio's Sacred Gear has a Dragon that once belonged to the Angels, and it was the only Dragon to side with the Angels. And now that it's in her, I want to see it for myself. If there was an interesting Sacred Gear that's more interesting any others I've researched so far, it's definitely Mio's."

He turned around and placed a hand on Raynare's shoulder. "I'll see you real soon."

They disappeared as Akame somehow got a bad feeling that something BIG was going to happen very soon, so she quickly flew to school to warn Dayo and the others.

** In the Underworld **

Sirzechs Lucifer was sitting in his throne, going through many stacks of paperwork, sighing from how much there was. Suddenly, one of the guards bursts in, panting.

"Lord Sirzechs! News from Earth…" he panted heavily.

With some news, he smiled as he put away his paperwork for now, glad to hear some good news for once. "What is it?" he asked.

"The one from the Infinity Clan you spoke of. He's with your sisters right now, along with Mio Naruse," he said. "Right now, he saved her from a lot of Stray Devils and Demons that are coming after her. Should we keep a close eye on them?"

"If my darling little sisters are with them right now, then we have nothing to worry about. They'll send me reports of what's going on. Oh, and make sure that she doesn't ask him to join her peerage. That'll send us to war very quickly. You're dismissed," Sirzechs with a smile.

** At a Mysterious Area **

Many Fallen Angels chat or planned some attacks, and on one throne sat a mysterious man with 10 black wings behind his back. He just got a report from one of the Fallen Angels who spied on Mio and the others.

The man smiled, "Yes… That's our Big Target, Mio Naruse Lucifer, who not only holds the power of the previous Demon Lord, but has THOSE powers as well. And the Darkness wielder is with her. Excellent. I must have them all! It will be very crucial to my plans. And one where I can finally smite those weak fools!"

He laughed out loud in glee before turning towards the mass of Fallen Angel followers. He set his sights on two as he mentioned them to his throne. One was a very attractive girl with short neon green hair, while the other looked like her, but with orange hair instead.

"You two will track them down. Use your skills and bring them to me," he commanded as the 2 Fallen Angels disappear into a flash of black light and feathers.


To Be Continued…

ED Song: Bad by Michael Jackson (Launch Base Zone remix)


On the next episode…

With the help of Chisato's advice, the Occult Research Club, the Student Council and the Maken-Ki all join forces with the Night Raid team as they also try to protect Mio Naruse for different reasons. This was also an opportunity for Mio and Izumi to learn about Sacred Gears and Maken and Elements, as well as the current situation with the 3 Factions and the confrontation between Akeno and Akame Himejima.

In the midst of it all, however, after what happened to Izumi, Mio decides to turn herself in to the masked man, despite having such protection. Of course, the others will have none of it as they attack the masked man, and in the midst of it, Mio's powers spiral out of control.

And later, both Dayo and Natsu get caught in the middle of a fight between Azuki Shinatsu and freshman Kai Kuragasa in which Kodama Himegami forces Natsu to join the fight against his will, while Momoyo asks Dayo to battle, which will change the way the 2 schools view both them and Justin forever.

Then, after going through her first assignment, which involves an otaku, Izumi encounters (yet) another Fallen Angel who is Raynare's older sister, Reynelle, while Mio encounters 2 other Fallen Angels in the process, but this time, Izumi's Sacred Gear transforms into an armored Dragon Arm while her 3 friends, the Angeloids, come in and save the 2.

Finally, after joining the 2 clubs and the Student Council at the Hot Springs at Mount Amanohara, Izumi, Natsu and Justin all encounter a nun named Asia Argento and escorts them to the Church, not knowing that the Fallen Angels reside there and lay out their plans.

Of course, the Kazama Family does not know any of this, but thanks to the helicopter from the Kuki Corporation, they will find out eventually and will have a say in this, as well as some of the other students in Dayo's class. Why?

Because All's Fair in Love & War! Seriously!


And we are done with Episode 4 as the Fallen Angel Arc is underway. And like I said, one of the many surprising events in 2016 was the Olympics! Not only the Sweden Women's Soccer team not only defeated U.S. in their first-ever shootout, but also against Brazil in the same thing! What more do they have left?! And even China's women team in Volleyball beat Brazil! All in one day!

Oh, and with Raynare and her cohorts caught by Azazel, you may think that Asia Argento, who will be introduced in the next episode, will be safe and sound, right? Well, you'd be wrong. There are more Fallen Angels to deal with, and an even bigger mission than just saving Asia; Hint, hint, hint!

And a few more things; the pasts with Akeno, Koneko, and Yumi will alter a little bit because of the plot I'm planning, so be on the lookout for that. And also be on the lookout for more of Dayo's class getting involved as the story progresses. I'm going to make it slow and steady to ease things a little. I've already planned for Seasons 2 and 3, but of course, we have to go through this Season.

And to those of you who don't know The Darkness, look it up on your search engine, and don't spoil it if you know. Plus, a hint about Mio's power: It has something to do with The Demon King in the Backseat anime.

Now, as we wrap up 2016, all I got to say is may God Bless our Souls for the next 4 years, because we are SO going to need it.

Also, may God Bless Alan Thicke, for we lost him too soon at the age of 69 while he was playing hockey with his son. Carter must still feel traumatized after that. And, bless the people in Turkey for the Assassination of its Ambassador and 12 other people who were just days away from celebrating Christmas. I can tell that we're going to need a LOT of help, because Trump will certainly not give us any. A lot of famous people lost during this year, from Prince, to Gene Wilder, to Muhammad Ali, to David Bowie, and even my Grandpa…

In any event, from me, I wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year! With all that said, read and review, and no flames! Flames will be ignored!
