Chapter 7: Rivels meet and Otto?!
Meanwhile at the Hyoudou Residence, Serafall was with Issei in his room, holding the boy's head in between her breasts. He was able to breathe though as she had pulled him in from behind.
"Serafall, Ise-kun! Dinners ready" Asia yelled, making Serafall release Issei.
Serafall and Issei both went downstairs to the kitchen and saw that Asia had been true. A delicious meal of Gyutan Stew was ready to be eaten.
"Gyutan, also known as Cow Tongue, is currently a typical meat dish here in Japan." Issei spoke to Serafall.
"Oh I see." Serafall smirks and when they all sit down Serafall fed Issei making the other girls realize then started taking turns to feed Issei.
After about twenty minutes, Issei and the others were feeling full and said, "That was wonderful, everyone."
"Where did Gyutan originate?" Rias asked.
"It was originally created back in 1948 in the city of Sendai. It has since spread from there to all over Japan. Kuoh Town even has its own family-run Yakiniku restaurant where Gyutan can be ordered." Issei answered.
(believe me it's freaking delicious)
"Yea, also I wonder where Snappy is? Sky did ask us to watch him." Akeno said not seeing Snappy.
"Uh oh." Koneko said.
A magic circle appeared and then Sona's voice was heard saying, "Snappy came to me and Sky. Apparently, most of the Kendo Club plus Aika Kiryuu decided to come after him and Snappy scared them off by showing up in his normal Deathclaw form."
"Only most of them were there? Who has not been there?" Issei asked.
"Murayama was absent. According to Katase, she is starting to develop feelings for you, Hyoudou-kun."
"Say what?" Issei asked.
"I guess after not being around while we were in the Wasteland must have made her develop feelings for you Issei." Irina said.
"There also might have been some stuff happening here that we didn't know about while in the Wasteland. Mom and Dad both mentioned that Murayama came by for Dinner a couple of times while we were gone, but wouldn't say anything more than that." Asia replied.
While everyone was thinking the Phenex magic circle appeared revealing Riser and His Queen. "Hey Riser." Sky said, earning a smile from him.
"Hello everyone and Sky how is Ravel doing?" Riser asked.
"Good and Ravel is doing good as well." Sky said, making Ravel kiss his cheek.
"Big brother, why are you here?" Ravel asked, making him frown.
"Our Family...thinks Sky...should be..." Riser tried to say before his Queen finished for him.
"Lord Phenex wants Sky to live in the Underworld. Ruval just talked them down and insisted that Sky should at least finish college in the human world with his girlfriends before moving to the Underworld." Yubelluna stated.
"Why? I'm fine up here. Along with the Others." Sky asked.
"Ruval is the oldest of my siblings. In fact, he is the heir to the Phenex clan. As for you living in the Underworld, the nobles are paranoid about the Akashiya clan being lost once more." Ravel said before Sky could ask about him.
"But, I know I come from a powerful family. It doesn't mean I can do what nobles do, I just want to be with you and Sona." Sky said, making everyone understand why he said that because he was raised in the Wasteland for half his life.
"True. Nobles are often an unreasonable bunch. I generally don't like interacting with them despite being one myself." Rias said.
"Well guess I can't do anything about it now." Sky said going to use the bathroom depressed.
"Oh man...I don't think Sky is gonna be fine..." Issei stated going to comfort his friend.
"I was thinking the same thing, but you beat me to it." Akeno spoke.
"What should we do? I'm scared of what happens if Sky doesn't go to the Underworld after college..." Gasper said.
"It's probably just the Phenex Clan spewing some hot air. They must want to see him for themselves." Tsubaki replied.
"I believe that makes sense because the power Sky's family has, they might fear him because of that." Sona said.
"Would they try anything if you and Ravel accompanied him, Sona-kaichou?" Tsubaki asked.
"I don't know yet." Sona answered.
While everyone was talking about the situation there was a loud explosion from the bathroom.
Asia went to check it out and found both Issei and Sky wounded. She immediately started healing their injuries with Twilight Healing.
"Well, well my Rival where have you been? And who is this and why do I feel a stronger magic from them?" The figure ask.
"Who the fuck are you?" Ravel angrily asked.
"Oh no...Vali." Issei said
"Yea, I am Vali, this generation's White Dragon Emperor, and who are you?" Vali asked Sky.
"Sky... Why are you here?" Sky asked Vali.
"I have been looking for my Rival for quite some time, because of destiny." Vali answered.
"Destiny, schmestiny. You're just bored." a young feminine voice said before a blonde girl wearing a magician's robe riding a broom arrived.
"Just leave Vali I don't have time for this." Issei said making Vali shocked.
"What?" Vali asked.
"You heard the Sekiryuutei, boyo. He doesn't have the time to play around with some stupid rivalry." the magician girl answered.
Vali just ignored her. "You must fight me Hyoudou! If you don't i'll kill eve-" Vali was interrupted by Sky punching him and sending him flying.
"Shut...Your...Fucking Mouth." Sky said in a stern tone.
The magician girl looked at Sky and then presumed, "Hmm... I think I heard your family name somewhere... Akashiya, is it?"
"Yea, who the hell are you?" Sky asked, making her giggle.
"I am Le Fay Pendragon, a human magician." the girl answered.
"A pleasure...now please leave." Sky asked politely to turn to the overs but gets hit with a power orb making him turn back seeing Vali in his Balance Breaker Armor. "Oh Shit."
Le Fay immediately chanted something under her breath for a few seconds that forcefully dispelled Vali's armor, causing him to shout at Le Fay, "You traitorous bitch! Why didn't you tell me that you had a spell that could force me out of my Balance Breaker!?"
"Because Sky Akashiya here, asks us to leave politely, and that's what we're gonna do." Le Fay said.
"Why you little..." vali was about to attack her but Sky grabbed his foot and slammed him on the ground multiple times.
A single black feather fell down and then a man with a goatee arrived. "You've caused enough of a stir here, Vali." he said before grabbing him and then leaving in a burst of feathers.
"Okay... who the hell was that just now!?" Sky asked.
"That was Azazel. He'll probably punish Vali for this, but I have to go. Toodles." Le Fay answered before flying away on her broom.
"Well that was...Something." Sky said.
Issei nods in agreement.
"Yeah. That Le Fay girl sure is bound to be dangerous if we have to fight her since that spell she cast forced Vali out of Balance Breaker." he said after nodding.
Everyone returned to the living while Sky was sitting down staring in awe at the T.V.
"Looks like he's fascinated with the T.V." Gasper said.
"To be fair, this is a T.V. that isn't broken or used as a monitor." Akeno stated.
"Well I want to take Irina somewhere and hopefully Michael doesn't know about what we did in the Wasteland." Issei said.
"That is fine, but please be careful. If you run into Vali again, don't fight him." Rias replied before kissing Issei on his cheek
He and Irina both left to go into town for their date. "Hopefully, she doesn't fall...unless it's pure love and Not lust." Akeno theorized.
"That entire universe was essentially a giant Faraday cage when it came to our powers. I would not be surprised if the same thing applied to Shidou-chan." Asia stated
"Yea...wait where did Sky go?" Kiba said not seeing him at the spot where he was.
"He must be with either Ravel or Sona." Rias replied.
Meanwhile with both Issei and Irina, both of them were very surprised at the sight in front of them. A woman with blonde hair wearing a simple white robe was floating with a halo on her head.
"G-Gabriel-sama!?" Irina asked.
"Indeed, Irina Shidou. We were worried about you when Michael came back to Heaven without you. We used our combined powers along with Uriel and Raphael, but we could not see or hear into that strange world that you and the boy you're dating went to." Gabriel replied.
"Wait, does that mean that the-" Issei began but Irina finished, "The new world that we met Sky in is, for all intents and purposes, a Faraday cage for the God of the Bible's System."
Before Gabriel can say anything she was hit by a shinzo ball shocking both Issei and Irina.
"What!? Who threw that!?" Irina asked.
"That would be me." A figure said behind them.
Issei turned and then said, "You're-"
"Yes, it is I Koroka, Sharon's big sister, and I'm here to take her back again." Koruka said.
Before Issei could say more, Kuroka started convulsing and then Irina looked behind her and saw why. Kuroka was being tasered by Le Fay. "Considering that you've left her alone for so long and are simply planning to use her like that pig who was your former master, I don't think that would be a good idea." the female magician said with a frown on her face.
"Seriously what is up with everyone when we just got back home." Issei said, making Irina agree.
"By the way Issei, try summoning your Boosted Gear. The barrier I have up will prevent the normies from seeing it, but I think you'll be in for an unpleasant surprise." Le Fay stated.
Issei proceeded to summon the Boosted Gear, but the jewel was sapped of color and not filled with light, but instead a grayish darkness. "It looks like the magician girl was right, Issei-kun. Your experiences in that world must have put it into an obscure state where it can't figure out how to evolve." Irina theorized.
"Oh boy.. I guess Vali's not gonna be happy." Issei said.
Then a bright flash appeared blinding everyone. When it died down, Irina and Issei went wide-eyed seeing someone familiar. "ARRRRR, THAT HURT!"
"Otto!? How did he even get here!?" Irina wondered.
Sky then arrived along with Ravel and said, "This is annoying. My powers started acting up all of a sudden and summoned something from that world here. To think that I ended up summoning Captain Otto..." Sky stated.
"Sky?!" Otto said. "My boy, where were ya?!"
"This universe is where everyone and I originated." Ravel answered for Sky.
The sound of something soft being squeezed was heard and then Ravel blushed as she looked at Irina and Issei before saying in a teasing tone, "You're such a pervert, Issei-san."
Le Fay also blushed. Issei had, while trying to figure out how to get the Boosted Gear out of its obscure state, had ended up grabbing Irina's right breast with his Boosted Gear-covered hand.
A male Draconic voice then shouted, "WELSH DRAGON BALANCE BREAKER: SCALE MAIL OVERBOOST!"
"WHAT THE FUCK!?" Both Otto and Sky yelled.
"Hey, Issei and I were stuck trying to figure out how to get the Boosted Gear out of its obscure state! And besides, the alternative... let's just say that the alternative would have ended very badly and leave it at that!" Irina shouted back.
Gabriel got up and then said, "Irina is correct. Most Red Dragon Emperors inevitably give in to the desire for overwhelming power and lose their lives using the Juggernaut Drive."
"Oh." Sky said.
"My boy...I would like to go back home now..." Otto asked.
"I truly am sorry, but my powers were acting up, which is why you ended up here, Captain Otto. I'll make things right and send you back." Sky said before creating a magic circle that sent Otto back in a flash of cyan light.
"Who was that? A robot?" Gabriel asked Sky to look at her with a 'are you serious' look.
"Yes, please." Gabriel said.
Irina then proceeded to tell Gabriel about her experiences in the universe where she, Issei, and Ravel had met Sky and Otto.
"Ahh so this boy is the last of the Akashiyas?" Gabriel asked, making Irina nod.
"I wound up befriending Otto while living in that world. He is quite harmless for an Automatron, but a vast majority of them are hostile." Sky added.
"I see." Gabriel said.
"By the way, Sky, isn't there a certain Deathclaw you want to introduce?" Ravel asked.
"Aw, fudgesicles. Issei, you might want to dispel your Balance Breaker." Le Fay stated.
Issei did so and then Le Fay removed her barrier, causing Snappy to run up to Gabriel and stop in front of her before it 'barked' at her instead of roaring like it normally did.
"This is a Deathclaw?" Gabriel asked while Snappy pants like a normal dog.
"Yup. That one is Snappy, my pet Deathclaw. He's friendly, but just like with Otto being unlike most Automatrons, most Deathclaws are hostile to everything." Sky answered.
"Wait, what day is it? Do we have school?" Sky asked
"Yeah, about that... we're actually in Summer vacation now." Akeno stated as she arrived.
"It also means that my peerage and I will be heading for the Underworld soon as will Sona and her peerage. In fact, we leave tomorrow. There's going to be a Youth Devil Gathering in the Underworld that coincides with Summer vacation here in Japan." Rias added after arriving.
"Oh I see, man it's still confusing." Sky said.
"You haven't been here to Japan. It's only natural that you'll be confused by it all." Irina replied.
"Or the Underworld yet." Sky said.
"True, but thankfully the Sitri family are likely to let you live with them while Sirzechs rifles through the records and whatnot to see what properties and territory used to belong to the Akashiya family before their disappearance caused them to revert to the control of the Satans." Rias stated.
"Shall we go home cause I still need to take Irina for our date like I promised and we do have Gathering." Issei said.
"Sure thing, Issei-kun." Rias said before kissing him on the cheek and waving him off.
The next morning.
Sky was stretching then seeing Sona and Ravel next to him.
"Good morning, Sky. Today, we'll be heading down to the Underworld for the Youth Devil Gathering. Let's get dressed, make some breakfast for ourselves, and then head to the train station." Sona said before she started getting dressed along with Ravel.
"Let's hope the other female Devils don't steal me from you two." Sky said, making them both giggle.
After getting dressed and having breakfast, the three of them arrived at the station. Heading to an elevator, the three got in and then Sona pulled a cardkey-like object out of her clothes and waved it over the buttons before the doors closed and the elevator started going down. When it stopped moving, the doors opened to reveal a train and the rest of Sona's peerage.
"This is a special platform reserved for use by devils and their peerages. This level is naturally off-limits to normal humans as a result." Sona explained as Saji and Ruruko came up to them.
"I see, and exactly what am I expecting from the Underworld? Don't forget I lived in the Wasteland and prayed everyday." Sky said.
"I know. For one, you won't find any churches down here in the Underworld. There's a lot of untamed wilderness and more land than water. There also is no sun, so artificial lighting is used to simulate night and day." Saji stated.
"Alright, let's go meet the Devils." Sky said.
"Indeed." Sona replied before the three of them boarded the train along with the rest of her peerage. Once aboard, Sona then asked, "We have some time before the train starts moving, so how about you introduce yourself to the rest of my peerage, Sky?"
"Sure, I'm always happy to see new faces." Sky said.
A girl with white hair approached Sky and bowed in front of him before saying, "I am Momo Hanakai, one of Sona Sitri's Bishops. It's nice to meet you."
A girl with long brown hair that ends in two short braids also bowed before she said, "I am Reya Kusaka, the other Bishop of Sona Sitri. I am honored to be in your presence, good sir."
"A pleasure to meet you to." Sky tips his hat.
A girl with blue shoulder length hair and matching eyes who looked like a tomboy then said, "I am Tsubasa Yura, at present Sona Sitri's only Rook."
A girl with shoulder-length reddish-brown hair tied into twintails and brown eyes then bowed before saying, "And I am Tomoe Meguri, Sona-chan's only Knight at the moment. You already know Saji-kun, Ruruko-chan, and Tsubaki-san given the circumstances of how you all met."
"Yea, at first I didn't like Saji but he grew on me, figuratively not literally." Sky said making Saji glare at him for that.
"To be fair, he was quite jealous of Sona hooking up with you before I put a stop to it." Ruruko stated before pulling Saji's hand down to her waist and moving it under her skirt. She then moved so that his hand was on her ass. Saji then unwittingly squeezed her ass.
"Is this everyone, babe?" Sky asked.
"Yep, this is everyone in my master's peerage. One more thing: most high-class Devils ride in the front carriage of the train. It makes them feel important." Tsubaki stated. Tsubaki stated. Immediately after saying that, the train began to move.
