Chapter 10: Sky's Folly
Occult Research Club
"So that's how Seekvaira lost to you. You swarmed her and her peerage with what Diodora left behind. How are they in terms of their ability to fight?" Rias spoke to Latia.
"They are all sub-par at best. With their master dead, they are unable to use their full potential. Out of all 15 members, none of them can be salvaged. Their minds are too broken to function outside of battle without Diodora around. It pains me to say this, but I want you to be there with me when Ajuka extracts their pieces so that they can die quickly." Latia replied in a somber tone.
"Man...I hope they rest in peace after what that jackass did." Issei stated.
"Agree, Diodora can rot for all I care after what he did to those poor, poor girls." Latia said still in a somber tone.
"It is amazing that you were even able to command them and win against Seekvaira. The odds were stacked against you, Latia-sama." Akeno spoke.
"Yea, but the Battle with Sky and Roselein...pardon my french...WAS FUCKING AWESOME!" Gasper yelled, shocking Everyone.
"True. She's certainly not someone to take lightly, especially with that song she used to snap him out of his Juggernaut Drive. She could theoretically use it to cancel Issei's Balance Breaker." Rias stated.
"Overdrive, apparently it's his most powerful move." Kiba said.
"Yes, and she was able to bring Sky out of it. That Phenex Turbo Mode is also scary, even taking into account that Riser and Ravel weren't able to use it in the match before all of this happened." Issei said with a shudder.
"I wonder how Sky will beat your cousin Rias?" Akeno said.
"Honestly, the match between Sky and Sairaorg could go either way. Sairaorg may not have any Demonic Power, but he and his peerage have apparently been training like crazy even before the Sky vs Roselein match. I can't discount the possibility that they're training even harder now." Rias answered.
"Let's hope that Sairaorg doesn't ask for a death wish, cause remember Mettallus?" Asia said.
"He may be a meathead, but even he isn't THAT dumb. From what I have heard, Sky will be handicapped in his match against Sairaorg, but nobody will know until the day of the match exactly what said handicap will be. He might not be able to bring in any of his weapons from the Wasteland, for example." Akeno theorized.
"I remember one of his gifts for me from that world." Kiba started bringing out a Yao Guai Skull as a gauntlet.
Latia shuddered upon seeing it and said, "Creepy…"
"I wonder how Sky's traing is going now?" Koneko asks.
With Sky and Tannin.
"299,998...299,999...300,000!" Sky said doing push-ups with a giant Boulder on his back.
"You're doing good there, but even then, Sairaorg won't be a pushover." Tannin spoke as a screen detailing Sky's stats appeared on it. Another screen showing Sairaorg's stats appeared next to it, but the SPECIAL stats of Sairaorg all displayed
Questions Marks instead of numbers
"Strange." Sky states.
"What's strange?" Tannin asked.
"What's with the Question Marks instead of numbers...he's up to something." Sky said, narrowing his eyes on the stats.
"It's possible that Sairaorg has been training himself so intensely that his stats cannot be measured with any degree of accuracy. Stuff like that is pretty common whenever someone learns how to use Touki." Tannin replied.
"Well let's hope he doesn't cheat, I despise Cheaters." Sky said.
"DRAGIA!" A loud booming voice yelled.
'Uh oh" both Tannin and Dragia said.
"Wha-" Sky was interrupted by a tackle of a large blue dragon.
"WHERE IS THAT COWARDLY BROTHER OF YOURS, DRAGIA!?" the blue dragon shouted at Sky.
"Tiamat... I honestly forgot how completely obsessed she is about Ddraig losing her treasure." Tannin facepalmed with one of his front claws.
"Ow..." Sky said.
'TIAMAT! YOU'RE HURTING MY HOST!' Dragia yelled.
"DO I LOOK LIKE I CARE?!" Tiamat roared angrily before Sky grabbed her arm and twisted it, making her roar in pain before grabbing her tail and swinging her.
Tannin then said as Tiamat was sent flying, "From that, I don't think she'll want to bother you anytime soon if at all."
"Also just a quick question." Sky asked.
"Yes?" Tannin asked.
"Were you and Dragia before I became her host?" Sky asked, making both Tannin and Dragia freeze in place.
"No. I had more pressing issues to attend to at the time." Tannin stated.
"Really then why do I see Dragia with a body pillow of you saying 'Oh my darling I miss you so much' everytime I go to bed?" Sky asked with an unamused face.
"She had a crush on me, but I was focusing more on securing a future for all Dragons. There are some Dragons that can only survive by consuming a certain type of Apple that grows from a tree that cannot live in the human world nowadays. I was able to secure land where that type of tree can grow, but in doing so, I had to join the ranks of the Devils." Tannin spoke.
"Makes sense and also just a heads up hide your ring that says 'Dragia is my life' on it." Sky said about going to the next part of training.
Tannin vanished ring and then started the next part of Sky's training.
With Ravel in Sky's room hold her stomach.
"Thank you Sky...the love of my life." Ravel said smiling then went to lay down seeing one of his shirts and held it close. "And soon Sona will be a mother as well." She then falls asleep.
Back with Sky.
He was running and jumping through the mountains then landing next to Tannin.
"How was that eh?" Sky asked, panting.
"That was good running and acrobatics." Tannin answered.
"Anything else before I face The Lion of the Underworld?" Sky asked.
"Yes." Tannin charged energy into his claws after saying that and then shouted as he then thrusted those same claws at Sky, "HADOUKEN!" as the energy created a blue fireball that sent Sky flying away into a teleportation circle.
Back with Sona
"Where is he?" Sona asked before a teleportation circle appeared in front of her and spat out Sky.
"Hey honey...ow." Sky said getting up popping his back.
"What happened?" Sona asked.
"Tannin...Hadouken...long story short I'm ready." Sky said. "Also Sona?"
"Yes, love?" Sona asked.
"What happens if I lose the reputation of my house? I don't care if I lose it or not?" Sky asked nervously.
"In the best case scenario, losing reputation with a house or clan will merely mean that they won't do as much business with you. In the worst case, they will not only distrust you but will also spread distasteful rumors and other things that are unpleasant. Why do you ask?" Sona answered.
"Because I am worried about losing you and Ravel...I don't want to be alone again..." Sky said, making Sona go up to him and kiss him.
"I have no intention of dying before you do if I ever die at all, Sky." Sona said after breaking the kiss.
"I love You Sona." Sky said.
"Same to you my Love." Sona replied.
Ravel then arrived and said, "You're back Sky. How did things go with Tannin while training?"
"Good, and also hope no one spreads rumors if I lose this fight." Sky stated.
"Why do you say that?" Ravel asked, looking at Sona.
"The Bael Clan leadership might not take it well if Sky loses to Sairaorg. The thing is, despite his lack of Demonic Power, Sairaorg is one hell of a training maniac." Sona spoke.
"Also Sky is afraid that if he loses his reputation of his house he thinks we're gonna leave hi-'' Sona was interrupted by Ravel running up to Sky and giving him a lot of kisses.
"NEVER SAY THAT SKY, ME AND SONA WILL FOREVER LIVE YOU!" Ravel Stated then continues kissing him.
"Thank you two." Sky said as he gave Ravel's ass a gentle squeeze.
"Dear~" Sona said, making him face her before she grabs his face then makes out with him.
Time skip with Sky all bruised up in front of Sairaorg.
"You did well Sky, but this is the end of the line for you as far as this tournament goes. We should have a rematch sometime in the future." Sairaorg stated before he knocked Sky out.
Ajuka's voice then said, "Sky Akashiya has been defeated. Sairaorg Bael wins."
"Well atleast Sky had fun." Raiser said.
"Yea like he told me and Sona he doesn't care, he only cares for his friends and family." Ravel said, holding her stomach.
"Yeah, and Sky didn't use the Juggernaut Overdrive either. Regulus almost made him use it, but Sky managed to calm himself down before taking him out. Plus Sky wasn't able to use any of his weapons, only his Demonic Power and Sacred Gear abilities." Sona stated while also holding her stomach.
"Also why are you two holding your stomachs?" Rias asked.
"Um, you're also doing it too Rias." Akeno stated.
"U-Umm well you see Ravel is pregnant but I'm hoping I'm not yet till I go to college, cause i took the test three times and all came back negative, Sky wore protectionon me." Sona said.
"And I'm pregnant...with Issei's child." Rias said smiling.
"I see. Issei has impregnated all of his fiancés from his time in the Wasteland except for Koneko." Riser spoke
"So brother are you excited to be an uncle?" Ravel asked.
"I don't know...Know what the hell, Fuck yea I am!" Raiser said in excitement.
Meanwhile with Issei
"Hey there, Issei. Want to have a good time with me?" Murayama spoke lustfully as she saw him arrive.
"Umm, why I just came here to get caught up in work and also just a heads up I'm no longer peaking on you girls." Issei stated.
"I know, I just felt like teasing you a little. But I would like to start dating you. Asia and the others already gave me permission." Murayama replied
"Well just a heads up I'm good in bed, hehe." Issei teased making her blush.
"Oh dear... I think I'm starting to fall for you now..." Katase shuddered.
Issei then hugs her making her hug back. "Is this better then me peeping on you?" Issei asks making her nod.
Then a Pitbull cam up and tackled Issei licking him. "Snappy...Stop...Snappy down Oh!" Issei said trying to make him stop.
Katase ended her hug and backed away from the pitbull fearfully.
"It seems that Katase is afraid of Snappy." Murayama spoke.
"Well Snappy can be grumpy when people mess with Sky bit he's actually a softie." Issei stated.
"I agree." Asia said as she arrived while holding her stomach.
"Well well, if I had to guess, you knocked Asia up, Hyoudou-kun." Aika spoke.
"Yea and not gonna lie m6 parents are happy that their gonna be grandparents." Issei said.
Back with Sky in a hospital bed.
Sky groaned as he woke up.
"Man he does not mess around...but atleazt that was a fun fight." Sky said laying there.
Ravel then came in with a bottle of phoenix tears and used it on him. "How do you feel now, love?" she asked afterward.
"Better. What happened after I passed out?" Sky asked.
"Well..." she said.
Flashback with the Devil Kings.
"THE BAEL CLAN WANTS TO DO WHAT!?" Sirzechs snarled.
"Why!? To my future brother in law!?" Serafall yelled.
"I'm sorry Lord Beal we can't do that to the poor boy, forcing him to be a breeding machine? Absolutely not" Ajuka said.
Lord Bael sighed and then said, "I presume that the rest of you agree with him?"
"OF FUCKING COURSE! AMIIA DOESN'T WANT ANYTHING HAPPENING TO HER SON!" Serafall screamed angrily.
"And if you're planning to initiate more arranged marriages behind our backs, you'll regret it." Sirzechs snarled.
Lord Bael sighed and then said, "Then it seems that our business here is over and that I have wasted my time. I am not looking forward to telling HIM the bad news." before leaving.
"Fucking bastard." Serafall said. "And why does he want to do that? He's already happy with So-tan and Ravel."
"Because he thinks with Sky's genes the future generations of powers would have the powers of The Akashiya family." Sirzechs stated.
"I'm more concerned about what Lord Bael said before he left. He said something about telling HIM the bad news. Who could he be talking about?" Ajuka spoke.
"I don't know...Serafall make sure Sky is protected, Ajuka finds out who Lord Beal is talking about." Sirzechs ordered.
"I understand." Ajuka replied before teleporting away.
With Lord Beal.
"Forgive me, they denied the request." He said.
A male figure whose features were obscured in shadow replied, "It is increasingly apparent that we may need to further our interference. I will arrange a team to make a kidnapping attempt. Your task will be to set up a Rating Game between Bedeze Abaddon and Mephisto Pheles. Am I clear, Lord Bael?"
"Of course it shall be done." Lord Beal bows then turns to leave.
"Soon...they will all see this is necessary." The figure said.
Unknown to either of them, a small spider had overheard the conversation and scampered off. The figure then said, "Hmm... oh, it was just a spider."
Back with Ajuka
"Are you absolutely certain about this? Zekram Bael is the one behind this plot?" Sirzechs asked.
"Yes, I couldn't see who the figure was but they are gonna kidnap Sky for only breeding." Ajuka stated.
"Damn. This sounds exactly like the sort of thing that Zekram would do. He and his Great King Faction are still up to their no good tricks." Sirzechs replied.
"What shall we do?" Ajuka asked.
"Serafall at least can keep Sky safe from anything that Zekram's assembled force can try short of threatening Rias and Sona. For now, we simply wait and let this get foiled before we take overt action. If we act now, Zekram will obviously deny everything and ensure that a civil war breaks out." Sirzechs stated.
"Yes Sirzechs." Serafall said teleporting out.
"What should we do in the mean time?" Ajuka asked.
"You can oversee the Bedeze vs Mephisto game. I will investigate to see if any more progenitor Devils are up to causing trouble. We have to remember that Zekram founded the Bael clan and if he is active even now, it's not unlikely that others are active too." Sirzechs answered.
Ajuka nods then leaves.
