Underworld
"Lord-Lord Hades!" The reaper rushes into the throne room. "There-there."
"What is it?" The God of the Underworld, Hades, looks at the reaper in front of him.
"In-in-" Before the reaper could finish, a beam of light pierces it in the head, killing it instantly.
"Teh. One of them survived." An annoyed voice rings throughout the room.
"That's why I said you should have just cut them all down, rather than shooting them one by one." Another voice replies.
"Shooting is more fun." Hades watches as the two intruders enter the room. One of them he recognizes immediately.
The [Demon's Bane] Blake Dawn comes down to the Underworld quite often, usually to kill things. Hades had lost many Grim Reapers the last time Blake had popped down for a visit.
The other one however, was not one Hades recognized. The boy's eyes however, reminds Hades of his niece, Athena.
"And that's why we always have problems." The gray-eyed boys sighs. "It's always about fun, fun, fun with you and Shi-"
"Shut up, we're here." Blake turns to Hades. "It's been a while Hades."
"Indeed." Hades replies. He knows better than to attack the two. Hades, unlike many of the other Gods, actually knew about the continued existence of [Testament]. "What does [Testament] want with me?"
"You know what we want." Blake replies.
"Perhaps." Hades knew of course. If [Testament] is planning to restart the [Exodus of Gods], then they needed one thing. A weapon to crush even the strongest of monsters. "But why would I give it to you?"
"Why not? You want them destroyed." This time it was the other boy who spoke. "We'll destroy them for you. The weapon just makes it easier."
"And how do I know you won't turn towards me in the end?"
"You don't." The boy admits. "But isn't that the fun bit? It's a gamble."
"A gamble..." Hades knows that this was no gamble. Regardless of whatever happened, ultimately [Testament] would turn their fangs towards him. There was a reason why their plan was called the [Exodus of Gods]. "I don't think so."
"What do-" Before the boy could finish, Blake raises his hand.
"Don't bother. He knows that regardless of what happens, we're going to kill him." Blake points his finger at Hades. "The only difference is that if you give us the weapon, you die later. If you don't, you die now." Blake's finger beings to glow. "So what's your answer?"
"Hmmm." Hades places his skeletal hand on the side of his skull. "How about no?" The word barely leaves his mouth before a laser punches a hole through his forehead.
"Thought so." Blake smiles, before frowning as Hades' body begins to melt into shadow. "What the fuck?"
"Sigh..." Blake's partner shakes his head. At the same time, hundreds of Grim Reaper materialize within the throne room. "Why am I not surprised that this turned out like this?"
"Shut up and fight Adam! Or just shut up and close your eyes!" Blake raises his right hand. "[Lightshow]!" Light immediately fills the room.
"[Light-ugh!?" Before Blake could finish his incantation, a scythe cuts his hand off. "Shit!" Blake curses, jumping backwards. His disemboweled hand quickly turns to light and reforms back into place. The Grim Reaper immediately chases after Blake, its scythe aiming for Blake's neck.
"[Wrath, the one who destroys.]." Adam's voice calls out. The Grim Reaper suddenly stops mid-swing, before exploding into a shower of bone. "Someone obviously forgot that Grim Reapers don't have regular sight."
"Shut up." Blake mutters, glancing around the throne room. Adam's [Wrath] had annihilated most of the Grim Reapers, but reinforcements were quickly arriving. "I'm going after Hades. You clean up."
"Sure, but do you even know where he is?" Adam could sense Hades below them, but wasn't about to give out that information. Blake pissed him off.
"Of course." Blake points downwards. "Whenever the owner knows that something is about to be stolen, they always go to where that thing is. So obviously, he's heading down to Cocytus." Adam whistles, genuinely impressed.
"Not bad. Alright then, I'll hold them off." Adam turns towards the horde of Grim Reapers. "Hurry up and get down there."
"No need to nag Old Man! I'm off already!" Blake's hand begins to glow. "[Grand Battering Ram of the Golden King]!" Blake punches the ground, his hand turning to light at the moment of impact. Immediately, the ground breaks open, Blake's laser having punched a hole straight through the earth. "Seeya!" Blake jumps down the newly made hole.
"Seeya." Adam replies, not looking back. Some of the Reapers move to follow Blake, but suddenly stop moving. "Ahhhh." Adam sighs happily. "Now that the peanut gallery has finally left, I can actually fight properly." Adam points his finger at the frozen Reapers. "[Wrath, the one who destroys.]."
The sound of bones disintegrating fills the room.
"[Greed, the one who possesses.]." Adam says, flicking his fingers towards his body. A group of Grim Reapers immediately fly towards Adam, as if pulled by an invisible force. "[Lust, the one who burns.]." A wall of fire explodes from the ground, creating a barrier between Adam and the Reapers. Adam watches as the Grim Reapers fly, screaming, into the wall of fire. With a crackling sound, the Grim Reapers are reduced to cinders. Adam turns to the remaining Reapers, his grey eyes shining in the light of the flames.
"So then, who's next?"
Underworld, Palace Corridor.
"[Light Brigade: Skirmish]!" Blake roars, throwing his fist forward. The resulting explosion sends tens of Grim Reapers flying. But more appear from the shadows, their scythes swinging. At the far end of the corridor, Hades is strolling towards the exit. "Fuck! Stop there you bastard!" Blake screams, pointing his finger to shoot a laser. Before he can however, a Grim Reaper's scythe swings through the air, forcing Blake to dodge. "Fuck! [Fairy Lights]!" Countless balls of light appear around Blake. "[Bomb Fairy]!" The balls promptly explode, destroying everything with a 15 meter radius.
"Hmmmm, not bad." A voice calls. Suddenly, a scythe swings through the smoke, its blade aimed at Blake's throat.
"Tch!?" Blake jumps back, the scythe cutting a thin line on his adam's apple. "Shit!"
"You curse a lot." The smoke clears, revealing a figure. He's dressed in Grim Reaper robes, but unlike the others, his face is visible. Upon seeing it, Blake blinks once, not believing his eyes. The man's face is beyond beautiful. "My name is Thanatos."
"Thanatos?" Blake summons a sword of light. "The God of Meth right?"
"Death." Thanatos corrects Blake.
"Death, meth, what's the difference?" Blake smiles. "All that matters is that you're a God."
"You don't seem scared." Thanatos spins the scythe slowly. "Unusual for a human."
"Scared? Why would I be scared?" Blake points his sword at Thanatos. "I'm excited."
"Excited?"
"Yup. Only Daemon got to kill a God during last [Exodus]. Even if you're only a minor God, you're still a God." Blake swings his sword in an arc. "Now then, how about we get this party started?"
"Very well." Thanatos shifts his stance so that his scythe is directly behind him. "Accept my blade and die human."
Kuoh Academy.
"Issei!" Issei calls. "Let's go get something to eat!" Rias blushes red upon hearing Issei call her name.
"Jeez...ok." Rias smiles, grabbing Issei's hand. "Where do you want to eat?"
"How about that new restaurant?" Issei replies, pulling Rias towards the front gate. "You know, Cafe Neko?"
"Ara-ara-ara." A familiar voice remarks."Am I invited as well?" Akeno appears from behind a tree, before making a sad face towards Issei. "Issei-kun..."
Issei looks at Rias, who looks annoyed, and then at Akeno, who's pulling a puppy dog face. "Ah-er-" Before Issei can say anything, a new voice interrupts.
"Excuse me~Do you know where Kuoh Academy is~?"
Phew~ Setting the stage for the [Exodus of Gods].
