Kuoh Academy.
Issei turns around. Standing at the gate of the school are two males he's never seen before. One of them has black hair and a big smile on his face. His companion on the other hand, has white hair and a large scowl plastered on his face.
"Hiya~" The black haired boy waves. "Is this Kuoh Academy~?"
"Yes it is." Akeno replies. "I've never seen you two before. Are you new students?"
"Yup~"
"Yes." The two strangers reply at the same time.
"Then you're here for orientation?" The two of them nod. Akeno points to the main building. "Then you should go to the office. It's on the 3rd floor, room 31."
"Thank you~" The black haired boy bows his head. "We got lost, so we arrived later than we thought we would~" The white haired boy mutters something under his breath. Issei thought he heard the words "Hong Kong" and "Weapons Violation", but he wasn't quite sure.
"Its no problem." Akeno replies.
"Well then, we'll be off~!" The black haired boy waves. "Come on Mark~"The black haired boy grabs his companion by the hand. "Let's go~!"
"Hey! Let go of me!" The white haired boy named Mark protests as he's dragged away.
"...well that was weird." Issei murmurs to himself.
"Indeed." Rias turns to Issei. "Now then, you were going to say something about Akeno coming with us?" Rias' eyes glow red and demonic power begins to appear in her right hand. "Choose your answer carefully Issei."
"Arararara resorting to threats Rias?" Lightning begins to wrap around Akeno. "Don't worry Issei-kun, I'll protect you."
"I'll protect him!"
"No I will!" The resulting explosions echoed throughout the town, with a boy's scream barely audible above the explosions.
"Those guys looked familiar." Mark says. Next to him, Shi is eating pastry while walking. "Especially the red head. Where have I seen her before?"
"That was Rias Gremory~" Shi answers. "She's really pretty huh~?"
"Oh really? That was her?" Mark nods. "I thought the black haired girl was more attractive though."
"Hmmm~I can understand that~The Thunder Priestess is definitely fine-Woah!" Shi jumps back as Mark throws a punch at him. "What was that for~?"
"YOU DIPSHIT! THOSE TWO ARE OUR TARGETS!"
"Actually, we have more than two-"
"YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!" Mark's hand goes to his belt. "Fuck this! I'm going to kill them now!" Like lightning, Shi grabs Mark's shoulder. "What? Don't tell me you've fallen for the girl and now don't want to kill her."
"Don't." Shi says simply. "The third person with them was the Welsh Dragon."
"So?" Mark looks at Shi quizzically. "He may be strong, but against us he's worthless."
"That may be true, but if we fight him here, it will be drawn out battle." Shi looks towards where they had encountered Gremory peerage. "If we fight them here, we may end up killing civilians."
"...teh." Mark drops his hand. "Is that why you didn't tell me when we met them?"
"Maybe~" Shi smiles. "But moving on~There are still targets within the building that we can take~"
"Who?"
Shi's smile grows wider. "The strategist of the Devils, Sona Sitri of course~!"
Underworld, Throne Room.
"That was tedious." Adam takes a seat on the throne. "You're weak, but there sure are a lot of you." Adam scans the room. The Reapers had stopped appearing after about 10 minutes. Now, the room is covered in white dust. "How boring." Adam looks at the hole in the ground. "I wonder how Blake is doing?"
Underworld, Palace Corridor.
"Tch!" Blake spins around, turning his foot into light. "[Light Brigade: Raid]!"
"Miss." Thanatos leans backwards, dodging the light speed kick by a hair's breath. "You have too many wasted movements." Thanatos flicks his wrist, his scythe literally teleporting towards Blake's chest.
"Shit!" Blake curses, turning himself to light. The blade passes through his body, leaving him unharmed. "[Fairy Lights]!" Hundreds of balls of light appear around him. They immediately beginning flashing wildly, coating the battlefield in strobe lighting.
"Oh, you're an elemental?" An ominous aura surrounds his scythe. "Well then, I suppose I need to get serious." Thanatos slashes with his scythe. This time, Blake jumps backwards.
"Shit!" Blake stumbles, blood exploding from his chest. "[Light-" Thanatos' blade appears below Blake, slashing upwards. This time, Blake has no time to block.
Blood splatters across the floor as Thanatos' scythe cuts Blake's chest open. Not pausing for an instant, Thanatos spins around and impales the blade through Blake's heart. The blade slides in without an ounce of resistance.
"And it ends." Thanatos whispers, drawing the blade out with a snick. Blake collapses to his knees, blood flowing freely from his mouth and wounds, before falling to the ground with a thud. Thanatos looks at the corpse, expecting to feel the hear the sound of Blake's soul departing its earthly vessel. Instead, he hears a different sound.
"I detest this kind of underhand combat." Blake's voice comments from behind Thanatos. "That was always Adam's forte rather than mine." Thanatos spins around. Blake is standing about 5 meters away, his right hand raised up to the sky. An incredible amount of mana is being concentrated into a single orb above Blake's hand. "[The light which rules over the world. The strongest, most absolute light-]" Blake begins to chant.
"This is-!" Thanatos' eyes widen. "You-you-" Thanatos leaps forward, his scythe slashing closing the distance between Blake and Thanatos in moments. Just as the blade is about to cut him, Blake's body shifts and disappears. The light source however, remains.
"[Supernova.]" Blake's voice says from behind Thanatos. At the same time, the orb explodes, bathing the entire corridor in blazing light. Thanatos feels his skin being burned off from the intense heat. His retinas, which unlike other Grim Reapers, he possess, are completely burned out, removing him of conventional sight. Through the pain, Thanatos hears Blake voice casually add.
"[Light Brigade: Raid]."
This time, the kick hits.
Kuoh Academy
Sona looks up from her paperwork. Someone had just knocked on the door of the Student Council Room. "Come in." The door opens and Sean walks in. "Oh hello. How are you adjusting?"
"Ah-ah." Sean mumbles. Sona smiles.
"It's alright, take your time."
"Tha-thank you." Sean bows his head. "I'm-I'm sorry, its just that-" The door bursts open, cutting Sean midway.
"Hiya Sona-chan!" Azazel cries. He's wearing a kimono and is holding a bottle of sake in his right hand. "Come drink with me-" Azazel is cut off when Tsubaki strikes him with a naginata. "Gah! It hurts!"
"You should know that alcohol is banned on campus." Sona looks at Azazel with disapproving eyes. "As expected from the Leader of the Angels who fell from Heaven."
"Ex-leader, nyahahahahaha~" Azazel laughs on the ground. "Drinking trumps everyth-zzzzzzzzzzz." The rest of his words are cut off as he falls asleep. Sona looks at the unconscious form of the ex-Governor of the Fallen Angels who's drooling on her carpet.
"Tsubaki, call Saji and tell him to bring Loup with him." Sona sighs. "We need to get rid of this teacher before the carpet stains."
"Yes Ma'am." Tsubaki turns towards the door. Suddenly, she stops. "There are two incredibly powerful presences coming towards this room."
Sona looks up as well. She too had sensed the new people approaching. As the sources came closer, Sona could hear them arguing.
"Are you sure this is the right room?"
"Of course~ I did check before hand~!"
"Oh wait, there it is."
"I told ya~" The two voices were rapidly approaching the door. "Should I knock or should I just barge in~?"
"Knock of course."
The sound of knocking echoes throughout the room. Motioning to Tsubaki to arm herself, Sona quickly ran a number of simulations through her brain.
Two incredibly powerful people and unknown intentions. At the moment, we have one Exorcist of the lowest class, a drunk Grigori ex-Leader, Tsubaki and myself. The rest of my servants are scattered throughout the building. It will take a total of 5 minutes for all of them to get here. If this turns into a conflict, can the people in this room hold off these two new people for 5 minutes?
"Come in." Sona says, trying to keep herself calm. The door opens, and two people walk in.
"Hiya~!"
"Hello."
Tension is rising.
