Chapter 2. Cleaning the Church
His body hurt... His body sore... His body screamed...
Uchiha Madara feel enormous pain on his whole body. He wondering is this death? But if he recall it not this painful when he died for the first time after manipulated Obito
He let out groan due to pain before slowly open his eyes and stare at the... Bright sun?
He close his eyes again in reflex due to bright light that shot his eyes. Then he grunted before move his hand and push himself to sit
As he sit, he take moment to relax his body first as it really feel sore. He never feel this sore other than when he at old age but it because he only life because he got energy from Gedo Mazo! He practically already dead that time and only live from energy of Gedo Mazo
He slowly open his eyes again and find himself in... Forest?
Yeah, he in middle of forest
He blinked in confusion. Now even if it hazy in his memory but he sure Pure Land is not like this when he died in first time
Slowly he push himself to stand with grunt. He stretch his muscle a bit to ease the stiff and pain he felt, cracking his necks few times he began to observe his surrounding
'Where am I?' He thought, the tree around him also quite high than normal one
However he not given chance to observe more as his sense picked multiple presence that come to his position. And soon not long, he found himself surrounded by people who wearing black suit from all direction
'20 people... Strange... I don't sense any Chakra come from them... Now I sense it again, none of them possess one. In fact, they possess another energy...'
"It was a brat?" One man sneered
Madara eyes twitched. Brat? That man look not older than him so much! Sure he seems taller but that not give him right to call him brat!
"Why there brat in here?"
Another twitch
"I don't know, however it better if we bring him to Kokabiel-sama. This place is secluded, how did he come here is big question." Another man said before turned to Madara "Boy you better follow us now if you don't want get hurt."
Madara eyes narrowed when hearing that, did they just threatened him? HIM? The Uchiha Madara?! This man either very brave or too idiot for not knowing him
"And why I should come with you?" Madara sneered before he inwardly blinked, is it just him or his voice sounds too... Lighter?
"Because you love your life, now come or else!" The man to Madara slight surprise summon spear that created from light out of nothing. He blinked again, that clearly not using Chakra
He can think about anything later... For now...
"Idiot." Madara whispered before he become blur and deliver strong kick to the man middle chest
The man gasped before sended away, crashing multitude trees and immediately unconscious.
"Bastard! Kill him!"
Madara tilted his head and dodge spear that launched to him. He then move with speed that can't be seen by them and appear in middle of two of them. Jumping, he deliver dual spinning kick and hit away both mans head
Then he twist his body and dodge one swing attack before deliver lariat attack to his neck, knocking one man down. And he grab his leg before use the man as tool and swing it then throw him away and hit another enemy
He jumped and dodge two swing attack from behind and front before spin his body in air and deliver spinning kick to both attackers. As he plant his feet to the ground again he sense the rest of them attacking him, above, left, right, behind, and all direction
"We got you!"
"Die!"
Madara only let out sigh at the familiar words
"Pitiful."
The ground around him suddenly explode as numerous roots grow out like tentacle, the roots piercing all the fallen angel chest, killing all of them save for one who got pierced in stomach
He made that intentionally since he want to interrogate one of them. He stare to the survivor with blank look and with gesture of his hand, the root carry the survivor to front of his face
"Now... Let have a chat, shall we?." Madara said as his eyes flashed to red and his Sharingan alive
Present in Hyoudou residence
"I see... So the plan was to extract Asia Argento Sacred Gear..." Madara mused aloud as he sit with crossed leg
"Yes Madara-sama." Raynare confirmed with nod and the Uchiha hummed "The leader of this plan is Ariel..." She then showed the picture of a woman with long blue hair, green eyes and wearing red long sleeved shirt and black short skirt "She is 6 winged fallen angel that lead everything, she specialize in ice spell. There Calawarner, Dohnaseek and Mittelt too.." She said as she give the picture to Ise and Madara
"6 winged eh... That equal to High-class Devil... Is she rookie or experienced?" Ise asked
"She quite experienced, she one of commander in Kokabiel brigade before he revolt like this." Raynare informed and Ise let out grunt of impressed "She want Twilight Healing so it healed power will help her and fallen angel when Kokabiel plan to make war succeed.."
"I see... Then we have to stop them, simple like that. We can't have our new recruit to be killed..." Madara commented simply "When Asia Argento come?" He asked
"Tomorrow via train, 11.00AM..."
"That was quite soon." Ise commented with blink "So what our plan?"
Madara only silence for moment while hummed and rubbing his chin
"Raynare come with me tomorrow, we get that girl in station. Ise you clean the Church, and don't break your cover while doing that." Madara ordered
Raynare bowed and give words "Hai" while Ise let out feral grin hearing that. Oh yeah, he like that plan. Though it mean he must limit himself since his technique is one of most destructive in Akatsuki -not surprise seeing his status as Sekiryuutei- but hey! He at least finally got to act!
"Ise, how about your mission?" Madara asked
"Oh right, here." Ise toss him some folder and Madara caught it "I already write down the list of all Devils in there." He said and Madara open the folder before read it
After a moment of reading he let out slight interested emotion on his face
"Shinra and Himejima?" He rolled on his tongue and Raynare gasped slightly at the name before Madara smirked "Now, this is interesting. To think there someone who from two Great Families turned to Devil."
"Great Families? What's that?" Ise asked with blink and Madara give dull look to him
"Didn't I already give you information about Great Families before? Don't tell me you not hear my lecture." Madara asked with narrowed eyebrow make Ise pale a bit "It seems we will have little chat after this Ise, Raynare would you please elaborate?"
"H-Hai!" Raynare replied "Hyoudou-sama, Great Families is group of Human that possess unique power or their ancestor have good role in history for their own religion. For example, Himejima family is famous Onmyōji clan, they play quite role in Shinto Faction." She explained and Ise rubbed his chin while make understanding grunt
"Pendragon Family from Britain also one of them, their family like you know in history, specialize in knight and also have quite talented magician." Madara added with nod and Ise reminded to Mordred who working with Jeanne. He then read back the data before let out grin "Now, this is interesting. I never thought I will encounter the first Himejima dark secret..."
"Dark secret?" Ise asked and Madara in response showed the picture of Akeno
"This girl... She fallen angel hybrid right?" Madara pointed to her
"Yes..."
"This girl is not ordinary girl, she is Barakiel daughter."
Ise eyes widened in clear surprise at the statement while Raynare let out gasp of shock
"Barakiel daughter..." She murmured "Now if I remember, there conflict between Barakiel and Himejima family ten years ago." She stated as she remember that time was quite ruckus in Grigori
"And not just that, Himejima family also have quite accident. It was around four years ago, surely you know someone with name Slash Dog?" Madara stated
"Tobio Ikuse? The possessor of Canis Lykaon right? I've heard about him once when I go to mission." Ise responded, that man also one of people he wish to fight
"He also one top fighter in Grigori along with Vali, the Hakuryuukou. Both of them considered equal..." Raynare added her opinion, she notice Ise eyes twitched slightly at hearing Hakuryuukou name
"Tobio Ikuse, if you want to know her Grandmother Maiden name is Himejima. Himejima Ageha..." Madara said much to both his subordinate shock again hearing the news "Which make him actually Himejima Tobio, but that story for another time. Now back to track, this girl..." Madara eyes narrowed as he show the picture to Ise "Tell me... She seems familiar isn't it?"
Ise who stare at Koneko picture put thoughtful face while make hum. After moment of thinking he turn back to Madara
"Nope..." He said and Madara eyes become flat
"Black Cat..."
At that, Ise and Raynare eyes widened again but for different reason. Ise immediately know what Madara mean while Raynare know that Kuroneko no Akatsuki (Black Cat of Rising Sun) is one of ten main members of her current group
"What we going to do to her?" Ise asked in serious tone as he stare at Koneko
"Leave her be for moment, and now this boy." Madara then pointed to Kiba, there note 'Avenger' on below his picture "Care to share?"
"Nothing much, it was like old people said. Take one to know another one..." Ise shrugged simply and Madara hummed
"I guess I will check about them more from my own network." Madara said simply "Well I guess that's all for tonight. I will leave you two now, do whatever you want but I want you in here next morning 09:30AM sharp Raynare." Madara finished his order as he stand and leave the duo alone
Both of them stared at Madara figure who gone into upstairs and Raynare let out breath she hold. She must admit, Madara presence clearly unlike everyone who she ever meet. That man presence practically screaming power and dominance, she never felt such presence, not even from Azazel or Shemhaza
"Don't get too nervous."
Raynare blinked and turn to Ise who grinned while leaned on his sofa "Master maybe very strict and cold. But he good person to asked advice for ya know? Kinda like some General in War. He not always cold and he does have quite soft spot sometime." Ise explained with slight smile
"Oh..." Raynare responded in slight timid tone "I-I don't know about that..."
"Of course you don't, Madara-sama only close to Akatsuki main members." Ise chuckled make Raynare flustered slightly "What I try to say is, just relax. He won't kill you out of blue just because you make little mistake..." He stated 'But he will if his mood bad... Heck! I still remember he beat ten of us to the pulp and kill many normal subordinate because we fail one important mission.' He thought with sweatdrop
Raynare oblivious to the doom thought let out slight smile of relieve at his statement. "I see... Maybe I will try to make little conversation with him later. Is there anything I should know so I won't offend him or something I can give to him?" She asked
"Inarizushi, he like that stuff and don't give him roe. And..." Ise paused as he began to ponder more about Madara "Don't speak about his past, he very secretive. And DON'T speak about Shinto faction." He said sternly in last part "He hate them for some reason... And don't ask what, because that was secret."
Indeed, among all factions, Shinto is the most Madara hated. In his eyes, the name of Deity in there copy his technique and that more than enough to make them bad list in his book
Raynare only nodded at that since unsure how to response "Then how about you Hyoudou-sama? What your favorite food?"
"Me?" Ise pointed to himself "Well, I love Meat I guess. Steak, Yakiniku, Teriyaki, Burger and thing that related to beef. For fruit, I prefer Dragon Apple..." He said with shrug
"The one that produced in Underworld?" Raynare asked and Ise nodded
As the duo continue their conversation, they not aware Madara in above hearing them since the beginning.
Slight smile plaster on his face. As much he hate to admit it but he start to getting soft ever since enter this World. Perhaps because he finally break free from Curse of Hatred due to failure of his final plan. Oh don't get him wrong, he still will kill innocent without hesitate to reach his goal if necessary but now he at least can enjoy a moment like what Ise and Raynare went through
"Maybe now I'm more Human than I was..." He muttered before walk away to his room
Next day, 08:00AM
Ise cracked his both his knuckle as he stare at the Church not far from his position. He come early in morning because everyone still school now, Madara also create simple clone that transform into him and enter the school. So no one will be suspicious when he done with this Church
Gone his normal outfit, now it replaced by high collared black long sleeved shirt, top of it button open to reveal some part of his chest. He also wear long black leather jeans and boots, there red gauntlets for boxing on both his hands. He wear scarf that cover most his face
And finally, there symbol of Sharingan on back of his shirt. It was used as Akatsuki symbol in here rather than red cloud
'I won't need Balance Breaker, a simple Taijutsu and Magic will be enough to beat them all.' He thought as he stare at the gate, he then approach the church before sense there invisible Boundary Field that surround the place
Shrugging, he immediately entered and alarmed the people inside the church. He open the gate and enter it, as soon he did that he granted by view of exorcist that ready for him
"Before you ask, I'm lazy to explain why I'm here but I come here to kill you all. So now let's go to act rather than talk." Ise said to them before he inhale massive amount of air and then breath out wave of flames to the group
Many exorcists able to dodge just in time due to their instinct and battle experience. However many also not and the flame burn them immediately, turned them to ash. The flame Ise spew out not normal flame after all, it was Dragon Flame, flame that stronger than Phoenix flame
Ise immediately dashed, he appear in front of one exorcist and deliver heel kick to his face, crushing his skull and send him to crash to the furniture of church
He ducked under one exorcist that attempt to slash him and grab the exorcist robe before lift him up with one hand and throw him to another attacker. Then he bend his body and dodge two bullets that shoot at him, he dashed to the shooter with fast speed, reappear in front of them before grab both their heads and smack it to each other
Using the body, he lift it and use the exorcist body as shield just in time to cover him from numerous bullets that launched to him. He then jump away from the body and dropped to the ground with fast, he deliver axe kick to one shooter before kick another one
He then paused as he notice most exorcists now seems wary at him and they try to be very cautious to attack. Ise only smirked before both his hands engulfed in flames, make them tensed
"Tell Satan that Hyoudou Issei sent you there!" Ise declared before he extend both his fist "Karyū no Yokugeki! (Fire Dragon's Wing Attack)" He roared as he spin his body 360, the flames extended like whip and it formed into small hurricane flames that burn everything around him
The exorcists try to escape but they too close and all of them immediately engulfed in flames, turned to ash as soon the flame eat them
Ise observe his surrounding after he done, the flame he made already spreading and he only have 10 minutes max before this building collapse
'More than enough to kill them...' Ise thought as he start to walking, however his nose then caught something and he grinned
From the basement come out four figure, he immediately recognize them as Calawarner, Mittelt, Dohnaseek and the leader, Ariel. Each of them have their wing already sproud out from their back
"What bring you here, mongrel?" Ariel sneered and Ise merely silence "Not much talk aren't you? Well then let me send you to your doom!" A numerous magic circle appear above her and all of them shoot ice beam
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
As the ice hit Ise, Dohnaseek on Ariel side snorted "Over already? I knew we should hire stronger exorcist..." He said
"Can't be helped, we have to hire as low as possible to stay low and we only get Freed but now he's outside. That man always crazy like usual..." Mittelt grumbled
"You three... Attack him..." Ariel ordered
"What?" Calawarner blinked
FWOOOSH!
Suddenly flame explode from where the Ise stand before. The ice and everything around him vaporize under the heat, the Sekiryuutei appear unharmed from his location, not even dirt on his cloth and his scarf
There intense silence as Ise stare at them. His face is void of all emotion and only focus his gaze to Ariel. The fallen angel meet his gaze with narrowed eyes before it widened slightly and she immediately jumped
SLAAASH!
Ariel eyes widened as she see Dohnaseek, Mittelt and Calawarner explode in burst of blood, deep cut adorn their chest as they fall to the ground
'That... That air pressure! No... It enhanced in... Ki? His hand moved so fast that it created sharp wind and he use Ki to improve it power! This man...' Ariel stare at Ise from above as her wings flapped, there interested expression on her face "Who are you?" She demanded
"You may call me... RyūŌji (Dragon Prince)." Ise said "And I'm your executioner..." He stated before flame ignited in both his fists, he clap them together and send massive fireball to Ariel
The fallen angel eyes widened at the denseness and heat of the flame. She extend both palm and giant magic circle formed on it, a thick barrier of ice formed and it held against the flame
Then she separate both her palms and the flame dispersed, she stare down at Ise, her face is serious and there few sweat pour down from her forehead
"Dragon..." She muttered grimly "I never thought I will meet one in here. Why you come here?" She knew the situation as soon she find out this man is Dragon, he not to be underestimated
"As I said, I come here to kill you. My reason? I have been hired to rescue that girl..." Ise said simply make Ariel eyes widened
'Impossible! Who? Is it Vasco?! But Kokabiel-sama already make him lost that girl trail!' Ariel thought as he recall the wielder of Durandal "Then you should know Dragon, you come here only to meet your slayer!" She declared as suddenly dozens of blue icy spears and filled with light element formed behind her
"I wouldn't be so sure if I were you." Ise smirked before flame ignited from both his arms, engulf it until reach elbow
"IF you were me. Fortunately, I'm not you. Now die!" Ariel rain down the whole spears as it launched to Ise in below
Ise dashed from his position, he twist his body and bend it as he dodge the projectiles that rain down to him. He skidded as dodge the spear that impaled in front of him, rising his flaming hand, he destroy few spears that almost hit him
He flipped as he dodge a wave of ice beam that shooted by Ariel before his flaming hand blazing, with quick he brought his hand and swing it, sending wave of flame that soar to Ariel and cut through the fallen angel attack
Ariel flap her wings and she dodged however Ise already anticipated this. His elbow and leg explode in flames, boosting his speed, he appear in front of unprepared fallen angel and deliver strong thrust to her face
The attack hit Ariel straight, she swear she can feel her jaw just broken as she soar down and fall to the ground. However Ise not done, he gather flames in both his hand and it swirl around it
"Karyū no Rasenbakufū (Fire Dragon's Spiralling Blast)" He send down massive of swirling sphere of blazing flame down to Ariel
The fallen angel who just stand had wide eyes before her World turned to bright flame
BOOOOOOOOM!
Unknown Location
Meanwhile in another side of the World, where it was bright and shine in Japan this side is filled with darkness and light from moon. There group of people that surround two figures
These group wearing noble robes and garment that show they are nobility but most thing that caught normal people eyes is the black bat wing that sprout from their back
The two people that they surround is man and girl...
The man is quite tall. He have long blue spiky hair that tied into ponytail and reach below his shoulder, red eyes and wearing armor that resemblance of hunter, but is free of the full-body tights. On his hand is long red crimson spear
The girl is short, almost like 10 year old girl. She has blue eyes and long black hair with a fringe and long bangs either side of her face. She wearing black lolita outfit with a black parasol. She carrying little fan on her left hand
However despite the difference of the two there one thing that same about them. There symbol of certain red eyes that only possessed by Uchiha in their outfit
"Ryōken no Akatsuki (Hound of Rising Sun), Ōjo Kūgeki no Akatsuki (Queen Void of Rising Sun). Today is the last day you two interfere with our plan!" The leader of the Devil group stated sternly
Ryōken, the blue haired man only chuckled "Eh? The last devil from your faction also said same thing, but here I am live and they dead." He said simply "So, how you find us anyway? I'm sure we hide ourselves pretty well, our escape plan also flawless." He asked to the group curiously as if they are old friend rather enemy
"How we find out is none of your business! Now die!" The leader growled before he shoot demonic energy to the spearman
However just before the attack can hit, suddenly both Ryōken and Ōjo gone as if they never there thus the attack got one of his allies instead
"They gone!"
"Where are they?!"
"There!"
One devil pointed to some direction and they turn to see the two of Akatsuki members not far from their position
"You know I can deflect that attack without problem right?" Ryōken asked
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not in mood to fight if you wish to brawl against those peasant you can do it by yourself Dog." Ōjo scoffed and Ryōken laughed
"Ah, Ojou-chan you so cold!"
THWACK!
"Ite! Oi chibi! What's that-"
THWACK!
"Mind your words Dog, I never said I allow you to call me like that." Ōjo warned and Ryōken only rolled his eyes "Then again, giving your ancestor status I shouldn't surprise seeing your manner like Dog too."
"Whatever, give me few seconds and I will finish this." He said as he step forward while twirling his lance "And don't call me dog!" He snarled
"Dog..." Ōjo repeated like it normal tittle and Ryōken grumbled under his breath
"What you waiting for?!" The Leader barked "Attack them!" He pointed to the spearman. But to his shock, the blue haired man already gone 'What? Where is-'
SQUELCH!
Pain suddenly hit his chest as blood spurt out from his mouth, he turned down and see the crimson lance sprout out from his chest
'I-Impossible... So... Fast...'
Ryōken pull out his lance while kicking the leader body away. He send grin to all devils who stared at him with shock
"Kill him!"
All Devils immediately shoot large demonic blast, it come from everywhere like rain and the numbers even also large. However Ryōken not even intimidated, he only grip his lance more tight, crimson blood aura leaked from the spear and he grinned
He then rise his lance before hold it in horizontal stance and twirl it like helicopter rotor blade. All the numerous and countless attack blocked, deflected, destroyed and negated as the spearman hold his ground
And with single swing, the final attack is gone. His grin become more feral as his red eyes seems glowing "My turn..."
With speed that impossible for Human, Ryōken launched himself to the group, he appear in middle of the group before deliver spinning slash, slicing one devil in two. Then he ducked and deliver uppercut slash to another before he disappear in blue flash again
Ōjo watching her partner from far massacre the whole group. The number is quite many, there hundred of them at least but none of their attack able to hit Ryōken, they all went down one by one with fast like sheep that goes to slaughter house
She only grunted while open her fan and wave herself, this place really start to hot and bore her. She want to go their base with fast
Her eyes then caught there few of Devil who wanted to escape by summoning magic circle and she made noise with her tongue, her cute and beauty face adorned by scowl
She snap close her fan and suddenly the teleportation magic circle that used by Devil glowing before it turned to purple and suddenly numerous dark violet chain come out from it, piercing the devils that try to escape
"Who give you permission to leave, mongrel?" Ōjo asked with slight sneer "You dare to come and waste my time then try to escape that easy?" She said in cold tone "Heh, may your remains lightened my mood." She stated before she click her fingers
Suddenly the glowing purple magic circle glowing more bright before it explode in dark hole. Ryōken who in middle of slicing his enemy had wide eyes before jump away as the black hole suddenly pull all the remaining devils who now screaming and try to flee
But the gravity is too strong, one devil stab his fingers to ground to prevent from absorbed but even the ground itself fly and also sucked to the hole
As all devils gone, the black hole also slowly gone and what remain is only large crater as if the ground in that place before never exist
"Oi, oi! You said you didn't want to fight?!" Ryōken growled "Warn me if you want to pull something like that!"
"Hmph! You taking your time too long Dog. I want to go back and enjoy warm bath already and I had no intention to be delayed more than this." Ōjo scoffed as she see Ryōken approach her while put back his lance on his back
"You really spoiled brat aren't you? Man why can't I got Ise as my partner." Ryōken sighed as he really wish he partnered with Ise who sadly now in private mission from his boss
THWACK!
"Ouch!"
"Hmph! Do you think I wish to stay with you, I, myself also wish to be with Hyoudou than you. Or that Holy Maiden of Virgin is better.." Ōjo snorted after hit the man with her fan
"You and your obsession, why the hell you want to be with Ise so much?" Ryōken growled while rubbing the lump on his head
"Fool. Don't assume I have romantic feeling to that man." She scoffed "While I won't deny Hyoudou company not bad but I only want him as my pet. Heavenly Dragon is majestic being after all, it was a beast that represent power and aura of dominance!" She spoke with clear awe "And such animal only proper for Queen like me. I will put collar to him one day and make him call me his Queen!" Maju declared with haught expression make Ryōken rolled his eyes
'This is why I hate Babylonia...' He grumbled in his mind, really this girl arrogance and haughtiness she express is something else. She only slight humble to Madara and SEE the keyword only "SLIGHT" not humble fully
"Come, Dog! We will take teleportation, I want my milk bath now. Walking in this disgusting World that filled with mongrel and filth will corrupt my skin..."
"Yeah, yeah Chibi-chan." He said with sigh, really. If he not take vacation this girl attitude going to kill him one day
THWACK!
"Ouch!"
Oh yeah, Ryōken really going to take vacation. A little visit to Ise will be good perhaps...
Yeps! Done in here!
