Chapter 3
Rias's P.O.V
Ise came back from school extremely excited. He told me he had met a very interesting person, which caused me to inquire about this person. He told me that it was Ajuka-sama's son. This information confused me extreme amounts as there had been no news of Ajuka-sama having any children which seemed extremely peculiar as being Lucifer my elder brother knows about all of the goings on in the devil faction of the underworld. But to make things even stranger he also claimed the Gabriel of the angels was his mother which seems like a very odd case because apart from special cases like Akeno Holy and Demonic powers should not be able to be in the same body. I heard Koneko-chan and someone speaking near the front door, apparently he had already arrived. I guess it was time to meet him.
Seeing him standing next to Koneko-chan I could see that he was taller than Ise he had a better build than Ise his presence was stronger and damn was he beautiful. If I didn't already have Ise I would have been all over him in a heartbeat. I took a deep breath and told myself to calm down, I had to keep my composure if I was going to keep my cool.
Skylar's P.O.V
She was absolutely stunning, second only to Koneko-chan. So this was the acclaimed Rias Gremory. She just kinda stood there staring at me I wasn't sure iof she was analysing me or just having a perv her face revealed nothing. I needed to break the silence I was starting to feel really awkward. "I'm Skylar Asteroth, it's nice to meet you." I was nervous as hell I just realised where I had heard the name.
She was heiress to the Gremory house and was quite possibly the next Lucifer. This girl had so much power and her presence was quite frightening, I definitely didn't want to get on her bad side. "I am Rias Gremory, heiress to the Gremory house. And master to all but four people in this house." She was extremely polite and presented herself well, as expected of a high-class devil.
"I hope I'm not being rude but I wish to join your group if that would be okay." Straight and to the point I figured that would be the best course of action for someone like this. But I hoped I didn't come off rude.
"First of all, I don't know how strong you are. I'm not sure if you've heard but our group tends to overpower our enemies with brute force. And also even if I wanted to let you join I have no pieces left." She said this matter-of-factly good thing I had one last plan up my sleeve.
"You mean pieces like these?" I closed my hands then gently started to open them, and one by one dark grey chess pieces started appearing beginning with the queen and going all the way down to the very last pawn. She just looked at me in complete and utter shock.
"Yeah… like those." It sounded like she couldn't believe what had just happened before her eyes. "But even so. Those are dark grey my pieces have always been red and even if they were red they still don't belong to me." I looked at Rias-sama with a smirk
"Are you sure they don't belong to you?" I said smugly. "can you please pass me your hand for a second?"
Rias-sama hesitantly did as I asked. I pricked her wrist with a needle I had in my pocket and a small stream of blood trickled from her wrist onto the pieces in my hands. I closed my hands with the pieces still inside. And my hands began to glow, when I opened them crimson red pieces glowed in my hands and they floated through the air into Rias-sama's pocket.
"Now they belong to you, any arguments?" I was feeling extremely arrogant and confident, everything was going exactly as planned.
"Alright, I may have pieces now but that doesn't that I will let you join us. We still have no idea how strong you are or what your abilities are." She appeared as if she was trying to regain her composure from the spectacle she had just seen.
"If you wanted to see what I can do why didn't you say so?" I said with a smirk and a wink causing a falter from the crimson haired devil.
Rias-sama appeared to say something to herself with her hand on her heart, I think I may have been a little out of line there. With new found respect for the woman that stood in front of me I asked "So where exactly am I supposed to be showcasing these powers?" I raised an eyebrow at the end.
"Well Skylar If you follow me I shall show you to the training grounds."
We walked to the stairs and Rias-sama slid back a panel on the side revealing an elevator. Walking into it I saw that this house also had six basement levels as well, I guess that just goes to show how much money the Gremory's have. 3 people entered the elevator with me Rias-sama, Koneko-chan and a third girl with long black hair, we hadn't been introduced yet. Rias-sama pressed basement floor button I didn't pay much attention to which one it was (I probably should have) and we began our descent.
Stepping out of the elevator into the vast space before me I looked in amazement at how big this area was but I'd still probably have to hold back a bit. Or I could just create a new dimension that's what I did to avoid levelling the underworld for all those years. "So who am I fighting?" I inquired curiously. Then I felt an arm sling around my shoulder.
"That'd be me man." I looked to the side to see Issei's smiling face. What a good guy he lets me into his home, lets me meet his master and now He's giving me the privilege of defeating the current Sekiryuutei.
Issei's P.O.V
When my arm landed on him I felt it, Skylar was not one You would want to fuck with. The I heard Ddraig Talking to me [It's a good thing that this guy isn't one of our enemies partner, as he is, there is no comparison.]
I knew he was strong but I had no idea that there was that much of a difference… Just from his presence I knew that he was stronger than Vali, He could probably even go head to head with Sirzechs-sama "You ready to get started?" I asked him in my usual light hearted tone but his whole face had changed the smile had disappeared from his face and the light from his one visible eye. Then he spoke "Get the blonde one down here, and the one with the blue hair." His voice didn't really seem to come from his mouth but emanate from his entire being, he was a terrifying individual.
"May I ask why" I was curious as to why those two.
"The blonde one is a healer If I'm not mistaken, and I felt the power of Excalibur and Durandal coming from the blue haired one, I wish to duel her once I'm done with you." His arrogance seemed to suit him perfectly the amount of power coming from him was mind blowing.
"Fine I will get Rias to call the two down." I turned my head toward my girlfriend and nodded and entered the elevator leaving Koneko-chan and Akeno behind. To spectate the match between Skylar and myself
Rias's P.O.V
What the fuck was that… He doesn't even know Asia and Xenovia by name and yet he knows their abilities. And what was with when he spoke? His voice was so harsh. He's obviously not going to pull any punches. I'm a little afraid for Ise, we have no idea how much Skylar is capable of. Skylar did however seem concerned for Ise's safety. And what did he mean when he said to Ise 'once I'm done with you' He said it like Ise wasn't even going to be a challenge.
Skylar's P.O.V
"Are we going get started or what." I said this quite loudly in an attempt to intimidate Issei it didn't seem to be working though, I didn't show in his face eyes or body language Maybe I should dip into his mind quickly to see what he was really thinking. I close my eyes and the left one feels like someone is trying to pry it out with a spoon. That soon subside and I can hear Issei's thoughts loud and clear. 'Even if I go full power there is no way I can win this.'
That's the line I hear from the all-powerful Sekiryuutei It's laughable. All though I must commend him on his ability to not back down even though he knows he has no chance. I hear the elevator doors open behind me I turn to see Rias-sama with the blonde one and the blue haired one just as I had asked she was however Joined by a large chested Nekomata I guess the crowd is getting bigger and bigger.
"Skylar are you ready?" Issei asked me in is regular laid back tone and donned a red dragon shaped armour.
"I was ready when I got here, let's go." I said coolly shooting a smirk at Koneko-chan as I walked passed her. Time to finally get down to business
