Skylar's P.O.V
Issei began the chant for what Koneko-chan informed me is his 'True Queen' mode. I finally get to see him at his full power. A light engulfs him and when it dissipates Issei emerges in a much darker and much cooler set of armour. Well If he's showing off I guess I will as well, I unfurl my wings revealing 8 golden Angel wings riddled with black streaks. Issei and I are both staring each other down waiting for the other to make the first move. I can't take this anymore, I rush towards Issei at half of my full speed I hold back temporarily to judge his reaction time.
As I bring my right arm around for a hook to Issei's jaw he brings up his arm to block it. I see the armour on his right knee thicken as he strikes it up towards my mid-section. I jump back and dodge the blow which could have been awfully painful. I charge at him again but this time I use my full pace, I land a jab to his stomach before rising my knee towards his chin which connects. He stumbles back slightly and I use this opening to hit him in the solar plexus causing a spluttering cough from the crimson clad demon.
I started to wonder why I was prolonging this. I rush forward once more but this time it is not for a strike at him. I grab Issei's arms and restrain them. The force from my stop forces my hair from in front of my left eye revealing a black eye with a golden pupil. "Stay still. Don't move." I say to him quietly. Issei's arms dropped to his sides and I forge a sword made completely of holy energy. I swing the sword towards Issei's neck but before it makes contact I hear someone yell out stop. I look over to see that it is Rias-sama who is breathing heavily from watching our little sparring session. "So did I pass" I say calmly.
"Well, you may have beaten Ise but you don't over power him with brute force. Which is what our group is known for." She brought up a fair point I didn't completely blow him away, although I have an idea.
"Rias-sama, could you please fire your strongest attack at me?" I said with a gentle smile, as if I hadn't almost just killed one of her servants. "Skylar, you will die!" She said as a warning
"If I survive can you guarantee me a place as your servant." She must have caught on that I was up to something by now. "Fine. If you survive I will have you as one of my servants. It'll take a while to charge so prepare yourself." I walk until I'm about 15 meters in front of her. As I see her hair begin to lift as if it was weightless and everyone around her take a couple of steps back I realise the strength that is going to be behind this attack. I suppose they don't call her the princess of destruction for no reason.
Rias-sama's attack has fully charged and has been hurled towards me. It's a giant ball off demonic energy, thankfully it moves at an extremely slow pace so I have time to engage my counter attack. I began to grow my own ball of demonic energy in my hands, but mine is a little different from Rias-sama's. There are swirls of white weaving their way through it, holy energy to clarify. It's growing at about double the pace of Rias-sama's but it's still not enough. Magic circles begin to surround the ball that is about 5 feet in diameter. A relatively large chested woman with white hair is the first to notice what type it is. "That's an Elven defence spell." In the time it took her to complete that sentence my ball had grown another foot totalling 6 feet. Rias-sama's ball attack was about three meters in front of me before I released my attack and jumped backwards so I was out of the blast radius.
The two balls collided and fought for power with each other for about three seconds before my attack destroyed Rias-sama's and continued its way towards them. The look of shock and fear was evident on their faces as this ball of death continued towards them. I clapped my hands together and the ball dissipated in to nothing. "Convinced yet?" I say with a smug grin. Rias-sama can only get out a nod and a look of shock is still plastered on her face, I guess that can be expected though, her strongest attack was just wiped out I walked up to her and my hand darted inside of her pocket and pull out the queen piece (I know I'm a guy but the queen has the most power. Don't judge me). I took the piece in my hand and they began to glow again. They glow faded and I held out the queen mutation piece I had just made in front of her.
I laid on the floor in front of her and she knelt down beside me placing the piece on my chest. It sank down and I could immediately feel the boost in power my holy blood was fighting it yet my demonic blood was relishing every second. My body calmed down and I rose off the floor, slowly to make sure that I didn't collapse again halfway up. After I had a firm footing on the ground Rias-sama spoke. "Skylar Beelzebub. You are acknowledged as a servant of Rias Gremory, and as a servant of mine you shall obey my every command. Do you accept these conditions?" Rias-sama spoke in a very dignified tone, I couldn't help but to pledge allegiance to her… For now.
"Rias-sama, I accept these conditions and I am at your command." I said crouching to one knee and bowing my head.
"With that said" Rias-sama was apparently going to give me my first order. "Get off the floor Skylar, and from now on just call me Rias" She said with a smile, it appears that the princess of destruction was extremely kind to her servants.
Walking towards the elevator I felt something gripping on to my shirt, I turn around to see Koneko-chan I all her cuteness looking up at me, even if it was just her trademark blank stare. "Skylar-san. When did you learn Rias-buchou's attack?" She said with a curious tone.
"Aha, the funny thing about it is… I read her mind to see what technique she was using." I said a little embarrassed and scratching the back of my head. Looking back at it now it probably wasn't the right thing to do.
"And how exactly did you do that?" She said, her voice had changed a little, it wasn't an angry tone but it was a little more aggressive than her usual speaking voice.
"That would be with this." I lifted my fringe from out of my face to reveal that horrid thing that I'm ashamed of. My eye that was black as night with the golden ray of light shining through that was the pupil. Koneko-chan seemed to be dumbfounded and she took a small step back. Great… now she was scared of me, this happened the last time I started to get somewhat close to people. I let out a sad sigh and let my hair fall back across my face
"Skylar-san, what exactly is that?" Much to my surprise there was no fear in Koneko-chan's voice, there was only a small amount of curiousness which made me smile somewhat.
"I guess you call it a sacred gear." I paused for a second to get my words right. "Well you should call it that because that's what it is." Koneko-chan nodded to show that she was following along. "It's called 'The Eye of The Beholder', and it can do a lot of things." I said it like this to invoke more curiosity in the girl.
"Such as?" She was playing right into my hands and I let out an internal chuckle
"Well, I know that you're a nekomata and that you're birth name isn't Koneko, and that the other nekomata is your elder sister. Need I go on?" I said this with a smirk. She took a step back. "Skylar-san… Please stay out of my past, it's not something I like to share." Her expression had dropped and it looked as if she was about to cry. I felt horrible, I needed to make it up to her.
"Koneko-chan, if I were to show you my past would that make us even?" I said with a gentle tone, she looked back up to me and wiped the traces of tears from her eyes. Koneko-chan simply nodded, with her glowing golden eyes seemingly staring straight into the darkest parts of my mind .I crouched down so I was looking directly into Koneko-chan's eyes, once again I lifted my fringe to reveal the disgusting secret that was hidden beneath it.
