Chapter 3
Third Person POV
Over the next day Asia and Raynare came to reach a safe place among the other students of Kuoh after having them enrolled overnight. It was after the last class of the day that an uproar caused by the entrance of Yuuto Kiba that Issei knew Rias Gremory was suspicious as Kiba and Kurosaki stopped in front of their group.
"Rias Gremory, our club president wants to speak with you, could you come with us please?" Kiba asked.
"Fine." Issei sighed and they were led out of the school building with Kurosaki warily watching Raynare which, if he was honest, Issei understood.
They were led into the Occult Research Clubroom which, in itself was nice and behind a Victorian style desk sat a beautiful young woman who appeared to be in her late teens with milky skin, blue eyes and a buxom figure. Her most distinctive feature was her long beautiful crimson hair that reached down to her thighs, with a ahoge sticking out from the top. Her hair also had loose bangs covering her forehead and side bangs framing her face. She wore the Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform, which consisted of a white long-sleeved, button-down shirt with a black ribbon on her shirt collar worn under a black shoulder cape and a matching button-down corset, a magenta skirt with white accents, and brown dress shoes over white crew-length socks.
Beside her was a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure around the same age as Rias with very long black hair and violet eyes. Her hair is usually tied in a long ponytail, reaching all the way down to her legs with two strands sticking out from the top and sloping backwards, with an orange ribbon keeping it in place. She wore the Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform, along with black knee-high socks.
These were Rias Gremory, A member of the Gremory Devil Clan, and Akeno Himejima, her Queen.
"Hello, I'm Rias Gremory, but you already knew that, so Issei Hyodou and Lucia Alice Valentine let's begin this with you two, we've been gracious to let you and this Vampire stay in my territory and when you turned a student into a vampire we let it slide, but now you've been given too much free reign, who are you both, really?" Rias asked.
"Well Miss Gremory, I'm a man of many talents, a smooth politician, a powerful fighter, and a powerful Devil, but most of all, I'm not a human, I'm not an Angel or Fallen Angel, I'm not a Monster or a Youkai, and I'm not a Dragon, but I'm not a normal Devil, I'm not a Super Devil, like your Brother either." Issei informed.
"Then what are you?" Rias asked.
"The one and only Devil God of course." Issei said.
"You're saying you are Satan?" She asked skeptically.
"I am and I can prove it." He said happily.
"How?" Rias asked.
"With this." Issei informed and reached out his hand disappearing and when he pulled out a set of golden armor.
"These belonged to the original Lucifer," He then pulled out a apple, but this wasn't any normal apple, it was golden,"An Apple of Eden," With that he reached in a final time and pulled out a black broadsword with silver, gothic cross-guard with 'Satan, Devil God' inscribed in the hilt,"My sword."
The group, including Asia and Raynare, minus Lucia stared in surprise.
"Just as it was described..." Rias said.
"What about Miss Valentine?" She asked regaining her composure.
"I am not a normal Vampire, of course, in reality normal Vampires can't make other people into vampires, I am... special, I am a Shinso Vampire, the First Vampire and Servant of Satan." She informed.
"Servant? Why?" She asked confused.
"Shinso Vampires are the First Vampires created and bound to a being's life force and to serve them." Lucia explained.
"How many of you are there?" Akeno asked.
"Three as far as I know, unless my schopfer made more and I wasn't told." she informed.
"Your creator?" Akeno asked.
"Yes, I am a being created by the God from the Bible to serve my Meister." She answered.
"And what are you feelings about the job you were given?" Kiba asked.
"I am happy with my place in life, Meister is kind to me and I live a life that gives me purpose, I have no idea what else I could do really." She answered smiling for the first time since entering the room.
"Do you know the other two?" Rias asked.
"Of course I know my schwestern." She said.
"Your sisters?" Asia asked.
"Yes, but that is beside the point, we should be getting home Meister." Lucia informed looking to a clock on the wall.
"Yes, how about this Gremory, you leave me to my devices and tell no one of my existence and I'll do you a favor of your choosing." Issei informed.
"Y-yes." She stammered, immediately flustered.
'Never did I even dream of having a favor from Satan himself.' The crimson haired heiress thought.
The next week passed without incident and Issei and his group, including Aika, were added to the Occult Research Club in case they needed a way to get out of class and Rias and her peerage learned the delights of Lucia's cooking and Issei's teaching Asia of the truth behind the Three Factions, his friendship and partnership with God, who they learned took a female form when they were younger, though not even he was sure if that was just preference or the actual gender. This went unimpeded until Issei's group arrived with ice cream cake one day hoping to share and perhaps learn a bit more about the Evil Pieces(more for issei's sake than any others). They stopped outside the door when the felt two more demonic prescences than usual and neither were familiar, instead of maintaining his cover, he decided, why not and opened the door,
"Yo Rias, we're here Lucia took more time with today's treat." Issei informed walking in and setting down one of the cakes they'd brought.
"You interrupted our meeting for cake!" A blonde boy in a burgundy blazer with gold embroidery on the right with matching pants and black dress shoes. Underneath his open blazer was a white dress shirt that was not fully buttoned (just one button short), giving a slight view to his chest.
"Oh a Phenex, nice little birdie, do be quiet or I'll throw a blanket over you." Issei said in fake kindness as he moved on to the other unfamiliar Devil in the room, a beautiful woman appearing to be in her early twenties, with silver hair and matching eyes. Her hair, which flowed all the way down to her back, featured a long braid on each side with small blue bows at the ends, while the rest was let down, ending in twin braids. she wore a blue and white French maid outfit with long sleeves and a white maid headband over her head, with red lipstick as a cosmetic accessory.
"Hello Milady, we haven't me before, my name is Issei Hyodou, a simple wandering Devil, what might your name be?" Issei asked kissing her hand.
She blinked,"I am Grayfia Lucifuge, Queen of Sirzechs Lucifer."
"Ah." Issei said in acknowledgment.
"Oi! Don't ignore me you peasant!" The Phenex Devil yelled sending a fire ball at Issei.
Issei looked at the fireball and, to everyone's surprise, caught it.
"Hmm, I've seen better from you clan, I must say though, you are quite sloppy, overconfident perhaps?" Issei asked.
"Issei, meet Raiser Phenex a member of the Phenex and unfortunately my fiance." Rias informed.
"Hmm, do remember that favor I owe you." Issei hinted.
'Huh?' Rias asked herself internally then he processes what he said,'Does he mean to reveal himself?'
"Very well, I wish to have my arranged marriage resolved and if you make that happen I'll consider the favor payed." Rias said smirking.
"What are you suggesting Rias?" Raiser asked.
"Raiser Phenex, I challenge you and with the permission of Sirzechs Lucifer and Lord Gremory or Lord and Lady Phenex, if possible, to have a wager of sorts." Issei said turning to Grayfia.
"Very well, I'll speak with Lord Lucifer, Lord Gremory, Lord Phenex, and Lady Phenex." Grayfia informed and after 30 minutes she had gone and spoken with the four and come back.
"Lord Phenex, Lord Lucifer, and Lord Gremory are interested You have permission, what is this wager?" Grayfia asked.
"I will send forward one servant and if Raiser loses the marriage is dissolved and in return for my services I want a set of Evil Pieces, however if he wins, he can chose one of my servants and they belong to him." Issei informed.
"You, a peasant, have servants?" Raiser asked.
"I have servants, my equivalent to a Queen, Lucia, my equivalent to a Rook, Aika, and my equivalent to a bishop Asia." Issei informed indicating the three.
"Ha, I agree to your terms!" Raiser said cockily.
Another conversation with the interested parties and Grayfia returned.
"It is agreeable that should you win you get what you ask for, but what keeps you from backing out?" Grayfia asked.
"Sirzechs is suspicious of me huh?" Issei asked,"Very well, since I won't be sending Asia to fight she will wait with Lucifer and until the victor is decided and the winner gets his prize, she will be in his care, is that agreeable to you Asia?"
"I understand Issei, I'll agree." Asia said surprised.
Grayfia nodded.
An Hour Later
Raiser stood waiting in an arena for Issei to choose who to fight him.
Sirzechs stood beside him having just told Issei to choose.
"Lucia, make me proud." Issei ordered.
"Of course Meister, I will not lose!" She said.
"Aika, you might want to watch closely, this is a level you might reach eventually." Issei whispered as the battle was being announced.
"Begin." Grayfia's voice over the intercom announced.
Meanwhile Rias sat in one of the observation rooms hoping and praying to Satan(who she had ironically trusted to fight this battle) that she was right to trust Issei.
As soon as begin was announced Riser threw a fireball, testing Lucia's strength, she boredly knocked it away without effort.
Sending another, this time stronger, he found this to be just as effective.
"Do you wish to begin now?" Lucia asked bored,"Or is that all you have to offer?"
"Don't mock me!" Raiser yelled rushing forward and sending a fire covered fist at her head. It made contact, but none of the spectators nor Raiser could see any reaction, not even a blink. Surprised he stepped a few feet away.
"A pity, I believe it is my turn now." Lucia said and rushed forward in an instant she stood with her fist in front of his face and a shock wave sent him flying into the side of the arena.
"Hmph, I think you deserve more than that." Lucia said her eyes darkening.
She waved her hand and Raiser went flying into another arena wall leaving a indentation in the wall.
"Not enough." Lucia stated taking one step back, waiting.
Raiser stood and growled. He rushed forward and began a barrage of quick flame covered punches at her. She stood still, showing no sign of damage.
"Blut, Schatten." Lucia said and Raiser blinked when he found a gun pointed in his face.
"Bang." She stated and a bullet went straight through his head causing him to step back and wait to heal.
He looked at the weapon that had just harmed him. It was a pistol which she had two almost identical copies of. It was a pistol with gold engraving on it's grip and barrel. On it's frame was a triangular attachment that bore a gothic B on one and a gothic S on the other, from each grip came two white tassels.
"Guns?" Raiser wondered aloud.
"Orichalcum guns made specifically to use magic bullets, Shadow Bullets." She said and began shooting Raiser, surprised Raiser tried to dodge but Lucia simply moved with him and he began being peppered with holes. She soon stopped and waited for him to regenerate and the two guns dissipated into shadows.
"Why get rid of them?" Raiser asked.
"I don't need them, however, I'll give you a chance Raiser Phenex hit me with your best shot." Lucia said.
Growling Raiser summoned a ball of flames into his hands and threw it at laughed and let the ball begin to dissipate thinking he'd put enough into the attack to damage her. When he could see her, his eyes widened as her wounds regenerated.
"What?!" He yelled and threw several more giant balls of fire.
"Raiser Phenex, I've played this game long enough. I think it is time I stop holding back, I'm annoyed by weakening my body to make this interesting, I thought it might entertain Meister more to see you acting confident in the face of certain defeat, however, I've decided to fully enact punishment on you, no more games." She growled walking from the flames completely unharmed, not even regenerating, just not taking damage.
"Game? Punishment?" Raiser asked.
"Yes, this is a farce of a battle, I am demeaning myself to even show fake damage simply to see if Meister finds your ignorance more entertaining. However, your words still deserve punishment, earlier you sullied Meister's name with your ignorance and I cannot allow that to continue nor can I ignore your former words. For your impudence, the punishment..." She paused in her movement.
"... Is the wrath of a Shinso Vampire..." She growled rushing forward even faster than before.
When in range she punched sending Raiser flying, instead of letting him hit the wall she rushed in the way of his flight and punched him in the stomach causing spittle and blood to fly through the air and a resounding crack! to fill the arena. Giving him no time to recover she began barraging him with punches causing more cracks to sound, bruises began appearing and blood after it, only to be replaced by more as he regenerated.
Meanwhile in the booth with Sirzechs, Lord Gremory, Grayfia, Lord and Lady Phenex, and Asia, Lady Phenex watched in horror as her son being beaten around like a rag doll.
"Gruesome I must say, but one must wonder who is he to have her feel for him so?" Lord Gremory asked.
"Yes though what she said... She couldn't really be a Shinso like in Zekram Bael's books, there were only three known Shinso, and each had a Master they followed." Lord Phenex said curious.
Suddenly all eyes turned as Issei entered the room.
"She truly is a Shinso, I'm sure you must have realized by now who I am Sirzechs Lucifer, after all, you took my son's name rather well, of course you fit better with a leading title than that dunderhead." Issei said with a disappointed look.
"What does he mean Sirzechs?" Lord Gremory asked.
"You're Satan aren't you?" Sirzechs asked.
"Yes, I am, I can prove it the way I did to your sister or I could prove it in the better way." Issei said laughing.
"Prove it then." Sirzechs said.
With that 14 Devil wings spread from his back.
"The 14 wings of the Monarch of Darkness, wings that spread fear in the enemies and brought down many a army with their sight alone." Sirzech said seemingly quoting.
"Yes, I know of your own... Mutation shall we say and I'm proud that a member of my race achieved it." Issei said.
"Why are you here? What is it you really want?" Lord Gremory asked.
"Me, I merely want some Evil Pieces, i can leave running the Underworld to the four that have done it for so long, however, just as the Bael could override your decisions, I override theirs." Issei smirked.
"So, you're saying, you're a final say if we want to deal with Zekram or Lord Bael and they try to override us?" Sirzechs asked.
"Yes." He replied.
"Please stop this!" Lady Phenex pleaded watching as her son's regeneration began to slow.
"One of us needs to surrender for our fighter, one of you for Raiser or me for Lucia." Issei said quickly.
"I surrender for Raiser, just stop her!" The blonde woman yelled and by now Raiser was barely standing bones visible through his legs, one of his ribs was coming out of his stomach, and his arm was bent in an unnatural angle.
Issei as soon as the magic barrier around the arena dropped jumped down with gliding over and stood tall his eyes turning black as he spoke commandingly,"Lucia stop this instant!"
His voice had a strange echo to it and the mark she carried pridefully began to glow with an impossible black light through her blood stained clothing and she fell to the ground writhing in pain not even able to release what could only be a blood curdling scream. After a few moments of this the glow faded and Lucia was panting and turned to where Issei was but didn't raise her gaze from his feet.
"Meister I-" She began only for him to cut her off.
"Quiet! You've gone too far Lucia, you'll be properly punished later, get up and follow me!" He shouted angrily while Raiser was carried off so he could heal properly.
And done that's chapter 3 for you, as usual questions will be answered, reviews are appreciated, and next chapter will come around when I finish it. Also should Toshiro have a harem.
Issei's harem: Lucia, Asia, Rias, Irina(you'll see why It is a definite at a later date),(others added upon request)
