Outsider Chronicles: Devil Fury

Dieing and being reborn into a crazy ass world of Devils, Angels and Monsters is not my idea of a good time. Actually, on second thoughts, it is. Plus, I get an awesome power out of it!

And we're back. Nothing to say, so lets get started. Enjoy!

Chapter 3

The next morning dawned far too early with Dad kicking me out of bed (literally) before dawn and dragging me into the Dojo to continue my punishment for letting someone sneak up on me. I wasn't let go until 7, by which point I really just wanted to go to bed. The fact I was still feeling the effects of overexposure to idiocy (which I wasn't going to forgive Kiba for anytime soon) certainly didn't help matters. With that in mind, it was really no wonder that I was already nursing a headache on my way to school.

"Ohhh, for a decent headache cure," I muttered.

A startled eep and a thud informed me that I really shouldn't have tempted fate. I turned and, sure enough, I got an eyeful of pure white knickers. I sighed and shook my head. Fucking Ecchi Anime. Normally I wouldn't complain, but Asia's so damn innocent I always feel a little guilty for looking.

"Hey there, you OK?" I asked as I offered her a hand.

"Owwee, yes I'm fine," said the girl, taking my hand and letting me pull her to her feet.

As expected, she was wearing a habit, cross and a vial with a blue cross on the forehead.

"Thats great," I said with a grin, "I'm Sora Kusanagi."

"Oh, its nice to meet you Sora, I'm Asia Argento," said the nun before looking around and seeing her suitcase open on the ground with a large number of clothes strewn over the road, including some rather lacy underwear.

"AH!"

She then moved faster than the (human) eye could follow, grabbing all her clothes and shoving them into her suitcase and slamming it shut, her face glowing like a traffic light.

"Ahh, you saw the bad side of me," said Asia, blushing brightly.

I smirked.

"I saw nothing," I said, "So, I take it your new in town?"

Asia nodded.

"Yes, I was just assigned to take care of the church in this area," said Asia, looking down, "But I'm lost."

I glanced at my watch.

"Hmm, well, I've got a bit of time," I said, "I can show you the way."

"Oh, thank you Sora!"

I just smiled and led the way down the street. As we walked, I made a point to point out a few places that were good to visit and generally playing tour guide, despite knowing it was largely pointless. To be honest, I'm not sure why I was showing her around considering the clusterfuck I knew would result in it. Then again, if I left her alone, she'd either end up with Issei or dead in a ditch somewhere, neither of which the Nun deserved. OK, that was a little mean. Issei really wasn't that bad.

We started to head in the direction of the church, but the sound of a child crying drew Asias attention to where a young boy had fallen and scraped his knee. The young Nun quickly hurried over to the boys side.

"A big boy like you shouldn't cry over something like this," she said, despite the fact the boy couldn't understand her.

She cupped her hands over the boys knee and I watched, intrigued as a green glow surrounded them, rapidly healing the boys wound.

"There, all better," she said with a kind smile.

The boy just stared up at Asia in awe, before his mother came over and scolded him for running off.

"Yoshi, where did you run off to?" asked the woman, looking relieved.

"Mom, she healed me!" said the boy excitedly.

His mother looked cautiously at Asia before hurrying her son away, scolding him for running off on his own. I glanced at Asia who looked upset.

"Are you OK?" I asked.

"Oh yes, I fine," said Asia, giving a slightly forced smile.

She certainly didn't look it.

"Thank you big sister!"

We both looked up to see the little boy Asia had just healed waving at her.

"He said thank you," I said.

Asia looked surprised, before she smiled and waved back, earning a massive smile from the little boy.

"Sorry about that," said Asia, "I can be a little meddlesome sometimes."

"No problem," I said, "If more people stopped to help others, the world would be a better place."

Asia smiled at me and moved to pick up her bag.

"Allow me," I said, picking it up for her.

"Ah, no, I couldn't!" she protested.

"Its no problem," I said, "Besides, my Grandpa would kill me if I let a cute girl lug her own bag."

Asia blushed lightly and nodded.

"Thats an interesting power you have," I said as we continued towards the church.

"Y-yes, its a gift from God," said the Nun, "I consider it to be a gift."

"Hmm," I muttered.

She was a bloody terrible liar.

Eventually, we reached the road that lead up to the Church.

"And I'm afraid this is where I must leave you," I said, "If you follow this road up the hill, you'll find the church at the top."

"Thank you for the help and I'm sorry for being a bother," said Asia, "If your ever in the neighborhood, please, come by the Church for a cup of tea."

I chuckled.

"Sorry, but I've never been to comfortable in Churches," I said, "But if we meet out and about, I'll be happy to share a cuppa."

"Oh, OK," said Asia, looking a little down.

I smiled and waved as I headed off to school.

"You are not to go near the Church again Sora," said Rias.

It was after school and I was currently being dressed down by Rias after I absently mentioned meeting Asia.

"I know," I said, "Look, I'm not a complete idiot, I know that going near holy places is a big no no for us, but I didn't go anywhere near it. All I was doing is showing someone new to the area."

Rias sighed.

"Fine, I guess you have a point," she said, "Still, you should be careful. If a Devil receives an Exorcism, they are completely destroyed."

"Don't worry, I have no intention of hanging out with anyone from the Church," I said shortly.

Rias sighed.

"I'm sorry if I seem unreasonable, but I can't help but worry," she said.

"Its fine," I said.

"Pardon me Rias, but somethings come up," said Akeno.

"What is it Akeno?" asked Rias.

"The Archduke has called," said the black haired beauty, "We have orders to take out a Stray Devil."

"Stray?" I asked.

"A Stray Devil is a Devil who has abandoned their master in pursuit of their own desires," explained Rias as Akeno prepared the Teleport Circle, "They also often kill their masters to escape. it always ends badly for all those involved."

With the explanation out of the way, everyone gathered and we headed through the circle and found ourselves standing before a large ruined house.

"Rumour has it that a stray devil has been luring people into this house at night and eating them," said Akano, "The job is simple, search and destroy."

"Gross!" exclaimed Issei.

"Stray Devils are pure evil," said Kiba, "They don't care about anything but their own selfish desires. and that always ends in ugliness."

I just looked around, grimacing at the strong coppery scent of blood that layered the area. While the Falcon didn't enhance my sense of smell as much as some others, that didn't mean that the stench was any better.

"Jeeze that stinks," I muttered, covering my nose with one hand as Koneko nodded in agreement.

"This will be a good opportunity for the two to see how devils fight and the abilities of the different servants," said Rias.

"What do you mean?" asked Issei.

"Are you familiar with the game of chess?" asked Rias.

"Yes, but I'm not very good at it," said Issei.

"Yep, I not a bad player," I said, my voice muffled by my sleave.

"As the master, I'm the king," said Rias, "My empress is the queen, my cavaliere the knight, my tank the rook, my clergyman the bishop and my foot soldier the pawn. Devils of nobility grant the characteristics of these pieces to each of their servants."

"That sounds cool," said Issei.

"We call these our Evil Pieces."

"Why are you telling us this?" asked Issei.

"My guess is that she wants us to watch the others and learn how the other pieces fight," I said, "Right boss?"

Rias nodded.

"The best way to learn about the different pieces to to see them in action," said Rias.

"Its here," said Koneko, looking towards the shadows.

"Oh what is that foul faecal smell?" said a voice with a hint of madness in it, "And something smells quite delicious as well. I wonder if it tastes sweet or bitter."

From the shadows behind a pillar, a figure emerged. It was the upper body of a beautiful woman and was completely naked, something that appealed to Issei immensely.

"I see big boobies!" exclaimed Issei.

I just rolled my eyes and moved my hand to where my collapsed spear was hidden under my jacket. Better safe than sorry.

"Viser you wretch, you betrayed your master and ran away to fulfil the lustful wants and desires that have consumed you," said Rias, "Your sins are worthy of a thousand hells. in the name of the great Marques of Gremory, begone, or meet your death!"

"Oh give it a rest you little slut," said Viser, "You've always had it in for me. You're just jealous cus your breasts will never be as luscious as these!"

She grabbed her breasts and started rubbing them, giggling insanely.

"This is your final warning, go back to your master now," said Rias, only to be ignored.

"Wow, this is a stray devil?" asked Issei before his face changed to perverted monkey, "She looks like a softcore late night cable star!"

"let me show you what I'm made of then!" said Viser as a huge hand tipped with red talons emerged from the darkness.

"Gah!"

"See what I mean?" asked Kiba, "When I said it ends in ugliness, I wasn't joking."

Indeed he wasn't. the monster before us had the upper body of a beautiful woman, but from the waist down she was a hideous monster. It was gigantic and resembled the lower half of a centaur. but with a pair of humanoid talons tipped with glowing red claws and what looked like teeth in her stomach cavity. And there are no words that could have conveyed just how badly it smelt. a combination of blood, rotting flesh and excrement.

"Shes got a really nice rack though, what a waist," said Issei.

I would have facepalmed, but was more worried about the magic circles that had appeared around the monsters nipples. Her laughter became more psychopathic as the circles got bigger. A second later, beams of yellow energy shot from her breasts. I deadpanned before leaping out of the way, just barely avoiding getting dissolved.

"Ah, this is a porno I don't wanna be in!" exclaimed Issei as he gaped at the holes.

"Please be careful," said Rias, "Kiba!"

Said boy grabbed the hilt of the sword at his hip and vanished. Well, to anyone who didn't have years of training and near perfect vision he did at least. I could still follow him with ease.

"He disappeared!" exclaimed Issei.

"No, hes moving extremely fast," I said, "Thats really impressive."

"In this game Kibas my Knight," said Rias, "His attribute is speed and his ultimate attack is his sword."

The Knight appeared below the Stray and sliced off her huge taloned arms. The Stray screamed in agony as Koneko stepped forwards. Visers face began to change, becoming more demonic with parana like teeth and pointed ears as her stomach opened to reveal a massive mouth.

"Koneko look out!" yelled Issei as the Stray bore down on the small girl, the huge jaws slamming shut on her.

"No," said Issei.

"Its all right," said Rias, smirking.

Viser shook as she struggled to keep her mouth shut, only for it to be forced open, revealing Koneko standing there looking none the worse for wear.

"In the game shes my Rook," explained Rias, "Her attribute is simple. She has unparalleled strength. That won't even put a dent in her."

Issei gaped at the small girl as she stood in the monster's jaws, keeping them open with seemingly no trouble. I let out a whistle, more than a little impressed. Well, thats what I told Koneko later at least.

"See you on the flip side," said Koneko, swinging her fist and shattering Visers teeth, sending her flying into the pillars.

"Note to self, do not piss her off," said Issei, with me mentally agreeing.

"Akano," said Rias.

said girl began to move forwards, a creepy smile on her lips.

"Oh is it my turn?" she asked, "How exciting, I so love this game. fufufu!"

I glanced around the room, making sure that there wasn't anything else sneaking up on us, when I noticed one of Visers severed arms twitch, before launching itself at Rias. Before it could even get close however, my spear shot out and pinned it to the wall. Rias blinked and glanced at the arm.

"Huh, nice reflexes," she said.

I shot her a flat look.

"Ah, good point," she said, "Akano, finish her off please."

The black haired beauty giggled demurely.

"I've got news for you," she said, "You're not the only one who likes to play rough around here. so whats say you and I have some fun?"

She raised her hands and yellow lightning began to generate between them.

"Akano is my Queen," said Rias, "Her attributes are a perfect combo of all the other pieces. shes simply unbeatable."

Riser glared up at the Queen from her place on the floor.

"Tough girl, still not ready to give up?" asked Akano, "Goody, I get to play some more!"

She raised her hands and unleashed a massive bolt of yellow lightning that shocked the Stray.

"Her weapon is a dark magical power," said Rias by explanation, "And thats not all…"

"All this violence, its making me so hot," said Akano, a light blush on her face as she ran her tongue over her lips.

"...shes really into S&M," finished Rias as Akano continued to shock the Stray, giggling madly.

"Is this as good for you as it is for me?" asked Akano over the sounds of lightning and screaming.

"You mean she gets off on this?" asked Issei.

I just shuddered, not even wanting to get into that.

"Akano, I think shes had enough," said Rias, prompting her Queen to let up and allow the Stray to fall to the floor, steaming lightly.

"Aw, over already?" asked Akano, "And I was just starting to enjoy myself."

I shivered again,

Rias walked over to the groaning form of the Stray.

"Any last words before we end this?" asked the King.

"Go to hell," snarled Viser as an answer.

"Alright, lets get this over with," said Rias, spreading her arms as a red magic circle appeared in front of her, "Game over."

With a flash of red, Viser was completely annihilated, leaving nothing but a scorched stretch of floor.

"We're done here."

Rias turned to us and smiled.

"Lets go home."

"Sounds good to me," was everyones response except Issei.

"Wait," said Issei.

"Whats wrong?" asked Rias.

"What am I?" he asked, "Am I something cool like a Knight?"

"You are a Pawn," said Rias, walking away.

"But I don't want to be a Pawn," said Issei, "And whats Sora?"

"Sorry, but thats what you are," said Rias, "And Sora is a Rook like Koneko."

I glanced over at Issei and hid a chuckle at the look on his face.

"Aw don't worry Issei," I said, "If this is like a chess game then the Pawn has the most potential of any piece."

"What do you mean?" asked Issei.

"Well, in chess if you manage to get your pawn to the other side of the board, they can be promoted to any other piece beside the king. Is that right Boss?"

Rias nodded.

"Thats right," said Rias, "If a Pawn advances far enough into enemy territory, as defined by the King, they can temporarily become any other piece beside the king."

"Thats cool I guess," said Issei, although he didn't look to happy.

"Oh don't look so down Issei," I said, "After all, even the smallest bit of help can make all the difference."

"That doesn't make me feel any better bird boy," grumbled the pervert.

And done. Don't worry, Sora will be having a punch up soon enough.

I know I've already written two stories with a Rook protagonist, but in this case it was a literal coin toss between a Knight and a Rook. Besides, I like Xenovia more than Rossweisse.

Oh, but before I forget, no that does not indicate a paring with Asia. To be completely frank, I have no idea who I'm gonna Sora with. With that in mind, who would you want to see?

Let me know in your lovely reviews! Until next time!
