Hello everyone, and welcome back to this epic tale! Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 8

I stood in the center of a clearing in the woods near the town, panting lightly as I admired my handiwork. The entire clearing was covered in scars, craters and burns from the training session I had just finished.

"Phew, Its finally finished," I said.

I turned to leave before something shot out of the bushes and careened into me, knocking me over. I blinked and looked down, coming face to face with Irina who looked exhausted and was covered in scuffs and scratches.

"Not that you're not attractive, but I kind of already have a girlfriend," I quipped, only to be ignored as Irina scrambled to her feet and looked around wildly.

"Oh looky here!" said a familiar and unwelcome voice, "Not only do I get another Excalibur, I also get to kill a shitty Devil! Oh happy days!"

I sighed as Freed skipped into the clearing, waving Excalibur Rapidly round like a toy.

"Oh great, its the Shitty Priest," I muttered, drawing my sword, "Just when my day was looking up."

"Hey, don't talk down to me you shitty Devil scum!" yelled Freed, "I'll kill you!"

He charged, bringing his sword round to strike me. I blocked, redirecting the deadly sword away from my body.

"Is that the best you can do?" I asked.

"Not a chance, Shitty Devil!" yelled the crazy priest before he vanished.

I growled and took a stance, transforming Orphida into a Kusarigama for better mobility. I felt movement at my back and glanced backwards to see Irina standing there with her Excalibur in the form of a Katana.

"Hes my foe to," she said in answer to my questioning look.

I nodded and turned my attention back the the clearing, just in time to bring my weapon up to deflect Rapidly away from cutting of my head.

"Well, I'll need all the help I can get," I said, "I can sort of follow his movements, but hes faster than Kiba. I need a bit of time to get used to his speed."

Irina nodded, adjusting her grip on her sword.

"Left," I said, snapping my hand out and throwing one of my Scythes, forcing Freed to jump away before he vanished again.

From there the fight turned into a game of cat and mouse, with Irina and I deflecting and countering as best we could as Freed pressed his attack. Irina took a few strikes, including an especially nasty one when she stopped him from cutting me in two. Fortunately I hadn't taken any hits as, resistance to Holy or not, the Holy Swords like Excalibur were still more than enough to put me down. I had taken some near misses though and they had left smarting skin that was making fighting difficult.

"Damn, how long can he keep this up?" I demanded as I deflected another strike, "Moving that fast has got to eat up energy!"

"Unfortunately not," said Irina, being serious for once, "Although hes moving incredibly quickly, it doesn't take any more energy than a leisurely stroll."

"Aww fuck me," I groaned, "In that case, I'm gonna do something reckless."

"What?" asked Irina.

"Words of Power," I replied before tossing my sword straight up where it seemed to stick in thin air, "Orpheda, to you I entrust the battlefield! Serpent of Fire, crush him to dust, swallow him whole, burn him to ash!"

A golden yellow magic circle appeared from which a huge snake made completely of writhing blood red and black flames erupted, coiling around us protectively, glaring over the clearing with eyes made of golden flame.

Freed suddenly appeared, having tripped over a rock at the Serpent of Fires sudden appearance.

"What in Gods name is this thing?" yelled Irina, gaping at the massive reptile coiling around us.

"This is the Serpent of Fire, my Swords true form," I said, "Its one of the most powerful form my sword has."

The Serpent loomed over Freeds form, the Psycho Priest shivering as the snake eyed him like its next meal.

"Maybe I should retreat," muttered Freed, taking a step back.

The Snake struck and Freed yelped and vanished, disappearing from my senses entirely.

"Hes gone," I said, "And thank the gods for that."

Irina slumped to the ground, her sword slipping from her numb fingers as exhaustion and her injuries got the best of her. I sat next to her, my Snake coiling around us to make sure Freed didn't slip back. Suddenly, a huge amount of power appeared right above us before the world was engulfed in blinding light and burning pain.

Third Person POV

At Isseis house, Issei, Rias and Asia were all getting ready for bed, the same one, when Rias suddenly sensed something outside. She dashed to the window and looked out to see Freed Sellzen standing outside with a grin on his face as he beckoned to her.

"Its the Shitty Priest!" said Issei as he joined her at the window.

Outside, the three Devils faced off with the Priest.

"Wassup Issei, Asia, you look well," said Freed, "Could you have had sex already? Ah, sorry if that was too blunt, but I've always had trouble reading the mood."

"Why you..!"

"Issei, stop," commanded Rias, stopping the Pawn in his tracks, before she looked up at where a winged silhouette could be seen against the moon, "What is your business with us, Fallen Angel?"

"I suppose its nice to meet you, daughter of the Gremory Clan," said the Fallen One, "Your red hair is most fitting. you remind me so much of your brother its sickening."

"Greetings, Fallen Angel Overseer Kokabiel," said Rias.

"Here, a little souvenir and this is yours anyway."

The Fallen Angel tossed the two bundles he was carrying, revealing them to be a pair of bodys. Issei dashed forwards and caught one as Rias grabbed the other. They were Irina and Ren, both badly injured but Ren had the worst of it. His entire body was covered in blood and burns that were still steaming and both were unconscious. Gripped in Rens hand was the shattered remains of his sword.

"Oh no, Ren, Irina!" yelled Issei, "Asia, help them!"

"Right!"

The Bishop dashed forwards and crouched beside Ren who was far more badly injured, her hands lighting up with her Twilight Healing.

"You bastard!" yelled Rias, wearling on Kokabiel.

"Now now, no need for that," said the Fallen Angel condescendingly, "They did so well against Freed that I had to take them out myself. To bad the other two got away."

"I may be a Gremory, but I'm also a King," yelled Rias, "Trying to force me to concede something to you is pointless!"

"Oh I'm not stupid enough to try something like that," said Kokabiel, "Although if I violate and kill Sirzechs little sister I'm sure that his fury will be directed at me. And that would be perfect for my plans."

"What are you after?" growled Rias.

"Your headquarters is at Kuoh Academy, right?" asked Kokabiel, apparently ignoring the question, "I was thinking of going on a little rampage there. If I do, won't Sirzechs intervene?"

"What? but if you do that you'll start another war!" yelled Rias.

"Then my wish will be granted!" yelled Kokabiel, "I thought that by stealing the Excaliburs I could goad Michael into a war but the coward only sent two measly Exorcists and some Holy Sword users! How utterly boring! So doesnt going berserk in the headquarters of the little sister of one of the Satans sound like fun?!"

"Damned warmonger!" hissed Rias, a dark aura surrounding her.

"Thats right, since the end of the three way war I've been unbelievably board!" yelled Kokabiel, "Azazel and Shemhazai are too impersonal about war. since it ended they've done nothing but meaningless research! But enough talk, one way or another, I'll have my war! you either fight or I destroy your HQ to draw out the Satans!"

"This guys fucked in the head!" exclaimed Issei.

"Hyhahah, isn't my bosses insanity great?" asked Freed, "I'm getting pumped to, I've never had a reward like this before!"

He pulled open his coat to reveal four unique swords.

"This is Excalibur Rapidly, Nightmare and Transparent," he said "And this is Mimic I got from that girl."

he indicated to the string tied round his arm.

"I want to get Destruction too," continued the Priest, "I'm the worlds first wielder of multiple Excalibur. and I've been told by old man Valpa theres a more convenient way to wield the swords! being invincible is great, I'm the greatest aren't I?"

"What are you collecting the Excaliburs for?" demanded Rias.

"If you want to know follow us!" yelled Kokabiel, "Its time for war Rias Gremory!"

Freed pulled something out of his coat and threw it, releasing a blinding flash and when it cleared, the two were gone.

"Asia, get those two to the infirmary!" yelled Rias, spinning around, "Issei, get everyone together. I will not let him harm our school and I will make him pay for hurting Ren!"

Rens POV

I groaned as consciousness returned to me, feeling my muscles ache as I stured. I felt surprisingly good considering I'd just taken a point blank shot from Kokabiel. I slowly opened my eyes, blinking as my vision cleared up to reveal a ceiling that I'm pretty sure didn't belong to anywhere I could be after an impact like that.

"Oh, so you're finally awake," said a voice.

I sat up, taking in my surroundings. I was in a large, round room with a number of screens and mirrors attached to the walls by telescopic arms. In the middle of the room was a work station with a ring of keyboards and control panels that wouldn't look out of place on the Enterprise. Sat on a leather swivel chair in the middle of the consols was a young looking man with a scruffy beard, pale skin that came from staying inside for too long and shaggy, black hair. He wore a pair of black square spectacles over his green eyes, tired looking jeans and a blue shirt.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I'm Dis Lexic, a Watcher and the one who keeps this little chunk of the Multiverse spinning," said the man, "And you are yet another Outsider who is causing trouble for me."

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

Dis sighed.

"Look, I really don't feel like going into too much detail, so I won't," he said, "All you need to know is that you are an Outsider, a creature of change and chaos who the Almighty seems to love dumping on me."

"You mean God?" I asked, "I thought he was dead."

I paused.

"Actually, considering the book I'm reading, maybe hes not."

"He isn't, but that's not important," said Dis, "The Almighty isnt the God of the Bible, hes the ruler of the Land Outside of Time where the most basic concepts of existence reside. He was the first, the concept of Existence itself. He also doesn't like being mistaken for Yahweh."

"Fair enough. So why am I here exactly?"

"So I can tell you what you need to deal with in the not too distant future," said Dis, "All Outsiders find their way here eventually and I basically have to warn them about some great encroaching danger on the world they now call home. Fortunately for you, the encroaching foe isn't something out of your world. Its the Darkness."

"As in, Amara?" I asked.

"Thats the one," said Dis, "Truthfully, you could probably leave it up to Sam and Dean, but I guarantee you'll get dragged in one way or another."

"Speaking of, how is it possible for Supernatural to exist in my world?" I asked, "I mean, Angels already exist since I've met a few and I know I'm nothing like the Demons."

"You'll see," said Dis, "But its safe to say that your world is nothing like the original Supernatural."

"Fair enough," I said, "Anything else I should know?"

"Well, you are lucky that your house wasn't burnt down when you were a kid," he said.

"Wait, what?"

Dis just grinned and snapped his fingers.

I shot bolt upright, scaring the crap out of Mom who were standing next to my bed.

"Ren, you're OK!" excalmed Mom as she grabbed me in a bone cracking hug, "I was so worried!"

I sat frozen as I felt tears soaking into my shirt. I had never seen my normally unflappable mother like this, although I suppose it was understandable as I had almost died. I brought my arms up and wrapped them around Moms shoulders, comforting her as best I could.

"There there mom, I'm fine," I said, "It'll take more than a crazy Fallen Angel to kill me."

Mom chuckled and pulled back, wiping her eyes.

"I guess your right," she said.

I smiled at her, before suddenly stiffening.

"How long was I out?" I asked, worry filling my voice.

"Only about an hour," said Mom, "Its actually incredible. about ten minutes ago your wounds started glowing and sealing themselves. your now almost back to full health."

"What about the fight?" I asked, "I can't imagine Kokabiel hasn't started a fight after all that."

"Still going on at the school," said Mom, becoming serious again.

I cursed and threw of my sheets, grabbing my clothes where they were sitting neatly folded on a chair.

"So, you're going?" asked Mom as I started getting dressed.

"I have to," I said, "And don't try and stop me."

Mom shook her head.

"As much as I'd love to, I cannot," she said, tears in her eyes once more, "You're a man now and must make your own choices about what path to follow. Just promise me that you'll come home safely?"

"Always," I said, stepping in front of my mom and hugging her, "I'll always come home, even if I have to drag myself with one arm."

Mom chuckled and handed me something. I looked and saw it was Orpheda, once more in pristine shape.

"Heh, she really is an immortal serpent," I said, gently running a finger up the blades spine, feeling the sword shiver slightly at my touch.

"Indeed," said Mom, "Remember Ren, the Words of Power have the power to slay Gods."

I nodded and hugged her one more time before running from the room.

I'm done. I decided to change the dream Ren had to a meeting with Dis since that was the best time to have the now prerequisite meeting with my inter-dimensional clone. As you can probably tell, my original plan for this story has gone down the drain, so I no longer need OC's. Sorry for everyone who put theres forward. Anyway, I'm gonna sign out. Please review!
