Devils of the Void NEW
Ren, boy reincarnated into the world of Highschool DXD and a Servant to Rias Gremory. however, things are not what they appear to be as more worlds begin to converge and new mysteries unfold.
And here we go with more of this rewrite. This chapter has mostly been left alone with only a few corrections and the likes. Enjoy!
Chapter 9
The school was a battleground and not one that was looking up for the ORC. Not one person was uninjured, with the exception of a smug looking Kokabiel.
"What an interesting house you have Rias Gremory," he said, "The Red Dragon Emperor, a failed Holy Sword experiment, Baraqiel daughter and a Half-blood of the Greeks who uses Words of Power!"
"WHAT?!"
Yelled everyone.
"Is it true Akeno, are you the daughter of a Fallen Angel?" asked Issei in a shocked tone.
"Hehe, how terribly amusing this is," said Kokabiel, "A penchant for inferior products must run in the family."
"Your insulting comments about my brother will not be tolerated," growled Rias, "But for insulting my servants, you will pay the ultimate price and DIE!"
"Oh please come and try it!" said Kokabiel, crashing into the ground in a cloud of dust, "You do realise you're facing the archenemy of Devils? might as well make the most of it, you never know when you'll get another chance."
"Hey Fallen Angel Douchnozzle," said Issei, "If you say one more rude thing to Rias and Akeno, I will kick your ass! Don't test me either you bird man freak!"
"Really? you must be an idiot," said Kokabiel, creating a sword of light.
"I am what I am asshole," said Issei, "Now stay right there if you want some."
"Hold it."
A familiar voice suddenly sounded as something fell from the sky and smashed into the ground in front of Issei.
"Sorry Issei, but this assholes mine."
the dust cleared to reveal Ren standing there with Orpheda in hand and a determined look on his face.
"Ren!" yelled Koneko.
"What are you doing idiot!" yelled Rias, "Theres no way your wounds have healed!"
Ren turned to look at his friends.
"Don't worry about me," he said, lifting his shirt to show unblemished flesh, "I'm fine. All I need to do is kick this guys ass."
"Oh, you really intend to fight me?" asked Kokabiel, "Even after I almost killed you last time we met?"
"That was a cheap shot," said Ren, "And I'm more than ready this time. In fact, I think I have the advantage. after all, I have this."
Ren brought up his sword and threw it into the air.
"Serpent of Fire, to you, I entrust the words of power of lamentation and anger! Bathe in the holy blood of his last moments, and manifest yourself as the Holy Lance of Longinus!"
A bright yellow magic circle appeared around the sword as it glowed with the same colour and transformed into the ornate lance that was the weapon that allowed mortals to take down gods. Ren caught it and spun it around to point at Kokabiel.
"Well now, so you can use those Words of Power," said the grinning Angel, "To think that a Devil could use the Words of Golgatha. This might be interesting after all."
Ren narrowed his eyes.
"Shut it and lets fight!" He yelled, charging.
Kokabiel met the charge, Cursed Lance to Spear of Light, before both broke away and vanished, before reappearing and colliding once more. the two fought with such speed that only Kiba and Xenovia could keep up.
"Such incredible speed," whispered Kiba in awe, "Its hard to believe Rens a Rook when he can move faster than most Knights."
"Ren, please be careful," whispered Koneko.
Back on the battlefield, Ren was beginning to tire. His wounds may have been healed, but he hadn't really recovered from his injuries and it was beginning to slow him down a little. not that it really showed and most would have missed it. however, Kokabiel was an old and skilled fighter and picked up on it in an instant.
"Are you slowing down?" he asked as the two clashed once more, "It seems that you aren't quite as healed as it appeared."
"Shut it," growled Ren, "I may not be at full strength, but I'm more than ready to take you down!"
He pushed hard and stabbed forward with his spear, just nicking Kokabiels face as he dodged, drawing a thin line of blood.
"Oh, not bad," said the Angel, touching his face and looking at the blood on his fingers, "It has been a long time since someone like you has hurt me."
He looked over at Ren who was panting heavily and clearly only barely on his feet.
"You're on your last legs. Such a disappointment."
He fired a huge blast of light at Ren who tried to move, only to stumble in exhaustion and fall to his knees. before the light could annihilate the red-headed Devil however, a flash of movement appeared in front of him as Xenovia and Kiba appeared and deflected the attack.
"Nice work Ren," said the Knight, "Now leave the rest to us."
Both charged, striking out at the powerful Fallen Angel, only for him to create another blade of light and block both.
"Oh, whats more fun that Holy Sword and Holy Devil Sword?" asked Kokabiel.
"This," said Koneko as she appeared above the Fallen Angel, dropping towards him at incredible speed.
before she could hit though, Kokabiels wings appeared and, in a flurry of motion sent all three flying badly injured.
"Koneko no!" yelled Ren as he struggled to get to his feet, "Damn, come one, move!"
"Oh, so you can still move?" asked Kokabiel, looking over at Ren, "Well, I can't have that. Now be a good boy and Die!"
He fired and orb of light at me, only for it to be deflected once more by Xenovia.
"Why do you fight so hard for a bunch of losers who don't even know they've lost their master?" asked the Fallen Angel.
"Mind clarifying," growled Rias.
"Tell me what you mean, who's lost their master?" demanded Xenovia as she took a stance.
"Woops, that just slipped right out," said the Angel, chuckling slightly.
"Answer my question!"
"HehehehHAHHAHAHHA!" laughed Kokabiel, "I guess I really am trying to start a war, so theres no point in hiding it any more. I guess I can tell you the brutal truth."
"In the previous three way war, God was actually killed along with the Three Great Devil Kings!"
"No way Gods dead?" asked Xenovia, clearly in shock along with everyone else.
Ren growled as he once more tried to move.
"Come on, while he distracted monologue, I have to move!"
He glanced over at where Koneko was laying as he tuned out the Fallen Angels rant.
"I can't fail her, I can't fail my friends, come on, MOVE!"
Deep inside Rens Soul, a crack appeared in the tank that held his Spirit as the being opened his eyes.
"Its time."
Suddenly, the area around Ren seemed to freeze.
"Do you really wish to fight? even if it will cost you your life?"
"Z?"
"I can offer you power, enough power to take down this H wannabe, but I cannot guarantee that you will survive.
"Heh, like I care. Even if I die here, so long as I protect my friends, I will never give up."
Ren looked around at everyone's frozen forms, his eyes lingering on Koneko. for Z who was looking through his master's eyes, the girl was momentarily superimposed by another with blond hair, blue eyes and clad in pink and black armour.
"Heh, you truly do remind me of him. alright, I shall lend you my power, just like I did that brat Vent."
"Huh, wait, are you..?"
"You already know my name, so I wont tell you it again. Now go and show me how much like X you truly are, Ren Tenno!"
The world around Ren restarted, just in time for me to hear the end of Kokabiels speech.
"And now I shall have the honour of restarting the great war by killing Sirzechs' little sister!" he yelled as a huge spear of light appeared above him and hurtled towards the group. Everyone moved, shields and attacks appearing, only to be smacked aside by the massive attack. before it could hit though, a flash of red appeared in front of it and it dissipated against a huge shield of bronze with a Gorgon's head engraved on the metal.
"What do you think you're doing Asshole? I'm not done yet."
"What the hell? how can you be standing again?" demanded the Fallen Angel as the shield vanished revealing Ren standing there panting.
"Heh, I won't give up, not until my body is turned to ash!" he said, "I will protect everyone!"
My hands began to glow yellow, signifying the activation of my Sacred Gear.
"No Ren, don't do it!" shouted Rias, "In your condition theres no way you can make an Armour strong enough to take him on!"
"Sorry Rias, but thats not an order I can follow," said Ren, "Besides, I have some help."
"What?"
"Activate, Balance Breaker!"
The golden glow changed, becoming bright blue as lines of what appeared to be code began to pore from Rens hands and cover his form, before exploding out, kicking up a huge cloud of dust and forcing everyone to shield their faces.
"What in the world is this power?" demanded Kokabiel.
The cloud of dust slowly dissipated, revealing a faint silhouette clad in angular armour.
"Ren?" asked Issei hesitantly.
the silhouette suddenly seemed to sprout wings as its eyes and an arrow on its forehead lit up with blue light. the sudden blast of energy blew away the dust and revealed Rens Balance Breaker.
he was clad in a skintight black undersuit, covered in red and white armour. his feet were covered with red boots with black soles and yellow disks on the ankles that extended up to cover his shins and knees. his thighs were covered in white plates that wrapped all the way around his legs and matched the armoured belt that surrounded his waist. his hands were covered in black gloves with white fingers and his wrists and forearms were protected by red and gold armour. his shoulders and chest were covered by a red and gold breastplate and shoulder pads. finally, his head was covered with an angular helmet with white spikes coming from the cheeks and a blue arrow on the forehead that extended to the back where long, golden hair that fell to his waist emerged from the back.
"Zero Gear, online," said Ren, glaring at Kokabiel who was looking at the armoured boy in shock, "Bring it on."
END! bit of a cliffhanger there, but next time we get to see the final fight between Rens Balance Breaker and Kokabiel. now be honest, how many people were expecting Zero to be Rens Spirit? I know that one person guessed, but how many others did? Please leave me a review!
