Chapter 12

The airport was a bustle activity as I maneuvered through the crowd towards the massive aura of Holy energy that stood out like a beacon. I eventually broke through the crush of people to see Xenovia and Irina standing near the gate, before Xenovia walked off in the direction of the exit, leaving Irina staring after her with tears in her eyes.

"Well, here goes nothing," I said to myself as I approached. Irina turned at my approach and I raised a hand in greeting.

"Hey, didn't think I'd let you go without a goodbye did you?" I asked at her questioning gaze.

"Why would I care about a Devils goodbye?" demanded Irina, tears still shining in her eyes.

"Devil or not, you're still my friend," I said, "Besides, theres something you need to know."

"What?" asked Irina.

"Irina, listen carefully to what I have to say," I said, "The information we have will change everything about how you view the world and may challenge your faith. Knowing that, do you still want to know?"

Irina now looked more scared than curious, but nodded.

"I can take it," she said.

"I hope so," I said, "Alright, according to Kokabiel, during the Great War the Satans weren't the only ones to perish. God was also slain."

Irinas eyes went wide and she took a step back in shock, her breaths coming out in short gasps as she began to hyperventilate.

"Now I know what you're thinking, that Kokabiel must have been lying," I continued, focusing on the girl in front of me, "But remember this, Kokabiel had no reason to lie to us. And if you think I'm lying to you then you don't know me at all."

Irina fell to her knees, hugging herself as she shivered.

"Gods dead?" she muttered, "No, he can't be."

I knelt in front of her and gently wrapped my arms around her, pulling her into a gentle hug.

"I know it hurts, but you need to know the truth," I whispered, "If I hadn't told you, you would have gone from here believing Xenovia to be a traitor. neither of you deserve that."

Irina looked up at me, her eyes filled with tears.

"Why?" she asked, "why did you tell me? What am I supposed to believe in now?"

I sighed and stood.

"Well, are you going to tell me?!"

"I cant do that," I said, not looking back, "You need to find your own path. Now stand up and walk. You've got two good legs Irina, make use of them."

I left the airport, leaving Irina kneeling there. I sighed as I stepped outside and reached up, wiping the tears from my face.
"Damn, that was harder than I thought," I muttered, "Maybe I shouldn't have done that...then again, she did deserve to know and what was I supposed to tell her? God's currently playing the part of a slob in small town America?"

I snorted.

"Yeah, that'd go down well," I grumbled, "Well, now I guess I'd better head to the Club Meeting."

A few hours later I walked into the Club Room to find Xenovia introducing herself to everyone and apologizing to Asia.

"So, you joined us?" I asked, getting a nod as Xenovia watched me wearily, "In that case, welcome aboard."

I held out my hand and Xenovia grasped it, smiling slightly.

"By the way Ren, have you seen Akeno?" asked Rias, "Shes not at school today and won't answer her phone."

I shook my head as I sat down, Koneko immediately claiming her seat on my lap.

"No, I haven't seen her," I said, "Actually, now that I think about it, Yuris not in school either today."

At that moment my phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Ren, we've got a problem," said the voice on the other end.

"Godou? has something happened?" I asked, a sinking feeling in my gut.

"Yuris been kidnapped."

"SHES WHAT?!"

Everyone jumped at my sudden shout, only for me to ignore them.

"To make matters worse its another Campione," continued Godou, "We have his location and are heading over now. We could use your help."

"Noted, send me the address, I'm on my way with help."

I hung up and immediately got a text.

"Ren, what's going on?" demanded Rias.

"I think I know where Akeno is," I said, getting to my feet, "Yuris been kidnapped and I bet the same persons got Akeno too."

"Why would you think that?" asked Kiba.
"Well, the guys planning to force Yuri to summon a god," I said, "But something like that takes a huge amount of power, so it wouldn't surprise me if he'd captured a bunch of other girls to use as batteries."

"But Akenos extremely powerful, how would someone catch her, let alone keep her?" asked Rias with worry etched into her face.

"Three words," I said, "Sasha Dejanstahl Voban."

Rias, Koneko and Kibas eyes went wide as Asia let out a startled gasp and Xenovia scowled, hard.

"You mean the Monster of Balkans is in Japan?!" demanded Rias.

"Indeed," I said, "Now, it's clear that you all know the name, but do you know precisely what we will face?"

"Whos this Sasha Voban?" asked Issei.

"He is a monstrously powerful mage who once drove the city Zadar to the brink of destruction," said Xenovia, "No one knows the true source of his power, but he is almost strong enough to fight on par with a god."

I sighed.

"Actually theres no close about it," I said, "He is a Campione, a God-slayer."

"WHAT?!" yelled Rias, "You mean there not just fairy storys?"

I shook my head.

"Nope, there are seven in the world right now and two are in Japan and ready to face off if it comes down to it. The Seven Devil Kings are Sasha Dejanstahl Voban of the Balkans, Luo Hao of China, Madame Aisha of India, Black Prince Alec of the UK, John Pluto Smith of the USA, Lord Salvatore Doni of Italy and finally, Godou Kusanagi of Japan."

"Wait, you mean that idiot whos dating Erica?" asked Kiba incredulously.

"Yep," I said, "he killed Verethragna, the Persian god of War and Light. Hes also fought Athena at full power and prevented the end of the world."

"You seem remarkably well informed," said Xenovia suspiciously.

"Well, My mom is a member of the group responsible for keeping the public ignorant of Magic and Gods in Japan," I said, "But enough lollygagging, we need to get going and make sure Voban and Godou don't flatten the city."

"Agreed," said Rias, "Ren, you'll take lead."

I nodded.

"Got it," I said, "Right, magic is useless against a Campione and I'd honestly rather leave the fighting to Godou. We get in, get Akeno and get out. Got it?"

everyone nodded.

"That means you to Ren," said Koneko, glaring at me, "I know you're likely to take on Voban if you have the chance, so don't."

I shook my head.

"You don't need to worry about that," I said, "Fighting a Campione is a different kettle of fish to fighting a Fallen Angel. For one thing, Magic is worthless, so thats most of my arsenal out the window. Anyway, enough talk, lets move!"

END! another short chapter, but I wanted to end it there and spend a whole chapter on the Voban fight. and rest assured, Ren will get pulled into the fight. hope you liked the chapter and if anyone can guess the quote they get cookies from chibi Yuri! please leave me a review!
