Chapter 14

Third Person POV

"Here."

Yuri looked up as Liliana placed a cup of tea before her.

"Thank you," she said.

"I have done nothing to earn your gratitude," said the Knight. Yuri giggled.

"Whats so funny?" asked Liliana.

"Its just that you said the same thing to me when we first met," said Yuri, picking up the tea and taking a sip, "Its good."

Liliana looked away with a light grunt.

"So, how've you been?" asked the Himi-Miko after a moments silence.

"Why are you asking me that?" asked Liliana.

"Well, last time we met we didn't have the chance to sit and talk. Tell me, how is..?"

Liliana cut her off before she could finish.

"Godou Kusanagi entered the building not to long ago," said the Knight, "Along with that Devil who helped us against Athena and a few other Devils."

"What, Rens here?" asked Yuri.

"I imagine Godous objective is a fight with the duke," continued Liliana, "And that the Devils intend to finish off what's left. After all a Campione inherently enjoys conflict and Devils are opportunists."

Yuri giggled lightly at that description of the red haired Devil.

"Somehow I doubt thats Rens plan," she said, "You really shouldn't judge people before getting to know them. Especially Godou. He's different from the others."

"How is he different?" asked Liliana, "Did he not become a Godslayer because he enjoys fighting so much?"

"That is not true," said Yuri, a determined look in her eye.

Liliana looked away.

"We don't have much time," she said, "The God will be summoned here. purify yourself."

She turned and left the room. Yuri looked out the window, hands clasped in her lap as she thought of the Red-headed Devil who had taken on a God for his friends.

Rens POV

It didn't take me long to catch up with Kiba and Koneko, although that probably had more to do with the fact they had run across an undead mage who had summoned a Golem and was now doing an excellent job of kicking there asses.

"Need a hand?" I asked, unleashing a fireball and blasting the rock dolls hand to gravel before it could crush Kiba.

"Ren, you're OK!" yelled Koneko.

"What, you thought that Silver eyed bitch could beat me?" I asked, "Im hurt Kitty-cat!"

"Flirt later, we got to get past this thing first," said Kiba.

"Do you guys seriously not know how to take down a Golem?" I asked, "There's a simple method. simply change the word on its forehead from Emeth, meaning Truth to Meth, meaning death."

I dashed forwards, my sword carving threw the animated clay with ease. a fragment of the Golems head broke away and its glowing eyes flickered out, before it fell apart.

"There, now lets go," I said.

We headed down the halls, moving quickly and checking the rooms that lined the halls, something. most were empty, but a few had undead soldiers inside. fortunately, they went down pretty quickly.

"Can't you get a better idea of where Akeno is?" asked Kiba as he pushed yet another zombie of his sword with a look of disgust.

"Sorry, but no," I said, "Like I said outside, this place is so saturated in power I can only pick up the tiniest spark of Akenos aura. We do seem to be getting closer though."

I was proven right when we opened the next door and found Akeno tied up and unconscious on the bed.

"Is she OK?" asked Koneko as Kiba and I cut her bonds.

"I think so," I said.

My hands lit up with a golden glow and I placed one on her forehead, my eyes scrunched shut. A second later, they snapped back open and I cursed.

"What's wrong?" asked Kiba. In response, I lifted her hands and pulled back her sleeves, revealing what appeared to be black lines drawn on her skin.

"These," I said, "I have no idea how, but these marks are basically holy energy drawn on her skin. I think there spells written in Enochen"

"WHAT?!"

I bent over Akeno and gently ran my fingertips over the marks. the skin around them was red and raw looking.

"Is there anything we can do?" asked Koneko.

I frowned.

"There may be something," I muttered, "I'd suggest that you two take a few steps back."

My companions did and I raised my hands, a small gold flame appearing in each one.

"Apollo is the Greek God of the sun, but he also has dominion of music and medicine. With this cleansing flame, I call forth the healing power of the suns rays!"

My eyes lit up a blinding gold as the two flames erupted into golden infernos before I brought them together. The flames pulsed for a second before shrinking and morphing into a glowing golden scalpel.

"Thanks uncle," I said, before taking hold of Akenos wrists and running the glowing blade over the lines, leaving a glowing trail in its wake that swiftly dissolved, taking the marks with it.

That done, I pulled up the hem of her trousers and repeated the process. as soon as I pulled the scalpel away from the last mark, the implement vanished and Akeno jolted awake with a gasp.

"What, where am I?" she asked.

"Oh thank the gods that worked," I said, letting out a sigh.

"Ren? what's going on?" asked Akeno, her eyes full of confusion.

"What's the last thing you remember?" I asked.

"I had just gotten out of the bath and then…" she trailed off, a thoughtful look on her face.

"You were kidnapped Akeno," said Koneko bluntly.

I sighed, but nodded.

"What she said. Now, we need to get out of here and meet up with the others."

I closed my eyes and focused, before opening them and revealing completely black orbs. to me, the world had been replaced with a blue world with everyone picked out in orange and there skeletons visible, along with their weapons and details floating alongside them, including the measurements in the case of the girls for some odd reason.

"Lets see," I muttered, ignoring the data around me and focusing on extending my gaze to the rest of the building, "Hmm, it seems that Voban is no longer here. Neither Godou for that matter. The others are on this floor and coming this way."

I looked at the door which slammed open at that moment and revealed the other members of the ORC, all panting and out of breath.

"Akeno, thank goodness you're OK!" said Rias, running to embrace her friend.

Akeno smiled and tried to get up to meet Rias, only for her legs to collapse under her. I caught her and gently lowered her back to the bed.

"Don't try to get up," I said, "You're still suffering from the effects of Light poisoning."

"Light poisoning?" asked everyone.

"Well what else do we call it when someone is poisoned with Light energy?" I asked, "I don't know how, but Voban somehow marked her with what was basically pure light energy. I'm actually surprised that we didn't find a pile of ashes considering how much of it there was."

"How did you get rid of it?" asked Rias, sitting down on the bed next to Akeno and taking her hand.

"You can thank Apollo for that," I said, grinning, "I used a combination of a prayer to Apollo and Words of Power to create a one time use healing spell. Now, enough standing around, we need to get out of here."

"Agreed," said Rias, snapping her fingers and creating a Circle.

everyone trooped into the teleportation magic, except me who looked out the window towards the massive aura of power that was flaring in the distance.

"Ren, get a move on," said Rias.

"You guys go," I said, "Theres one more thing I have to do tonight."

"Oh no you don't," growled Koneko, storming up to me, "If you think I'm going to let you go off on your own again you're sorely mistaken!"

I blinked at her, before a smile crossed my face.

"What the hell are you smiling a..glumf."

She was cut of as I pressed my lips to hers. After a second I pulled back and looked into her eyes.

"Trust me."

I hopped back, flipping out the window, my wings snapping open as I sored away.

"Hes right," said Rias, putting a hand on Konekos shoulder, "We should trust him. he knows better than anyone his limits and he won't risk his life needlessly."

"And what if it is needed?" asked the silver haired girl.

"Then we just need to have faith that he can win."

Third person POV

Up in the Ballroom, the faint sounds of sobs could be heard from the blooded form of the former Warrior.

"It hurts, it hurts so much," she whispered, "Brother, please help me...you always came when I needed you. Why did you die so easily? You were supposed to protect me forever."

her hands clenched into fists as her teeth began to grind, even as they sharpened into fangs.

"That bastard! I'm not letting him off that easily!"

her power began to climb as her eyes turned gold and veins began to stand out on her face.

"Huh, brother, is that you?" she asked as a faint sound reached her ears, "Damn it. I don't know who that Yellow Eyed man was who killed him. Damn it all to hell!"

Her body began to distort more as her power continued to climb

"Damn it! damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! DAMN IT!"

Outside, the windows blew out as her power reached its peak.

Rens POV

I flew high above the city, heading in the direction of the fast moving aura of my friend, easily catching up with the car. I swooped down and landed lightly on the roof, just in time to hear Yuri say something about taking her back.

"I had no idea you had a death wish Yuri," I said, sticking my head in through the sunroof.

My sudden appearance startled everyone in the car and the driver swerved, causing me to loose my balance and fall through the sunroof to land face first in Yuris lap.

"AEEE!"

SMACK!

I rubbed my face ruefully, trying to sooth the smarting handprint as Yuri looked away from me her face glowing red.

"What are you doing here Ren?" asked Erica, "I thought you were looking for your friend."

"Akenos safe, we found her," I said, "But its not like this is over. so long as Voban is in Japan, this entire country is at risk. Plus I can't leave a friend in a bind."

I looked over at Yuri who looked away with a huff. At that moment an alarm went of and the driver grabbed her phone.

"Erica, 30 minutes are up," she said.

"And thats my cue," I said, grabbing onto the edge of the sunroof and hauling myself up onto the roof of the car, a pair of boots appearing on my feet with clamps to hold me in place.

"What are you doing?" yelled Erica.

"Keeping them off us," I said, igniting a pair of fireballs in my hands.

A grin crossed my face as the first of the wolves appeared around the corner.

"Alright you stupid mutts, lets see how you like my little pets."

I dropped the fireballs on either side of the car, the two flaming orbs expanding into a ring around the car that traveled with us as I moved my hands like a conductor, manipulating the fire into various shapes to ensnare the magical hounds.

"Heheheh, this is fun!" I shouted as I fashioned a large tiger and had it eat a wolf that pounced at the car.

I also listened with half an ear to the conversation going on inside the car as Yuri tried to convince Godou to take her back.

"Ya know, you should really worry less," I said, "We do have a Campione of our own ya know and I'm no pushover."

"But.."

"Yuri, this is the final decision of Godou Kusanagi, a Campione and you cannot disobey," said Erica

"And even if you did I'd drag you along if I had to," I said, creating a large Chimera and sending it rampaging through the pack of wolves.

"You too Erica, Ren?" asked Yuri, "But why..?"

"My friend is sitting beside me and shes in trouble," he said, "I think thats a good enough reason."

"For me its much more simple," I said, "You still owe me some homework from last week and I intend to collect."

"Ignore him," said Godou, "Here, just don't lose it again."

He passed her something, although I was too busy burning wolves to death to see what it was.

"Guess I'll have to go along with it," said Yuri, "Its not like I can disobey a King, now is it? And I do owe Ren some homework."

"Heh, damned right."

"I'm glad to see your getting along so well," said Erica, "But remember that I'm his proper wife. remember your place, numero due. Although if your interaction with Ren earlier was anything to

go by I don't think I have anything to worry about."

The fire I was fashioning into another Chimera suddenly imploded and turned into a Smurf as I spluttered in shock.

"OI, I'LL HAVE YO KNOW I ALREADY HAVE A GIRLFRIEND!" I yelled, sticking my head back in the car, my face glowing.

"We're in mortal danger and you're talking about this now?!" asked Godou.

"I'm saying it because we're in danger," said Erica, "And Ren, thats not an excuse for you."

I huffed and went back to burning wolves, muttering about perverts and Harum Kings.

"Urg, guys, I don't know how much longer I can keep this up," I said a few minutes later as the fires around the car began to shrink slightly, "Can you drop us off somewhere so you lot can get in on the action?"

"Drop us off in a wide open space," Erica ordered.

"Right," said her maid and floored the gas.

I slipped in through the sunroof and collapsed onto the seat between Godou and Yuri, panting and sweating.

"Gods, that was exhausting," I said, "I need to work out more."

"You did great Ren," said Yuri, "Thank you."

"For what? its only natural I fight for my friends."

A few minutes later, Oriana dropped the four of us off in a courtyard and drove off, just as the wolves began to pore into the area.

Erica and I drew our swords as Yuri stepped back and Godou prepared his Authorities for the coming battle.

And thats this one done. As it turned out, I did make a slight alteration. Hehehe. Leave a review!
