The world was in chaos, city's burned and people ran as the sky turned black. But he stood still, kneeling with his sword before him like he was praying. That was until a massive creature made of fire and smoke landed before him, bellowing in rage as it raised a whip made of mystical flames. In the blink of an eye, he rose and struck the demon down before it could even use its weapon. As the balrog turned into glowing ashes, the knight lifted his sword to the heavens, lightning erupting forth and striking his blade in a flash of white. Harry woke up, covered in a fine sheet of sweat and gasping for air. The nightmare that always haunted him, the world that was destroyed and overrun by demons. He had vowed to never let that happen, but precedence of now took over, making him forget the nightmare.
Slowly getting up, he found himself in a bed that was not his own, Harry had never owned a house or rented a room in a hotel, others deserved it more than he did. Looking at himself, he found that he was shirtless revealing his defined chest to the world, but he had his pants on. Pulling himself from the bed and towards the bathroom that he had seen out of the corner of his vision, closing the door behind him. His view in the mirror only added to the fact that he was very handsome to the naked eye, but he had a small, almost unnoticeable scar on his forehead, a reminder when he faced a dark wizard named Voldemort. Why anyone would name themselves "Flight from Death" was beyond him, Harry stepped into the shower and let the warm water rush over his body. The images of his last waking moments returned to him, the binding of his killer to the house of Draconis and the power she wielded, Raynare had definitely been training ever since she killed him.
He knew of the different power levels of Devils, Angels and Fallen Angels, but the Devils had the simplest and most understandable power level names. Raynare had been at the power level of a newly reincarnated devil when she murdered him, but when she had face him, Raynare was at the power level of a Ultimate class devil. If she was this strong, why did she only have one pair of wings? Wings only started to grow when the person reached beyond the Ultimate Class power range, that's why Harry could take on Rias Gremory's peerage without any getting winded, they were not at the level that he or Raynare were at. Harry had also had trained with the Dragons of Ancient Order, but in doing so he had to give up a part of his body to them so he could handle the power and training they threw at him. Harry had decided on giving the council his heart as a token of his gratitude and willingness to learn from them.
He had spent only a year with them, but that year was spent in a time dilation field that made time in it almost completely stop, this is how he had learned about everything related to the supernatural world and grew his dragon wings. The armor he wore was the tenth model he had worn through his long life, the first had been made of solid steel but was destroyed when he had faced a stray devil a week after he got the armor. The model he wore now was made of dragon scales melted and forged with void metal, giving his armor its silver-black appearance. It was nigh indestructible, only weapons forged by God or such could penetrate it, Sacred Gears didn't count because they weren't made to handle dragon scales and void metal at the same time. The true 'Longinus', the spear that killed Jesus Christ, was the only weapon to date that could harm Harry and his armor without the ill effects that the armor's aura gave off as a natural defense.
Turning off the water and drying himself, Harry listened to the sounds of the water that dripped from the humidity of the water. He was the only person that could face Great Red and Ophis at the same time, but he was still trying to find his place in life that would fit him. He had taken to being an assassin as well as knight, but he still didn't feel that it was his part in the great plan that fate had weaved. He exited the bathroom and got dressed, a black long sleeved shirt with black tight pants. He moved to the window, opened it and leaped through it, slashing his hand diagonally in the air before him. His armor flew from the cut in the air and landed on his body before the cut vanished into nothing, leaving the draconic knight where Harry used to be.
His wings extended from his back and stopped his fall to the earth before he took off into the cool morning air, following the powerful residue magic that his new servant's seal left behind. The sun was barely raising over the horizon as he followed the trail, then he froze, the trail lead straight into the Occult Research Club building. Narrowing his eyes, Harry landed and opened the door to find the dark interior of the ORC. The devil magic in the air was thick but he could tell the difference between the different devils, the most powerful trails were left by Issei and Rias.
Raynares' magic and binding to his house was leading him to the couch, which also had the taint of the Nekoshou, Koneko. Harry remembered a similar scent of the woman named Kuroka, the falsely accused devil that he had a close relationship with. So the aura on the couch must be the Nekoshou's sister.
Raynare was peacefully sleeping on the couch, the blanket that covered her was a homemade blanket, with Rias' name sowed in at the bottom of it, so it must have been a blanket from home. Kneeling next to the sleeping fallen angel, Harry brushed his armored hand through Raynare's the raven black hair, memories flooding through as he remembered the times he spent with this woman before he was killed. All of the times that Raynare smiled as he made a fool of himself or the hugs that she gave him for when he drew both of them on paper with crayons, his parents had to work from dawn until midnight so they had Raynare watch him ever since he was two years old. He had fallen in love with Raynare like a brother would fall in love with his sister, but that shattered the day his 'sister' ended his life with a light spear.
He never heard Raynare wake up because of the memories, so was startled when Raynare said "You know that the hardest thing I ever did was killing you?"
"Wha-a-at?" Harry stuttered in surprise, Raynare had been laughing like a maniac as his world turned black.
Raynare sat up, pulling the blanket around her body more tightly as she sighed. "Yes, how could I kill my own brother in cold blood? I just couldn't, Harry, I just couldn't do it!"
Harry was at a loss for words, his murderer couldn't kill him?! "But, you did-!"
Raynare gave him a sharp look, "I never did kill you, I never could. It was my boss, Kokabiel, that did, he used a shape changing spell before making it so I had to watch you die in your own blood IN FRONT OF THE DOOR THAT HELD THE DRAGON ORDER!"
Raynare was now in tears as she continued "I looked for you when I felt your aura return and was I surprised when you found me in the abandoned church yesterday, but your hatred was misplaced as you attacked me with everything you had. I still see you as my brother from all those years ago, Hadrian and that will never change, I swear on my angelic magic!"
Raynare glowed white and her wings started changing to white before returning to black, the oath on her magic was sealed. Harry was so shocked that his armor vanished from his body and left him in his black shirt and pants, Raynare rolled her eyes before pulling Harry next to her side and placed his head on her lap. The blanket was wrapped around both of them as Raynare brushed his hair with her hand, just like she did all those years ago. The knight started crying, Raynare comforted him until they both fell asleep.
Several hours later, Issei was heard screaming, yes, Issei had stayed at the ORC that night and woke the rest of the club with his screaming. It was also didn't help that Issei was rammed against the wall when he tried to do something perverted with Raynare, being held by Harry, who was very ticked off at the Red Dragon Emperor. Not to mention that there was a Lamia and a black shadowy figure that was phasing in and out. Raynare had the blanket firmly around her body, a very dark look on her face and was flushed slightly.
"You don't touch my sister in any perverted way, got me?!" Harry hissed dangerously at Issei, "Raynare is not someone to ogle at nor is she a visual pleasure object, so try another thing like that again and I will end you, I don't care if you have one of my trainers as your partner, I will not stand my sister treated as that, GOT ME!?"
Issei and Ddraig both declared "We promise!"
"Hadrian, the others have arrived." The Lamia said sweetly as she turned and bowed respectively to the others.
The black shifting humanoid stood up straight and folded his arms over his chest, saying something that everyone but Harry, Raynare, and the Lamia understood.
"V, you either speak english or I'll have to wash your mouth out." Raynare scolded the fluctuating humanoid, who was rubbing the back of his head.
"Sorry…I, never mind…" V said gruffly, before looking at the floor.
The ORC looked at the Lamia and phasing humanoid with confusion, until a giggle made them spin around.
"Nya, Harry, you have such power over this room, nya!" Kuroka said as she stepped from the shadows, her revealing black kimono making Issei faint from his nose bleed.
"Kuroka, sometimes you make the most daring of men fall to the earth because of that kimono you wear." V said as he moved over and picked up the unconscious dragon emperor, putting him into the unused arm chair.
"Not like she is willing to wear anything else, V." A deep, dark voice spoke from behind the stray devil, before stepping into the light.
The figure stood eight feet tall and was covered head to foot with dark purple armor, In his right hand was a massive spiked axe and his left had a shield that was the height of the beings' chest. The inside of his helmet glowed blood red and seemed to brighten and darken, like he was breathing. It was an imposing sight and made the ORC members take a step back at the sheer presence of the armored figure. The silence was broken when Kiba gasped, making everyone look at him.
"Your a JuggerKnight, one of the Chaos Empires strongest warriors!"
The JuggerKnight gave the young man a dark gaze before snorting "So, they do teach you about the ancient past of the underworld. I'm impressed."
They were interrupted by a teleportation magic circle, the symbol of a phoenix was in the center of the magic spell. Harry summoned his armor before the man stepped out of the circle and into the light of the morning sun. Harry had heard of Riser Phenex, the boy was the third son of the Phenex family that was one of the 72 pillars that remained in the underworld.
"Ah, Rias, I believe it is time to come back for your wedding." The devil said, not even noticing the others in the crowded room.
"Riser, I will not marry you and that's final!" Rias declared, her aura of power starting to leak out.
"Bird boy is very rude, isn't he, Kuroka?" JuggerKnight stated making said person turn and pale at the massive knight, Kuroka was giggling behind her hand.
"Riser is always rude," V paused before continuing "And pompous in addition to being overconfident in his skills, but the only thing he is good at is playing with fire like a fool."
That set the room off, Riser was very cross now but was stopped when he noticed Kuroka. "So, the stray comes out to play. I'll get the money on your head when I bring you in!"
Harry stepped in and snarled "You want to try, be my guest. You'll have to go through me and the rest of my guild to do it, oh and JuggerKnight is very protective of Kuroka."
Riser just laughed "You couldn't beat me in a [Rating Game]! You're just a low-class devil-urk!"
Raynare had just gut punched the fool, her anger was clearly visible. The Lamia had a rapier out and was ready to gut the devil at a moment's notice, V was solid and had tentacle flowing out of his back, Kuroka had a magic circle spell in each hand, ready to be cast and JuggerKnight was growling.
"You want a fight, then you have one, turkey boy!" Raynare hissed venomously at the shaken Riser.
"Raynare," Harry placed a calm hand on the fallen angels shoulder before he said to Riser "You will face us in a [Rating Game] and everything will be placed on the table. You have two days to prepare, Riser Phenex, you better start training your peerage."
"Gabrielle," Harry said after the third son of Phenex had vanished, "Could you please make us something to drink?"
The Lamia smiled as she sheathed her rapier, "Of course, Harry."
"Harry turned to the stunned peerage before asking "Anything you want to ask me?"
