Grab some popcorn, and make sure that seat of yours is dry, as it will be completely wet after this!
Magical Devils
Chapter 16/Season 2 – Episode 5: The Ultimate Showdown at Kuoh Academy
** At the 'Dorms' **
"They're WHAT?!"
Those were the sounds of Kazuki's family and maids. They've just received information about what is happening at Kuoh Academy as Dr. Akai and Shino came in earlier and what they saw.
"Yes. A huge Fallen Angel is about to destroy this very town we're living," said Dr. Akai.
"That means that hundreds of thousands of people will die!" said Saori, clearly worried.
"No one does something cruel like that unless I say so!" said Liera, leader of the MMM Maid Team. "Everyone! We're going to assist Kazuki and his friends in school!"
[YES!] said the rest of the maids as they immediately leave for Kuoh Academy.
"We're coming too!" said Tsuyuha. "With a large threat like this, we have to give them all the help they can get!"
The sisters nodded as they began to leave.
"We'll wait here in case one of those enemies pulls a fast one here," said Kaya, while Aya nodded silently.
"And I'll be on the lookout to see everything," said Dr. Akai.
"Good luck and come back safe," said Shino.
"Don't worry. We will!" Hisae told her.
** At the Kuoh Academy entrance **
Rias, Sona and their peerages appeared near the school with their servants, along with Himari, who's wearing a red kimono with cat pawprints on them, Kuesu, Shizuku, Yuna, Kuriko, Rin, Chihaya and the two Fallen Angels, Raynare and Kalawarner.
"Everyone," Himari started. "Thy enemies we're about to fight, should not be underestimated at all. Especially with Ageha and Sasa. They're known to be VERY tricky and sneaky, and they are certainly going to be helpful with Kokabiel."
"Then we should call the Great Satans here," said Akeno.
"Out of the question," both Rias and Sona answered.
The two peerages all wondered why the two Presidents said that. They all knew that their Satan-siblings could handle this situation easily, but with 7 people from Kawakami City helping out Kokabiel, Rias and Sona may have made the right decision.
"And it's possible that they have a lot of recruits guarding the area making our jobs a lot harder," said Sona. Then she reached a conclusion. "Rias, I will set the barrier up with my peerage to keep this incident contained. You, your peerage, and Kazuki's friends should handle the main army."
"Of course," Rias smugly responded. "After all, my peerage is more powerful in fighting than yours."
"Now is not the time to be arrogant in this matter," Kuesu said, surprising everyone.
"I do believe Kuesu is right on this one, you know," said Shizuku.
Just then, the Sitri Queen, Tsubaki Shinra, appeared through a portal, appearing next to Sona.
"How is Irina?" Kazuki asked the Vice-President.
"She'll be fine," Tsubaki answered simply.
"And how are we going to handle this?" Kalawarner asked. "This is Kokabiel we're talking about! He is one of the most powerful of the Fallen Angels!"
"We have no chance against his enormous power, let alone his powerful army!" Raynare added.
"Not only that, but they also have those Stray Devils we've fought earlier, and have taken one of our classmates hostage!" Yuna said.
"And they also have one of the Top 10 Strongest People in the world!" Kuriko followed.
"Which gives us more reasons why we HAVE to win!" Rias said. "If we fail, then another war will break out and all sides will be annihilated. And the kind of help we need wouldn't arrive in time so we have to think of something ourselves. However, what I do know is that Kazuki will be the Ultimate Key in defeating Kokabiel!"
"Yeah. With his Boosted Gear and the 10 Commandments Sword, he can transfer his boosted power and some of his magic to all of us, then we can all weaken him and his minions, and then Kazuki can finish him off," said Rin.
"As expected of Rin thinking up a great plan quickly!" said Chihaya.
"But what if that fails?" asked Koneko.
"Then we improvise something," Rias answered.
"Buchou, I've called Lord Sirzechs and he is on his way with his troops," Akeno said, appearing behind Rias.
"Akeno! I told you not to call him!" Rias shouted.
"There is no choice. We are dealing with a powerful Fallen Angel, Stray Devils, and some of the strongest people in the world."
"And don't forget that Takae is a cyborg who can fight with powerful arms, legs, and has guns attached to her, and they could be filling those bullets that injure all of us greatly," said Kuriko.
"I'll make sure that she doesn't fire a single shot…" said Koneko, cracking her knuckles.
Then Raynare and Kalawarner got a message from their phones. It was from Azazel.
"Oh, thank goodness!" said Raynare. "Azazel just sent help. He told us to fight to our very limit!"
"Then we will not hold back," said Kalawarner. "Even with the new level of power we have, we know we're no match, but we won't be Azazel's Fallen Angels if we don't try!"
"See? You have to believe in yourself, even if the odds are stacked against you," said Rias.
"Then let's save this school, save our classmate and defeat that powerful enemy, Kokabiel!" said Kazuki.
[YES!] they all replied.
"Alright then, let's get started!" Tsubaki said.
The Sitri peerage concentrated on their magical energies, all of them levitating into the air with magic symbols beneath their feet. Their combined powers created a barrier around the school to mask it from any outsiders and keep the damage from spreading to the city.
However, that didn't take long.
BREAK!
The barrier was quickly shattered, surprising everyone.
"What?" Sona asked.
"How did our barrier break so quickly?" Gen, the Sitri pawn asked.
"That would be us," said a new voice.
The two peerages all quickly looked to see Gyobu Shakadou and the 4 Itagaki siblings, Ami, Angel, Tatsuko, and Ryuuhei. Behind them are about 75 men armed with various weapons from machine guns to rifles to hand grenades to shotguns, including AK-47s, all filled with powerful bullets that can penetrate through 3 humans.
"Making a shield like that will be useless," said Shakadou. "Keep creating those shields, and I'll easily break them like a paper cup."
"It's no use for trying to enter the school," said Ami. "The ritual is already halfway done, and soon, this town will be destroyed."
"And with our troops ready to fire our special holy-powered bullets through you, it all ends here," said Angel.
The Gremory and Sitri peerages are completely stunned. They couldn't believe that they would be outnumbered quickly before even entering the school area.
"What do we do now?" Kazuki asked. "Even if we try to attack them, they could be quick to avoid them and attack us quickly before we know it."
Both Rias and Sona gritted their teeth. They knew that time was running out.
"Rias," said Sona. "We'll fight them."
"Sona!" said Rias.
"I want you to know that you are my best friend and rival. I know for a fact that we'll make it out alive. We'll buy you some time. Trust me on this one."
Rias couldn't help but shed a few tears.
"Right! We'll go. I won't forgive you if ANY one of your servants gets killed!" said Rias.
"Don't worry. This will give us a good experience," said Sona.
"Kazuki! Make a shield quickly so we can transport!" said Rias.
"Right!" answered Kazuki as he did just that.
"As if we'll let you escape!" Ryuuhei said. "Men! On my mark!"
Kazuki quickly created a powerful shield protecting both peerages as Ryuuhei's troops fired at them. Kazuki's shield was strong enough to deflect their attacks and Rias took the opportunity to create a magic portal to transfer her peerage and Kazuki's friends to the school ground.
Meanwhile, Sona and her peerage were getting ready to battle Shakadou and his gang.
"How are we going to stop them without being shot?" asked Ruruko Nimura, Sitri's other pawn.
"We'll figure out something, I'm sure," said Sona.
"We have come to help!" said a new voice.
Sure enough, Sona and her peerage got their wish, and they were surprised to see…
"Ms. Shikimori?!" Sona asked.
Tsuyuha, Hisae, and Saori Shikimori, along with the MMM Maid Team…
"Liera Scharnhorst!"
"L-Lizlett L. Chelsie!"
"Azumi Oshitari!"
"Lee Jinchu!"
"Stacy Connor!"
"Iroha!"
"Fubuki!"
"Shizuka!" "Tsurara!"
"The Masked Woman…"
"Airi!"
"Mahoro!"
"Musubi!"
"Tsukiumi!"
"And Hildegarde!"
[ALL READY FOR BATTLE!]
"We'll create a barrier for you, Sona!" said Tsuyuha. "Hisae! Saori!"
"Yes!" the two other Shikimori sisters said.
The 3 Shikimori sisters created a barrier that is 1000 times stronger than Sona's peerage combined.
"Too easy!" said Shakadou, punching the barrier, but only this time, the barrier didn't break.
"Just because you got more help, doesn't mean you're going to win!" said Ami, readying her staff while Angel readied hers.
Tatsuko opened her eyes, showing a menacing glare, and pulled a huge light pole like it was a walking stick. Sona and the others were surprised at how strong Tatsuko is.
"Hey! Don't forget me!"
Then came the MMM's "Secret Weapon"…
"Thunder Maki is here!"
Thunder, ranked #0, and she readied her sharp sword.
"Now this should be good," said Shakadou, making his battle stance.
"I'll take care of this one," said Musubi, making a battle stance of her own.
"I call the purple-haired creep," said Hilda.
"I got a name, you know!" said Ami angrily.
"I call the red-haired brat!" said Airi, preparing her scythe.
"You're just asking for trouble, you slobby b*tch!" said Angel.
"Looking at her holding that light pole, I think I'll tackle this one," said Fubuki, grabbing a metal baseball bat, with spikes on top.
"Do you really think that will stop me?" asked Tatsuko in a dark tone voice.
"Then the rest of us will handle all these men!" said Liera, grabbing her gun, while the others prepare for battle, but Liz knew she was not going to like this.
"Why does it have to be like this?" she asked.
"We have to help them as well!" said Sona. "Kazuki's family and maids are doing us such a huge favor, so we have to give back. Like Rias said, I won't forgive my servants who are either weak or killed. Now, let's show them what we're made of!"
[YES, STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT SONA!] said the Sitri peerage.
And just like that, the intense battles began.
** At the Kuoh Academy Main Building **
Rias, her Peerage, Kuesu, Himari, Shizuku, Yuna, Chihaya, Kuriko, Rin, Raynare, and Kalawarner all arrived inside, where Rias addresses the situation to them.
"You all know what's at stake here. If Kokabiel succeeds, then all factions, including humans and Ayakashi, will suffer greatly and everything that Kazuki and his family have done will all be destroyed. It's only thanks to him that we are the strong Peerage everyone knows and loves because of Kazuki's sacrifices and our way of life has been preserved. We must make sure that it stays that way."
[YES, BUCHOU!] everyone except Kazuki said.
"Are you ready to do this?" Kazuki asked his Sacred Gears.
[Leave it to me, Partner. Kokabiel may have a lot of powerful allies with him, but they'll all not insufficient opponents. And with your magic, you'll surprise everyone. Let's show them!] said Ddraig.
{If necessary, I'll show him and his minions why I'm The Holy Dragon.} said Thyrus.
"Yes, it's time to see what you're really made of," said Rias. "Promote yourself to Queen."
Kazuki did just that as he instantly felt his powers and abilities increase. He also gave some of magic to Raynare, Kalawarner, Shizuku, Kuesu, Yuna, Kuriko, Rin, Chihaya, and Himari, and they all never felt so strong in their lives.
"We certainly need all the help we can get," said Kazuki.
"Smart move…" said Koneko to herself, blushing a little bit.
"But wait!" interrupted Yuna. "Yuuto isn't here yet!"
"Knowing him, he'll come. I know he's safe," said Kazuki.
** At Valshion's House **
The Peerage of Serena Asmoday and Valshion are getting ready to go to Kuoh Academy.
"Now, my servants!" said Serena. "Sanosuke has already gone to the school and we'll be there shortly. Valshion will draw Kokabiel's attention. Keep in mind that Saya is being held hostage, so this is not only a battle to save her, but a battle between life and death! Even so, I will not forgive you if you die! We will survive and continue to attend that school!"
[YES!] Serena's Peerage replied, but Keisuke still had his doubts, but he knew he had to try.
"And I'm going to teach that Kokabiel a lesson that he will never forget for the rest of his life!" Valshion finished , scaring Keisuke a little bit.
'I don't like her when she's angry,' he thought to himself.
** At The Kuoh Academy Sports Field **
The Gremory Group has entered the Sports Field, and there was a battlefield in the making: There were the crazy psycho-priest and evil Archbishop, Freed Sellzen and Valper Galilei, respectively at the center of it with a strange device that was creating an odd magic symbol in the air, on the ground and on the points of it were the Holy Swords, where the two evil Ayakashi, Ageha and Sasa, along with Takae and Saki were guarding them.
Kokabiel was sitting on a rather 'corrupted' golden throne-like object that was levitating in the air, and next to him was the Queen of the Stray Devils, Savalia, sitting on a smaller version of Kokabiel's chair, and in front of them guarding the two were the rest of the Stray Devil Peerage: the 2 bishops Souta and Amanda, Kojiro the knight, the two rooks Zhang Yue and Kilboar, and the remaining Pawns Joe, Ivan, Kisara, Diana, Xander and Dean.
"Is Sirzechs or Leviathan coming here?" Kokabiel asked to Rias.
"We are here in their place," President answered.
"Then Tachibana, do the honors please," said Kokabiel.
Takae nodded and brought out a Rocket Launcher M1, and fired of what looks like to be a large arrow. In fact, that is actually Kokabiel's Light Spear loaded into that weapon, and it aimed towards the gym building.
The result is devastating.
BOOM!
Everyone gasped as the Gymnasium got completely destroyed in seconds.
Even Raynare and Kalawarner couldn't believe their eyes.
"Can we even defeat an enemy like this?" asked Kazuki.
[Of course. He survived against God and Lucifer, but he can be defeated with your magic, but if I turn most of your body into a Dragon, your chances of defeating him will double.] said Ddraig.
"Let's see if it comes to that," Kazuki told Ddraig.
"This is it! For Lord Azazel!" said Raynare as she and Kalawarner got into their battle stances.
"Well, since you're here," said Savalia. "Kokabiel has given us a few 'gifts', and we want to share them with you."
Once Savalia finished saying that, an energy beam shot out from the bottom from Kokabiel and the Stray Devils, and created a hole with a pillar flame coming out.
They all saw a figure in the flames and a three-headed hellhound with lava pouring from all three mouths came out, followed by SIX more of them! They were each about the size of a horse.
"Cerebai, spawns of Cerebus, the watchdogs of Hades!" both Rias and Akeno gasped.
"C-C-Cerebus!" gasped Yuna in horror.
"Asia, get back! Yuna, protect her!" Kazuki stated.
Yuna and Asia did just that as Kazuki began to manifest both the Boosted Gear and the 10 Commandments Sword. This time, he has the Explosion sword ready.
"Kazuki, start boosting up!" President ordered.
"Yes!" Kazuki answered.
[BOOST!]
"We'll give you some time to boost!" said Himari as she and Chihaya appeared in front of Kazuki.
"Akeno! Koneko! Rin! Kuriko! Shizuku! Kuesu!" Rias shouted and Koneko attacked the nearest dog.
Akeno made her miko outfit appear on her body and she and Shizuku created a storm of huge icicles, combining their ice and water powers to freeze the flames the other dog lashed out at Rias and themselves, also hitting one of the dogs' legs in the process, forcing the dog to yelp in pain.
While Rias and Akeno flew up with their wings, with Akeno carrying Shizuku, Yuna, Rin, and Kuriko flew off using their own magic taking care of another dog. Raynare and Kalawarner followed them, throwing light spears at the other dogs. Their powers did hurt the hellhounds, but they had to hit their vital organs to kill them.
One dog ran towards Kazuki, Himari and Chihaya, in which Chihaya used enough magic to freeze the dog's legs and Himari cutting all of them down, killing the dog instantly.
[BOOST!]
'Not yet,' Kazuki thought when he got another boost.
Meanwhile, Koneko landed a strong kick on one of the dogs' middle head, which made the beast stumble a little bit. That gave Kuriko enough time to slay the beast by placing two talismans on the dog's remaining two heads that read 'DISINTEGRATE'!
BLAM!
Raynare and Kalawarner managed to kill one dog when their spears hit the left head in the brain and heart.
Rias and Akeno kept throwing their Power of Destruction and lightning bolts at the three dogs attacking them. That gave Kuesu some time to create a powerful spell to create a huge wall of flames, surprising the dogs a little bit. Then, Shizuku lowered her green hair and her long strands of hair managed to grab one of the dogs' heads and legs. Rin then sliced its heads, killing the dog.
Another dog came to attack Kazuki, Himari, and Chihaya, but before the girls could make their move, the middle head was cut off!
"Who did that?" Chihaya asked.
"That would be me. I came to help," the person said in mid-air with a battle smile.
"Xenovia!" Kazuki shouted while Xenovia and Himari double-teamed the dog and cut the remaining two heads.
[BOOST!]
"As expected from the Crimson Blade of Noihara and the Holy Sword of Destruction," said Akeno.
"We can certainly get all the help we can get," said Rias.
"KAZUKI!"
They all heard screams from Asia and Yuna as another hellhound was running towards them.
"ASIA! YUNA!" Kazuki shouted, and immediately used his magic to kill the dog by exploding.
The others were impressed by Kazuki's quick actions.
"As expected from the 'Strongest Magician'", said Rias smiling.
However, the danger was not over yet.
"Very impressive," said the Stray Devil bishop, Souta. "However, you all have forgotten one more thing."
The group all heard the chains rattle, and they all saw Saya, who was wrapped around the waist in chains, being lowered from a nearby tree.
"It's our new classmate, Saya!" Himari shouted. Saya is completely unconscious. When Saya was on the ground, Rias and Akeno both ran up to the girl to see if there were any traces of magic on her.
"Now, if two don't mind, then die along with that girl!" Souta shouted as ANOTHER hellhound came out of nowhere and were only feet away from the 3 girls.
Kazuki and the others didn't have enough time to try to defeat the beast, and just as it was about to attack the 3 girls, it was impaled when several blades appeared from the ground.
It was Yuuto who landed in front of the 3 girls, while carrying Saya bridal-style.
"Yuuto!" Asia and Yuna shouted in relief.
[BOOST!]
"President! Akeno!" Kazuki shouted.
"Kazuki!" Rias said as she and Akeno flew towards them.
"Yuna! I'm giving you some of my power, too!"
Yuna blushed and nodded.
"Let's go, Boosted Gear Gift!" shouted Kazuki.
[TRANSFER!]
"KYAHH!" The King, Queen, and Kazuki's childhood friend cried out when they felt the power flowing in them almost painfully.
"TAKE THIS!" Rias shouted as she created a huge magic seal made from her Power of Destruction in the air, while Yuna and Akeno made a powerful fireball and a huge bolt of lightning go through it.
"Let me make this powerful as well!" Kuesu shouted as she made another powerful spell to increase the girls' attack 10 times, shocking, burning, and obliterating the remaining dogs in the span of 5 seconds!
"Amazing…" said Kazuki in awe.
"That is very interesting," Kokabiel stated as he noticed that the strong attack is now heading towards him and the Stray Devils.
"However, it's not very interesting enough!" laughed Souta as he created a huge whirlwind to take the attack somewhere else, and onto the baseball field, destroying it completely, surprising the Gremory group.
"So, you're this powerful with Sekiryutei's Power. Interesting, indeed," said Zhang Yue.
"That means we're going to have to take you down right here, right now!" said the other Stray Devil bishop Amanda.
They all heard gushes of wind, burst of fire and lightning rushing towards them! Kazuki managed to create a shield, protecting them all, before it got broken from a punch by none other than Takae Tachibana!
"Nice try," said Takae pulling out her two submachine guns. "But with these holy-water infused bullets, your journey ends here."
However, Takae had to avoid a surprise attack from Kuesu, who pulled her gun in the nick of time.
"Fire one shot at them, and I'll have your head!" Kuesu said in a venomous tone.
"Takae! Watch out! That witch is very powerful!" said Saki. "I'll help you avoid her attacks."
Takae nodded as another shootout began. Of course, Takae had the upper-hand with the sub-machine guns and a half-cyborg body, but Kuesu was determined to defeat her!
Then, another wave of wind, fire and lightning were coming towards the group, but in a different direction. Kazuki was taken by surprise! The others braced themselves for the worst, but a box made out of Holy Swords came out of nowhere and covered them from the elemental assault.
"Yuuto! Well done!" said Rias.
"That wasn't me," he said in surprise.
"Of course it wouldn't," said a new voice.
Everyone around the area was surprised to see a man with messy long black hair and golden brown eyes. Yuuto and Kazuki knew who he was.
"Sanosuke!" Yuuto said.
The girls couldn't help but blush a little bit by his appearance, but Raynare and Kalawarner were deeply shocked.
"S-Sanosuke?" asked Raynare.
"Ray-Ray. Kala. We meet again," said Sanosuke.
Both girls blushed at Sanosuke calling their nicknames.
"I'll explain about all of this later," continued Sanosuke.
"Well, well, well!" said Kokabiel. "If it isn't the son of the father who tried to stop the Holy Sword Project completely, Sanosuke Kiriya!"
The Gremory members and Kazuki's friends gasped as Sanosuke grew crosser.
BONG! BONG! BONG!
The clock struck 12:00 midnight as the bell sounded 3 times.
"What timing!" said Saki. "It's finally complete!"
"Damn!" Kazuki cursed.
"The combination of the swords gives me and these Stray Devils a massive boost of power, which will destroy this city!" Kokabiel stated.
"Seriously?" Kalawarner asked.
"You should escape," Valper finally said. "Within 20 minutes, this city will be destroyed. Even your barrier and that kid's barrier won't be able to stop this."
"Oh, but wait!" Ageha said. "There is actually a much FASTER way to destroy this city!"
"And what's that?" Kokabiel asked.
"That!" she pointed upward.
Everyone looked up, and what they saw next was unbelievable, but Himari knew what it was and it made her heart skip a beat.
What they saw was a GIANT Ayakashi staring down at everyone, but it didn't see a mysterious man, hiding at a very unusual place, who is watching the battle unfold in front of him.
The creature stood six or seven feet stories tall and it had gray skin with black wrist and upper arm bands. It had a black jewel or something on its stomach, and it also had metallic gray shoulder pads. Also, it had razor sharp nails that seem strong enough to scratch a mountain in half without putting a dent on it. Finally, its face had a black dot with a circle around it and there were two dots on each side.
"Daidarabotchi?!" Himari cried out in surprise calling out the creatures' name or species.
"It's huge!" Kazuki said, gaping at the sight of the huge Ayakashi.
"To think that thou hast brought such a creature here," Himari said while a drip of sweat came over her face. This isn't going to be good. With a huge creature like that, it would take TWO Peerages to defeat THIS monster!
"Now, watch this!" Ageha said and pointed to an area over yonder.
The Daidarabotchi did nothing as it looked at Ageha, who looked puzzled for a moment before understanding what it wants. A large beam was forming in front of the large Ayakashi's face, and then fired the large beam through the barrier and at what Ageha was pointing to, which happens to be a part of the city!
BLAM!
Over 50 buildings were destroyed, and hundreds of people were killed instantly!
"THE CITY!" Rias shouted, while the others gasped in disbelief.
Kokabiel couldn't help but laugh. "Hahahahahahaha! Now that is a wonderful surprise!"
"Indeed!" said Ageha. "And if you can combine the swords powers with him, he'll destroy this entire city within TEN minutes!"
Everyone gasped again.
Even the Stray Devils couldn't suppress their laughter any longer at the thought of having this city destroyed in less time than they expected.
Clap…Clap…
"Well played, Ageha," the former Queen, Savalia said, clapping her hands. It was then that she revealed her true form. Her real form was a tall, tanned, voluptuous young woman. What she wore would make people call her an exhibitionist. Her body was basically bare if not for the thin straps of leather that covered her private areas. Bits of armor placed on her right shoulder, left thigh, and both forearms along with kneepads, and elbow pads. She had long silver hair and crimson red eyes. Hanging by the waist was a sheathed scimitar on her left and at the back was a dagger. She held a villainous smirk as she began holding on to Kokabiel's arm, making the group narrow their eyes in anger.
"So those dogs were just a warmup. That huge monster is the real deal!" Savalia laughed as she and Kokabiel kissed each other in front of everyone.
"What will you do now, Rias Gremory?!" the Cadre-level Fallen Angel shouted as he and Savalia started to fly with their wings, still holding each other.
"DESTROY ALL OF YOU!" Rias shouted and launched another attack at them with Akeno, Yuna, and Kuriko.
Kokabiel caught the orbs of magic and combined them. "Pitiful," he said and threw the massive orb at Rias.
"Buchou!" Akeno, Yuna and Kuriko shouted and they all created a large shield of magic.
When the orb hit the shield, Rias and Yuna were knocked back and Akeno and Kuriko fell towards the ground, both taking most of the damage.
"Akeno! Kuriko!" Kazuki shouted to them and see that they are seriously hurt. "Asia!"
The blonde ex-nun quickly hurried towards them while Yuuto and Sanosuke both headed towards the Archbishop.
"Valper Galilei, I am Yuuto Kiba."
"And I'm Sanosuke Kiriya, and as you know by now, we are the only two survivors who escaped the Holy Sword Project."
"So, you two are here," Valper said smugly. "Sanosuke, your father used to be a great swordsman and a great help to this project with the power of his knowledge, but thanks to him, he managed to let you and the other one escape. But it seems like I will finally see the disposal of all test subjects to be completed."
"You had all of our friends and my father killed for nothing!" Sanosuke said angrily.
"Yeah, and I have lived solely to have revenge for them!" Yuuto continued. "And now, nothing will save you!"
"Oh really?" Valper asked, still smiling smugly. "Freed, why not come out and play?" Freed appeared right next to him with the newly-fused Excalibur sword.
"Now that the more complete Excalibur has been forged…it's time for you to have some fun," the Genocidal Archbishop said.
"And we'll start by eliminating those Devils and those obnoxious magic people you see in front of you!" Kokabiel ordered.
"Of course! Sometimes I think my boss and that sl*tty queen and the awesome Shakadou are all crazier than me, but as long as I use this Master Excalibur to cut up a lot of people, including those Ayakashi I really want to kill, I don't care," Freed said with a blatant evil smile.
"I never once thought that the two survivors in front of me would become such a filthy devil, and an even filthier half-Fallen Angel, but thanks to Sanosuke's father, I was able to complete the rest of the project," Valper said.
The others gasped when they found out that Sanosuke is a Half-Fallen Angel. However, Yuuto and Sanosuke both gasped in disbelief, pausing as the Genocidal Archbishop came closer and closer to them.
"Your friends didn't have enough genes required to use the swords, so I had to extract the required genes from them, which resulted in their deaths. When your father found this out, Sanosuke, he immediately called off the project, but I too extracted his genes as well as he also had full potential of using the swords, but I didn't want to be found out," Valper explained.
"Even Lord Azazel wouldn't kill those that have potential, no matter how small it is," said an angry Kalawarner.
"I had the remaining ones disposed of, but I was, however, able to crystallize the genes," the Archbishop said as he showed Yuuto and Sanosuke a strange crystal vial.
"Is that…?" Yuuto gasped.
"This one has the genes of your friends, but this…" Valper showed a much larger one to Sanosuke. "…is the genes of your father, and it also happened to be the very last one."
"Hyahahahaha! Most who received that died because they couldn't handle the genes! And that father of his HAD to be killed so we can make a clean getaway! And with 3 of them used on me, that makes me even more special!" Freed shouted and launched an attack towards Koneko and Shizuku in which they both managed to avoid the surprise attack, while Takae turned her attention from Kuesu to Rias and Akeno and proceeded to shoot them.
The Gremory group were now forced to fight back while Xenovia looked at the two vials and gasped.
'That's the same one Irina received when she got the blessing. To think that people were killed to get it. And the Church used them still,' she thought as her loyalty to the Church began to plummet from this relevation.
"Those hypocrites! Excommunicating me as a pagan and still using my research!" Valper commented with disdain.
"There was no need to kill my friends, or even Sanosuke's father! We all thought that it was for God and endured any pain we received for the entire time!" Yuuto said, getting ready to strike, along with Sanosuke, who was only minutes away from reaching his breaking point.
"You were all just materials for this project, and when it was all said and done, the only thing left to do was to expose of the excess material," Valper countered.
Yuuto's friends all listened to his and Sanosuke's story and all felt terrible for the knight and the Half Fallen Angel.
"How horrible," Asia whimpered in sadness.
Valper tossed the two dials at Yuuto's and Sanosuke's feet.
"You guys can have it. We can already mass-produce higher quality ones."
"Valper. I have to know. After the killing of my father, how many more lives did you destroy for your research and desires?" Sanosuke asked as he and Yuuto both clutched on to the vials tightly.
"You realize that you've both just taken one step closer to death," said Savalia, knowing that fusing a vial to a Devil, and to a Half-Fallen Angel were proven fatal.
Valper smirked at this too, but what he, the Stray Devils, and Kokabiel didn't expect was to see the orbs started giving out shallow light that started to spread and eventually covered the whole field. The blue lights then started to take the shape in the form of figures of boys and girls and appeared around Yuuto and Sanosuke.
"What the heck…" asked Kazuki.
"Are those people?" finished Asia.
"It seems that Yuuto's and Sanosuke's hearts have released the souls in the crystal," Akeno deduced.
"This is amazing," said Raynare.
"Every day I thought to myself 'Do I really deserve to live?' when my friends were dead. They had more dreams than I did. They wanted to live more than me," Yuuto said sadly.
"And I tried my best to avoid dreaming about my father. I kept asking to myself 'Why did he have to die so soon?' Worse, I cannot even produce light spears like many other Fallen Angels. I have to use my light energy on bow and arrows," said Sanosuke.
Akeno, Raynare, and Kalawarner were saddened by what Sanosuke said. They really felt sorry for him.
Then one of the spirits gripped Yuuto's sleeve and he finally noticed them. He looked at the little girl, then the others. Sanosuke soon followed.
"…[Don't worry about us anymore. You are alive at least.]…"
Tears were coming down from both Yuuto's and Sanosuke's eyes, and then the spirits began to move their lips in a rhythm, as if they're singing a song.
"…The Sacred Song," Asia said before Yuuto sang along.
The spirits started to glow blue-white, glowing brighter with Yuuto and Sanosuke in the middle.
"[We were no good alone.]
[We didn't have enough elements to wield the Holy Swords. But…]
[It will be okay if we are together.]
[Especially from me.]"
That last voice made Sanosuke's heart skip a beat. The last orb began to glow and this time, it was much lighter and whiter than the other ones. It came in the form of a large man. A large man that Sanosuke knows all too well.
"F-Father...?" Sanosuke asked.
"[My son. I'm very proud of you. I never knew that you would grow up so much, and I know that your mother is suffering very dreadfully as well.]"
"[It's the man who tried to save us from getting killed. Shinichi Kiriya!]"
The spirits all cheered for the man who they admired for all these years. Even Yuuto and the others couldn't believe it.
"[He made us overcome our weaknesses!]"
"[He made us feel stronger every day even in the darkest moments!]"
"[He let us know that we would all be free one day, thanks to him!]"
Yuuto and Sanosuke couldn't suppress their tears any longer as they cried for the man who did so much for all of them.
"[Listen, my son. I know about what you and Yuuto did up to this point. I'm glad that you didn't die so you could avenge me. I'm glad that you both have a chance at life. You two are like brothers, even in your childhood. I even thought of you as a second son to me, Yuuto.]"
Yuuto and Sanosuke cried uncontrollably as they've felt such kindness from Shinichi. Even the Gremory group began to cry from this.
Then the spirits all held hands and held Yuuto's and Sanosuke's hands as Shinichi continued,
"[Right now, you have to help your friends. You both have to accept the Holy Swords. It's not scary. Even if there's no God watching all over us, all of our hearts, especially mine and your mother's, will soon become ONE.]"
As soon as Shinichi finished, all of the spirits have fused equally inside Yuuto and Sanosuke.
Valper and the Stray Devils were shocked that Yuuto and Sanosuke were still standing. They should have died from the holiness of the vials alone.
{Kazuki!} roared Thyrus.
"Yes?" asked Kazuki.
{That knight and even that Half Fallen-Angel have reached it!}
"You mean Balance Breaker?"
[Yes. Sacred Gears change and evolve using the possessors' feelings as a medium, but it's different from this. When the feelings and wishes of the possessor does a dramatic change that it can change the flow of the world, the Sacred Gear unlocks Balance Breaker state.] explained Ddraig.
Everyone, especially Rias, gasped in awe that Yuuto and even Sanosuke both obtained Balance Breaker, the forbidden power that could disrupt the balance of the world.
"My friends and even Sanosuke's father wanted me to seek revenge, but I felt that Sanosuke and I will have to destroy you…" said Yuuto.
"…so you couldn't do the same to everyone else!" finished Sanosuke as he got his bow and arrow ready while Yuuto made his sword appear from a magic circle.
"FREED!" Valper shouted in panic.
"Sure! I'll defeat this devil and this worthless Fallen Angel for you!" Freed shouted.
"YUUTO! Don't waste your friends' souls and spirits by losing!" Kazuki shouted. "The same goes for your father who did so much for you, Sanosuke!"
"You are a Knight of the Gremory household. No knight of mine would lose to Excalibur, and neither would his friend," Rias stated.
"Fight, my senior!" Koneko said.
"Go for it, Yuuto and Sanosuke!" said Yuna.
"Don't lose, Yuuto and Sanosuke," said Asia.
"Take them down!" said Rin.
"I won't forgive you if you lose," said Kuriko.
"Win!" said Chihaya.
"We believe in you, Yuuto and Sanosuke," said Akeno and Himari.
"You must fight to win, you know…" said Shizuku.
"Kill that archbishop you see in front of you!" said Kuesu.
"Defeat that maniac!" both said Raynare and Kalawarner.
"Everyone…" said Yuuto.
"There's no way we would lose!" said Sanosuke.
"HA! That b*tchy father of yours deserved to be killed! And now, with this worthless emotional event you guys are making, it's such a nuisance. The worst, even! Just listening to that old man makes me want to puke over and over again! With this Master Excalibur, I'll cut both of you down so I'll feel MUCH better!" Freed shouted in disgust.
"Freed Sellzan, Sanosuke and I can overcome you together with my friends and Sanosuke's father whose souls have merged with us. Now, our dreams can finally be accomplished. SWORD BIRTH!" Yuuto shouted and from the hilt of the sword, a wave of darkness and light appeared and fused in the blade.
"What the hell is that?!" asked Souta, getting curious.
"That would be the Sword of the Betrayer, which is empowered with Holy and Devil powers," Sanosuke explained, making the others gasp.
"How did you know?" Yuuto asked in surprise.
"I've heard a lot about that Sacred Gear of yours. And you would be surprised to learn that I have Blade Blacksmith," said Sanosuke, earning another wave of gasps from the Gremory group.
"Unbelievable! The very counterpart of Yuuto's Sacred Gear is right next to him!" Rias said.
"And you'll be more surprised to learn with what I got," said Sanosuke as he now presents a larger bow with a Black Arrow with a guard on it. "This is my Balance Breaker, Broken Fantasy, the Creation of Holy Arrows. I can fire ANY type of arrows of ANY element I can think of which can hold the power capacity similar to FIVE Excalibur Swords."
Everyone, including Kokabiel, the Stray Devils, Takae, Saki, and Valper gasped in disbelief!
"Holy and Devil Powers fused into one sword is one thing, but for ONE arrow to hold the power of FIVE Excalibur Swords?! That's impossible!" said Valper, not believing what he heard.
"Even I find that surprising," said Kokabiel in surprise.
Yuuto and Sanosuke start approaching to Freed and Valper while Xenovia appeared in the middle.
"Are we still on the same side?" Xenovia asked.
"Of course," Yuuto answered.
"That is a strange sword; even if it is a Holy Sword, it isn't Holy anymore," Xenovia said, referencing to the said Freed has.
"Then let's destroy it together," Sanosuke answered.
Xenovia struck her Excalibur Destruction into the ground as her hands folded over her chest.
"Peter, Basilius, Dionysius, and Blessed Virgin Mary, please hear my prayers," Xenovia said.
A gold colored symbol appeared next to her and a broadsword with a blue blade and gold edge came out wrapped in chains.
"The saint living of this blade, I set you free!" Xenovia exclaimed, right before the chains vanished from the weapon, in which Rin and Himari knew what it was.
"Holy Sword Durandal!" Xenovia said, picking up the weapon.
"That sword is known to be on par with the original Excalibur and can cut anything in the world," Rin said, shocking Rias.
"Impossible! My research also didn't know or reveal on how to use Durandal!" Valper gasped in fear.
"Unlike Irina and Yuuto, I'm a natural born wielder," Xenovia told him.
"A true Holy Sword user?!" both Valper and Freed asked.
"This thing cuts anything it touches, but it doesn't always obey me. Its power has to be kept contained by the holy chains because its infinitely dangerous," Xenovia said. "Now we can have the decisive battle between Excalibur and Durandal. Right now, I'm shaking with enjoyment. Don't die in a single strike, okay? At least use Excalibur to its fullest!"
"Takae! Those two men and that girl have just become a major threat!" Saki said. "Protect Freed and Valper!"
"Right!" Takae replied and appeared in front of Yuuto, Sanosuke, and Xenovia. "Even with those powerful swords like that, your efforts WILL be futile. You are battling with one of the Top 10 Strongest people in the world."
"Then bring it on!" said Xenovia as she and Takae started battling, with Xenovia trying to attack Takae, but she dodges it with ease.
"That's right! You won't ruin our plans!" Freed shouted as he got ready with his sword.
"You won't get away this time, Freed!" Yuuto declared and attacked Freed.
They clashed swords together only 4 times before Freed's blade broke and fell on his back when Sanosuke kicked him.
"My Excalibur was destroyed?!" asked Freed.
"Our powers overcame Excalibur," Yuuto said, feeling the burden of revenge leaving him.
"Not just yet!" Ageha said, interrupting them. "Sasa!"
"Yes!" the Ippon Datara female replied as she took Freed's broken Excalibur sword and in a few seconds, the sword was back to normal, earning gasps from the others.
"WHAT?!" asked Yuuto in surprise.
"What you morons don't know," Ageha explained. "…is that Sasa is an excellent Swordsmith! She can repair and restore broken swords, including Holy Swords to their original condition and strength!"
The Gremory group gasped again.
Ageha laughed before saying, "Yeah, it's called strategy! Ever thought of thinking I might've done that?! Well, you guys won't get away with this easily now, would we?"
"Hahaha! I'm beginning to like you more and more Ageha!" Freed said. "Sasa! I'll give you plenty of ice cream if you can help me destroy these lunatics!"
"Yay!" Sasa cheered and began attacking the Gremory group by summoning more Giant Pillars from the sky.
"Everyone! Take action!" Himari said.
The Gremory group did just that as the fight intensifies. Xenovia tried to attack Tachibana over and over again, but Takae keeps on evading her attacks and managed to give a few hard punches in the stomach and a good swift kick to the face, forcing Xenovia to hit the ground hard!
"How is she managing to keep up with Xenovia?" asked Kuesu, before turning to Saki, which she makes an astonishing discovery. Saki has one of her eyes changed into a green robotic eye, which gives her details about the enemy, and telling Takae on what to do and when to attack.
"So that's it," said Kuesu. "I have to stop her!"
Kuesu gets her spellbook, and makes a spell in silence.
Meanwhile Saki was monitoring Xenovia's and Takae's every move, when suddenly…
BREAK!
Her screen went black.
"What's happening?!" she asked.
"I figure I would put a little 'virus' on your system," chuckled Kuesu.
"Nice move, you know…" smiled Shizuku before she and Chihaya both froze Sasa, but Ageha managed to grab her before Sasa was destroyed by Rin's move.
Takae then realized what happened, and Xenovia found a small opening!
"This has to work!" Xenovia said, striking down Durandal while Takae covered her arms to protect herself, resulting in a big explosion.
Meanwhile, Yuuto and Freed battled again, and managed to break Freed's sword again.
"Sasa! Help me fi-" was all Freed could say before one of his legs got hit by Sanosuke's arrow, and the impact…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
…was unbelievable. Freed could feel the pain from the arrow the moment it made contact with it as a LOT of blood began to spill out. He then could feel his killer intent and his energy fading very quickly from the impact.
"How is this possible?!" Valper asked and jumped back in fear when Yuuto and Sanosuke turned to him.
"Valper Galilei. Prepare to die," both Yuuto and Sanosuke said.
"I see now. I could now see how a Holy Power and Devil Power could fuse. The Devil King and God are-" were the last words Valper could say before he realized that he has been hit by a lance of light, killing him instantly, before vanishing into thin air.
"It's a real shame I had to do that. He was a truly gifted researcher, right next to the father of Sanosuke," Kokabiel said.
"Why did you do that?!" Rias asked.
"Hahaha! Kahahahahahaha! I really don't care if this guy is around or not, even when he was the only one who knew how to create those gene crystals," laughed Kokabiel.
"For you to kill those on your own side, you fell far, even for a Fallen Angel like us," said Raynare.
"Hmph. Like that matters. You there," Kokabiel pointed to Kazuki. "That 10 Commandments Sword. I hope that you would spend the last few minutes of it using it wisely before I snatch that from you, which provides an alternate way of destroying this city."
"Wait! I have an idea, sir," Souta said.
"Oh? What is it?" Kokabiel asked.
"Watch this. Yo, kid. That other Sacred Gear you have. The Boosted Gear. I would like to see you try to transfer your powers to someone and try to attack either Kokabiel or Savalia."
"Are you giving us a free shot? You're kidding, right?!" asked Kuriko.
"You're the ones who must be joking if you think you can defeat us," said Savalia.
Rias gripped onto Kazuki's hand.
"Kazuki, start boosting," President said.
"Right!" Kazuki answered.
[BOOST!]
Kazuki and the girls behind him all started walking towards Kokabiel and the Stray Devils as Kazuki's Boosted Gear continued to boost.
At the same time, Shizuku disappeared in a pool of water from behind the group and proceeded to slide towards the other of the Fallen Angel and the Stray Devils. They all didn't see Shizuku as they were focusing on Kazuki and the Gremory group.
Kazuki boosted seven more times and gave the boosted power to his master.
[TRANSFER!]
Rias gasped from the power she received and her boosted power flared so much that Kokabiel gasped when he and the Stray Devils felt it.
"That power level is great! It's the power of the highest order, Rias Gremory!" Kokabiel grinned.
"However, can you really take down all of us in one shot?" asked Savalia.
"We shall see," answered Rias as she began charging the attack, and at that moment, Kokabiel and one of the Stray Devils felt something wrap in their ankles.
"What?" The Fallen Angel and the formal female bishop, Amanda, all looked to see Shizuku grabbing their arms and legs with her long hair and was beginning to freeze them with her VERY long tongue.
The Fallen Angel tried to throw his Light Spear, but Raynare and Kalawarner beat him to it, and at the same time, Rias released her Power of Destruction and managed to hit both Kokabiel and Amanda in the chest!
BLAM!
"Amanda!" Souta yelled, grabbing her. She was in pain, but not dead yet; neither is Kokabiel.
"That was an impressive attack, but it's still not enough to defeat me!" he shouted, even though he has a huge hole in his chest.
"Akeno! Kuriko!" Rias shouted; her Queen and Kuriko both launching Thunder and Lightning towards Kokabiel.
Kokabiel blocked the attack by wrapping around his ten wings around his body while avoiding two more attacks from Kuriko's talisman. Savalia managed to hold Kokabiel down to the ground safely before his hand was holding his exposed chest.
"You dare try to stop me? Wielder of Barakiel's power?" Kokabiel says angering Akeno.
"Do not…associate me with that name!" Akeno yells angrily releasing more.
"For you to become a devil! Hahahaha! You have plenty of pleasant servants, Rias Gremory!" said Kokabiel.
"Yeah, and to think that she has the one who wields the Holiest Sword of all: The 10 Commandments Sword, one of the 2 left-overs of the Holy Sword Project, the daughter of Barakiel, and even taking 2 Fallen Angels with her! I knew that both you and your disgusting brother all have weird tastes!" Savalia provoked, insulting Rias.
"I won't forgive you two for insulting my brother…our Great Satan! More than that, such words towards my servants, those Fallen Angels, and Kazuki's friends must be punished by death!" said an angry Rias before Kokabiel laughed and said…
"Then try to destroy me if you can, sister of Great Satan Sirzechs Lucifer, the Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess! The one whom you are up against is not only someone who has been an arch-enemy of the devils since a long time ago, but also a group of Stray Devils who have proven to be powerful than the weakest of the Four Great Satans!"
Kokabiel then released his powers and managed to blast Akeno, Kuriko, as well as Shizuku and Kuesu down to the ground!
"Akeno! Kuriko! Shizuku! Kuesu!" Chihaya yelled.
"Kazuki! Boost up again, and get ready to use the sword when I say!" Rias ordered.
"I won't give you the chance," said Takae, coming out of nowhere, and began shooting, forcing Rias and Kazuki to split up.
"Now it's my turn to have some fun!" Kojiro said as he proceeded to attack both Xenovia and Yuuto, in which they barely avoided getting sliced in the nick of time.
Meanwhile, Koneko and Himari tried to make a surprise attack to Kokabiel when suddenly Ageha came out of nowhere and battled each other out with a kunai on one hand, and a single-edged sword on the other.
Kokabiel could only watch in amusement as he sees the Gremory group fighting the Stray Devils, Sasa and Ageha out. He couldn't but help but laugh, however, Savalia beat him to it.
"Fuahahahaha! You guys can really fight hard even when the Master you all know and love is dead," said Savalia.
"What are you talking about?!" Xenovia asked as she tried to attack Kojiro again, but misses.
"Hahahahaha!" laughed Souta. "We almost forgot to tell you one other important detail that Kokabiel has told us. Not only are the original Four Great Satans are dead, but God is dead as well!"
Everyone froze at what Souta said. Asia and Xenovia could hardly believe their ears.
Kokabiel started explaining.
"It's normal for you guys to not know about it. Who can say that God has died? Humans are an incomplete bunch. Without God, they cannot control their hearts and obey the laws, you know? Even us, the fallen-angels, and devils couldn't tell this to those below us. You know where the information about God will be leaked from. Even among the three factions, only the people at the top and certain people and Ayakashi know about it. Though it seems Valper noticed it earlier."
"No way…" Sanosuke said. Savalia continued.
"After the War, what was left were the angels who lost their God, the devils that lost their Great Satan and the majority of High-Class devils and the Fallen angels who lost most of the fallen-angels apart from the leaders. So it wasn't a mere exhausted state. All the factions fell so low, that they had to rely on humans and even Ayakashi to continue their generations. Especially the angels and Fallen Angels that could only continue their generation by mating with humans and Ayakashi. Fallen Angels can increase if the Angels fall. But pure Angels can't increase their numbers after losing God. Even pure Devils are rare, right?"
"LIES! THIS IS ALL LIES!" Xenovia shouted in fear, while she fell to her knees hyperventilating.
"The truth is that another big war wouldn't happen unless you do it on purpose. It means that all three sides went through hell in the past war. Everyone decided that it was meaningless to continue having a war if the start of it all, God and the Great Satan, were dead. Even that bastard Azazel declared that 'there is no second war' after losing the majority of his men in the war! It's hard to bear! It truly is hard to bear! To lower your gun once you already shot it?! Don't f*ck around. Don't f*ck around! If we continued on from there, we could have won! Even so he...! Is there truly any value in Fallen Angels who can only live by inviting humans who possess Sacred Gears?!" Kokabiel asked angrily.
Kazuki then turned to see Asia had her mouth covered and her eyes wide in shock as Raynare tried to hold her to calm her down.
"...God doesn't exist? God...is dead? Then the love we were given by him is..."
"This is bad. Asia!" Raynare tried to get Asia's attention, but Souta continued as he laughed.
"That's right. It's normal that there is no love from God and no divine protection from him. God is gone already. Even that damned Angel I hate most of all, Michael is certainly doing well. Kokabiel told us that he's taking the place of God and is taking care of the Angels, humans, and Ayakashi. Well, if the 'system' used by God is operating, then the prayers to God, the blessings of God, and exorcism would function."
Kokabiel continued, "But if you compare it to the time God was present, the number of believers decreased. That Holy Demonic sword brat over there was able to create the Holy-demonic sword because the balance between God and the Great Satan broke. In reality, Holy and Demonic powers cannot merge. If the ones who rule the power of Holy and demonic powers, God and the Great Satan, disappear then lots of phenomenon will occur."
Asia then dropped to the floor. Kazuki saw the two Fallen Angels being in shock.
"Even we didn't know about this," said Kalawarner.
"Asia...! Please pull yourself together, Asia!" Kazuki said, trying to snap her out of it, but she's now mentally fragile.
"From here on out, I will start a war! And these Stray Devils will take your heads as a gift! Even if it's only me, I will continue from where we left off! I'm going to show Sirzechs and Michael the we, the Fallen Angels, are the ultimate beings!" said Kokabiel with his fist raised up in the air.
Kazuki fired a few magic shots at Kokabiel and the Stray Devils.
"What the...?!"
"Don't f*ck with me! I won't let you destroy this town. My comrades, President Rias and Asia, just for your selfish motives! I'll protect them all!" Kazuki yelled as his Explosion sword glowed red.
"Kazuki...", said Rias.
"Oh...Do you think you can stop me, Wizard Sekiryuutei?" asked Kokabiel.
As he got close to Kokabiel, he got stabbed by his Kokabiel's Light Spear. Everyone was shocked at what happened. But then, the Kazuki in front of him disintegrated into particles, as he appeared from behind Kokabiel with a surprised look on his face.
"Take this!" Kazuki yelled as he released a powerful magic ball, hitting Kokabiel, forcing the explosion to go through the Stray Devils as well, and they felt the pain as well!
"Amazing..." said Yuuto as he and everyone else saw Kazuki hitting Kokabiel and the Stray Devils.
"Here's another!" Kazuki said as he did release another attack to them. Then, the Sword glowed Dark Red. Himari knew what was coming next.
"Everyone, get back! It's the Super Explosion attack!" said Himari as everyone got back. As Kokabiel and the others got back up, Takae and Saki warned them, "Watch out!"
However, it was too late as Kazuki released his Super Explosion attack on Kokabiel. Kokabiel tried to catch it, but was burned from the intense energy. Kazuki swung him and Savalia into a tree, sending them flying. They got back up with Kokabiel taking most of the damage as he was badly burned from the Explosion Sword and had lots of cuts on him.
"...It's the first time I saw a Red Dragon Emperor with this much power... What are you? Who are you?" asked Kokabiel as he narrowed his eyes.
"I'm the Pawn of Rias Gremory's group! Kazuki Shikimori! Remember that, Kokabiel! You too, Savalia! I'm also aiming to be the Strongest Magician in the Universe!" Kazuki said. Everyone was hurt, but they looked ready to fight again, thanks to Kazuki's motivations.
"Oh really?" asked Ageha. "Then, like all Magicians…"
Ageha disappeared and appeared right in front of Kazuki.
"…it's time for you to disappear!" she yelled, managed to use her sword to STAB KAZUKI IN THE HEART!
Everyone gasped in horror as Kazuki was critically injured.
"KAZUKI!" yelled everyone. Everyone's screams forces Asia to wake up, and what she saw was the most painful sight of all: Kazuki covered in blood and falling to the ground.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Asia yelled at the top of her lungs.
Kokabiel and the Stray Devils all laughed and laughed while Takae and Sasa smiled evilly as they see Kazuki fall down in pain.
"HOW DARE YOU!" yelled the girls of the Gremory group.
"This is what happens when you don't think before you act," said Ageha. "You were all protected by the one you all should be protecting. And now, that Sword and his blood are all ours."
Everyone was FURIOUS when Ageha managed to pull a fast one. However, no one in this area could be angrier than…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Himari Noihara.
Himari's heart was beating VERY fast. Her cats ears popped up immediately, and then her eyes became COMPLETELY RED! Her killer intent was so great, a very DARK AURA was formed around her and everyone was taken by surprise.
"This is it…" said Shizuku, gaining the looks of everyone. "This is the true nature of Noihara. When she loses her sanity during a fight, in this case, seeing Kazuki in pain, she goes on a berserker rampage. Also, this insano-kitty loses all rational thought, becoming a mindless killing machine bent on hunting and killing ANYTHING that moves, you know."
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" laughed Kokabiel loudly. "Now THIS is what I'm talking about! Amanda, heal me!"
"Yes!" said Amanda, healing Kokabiel and the others, now back to their normal states.
"I'll Kill You…I'll Kill You…I'll Kill You!" Himari shouted and grabbed Kazuki's 10 Commandments Sword and grabbed her own Yasutsuna sword, and what everyone is about to see is UNBELIEVABLE!
The two swords began to form as a white light covered everyone's eyes, and it brought attention to Sona's Peerage and the Maids.
** With Sona's Peerage and the Maids **
Earlier, they and Kazuki's sisters could all feel the pain inside their hearts when they heard that Kazuki is badly hurt from Asia's loud screams.
'Did we fail?' asked Sona.
"Kazuki…" cried Tsuyuha, Saori and Hisae.
"Looks like you guys are too late," said Shakadou. "Looks like our plan is a success."
From there, the Maids' killer intent all grew tenfold.
"NOOOOOOO!" yelled Liera. "Like I would believe in such sh*t like that! Everyone! Fight like you have never fought before! Do all of this for our master!"
[FOR KAZUKI SHIKIMORI!] yelled the Maids, and they were now more determined than ever to defeat Shakadou and his gang.
Hilda and Ami were swinging each other with their spears at breakneck speeds, but Hilda managed to do a swift-kick to Ami's jaw and hit her in the stomach with her left leg.
Fubuki and Tatsuko swung each other with their heavy weapons , but Fubuki moved back, forcing Tatsuko to miss her attack, and Fubuki slams Tatsuko in the head with the baseball bat.
Airi and Angel were fighting so fast, no one could keep than these two, especially when Angel swallowed a lot of pills, giving her more energy and a boost of adrenaline. However, that was proven to be futile as Airi swung her scythe and broke Angel's staff.
Ryuuhei and his men were making a hasty retreat as Liz, Azumi, Lee, Stacy, Iroha, Tsukiumi, Shizuka, Tsurara, The Masked Woman, Thunder and Mahoro completely broke themselves loose and laid out a barrage of attacks in which Ryuuhei and his troops couldn't fire a single shot, and made a big comeback by killing more and more men by the second.
Finally, Musubi and Shakadou were having the time of their lives! They each made a series of bone-crunching hand-to-hand martial arts combat moves and not one of them are backing down. Even when Musubi got hit a few times, she immediately got back up and kept on fighting.
"Heh heh… I must say, I'm impressed," said Shakadou, smoking a cigarette. "But even so, you cannot defeat me."
Sona then said, "Everyone! We must help them! We cannot give up! We will win this battle!"
[YES!] said Sona's Peerage.
Up above the sky, the mysterious man could see all the action watching in front his eyes, while trying to avoid the Daidarabotchi's attacks. "This is getting more and more interesting by-" was all he could say before he saw another group heading towards Kokabiel and the gang.
"Now THIS should be good," he said.
** Back at the Sports Field **
Everyone saw the Demon-Mode Himari Noihara combining her sword and Kazuki's sword.
Ddraig saw this too, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
"Hahahaha! This is the best part yet! Now I can finally fight a worthy opponent like you, Himari Noihara!" yelled Kokabiel, ignoring the Gremory group completely.
"Shut the Flying F*ck Up!" yelled Demon-Mode Noihara. "I'll kill you! I'll NEVER lose to you! If there is no God around for people to depend on, then if necessary, I WILL BECOME GOD! I will win, no matter what! I will win and protect Kazuki and the rest of my family!"
[Unbelievable!] said Ddraig, gaining everyone's attention. [This has never happened before and the balance inside the 10 Commandments Sword has been broken, thanks to that cat!]
"What do you mean?" asked Rias.
[Even this girl has truly turned from the hate and revenge ever since her time with the Amakawa family, and all she wants to do is to protect her friends which caused her to go into a rampage. Now, thanks to her effort of combining her powers and the Decalogue Sword, this girl has just achieved her own Balance Breaker, but its completely different. Her hopes and dreams changed so far that it affects everything around her; she has exceeded her limits 25 times over…This is known as the 'Ultimate Balance Breaker.']
Everyone was shocked to see the sword Himari was holding now. This is an evil opposite to the 10 Commandment Sword. It's now Himari's primary and strongest weapon. It almost has the same special forms and abilities as the Ten Commandments Sword except it is powered by her Dark Aura. This is known as the Neo Decalogue Sword.
Right now, she's currently holding the form of the Dark Million Suns, in which it means "the force of a million suns," a sword whose blade is composed purely of Light, the holy light generally blinds opponents and dispels darkness. Though as the evil counterpart of the Ten Powers, it is probably composed of darkness and dispels light.
"Now let's do this!" said Kokabiel as he created two swords of light, and just like that, the ultimate battle of Kokabiel and Demon-Mode Himari Noihara is on!
"Everyone! We will defeat the Stray Devils right here, right now!" said Rias, with everyone ready to fight, and with more killer intent than they ever thought possible. They were determined to take them all down for the sake of Kazuki.
"And this time, all of you are dead!" Sanosuke said as he took a stance and drew his Kokusen sword out.
They all heard the Stray Devil queen laugh. "Like little kids like you can defeat us! To my side!" she commanded and the remaining members of the Stray Peerage appeared by her side. "We will end this now!"
"Just as we desired!" said a new voice.
The members of the Gremory Peerage and Kazuki's friends all saw who said that, and were surprised to see Serena Asmoday, her Peerage, Sylvia and Valshion all arriving to the scene. Raynare and Kalawarner were surprised to see the six-winged Fallen Angel.
"Valshion?" both Raynare and Kalawarner asked.
"Raynare! Kalawarner! I'm so glad that you two are safe!" said Valshion.
"Well, my long-lost best friend of 20 years. We finally reunite again, Rias Gremory," said Serena.
"Serena…Asmoday?" asked Rias, wide-eyed after looking at the magenta-haired girl.
"Ah! More Devils showed up, and now, it's time for the main course!" said Savalia as she snapped her fingers. "Kill them."
And now, the battle between the Stray Devils, the evil Ayakashi, Takae, and the two Peerages finally begins!
Kuesu and Chihaya took care of the 5 Pawns Joe, Ivan, Kisara, Diana, and Xander.
Sanosuke jumped in and clashed swords with Savalia who brought out her scimitar. "You just can't wait for our little tango, couldn't you?"
Sanosuke smirked. "The faster this ends, the faster I can rest," he said jokingly. He jumped back, allowing Xenovia to come in attack with her Durandal. Savalia created a barrier and blocked the attack. She returned a barrage of demonic bullets at Xenovia.
Sylvia and Rin both faced the 6th remaining pawn of the Stray Peerage. Meanwhile Valshion both held Saya and Asia in her arms.
"Valshion, we'll leave the two girls with you for now. Right now, I want to vent some anger," Sylvia said as she and Rin looked to the scythe wielder.
"Same here," said Rin, concentrating on her sword with magic.
"Isis!" The rapier appeared in Sylvia's arms. She unsheathed the sword before she took a stance. 'No one kidnaps my friend and survives through this.' She and Rin charged towards the final pawn.
Kojiro, Keisuke and Yuuto stood across each other, glaring daggers at each other as if waiting for the other to start fighting. They all have their weapons ready at their side.
Keisuke flicked his hair to the side. "Ready to settle things?" Keisuke took a battle stance followed by Yuuto.
Kojiro grinned before he took a stance and shouted, "I hope you both said your prayers!" And with that the three dashed forward, clashing blades, with Keisuke and Yuuto both having the upper-hand.
Koneko and Yuna were fighting against Takae and Saki, respectively, and while Takae and Koneko kept up with their punches, Saki had to avoid most of Yuna's attacks.
Xarin opened a magic circle underneath him and produced his Zanbatou from the sub-space. He picked up his weapon and pointed it at Kilboar which unsheathed its own weapon.
"Ready for round two, bull? I'm gonna make beef ribs out of you!" Xarin exclaimed.
The Minataur roared before it charged towards Xarin.
"I'll help out too, you know…" said Shizuku, lowering her hair.
Kaoru jumped back from the sudden attack from Sasa. Pillars of earth came down towards her before she summoned barrier strong enough to block it. She felt a presence to her right and used her khakkara to block the punch coming at her. Both were locked in a battle of force in the air.
Zhang Yue smirked. "I guess this is where we dance again, Ms. Queen."
Kaoru hissed. The element of surprise took her by surprise. She will have to keep her wits up for this battle.
"Ara ara. Need some help?" asked Akeno.
"The more, the merrier," said Kaoru as she and Akeno started battling out against Zhang Yue.
Christie lunged for the female bishop, claws outstretch looking as though they were about to rip someone apart. The female bishop managed to dodge.
Christie smirked. "Oh, what a fine game we're having! Now," she went in for a slash. "if you don't mind…" she went for another. "I'll kill you!" she went with another. She missed again as the Bishop jumped back. She smirked as she tugged a bit of her hair behind her ear. "Or you could just surrender, a lot more easier." She placed a hand on her hip.
"Who would want to!?" The Bishop roared before she created a lightning ball and fired at the red head.
Christie spread her wings and took off, dodging the lightning blast before Kuriko came out of nowhere and fired shards of ice at the bishop.
"Nice body," said Kuriko.
"Nice looks," said Christie.
"Looks like I'm not the only Succubus around here," said Ageha. "Now this should be a good battle. Which succubus will succumb to the pain first?"
"Let's find out!" said Christie as they began to attack.
Raynare and Kalawarner escorted Valshion off with Saya and Asia, but Souta was catching on to them.
"Might as well finish them all off," Souta said as he walked towards them. "You!" He addressed Valshion, Raynare and Kalawarner rudely. "If you want to live, you best stay away!" He tensed when he suddenly saw a spear of light thrown directly at him. He ducked under the spear. "Looks like I get to dance with 3 little beauties like you," Souta commented before he noticed Valshion standing up with one hand to the hip, while Raynare has Asia, and Kalawarner has Saya.
"Sorry, I missed," Valshion said casually as she summoned sword of light. "Let me warn you, compliments like that will earn you a sword through the heart. Especially since you took my niece's friend hostage!" Valshion warned as she aimed a thrust to the chest but with his fan Souta pushed it aside.
Savalia jumped out of the way after avoiding another one of Xenovia's Durandal attack. With one hand, she created a barrier between her and the sword, although the sword can cut through it. Sanosuke then came from the side and both locked swords.
"You have a Sacred Gear, don't you?" asked Sanosuke.
"Oh," Savalia smirked. "You've researched quite a lot about us, then?"
"My client was your master's wife via my boss. Of course she would know about you," Sanosuke admitted. He kneed her in the stomach.
She tucked her hair behind her left ear, "You know, two on one is not fair. How about we even things out?" she asked playfully as four yellow magic circles appeared in front of her. The magic circles moved up to reveal seven green skinned creatures with helmets, wearing light brown skintight shorts, a shoulder guard on their left shoulder and carried sabers in their hands. These were lizardmen.
"Be good boys and entertain our guests over there," she ordered the lizardmen as she pointed at Sanosuke and Xenovia. Sanosuke placed up his guard in reaction as the Lizardmen charged at him.
Serena then created a huge pink magic circle from which shadow-like wolves appeared from the ground, impressing Rias. She directed the wolves at Savalia but she failed to notice the fact that Savalia was smirking.
"I humbly accept that technique," Savalia said before a pink magic circle appeared and shadowy wolves appeared and clashed with Serena's own wolves.
Serena gasped at this. "What?" Just how could she use her family's Power of Darkness? Serena created falcons of darkness and they rushed towards Savalia, but Savalia countered with her flocks of darkness falcons easily.
Savalia grinned. "What's wrong? I was expecting more from a member of the Asmoday family!" she taunted.
Serena cursed. Rias then said, "Then how about this?!" She released her Power of Destruction, and of course, Savalia countered that with her own Power of Destruction as well.
"Even the most valuable member of the Gremory family cannot surpass me!" Savalia said.
Sanosuke dodged the swipe from the right; which gave Xenovia a chance to kill 2 Lizardmen in one blow before slicing another one in half. The four remaining Lizardmen proceeded towards Sanosuke.
He cursed. For familiars, they are well trained and this fight is just dragging out, but with Xenovia, he could thank her a thousand times for making it very quick. "Now, let's finish this," he stated as his gaze intensifies. Without another word, swords started to burst out from the floor. These swords were different in shaped, size, color and ability, and they surrounded the five in a field of swords.
The Lizardmen was confused by the sudden appearance of the swords.
"We'll finish this in one go. Stand back, Xenovia," Sanosuke said as he sheathed the Kokusen and placed it on the ground before he dashed forward, grabbing an icy cyan longsword in his right hand and fiery curved red short sword in his left hand. He blocked the first Lizardman's strike with his short sword before stabbing the longsword into the chest. He left the sword and spun around slicing off the Lizardman's head with the short sword. Using the same short sword, he threw it like a boomerang that sliced off the right leg of another Lizardman at the knee. Sanosuke took out a greatsword as tall as him with a long handle and swung it around to ward off the other two Lizardman before he jump high, cleaving the Lizardman through the shoulder. He turned around and rolled over a horizontal slash from the remaining Lizardmen. He took out another pair of swords, identical in shape and size, from the sword with a golden hilt and a red jewel on the hilt. He charged again, parrying off a slash before he roundhouse kicked the familiar away. He roared as he slashed the other with his other sword. He stabbed the both swords into the lizard's abdomens. He took out his final sword from his Field of Swords, a tachi that radiated with crimson lightning. He blocked the slash from the final Lizardman as he sidestepped, he then threw two slashes that created a cross mark across its back. With a final slash, he cleaved into the Lizardman's body.
Sanosuke released a heavy sigh before he looked at the battlefield around him. The dead bodies of the 7 Lizardmen, the swords that stood out like graves. He shouldn't have wasted time on them, but at the same time, he thanked Xenovia for helping him out. Sanosuke picked up his katana before the Holy Swords around him dissolved into light that gathered in front of him. The light particles began forming to create a single handed, single edged straight sword with an axe shaped guard, his strongest sword, Holy Avenger.
Meanwhile, Kojiro threw a slash that had missed Keisuke's neck by a couple of inches. Keisuke went onto the offensive and the two exchanged blows before they were locked in a battle of supremacy.
Kojiro couldn't help but grinned, "This is the most fun I've had, boy!" he said. He was already torn up, bleeding from his head, the wound from earlier didn't seem to heal properly, thanks to the quick reactions of Yuuto, so his reaction time would be slower. His advantage was that he also had an emergency first aid, so he too would be impeded in this battle.
Keisuke was growing tired of this fight, so he broke it off. Kojiro charged again with his sword raised and this time Keisuke knew what to do.
Keisuke gripped his left spear underhanded and blocked the downward slash with it. The edge of the sword just inches away from the back of his head. He twisted his left wrist, locking the sword into place as he brought down to his waist level. In a blink of an eye, he sliced off the blade with his other spear. He kicked the knight away and threw the blade away.
"Damn you!" Kojiro stood up before he surrounded Keisuke and Yuuto with four purple magic circles that were building up massive fireballs.
Keisuke held his left spear up high, infusing his demonic energy to the spear before he stabbed the spear onto the floor. This created a magic circle under him and it formed a barrier around him. He used the left spear's ability to cancel out magic to its fullest, as it canceled out the massive fireballs aimed towards him. All the while, Yuuto took this as a diversion, and made a surprise attack on Kojiro in the back. He cursed as he felt the pain from the previous battle creeping back.
"Do it, Keisuke!" yelled Yuuto.
"Right," Keisuke answered.
He threw the spear. The spear itself pierced through the left shoulder of the Knight like a bullet. Keisuke saw the magic circles disappearing before he started running up towards the samurai with his remaining spear charging up with black light.
"Take this!" Keisuke roared, with no hesitation. He rammed the blade straight into the sternum of Kojiro, killing him instantly. Keisuke pulled out the blade from the stray devil's body and went to pick up his other spear. He closed his eyes and tried searching for the auras of his master and the swordsman, while Yuuto already headed towards somewhere else.
Meanwhile, Kaoru held her Khakkara high before spinning around to create a fiery tornado around her. With the help of Akeno's lightning, she threw the tornado at Zhang Yue who was literally blown away from the blast.
Zhang Yue grunted, "So this is the Firestorm Queen, and Gremory's Lightning Queen." 'They are strong as the rumors say.'
Kaoru continued spinning her khakkara, gathering more flames one it. "By the flames of hell itself…."
"And by the powers of Lightning…" said Akeno.
"Die, Rook of Aim!" both Akeno and Kaoru roared. The flames took shape of a dragon that roared loudly with many lightning bolts charging all around the beast before it charged at Zhang Yue, devouring him in a fiery blaze while being shocked with over 5,000,000 volts of electricity.
When the fire died out, Kaoru dropped to her knees, and Akeno helped her up. Kaoru obviously used too much against the Rook. She managed to get back up a few minutes later.
At another area, Valshion was up high in the air as she threw another spear of light, sending it straight to Souta who used his barrier to efficiently block the attack. When the light faded away, Valshion landed and looked up to Souta.
"I admit, for a Bishop, you have a good magical competency," Valshion stated.
"And yourself, a strong Fallen Angel such as yourself," Souta said, smirking.
"But I guess it's time for me to get serious," Valshion said before she spread her black wings, revealing the three pairs of wings. She summoned about 50 light spears above her.
Souta gasped at seeing this. 'To summon this many?! A very annoying ability to be fighting against.'
"Let's see if your magic can hold out against this many Light Spears…" Valshion taunted before she rained the light spears on to Souta.
Souta cursed and began opening his barriers as the light spears rained on him. However, he never got the chance when he was attacked from behind from Raynare and Kalawarner, throwing their spears at him, finding their mark on his legs, and then Valshion's spears stabbed deep into Souta's left shoulder, stomach, right forearm, and left thigh. Souta fell onto the floor. His breathing became shallow. Valshion released a huge sigh before she, Raynare and Kalawarner began walking away.
"Wait…" he struggled to say. "Are you going to leave me here?"
"I'm sorry, I wouldn't want to save a heartless coward like you. Plus, you'll be put for death even if I let the kids capture you," Valshion stated.
"Then kill me quickly," Souta requested.
Valshion shook her head, "For someone like you, this is more suitable. If you'll excuse me." And with that, Valshion left.
"I'll finish for you, if you don't mind," said Kuesu as she and Chihaya came by after easily killing the 5 pawns.
Souta couldn't help but laugh in his last moments before he was burned to death by Kuesu's spell.
Then at another area, Xarin shouted, "Twice!" He called before the crystal glowed. He felt his power double in output. It was the power of his Sacred Gear, Twice Critical, the Arm of the Dragon, a Dragon type Sacred Gear the doubles the power of the user for a given time. The Zanbatou felt lighter than ever. "Let's end this! Shizuku!"
Shizuku simply nodded while Kilboar roared. He didn't want it to end it like this though, so with the last of his strength, he charged. But Killboar didn't realize the sudden speed that Xarin gained from his double power. Xarin swung his sword horizontally, the brute power he had doubled and sent the Minotaur flying. He dashed forward again, this time brought the blade up high and made a downward slash that broke the Minotaur's weapon in two when the bull brought it up to defend himself. Shizuku finished the job by striking the Minotaur's body with a giant icicle. The Minotaur has been killed.
FLASH!
BANG!
CRASH!
Christie cried as she created another magic circle in front of her and fired two high pressured water shots at the Bishop and Ageha who both blocked it with fire magic and Sasa's pillar. The Bishop fired two more blasts of demonic energy at Christie who jumped away. Kuriko placed a talisman spelled 'DISAPPEAR' and the pillar disappeared in front of Sasa and was met with a punch from Kuriko. When Christie landed, she cursed as she saw the magic circles surrounding her at the last moment.
The Bishop surrounded Christie with many magic circles that wrapped chains around Christie. The Bishop then created a huge magic circle under Christie before the young succubus was enveloped in flames.
The Bishop smirked. "Now that's one down." But before she could walk away, she heard a clicking sound. She turned around to see Christie appearing behind the flames with her arms folded.
Christie smirked. "Where were you aiming at?" she taunted. "Keep in mind that I'm a succubus that has an ability to cast illusions onto my target, making them see what they want to see."
"You have to teach me that!" said Kuriko.
"Later on," said Christie as she threw sharp metallic nails that had pierced the Stray Devil in many places. Christie made another magic circle and fired out blast of demonic energy that devoured the Bishop.
When the bishop had disappeared from existence, Christie fell to the floor. She was tired and if she hadn't used her illusion magic earlier, she probably would've died.
"This isn't over!" said Ageha. "We can still defeat you, even if I don't have Sasa to my side!"
With Sylvia and Rin, they blocked the swing from Dean, the final pawn, the edge of the scythe mere inches away from Sylvia's neck. She pushed forward, driving him back. She pushed the scythe off before elbowing the stray pawn in the stomach. Dean hissed before he realized that it was too late as Rin was about to drive her sword through his chest. The pawn cried in pain before he tried pushing Rin off but Sylvia stopped his attempts as Rin made the strike. She pulled it out with the pawn dropping to the ground dead. Rin and Sylvia high-fived each other before looking around for where everyone else would be.
Now heading back to Savalia, Serena, Rias and Sanosuke...
"I am the strongest Queen! Even stronger than that good-for-nothing Grayfia! There is nothing I can't do!" said Savalia as she threw a giant bird-like shadow at Serena who made a similar bird the two birds cancelled each other but from under the clash, another bird came straight for Rias. Rias realized it was too late and braced for impact but to her surprise, the bird was sliced away by Sanosuke who held both Kokusen and the Holy Avenger in his hands.
"Sanosuke!" both Rias and Serena gasped. Serena was about to go up to him but he held out his right hand, telling her to stop.
"Stand back!" Sanosuke ordered before he charged towards Savalia. Sanosuke raised the Kokusen for a straight downward slash. Savalia was quick and blocked his attack with her scimitar. He came with the Holy Wing but she jumped away. Sanosuke leaped towards and performed a double downwards slash. Savalia blocked the attack and both were locked in a battle for supremacy.
Sanosuke noticed the white glow in her right eye. "I knew it, that's the Sacred Gear, 'Imitation Real'", Sanosuke deduced. This was the most annoying Sacred Gear anyone could actually have next to a Sacred Gear that can nullify the Sacred Gears' Powers.
"You're right! This Sacred Gear allows me to copy anything I see," Savalia boasted.
Sanosuke once fought a man who wielded the 'Imitation Real' before. True to Savalia's words, the Sacred Gear allowed her to copy any magic she sees with her right eye. There were limits though, like the 'Invisible Force', this Sacred Gear requires magical energy in order for it to work, and if the thing she was copying required more magical energy than she could provide, then it won't work. But due to her status as a Queen, her magical energy must be considerably high.
He felt a sudden presence and jumped back. Keisuke leaped in for a thrust but she deflected the spear away. He turned around and aimed another thrust with his other spear at her. She grabbed the spear with her free hand and raised her sword high for a downward slash. Sanosuke blocked the slash and kicked her away with Serena firing magic bullets with her fingers, while Rias fired more balls of Power of Destruction. When Savalia landed, she made a barrier that blocked the bullets and the Power of Destruction before she dispelled the shield and fired her own magic bullets and her Power of Destruction. Keisuke blocked the bullets and the balls with ease with his left spear as he stabbed it to the ground and made an anti-magic barrier to avoid the Power of Destruction.
Sanosuke took the moment to energize his swords with light energy before threw them at Savalia. He readied himself and charged.
Both himself and Savalia clashed blades twice before Sanosuke kicked Savalia's. "Destroy!" Sanosuke said before he shattered the scimitar with the Holy Avenger. He aimed for another slash with the Kokusen but Savalia was quick as she created a Lion of Darkness that roared and tried to maim Sanosuke but he blocked the claw before slashed at it.
"We need to make her switch off that Sacred Gear!" Rias said. "The problem is how?"
"Why don't I just cut off her magic flow?" Keisuke asked.
"The problem with that is the fact that with your Sacred Gear, the 'Soul Breaker Spears', it will give us only a 5 second window to seal her magic, and it will hardly be enough time for us to take her down," Serena argued.
Sanosuke jumped back, while Yuuto came.
"Maybe that five second window is all we need. I have an idea," Yuuto said, somehow managing to hear all that during the fight, before he started to explain. "Open her up for Keisuke so Sanosuke and I can make sure we can deactivate it."
Keisuke charged in first aiming one of his two short spears at Savalia but she blocked with her barrier. Keisuke came in with another strike with his other spear, hoping to crumble the barrier, but she blocks it with her dagger. He cursed. 'Did she figure out which spears are which and how they work? No matter!' Keisuke gritted his teeth before he increased his attack speed, trying to throw her off before she kicked Keisuke away.
Serena fired a demonic bullet to which Savalia dodged but when she landed, she cursed as she saw that her legs were wrapped around by darkness. She had landed into a trap. No matter, she could easily-
"Gotcha!" Keisuke roared before he stabbed his left spear into her shoulder.
Savalia winced at the pain and couldn't help but feel like her magic suddenly disappeared from her body. Savalia could then see a wall of swords that Yuuto did to her to prevent her from escaping. The next thing Savalia realized was that the swordsman was aiming his bow straight at her. Without any show of mercy, Sanosuke fired the arrow and the arrow pierced her right eyeball. Savalia screamed in pain as blood was spurting out of the wound. She dropped to her knees; her right hand was on her right eye as if trying to do something to stop the pain. However, the pain got worse as it kept spreading throughout her body as more blood began to spill out from other places.
Sanosuke took a look to his bow. High-regenerative capabilities? He had guessed so, a perk of being a devil. A human would be dead if they had an arrow to the eye.
Sylvia, Shizuku, Rin, Kuriko, Kuesu and the rest of the two Peerages arrived in time to see the damage done to Savalia.
"It's over then?" Xarin asked.
"Not yet," said Ageha, surprising them. "You forgot about our boss up there."
They all looked up to see Demon-Mode Himari and Kokabiel fighting for about 10 minutes.
Demon-Mode Himari have made a few slashes at Kokabiel, and hitting him many times as he was slammed onto the ground, but he still refused to give up.
"Don't get too cocky, you demonic sh*t! You haven't won yet!" Kokabiel picked himself up from the ground and started to release a large spear of light and fired it at her. Demon-Mode Himari quickly changed to the Dark Gravity Core sword and sliced the huge spear in half. Then, Kokabiel disappeared.
"Urgh! I'll Kill You!" Demon-Mode Himari said as she was kicked in the gut by Kokabiel. As Kokabiel flew towards her, she quickly made the Dark Blue Crimson swords as her left hand had a fire sword, and on her right had an ice sword. Demon-Mode Himari charged and made an X-shaped slash.
Kokabiel was completely enveloped in fire and ice. His charred body slammed into the ground again, where he quickly got back on his feet. He's really quite a tenacious one, still fighting even after taking that much damage.
"I'll Kill You, Kokabiel!" yelled Himari as she summoned the Dark Explosion sword, and quickly disappeared.
Then, a huge explosion in the middle of his stomach, engulfing Kokabiel who screamed in pain.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaagh!" The explosion ended and Kokabiel was covered in severe burns and blood seeped out of the various wounds on his body, and his Fallen Angel wings melted, but he was still standing, and he was looking even more cross than before.
"Still going fight? It's pointless, you can't defeat me! If you are still going, then I will kill you!" Demon-Mode Himari roared.
"...Don't...think...it's...over...yet...cat-brat...!" With labored breaths, Kokabiel let out a low mutter.
"Then, let's finish this!" said Demon-Mode Himari as she summoned the most dangerous sword of all. The sword is not only the most destructive of the swords, but it is a frightening blade of bloodlust that trades the user's emotion and will for the power of Carnage. This is known as the Dark Sacrifar sword.
Kokabiel was now scared for the first time. Once he saw THAT sword, he knew that it was all over.
"Please! I'll give you anything! I'll even stop attacking the Devils! Just let me live!" said Kokabiel, not wanting to die and backs away.
"Not happening!" roared Demon-Mode Himari. "And that goes for that huge Ayakashi, too! Prepare to get obliterated!"
Kokabiel screamed as Demon-Mode Himari made one final swing against both Kokabiel and the huge Daidarabotchi. Then Demon-Mode Himari finally landed on the ground as the group all saw Kokabiel and the Daidarabotchi both get sliced in half, and both making 3 huge, tremendous explosions that shattered the barrier the Shikimori sisters made. Not a trace of Kokabiel was left as his Fallen Angel wings were the only ones left as they all fell down to the ground while the huge Ayakashi vanished into little particles.
"RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" roared Demon-Mode Himari, releasing all of her anger and grief towards Kokabiel.
Himari falls to the ground, unable to move. Ageha, Takae, and Saki were scared stiff!
"Himari did it! Himari killed Kokabiel and that Giant Monster!" Yuna yelled.
'Damn!' Ageha thought. 'So, this is the true power of Noihara?'
"We're not done yet," said Serena as she points to a badly-damaged Savalia.
"We still have one more piece of trash left to dispose. Sanosuke, would you like to do the honors for taking down this queen?"
Sanosuke sighed. "I'll leave it to you, Serena," he said before he looked away.
"I'm joining in as well," said Rias.
"For killing your master, and for joining Kokabiel's army, Rias and I sentence you to death along with the rest of your Peerage," Serena decreed.
"Now disappear," said Rias coldly before darkness started to envelop Savalia. Savalia tried to pull herself away from the pool of darkness under her but it was like quicksand, the more you struggle, the more you will sink into it.
Her scream became muffled as Rias' Power of Destruction engulfed her, erasing her from existence.
"Crap! Such fantastic power!" said Ageha, grabbing Sasa. "Takae! Saki! Tell the others we're leaving!"
"Right!" both Takae and Saki said.
"They're getting away!" said Keisuke.
Kuesu tried to attack them, but Takae managed to grab one of Freed's smoke light bombs, and exploded on impact, forcing the group to look away. When the light disappeared, Ageha, Sasa, Takae and Saki were gone.
"Damn! They've escaped! Other than that, now it's all over," said Kaoru, making the others sigh in relief.
(Well, almost all over.) said a new voice.
Everyone looked to see a new figure up in the sky. He is wearing a silver-coated Dragon armor.
"Who the hellfire is he?" asked Xarin.
"It's the Vanishing Dragon," Akeno answered shocking everybody.
"The Vanishing Dragon?!" Keisuke said in surprise. "The-Then he is…"
The silver-armored figure could see Freed getting up.
(You pathetic exorcist!) the figure said, kicking Freed in the back, hard!
"You…what are you after?!" Freed asked angrily and picks his sword up.
(I think it's useless talking to you since your sword is broken!) said the silver-armored figure while Freed raises his sword and it starts to glow in power.
(DIVIDE!)
Freed has lost his strength fast, making it harder to hold the sword.
"WHAT?!" Freed says shockingly and drops the sword.
(I am Albion. My Sacred Gear is 'Divine Dividing.' Every 10 seconds, it halves the power of whoever I touch…and gives it to me.) says the Sacred Gear.
"Halves the power?!" Keisuke asked in shock.
(You'll be weaker than an infant soon.) said the Gear scaring Freed.
"The Red Dragon Emperor doubles the power of the host and gives it to someone, while the Emperor of the White Dragon halves its enemy's power and gives it to the host," said Rias.
"So the rumors are true," continued Serena.
(You have certainly stepped out of your league. Azazel asked me to bring you back at all costs.) said the Gear and punches Freed hard, knocking him out, but not before saying "AZAZEL!"
The silver-armored figure puts Freed around his shoulder, and then looks at Sanosuke.
(It's been a while, Sanosuke Kiriya.)
"Same here…..Vali Lucifer," said Sanosuke, earning gasps from the two Peerages.
(Yes. Now, if you guys don't mind, I'll be taking this Stray Exorcist with me. Azazel has a few questions and he demands answers. By the way, good job to both Kazuki Shikimori and Himari Noihara for defeating Kokabiel and that large monster. You two are certainly on my hotlist.)
[Are you ignoring me, white-one?] asked Ddraig as the Boosted Gear glowed, drawing everyone's attention.
(So, you were awake, red-one?) asked Albion as his armor's jewels glowed.
[We finally meet, but not in a situation like this.]
(It's all right. We're destined to face each other someday. Coincidences do happen.)
[That's how it is. We should be having fun by ourselves for a little while. It's not bad like this sometimes, right? Let's meet again, Albion.]
(That would also be fun, huh? See you then, Ddraig.)
{Hey! Don't forget about me, you idiot!} said Thyrus.
(Wait…Don't tell me…)
{That's right! The one who intercepted the fight between you and Ddraig many light years ago!}
(Thyrus, the Holy Dragon… I thought you were finally dead!) Albion said in anger.
{Yeah, right! I would NEVER die from such things like this!}
\Hey! What about me, you morons?!/
[Oh no…]
(It can't be….)
{Is that who I think it is?!}
That voice belonged to Keisuke's Sacred Gear, and his spears began to glow.
\It's me, the two-headed Silver Magic Dragon, the Ginryuukou (Silver Dragon Lord), Zirnitra!/
Everyone, and the Dragons, all gasped at this.
\We Dragon Lords are known to be more powerful than the Dragon Kings, but a little weaker than the Heavenly Dragons. However! If the host believes in himself, then a Dragon Lord CAN defeat a Heavenly Dragon!/
"No way…" said Keisuke, not believing about his own Sacred Gear as the Silver Dragon Lord.
[You do realize we have some 'personal' scores to settle, right Zirnitra?] asked Ddraig.
(Same here.) said Albion.
\Fantastic! I cannot wait to beat both of your *ss*s! Keisuke, let's get stronger so we can defeat these two! I have been playing tricks on them for so many years, and now, this is MY time to shine!/
(Don't get too cocky! My eternal rival Kazuki Shikimori and Keisuke Ryuudou, I hope you two become stronger, because when we meet again, we'll battle it out! However, it's Kazuki Shikimori that I'm more interested than Keisuke.)
And with that, the White Dragon Emperor disappears with Freed on his shoulders.
Yuuto was standing still in his place and was processing the fact that his friends' souls were now a part of him while Sanosuke's friends and fathers' souls were apart of his and the ones responsible of their deaths were dead.
"Yuuto…" said Sanosuke.
"S-Sanosuke…" said Yuuto.
It was then that they hugged each other, knowing that this nightmare is all over.
At the same time, both Rias and Serena hugged each other and cried that they haven't seen each other in a long time.
It was then that Sona, her Peerage, the MMM Maids, and Kazuki's sisters all arrived to see what happened. Sona was surprised to see Serena and her Peerage.
"Sona?" Serena asked.
"I can't believe it!" said Sona, hugging her as well. They have been friends, but not the best of friends.
"As you probably know by now, we got some unexpected help," said Rias, pointing to Serena and her Peerage, "and defeated Kokabiel and Freed, although Ageha, Takae, Saki, and Sasa managed to slip away."
"Well, unfortunately Shakadou and his gang escaped as well, but I do believe that this war is averted, is it not?" asked Sona.
"Yes."
The voice didn't come from Rias, but it came from Himari Noihara, who was back to normal, with her purple eyes and has her Yasutsuna sword in hand while the 10 Commandments Sword has returned to normal and back to Kazuki.
Koneko then proceeded to Yuuto and Sanosuke.
"Yuuto, are you alright?" asked Koneko.
"I am fine, Koneko," said Yuuto. "What about you, Sanosuke?"
"I have never felt better ever since the last day I saw my father alive," Sanosuke said, smiling for the first time. "Now, we can finally put our past behind us and move on."
"And we're going to have to start repairing these incredible damages," said Sona.
"We can help you," Rias offered.
Sona smiled and shook her head and said, "No. You and Kazuki's sisters and maids have done so much already and this is the Student Councils' work. You can take care of your servants."
Yuuto turned to Rias and said, "President, I renew my oath to the house of Gremory."
Rias hugged his face to her bosom and smiled, while Keisuke was feeling a little jealous.
"I never renounced you Yuuto. You were always a part of my household," she said.
The others smiled now that their group was back together. Well, almost everyone…
"Wait a minute!" Yuna said. "What about Kazuki?"
"I can answer that question," said Valshion with a mischievous smirk on her face. "Look over there."
When everyone did, what they saw was a rather….disturbing moment.
There was a completely naked top-to-bottom Shizuku on top of an almost-completely naked Kazuki Shikimori, spilling water all over his wounds, while hugging his body COMPLETELY NAKED!
You have NO IDEA on how TICKED most of these girls were: The Gremory group, the Sitri group, Asmoday's peerage, and of course, Kazuki's sisters, maids, and friends.
"HOW SHAMELESS!" both Rin and Sylvia yelled at the same time, before noticing on how much they had good chemistry.
"Ahh..Hmm…" groaned Shizuku as she heals Kazuki from the front AND the back. While Shizuku keeps healing, the anger level from the girls keeps climbing!
"I need to close his cuts. Lift him up…" said Shizuku.
"Fine…" said a very-ticked Rias as she and Sona both lifted Kazuki up and noticed a smile on his face. Rias knew that Kazuki was DEFINITELY going to get it.
"It's done…" said Shizuku.
"Good work…" said Rias.
"But why did you have to hug him naked?!" asked Kuesu, getting a LOT of nods from the other girls.
"It's very important that I do, because…." Shizuku answered, "I feel horny while doing it…"
The girls' anger skyrocketed because of that answer.
"When my body felt his body…it felt like 'something' was going to come out…" Shizuku continued while dressing herself and Kazuki back.
"STOP RIGHT THERE!" the other girls said.
And what timing as well as Kazuki finally wakes up.
"W-What happened…?" asked Kazuki.
The girls were pleased.
"KAZUKI!" The girls, maids, and his sisters yelled in a huge sigh of relief.
"Perfect…" said Shizuku, making a V-mark on her right hand.
"We're so glad you're alive!" yelled Rias.
"Master's alive…" said Liera, while the other maids sighed in relief.
Kazuki could then see the carnage and damage throughout this area, and without even thinking twice, he used some of his magic to restore the school and the city, and in a much faster rate than Sona's Peerage combined.
"What are you doing?!" Yuna asked.
"I'm fixing the school and the city," Kazuki continued.
"You really don't have to," said Sona.
"Awesome…" Koneko said as she and the others saw the school quickly back to normal as well as the city, and it only took seconds.
"A-Amazing…" said Sona. "Even we couldn't do it THAT fast…"
"As expected from the Strongest Magician!" said Yuna, hugging Kazuki.
"T-Thanks…" said Kazuki.
"I-Incredible…" Keisuke said, who couldn't help but feel jealous of Kazuki's magic, but he has some magic of his own. Of course, all of his magic are NOTHING compared to Kazuki's.
"Well, now the school and the city are fixed, thanks to Kazuki," said Rias. "However, before we go, Yuuto…"
The knight of the Gremory turned his attention to her.
"Please bend over so I can punish you," Rias said pleasantly and made a big magic circle on her hand. "Your punishment for going against my orders is 1000 spanks."
"President!" Yuuto shouted.
"Actually, President," said Kazuki. "I haven't done anything to kill Kokabiel, so please punish me instead of him."
Rias was surprised, but when Liera whispered something into her ear, she couldn't help but agree.
"Well, since you did had the pleasure of getting healed by the loli-snake and actually enjoyed it…I do believe a BIG change is in order. 5,000 spanks…."
Kazuki gulped.
"…from each of us," Rias continued, referring to the girls in her Peerage, Kazuki's friends, sisters, and the Maids. "So Yuuto, you better thank Kazuki for covering you up."
Yuuto couldn't help but feel sorry for Kazuki.
"Thank you, Kazuki! You are a true friend!" said Yuuto.
"Don't worry. We always count on each other," said Kazuki.
And for the next 10 minutes, Genshirou Saji and Valshion couldn't help but laugh at Kazuki getting spanked from the girls of Gremory, the Ayakashi, the witch, the Maids, the two Fallen Angels and his sisters, while Keisuke was given a quick reminder on how scary a girl's wrath can be, and how to notice a girl's feelings.
Now, if you can count 5,000 from each of them, except Shizuku, Asia and Xenovia of course, the amount of spankings Kazuki received is…
(DRUM ROLL)
(Author doing some math, and then came back with the answer)
…a record-breaking 125,000 spankings!
Yeah, and if your bottom doesn't feel anything after all of that, then you are CRAZY!
"The problem now is what to do with her?" Christie said as she pointed at a sleeping Saya in Valshion's arms while Asia is being carried by Raynare.
"If it's possible, I don't want her to be a part of any of this," Keisuke stated his opinion. He knelt down and proceeded to lightly touch Saya's cheek. "She's too pure for this. Even if she can be a bit of a tsundere, this life is not something I want her to be involved in."
"But what if she wanted to be a part of this?" Xarin asked.
"I would still say no, but I will protect her all the way," Keisuke said.
Serena spoke up, "But…the fate of a Sacred Gear user is bound to make her lead an unordinary life. This could be the first of many times that her life would cross with the dealings of the supernatural."
Keisuke stood up and faced Serena and Xarin. "A life of a Sacred Gear user would be too hard for her. And if she was ever to find out about her power then I'll be there to help her." She had always tried her best to be there for him, but he kept pushing her away. He never wanted her life to be ruined by his own life.
"Then if you want, I can wipe her memories off of this incident," Valshion suggested as she looked to the young girl in her arms. "I'm a little bit rusty but I promise you, she will not remember a thing about this incident."
Keisuke smiled and bowed, "Please do."
While all of this was going on, Xenovia was pondering about her future. What would Irina and the others say about this? In the last 2 days, everything she known and believed had been turned upside-down, tossed to the curve and run over by a truck. If even half of what Kokabiel and the Stray Devils had told them was true, then what was the point of their servitude to the Church, let alone Heaven?
** 2 days later **
Everything went back to normal for Kazuki Shikimori, although his butt was still stinging from the punishment. It didn't help when Kaya and Aya, and Kazuki's cousins Yua and Madori all praised Himari and the other girls for killing Kokabiel and they laughed when they saw his butt.
As for Keisuke, he heard that Saya was back at her home straight after and everyone came to school the next morning. Saya had acted like nothing had happened.
** At Class 2-B **
"Hey! Kei!" Saya called before Keisuke placed his bag down.
"Hey to you too. You seem healthier today," Keisuke commented. Since the accident, Valshion had taken care of Saya and had erased her memories of the incident.
That being said, today would be the first day she came into school since the incident. From Keisuke's perspective, she seemed to be fine, nothing out of the ordinary. Valshion even attached a charm on her that would help ward off any magical beings that may attack her in the future. So even then, Keisuke would still see her smile as per usual.
'Valshion…Thank You…You have my gratitude!' Keisuke thought in his head.
** At Class 2-C **
Serena Asmoday was surprised to Sanosuke in the Kuoh Academy summer boys' uniform, with buttons undone, a black tie and white trousers.
"Starting today, we have a new transfer student here, so please try and make him feel welcome," the teacher said before he turned to the new student.
"I am Sanosuke Kiriya. I'll be in your care," he bowed.
** Later that day **
When school ended, it was time for club activities. Keisuke walked to the club classroom with Kazuki. They have been firm friends ever since the incident.
** At the Old School Building **
Both Kazuki and Keisuke entered the room, which was now expanded as the wall between Occult Research Club and the Expedition Club was torn down, and everyone became very close friends.
Then after saying hello to his sisters and his friends, Kazuki was surprised to see…
"Xenovia?!"
Xenovia, in a girls' version of the Kuoh Academy summer uniform.
"Hello, Kazuki," said Xenovia in a cute voice. "After finding out that God has died, I've decided to turn into a Devil as a self-abandonment. I'm now Rias Gremory's Knight, and as a 2nd-year in your class and also a member of the Expedition Research Club."
"Expedition Research Club?" asked Kazuki.
"Yes," said Rias in a new executive chair with Serena sitting on her own executive chair next to her. "We've combined the Occult Research Club and the Expedition Club to make 'The Expedition-Research Club'. Having a Durandal wielder would certainly be very useful in the future."
"The same goes for another good Knight User, Sylvia Burne," said Serena.
It was then that Keisuke looked towards Sylvia before turning his head and looking back at her again.
Sylvia did a light bow, "Good afternoon, Keisuke."
"Wait! Wait! Wait! What is going on?!" He walked up to them before he turned to Serena. "Why is she here?"
Serena placed down her tea. "Oh, I forgot to tell you, Sylvia came up to me and said yes. Since it's a good opportunity, I've made her into a Devil and added her to the Peerage. Here is my new Knight, Sylvia Burne."
"Don't say it like it's really simple! Did President Kaoru know about this?" Keisuke asked her.
"Yeah, she was there when I did the ritual," Serena answered with Kaoru nodding happily.
"Professor Xarin?"
"I only found out last night when I came to make dinner," Xarin answered, simply.
"Christie?"
"Kaoru told me this morning," Christie answered, laughing slightly whilst scratching her head.
"We found out about this too," said Yuuto, as the other OCR members nodded.
"Why doesn't anyone tell me anything?" Keisuke went to crouch in the corner of the room.
"Don't worry about it too much, you know…" Shizuku said, smiling as she patted his head.
Keisuke pushed her hand away. "No! I'm not loved…No one tells me anything," Keisuke cried.
"Anyways," continued Xenovia, ignoring Keisuke. "When Irina found about me becoming a Devil, she was disappointed as she headed towards headquarters. While the mission of retrieving of the swords has been a success, Mother Mira and Amy couldn't help but still help me out for a while, but it won't be long, though. Should they found out about the absence of God, we could become enemies for dear life."
It was then that Kazuki hugged Xenovia.
"It's okay. Knowing her, she still will be our friend. I'll make sure of it," Kazuki stated.
"Thank you, Kazuki," said Xenovia.
Once everyone in the club was here, Rias spoke up.
"The Church made contact with us devils. More precisely, the Great Satan wants to talk about this incident. They said [We would like to make contact with you because of the unclear and dishonest actions of the Fallen Angels and the Stray Devils even though we feel unsatisfactory about this.]. They also apologized about Valper because it was their mistake for letting him escape in the past."
"But this school is truly terrifying. Because there's another sister of a Great Satan attending this school," said Xenovia as she made a sigh.
"The truth about this incident was sent to the Angels and the Devils' thanks to Azazel, the leader of the Fallen Angels, and Valshion. The theft of the Excalibur was an action taken by Kokabiel only, like what the rumors have said. The other leaders didn't know about it. He planned to break the tension between the three sides," said Rias.
"That's good. Serves him right for defying Lord Azazel," said Raynare.
"And good riddance, too," said a new voice. The two peerages all looked to see…
"Dr. Akai?!" the two groups said.
"Up close and personal," chuckled Dr. Akai. "I've actually saw the whole thing, and to think that Himari would merge Kazuki's 10 Commandments Sword and her Yasutsuna sword to create an 'Ultimate Balance Breaker.' This is wonderful!"
"Even I have to admit that her Demon-Mode state was absolutely scary," said Kuesu. Some of the others agreed.
"Anyways, I've just finished from making a phone call from Azazel saying that he would like to apologize for this happening and wanted to arrange a meeting of the three sides," said Dr. Akai.
"Yes, I've heard. Even we are invited to the meeting as well. We have to report about the incident at the meeting because we are now involved," said Serena.
"They probably want our side of the story in this mess," Kaoru said calmly while the others were shocked. Both Kazuki and Keisuke knew that getting involved in something THIS big would lead to this.
"Oh, and also Sanosuke will be coming by soon, but he told me that Vali is on Azazel's side and a good friend of his. Azazel is gathering Sacred Gear possessors who have a Longinus. I don't know what he is thinking, but it's definitely something not good. I'll be keeping a VERY close eye on his research, as well as mine's. The Vanishing Dragon is the top fighter among them. I heard he is the fourth or fifth strongest out of all the people there, including the leaders of Grigori. However, he is definitely not as strong as you Kazuki, who is his rival, but he is very strong," explained Dr. Akai.
"I remembered that Lord Azazel mentioned something about an organization acting up. I forget which one, but he might mention it in the meeting," said Kalawarner.
"I see. This is important to know what is really going on," said Rias.
"And don't worry. Valshion will be there, too, along with a few more friends of Azazel's. I won't tell you who they are, but you'll meet them soon," said Dr. Akai as he walked out of the expanded club classroom.
"...That's right. I will apologize to Asia Argento. Since God didn't exist, then his love and help didn't as well. I'm sorry, Asia Argento. Hit me as much as you want," said Xenovia as she bowed to Asia. Himari senses that Xenovia doesn't show it, but she is being sincere.
"….No, I don't intend to do something like that. Xenovia, I'm enjoying my current lifestyle. Even though I'm a devil now, I met someone… people who are important to me. I am happy because of the place I live in now and the people I have met," said Asia, smiling like the Virgin Mary forgiving her. Kazuki and his sisters and cousins are glad that Asia is back to normal after hearing the rejection of God.
"…. So only you and I are the only Christians that found out about the absence of God. I won't be able to say something like a divine punishment to you now. So, I'm now a heretic huh? I was a holy sword user who was admired, but now a heretic. I can't forget about how their eyes and attitudes changed when they saw me," said Xenovia with a sad look in her eyes as she got up to leave.
"Then I will be leaving. There're a lot of things I need to know about before transferring to this school."
"U...umm!" Asia stops Xenovia.
"On the next weekend I'm going to go out to play with everyone. Would you like to join, Xenovia?" asked Asia with a smile as Xenovia's eyes widen with shock while giving a bitter smile.
"Next time then. This time I'm not interested, but I will swear it in the name of my holy-sword, Durandal. I also would have a battle with the holy-demonic sword user over there as well."
"Alright; next time I won't lose," said Yuuto with a smile.
"And neither would we!" both Rin and Sylvia said with smiles on their own.
Xenovia smiled at Rin and Sylvia as well, knowing she'll have plenty of competition in the future, including Sanosuke, then she left the room after confirming it.
Before he saw something in the corner of his eye, Keisuke notices something on the head desks of Rias and Serena. "Why is there cake?" Keisuke asked.
"Well, since this is such a rare time. Why don't we celebrate?" Kaoru smiled.
Rias and Serena clapped their hands together. "Yes, to celebrate the making of 2 clubs combined in one!" Serena agreed with Kaoru's idea.
"The Expedition-Research Club!" said Rias. "Now, let's start our club activities with our new friends, the Peerage of my long-lost best friend, Serena Asmoday!"
[YES!] everyone applied energetically.
** At the Main Building **
Standing on the rooftop with his arms crossed and eyes shut, Sanosuke saw everything from the Old School Building and smirked. "So you've found your comrades, Sylvia," he said to himself.
(FLASHBACK TIME!)
It was soon after Keisuke agreed to let Valshion wipe Saya's memories clean off of the incident.
"Syl, Sano. You two go home first, I'm going take care of our sleeping beauty here," Valshion suggested.
The two looked to each other and nodded.
"Guess this concludes our business together. We'll see you guys at school tomorrow!" Sanosuke bowed before Sylvia and himself began to walk away.
"Wait!"
Both of them stopped and looked to see Serena taking a deep breath in.
"I've had this on my mind for a while now. Would you both like to join us? As a part of my peerage?" she asked.
Kaoru looked her King wondering if she was sure about this. "Serena," she whispered. All she can do is to support her king's decision if her king was serious right now.
"I'm not asking for an answer right now. I'm just wondering if you two are interested in joining us."
"Then you will get my answer now. I'm sorry, but I must decline. For now," Sanosuke bowed politely before he continued walking away.
"Then why?"
Sanosuke stopped. He looked over his shoulder and mumbled these words. "I don't have the right. Yet..."
(FLASHBACK END!)
"Cherish them. Don't ever make the same mistakes as I did," Sanosuke added. "Right, Vali?"
Vali Lucifer, appearing from the other side of the rooftop, answered, "Right."
** In the Kuoh Academy Halls **
"Amy!"
A young girl heard the call. She turned around to see Naeka, Katase and Murayama of the Kendo Club.
"Naeka, Katase, Murayama. Is there a problem?" Amy asked. Amy was a beautiful young girl, ranked no. 8 by the student body as one of its idols. She had long silver hair with streak of red that were swept to the side and golden yellow eyes. She wore a ribbon at the top of her head. She had a cute face, which were complimented by her hair and smile. She wore the Kuoh academy uniform which gave emphasis on her bust, which would have rivaled Serena's and Rias', and is also a good friend of Xenovia and Irina. but she doesn't know about the disappearance of God yet.

The 3 girls shook their heads. "No, we just wanted to talk, that's all."
"Hey have you seen the new episode, yet?" Katase asked as the four girls continued walking.
'I'm surprised that Xenovia is transferring here,' Amy thought.
** Somewhere Else **
Through her black and light blue magic circle, Valshion appeared in a forest. Valshion walked forward, looking around taking in the nostalgia that the area offered. This actually was the forest by the town. She managed to find herself in front of a pair of gravestones.
"Hey…Long time no see," she greeted. The names on the graves read 'Shinichi Kiriya' and 'Leliel'.
"Your son came back. And I hope you can see that he has grown up quite a lot since I last saw him." She doesn't understand why she was doing this. She knew that dead humans would go to the realm of the dead while Devils, Angels and Fallen Angels alike would be vaporized by the emptiness of the void between dimensions. So there was no way for her to talk to them, maybe it just soothed her to think that she had someone or something to talk to?
"Don't worry about him. I will protect him, Sylvia and all of his new friends. After all, they are like family to me now. I even find some of the members from the Gremory family very interesting. And the best part of it all, is that Sano is now a happier man as Kokabiel and Valper both got what they deserved. So now, you both can really rest in peace."
** At another place **
Kazuki was playing a racing game with his client, who is Azazel. He decided to spill the important news to him.
"Well, another race bites the dust," he said. "Oh, and I forgot to tell you my name. I'm Azazel, leader of the Fallen Angels."
'WHAT?!' Kazuki thought in surprise. 'My client is the leader of the Fallen Angels?!'
No sh*t, Sherlock.
To be continued…
Next time on Magical Devils…
The Occult Research Club has been assigned to clean the pool, and the Expedition Club joins, but they're surprised to see that the MMM Maid Team has already done it for them.
As both clubs get spoiled by the MMM Maid Team, the OCR and some of the Expedition Club, as well as Kazuki's friends try to seduce Kazuki, only to get himself into more trouble.
And later, both the Occult Research Club and the Expedition Club meet Sirzechs and Grayfia, as well as Serena's brother, who's a good friend of Sirzechs, getting ready for Class Observation Day.
Plus, Kazuki and Keisuke both meet up with Sanosuke and the man who is the wielder of Sacred Gear, Divine Dividing, Vali Lucifer!
Now, with these two Peerages together, they are almost an unstoppable crew! But keep in mind that there will be even more characters coming up in the second half! But first, we'll give our characters some time to cool down. They deserve the break, and you'll see on what they're going to do on the next episode of Magical Devils!
Whew! We did it! The longest chapter yet of Magical Devils is finished! College has proven to be a d*ck sometimes, especially when you're VERY close to graduating. Nevertheless, I've found a 'Rare Opportunity' window to write this long chapter. Oh, and I know for a fact that we haven't seen the last of Shakadou and his gang, as well as Ageha and Sasa. Believe me! Before I completely crash, let me remind you about Kazuki's Ultra Harem, which is still in progress!
Kazuki's Harem: Yuna, Kuriko, Rin, Chihaya, Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Asia, Raynare, Kalawarner, Xenovia, Irina, Kuroka, Ophis, Ravel, Rossweisse, Serafall, Gabriel, Liera Scharnhorst, Shino Akai, Himari Noihara, Shizuku, Lizlet L. Chelsie, Kuesu Jinguji, Kaya, Aya, Kasuri Kagamimori, Hisuzu Kagamimori, Ginko the wolf spirit, Chizuru Minamoto, Tamamo(Chizuru's mom)
Kazuki's Family: Tsuyuha Shikimori (Kazuki's sister), Hisae Shikimori (Kazuki's sister), Saori Shikimori (Kazuki's sister), Yua Shikimori (Kazuki's cousin), Madori Shikimori (Kazuki's cousin), Akidzuki Shikimori (Kazuki's ¾ relative)
Friends-with-benefits: Elizabeth, Grayfia(because of her resemblance of Kazuki's mom), Le Fey Pendragon, Gasper Vladi, Sona Sitri and the Student Council of Kuoh Academy, Yukihana, MMM organization, Shantae(half-genie), Yuriko(genie), Sanosuke Kiriya, Serena Asmoday and the Expedition Club, Rheena Seere and her Peerage
And I've made Sona and her Peerage fight with the maids in this chapter. Not to mention that Himari got her chance to shine, and in a big way, too! I've decided to let everyone BUT Kazuki fight, and why? Because his magic has proven to be overkill, so I gave the others their chance to shine and fight.
With all that in mind, it's time for this chapter's Quickie Quiz!
1. Now this is a VERY SPECIAL Question. Without looking back once! How many times did our characters gasp in surprise, shock, horror, etc? And tell me how many attempts did you make?
That's right. Only one question. This is for 5,000 virtual cookies. Here's the challenge part! Every time you look back, cross one zero. That means Attempt #2 is for 500, Attempt #3 50, Attempt #4 or more 5. If you are off by 5, I'll give you half of the virtual cookies.
Now before I go, I'll be sending SuperNaturalGodzilla his Medium Prize, in which what happens to Vali Lucifer after the fight with Kazuki AND Keisuke. As for the other readers, you're going to have to wait for about 5-6 more chapters when that happens.
With all that in mind, read and review, and no flames!
