Fiendish Awakening
A High School DxD Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne
Aria of the soul- Velvet Room OST persona 4
Son of man, you have done a terrific job at landing a blow to your new destiny, it is not everyday someone takes down one of the pillars of hell, even if it was a weak one as the one you fought. Still you fought bravely and thus deserve your rest.
Yet, even in rest you must be weary, for danger lurks, on both sides of the world, in the realm of demons you now can enter, and in this realm, when enemy faction's learn of you... they might hate you, and may will to kill you before you reach a level away from their control, but still, if nothing else... rest, you have earned it.
Chapter 4: Pulchrum monacha et fyndes/ The beautiful Nun and the Fiend.
Issei was on the park, he was ditching classes, no need to go there right now, he was strong, but until he had dealt with that... Raynare bitch, well he didn't want to get anyone involved in case they looked for him for revenge.
And so he was by the park, it was... peaceful, like last night's event's did not happen.
"Penny for your thoughts master?" Pixie asked as she had sat on his shoulder, casting an illusion on herself to not allow any humans to see her.
"Nah, just thinking, the demon world is full of strife, isn't it?" I asked.
"Well, yeah, we ARE demons, some like violence, some don't, but in the end we all fight" she said.
Still, he wanted to change that, so that no one had to suffer.
He stood up and decided to walk.
"GYAH!" a female voice yelled.
I collided by accident with someone, when I opened my eyes I could not believe it.
It was a beautiful blond haired girl, she had the most deep green eyes I ever seen, she was wearing a crucifix for some reason...
Oh! I finally noticed it, her outfit, she was a nun.
"A lot of demons have a holy maiden fetish FYI... so it's ok" Pixie said with a smirk.
"Here, let me help you" I said as I help her up and picked her stuff, she quickly grabbed a pair of panties she saw that fell of her luggage, she was so adorable.
She was lost and asked for directions.
She wanted to go to a church, the old one a fair ways from here.
And so I took her there, it was the least I could do, also I was quite taken by her.
They reached the place... it was rather... empty.
"Would you care for some tea?" She asked.
"Uh... sure" I said.
"OH? What do we have here?" a voice said.
It was a sing-songly voice,
The person who asked was a young man, white hair and red eyes.
"Ah, Father Sellzen, he is the one who helped me find the way here" the girl, Asia, said.
"Oh... I see well then I must thank you very much... you see, she is very important to uuuuusss " he said.
He had a sick grin, I didn't not like him, I did not trust him.
And my demons did not like him either.
"please enjoy the tea... I hope is enough for the likes of you" he said with a sadistic grin.
I drank the tea, he was rather surprised as he examined up and down.
"Uhmm... anyways kid, you better go home, baaaaaaad things happen at night after all" he said.
"Don't I know it" I thought to myself.
"Thank you for the tea, it was tasty, I hope to see you again" I said with a bow and left the place.
I did not know it... but I would soon return to that place once again.
Still It was rather nice.
I had to go to the "Shadow Hour"... I needed to get stronger... and I would definitely buy those 2 megatamas from Hee-ho-kun now.
I continued my research on my demonic abilities, it seems I could 'consume' the megatama I got from beating the crap out of that demon, I don't think Rias or Souna would like the fact that I killed one of the pillars off.
First thing first... I ingested the megatama.
My body begun to freeze, and then... knowledge went to my brain, I was glad that this worked better than when I first turned... cause I did not want to experience the same level of pain.
I had now ice elemental attacks... I went to see the book

It seems my Level went up by 5 since I fought that demon boss man, that's cool, my demons also leveled up and their strength also grew, Pixie could now do healing spells, Frosty had now Re patra, that allowed to raise an ally in case he was put down.
Still I went back to the demon world, I would take it easy, I wanted to buy those 2 megatamas that the owner of the store had, he had time to kill, he wanted to find out where that bitch angel was.
He decided to go to Rias for the time being, work started as soon as it got dark, and until midnight he had time to kill.
Rias gave him an address to go to, and he went there to help the guy out.
"I don't like that red haired bimbo... she is trying to muscle into our man" Pixie said seething and Pua was giggling at the indignity that Pixie was showing.
They got inside the house, it was open.
"Hello... you summoned one of the Gremory, so... I am here to help with whatever you might need?" I said.
I stopped.
That scent...
"Master... look out... there is blood..." Pixie said.
A blade went straight to my head, I managed to dodge it.
It was not a regular blade... it was a blade made with holy energy.
"Ohhh... looky here... it's the kid from the church... ho are youuuu ? You doing good? Kinda weird seeing you here, I thought you where a human since the tea that was served to you was laced with Holy water... I had hoped you where a demon, but surprise surprise! You were a human, I couldn't kill you... yet, but imagine my joy when I found you came here! HERE of all places! So you are not a devil but you are working for them... naughty naughty... it seems I need to administer 'Devine' justice!" Father Sellzen said as he raised his gun.
I dodged the bullets, it was rather hard to do, I never done it... but my body was fast, real fast.
"Oh, you move fast kid, I'll give you that... I am gonna take my time cutting you to pieces! Kayahahahahaha!" he laughed deranged.
Then... I saw it... the person who had called a devil, was cruelly crucified on the wall, his neck cut up so he would bleed to death.
I moved and punched him in the gut, or I would have if he hadn't used his gun and sword to block it, still he went trough a couple walls.
"Maaaan! That's the stuff You are hella crazy strong... but guess whaaaat ? I am also awesome-sauce!" he said as he charged in and slashed at me.
For every punch I threw he hit me twice as many with his sword attacks, my attacks counted as 3 times his own strength, but he hit me many times in a couple seconds.
I might have the advantage in power, but he had advantage in both technique and speed...
I needed to even the playing field.
Inside my pockets was the last 2 remaining zio rocks.
I chuck em at him.
"hahaha seriously? Rocks... what else, rubber and glue?" he said as he went back.
"Acivate" I said.
"Uh?"
ZZZZZZZZZTTTTTZzzzzzzzz
"Ggygygygygyaygyaygyagagagaaaaaa!" he yelled as his body was now being shocked to hell.
"Take that asshole... now I am going to beat you do death" I said.
"D... damn... th... that's cheap... what did you do... those rocks... they had a magic on them? Man that's... cheap... you fucking cheat" Sellzen said as he glared.
"GYAHHH!" a female voice.
Issei turned to see a person he recognized, he really wanted her not to be here.
"Asia? What are you doing here?" get away... that 'father' is a crazy SOB" I said.
"W... what's going on... why is there a dead man... father Sellzen?" She said as panic begun to set in.
"D... damn it kid... did you have to ruin my fun? Well whatever... I will see you next time kiddo" he said as he threw a pellet down and light blinded me.
"Damn it... where did they go?" he asked.
"I am not sure, but they went north west... I lost them a few minutes after... I think it was..." Pixie said.
"The church... I am gonna go and raid it... but we need more people, erm... demons... and I need to grow a bit more stronger... we are going back" I said.
"WOOT!" Hua said in cheer.
A few hours later
I stood on a corner, where I was when I first went into that world.
And I was transported back, I managed to trek back to the place, where Garm just stared at me.
"YoU'vE GrOwN... GoOd" he said as he let me pass.
I gone in and every cheered over my victory of the demon that had been preying on the spirit of the dead, it felt nice to felt needed and wanted.
And so I made my way to the store.
"Oh-hooo... It seems like mr. Hero comes to visit... what can I do you for?" he asked.
"The two megatamas on the shop... and... oh is that revival beads? I thought those are rare" I asked
"Yeah, but I managed to get some... you want em? Since you getting the most expensive stuff in the store I will give you two as a gift" he said with a smirk.
With the shopping done I decided to see if there was any other combat oriented missions.
They weren't but some where nice to do, deliver certain things to a specific demons, cure some, beat some others, the 'usual' for a demon world, that is.
Location, feudal Japan
"Oi, you sure this is ok? Last time we did this we fought against kids from the future who could summon as many demons as you could, and he was crazy strong too" the cat said.
"Don't worry, this is not too far in the future like our last time..." Raidou said.
He picked up his summoning tubes and got not only the strongest, but tactical ones as well, demons who could help heal and increase his base parameters in case it was needed, he loaded his gun and brought about plenty of ammunition and also the ingredients necessary to make the specialty bullets he used.
"Well is not much, but I will also back you up, let's face it, social skills are not your forte, and I will help you however I can" the black cat said.
"Thanks, old friend... the ritual to summon the demon who will take us there will be done by tomorrow... sleep well" He said.
Tokyo international airport
A man wearing a red coat stepped out of the airport. A Vehicle was arranged for him, it was not fancy, but it looked good, also, it was a sport model, and it was red.
"Well... mission start... I guess?" the man said as he got in. a small envelope was in the glove compartment.
"Dante-san, I urge you to come into the church at this address at about 11PM on the day after tomorrow, everything will be explained by then" the letter said It was signed with an "A.S"
Well, at least he also splurged for a hotel room.
He went to the hotel specified, it wasn't 5 starts, but it wasn't a dump either... at least 3 stars hotel... not bad. He hated expensive places, he was a man of beer and pizza himself.
"Well... let's get ready" He said as he put his suitcase down.
It begun to glow red.
Dark hour
"ah... that fells good... we got new friends too... let's see" I said as I took out the book to check what we had.
"Moh Shuvuu... level 9; Gagyson level 10 and a Garm level 10" seems he was taken by me, also I needed to bribe him and Gagyson with some macca and some items.
"There is also an Ogre who is now level 9... this guy... he was brute strength ALL the way" I read the book... good, now I had a small team, and they all had diverse abilities and coupled with my sacred gear I felt confident on it.
"Who fells like tearing up a church... and saving a damsel in distress?" I said with a smirk.
Ogre was rather... enthusiast... I thin he liked breaking shit up. Garm just howled so I took that as a yes.
Moh Shuvuu just stared and offered to act as lookout.
Gagyson was interested on seeing these... fallen as they called themselves.
And so the team was set.
Gagyson, Ogre, Garm and Frosty would be in point for me as the main attack force, Pixie and Huan would divide themselves, Pixie will stay with the main attack force while Huan stayed with the rest to serve as the healer of the group, as the rest of them would serve to distract anyone affiliated with the fallen.
"Leave the one called Raynare to me... she and I... have a unsolved debt I need to collect" I said.
"also... we need to get the nun out of there... I am... feeling anxious, I don't trust that fake priest, he might try something" I said.
The dark hour stopped, it was good he took a sleep on an abandoned warehouse in the devil world and now he was refreshed.
The next morning
I went for classes the next day, it was boring, so boring.
Boringboringboringboringboringboringboringboringboringboringboringboringboring
I think I took more damage out of the boredom in class than when I fought that demon.
I had to report the death of the one who called upon her, so I went to her.
ORC club room
"W... WHAT!? A Priest here?! He killed the contractor?" she said in shock.
"Yeah... he tried to kill me too... but I managed to force him to retreat... he did not seem particularly... 'holy man' material tough" I said.
"Stray exorcist" she said.
"come again?"
"Stray exorcist... are exorcist who fell down the holy path... most of them do so cause they find only joy in killing, even if they shouldn't do that, most are put to death... apparently this one managed to get away" Kiba said, his voice had a lot of hatred to it.
He must had a bad experience with them.
Not my problem, so I won't ask.
"Still, he also has a hostage tough... a young nun" I said.
"What?! Are you sure she was not working with him?" Rias asked.
"While she IS working with him, she had no idea what it is he was doing, most likely due to her caring and trusting nature... that is why, I am asking you if you'd help me rescue her" I said.
"I wish I could, but... unfortunately, they belong to the fallen faction, should we move against them... well... we could cause a war" Rias said with a sight.
I could feel the sincerity on her words.
"Even if she is a devil, she is pretty kind-hearted... so master... shall we do the operation?" Moh Shuvuu said.
Yes... it should start tonight, I would reject the pull of the dark hour as the book taught me how.
And so we made out way to the church.
I cracked my neck. I would only use my sacred gear if it was truly necessary, I wanted to beat that bitch with my human body.
They waited until dark.
ORC clubroom
"Kiba... Koneko... please, keep an eye on him... make sure he is able to come back safe and sound, I know you don't like him Koneko... but I don't think he would hurt you, least you gave him a reason" Rias said.
Koneko nodded as she and Kiba left to reach Issei.
"We should also depart... I heard interesting rumors" Rias said.
"About what, Rias buchou?" Akeno asked.
"It seems there is a ritual happening in the church... I don't know much except it's about a sacred gear" Rias said.
"Ah.. I see"
"Yes... they might be wanting to extract it from someone... and from records we can surmise" Rias said.
"That the one in that position... would die?" Akeno finished
"Yes... I am not so sure it's for Issei... they don't know about his sacred gear... but I wonder... who could it be... the nun?" Rias said.
"Still we need to go trough the back door... it would be a pain to let the fallen do such a thing" Akeno said.
"Then let's do so... I wanna pay that fallen for making poor Issei turn into that way... that was barbaric" Rias said.
"I just want to see how Issei will fight this... if our information is correct..." Akeno said.
"Yes... there will be a LOT of stray exorcists" Rias said.
Church outskirts
"Come... my demons!" I said as the magic circles appeared on the ground and on the air.
The demons summoned nodded, they knew what to do... anyone who had black wings like a crow was to be taken down... HARD. Anyone else, they could be casualties for all he cared, but no one would touch the nun, nor Raynare.
He also left explicit orders to NOT attack any devils that may come, just stay out of their way, and assist them if nessesary.
And so... with a kick, he blew the door off it's hinges.
"Operation start" he said as the demons in synchronization attacked both rear and front.
"Hua... set fire to those tree's that will attract attention, also try setting fire to the room on the second floor, they will need people to carry water and the like, so it will divide them even more" Moh said as she dictated orders from the sky.
"Yes princess!" she said a she made things burn.
"HEY THERE IS FIRE STARTING ON THE SECOND FLOOR!"
"Hey... isn't that Father Sellzen's room?" one said.
"OMG! MY STASH OF PORN! MY THROPHIES OF MY KILLS!" He yelled as he went up to salvage what he could.
"I... is he really a father of the church?" one asked.
"W... who cares, we need to stop this or the whole church would burn" the other said as they carried buckets of water.
"MaStEr! ThE ScEnT oF tHe NuN bE sTrOnG hErE!" Garm said.
With a kick I made the pupil shatter, to show a hidden door.
"Basement floor, cute nun, many priests and a bitch fallen angel who I am gonna rip a new one" I said as I jumped down.
"CaReFuL... I sEnCe StRoNg PoWeR... BiRd WiNgS" Garm said.
I entered the room... it was choke full of priests in robes, a single huge cross, a girl, dressed in barely a nightie was hanging from chains.
The priests closed rank.
"Issei? Hyodou Issei? You are... you are the one who did in HIM?! … k... kahahahahhaahahaha... how stupid... I was worried for a second... then the one he warned me about must be another" she said.
"No... it was me... I will rip you apart Raynare" I said in a cold mechanical voice.
"Appear before me" I said as my demons took physical form in this realm.
"W... what?!" Take care of the priests... you are free to go wild on them... but no one touch her... she is MINE" I said as I charged in.
She was shocked, my speed was superior, as was my strength, to that of a regular human.
What's worst, is that he had not used his sacred gear, maybe he couldn't use it.
"I am going to pay you for what you did little Fallen" I said as I threw a rock.
"Activate"
"GAAHH!" electricity flowed trough her body.
"An eye for an eye... a tooth for a tooth..." I said as I approached to her.
I slid a dagger on her back "and a piercing attack to another" I said as the blade sunk deep into her back.
"YOU INSOLENT WORM!" she yelled as she attacked with many spears of light.
With my bare hands I blocked them and shattered them.
"Tell me... are you afraid?" I said.
"W... what?!" she asked.
"Are. YOU. Afraid?" I asked
I deliberately walked slowly as I used Fog Breath, making everyone in the room twice as slow as they where... I did not want ANYONE to leave this place without learning a lesson.
"I am not gonna let you leave this place alive Raynare... you humiliated me, you broke my heart, you killed me and you make me change into what I am now... now... let's begin... shall we?" I sad as I gave her a kind smile.
It terrified her.
The perverted beast, the enemy of women, lust incarnate, the perverted pig that everyone knew of... he was a weak human.
Then why...
Crash
Why?
CRASH RIP
why was he destroying her!?
He hit me on the stomach with a punch... I had to reinforce my stomach else all the contents would spill out.
"Good... do resist, makes it better... for me that is" I said as I continued to hit Raynare mercilessly
"ENOUGH!" She said as she shot 30 spears of light.
"Garm... use War CRY!" I yelled
HOOOOOOWLLLLLL
With that all of the enemies strength was sapped.
"WH... what is this... what did you do? What are those creatures?!" Raynare asked in shock as she saw the bodies of the priests on the floor.
"When you killed me, you should have made DAMN sure I was dead... I was still grasping for life... and then... something happened, remember... when we where to that antique store? Well I bought something there, tough bought meant I paid with money, It was given to me... you see it was a megatama... apparently it was not an ordinary one... this one brought me back to life... at the cost of my humanity... look at me... and SEE WHAT YOU HAVE UNLEASHED UPON YOURSELF!" I roared as my body changed.
I did not call for the boosted gear, there was no need to use it here.
My shirt torn off my body could see many tribal tattoos, they where rather shining in the darkness of this place.
The demons managed to get Asia out of the cross, whatever plan she had failed.
"I... W... what are you!?" she said as she went back.
"I became a fiend... and now... my only current goal... is to pay you back for killing me" I said as I got closer, my amber eyes where like molten gold in a dark place, glowing with anger.
I got closer
"Are you ready? To die?" I said as I rose my hand.
"I will no... I WILL NTO DIE! I STILL HAVE ASSASIEL-SAMA TO SERVE... I WILL AMKE HIM LOVE ME... ONCE I GOT THE TWILIGHT HEALIN-" her words stopped in mid sentence.
"I would have thought your heart would be as dark as night... it seems... rather normal... oh well... I am done... goodbye... fallen trash" I said as I left the girl... looking at her own heart in her hands.
She looked at her chest... a fist sized hole was there.
"A... Assasel...sama?" she said with tears on her eyes.
Fire started to gather around the basement.
"D... do you love me"
"Kahahahaa... him love you? With that black heart of yours? Get real... you tried to kill our master... now you gonna burn for it" a childish voice said.
A red skinned faery appeared as she smiled kindly.
"Now... please die" she said as Raynare's body begun to burn in flames
"GAHHHH!" she yelled in pain as she rolled on the floor, but it was all for naught, the fire went inside her body, consuming her from within.
I went to the young girl that Garm had put on his back and took all the way up.
"Hooo... this is interesting... you... you must be the one I got to beat up uh?" a white haired man sat as he sat down on a pile of pews that had been launched.
In the floor was an unconcious Kiba and a semi-concious Koneko
"K... Koneko-chan, Yuuto-san! Who the hell are you?!" I roared.
"Easy there kid, don't worry... I will put you down real quick" The man said as he pulled a pair of guns.
Danger
DANGER
This man was dangerous, he was powerful... too powerful... Even with the aid of my demons I would...
No... escape is impossible... the place is burning down.
Wait... there was still that thing...
I can't escape, but if I can beat him down and tire him out, I may be able to escape.
[BOOOST]
The gauntlet appeared on my arm.
"Neat trick, now is my turn" the man said.
He disappeared.
"STINGER!"
I barely had time to block... the pointy part of his sword nearly made it trough, if I did not sway tot he left, I would have been impaled.
The wall behind me blew to kingdom come.
"let's get this party started!" he said as he charged up to me.
[BOOST]
"DAMN IT TAKE THIS!" I yelled as I delivered a punch to his face, making him back-flip 3 times on the air as he crashed against the opposite wall.
"Damn... that was one hell of a haymaker... gotta hand it to the bossman, when he said I would have fun in this job I thought he was joking" He said as he picked himself up
[BOOST]
"RAAAHH!" I yelled as I charged yet again.
The man disappeared only to reappear from above "HELM BREAKER!"
The ground exploded.
Forget being a demon, devil or a fiend.
If I get hit by that... I would die... for sure.
But I couldn't stop... I had to buy some time for Koneko to get up and get Kiba out of there.
BANG BANG!
I put my arms up to block the bullets, they hurt... A LOT.
Thankfully my skin was WAY tougher than a human's.
[BOOST]
I rushed up to him, my speed had shot up once more.
"DAMN, This is good, I haven't fought a decent fight in AGES, not since my asshole brother bit the dust" he said as he pulled his sword up.
"Y... YOU THINK I AM JUST GONNA LET YOU KILL ME FOR NO REASON!? GET REAL ASSHOLE!" I yelled
[BOOST]
"I am tired of people trying to kill me, I am tired of being sad, and I am TIRED OF NOT BEING ABLE TO GET MY HUMANITY BACK! I wanna CRY DAMN IT! I WANNA FEEL THAT I AM VENTING WITH MY TEARS!" I yelled
[It seems my partner has grown exponentially]
"Uh? Who said that?" I said as I looked around.
[I did, partner... I got to say... I never expected this, I thought you might become a devil, or stay human, never thought my partner would be a fiend, or rather, a demi-fiend]
"What can we do?" I asked.
[Well what you are fighting... is a pretty bad match-up... that guy is a famous devil hunter... Dante, he is FAR superior to you at your current rate, but... there is ONE thing you can do] my gauntlet said
I urged him to continue.
[Balance breaker, an ability that is a bug in the system, with it your strength would be incredible, rather than waiting for 10 seconds per boost, it would be at will... but... it will leave you drained in about 10 minutes] it said.
"How do I do it?" I asked.
[That... I can't help you... is up to the user itself to open the door] the gauntlet said.
"Hey... do you have a name?" I asked.
[Ddraig... the red dragon emperor, remember that brat]
With that I woke up... under a rubble of mortar and stones. The young nun still out like a light.
"I need power... more power... power to fight those who wanna hurt me... those who wanna kill me, those who hurt those who wish to help me" I thought.
I pushed deeper inside.
Open the door
[BALANCER BREAKER: SCALE MAIL] the gauntlet yelled
My body was covered by red armor.
The power in me grew.
"GET READY ASSHOLE...HERE COMES ROUND 2!" I yelled as I charged at him while he smirked
[BoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoostBoost!]
"Bring it kid!" he said as he did a 'come hither' pose.
