'Lord where ever your soul may rest please forgive me.'
The alarm system that monitored the barrier and sealing defenses around 666 were very clear with the message they were blaring. The pocket dimension had been entered twice. The barrier had been deactivated and the rock where 666 resided had been destroyed.
Shortly thereafter an exorcist in Kuoh reported a being ripping open a dimensional portal and entering the airspace above the city. Michael was well aware that this was the approximate location where the pocket dimension connected to the Earths. So one of the beasts of the apocalypse was now loose within the world.
Michael could remember the conversation he had with his lord that fateful day. The four Satans were driving a wedge into the angel's line and Azazel was rallying his faction to counter attack. Their situation was looking grim. God should have already arrived but was clearly delayed by the unknown energy signature that had been sensed earlier.
He was taking a moment to direct their forces in the battle and was near the rear of their army. Finally his lord appeared before him. He looked very drained and Michael had immediately begun trying to help him. But God had lifted his arm and conjured a chair which he sat heavily upon.
"Michael did you sense the being I fought with?"
The question was simple but Michael could tell it was important. He nodded.
"Yes my lord. It was a strange signature which helped me differentiate it over the chaos around here."
"Good, if the worst should happen today I want you to remember my words now. The being I encountered is far too powerful to be free in the world. He seems to have been in combat with Great Red in the gap. When he appeared before me he was very wounded.
"He attacked me before I had even registered his presence. For this sin I fought back. Even while wounded he was able to fight near evenly with me. But he was surprised by something I said and I was able to seal him away.
"Michael, he must always remain sealed. I fear his re-entry into the world would bring about the true apocalypse. The end of our world and the downfall of mankind. A being as evil and powerful as he is a much greater threat than any devil or fallen angel."
Bowing his head Michael took a knee.
"My lord, I hear your words. I pray for righteous victory today and may this conversation have been in vain."
But for all his efforts that day his lord had fallen in combat. He had taken the four great Satans alongside him and devastated the devil and fallen angel army's. But he had still fallen all the same. The war had come to an uneasy truce after that day. And later when word of Great Red's duel in the gap leaked, Michael was able to piece it together with the words of God from that day. It had reinforced his drive to keep that dimension locked away for eternity.
But he had failed his lord once more. The final command he had been entrusted with was broken and he had no idea how it had happened.
Michael stepped out of the room where the forgotten signal device lay. He snapped his fingers and the closest angel instantly teleported to him.
"Gather the Seraphs. Gather everyone. We have a problem."

"Lord Azazel! Lord Azazel did you feel that energy? A strange pressure just crashed upon the city."
"Yes, yes I am well aware. For now head to the underworld and alert everyone. Call everyone back from their missions. Otherwise remain on standby until I give another order."
His bodyguard bowed deeply and flew off towards their teleportation room. Azazel stood up and drained his beer. He walked to his closest and pressed a special panel on the wall. It opened up a hidden room and inside his armor stood displayed on a rack.
He recognized that energy signature. It had been the one to delay God before he arrived at the final battle. Something big was happening today. And it definitely felt like he would need this suit. After all 666 was supposed to be the bringer of the apocalypse.

"Shit Grayfia. Shit, oh I can't take it. Wait. No nononono, more yeah! Yes do it some more!"
"Honestly Sirzechs it is just a backrub."
"Grayfia, please it just feels sooooo good!"
Grayfia, know across the supernatural community as the strongest [Queen] and the second strongest female devil could only sigh at her husband's ridiculousness. The powerful energy surge had caught everyone's attention and after a boring and useless discussion between the noble devil council Sirzechs had demanded a back rub. She didn't know why she put up with it sometimes.
"Lord Lucifer. Your sister Lady Rias has sent a message. She requests you hear it immediately."
Grayfia hid a smile of triumph at the interruption. Sirzechs would quickly lose all thoughts of goofing off if something serious was up from Rias. And indeed he had quickly stood up and was pulling on his shirt.
"Enter and speak the message."
One of the servants of the Lucifer household entered then bowed lowed before his master. He withdrew a piece of paper from inside his pocket.
"Big brother. I need you or Grayfia to come to Kuoh right now. A huge energy wave blasted across the sky earlier. It was then followed by a figure ripping a hole in the sky before exiting into the airspace above the city. The pressure this figure gave off just by being here was enough to knock my breath away and everyone around us was on the ground suffocating. I don't know where this being went. But I think they are still in the city. Please come, I think I need your help with this one.
"End of the message my lord."
"Grayfia, gather the peerage and meet me at the circle. I will be going straight to Kuoh. I want you all to follow behind me when you are prepared."
With that Sirzechs Lucifer, often considered the strongest devil in the underworld strode from the room. If his little sister needed his help nothing would stand in his way.

'Hey Kurama, do you think people can really fly in those giant metal things?'
Naruto thought inside his head.
"They must be able to kid. How else would they have gotten up there? I bet your chakra just stunned them out of flight or something."
Naruto nodded to himself. Kurama was able to perceive the gesture and once more went back to trying to boost Naruto's chakra recovery.
Naruto was strolling down the sidewalk in this town and had his nose on high alert. It looked like it was mid-day and the street was crowded. He had noticed large metal vehicles moving up and down the open roadway and observed people walking along the raised side section.
His clothing stuck out slightly but people seemed to just brush him off. He knew when people were trying to ignore him. But he wasn't bothered so his hands were behind his head as he walked carefree searching for some food.
A smell he was very familiar with caught his attention and he began drooling at the thought.
"Just go and eat it already. I mean when was the last time you actually ate ramen?"
'Yeah, you're right Kurama might as well enjoy myself.'
And so Naruto entered a sidewalk stand. A row of stool lined a counter and only several were still open. Naruto quickly captured one before he was blocked from eating here. A girl behind the counter noticed him and smiled.
"I will be with ya in a sec dear."
He took the time to read the menu.
'Strange we speak the same language here huh?'
He idly noticed. Kurama just huffed his agreement.
"Alright dear what 'ill it be?"
"Five miso please."
"Five miso huh? That's a pretty funny accent you got. Where are ya from?"
"A pretty far away place. No one has ever heard of it."
The waitress accepted his answer and went to relay the order to the chef. A couple minutes later she brought him two steaming bowls. He quickly finished them off after hearing the others would be following shortly.
"Oh wow, you finished these two already?"
"Heh, it's been a while since I have had ramen this good. Gimme those three, and tell the chef he rocks."
The waitress smiled and went to walk back to pick up another order.
"Hey Mr. Takeda. A customer wanted me to say…"
"What was that? I didn't catch what you said."
"Uhh… Hmm I forgot, but I will take this next order up."
When she turned around and went to the counter she glanced at an empty seat on the left and noticed three empty bowls. She must have forgotten to take them to the back.
As Naruto walked away he finished his fourth hand sign and his genjutsu fell over the people in the shop. No one would remember him ever being there or eating five bowls of miso ramen. He grimaced slightly but spotted a sign that read hotel and entered the building.
He walked to the counter and discreetly went through the same set of signs. The waiting employee turned around and handed him an empty room key. Then wished him a good day.
Naruto stumbled up the first flight of stairs before slapping himself awake again. It would do no good to fall asleep on the stairs. He made it to his room on the third floor and walked inside. He zipped through another set of hand signs before touching his hands to the door.
It flashed briefly before the Kanji for locked appeared carved into the wood. He turned and collapsed onto the bed. He briefly felt bad about cheating these people out of honest work. But this was nothing compared to what he has done before. A ninja's work was never honest.

Sirzechs entered into the room and noticed the whole club was assembled before him. Even that silly half vampire boy. He let his senses out and noticed a disturbing amount of powerful people around the city. But no one felt similar to the energy that he had felt even in the underworld earlier.
"Hiya everyone."
"Brother, powerful angels, fallen angels, and other signatures are popping up all over the city. But Koneko here hasn't been able to sense that person's chakra since they disappeared. Do you know what is going on?"
"Weeeell. I have some pretty good guesses. But I don't know for sure right now. If it is the one I think it is. Then there might be a lot of trouble brewing right now."
The group started mingling and Rias told her brother everything the group had observed. When suddenly another bright flash illuminated the club room and Serafell Leviathan strode into the room. Where she then quickly started hugging her sister.
In the chaos of Serafell's antics. Sirzechs caught her eye and she nodded to him. They both suspected the same thing. So when both of their peerages entered the room, the younger devils were awed at the grouping of so many powerful devils.
"Everyone, there is someone loose in this city right now. Other factions are gathering and everyone is searching for this person right now. We don't have a lot of information but it is believed to be 666 or as some may know it Trihexa. One of the two beasts of the apocalypse.
We do not know what this being looks like, only that it is strong enough to fight with Great Red and the biblical god was exhausted after sealing it away. Apparently it has a human like form. Koneko here said the being utilizing chakra. So go and search for strange sources of chakra. Do not get into any fights with other races.
Both Satan's peerages bowed deeply before scattering across the city. Sona and Rias's peerages were still in the room and they were now even more confused on the situation.
"Serafell, if this being is really 666 what is about to happen?"
Sona asked a good question and everyone turned to listen.
"Well 666 is supposed to be as strong as the greatest existence. Or nearly so. If a fight breaks out against it then this city is likely to get demolished. And after that? Who knows? Great Red could probably kill the entire devil race if he tried. So a being just as powerful could do anything."
The group was amazed. Was the figure who saved those planes from crashing really that powerful?

Outside Naruto's hotel room
"Are you absolutely certain?"
Archangel Michael turned to look the governor-general of the fallen angels, Azazel in the face. He smiled cheekily and replied.
"Yes Michael. When Sirzechs here said to scout for chakra I went and got my chakra detector. Which immediately registered this growing power. Inside this room is a source of chakra that is so vast it almost appears infinite and it is still growing. So if 666 is anywhere. It is most likely inside this room."
Around him, the other Seraphs hardened their faces. The two Satans readied themselves, and his attending fallen angels sprouted their wings. The three factions were preparing to work together to meet 666 before any of the other factions could try and potentially sway it to their side.
'Yes, something big is about to happen today.'
Azazel thought with a smirk.
Well that's the second chapter. I had mostly typed it up last night and was thinking of releasing it later this week. But then I saw the ridiculous amount of favs/follows and decided since it was so well received I would put it out today.
It is kind of short. But I imagine the next chapter will be longer. It actually has some fighting in it.
I went back and did some touch ups on the previous chapter if that kind of thing matters to you.
Otherwise I hope you all continue to enjoy reading this. Feel free to leave a review or write me a pm with any questions or comments.
