Issei Hyoudou, although a little worried, was still having the best day ever. Yesterday, he thought he was going to be a sorry excuse for a man until college, then all of a sudden Yuma, from some school he never heard about, wanted to be his girlfriend.
To say he was ecstatic would be an understatement, especially since this person's bod was also exceptional.
He was currently waiting near a bus stop, the agreed upon spot for him and Yuma, except she was now fifteen minutes late.
"Here, take a flyer!" Issei looked to the side, seeing a chick dressed as if it was Halloween, after waving she sauntered off. Issei looked at the flyer, then sighing.
"All of your wishes will come true. Yeah right, as if that ever happens." He joked to himself, when he felt something on his leg. He looked down to see a cat. It looked like what a black cat should be, but it was hot pink instead of black. Dyed fur maybe? "Hey buddy." Issei bent down, stuffing the flyer in his pocket, going to scratch the cat. As if he had magic fingers, the cat purred affectionately, leaning into his hand as if asking for more. "Oh, you like that huh?"
"Issei!" The teen boy looked to his left, spotting Yuma running towards him. He got back up, greeting her. Yuma then spotted the cat, curious looking. "Hey, who's your friend?" The girl asked, bending down to pet it.
This time, the cat hissed at her, then bolted away into a bush.
"Huh, that's weird, it allowed me to pet it, but it seemed to dislike you." Issei said obviously, scratching his chin.
"Well, I never had much luck in animals." Yuma stated, smiling. "Well, shall we get going?"
Issei nodded, allowing the date to start.
"Mr. Pinkerton located both Issei and the undercover Fallen." Virgillia said to her King. "It seems they tricked him into a date."
"Really? Oh how they have fallen." Nobunaga said, then getting small groans from some of the peerage.
"Tell him to keep tailing them. Rias must've already established a way to teleport to him, your familia is our only way to know when to teleport." Oberon stated, which his queen nodded, relaying the telepathic message back to Mr. Pinkerton.
It was a fun day for Issei. Sure he probably was caught staring at Yuma's boobs, but she seemed fine with it. And right now he's holding her hand.
At least for about seven seconds, she then broke it off, and jogged to the nearby fountain. "Hey Issei, to remember this first date, can i ask a for a favor?"
Oh my god, Issei began thinking. She's going to kiss me isn't she? "Yeah, anything you want."
As if a 180 that Issei didn't immediately catch, Yuma's innocent smile turned into a sinister one. "I want you to die for me."
"...Uh, what was that? Sorry I must be hearing things!" Issei laughed it off, he must be going crazy. That is, until Yuma came closer, and practically whisper in his ear.
"I want you to die for me."
And then, Issei witnessed an actual transformation. He caught sight of actual boobs, and saw that yuma became scantily dressed. He was mesmerized with the sexiness that yuma just did.
Then he realized that Yuma had wings now. Words went in through one ear and out the other, and then saw her materialized a spear in her hand.
"Y-Yuma, what are yo-GAH!"
Issei felt something go through his stomach, and blood gushed out of his mouth, the demon that was yuma grinning sinisterly.
"Sorry, you're too much of a threat to us. But don't blame yourself, blame him, he gave you the Sacred Gear after all." "Yuma" said, sitting on the fountain. What the fuck is she even talking about? Before he could even ask that, Yuma disappeared, and Issei felt pathetic.
The last thoughts before losing consciousness was the color red, the color of her hair.
The only witness was the hot pink cat that remained hidden in the bushes. After the fallen left, the cat came out, then stared as a red magic circle made itself apparent, followed by three others.
A redhead looked down upon the dead boy, stating a monologue that he didn't understand. The cat mewed, and soon ten purple magic circles appeared near the cat, soon forming Oberon and his peerage. Oberon had his hands in his pocket, cracking his neck, Virgillia had a book on hand, a tome she calls it. Nobunaga had what seemed to be a katana sheathed on his left hip. Kotori held nothing, but she was thinking of a naginata that is of great import to her. Ryo also had his hands in his pockets, but he began growling, sniffing the air for any nearby foes. Ritsuke held a halberd upon her shoulder, and Blair held a pistol in each hand. Abend carried what seemed to be a small mantle with him, and sophos had gauntlets attached to him. Natalie also didn't have anything fancy, but had a combat knife and 9mm pistol at the ready.
As Rias finished her monologue, the three others walked towards the group. The black hair girls shook the King's hand. "I'm Akeno Himejima, Rias's Queen. Pleasure actually introducing myself." Her smile seemed to hold other intentions, but the King shrugged it off.
Virgillia walked up to Akeno and shook her hand. "Virgillia Wallenstein, Oberon's Queen. It's a pleasure introducing myself as well."
While those two shook hands, the short, white haired girl walked up to the two knights. "Looks like my suspicions were correct. You two are the Knights right?"
"Oh, you're Koneko Toujou, right?" Kotori asked, to which the white haired female nodded.
"Are you a Knight too? I'm guessing that small stature would make you quick."
"I'm a Rook."
"A rook!?" Nobunaga exclaimed. "But you're so small and limited!" This is where Koneko punched Nobunaga, and he went flying into a tree.
"Don't underestimate me, ass." Koneko said in the same tone of voice, seeming as if she didn't care. "I was told to back you two up. Knights may be quick, but they don't necessarily pack the punch to back up that speed."
"Makes sense." Kotori nodded. "And from what I saw from your demonstration, your punch will be much appreciated."
"Just don't punch me again, alright?" Nobunaga said walking back, clutching his stomach.
As those two were talking, a blonde male walked up to Ryo and Ritsuke, bowing respectfully. "I am Kiba Yuuto, Knight to the House of Gremory. I am assuming that you two are the Rooks of House Telos. I apologize if I'm wrong." Ritsuke was somewhat stunned by the Knight's politeness, while Ryo just huffed.
"You're not wrong. We're the Rooks. I'm Ryo Ketsukei." The rather large man commented.
Ritsuke coughed a little, then bowed respectfully as well. "I'm Ritsuke Tensei. It's also nice meeting you."
Kiba nodded. "My King told me to aid you two."
"You think we can't handle ourselves?" Ryo growled, thinking he's challenging his abilities.
"I'm not saying you're weak. Rooks may have the strength to destroy everything in their path, but their slow. I am going to be your speed." Kiba explained, making Ryo huff again.
"Just don't get in our way." The redhead stated.
Meanwhile, back to Akeno and Virgillia, "So you've met our Pawns and Bishops. Your King told you to support the Pawns and Bishops, right?"
Akeno nodded. "I'll make sure no one scratches them."
Then and there, Rias began the ritual. And all of a sudden, an army of Fallen popped out.
"Well well well, seems like you devil scum are more devious than we thought." One of them said. "Well too bad, by the name of Master Kokabiel, we will make sure that this scum stays de-"
Before the fallen can finish the sentence, a gunshot was heard. Natalie was holding her 9mm pistol in her right hand, and a combat knife in her left. "Shut up." She stated seriously.
And thus, the battle began.
A platoon of Fallen Angels charged straight towards Natalie and Sophos, holy weapons drawn, and holy shields blocking the bullets Natalie fires. Thus, Natalie readied her combat knife, and Sophos readied himself. As if by imagination, a sword materialized in his right and a shield in his left, almost illusionary looking. As two fallen swiped at the two, Sophos blocked with his shield and stabbed through the fallen, swiftly killing him. Natalie dodged a cleave, and drove her knife into the skull of that fallen. However, after one was defeated, two took their place.
"Speed!" Blair shouted, and fired at Sophos and Natalie, her guns highlighted in a blue color. Soon, the Pawns were also highlighted in blue, and they felt lighter, quicker, and can see things moving as if they were in slow motion. As if they weren't clearing out armies of fallen now, animal constructs of shadow began latching themselves via mouth to appendage contact, more coming out of Abend's mantle, who was cockily laughing and shouting comments about being the "shadow of the End."
However, even with the support, a few stragglers were making their way to the Bishops. The two were prepared to fight back, but…
"Goetia!"
A black explosion and a lightning bolt from the sky came down, quickly dispatching the fallen. The two looked behind them, seeing their Queen with her book open in front of her, and the other Queen laughing sadistically.
"Hey, Virgillia, wanna 'help out' the others better!?" Akeno smiled evilly, looking down at the fallen battling with the ultimate soldiers.
"Well, I am getting bored back, here, why not?" Virgillia smiled confidently, the book's pages flipping as if by themselves to a new page. "Ginnungagap!"
An even larger explosion and even more lightning came down upon the army, dispatching multitudes of enemies, Akeno laughing like she was having the time of her life, and Virgillia simply smiling. This Akeno is going to be one of her better friends.
Koneko punched yet another fallen in the face, sending it back a quite far, still swiping sakura petals out of the way. These petals were summoned upon by the naginata Kotori was wielding, which was not only being wielded as if she was dancing professionally, but also blinding the angels, allowing her to cut them down easily.
A more powerful angel was facing at Nobunaga, who was cutting down another angel with a katana. "Nobunaga Oda, the Church's Samurai!" The Knight faced the Angel. "I have heard of you, former exorcist, but now you're nothing more than a traitor!" The angel cocked a bow of holy light and fired an arrow at him.
"Juzumaru Tsunetsugu!" The katana flashed briefly, and Nobunaga slashed the air. A shield appeared in front of him, which blocked the arrow. "If you knew me, fallen, then you should've known attacking me directly will get you dumbass of the year! Dojigiri Yatsusuna!" The katana flashed again, and Nobunaga charged forward, faster than normal, and slashed at the angel, who flew into the air, still cut.
"Impressive speed, but you can't cut me from down there!" The Angel smirked, preparing another shot at Nobunaga, who blocked it with another Juzumaru slash.
"Again, your stupidity makes me doubt whether you actually know me." The samurai smirked. "Mikazuki Munachika!" The katana flashed one more time, and when Nobunaga slashed the air, somehow a slash mark appeared on the angel, and large amounts of blood began spilling out.
"W-What!? How was I...defeated..?" The Angel spurted out before falling into the ground.
The Knight scoffed, "Cuz your stupid." He murmured, looking at the Sakura petals flying by him, raising an eyebrow, until…
"GAHG!"
Nobunaga turned around, seeing Kotori impaling a fallen that had a holy dagger right above his back. The female Knight released and let the Angel fall.
"I got your back." Kotori smiled, which Nobunaga nodded.
Oberon's Pawns and Rias's Knight were having similar success. As if with animalistic rage, Ryo began tearing apart angels with his bare hands, also biting off chunks with his teeth. Right after he punched one them, he felt a sharp pain in his gut. Looking down, he saw a holy spear through it. Grunting, he grabbed hold of it, dragging it out and through him, and felt the usual burning sensation. He continued fighting the angels with his animalistic rage, and after a minute he looked down, seeing that the wound that was there was gone now.
Ritsuke came face to face with a particularly cocky fallen angel. "Puny devil, what I wear before you is the Cloak of Pavise, the cloak n=known for being impenetrable even to holy weapons. You can't harm me!"
This made Ritsuke smirk. "We'll see about that. Block this!" She raised her halberd up into the air, then brought it down. Cocky as ever, the angel brought his cloaked arm up. It blocked the attack, but he heard a snap, the tearing of muscles inside, and then the rest of his arm went limp.
"W-what did you do!? That should've been impossible! You're not wielding any holy weapons!" The angel roared in pain.
"Simple, my halberd doesn't attack you physically, it attacks you spiritually!" Ritsuke stated, charging in again, striking at his leg, the cloak blocking the blunt force of the attack, but then going limp. "While your cloak leaves your appendages unharmed, those parts of your soul are being decapitated!"
"You dare harm my brother!" Ritsuke heard something behind her, then saw as another angel was charging at her full speed, going too fast for her to block.
Then the Knight of Gremory came across the angel, cutting him in half. "Don't worry, I have your back."
Ritsuke nodded, walking up to the other angel. "Do you know what they call me?" The thing inside Ritsuke that she so deeply hated began to cloud her vision red, and her smile formed into a psychopathic one, murder coming into her mind. She bent down and whispered into his ear. "They call me the Executioner." The rook then stood up again, raising the halberd, then bringing it down, decapitating the angel's head, laughing all the while.
The battle was being won by the devils, then a booming voice came out, "ENOUGH!" Everyone stopped fighting, and out walked the largest of the fallen angels, an angel so muscular that it made Ryo look small. The eight foot tall, four hundred pound angel then spoke, "WHO IS THE LEADER OF THESE DEVIL SHITS!? I CHALLENGE HIM TO SINGLE COMBAT!"
Oberon looked at Rias, who was still performing the ritual, then he stepped forward. "I would recommend you not call my peerage 'shit,' you oversized muscle."
The Angel smiled, laughing heartily. "I CAN CALL YOUR PEERAGE WHATEVER I WANT, PUNY MAN! I AM SELUCREH, THE STRONGEST FALLEN ANGEL! AND WHO, PRAY TELL ARE YOU!?"
"...My name is Oberon Telos, a King of the House of Telos."
"OH, I HAVE HEARD OF YOUR HOUSE! YOU'RE THE NEW ONE, AREN'T YOU! IT'S TOO BAD YOUR FAMILY IS NOTHING BUT FUCKING LYRE PLAYERS!"
The insult personally attacked Oberon, and he smiled wickedly. A purple magic circle appeared below him, and he began glowing a purple, smoking aura…
...and creepy music began playing.
His own peerage knows what is going to happen when Oberon pulls his magical music out of his metaphorical ass, for one reason or another, they have experienced it at one point, and the effects are still apparent. Selucreh is also experiencing the effect as well, as his heart began to pound louder and faster, and cold sweat began pouring down his forehead, and he felt his breathing go shorter. "H-HUH!?"
"W-What is going on?" Kiba asked, shaking himself due to experiencing this first as well.
"It's my liege's ability." Nobunaga replied. "He can pull music out of his ass, but anyone who hears it piss their pants."
"Not only that, but he goes insane." Virgillia added.
"I don't like it when you insult my family." Oberon spoke menacingly. "And now you are about to get punished." Oberon's wings opened up as the tone shifted, adding even more fear into the fallen angel. "My name is Oberon Telos, and I am the Bard of Fear!"
"Y-YOU THINK SOME M-MUSIC IS GOING TO BEAT ME!? THINK AGAIN!" Selucreh shouted, charging towards Oberon with a balled fist. To which Oberon blocked easily.
"Lurking in the shady streets, hazy." Oberon began singing now, and the fear that Selucreh was amplified, simply staring at the devil, whose eyes are pinprick sized, and a sadistic smile carved into his face, a smile of a psychopathic murderer. "Wandering all on your own, crazy!" Oberon then brought the fist down, bringing his own knee up, a crack sound was heard, and Selucreh screamed in pain, holding his and backing up then kneeling down. "Thought you were the monster here, how sad." Oberon walked up to Selucreh, kneeling to get on his eye level. "Time to learn your place, you're only just a lad!" Oberon stood up and kicked the angel away from him, separating them even more, who was grunting up, then charging again.
"I'LL KILL YOU!"
"Cast a thousand sins and one, have you?" Oberon stood while Selucreh charged in, then when the angel threw his fist towards him, he sidestepped to the left, his eyes still pin pricked and the sadistic smile still on his face. "Common boogeyman you are, it's true." Oberon landed on his feet, charging in himself. "Let's see if you're all just bark!" Oberon then threw a fist into the angel's gut, making him double over. "No bite!" Oberon then threw an uppercut, making Selucreh fall onto his back. "Cowards like you always turn tail and take flight."
"Why the good die and the cruel live?" Oberon began walking to the angel who was struggling to get up. "Injustice I can't forgive!" Oberon then punched him again, putting him back on the floor.
"YOU THINK YOU CAN KILL ME! I'M THE STRON-"
"Don't play god, you're no deity!" Oberon shut him up with a shoe to the face. "Who pray tell will try to stop me?"
The angel got up again, blood running down his face, and began stumbling towards Oberon, only to find him already charging.
"Cut them down and make them holy!" Oberon uppercutted Selucreh, then bicycled kicked him back down. "Injustice I cannot forgive!" The King then slammed down on him. "Bear no arms, I'll rip those from you!" Oberon then grabbed a hold of Selucreh's wings, and began pulling. "As a corpse no more harm you'll do!" Tearing sounds were heard, as Selucreh began screaming in pain. Rias, who had just finished her ritual, stared in horror as her new ally, the next in line to the House of Telos, is a psychotic killer.
Finally, the wings of Selucreh, the strongest fallen angel, was torn off, and Oberon, still pin pricked eyes and psychotic smile, throwing the wings to the side, seeing the angel cry on the floor. He then summoned a magic circle under the angel. "Now say goodbye, feel no shame as you die!" As he said the last word, the magic circle erupted, consuming the fallen angel in a volcanoz.
The music died down, and Oberon's eyes returned to normal, and his smile was lost, and his eyes returned to normal. He turned to the rest of the Angels, then spoke. "You know the deal of single combat. You all lost, now go home, or maybe another song is due."
As soon as they could, the Angels fled into their portals, leaving the Bard of Fear smirking.
Today was a victory in his eyes.
Song used was God Syndrome by Madame Macabre. If you want correct pacing, listen to the Nightcore version.
