Sixth!

After the shambles of a meeting in the clubroom, I resigned myself to the bench in the nearby park. The exact same place that I was forced into becoming a devil. A place which was most definitely fitting to sit as I basked myself in the warmth and divine aura that the Balance Breaker or 'Total Eclipse' that my Sacred Gear has.

I was already at the level to acquire the sword part and so as of today and the emotional change in my mind I could now access the armour portion, the armour being the Total Eclipse but there was still one more portion to the Balance Breaker. The techniques that came with appropriate skill to which I did not possess.

The armour was a balance of black cloth, white leather, styled gold metal and silver plate armour. A long-sleeved black cloth shirt that was fitted with the silver plated chest plate that rest over, the two made only for each other. A single base layer that fitted snugly around the torso, a single plate fitted over the top covering each side with an extra layer, an oval shaped plate fitted over the stomach and locked into place just under the plates that covered my side, silver plate straps looped themselves under and over my shoulders linking with the dual-tiered spaulders that placed themselves over my shoulders arcing upwards and a single curved plate of metal fit itself under my collar, around my neck fitting itself in the gap made for it by the open top buttons of the cloth shirt. At the back of the spaulders, on the underside a curved plate of metal ran along the top of my back and fitted onto the underneath of this plate and the two spaulders were three separate pieces of cloth. The central piece of cloth ran down to just below my waist, the two outside pieces dropped down to just above my knee curving the fabric slightly in a natural bend. The underside of these three pieces of fabric was a cool silver just like the plates of metal themselves as the same gold accenting that also ran over the silver plates detailed the cloth.

Silver plated boots rising up to the knee over a pair of black cloth pants, a diamond shaped plated fitting itself over my kneecap for movement ease at a fast pace. The gold accenting that ran all over the chestplate and cloth cape only ran along the edge of the diamond knee plates leaving the boots a cool, shining silver. The same thing made it's way around my lower arms and elbow. Pure silver plate bracers with an extra fitted plate that ran over my elbows for easy movement, again only the edge of the diamond plates over my elbows had gold accenting. Black gloves on my hands with gold circles around each knuckle. The white leather had formed itself in the shape of two belts that connected themselves to a gold circular piece of metal that was placed over the top of the silver chestplate leaving where my bellybutton would be in the centre of the circle, the two belts fitting around the silver plate tightly creating an 'x' shape. On the back portion were two blue bladed daggers with their handles facing outwards. Connected to the bottom strap of leather was a small silver kite shield with two slots and a bar covering the outside of my left thigh. A small slot had formed on the bottom strap on my right side and 'Second Star' had slotted itself into place, the white ribbon had wrapped itself around the throat of the scabbard in the form of a small bow.

I felt at home in the armour, I felt at home in my body altogether. The armour was now a symbol of releasing what I had pent up properly and in a manner that was safe, I had vented. It was something originally unsaid but truly known as the details were small on it but now it felt different, to be able to blow up about it safely was a huge load off my mind. I feel a sense of serenity, I get the feeling like the malice that was built up exclusively by that feeling had now diminished, the small feeling of animosity I had towards some devils had disappeared. I wasn't a new person but I was now finally back in my original body, something that I had missed greatly with the transferring to Ravel's peerage and destroying the reincarnated blood only being the first two steps.

The armour gave me the feeling I was able to do much more than I could but it had a hold on me which let me know that it wouldn't allow me to push that limit. It encouraged me to the potential danger but had a constant hold on me so I wouldn't be hurt by a reckless matter. It gave a truly complete feeling, like the armour would last and endure any hit no matter the strength or power behind the attack or assault that was unleashed onto me.

Beep Beep

Taking my my phone out, which somehow found it's way into the lone pocket of this armour, I unlocked it to see a message from Rias but redirected from the actual occupant that was Asahi. It would seem that Kiba took no heed to what I had said earlier and he was out in the town, angry and reckless. A tagged on message at the end from Asahi saying that I could handle it as I wished but at least leave Kiba alive, Asahi ending that message with a wink.

Pushing myself off from the bench, Second Star's scabbard clanked against the wooden slabs of the bench before finally being able to just dangle next to my side freely. Releasing my ears, I used my Ki to flush through the area and my senjutsuu to look around. It took a few seconds for me to catch something and when I did catch something, I heard the sound of steel clashing together a few hundred metres away from me in a back alley.

Going straight into a run, I jumped up onto a low wall and started to run along it in the direction towards where the steel was clashing, undoubtedly being Kiba fighting the unnamed rogue exorcist. Though on approach, I saw a blinding light flash so I start to slow down and release Second Star from it's scabbard and take it into my right hand while dropping my left hand down ready to take the shield into hand.

Dropping down from the wall and putting my ears away, I see a distraught Kiba clutching onto an almost eerie black sword. As the silver plates of my boots ring against the ground Kiba turned straight to me, he took in the sight of my armour, a true knight's armour, his eyes screwed up along with his brows. An almost animal-like expression took to his features.

"Gin. Are you going to stand in my way too?"

His voice was strangely hoarse, like he'd been choking or possibly even crying.

"That's been pretty evident from the start. You anger the beehive and I put you down, if possible I stop you before you anger it. Right now, I have that chance to do so."

As I spoke, I slotted my left hand down through the slots in the shield and wrapped my hand around the bar and it automatically freed itself from the leather belt. Bringing the shield straight up as I finished, I felt Kiba's sword clang against the shield and a very weak pulsing vibration hits my fingertips. A soft sizzle comes from the meeting as Kiba's sword tries to eat the Holy aura from the shield, tries being the key point there and it will continue to try and to no avail.

Taking a step forward with my left foot, I shoved Kiba away with the shield and the temperature around us starts to rise as Kiba swaps to two flaming swords. As soon as the heat came it disappeared and I raised my shield straight up into the air purely instinct and the two swords struck the shield and quickly dispersed in the form of steam that arose from the shield.

Growling slightly, I drove the flat face of Second Star into Kiba's side as he dropped down from his failed overhead attack, bringing my sword into his right side in a sweeping motion and fully utilizing the Rook boost to send him crashing into wall threatening to break it completely. Turning to him, I pushed off letting my right arm and Second Star to trail as I brought my left arm and the shield over. Stopping a metre from Kiba, I send all of the resulting momentum into my arm and thrust into him with the shield pushing him straight through the wall and into the tree directly behind it causing the owl that was residing on one of it's branches to scatter away while coo'ing in anger at it's ejection.

Bringing my arms back down to their sides I looked straight at Kiba. An angry, distraught expression was still on his face albeit it was know coupled with a pained expression and a trickle of blood running down the left corner of his mouth. Summoning one of the papers I hadn't got rid of from when I was still Rias' rook, I flushed my magic into it to summon her and the rest of the peerage knowing that they'd all still be in the clubroom at this time. A few seconds later and they came in a large crimson magic circle a few metres from it.

Slotting both my sword and shield into place on either side of my legs I turned to look at Rias and her peerage.

"Here is your Knight along with a broken tree and wall for you to fix. If you don't want to lose him Rias then lock him up, if he angers the beehive and puts this area in danger I will not be so lenient next time."

I was met with complete silence as I looked at the Gremory peerage, the looks of awe was excruciatingly evident on their faces as their eyes took in the light that I was basking in. The silver plates of armour shining in the glow of the moonlight, grabbing all that it could so it could shine magnificently.

"Gin-kun, is that..?"

"No, not really."

I answered quickly and nonchalantly as it really wasn't the Balance Breaker that she was meaning but in truth, from the outside it pretty much was that. In addition to that, it wouldn't count as the Balance Breaker for this as I've only unlocked two thirds of it so far.

Feeling my ears and tail bring themselves out, the tail somehow phasing through the armour, I could sense something approaching fast … no, it was approaching us but on a trajectory to rush past us but where. Turning around I looked up towards the sky and scoured it but there was nothing, not even a streaking sort of light, no indication of anything other than the stars that littered the sky or perhaps … No, Lord knows how skilled you'd have to be to sync up the emission to hit the stars to mask it, can anyone actually do that?

Bringing my eyes down I looked over the surrounding area but there was nothing. The thing I sensed was too thick to have been nothing or even for me to hallucinate it, this is not good … Wait. Someone is on my tail. Turning round I see a … Phoenix? No, that's a … what did Ravel say her familiar was? No, wait again brain, this one is a little darker than Ravel's so it must be Raiser's.

"Oi Raiser, get your god-damn familiar off of my tail."

"~Never mind that, where are you? Ravel is getting worried.~"

Eh? I forgot to give her my phone number and the devil communication doesn't work for me even with the Evil Pieces.

"Ahh yeah, I forgot to give her my phone number. So I don't have to blank you and then go through the hassle of making it looked like I was listening, I was taking care of a problem in the area that could have kicked a dangerous beehive and killed a lot of things here."

"~I see. Get Ravel to call me if you need help, I'm sure one of my Rooks will come to help out. Get them off my back for moaning about wanting to spar with you again.~"

And before I could even retort, the bird-thing disappeared from on top of my tail. It was nice to see that he cared a whole lot.

"I'll turn that thing into a snack next time, been a while since I had a feast."

Ahh well, best return before Ravel gets to the point she'll molest me for returning to late. Hopefully the Yandere vibe I get from her is wrong. God forbid she is actually Yandere, that'd give me the creeps.

Yandere inbound!
Yeah, not sure if i'll make her totally Yandere but hints are a definate.
And of course, Gin won't be completely accurate in explaining what she is as he doesn't fully know Which '..dere' is the right one.

With this story changing a bit with this version, i also chose a new armour scheme as it'll become a sort of primary armour.
This armour will suit as a Knight, so he'll be in a form where he uses his shield, sword and speed along with the other weapons in 'Lunar Gear'
The ice Tsukiyomi armour will feature the more cat-like side along with the ice magic.

The armour itself, not sure if you can see it from how i described it but if you can great, Awesome!
It's a combination of Chrom's and Lucina's concept armour in Fre Emblem Awakening.
It is of their Great Lord outfit though. Mostly Chrom's in design but using Lucina's cape and the circular metal for the belts, the belt's following Lucina's outfit as well but the colour is Chrom's.

Ciao-nya.
