Shadow Mystogan Uchiha: Thank you!
Harambe: Thanks!
PersonaQeminod1: lol, yeah they sure do.
duked: Thank you! And that suggestion really helps, and yes I have thought about Itachi training his strategic thinking with Sona.
Chapter 20: The last Shadow Demon!
The group stared in horror as they saw Asia vanishing in a bright light. "Asia?" Issei questioned.
"Why?" Xenovia questioned with her eyes widen in horror.
"Asia-senpai!" Gasper screamed.
"Why?" Koneko questioned.
"Enough playing around, Diodora Astaroth." A voice from a magic circle said.
"Who is there?!" Rias asked.
"The little sister of the despicable and fake Devil King. I am a true descendant of the Great Devil Beelzebub, Shalba Beelzebub." A man with a black armor with a cape, he has long brown hair that goes down to his hips, with several bangs covering his right eye.
"Beelzebub!" Rias said.
"Shalba! Lend me a hand." Diodora said as he got back up on his feet. "If both the old and current devil kings combine their strength…Huh?" Diodora said when suddenly he had a large hole in his chest.
"Fool." Shalba said as Diodora exploded in a huge light. "Current devil king? Calling the true bloodline old is a mistake in itself."
"You were behind the death of the Glasya-Labolas heir, weren't you?!" Rias asked with her magic power showing.
"Starting to claim oneself a devil king is sheer arrogance." Shalba said.
With Azazel
"I am the true descendant of Asmodeus, Creuserey Asmodeus." A man wearing the clothes of a noble, the clothes were black and had red belts and motifs, he also wears a cape, he has black hair tied into a small ponytail, he also has pointy ears and pale skin.
"So one of the great masterminds finally shows himself." Azazel said.
"As a member of the True Satan Faction, I will avenge Katerea Leviathan." Creuserey said.
"Then shouldn't you try and kill me? After all I was the one who killed that spoiled brat." Michael said exiting a magic circle.
"Weren't you supposed to help Odin?" Azazel asked.
"He said that he could handle it, and that I should help you instead." Michael said. "Now Creuserey, how do you plan on killing me?"
"Easy, using the power received from Ophis, we will destroy this world and create a new world for devils!" Creuserey said.
"Yeah, Katerea tried the same thing, but we all know what happened to her." Michael said.
Back with the orc
Rias let out a huge amount of magic power. "I will never forgive your crime of killing Asia!"
"Little sister of Sirzechs. I will have you die as well." Shalba said making a magic circle when he suddenly got punched in the face by Itachi.
"Asia? Asia? Where did you go? Come on, we're going home. If you hide, we won't be able to go back! You're such a joker, Asia. Hurry up and come out!" Issei said as everyone stared at him with sadness.
"Issei-kun." Kiba said.
"Issei." Rias said.
"I beat up the guys who bullied you. So let's hurry home. Come on, Asia." Issei said as tears came in his eyes. "Asia! Let's go home, Asia. We're doing the three-legged race in the sport festival. We need to practice."
Itachi looked at Issei remembering the moment when he almost lost Rias in their battle against Loki. "Issei." Itachi said looking around seeing everyone shedding tears.
"Unforgivable! Unforgivable! I'll cut you!" Xenovia screamed running towards Shalba taking out durandal and ascalon. "I'll cut you down with my blade!" Xenovia charged as her blades collided with Shalba's magic circle that sent lightning through her body ripping pieces of her clothing of, making her scream in pain.
""Xenovia!"" Itachi and Rias screamed.
"It's useless." Shalba said.
Xenovia crawled towards her swords. "Give Asia back. She's my friend! She was so kind! She was gentler than anyone! Shit!"
"Asia isn't here. We have to find her quickly. She's my…She's our treasured family!" Issei said.
"Truly, the princess of the Gremory household has bad taste. You red filth. I sent that girl far beyond the dimensions. Surely her body has expired by now. In other words, she is dead." Shalba said.
Issei's eyes glowed green in anger.
With Michael
Creuserey released his bat wings, when a red magic circle appeared were Sirzechs exited through the circle. "You damned artificial existence!" Creuserey said.
"I wondered when you would show up." Michael said.
"Creuserey. For the species known as devils to continue their existence, war in the underworld is unnecessary baggage." Sirzechs said.
"A bastard who deals not only with fallen angels, but the angels themselves, has no right to speak as a devil!" Creuserey said.
"I don't want to hear that from an unhappy misfit who joins a happy-go-lucky club like the Khaos Brigade." Azazel said.
"Creuserey, as a Great Devil King, I will eliminate anyone who is against the current underworld." Sirzechs said making a large orb of destruction magic.
"Th-This is?!" Creuserey said as his body slowly got destroyed. "Impossible. Why? Wh-why must the real thing lose against a fake?" Creuserey said as his body was completely annihilated.
"I eliminated the snake that was moving within him as well." Sirzechs said.
"This presence…" Michael said as he, Azazel and Sirzechs looked up seeing Ophis sitting floating in midair.
"Oh? I didn't think you'd come here yourself." Azazel said.
"Azazel. It has been a while." Ophis said.
"Well, we might be in trouble." Michael said.
Back with the orc
Issei walked towards Shalba as his Sacred Gear gauntlet appeared. "Rias Gremory." Ddraig said.
"The Red Dragon Emperor." Rias said.
"If you don't want to die leave this place immediately." Ddraig said.
"Huh?" Rias questioned when Itachi suddenly grabbed her by the waist and went away from Issei. "Hey, Itachi?!"
"Hey, devil. You called yourself Shalba? You made the wrong choice." Ddraig said as Issei exploded in a red aura getting in his balance breaker mode.
"This amount of aura and power!" Kiba said.
"Dangerous." Koneko said.
"Itachi put me down! What is happening to Issei?!" Rias asked.
"He lost it." Itachi said.
"This is…" Shalba said.
Small green orbs began to float around Issei.
"I, who shall awaken…"
"It started."
"Looks like it's going to start."
"…am the Heavenly Dragon who stole the principle of domination from God." Issei's armor grew in size as it began to slowly take the form of a dragon.
"It has always been like this."
"Right you are. It's always been so."
"I laugh at the infinite and fret over the dream."
"What the world desires…"
"What the world rejects…" Issei's armor grew a pair of wings.
"I shall become the Red Dragon of Domination."
"…has always been power."
"…has always been love."
"No matter the times, you always choose the path to ruin!"
"I shall drown you in the depths of crimson purgatory. Juggernaut Drive!" Issei let out a roar.
"Juggernaut Drive, huh?" Itachi said.
Back with Michael
"If we defeat you here, will peace be finally achieved?" Azazel questioned.
"Impossible. You cannot defeat me." Ophis said.
"Though you have immense power, you show no interest in the world." Azazel said.
"So why are you leading a brigade of terrorists now?" Sirzechs questioned.
"A world of silence. I would like to return to the Dimensional Gap that is my home and reclaim that silence. Also, Kai-san has some interest in this world. And I want to help him achieve his dream, like he wants to help me achieve my dream." Ophis said.
"Hm, if I didn't know any better, I would say that you're in love with this Kai." Michael said shocking Azazel and Sirzechs.
"Love?" Ophis tilted her head in confusion.
"But still, The Dimensional Gap, huh? If I remember correctly…" Michael said. "Oh, I see so that's your reason for starting your little club."
Back with the orc
Issei let out a roar of cry for Asia.
"What are we going to do?" Rias asked.
"Let Issei deal with Shalba, once that is done we will help him." Itachi said.
"Are you sure?" Rias asked.
"It will be easy to get Issei to snap out of his rampage, I will simply have to use my sharingan. But dealing with Shalba will be slightly problematic, so we mind as well let Issei use this chance to finish him." Itachi said.
"I guess…" Rias said.
Issei charged swinging his claw at Shalba, who tried to make a magic circle. But Issei bit Shalba's arm off. "Don't joke around!" Shalba said making a magic circle with the symbol of infinity in the middle. "My light of judgment! Try and take it on!" A large magic circle formed below Issei exploding in a wave of light.
Divide!
"What?" Shalba questioned as Issei let out a blue light.
Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide!
The magic circle from Shalba vanished. "Divine Dividing?!" Shalba questioned.
"That power." Koneko said.
"It's the power Issei stole form Vali!" Kiba said.
Shalba threw his cape away. "Just how much do you plan to stand in my way, Vali?!" Shalba sent a wave of magic power at Issei. Issei opened his jaw letting out a wave of red magic power overpowering Shalba with ease.
Issei let out a roar making a huge amount of magic power. "Y-You monster! So this is the Dragon of Domination?" Shalba said when suddenly a magic circle appeared below him freezing him.
"Gasper's time stopping abilities!" Kiba said.
"E-Even my powers?!" Gasper questioned.
Issei let out a roar when the chest plate on his dragon armor opened showing a green jewel.
Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!
"This is bad. If we stay here, we'll also…" Akeno said.
"Buchou! Let's retreat for now!" Kiba said.
"Right." Rias said when suddenly two red spectral hands appeared below them holding them in a defensive matter, it turned into a red spectral giant that got an armor and grew a pair of wings.
Susano'o!
"This is…" Xenovia said.
"Itachi's susano'o." Rias said looking up towards the center of the susano'os head, was Itachi who flew them to safety.
Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!
Longinus Smasher!
Out of the jewel from Issei's chest let out a large green wave that swallowed Shalba. "Damn you! Red Dragon! White Dragon!" Shalba said as he was reduced to nothing.
Issei still shoot out several green magic orbs around him. That just bounced of Itachi's susano'o.
"Are we just going to sit by and watch?" Gasper questioned.
"What should we do? What will make Issei change back?" Xenovia questioned.
"I will deal with it." Itachi said placing the group down as he used the susano'o to fly towards Issei.
"As I thought, the Juggernaut Drive." Vali said exiting through some portal.
"White Dragon Emperor?!" Rias said as Bikou also exited the portal.
"I only came to observe because I felt the change in Hyoudou Issei. Is that Hyouduo Issei? And Uchiha Itachi?" Vali questioned the last part in shock as he saw Itachi's susano'o for the first time, he then looked at Issei. "It looks like he had an incomplete transformation. Which means he will either change back, or use up his life force and die."
"Die?" Rias questioned.
"Either way, his life is in danger." Arthur said exiting through the portal with an unconscious Asia in his arms.
""Asia!""
"We happened to come across her while we were moving through the Dimensional Gap." Arthur said.
"She is very lucky, if we hadn't come across her she would have been exposed to the void of the Dimensional Gap and her body would have dissipated into the nothingness." Bikou said.
Issei charged at Itachi who used the yata mirror to defend himself and then kick Issei down. Issei opened his jaw letting out a wave of green magic power. Itachi's susano'o brought out a sword that he used to slice the beam in half. Itachi then undid the susano'o and jumped up to Issei's face looking Issei in the eye as his Eternal Mangekyou began to spin around.
In Issei's mindscape
Itachi walked around looking for Issei, he looked around seeing nothing but darkness and it felt like he was walking on water. "Where is he?"
"If you're looking for your friend his over there." A man with blond spiky hair with a few bangs covering his forehead, he had pale eyes, he looked to be in his early thirties' or his late twenties'. He was wearing a black open cloak with some red writing on his back saying "Red Dragon".
"Um, who are you?" Itachi asked.
"I'm Menma Haruyoko. I must say it's strange to see anyone else with those eyes, other than Kai and his two younger sisters." Menma said scratching his cheek.
'He resembles fourth hokage Minato, but his hair style is more like the second hokage Tobirama, also those eyes looks like the… byakugan.' Itachi thought.
"I must say your friend has gotten into a lot of trouble." Menma said as he walked in a direction with Itachi following him.
"Why are you here?" Itachi asked.
"As a previous wielder of the Boosted Gear, a part of me still resides within it same goes for the other previous wielders." Menma said. "You're a shinobi, aren't you?"
Itachi nodded in response.
"Good, considering Kai despite having the power of a shinobi has abandoned our ways. So technically doesn't make him one anymore." Menma said.
"Why did he leave the ways of shinobi?" Itachi asked.
Menma gained a sad smile. "At first he supported the same view as I did, but after his sisters died… he changed."
"How did he change exactly?" Itachi asked.
"All I can say is that he meant that achieving peace in this world, was impossible. More I don't know, he used to keep his cards really close to his chest. In other words, wasn't really much of a talker." Menma said.
"According to history books, it is said that you killed him in kuoh town several hundreds of years ago, what exactly happened?" Itachi asked.
"I fought him, I beat him, I thought I killed him, but apparently, I was wrong." Menma said.
"Do you have any advice on how to beat him?" Itachi asked.
"Be careful around him, he tends to be very clever when it comes to battle, also always have an ace up your sleeve." Menma said.
"That really doesn't help that much." Itachi said.
"Well I was only able to beat him because I was able to overpower him. Oh, and when he is really excited he tends to let his guard down for a few second. Other than that, I cannot help you." Menma said.
"I see." Itachi said.
"There's your friend." Menma said looking at Issei who had someone floating around him.
"Raynare." Itachi said seeing the fallen angel floating around Issei.
"She is dead! It was worth it to toy with a boy who's never known a girl. I just looked the least bit troubled, and immediately, you became concerned about me. But the whole thing was just for show, to make you act like that. Would you die for me?" Raynare mocked Issei.
"You'll have to handle the rest." Menma said before vanishing like a ghost.
Issei screamed as images of Asia floated around his mind.
"You couldn't protect her! Not then, and not now!" Raynare said.
"No!" Issei screamed.
"Enough." Itachi said gaining Raynare and Issei's attention.
"It-Itachi-senpai?" Issei questioned.
Raynare flew up to Itachi who didn't seem to flinch. "Do you know who I am?" Raynare asked.
"Yes, fallen angel Raynare. You were sent to kill Hyoudou Issei, which you failed at since he was reincarnated into Rias Gremory's peerage. Later on, you tried to steal Asia Argento's Sacred Gear, which you almost succeeded but you were stopped by Hyoudou Issei who defeated you. And then you were killed by Rias Gremory." Itachi said not seeming to care about Raynare's presence.
"You do not fear me?" Raynare asked.
"Why would I fear something that no longer exists." Itachi said walking past her as she began to let out a purple glow and let out a scream before exploding into black feathers.
Itachi walked up to Issei giving him a slap on the back. "Hey, let's go home. Asia is waiting for you."
"A-Asia, is Asia alright?" Issei questioned with hope.
Itachi nodded making Issei let out tears of joy.
Back in reality
Issei's armor exploded as Itachi grabbed him by the waist holding him over his shoulder before putting him down on the ground.
Issei slowly opened his eyes seeing everyone standing above him. "Everyone. Um… Asia!" Issei said when he saw Asia in Akeno's arms.
"Vali and his allies saved her." Kiba said.
"It was by mere change." Vali said standing behind Issei with Arthur and Bikou.
Issei began to shake Asia. "Asia! Asia!" Asia slowly opened her eyes.
"Huh? Issei-san?" Asia questioned.
"Asia!" Issei said when Xenovia suddenly pushed him away while she hugged Asia while crying.
"Asia! Thank goodness! Asia! Asia! Asia!" Xenovia cried.
"X-Xenovia-san, what's wrong?! I-I can't breathe." Asia said.
"Asia, we're friends!" Xenovia said.
"Yes." Asia said.
"We'll be friends forever!" Xenovia cried.
"Yes." Asia said.
"So don't leave me behind ever again!" Xenovia said.
"Yes. We'll always be friends." Asia said stroking Xenovia's hair.
"Asia!" Xenovia cried.
"Yes." Asia said.
"Hyoudou Issei. Look well." Vali said as both Issei and Itachi walked up to him. "That's what I wanted to see."
They looked up seeing a portal were a large red dragon exited through it, the size of the dragon was so large it covered almost the entire sky.
That is…" Rias said.
"Dragon of Dragon. He is often called DD, the true Red Dragon God Emperor, Great Red." Vali said.
"Great Red. DD." Issei said.
"Tou-san has told me about it, apparently tou-san once challenged him but was ignored." Itachi said.
"He chooses to live in the Dimensional Gap and flies around for all eternity in there. That is Ophis' purpose. And my goal is to defeat him." Vali said.
"Goal?" Issei questioned.
"I want to become the true White Dragon Emperor. The White Dragon God Emperor. Someday, I'll take down the Great Red." Vali said.
"Good luck with that." Michael said entering the scene. "That beast ignores everyone besides Ophis." Michael said.
"Great Red. It has been a while." Ophis said entering the scene.
"Who is that?!" Issei questioned.
"She wasn't here until just now!" Xenovia said.
"That's Ophis, The dragon god of infinity, Ouroborus Dragon." Michael said.
"What did you say?" Rias questioned shocked.
"O-Ophis is…" Gasper said.
"The leader of the Khaos Brigade." Koneko said.
"Someday, I will definitely obtain silence." Ophis said.
"Hyouduo Issei. Do you want to defeat me?" Vali asked.
"Yeah, I do." Issei replied.
"Very well, become stronger. Hyoudou Issei." Vali said as they bumped fists.
Itachi started at Great Red who suddenly averted his attention at Itachi. As Itachi looked at the dragon he could feel him going through his mind, Itachi tried to push him out.
"Heh, interesting." Great Red muttered in a deep voice. "Uchiha Itachi." Everyone widen their eyes in shock as they looked at Itachi.
"He acknowledged him." Michael said 'There is something special about him after all, just like I thought.' Michael thought looking at Itachi.
"Strange." Ophis said looking at Itachi then noticing his sharingan. "Those eyes, just like Kai-san's."
"Well let's go back to our home." Rias said.
"Yes, Rias." Itachi said.
"Oh by the way, Itachi. You were going to say something to me earlier, what was it?" Rias asked thinking back at the moment when just before Asia vanished.
"Oh, it can wait until another time." Itachi said.
"Why not just say it now?" Rias asked.
POKE
Itachi poked Rias's forehead. "Next time."
"Issei-san!" Asia said when Issei suddenly collapsed with his Sacred Gear gauntlet looking like it had become his arm now.
Time skip
"I see. He's still…" Sirzechs said talking with the group through a hologram.
"Yes, he's still in a coma." Azazel said. "His body and demonic power is recovering at a good speed, but… It seems his injuries are pretty bad deep inside."
"A lot happened to him. It looks like we'll just have to wait it out." Kiba said.
"Issei-san went through so much to save me." Asia said with a depressed look on her face.
Xenovia placed her hand on Asia's shoulders. "Asia, it's not your fault."
"That's right. The Khaos Brigade is to blame!" Gasper said.
"Yes." Koneko agreed.
"Oh. That's right, Asia." Azazel said.
"Yes?" Asia questioned.
"You haven't tried it yet, right?" Azazel asked. "I'm talking about the results of your training."
"Huh?" Asia questioned.
They all went into Issei's room. "Because of the incomplete transformation, it seems the dragon inside of Issei is malfunctioning. I was told the fact his left arm is still in dragon form is the proof." Azazel said.
"And who told you that?" Itachi asked.
"Asia's Sacred Gear might be able to solve the problem." Azazel said.
"Might? Will Asia be in danger?" Rias questioned.
"That, I don't know." Azazel said.
"No way!" Rias said.
"It's just a possibility." Azazel said.
"Please, let me try." Asia said.
"Asia…" Rias said.
"Issei-san said he'd protect his family and saved me! That's why I want to save Issei-san as well, Rias onee-sama!" Asia said.
"If it's her choice there isn't much you can do." Itachi said with a smile.
"Yeah I know. Please, Asia." Rias said as the rest of them exited the room.
"Your training was to heal people at a distance. This time it isn't distance, but depth." Azazel said.
"Depth…" Asia said as she activated her Sacred Gear.
"You need to heal the injury deep inside of Issei's heart." Azazel as he followed the other leaving Asia alone with Issei.
"Is it okay to leave Asia-senpai alone?" Gasper asked.
"If she focuses all her energy, it'll become a powerful force. We don't know how it will affect the area around her." Azazel said.
"Are you okay with this, Rias?" Akeno asked.
"I trust my sister Asia. That is also one of my duties." Rias said.
"All we can do is wait." Itachi said.
"I'm heading to my house for a while, come pick me up when we are leaving back home." Michael said as he vanished in a magic circle.
"The magic power from Asia has stopped either their done or somethings happened." Itachi said.
"Itachi, let's go check it out." Rias said.
"Yeah." Itachi replied, they went to the room seeing that some pieces of the door and the walls were destroyed, they looked in and saw Asia kissing Issei.
"Issei-san. I love you. I'll always be by your side." Asia said.
"Ara, ara." Akeno said letting out a chuckle making Issei and Asia turn around seeing the others standing in front of the door.
"Guess you guys are fine then." Itachi said.
"How passionate." Akeno teased.
Asia hid behind Issei in embarrassment. "Um guys this is… um." Issei said.
"Oh, but Asia! I'm really thankful for what you did today!" Issei said.
"Oh, no! There's no need to thank me!" Asia said.
Rias then clapped her hands. "Everyone! Now that Issei has gotten better, let's eat."
""Yes, buchou!""
Meanwhile with Azazel, Graifya and Sirzechs's hologram. "It seems the Old Satan Faction of the Khaos brigade has fallen apart." Sirzechs said.
"Vali didn't think of them as comrades to begin with. Great red. Ophis wants to kick him out of the Dimensional Gap. So their interests lined up." Azazel said.
"Right now, the lines between the worlds are stable because Great Red rules the Dimensional Gap. If something like that were to happen…" Sirzechs said.
"Who knows what would happen to the entire world. We have to stop that from happening at all costs." Azazel said.
"He probably appeared because of Loki's failed attempt to destroy time and space created a small fissure between the worlds… That is what Ajuka believes." Sirzechs said.
"Loki, huh? He's troublesome to the very end." Azazel said.
"Something, Michael-kun said really bothers me though." Sirzechs said.
"Yeah, I know what you mean." Azazel said.
Flashback
"Something is not right." Michael said.
"What do you mean?" Sirzechs asked.
"Even though Loki is dead, I feel that there is still a piece of him out there." Michael said.
"Are you sure?" Azazel asked.
"Yeah, that's Loki's energy I'm feeling. But I have no idea where it comes from." Michael said.
Flashback end.
"I wonder what it is Loki left behind." Azazel said.
"Only time will tell." Sirzechs said.
Time skip: Shadow Demon mansion
The orc was standing outside the main door of the mansion. "And I thought buchou's house was big." Issei said.
"All this for one person." Itachi said.
"Well there used to be more of them, a lot more." Rias said.
Itachi knocked on the door. The door opened revealing James, Michael's family butler. "What business do you have here?" James asked.
"We're here to pick up Michael-senpai." Akeno said.
"Oh, you must be the young master's friends." James said. "Please, come on inn."
"Thank you." Rias said as they entered.
"So how long have you worked here?" Issei asked.
"I've been in service since the young master was in diapers." James replied.
"That must have been quite a sight." Akeno said.
"Quite." James said bringing out his wallet that had two pictures in it. "These are some pictures of the young master when he was an infant." The first picture was of James holding a baby Michael that wore nothing more than a diaper, Michael had a smile on his face as he pulled on James's mustache. The second picture was also of a baby Michael that was lifting a house in order to get his ball back.
"Ara, ara, he was quite an energetic child, wasn't he?" Akeno said with a chuckle.
"Miss, might I ask. What is your relationship to the young master?" James asked.
"I'm his girlfriend." Akeno replied.
"Girlfriend?" James questioned to which Akeno nodded. Tears began to flow from James's eyes. "Oh, master and mistress are you listening the young master has found a girlfriend." James said looking up in the air.
"Ara, ara." Akeno said.
"Please, this way make yourselves at home." James said. "I'll go prepare some tea for the young master's future wife."
"Wife?" Akeno questioned with a small blush. "Um there is no need, where is Michael-senpai anyway?" Akeno asked.
"Oh, the young master is upstairs." James replied.
"Could you take us to him?" Itachi asked.
"Oh must certainly." James said. "This way." James said as he walked up the stairs with the others following him. As they walked down a hallway Akeno spotted a strange looking door.
"Um, excuse me, but what's in there?" Akeno asked.
"Oh, that's the history archive room. Every single thing in every single Shadow Demon's life is recorded in there, the same goes for the young master." James said. "Now I think the young master is somewhere around here." James said as they kept walking while Akeno went into the history archive room without anyone noticing, besides Itachi who simply just ignored it and kept walking with the others.
In the room Akeno saw several crystal balls floating around as well as some sort of keyboard in the center of the room. She went towards the keyboard when suddenly. "What do you think you're doing?" Michael asked standing in the entrance of the door with the others behind him.
"I-I just…" Akeno said.
"Wanted to learn more about me?" Michael asked.
"Um, y-yes." Akeno replied.
"Why?" Michael asked.
"Because, you know all of our pasts and we don't even know yours." Akeno replied.
"What is there to know I lost my family. That's it." Michael said.
"But I want to know how it happened." Akeno said.
"You might as well." Itachi said.
"…Very well then." Michael said going up to the keyboard.
"Viewing history of Michael Shadow." A voice said as one of the crystal balls let out a light showing them a screen.
Flashback
"It's a boy." A doctor said holding a crying baby that he handed over to the mother.
"What will you name him?" Gregory asked standing in a corner.
"We. What will we name him?" His wife said.
"Fine, fine. What will we name this boy?" Gregory asked.
"I like the name Michael, Michael Shadow." She said.
"Michael, huh? Sounds like a good name. Amy, my father will be her shortly" Gregory told his wife Amy.
"Oh, right. His going to want to measure Michael's power." Amy said.
"Where is my grandchild?" A man asked with short black spiky hair, he had red eyes, he was wearing some golden Spartan armor with a black cape that covered his right arm, but his most noticeable feature was that the right side of his lips was torn off showing his teeth.
"Here father." Gregory said pointing at his wife that was holding the crying newborn Michael.
"Good, Gregory take him to the power measure room." The man said.
"You know Vincent, not everything is about power." Amy told the man known as Vincent.
"In this world, all that matters is strength." Vincent said. "Gregory, come."
"Yes father." Gregory replied lifting his son Michael up taking him to the power room.
They entered a room where there was a small pod with a sign to show numbers on the top. "Put him in." Vincent said as Gregory placed his son in the pod, making the numbers go up.
"100, showing no sign of stopping." A doctor said. "500, no sign of stopping. 1000, no sign of stopping. 10000, no sign of stopping. 50000, no sign of stopping." The doctor said as he began to sweat. "80000, it's slowing down a bit. 90000, slowing down. 100000, it…stopped." The doctor said with his eyes widen a look that was shared by Gregory, while Vincent was showing a large grin of satisfaction.
"Doctor, what's the normal number for newborn Shadow Demons?" Vincent asked.
"Um, 500 for low-class, 1000 for middle-class, and 5000 for elite." The doctor replied.
"What about people from the main family like us?" Vincent asked with his grin even bigger since he knew the answer.
"10000, my Lord." The doctor replied.
"Gregory, looks like one good thing came out of your relationship with Amy after all." Vincent said making Gregory clenching his fist.
"…"
"This boy, is our clan's future." Vincent said.
Flashback end
"That's my birth, now on to another event." Michael said typing in something else.
Flashback
Yet again at the hospital, Amy had given birth to a girl. "It's a girl this time." Amy said.
"What should we name her?" Gregory asked.
"How about, Ino Shadow?" Amy said.
"Sounds nice." Gregory said.
The door opened revealing Vincent and a young Michael who looked like he was six years old. "How is the new spawn?" Vincent asked.
"She's fine." Gregory replied.
"Michael-chan, come here and say hi to your new little sister." Amy said making the young Michael walk up to his mother and newborn sister. "Isn't she cute?" Amy asked.
"She's tiny." Michael said poking Ino's cheek.
Amy let out a chuckle. "She is, isn't she?" Amy said.
Michael kept poking Ino's cheek, when her small hands grabbed his finger. Michael looked at his little sister's face, her happy laughing face. Michael looked at in amazement when he gained a smile.
"Enough sentimental stuff, let's take her to the power room." Vincent said.
They placed her in the pod. "100, showing no sign of stopping." The doctor said.
"Gramps, why she in there?" Michael asked pointing at the pod.
"We are measuring her strength." Vincent replied.
"Why?" Michael asked.
"To see she will be useful to our clan." Vincent replied.
"Was I in that thing too when I was born?" Michael asked.
"Yes, you had the highest know strength level for a newborn Shadow Demon. A level of 100000." Vincent said with a grin.
"Um, 7000 slowing down." The doctor said.
"What?" Vincent questioned.
"It stopped, 9000." The doctor said.
"What?!" Vincent said in anger. "The average from a member of the main family is 10000 and your she's below that?!"
"Um, yes sir." The doctor replied.
"Tch, what a wasteful weakling!" Vincent said exiting the room with Gregory and the doctor following him.
Michael opened the pod looking down on his little sister. "So, I'm your big brother, and gramps may think your weak. And apparently, I'm strong, so I guess big brother will just have to protect you then, right?" Michael said as Ino stretched her arms out while laughing in response. "Right. Onii-san will always protect you." Michael said lifting her up.

It had been a few thousand years and Vincent had been killed in combat, leaving Gregory in charge of the Shadow Demon clan. "Onii-san, where are you going?" Ino asked looking like she was now around the age of 10.
"I'm going to the human world." Michael replied now looking like he was 16.
"Why?" Ino asked.
"I want to see what it's like, I've already been everywhere in the underworld." Michael replied.
"Onii-san, are you going to be there long?" Ino asked.
"I don't know, maybe." Michael said.
Ino then grabbed onto her brother's jacket. "Come back, quickly."
"I'll try." Michael said petting Ino's head.
Human world: London year 1780
Michael walked around town seeing that it wasn't quite different from the underworld with the exception of the color of the sky. He then turned his attention towards a pub. 'Well why not, when your over 9000 years old I guess it's fine to grab a drink.' Michael thought. He entered the pub and took a seat. "What would you like?" A woman asked.
Michael looked at he, she had long brown hair, blue eyes, and she looked like a slightly older version of Akeno. "Anything with alcohol will be fine." Michael replied.
"Coming right up." She said.
Michael sat there and looked around at the people who were mostly so drunk that they were red in their faces. 'Humans can't seem to hold their liquor very well.' Michael thought.
"Here you go." The woman said.
"Thanks, um miss…" Michael said
"Charlotte."
"Oh, well thanks miss Charlotte." Michael said.
"You seem like you're not from around here." Charlotte said.
"I'm Michael, and I'm from further up north." Michael said.
"Oh, well are you here on business?" Charlotte asked.
"Um, yeah." Michael replied.
"Well not a lot of cuties like you come by here often." Charlotte teased and let out a small chuckle.
"C-Cuties?" Michael questioned with a small blush.
"Well, I got to go. Can't let people think you are my favorite, by the way you are." Charlotte whispered the last part in Michael's ears. "I hope to see you again."
"W-Well, I was planning on staying in town for a few weeks." Michael said.
"Oh really, then please come by any time." Charlotte said in a cheerful tone.
'Strange girl.' Michael thought before finishing his drink and walking out.
A few days had past and Michael had come by the pub everyday meeting Charlotte but one thing happened on this day. Michael was sitting in his usual spot looking around for Charlotte who was nowhere to be found. After waiting for a short while he went out when he heard. "No! Leave me alone!" He heard Charlotte's voice in the ally of the pub, he followed the source seeing Charlotte surrounded by ten men that had creepy grins on their faces.
"Oh, be quiet! No how about we take this body to good use." One of the men said.
"Leave her alone!" Michael said looking at them with a dark look.
"Who's the kid?" One of the men asked.
"Hey, how about you just leave and pretend you saw nothing." Another one said.
"I said leave her alone." Michael said with killing intent.
"Looks like he wants a beating, let's get him boys!" The leader of the gang said as they all charged at Michael.
Michael grabbed the arm of one of them breaking it. "AAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!" The man cried in pain.
"Why you little!" One of them said before he was elbowed in the gut by Michael knocking him out. Michael looked to his sides seeing two charging at him, on from the right, one from the left. Michael jumped up kicking both of them in the face knocking them down.
Then another one charged at Michael, Michael went to the side grabbing the man by the arm throwing him into another guy, despite Michael trying to hold back they were both sent through a wall.
Another guy came running towards Michael, Michael extended his arm with his middle finger and index finger stretched out. When the man got, close Michael gathered his hand into a fist that punched upwards in the man's gut making him cough up salvia and blood. The man then fell down clenching his arm over his gut in pain.
The three remaining were shaking a little, before one of them took out a knife and charged at Michael. Michael grabbed the man's wrist dragging him in when he kneed the man in the gut, knocking him out.
Michael then grabbed the knife throwing it into the arm of the guy standing next to the leader. "AAAAAGGGGHHHHHHH!" The man screamed.
Michael at a very high speed rushed up to the man giving him a kick to the face knocking him out. Michael then grabbed the leader by the collar. "W-What are you?" The man questioned shaking in fear, as Michael took him in a neck hold making the leader look at a piece of glass.
In that piece of glass, he didn't see Michael holding him but shadowed cloaked beast with black horns and blood red glowing eyes. "Something you don't want to mess with." Michael said before the man screamed in horror and ran away.
Michael then went to Charlotte lifting her up bridal style. "Mister Michael, that was amazing. How did you do that?" She asked.
"Well, I know how to fight." Michael replied.
"Thank you." She said before giving Michael a kiss.
"W-What was that about?!" Michael questioned with a blush.
"A little thanks to my knight in shining armor." Charlotte said with a chuckle.
Sometime went by and Michael and Charlotte ended up becoming a couple, however the time came from when Michael had to go back home. Michael had teleported back to the underworld, he walked up to his family mansion where he was meet by his father. "Oh, hello father." Michael said.
"I know what you have done." Gregory said.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Michael said.
"I know about the human girl." Gregory said.
"Okay, so I got a girlfriend I don't see why you're making a big deal about it." Michael said.
"Surly you are aware of that humans don't exactly live forever." Gregory said.
"I-I know." Michael said.
"And your still young and you will be for a few more hundreds of years, while she will soon die of old age anyway." Gregory said.
"She is still young." Michael argued.
"Then she has a few decades left." Gregory said.
"So what?" Michael questioned.
"You must end your relationship with her." Gregory said.
"What?! Why?!" Michael asked.
"If you continue being in a relationship with her, she will eventually keep ageing while you will look the same, and your feelings will have grown so much that when she dies you'll feel awful." Gregory replied.
"I will find a way to keep her young!" Michael said.
"That is your love talking you're not thinking straight." Gregory said. "I'm doing this for your sake."
"There must be a way." Michael said.
"I'm sorry son, but it's the only way." Gregory said.
A few years past, Michael had visited Charlotte from the shadows keeping an eye on her. He saw her life go on, how she waited for him to come back, how she eventually after some time moved on starting a family. Eventually Charlotte had grown into an old woman, and was close to her death bed.
"Where are you going?" Gregory asked.
"To see Charlotte before she dies, she deserves to know why I let her down." Michael said.
"That's not a good idea, but I guess I can't stop you." Gregory said as Michael vanished in a magic circle.
London 1850
Charlotte was laid on the bed about to draw her last breath. "W-Who's there?" She asked weakly when she felt someone grab a hold of her hand. She opened her eyes to see a crying man that looked so familiar. "M-Michael?"
"Charlotte, I-I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Michael cried.
"It is you… how come you look so young?" Charlotte asked.
Michael brought out his wings. "I-I'm a devil… I'm sorry."
"Oh, you're a devil, I see so that's why you left." Charlotte said with a smile.
"I-I'm sorry please forgive me. I didn't mean to deceive you, I really loved you, I watched you from the shadows keeping you safe." Michael cried.
"Why are you apologizing, I know you loved me, and I loved you. Promise me one thing…" Charlotte said.
"What?" Michael asked.
"Find your own happiness, find your new love, live your life." Charlotte said.
"There is no girl out there like you, no one can replace you." Michael said.
"You just have to look, she is out there. I know you will find your true love. Even though she might not exist yet someday you will find her." Charlotte said.
"I-I promise…" Michael said.
"This means that heaven is real, right?" Charlotte asked.
"Yes, it is." Michael replied.
"Michael."
"Yes?"
"Thank you, for the memories…" Charlotte said before drawing her last breath, and let death embrace her.
"Thank you, Charlotte, for everything." Michael said before vanishing in a magic circle.
Flashback end
Everyone was looking at Michael with a sad look. "I-I never thought that a relationship like that existed." Issei said.
"I'm sorry, Michael." Akeno said.
Michael grabbed Akeno's hand. "She was at least right about that I would find love." Michael said. "Anyway, after this I had all those relationships with most of the woman from that little black book. And after that my father and his army killed the other four of the five great clans, and eventually I had that fight with my father, then… I lost my family and clan." Michael then typed something in. "Gregory Shadow's final moment."
Flashback
A wounded Gregory was standing on a balcony with his clothes slightly tattered. "I will… I will not let everyone die!" Gregory said before launching himself into the air as he approached an army of devils, vampires, monsters. "Come on you cowards!" Gregory said charging in pushing himself through.
He punched a vampire in the face, then blasting him with a dark purple wave. One devil grabbed him from behind, Gregory threw him off with ease then blasting a monster with a dark purple wave. He then pushed himself forward killing every single devil, vampire, monster that got in his way. He kept flying towards one spot when suddenly a large gang of them grabbed a hold of him. Gregory gritted his teeth in anger as he kept flying at high speed shaking a few of them off. He then broke free from the groups hold, then he stretched out his arms and legs. "HHHHHIIIIIYYYYAAAAHHHHHHH!" Gregory shouted shooting a dark purple orb in every direction killing several guards.
"Stop him!" One devil shouted.
"His insane!" A vampire shouted.
Images of Michael, Ino, Amy flashed through his mind. "SATAN!" Gregory shouted as he looked at a red skinned humanoid looking beast with black horns, yellow glowing eyes, he was only wearing some black pants, and he had a very muscular body, he also had a trident spear tied on his back with the spikes being red and the staff black. He was sitting on a floating throne made out of bones. "I will not let you get away with this!" Gregory shouted now floating from a short distance from Satan. "Your reign of terror comes to an end right now!" Gregory said gathering his palms together gathering energy into an orb. "This is for everyone we ever killed in your name! Your rule over us ends now! This is where it ends!"
Shadow planet destroyer!
Gregory shoot out a large dark purple wave. Satan sat there unfazed by the attack. The wave collided with Satan making a huge explosion, Gregory looked at it with a grin on his face but then the smoke cleared.
Satan sat there with no injury what so ever, he then extended his palm gathering a blood red orb. When suddenly Satan let out a maniacal laugh as he fired a large red wave at Gregory.
"AAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!" Gregory shouted as the wave consumed him. Gregory's clothes got torn of as his body slowly got ripped apart and reduced to ashes. "My…. son…. lives…. on…." Gregory said with a small grin as he was reduced to nothing.
"Heh, what a fool." Satan said as his eyes were set on the Shadow Demon mansion that had a whole village around it. "The Shadow Demon village."
Flashback end
"That's how my father died." Michael said.
"What about everyone else?" Issei asked.
"After my father died, he took what was left of his army, and went from house to house killing everyone." Michael replied. "And since I was not home when this happened, I arrived to see the end…"
Flashback
Michael entered the village heading up the road to the mansion. "Guess I should apologize to father." Michael said when he suddenly saw several buildings were destroyed, bodies under some rubble and dead bodies all over the street. "Wh-What happened? Dad? Mom? Ino?" Michael questioned then he ran towards the mansion. "Dad! Mom! Ino!" Michael brought out his wings and at a high speed flew towards the mansion.
Michael landed and ran up to the main door. When he opened it he saw his mother getting stabbed by a trident spear. Michael had his eyes widen in shock he then saw his little sister crying in front of him, Michael went in front of his little sister staring at the culprit in anger.
"Well hello Michael, so glad you could join us." Satan said with an evil grin.
"You! You bastard!" Michael charged at him with his fist covered in black lightning. Satan just caught the fist with no difficulty giving it a squeeze breaking it. "AAAAARRRRGGHHH!"
"Look kid, I like you. So I'm going to give you a choice. Either both you and your sister die here today, or…." Satan said turning his look over to Ino. "You kill her and get to live."
Michael widen his eyes in anger. "Onii-san…" Ino said.
"Fuck you! I will never make that choice!" Michael said with his hand covered in lightning at the shape of a blade.
Shadow lightning blade!
Michael charged at Satan when suddenly. Red blood squirted out on the floor, Michael's hand was covered in blood. Michael looked in front of him as a tear ran down from his eyes. "…Ino…" Michael muttered as he saw that his hand had pierced through his sisters gut.
Ino jumped in front of Satan taking the hit from her brother. Ino looked at Michael with a weak smile as blood ran down from her mouth. Ino fell forward with her chin now on her brother's shoulder she whispered her final words. "Onii-san… please live." Ino whispered before she fell on the floor dead.
"Well that was unexpected." Satan said a little shocked. He then bent down to Michael's eye level. "You want to know something funny… I would have spared both of you, I just wanted to see how far you were willing to go to survive." Satan said before leaving.
Michael just sat there with his knees in his sister's blood and her dead body in front of her. He brought his hand slowly in front of his face seeing it shake with his sister's blood on it. "AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!" Michael screamed.
Flashback end
Everyone was shocked beyond words. Michael stood there now with tears running down his eyes at the memories. Akeno hugged him while crying herself.
'His story, is similar to Sasuke in a few ways but different in so many.' Itachi thought as he hugged Rias who was crying a little herself. "Satan died after that, didn't he?" Itachi asked.
"A few weeks later, yeah. In the middle of the war. He was fighting very close to the center of the earth. He fell in to the core and died." Michael replied.
"Why was he fighting so close to the core?" Issei asked.
"It was the best way for us devils to win the war. Gods get power from people, the more people have faith in them, the more power they get and they live longer. So Satan thought if there were no humans left to give faith…" Michael said.
"The Gods would eventually die, making it easier for the devils to win the war." Itachi finished. "How did the core manage to kill him?"
"Planet earth was created by a God, that core contains a huge amount of light magic. And light is as you like poison to us devils, and with that kind of amount… it just killed him." Michael said. "Later on they couldn't find a devil that could match Satan's power so they created the four maous, Lucifer, Beelzebub, Leviathan, Asmodeus. And then the first ones died at the end of the war, then Sirzechs and the other took over." Michael said.
"I see." Itachi said.
"Now you all know my past." Michael said with a sad smile then he saw that they all had tears in their eyes, besides Itachi who only had a sad expression on his face.
""Michael-senpai!"" Everyone besides Itachi yelled as they tackled Michael.
"Hey! Guys let go!" Michael said then he looked at them all and gained a smile. "Hey guys. Get of me and let's go home." Michael said making them look up at him and gain a smile.
""Yes!"" They replied.
"Let me help you up." Itachi said with his hand extended to which Michael grabbed.
"One more thing, about the Rating Game tournament… Make sure you all win… After all you guys are the ones that I want to fight." Michael said with a grin.
"When that happens, we will not lose." Rias said.
"Heh, interesting." Michael said.
Time skip: Human world back home
"We're finally back home! But, to think I slept for three days… I feel bad that everyone missed school because of me." Issei said.
"I told the school we were overseas for a practice match, so I'll just say we couldn't return due to the weather." Rias said.
"That sounds like a forceful excuse." Itachi commented.
"Before that, what kind of occult club has practice matches?" Irina questioned.
"Putting school aside…" Xenovia said looking behind the couch to see a crying Rossweisse.
"So mean. Odin-sama is so mean. I thought he came to pick me up, but then he suddenly sent me out to battle. Even though I worked so hard! He left me behind again!" Rossweisse cried.
"There were a lot of things to deal with after that, so… I'm sure he'll come to pick you up again." Irina said.
"No! if I, his bodyguard, goes home after our great Father returns… They'll yell, "What kind of nerve do you have returning after Odin-sama?" And I'll probably get demoted! This is corporate downsizing! I was laid off! I'm just a woman eho can't do her job!" Rossweisse cried.
"I felt bad leaving her behind in the underworld, so I took her back with us…" Rias said.
"Why do I get the feeling he left her behind so that he could do whatever he wants." Itachi said.
"A virgin! My age equals the number of years I've been alone!" Rossweisse cried.
"If that's the case, I have an idea." Rias said.
"An idea?" Issei questioned.
"You can't be possibly thinking about…" Itachi said.
"It's a secret." Rias replied in a cute way.
"I don't like the sound of that." Itachi said.
Time skip: Kuoh academy track field
""One-two! One-two! One-two! One-two! One-two!"" Issei and Asia said preapering for the three-legged race.
"All right, we look pretty good! Let's take a short break." Issei said.
"Y-Yes." Asia said.
"Their back to practice." Xenovia said.
"Their taking a lot of breaks dough." Itachi said.
"Hey!" Azazel said taking Issei with him somewhere.
"What do you think they are going to talk about?" Xenovia asked.
"Probably about the Juggernaut Drive." Itachi replied.
"You sure?" Xenovia asked.
"That or either something perverted." Itachi replied.
Meanwhile in the old-school building, Gasper stood behind the door to his room waiting for Koneko. "It's almost time for Koneko-chan to come. Ugh. Oh! Itachi-senpai!" Gasper said as he suddenly saw Itachi walk by. Itachi stopped and turned to Gasper with his sharingan activated.
Rias sat in the clubroom with some documents. "Oh, Rias!" Itachi said as he entered the room.
"Oh, Itachi? I thought you were watching Xenovia and the others practicing." Rias said.
"I was, then I realized I would rather be here with you." Itachi said.
"Huh?" Rias questioned.
"After all your I'm worried about you, you've had a sad expression on you almost all day." Itachi said.
"Thank you, for worrying about me. But I'm fine." Rias said.
"I usually don't do things like this, but…" Itachi said placing his hand on Rias's shoulders.
"Huh?!" Rias questioned when she suddenly noticed that Itachi's sharingan was activated.
"I know. I know that you work really hard." Itachi said as he grabbed Rias's chin. "That's one of the things I like about you." Itachi said with a devilish smirk.
"I-Itachi." Rias said with a small blush.
"But you don't need to worry, or think about anything. After all I'm here for you." Itachi said.
Meanwhile back on the track field.
"Where are, you going?" Xenovia asked.
"I just left something back at the club room, I'll be back soon." Itachi said walking towards the club, when he saw Koneko on the way. "Koneko!" Itachi said.
"Itachi-senpai." Koneko said with a smile. "I came to pick up Gaspie so he can practice the bread eating race." Koneko said as they walked in the building.
"I never thought Gasper was going to do something like a race." Itachi said when he noticed an unconscious Gasper. "Gasper!"
"Gaspie!" Koneko said as they rushed to Gasper's side.
"Gasper, what happened?" Itachi asked.
"Itachi-senpai. Oh, thank goodness. The real one." Gasper said.
"Real one?" Itachi questioned.
"Itachi-senpai!" Koneko said looking towards the clubroom.
"Rias." Itachi rushed towards the door, when he opened it he saw himself with a devilish evil smirk, with his sharingan activated. He was holding Rias in her arms who also had a smirk on her face. "What's going on?" Itachi questioned activating his sharingan.
Rias made a magic circle sending a wave of power towards Itachi pushing him slightly back.
"Rias?" Itachi questioned when his sharingan noticed that it was like she was in a genjutsu. "I see."
The fake Itachi lifted his arm up releasing a wave of fire blowing up the clubroom. Making everyone in the area look in the direction were violent flames had erupted. The flames vanished when Itachi devoured them, with both Koneko and Gasper behind him but no sign of Rias or the fake Itachi. "Loki." Itachi cursed.
They went outside meeting up with Akeno, Michael and Sona. Koneko and Gasper went over to the others with Sona and Akeno.
"What happened?" Michael asked.
"A fake version of me took Rias." Itachi said.
"A fake?" Michael questioned.
"Apparently, it's Loki's doing." Azazel said with Rossweisse next to him.
"How, I killed him." Itachi said.
"Let's talk about this back home." Azazel said.
Time skip
"A fake Itachi?" Xenovia questioned.
"It's true. I saw him as well." Gasper said.
"He practically had the same aura as Itachi-senpai, too." Koneko said.
"Same?" Kiba questioned.
"If the real Itachi-senpai wasn't in front of me, I probably wouldn't have noticed the difference." Koneko said.
"Are you sure that Loki is behind this?" Akeno asked.
"Apparently, moments before Loki's death, he managed to curse Itachi and Rias." Azazel said.
"How cowardly!" Xenovia said.
"This is a lot more effective than just defeating an enemy. I suffered a long time myself." Kiba said.
"So since he couldn't make Ragnarok himself, he left a curse behind in order to do it for him." Michael said.
"Where is Itachi-senpai?" Xenovia asked.
"His talking with Rossweisse." Azazel said.
Meanwhile in the balcony. "A curse, huh?" Itachi said.
"Yes. It seems that before he died he cursed both you and Rias-san." Rossweisse said.
"And what does this curse do?" Itachi asked.
"It attacks and eat away at a person's heart. Somewhere deep within your heart… Perhaps something you didn't realize yourself. Loki used those feelings against you. can you think of something?" Rossweisse asked.
"Fear." Itachi replied.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Rosswiesse questioned.
"Fear of getting to close to someone, in case I end up losing them like I lost everyone in my clan, like I lost Izumi. And I can probably guess what's bothering Rias." Itachi said. 'Her love for me, she's probably bothered thinking if I will, or feel the same for her.' Itachi thought clenching his fist.
Itachi and Rossweisse went back in to the others. "Are you okay, Sirzechs?" Azazel asked a hologram of Sirzechs, and there was also a hologram of Ajuka.
"I am the devil king Lucifer before all else. I will do what I must as a devil king." Sirzechs said.
"You're forcing yourself." Azazel said. "If only we could find out Rias' location. Too bad we can't ask Loki since his dead."
"It seems she is in the Dimensional Gap." Sirzechs said gaining Itachi's attention.
"Dimensional Gap?" Issei questioned.
"The place Asia was sent to?" Akeno questioned.
"I have searched various ways and it's the only place possible." Ajuka said.
"Then, we'll be able to save buchou if we go there?" Xenovia asked.
"There is no way to search the Dimensional Gap systematically. If Vali didn't happen to pass by at the right moment, we would have never found Asia either. In other words, entering the Dimensional Gap means death." Azazel said.
"Then, how can those people enter it?" Akeno asked.
"Khaos Brigade is a gathering of various people. I'm sure they are using a method we don't know." Azazel replied.
"This is a guess, but I believe it is possible by locking the existence of this world and using it as a base." Ajuka said.
"Koneko." Itachi said.
"Yes?" Koneko questioned.
"Contact, your sister for me." Itachi said.
"Kuroka onee-sama?" Koneko questioned.
"If they can get in the Dimensional Gap, we could use their help." Itachi said then he turned to Akeno." Akeno. Could you let me eat some of your lightning?" Itachi asked.
"What for?" Akeno asked.
"If that fake version of me has all my powers, I'm going to need an advantage. So please." Itachi said.
"All right." Akeno focused her magic power into a lightning thunder orb. "Here."
Itachi took the orb and began absorbing it. Itachi let out an aura of flames that had lightning and thunder flickering around it as he grew a pair of fallen angel wings, then he deactivated it returning to his normal state. "I'll bring Rias back, no matter what comes in my way." Itachi said with his sharingan spinning around wildly.
That's where I will end I for now!
Not much to say other then, what did you guys think about my OC's past? Also how did you think the chapter went?
This is the first time I have written this much in one chapter, my average number of words goes from 6k-8k so I wouldn't expect the next chapter to be just as long as this one.
As always leave a review! (Helps my motivation a little)
-Later!
