Here's chapter 2. I'm getting some good reviews for this story. So good, that my ego might explode from them. Thank you to everyone following and reviewing my story.
I've worked up a bit of a buffer, so I'm releasing a chapter every Saturday until I finish season 1. I might be on hiatus until season 2 is released in English, so fair warning.
Once again. I don't own, I'm not making money, all rights belong to their owners.
Now onto the story.
Chapter 2: Deals with Devils
(**/*\**)
"Bri, we need to talk." Murayama stood in front of Ben's desk. Her tone made it clear she was the last person he wanted to see this morning.
Ok. Third-to-last person.
"What is it?" Ben nearly moaned. He was so worried about Issei that he had trouble sleeping.
"We've noticed that you've been hanging around with Issei a lot yesterday. I just want you to know that if he's blackmailing you in any way, you can always tell the Kendo Club and we'll kick his sorry ass."
"Wha? No. No, no, no. He's not blackmailing me. He just asked me if I could help him find his girlfriend." This actually set off every girl in class.
"Ha. Please. Everyone knows that Issei will never get a girlfriend. He was obviously playing you to try and get into your panties."
Ben felt annoyed by the comments. Yeah, the guy was probably a pervert and had probably spied on every girl here. But that didn't mean they could laugh at him. "I'll have you know he didn't even try. And he's actually a nice guy once you get past the perversion."
"Bri and Issei, sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G." A couple of girls actually went there. Honestly.
"We are not dating!"
"You're not dating who?" Just his luck, Issei walked in at that moment.
"Is it true that you and Bri are dating?" Murayama looked like she had just asked if they eat poo.
"Oh God no." Issei said, before seemingly realising that Ben might not take that well. "I mean, sure she's beautiful and sexy as hell. But she'd probably kick my ass to the moon if I tried anything. Last night a mugger tried to rob us and Bri pounded him into paste and scared him off. Bastard was lucky to escape alive."
Ben nodded. "I'm glad you're feeling better today. That guy gave you a bit of a thrashing." Everyone left for their seats, content that Issei wasn't blackmailing Bri. Now they'll probably gossip about them dating. "So. Did Rias really heal you?"
"Yeah. I feel better than ever. And of course we had to be naked for the healing to work." He actually started drooling and groping the air. "Oh man. Her tits were awesome. And I even got to see her pussy. I'm in Heaven right now." Ben punched him in the shoulder and brought that fantasy crashing down.
"You pig Issei. You're so obviously lying."
"Actually I am telling the truth. You can ask Rias herself. Anyway, why did those girls think we're dating?"
Ben sighed. "Because of how big a pervert you are, they think it's impossible for a girl to just hang out with you without being blackmailed. I mentioned that you weren't and that you were a nice guy and they thought that I love you. And before you ask, I'd…I'd like us to just be friends."
"That's ok. To be honest, Yuuma kinda killed my interest in dating, pun not intended." Issei looked so down that Ben had to try and cheer him up.
"You're not the only one who got hurt by someone you love." Ben said as he placed a hand on his shoulder. "When I was 10, I fell in love with a… guy named Kai. He was handsome, strong. Love at first sight. We got on well. That night, a werewolf started attacking the town. I helped to fight, cause I had this back then."
"You had that since you were ten?" Issei couldn't believe it. To have been able to do all that at such a young age. Bri was a real superheroine.
Ben nodded. "Anyway, it sampled some of the werewolf's DNA, but it transformed me at a slow pace."
"Making it seem like you were turning into a werewolf."
"Right. During that time, Kai spent even more time with me. We found out later that I could turn back into normal, and it turned out that Kai wanted to 'tame and train' me, like some dog."
"That is rough. A guy like that doesn't deserve you."
"Yeah, well. I got over it. And I bet there's a girl perfect for you. Probably as perverted as you are."
Issei laughed. "Yeah. And with a smoking hot body, the powers of a god and can protect me from evildoers." They both blushed in embarrassment when they realised Issei had pretty much described Bri.
"God this is complicated". Ben thought to himself.
(**/*\**)
"So you really managed to hold off a Fallen Angel by yourself?" Ben was being quizzed by the school's 'hunk' Yuuto Kiba, who apparently worked for Rias. According to Issei, Rias was a Devil and was his master. Probably because she brought him back to life. He still wasn't sure if she had really been naked, but Issei seemed excited enough. "I have to admit, that is certainly amazing."
"Yeah, we know." Issei grumbled. "All I did was get a spear to the stomach." He brightened up as he remembered this morning. "And got to see Rias' boobs."
"Lucky you." Ben said. "My first time involved creating a forest fire, taking out some robot drones, saving campers from a bigger robot, and finally rushing back home to give some bullies a wedgie." They finally entered the main room of the building they were in. Inside was the small girl from last night, eating some cake. She stopped eating when they entered the room, and seemed to pale when she spotted Ben.
"Koneko Toujou is a first-year and a valued member of the Occult Research Club." Ben looked over at Issei to see that, as expected, he was drooling away. Not too sure why. The guy seemed nuts about big breasts. They were all distracted by the sound of a shower. Issei's eyes were nearly falling out of their sockets he was staring so hard. And as much as he hated to admit, Ben felt a little flustered. Despite his new appearance he was still a straight guy. He enjoyed a beautiful girl as much as the next guy.
"Well, maybe not that much." He remembered who exactly the next guy was.
"Your clothes are laid out Miss President." Another girl's voice came from behind the shower." Issei was shouting how he loved this club when Koneko interrupted him. "It's not polite to spy."
"Who is that?" The first voice asked. Ben and Issei turned again to see the dark-haired girl with the lightning standing by the window. "I didn't see you." As she walked closer Ben could almost hear the saxophone playing like in those 'movies' of Kevin's. "It's ok. I won't bite. You're the new members, right? It's nice to meet you." She bowed before looking at Koneko. "Aren't you going to say hi?"
"You scare me." She said, looking at Ben.
"Oh don't mind her. Everyone else here is super nice. I'm Akeno. I'm the Vice-President."
"Right." Issei said. "I'm Issei Hyoudo. And this is…"
"Bri Tennyson." Akeno interrupted. "Yes we know about her. You certainly handled yourself well last night."
"Thanks." Ben said. "I've had practice."
"Yes, we're very curious about your powers." Rias said as she came out of the shower. Thankfully for them, she was fully dressed. She had Koneko use some magic to show some scenes. Ben got very pale. They were all from the other night. When he had killed the creep and brought him back to life. When he used Lodestar's power to stop the robbers. When he went Upgrade to scare off the carjackers. And when he used Fourarm's power to fight the delinquents.
"Holy shit! You can do all that?" Issei shouted. Ben sighed. He might as well explain everything to them. He was working alongside them if he wanted to go home.
Well, maybe not everything.
"I'll explain, after you tell us what's going on. I'm tired of running around with only bit and pieces to go on. And I'll bet Issei's tired of getting stabbed all the time."
Rias smiled. "Very well then. Since you asked I'll be frank with you. I am a Devil. As in the beings of Hell itself. And the gentleman from last night was a Fallen Angel. Something entirely different from Devils."
Ben nodded. "Right. So Devils are from a Dimension everyone calls Hell. While Fallen Angels are a completely different species that came from a different Dimension that we call Heaven. The Fallen Angels did something worth banishment, and they set up shop in Hell. How close am I?"
Rias seemed shocked. "Well, apart from the Fallen setting up shop, you're pretty much spot on. Did you already know?"
"Nah. I'm just used to aliens from another dimension."
"Aliens?" Issei scoffed. "Like little grey men? C'mon Bri. Everyone knows that those things aren't real." Ben merely smiled before tapping the Omnitrix. Though he still went through the motions of using it, he had at least moved onto thinking about which alien he wanted. In an instant, Ben shrank down to the size of a small mouse. Everyone could only watch in amazement as Ben hopped and climbed up Issei until he reached his shoulder. They could see that Bri had turned into… a little grey woman. With short brown hair and big green eyes.
"I'll have you know, Issei, that the Galvans are the most advanced species in the known universe. Besides, the original definition of 'alien' referred to any lifeform that was not from the current location. Therefore, since Devils, Angels, and Fallen Angels are not from Earth, by definition they are in fact, aliens." Having said that, Bri hopped down from his shoulder, turning back to normal as she fell.
"If you look at it that way, then Bri's right." Rias said with a smile. "Anyway, the other big difference between us and them is that Fallen Angels still want to serve God. But their dark emotions have forced them into the Underworld. You can think of it as unclaimed land in Hell. But the confusion is understandable because they too walk the Earth, misguiding humans. They want to please God and hope to do so by wiping out us Devils and gain supremacy over Hell. It doesn't help that the Angels are sent down by God to defeat us as well, so we have to defend against both sides."
"That's… I'm sorry. I'm just having trouble following all this." Issei seemed pretty lost. Mind you, he hadn't been dealing with magic and aliens and time travel since he was 10.
"Remember Yuuma Amano?" Ben knew Rias had hit a sore spot. Issei looked ready to punch something. "Of course you do. You dated for a little while, didn't you?"
"Where did you hear that name? And what does that have to do with anything?" Issei growled.
Rias threw down a picture of Yuuma. No doubt about it, that was the girl that nearly bulldozed Ben. "She's real, Issei. That was no dream. And she's a Fallen Angel."
"And how does killing Issei help please God?" Ben growled. The guy wasn't a threat to anyone. He just wanted a girlfriend.
"We're not too sure."
"And why doesn't anyone remember her? I talked to nearly everyone before I asked Bri, and she was the only one who remembered her."
"Wait." Ben had a thought. "The night before, someone or something tried to use mental magic on me. I always thought that someone kidnapped Yuuma and tried to make her disappear. But if she was a Fallen Angel…"
"Indeed." Rias seemed pleased by Ben's logic. "All three groups can erase and manipulate human memory. It usually is the best thing for them."
"Like when you made my parents think we sleep better naked and get better grades." Issei seemed surprised. So was Ben.
"So, Issei wasn't kidding? You actually have to be naked to heal him?"
Rias giggled. "Of course." She turned to Issei again. "After a Fallen Angel has completed their mission, they remove all memories and records of themselves from everyone around the target."
"Which brings me back to my question." Ben was getting annoyed. "Why was Issei a target?"
"Hold on." Issei seemed to remember something. "After she stabbed me she said some freaky shit about God and something sacred."
"Yes. You have the Sacred Gear."
Akeno took over. "It's basically a very unique and intense power that's found in a rare few. In fact, the only people I know of who have possessed it are historical figures. So you're kind of a big deal around here. Well, you and Bri."
Everyone looked at Bri now. "Now then. Will you explain about your Sacred Gear?" Rias seemed very nervous. Ben wasn't too surprised. They probably haven't really encountered alien life from other worlds. Hell, he didn't even know if any species in the Omnitrix were here. He was an anomaly.
"Well, it's not actually a Sacred Gear. This is the Omnitrix. An alien device made by the most intelligent being in 5 galaxies. Azmuth made this so that a person could see things from another species' perspective, and act as a vault for all DNA in the galaxy."
Issei looked amazed. "So, every form you use…"
"Is an actual species in my galaxy. I've used over 60 or 70 different forms, but theoretically there are over a million species in it." Everyone was shocked. Bri could become 1 million different forms? And all of them capable of fighting Fallen Angels at least?
Rias was right. With that device, Bri was on par with God Himself.
"Wow. Could we meet some of these species?" Issei was excited, but then again it's not every day you learn about aliens. Bri looked a bit sad though.
"Doubt it. I'm actually from another dimension, separate from any dimension here. According to a time-travelling friend of mine, some of your gods dragged me over to help you with something major. They even changed my form to make me look more 'sexy'."
"Damn. That's rough." Issei didn't know what else to say. How do you comfort someone who was as far away from home as you can get?
"It's not all bad. My friend said that they improved me. That means giving me the Master Control; the ability to have parts of my forms; and they've gotten stronger than before."
"That would explain why you killed that man and then brought him back to life." Rias said.
"I…I didn't mean to kill him. I just wasn't prepared for how strong I was."
"What's the Master Control?" Koneko asked.
"It unlocks every form in the Omnitrix, allows me to turn into them with a thought, and lets me stay as them for as long as I want."
Damn. With every sentence Bri seemed stronger and stronger. Rias was just glad that she was on her side.
"In fact, there's something I want to test out." Bri glowed with a green light, and changed into a shorter, white alien. It stood up to their knees, wearing what looked like a white bodysuit. There were cassettes on her legs and green circles on top of her hands. She had headphones attached to a backpack-like box. And on her chest was a strange symbol. Issei recognised it from her watch. Bri grabbed the symbol and turned it. Four spikes jutted out, and she changed again with another green glow. She was now back to her full height, and wearing a blue armoured bodysuit. She looked like a robot, with light-blue circles on her shoulders, arms, chest and legs. Two were placed in such a way that they seemed almost like breasts. Her head was shaped like a football and she lost her backpack.
"Cool." Bri said, her voice now sounding robotic. "I can go ultimate again. Those bad guys won't know what hit them."
"Ultimate?"
"Yeah. It's like… it runs a simulation of what the aliens would be like if they lived in a worst-case scenario for like, millions of years. Then it changes the forms to what they would look like and what new powers they would have." Bri turned back to normal in a flash.
I see then." Rias smirked. "Well, then. I am honoured to work alongside you Bri. Now we just need to see Issei's Sacred Gear. Please, hold up your left hand."
Issei looked puzzled. "Ok, but I'm not very good at catch."
"Close your eyes and think of the part of your body that is the strongest. Then focus hard on that strength."
"Wait. So we're doing this now? There's a lot of pressure."
"It'll get easier if you focus."
"Alright. Focus, focus, focus…" Issei almost seemed to seize up.
"Very good. Concentrate. You can do this." Personally, Ben thought Issei could focus better if Rias wasn't flashing her black panties at him. Part of him thought that she did it on purpose.
"I think I can!" he moaned. "I'm trying! Uh, focus!" He collapsed on his knees. "I can't. I'm a weak soul."
"You're not weak at all. It's just a little hard right now."
"He might do better if you weren't flashing your panties at him." Ben said frostily. "I could see them from here, never mind where Issei was standing."
"Are you sure I have that power? I'm not that cool like Bri is."
Ben laughed. "I was the school loser before I got the Omnitrix and it was actually a complete accident I got it at all. Just because you don't think you're good enough doesn't mean you can't have a cool power."
"Besides, a Fallen Angel found you threatening enough to try and kill you." Rias said. "It's not a mistake."
"Yeah? So those pawn pieces were what saved me? How'd you even find me in the first place?" Rias merely picked up a flyer with a pentacle on it. "Hey, that the flyer that weird girl gave me before my date."
"This is a Devil summoning ritual. When you were dying, your thoughts activate it and summoned me to you." Issei seemed to blush, and Ben had a good idea what thoughts he was having about Rias. "And so, that day you were revived and reborn as an honoured member of the House of Rias Gremory. Daughter of the great and powerful Devil, the marque of Gremory." Two large bat wings somehow appeared behind her. "Which means you are now my Devil servant."
Akeno giggled. "Isn't this exciting? You're one of us now." Everyone else besides Ben grew the same bat wings as Rias. Even Issei.
"We're glad to have you both here, Issei and Bri." Rias said. Bri thought about it for a moment, and then a green flash lit up the room. When Issei could see her again, she looked exactly the same but with the same wings as the rest of them.
"When we met the second time, my Omnitrix must've sampled your Devil DNA. Guess that makes me a member of the club."
"The way this works is that we grant power to humans for a price we both agree on and then seal with a pact."
"So you use magic to barter for souls." Ben summed up. He guessed that as long as the humans liked it, he couldn't really just stop it because he felt uncomfortable.
Rias nodded. "We used to use magic circles, but that got too complicated. So nowadays, we make house calls and personal deliveries." Ben started laughing.
"Hi Hell. I'd like one large serving of power, with cheese and bacon on top please?"
"Well, since you find it so amusing, you can escort Issei to his house calls." She turned back to Issei. "Ordinarily we'd have a messenger demon make the runs, but it might benefit you to learn what goes into this job. If you do well, you might be able to get a few servants of your own to help out in any way you like."
"I'm into that. I can use some servants."
"Like I said, that all depends on your efforts."
"Let's say that my efforts are 'awesome'. Does that mean my servants have to do everything I tell them to?"
"That's right." Ben didn't like where this was going.
"And they're mine so I can do whatever I want to them?"
"Yes." Ben really didn't like where this was going.
"You know what that means, right? It's going to be sexy time!"
As Issei learnt the hard way, nothing derails your thought faster than being punched out by a Crystalsapien.
(**/*\**)
"I've finished my delivery!" Issei yelled out as he entered the room. Despite his healing, Bri's fist was still imprinted in his cheek. Rias hopped out of the shower again, right in time for Issei to see her. She had to have been doing it on purpose.
"That's good. Now I have another job for you. Koneko has double-booked with two summon requests, and won't be able to make it to both. Take one of them and get some practice."
"That'd be super-rad." It was weird, hearing that being said in a monotone voice.
"And take Bri with you, work out your differences. You made such a cute couple."
Bri huffed. "We are not a couple."
When they tried to use a transportation circle to get there, something about Issei made the whole thing short out. Luckily for them, Bri had a form that could get them there at a good pace.
Unluckily, it wasn't the most comfortable way.
"Ok, Bri? I know you're a blind orange dog-thing, and it's probably sheer luck we haven't crashed yet. But I swear you're trying to buck me off on purpose." Bri only growled. Her current form looked like the hybrid of a gorilla and a very big dog. She didn't have eyes of any kind, but she was somehow able to run at full speed without crashing into anything. On the downside, she couldn't talk, so Issei had to make some educated guesses on what she was saying.
"Look, I'm sorry about my plan to have a harem. But I'd bet you'd be jumping with joy to have a harem of hunky guys." He yelled as Bri shuddered so much she nearly lost her footing. "Ok. Maybe not. A harem of girls then?" Issei started drooling as he imagined Bri naked in bed with hot girls. Bri nearly threw him off again.
Eventually, they made it to the flats their client lived in. When Bri turned back, she rubbed her back like it was sore.
"I'm gonna have wash that area after this." She muttered. Personally, Issei thought she was over-reacting. It wasn't like he jizzed his pants or anything.
"Bri. Does me with a harem really bother you that much?" Maybe she did have a crush on him, and was jealous about it.
"If… if you have your 'harem', and they say no to anything, you aren't going to force them are you?" Issei felt like puking.
"What? No, no, no. Bri, I'm not that kind of guy. I'd only choose girls who want to, who agree to do so. I won't force any girl against their will." No wonder she seemed to hate him. She probably thought he was going to rape his harem. As if he'd ever stoop so low.
Bri looked at him for a bit, before smiling and giving him a hug. Issei thought he was in Heaven as her boobs squished against him. "You're so nice. Biggest pervert I've ever met though."
(**/*\**)
"Mr Morisawa?" Issei knocked on the door again "Devil's knocking at your door. Open up." It didn't take long before the guy opened up. He looked like a Hikikomori with his long hair and scruffy shirt. (That's someone who spends all their time inside their room without ever going out.) He didn't spare a glance at Issei, but was firmly glued to Bri's figure. Issei decided to get his attention before Bri did something they'd all regret. "Ah hey. Devil down here, I know she's sexy and all. But we need to make a pact."
The man closed the door again. "Go away."
"But wait, I'm really a Devil!" Issei panicked while Bri did a face palm. "You summoned a Devil and I'm here to hook you up."
"Since when does a demon come in through the front door?"
"Uh… Tonight's your lucky night?" That sounded pathetic, even to him.
"Screw you. I'm not an idiot. I know how this works. Koneko always appears out of the magic circle on this flyer. She's the one I called for, now get off my porch."
Issei felt like crying in frustration. "Look I tried ok? And it didn't happen. I don't know why. All they said was that I had to get here and I did!" He fell to his knees. This wasn't how things were supposed to go. He was supposed to do some primo work and in a few days he'd have a harem.
"Look pal." Bri shouted through the door. "Koneko accidently had two pacts at the same time and we offered to cover this one. Now open the door, and make your wish so that we can get back to other, more important things."
The guy opened the door again, staring at Bri's tits for a bit longer. "Ok fine. You can come in. But only as long as you come in too, Girly."
"My name is Bri." She didn't seem happy as they entered. At least Morisawa made them both some green tea. His place was filled wall-to-wall with anime and manga.
"Alright then, so if you're the demon then who's she?"
"I'm his bodyguard. I make sure he gets to and from his work safe and sound." The guy smiled.
"And apparently, get him inside the house with your tits."
"Hey, leave her alone." Issei said. Rias would probably kill him if Bri punched out their client. "This is my first time."
"Well if you're gonna be the stand-in you need to prove yourself. Show me what cool devil tricks you got."
"Devil tricks? I don't know. What does Koneko usually do?" Morisawa smirked before pulling out a girl's uniform. It looked like it came from an anime of some kind.
"Cosplay? Save the Princess?"
"Are you freaking kidding me? You summoned a demon just for that?" Bri looked even more annoyed
"Damn straight I did. I've been looking everywhere for another cute young thing to sweep me off my feet on a weekly basis. But unless I want to grab one off the street…"
"Yeah, I see your point there." Issei couldn't believe that this is what Koneko did every week.
"And no offence to you Beautiful, but my Cosplay outfits are for petite girls. I doubt we could fit this around one of your tits."
"From the look of every girl I've met so far I thought petite girls were endangered or something." Bri deadpanned.
"I know right? So what can you do for me?"
Issei thought about it for a bit. This might be a good chance to try again. "I know." He stood up straight and pulled a dramatic pose. "KAME HAME HA!" And as he kinda expected, nothing happened. "I'm sorry. I can't do anything cool. Bri's the one with the cool powers." Morisawa turned to Bri, who sighed and used a partial transformation. Her arms grew more muscled and bright red as another pair sprouted from underneath her arms. Soon she stood there with four strong arms hanging by her sides.
"Cool. But you my friend." He turned to face Issei again, Bri forgotten about. "You are clearly a fan of the Z. Or so you think." Issei was confused by his change in words. "But all you've ever seen are the reruns. My generation caught it all first look." He opened a wardrobe to show it was filled to the brim with videos. "Observe. All first additions."
"Who cares if you saw it first? That doesn't mean a thing." Morisawa growled. "I've got all the special-edition ones so you can suck it."
"Hah." Morisawa laughed. "Of course you don't understand. I remember it came on every Wednesday night. I'd have my buddies over and we'd watch it live. No DVRing this shit, we caught the first fresh hit of fusion-awesomeness."
"Well when my friends and I played in the park we'd call ourselves the names of the characters and turn it into a battleground!" Issei said hotly. "And if you don't believe me I can still pull a Koku and go super dragon on your ass."
"I'd like to see you try, you piece of useless pansy!" Morisawa shouted back.
"Enough! Both of you. You're acting like children!" Bri shouted, her hands made of Lego and pushing the two away. "Besides, Sumo Slammers is way better."
"Sumo Slammers?" Issei had never heard of that. But then again, Bri was from another dimension. She merely smirked. With a green flash, she turned into a tall, humanoid blob-thing. She had a white front and her back was black with green lines on it. She also had a green circle for an eye. She changed shape until she was a massive, futuristic TV.
"Ready to watch the coolest show of all time?" She asked, her voice sounding very computerised. Two sumos appeared on her screen as a theme song started playing. Morisawa and Issei sat down to watch. It's not every day that you get to watch a show from another dimension.
(**/*\**)
"That was actually really good, Bri." Issei was saying as they walked back. They could've gone faster, but Issei wanted to talk a bit with Bri about the show. "But I still think that Drag-So Ball is better."
"Oh, it's such a tragedy when philistines can't recognise true art in this day and age." Bri retorted in a melodramatic way.
"It was a little… unrealistic."
"That was pretty standard for my dimension."
"Really? You've dealt with a shapeshifter trying to destroy you? Or destroyed a near invulnerable monster by bouncing around inside it? Or dealt with your evil twin and banished him to another dimension?"
"He's now my best friend, it happened when I was 10, and I only sent the second evil twin to another dimension." Bri counted off on her fingers.
"You're shitting me! You really had an evil twin?"
"Yep. He even had a knock-off Omnitrix of his own."
"Wait. He? How can he be a twin if he was a guy?" Bri looked a little panicked.
"Well… I never really said he was an exact twin. He was more like an opposite sex twin."
"Huh. Do you suppose he was a big downstairs as you are upstairs?"
"Dear god. Why did you have to put that image in my head? Are you trying to traumatise me?"
Issei started laughing. He might not had made a pact, but he enjoyed spending time with Bri. She was smart, strong, funny, and she was a real superheroine. Not to mention her killer body. They stopped laughing as a familiar sense came over them. Turning around, they spotted another Fallen Angel.
This one was another lady, with breasts so big they were barely fitting into her jacket. Her hair was a dark blue and she had the longest legs Issei had ever seen.
"What a surprise. You're not what I thought, but I certain you were the ones I was meant to find. My name is Kalawarner and I have been sent to destroy you both." Why was it that all the really sexy ones wanted to kill him? Why couldn't they just want to sleep with him? Was that too much?
"Three assassination attempts in three nights." Bri sighed as her arms turned into purple rocks again. "Maybe you guys should take that as a sign that you suck at your jobs?"
"Why are you two still alive?" A lance of yellow light formed in her hand. "They were supposed to have taken care of this already!" Issei instinctually dodged as Bri absorbed the lance again. The Fallen Angel seemed to start as she saw Rias' crest on his hand.
"So you're the one Dohnaseek mistook for a stray. My, my. Isn't that interesting? The fact that you are both members of the Gremory household only makes it more important that you two be destroyed." She charged forward and Bri got ready to meet her. Issei felt stupid. Here he was lying on his ass all because he couldn't use his great power. If he just focused…
Or if he tried the moves from Drag-So Ball Z again.
"FOCUS!" He yelled. This time, a green light glowed from his hands as his wings sprouted. A strong wind blew as a red cover formed on his hand. Issei yelled as a green beam fired from him at the Fallen Angel. She yelled as she got blown away. Issei could only stare at his hand. He had done it! He had manifested his power.
"Is that… the Sacred Gear?" Kalawarner stuttered. Issei looked up to see that his beam had blown her clothes apart and her breasts bounced as she flapped. "I've got better things to do. I'm going to let someone else deal with this crap!" And she flew away, giving Issei a good view of her ass. But Issei felt confused. His gear was a red gauntlet, covering just from his wrist to his elbow. It was completely red, with a green jewel in the centre and gold spikes at the front.
"So what's the Sacred Gear? Hey Bri. What do you suppose…?" Issei stopped, shaking. Apparently, it wasn't just the Fallen Angel who got caught in the blast.
Bri stood stark naked, trying to cover herself with giant green flippers. But they barely covered her breasts. And she looked even more pissed than when Issei talked about his harem.
"Uh… Sorry?" Issei said weakly. All Bri did was sprout blue wings and covered herself while yelling in rage. As it turns out, being slapped by giant flippers is really painful.
(**/*\**)
"Congratulations, Issei." Rias said. "You found it."
"I don't feel like congratulations." Issei said. Or at least tried to. His mouth still felt too numb to say much.
"Now that it's been activated, all you have to do is decide when you wanted to turn it on or off." As Issei thought about it turning off, it vanished in a flash of light.
"I'm so proud of you Issei." Akeno squealed.
"Thanks."
"However." Rias interrupted. "This does put me in a strange position. The Fallen Angels now know, not only that you're still alive, but that you've been reborn as one of us. Which is bound to make things more complicated around here."
"Sorry."
"I know that it was just an accident that you ran into her, but don't get carried away now that you've unlocked the Sacred Gear and try to fight them alone. That's disrespectful to the rest of us."
Issei sighed. "I understand. I'm gonna go home now. I'm tired."
"By the way." Rias mentioned. "How did you get so beat up?"
"Uh, well…" Issei didn't want to rat out Bri. It was kind of his fault she lost her clothes in the blast. He was trying to come up with a convincing lie when Bri came out from behind the shower curtain. She had used Clockwork's power to restore her clothes as they were before his blast affected them.
"It was my fault." She said. "Issei's Sacred Gear somehow blasted the Fallen Angel's clothes off, and I got caught in the blast. I was so embarrassed that I started wailing on him for no good reason." She walked up to Issei. "I'm sorry for my behaviour."
"It's ok Bri. I'd probably go nuts too if my clothes got blasted off. And I really should've watched where I was aiming it."
"Well now, looks like we're all friends again." Rias said. "But try not to attack your own teammates, Bri. But given how well you two get along when you're not trying to kill him, I'd like it if you could continue body guarding him at all times."
Bri nodded. Issei felt relieved. He really liked spending time with her. And the others will be so jealous that the school's newest idol is his best friend.
Things were looking up again.
(**/*\**)
"You don't think Rias is still pissed off at me, do you?" Issei asked Bri. "I mean, I didn't actually get a pact last night."
"I think she'll get over it. Koneko probably had trouble getting a pact the first time too." That cheered him up. Yeah, Koneko had to be a newbie too at some point. They were both distracted by a girl's cry and a thud. Issei felt like he was in heaven when he turned around.
Pure white panties. The sun was glaring of pure white panties right into his eyes. The girl they belonged to wriggled a bit as she tried to stand back up.
"Oh no." She wailed. "I looks like I fell down again. I'm such a klutz." Issei felt pain as Bri slammed her foot down on his foot. The girl managed to sit up and look at them. She was a blond-haired foreigner, dressed in what looked like a church robe. A cross dangled between her modest breasts.
"Whoa." Issei thought to himself. "Who's that?"
Poor Bri. Her third day here and she already lost her clothes. Hopefully things will look up for her from now on.
So yeah, Ben's a chivalrous guy. You give him a harem and he'd probably do nothing untoward with them. He's not exactly a fan of Issei's dream, but he's had stupid dreams too.
I brought up Sumo Slammers because Ben is a huge fan of it, and I couldn't resist. I just made up some plotlines for the show and thought it would be funny to have Ben done exactly the same things in real life.
