Chapter Seven:

Once at the ORC, they saw everyone looking down at Saji who was laying down on one of the couches with Issei and Vali standing over her with their Sacred Gears out and glowing along with Saji's Sacred Gear which was also glowing as the two Dragon Emperors were standing there in a trance like state.

"What's going on?", Lucas asked.

"Well...", Le Fay began to explain what was going on.

(Flashback)

"So let me get this straight.", Issei said after Saji explained what she wanted. "You think that Vritra is trying to contact you through your dreams."

"Yes.", Saji said with a nod.

"And you think that Vali and I can help you with our Sacred Gears.", Issei figured.

"Yes.", Saji said.

"I believe that Ddriag and Albion may be able to communicate with Vritra and hopefully help Saji with her powers.", Sona explained.

"Can it be done, Ddriag?", Issei asked the Welsh Dragon as he spoke to the gauntlet on his left arm.

[It is possible for me and Albion to do so.] Ddriag said as Vali's Sacred Gear appeared on his back.

[Of course, the girl will have to be in a state of slumber for this to work.] Albion said.

"I can handle that.", Le Fay said as she prepped a sleeping spell.

"Fine.", Saji said as she went to lay on the couch. "Let's do this.", she said as she summoned her Sacred Gear.

"Sweet dreams.", Le Fay said as she casted her spell putting her to sleep.

"So what do we do, Albion?", Vali asked.

[Ddriag and I go this.] Albion said as a beam of blue light shot out from the Sacred Gear he was in while a green light shot out from Issei's Sacred Gear.

Both beams connected to Saji's Sacred Gear connecting them together.

"Now we wait.", Le Fay said.

"Hopefully, this will help Saji in the long run.", Sona said.

(End Flashback)

"That was about ten minutes ago.", Arthur said.

"So, Issei and Vali are trying to help Saji speak with Vritra.", Lucas said. "Makes sense. It takes a dragon to talk to a dragon sometimes."

"I wonder what's going on in there.", Irina said as she looked down at Saji as Issei and Vali stood over her.

"Good question.", Tsubaki said as they all were waiting form Saji to wake up.

Now as for Saji, she along with Issei and Vali were in some sort of dreamscape that was a large grassy field with a starry night sky.

"This is new.", Saji said as she looked up at the sky.

"Tell me about it.", Vali said.

"So what do we do now?, Saji asked.

[We try to contact Vritra and hope he comes to us.] Ddriag said. [Shall we, Albion?]

[Let's.] Albion said as he and Ddriag channeled their power to try and call for Vritra.

"By the way, Saji. Sorry about the other day.", Issei said knowing that she knew what he was talking about.

"Forget about it.", Saji said. "Besides. Something good did come out of it.", she said with a smile while blushing.

"Uh-Huh.", Issei said knowing what she was talking about.

Suddenly, a large black figure flew towards them with a mighty roar surprising the group.

"Let me guess.", Issei said. "Vritra."

[Yes.] Ddriag said as the figure landed before them with a mighty roar.

[Shall we, Ddriag?]

[Indeed, Albion.]

It was then that the two heavenly dragons came from out of the Sacred Gears and appeared behind their host letting out a raor of their own.

"Whoa!", Saji said amazed at the size of the two dragons as they were face to face with Vritra.

[Ddriag! Albion!] Vritra said surprised to see fellow dragons. [It's been a while!]

[Hello, old friend.] Albion said. [It seems that you've been having trouble connecting wit your host.]

[She's the one who runs for me when I come to her!] Vritra said looking down at his host.

"Well look at you! You look like some kind of smoke monster!", Saji countered.

[She's right, Vritra.] Ddriag said. [You haven't completely formed yourself.]

[It's because of the fact that not all of my Sacred Gear pieces aren't together.] Vritra said. [This is the best I can do. If you can find the other pieces, then I can speak to you better.] he said to Saji. [Not to mention come to you in my true form, in the dreamscape. As well as unlock other powers for you to use.]

"Sona has been working on that.", Saji said. "Hopefully we'll find them."

[Understood.] Vritra said. [But for now, I can at least do this for you.] he said as he shot a beam of light down at Saji.

"What did you just do?", Saji asked.

[Now you can fire up to three Absorption Lines that will be stronger than they normally were.] Vritra explained. [Use my power well, Saji. We shall speak again soon.] he said before fading away.

"Thank you, Vritra.", Saji said as she brought her hands up to her chest feeling her connection to the Prison Dragon get a bit stronger.

In the real world, Issei and Vali came out of their trance-like state while Saji was still sleeping.

"How did everything go?", Sona asked as Issei and Vali recalled their Sacred Gears.

"Well Vritra gave Saji a bit of a boost, which may come in handy tonight.", Vali said as he sat down in a chair.

"Right now, she just needs some rest.", Issei said doing the same.

"When she wakes up, we'll go over the battle plan.", Sona said glad that everything worked out for Saji.

About a half an hour later, Saji finally wakes up with a yawn as she sits up and stretches her arms.

"Welcome back.", A-Ko said with a smile.

"Thanks.", Saji said as she rubs her eyes. "So what did I miss?"

"Nothing much.", Lucas said. "We were waiting on you to wake up so we could go over the battle plan."

"And now that you're finally up, we can get it done.", Rias said getting annoyed.

"Relax, Ris.", Issei said. "Saji is up and now we can get done what needs to get done."

"If you would, Miss Sitri.", Vali said.

"Very well.", Sona said as she stepped forward, ready to go over things. "Now while my peerage and I are maintaining the barrier, the rest of you will be facing the enemy. When it comes to Kokabiel, the Dragon Emperors along with Lucas will be taking him on while the rest of you will be facing Kokabiel's forces. Arthur, Kiba, Xenovia, and Irina will be facing Valper Galilei along with Freed Sellzen and whoever is with them."

"We'll have to take them down fast.", Arthrur said. "If I'm right, Valper may be trying to fuse the swords he has into one powerful one. We can not let that happen!"

"Agreed.", Xenovia said. "We can not allow them to have a weapon like that."

"They won't.", Kiba said determine to get his vengeance.

"As for Vernon Dulocke, Le Fay and Kuroka be facing him.", Sona said.

"Right!", Le Fay said as she and Kuroka nodded.

"Raynare. You along with Kalawarna and Mittelt will take on Dohnaseek.", Sona said. "I don't know how powerful he is, so we'll leave him to you three seeing as you three know him best."

"We got him.", Raynare said.

"We're gonna make him sorry he betrayed Azazel and joined up with Kokabiel.", Kalawarna said.

"Very sorry.", Mittelt added.

"As for whatever else Kokabiel might have to fight, the rest of you will face them.", Sona said getting nods from everyone. "We have a long fight ahead of us, tonight, so let's be ready to give it our all.", she finished knowing that now all they had to do was wait for Kokabiel to show up.

"This is going to be a long wait.", Bikou said with about four and a half hours left before midnight.

"It'll go by before you know it.", Vali said as everyone simply relaxed a bit while trying you focus on what they had to do.

Sure enough, the time went by before any knew it. About a half an hour before midnight, those that needed to get changed went ito another room to get changed for the battle. Soon it was midnight, and everyone headed out onto the school grounds to face Kokabiel and his forces. Now when it came to Rias and Sona's peerage's they were all dressed in their school uniforms except for Issei who was in a black tracksuit that had a white stripe going down the sides along with white sneakers as well as Akeno who was dressed in her shrine priestess clothes. As for Vali's group, they were all dressed in what they came their in. Except for Bikou who was now dresses in ancient Chinese armor which was used during the Three Kingdoms period and Le Fay who was now dressed in a sorceress-like dress with a huge blur hat that had a black bow with yellow stars with a matching cape that had pink flowers and white interior.

As for the three Fallen, Mittelt was in her normal black dress with white frills, a large black bow on the front, and a green jewel embedded on the collar, with white thigh-high socks and a large bow on her hair. Now instead of her shoes she now was wearing black boots that went up to her knees along with silver round shoulder pads, a small silver breastplate with a women's silver tassel belt, silver greaves, and gauntlets with black fingerless gloves with her light spear at the ready. Raynare was dressed in a pair of black shorts with a black mid-drift top and black boots that went up to her thighs. She also was wearing a thing of woman's silver Mina chest armor with a Women's Lena silver tassel belt along with silver gauntlets with fingerless gloves, greaves, and a black headband. As for Kalawarna, she was dressed in her maroon miniskirt with a maroon sleeve-less top with white accents that looked like a cheongsam with a round shaped in the chest area which gave a pretty good view of her cleavage while wearing a short sleeved mid-drift Maroon jacket. She was also wearing some black boots with silver greaves on then, black fingerless gloves with silver gauntlets, silver Japanese shoulder guards, and silver chest armor that went from the bottom of her chest to her waist where she had a Women's Lena silver tassel belt.

Now we go to A-Ko who was now wearing a black sleeveless leotard with white accents with brown boots, an orange mini-skirt with an orange mid-drift, short sleeved top that had her left shoulder and arm exposed showing part o f her leotard along with her black wristbands. Then there was B-Ko who was now dressed in a sleeveless leotard that top half was white while the bottom half was purple, with brown boots and a purple skirt that went down to her ankles and had slits on both sides so she could fight in it along with a brown cowgirl hat. As for Jeane, she was dressed in a black gakuran for women, with orange armor over it with a rapier at her side. As for Xenovia, she was in her battle outfit, like Irina with Excalibur Destruction at her back.

"I still say we should have called your brother, Rias.", Issei said.

"Even if I wanted to now, it's to late to do so, Issei.", Rias said.

"Then it's a good thing I called him then.", Akeno said with a smile.

"You what?!", Rias questioned. "Why did you do that, Akeon?!"

"Rias, you and I both know that Kokabiel is way out of our league.", Akeno said with a serious tone. "He could have wiped us all out a long time ago. I decided to call him an hour before midnight and told him what was happening. He is handling something right now and won't be here for about another thirty minutes."

"So we just have to stall for thirty minutes.", Issei said. "That'll be fun.", he said sarcastically as he rolled his eyes.

"I can't believe you did that, Akeon.", Ris said upset with her.

"Be glad she did, Gremory.", Vali said. "Now we have a chance to get through this."

"Actually, we have a real good chance.", Sona said.

"What do you mean?", Rias asked. "Wait! Don't tell me that you..."

"Called my sister? Yeah. I did.", Sona confessed.

"Seriously, Sona?!", Rias questioned.

"This is Kokabiel we're dealing with, Rias!", Sona said. "To much is at stake for us to screw this up! So yeah! I called my sister! But, like Sirzechs, she won't be here for a good thirty minutes."

"Then let's make them count.", Lucas said as they all towards where Sirzechs was waiting for them.

But what none of them saw was thet Lucas, Issei, and Vali were looking as each other smirking a little. For Lucas had already told Vali and Issei about how Sona had called her sister earlier for help. Soon, the group had now arrived where Kokabiel was waiting for them sitting in a throne that he had floating in the air above the school looking quite confidant.

"Talk about being full of himself.", A-Ko said.

"Kokabiel was always one for the dramatic.", Vali said.

"My ears are burning.", Kokabiel said with as smirk. "Some of you must be talking about me."

Kokabiel has long black hair with red eyes with pointy ears and five pairs of black wings. He was dressed in a black robe with detailed accessories and purple shoulder pads with some gold streaks on the side.

"So you actually came.", Kokabiel said impressed with their courage. "And you brought some friends with you. Hello, Vali. It's been a while."

"Why are you doing this, Kokabiel?", Vali questioned. "Do you really want to start a war that badly?"

"Indeed I do, boy!", Kokabiel said. "We Fallen could have won the last great war, had Azazel not pulled out! Now all he cares about are those blasted Sacred Gears!"

"So you did all of this just to start a war?", Lucas said. "Somebody isn't playnig with a full deck."

"Oh I'm plenty sane, boy!", Kokabiel said. "Once I get rid of the sisters of Sirzechs and Serafall, another great war will get jump started and I'll be in the thick of it taking down as many of my enemies as I can! And you heads will be the first trophies that I shall collect!"

"Sona! You and your peerage better go get that barrier up and going!", Lucas said.

"On it!", Sona said as she brought out her wings while her peerage followed suit. "Let's go Sitri Peerage!", she said as they took to the sky.

"Right behind you, Sona!", Tsubaki said as the rest of the Siri Peerage took to the sky.

Once high enough they erected their barrier cutting the school off from the rest of Kuoh to keep the town safe.

"And with that done, let's get this party started.", Vali said.

"Well this just got interesting.", Kokabiel said.

"Tell me, Kokabiel, where are Valper and Freed?", Arthur asked.

"Those two are somewhere over there.", Kokabiel said as he pointed to his right where a pillar of light shined began to shine. "That old man is fusing the four Excalibur blades as we speak. "If you hurry, you just may get there in time to see it happen.", he said with a smirk.

"Kiba, Irina, Xenovia, let's go!", Arthur said as they ran in the direction Kokabiel pointed.

Thankfully, Irina had a holy sword that Jeane made for her to use. Something she was grateful for.

"If any of you are looking for the Dulocke boy, he is in that direction.", Kokabiel said pointing as his left. "Said something about waiting for his future wife to come for him."

Saying nothing, Le Fay hopped onto her broom and flew in the direction Kokabiel pointed with Kuroka, who now had her cat ears and tails out, and B-Ko right behind her.

"So that leaves the rest of you.", Kokabiel said. "Now I figure that the two Dragon Emperors and the Demi-Olympian boy will be facing me from the power I feel from them. So that leaves the rest of you.", Kokabiel with a smirk. "And I got just the thing!", he said as he snapped his fingers.

Once he did this, a small army of powerful mages and Fallen came from out of no where. Among them was Dohnaseek who now had a round shield to go with hie light spear.

"Miss me, girls?!", Dohnaseek asked Raynare, Kalawarna, and Mittelt.

"You done for, Dohnaseek!", Raynare siad as she extended her wings along with Kalawarna and Mittelt as the three of them took to the sky to fight him with their light spears at the ready.

"Bring it on!", Dohnaseek said as he flew towards them ready to fight them on his own.

"The rest of you take the rest of them down.", Kokabiel ordered as the mages and Fallen went into battle.

"This will be fun!", Bikou said as he along with Rias, Akeno, Jeane, A-Ko, and Koneko who had her ears and tail out ready to fight, went to work fighting them off.

Of course, Issei, and Vali took down a few of them with a powerful Dragon Shot each while Lucas fired a power bolt of lightning taking out some more.

"Can't let them have all the fun.", Issei said getting a laugh out of Kokabiel.

"This may be more interesting than I thought!", Kokabiel said with a sinister smile.

Not being phased by Kokabiel much, Issei, Vali, and Lucas looked up at Raynare, Kalawarna, and Mittelt as they fought Dohnaseek who was holding his own against the three female Fallen. Now a few moments earlier, at the Hyoudou home, Nozomi along with Kiyome, Murayama, Katase, Akia, Matsuda, and Motohama were sensing all the auras that were at the school when suddenly, they couldn't feel the auras.

"What the...?!", Matsuda questioned when he couldn't sense all the auras at the school. "What gives?!"

"One minute, they're there, the next... poof!", Katase said.

"Somebody must have put up a powerful barrier to protect Kuoh from the battle.", Kiyome figured. "The fighting must have started."

"And whoever Issei and his allies arew fighting must have some major power.", Akia said when Murayama headed or the door. "Where are you going?!"

"Where do you think?! To go help Issei!", Murayama said. "We may not be on his level, but we can help do something!"

"Murayama's right! We can't sit here and do nothing!", Katase said ready to go.

"Yeah! Now you're talking!", Matsuda said. "Let's go kick some butt!"

"Stop!", Nozomi said as she stood at the door blocking the way with her arms stretched out with a stern look on her face.

"Get out of the way, Nozomi.", Murayama said calmly as she narrowed her eyes at Nozomi.

"Sorry, but no, Murayama.", Nozomi said. "Issei wants you all here to stay safe."

"But he needs us!", Murayama shouted.

"No! He doesn't.", Nozomi said. "If he wanted you by his side, he would have brought you all with him to the fight."

"She's right, Murayama.", Kiyome said as she walked up to the group along wth Akia and Motohama. "We may be strong, but we're no where as strong as those fighting by Issei's side. We would only get in the way if we were there."

"The best place for us to be is right here.", Nozomi said.

"How can yo say that when you're brother is out there fighting for not only his life, but for all of Kuoh?!", Murayama questioned. "I know that you two have some beef, but for you to care so little about him is just plain heartless!", she snapped before Nozomi slapped her so hard that she fell to the floor.

"Whoa!", Matsuda said surprised at what just happend.

"You okay?", Katase asked as she knelt down to her friend.

"Y-Yeah.", Murayama said still surprised by what Nozomi did.

"You don't think I care about my brother?", Nozomi questioned getting everyone's attention as they looked at her.

Murayama looked up at Nozomi with a glare that faded as she saw tears running down her face.

"You really are an idiot.", Nozomi said as she glares at Murayama. "He may be a pain at times, and really annoys me a lot, but he's still my twin brother! And right now, he along with three other people that I care about are fighting to not only save Kuoh but the whole freaking world! Do I wish I had the power to fight by his side?! Yeah! I do. But I don't! The least I can do is have faith that they'll win this fight and live to see another day! And if keeping you here and out of his way will help them do that, then that's what I'm going to do! Cause none of them can fight the villain and keep you safe at the same time!"

"She's right and you know this, Muryama.", Akia said. "And the same goes for you two as well.", she said to Katase and Matsuda.

"We all sensed those auras at the school.", Motohama said. "We're no way as strong as they are. If anything, it shows that we have a long way to go to catch up with them."

"So we just sit here and wait, huh?", Matsuda questioned.

"Yes.", Motohama said. "That's what we do."

"This bites!", Katase said with a pout.

"Beats being dead.", Akia said as Murayama got to her feet.

"Be honest with us, Bro.", Matsuda said to Motohama. "Can Issei and his bunch win this?"

"Yes. They can. No. They will win.", Nozomi said before Motohama could say anything.

"What she said.", Motohama said with a smirk.

"How can you be so sure?", Murayama asked.

"Because he's my brother.", Nozomi said with a smile. "The Red Dragon Emperor! He will not go down without a fight!"

Back at Kuoh Academy...

"AH-CHOO!"

"Bless you.", Lucas said to Issei. "That was your third sneeze, man! You good?"

"Someone is talking about me.", Issei said. "And I think I know who iti may be.", he said with a smirk thinking about his sister and friends."

Now in another part of the school, we have Arthur along with Kiba, Irina, and Xenovia who are heading to the pillar of light, knowing who was there.

"Stay alert, everyone!", Arthur said. "No telling who Valper and Freed has with them!"

"Just let me at Valper!", Kiba sid. "He has to pay for his crimes!"

"Calm yourself, Kiba!", Arthur said. "Valper will pay for his crimes. Be we must be careful."

Saying nothing, Kiba sped up hoping to take out Valper and get his revenge.

"This may not end well.", Xenovia said.

"You may be right.", Irina said as they closed in on where Valper and Freed were.

Only when they got there, there were a small group of mages with them, as well, ready to fight them.

"Well look who showed up to the party?!", Freed said with a sneer. "Hope you don't mind that we brought a few friends of our own to our little party."

"It doesn't matter who you have here!", Kiba snapped. "I will get justice for my friends!", he said as he summoned his Holy Eater.

"Now. Now, my boy. I'm just about finished fusing the Excalibur blades.", Valper siad as he was indeed finished as the four Excalibur blades fused into one sword. "Behold! My Excalibur!"

"About time, old man!", Freed said as he took the sword. "Oh yeah! Now that's power!"

"That's not good!", Irina said.

"No. It isn't.", Arthur said.

Saying nothing, Kiba dashed at Valper only to be cut off by Freed who stood in his way.

"Not so fast, pretty boy!", Freed said as their blades clashed. "We still have unfinished business!"

"Fine by me!", Kiba said with a glare as they jumped away from each other and began theor duel.

"I guess we that leaves the mages for us.", Xenovia said as she readied her Excalibur Destruction.

"Looks like.", Irina said as she readied her sword.

"Let us make short work of them.", Arthur said as he summoned his blade.

"Is that what I think is is?", Xenovia asked.

"Indeed, Xenovia.", Arthur said. "Behold, my sword! Caliburn!", he said scaring the mages who had weapons out as well.

"He may hold a powerful sword, but he's still just a man, you fools!", Valper said. "Do not waver and you can take him!", he said giving the mages the confidants they needed to fight.

"You should have ran when you had the Chance.", Arthur said as he narrows his eyes ready to fight.

Letting out a loud battle cry, the mages charged at Arthur, Irina, and Xenovia who were more than ready as they ran at the mages and began to make short work of them. Meanwhile, we have the group of Le Fay, Kuroka, and B-Ko who had showed up to where Vernon Dulocke was waiting.

"Welcome, my dear Le Fay!", Vernon said with a sly smile as he summoned a black cane that had a round clear crystal on top. "How has the last five years been for you?"

"Very well, thank you.", Le Fay said with a smile as she jumped off her broom. "Just because I'm cursed doesn't mean I can't live a good life."

"At least you look on the bright side of things.", Vernon said. "But let's be honest with ourselves. You wish for me to remove my little curse from you."

"It would be nice.", Le Fay said.

"Well we both know that there's only one way for that to happen, my dear little Le Fay.", Vernon said. "Thirteen you are and thirteen you shall remain,..."

"... until you take the Dulocke name!", Le Fay finished as she narrowed her eyes at Vernon. "How could I forget."

"So will you be my wife, or will you remain a young teen for the rest of your life?", Vernon asked.

"Nether.", Le Fay said as she summoned her magic staff. "I'm going to defeat you and make you remove the curse."

"And she's won't do it alone.", Kuroka said.

"You could avoid all of this and just remove the curse.", B-Ko said as she narrowed her eyes at Dulocke.

"My, my, my. You seem to be very angry with me.", Dulocke said to B-Ko said.

"People like you make me sick.", B-Ko said. "You can't get what you want so you go and use whatever power you have to get what you want! I'm actually looking forward to kicking your butt!", she said as she summoned what looked like a blaster from a sci-fi movie.

"You think some gun can hurt me?!", Vernon laughed. "You foolish girl! I'll take you out first!", he laughed before B-Ko fired her gun which shot a blast of magic energy surprising Vernon as well as Le Fay and Kuroka. "What the...?! What is that...?!", he questioned as he quickly recovered from the blast, yet not from the pain he got from it.

"It's call it Magi-Tech.", B-Ko said. "A mix of magic and technology! And it works well!"

"Oh! I like this one!", Kuroka said with a sly smile as she use her touki to cover herself in an aura of ki. "I actually feel a bit sorry for this Dulocke guy."

"I don't.", Le Fay said as she prepared a few attack spells.

"Come at me, ladies!", Vernon said with a smirk. "I'll beat you all and take Le Fay for my bride!"

"Fat chance!", Le Fay said as their battle began.

Now we go to Raynare, Kalawarna, and Mittelt who are fighting with Dohnaseek who is holding his own against the trio.

"When did he get this strong?!", Mittelt said as she dodged a swing of Dohnaseek's light spear only for him to hit her with a kick to the gut! "Oompf!"

"Come on ladies! Give me a challenge!", Dohnaseek laughed.

"I'm so going to get you for that, you jerk!", Mittelt said as she glared at Dohnaseek.

"Looks like you've gotten stronger, Dohnaseek.", Raynare said with a smirk. "Care to tell us how you pulled it off in such a short time?"

"That's my little secret, Raynare!", Dohnaseek said as he tried to hit her only for her to dodge it.

"And here I thought we were friends!", Kalawarna said as she struck Dohnaseek in the back with a stomp kick.

"Looks like time changes people.", Mittlet said as she hit Dohnaseek with a axe kick to his left shoulder.

"To bad it wasn't for the better!", Raynare siad as she hit him in the face with a roundhouse kick knocking him back.

"Why you little...!", Dohnaseek began to say before calming down a bit. "As fun as tt would be to end you three, I'm willing to give you three a chance to join Kokabiel in starting this war!"

"Are you serious?!", Raynare questioned as her aura began to rise.

"Of course I am!", Dohnaseek said. "And with you, Azazel's daughter, on our side more of our fellow Fallen will join us!"

"Never!", Raynare yelled. "I'm all up for a good fight, but not war! Father wants peace, and I will stand by his side! Always!"

"So will I!", Mittelt said as she and Kalawarna hovered next to Raynare.

"Looks like you're out of luck, Dohnaseek.", Kalawarna said.

"Surrender now and maybe father will go easy on you.", Raynare said as she pointed her light spear at him.

"Such a shame. I was hoping you three would wise up and jon us.", Dohnaseek said with a sigh. "Anyway! I'm going to end this crap!", he said as his light spear began to glow brighter. "Farewell, my old friends! I wish things could have gone better! Rain of Holy Light!", he shouted as he threw his light spear up high into the air.

The three ladies looked up to see Dohnaseek's light spear fly into the air and vanish only for a bright blue light to flash followed by multiple blue beams rain down towards Raynare, Kalawarna, and Mittelt.

"Crap!", Kalawarana said as she along with Raynare and Mittelt combined their powers to form a barrier to block the attack.

"That won't help you!", Dohnaseek said knowing how powerful his attack was.

And he was right as the beams broke through their barrier after a few hits pelting the three hard and fast! Dohnaseek laughed as he watched the three Fallen ladies get hit by his attack. Their screams of pain were music to his ears as the attack pelted them painfully. Soon the attack had ended and Dohnaseek watched as the smoke slowly cleared.

"That should do it.", Dohnaseek said waiting for their bodies to drop. "I'll take them back with us and force them to jon us.", he said as he saw that none of them fell to the ground. "Huh?! Where are they?!"

As the smoke cleared, Dohnaseek saw that Raynare, Mittelt, and Kalawarna were still hovering in the air panting. They were battered and bruised but still conscious.

"How?! How are you still able to fight?!", Dohnaseek questioned.

"Did you think you were the only one who got stronger!", Kalawarna said as her aura began to rise along with Mittelt and Raynare.

"We trained and trained hard!", Mittelt said. "And now we're going to take you down!"

"Blasted all!", Dohnaseek said.

"Last chance to give up, Dohnaseek!", Raynare said as she narrowed her eyes.

"Never!", Dohnaseek snapped. "I will defeat you amd make you join us, Raynare!", he yelled as he flew at them.

"Have it your way.", Raynare said as she Mittelt, and Kalawarna fired a combined blast of power at Dohnaseek sending him flying and crashing to the ground.

"That should do it.", Mittelt said before she along with Raynare and Kalawarna fell to the ground drained from their fight.

Thankfully, they were saved as Vali jumped up and caught Mittelt, Lucas jumped up and caught Raynare, and Issei jumped up and caught Kalawarna.

"Hey.", Mittelt said witha weak smile.

"Nice catch.", Raynare joked with a smile.

"Fancy see you here.", Kalawarna said with a smile. "How are the others?"

"Still fighting.", Issei said. "But they'll be over with soon."

"I must say that I'm impressed with how you three took down Dohnaseek.", Kokabiel said with a smirk. "I trained him very hard and he still lost to you three. Very impressive indeed."

"Please stop this, Kokabiel!", Raynare said. "We don't need another war!"

"My dear, Raynare. You're to much like your father.", Kokabiel siad. "Wanting peace thinking it's for the greater good, when the other factions won't agree to it. And I'm talking about all factions. Not just the big three."

"And you think another war is the answer?!", Vali questioned. "You're mad!"

"We all have a bit of madness in us, Vali.", Kokabiel said. "I just decided to embrace mine."

"We will stop you, Kokabiel!", Lucas said.

"You're free to try.", Kokabiel said with a smirk. "But for now, let's see how our mages are doing.", he said as he made an image of Vernon fighting Le Fay, Kurka, and B-Ko appear next to him on what looked like a screen of light.

Speaking of which, we have said ladies as they're fighting Vernon who is holding his own against them as he dodges a shot from B-Ko's blaster only to get kicked by Kuroka followed by Le Fay who hit him with a fireball that knocked him back even further, but he then jumped to his feet and sent a wave of wind at the ladies knocking them back only for B-Ko to throw a small metal ball that opened up unleashing an explosion that knocked him back.

"What was that?", Le Fay asked.

"Magi-Tech grenade.", B-Ko said. "I have different types. That one was a powerful stun type.", she explained as Vernon got to his feet.

"I've heard of this Migi-Tech, and thought of it as some kind of joke.", Vernon said as he dusted himself of a bit. "Looks like I'll have to take it more seriously.", he said as he summoned a ball of electricity and threw it at B-Ko.

"Nice try!", B-Ko said as she summoned a shield that absorbed he attack. "But I'm ready for that too!", she said as she fired her blaster at Vernon who dodged the attack along with using his power to flash a bright light at the girls blinding them a bit along with him vanishing and appearing behind B-Ko.

"Are you ready for this?", Vernon said as he reached for her only for Kuroka to deck him in the jaw.

"Were you ready for that?", Kuroka asked with a smirk as he eyes were closed.

Surprised by this, Vernon was sent rolling to thr ground.

"But how were you...", Vernon questioned as he got to one knee while wiping his lip.

"I may not of been able to see you, but I was able to sense you.", Kuroka said as her vision cleared. "Not to mention smell you.", she said with a smirk.

"Stinking Nekomata!", Vernon said with a sneer. "Once I defeat you, I'm turning you into a cat!"

"Not going to happen!", B-Ko said as she blasted Vernon with her blaster followed by Le Fay hitting him with a blast of magic stunning him.

"It's over, Vernon!", Le Fay said. "Surrender now and maybe the Golden Dawn will show you some mercy!"

"After all this, you think I'm just going to surrender?!", Vernon questioned with a grin as his aura began to rise. "If I can't have you, my dear little Le Fay, then no one will!", he snapped as he began to do a strange chant that scared Le Fay and B-Ko.

"He's not doing what I think he's doing!", B-Ko said. "Is he?!"

"I'm afraid so!", Le Fay said. "He's gathering all his mana together and then going to unleash it in an explosion taking us out with him!"

"No he's not!", Kuroka said as she dashed at Vernon and struck him in the side with her right hand piercing him causing him to stop his chant as he placed his hand over the wound he now had followed by Le Fay who began to drain a large amount of his mana weaken him.

"You mangy beast!", Vernon snapped as he jumped away from Kuroka. "You'll payt for that!"

"Give up, Vernon! It's over!", Le Fay said as she continued to drain him of his mana.

"You should have let me die, Le Fay!", Vernon said. "That way you'd be free of my curse! But now, it seems you'll have to live with it a bit longer!", he said as he use what little power he had left to cast a spell that unleashed a blinding light that blinded the girls long enough for him to escape by teleporting.

"Where'd he go!", B-Ko asked.

"I don't know, but if he doesn't take care of the wound I gave him, he won't last long.", Kuroka said.

"And with most of his mana drained, he'll have to hide somewhere so he can regain his strength.", Le Fay said.

"We should we go after him, but he could be anywhere right now.", B-Ko said.

"Let's head back to the others and go from there.", Kuroka said as they headed back.

"Hmmmmmm... Kitty has claws.", Kokabiel said as he along with the other watched what happened. "That Vernon was a fool to think he stood a chance against those ladies."

"Couldn't agree more, Kokabiel.", Vali said. "Mind showing us how our sword fighters are doing?"

"Not at all. I was wondering the same thing myself.", Kokabiel said as she switched to see how Arthur, Irina, Xenovia, and Kiba were fairing.

As for the party of Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Jeane, and A-Ko who were fighting the other mages and Fallen, they made quick work of them, and were now joined up with Issei, Vali, Lucas, and the three Fallen.

"Should we go help them?", A-Ko asked as they watched the sword-wielder fight.

"Nah! They got this.", Lucas said.

"I will not stand by and let one of me servants fight that monster Freed alone!", Rias said.

"Relax, Rias.", Issei said. "Kiba will be fine."

"Besides. Irina, Xenovia, amd Arthur are there to help.", Lucas said just as Le Fay, Kuroka, and B-Ko showed up.

"What did we miss?", B-Ko asked.

"Nothing much.", Vali said. "Just one last fight before the main event.", he said as they watched the battle of the sword wielders.

"Well that was easy.", Irina said as she, Xenovia and Arthur defeated the mages with ease and were now watching Kiba and Freed dual. "He's going to lose, isn;t he?"

"Yes.", Xenovia said as she readied her Excalibur Destruction. "When should we jump in?"

"Wait.", Arthur said. "The dual isn't over with yet.", he said just as Freed destroyed Kiba's sword.

"Now that was fun!", Freed said as he smiled with glee. "Now to finish you off!"

"Wait, Freed.", Valper said.

"What is it now, Valper?!", Freed asked wanting to finish Kiba off.

"Here boy!", Valper said as he tossed Kiba a blue gem.

"What is this?", Kiba asked.

"Let me tell you a story, young man.", Valper said. "When I was a child, I was told about the great Excalibur and it sparked something in me. I wished to wield the sword and become a mighty warrior! Only when I was old enough and had joined the church, I learned that I didn't have the power to wield the blade. That's when I decided to find a way to get said power to weild the mighty sword."

"Don't tell me that you started the Holy Sword Project because of a childhood dream.", Arthur said.

"Indeed I did, Mr. Pendragon.", Valper said.

"You're mad!", Irina said.

"You sick, twisted fool!", Xenovia said.

"You put all those children through all that pain just to wield the power of Excalibur?!", Arthur questioned. "You make me sick!"

"And yet the church is now using the data from my research to give their warriors the power to weild holy weapons!", Valper said surprising Kiba.

"True, but the church doesn't use the methods you used!", Irina said.

"Say what you want, but I did what needed to be done!", Valper said. "Sadly, though, my research didn't go as I had planned. So I decided to scrub my research and hopefully start over."

"You murdered those children!", Xenovia said.

"Yes.", Valper said. "But out from their deaths came something wonderful! I was able to take their Holy Factor and put it in that stone your friend is holding right now.", he said with a smirk.

"My friends.", Kiba said with a sad smile. "I'm sorry you're still suffering from all of this."

"See it like this, my boy.", Valper said. "Now you can all pass on together.", he laughed.

"Finally!", Freed said as he was about to strike Kiba down.

"No!", Irina cried as she and Xenovia were ready to go to Kiba's aid.

"Stop!", Arthur said as he suddenly felt a surge of power coming from the stone Kiba held.

"What's this?!", Valper questioned as suddenly images of children and teenagers appeared around Kiba. "What is this?!"

"It seems that Kiba's emotions and our battles have given the spirits in the stone the power they needed to come out to aid Kiba.", Arthur figured.

"My friends.", Kiba said surprised to see them.

It was then that one of them smiled at him before they all turned into swirls of light and circled around Kiba.

"It's okay.", one of them said.

"Let's all gather together.", another said.

"Take us in.", another one said. "It's time."

"Carry us with you, always.", another voice said as they merged with Kiba causing him to glow.

"Well this is a surprise.", Issei said as he and the others watched what was going on.

[The Knight as peaked.] Ddriag siad.

[He has reached Balance Breaker.] Ablion said.

"Kiba.", Rias said surprised by her Knight.

Back at the battle, the glow faded showing a more calmer Kiba.

"I see now.", Kiba said. "My friend never wanted me to seek revenge. They only wanted for me to live without vengeance. But that can only happen when I am rid of you, Valper.", he said as he walked towards Valper Galilei.

"No! Stay away!", Valper said as he backed away from Kiba. "Protect me Freed!"

"Here I am!", Freed said as he got in front of Kiba. "Now we finish this, Blondie!"

"It's time for a new sword.", Kiba said as he summoned his Holy Eater sword and held it up. "My fallen friends! Please lend me your power and aid me in this battle!", he called out as his sword glowed and changed.

"It can't be!", Irina said as she saw his new sword.

"Impressive.", Arthur said at the new sword.

"But how?!", Xenovia questioned as she looked at the new sword.

Kiba's new blade was white with black going down the center with ruins along the blade.

"Behold! The Sword of the Betrayer!", Kiba said as he took his battle stance. "A sword born from both light and dark powers!"

"How is this possible?!", Valper questioned. "How can two opposing powers come together like that?!"

"Who cares, old man?! I'm still going to kill him!", Freed said ready to fight. "Then I'll be coming for you next, Quarta! I'll give you a good stripping before I go after Shidu! And then I'll take you all out!"

"Not if I get you first, Freed.", Xenovia said as she walked up to them and stood next to Kiba. "You and I may not get along, but allow me to figth Freed with you, Yuuto Kiba. There are those he has done wrong that I must get justice for."

"Fine by me.", Kiba said.

"Thank you.", Xenovia said as she stuck Excalibur Destruction into the ground and held out her right arm while doing a chant that summoned a blue greatsword that had gold trim. "Behold! The holy sword, Durandal!", she said sas she grabbed Excalibur Destruction with her left hand .

"Impossible!", Valper said. "Durandal was never part of my research! No one should be able to handle that blade!"

"In like Irina and Kiba, I an one the rare natural holy sword users.", Xenovia and with a sly smile.

"Ooooooo! This just got more fun!", Freed siad as she charged at Kiba and Xenovia. "Let's see what you've got!"

Saying nothing Xenovia and Kiba charged into battle.

"Well now. This is a interesting turn of events.", Kokabiel said.

"So, she can wield Durandal.", Vali said impressed with how things were going.

"Can they win this?", Rias asked.

"No doubt!", Lucas said as they watched the fight.

Try as he could, Freed was losing the fight. He was going head to head with them at first. He was even able to dodge most their attacks at first, but soon he was on the deference as all he could do was block their attacks as he tried to gain the upper hand.

"Blast you both!", Freed snapped as he jumped away from Kiba and Xenovia.

"What's the matter, Freed?", Xenovia with a smirk. "I remember you being able to take on three to four opponents when sparring during your days with the church. Don't tell me that you've gotten slow."

"All that talk was just that.", Kiba said. "Talk!"

"Why you... I'll end you!", Freed yelled as he charged at Xenovia and Kiba.

"Time to end this!", Kiba said.

"Gladly!", Xenovia said as she dashed at Freed.

Once they were close to each other, Xenovia did a "X" formation slash at Freed destroying the fused Excalibur leaving the four cores from the blades that were fused.

"Aw crap!", Freed said as he dropped the hilt of the destroyed blade.

"It's over, Freed!", Xenovia said as she pointed Durandal at him. "Surrender now and the church might show you some mercy.", she said as she narrowed her eyes at him.

"Bite me, Quarta!", Freed snapped as he glared at her.

"Looks like we'll have to take you in by force.", Xenovia said.

"How?! How can it be possible?!", Valper questioned. "How can those powers be fused to make that sword.", he questioned as he looked at the blade Kiba had. "It shouldn't be possible to do that! Unless... Ahhhh!"

Valper was cut off when he was suddenly impaled by a light spear from Kokabiel who was watching everything with the others on the light screen he made with his powers. Followed by Freed taking his chance to escape by using a smoke bomb to cover his exit.

"Sorry, Valper, but I can't have you spoiling my little surprise.", Kokabiel said with a smirk. "Besides. You've more than out lived your purpose."

"What was that all about?!", Irina questioned as Valper was destroyed by Kokabiel's attack.

"I have no idea.", Kiba said. "But I think we need to get back to the others."

"I agree.", Xenovia said as she gathered the four cores fom the Excalibur blades.

"Let us be off then.", Arthur said as they made their way back to the others.

'And with what back-up spell Valper did dispelled, Kuoh is safe.', Arthur said as they made their way back to the others. 'From that at least.', he thought knowing that Kokabiel still needed to be dealt with.

"What surprise are you talking about, Kokabiel?!", Rias asked in a demanding tone.

"It's quite the surprise really. But first I have a surprise for you all.", Kokabiel said. "A little something that I borrowed from Hades!", the Cadre said as he snapped his fingers.

It was ten that three massive magic circle appeared on the battlefield surprising our heroes. Suddenly, three massive beast appeared before them ready to fight. They were the legendary three headed hounds of Hades!

"Cerberus?!", Rias questioned. "He has Cerberus to fight us?!"

"Well this just got interesting!", Bikou said ready to fight.

"Let's see how you handle these puppies!", Kokabiel said just as Arthur, Kiba, Ireina, and Xenovia showed up. "Attack, and destroy them!"

"That's not good!", Kiba said ready to attack only for Irina and Xenovia to step forward.

"Stay your hand, Kiba.", Xenovia said calmly.

"Are you serious?!", Kiba said as the Cerberus charged at the others. "We have to help hem!"

"No we don't.", Irina said with a smile as she saw Lucas, A-Ko, and B-Ko stepped up as he three Cerberus were ready to pounce. "It's all taken care of.", she said.

End of Chapter Seven

A/N: That's another chapter, folks! Four battles down, two more to go! More to come before you know it! And in case if some of you are wondering, no I didn't go into Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Jeane, Bikou, and A-Ko's battle with the mages and Fallen because I didn't feel like it was worth it. I mean, they were fighting normal Fallen and mages. I may do a flashback in which I show the battle. Maybe.

Please review.
