Chapter Twelve:
The day of the big meeting came and Lucas woke up to Tsubaki cuddled up to him after the interesting night they had. Granted, how the evening started was pretty interesting.
(Flashback)
"Tomorrow night is going to be interesting.", Lucas said as he was in his bedroom laying on his bed dressed in a pair of blue sleeping pants while listening to some music on his radio when his cell phone rang. "It's Tsubaki. Wonder what's up.", he said as he answered the phone. "Hey, Tsubaki! What's up? Am I home? Yeah. Why?", he asked when she hung up. "Ooooookay. That was weird.", Lucas said when a magic circle appeared in his room. "Never mind.", he said as Tsubaki teleported into his bedroom dressed in a white silk thin strapped night gown.
"Ummmm... Hi.", Tsubaki said with a small smile.
"Hi.", Lucas said as he sat up in his bed smiling at Tsubaki. "Not that I'm complaining, but what brings you here?"
"I... I just... I just wanted to spend the night with you.", Tsubaki said with a slight blush.
"Just spend the night?", Lucas said as he got up from his bed and walked over to Tsubaki.
"Well...", Tsubaki said as her blush deepened while she looked down at the floor.
It was then that Lucas took his right index finger and lifted up Tsubaki's chin so that they were face to face.
"It's just you and me here, Tsubaki.", Lucas said. "Tell me what you want."
"I... I... I want you to take me!", Tsubaki said. "Take me and make me one of your mates!", she said which got her a kiss from Lucas as he wrapped his arms around her waist and held her close as she returned the kiss while wrapping her arms around Lucas' neck.
"As you wish.", Lucas said as they went and laid down on the bed together. "Are you sure about this? For once we do this, there's no turning back.", he said only to have Tsubaki claim his lips with a kiss.
"I'm sure.", Tsubaki said. "Make me one of your mates."
No words were said as shared another kiss followed by Lucas removing Tsubaki's night gown.
(End Flashback)
'Never thought this would happen so soon.', Lucas thought to himself as Tsubaki began to wake up as her eyes fluttered open.
"Good morning.", Lucas said with a smile that Tsubaki returned before they shared a kiss.
"Good morning.", Tsubaki said as she moved some of her hair from her face. "I hope I wasn't bad last night."
"Bad?! You were... Wow! Just... Wow!", Lucas said causing Tsubaki to blush with a smile.
"I'm glad.", Tsubaki said. "I was so nervous about tonight, that I figured I'd come here to be with you."
"And how are you now?", Lucas asked.
"Better.", Tsubaki said as she cuddled up to Lucas more. "Can we stay like this for a bit longer? I like how it feels.", she said getting a kiss on her forehead from Lucas.
"Of course. We got enough time to relax before school.", Lucas said as he and Tsubaki enjoyed each others company.
Later that day, Lucas had met up with Sona in the Student Council Office for lunch like they always do to have lunch together. It was one of the things they enjoyed doing together. They had their privacy as they ate and talked about small stuff. But today was a bit different, as they had something important to talk about.
"I still can't believe they're having the meeting here, of all places.", Sona said before she ate some of her lunch. "They could of had it in any place with better protection, yet they have it here!"
"Well what better place to set a trap then putting yourself out in the open?", Lucas questioned. "I just wish they didn't use Gasper as bait to lure the Khoas Brigade out into the open."
"At least we have a plan to keep him safe.", Sona said.
"To be honest, I hope the Khoas Brigade doesn't show up.", Lucas said before taking a drink of his juice.
"You and me both.", Sona said as they both finished their lunches. "But for now how about we finish our lunch like we always do.", she said with a playful smirk as she stood up from he desk.
"Why break our routine?", Lucas questioned as Sona walked around her desk and up to Lucas and shared a kiss with him as he placed his hands on her waist and lifted her up and sat her on her desk as they continued to make out before they had their post-lunch romp.
Soon night came and it was time for the meeting of the three factions. In the ORC we have Rias Gremory and her peerage ready to go as they were all dressed in their school uniforms.
Well almost everyone.
"I know that you're still getting used to being around people, Gasper, so I'll have you stay here in the ORC with Koneko.", Rias said. "She'll keep you safe while we're away at the meeting."
"Okay.", Gasper said as he was sitting in his box.
"I'll keep him safe.", Koneko said before eating a chip.
"Now remember to keep your powers in check, Gasper.", Rias said to her Bishop. "The last thing we need is for your powers to go off and freeze some of us in time."
"Don't worry! I have better control of my powers now!", Gasper said as he turned on his portable game system and began to play it putting her mind at ease.
"Okay, everyone. Let's go!", Rias said as she headed for the door with the others behind her.
As they were heading to the room, where the meeting was going to be held, Issei stopped as he checked his pockets for something but...
"Aw, man!", Issei said getting everyone's attention.
"What is it, Issei?", Asia asked.
"I forgot the vial of mild ambrosia Lucas gave me for tonight.", Issei said.
"Why would you need that?", Kiba questioned.
"Dude. We're going to be having three factions here, tonight.", Issei said. "A fight could break out in which we'll have to act to help calm things. I'm going to be needing that mild ambrosia. It's back in the ORC. I'll catch up with you all in a bit!", he said as he headed back to the ORC.
"Don't be long!", Rias said before they headed on to the room of the meeting.
Moments earlier, in the Student Council Office, we have Sona and Tsubaki who are ready to go to the meeting while the rest of the Sitri Peerage stays behind ready for anything to happen.
"This is it.", Sona said as she turned to her peerage, who like the Gremory Peerage, were dressed in their school uniforms. "Momo, I'm leaving you in charge. I need you all to be ready for anything and ready to act."
"Right!", her peerage said just as Lucas teleported into the room.
"Ladies.", Lucas said as he stood before them dressed in a pair of black pants, shirt, shoes, and long coat.
"Looking good!", Saji said before she walked up to Lucas and gave him a kiss that he returned.
"Thanks.", Lucas sais before turning to Sona and gave her a kiss. "You ready?"
"Ready as I'm going to be.", Sona said.
"Then let's kick it!", Lucas said as they left the office with Tsubaki.
"Good luck.", Momo said as she and the rest of the peerage stayed in the office hoping for the best.
As they were heading down the hall to the meeting room, A-Ko and B-Ko suddenly telported a few feet in front of them dressed in their school uniforms, from Nochizuri Prep, which was a matching white blouse and jackets with white socks and black shoes with a black tie.
"What's up, guys?!", A-Ko asked with a smile.
"It's good to see you two again.",Tsubaki said as she and B-Ko shook hands.
"Like wise.", B-Ko said. "It took me a while to sense where Lucas was. But once I did, I was able to teleport A-ko and myself here."
"Well glad you could make it.", Lucas said. "Now let's get going before we're late."
"Agreed.", Sona said as they continued their way to the meeting room.
Once there, they saw that the three leaders were already there, sitting at a round table. In one chair was Sirzechs with his wife, Grayfia, standing behind him, while Serafall sat next to him. Next to her was a man with blonde hair with blue eyes and a halo over his head. You didn't have to be a genius to see that it was Lord Micheal. Standing behind him were Irina and Xenovia along with another person. He was Irina's father, Touji Shidu. Of course Irina an Xenovia waved to Lucas and the girls, happy to see then as they stood there in their church robes. And, of course, there was Azazel sitting next to Micheal with Raynare, Mittelt, and Kalawarna standing behind him each dressed in the same battle attire they wore during the battle with Kokabiel along with Vali who was dressed in his normal attire. In one of the the last two chairs was Zeus who was in his traditional garb while sitting next to hia was a Asian, middle-aged Dragon-Kin who had black hair and brown eyes who's ten red and white dragon wings and tail were out as he was dressed in a black business suit.
"Master Yung?!", Lucas questioned surprised to see the Dragon-Kin there.
"Greeting, Lucas. It is good to see you again.", Yung said with a kind smile. "And I can see that you have gotten stronger. In more ways than one. I'm proud to see that you have finally gained control of your dragon side. Granted, I was told that it was in a most interesting way.", he said with a grin.
"You have no idea.", Lucas said as he took his position behind Yung while Sona and Tsubaki stood behind Serafall, and A-Ko and B-Ko stood behind Zeus.
A few minute later, the Gremory Peerage showed up and stood behind Sirzechs, with Grayfia. But not before shooting Sona a look that told Sona that things were not okay between them still.
"Now that everyone is finally here, we can get started.", Sirzechs said.
"Let me start things off by apologizing for Kokabiel and his actions.", Azazel said as he stood up. "He may have gone rogue, but I should have kept a better eye on him."
"If I may ask, what did you do with him?", Sirzechs asked.
"He's been sealed in Cocytus.", Azazel said.
"Now that's cold.", Lucas said.
"You have no idea.", Zeus said with a grin.
"Anyway, I'm sorry about what happened and I'll do my best to see that it doesn't happen again.", Azazel said as he sat back down.
"I would like for those there at the battle to give a full report on what happened.", Sirzechs said.
"Of course.",Rias said as she got ready to give her report.
"Actually, I have a better way to show what happened.", Vali said stepping forward.
"Oh? And what way would that be?", Serafall questioned.
"That's your cue, Le Fay.", Vali said.
"Oh! I've been waiting on this!", Lucas said waiting for the mage, who he hasn't seen since the battle with Kokabiel, to appear when a set of female hands covered his eyes from behind.
"Have you now?", a female voice said earning gasp from some people who saw who the woman was.
"Le Fay?", Lucas questioned as her recognized the voice a bit. "You sound a bit different."
"Well wait until you see the new me.", Le Fay said as she removed her hands from Lucas' eye allowing him to turn around to see what she looked like.
"Whoa!", Lucas said as he got a good look at the now curse free Le Fay Pendragon.
She now looked her proper age of seventeen, with long blond hair that went down to to her rear. She had her hat with a blue cape and a long sky blue skirt with a black belt that had slits on both sides to allow better movement for her along with a white mid-drift long-sleeved top that had a diamond shaped hole in the chest area that showed off her cleavage with brown boots and her staff that she held in her right hand. As for her figure, well let's just say that she could give Irina and Xenovia a very good run for their money.
"So? What do you think?", Le Fay asked as she did a quick spin for Lucas.
"Ummmmmm... Wow!", Lucas said getting a giggle from Le Fay.
"Le Fay. Chain of Memories.", Vali said.
"R-Right!", Le Fay said before giving Lucas a kiss on the cheek before activating her spell. "Chain of Memories!"
It was then that a ball of light appeared above the table that showed all that happened during the battle with Kokabiel. Including the part where Sona kissed Lucas after he gained control of his transformation as well as, at the end where Sona ran up to Lucas and kissed him, embarrassing both teens as Le Fay recalled the ball of light while their friends nickered and giggled.
"Well that was... interesting.", Sirzechs said with a grin.
"Indeed.", Micheal said with a kind smile.
"Way to go, Lover Boy!", Azazel laughed.
"Sorry, guys.", Le Fay said to Lucas and Sona.
"It's cool, Le Fay.", Lucas said. "Folks were going to find out about me and Sona in time. So it's all good.", he said giving her a smile that she returned.
"Hearing about how you gained control and seeing it are indeed two different things.", Yung said as he stood up. "I thank you all for helping Lucas in his time of need.", he said with a bow before looking towards Sona. "And thank you, Miss Sitri, for being the one to guiding his heart when he needed you.", he said with another bow.
"I... Ummmmmm...", Sona said before gathering herself. "You're welcome, sir.", Sona said with a bow of her own.
"That's my Son-tan!", Serafall said with a smile proud of her sister.
"Now with all that happened confirmed, we can continue on with our meeting.", Sirzechs said.
"Agreed.", Micheal said. "But first, I wish to apologize to you, Asia Argento."
"M-M-Me?!", Asia questioned.
"Yes.", Micheal said. "You should not have been excommunicated from the church for healing a devil. But with how things are with the church, there are those that fear what they do not understand."
"So in other words, they didn't know about her Sacred Gear and how it worked.", Issei said.
"Correct", Micheal said. "Touji Shidu tried to stop them from excommunicating young Asia, but arrived there to late.", he said as Irina's father stepped forward.
"I even tried to tell them about the power of her Sacred Gear, and they still refused to take you back, child.", Touji said sadly. "Kept going on about how the damage was done and that it was to late to take her back. Poppy cock! They just didn't want to admit they were wrong!", he said getting a snicker from Issei and a giggle from Irina.
"Again I do apologize for all you have been through.", Micheal said. "And am thankful for all those that were there for you since then."
"Th-Thank you, sir.", Asia said. "It was quite hard for me at first, but now I've become a bit stronger and hope to become stronger not only for myself, but for my friends as well."
"I pray and that you do well, Miss Argento.", Micheal said with a kind smile.
"Wait a minute!", Issei said. "I do have a favor to ask."
"Issei.", Rias said stopping her Pawn.
"Well I did say that I would hear you out, when I gave you Ascalon.", Micheal said. "What is your favor, Hyoudou?"
"Is it possible for you to allow for Asia to be able to pray without it hurting her?", Issei questioned surprising everyone there.
"Even with all that has happened to you, you still pray?", Micheal questioned Asia.
"I know it huts me, but I still believe.", Asia said with a small smile.
"It's true.", Akeno said. "She still has her bible by her bed. Poor dear hurts herself whenshe tries to read it."
"I see.", Micheal said. "Well..."
"I'm sorry, but this has gone on far enough!", Zeus said as he stood up.
"What are you getting at, old man?", Azazel questioned.
"Even after hearing what this poor girl has gone through, you four still are willing to play this foolish game!", Zeus said as he voice boomed throughout the room. "It's time for the true to be revealed! And you know which truth I'm speaking of!"
"What is he talking about, father?", Raynare asked Azazel.
"Zeus speaks about a very well kept secret for many, many centuries.", Yung said as he stood up from his seat. "One that needs to be revealed before the Khoas Brigade does and causes utter chaos in the supernatural world."
"How can you be so sure about this?", Sirzechs questioned.
"Because one of my fellow Dragon-Kin elders has joined the Khoas Brigade!", Yung said earning gasp from everyone there. "And a good amount for Dragon-Kin went with him."
"I'm afraid to ask, but which elder was it?", Lucas asked.
"Garm.", Yung said causing Lucas to shiver.
"It just had to be him.", Lucas said with a sigh.
"How bad is this Garm guy?", Issei asked.
"Let's just say that he and Kokabiel would get along just fine.", Lucas said.
"That's not good.", A-Ko said.
"But it would make for a good fight.", Vali said with a smirk.
"If I may ask, what truth are you speaking of, Lord Zeus?", Sona asked.
"One that will change your lives.", Zeus said. "It dates back to the time of the dinosaurs. Or should I say when their time came to an end."
"You're talking about the meteor that crashed down to Earth.", Tsubaki said.
"Yes.", Zeus said. "That very meteor also gave birth to the supernatural world that we all know!", he said surprising all the teenagers there.
Well all but Lucas, A-Ko, and B-Ko who just stood there as Zeus continued his story.
"The meteor had certain energies that gave birth to the first dragons.", Zeus continued to explain. "Mainly the drake dragons. And in time the many winged dragons you've heard of over time. As time went by, man came along and evolved. Some say it was because of the energies from the meteor and pieces that broke off as it fell to Earth. Not really sure, but it is a possibility. Anyway, as time went on, I came across a large piece of the meteor in Geece. You can guess what happened when I touched it."
"You got your powers and became the Zeus we all know today.", Rias figured.
"Correct.", Zeus said. "I then brought Hera, who was just a friend at the time, to the meteor and she gained power from it as well. We then brought brought my brothers, Poseidon and Hades to it next. The four of us then decided to move the meteor piece to what you all now know as Mount Olympus. In time, we found more piece of the meteor in Greece and Rome. We also found others to share the power with. Thus forming the Greek and Roman Pantheon."
"The same is to be said about the other pantheon as well.", B-Ko said. "Norse, India, China, Japan, and many more. All got their powers from a piece or pieces of the meteor, in their receptive countries."
"Even the Yokia?", Irina questioned.
"Yes.", B-Ko said. "But that's not all."
"What do you mean?", Kiba questioned.
"It has to do with my kind.", Yung said. "Now most of you know about how the Dragon-Kin came to be. Right?"
"Yes.", Sona said. "Long ago, some powerful dragons went and used their shape-shifting powers to become human and mated with some people.", she began to explain. "In time, half-dragon children were born. And those children grew up and had children of their own. Children who looked more human than dragon. As they grew up, they became stronger in their power awakening their inner dragon. They are the ones known as the first Dragon-Kin."
"And our kind have flourished ever since.", Yung said with a bit of pride. "But at one time, there were a Ryu-Type Dragon-Kin and a Wyvern-Type Dragon-Kin who wanted more in power. So they went searching for the one thing that could give them said power."
"A piece of the meteor.", Xenovia said.
"Yes.", Yung said. "They searched and searched. And with our lifespan, they had plenty of time. But eventually, they found what they wanted. A huge piece of meteorite. Where they found it, no one knows. But it had enough power to make them powerful enough to form their own factions."
"What factions were they?", Sona asked fearing the answer.
"Why ask a question you already know the answer to, young lady?", Zeus asked knowing that Sona knew the answer.
"The devils and angels. It makes sense", Sona said as she brought out her wings. "Our wings are dark, like wyverns while a ryu dragons has have bird-like wings. Thus, the angels."
"I guess the gig is up.", Azazel said. "It's like Sitri said. Those two Dragon-Kin went and got enough power to to pose as God and Satan. But there was a side effect from them draining the power from the same meteor piece. One they used to their advantage."
"What kind of side effect?", Sona asked.
"They became polar opposites of each other.", Sirzechs said. "And any of their children got the same thing. Along with those we turn."
"Which is why their power can harm us and vice-versa.", Serafall said.
"How long have you known this?", Rias asked her brother.
"Almost a week now.", Sirzechs said. "Zeus told me about it the day after your open house. I then went to the elders about it who admitted to it being true."
"Sirzechs then told me about it, and we decided that we would see if Micheal and Azazel knew about it after the meeting.", Serafall said. "But then Zeus went and spilled the beans.", she said with a pout.
"If he didn't say anything, I would have.", Yung said. "The truth must be told by those who are trusted and can lead the people towards a better tomorrow."
"If the Khaos Brigade does this, the they'll turn more towards their cause.", Zeus said. "Something we can not let happen. Not when we're so close to peace between all factions and pantheons."
"Agreed.", Micheal said. "Perhaps we were wrong in keeping all of this a secret."
"Perhaps, but to be honest who would believe it?", Azazel questioned.
"I still find it hard to believe.", Issei said. "But then why does it hurt our kind if we pray. Not to mention crosses and holy water along with other holy items?"
"When it comes to praying harming your kind, it is a kind of mental suggestion that praying will harm you.", Micheal explained. "Along with you reading the Bible."
"One that has been passed on from generation to generation.", Sirzechs said.
"What about the Fallen?", Asia asked. "How can they fall when they really are Dragon-Kin?"
"Well, our old man made it so that if any of us were to turn from his way of things, our wings would turn black and we would get kicked out from the Heaven he made.", Azazel explained. "Which, by the way, is actually another dimension he discovered and made his home for his "angels" to live."
"The same can be said about the Underworld.", Serafall said.
"Now as for he Dragon-Kin part, the truth is that you're not fully awakened Dragon-Kin.", Yung said.
"The Ryu-Type and Wyvern-Type who posed as the Biblical Lord and Devil made it so that the rest of us wouldn't become full Dragon-Kin so to fool the mortals.". Azazel explained. "That and to make sure none of their children would grow powerful enough to over throw them."
"Which means that the true God and Satan are not dead.", Yung said. "They are very much alive and kicking."
"So all this time, we've been living a lie.", Rias said. "We're actually Dragon-Kin who haven't fully awakened."
"At least not yet, that is.", Yung said with a smile.
"They gave the okay?!", Lucas questioned getting a nod from Yung.
"With the threat of the Khaos Brigade, along with Garm defecting to the their side, the other Dragon-Kin elders agreed with me in doing the awakening.", Yung said.
"What kind of awakening?", Mittelt asked.
"The one where you become fully awakened Dragon-Kin.", Yung said as he summoned forth a ball of light that flashed different colors. "This is the powers of not only me but other powerful Dragon-Kin that I can use to make you into full Dragon-Kin. It will not be a pleasant change as you will be changed inside and out."
"With the Khaos Brigade out there, we need to do this.", Sirzechs said getting nods of agreement from Serafall, Micheal, and Azazel.
"So what do we have to do?", Kalawarna asked.
"Just brace yourselves for the surge of power.", Lucas said. "You better call the rest of your peerage over, Sona."
"Y-Yeah.", Sona said as she formed a small communication circle and contacted her peerage telling them to come to the meeting room asap.
A few seconds later the rest of the Sitri Peerage teleported to the room curious about what was going on.
"What's going on, Sona?!", Momo asked.
"It's complicated, Momo.", Sona said. "Simply put, you are here to go through a change along with some of us."
"A change?", Saji questioned .
"You'll see.", Lucas said.
"Let us begin.", Yung said as held up the orb of power. "I call on the powers of my fellow Dragon-Kin to awaken the inner dragon in those here and make them true Dragon-Kin!", he commanded unleashing the power from the orb.
It was the that the energies poured out from the orb and flowed out through the room. It was then that everyone except Lucas, A-Ko, B-Ko, Irina, Xenovia, Touji, Zeus, and Yung doubled over in pain as they were becoming full Dragon-Kin. All they others could do was watch as the change was happening. Well Irina and Xenovia went to be by Asia's side to give her any comfort she needed while A-Ko went to be by Saji's side and B-ko went to be by Tsubaki's side. As for Lucas, he was by Sona's side as she was going through her change.
"It's almost over, Sona.", Lucas said as he held her hand. "It's almost over."
It took a few more minutes but soon the pain they were going through began to fade as they slowly got to their feet glad that it ws over with.
"How you feeling?", Lucas asked Sona.
"Glad that it's over.", Sona said as sweat was pouring down her face.
"That was intense!", Issei said. "But I feel more powerful than I was before.", he said as the Boosted Gear appeared on his left arm.
[That would be your power as a true Dragon-Kin flowing through you, partner.] Ddriag said.
"Incredible.", Issei said as he looked down at his hands.
"I can get used to this.", Vali said with a smile as he felt the power flow through him just as the Divine Divider appeared on his back.
[This certainly does change things, Vali'] Albion said.
"Indeed it does.", Vali said.
"So this is what it's like to be a Dragon-Kin.", Sirzechs said. "I wonder.", he said as he brought out his wings.
Once he did this, he was surprised to see that he now had twelve black and red dragons wings along with a black and red dragon tail coming out from the small of his back. Surprised by this, the other former devils, angels and Fallen did the same to see that they too had dragon tails and wimgs. Well, the Micheal, Azazel, Raynare, Kalawarna, and Mittelt's wings still had feathers seeing as they were of the Ryu-type Dragon-Kin.
"So why is my tail different from Sirzechs?", Serafall asked as she saw that her tail, like Sona's, was blue with a elegant pink fin at the end that looked as if it was flowing in water while her wings were black with a some shades of blue on them.
"You have the power of water while Sirzechs has the power of destruction.", Yung explained. "That is the way we Dragon-Kin are."
"This is going to take some getting used to.", Saji said as she waved her tail a bit. "Why does it feel a bit sore?"
"Your body is still adjusting to having a tail.", Lucas said. "Not to mention the change in your wings. You'll be okay in a day or... Oh you've got to be kidding me! They pick now to do this?!", he questioned as he along with everyone else sensed a lot of auras outside the school.
"It seems that we have company.", Azazel said as they all saw an army of mages appearing outside in tne air and on the ground.
Suddenly an explosion was heard from the ORC surprising Rias and her peerage.
"Oh no! Gasper! Koneko!", Rias cried out.
"It's okay, Rias!", Issei said. "They're fine!"
"What are you talking about?!", Rias questioned. "That explosion may have killed them!"
"If they were there, it would have", Lucas said. "Thankfully, they're not."
"What are you talking about?", Kiba questioned.
"Remember when I went back to the ORC to get the mild ambrosia?", Issei asked getting a nod from Rias. "Well I also teleported Koneko and Gasper to Lucas' house to keep them safe.", he confessed surprising Rias and the rest of the Grmeory Peerage.
"Why did you do that?!", Rias questioned.
"Because Issei and I believed that Gasper would be a target for the Khaos Brigade and would attack during the meeting.", Lucas said.
"And how did you know this would happen?", Kiba questioned.
"I... have my sources.", Lucas said thinking about Raynare who said nothing as she did her best not to smile.
"So why didn't you tell me about your plan?", Rias asked. "I am your King after all!"
"Would you have agreed to Gasper and Koneko being in my place with Kuroka?", Lucas questioned shutting Rias up.
"Well if they're at your home, what was that explosion?", Momo questioned.
"That would be two of Bikou's energy clones that he set to explode when attacked.", Vali explained just as Bikou and Arthur entered the room via teleporting. "Nice job with the clones."
"Thanks.", Bikou said with a smirk just as Zeus formed a barrier around everyone.
It was then that the roof was blown away exposing everyone to the enemy. As everyone looked up they saw that the three factions forces were battling the Khaos Brigades' forces. Some were trying to get through Zeus' barrier, but each time someone attacked it, they got a powerful shock from the barrier.
"Time to fight!", Issei said before Master Yung stopped him.
"Your bodies are still adjusting to the change!", Yung said. "You and Vali might adjust faster due to your Sacred Gears, but it'll be a few minutes."
"Crap!", Issei said.
"Ddriag! Albion! How long will it take to get your host up and going?", Azazel asked the two dragons.
[It'll take a about seven to ten minutes.] Albion said.
[But we can get it done.] Ddraig said as he and Albion began to help their host adjust faster.
"I can keep this up for as long as needed.", Zeus said.
"Good to hear.", Lucas said taking charge. "Bikou and A-Ko! You two take the ground mages at the front of the school!"
"Done!", A-Ko said as she formed magic circle under herself.
She then transformed her clothes into the same outfit she wore during the fight against Kokabiel and his forces. She then summoned her spear and jumped out towards the ground mages that were in front of the school, with Bikou.
"This is going to be fun!", Bikou said ready to fight.
"Oh yeah!", A-Ko said as they landed and got to work fighting the mages.
"B-Ko! Give them some cover fire!", Lucas said.
"On it!", B-Ko said as she went to the window while summoning a sniper rifle. "Let's see how my Magi-tech rifle works.", she said as took aim and began firing at a mage who tried to do a sneak attack on A-Ko, taking them down followed by another who tried to do the same to Bikou.
"Thanks, B-Ko!", A-Ko said with a wave.
"Dang! Glad she's on our side!", Bikou said knocking out a mage.
"If you think that's cool, watch this!", A-Ko said before running around at super speed taking down many mages.
"Now you're just showing off!", Bikou said with a smirk as he continued to fight.
"Arthur! Irina! Xenovia! You got the mages behind the school.", Lucas said getting nods from Irina ans Xenovia
"Consider it done!", Arthur said as he and the two exorcist jumped out towards the back of the school to face the mages
Once on the ground, Arthur summoned Caliburn, while Xenovia and Irina summoned their special swords as they whipped off their robes revealing their their battle attire ready to fight..
"Let us defeat our enemies, Durandal!", Xdenovia said as she charged at the mages.
"Let's go, Hauteclere!", Irina said ready to fight as she along with Arthur charged into battle along with Xenovia.
"Le Fay! Give them some cover fire!", Lucas said to the mage.
"Gotcha!", Le Fay said as she summoned her broom and flew down to where her brother and exorcist were fighting giving them cover fire as she hovered in the air.
"Master Yung! I may need you in the air, with me, in just in case Garm is here!", Lucas said as he took to the sky using his Demi-Olympian powers.
"Of course.", Yung said as he extended his wing and took to the sky.
Once high enough in the air , Lucas transformed into his draginoid form and began to take on the mages along side the allied forces. Watching this, from withing the barrier, Zeus couldn't help but be proud of Lucas and how he took charge.
"That's my boy!", Zeus said with pride. "Yung was right in wanting to give him the pieces to form a peerage."
"Is that right?", Azazel questioned with a smirk as he looked up at the battle. "Kid does have some skill."
"Indeed.", Sirzechs said said as he saw Lucas take down five high class mages with a Dragon Shot followed by using some lightning to strike five more mages. "He is one to keep an eye on in the future."
"So awesome!", Serafall said impressed by how powerful Lucas was.
'How powerful is he?', Sona thought to herself.
[That should do it, partner!] Ddraig said to Issei. [You should be good to go!]
"Alright! Time to beat down some mages!", Issei said.
[There! You're ready to go fight, Vali!] Albion said to his host.
"Then let's do this!", Vali said ready to fight.
Issei ans Vali looked at each other and nodded before...
"Balance Breaker!", they both called out summoning their armor and took to the air to fight.
"This just got good!", Azazel said.
"Let us see the Dragon Emperors in action.", Sirzechs said as he along with everyone else watched the battle in the sky unfold.
Once high enough, Issei and Vali fired off their Dragon Shots taking down a large number of mages as the fell to the ground.
"Well look who decided to join the party!", Lucas said a smirk.
"I like to be fashionably late.", Issei joked after punching a mage.
"I just wish there were stronger opponents to fight!", Vali said as he took down a group of mages.
It was then that they sensed two powerful auras. One in front of the school and another in the back.
"Ask and ye shall receive.", Lucas said as they looked down at the two that had showed up.
Moments earlier, in the front of the school, A-Ko and Bikou had defeated plenty of the mages there and were ready to take down the rest when a figure landed in front of them. The person was a tall male Dragon-Kin with blue short hair and green eyes dressed in a pair of white pants with a matching shirt and black sandals with blue dragon wings and tail.
"I was hoping for a good fight tonight", the Dragon-Kin said as he folded his arms across his chest while smirking. "Looks like I'll get what I wanted.", he said as Issei landed a few feet in front of him. "Oh! The mighty Red Dragon Emperor! Now this is the fight I've been craving!"
"Then let's go!", Issei said. "A-Ko! Bikou! Let me have this one! Can't have you guys doing all the work."
"Fine by me.", Bikou said. "But you owe me a sparring match."
"Same here!", A-Ko said. "Can't pass up a chance to duke it out with the Red Dragon Emperor!"
"Done!", Issei said before Bikou and A-Ko went off to fight the remaining mages. "So mind telling me your name, before we fight?", he asked the Dragon-Kin. "I'm Issei Hyoudou!"
"I am Rongo-Tal!", the Dragojn-Kin said as he transformed into his dragoniod form ready to fight Issei. "You should be honored to see me like this, Issei Hyoudou! Not many Dragon-Kin can transform like I can! Thus making me one of the elite!"
"Elite, huh!", Issei questioned with a smirk. "Then this should be fun!"
{This guy is holding back his power, partner!} Ddriag said through their mental link. {My guess is he's wants to capture you for the Khaos Brigade!}
'Then let's make this a quick fight!', Issei replied as Rongo charged at him.
"Once I defeat you, I'll take you back with me to the Khaos Brigade and move higher in rank!", Rongo said as he got ready punch Issei only for Issei to quickly duck out of the way and strike him in the gut knocking the air out of him. "How... are you... this... powerful?!", he questioned as he dropped to his knees while transforming back to his human form.
"Well I am the Red Dragon Emperor.", Issei said. "I'm stronger than I look."
"I'll remember that the next time we battle, Red Dragon Emperor.", Rongo-Tal said when another Dragon-Kin swopped down and grabbed him while flying away. "Make no mistake about that!"
"Looking forward to it.", Issei said before going after the mages that were left.
Now moments earlier, at the back of the school...
"Well that was easy.", Irina said as she along with Xenovaia and Arthur had beaten the mages in the area.
"Well they were pretty weak.", Xenovia said as Le fay landed next to them.
"They were weak!", Le Fay said. "They figured that huge numbers would give them a victory."
"That or they wanted to tire us out giving someone more powerful comes to finish us off.", Arthur said just as a Dragon-Kin landed in front of them.
"Like him?", Xenovia questioned.
"Yes.", Arthur said as he, Le Fay, Xenovia, and Irina took their battle stance.
The Dragon-Kin had brown hair and gray eyes dressed in a pair of black pants with a mayching tank-top and sandals with red dragon wings and tail.
"Three sword weilders and a powerful mage!", the Dragon-Kin said with a smirk as he transformed into his dragonoid form. "This'll be fun!", he said just as Vali landed in front of him. "And who are you?!"
"I am Vali! The White Dragon Emperor!", Vali said. "And you will be facing me!"
"I was told to capture you, White Dragon Emperor!", the Dragon-Kin said with a smirk. "They didn't say that you had to come unharmed. I am...", he was cut off as Vali hit him with a powerful knee to the gut which knocked the ir out of him.
"I don't care for the names of weaklings.",Vali said as the Dragon-Kin dropped to the ground while changing back to normal. "Pathetic. I was hoping for better."
"I underestimated you. Next time, I'll crush you!", the Dragon-Kin said when another Dragon-Kin swooped down and grabbed him while flying away. "This I promise you, White Dragon Emperor!"
"Well that was a shame.", Vali said. "Let's hope he keeps his word."
[I find that hard to believe.] Albion said.
"Guess we'll have to wait and see.", Vali said as he sensed a powerful aura in the school. "Well now. Looks like we just may get a fight after all.", he said as he took to the air and flew towards the school.
"Le Fay! Go with him! He may need your help!", Arthur said to his sister.
"Already gone!", Le Fay said as she was on her broom and flying catching up with Vali while Arthur, Irina, and Xenovia made their way to the school only for more mages to appear ready to fight them.
"Looks like we'll be getting some more experience fighting mages!", Irina said.
"This will help us in future battles with the Khaos Brigade!", Xenovia said.
"Let us hope that these mages will provide a better challenge!", Arthur said as they charged into battle!
Now at the front of the school, Issei, A-Ko and Bikou had just finished defeating the mages there when they sensed the powerful aura coming from the meeting room and new that something was going down.
"Looks like something bi is going down!", Bikou said getting excited.
"Then let's go!", A-Ko said just as more mages appeared before them. "Or not!"
"A-Ko and I got these clowns, Issei!", Bikou said as he spun his staff. "You go help Vali with whoever it is that has showed up!"
"Good luck!", Issei said as he flew off towards the meeting room.
"So which of you losers wants to go first?!", A-Ko asked with a smirk before the mages charged at her and Bikou.
"Ah! Volunteers!", Bikou said with a smirk as he and A-Ko ran at the mages.
Now up in the meeting room everything was going okay when suddenly two magic circles appeared outside of Zeus' barrier.
"Now what?!", Zeus questioned as two people appeared.
One was a well built male Dragon-Kin with black hair that went down a bit past his shoulders with purple and blue streaks and hazel eyes. He was dressed in a pair of black pants with matching shoes and shirt with a long coat that was closed. Think Neo's outfit from the third Matrix movie. He also had ten white dragon wings and tail. With him was a tall bespectacled female Dragon-Kin with a voluptuous figure along with tan skin. She had long brown hair that was tied into a bun with a headset and blue-grey eyes. She was dressed in a low-cut dress that had a high slit that exposed a large portion of her chest. She had ten black and blue dragon wings and tail that she flicked with pride as she looked at her enemies.
"Well look at we have here.", Azazel said as he looked at the two Dragon-Kin.
"What are you doing here, Katerea?!", Serafall questioned.
"Isn't it obvious, you fake Leviathan?", the one now known as Katerea asked. "I'm here to reclaim the Leviathan name from you along with my families lost honor!"
"So the old faction has truly joined the Khaos Brigade.", Sirzechs said.
"Indeed we have, Sirzechs.", Katerea said with a smirk as she and male Dragon-Kin took to the sky. "With you all like this, I'd be a fool not to take advantage and wipe you all out!", she said just as Vali, Issei, Le Fay, Lucas, and Yung showed up.
"Hello, Garm.", Yung said to the male Dragon-Kin that was with Katerea.
"Yung.", the one now known as Garm said. "It's been a while."
"Indeed it has.", Yung said as he looked at Katerea and saw her wings and tail. "I see that you've awakened the Dragon-Kin in the Khaos Brigade."
"Indeed I have, old friend.", Garm said. "The Khaos Brigade is twice as powerful than it was and will change things in then supernatural world!"
"Change is good, Garm, but their type of change will do more harm that good.", Yung said.
"But in the end, we will no longer have to hide from the Humans!", Garm said. "We'll be free to be ourselves! And not just us! All supernatural beings will be able to walk among the Humans without hiding who they are! Is that not worth fighting for?!"
"You're talking about going to war with the human race, Garm!", Zeus said. "Believe me when I say that the human race will not go down so easily."
"Just like none of us will!", Issei said.
"We'll fight you tooth and nail with everything we've got!", Lucas said. "And that's a promise!"
"It seems that we are outnumbered, Garm.", Katerea said. "I suggest that we take our leave."
"Surely you jest, Katerea.", Garm said with a sneer. "Yung and Zeus is the only real challenges here. The faction leaders are still adjusting to their change, and the children we can take easily!"
"Even in their weakened state, the faction leaders can still be a problem!", Katerea said. "We're leaving. Now!", she said as she aimed her staff upward and fired a shot of yellow energy into the air that exploded. "Count yourself lucky, Serafall! You get to live another day! But when next we meet, you shall fall by my hand!"
"We'll see.", Serafall she and Katerea glared at each other.
"Yes we shall.", Katerea said before turning her attention to Issei and Vali. "It's a shame the two dragon emperors are my enemies. You two could have turned the tide for the Khaos Brigade.", she said with a smirk.
"And it's a shame that someone as fine as you is our enemy." Issei said with a smirk catching Katerea off guard a bit.
"I couldn't agree more with you, Red Dragon.", Lucas said. "I wouldn't mind having a beauty like you by my side in a fight. I wouldn't mind going on a date or two with you as well."
"Flattery will get you no where, boys.", Katerea said trying to hide the slight blush she was developing.
"Just throwing it out there.", Lucas said with a smirk.
Saying nothing, Katerea teleported away just as Arthur, Irina, Xenovia, A-Ko, and Bikou arrived in the room.
"So what we miss?", Bikou asked.
"Until next time!", Garm said before teleporting away along with their forces giving our heroes their first victory against the Khaos Brigade.
"Glad that's over with.", Issei said as he, Vali, Lucas, Le Fay, ans Yung landed among the others.
"You and me both.", Lucas said as he transformed back to normal while Issei and Vali recalled their scale armor.
"I just wish there were stronger opponents.", Vali said.
"I'm sure there will be plenty for you to fight, Vali.", Le Fay said with a grin.
"There will be plenty for you to fight, Vali.", Azazel said as Zeus dropped his barrier. "This isn't the last we've heard from the Khaos Brigade."
"Sadly it is not.", Micheal said. "How long will it take to begin awaken our forces, Master Yung?"
"We have plenty of Dragon-Kin ready, willing, and waiting to go.", Yung said. "We can have all the factions awakened within a month."
"Then let us get started as soon as possible.", Sirzechs said. "The sooner it is done the better prepare we will be for the Khaos Brigade when they attack."
"More Dragon-Kin.", Lucas said. "This is going to be crazy!"
"Speaking of crazy, what were you two thinking flirting with Katerea?!", Serafall questioned Lucas and Issei with her hands on her hips. "She's the enemy!"
"Enemy today, possible ally tomorrow.", Issei said.
"I little love can go a long way.", Lucas said earning some groans from the ladies.
"These kids are something else!", Azazel laughed.
"This promises to be an interesting generation.", Sirzechs said with a grin while Grayfia let out a giggle.
That is until...
"Bring Gasper and Koneko here now!", Rias demanded.
"Relax, Rias.", Issei said hoping to calm his master down. "Gasper is safe and Koneko is having a good time with her sister."
"Yeah, Gremory. Let them be.", Lucas said.
"You stay out of this!", Rias snapped at Lucas with a glare before turning her attention back to Issei. "As for you, my Pawn, I gave you an order! Now get to it!"
"As you wish, Miss Gremory.", Issei said with gritted teeth as he bowed before teleporting away.
"Was that really necessary, Rias?", Akeno questioned her friend.
"I will not be questioned by my servants, Akeno!", Rias snapped surprising her peerage.
"That's enough, Rias!", Sirzechs said getting his sister's attention. "You may be upset with how Issei did things when it came to young Gasper's safety, but for you to yell at him, Lucas, and Akeno the way you did was out of line.", he said. "You may not like Kuroka, due to what you were told about her, but from what the files you gave me, she is a victim of a terrible master. Something that I plan on remedying.", he said just as Issei had teleported back with Gasper, Koneko, and Kuroka. "And as you can see, you Bishop and Rook are just fine."
"Y-Yeah e-e-e-everybody!", Gasper said nervously as he hid behind Issei.
"What we miss?", Koneko asked before she popped some cheese curls in her mouth.
"Are those my Old Bay Cheese Curls?", Lucas asked getting nod from the young Nekomata.
"They looked good so I tried some.", Koneko said before popping another of the cheese curls in her mouth.
"They are quite tasty.", Kuroka said with a small smile.
"Oh brother.", Lucas said with the roll of his eyes while grinning.
"So what did we miss?", Kuroka said as she noticed how most of the people there had dragon tails.
"All will be explained, in time.", Sirzechs said. "But right now, I wish to take you to the... Hmmmmm... I don't think calling our world the Underworld is fitting anymore."
"How about calling it the Dragon Realm?", Saji suggested.
"That's nice, but once everyone is awakened as Dragon-Kin it will be mostly Wyvern-type Dragon-Kin.", Serafall said.
"Oh! How about calling it the Dragon-Kin Wyvern Realm.", Tomoe suggested.
"Wyvern Realm. I like it.", Serafall said with a smile.
"Then that shall be the new name of our world.", Sirzechs said with a kind smile. "And we need you to com e with us, Kuroka to tell your side of things and fully exonerate you of your crimes."
"Very well.", Kuroka said before she turned to hug her sister. "I'll be back, Shirone. I love you."
"I love you, too.", Koneko said as they held each other.
After they ended their hug. Sirzechs teleported away with Grayfia and Kuroka. Once they left, Serafall used her powers to repair the damage that was done to the school before leaving.
"Well this was quite the evening.", Zeus said with a grin. "Things are going to be pretty lively from now on.", he said. "I do believe that you were right about Lucas, Master Yung."
"Right about what?", Lucas asked.
"You will see in time.", Yung said before he and Zeus teleported away.
"Yung is right.", Azazel said. "All of you go home and get some much needed rest and allow your bodies the time needed to adjust to the changes it has gone through. Something tells me that the Khaos Brigade is just getting started.", he said before teleporting away with Raynare, Kalawarna, Mittelt, Vali, Bikou, Arthur, and Le Fay who gave Lucas a kiss on the cheek followed by a wink before teleporting away.
"Well it's time for us to head on back to Nochizuri.", B-Ko said. "It's been... fun."
"Fun nothing!", A-Ko said. "It's been a blast! Catch you all later!", she said before she and B-Ko went and gave Lucas a kiss on his cheeks before they teleported away.
"I guess this is goodbye.", Touji said to Irina ans Xenovia. "For now, that is."
"I'm sorry, father!", Irina said before her father pulled her into a hug comforting her as he began to sob.
"No matter what, I love you, Irina.", Touji said before they ended their hug.
Then, with a kind smile, Touji used his thumb to wipe the tears from his daughter's eyes making her smile before he stepped back from his daughter and...
"Lucas Stone!", Touji called out to the young man. "I'm counting on you to take care of my daughter as well as Xenovia!"
"Uhhhhhh... Okay.", Lucas said getting a smile from Touji as he stood by Micheal who had a kind smile on his face before they teleported away. "What was that about?"
"It's... a long story.", Irina said with a sad smile before she let out a yawn. "Can we go back to your place? I'm a bit tired from fighting all those mages."
"I too could use some sleep.", Xenovia said.
"Sure thing.", Lucas said. "Just let me say goodbye to the Sona and the girls first.", he said before he headed over to Sona and her peerage.
"Is everything okay?", Sona asked.
"No idea.", Lucas said. "But I'm sure I'll find out in time."
"Okay.", Sona said before they shared a kiss. "I'll call you sometime in the afternoon."
"Not if I call you first.", Lucas said as he was about to leave when the rest of the Sitri Peerage stepped up to Lucas. "What is it?", he asked before Tsubaki walked up to him and gve him a kiss followed by Saji, Ruruko, Tomoe, Tsubasa, Reya, and finally Momo. "Wow! Okay then.", he said getting giggles from the Sitiri Peerage.
"Well you did agree to being with all of us.", Sona said with a smirk.
"I can get used to this.", Lucas said just as Irina and Xenovia came walking up to the group.
"It seems that the dragon has found more mates.", Irina playfully teased.
"Well dragons do tend to have multiple mates.", Xenovia said in a teasing tone getting some giggles from the girls.
"And with that, we're out.", Lucas said before he teleported away with Irina and Xenovia leaving the Sitri an Gremory Peerages alone there.
"So all of you all of you are with Lucas?!", Issei questioned getting nods from Sitri Peerage. "I'm almost jealous. Almost."
With everything in order, both peerages teleported back to their homes. Now as for Lucas, once back at his place, he decided to find out wht was going on with Irina and Xenovia after what happened earlier when Irina's father did what he did.
And what they told him surprised him!
End of Chapter Twelve
A/N: And with that we have another chapter done! A ruined peace summit followed by a battle! Granted a major secret was revealed that will change things for everyone! But what happened with Irina and Xenovia? And will Rias get past what happened? And will Kuroka be okay? Find out in the next chapter! Also, I know that some, if not all, of you are questioning why I decided to having all three factions really being incomplete Dragon-Kin who are now becoming full Dragon-Kin. Well for one, dragons are interesting. Plus, it's been an idea that's been swimming around in my head for a while now. So I figured why not go for it and see what the readers think about it. So let me know what you think!
Please review.
