Dance With the Devil
New Epilogue
Disclaimer: I own none of the series involved.
To answer some reviews:
Armiture: I'm sure it wears off after the battle is over. After all, Vali had to hit Issei to use Divide on him again during the Juggernaut Drive incident.
megaslayer321a: Innortal keeps beating me over the head with that too.
aliesterus: Yes, yes I did.
Looking around the battlefield, Ranma frowned as he realized that some people were missing. "Hey, where's Lilith, Atsuko and Kiba?"
"Xenovia and Irina are missing too." Asia pointed out.
"No we're not!" Atsuko said as she walked out from behind a bush carrying a burned and injured Lilith in her arms while Nabiki, Kiba, Xenovia and Irina followed after her. "I went to find them."
"Sorry we missed the last parts of the fight." Kiba said, bowing to everyone. "We got tied up and weren't able to move until Atsuko broke us out of it." Though they certainly felt the last parts of the fight.
"Oh dear!" Asia ran over to Lilith, who was gently placed on the ground by Atsuko, "hold still, I'll heal you."
"Heh, this is the second time you've saved my glorious booty." Lilith smirked at her before looking at Ranma. "Master, you didn't come save me."
"Sorry, was busy with the giant flying monster and then I fought Vali after he went and kicked me into Azazel."
Lilith blinked, she'd have to get more information about that later. For now she just laid back and enjoyed the healing energies.
"Oh!" Kiba's eyes widened and he looked at Michael, Serafall and Sirzechs and sighed as he saw they were all there. "You're all okay then? That's good, I was worried that someone got hit by that sword beam."
"I was." Grayfia, with her clothes repaired, stated as she bowed. "Thanks to Lady Leviathan and Asia Argento, I managed to survive."
"Indeed," Sirzechs said as he looked at his wife. "When we get home, we will need to talk." Grayfia blinked at him, confused as to why he would say that, but nodded slowly.
Turning, the Devil King saw Ranma being helped by Azazel over to them. "I was under the impression you weren't a Devil. May I ask how and what you did out there?"
Ranma sighed, wondering how to explain it. "To make a long story short, Nabiki thought she was still being chased by hunters and I became a Devil to give her protection."
"That wasn't a normal power you had." Sirzechs noted. "Though it was mostly Youki and not Devil magic, it was still an incredible amount."
Ranma sighed heavily. "Would you believe that I was given a King's piece and used that to turn into a Devil?" Sirzechs's eyes widened in shock. "Look, I ain't got any idea how it works, I was just trying to help Nabiki out, okay?"
"We'll have to talk about this later." Sirzechs said to Ranma. "For now, allow me to give you my thanks for fighting against the Khaos Brigade."
Ranma smiled at him. "Hmm, I was wondering, you know the guy that created the Evil Piece system?"
"Lord Beelzebub? Yes, I know of him."
"I have a question for him regarding Evil Pieces, I figured the guy who created them would know more than anyone about them."
"I can ask and see if he can visit you some time." Sirzechs nodded, "however, it will have to be after we have a talk about that power you have."
"That's fine." Ranma shrugged at the Devil King. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'd like to get this power clamped down on again." He pulled the arm bracer from somewhere and put it back on his arm, a magic circle forming on it as it sealed up the King's piece power inside of him.
"You know, since we're asking for favors..." Issei began as he walked up to Michael. "Could I ask you for one?"
"Should it be within my power, I have no problem granting a request." Michael smiled at the young Devil. "What is it?"
Issei looked at Xenovia and Asia before back to Michael. "Could you make it so that Xenovia and Asia could pray to God and read the Bible without causing them tremendous pain?"
Everyone stared at him in shock.
"Even knowing God is dead," Michael looked at Xenovia and Asia, "would the two of you still be willing to pray?"
"Of course!" The two said at the same time. Asia would have been standing at attention, but she was still healing Lilith.
"Very well, I suppose having a couple of Devils praying to God won't cause any problems with the rest of the faith." Michael looked at the two girls and smiled. "Besides, Father always did say that if one seeks salvation in his name that we should listen."
"Thank you, Sir Michael!" Xenovia smiled and began to pray. "OWW!"
Michael laughed softly. "I have yet to update the system, please wait a week, okay?" The two nodded.
As Lilith's injuries finally faded away, she sat up and smiled at Asia. "Thanks!" The next thing the blonde girl knew Lilith pulled her close and was kissing her full on the lips.
"WOAH!" Issei's eyes widened and a trickle of blood came out of his nose. "Girl on girl kissing! WHOO HOO!"
The kiss didn't last long and Asia's face was redder than Sirzechs and Rias's hair was. "Wha, wha, wha?!"
"What?" Lilith blinked in confusion as she stood up. "I kiss all my friends on the lips when I become friends with them."
"Lilith..." Ranma sighed as he looked at her. "You're in your succubus form, I'm pretty sure that if you don't turn back into your human form you might accidentally cause Michael to become a Fallen Angel."
"Huh?" Lilith blinked and looked down at herself. "Ooops!" She blushed and giggled before energy bats surrounded her for a moment. When they faded, she was in biker shorts, a loose t-shirt and much shorter and flat-chested. "Better?"
"Much." Everyone said at the same time.
Michael looked at Nabiki and looked like he wanted to say something when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Turning, he saw Azazel behind him. "Is there something you want?"
"Look, I know we have our differences and all that, and I'm curious about it as well. But I'm sure that you need to get back to Heaven. I'll find out for you and send you the report, okay?"
"Very well." He nodded at the Fallen Angel, grateful that he had made that offer.
Not far away, Irina looked at Xenovia and bowed. "I'm sorry."
"Huh?" Xenovia blinked in confusion. "For what?"
Irina lifted her head and smiled sadly. "When you told me you became a Devil, I thought you had betrayed the church, even after we had the talk, I still thought you had betrayed us. I'm glad that I was wrong."
Xenovia smiled and walked up to her friend. "I am to." Hugging her, she was glad when Irina hugged her back. "But I knew you were more devout than I was." She let go of the hug and stepped back. "I couldn't tell you God was dead, I was worried it would break you."
"Even after becoming a Devil, you still look out for me, huh?" Irina sniffled, rubbing tears that were forming in her eyes.
"You're my best friend, of course I would!"
Michael stepped up to them. "I must go now. Irina, I shall give you a ride back to the Church so that you may report on what happened."
"Of course, Lord Michael." She bowed to him and walked over to the Seraph, before turning and bowing to the others. "Thank you all."
"Oh, Xenovia..." Michael smiled at the blue-haired girl. "I do not know what you did, but Irina was most happy when she left Japan last time, even if she was sad."
"Oh yeah!" Irina smiled and looked at Lilith. "Thanks for sending me back to talk to her!" She waved as the two disappeared in a flash of light.
Lilith frowned in confusion. 'But I didn't see her off, what did she mean by that?'
"Time for me to go as well." Azazel said as he walked off, waving with his remaining arm. "I'll see you kids later, okay?" He looked at Sirzechs and Serafall. "I'll get the information about Ranma for you later, okay? After tonight we all need to get some rest."
Sirzechs shook his head as the Fallen Angel leader took off. "Before I go, I have an order for those of you who weren't frozen by Gasper's power." He looked at Ranma and Lilith. "And for you two, I would like you to cooperate with us as well."
"Fine." Ranma said to him. "What do you need?"
"I need everyone who fought while Gasper's power was active to write a report and have it ready in three days." Sirzechs then looked at Akeno, Xenovia and Koneko before smirking as an idea came to him. "Oh, Issei, would it be too much of a hassle for Koneko, Akeno and Xenovia to move into your house?"
"Uh, I wouldn't mind, but it might be kind of crowded, I don't think we have enough room for everyone." Issei rubbed the back of his head.
"Don't worry about that." Sirzechs chuckled and ignored the annoyed looks he was getting from Rias and Grayfia. A moment later, he and Grayfia disappeared in a red flash.
Ranma walked over to Lilith and smiled as he saw Atsuko and Mittelt walking over to them. "So, shall we go?"
"Wait." Serafall walked up to them. "Can I ask you something?"
"Huh?" Ranma blinked in confusion. "Sure, what's up?"
"What was that big blue fireball you did?" Serafall couldn't place her finger on it, but it felt like it was made of ice as well.
"Frozen Firefall?" Ranma scratched the back of his head. "The guy who taught me magic said I was really good with ice and fire magic, so I found a way to fuse the two together and that's how I made Frozen Fire magic." He laughed as he remembered the look of surprise the old man had when Ranma had created fusion magic of fire and ice. "He even said that even though he was a sorcerer that he couldn't do something like that."
"You were taught by an actual sorcerer?" Serafall asked in surprise, getting a nod from Ranma. "Oh wow."
"Yeah, anyway, it's just a fusion of fire and ice magic, though it shouldn't be possible, but that's what it is." Ranma shrugged at the Devil King. "Is that all?"
"Ah..." Serafall had to swallow as her throat felt really dry for some reason. "Yeah, sure."
"Hope you weren't planning on leaving without me." Nabiki smirked as she put a hand on Ranma's shoulder.
"Of course not." Lilith rolled her eyes as the five were surrounded in darkness and disappeared.
"Well, it's time for us to go as well." Rias said to her peerage. "Come on." The group left one after the other.
"Sister?" Sona looked at Serafall, who was still looking at where Ranma left. "Shouldn't you be going too?" Serafall shook her head and smiled at her younger sister, her face slightly red. "Are you okay?"
"Huh? Oh, I'm fine So-chan!" Serafall, her hands still covered in Grayfia's blood, waved at her sister. "Bye bye!"
When her sister disappeared, Sona stared in shock. She didn't even try to hug or embarrass her at all. "Tsubaki, what just happened?"
"I have a few ideas." Tsubaki said as she smiled and pulled out her cell phone. "Anyway, I'll call the other members of the Student Council and have them come over here to fix this up."

Three days later...
Issei couldn't believe that Sirzechs had managed to get contractors to rebuild his house, it was practically a mansion! It even had underground rooms now and an elevator! And that was just yesterday no less!
Up above the school, Azazel looked down as Rias, Issei and the others came to school and smirked. "Vali, the White Dragon Emperor, only wishes to find a strong opponent. Issei, the Red Dragon Emperor, is driven by his sex drive. And then there's Ranma, aiming to be the next Master, huh?" He chuckled to himself. "In their own ways, each of them is pure. I can't wait to see where this goes."

"And I have a surprise today." Rias said as she opened the door to her club room. "We have some new members joining the Occult Research Club."
"Hey!" Ranma smiled as he, Lilith, Mittelt, Atsuko and Nabiki were in the room ahead of everyone. "Thanks for accepting us, Rias."
"Hey, no problem." Rias smiled at him. "Though, at this rate I might need a bigger room. Or more couches."
"And new chairs!" Azazel said from behind the desk, causing most everyone to snap their attention over to him. "No offense, Rias, but this chair isn't all that comfortable."
"What are you doing here?" Rias asked in surprise.
Azazel grinned at her. "I'm a chemistry teacher here now. And I'm the club's official adviser."
"Hey!" Issei pointed at Azazel's left arm. "How'd you get your arm back?"
"This?" Azazel waved his hand and grinned as the skin covering his fingers seemed to open up, revealing robotics underneath. "Just a prosthetic made by Fallen Angel tech." After the fingers returned to normal, he made a fist with it. "And I can do this." The fist fired off and flew around the room and under the girl's skirts, causing them to flare up and each girl's panties to be flashed as a result.
"Neat!" Atsuko's eyes started to shine. "Do you have finger bullets, lasers, a positron cannon, a black hole bomb and miniature neutron missiles in there too?"
As his arm reattached, Azazel blinked at Atsuko in surprise. "What? No!"
"BAH!" Atsuko crossed her arms under her breasts and huffed. "That's boring and lame! I'm going to call my mom up and she'll get you hooked up with some serious cutting-age tech for that thing."
The group started to laugh as they heard that.
"Well, I hope you all got your reports written up." Azazel grinned at the group. "Because it's forty percent of your overall grade." When the group yelled in shock, he mentally smirked, it was good to be in charge!
Well, that's the end of season 2.
Onto Season 3... Which will not end the way season 3 did in BorN. And no, the next arc isn't called BorN, I promise.
