Dance With the Devil
Kyoto Chapter 6
Disclaimer: I own none of the series involved, for if I did there would be a lot more sex.
Mr Haziq: Of course!
"NUKU NUKU BALANCE BREAK!"
An eruption of energy had everyone shielding their eyes and looking away. When the light died down, everyone looked at Atsuko and stared at her new outfit.
On her head, her pointed metal ears were popped out of her head, her hands and arms up to her elbows were covered in metal greaves, with her fingers ending in claws, with her arms from her elbows up to her shoulders and her neck covered in the black bodysuit, on her feet up to her knees were covered in metal leg coverings with her thighs being mostly exposed and the sides of her hips had side flaps covering them. Her black bodysuit was, for a lack of a better word, skimpy. Her back was completely exposed, along with her butt, as the only covering she had on her backside was a thong that went deep between her butt-cheeks, above her butt a metallic tail was extended. Her stomach was completely exposed, as was most of her breasts as the outfit only covered the outside of her boobs and only provided coverage to her nipples. Her sides were covered and the top, insides and bottom of her boobs were completely exposed. As for her crotch, if her outfit was any lower, it would expose her pussy completely.
"What a slutty outfit!" Jeanne exclaimed, scandalized.
"I like it." Ranma, Issei and Saji all said at the same time.
"Neat!" Atsuko looked at herself and twisted to take a good look at her backside as best she could.
In the helicopter, Arisa Sono looked at her boss. "Who came up with that design?"
The other pilot, Kyouko Ariyoshi, shook her head. "Who cares? Let's get out of here! I don't want to be anywhere near here." She had seen the giant Dragon fighting the giant Fox and didn't know if they'd come back.
As they flew away, Akiko made a note to contact Atsuko and explain a few things about her NK-SG-D mode. 'After all, a woman needs to use everything at their disposal to win.'
"Will she be okay?" Arisa asked and Akiko nodded. "Ma'am?"
Akiko had a shark-like grin on her face. "That outfit, that she said... Balance Break, right?" The other two nodded, remembering what they heard over the microphones. "It's true name is the NK-SG-D prototype."
"Um..." Kyouko was confused. "What does that mean?"
"Let's just say..." Akiko looked back at the battlefield, "those who rely on their special powers are about to get a nasty awakening."
Back on the battlefield, Jeanne looked at the two aghast. "You like it!?"
"If anime and magic girls have taught me anything non-traumatic," Ranma said, "it is that the less you have covering you as a female, the more powerful you are."
Atsuko grinned as her body was engulfed in flames. "Ooooh! Now I can do this?! Awesome!" She bounced around, revealing that even though the outfit was covering her body, somewhat, it didn't stop her breasts from bouncing as she jumped.
"Feh! Just a fetish outfit." Heracles snorted. "Just stab her in the gut and be done with it."
Atsuko blinked in confusion. "What are you talking about? Every inch of my body is actually covered by a nano-filament fiber-optic transparent body armor that can mold and shift to provide me with maximum protection from stabbing, punching, explosions, fire, magic, energy beams, lightning, ice, toxic fumes and other nasty things you can throw at me."
Everyone stared at her.
"Huh?" Cao Cao asked after several moments.
Sighing, Atsuko hung her head. "You can see my skin, but it's being covered by clear armor made up by tiny robots, okay?" Seriously, how hard was it to understand what she said before? It wasn't like she used any specific terms. "So, Ranma, there's four of them and three of us, who gets what?"
"Let's see... Issei, you good to go?" Ranma looked at the Devil in question, who nodded shakily.
"Yeah, but I'm not at full capacity, but I'll kick some ass."
Ranma smirked and looked at the four. "In that case, punch that whiny bitch's face in for me. If I take him on I won't be able to restrain myself. Atsuko, you want multi-armed freak, the gal who called your outfit slutty or the big guy?"
"Hmm... I'll take the girl on. Can I have the big guy too?"
Heracles snorted. "I had enough disapppointment in women for one day. If that big hot-shot wants to fight, I'll fight him."
"Indeed." Siegfried nodded and pointed all six of his swords at Ranma. "You made an open challenge to the Khaos Brigade, so we're here to accept."
Ranma's smirk slowly turned into a grin. "Well then, I can't disappoint, can I?" Like he was shot out of a cannon, Ranma was in front of Siegfried so fast that the white-haired swordsman couldn't react as Ranma punched him in the jaw and sent him flying away. Ducking a swing from Cao Cao's spear, he rolled forward and jumped on Jeanne's head before using it as a spring board to jump into the air, flip over to avoid another stab by Cao Cao and land behind Heracles. When the big guy turned around, Ranma grabbed him by his wrist, spun and threw him in the direction of where Siegfried disappeared to.
"YAY!" Atsuko cheered before rushing in at Jeanne, who was fast enough to jump away from her punch, which caused another crater in the ground at the near miss. "Oh come on!" Atsuko yelled as she jumped after the blonde, who gasped as Atsuko caught up to her in an instant.
"What are you?" The reincarnation of the Maiden of Orleans gasped as Atsuko did a flip in mid-air and her feet hit Jeanne in the chin, sending her spiralling up and over the large crater that Xenovia made earlier and into a tree.
"Wow..." Cao Cao muttered as he watched them. Turning to Issei, he couldn't help but chuckle. "I actually wish that I had met them sooner. They'd make for good opponents."
Issei was standing on shaky legs, but he couldn't help but grin. "You know, you're not wrong." For all the crap that Ranma and Lilith gave him over his dream to be a Harem King, the two were never disgusted by it and all the criticism they had seemed to be aimed more at the fact that he didn't have a clear-cut idea how to be a Harem King than the fact that he wanted to be one.
"Well..." Cao Cao ignored a Dragon's roar in the background. "Time for round two, can you give me a good fight as injured as you are?"
"You know," Issei said and grinned, though Cao Cao couldn't see it, "I'm sore, hurting, I can barely stand and I don't know if I can move much right now, but Ranma's right about one thing." Cao Cao gave him a confused look as Issei pointed at him. "You're a wall in front of me and if I want to get anywhere in life, I'm going to need to punch through you."
Cao Cao laughed as he heard that. "Well said! Now come on!"

Seigfried rubbed his sore jaw and stood up as Heracles landed on his feet near him. "Well, he certainly packs a punch." That speed was worrisome as well. Looking up as a green energy blast came his way, he and Heracles jumped away as it landed where they were and exploded outwards.
"SCREW YOU, PUNK!" Heracles bellowed. "MIGHTY COMET!" Once more his knees, elbows and shoulders were covered in spikes while his hands were covered in what looked like missile tips. "TAKE THIS!" He fired them at Ranma, who just looked at them.
Ranma held up his right hand and snapped his fingers and several tube-like barriers popped up around him before Ranma snapped his fingers again and pointed at Heracles, causing the barriers to rush at the missiles, causing them to explode shortly after they were launched from his hands. "Did you really beat Rossweisse with that?"
"Don't underestimate me." Heracles grinned at him. "I'm the most durable, strongest and toughest human around!"
Ranma tilted his head in confusion. "Your name isn't Happosai or Cologne, so how can you be any of those?" When Heracles glared, he smirked. "Besides, the real Heracles was the son of Zeus and last I heard, that guy was one of the top Gods to ever live."
"So what's your point?"
"Aren't you just a pale imitation of the real thing then?" Ranma asked in a mocking tone, shrugging as Heracles screamed and rushed him. "Too slow." Ranma twisted to the side as Heracles punched at him. He grinned as Heracles continued to punch at him at increasing speeds before ducking under a haymaker to his face and then punching Heracles in his torso as hard and as fast as he could.
"That won't..." Heracles's eyes went cross-eyed as his armor shattered around him and he fell to his knees, clutching his stomach. "URK!"
Jumping back, Ranma shook his arms up and down several times. "Sheesh, you are one tough bastard, aren't you?"
"What did you..." Heracles grunted in pain.
"I trained with a little old lady who had a technique that made the Emperors of China quake in their boots for over three thousand years." Ranma winked at him and jumped away as Siegfried swung at where he was a moment ago. "And I just hit you over three thousand times in a moment." Though he couldn't do that very often, it made his arms sore as hell and was extremely tiring to do that.
"Well, isn't that something?" Siegfried narrowed his eyes. "However, I won't make the same mistake of underestimating you."
Ranma just smirked.

Swinging her rapier out, Jeanne sent another wave of Holy blades at Atsuko, who punched the wave, causing all the blades coming at her to shatter into several pieces. "What the heck?! Since when can you do that?"
"Come on! Is that all you got?" Atsuko asked, the flames around her body getting bigger. "Come on! Do what you did against Irina and bring out your big guns!"
"You're going to regret that." Jeanne narrowed her eyes. "Balance Break!" A dome of Holy swords formed in front of her before shattering and revealing a blue Dragon with white wings. "Angel-chan couldn't handle this and I can create more swords."
Atsuko tilted her head and nodded. "Okay!" She grinned and rushed forward as the Dragon roared. Moving at speeds that the Dragon wasn't prepared for, Atsuko punched its left front leg, shattering it in an instant and causing the beast to nearly topple over.
"No way!" Jeanne gasped in shock. "What the heck?! Are you related to Saitama or something?!"
"Nope! I'm just Atsuko." She grinned as she jumped on the beast's back and grabbed its wings. She could feel her feet and hands starting to burn from touching these Holy weapons, but it was just a mild burn, nothing serious.
Jeanne watched, her eyes bugging out as Atsuko not only ripped the wings of her Holy Sword Dragon off, but then used them to cut the head of her Balance Breaker off with one wing and then cut the beast's legs off with the other wing. "What? How? HOW?!"
Jumping off of the beast as it fell and shattered into nothing, Atsuko dusted her hands. "I guess Mittelt was right. I'm the only Devil that doesn't have to worry about Holy or Light Weapons and powers." She smiled at Jeanne. "Is that all? Because if so, I'm going to kick your cute little butt all over the place for hurting my friend."
"Not at all! I can do more than just one!" Jeanne growled as three domes appeared in front of her, forming three Dragons. "And I'll do more if I have to!"
Tapping her chin, Atsuko nodded and snapped her right arm out to the side. A tube that looked like a sword hilt appeared in her hand. "Well, let's see, it's supposed to go like this, right?" She asked no one in particular as a metal blade snapped out of the hilt. "Neat! Now I got a sword too!"
"As if that could stop my Dragons."
"It's a sword made out of Damascus steel with a nano-tech fiber solution coating, refined and forged with the most modern equipment possible, using lasers to make the edge so sharp that it can cut through almost anything and the core seems to be made up of something as hard as diamonds." Atsuko said to her.
"...HUH?!" Jeanne gawked at her. "What did you say?"
"It's a very sharp sword that's very durable." Atsuko simplified it. "Also, it can do this." She grinned as energy erupted from the hilt of the sword, turning it from a one handed sword into a zweihander with the blade being a light blue in color and nearly transparent.
"Wait, what? How do you know all of that?!" Jeanne asked in shock. "That's not a real Sacred Gear, so what is this power you have?!" Jumping back, she watched, flabbergasted as Atsuko ran up to her Dragons and swung her sword to the side, shattering the one closest to her in an instand, before swinging her sword back the other way and shattering the next one that got close and then turning and slamming her sword down, bisecting the final one, causing it to fall to pieces. "HOW?!"
"How?" Atsuko asked as the energy dissipated and her sword returned to normal. "Simple, this told me everything." She pointed to her right arm. "The watch Mama-san got me flooded my mind with all the information that I needed to know about this. This sword? It's called the Star Shattering Saber." The flames seemed to die down as Atsuko walked closer to the scared French girl. "And this outfit? I call it my Nuku Nuku Balance Breaker. But it's real name?" She swung her sword and parried the sudden lunge by Jeanne before grabbing the blonde girl's head. "It's real name is the NK-SG-D. Or the Nuku Nuku Sacred Gear Destroyer." She said before running at full speed and slamming Jeanne into and through several trees.

Meanwhile...
"I don't get it, what does that NK-SG-D have to do with those guys?" Arisa asked her boss. "You said it was the Nuku Nuku Sacred Gear Destroyer, so..."
"It's based off of something called the Sacred Gear canceller." Akiko didn't know what that was, but it sounded very useful. "I was told only one person has it, but it's very powerful. If Atsuko goes up against someone with a Sacred Gear, she should be able to handle them with no problem."
"So what are you going to do about the outfit design?" Kyouko asked, getting a shrug from Akiko. "Ma'am?"
"Right now, it's just a prototype, everything Atsuko has is. It needs some fine-tuning, but the more she uses it, the more data we'll get from it."
"Neat!" Arisa smiled, that was always fun.

Elsewhere...
Happosai watched as his master continued to absorb the Ki of Kyoto and noticed she was starting to stagger. "Hey! Have you finished cutting off the Ki flows to Nijo Castle?"
"Almost!" One of the fox Youkai said. "Another ten seconds."
"HURRY! HURRY!" The blue-haired Devil groaned in dismay as she held her hand up, a white ring above her and purple energy flowing from the five pillars into the ring and into her. "If I take any more power in, my breasts will start developing their own gravity fields!"
"How horrifying!" Everyone gasped at the same time.
"DONE!" The Tengu mage yelled. "You can stop now!"
Sighing as she dropped her arm and the pillars started to dissipate, the Devil groaned. "Okay, I'm going to return all the Ki in Kyoto that I absorbed."
"We're ready!" One of the fox Youkai called out. "Feel free to release it any time!"
Nodding, the Devil put her fingers in a diamond shape and pointed them into the air. "Satsu no Hado RETURN!" Her body started to glow before a HUGE blast of Ki was launched in the air and lighting up the night sky.
"That reminds me..." Happosai muttered to himself as he shielded himself from the intense light show. "I wonder how that little girl I taught this technique to is doing."

Back at the Nijo Castle area...
Lilith grimaced as Georg countered her spell with one of his own. "I hate fighting expert magic users." This guy wasn't a sorcerer, but she was certain he'd give the old man a run for his money if they ever fought each other. What made it worse, in her opinion, was that stupid fog he was using to block all their attacks.
"Listen, you should give up." Georg called out to them. "I'm not against letting you go, but if you keep this up I might just have to use my Longinus on you and trap you in the Dimensional Void." He sighed as the Fallen Angel threw several pink spears and several black spears at him, all of them failing to pierce Dimension Lost.
"Of course, giving up would be easy." Lilith said as she threw a large fireball and followed it up with a lightning bat. "But I'm not one to give up just because things are tough!"
A bit further away, Mittelt glared at the pink smoke and shook. "I'm so sick of this bullshit! Everywhere I turn there's always some fucking bastard that shows up and goes 'look at me, I've got a new power that you've never seen before, let me kick your ass with it' and I've HAD IT!"
Lilith and Georg both looked at her, Lilith in concern and Georg with interest as they felt her power suddenly spike upwards.
"I get it!" Mittelt yelled as black energy formed in her left hand and pink energy formed in her right hand. "I'm just a grunt of a Fallen Angel! I was never very strong! I was cast off by everyone!" Tears started to form in her eyes as memories of her time with Ranma, Lilith and Atsuko flooded her mind. "I've never had more fun than when Ranma took me in." Raising her head, tears leaking from her eyes, she glared at Georg. "AND YOU MADE MY BOYFRIEND UPSET, YOU FUCKING BASTARD!" Clapping her hands together, she ignored Lilith's warning as a pink and black spear formed in her hand and she threw it at Georg, who sighed in annoyance, before gasping as it exploded on his barrier. "DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!" She screamed as she threw more and more spears of light and darkness flew threw the air. "JUST DIE!" She put her hands in the air and more than a dozen spears of that type formed above her head and she threw her hands down, causing them to fly at Georg, exploding and kicking up a ton of dust and obscuring their vision of him.
"Wow..." Lilith gasped as she looked at Mittelt. "WOW!"
Panting, Mittelt looked at Lilith. "What?"
Lilith pointed behind her. "When did you grow a second set of wings?"
"HUH?!" Mittelt twisted so she could see behind her and gasped as she saw a second set of wings under her first set. "...I want to ask how, but at this point, I'm just chalking it up to the fact that you and Ranma have broken every rule of the Moonlight World that I thought I knew since I met you."
"We love you too." Lilith giggled before looking down and seeing the smoke clear.
"Well..." Georg nodded in appreciation. "Most impressive, actually, so this is a four winged Fallen Angel, huh? Never thought I'd see one in my life."
Before anyone could respond, a powerful surge of raw magic rushed over the battlefield.

Meanwhile...
Heracles growled as he got to his feet and watched as that slippery bastard dodged around Siegfried's attacks and retaliated with a large green blast that Siegfried had to block. "You little..." He rushed at Ranma, who jumped away and landed in a crouch. "You okay, Siegfried?"
"Just fine, a little sore, but nothing I can't handle." The multi-armed sword fighter grinned. "This is a lot of fun, but alas, how about we end him?"
"Gladly!" Heracles grinned.
Standing up, Ranma tilted his head to the side and then smirked at them. "You two are right about one thing, we should wrap this up."
"Just a question," Siegfried began, "you're not that much stronger than those we beat, so how are you doing so well?"
Ranma shrugged at him. "If I had to guess, it's because right now I want to kill you two. And I don't make it a policy to kill people I just met." Slowly raising his right arm, Ranma narrowed his eyes at Siegfried, "tell me, which of your arms is your favorite?"
"I don't see what that has to do with anything."
"Enough talking!" Heracles roared and charged at Ranma. "I'm going to..." He was cut off as he ran into a clear barrier that popped up in front of him.
"Just wait, I'll deal with you." Ranma muttered. "Okay, so I guess it doesn't matter, huh?" He snapped his raised arm down. "Kijin Raishu Dan!"
"Demon God Assault Bomb?" Siegfried asked before his eyes widened in pain and he looked at his right Sacred Gear arms, the one with the light sword, which slowly slid off and fell to the ground with a thud. "You... WHAT?!"
"Vacuum blades." Ranma said simply as he looked at the two severed arms. When Heracles shattered his barrier, Ranma simply snapped his fingers. "Frozen Fire Vortex."
"Huh?" Heracles looked down as blue flames spun around his feet for a moment before erupting upwards, engulfing him in icy flames. "ARRRRRGH!" He couldn't believe something could burn and freeze him at the same time. "NNNGH!" Grunting and ignoring the pain, he jumped through the flames, much to Ranma's shock as his sweaty face came barreling at him at high speeds. "YOU LITTLE SHIT!" He screamed and punched Ranma in the face, sending him tumbling away. "I'M GUNNA RIP YOUR GUTS OUT!"
Grimacing as he rolled to his feet, Ranma blocked an attack from Heracles, only to get knocked away from the explosion. "FUCK!" He knew that the big guy had a Sacred Gear, and now he was seeing what it could do when it wasn't firing missiles.
"JUST DIE!" Heracles screamed as he punched Ranma in the face again, only to blink in confusion as a wooden log replaced his opponent. "WHAT?!"
"Body Swap technique, pretty easy to do honestly." Ranma said from behind him. Before Heracles could react, he felt his body jerking from the punches Ranma was landing on him from behind. Jumping away as Heracles grunted and fell to his knees, Ranma just shook his head in amazement. "You might be a pale copy of the real thing, but at least you're a durable piece of shit, huh?"
"You!" Ranma turned to see Siegfried glaring at him. "HOW DARE YOU CUT MY ARMS OFF?!"
"It's not that hard to do." Ranma said as lightning crackled around his body. "Now I do believe it's time for you to go."
Siegfried glared at him. "You worthless Demon! You only won because of that."
Ranma just gave him a sweet smile. "You're wrong about one thing. All these techniques I use?" He snapped his fingers as lightning crashed down on Siegfried's swords, sending the strong electrical current into the sword user. "Were developed by humans, not Demons." He smirked as Siegfried let out a yell before falling to his knees and onto his face, twitching as lightning crackled over his body.
"Oh, you're done?" Atsuko asked as she dragged a bloodied Jeanne forward by her hair.
"Just about," Ranma looked at Heracles, "this guy's..." he trailed off as he felt a surge of raw power erupt from where Issei was at. Looking in that direction, he stared as a red pillar of energy erupted from where he was sure Issei was at. "Well, let's get these guys back and see what this is all about."
Atsuko nodded and watched as Ranma hit Heracles on the back several times before walking over to Siegfried and blasting him with more electricity to keep him from doing anything.

A few moments before...
As he knocked Issei down again, Cao Cao sighed. "Is this really all you've got left in your tank? You should have just let me fight the others."
Groaning as he got back up, his armor practically falling off of him, Issei stood up again. "Screw you, hippie. I don't care how many times you knock me down, I'm going to keep getting up and I'm going to win." By this point the only thing left of his armor was on his arms, shoulders, head and around his feet, and even that was horribly cracked and broken in several places.
"Listen, I respect that, but you're practically dead as you are." Cao Cao sighed. "Really, this isn't fun anymore, just accept that you can't win."
'Dammit,' Issei glared at him, 'as I am, I'm too weak, how the hell do I win this fight?'
"If you release your potential, you'll be able to win no problem." A familiar female voice spoke up and Issei blinked as he saw Elsha, a woman with long blonde hair, green eyes and was wearing a purple, shoulder-less dress that did nothing to hide how awesome her breasts were, stood there, smiling at him. "Now is the time to release it." Issei looked down at his hand and saw the orb that had escaped on the train. "Hold the orb up to the sky and call the boobs that are meant for you."
When Issei started to glow red, Cao Cao took a step back, wondering what was going on.
When silhouettes of people came out of the ground moaning "boobies", Issei wondered the same thing.
"Well, this is weird, and also a first, is that an army of Zomboobies?" Cao Cao asked, amused by it.
"What's happening?" Issei asked before Elsha told him that it was the remnants of everyone the orb had infested since escaping on the bullet train. "I guess it really was an Zombie-pervacalypse, but with shadow molesters..." Seeing the sheer number of them, he sweat-dropped heavily. "Wow, that's... A lot." He said as he watched them march and form a circle before turning to each other and sinking into the ground, forming a magic sigil on the ground. "Now what?"
"Call the boobs meant specifically for you." Elsha smiled at him.
Nodding at the words of the spirit of the strongest Red Dragon Empress, Issei took a deep breath. "Summon... TIG OLE BITTIES!"
A pillar of red energy erupted into the sky before cracking open a portal. Looking up, both Issei and Cao Cao watched as Rias Gremory, in only a pair of light pink lacy panties and a bra appeared in the sky and slowly descended onto the battlefield.
"Huh?" She could only stare in surprise at seeing Issei. "What am I doing here? Where am I?" Seeing Issei in front of her with blood erupting from where his nose was, she looked really confused.
"Give 'em a poke." Elsha encouraged Issei as Rias's breasts bounced and her bra fell off of them. "Poke those pillows."
"Why am I glowing?" Rias asked and watched as the aura started to shrink until it was surrounding her breasts. "Um, Issei, what's going on?"
"Uh..." Issei chuckled as he walked up to her, his helmet disappearing to reveal his face. "Would you believe me if I told you that I need to poke your nipples to unlock my full power?"
Rias sighed heavily. "Considering that's how you unlocked your Balance Breaker the first time without some sort of help, yes I can." She couldn't believe it, she was summoned to where Issei was and was exposing her breasts to everyone and now he wanted to poke her nipples? '...No, wait, I can totally believe it. He did the same thing when in Juggernaut Drive to calm down.'
Releasing the clawed hands around his fingers, Issei raised his hands upwards. "You ready to do this, Ddrag?"
"WAHHHHHH!" His Sacred Gear started to sob and Issei sweat-dropped heavily.
"Sheesh, just because you don't like the name Oppai Dragon Emperor. You'd think a Dragon would have more mental fortitude." He muttered before reaching forward and pressing on Rias's nipples as hard as he could, getting her to throw her head back and moan in pleasure.
It was at this moment that Ranma and Atsuko, dragging the other members of Cao Cao's team, came upon the scene. "...What the..." They muttered at the same time and watched as Rias suddenly started glowing red and launched into the air like a rocket.
"...You're welcome?" Issei asked in confusion.
Cao Cao blinked a few times and shook his head. "Yeah, okay, that makes perfect sense." The sarcasm in his voice was heavy.
Issei felt a throb throughout his body at that moment. "Wait... This is..."
"OH YES!" Ddrag screamed in near ecstasy. "I haven't felt this in so long. It feels like when I was back in my real body."
Issei's eyes widened and his body started to tingle before power that he hadn't felt before erupted from every pour of his body. "This is... Holy crap!" This was far more potent than his normal Balance Breaker.
*Flash*
"Let's end the fight here for the day." Sairaorg, a large man with a very muscular body and shaggy dark hair with Go Nagai-styled sideburns, smiled at Issei.
"But I'm not finished yet!"
"That's what she said." Sairaorg shot back. "But I can tell. You're on the verge of a new evolution of power. I'd rather face you after you unlock it, then I'll have a real fight."
*End Flash*
"So this is what he meant." Issei muttered, grinning as his armor fully repaired itself and his helmet and clawed hands reformed. "CAO CAO!"
"Hmm?" The Longinus user tapped his spear on his shoulder. "What?"
"You're about to get it... My new power!" Issei's body started glowing red like flames erupted around him, his green gems turned crimson in response. "PROMOTION! WELSH DRAGONIC BISHOP!"
Ranma watched, amazed as Issei's armor started to mold and shift, his legs becoming like a camera tripod holder and large cannons forming on his shoulders. "Woah!" The power spike Issei was going through was also intense.
"Cao Cao!" Issei snarled as his leg armor clamped down on the ground to brace him. "For everything you did in Kyoto! For all the people you hurt! FOR MAKING ME FEEL WORTHLESS!"
"BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST!"
"SUCK MY DRAGON CANNON!" Issei screamed as he built up a charge in his shoulder cannons.
"Is that all?" Cao Cao snorted. "I'll just block it like I have everything else."
"FIRE!" Issei screamed as he launched a powerful red and green blast at Cao Cao.
"On second thought..." Cao Cao muttered and jumped to the side, barely dodging the attack as it destroyed the ground he was on a moment ago.
Watching what happened, Lilith's eyes were wide. "Holy fuck! Did Issei just blast a hole in time and space with that?!" She could only stare as the area of the sky that the blast passed through looked darker and was warped and crackling with energy.
"At the very least he just warped Dimensional Space." Georg muttered, also shocked by that. "Is this the true power of the Heavenly Red Dragon?" No wonder he had been feared by all in his prime if that was the case.
Mittelt shivered for more than one reason. "This is going to catch the attention of the Gods, isn't it?" Some of them were stupidly strong and she didn't look forward to dealing with them.
Issei growled as his canons dropped off and his leg armor returned to normal. "I'M NOT FINISHED YET!" Dragon wings formed on his back and he took to the sky. "CHANGE! WELSH DRAGONIC KNIGHT!"
"BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST!"
Issei could feel his speed increasing by a tremendous amount and he grinned. "ARMOR PURGE!" The Dragon wings and most of his armor, save for his gauntlets and his helmet, disappeared, leaving him in a skin-tight version of his armor as he zipped through the sky at Cao Cao, who had gotten up and was trying to counter him. "TOO SLOW!" He could actually see the attack this time as he twisted to avoid it drove a hyper-sonic kick into Cao Cao's body, causing him to cry out in pain and spit up blood before Issei flipped off of him. "CHANGE! WELSH DRAGONIC ROOK!"
"BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST!"
Cao Cao grimaced and stabbed at Issei, only to watch in dismay as his armor got thicker and bulkier, especially around the arms, which Issei used to block his attack. 'Ah shit, he turned into the Big O.' It was one of the few television shows he had gotten to watch in his life and he had enjoyed it tremendously. 'Wait, that means his punch is going to...' His thoughts were cut off as Issei punched him in the jaw and into the sky, boosters erupting from the back of his elbow. 'Knew it!' His mind was able to get out from the pain he was feeling.
"NOT DONE YET!" Issei yelled as he flew above Cao Cao and did a dive bomb onto Cao Cao, driving him into the ground and creating a small crater. Jumping off of Cao Cao and landing several feet away, the Dragon Scale Armor returned to normal. "Holy... Ddrag, that was amazing!"
"Indeed! I haven't felt like that in ages!"
A moment later, Cao Cao walked out of the crater, looking only slightly scuffed up. "Well that happened." If not for the True Longinus he would have died right then and there. He was so glad the thing was the most powerful Sacred Gear around, because there was no way he could have survived all the fights he had gotten into without it.
"YEAH! You want some more!?"
"No thanks." Cao Cao shook his head. "I can tell, that took a lot out of you, you probably got another half a minute in your normal Balance Breaker form there at best, huh?" He smirked at Issei.
'Shit, he's not kidding, I feel like I used up almost everything I've got with that move.'
"And on top of that," Cao Cao sighed, shaking his head, "you used an illegal move." When Issei asked him what he meant, he shook his head. "It's a common rule in chess. If you do something that breaks the rules, it's an illegal move."
"Personally I prefer to think of it as a Triana." Ddrag spoke up.
"After the Greek Ocean God's Trident?" Cao Cao raised an eyebrow and nodded, he could see it, after all, it was a three-pronged attack.
"Bitchin'!" Issei grinned as he pumped a fist. "From this day forth, that'll be called "Illegal Move - Triana" then!"
Cao Cao smirked and looked up at Ranma and Atsuko. "Can I have my subordinates back now?" When Ranma threw a twitching Siegfried and his swords down on the ground, followed by a groaning Heracles, Cao Cao blinked in surprise. "I'm surprised you let them live." Jeanne joined them a moment later, moaning in pain and revealing how bloodied her face was.
"You and wannabe Vash are the two I want to kill." Ranma responded, his eyes narrowed as Georg appeared next to Cao Cao.
"Cao Cao, we need to retreat!" Georg said as he began the preparations.
"I suppose so, we've lost this fight completely." Cao Cao didn't sound upset in the slightest. "Red Dragon Emperor, you have to get stronger, because otherwise the next time we fight it will be your last." He grinned at Issei and watched as Ranma and Atsuko slid down the slope next to Issei. "Wait a second, Georg," he pointed at Atsuko, "you, young lady with the skimpy battle armor, tell me something, what are you?" Atsuko pointed to herself and he nodded. "Yes, you. Because I know a Nekoshou that's a master of Senjutsu and she can't hide her aura as well as you can. So what are you?"
"I'm Atsuko!" She grinned at him. "The All Purpose Cultural Catgirl Nuku Nuku!" Seeing Cao Cao give her an annoyed look, she shook her head. "Fine, but if you really want to know, know this! I used to be a cat, who was adopted by a young boy, then I was shot to near death and that boy's father put my brain into an android's body and I've since obtained a body that's a perfect mixture of organic and technological."
"Oh, so you're some sort of cyborg, huh? Makes sense I guess..." Cao Cao muttered and nodded at Georg. "Though I guess Jeanne won't be happy about losing to an artificial being like you."
"What did you say?" Atsuko's pupils shrank. "What do you mean?"
Cao Cao grinned at her. "Exactly what I said." He shrugged at her. "I think it's neat how far technology has come along, but that's all you are..." As Atsuko trembled, he turned away from her. "Just a robot, nothing more."
"HOW DARE YOU?!" Atsuko screamed, a red aura erupting from her body and knocking Ranma and Issei back. "HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT I'M JUST A ROBOT?!" She put her hands on her chest. "I can feel, I can breathe, I HAVE A HEART!"
"I think you made a mistake." Georg pointed out as three magic rings formed in front of Atsuko. "What the heck? I've never seen that magic style before." They looked almost like gears of some sort and they seemed to spin and bounce off of each other.
"Whatever, we need to..." Cao Cao trailed off as he looked back at Atsuko and saw what she was doing. "...That's a big gun."
Coming out of the circle and hovering in front of Atsuko was a large cannon that was in the shape of a rectangular tube. A hatch on the top near Atsuko opened up and she punched forward. "CONNECT!" She yelled as she shoved her fist into the hole, lines of energy went from her arm down into the cannon, lighting up several lines. "HEY! CAO CAO! GET A TASTE OF MY STAR BLASTING CANNON!" The sides of the cannon around the end of the barrel split open into four segments as energy started to condense there.
"Hey, Ddrag, you thinking what I'm thinking?" Issei asked as an idea came to him.
"If you're thinking what I think you're thinking, I like it." Ddrag responded. "BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST!"
"Hey! Atsuko!" Issei called as he grabbed the girl's butt. "Take this!"
"TRANSFER!"
"MRAW!" Atsuko's eyes shot wide open as her power spiked by a tremendous amount. Her body started to tremble as the cannon shook and electricity started to spark all around her as the ground started to shake from the power build up.
"REALLY?!" Ranma yelled at Issei. "You HAD to grab her ass?!"
"I couldn't help it!" Issei stepped back, rubbing the back of his head. "It was too inviting!"
Ranma tilted his head and nodded. "Okay, that's an acceptable excuse, but don't do that again."
"I'm going to go flying if I fire this thing!" Atsuko gritted her teeth and blinked as Ranma was behind her, hugging her from behind and acting as a brace. "Thanks!"
"Georg, will you be a dear and block this attack?" Cao Cao sighed as purple mist started to cover them. "Let's show them how useless it is and then get out of here."
"Plus we need to get Leonardo." Georg nodded at him.
"Ready!" Atsuko grinned. "AIM!" Her eyes widened as Ranma suddenly grabbed her breasts. "What?"
"I figure if this works for Issei, why not do it too?" Ranma asked as he put his fingers where her nipples were at. "FIRE!" He yelled as he pushed her nipples hard.
Atsuko let out a loud scream as the energy attack suddenly shrunk before firing out a red and black blast that pushed her back, despite Ranma bracing her, several feet.
Georg grinned, he could stop this no problem, before his eyes widened as he realized something. "OH FUCK! DODGE!" He screamed and pushed Cao Cao down as the blast came barreling through Dimension Lost and plowed through his body unimpeded, and just barely missing the downed forms of Heracles, Siegfried and Jeanne as it blasted out of Kyoto, across the country-side and into the ocean before it finally dissipated...
...A few hundred miles North of Hawaii...
...Where it exploded in a dome that had all of the nations on Earth take notice at its power.
Everyone watching what happened could only stare, wide-eyed at the results of that attack.
"...Star Blasting Cannon?" Lilith muttered in awe. "Appropriate name."
"HOLY FUCK!" Mittelt was far more crude but far more accurate with how she described the situation. Sure, it wasn't as awesome as warping space and time, but that was still seriously impressive.
Atsuko was on her back, on top of Ranma and the cannon she had been using was smoking and crackling with electrical energy. "Well, we found out the upper limit of that thing." She giggled as her cannon and suit both dissipated and she returned to her normal mode, just with a fancy watch on her right arm. Getting up off of Ranma, she helped him up and looked back at what happened. "Woah."
"Georg?" Cao Cao could only stare at where his subordinate had been a moment ago. Growling, his eyes seemed to blaze. "THAT'S IT! YOU'RE ALL DEAD!" He screamed as his spear started to glow. "I DON'T CARE IF I DIE! I'M KILLING ALL OF YOU RIGHT NOW!" He started to chant as his power started to build up.
"Well, shit..." Issei muttered, he was beginning to understand why Cao Cao didn't bother bringing it out before as the power he was feeling was at least as strong as his was when he was using the Triana.
Just before Cao Cao finished the chant, he felt a hand on his shoulder. Turning, he saw Georg, his clothes in tatters, glasses missing, most of his hair burned off, skin horribly burned and bloody, but still alive. "N...No..." He coughed and staggered. "We need to get out of here."
Cao Cao growled as he canceled the activation of his Sacred Gear's Balance Break. "Red Dragon Emperor! Robot Girl! Ranma Saotome! You three! Get stronger! Because the next time we fight I won't be holding back!"
Ranma glared as the purple mist surrounded the group and the fighters all disappeared. "Good, because next time we meet, Cao Cao, I'm ruining your life."
Canceling his Scale Mail armor, Issei fell onto his butt and sighed. "What a day."
If you can't figure out what Atsuko's Balance Break looks like, look up Green Heart's outfit from Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory.
Also, obvious reference to Gundam Unicorn is obvious.
I had originally planned on giving Atsuko two handguns, but then I looked up some stuff on the wiki and discovered a thing and it fit, so I changed it for her.
The cannon that Atsuko has is from Masou Gakuen HxH
And yes, that was basically a Dragon Slave Atsuko fired off.
Ranma will get his revenge on Cao Cao later, I guarantee it, and it'll be better than you think.
