Dance With the Devil
Betrayal Epilogue
Disclaimer: I own none of the series involved, for if I did there would be a lot more sex.
"HEY!" Bulleta yelled as she landed her mech and opened it up. "We got multiple people here who need some help and I only had one vial of Phoenix Tears for them!" Jumping out, she helped Lilith II out of the mech and grabbed Ophis from Akeno, who jumped out after her. Nabiki came out afterwords, leaving Yohko, Akane and Leonardo, all of whom were, thankfully, out cold, in the back of the mech.
"So it mostly worked out, huh?" Nabiki asked and sighed as she slumped.
"Akeno." Rias sighed as she saw her Queen. Walking up to her, she smiled. "What happened?"
"Fought a Succubus Queen, it didn't go well for me." Akeno chuckled nervously. "Sorry for worrying you."
Rias gave her a soft smile and hugged her. "I was worried about you, please don't do that again, it's bad for my heart."
Akeno smiled and hugged her back softly. "Sorry for worrying you."
"Lady Leviathan..." Asia spoke up as she got close to the Devil King. "Why are you here?"
"AH!" Serafall smiled brightly. "Grayfia was SO worried about her husband not having a bodyguard that she threatened me at sword point to play the role she usually has, so as a good friend, I graciously answered her request and came here to play bodyguard."
Everyone sweat-dropped heavily.
"That does sound like you two." Azazel laughed while Sirzechs went over to the mech and frowned at who he saw inside.
"This is interesting..." He looked at Nabiki. "This seems to be beyond what you said there'd be."
"Um, what's going on?" Issei asked as he walked over to them. "Why is Ophis here? Who's the hottie? What's with the kid who made those dolls on the bridge in Kyoto? Who's the short-haired girl?"
"Jedah betrayed Ophis, cut off half of her power and soul, then created a body..." Nabiki pointed to Lilith II, who had somehow slipped away and was over by Ranma. "That he called Lilith II."
"She's cute." Irina commented as she looked at the girl. "Hello."
"Um...Hi..." Lilith II whispered out softly.
"The hottie is Yohko Mano." Ranma answered, knowing who Issei was talking about. "She's the current heir to the Mano clan, one of the strongest Devil Hunter clans in the world. She nearly got killed fighting... What's that guy's name again?"
"Rivezim Livan Lucifer." Crom Cruach answered Ranma.
"Wait! She fought against the first Super Devil and survived?" Azazel asked, raising an eyebrow and looking at the unconscious girl with respect.
"Well, more like tied with him." Ranma shrugged. "She was dying, so I kind of... Sort of... Used a Knight Piece on her."
"You do realize that she'll be out for quite some time while that fixes her body." Rias spoke to him. "There is a way to speed up the process, but you'll have to sleep naked next to her so that your Devil energies flow into her body."
"You Devils have such interesting lives." The leader of Heaven smiled at them. "So why are the other two here?"
"Leonardo was a new addition." Nabiki answered him. "Jedah wanted his Annihilation Maker abilities to help with something. And lastly, my sister... Her Sacred Gear was allowing Jedah to create too many dangerous things and would have led to the end of the world." She sighed and looked at Akane. "But they've been under Jedah's control through his modified Sacred Gear for so long now, I'm worried their minds are fried."
Nabiki stiffened as she felt a hand on her shoulder. Looking over her shoulder, she saw Michael smiling at her. "If you don't mind, Heaven will take both of them into custody. We have techniques and powers that can restore their minds, but it may take some time."
Nabiki nodded, smiling at him. "Thank you."
Ranma looked around and blinked as he saw a large body not too far away. "Why is Frankenstein's monster here?"
"Victor is not a monster!" Atsuko shot back, glaring at Ranma. "Apologize to my brother!"
"BROTHER?!" More than one person yelled at once.
"Well, Professor Gerdenheim made him also made an android girl named Emily and my original android body was based off that research, so in a way, he's my brother!" She huffed and walked over to Victor, helping him to sit up.
Ranma shrugged. "I've got a fox as a wife and a panda as a father, I'm in no position to judge someone for their family members."
"Speaking of which..." Issei marched up to Ranma and before anyone could ask what was going on, he punched Ranma right in the face, his Boosted Gear forming on his left hand.
"BOOST!"
Letting out a cry of pain from the sucker punch, Ranma was sent flying through the air and over Lilith II for several feet where he landed on his back with a thud.
"Oww..." Ranma groaned and rubbed his jaw. "Okay, so what was THAT for? Blasting you back in Kuoh city? Betraying everyone? Not telling you guys about it?"
"No, I can handle that." Issei answered him. "In fact, after learning about the fact you were doing this undercover, I can accept it. Though, why you?"
"Because he had a reason to go after Cao Cao." Nabiki answered him. "In fact, the whole betraying everyone and going to work for Jedah was my idea."
"We'll explain later." Sirzechs answered. "I think it's time to go home."
"Wait." Issei held up a hand and pointed at Ranma. "The reason I decked you wasn't because of all of that, it's because you made your girls cry! Because of what you did to Lilith!"
"...Yep, I had that coming then." Ranma nodded, not even bothering to defend his actions.
"If we're done here." Crom Cruach spoke up and turned away. "I'm heading back to Nepal."
"If you want, I can give you a ride." Michael said, getting a shake from the Evil Dragon.
"Nah." He grinned as wings erupted from his back. "Maybe I'll see if I can mess with the Greek Gods before heading back to Sen. Later!"
"So Sen's still alive, huh?" Ddrag commented as Crom Cruach took off into the air and flew away. "And we should all be thankful that Crom Cruach did not wish to fight."
"No kidding." Azazel laughed and rubbed the back of his head. "That guy's plenty strong."
"If it's all the same to everyone." Le Fay spoke up, bowing to everyone, "I'd like to go find Lord Vali, he should have gotten back by now. Toodles!" She disappeared in an orange flash before anyone could say anything.
(-)
In the air above the floating castle...
"Lord Vali!" Le Fay flew over to him as she saw him in mid-air, out of his Scale Mail and hovering with his Sacred Gear wings. "Did you get your grandfather?"
"No." Vali growled in anger. "I don't understand how either. I was punching his face in, enjoying the moment and when I was going to finish him off, he disappeared."
"Maybe he died before you could?" La Fey asked, hopefully, Vali shook his head negatively. "You mean..."
"Right before my fist would have connected with him, he disappeared and my fist went through air." Vali sighed in annoyance. "I went looking for another fight, found that moron Pantyhose Tarou guy fighting a powerful Vampire, turned that into a three-way."
"Lord Vali!" La Fey gasped, her face red. "You mustn't use such language around a lady!"
Vali looked at her in confusion. "What? It became a three-way fight, what are you thinking?"
La Fey pouted, she had been hoping he would have at least blushed or stammered, then she could have had some fun teasing him. "Nevermind."
"Anyway, took care of the two of them, they fought well, but..." Vali shrugged, he wouldn't mind facing Tarou down again, that cursed form was rather interesting. "I left them behind, dunno what's going to happen to them nor do I care."
"Lord Vali..." La Fey spoke up softly. "Want to go check on your mother?" Vali stiffened slightly. "It's been awhile, I know, and your grandfather can't touch her anymore."
"...It might not be a bad thing just to see how she and my half-siblings are doing." Vali admitted and flew off with La Fey following after him.
(-)
"So, what's wrong with Ophis?" Azazel asked as he looked at the unconscious and, very sick-looking, human Dragon.
"Jedah was using my sister's Sacred Gear to make some sort of suppressant that was slowly killing her." Nabiki answered him. "I know that most of you older guys don't care for her, but she's kind of important to the world."
"I suppose..." Sirzechs muttered as he looked at the Dragon. "Still..."
"One of the reasons the world was in danger was because she was captured by Jedah." Nabiki didn't want to spoil the future that probably wouldn't happen without Rivezim or Jedah running around anymore.
"Could someone be kind enough to summarize everything for us?" Mittelt asked, getting annoyed at being left out. "I want to know if I should be upset at Ranma for going to Jedah or at Nabiki for knowing what was going to happen and not telling us."
"I'm more worried that Gasper still isn't..."
"HEY!" A familiar voice was heard and Rias looked up to see Gasper coming out of a tree with two blonde girls next to him.
"Gaspy!" Koneko ran over to her friend and shocking everyone, she gave him a hug. "Where were you?"
"Um, in a volcano, then I was in the castle, then I made Demitri Maximoff mad and then I got found by Elmenhilde and Valerie brought the two of us here so I could see you all?" Gasper giggled at the stupefied looks he was getting.
"That was really manly too." Elmenhilde giggled softly. "With the fighting dying down and Valerie coming back, we figured we'd return Gasper to all of you."
"Um..." Ranma looked at the castle and grimaced. "Sorry about the castle."
"Huh?" Valerie looked back at the destroyed castle before suddenly laughing. "Oh that? Don't worry about it, we have to fix it every one hundred years when Lord Dracula revives himself and every Vampire Hunter in Europe comes looking to make a name for himself." She blushed as everyone looked at her astonished. "At this point, it's kind of a game, we take bets on which Vampire Hunters will succeed and which ones will get killed."
"Kind of a cruel game." Michael spoke up, giving the Vampire a stern look, which caused her to blush.
"Sorry, but Lord Dracula's a really big jerk, he once turned most of Europe into his personal play room, transforming people into monsters, statues and other things, slaughtering whole villages for fun and other nasty stuff." Valerie looked to the side with shame. "Plus he got lots of Vampires in the past killed because he pissed everyone off. So whenever he revives, most of us quickly leave the castle and use various tunnels and escape houses to avoid being killed."
"Don't most Vampires look upon humans as nothing more than food?" Serafall asked, causing Valerie to nod softly.
"I'm... Trying to change it. Pure Vampires need human blood, so we're trying to work something out."
"That would be a good idea." Azazel idly commented. "Especially if you want to join our alliance." He waved off the looks of curiosity. "Don't worry about it, it'll probably take a year or two before we get things ironed out fully. And as amusing as this all is, I'd rather be back in Japan so we can talk."
"I've got to oversee the rebuilding of the castle." Valerie sighed, being in charge sucked some days. "But when we're done, I'd love to talk more about joining your alliance." She reached out and shook Azazel's hand. "I'll come visit you in Japan when we're done here."
"Sounds good." He smiled.
"Why do I feel like we're forgetting something or someone?" Issei asked no one in particular.
(-)
In Valhalla...
"Lord Odin!" Freya yelled in anger as she chased the elder God. "How dare you steal my panties?!" Behind her were dozens of Valyries, all screaming at Odin in anger.
"Run or we're both dead!" Happosai laughed as he and Odin ran with giant bags of panties slung over their shoulders.
(-)
"I'm sure it's not important." Azazel waved him off.
"So, shall we head to Japan?" Michael asked, getting a nod from everyone.
"What about our clothes?" Irina asked, as she realized that they still had a lot of clothes back in Vahalla.
"I'll send a request to the Norse." Azazel waved her concerns off.
"So what are we going to do about that?" Mittelt asked as she looked at Jedah's flying fortress, which suddenly blinked out of reality. "Um..."
"Don't ask, the old man who taught me magic once said things like that were common." Ranma muttered as magic washed over them and the group disappeared.
(-)
In Nerima...
"Papa! Mama!" Atsuko yelled as she carried Victor over her shoulders and into the labs. "I'm back! Oh! Ryuunosuke-chan! Eimi-chan! Hi!"
"What are you doing with that?!" Eimi asked as she looked at the large body in shock.
"Is this the Eimi you told Victor about?" Said body suddenly spoke up, causing the android to jump in surprise as Atsuko put him down. "Greetings, little sister."
"HUH?!" Eimi and Ryuunosuke both gawked at him.
"Well..." Kyusaku smirked as he saw the large creature. "I'm sure there's a story behind this."
"This is Victor, he was a creation of Professor Gerdenheim's."
Kyusaku and Ryuunosuke both stared at Atsuko, who was grinning at them. "I... See..." The older scientist said as he looked at the blue-skinned creature.
"Little sister, thank you, Victor can finally move his legs again. Father's self-repair modifications work well." Victor said as he stood up, before stopping and sitting back down. "Lab is too small for me, it seems." He looked at Kyusaku seriously. "Victor was told that you are a genius with androids. Please save my little sister Emily."
Atsuko grinned at her father's confused look. "Don't you remember? You based my original android body off of Professor Gerdenheim's research into them."
Kyusaku's eyes lit up. "Oh right! Now I remember! So you're saying Emily broke down fully?" Victor nodded at him. "Where is she?"
"Victor left her in a secluded castle in Germany."
Kyusaku nodded at him. "Very well, Ryuunosuke go tell your mother that we're taking a trip to Europe."
"I just got back from Europe!" Atsuko pouted. "I'm going to go spend time with Ranma and make up for the days he was gone!" She spun and ran out of the laboratory.
Kyusaku chuckled. He could understand why Atsuko was acting that way. After all, he still acted that way around Akiko sometimes.
"Are you okay with this?" Eimi asked Kyusaku, who shrugged at her.
"Atsuko's a big girl and now she's a living girl. I'm not going to stop her unless she's doing something destructive."

"Hello, Lilith." Ranma spoke up as he found her on top of his parent's house. He mentally sighed as she didn't turn to face him, nor did she say anything. "Lilith Aensland, I have a new order for you." He watched as she stiffened in response. "My order is to disregard my previous orders completely."
Lilith felt her body throb for a moment before she sighed and relaxed. "...Master... You're an unbelievable asshole." She turned to look at him, tears in her eyes. "Why didn't you tell me what was going on? Why didn't you take me with you?"
"Because I wasn't sure how to tell you without tipping Jedah off. He seemed to know everything related to you." Ranma looked incredibly uncomfortable. "Where's everyone else?"
"Your parents are out of the house right now, Ravel and Kunou are back in Kuoh city and I stayed here until you came back." Lilith answered him. "So..."
"I can't be here too long," Ranma told her. "But I wanted to say..." He walked forward and hugged her, causing her to stiffen in shock. "I'm sorry, I won't do that again, ever. It hurt too much to do that to you."
"You better not!" Mittelt yelled as she flew up to glare at him. "Anyway, Yohko's in the room that had your name on it and I stripped her naked, you better hurry."
"What's this about a naked woman in Master's childhood bedroom?" Lilith asked, her eyes starting to sparkle.
"I transformed a dying Devil Hunter into a Devil and now I'm going to go lay in bed with her, both of us naked so that she can get Devil energy and heal faster."
"...I'm coming with!" Lilith didn't care if there was no sex, she just wanted to be next to Ranma.
"Sure." He nodded to her. Looking at Mittelt, she shrugged at him.
(-)
Downstairs in the Saotome household, Bulleta, Lilith II, Kuroka and Serafall were sitting around, looking at the place. "So..." Kuroka began and looked at Serafall. "How come I wasn't arrested, blown up or any of that fun stuff? I mean..."
"Oh? The criminal stuff?" Serafall asked, getting a nod from the Nekoshou. "You've been given a pardon." Kuroka blinked in surprise at her. "See, before Nabiki concocted this crazy plan to destroy the Khaos Brigade she gave us information about what happened in the past with you. We were able to use it to get all the old geezers who didn't like the thought of a SS rank criminal getting off scott-free to back off."
"Politics suck." Bulleta grumbled from her position on the couch. "So now what?"
"I'm going to wait here." Serafall grinned at her. "I need to talk to Ranma about some stuff and Sirzechs is going to be with Azazel over at Issei's the rest of the day explaining stuff."
"So what about you?" Bulleta looked at Lilith II.
"Staying with Ranma." The human Dragon said in a no-nonsense tone.
"Eh, fine with me." Bulleta commented and shrugged. She kind of liked the Dragon, the little girl wasn't afraid of her. Which was really weird and kind of nice.
(-)
In Kuoh City...
"So for now I'll take Akane and Leonardo to Heaven to heal their minds from the damage that Jedah did to them." Michael nodded to Nabiki. "Don't worry, nothing bad will happen to your sister."
"I know Lord Michael, it's just..." Nabiki sighed as she looked at Leonardo and Akane. "I should have tried to get to them sooner."
"From what I was told, Nabiki Tendo, you couldn't have done so without causing more damage." Irina spoke to her as they stood outside of Issei's home in Kuoh City. "Thank you for doing this, Lord Michael, I know you're busy."
"It's quite alright, I would be remiss if I didn't try to help our allies out after all." He gave them a soft smile as light covered him, Leonardo and Akane. "Anyway, we'll take them to Heaven and work to fix the damage that was done to them."
Nabiki nodded and sighed as Michael disappeared with Leonardo and Akane's comatose bodies. "This sucks."
Irina patted her on the shoulder. "It could be worse. They could be dead."
Nabiki nodded and sighed again.
"By the way, where's Ophis?" Irina asked in confusion.
"Resting at our place." Nabiki answered her. "She'll recover on her own, but it'll take some time for her system to flush all that stuff out of her."
"So, now what?" Irina asked her.
Nabiki grinned at the Angel. "Well, now I need to head home and prepare some extra rooms. There's going to be some new people moving in with Ranma."
Irina blinked as she heard that.
(-)
Meanwhile inside...
"So this whole thing..." Issei began as everyone sat around the living room while Azazel and Sirzechs lounged on the couch. "Was planned out months ago?"
"Yep." Azazel grinned at him. "Everything, from Ranma joining Jedah to the attack on the school to him stabbing me and most everything that followed."
"...How did you plan THAT out?" Xenovia asked, looking at Azazel in confusion.
"I had a "stab me here" sticker on my back." Azazel smirked at them. "Oh, it hurt like a bitch, don't fool yourselves into thinking it didn't hurt, but at least it wasn't fatal."
"Yes, anyway..." Sirzechs spoke up. "We had to keep most of you in the dark, because the fewer people that knew what was going on, the better. There are other reasons that we had Ranma do it, but the fact that he had personal reasons to go after Cao Cao helped a lot."
"So basically because it looks like Ranma went rogue and betrayed us we don't have to worry about any of the Khaos Brigade's backers getting upset at us." Azazel grinned at the confused looks the teens were giving him. "Oh come on, you really think that Ophis alone was enough to bring a lot of people together? Jedah was known for finding strong fighters for her and convincing them to join and there's a few Gods that exist out there that don't like the grand alliance that much, so they were likely backing the Khaos Brigade. If Ranma hadn't pretended to go rogue we may have had to deal with some serious political fallout."
"Won't you have to deal with it anyway?" Kiba asked, getting a nod from the two leaders.
"Yes, but this way we can mitigate the fallout." Azazel grinned at him. "Especially since we have evidence on some of those Gods backing the Khaos Brigade."
"Let's just say that it won't be as bad as it could be." Sirzechs spoke up. "Plus with the fact that Ranma basically disrupted the Khaos Brigade completely and helped us stop it... Well, let's just say that things will be more interesting in the near future."
"I guess." Rias said, yawning. "I'm tired."
"Yes, it is getting late." Azazel nodded. "Let's wrap this up, I feel like this whole adventure has taken almost four months instead of just one."
As everyone started to make their way out of the living room, Akeno grabbed Rias's arm. "Just one moment, Rias..."
"What?" She looked at her Queen, wondering what was up with her.
"I'll say this once." Akeno gave her a tight smile. "I'll give you and Xenovia a few days of alone time with Issei, then I'm going to finally get my turn with him." She ignored the cries of surprise from everyone as she looked at Rias, who sighed.
"Very well, I did promise that I would let you two have fun, didn't I?" She smiled at her friend. "Just don't go overboard."
"...SWEET!" Issei did a fist pump in the air as the others laughed.
"So what about you?" Xenovia asked Rossweisse. "Didn't you say something about wanting a threesome?"
"Ranma's not here, so I can wait a little bit." Rossweisse answered, her face red, causing more than one person to gawk at her. "...I said I was going to lose my virginity in a threesome with Issei and Ranma as soon as we rescued Ranma, but he's not here, so I'll wait a little more."
"...Rias..." Xenovia looked at the redhead and quickly walked over to her. "We've been having sex with Issei for awhile, we need to step it up so we get the first threesome."
"Yes." Rias nodded as Issei cheered while blood dripped out of his nose.
Azazel grinned, this was better than any soap opera.
"Issei..." Sirzechs spoke up suddenly. "I don't have a problem with you sleeping with my sister, but if you don't satisfy her, I will be upset."
Rias blushed and looked away. "Um, that's not a problem."
"Oh, in that case, have fun." Sirzechs smiled brightly and waved at Issei. "I'll leave you kids alone now."

The next morning...
"Ngh..." Yohko groaned as she stretched. "Ngh, where am I?" The last thing she remembered was passing out on the hard ground. "Why am I in a bed?" She asked and her eyes widened as she realized a few things.
One, she was naked. Two, an arm was around her stomach. Three, a warm body was pressed up against her back. And finally she was feeling something hard poking her butt.
"WHAT THE HECK?!" Yohko screamed and jumped out of bed, yelping as the blankets wrapped around her ankles and she tumbled out of bed and landed on her butt, causing her breasts to bounce. "Oww!"
"Urgh, that wasn't nice." Ranma muttered as he sat up and looked at her. "Hey, Yohko, sleep well?"
"Why am I naked? Why are you naked? Where am I? Why is your pet succubus sitting up and naked?"
"To answer your questions, you're in Nerima, specifically my parent's home." Ranma held up one finger. "The rest is because you were dying and I turned you into a Devil to save your life, but it was taking time for the energy to stabilize and heal you and the fastest way to do it, apparently, is for a Devil to transfer their energies into you and the best way to do that is by sleeping naked next to each other."
"...So we didn't have sex?"
"No."
"Dammit!" Yohko cursed, causing Ranma to gawk at her in surprise. "I'm SICK of being a virgin still!"
"I can fix that." Lilith grinned as she sat up.
Ranma just face-palmed. "We need to get dressed and I'll give you the run-down on being a Devil, okay?"
Yohko frowned for a moment before concentrating. "I wonder..." When her Soul Sword appeared in her hands, she stared at it in shock. "I thought it wouldn't respond to me."
"It's part of you." Ranma shrugged at her. "Xenovia's a Devil and still has her Holy powers."
"Oh, neat." Yohko dismissed her sword. "So... A Devil Hunter being a Devil? This is going to be weird."
"Don't worry, you aren't the first person who fought against Devils to be turned into one." Serafall said as she opened the door, causing Yohko to cry out in shock and grab the blanket to cover herself up. "What? You've got nothing I haven't seen before, plus you're quite lovely." She giggled as Yohko blushed. "Ah, Ranma, honey, you should know that Mittelt, Bulleta, the little Dragon girl, Kuroka and your Atsuko girl are all downstairs. Your mother came home last night with your father and were shocked by all of us being here."
"I bet." Ranma sighed. "So did anyone tell her..."
"My manly son!" Nodoka burst into the room, knocking Serafall over, much to Ranma and Lilith's shock. "Oh! You were busy being extra manly this morning I see!"
"EEEP! Why is everyone coming in when I'm naked?!" Yohko's face was redder than Rias Gremory's hair.
"Kind of, I was helping Yohko get a new lease on life and Lilith wanted to cuddle all night and..." Ranma trailed off as Lilith II came into the room, crawled onto the bed and hugged Ranma. "Hey, kiddo." He patted her back. "...You're going to be extra-clingy, huh?" She nodded. "Great, now I have two daughters."
"YAY! GRANDBABIES!" Nodoka squealed in delight.
"Well, I like this better than not being around you for a few months." Lilith giggled softly. "Oh, Master, speaking of kids..." She gave him a stern look. "You best be ready... In less than a year..."
"Ah, right." Ranma nodded at her, sweating slightly.
"What's this about making babies?" Kuroka asked as she pushed her way into the room. "You promised me you'd make babies with me too!"
"...Yes, yes I did." Ranma sweat-dropped as Nodoka started cheering happily while Serafall pushed herself to her feet.
"Mouuu! I better get in on this if I don't want to be left behind." The Devil King pointed dramatically, causing everyone to look at her in surprise. "...Can't a Devil King want to have happy loving sex too?"
Yohko groaned and buried her face in her hands. "What did I get myself into?"
(-)
Days later...
Yohko sighed as she, Ranma, Azazel and Irina stood in front of her family, who were all still frozen statues. "I thought..."
"The curse was enhanced by Jedah from what Nabiki told me." Ranma told her softly. "It wasn't meant to be powered by any one source and is supposed to last forever."
"Which is why you asked for me to be here, huh?" Irina asked, getting a nod from Ranma. "Yeah, I'll head up to Heaven and look into getting this curse removed." She winked at Yohko, who was giving her a grateful look. "After all, who better to break a curse like this than Heaven? It might take a long time though."
"That's fine, if they can be freed from it, that's all that matters to me." Yohko wondered what she would tell her family when they were finally freed from the curse.
"Don't worry too much." Azazel spoke to her. "We'll free your family and then we'll talk to them about everything that happened. So what will you do now?"
Yohko gave Ranma a wry smirk. "Well, since I'm your knight and you're my king, I guess I need to move in with you, huh?"
"Well, that makes you, Lilith II, Bulleta and Kuroka joining my house now, huh?" Ranma scratched his cheek. "Things are going to get interesting."
Azazel laughed at him. "Take it from someone who's had a thousand harems, it never gets dull at least."
Yohko shook her head and looked at the statues. "Everyone, just wait a bit longer, I promise, we'll free you."
Azazel just smiled at the teens softly. "Well, come on, we need to transfer miss Yohko to your school and other stuff. Oh, and you and the rest of the Occult Research Club have a LOT of homework to catch up on, young man."
Ranma cringed at the look Azazel was giving him. "I'm not getting out of it, am I?"
"Nope!" Azazel grinned.
"This is revenge for stabbing you, isn't it?"
"Yep." Azazel laughed as the four disappeared in a flash of light when he teleported them out of the area.
(-)
Meanwhile...
"I'm so glad that I made you get a replica of that half-Vampire's Sacred Gear, Euclid."
"Of course, Jedah." The silver-haired Devil smirked at Jedah, who was somewhat injured, but still capable of moving. "Otherwise your plans would have fallen through."
"Indeed." Jedah chuckled as he walked up to the table where the broken and bleeding form of Rivezim Livan Lucifer lay. He couldn't help but whistle at the extent of damages done to his body.
"Je ... dah," gasped the dying Devil.
"My, my," smirked Jedah, his whistling stopped, as he knelt beside the Devil. "So thus ends the Prince of Hell, not with a bang ... but a whimper and a gurgle, done in by a weak human. Your father would be so proud."
"Help... me," Rivezim pleaded.
"Oh, I plan, to," Jedah hissed, as his arm started to glow with the power that Lilith II had given to him. "And I'll do it, just like those useless missionaries on Earth do."
Rivezim's eyes widened in fear as Jedah gave him a grin of satisfaction.
"After all," he sneered, before thrusting his arm into the body of the Son of the First Devil, "there's only one thing of yours that I value and want to save: your soul."
Dance With the Devil Betrayal End
And THAT is why I named this arc Betrayal.
It will be a little bit before the next arc will be posted. Not long, a week or two.
And now, two Omakes by Innortal
"How do you plan to interrogate her?" asked Morrigan.
"Fallen-even their children-have a defined sexual response," Jedah said. "Depending on the situation, they are either submissive or dominant.
"So for her ... I will put her in a sickeningly sweet room from a children's TV show, with nothing sexual at all surrounding her, as they sing pre-school songs all ... the ... time."
"YOU SICK BASTARD!" yelled Akeno.
"So let me get this straight," the Dead Apostle of the Clocktower said. "You were trained by another version of me."
"Right," Ranma said.
"And he gave you a kaleidoscope-actual one and not the one he uses-to summon him if you needed something like training or answers."
"Also right."
"And one of your friends learned of it, grabbed it, demanded it show him the 'biggest titties in the universe'."
"Issei's perversion needs to be turned down," Ranma sighed. "He broke the multiverse with it now."
The old Apostle nodded. "And since he boosted it with some gear, it shattered."
"Big boom."
"And now everyone in that meeting hall might be spread across multiple realities."
