Ranma 1/2, High School DxD, Darkstalkers and the rest are owned by their respective owners. I own nothing.

If only I did.

It's finally time to get to the endgame of this arc.


Chapter 20

As he flew through the air, Ranma jerked in surprise as he saw Vali and La Fey standing on a hill. "What are you two doing here?"

Vali gave Ranma a side-ways glance and shrugged. "Waiting for you, apparently."

La Fey pouted and looked glum. "I'm sorry, Lord Vali, I tried to break the dimensional barrier, but whatever this spell is, it's far more advanced than anything I can undo." It was then that Ranma noticed that the air in front of La Fey and Vali looked like a giant crystal flower.

"Well, that..." Ranma trailed off as the flower suddenly started to shift and move, spinning open revealing a small girl with dark purple hair which was done up in a long braid that went down to her hips. She was wearing a light blue dress with a black and white hood that looked like a jester cap over her head, she had golden eyes and a scythe in her hands. "...Wait, aren't you that cute reaper girl that helped us with the Bishamon armor?"

"Ah!" The girl's eyes widened and she smiled. "Yeah, thanks again for dealing with that thing, Lord Hades was quite pleased." She then bowed to the group. "Sorry, but Lord Jedah didn't want to be disturbed until now."

"...How come you're transparent?" La Fey asked and the girl smiled.

"I'm just a projection." She giggled. "The real me is working on a grand spell. Anyway, the spell is..." There was a suddenly surge of power as the sky itself behind her turned green. "Ah, it's complete. Just head towards the light." She paused and tapped her chin. "I guess that isn't the best thing for a Reaper to say, huh?" She giggled and started to fade away. "Anyway, only you two," she pointed at Ranma and Vali, "are welcome in."

"And why should I listen?" La Fey asked before blinking as Vali put a hand on her shoulder. "Lord Vali?"

"Let's not risk anything, okay?" Vali told her. "Besides, if something happened to you, Kuroka wouldn't have anyone to wash her clothes."

Ranma groaned in disgust. "I live in a house with over ten other people and most of them are complete slobs." It was a good thing that some of them knew how to clean, because otherwise he would have gone crazy from all the messes that were left around. He pointed at La Fey, "are you good at cleaning?"

"Maybe." La Fey gave Ranma an annoyed look. "I get what you're thinking, I don't agree with it." She crossed her arms over her chest and huffed. "I'm a very powerful mage, not a maid, I don't see why I should clean your place up."

Ranma scratched his head. "...Kuroka's pregnant and has been wondering if you'd be there for her when she starts to show."

The next thing Ranma knew, La Fey was right in front of him, clasping his hands, her eyes having stars in them. "OHMYGOSHSHESPREGNANTOHIBETTHEYLLBESOCUTE!"

Ranma sweat-dropped and nodded. "So, um..."

La Fey let go of Ranma's hands and put her right hand over her mouth as she cleared her throat. "After careful consideration, I have decided that you need someone who can clean up around your place. I shall gladly accept your wonderous offer."

Ranma and Vali both sweat-dropped heavily as she waved them goodbye while they stepped inside, only for the crystal flower to slide and move, closing behind them.

After it was closed, La Fey smiled and looked up. "Well, I hope that everything will be okay in there." She then had stars in her eyes as she thought about Kuroka having babies. "OHMYGODTHEYLLBESODARNCUTE!" She squealed in delight while putting her hands on her cheeks and jumping around in place.

As they flew over the sandy desert, Ranma looked around confused. While the sands were a large area, there was a lot of trees that he could see in the distance. Looking to his left, he saw that there was a large body of water in the distance. "Where is this?" Ranma asked Vali, who snorted.

"It's part of the Lucifer estate." Vali had a disgusted look on his face. "Can't believe I'd ever come back here."

"...Oh right, you're Lucifer's descendant." Ranma muttered and Vali twitched in annoyance. "...At least your grandfather's dead?" Vali gave Ranma a flat stare before nodding. "Also, what is with the sand?"

Vali merely shrugged as they flew towards the green spiraling energy pillar. "I don't know, it was here before my grandfather was born, so who knows?" The two tried to fly close to the pillar, but to their surprise, energy spun around the pillar, making it dangerous to get any closer as they were pushed back and forced closer to the ground.

"HEY!" They looked down and saw Issei waving up at them from on top of a rock several meters away from the pillar. The two flew down and Vali snorted and looked away. "Nice to see you too, jackass." Issei grumbled and then turned his attention to Ranma. "Sorry, I can't get close at all, I was boosted like twenty times and the best I could do was get three steps closer than what you two did."

"Of course you can't get close." A female voice said and the three turned to see the same reaper as before, but still transparent. She smiled at them. "Hi. Look, I thought I'd let you three know that unless you can teleport to where I and Valrie are at, you won't get any closer." She giggled at their looks. "Look, don't worry, we're just fishing for a soul in the Well of Lost Souls."

"...By the Abyss, THAT'S what that is?!" Ranma yelped, his face pale as both Vali and Issei gave him a confused look. "The Well of Lost Souls, where beings too powerful to be reaped fall into. Or souls that just get forgotten about. Anyone or anything in there has the power to be a true threat to reality. ...Does Jedah want to absorb a soul from there? He'd destroy himself!"

"Well, only if I tried to absorb the souls found within." Jedah's voice came from behind the reaper, who smiled and disappeared while Jedah walked out from a tear in space behind her. "Bennia is a good girl, isn't she?" He chuckled and smirked at Ranma. "You're correct about what would happen to me if I absorbed a soul from there. It would consume and destroy me. But what about a body with no soul?"

"That's impossible." Vali scoffed. "As soon as someone is concieved, they have a soul, a fully born person? Unless you can rip their soul out of them, they couldn't take a new soul into them. And that's just hoping that their body doesn't just outright reject it."

"Of course." Jedah nodded at the silver-haired young man. "Using a living person? Impossible. Dead bodies are useless for holding souls in them." He snapped his fingers. "And so... I decided that I needed something special." His eyes glowed as the area shook and Ranma, Vali and Issei all stumbled as the ground shifted and changed while the area morphed and warped. "Welcome to the Fetus of God." Jedah declared to them. The area had changed to a fleshy pink and behind Jedah was the largest half-complete human baby that any of them had ever seen.

Looking around, Vali frowned in confusion. "Why is it..." He trailed off as he took a good look behind Jedah and his expression changed to one of sheer disgust.

"Eww... What is that?" Issei asked with a similarly disgusted look on his face. He took a step back and when he heard a wet, squishy sound, he looked like he wanted to be anywhere but there.

Ranma gave him a flat expression. "Crack open an anatomy book once in awhile." He turned to look at Jedah. "So, we're in a giant womb of some sort with a big fetus that looks like its skull hasn't fully formed?"

"Eww, do I need to take a shower after this?" Issei asked as he looked at the flesh he was standing on. "...Icky."

"I actually agree with this numbskull on this one." Vali said as he grimaced. "This is disgusting."

Ranma gave both of them flat expressions. "If we get through this, you two are going to go work for some farms that need their barns cleaned of animal crap."

"On second thought, this isn't that disgusting." Issei and Vali both said at the same time.

Jedah chuckled at their antics. "As amusing as this is..." He snapped his fingers, returning them to the desert sands. "It was merely an illusion, I'm not so foolish as to fight where one of you three might get cute and try to abort the baby." He smirked at their annoyed expressions.

"You know what?" Vali said with some annoyance in his voice. "I'm going to end you, right now." He jumped at Jedah, becoming engulfed in white light.

"Wait!" Ranma yelled out to no avail as Vali's speed picked up and he rocketed towards Jedah.

"Vanishing Dragon, Balance Break." Albion proclaimed as Vali rushed at Jedah, who grinned at the White Dragon Emperor as he got closer.

There was a clanging sound and both Ranma and Issei looked on confused as Vali was standing still. "What's going on?" Issei asked Ranma.

"That bastard's incredibly clever, there's no way he didn't have a trap set up ahead of time." Ranma twitched. "Don't rush in on someone who manipulates events to his advantage."

"Divide." While it was something that they expected to hear, the way it was said was entirely robotic and mechanical. When Vali fell backwards and crashed onto his back, both Ranma and Issei ran towards him in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Jedah asked as his scythe-like wings disappeared and a familiar white and blue set of wings appeared on his back.

"No way..." Issei gasped in surprise. "That's..."

"Divine Dividing." Vali, still in his armor, stared in shock.

Ranma tilted his head. "It looks off-color to me." The white wings that attached to Jedah's back looked slightly darker than normal and the blue wings looked almost gray in color. "What the hell?" Ranma gasped as Jedah raised up his left arm and a familiar looking gauntlet appeared on it. "An orange Boosted Gear? But how are you using both?"

"YEAH!" Issei yelled while his eyes were white and blank with anger as he pointed at Jedah. "Just grabbing one of Vali's balls was enough to cause me extreme pain." A moment later, he realized what he said as Ranma, Vali and Jedah all gave him weird looks, and Vali's face was completely covered. "OH COME ON!" Issei's face was red as he yelled in protest. "You know what I meant!" Shaking his head to clear it, he glared at Jedah. "Just using one of those orbs really hurt! I can't even use my Dividing Gear without risking it killing me! So how are you..?" He trailed off as Jedah chuckled.

"That's actually a fair question." Jedah grinned at Issei and then he looked at Vali. "If I had tried to use replicas of both Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing at the same time, then yes, it would have torn my soul apart. However, your grandfather was quite... Generous with his donation."

"...Oh, so you used my grandfather's soul to act as a buffer so you could use both Sacred Gears without getting killed." Vali said as he stood up. "I guess I should thank you. I wondered what happened to that bastard."

"You should all thank me." Jedah smirked at him. "Had I not ripped his soul out of his body, he would have used his death to break the seal on Trihexa and sent this world into chaos." He held up his left hand and enjoyed the Boosted Gear on it. "So, while I did manipulate people to do what I wanted, I ended up saving the world. How about a little appreciation for that?"

"No." Ranma said flatly while pulling out his artificial Sacred Gear.

"No." Vali answered as well.

"Yeah, I'm with them." Issei said as Boosted Gear formed on his left arm. "Let's go, Jedah."

Jedah watched as Ranma and Issei were engulfed in green and red light respectively and he grinned. "Well, since you three are going to wear armor..."

"No way..." All three said as both Divine Dividing and Boosted Gear started to glow on Jedah before he was engulfed in orange and gray light. When it was over, the three of them could only stare in shock.

Hovering in the air was an orange and black striped scale mail, with the main body looking like Vali's scale mail, including the large wings, but the hands were two Boosted Gears.

Chuckling, Jedah formed his replica True Longinus in his right hand and held it to the side. "Behold... You can call me Super Jedah in this form."

"Well... This sucks." Ranma muttered as he prepared for a fight.

End Chapter 20


Okay, Omake time. I wanted to put this in the chapter, but couldn't find a place to put it, so, have it here.


"Issei..." Ranma patted Issei on the back. "I completely understand how you felt when you were raped by Raynare."

"Eh?!" Issei gasped in shock. "You mean you were..?"

"Yes, a dickgirl raped me as well."

Issei teared up and grabbed Ranma's hand. "It sucks when a dickgirl fucks your ass, huh?"

Ranma sweat-dropped. "Well, I was a girl at the time, so..."

"YOU BASTARD! You let someone else stuff your girl's side pussy with their dick and not me?!"

The next thing Issei knew, he was face-down in the dirt.

Vali sweat-dropped heavily. "Get a room, you two."

Jedah just wondered if maybe this was too much craziness.
