Chapter 8

"Move!" Ravel yelled as she, Kuroka and Koneko all jumped out of the way as the Nekoshou crashed into where they were. There was a yell of power as energy erupted from where she was at and from the pillar, hands of pure energy launched themselves at the three Devils, who quickly moved out of the way of the hands. The hands opened up and needle-thin blasts quickly covered the area, slamming into the ground, trees, castle and more.

Flying into the air, Ravel held her arms to her sides, her palms up as balls of fire formed in them. She raised her arms until her palms touched above her head and the fire merged, swirling around into a concentrated orb that erupted upwards into a big pillar of flame, which had the side-effect of creating an updraft that caused her hair and skirt to rise into the air, which showed off the red G-string panties that she was wearing.

Letting out a yell, Ravel dropped her arms, dropping the fire pillar down like a large sword that slammed into the energy pillar, which only seemed to change from blue and white to red in color.

"Hold on!" Koneko called out as orbs surrounded her before launching themselves upwards and surrounding Ravel's fire pillar, a moment later, more orbs, courtesy of Kuroka, surrounded the pillar of fire. With the energy pouring from Koneko and Kuroka, the power built and eventually crackled, traveling along the pillar of fire as though it was strands of animated electricity and into the pillar of energy that was building up pressure.

"Uh..." Kuroka gulped as the center of the pillar started to expand and grow. "Maybe we should..."

She didn't get to finish that as the energy build-up was so immense that it exploded, sending them all flying away.

The Nekoshou gasped as she was slammed into the wall, where she stayed for a few moments before slowly sliding to the ground as gravity took over. She growled as she landed on her feet and swayed while looking down. "We forgot that Kuroka was a prodigy, even by our standards. To think that her sister would be equivalent to her." She looked up as Kuroka, Koneko and Ravel recovered. "In that case..."

The Nekoshou let loose a yell as a dark aura erupted from her and suddenly there were six copies of her. "Go!"

"Yes!" The six nodded and rushed at the sisters and Ravel.

She grinned as the six jumped at the three that were standing still and watching. "Yes, soon you'll be..."

Before she could finish that, she found her legs getting kicked from behind, forcing her onto her ass and the next thing she knew, her legs were being sat on by someone as a click-clack sound was heard and she felt something against her stomach. Before she could react, there was something pressing on her shoulder and something sharp touched her neck.

"Well, well..." The person, a small blonde, the Nekoshou noted idly, sitting on her legs grinned. "It's too bad that you didn't rush in there with those copies, we wouldn't know which one to jump if that was the case."

"I would call them off before we decide to end you." The brunette with a sword to her throat said and the Nekoshou growled and opened her mouth to say something.

There was a bang and the Nekoshou gasped in pain as the one sitting on her legs shot her in the stomach before pointing a second gun over her shoulder and firing three times, destroying three of her copies. "Didn't we tell you to call them off?"

"Bulleta?" Ravel gasped in surprise as the other three copies all stood still, unsure of what to do. "Yohko? I thought you two left to check out that volcano."

"Huh?" Yohko blinked in surprise while keeping her sword pressed against the Nekoshou's throat. "Oh, we did. The two of us aren't the real ones." She jerked her left thumb over her shoulder, revealing Lillie and Leonardo standing at the door.

"...I sometimes forget that his Sacred Gear is that powerful." Kuroka muttered, knowing that Annihilation Maker could create anything the user could imagine. Being able to make copies of actual people hadn't occurred to her and she suspected that there were limits, but creating copies of Yohko and Bulleta?

That was obviously doable, and terrifying.

"...Leonardo," Ravel smiled at the dark-skinned boy, "please promise me that you will never create an army of Bulleta." He nodded at her. "And where did you get the idea to do this?"

Leonardo looked conflicted and looked at Yohko, who smirked. "Well, Ranma wanted to know what his Sacred Gear could do, so he asked Leonardo to create a copy of Ranma to spar against."

Bulleta grinned as the Nekoshou cried out in pain and pressed her gun against the creature's stomach. "Let's see... Either you calm down or I'll put another bullet in you. And my bullets and her sword are REALLY good at killing things like you."

"We've already died once." The Nekoshou glared at her with tears coming out of her eyes.

Bulleta suddenly had a wide grin on her face as she trailed the gun's barrel down from the Nekoshou's stomach, down to her thighs and then between her legs as she pushed the fabric of the Nekoshou's panties out of the way. "Oh really?"

"H-hey!" The Nekoshou had a look of discomfort on her face. "That hole is not meant for entering."

"Speak for yourself." Koneko muttered, while blushing at the looks she got. "...Too risky to have kids, I still want sex, okay?"

Kuroka shook her head. "Well, you got a good mate at least."

The Nekoshou growled but did as Bulleta and Yohko told her to do, especially since the gun was actually starting to push into her asshole. "That hurts." She growled while dismissing her clones.

"Good." Bulleta grinned at her. "Maybe I won't pull the trigger as I use this gun to rape your ass then?" Her grin turned predatory as the Nekoshou gave her a look of fear. "And just so you know, you can't do anything since Lillie put an anti-spirit field around here. Right now, you're just a little girl."

"...Scary."

"Damn right!" Bulleta's grin was so savage that her teeth looked like fangs and were numerous.

Koneko leaned over to Ravel. "...Is the real one this bad?" She whispered.

"Only when she's in a bad mood. We're still cleaning up the zombie remains from a few months ago." Ravel whispered back.

Koneko sweat-dropped and nodded.

Meanwhile on the other side of the castle...

There was a large explosion that caused a crater almost ten meters away from the castle. Cologne wasn't breathing hard, though her breathing was elevated, but her outfit had tears and there were singe marks on her body. "You..." She stared as the smoke cleared, revealing an unharmed, outside of dirt on his body, Raven. "...I severely underestimated you."

"If it makes you feel better," Raven said as he dusted himself off, "I never thought a human could fight as well as you do. The fact that you reversed several magical attacks and actually forced me to expend effort is impressive. But..." A dark aura surrounded him as he crossed his arms and spoke in a language that Cologne couldn't understand. "I think it's time to wrap this up. My companion seems to need help."

Cologne staggered and looked down as vines were wrapping around her legs before more wrapped around her arms, squeezing and pulling, holding her still. "How the hell are you doing this?"

"All of nature obeys the Fae." Raven told her as his aura turned into a giant black bird. "Those that are unnatural have no chance against us."

Raven flew up into the air before diving at the prone form of Cologne, who could only watch as the attack came down at her.

There was a rumbling sound and the next thing Cologne knew, a giant hand was grabbing Raven out of mid air and slamming him into the ground.

"Oh dear me!" A female voice said as a cute blonde floated down to where Cologne was. "I disappear for a few weeks to see my brother and this happens." She said a few words that caused the vines holding Cologne still to loosen and let go.

"La Fey Pendragon." Cologne nodded her thanks. "I don't know how helpful you'll be," she said as La Fey turned and put a hand on her hat, "that's a member of the Fae."

La Fey blinked a few times before her eyes widened in surprise. "Oh, well, my family has a history with them." Cologne gave her a surprised look and La Fey smiled at her. "Excalibur was originally given to my ancestor by the Lady of the Lake after all, before it was shattered and reforged into seven pieces." She looked at where Raven was and smiled. "Oh Goggy woggy! Please take care of him!"

Gogmagog didn't say anything as Raven shook his head and looked up at the giant, whos eyes were glowing. "Ah crap, this thing?! Created by the Ancient Gods to fight against my kind?" He dodged out of the way as two powerful lasers blasted from Gogmagog's eyes, creating a domed explosion.

"What?!" Both Cologne and La Fey gasped at the same time.

"Before my time, but perhaps Queen Mab could shed more light on this, she was alive back then." Raven shook his head and gave Gogmagog a look of appraisal before grimacing as its right hand morphed into a machine gun. "It really isn't worth it to fight something that was designed to fight against my kind." He gave a two finger salute before disappearing in a flash of black light.

"Go." Cologne told La Fey, "take your golem and get to the other side of the castle. Hurry!" The blonde nodded and she, Cologne and the golem disappeared in a flash.

Kuroka was about to ask the Nekoshou something when the sky turned dark. She and the others looked up, only to see lots of ravens filling the sky before they dive-bombed everyone and started attacking them. Both Bulleta and Yohko were kicked off of the Nekoshou as Raven appeared next to her. "Time to go." Raven said as he grabbed the injured girl and threw her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

"We do appreciate the assist, but we do not appreciate having our ass on display." The Nekoshou told him.

"Tough." Raven said and gave her butt a swat. "Also, why are your panties torn?"

"Blame the bitch with the gun, now get us out of here before they shoot us."

Raven rolled his eyes as the two disappeared in a flash of black energy. This had the bonus effect of having the ravens disappear just as Cologne, La Fey and Gogmagog appeared in the court yard.

"Damn, they got away." Cologne cursed as she quickly went over to check on how everyone was doing. La Fey ran over to Kuroka.

"Are you okay?" La Fey asked her friend, who shook her head. "What's wrong?"

"...We were fighting a Nekomata," Kuroka told her and La Fey looked confused, "she said that she was the collected souls of all the Nekomata that were murdered because of my actions. But, how is that possible?"

"Well, we're dealing with a Fae, so..." La Fey tapped her chin in thought before her eyes widened. "Oh right! Cat Siths!" Kuroka frowned in confusion as La Fey clarified for her. "They're Fae who deal with the dead! It wouldn't surprise me if that's how those souls all came together in a new body was because of that."

"...That makes sense." Kuroka nodded, before gasping. "My sons! They're probably scared!" She quickly ran back into the castle, followed by Koneko and La Fey.

Once the three of them got to the room, Kuroka grabbed Tenma and Daidama, who were screaming, and held them against her while trying to soothe their worries. "It's okay. Mommy's here. Shhh... Shhh... It's okay, it's okay."

Koneko walked over to Kuroka and nodded at her sister. "...Can I take one, big sis?" Kuroka had a look of surprise, before smiling, her eyes tearing up, as she handed Tenma to Koneko.

La Fey smiled as she watched the scene. 'It seems like you finally got what you wanted, Kuroka.' She thought to herself as the sisters worked to calm the babies down. 'Your sons are safe and your sister seems to have finally forgiven you.'

Meanwhile on Earth...

Walking into the park, Asia looked around, surprised to not see anyone walking through the park, but the music continued to get louder. As she walked forward, she eventually found a blonde woman wearing a sweater and pants sitting on a bench. "That song..."

The singer stopped and turned to smile at her. "Did you like it?" She asked with a smile. "I used to sing it to my daughter when she was a baby."

"Really?" Asia asked in surprise. "It sounds so personal though, I thought I heard it before."

"Well, maybe it's just similar to songs that you heard as a baby?" The woman smiled at her. "Oh, I should introduce myself. My name is Mab."

"Ah!" Asia's eyes widened. "My name is Asia Argento."

"Asia, huh?" Mab asked rhetorically. "Forgive me, but that name doesn't seem to fit you."

"Well, it's the name that I was given at the church's orphanage." Asia told her. "I was dropped off as an infant when my mother abandoned me." Mab gave her a sad look. Asia quickly waved her hands while getting flustered. "Ah! I know it sounds cruel, but I harbor no ill will towards my biological mother." Asia smiled and closed her eyes while clasping her hands together. "After all, it was that decision that she made that allowed me to meet my family."

Mab gave her a wry smile. "Still, abandoning you, that doesn't sound right." A whimsical look came to her face. "Then again, I'm not the best parent. My son had to wrest control of our people away from me due to how I acted in the past." She sensed, more than saw, Asia's confusion and waved her hand. "The past is the past, even rewinding time isn't something that I can do. It's unnatural after all."

"That doesn't mean that you can't wish to undo mistakes that you made in the past." Asia told her. "Maybe you wanted to change how you were in the past so you and your son could have a better relationship? Maybe you feel like you wasted your life in some way and wish that you were half your age and full of energy and would take better care of yourself?"

Mab suddenly snickered and threw her head back, laughing hard. "Hahahahahaha! You're much like my son, showing much more wisdom than I, who has seen many more sunrises than him." After calming down, she eyed Asia's covered hand. "An interesting ornament, may I see it?"

"Ah?" Asia looked at her gloved hand. "It's just a glove, it's nothing special."

"Really?" Mab gave her a knowing smile. "But gloves come in pairs, do they not? Why only one?" She smiled as Asia got more and more flustered as she got up and walked over to Asia and whispered in her ear. "And why aren't you using your real magic, Alfea?"

"Al...Fea?" Asia said softly, trying to comprehend where she had heard that name before. "Why does that sound familiar?"

"I would like to continue this, but it seems that we have people listening in on our conversation." Mab said as she closed her eyes and shook her head while putting her right hand on Asia's forehead. "Just rest, I'll deal with them."

"What are..?" Asia's eyes grew heavy and she slumped forward.

"Good girl, Alfea." Mab smiled as she caught the girl. "Your mother will make everything better."

Suddenly four people burst through the bushes and Mab raised an eyebrow. "Huh, is this the family that Alfea spoke of?"

"Who are you?" The girl with large breasts and long, black hair demanded. "What are you doing to Asia?"

"How rude." Mab said as her eyes glowed and a strong blast of wind came out of nowhere, blasting the girl off of her feet. "When lesser beings talk to those who are superior to them, use their proper names and titles! For your information, I am Queen Mab, former ruler of the Fae and Alfea's proper mother."

"I don't care who you are," the male with brown hair growled as his left arm glowed and a red gauntlet formed on it, "for attacking Akeno and doing whatever you did to Asia, I'm going to make you pay!"

"Welsh Dragon, Balance Break!"

Queen Mab raised an eyebrow as the male was covered in a red armor while the blonde girl pulled out a sword and the girl with twin tails grew two white wings and all three charged at her. Sighing softly, she whispered some words that none of her opponents would understand before she gently rotated her wrist.

"H-hey!" The boy in the red armor cried out as he found himself upside down. "Irina! Yukiko! What's going on?"

"I wish I could tell you!" Irina yelled as she was not only upside down, but also facing the wrong way. "I can't move my body!" She yelled, knowing her skirt had fluttered up, revealing her white panties to everyone.

"You three are naughty children." Queen Mab said as hands formed in the air behind Issei, Irina and Yukiko. "And as a mother, I must punish you for trying to attack me."

"Wait, what?" Yukiko gasped before she, Irina and Issei were all spanked by those disembodied hands. "Oww! That hurts!" Idly, she noticed that Issei's armor was instantly shattered by those hands as his ass was being spanked.

Queen Mab snapped her fingers and the three found themselves face-down on the ground. "Now, apologize and I might forgive you for your impudence." A crackle of power filled the air and Queen Mab looked up to see Akeno, with two black, feathery wings, covered in lighting as she flew at the former Queen of the Fae. "Oh? You can command lightning, huh?" A few words spoken in that same language caused the dirt itself to fly upwards and surround Akeno in a sphere of dirt and debris before crashing to the ground next to Irina and exploding outwards, covering all four of them with dirt.

"You..." Issei growled as he pushed himself up. "Bitch..."

"BOOST!"

"I won't..." Issei's gems were glowing while his armor instantly repaired itself.

"BOOST!"

"Let you take Asia from me!"

"BOOST!"

Queen Mab merely raised an eyebrow before holding a hand up. "Kneel, lizard."

A sudden crushing force pushed down on Issei, Irina, Akeno and Yukiko. The four of them gasped as it felt like their bodies were being crushed by the air itself.

Both Yukiko and Irina found it impossible to move after only a few moments while Akeno managed to force herself back up, as did Issei.

"BOOST!"

Queen Mab raised an eyebrow as Issei forced himself to his feet. "I see, that Dragon who powers you increases your strength, huh? Allow me to increase gravity even more then."

Suddenly Issei and Akeno were both pressed down into the ground, sinking into it as gravity became more and more intense. "This is..." Issei groaned as he felt his consciousness slipping away.

"Enough." A new voice spoke up and Queen Mab looked past them to see Ophis glaring at her. "Leave this place."

"...Ophis? The Dragon God?" Queen Mab asked and Ophis nodded. "Interesting, who are these to you?"

Ophis looked at Issei, Yukiko, Irina and Akeno and back at Queen Mab. "They're important to me." She pointed at Asia. "So is she. Give them back."

"I can give you these four." Queen Mab said as she flexed her fingers and Asia floated over to her. "But Alfea is my daughter. Even you, as strong as you are, have no claim on her." Queen Mab snapped her fingers and the gravity that was crushing Issei and the others returned to normal. "A fight between us would be glorious, but would not be worth my time."

"They will come for her." Ophis told Queen Mab, who nodded.

"We shall remain in this realm for three sunsets. The day of the fourth sunset, we shall depart for the Fae realm." Queen Mab said as she and Asia disappeared.

"A...Asssiiiaaa..." Issei slurred out as he watched Queen Mab and Asia disappear before he passed out.

Ophis walked over to him and sighed softly as she used her powers to return the four of them to their home. "...She's not someone that I could deal with as I am." She was just thankful that Queen Mab didn't realize that she was only half as strong as she used to be.

Which was still enough to be a match for her, but it wouldn't be an easy fight if they did fight.

'...I can't let Asia get hurt either.' Ophis thought as she appeared in the living room with the others and went to get Rias so they could figure out what to do next.

End Chapter 8

Yeah, the Fae are no joke.
