With Kiba, Xenovia and Koneko:
Kuoh Academy:
3rd Person POV:
"How much longer, old timer?" The white-haired priest, known as Freed Sellzen or Crazy Freed, asked the old priest, who just scoffed as he put his arms down. As he did so, the pillar of light slowly died down, the floating magic crests around all shattering one by one as a blade slowly rose from the ground.
It was a beautiful western broadsword, the blade a gleaming silver with light blue runic patterns running through the middle. The handle was a bright blue, with a shining gold pommel and even as it floated in the air, the aura coming from it was enough for Kiba and Koneko to take a step back as Xenovia tightened the grip on the greatsword in his grasp.
"There you go! One Fused Excalibur ready to be used." The old priest said with a satisfied girn, Freed walking to the blade before slowly wrapping his hand around the hilt, his grin widening as he tossed his head back while cackling manically.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YES! THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED!" Freed cackled as he raised the blade into the air with awe and wonder before he twisted his head back at the trio.
In the blink of an eye, Kiba was in front of Koneko, the two blades he created to block Freed's attack against Koneko disintegrating as they were both sent flying back. Xenovia didn't waste any time as she appeared behind Freed and slashed towards his neck only for her instincts to scream at her to duck.
Trusting them, she ducked just in time for the Freed in front of her to fade like a mirage as another three appeared around her, each thrusting their Excalibur forward into the air where her head previously was before she gasped as a hard kick to her back sent her rolling across the ground.
Thankfully, Koneko caught her and placed her down on the ground as they all frowned at seeing Freed not even following up his attack, too much in awe at his power as he grinned smugly at them.
"I didn't quite expect it to be this powerful! And this is just with four fragments! Imagine how powerful King Arthur was with all seven at his grasp. Freed, show me the true power of Excalibur right here!"
"Sure thing, old man Valper!" Freed exclaimed before he rushed towards the three of them, Koneko ducking under a slash before Kiba appeared above Freed, snarling as he brought down a large zweihander onto Freed's head while Xenovia attacked his neck and Koneko tried to sweep his legs out from under him.
All of those attacks were useless as Freed smirked before the blade in his grasp transformed into a shield, Koneko hissing as her leg made contact with the shield while Xenovia's and Kiba's attack were blocked. Koneko quickly jumped away as Freed pushed out the full tower shield with a loud roar, pushing Xenovia and Kiba back as Excalibur turned back into a broadsword before it transformed into an urumi-type sword.
Freed grinned as he pulled it back before swinging it forward, the blades shooting forward like tentacles and the trio quickly ducked and parried the weapons as they tried and failed to get closer to Freed.
Kiba, seeing a chance, bolted forward, not caring for the blades quickly across his back as he reappeared in front of Freed, who looked shocked before he gasped as Koneko appeared behind him and landed a sneak punch into his back.
They were not done as Kiba quickly slashed at his chest, but clicked his tongue as the whips quickly retracted and parried his attack, making him only cut Freed's right arm before they both jumped back as the blades quickly wrapped around Freed's form and hid him away like a cocoon.
"A wielder of Sword Birth? I must say, Freed, I didn't expect you to struggle this much against a simple exorcist and two Low-Class Devils." Valper said with an amused grin, which widened as Kiba glared at him with venom.
"Oh, don't worry. I'll finish up here then I'll personally come and kill you myself."
"I must ask and forgive me for not knowing, but what is our connection exactly? Are you perhaps a past experiment of mine?"
"The Holy Sword Project." Was all Kiba said and Valper frowned slightly in confusion before his eyes widened and his grin grew even more.
"You're the little boy who escaped from us. Well, as I live and breathe, if it isn't little Isaiah."
"You're not going to be living and breathing for long, Valper. I'll-!" Kiba didn't get a chance to finish his sentence as he gasped, Freed appearing in front of him with a manic grin on his face as a mace slammed into his chest and sent him rolling across the ground.
"Yuuto!" Koneko screamed as she turned around before she gasped as Freed appeared above her with a golden hammer before bringing it down. She bounced face first on the ground before Freed appeared besides her and roundhoused her across the ground to where Kiba was slowly pushing himself up.
Xenovia tried to stop him, but he just grinned as he disappeared and reappeared besides her, Excalibur back into its sword form as he quickly overwhelmed her with attacks from all sides before reappearing besides her and landing a hook that sent her rolling across the ground to where Kiba and Koneko were just staying on the ground.
"Nice work, Freed." Valper said as he walked towards Freed, who just scoffed as he wiped away the blood at the corner of his lips and rested Excalibur on his shoulder.
"It was really easy to kick their asses once I got the hang of this." Freed said with a cackle and Valper just rolled his eyes with a smirk before he turned to the trio, who were slowly stumbling to their feet as he chuckled.
"Do you want to know what happened to your old friends from the Project?" Valper asked Kiba, who froze as his head snapped up before his eyes widened as Valper reached into his coat and pulled out a shimmering blue crystal.
"This is what happened to them. I ripped their light containers from their bodies and with a bit of alchemy and science, condensed their energies into those small yet dense light containers, which is what the church uses to create Holy Sword Wielders who don't have enough light energy to use them." Valper said to Xenova, whose eyes widened in shock, before he tossed it at Kiba.
Quickly catching it, he looked at it and tears slowly formed in his eyes as Valper shook his head with a smile.
"The church ridiculed and excommunicated me for my experiments and yet, to this day, they continue to use my technology to create more soldiers, but what else can expect from humans? Nothing but hypocrisy and lies." Kiba didn't say anything as he just stared at the crystal, tears flowing down his face before his eyes widened as a few tears dripped onto the crystal and it began to glow brightly.
"Hey, old man. Is that supposed to happen?" Freed asked Valper, who didn't answer as he stared in shock at the brightly glowing crystal before his eyes widened further as light blue, ghost-like forms of children between the ages of 6 and 12 appeared around Kiba.
'You've grown, Isa.' A boy, who looked to be the oldest of the children, said with a soft smile and Kiba gave a tearful smile as he nodded.
"Still little compared to you, Big Bro Theano." Kiba said and the boy chuckled as he nodded, reaching forward and patting him on the shoulder.
'We all know that you want to avenge us, but we think it's time for you to let go. Live your life freely, make decisions that benefit you and start living the way you want to. Hell, go and get a girlfriend.'
"But…I need…I need to make sure your sacrifices weren't for no-!"
'Nope! You're living your own life from now on, okay?'
'Yeah, go and kiss a girl.'
'And have a baby!' 'Name it after me if it's a girl. Cleo is such a good name.' For the first time since he became a Devil, Kiba laughed happily as his friends rattled on, Valper stopping Freed from attacking as he wanted to see how far this would go.
"Fine, I'll do it for you all." Kiba said with a smile and they all nodded as they placed a hand on his body, Kiba closing his eyes with a peaceful smile as his friends slowly disappeared one by one, the oldest boy feeling the final one as he patted Kiba a few times on the shoulders before disappearing.
"Yuuto?" Koneko asked after a few seconds of silence, Xenovia frowning slightly in confusion at the smile on Kiba's face as he opened his eyes.
"I'm okay, Koneko." He said, Koneko giving a small smile back as they turned to the waiting Freed and Valper.
"What did you do?" Valper asked with a frown and Kiba chuckled as he glanced at his hands, a dark crimson aura emitting Demonic Energy covering his right hand and, to everyone's shock, a light blue aura emitting Holy Energy covering his left hand.
"I don't know either, but I do know this." The auras disappeared before the ground under Kiba cracked, his aura surging out as pitch black wrapped around pure white. A monochromatic helix pillar ripped through the night sky, crashing into the barrier above them as Kiba grinned excitedly at the shocked Valper and Freed.
"That's impossible." Valper muttered in shock as he watched the Holy and Demonic energies, two complete opposites, combining with each other and condensing around Kiba's right hand.
With a bright flash, a dark grey broadsword appeared in his grasp, a pitch black streak running through the middle of the blade and the handle and pommel a bright white.
"I made a promise, didn't I Valper? You're not going to be living and breathing any longer." And with a step, Kiba was in front of Valper, his blade piercing through his throat as Freed slowly turned his head in shock as Valper gasped.
"Burn in the lowest floors of Hell for your sins." Kiba whispered to Valper with a smirk before he spun in a full 360º, Valper's head flying through the air as Freed jumped away before he turned his head to the side as he saw Xenovia reaching into thin air.
She was slowly pulling out a large greatsword with a bright blue blade and handle that had golden accents running across it. Chains was keeping the blade inside the golden portal as Xenovia chanted.
"In the name of St. Peter, the blood of St. Basil and the love of the beloved Mother Mary, I release you from your burdens. Be free, Durandal!" The amount of Holy Energy that ripped through the air as Xenovia pulled the blade out made Freed stumble as it slammed into him.
"What?! I thought it didn't have any wielders!" Freed exclaimed and Xenovia chuckled as she gripped both of her blades tightly.
"Because unlike others, I'm a natural born Holy Sword wielder. Now, please take care not to die as it's a bit hard to control this sword." And with a lunge, she was in front of him, Durandal coming down onto his head and every instinct in Freed's body shouted at him to run.
He listened as he leapt away just in time for the blade to crash into the ground, his eyes widening as a colossal fissure ripped through the ground and right through half of the school grounds as Xenovia smirked at him.
With a roar, he created a sea of clones around them before his eyes widened as a forest of jagged Holy-Demonic blades ripped through them all, Kiba appearing in front of him. He barely blocked Kiba's slash before Koneko appeared from behind Kiba and snapped a roundhouse into his temple, making his vision spin before he gasped as Xenovia slashed with Durandal through his Excalibur and into his chest, a large gash spewing blood as the broken Excalibur fell to the ground.
"That was disappointing, but I suppose it wasn't the full Excalibur, so it wasn't as powerful." Xenovia muttered in slight disappointment as a golden portal appeared besides her once more and she slowly put Durandal back into the portal. Kiba walked towards the fallen Freed, who was coughing up blood as he looked up at the sky.
"Be free of this life and let God judge your soul." Kiba muttered softly, not even wincing at the slight migraine from mentioning God's name as Freed gave a bloody chuckle before Kiba sliced his head off.
'Be free, my friends, and rest peacefully in Heaven knowing that your fallen souls have been avenged.' Kiba thought with a peaceful smile as the blades in his grasps slowly cracked before shattering, looking up into the sky with a peaceful smile before looking down as Koneko pulled at his jacket while giving him a concerned smile.
"Yeah, let's go and help the others." He muttered as he gave the two corpses one final glance before walking towards where Rias, Akeno and Issei were supposed to be, Xenovia putting the fragments of Excalibur into her pocket dimension before resting her large greatsword on her shoulder as she and Koneko followed.
"I will not apologize for what I said the first day we met, but I will apologize for not knowing your circumstances." Xenovia said and Kiba chuckled as he nodded.
"It's okay, but I appreciate it. Now, let's go and finish this fight so you can leave." Xenovia just smiled at that as Koneko gave a small smirk before they started jogging.
*BBBBOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM*
All three of them jumped as they heard the loud booming thunder echoing throughout the courtyard, looking across the tree tops to see a pillar of yellow lightning scratch the roof of the barrier.
"I wonder if they actually need our help." Xenovia muttered, Kiba just chuckling as Koneko shoo her head.
A few minutes earlier:
With Issei, Rias and Akeno:
"Ah, I guess the Hero of Olympus would rather take care of the smaller threat before moving onto the bigger one." Kokabiel said as he saw Theo and Yasaka quickly attacking while Rias, Akeno and Issei walked towards his throne.
"Is your brother coming, Gremory?" Kokabiel asked with a smirk as his throne disappeared and he floated down towards the ground, frowning slightly as Rias grinned.
"No, we have all the help we need right here."
"Tch! I suppose asking for a nice fight before the war begins was too much to ask for. No matter, I suppose fighting your brother in the Second Great War will have to do."
"You're not going to see the light of day after today." Rias declared as the Power of Destruction wrapped around her form, lightning sparking around Akeno's body before both girls looked surprised as the Boosted Gear appeared on Issei's left hand.
"…I swear Theo-sensei just likes to keep secrets to himself." Rias muttered as Akeno giggled, Issei just chuckling as Kokabiel smirked at him.
"The Boosted Gear, huh? It's been a while since I fought a wielder of it. Let's see if you're just as strong as your predecessors." Issei didn't say anything as he slowly got into a fighting stance, Kokabiel chuckling as he slowly readied himself before the two of them exploded forward.
Bolts of bright yellow lightning and sparking spears of dark crimson destruction energy flew around Issei as he charged towards Kokabiel, who grinned before he destroyed them all with a barrage of light spears.
Issei did not deter as the scale mail wrapped around his form as he appeared in front of Kokabiel, boost after boost piling on as he pulled his fist back before sending it flying forward.
Kokabiel had a manic grin on his face as he dodged the attack, the shock wave from Issei's punch crashing into his body and disorienting his balance yet he didn't care as he jumped and spun, a roundhouse smashing into Issei' helmet.
The helmet cracked before Issei was sent flying to the side, Rias capitalizing on that opening as she quickly sent a stream of snakes made out of destruction energy slithering across the ground at Kokabiel, who created dual light swords and swiftly slashed through each one.
Not one to let a blow take him down, Issei quickly deactivated his Balance Breaker before reactivating it once more, Kokabiel cackling gleefully as a crimson streak ripped through the air towards him.
That distraction cost him as he grunted when lightning tore through the air and struck his form, giving Issei just enough time to smash a knee into Kokabiel's face and sent him barrelling backwards head over heels.
Quickly flipping to his feet, he didn't get a chance to breathe as Rias followed up that attack with a bombardment of destructive energy, a pillar of dark crimson energy stretching to the skies before Akeno grinned sadistically as she waved her hand.
Numerous magic crests appeared above the pillar before she brought her hand down and a gargantuan bolt of lightning struck Kokabiel.
*BBBBOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM*
Night turned to day and thunder boomed loudly inside the barrier as the ground where Kokabiel stood was turned into molten laval, Issei and Akeno slowly landing on the ground next to Rias as they waited for the smoke to clear.
"Do you think that's enough?" Rias asked Issei, who shook his head.
"No, if anything, I'd say that was probably enough to piss him off."
"Ah, I must ask if you are a mind-reader, wielder of the Boosted Gear." Kokabiel's voice echoed throughout the courtyard as the dust cloud abruptly disappeared, revealing his injured form.
He was bleeding from his forehead, with his coat and dress jacket destroyed, leaving him in just a long-sleeved white dress shirt, his black pants and shoes. A few feathers on his wings were singed, but he didn't care as he glared at them with a sinister grin.
"Now…allow me to return the favour."
A/N: And there we go! The battle of Kiba, Xenovia and Koneko vs Valper and Freed done! Next up, the second half of Issei, Akeno and Rias vs Kokabiel and Theo and Yasaka vs Hyperion.
Also, I've been seeing a few comments of how I've nerfed Theo or another said that he is useless when fighting against the Titans.
Yeah, firstly, Theo's not always going to go all-out when fighting a literal TITAN that has fought against Gods, is probably 3000 to 4000 times older than him and is perfectly aware of their power.
He's a Demi-God, which means he's always going to have that cautiousness of his human side that makes him study everything about his opponent so that he can finish them as fast as they can.
Secondly, going all-out means wasting precious stamina that he could have used to figure out his opponent's moves further and make sure that they don't take him out when he's out of stamina.
Finally…yeah, I kind of nerfed him a bit to make sure that he's not as overpowered as my first OC in Frost of Time, because otherwise it wouldn't be an entertaining story.
But yeah, that's about everything so as always, read, enjoy, review and until the next one…
Ba-Bye~!
