Hundred: I doubt that. Indra is super OP, so even when Thor reachs the Top Ten he won't at Indra's level.
Century: Ah Mortis Sabbac, the Devil who appeared in one chapter who has become quite a topic. If Mortis ever confronts Thor again he can't turn him into a Devil, if you know your DxD lore, then Gods can't become Devils, only demi-gods, like Rossweisse, can, pure Gods like Odin, cannot.
Velox: Of course they will.
Vulcan: True, Vali never held a grudge against Issei but after that battle, he may use it as a means to get stronger.
Tachion: Will it? We've never seen Rose with braided hair before but it would be a cute look on her if she does.
Destroyed: All in good time, Divine Thunder shall be explained more.
Valtazar: With many more in the future too.
Terrax: Today you, like Kiba, shall get the answers about Ulric.
Livewire: Good questions! YOu'll have to wait and see!
Optimus470: I'm glad you liked the chapter, many more fun awaits in this one.
Dark Kaiser: Creuserey was a let down in the novels and I intend to expand on him further. If you recall I did say the Asmodeus family has close ties to necromancy...perhaps he may have something vile planned.
Maltazar: Hahaha! No that won't work, they aren't in Middle Earth XD
Barricade: Well Harry Potter is popular and if you've had Butterbeer you will know it's good stuff!
Lorenzo Macchiavelli: Omg that's funny! Like Star Wars? I wasn't intending it to be like that XD If I did i'd have made Ulric cut off Kiba's hand LMAO XD Thank you for the positive feed back.
Ahoy everyone, so bad news this is a short chapter because I couldn't find a way to make what else I wrote fit so the next chapter will have the other plots planned. Now on with the show...
Kiba stood there aghast at what this tall warrior had just called himself, in all his years since becoming Rias Knight Yuuto Kiba never imagined knowing who his parents were, such a thought never came to mind even when he sought revenge against the Holy Swords. Albeit it was only one time, Kiba thought his parents were nobodies who abandoned him like Asia's parents or died in service to the Church which explained why he was an orphan to the followers of God. To hear this man, this Einherjar, says he's his father made Kiba unable to find the right words.
"Mr. Jorgensen, it's a pleasure to meet you." Said Rias extending a hand to shake, the Einherjar responded by taking her hand into his and kissing it lightly with a smile, the same charming smile Kiba always showed at school.
"And you as well, Ms. Gremory. Please allow me to thank you for giving my boy a second chance. I never thought I'd get to see him again but thanks to Henrietta. I can."
Despite never being greeted like this the Gremory heiress did not blush or feel bashful for she was royalty and being kissed on her hand was a greeting her mother taught her to expect. Rias returned the smile with her own and said, "I can see where Kiba got his charm from"
"President…"
"Come Rias," Said Henrietta taking Rias by the shoulder to lead her away, "Let's give father and son time to bond."
Soon Kiba found himself alone with the Einherjar, alone to get to know his father.
"So…"
"I know you have many questions for me. Ask and I will answer."
"My name…Isaiah. You're Norwegian but that's a Hebrew name…"
"It was Delilah's wish to name you that."
That had gotten a reaction out of Kiba, so his mother was a follower of Christianity named Delilah, had she been an Exorcist? His father was an Einherjar so his mother must have been too.
Despite the crack in his tone he had to ask Ulric, "My mother…"
"She was a wonderful person, Isaiah. I wish you could have known her. Unfortunately, Delilah died two years after your birth. She was a devoted follower of God but not a warrior. No. She was a simple human just like me. You, however, are special albeit neither of us would know that."
"What do you mean? Did either of you have a Sacred Gear?"
Ulric shook his head, "Sacred Gears aren't passed down by family you know that. Delilah and I had no Gear, nor Holy Sword."
Kiba nodded, so he had regular parents like Issei who knew nothing of the Supernatural World but…
"How are you in Valhalla? I've been told you must die in battle to join Valhalla."
Ulric's face turned dark, "I did die. I died protecting you against kidnappers. When I awoke in Asgard I feared something happened to you."
Blue eyes widened with horror, he was kidnapped from his home? It must have happened when he was a baby when he was so young he couldn't remember it. The Church must have saved him which explained how he ended up as a test subject for the Holy Sword project. Unless it WAS the Church who kidnapped him under Valper's orders. He was suddenly interrupted when Ulric hugged him tightly, tears welling in the older man's eyes.
"But my fears were put to rest when Lord Thor and Henrietta told me they met a boy who looked just like me. Imagine my joy when I found out you were alive, Isaiah. I wanted to see you so badly but knew my duty was to Asgard as an Einherjar now. I thought I'd never get to see you but thanks to the Allfather's son and Valhalla's champion my wish was granted."
Again Kiba didn't know how to react to Ulric's words; he was happy for the Einherjar but what about himself? He should be happy to know this man is his father and yet he felt nothing. Was it because he devoted his life to being a weapon for Rias? Then his master's words floated to the forefront of his mind.
Yuuto Kiba, I don't want you to see yourself as a weapon for me! You are my Knight, yes but you aren't a weapon to be commanded to slay my enemies. You are a man, a brave and loyal one! You have friends and a family who love you dearly. They want to get to know the man who you have become, not the weapon who follows orders. If you won't do it for me then for your fallen comrades you have avenged."
Kiba smiled, she always knew the right words to say since charisma is her greatest skill. He would take his master's words to heart and see himself as a man, a man who would get to know this Einherjar, to get to know his father. The blonde Knight learned much about his parents such as how his mother, Delilah, was kind and loyal while Ulric was brave and handsome, traits Kiba inherited from both of them. What he hadn't gotten from Ulric was his love for games, the latter being a side effect of becoming an Einherjar. Kiba for his part shared everything that happened to him from being an experiment of the Holy Swords to serving Rias.
"And now you have recently awakened your Balance Breaker that mixes demon and holy powers. I'm so proud of you and so would Delilah if she was here." Kiba was used to praise by Rias and his friends but hearing his father say it filled him with pride.
"When will you leave for Midgard?"
Kiba shrugged, he didn't know if it would be tonight, tomorrow, or next week. Summer vacation was still going and Rias did say something was being planned soon. Until then he would spend all time in Asgard with his father.
Meanwhile
"So this is the Godly City of the North the old man talked about? It's interesting." Said Bikou as he looked around the street he walked down with Thor beside him. After being given a tour of the palace and shown his room, which Bikou was looking forward to sleeping in, Thor decided to show the Monkey King the rest of the kingdom. Now they were in the Northern Downtown District were the Drunken Draugr stood, a place he was sure Sigrun would take Bikou once he gained her trust, "I assumed Asgard was just a palace with Valhalla next to it."
"It was but after taking inspiration from humanity it became a city." Replied Thor, the young God's choice of clothing being the same violet shirt and tan pants he wore when awakening in Asgard when first meeting Rossweisse.
Rossweisse…that woman truly was worthy of being Odin's bodyguard, it was unfortunate she was treated so poorly by that pervert he calls a father. At least his mother showed more respect and not just because she was one of her Valkyries but a master of magic and the granddaughter to a former Valkyrie with powers stronger than Rossweisse. Whoever this grandmother was, she clearly didn't live in Asgard since he never saw her, actually he didn't even know what she looked like or know her name.
Will I even meet Rossweisse's family at all?
"So what do I call you? Prince? Your highness? God of Thunder?"
"Just Thor." The red head answered, a tiny smile spreading across his lips.
One brown eyebrow lifted, "Really? And here I thought you'd demand I address you with titles."
"When I am king I will. I'm just a prince right now. You, however, are a king."
Shiny white teeth flashed as a grin formed upon Bikou's face, "And I thought Gods saw themselves above mortal beings."
"That is what Devils do. You heard the nonsense about ruling the Underworld. And yes even Vali see's himself above us. He insulted my mother."
"Hey like I said back in prison I'm on your side with no hitting a woman. Unless said woman wants to fight me." The Monkey King retorted, "While I do respect Vali he does tend to see himself above everyone."
"Because he is a Devil and Dragon. The two most prideful beings to exist in the Supernatural World. I just hope he learned his lesson."
"Vali being taught a lesson? Ha! He'll learn but not how you want. He'll just think he needs to get stronger."
"Which in turn comes from his pride. That is a traitor all Devils have and I detest it."
Bikou looked at him, "You detest pride?"
"Yes. Look at Rias Gremory, she is the nicest Devil I know but beneath that is a girl raised to be the next leader of her clan and so that has filled her with pride. Vandill has told me she always announces to her foes she'll exterminate them in the name of her home. If that isn't pride getting to your head I don't know what is."
"Vali never talked about his heritage being Lucifer's descendant. All he said was he needed information from the Khaos Brigade about someone but who it was he didn't tell us."
Thor cocked a brow, "I thought you weren't going to talk about Vali?"
"And that's all I'm sharing because that's all I know aside from his desire to fight strong opponents. That's why I joined him. To fight strong foes. I love fighting."
"And you couldn't do that among Grigori? You see the foes we face; the old Satan's, the Lich Queen, even Gods and Goddesses."
"It doesn't matter who's side I'm on so long as I get to have a good fight. We sure had a good fight."
The memory of his fight with the Monkey King flashed through Thor's mind. He wouldn't deny it was enjoyable and, had he not wanted to rip Vali apart, even facing Vali. However, those fights were soured due to the fact that both men were on the enemy's side.
"Although you did have help." Bikou continued, "Yup had that hot Valkyrie not seal me I'd have won."
Thor snorted, he'd let it slide that Bikou called Rossweisse hot because she was but the Monkey King assuming he'd have won was impossible to say, Thor had managed to score some hits on him and, had he used all his power instead of saving it for Vali, would have won. Yeah, he would have won, he's Odin's son, the God of Thunder. Thunder…he remembered that power he unlocked from Akeno and Issei boosting his power to defeat Vali, the power, as his mother called it, Divine Thunder. Freya said he would be able to use it again once he grows stronger, which means he would need to train a lot harder. And he knew who exactly could help him grow stronger…
"So what else does Asgard have?" Asked Bikou.
"I will show you."
They walked all about Asgard, Thor explaining in great detail about the city, its people, and the many many stores built by the Dwarfs. When asked questions Thor didn't know he shrugged with an apologetic look which Bikou had no trouble with. It truly baffled the young God that this man was in league with a punk like Vali because they both like to fight strong foes but had different personalities; Vali was cold and serious while Bikou was energetic, kind, and even respectful. Could Bikou possibly be talked into returning to the good side but was there even a good side to the Monkey King's point of view? He certainly didn't like hitting women except only in a fight so he at least had some dignity, unlike Vali.
Speaking of women, Thor noticed couldn't help staring at Bikou, some even waving and giggling when he sent a sly wink their way. The redhead shook his head with amusement, yup he definitely was the opposite of Vali. Perhaps he could be convinced to help the allies…
Meanwhile
Far from the king and prince the Red Dragon Emperor and Bishop walked the southern downtown district with Sigrun, the Emerald Valkyrie took it upon herself to give the Pawn a tour since
"Kiba is a Viking!? I knew he looked too pretty and blonde to be Japanese."
"Norwegian, honey, Norwegian. You really need to learn about the human world as well as the Supernatural World. Hasn't Rias taught you anything about Devil society?"
"Sorta."
One violet eyebrow rose, "Sorta? Issei, you are the current Red Dragon Emperor and your own master hasn't taken the time to properly teach you about the Supernatural World? You're lucky I'm a friend of yours because before you go home I'm gonna make sure you have a whole crate of books for you, and your fellow Devils to learn about Scandinavian and the Norse Pantheon."
"Uhm…thanks?"
Sigrun shook her head, braids swishing side to side, "Issei, I get you are a pervert and not very smart-"
"Oh come on."
"-but you need to learn about not just us but our own Devil society and other mythologies for when you eventually face them and possibly even Gods. You are the Red Dragon Emperor meaning Vali won't be the only one gunning for you. Don't forget Eris and Ares. Both powerful Gods one intending to fight Thor someday."
Issei couldn't suppress the shiver that crawled up his spine, the Greek God of War had struck terror into everyone in their first encounter and beat Thor without even trying. If Issei had to choose between Vali and Ares, he'd stick with the White Dragon Emperor, the Son of Zeus was a rival he didn't want. His fist clenched remembering how badly he struggled against his rival, had Thor not interrupted the fight he possibly would have died but Ddraig said Vali was purposefully holding back until Thor attacked. Was he really the weakest Red Dragon Emperor? He carried a Sacred Gear that can kill Gods but against Riser and Vali he needed help and Kokabiel wasn't affected by his punch.
Listen to be partner, you are called the weakest because you haven't had real training like my rival or the Thunder God. Your master didn't properly train you when you had that battle against the Phenex punk. The Fallen Angel leader will help you become stronger. Perhaps even that Giant or this Valkyrie can lend a hand as well. Boomed the voice of Ddraig inside Issei's mind.
He glanced at Sigrun, she already was willing to help him improve his knowledge perhaps she could do the same with fighting. Maybe she'll let him use a Dress Break on her and he'll get to see her bare breasts! The tight-fitting shirt showed they were the same size as Xenovia and Irina. Somewhere in the depths of mind sighed the Red Dragon Emperor with disgust.
"Uhm Sigrun?" He started making sure to pronounce her name correctly, "Will you help train me?"
One violet eyebrow rose curiously before a mischievous grin spread across her face, "When you mean by training you want to get stronger to face foes or strip girls of their armor?"
Caught by surprise at her reply and unable to form words of his own, Issei babbled and blushed.
Downtown Western District
Akeno Himejima enjoyed many things, sadism and masochism, the food and tea she made, and shopping with her best friend. Today in Asgard she was enjoying the best pedicure in her entire life. Sure the ones in Kuoh and the Underworld were nice but this one was unlike any she had experienced before. The woman attending her was tall with hair as blonde as Kiba's, what stood out the most was the pointy ears she had. Of course, the ears would be the most noticeable thing on this beauty of a woman was an Elf, one of the few Elves living in Asgard working at Elven Light's Spa and Nail Salon.
This spa and nail salon had its first building outside of Alfheim made in Vanaheim then in Asgard last year for Asgardians to experience Alfheim without going to the land of the Light Elves and boy was it racking in the dough. Every day an Asgardian, Einherjar, or Valkyrie would come through the doors either alone or as a group to make an appointment to relax in the spas or get their nails done. None of them were prepared for the young Devils who Lord Thor helped, accompanied by Henrietta Berg, to come but were nevertheless glad to have more customers.
"I can see why this place is so popular." Sighed Rias in delight as her feet soaked in the warm water. After Henrietta steered her away from her Knight the buxom Einherjar suggested she take her and the other girls to get a pedicure here. Her first pedicure with her mother left them in blissful pleasure.
"The water of Alfheim isn't just relaxing but soothing for the soul." The Elf attending her said, gracefully cutting and filing the Devil heiress's left-hand nails.
"It feels like I'm drifting off to sleep," Asia said next to Rias, to which the Elves laughed merrily. Rias didn't laugh but smiled at her Bishop's words, she couldn't blame the former nun for doing so since this was her first pedicure and many people at other salons tended to fall asleep at how relaxing it was.
"You are not the only one to do so," Henrietta said, blue eyes shifting across the room to the only male in the building. Two seats down, sitting next to Koneko, Gasper Valdi was slumped in his chair, eyes closed, and sighing in delight at the Elf's gentle touch in his tiny hands. The Dhampir was somewhat nervous but once the pedicure began he relaxed and now was drifting off into sweet dreams.
"Oh my. Looks like Gasper is out cold." Akeno giggled before turning the topic to Kiba, "So Kiba's father has been in Valhalla all this time? I assumed he wasn't Japanese from his looks but never expected him to be of Northern Europe."
"We all assumed so, Akeno. Look at all of us. You, Koneko, and Ise are all Japanese while Asia, Gasper, Vandill, and even Kiba are European."
"I'm surprised you didn't change Vandill's name to a Japanese one since you're a Japanophilia." Despite having a death glare sent her way, the priestess laughed at her own comment about her master's obsession with Japanese culture.
"Japanophilia? Reminds me of this one student I had from America who was a huge Norvegophile. He loved everything Norwegian related from the culture to cuisine, history, people, and quotations. He even dyed his hair blonde. Haha. I hope he's doing well." Henrietta said, reminiscing about her human life, "Embrace what you love, and don't let others judge or tease you for it, even if the teasing comes from your closest friends you laugh with them."
Wiser words couldn't be said by the Einherjar but Akeno knew Rias too well; she was always teasing Issei with her body and would laugh at a joke but not when it was directed towards her. Like every Devil, the Gremory heiress was prideful just had all Fallen Angels embodied lust but
"What do you think of the Aesir's kingdom?" The Elf attending Koneko asked.
"It's cool.
"Anything in particular you like?"
"The sweets."
"If you like sweets, I recommend Snorri's Sweets. The best candy shop in Asgard, provided by the Vanirians." The Elf's words piqued the white-haired Rook's interest, later she would visit this candy shop with Gasper and maybe Vandill.
"My brother never told me what Asgard was like but now I see how amazing it is. I can't wait to see what else there is to visit." Rias said eagerly.
Asgard's wall
"I've seen a lot of views and I gotta admit this one hell of a view."
It was indeed, Thor chose to take the Monkey atop the kingdom's wall which he himself never visited until now. The view truly was beautiful to gaze upon; miles upon miles of a grassy landscape, a landscape called Vigrid, where Ragnarok was destined to happen. Everything out there had once been connected to the Bifrost until Surtr attacked. Despite it now being untamed land it added to the kingdom's beauty. By the time they reached the wall, the sun had begun setting allowing the king and prince to watch it sink over the horizon.
"I think I said it already but Asgard is quite a cool place to call home."
"I think you did it twice already." Chuckled Thor, "I didn't get to show you Valhalla yet but that can wait tomorrow after school."
One brown eyebrow lifted, "School? The God of Thunder goes to school?'"
"Even Gods must learn especially if they are to rule someday. I can't just have strength alone to rule Asgard but wisdom, knowledge, and leadership. How did you gain the title Monkey King despite joining the Chaos Brigade?"
Bikou chuckled, "Sun Wukong gave me the title once I completed my training."
Thor felt the urge to facepalm at this guy for ditching his job just so he could fight stronger foes, "Since all you wish to do is fight you could have just denied the title of Monkey King."
"And how will that get people to fight me? Nah. Telling my opponents who I make them more eager to fight me. To desire to fight and beat the Monkey King always makes the battle more exciting for me. You, on the other hand, had no desire to fight me but it was still good."
Yes..it was a good battle… Thor mussed, "Nevertheless, even if you only desire to fight strong opponents you could do so on the good side."
"Good side?"
"Bikou, your a Youkai. A Monkey Youkai no less. My mother, Lady Freya, told me what the Old Satan Faction did to your people."
"Oh, that whole shtick about the Old Satan's being the ones responsible for the destruction of my kin in the past? Yeah but that was a long time ago and we have repopulated. I'm a follower, not a leader, Vali is a natural-born leader albeit some decisions aren't wise he still shows leadership qualities that I respect him for. I wonder if you will outshine him in leadership as well as power."
If Bikou was completing him Thor would take it. As the last of the sun's light faded he vowed to show Bikou he would be a better leader than Vali, first step would be to get him to gain his trust and respect then try coming up with good decisions to make in the heat of battle or meetings. He wondered if other mythologies will reach out for peace now that the Christian Faction did it and if so which one? Egypt maybe or perhaps Ireland since they were closer to Scandinavia, China was a possibility but that would depend if Bikou can gain Asgard's trust. Japan as well could be one since many of the recent conflicts have happened upon their land, so many to choose but which one will be next Thor couldn't decide, perhaps Odin would know.
With the sun now set the God of Thunder decided it was time to go home and would have said so if Bikou, with a mischievous grin, didn't say, "Wanna race back to the place? Loser buys food."
Thor cocked a brow at the offer before giving his answer…by leaping off the wall and summoning his axe to throw it as far as his muscles would let him. Thanks to a bit of help from Odin's magic they managed to undo the half-dimension effect on the weapon returning Jarnbjorn to its original size. Thor winked out of existence in a flash of light leaving the Monkey King alone on the wall stupified by the God of Thunder's action.
This is gonna be fun! Bikou lept as well summoning his cloud to let him zoom across the city as fast it would allow him. Off in the distance, he could see lightning flashes light up the darkening sky, flashes made by the God of Thunder's teleporting technique with his axe. Not wanting to lose, Bikou willed his magic cloud to go faster and faster as it went, making Bikou get closer and closer to the God. The palace was in sight as the steps drew closer and closer with Bikou being an inch ahead of the prince until Jarnbjorn went soaring through the air and landed at the door entrance of the palace. Bikou's curse was drowned out by the clap of thunder right next to his ear as Thor vanished reappearing at the palace with a wide grin.
"Bravo! That was quite a race you boys had. I knew you'd win, Lord Thor."
"Henrietta!" Thor cried, he hadn't seen the Valkyrie since the food fight at Valhalla and wondered where she had gone all day. Turning his eyes to the steps he was surprised to see Henrietta leading Rias, Akeno, Asia, Gasper, and Koneko, "What are you all doing here?"
"Congratulating you on your victory in the race and showing our guests to their sleeping chamber before taking them to dinner."
"Dinner you say?" Thor's grin widened as Bikou paled, "What was that about the loser paying for dinner?"
Yes it is confirmed Sigrun's boobs are around Xenovia and Irina's size LOL i could have made them Rossweisse's size but lets be honest, boob size doesn't matter...unless your Issei, XD and those two Exocists, as well as Rossweisse, have perfect size, not super size like Rias, Akeno, and Kuroka, nor tiny and fall like Asia and Koneko. Anyway I hope you all enjoyed part 1 if there visit to Asgard, the rest of the fun continues in the next chapter. See ya next time!
