RAYNARE'S POV

'...What…. What's happening…'

"President, I've brought the garbage."

"Thank you, Koneko. Akeno, mind waking up our fallen angel friend."

'...Those voices… Who are they…'

"Certainly, President. Just a little water would do."

SPLASH!!

"[Gasp]! Koff! Koff! W-water…? The hell is going on--?" As soon as I looked up, I wished that I was still unconscious.

"Good evening, Fallen Angel Raynare. I thought it would be nice to meet the person that was behind all of this. Too bad that this conversation would be shorter than I would like it to be." The person in front of me said. She has long hair that's the same color of blood.

"D-Don't tell me..You are…." I tried to speak, but she finished my sentence as if she was reading my mind.

"That's right. I'm Rias Gremory. The next heir of the House of Gremory," she said.

"Gremory?! You've got to be joking, right?!" I exclaimed. Th-There's no way that a devil that high of a status would be here! No, I can't fall for this! Just wait, my comrades will come here and--

"Fallen Angel Dohnaseek, Fallen Angel Kalawarner, and Fallen Angel Mittelt. Are those the ones that were standing outside, guarding the place so that no one, supernatural or not, could get in?"

What? She knew that they were guarding the place? "Wh-What if they were? Why does it matter to you?!" I asked her.

"Well, you see, they were rather rude to me. They even made fun of my little Ise, your 'ex.' " She then reached her fist and opened it, and coming out of it...was three seperate black feathers. "So I thought it would be funny to send them to their demise. Quite a joke, right?"

I...I can't believe this… they're dead… I started to scoop up their feathers and look at them closely. "Y-you killed them...all three of them…"

"Wait...she managed to defeat all three of them on her own?" A familiar voice said. I looked at the direction from where the voice was coming from, and it was him. That damn Issei Hyoudou. I can't believe she resurrected him when it took me all that time to kill him!

"President Rias may seem calm and collected, but if her buttons are pressed long enough she'll start to live on her name as the "Princess of Annihilation". Hardly anyone who saw that side of her lived to tell the tale," the boy next to him said.

"Why…" I started to speak… "Why would you do such a thing?! All of this is none of your business! You devils shouldn't meddle in the business of fallen angels! So why?!" She just smiles as she begins her explanation.

"Ever since your companion, Dohnaseek, attacked Issei there were more fallen angels that were planning to attack this town that is under my juri district. You may have a point about me not meddling with the affairs of fallen angels, but they were consistent about attacking my team. Mainly Ise, my newly made pawn."

"Wait, you did all of this for me?" Issei said. Rias turned her attention away from me to look at the boy.

"Oh wow. Your sacred gear…" She said.

"I know...when I was fighting her, I got all mad and stuff and it turned out all red like this," he explained.

"Well of course. It's called the "Red Dragon" for a reason. And I'm pretty sure you saw this as well, right Raynare? Most people probably call yourself lucky that you survive. You weren't beaten by an ordinary dual critical sacred gear, no need to feel bad for yourself.

The gear Issei's controls is called Boosted Gear. It allows the wielder to increase their power every ten seconds. If mastered it can even kill both God and The Devil Kings at will. One of the Legendary 13 Longinus, Red Dragon Emperor: Boosted Gear."

N….No way….A power...enough to kill both God and all of the Devil Kings...and this power is inside that little brat!

"But like most things, this one has a downfall. Due to its immense power, it takes a while to build up," Rias said. "The only reason you lost is due to your ignorance." She then takes a step closer towards me. A crimson aura starts to envelope around her as a dark ball appears in her hand. "Now, with all that being said, I guess it's about time I've dispose of you."

Wait, she's gonna kill me! I-I don't want to die yet!! I can't die yet!! I have [Twilight Healing]!! Lord Azazel needs this power!! I have to go behind his back to obtain this power!!! I can't lose it that quickly!!!

"Now peris--"

"WAIT!!!"

Everyone looks towards the person that said that. It was that Issei brat. He started to approach me and lift me up by my straps and made me look at his face.

"Asia's gear...I want you to give you back…" he said.

"You're still stuck up about the little nun's death?" I asked.

"Just shut up and give her sacred gear back," he said again.

"Issei, she won't comply. It'll be quicker if I just destroy her and everything would be done." Rias told him.

"President...I appreciate what you did for me today...but until I receive Asia's gear back, I ain't gonna stop till I beat it out of her." he said.

"Fehehe...I'd love to see you try. Just a little heads up, 'Ise~'--" One of his fist wrapped around with Boosted Gear punched me in my stomach before he threw me to the ground. It hurted a lot. Guess the power of the dragon must be still in effect, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying his suffering.

"...hehe...he… looks like I pushed a button there…" I chuckled before getting back up on my feet. "Now back to what I said earlier...you remember what I said back in the basement...about when a gear is removed from a person's body right? It's like ripping a person's heart…" I then received another punch to the face from him.

"How did you think she died in the first place?! You're the bitch that took it out of her body!! I'm starting to lose my patience! Either give her gear back or I'll kill you myself!!"

"Threatening me, are you? Very daring coming from a low-class devil like you. Even though I had to admit, you might have the strength enough to kill me, but it'll do you no good. If a sacred user die, the gear might go to another host. So if you did kill me, the gear might be making its way onto another soul, so all of your efforts would be a waste..." I explained to him. I could tell that he was very pissed from hearing me say that. He was about to hit me again till his arm got caught by the little girl in the white hair. She was the same one that was fighting all of those priests I had downstairs in the basement.

"Why...did you stop me, Koneko…" he asked her.

"President's orders." she flatly answered him as the redhead walked in front of them both.

"President…?" Issei said.

"Issei, she might be right about you killing her yourself, but she probably continuously that nun's sacred gear she has till you pass out." The red head then put her hand in her pocket and pulled out a chess piece. It looks like a bishop.

"President Rias… don't tell me that you're planning to make her…" the blonde boy starts to speak. The red head looked at me and smiled.

"Raynare. I can tell you that you don't want to die, right?" She asked me.

"What about it?" I replied. She just continued to smile innocently. It's starting to make me feel uneasy.

"I want to make a deal with you."

"What kind of deal are you talking about?" She tosses the piece towards the ground, near my feet.

"I'll let you live if you become my servant and live for me. Although we might have bad blood now, I see potential in you. Plus with you having a healing type of sacred gear, you would be good for support in battle," she said.

"Me? Becoming a devil? That's the most funniest joke you ever told me so far. You'll think I'll betray my kind just like that? Tell me, what sucker do you take me--"

BOOM!!!!

A black ball passed my head and hit something behind me. I slowly turned around to look behind me. The entire wall that was behind me was destroyed along with most of the trees behind it as well.

"The second part of the deal is to turn down my offer and feel the wrath of me and my peerage, mostly from this era's current Red Dragon Emperor for taking something important to him," she explained the last part to me. So she either becomes a devil under her or death. To be honest, I would rather die than be a devil, but that means all of my effort of attaining this power would be a waste. But if I became a devil, not only I'll live but I will also betray everyone, including Azazel.

I looked at the bishop piece on the ground before bending over and picking it up. "Alright. I'll become your servant…" The red head smiled at my option I made.

"Well then Raynare, welcome to the Gremory Family."
