Deity's Annihilation
First off, I'm sorry for the lack of updates, things have been going on at home, and school with exams are a hassle, but my half term is coming up so I'll have some time to write then. Now, reviews.
Indominus: Thank you very much buddy, here you go!
Zestarios: You're not wrong, and here's the next!
Now the big one!
Praise Helix: I have read your comment and I have realised how lazy I have been in this, only writing for about 2 hours and barely proof reading. So, I'm spending more time on these, and I have a request. Would you like to be my beta-reader? You have a keen eye and are intelligent, so I make this offer to you. If not, don't worry, but I would be happy for you to do this.
Okay, past that, I hope these are longer and to a better standard. Here you go!

Chapter 8
-Flashback-
A tall man made his way through a hall. It was very lavishly decorated, filled with gold and diamond statues. He walked briskly though hall till he stopped in front of a door.
This man was Revous Ikrand, the Ultimate class devil of the House of Ikrand. He was tall, at about 6"2, had yellow eyes and short, nightmare black hair. He knocked on the door and waited for a moment, before it opened and two guards approached him.
"Identification." The taller of the two asked.
"Revous Ikrand, House of Ikrand." The devil announced, with a small hint of pride, but not arrogance.
The smaller one nodded to the taller and they moved aside to let him through. Once he had entered, he noticed the room had changed from the last time he had been in the Maou's Throne Room.
Inside the room, it was even more expensively decorated than in the hall, with statues of the current and past Maou's lining the walls, with detailed paintings, with famous painters. In the centre of the room, stood 5 thrones.
Two of the thrones were currently filled, with one being a young man, and the other being a woman who looked about mid 30's.
Revous approached the thrones and knelt to the two figures of immense strength.
"Don't bow to us Revous, we have been friends all our lives now, don't start to act formally now." The male Maou present joked lightly. He was in his early 20's, had shoulder length red hair, and had blue eyes. This was Sirzechs Lucifer, formally Sirzechs Gremory before he became the Devil King.
"Yes Sirzechs," The kneeling man said as he got up, "It's been a while since we have been together."
"Too long." The woman on the other throne said, with a soothing, kind voice. She had waist length brown hair and soft brown eyes. She was about 5"11 and had a calm aura to her.
This was Nao Satan. Previously known as Nao Ikrand, Revous' sister.
"Hey sis." The yellow eyed devil greeted his sister with a smile on his face. He didn't look like a happy person, but when he smiles, it warms your centre. It fits so well on his face and brightens the whole room. He looked like he was radiating light.
"Well, to business." Sirzechs' smile faded as he went to business.
Revous turned his gaze to the Lucifer and started. "It's about Madena. She's pregnant with our child, and I wish to live in peace with her."
Almost all high up devils respected the Ikrand male, as he was extremely strong and selfless. With his elemental abilities, he was one of the top set Ultimate class Devils, coming close to Sirzechs' power.
He was also a very kind and pure soul, despite being a Devil. Everyone knew of his love for his friends and family, especially his human girlfriend, Madena Hyoudou, and no one looked down on him for loving a human.
Most respected him and his choices, and knew the human was kind. Even if they didn't respect his choices, they wouldn't dare speak up, as they would face the wrath of a being who can put up a good fight with a Maou.
Sirzechs and Nao alike looked both happy and troubled with this statement. They both loved and respected the two, and wanted the best for them. But on the same hand, he was one of their strongest warriors and smartest advisors, as he was asked his opinion on many political problems.
"Well, we are both happy for you," Sirzechs said with a small smile, "But, we would like you to reconsider this action."
"Yea, you are one of our best, and you could just make Madena into one of your peerage." Nao pointed out, trying to sway her sibling.
Revous understood where they were coming from, but still stood strong. "I know, but I wish to spend some time with Madena, and I have planned to marry her, and I fear that If she was part of my peerage, she would be targeted by our enemies."
Sirzechs and Nao shared some silent conversation, and nodded in agreement.
"*Sigh*… As Maou, I would command you to stay…" Revous was about to argue with him, but he continued, "But, as your friend, I say, go be happy with Madena, you two need it." He finished with a smile that Nao held as well, happy for her brother.
Revous was relived. "Thank you. I will return often, and when our child grows up, they will be a strong soul."
"Good luck brother." Nao wished him.
He kneeled once more, then started to walk away.
When he reached the door, he looked over his shoulder at the two.
"If war comes, call!" He exited the room with the two Maou's laughing slightly at his remark.
-Line Break-
Issei and Rias made their way to school, with Hannai staying at home to recover. They walked hand in hand, with their relationship growing each day. They walked through the gates of Kuoh Academy and made their way up the main path.
Rias leaned her head on Issei's shoulder, as he snuggled into her touch. They walked slowly to the main door, relishing every moment of contact, before parting and faced each other.
"I'll see you after school Rias." No-one was around so Issei called her by her name, and it was safe to say she loved it.
Her core warmed up and her face blushed as she stared dreamily into his eyes. He slightly leaned forward and slowly, but passionately kissed her lips. She kissed back just as passionately and moaned into his.
They parted, panting and blushing and wanting more. They touched foreheads and gazed into each other's eyes. Rias leaned back, reluctantly and kissed him lightly on his lips for a moment before saying goodbye and parting from him.
He looked around and saw they had drawn a crowd, with people having their phones out, taking pictures and videoing the whole thing. He blushed more and made his way to class.
-Line Break-
Hannai woke up in the early afternoon, feeling hungry. She sat up and her mind finally her mind registered where she was. She felt around her and her eyes adjusted to the room. She was on a sofa in a living room. Then her memories came flooding in.
Her heart flipped at her actions, then dread set in. Kokabiel would look for her. Kokabiel might even send HIM.
She got dressed in her school uniform using magic, but at that moment, her stomach rumbled furiously. She made her way to the kitchen and say a meal was set out for her with a note.
Hannai,
This food is for you as you will probably be hungry when you wake. Don't worry about yesterday. It wasn't your fault and take some time to rest. Just stay in the house till I get back so you are safe.
Issei
Hannai was relieved at his forgiveness and the food alike. She dug into her cold western dish, and even then, it was amazing. She sat down and watched TV while she finished her food off. Then came a knock at the door.
-Line Break-
When Issei's class finished, he made his way to the ORC, and entered, seeing everyone present.
"S-Sorry I'm late, I had to help the teacher clean up." Issei said shyly, feeling bad for holding everyone up.
Rias just chuckled slightly. "Don't worry Ise, we weren't waiting for long."
He smiled shyly and gave her a small smile and sat down beside Koneko, who offered him some food, to the surprise of everyone.
'She never willingly shares.' Akeno notes.
"Thanks, Koneko-san." Issei kindly took the slice of cake offered to him from the loli.
"Okay, down to business, Ise, let's get you started on some Devil requests soon, now that you have settled." Rias started.
"Okay Bouchou, I'll do my best." Issei stated confidently.
"As expected my Ise. Don't worry though, by doing these requests, you can make your way up the Devil rankings soon."
"Ara, if you ever need help on these, just let me know my Kouhai." Akeno teased him sexily. Issei just scratched his head and blushed at that, as Rias sent her a glare.
After that was over, the group just chatted mostly, and Issei got to know the group more.
At the end of the session, everyone had left, bar Issei and Rias.
"Bouchou- I mean Rias." Issei started, avoiding her gaze. She looked at him, amazed how in certain times he could be confident, but at others he was extremely shy.
"Yes, my Ise?"
"…W-Would it be okay if you could stay at mine tonight, in case I get the nightmare. O-Only you can stop it." He finished, looking up at her. She blushed slightly, but smiled greatly, lighting up the room.
"Of course, Ise, I would love to." Issei smiled happily at this and helped Rias to pack her things away.
-Line Break-
The whole way home, they held hands and stayed close to each other, not wanting to be apart. Once they reached Issei's house, they gasped.
The front door had been smashed through, tear marks visible in the wood. They exchanged glances for a moment before approaching the house. They entered, with Rias coated in her aura and Issei's eyes shifting elements. They were ready for a fight.
When they entered the house, Svarkova spoke up.
[Let me help.] She spoke calmly to the two. Issei's eyes changed to have a white iris and the room lit up, shining the way for the two to see.
"Thanks Scarlett." Issei heard a hum as a response, as she was happy to help the boy.
The whole room was torn up and the walls scorched. It looked like someone slashed a weapon of sorts through the wall, and ripped the furniture.
Then it clicked in Issei.
"Oh no." Rias looked at him as he looked at the ground, eyes widening in realisation.
His head shot up. "Hannai!" He shouted in the house. "HANNAI!"
When no sound was heard, he scoured the room with his enhanced vision and something caught his eye. He ran over to the kitchen and pinned to the wall by a black feather was a note. It read:
If you want to see Hannai again, come to the abandoned church, and come alone, or we will kill her.
When Issei read it, his head dropped and his hair covered his eyes.
A thick, yellow aura covered him, fluctuating in the air. Rias' eyes widened at what she saw and sped towards him, but the aura was too strong and she was stopped before she could reach him.
"ISE!" Rias screamed out. This brought him back to his senses. The aura almost instantly stopped and he dropped to him knees.
"I… I failed her Rias…" He muttered. Rias just knelt beside him, held him and whispered something in his ear. He looked up at her in shock.
She just nodded and his eyes gained a flare. He would save her like he promised.
-Line Break-
In the church on the hill, it was run down and corroded buy the elements. The windows dusty and the cross was destroyed. Down a hidden set of steps, a ritual of sorts was happening.
There were about 25-30 people with cloaks and hoods covering their faces. Exorcists.
On a podium was a cross with chains. There was a person chained up. Hannai.
Beside the cross was another woman, this one with long, black hair and wearing a skimpy outfit. Raynare just laughed at the pitiful scene before her.
"Shouldn't have disobeyed Kokabiel, stupid bitch!" Raynare spat. Hannai just about raised her head to look at the fallen before her. She was too tired to put up a fight after the struggle in Issei's house. Raynare had won.
"Want to know what this ritual will do?" Raynare rhetorically asked the Bluenette. "It will forcefully remove your sacred gear, killing you in the process."
Hannai was in shock, she was never involved at this side of the Fallen Angel side.
"It will begin soon, and don't worry, it will be VERY painful!" Raynare laughed evilly, and the cross was covered in light, draining Hannai of even more of her strength.
'…P-Please…a-anyone…help'
As if by magic (Ironic, I Know) The exorcists started to notice something was wrong and the door was blown open, showing Issei with his face hidden by his hair. (I Swear, Does Every Anime Do This?)
The whole room was silent and in shock. Hannai's vision was failing her, but she could make out a figure in the crowd.
'…W-Who…Is t-that?' She just thought before she passed out.
The room was still silent and they all watched Issei. On Issei's end, his rage was growing exponentially.
"…You took her…You took Hannai…" An exorcist walked forward and went to stab him with a light sword.
"You took her, and I will get her back." He finished ominously, before the exorcist swung at him. Then all hell broke loose.
Issei's shifting aura exploded out, killing the first set of people in one go, before he looked up, seeing the pure, raw hatred visible in his eyes.
"Balance Breaker, Elemental Armour!" [Balance Breaker, Elemental Armour!]
{Mode Change, Cataclysmic Thunder!}
The boy's aura increased and turned full yellow, and swirled around his body. The lightning meshed around him and formed a yellow suit of power around him. The armour is made for speed, as it is lightning.
Issei just stood still in his suit, with two daggers of pure electricity in his hands. Then, with the sound of a whip cracking, he disappeared and appeared in front of the exorcists.
He flicked his wrist upwards in the first, with his dagger tearing his body from his chest to his head apart. The second his knife was free he shot to the next and imbedded his other in his throat, and threw his first knife at a group of people, with the energy arcing throughout their group, stopping all their hearts.
The knife flew back to him using his powers and he shot forward with his fist extended at a lone cloaked figure, successfully caving his skull in with brute force.
His knifes then melted together to make a double edged western sword. He took the sword and used his thunder to spin him around, with the blade extended, ripping apart 6 unsuspecting exorcists.
He then took his sword, and slammed it into the ground, sending shockwaves around the room, arcing energy throughout the remaining few. In a matter of 20 seconds, this kid just wiped out 28 exorcists.
Raynare was floating in the air, watching the massacre with a horrified look. Issei had finished and was panting lightly, before his sword disappeared, and sped at incredible speeds to the fallen, nearly reaching Mach, even in such a small space.
Raynare was punched so had, and at such speeds that she felt he organs just vaporize in her. She was flung into the wall and almost all her bones broke. She coughed up and extreme amount of blood, and laughed slightly.
This pissed off Issei. He sped right in front of her, looking at her pitiful body.
"Hehe… Y-You can't save her now." Raynare laughed weakly, and coughed up colossal amounts of blood. He floated back and pointed his hand her. Her looked hatefully at her one last time, before he sent a shower of lightning at her, having enough power to kill and army, but he didn't care, he only wanted the bitch dead.
He looked at where she was and his mind clicked. He flew at great speeds to the cross and gasped at the sight.
Hannai was tied to it using chains and was barely clothed. Issei tore at the chains and the light stopped. Hannai fell into his arms and a green light was emitted from her heart. Two silver rings floated from her. He recognised them as her sacred gear. He put two and two together and worked out what the ritual was for.
Issei took the rings and put them on her fingers.
"Come on Hannai. You're strong, stay with me!" She was fading out of consciousness, but managed to get some words out.
"I-I-Issei, thanks… F-For accepting me… and being m-my f-f-friend." She smiled once more, before her eyes emptied, the light fading.
"H-Hannai? Hannai? Come on Hannai, don't do this." He was almost in tears. "Come on Hanni. HANNNNAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"
He screamed out and the world shook with the elements running rampant, thunder storms kicking off in countries, wind tearing up trees, waves rocking the world, blizzards tearing up mountains, gravity being distorted in some places, volcanoes threating to erupt in islands.
Rias and her peerage were watching from the start, and were amazed by his power. Rias was heartbroken to see him like this and came up to him. Once he felt her presence, his rage slowly dispersed, allowing the world to return to normal.
"I couldn't save her Rias…. I couldn't save her…" He looked up at her with tear spilling from his eyes. Rias had an idea that Issei would like and she could benefit from it.
She pulled Issei away from Hannai and her aura began to shine. Issei was entranced by what was happening. Rias took out a Bishop Evil Piece and put it on Hannai's half naked chest and said her chant. Once she had finished, the piece was absorbed and Hannai's breath began again. Her peerage left at this point.
Rias was about to turn to Issei, when she was suddenly held tightly by said boy.
"Thank you so much Rias." He sobbed into her shoulder. Rias just held him to her, happy to have him safe. She remembered what she had whispered to him before.
-Flashback-
"I… I failed her Rias…" He muttered. Rias just knelt beside him, held him and whispered something in his ear.
"Issei, you can save her. Only you, so go. Save your friend. I will be there to help if you need. I trust you. Now go"
-End Flashback-
Issei cried into her and did so for about a minute. She just held him back, showing she was there for him. After he was done, he stood and picked up Hannai, and covered her in electricity, covering her naked parts. Rias teleported them home.
Issei looked at the area, focused his magic, and everything started to fly back into place. The walls sealed, the furniture fixed, and the door replaced. Issei set Hannai down on the sofa again. He made his way up to his bed with Rias.
When they got there, Issei only took off his top, exhausted from the Balance Break. Rias got naked and crawled in beside him. He pulled her to him with a tired, yet loving look in his eyes.
"Thank you, Rias." Issei thanked his love and master. "I love you."
Rias' heart got caught in her chest at that. She pulled him closer. "I love you too Ise, never leave me."
"Never"
The two faded into sleep, holding each other.
Well, that's the end of the first arc. Again, I'm sorry for the lack of updates, but been too busy. Praise Helix, I hope you consider my proposal and get back to me whenever you can.
I will also say, all the elements have different skill sets, such as fire is for damage, lightning for speed, water for magic, etc.
Anyway, follow, favourite and all that good stuff. Also, please leave ideas in the reviews, it really helps.
See you in the next one!
