Seth arrived at Kuoh Academy the next day, and headed to class. Waiting at the door, was Issei.

"Oh, hey Issei, what's up?" asked Seth.

"Well," said Issei, "I was given the task to invite you to the ORC."

"The what?" asked Seth.

"The Occult Research Club," said Issei, "our president seems to have taken an interest in you. She wishes to speak with you."

Seth thought about it for a bit, when Venom said, 'We should go. It might be able to lead us to those interesting ongoings.'

"Alright," said Seth, "I'll come. When?"

"She would like to meet you after school," said Issei, "See you around."

Issei then left, and Seth said, "See ya man."

'Seems odd. You think she might be a part of these things?'

"Who?"

'The Club President.'

"We'll find out when we get there," said Seth, taking his seat.

Soon, school was over, and the duo arrived at the Occult Research Club. The club house is a three story building, with the third story serving as a clock-tower. It has been painted white with a black roof with vines creeping up to the second story.

Seth walked through the doors, and took in the room. The club room interior is a wood-paneled room with Victorian-style couches and chairs along the walls. One side is set up to be able to be used as a bath, and a large circle Seth wondered what it was for.

He took a look around, looking at the members. One was a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure, very long black hair and violet eyes. Her hair is tied in a long ponytail, reaching all the way down to her legs with two strands sticking out from the top and sloping backward, with an orange ribbon keeping it in place. Her body measurements are B102-W60-H89cm [B40-W24-H35 in]. Her body weight is 54kg [119 lbs], while she is 5ft 6" tall (168cm). Like the girls at Kuoh Academy, she is wearing the customary Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform; a white long-sleeved, button-down shirt with vertical linings, a black ribbon on the collar, a black shoulder cape and matching button-down corset, and a magenta skirt with white accents, along with black calf-length socks.

Another was a petite girl with white hair and gold eyes. Her body measurements are [B67-W57-H73 cm] [B26-W22-H29 in]. Her weight is [31 kg] [68 lbs]. The front of her hair has two long bangs going past her shoulders and several loose bangs hanging over her forehead, while the back has a short bob cut. She also wears a black cat-shaped hair clip on both sides of her hair.

Standing next to the exit was a young man with short blond hair, blue eyes and a mole underneath his left eye. He wears the Kuoh Academy boys' school uniform, which consists of a black blazer with white accents over a white, long-sleeved dress shirt with a black ribbon on the collar, matching black pants, and brown dress shoes.

And lastly, there was a pretty young girl with long blonde hair and green eyes. Her body measurements are [B83→85-W55-H81→83 cm]; height is [155 cm] [5 feet 1 inch] and body weight is [44→45 kg] [97→98 lbs]. Her hair flows all the way down to her back, with split bangs over her forehead and a single strand sticking out from the top and sloping backward. She wears the Kuoh Academy girls' uniform, albeit with a black sweater vest over her dress shirt in place of the cape and corset.

Seth walked towards the desk, and sitting there, was the red headed woman he saw the other day.

"Hello there," said Seth, "I can assume you're the club president?"

"Yes I am," said the woman, "My name is Rias Gremory. This is Akeno, Kenko, Kiba, Asia, and you know Issei."

"Yeah," said Seth, "So, what do you wish from me?"

"I wish for you to join," said Rias.

'I like this chick,' said Venom, 'I want a piece of her!'

"Shut up," whispered Seth, before saying, "So, how do I join?"

"Simple," said Rias, "Become one of us. Become, a devil."

Then suddenly, two jet black bat-like wings with red halo outlines appear from her back.

"Oh," said Seth, unsurprised.

This actually made the rest a bit confused. This was much different from how others reacted.

"Well, I suppose after working Gamma Monsters, Gods, and aliens, this isn't that surprising," said Seth, "What about you buddy?"

'Yeah. This doesn't even make the top ten.'

"You got that right."

"Who are you talking to?" asked Keneko.

Asia then used her powers to look inside Seth's mind, only to hear one thought, 'OCCUPIED SWEETIE!'

Asia then fell back in shock, and panted. Kiba and Issei were quick to help her back up, and the latter asked, "Asia, what happened?"

"I... I was just wanting to look at Seth's memories," said Asia, "But, there was something that stopped me."

"Yes," said Rias, "You do have something inside of you, but it's not Sacred Gear. What is it?"

Seth sighed, "Okay, you got us."

"Us?" asked Akeno.

Then, from Seth's shoulder, came a black tendril, and on the end, came Venom's face. Even Rias was shocked at the sight.

"What are you?"

"I am Venom. And you, seem to want to know about us. Well, if we do, we'd have to kill you."

Seth pulled Venom back, and said, "Venom! What did I tell you!?"

"Yeah, yeah, don't make that joke."

"Yes," said Seth, "Now, about me, I'm actually undercover."

"Undercover?" asked Kiba.

"I was sent here under the orders of Director Fury. Head of Supreme Headquarters, International Espionage and Law-Enforcement Division, or S.H.I.E.L.D. for short. Also, working for another group."

"What's that?" asked Akeno.

"Anyone familiar with the Avengers?"

Everyone's eyes went wide, and Issei asked, "You're part of them!?"

"Not yet," said Seth, "Will be soon. Just a few more missions and training sessions. But, what about you lot? What's with the demon thing?"

"There's a war raging between the Devils, Angels, and the Fallen Angels. The Fallen Angels are the Angels that have fallen from the grace of God, due to having "impure thoughts" that divert them from the teachings of the God in the Bible. The Angels are powerful beings who serve the Biblical God, and have the powers to inflict pain upon Devils/demons and by extension the Fallen Angels, due to their light-based powers. And us Devils, well, you know about where we come from. The Three Factions of Angels, Devils, and Fallen Angels eventually came to war against one another under the leaderships of the Biblical God, the Four Great Satans, and the Fallen Angel organization, Grigori, led by Azazel, in a conflict which came to be known as the Great War."

"Well," said Seth, "Looks like we're in for a HELL of a time."

"Oh yeah," said Venom.

"Was that a pun?" asked Asia.

"Yeah. Just gotta do one. I know it's not, PUNNY!"

"Please, stop," said Kiba.

"What? It's not on paper. That would be TEAR-able! Ha! I'm on roll today!"

Rias now holds up a red Pawn piece in her hand. "In order to make you as one of us, you'll have to be made into one. For what I have seen in you, and of what you have spoken, you'll begin as a Pawn, like that of a chess set. Eventually, you will reach a higher rank."

Seth backed up a bit, asking, "Is this gonna hurt!?"

"No," said Rias.

Seth then nods, and closes his eyes. He then felt a surge of energy pulse through his body, and his eyes turned to red for a brief moment, before turning back to brown.

"WOAH!" said Seth, "HEAD RUSH!"

"Welcome to the Occult Research Club," said Rias, "Now, to get you started."
