Author's Note: Hello it's me with more and just a quick update in the last chapter I went back and made a few changes. I originally wanted only Meliodas and Chandler but I went back and added Zeldris and Cusack for a reason and I'll tell you if you don't mind a spoiler...there's gonna be another Death(s), as for who it is your gonna have to read to find that out. (The title has a hint)
Anyways other than that I've come up with a few things with help. Such as the commandments, so first is that I've decided on a commandment for Meliodas and that I kinda gave up on trying to think up a special commandment for him I asked but I didn't get much feedback. Which is why I turned to the person who has helped me with my other fanfic, DemDazer some may know him/her and others may not but he helped me with the Commandments of Repose and Patience, and that one of them goes to Meliodas and the other to the Demon King but I'll give that commandment to someone when I figure out who that is but you can give me people to choose from.
Anyways that's all from me I've also kinda put this because of my laziness but here's this chapter.
Chapter 8-Death from the Sitri household
Kuoh Town
Currently, Rias and her remaining peerage members were in Issei's house. Issei had recovered and when he learned of Kiba's death and Asia being taken he was quick to leave and try and avenge them but didn't even leave the door when Rias told him about Estarossa's commandment.
"Look Issei I know you want to go and get back Asia and avenge Kiba but with the amount of hatred within you right now you wouldn't be able to do a thing." Rias reasoned with him as he settled down and sat on his couch but was still seething with anger.
"Look I won't go and try and do something stupid but I don't just wanna sit here while those bastards are still alive after what they've done!" Issei shouted as everyone was a little shocked after his outburst but understood why. If you had woken up from a coma to find out that another friend died while another was taken anyone would be angry and try and get revenge.
"Your right but in the meantime, we need to stay calm and come up with a plan of action instead of simply challenging them to a fight." Xenovia spoke up this time explaining that acting irrational will only lead them to their deaths and instead should try and find a way to deal with them.
"Well, what do you suggest we do?" Everyone turned their heads to Koneko who spoke up. "If you haven't forgotten that as long as Estarossa is near us then we can't fight back. Not only that but we don't know what other commandments that Meliodas or Zeldris have." She finished as everyone grits their teeth after realizing what she said. They had no idea what their commandments were, sure they knew Estarossa's because he told them but they don't know Zeldris's or Meliodas's commandment, and trying to guess from the other Nine would be almost impossible.
Before Rias could speak there was a knock on the door. Hesitantly, Issei opened the door and saw Sona and her peerage with her Sister, Serafall Leviathan.
"What are you guys doing here?" Issei asked confused as he let them inside as everyone also wondered and before Sona answered her sister did.
"Sirzehchs told us to come here saying that groups are the best option and I'm here because I couldn't leave my cute little sister behind." She spoke very seriously until the end which made her sister sigh believing that she was being serious about this.
"Yes, as my sister said we will be in groups, the numbers haven't been in place yet so I brought my peerage with me. I hope we are not intruding?" She asked pushing her glasses up having a menacing glare making Issei and Saji flinch.
"No, you are not were just discussing how we know nothing about Meliodas or Zeldris's commandments while only knowing Estarossa's." Rias spoke up as everyone was sitting down either on the couch, a chair, or the floor.
"Can someone tell me what the other commandments are?" Issei asked as the only ones who would know would be Asia, Xenovia, and Irina as two have read the Bible before being turned into devils and the other is still an Angel.
"I forgot that Devils can't read the Bible...though I didn't believe for a second that you knew what it was even before you became a Devil." Xenovia bluntly said sending Issei into the corner with a cloud over his head making Saji snicker despite also not knowing the commandments but no one spoke.
"Well, here they are in order." Irina spoke up as everyone turned to her and she spoke once more.
"You shall have no other Gods before me."
"You shall not have idols."
"You shall not take the name of God in Vain."
"You shall remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it Holy."
"You shall honor your Father and Mother."
"You shall not Murder."
"You shall not commit Adultery."
"You shall not Steal."
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor."
"You shall not Covet."
Irina finished with a sigh and drinking some water and looked up to see the devils with slight headaches except for Xenovia and Asia.
"I guess reading something from the Bible gives you headaches." She said tilting her head to the side seemingly ignoring that Asia and Xenovia were immune. After a few minutes, the Devils recovered heads slightly pounding but were better.
"A-Anyways..." Serafall started still trying to get over her headache. "...Now that we know what the commandments in the Bible are we need to figure out what their commandments are and which ones they correspond with." She said dropping her playful demeanor as everyone paid attention and nodded before yawing.
"Then again we can't fight an enemy if we're tired." Rias spoke ordering everyone to go to bed and they did so without complaint and Serafall, her sister, and her peerage decided to crash in Issei's place too tired and lazy to create a magical circle.
But...their laziness would severely cost them.
With Meliodas nearing Dawn
Meliodas with his brother, Chandler, and Cusack were above the town of Kuoh sensed Demonic energy coming from this place allowing them to believe that they are here.
"It's nearing dawn what are we going to do?" Cusack asked a little irritated that they spent most of the night flying towards a town that was having daylight.
"Don't worry I planned for this." Meliodas spoke surprising Cusack as he turned to Chandler. "Chandler at the right moment cast Darkness so that when they wake it appears that it's still the middle of the night Changing their perception of time until they check it themselves. This should give us enough time to find out where they are exactly." Meliodas said as Cusack grinned as Meliodas already thought ahead as did Chandler.
After a few moments, Meliodas gave Chandler the order and the man nodded as he carded his spell, creating darkness making it seemingly night still. This was when they sensed for their power and after a few moments, they found them.
Back in Issei's house
Issei was the first to wake up due to his alarm clock as he turned it off. He opened his blinds...to see that it was night.
"W-What the...?" He questioned half-asleep as he looked at his clock and saw that it was 6:00 in the morning.
"H-Hey guys...somethings wrong or that my clock is just broken." Issei yelled loud enough to wake everyone up, which got him some irritated people and an ass-kicking from Koneko, Saji, and Xenovia.
"Bastard some of us are trying to sleep!" Saji yelled seemingly knowing that everyone was already awake. Issei weekly pointed to his blinds aggravating his fellow pawn even more.
"What could so important that...you would...wake us all up for..." His voice trailed off...he looked to Issei's clock seeing that it was 6:10.
Everyone was now wide awake wondering why was it night if it was supposed to be the day. Until...
"Maybe we're all inside a dream together!" Issei said slamming his fist in his hand thinking he figured it out. Everyone just stared at him until Koneko walked up to him and punched him in the balls.
"Baka. We're all having the same dream at the same time. Besides..." Koneko paused ignoring a writhing Issei on the floor. "...I'm sensing magic outside...and a lot of it." She finished as everyone got dressed and rushed outside trying to find who or what was responsible for this.
They looked all around before coming together back at their school. It was the weekend meaning that they didn't have to worry about any classmates but that didn't mean anything about the town residence.
"Did anyone find anything?" Rias asked as everyone shook their heads no. She clenched her fist wondering where this could be coming and who was strong enough to produce something this large until a voice broke her from her thoughts.
"I must say this plan of yours was great. Making them believe that it was the night for a few moments was great and all we needed was for them to scorer the area until they came here." Everyone looked around before looking up seeing Meliodas and Zeldris with two older men behind them.
"Meliodas..!" Issei spoke with venom and anger as he said his name. Everyone was glaring until they noticed something...Estarossa was not with them.
"I see you have noticed that Estarossa is not with us. That is because he is doing other things at the moment." Zeldris explained that everyone seemed relieved that they could fight and possibly kill one of them until Issei spoke again.
"Where the hell is Asia, you bastards!? Give her BACK!" Issei yelled again as everyone else wanted the same answer but Cusack answered for them.
"Watch your tone when speaking with them." He spoke seething with anger as he continued. "As for your question, she is with Sir Estarossa...training." He said as everyone was surprised, why was the enemy training her? What reason do they gain from this?
"Also..." Cusack spoke again snapping them out of their daze. "...I should mention that she is also helping Sir Estarossa with his Sacred Gear." He smirked as did his fellow demons seeing their shocked faces until Tsubaki spoke.
"Lies! She wouldn't help you willingly you must have manipulated her mind some way!" She yelled gaining a frown on her enemy's faces, it was times like these they wished they had Galand with them but they had to make do with who they have.
"Believe what makes you happy but we do not lie." Chandler spoke up this time before he saw Issei enter into his Scale Mail armor and seeing a few others reading their magic or the Sacred Gears they possess.
"Guys no matter what fight to kill these bastards!" Serafall said as everyone nodded but Cusack had a scowl on his face but was interested in the Sacred Gears.
"Are these those Sacred Gears you mentioned?" Cusack asked as Meliodas nodded. Cusack grinned as he began looking at them, seemingly trying to find out which ones to fight before he settled on Sona's peerage.
"Chandler, I shall handle the girl with glasses and her comrades." He said as Chandler nodded and when Cusack blinked and looked at them he felt power coming from Serafall.
"You..." She spoke as the air became colder, the ground freezing up. "...Will not lay a hand on her!" She yelled before she flew from her spot at Cusack who met her in the middle with his swords before disappearing around the air battling as Serafall created swords from Ice.
Meanwhile, everyone else was watching them fight before they disappeared into the Forest but the quakes from their battle could still be felt.
"Young Master if I may I shall fight the girl with glasses and her group." He said as Meliodas nodded. Chandler flew down to Sona's group as they prepared for battle as Chandler smiled showing his sharp teeth.
"You will not live to see tomorrow." He calmly spoke as he dashed at them sending them into a separate part of the Forest while Meliodas and Zeldris flew down to the ground before dispersing their wings as they stared at them.
"Give us back Asia!" Issei quickly shouted as he dashed at Meliodas who blocked with his blade before kicking him inside the school leaving Zeldris with Rias and her peerage.
Zeldris was still looking at them as Xenovia gripped her sword ready to avenge Kiba as did Koneko clenching her fist and Zeldris didn't need telepathy to figure out what they were thinking.
"I can tell that you want to avenge your comrade's death by killing me. But tell me what would that accomplish?" He asked as this seemed to anger them but he continued. "Even if you somehow kill me you would have nine other commandments to deal with and even then someone else would have my commandment by then." He said as everyone took a moment to think about this. If he could be replaced that would mean that the commandments could be taken from them, everyone grinned at the realization but only wondered how they would get them.
"If you're trying to figure out how to take our commandments you can forget it." Zeldris snapped them out of their happy thoughts as everyone glared hard at the demon, he said that purposely so he could get their hopes up.
Before they could even fight Issei came crashing out from a window as he landed on his feet before dodging purple flames as Meliodas jumped down from a hole in the wall he made.
(The fighting with Cusack)
Serafall was having quite the trouble with Cusack. When they clashed weapons in the middle he said the spell Rezonanto his eyes glowed red but she didn't know her own eyes glowed red and she kept fighting.
Sending icicles forcing him to block or dodge as she charges at him ready aiming to stab his heart ready to end him but sadly for the Devil the Demon conjured up some purple flames as he slammed his hand into the creating destroying the landscape around him as well as the ice she created.
Cusack disappeared from her sight as she frantically tried to find him before she looked up and dodged to the side before she was impaled by a sword clad in darkness. Serafall created a magical seal underneath Cusack as she froze him and she prepared to break it but to her surprise, he broke free just by moving as he jumped away from her.
"You are strong I'll admit that but..." Cusack said as he was standing atop a scorched tree. "...you are in Sir Zeldris's way and for that, you must be eliminated." Cusack coldly said as his eyes glowed red, then Serafall's eyes glowed red and she found herself unable to move...and unable to speak.
"I bet you're wondering why you can't move or speak. Remember the spell I used earlier, well this is the result." Serafall eyes practically widened, this entire time during their fight he could have ended it like this.
"But...for disrespecting the royal family...there shall be punishment..." He spoke with a dark grin as he recalled how she reacted when he was going to fight the other girl. "...And I believe I know what it's going to be." He finished as Serafall was glaring at him while simultaneously figuring out what he was going to do and his grin wasn't helping.
With Chandler
To say Sona's group was having trouble would be an understatement. Chandler was giving them a very difficult time from shrinking Saji to almost putting Momo in molten Lava.
He was very relentless in his attacks, his power was greater than a rook and his magic was higher than a Queen.
Before Chandler could cast another spell he was forced to dodge icicles as he turned and saw...Serafall.
"Something's not right, as strong as she is she couldn't have defeated Cusack so easily without anything to show it, unless..." Chandler looked very closely and saw through the hair that was covering her face, her eyes were red.
Chandler chuckled at the realization, she was under Cusack's control. While making sure that not giving it away was easy for him but the moment Cusack acts...everything will fall.
"Serafall-Sama! She defeated the other one now we can defeat this one!" Tsubaki yelled as everyone now had hope but Chandler knew otherwise, for now, he would have to play along and act as if Cusack was dead.
"I must admit you're strong, no one has defeated the Napping Reaper before and for you to be the first must make you strong." Chandler started ranting buying time for whatever Cusack wanted to do. "So I have an offer, join us, and your friends here will not be killed or harmed in any way..." Everyone couldn't believe what he was doing, trying to get Sona's sister to join him!? It was as if he didn't care about his friend. "...So, do we have a deal?" He finished as everyone turned to Serafall who was quiet during this. Sona was quite worried because she's been awfully quiet ever since she arrived during this fight, which isn't in her personality.
"Are you ok, Née-San?" Sona asked as she walked up to her but inside Serafall's mind she had one thing going through it.
"GET AWAY!" But sadly it was only in her thoughts as she remembered exactly what Cusack said to her before coming here.
FlashBack
"I can assume by now that Chandler has killed them or is still having his fun with those group of children." Cusack said to him as he was trying to figure out what to do and during this, he decided to ask Serafall.
"What do you think?" He asked her allowing her to speak as she spits in his face as he wiped it off his cheek in disgust as he kicked her in the face spitting out some blood.
"My sister and her peerage will never lose to someone like him!" She yelled as Cusack was about to kick her again when he grinned at her words.
"Sister you say, well I do believe that confirms the punishment I have for you." He spoke as he forced Serafall to stand up and it took her a few seconds before realizing what he was implying.
"N-No...you wouldn't!?" Tears threatening to fall down her face at her realization. All it took was his evil grin to break any hope she had that he was lying, kidding with her but sadly his face, his grin, and his eyes told her otherwise.
Flashback End
Serafall created a sword of Ice and pointed it towards Chandler, everyone thought that she was denying it, but it was all a ruse.
"I see, can't say I haven't tried. Well then...time to die." Time seemed to slow down as Serafall gripped her sword, Sona turned around to face him.
"We will not fail to someone...like...you..." She barely finished her sentence, everyone turned to see the ice sword that Serafall created had impaled her. Sona's peerage ran towards her as if time had never slowed down in the first place
"W-Why did you do that!?" Tsubaki said as she tried to remove the ice sword from her stomach but was failing. Reya was crying while Momo was also crying but trying to remove the sword so she could heal her as blood started spilling out from her stomach.
Serafall was forced to watch her sister bleed to death in front of her as she released her grip on the sword. Then she created another sword as everyone took notice and took a step away from her with Sona, but to their surprise, she turned the sword towards herself before plunging it through her chest.
"I guess Cusack has done his job." Chandler praised as he returned Saji back to normal size as he ran over to Serafall to give her a piece of his mind when he noticed that her eyes were red and had tears in them before turning to normal.
"Pacifier Demon, I had assumed you were still playing with them." Cusack appeared as he landed on the ground and everyone was surprised to see him as they assumed that Serafall had...defeated...him.
That's when everything clicked in Tsubaki's head, Serafall never defeated Cusack, he had defeated her and used her to lower their guard so he can kill Sona and then herself.
"I'll admit that she gave me some trouble but she dropped her guard when we clashed weapons in the Forest as used my spell on her." The demon explained what he had done as Sona's peerage turned to them, behind them were two dead Sitri.
"You fucking bastards! I'll kill you and the rest of the commandments!" Saji yelled but Cusack and Chandler laughed at his statement which only angered him and the person stopping him was Tsubasa the rook.
"You see...we never said we were a part of the Ten Commandments." Chandler revealed that as everyone froze, they weren't a part of the Ten Commandments but were this powerful!?
"We are high-ranking demons from the Demon Realm. We are stronger and harder to kill unlike most." Cusack said stroking his mustache as Chandler was preparing a spell.
"As fun as this was, it's time to end this childish game. Exterminate Ray." He calmly said as a ray blasted from his fingers but Tsubaki was in the way using her Mirror to reflect it.
"Full Counter." Chandler spoke another spell as he reflected it a Saji instead as he was blasted through a tree.
"Gen-Chan!" Momo yelled not seeing him get up. Turning back towards the Demons they all prepared to fight as Chandler turned to Cusack.
"This is getting troublesome, can you go and make sure the Young Masters are alright Cusack?" Chandler asked annoyed at the current situation as Cusack nodded and flew off leaving Chandler behind to deal with the remaining members of Sona's peerage.
With Rias's group
Their school was practically destroyed during their fight. Meliodas was dealing with Issei and Rias while Zeldris dealt with Koneko, Xenovia, and Irina while Gasper was hiding in a box away from danger.
"DRAGON SHOT!"
"Full Counter!"
Meliodas returned Issei's spell but sent it towards Rias who barely dodge it as she looked at the medium-sized crater in the ground.
"Issei we can't get careless with our spells! We need to watch how much power we put into our attacks so that it doesn't just backfire on us!" Rias yelled trying to get Issei to listen to her but he was too hell-bent on fighting him with his anger and rage...that Meliodas's commandment took place.
Issei had suddenly stopped in his tracks, his anger and rage had subsided, they just left as if they weren't there in the first place...as did the rest of his emotions.
"I see that my commandment has taken its effect. I possess the command of Repose, those who defy it in my presence will be stripped of all of their emotions." Meliodas explained his commandment as Rias paled, she looked to see Issei who was punched beside her as his helmet disappeared only to be met with dull eyes.
Any sort of emotion that was in Issei was gone. Rias started tearing up at the realization and everyone looked over from their battle with Zeldris.
"Rias what happened with Issei!?" Koneko asked as she heard her sobs. Zeldris looked over to Meliodas wondering what happened as Meliodas spoke up and told everyone what he had told Rias.
Zeldris smirked while everyone else looked at Meliodas with anger but at the mention of his Commandment they had to try and keep it in check lest they turn out like Issei.
Zeldris started walking over before dodging an attack that was dark red with some black. He jumped back landing next to Meliodas and Cusack as he saw Sirzechs with Grayfia by his side as well as quite a few devils behind them.
Meliodas was about to speak when he sensed more people coming. Chandler landed next to them with good timing as he started speaking.
"My apologies Young Master, I was going to finish them off when Devils and Fallen Angels swarmed the area but I did manage to grab these." He said as he pulled out Sacred Gears from his pocket that belonged to Reya Kusaka and Tsubaki Shinra. Meliodas smirked, of course, these most likely don't compare to the Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing Sacred Gears but they have more which is good.
"That's fine but for now we leave. We should try and bring another commandment here." He said as they were about to leave when lighting came crashing down in front of him, he didn't flinch but gained a glare as he looked to the sky and saw a fallen Angel with his own scowl and glare.
"You were the Devil that killed my daughter and as such, I cannot allow you to leave here alive!" He was a middle-aged, gruff-looking man with black hair and a beard to math with a muscular-looking body. This was the Vice-Governor to the Fallen Angels Baraquiel Himejima, father to Akeno Himejia as he had ten black wings on his back.
"I will tell you what I told the redheaded fools over there..." He said pointing to Sirzechs and Rias. "...we are not Devils, we are Demons from the Demon Realm, and as for killing your daughter I believe she used Lighting magic." Meliodas said recalling his battle with Akeno as she was the only lighting user he faced when arriving here.
"There is no such place as the Demon Realm. There is only the Underworld, The Human World, and Heaven." He said not believing the words coming out of his mouth not that Meliodas cared, whether he believed him or not is up to him but he has things to do such as bringing the commandments here and having a portal to their world to bring Demons over to this one.
"Let us go, we have no business here." Zeldris spoke as he looked to Chandler, who nodded and teleported the Demons back to their base.
Sirzechs grit his teeth for letting them get away and before he could down to his sister a Devil gained his attention.
"Lucifer-Sama! We found the bodies of Sona Sitri and Serafall Leviathan both dead as well as Sona's peerage members Tsubaki Shinra and Reya Kusaka!" Now he had a shocked expression as did everyone around him, the next head of the Sitri family is dead as well as the one of the four Satans.
"Within the few weeks they've been here they have caused a lot of damage in the Supernatural world..." Azazel appeared flying next to Sirzechs as he saw the dead bodies. "...and whether we like it or not...the humans will be dragged into this at some point whether they want it or not. For now, we should wipe any memories of humans who may have seen what happened here." He finished as he floated away ordering Devils and Fallen Angels to do work while others went to fix the school, the damaged forest, or healing the Devils that were injured including Irina.
However, this is only the beginning for defeating the Ten Commandments is no easy task, and this will only be the start of their world falling into chaos.
End Chapter
Authors Note: Hello it's me and you've reached the bottom of this Chapter and yeah I killed off Serafall, Sona, Tsubaki, and Reya and took away Issei's emotions, and honestly with that part I was thinking of using a different commandment on him but I guess I can either settle for this or just do what I was originally going to do to him but that's a secret for now.
So while not stated you can easily guess that Meliodas was after Issei's boosted Gear after hearing how powerful it was but instead got the artificial ones that Azazel created but either way it doesn't matter.
So I have an idea already for the next chapter and all I will say is that Ophis will be introduced and after well I'll see from there but goodbye and wait till the next chapter.
