Chapter 4

"So you mean to tell me you and the rest of the Hero Faction unsealed the Seven Deadly Sins, and now they're causing chaos in our world?" Rias asked Georg as he did a so-so motion.

"Well, technically, they aren't causing chaos in our world, but they are now on the loose. However, I do believe that they will only desire to learn what they missed before making their move." Georg said as Rias groaned while listening to Georg for the past hour, which would've been more bearable had Issei been there at her side like he usually is during the other meetings.

"It doesn't matter what you say because it doesn't change the fact that you literally released seven of the most powerful and dangerous beings into our world once again!" Rias shouted as Georg groaned as he replied to her.

"That doesn't have to mean you got to rub it in my face," Georg said as Rias then stomped out of the room before Georg looked at Asia and asked.

"Trouble in paradise with the Red Dragon Emperor since he's married to the Phoenix Heiress and not her?" Georg asked as Asia stopped her healing on Cao Cao before turning to him and asked.

"How did you know?!"

"Just because we weren't there doesn't mean we didn't hear about it. The grapevine carried a lot of gossip, so it was easy to piece together what was true and what wasn't true." Georg said as he sat up in his bed before cracking his neck.

"Also, you are probably wondering why I'm not trying to escape, and you answer that I don't have anywhere to go. The Hero Faction is destroyed, and Rizevim Lucifer is dead, meaning there's no point in fighting anymore. I'll take my punishment as a man, but knowing Cao Cao, he'll try to fight back since his pride wouldn't accept him being saved by the same faction he's been trying to destroy." Georg said as he manifested a shadow arm but groaned as he let his body rest to recover from his injuries.

Asia was surprised by this before Georg spoke to her.

"I can tell you probably did something that strained your relationship with him, so if you want to get back on his loving side, then you got to show him that you are serious about really wanting to be in a relationship with him," Georg said as Asia pouted and replied.

"And what makes you such an expert on love?"

"Well, unlike you, I know how to actually not screw up my relationships because I was so blind I didn't even see his pain or the fact he wasn't sure if you really loved him. Not that I blame him. I mean, it's not like he saved you from death countless times, gave you a place in his family after your parents abandoned you, and even nearly died in Juggernaut Drive because you were weak and were captured by Adjuka's brother. Honestly, I wouldn't want a woman who was such a crybaby and weak that all she can do is heal me when I'm injured." Georg said as Asia slammed her hands on the bed and glared at him as best she could, but the shadow user merely laughed at the attempt and pushed her away with the shadows.

"Oh, please. You don't scare me. You are the weakest link, and if it weren't for Issei, you would still be dead. It must irritate him having to pretend to put up with a girl who's so weak that all she does is get captured like some damsel in distress. Can't blame him for choosing to marry Ravel over you." Georg said as Asia glared at the shadow user and wanted to punch him, but all she would do was prove him right.

"I don't have to hear this from you," Asia said as she stomped out of the room before Georg called out to her.

"Talk to him and become stronger! That's the only way you'll be able to stay by his side; otherwise, someone else will take your spot in his heart and replace you." Georg said as Asia felt her heart freeze at this before recalling the many times that Issei had saved her in the past and suffered while all she did was cry and heal him after the fight was over.

'Is he right? Have I been a burden to Issei the whole time?' Asia pondered as she looked back when Issei saved her all the time and the times that Issei comforted her when she was sad or angry about something.


Flashback. A Month Ago.

Asia was outside Issei's bedroom door while clutching the small mouse plushie Issei had won for her on their first date. She then knocked on the door before Issei came out and looked down at her in surprise.

"Asia? What are you doing here?" Issei asked as he didn't hate the former nun but was wondering why she was in front of his room before she responded to him.

"I...I had a nightmare, and I-I know our relationship isn't the same as before, but I still wanted to." Asia stuttered before Issei gently patted her head.

"Asia. Just because our relationship isn't the same as before doesn't mean I don't want you around anymore. I care about you, Asia, and a small part of my heart still does want to see you happy, so if you ever need comfort, don't hesitate to reach out to me." Issei said as he looked tired but was still willing to listen and comfort Asia before Asia thanked him and fell asleep in his arms, which made Ravel smile at this side of her husband since she knew that Issei still cared for them and wanted to help them but still kept his heart a bit closed off from any advances like when Rias tried to seduce him with outfits and foreplay.

End Flashback.


Asia thought back as she gripped her left hand with her right one as she looked at her rings and found it quite ironic that her rings were meant to heal the wounds of anyone Asia wished to, and yet Asia couldn't heal the wounds she inflicted on his heart.

"He's right about me. I've been responsible for the pain Issei has had to go through. If I was strong like Xenovia, then maybe I could be of more use to Issei rather than just being a burden to him." Asia said to herself while Xenovia was going through her struggles after Issei left for his training.


Xenovia was in the training arena and saw that no one else was around before summoning Ex-Durandal. Still, instead of easily lifting the sword like she always did, the sword felt really heavy as it fell to the ground, its chains wrapped around its blade and handle.

"I don't blame you for rejecting me since these past three months have proven that I'm far from worthy," Xenovia said as she looked at the sword that rejected her and recalled how the sword was so powerful, and yet she out of many other candidates was able to wield its power.

However, after Issei left for his training, the sword began to reject her after seeing her soul and training waver before it allowed her to use its power one last time in the battle of Bael Peerage. Afterward, the sword remained in its seal, not allowing Xenovia to use its power after the battle, which really hurt the warrior's pride as she knew that the sword wasn't just a hunk of metal but a blade that chose if its wielder was worthy of using its power.

"I'm supposed to be a Knight, a fucking Knight. And even then, I didn't have the speed to get to Issei to help him against his battle against that damned Descendant of Beelzebub." Xenovia then turned to her mirror and looked at Asia in her thoughts before she gritted her teeth. "Asia is much faster than me, even though she isn't a Knight. She is a Bishop, one that is known for healing others. Should Asia have been honed for battle like me, she could've easily saved Issei before I could even attempt to do so."

Xenovia said as she closed her eyes and imagined their roles swapped, with Asia as a warrior who was more competent than her in battle, fighting alongside Issei. At the same time, she was a healer and supported in the rear while watching them from behind.

"Maybe. Maybe if Asia and I had exchanged roles, then maybe our relationship with Issei would've been stronger, and we could've helped him better before his training." Xenovia said as she looked back at her sword before pondering about Asia using the sword better than she could since, after all, Xenovia was an Amazon woman who was a fool thinking she, herself, deserved to be with Issei after what she did to him and didn't even realize his feelings before it was too late.

"I'm a fool," Xenovia said as she pulled Durandal back into its sealed space before the Knight left the arena on a mission to find Asia Argento.


Meanwhile, the other girls were feeling their regrets now that they could tell that Issei truly had changed for the better, but their relationship with him was still strained.

Rias was in her clubroom, looking at a special photo that she held close to her. It was the photo of her peerage when Issei defeated Riser, and they had a small party to celebrate Issei's victory.

The photo was special since that was the beginning of their lives changing, and it was all thanks to Issei.

"You really changed my life for the better, and I'm grateful for all you've given me, Issei," Rias said as she looked back on her accomplishments. After seeing her actions and contributions in all they'd done together, she realized that she was the weakest link in their group, and she was supposed to be the King, the leader of the peerage. Still, it was really Issei who was responsible for her peerage in even becoming this powerful.

Rias had always had exceptional luck when it came to finding her first three peerage members, but she realized that compared to her old self, she never actually tried to help them with their past issues. Sure, she gave them a roof over their heads, a place to learn and adapt to a normal life, a new life, and a family, but in the end, she never truly helped them.

Until Issei appeared and changed her whole world by helping each of them grow as people, making Rias jealous of Issei's unique ability to understand others and communicate with them, as well as helping them on an emotional level. It made her feel like she disappointed not just her family but herself since they were becoming a real team while Rias was doing the same tricks.

Issei was even responsible for helping Gasper come out of his shell, Xenovia joining her peerage, and even Asia for having a special relationship with the Red Dragon Emperor. Rias attempted to help her team before the battle with Saiorag Bael's peers but failed them as well. In the end, Issei is the one who saved them and brought them victory, as well as calling out the council and even ranked up to the High Class, making him gain his peerage pieces, but he has yet to trade for Asia or Xenovia.

"And ever since the last month, I've been trying to fix my relationship with him, but no matter what I do, I can't seem to get any alone time with him," Rias said as she recalled that the past month was not easy for Rias since she was subjected to seeing Issei and Ravel as a loving married couple, Rossweisse and Issei bonding when they trained in the training area, Gasper and Issei hanging out and having some weird moments with the Gremory heiress thinking Gasper had feelings for Issei, Vali coming to clash with Issei as well. Finally, Kiba was able to restore their brotherhood and make it even stronger.

Leaving her with no chance to find Issei alone and even ask him on a hangout date.

"Mm. What's it going to take to spend some time with Issei?" Rias asked herself as she pouted before a knock on the door was heard. Rias let the visitor in for Ravel to appear before her with a stoic look on her face.

"Rias. A little bird told me you've been feeling lonely. Is it because Issei no longer wishes for your company and wants my warmth instead?" Ravel said with a smug smile as Rias clenched her fists a bit before Ravel continued.

"What did you expect? You ask him out on a few dates, then confess your feelings to him before apologizing to him about what a bitch you were and hope you took you back? This isn't some romance novel. He loved you and moved mountains for you, but what you and the girls said shattered his heart. He may have forgiven you for what you did to him, but I haven't, and I'll make sure you don't get a chance to talk to him about your feelings unless I know you are actually serious about wanting to make amends with him."

Ravel said as Rias slammed her hands on the table and yelled at her.

"And how is that fair to Issei?"

"Because when I look at you, Rias, I can tell you yearn for the old Issei—the one who was a simple yes man and hung onto your every word. You had your chance to be with him, but you had a possessive attitude whenever he was talking to another one of the girls, even though YOU allowed his harem plan and agreed to let Issei spend time with the girls. I love him, and I know that others feel the same way, which is why I let Asia and Xenovia spend time with him as well as Akeno since I know they regretted their actions and wished to make amends with him. So until you fix your attitude, then I won't allow you to be near him." Ravel said as she left Rias alone. The Gremory Heiress didn't say anything as she laid her head down on her desk and let the tears fall from her eyes.

"She's right about me. I still haven't changed. I really did that to him. All because I was a possessive woman who only desired to keep him for myself. I really am a selfish Devil." Rias said as she clenched her fists before shaking her head.

"If I'm going to prove to Ravel that I'm willing to change, then I have to change as well to prove I won't stay in the past," Rias said as she wiped her tears and pulled out her phone before texting someone who she knows can help her get stronger.

Her mother.


Meanwhile, with the Seven Deadly Sins.

"Are you sure you want to go alone, Kaijin? We have only returned for a day and have limited knowledge, even with the girl's memories showing us what she knew about the world." Seraphina said as Kaijin was fiddling with a small box of sorts in his hands before turning to the Archangel and nodding.

"Yes. I-It's important to me since I have some unfinished business within the Youkai Faction. I haven't been able to see my daughter grow into the young lady she is, but I, at the very least, wish to give her a special gift. I wanted to give it to her when she was born so she would be able to learn how to defend herself from enemies when they attempt to kidnap her, which would've been helpful when these pathetic heroes kidnapped my wife." Kaijin said as he felt the Archangel hug the Youkai before nodding.

"I understand well, Kaijin. Just promise me you'll come back," Seraphina said as Kaijin nodded before the massive Youkai left the area. Seraphina watched him leave before Aphrodite approached her.

"Lady Seraphina. I wish to inform you that I was able to obtain more information on the factions, as well as their allies. Shall I inform the others for a meeting?" Aphrodite asked as Seraphina nodded before explaining Kaijin's absence.

The others gathered around a stone table they made before Seraphina began to speak to them.

"Aphrodite has collected the data from the victim and the files from this faction and learned that the Biblical Allied Faction has become allies with not only the Youkai Faction but also the Norse and the Greeks. This means that they are a powerful force to be reckoned with, but thanks to the powers we have gained from Earthland, we are more than powerful enough to deal with them." Seraphina said as Aphrodite then pulled out two files and passed them around.

"Also, I would like to point out that the Red and White Dragon Emperors, Issei Hyoudou and Vali Lucifer, are very powerful foes since they have gained a reputation in both our world and Earthland well," Aphrodite explained as the others looked at their files before Malachi smiled at this.

"Interesting. I wonder what the Dragon Emperor's powers are like when I obtain them." Malachi said with a sinister grin before Seraphina nodded.

"I understand your interest in them, but I have an assignment for you, Malachi. We'll need you to enter Cocytus and retrieve the Fallen Angel known as Kokabiel. With your new abilities, you are more than a match for that old skeleton Hades and should be able to deal with him." Seraphina said as Malachi nodded before the Archangel turned to the others.

"And as for the rest of you, we'll need to deal with the Biblical Factions allies, which is why I want two of you to deal with the Norse and the Greeks," Seraphina said as she then looked to the Valkyrie, who slammed her hands on the table.

"Seraphina. Allow me to go back to my old faction and make that fool Odin learn why he shouldn't have underestimated me. I wish to make him suffer for what he did to my sisters by leaving us to die against his daughter Hela." Sigurn said as Seraphina nodded before Aphrodite raised a hand.

"I wish to go to the Greeks since I wish to learn more about my father who created me and made him suffer for leaving me with those disgusting people who tried to use me," Aphrodite said as her eyes turned blood red for a moment until Seraphina nodded at the request.

"Of course. I shall allow it, but Sigurn, I want Alistair to go with you while Gluttowendigo shall assist Aphrodite in dealing with some of the Greek Gods. Let's see how strong the 'Gods' really are when they face us once again." Seraphina said as Malachi then spoke to her and asked.

"And what about you?"

"Oh, I'll be paying a visit to my dear brother Michael and saying hello after such a long vacation," Seraphina said as she giggled in amusement before the six headed out to their locations. Malachi pulled out a book and snapped his fingers as four portals appeared all around them.

"Happy hunting, everyone," Malachi said as he went into his own before the others did so. The room was empty, but the Seven Deadly Sins were making their move, and the chaos that would follow their arrival would shake the factions.


Meanwhile, in the Youkai Faction.

"So all security is in position, and there are no issues with the Leylines and security cameras?" Kuroka asked as she spoke to many of the Youkai guards. Vali was impressed with Kuroka's performance since he was surprised that this was the same Youkai that people labeled as a lazy girl.

"I'm very impressed, Kuroka, but you don't have anything to worry about since Issei and Ravel have agreed to join the festival as well," Vali said. Kuroka sighed but nodded before the Nekoshou hugged Vali and replied.

"I know, but after the kidnapping that I was part of when capturing Yasaka, I wanted to make sure something like that would never happen again. Especially since this day is special for Kunou and I don't want anything to get messed up." Kuroka said as she smiled, looked at Vali, and kissed his lips before a voice called out to them.

"Get a room, you lovebirds!" Issei shouted, making Kuroka blush at this, while Vali just glared at him before Issei chuckled in response as Ravel smacked the back of his head.

"Don't be rude, Issei! They invited us to the festival, so the least you could do is be polite to them."

"I am, and I was just kidding. Honest!" Issei said as Ravel shook her head at his sense of humor before Vali smirked at his rival/brother as he welcomed the two to the Youkai Faction.

"Thanks for showing up. It'll make Kuroka feel better knowing that the two Dragon Emperors are here." Vali said as he looked around to see that the four of them were alone before the Whtie Dragon excused himself and Issei to chat a bit in another room. Kuroka and Ravel were okay with that, as Kuroka wanted to chat with Ravel about the wedding.

As soon as Vali and Issei were in a secure room with no one to listen to their conversation, Vali decided to ask. "I also got your message that Cao Cao showed up with Georg at your house. Is that true?"

Issei nodded in response as he pulled out a certain silver key from his sleeve and summoned Caelum. The spirit was actually Issei's before Vali combined his Balance Breaker with the new armor that the White Dragon Emperor struggled with, so Issei offered to share Caelum with him to assist his new armor.

"Caelum recorded the message that Georg gave to them, and I was surprised as well since the Seven Deadly Sins reminded me of that old legend that I read about back in Earthland," Issei said as he asked Caelum to show the story, as the robot nodded and revealed said legend.

"For those who wish to read the tale of the Seven Deadly Sins, be aware that the characters within this tale are not made believe.

In the heart of Earthland, where tales unfold,

A prologue of warning, ancient and bold.

Once upon a time, in an age long past,

A shadowed saga, a darkness amassed.

Seven sins, like specters they crept,

Through realms of men, their legacy swept.

Lust's seduction, a dangerous art,

Innocence shattered, tearing love apart.

Gluttony's feast, an insatiable hunger,

Devouring virtue, a fate it would conjure.

Greed's grasp, avarice's cold embrace,

Power coveted, leaving no trace.

Wrath's tempest, a furious storm,

Leaving desolation in its monstrous form.

Envy's gaze, a green-eyed blaze,

Jealousy's venom, a haunting maze.

Sloth's lethargy, a silent decay,

Draining ambition, leading astray.

Pride's ascent, a treacherous flight,

Blinding heights, casting shadows at night.

Fairy Tail Council, wise and keen,

Inscribed a decree, a mystical sheen.

Sealed away, banished from sight,

To realms unknown, beyond the light.

A legend echoes, a cautionary song,

Seven sins in exile, where they belong.

Heed this prologue, O seekers of lore,

Beware the sins forevermore."

Issei ended the legend as Vali recalled how Issei was intrigued by the legends of the other world they went to before asking.

"So you are saying that the same Seven Deadly Sins, the ones that were from that legend?" Vali asked as Issei nodded in response.

"Indeed. After looking at the legend once more, as well as the legend that Georg said, I could see a pattern in the characters described. The Seven Deadly Sins depicted in both legends of both of the worlds were the very same. That's why I believe they really are here and are now free, thanks to them." Issei said as Vali groaned as he realized that the villains were sent to Earthland before Fairy Tail was even forged; then there was no doubt they wouldn't be an easy opponent to battle with should they appear once again.

"Great. So now we don't just have the Khaos Brigade to worry about but also the Seven Deadly Sins. Should we inform Kuroka and Yasaka about this?" Vali asked as Issei pondered this before shaking his head.

"Not now. After the festival, we should keep an eye out for them as well as look up ways to deal with them. If the Seven Deadly Sins really are back, then they'll be a real threat that can make Khaos Brigade look like a joke. From what I've read about the Seven Deadly Sins is that they are capable of conquering Earthland. The only reason they were sealed away was that Makarov Dreyar and the old council were able to seal them away with a powerful sealing spell. Unfortunately, many of them died after the spell, so we couldn't replicate it even if we wanted to use it on them." Issei explained as Vali groaned at this before sighing. As he then pulled out his phone and typed a message to Azazel.

"Then it looks like we'll have to tell Azazel about it. He's a wizard when it comes to legends and such, so if anyone can figure out how to seal them away once again or weaken them, it's him. I'll also tell Azazel to inform the factions about the Seven Deadly Sins. I hope it's not too late." Vali said as he typed in the message and sent it before both he and Issei headed out of the room and reunited with their girlfriends before they got dressed for the festival. But little did they know that the Seven Deadly Sins had made their move already.


"And you sure that this is where they are now?" Ezra asked as Brandish sighed and replied to the crimson-haired Knight.

"Yes, Erza, now will you calm down and let me concentrate!" Brandish yelled at the Knight as she focused on the tracking spell as they walked into Kuoh Town. At the same time, she passed through some of the people who were surprised by the cosplayers until they made their way to the Hyoudou mansion, which shocked Ezra as she witnessed the massive home.

"Amazing. This mansion is even larger than some of the noble houses back in Earthland. I couldn't believe it when Issei told me that his home was remodeled to look like a mansion, but now I believe him." Ezra said as Brandish nodded before heading to the door and knocking on it hard until the door was opened by Rossweisse herself, who was shocked to see a crimson-haired knight and a green-haired woman in front of the mansion before asking.

"Hello. Can I help you?" Rossweisse asked as Brandish nodded before explaining their visit.

"Yes. I am Brandish μ, and this is Ezra Scarlet. We must speak with Issei Hyoudou immediately, for time is not on our side." Brandish said as Rossweisse had been shocked by the names since she had heard of them from Issei.

"Oh wait! I'm terribly sorry, but Issei isn't here. He and Ravel are at the Youkai Faction for protection detail." Rossweisse said as Ezra grabbed her by the chest and shouted.

"No! We must get to them immediately, or else they'll die to one of the Sins!" Ezra shouted as Brandish pulled her back before speaking to Rossweisse.

"What Ezra said is true. We were sent here to inform Issei Hyoudou and Vali Lucifer of the threat that is coming to this world. Time is of the essence, so please send us to them immediately." Brandish said as Rossweisse crossed her arms and spoke to them with a protective tone.

"And why should I believe you? How do I not know this is some plan to kill him once you get there?" The Valkyrie asked as Ezra tried to reply until Brandish stopped the crimson Knight from speaking.

"You are correct. You have absolutely no reason to trust us, but we do not wish to lose either Issei or Vali. We wish to help them in this fight, so please let us find them and save them from the enemy that will appear to destroy this world." Brandish said as she and Rossweiss did a staring contest before the Valkyrie smiled as she replied to her.

"You really are, as Issei described," Rossweisse said before she opened a teleportation spell. "This will take you to the Youkai Faction, but you should be discrete so you don't draw attention to yourselves."

Brandish smiled as she thanked the Valkyrie before heading into the teleportation spell. Rossweisse caught Ezra before the Valkyrie spoke to her.

"Please save him."

Three simple words resonated in Ezra's mind as she nodded and replied to her.

"We will, and I'll make sure that I don't let this chance slip away from me again," Ezra said as she walked into the portal. She then looked at the many Youkai around her as well as her attire, which changed from a knight's armor to a kimono.

"Teleportation and a clothes-changing spell? Issei wasn't joking when he said that Rossweisse was a skilled magic caster." Ezra said as Brandish walked up to her. The Knight was a bit envious of the kimono the princess was wearing since it showed off Brandish's assets she had on her chest.

"I do wish she gave my chest more room to breathe since it feels constricting," Brandish said as she caressed her chest a bit, which made Ezra's eyebrow twitch a lot before shaking the woman's body.

"Well, worry about that later, but right now, we need to find Issei and Vali!"

"That shouldn't be too hard since they aren't exactly easy to miss," Brandish said as the two women began to walk among the many Youkai to find the dragons. At the same time, Ultear and Dimaria took a different approach when they arrived at the Youkai Faction.

"Man, this place knows how to celebrate!" Dimaria shouted as she enjoyed some of the grilled chicken while Ultear sighed at the Amazon woman's behavior.

"Yes, I'm happy you're happy, but we should get back to finding Vali and Issei," Ultear said as she wished that she had brought Brandish with her instead since the Amazon woman was troublesome at best given her personality outside of battle after meeting Vali and Issei.

"Oh, don't be such a sour puss, Ultear. We know Issei and Vali are here, so let's enjoy the festival while looking for them. It's not like one of the sins will appear at the festival. That's just crazy!" Dimaria said as she handed some of her food to her. "Here, have some food and relax a bit."

Ultear struggled to resist as her stomach growled at the smell before she took some of the chicken and enjoyed it.

"It's good," Ultear said as Dimaria cheered in excitement.

"I knew you'd like it. Now, let's look for our silver-haired boyfriend. He's probably with that cat woman Kuroka that he wanted to confess his feelings to when they got back to their world." Dimaria said as the two began to walk around the area, unbeknownst to the threat near them.

"This will work," Kaijin said as his eyes turned emerald green before an emerald mist shrouded his body. He transformed into a large Oni Youkai before walking past the other guards and mingled among the people, while taking in their faces and seeing their smiles.

"To think that I could've been part of this joy that they are wearing on their faces now after their ancestors fought so hard to protect this land," Kaijin said as he looked ahead and saw the nine-tailed fox who not only stole his heart but also still held a piece of it within her hands.

"Yasaka..." Kaijin said in a low tone as he reached into his kimono sleeve and pulled out a small gift that was wrapped in some beautiful wrapping paper before he walked towards Yasaka and saw Kunou in her kimono as well before the young Fox princess smiled at the massive Oni in front of her and smiled.

"Hello, Oni-san. Are you enjoying the festival?" Kunou asked as Kaijin held back his tears, seeing his daughter grow up to be such a beautiful young lady.

"Why yes, your majesty. I'm grateful to see you in good health and wish to bless you with a gift." Kaijin said in his disguised voice as he handed the small box to Kunou before Yasaka investigated it to make sure there were no traps or anything. Kunou took it back and opened it to reveal a jade bracelet with Yin-Yang symbols on it as well.

"This is a special Jade bracelet that keeps away evil spirits from the wearer and brings them good fortune. I hope you have a wonderful year, Kunou-hime." Kaijin said as Kunou smiled at the thoughtful gift and bowed to him as well.

"Thank you, Oni-san. I hope you enjoy the festival and have some good fortune come your way as well." Kunou said with her bright smile as Kaijin smiled at the princess before leaving both the mother and daughter, with Yasaka looking at the bracelet in amazement before seeing how some of the most skilled hands fashioned the Jade.

"Amazing. I haven't seen this amount of skill in carving Jade since your father, Kunou." Yasaka said as Kaijin continued leaving the two alone, happy that he was able to give the gift that he wanted so dearly to his daughter when she was born but was never able to because of events beyond his control.

'I'm happy that even if I couldn't be in her life, I wanted to give her at least the gift that I made for her.' Kaijin said in his head before the massive Youkai felt someone bump into him. As he looked down to see Ravel rubbing her head.

"Ow. I am so sorry for bumping into you, sir. You are not hurt, are you?" Ravel asked as the Youkai chuckled and shook his head.

"No. No. I'm fine, but are you okay? That was some tumble you took." Kaijin said as Ravel smiled in appreciation before nodding her head.

"Yes. I apologize once again, Oni-san. Enjoy the festival!" Ravel said as she walked past him towards Issei, who apologized to her, making Kaijin feel nostalgic as he looked at the two, which reminded him of the past when both he and Yasaka were once like that.

"I wish those two good fortune that they shall be together forever. They make such a wonderful couple that bring out the best in each other." Kaijin said. As he walked away from the crowd, his eyes widened in shock as he recognized a familiar face.

'Ultear?! What is she doing here?' Kaijin said in shock as he was staring at the face of an old enemy he faced back in the other world.

Ultear walked past Kaijin's disguise, which made the Youkai let out a sigh of relief as Ultear looked back over her shoulder to see the Oni disguise before Dimaria called out to her, making the caster leave her suspicions alone for now as Kaijin left the festivities and left the faction before making sure he was far away enough for his disguise to fall as he returned to his original form.

"Thank goodness. At least I was able to see Kunou after all this time." Kaijin said before a voice broke his thoughts.

"And that's the only good thing you'll remember this night when we remove you from this world once again." The voice said as Kaijin readied his weapons. As the Shinto God Tsukiyomi appeared before him with his mirror while, Susanoo twirled his staff, summoning massive amounts of water as the clouds grew near their location.

"Ah. If it isn't two of the same Gods who labeled me a traitor to get rid of me. Tell me, how do you two sleep at night knowing you lied to not only Yasaka but to your sister as well?" Kaijin said as he summoned his Jade weapons before the Youkai of Greed prepared to face the two responsible for his banishment due to them fearing his power.

"We sleep well knowing we kept the people protected from someone like you; if you allow us to kill you, it'll be a quick and painful death," Susanoo said as he readied his staff as Tsukiyomi teased his magic before the two Shinto Gods prepared to engage in battle with their old friend, and foe as Kaijin smirked at the two and twirled his Jade swords with the chains.

"Very well then. Let's dance." Kaijin said as he was prepared to face the Shinto Gods and show them how much stronger he became during his banishment.


Scene!

Here we go!

Now, with Ezra and Brandish in the Youkai Faction, they'll reunite with Issei, along with Ultear and Dimaria reuniting with Vali. The girls will catch up with them while Kaijin shows why he was the protector of Kyoto and surpassed the Shinto Gods.

I know some will be surprised by me making Kaijin the father of Kunou, but I wanted to show that many of the Seven Deadly Sins didn't start as evil beings. They were turned into one due to the events of their past, which we shall see in the next chapter.

Kaijin is based on Kai from Kung Fu Panda, so I hope you like, follow, and leave a review on who else from Fairy Tail should appear.

Also, as for Issei's peerage, he'll reveal his Queen in the next chapter, and I will say that it's not Ingvild but someone else who's far more worthy of it since I don't hate Ingvild, but I know someone than worthy of being the Queen to the Red Dragon Emperor.

See you all next time. Ta-Ta!~
