14. Rise of The Sins!

(A/N: As I write this chapter, I realize I could have made this battle into three separate chapters. But no, I just like all of you want to reach the cannon timeline. So, I decided to have this entire conflict in one long chapter. The longest I have written as of yet. Just saying, I'm not planning on making a habit of writing chapters this long in the future. That is all, now enjoy!)

Chapter 14: Rise of The Sins!

They looked out from the window, seeing the academy in the distance getting surrounded by a barrier. The rift giving a dark purple light as more of Trigon's forces could be seen flying out from it. "This is bad… if we don't close up that rift the whole town will be destroyed within the next hour." Azazel stated eying the rift, he then contacted someone through a magic circle. "Ah yeah it's me, make sure to bring Shemanzai and don't bother asking Kokabiel. Knowing him, he would take advantage of the situation. It's all hands-on deck type of situation." Azazel ended the call with that and turned around to the young devils in the room. "All hands-on deck." Azazel smiled implying they had to help out as well.

"Very well, it is our town, we will fight for it." Itachi replied.

"Hn, let's go." Azazel opened the window and flew out, he felt a little guilty asking kids for help, but they needed all the help they could get.

"You heard him, let's go." Itachi turned to the rest.

"Yeah, we have to go anyway. Gasper is locked up in a room at the clubroom. We'll head over there first and grab him." Rias without hesitation brought out her devil bat wings and flew out the window, her peerage quickly following. Sona and her peerage went next, and Itachi's peerage members started flying out as well.

Just as Itachi was about to fly out, Raven stepped up as well. Itachi looked to her about to advise against it, seeing as she was the target. "All hands-on deck, remember? Besides, this is my responsibility for bringing this mess with me in the first place. I need to help fix it." Raven wasn't about to argue and just flew out, to which Itachi looked at her form growing distant as she flew towards the academy.

Itachi smiled a little, and quickly flew after the group at top speed. Catching up to her in no time. "Before we go in, I need to know something." Itachi said gaining Raven's attention. "Earlier when you freaked out, your powers started affecting the entire room. And it seemed it wasn't in your intention. I need to know what that was about?"

Raven looked a little hesitant at first, but knew that in order to gain their trust, and with how the situation was she couldn't leave it out. "I'm not going to brag, but I actually possess a great potential of power. However, because it is so great, it is difficult to control. My powers are based off my emotional state, and among those emotions… is a dark force of evil."

Itachi looked intrigued by this, and decided to ask. "Is this emotion your anger?"

"Well, yes… It is the part of me my father, Trigon managed to gain influence over. It is that power I'm trying to suppress. And in order to do that, and make sure that emotion doesn't come to power. I've decided the best solution, is to suppress all my emotions. If I don't, what happened in that room will happen more often, only far more destructive." Raven explained, and just like she said, she wasn't showing any sign of emotion. Neither in her facial expression or her tone of voice.

"I see… As a man whom doesn't try and show emotions that very often. I can understand how hard it is, or at least imagine how difficult it must be for you." Itachi sympathized.

"It doesn't matter." Raven brushed it off and kept focus on the goal of sealing up the rift.

Azazel was the first to enter the barrier, and immediately went on the offensive, sending a bombardment of light spears raining down on Trigon's forces. Followed by Rias and her peerage members, going straight towards the old school building. "Yuuto, secure the building. Akeno keep a lookout. Koneko retrieve Gasper. I will go on the offensive." Rias ordered as her eyes flashed red, and an aura of destruction flared around her.

""Yes, Buchou!"" Akeno, Kiba and Konko scattered. Koneko crashed straight through a window into the old school building and rushed to Gasper. Kiba gracefully landed outside of the main entrance to the building with his sword stabbed into the ground.

Sword Birth

Swords popped up all around the building, stabbing through many incoming demonic creatures restraining them. Akeno levitated over the building, forming a giant magic circle over her. Sending bolts of lightning into incoming enemy troops.

Rias flew straight towards a small squad of demonic troops, blasting them with a wave of destruction. She gracefully landed between them, charging up softball sized destructions spheres, and threw them into the demonic soldier of Trigon. One by one, they were incinerated by the power of destruction. Rias raised her right hand, charging up a wave of destruction. Only for her wrist to be grabbed by a giant fat four eyed red demonic creature. Rias struggled to break free, then a glint passed by them and the demon's arm was cut off.

The demon backed up crying out in pain, and was then met with a fist to the face by Tsubasa and slammed into the ground. The one who had cut of its arm was Tomoe. Rias looked up to see Sona looking a little smug. "Should keep your eyes open Rias, can't have my peerage looking after you the whole time."

Rias merely smiled back at her rival, showing a charged-up sphere of destruction in her left hand. "I assure you, I had everything under control. You on the other hand…" Rias threw the destruction sphere past Sona, blasting an incoming demon in the face. "… should worry about yourself." Sona still smiled and landed next to Rias going back to back, Sona creating a massive serpent water dragon while Rias formed a magic circle charging up a giant wave of destruction. They both then attacked the incoming enemy soldiers, as they were starting to get surrounded.

Trigon stood before his rift, smirking at seeing the battle having begun. Angels, Fallen Angels and Devils had come to fight Trigon and his demonic forces. "I suppose I should make things a little more challenging." Trigon turned to the rift, looking at its size. "It's not big enough for my body to pass through, but my pet on the other hand…" Trigon began chanting an incantation in a demonic language, and a roar was heard coming from the other side of the rift. Trigon while chanting, grinned as he felt his spirit body gaining more and more power from the rift. He had already reached Satan class level.

Meanwhile, Koneko kicked down a door leading to what looked to be a young girl's room. "Waah! Wh-What's going on?!" A little blond-haired girl? He was at least dressed in a girl's school uniform, and with his frail and thin figure he looked just like a girl and his voice didn't help either. His teary violet eyes looked at the intruder in confusion. "K-Koneko-chan?" Gasper questioned.

"Gaspie, we don't have time, we have to get out of here!" Koneko went to grab the little half vampire boy, only for him suddenly to be replaced by a box. "Did you use your powers again?" Koneko questioned as the box began to rustle.

"Waah! I'm sorry, I got scared! W-We're going outside, right? T-Then I want to be in the box." Gasper uttered, feeling terrified. Koneko sighed and just grabbed the box containing the crossdressing vampire, and jumped out the nearest window. She landed and was quickly met with Kiba holding off an armada of demons.

"Koneko-chan?! You got Gasper?!" Kiba asked as he cut a demon's throat open. Koneko jumped in and delivered a spin kick to one of the demons.

"Right here." Koneko nodded towards the box that rustled a little bit.

"Waah… what's going on? I'm scared." Gasper muttered from within the box.

"Long story short, the academy has been invaded by big scary demons." Koneko replied and kicked another demon away.

"Waah! Are they going to eat me?!" Gasper asked, honestly terrified.

"Probably." Koneko bluntly replied causing the half vampire to wail in terror.

"K-Koneko-chan… now is not the time to tease Gasper…" Kiba sweat dropped as he used Sword Birth to restrain more demons.

Itachi's peerage then entered the fray, Jack was the first to jump down creating ten different daggers around her, and sent them flying down into the heads of the demons. To which they screamed in pain and were vaporized by a holy like aura. "Rebellion, Holy Daggers." Jack uttered, and quickly an armada of demons started to surround her.

A blue light of fire then moved swiftly in between them, and the blue fire ignited around their bodies making them scream in pain. Kuroka appeared with blue flames generated from her hands. "Wonder if these guys regenerate as well? Nya?" Kuroka looked to the demons to see more coming out from their shadows. "That's a yes. Nya."

While flying above them, was Eto in her kakuja unleashing a bombardment of crystal red like projectiles raining down onto the demons. Her kakuja landed amongst a large group, and started sinking its jaw into the biggest one she saw, splattering its blood. "Hmm, taste is kinda like what a barbecue would smell like…" Eto hummed and kept swatting away at the demons like they were flies.

Then around the gym, various demons were wrapped up in strings. Digging into their flesh, squirting their dark blood out, as their entire bodies were squished to piles of rotten flesh. In the center of all this stood Damian in his serious state, twitching his finger tips to increase the grip of the strings. Yet more demons started to appear around him. "My, oh my, this is going to be tiresome. Huh?" Damian raised his brow seeing multiple red demons being sent flying around, it was as if something just drove right through their armada.

Swinging his mighty war hammer around like a Bo staff, swatting away the next demon after the next. Bob let out a tired sigh as he pummeled through a wave of Trigon's army. Jumping into the mid center, delivering a powerful kick right into one's jaw sending him flying across the field. He moved with such intensity and force, that even an army of these demons could barely keep up. A giant red muscular demon threw a punch at the mighty Bob, whom with ease caught it, and returned the favor in a right hook punching the demon's very head off.

As more demons begun surrounding him, limiting his space. Bob threw his left hand behind his back, and took a giant leap into the sky. He then turned his body around in midair, and swung his palm towards the demon army.

Grizzly Claw!

The mere force of Bob swinging his palm forward, sent a giant shockwave that shredded through the demons it hit, and blew the rest away. The impact was strong enough to create a giant crater, Bob then raised his hammer, and came raining down onto one poor demon whom got his head squashed by the hammer.

A brilliant wave of light then shines within the barrier, as Gabriel and Michael release such strong waves of holy light that many of Trigon's forces are reduced to ashes. The Arch Angel Duo lands before the Lord of Purgatory. "Trigon, this is your final warning. Return to Purgatory at once!" Michael strongly ordered to which the Lord of Purgatory gave a chuckle.

"Good luck, I have almost reached the standard level for a Super Devil. The two of you are welcome to try though." Trigon challenges.

"Your evil cannot be allowed to remain in this world. We will force you back if we must." Gabriel declared as she threw a light spear at Trigon, although the light spear was swatted away by a giant black scaled tail coming from the rift.

The two angels gasped and took a giant leap back as they saw black scaled claws sticking out from the rift. Something was trying to push its way out. "Allow me to introduce you to my pet. The Hydra." Trigon smirked as next came three black dragon-like heads, with giant red sharp teeth, and red eyes. Each head had a giant red horn sticking out from their snouts. It pushed its giant body through and spread its majestic wings. Its body looked to be armored with spikes around its shoulders, and back. It had three tail swinging around from its lower back, matching the number of heads. "Go and fetch Raven for me." Trigon looked to the beast, and all three heads roared at once, spread its wings and took flight. "Now then, over a thousand soldiers, my pet, yes my chances of winning seem pretty good right about now." Trigon's eyes began to glow.

"Don't be so certain." Sirzechs, Ajuka, Falbium and Serafall all landed on the spot. Followed by Azazel and two other Fallen Angels Shemanzai and Barakiel. Shemanzai had the appearance of a young handsome man with silver hair and purple eyes. His outfit consisted of a purple beret hat, purple trench coat over a black vest, white pants and black boots. Barakiel had the appearance of a muscular gruffy looking man with short black hair and a beard. Holy lighting flickered from his body, similar to that of Akeno.

"Well, well, the major faction leaders are here. Although I must admit, it was sooner than I expected." Trigon didn't look pleased at seeing Sirzechs, he wasn't pleased with seeing all of them around him like this. They could really spoil his plans, and he knew there was no way he could take them all on at once in his current state. But he had other options.

He didn't need the rift, he needed Raven. The rift is meant to serve as a distraction for the Faction leaders while he hunts for Raven. True, if they sealed it, he would lose control over his spirit body and be stuck in Purgatory. But even with all of them, closing up a rift of time and space between realms was no easy task. Trigon estimated he would have about a little over an hour before they close the rift. He was more than enough confident that he would manage to capture Raven in time. Then he would be able to release his real body upon this world regardless. It was a gamble, true, but it was one he was willing to take.

Trigon just needed to get away from them first, leaving them with the rift while he hunted for Raven. "Come then." Trigon challenged, and the first to attack was Barakiel with a stream of holy lighting. Trigon with a mere flick of his finger created a giant wall of fire to negate the lighting. "See you guys later, have fun closing up the rift. If even just one of you tries to leave it, my body will be supplied with more power dooming you all even further." Trigon gave a dark chuckle and once the flames were frozen by Serafall, Trigon was gone, having gone off to the battlefield.

"… We have to hurry, everyone gather in a circle and begin closing the rift." Sirzechs ordered, having faith that his little sister, Sona and Itachi-kun with their peerage members would be able to distract Trigon long enough. Yet it still left a bitter taste in his mouth. They all did as they were told and began chanting an incantation, surrounding the rift itself within a bobble of their individual power.

"Behemoth, Esdeath, I trust you to keep Trigon occupied." Serafall spoke through a magic circle to her most trusted peerage members, Sirzechs upon hearing this looked a little more at ease. Even though they could feel Trigon's spirit body had reached the same level of power as Serafall herself. It was a race against time, would Trigon get to Raven first? Or will they manage to close up the rift first sending Trigon back to Purgatory?

Meanwhile, flying over a horde of Trigon's forces was a giant eagle. And in its claws, it held the muscular arms of Harry Newgate. This eagle was Harry's familiar, with its wind abilities it can increase the intensity of Harry's fire. Harry looks down, waiting for the right moment when they were in a perfect angle over the horde. Harry smirked and looked up at his eagle. "Tango, drop the A bomb." Harry smirked having nicknamed his eagle Tango.

Tango releases Harry from his grasps, and Harry uses the power of his Sacred Gear to engulf his entire body in a blazing inferno. Harry's burning body plummets towards the horde like a rocket, and the moment he lands onto the ground. The fire expands and explodes into a mushroom fire cloud. The fire vaporized a good portion of the demon horde, and Harry got up and looked around him. Surrounded by an entire army, he bent his head sideways a bit and cracked his knuckles. "Now, who's first?"

Battles were being fought all around the academy, that would without a doubt crumble down to nothing by the end of it. An army of demonic creatures battling devils, angels and fallen angels. The Faction leaders trying to seal of the rift to send these creatures' leader back home. A three headed Hydra standing tall, before Kuroka, Jack, Damian, Eto, and Rias with Sona by her side and the rest of their peerage members behind them.

The Hydra let out a powerful roar and opened its massive jaws, gathering energy of darkness to create dark lighting spheres. Each head spat out one energy sphere after the other, and kept charging up more to bombard the group. Damian swiftly moved his arms at such blurring speed, and before they knew it a net of strings was formed over them catching the spheres.

Damian grunted as the bombardment from the Hydra didn't end, leaving a heavy strain on his body. "Hurry! I won't be able to hold these blasts back forever!" He warned the group, whom all swiftly made their next move.

Kuroka took a deep breath and her eyes flashed in a yellow glow. "Youjutsu, Poison Mist!" A thick strange mist started appearing around the Hydra. As the Hydra breathed the mist in, its moves began to look more sluggish as the effects of the mist began restraining its body. "Jack, Eto, do your thing."

Jack flew in the air over the Hydra, forming a giant portal in the sky above it. "Rebellion." Jack lowered her hand a little, and down over the Hydra rained down a seemingly endless number of blades. The Hydra howled as the blades managed to cut through its black scales. Eto with her kakuja flew above it like a vulture, circling its prey. Eto gave a sickening childish laughter as she shot out a multi barrage of red crystal-like projectiles merged with some demonic fire.

"Those demons earlier were kinda spicy." Eto commented, having increased the power of her kagune by eating some of Trigon's henchmen. The Hydra lowered its heads, looking like it circled its body into a ball, with its wings acting like a shield.

The Hydra then spread its wings out and let out a mighty roar, the force of the roar sent such shockwaves that the mist blew away. The Hydra blasted Eto out from the sky and swatted Jack away like a fly with its claws. Jack landed with her back into the ground, spitting out blood from the impact. While Eto landed and dragged up the ground, making the scene look like an airplane had just crashed.

The Hydra then charged into Damian's strings, pushing through while roaring. "Ugh! Those damn scales, my string can't dig through them!" Damian grunted trying to restrain the beast. The Hydra's middle head pushed through, and opened its massive jaws ready to devour Kuroka and Damian. Although then a wave of destruction blasted into the beast's jaw, going down its throat. The Hydra's middle head fell backwards, and smoke came out from its mouth. The other two heads charged up energy spheres, although a bolt of lightning and a wave of water struck the spheres, as Akeno and Sona joined in.

"Buchou!" Kiba called out as from behind them charged an army of Trigon's henchmen.

"Yuuto! Koneko! Assist Sona's peerage members in dealing with them! The rest of us will take on the Hydra!" Rias ordered, and her knight and rook didn't hesitate. And charged with Sona's peerage members at the incoming demon army.

Eto managed to pick herself up, her kakuja slowly recovering from the damage of the blast. And Jack picked herself up as well, dragging her sharp blades against the ground. They jumped over to Damian, Kuroka, Rias, Sona and Akeno. They each readied an attack, and charged straight at the roaring beast.

Meanwhile, a group of fallen angels were incinerated by a wave of fire. The angels in the sky were cut down by waves of wind, and the devils struck with lighting raining down from the sky. And in the center of all of this stood Trigon, looking at the scenery taking it all in, taking in a deep breath of the smell of burnt corpses and blood. "Ah, it's been so long since I got to go on a killing spree. Everything in Purgatory is already destroyed and dead. It's no fun down there anymore… soon I will have a whole new playground." Trigon smirked at the thought of a burning Earth.

Trigon's smirk vanished however, as walls of ice surrounded him and the earth beneath him began to move. Stone spikes stuck out from the ground, piercing Trigon's body. A magic circle formed beneath him, and out came a giant ice dragon eating the Lord of Purgatory as it flew up over the academy. A strange glow then spread from the ice dragon's body, and it began to melt. The entire dragon melted away, and the water from it evaporated from the heat. The stone spikes had crumbled into dust, and a fiery figure landed in the center of the ice arena.

Trigon stood tall, unharmed. His skin now red and his hair white, he had four yellow glowing eyes and horns sticking out from the side of his head. The heat released from his body began melting the ice walls as well. "Well, not bad. As I would expect from one whom calls himself Lord of Purgatory." Esdeath tipped her hat greeting Trigon with a smirk.

"This is as far as you go." Trigon peeked behind him and saw the old man Behemoth. The old man grew in size a little, and the sleeves on his shirt exploded as his arms became bulkier and more muscular. His gray silver hair turned black, and black spots grew around his now muscular body. He grew out eight devil bat wings from his back and his eyes turned black with his pupils being red. His teeth turned into sharp fangs and his skin darkened into a more grayish color.

"Oh? The Earth King Behemoth… and Levithan's other little pet. How admirable of you to volunteer, to be my next victims." Trigon gave a devilish smirk as his four eyes gave a powerful threatening yellow glow.

Esdeath smirked with glee, her eyes filled with the lust for battle. Just itching for the fight to begin. "I haven't had a good challenge since Lady Serafall… and Grayfia. Be sure to entertain me!" Esdeath had a giant geyser of ice erupt beneath Trigon, yet the ice began melting upon contact with the Lord of Purgatory.

"Hmm, soothing." Trigon mocked barely feeling anything, Esdeath at blinding speed jumped him and delivered a spin kick to his cheek. The force of her kick made Trigon take a step back, and he was then grabbed in a hold by the massive arms of Behemoth. "How impudent." Trigon unleashed a wave of fire around his body, yet the flames seemed to barely hurt Behemoth whom merely tightened his grip.

"Nice one, Behemoth!" Esdeath leaped at Trigon, a sword in hand, and swung it at his neck. Trigon flinched as the blade cut through him, scratching him a little.

"Esdeath, increase the power in your ice attacks! Otherwise you won't be able to hurt him!" Behemoth declared, still holding tightly onto Trigon.

"Heh, like you need to tell me how to fight." Esdeath laughed like it was a joke, as the black tattoo symbol on her chest began to spread around her body like wildfire. 'My Teigu… or rather my Sacred Gear. Has only begun showing what it can do.' Esdeath entered a new level of power, and the density of her ice increased as she stabbed Trigon with an ice dagger. The ice dagger then exploded within his body, and ice crystals popped out from him. Behemoth jumped back and clapped his hands together, as the ground bellow Trigon split open, and swung up in an attempt to squash him.

The two elite peerage members of Serafall jumped back as they heard the sound of clapping. Trigon walked out from the dust cloud left from Behemoth's attack. "Not too shabby there, as expected of two Satan class level fighters. Still… I think it is time we skip the warm up and really get started." Trigon stood tall, not a scratch on his spirit body. While as Behemoth looked wary of the Lord of Purgatory, his companion Esdeath smiled with a crazed glee, while her pupils shrank glaring at Trigon with a lusting gaze for battle.

Esdeath didn't waste a single moment and jumped at Trigon with her sword raised. Esdeath moved at incredible speed, and yet Trigon dodged her attacks like they were nothing. Trigon then attempted to grab her, yet the ice general slipped underneath his grasp and clapped his shoulder with her left hand. Causing Trigon's body to freeze in a block of ice.

"Heh." Esdeath smiled as the glove on her left hand burnt away from having touched Trigon. Revealing that Esdeath's left arm was made out of ice, having lost her arm a long time ago. Esdeath merely watched as the ice around Trigon's body began to melt. "Come on, come on!" Esdeath spoke like an impatient child wanting candy, only for her she wanted to fight. Once the ice had fully melted from Trigon's body, he glanced over at Esdeath.

Esdeath then speed towards Trigon, delivering a powerful kick to his chin. Esdeath then jumped up with her leg raised up a little. She smirked with a malicious look in her eyes, as she slammed her heel into Trigon's upper right eye. "Argh!" Trigon hissed and grabbed onto Esdeath's ankle, and started swinging her around like a ragdoll. Sending her body swinging down into the ground again, and again. Blood squirted out from his upper right eye, although then a fire started burning out from his eye socket. And once the flames died down his eye was healed and back to normal.

"How fun." Esdeath gave a devilish smirk, and Trigon returned it with a devilish grin.

"You are quite the demonic woman, hard to believe you are only a mere reincarnate. Esdeath, was it? You have earned a bit of my respect." Trigon's eyes glowed, and out came laser beams blasting into Esdeath. Her body was sent flying into the ground, digging it up as the blast kept pushing her. However, the beams were held off as a wall of earth popped up between Esdeath and the beams.

Behemoth stood before Esdeath, his right arm stretched out with his giant fist clenched. He then opened his hand sending a surge of energy into the ground. "Scatter." Behemoth uttered, as the entire ground surrounding Trigon exploded into spikes. "Iron maiden." Behemoth then clapped his hands together, and the spiky ground slammed together into Trigon. "Esdeath, quickly attack him!"

"Damn geezer, spoiling my fun." Esdeath mumbled as she picked herself up, she then raised her sword high into the heavens. And surrounding the earth dome containing Trigon, thousands of ice swords were formed floating in midair. Esdeath then lowered her sword and directed the tip towards the dome. To which the swords flew stabbing into the dome, and into Trigon. "And now the finishing touches." Esdeath flicked her fingers, to which a giant ice meteorite formed in the sky above.

Both Esdeath and Behemoth took a leap back, and Behemoth also gave a flick of his fingers creating a second meteorite over the ice one. And they both plummeted down onto the earth dome containing Trigon. The impact of the meteorites could be heard and felt for miles.

Normal humans in their homes turned on their lights and many looked out their windows. "What is that?"

"An earthquake?" The humans questioned, looking towards Kuoh Academy which looked completely fine. The barrier acted also as an illusion to humans so they couldn't see what was going on inside. After not seeing anything, many just went back to sleep while unknown to them, a battle that would determine the fate of the world was taking place in their neighborhood.

While back within the academy, Esdeath and Behemoth looked at the rubble mixed with earth and ice trying to locate the Lord of Purgatory. Then suddenly, the wind started to get stronger around them. "What now?" Behemoth questioned, and raised his brow seeing the rubble beginning to move. Before they even could realize what happened, the rubble exploded from a giant whirlwind of darkness. And the rubble of earth and ice blasted into them, as the wind also started to pull them in.

Esdeath and Behemoth widened their eyes as they were sent flying towards the whirlwind. And once they clashed into it, they both screamed as their bodies felt like were being ripped to shreds. Trigon stood tall in the center of the whirlwind, unharmed from the looks of it. "Not bad, that combo attack of yours really did sting." Trigon mocked them as their screams of anguish and pain was like music to his ears.

"Argh!" Esdeath gritted her teeth, and slammed her ice arm into the whirlwind, sending a blizzard wave of ice into it. Her ice arm was torn apart bit by bit, yet the whirlwind looked like it was beginning to freeze into ice. Yet Trigon remained calm, and merely gave a blow with his lips increasing the intensity of the whirlwind ripping the ice apart as well as sending Esdeath and Behemoth flying.

Esdeath coughed up blood from the impact of her back hitting the ground. Her ice arm also gone, having been completely destroyed revealing her stump. Her and Behemoth were covered in cuts from the whirlwind. Before they could take a breather however, the whirlwind pulled them back in.

Behemoth raised his fist as they were dragged towards the whirlwind. He then attempted to punch through the whirlwind, yet the intensity of the wind ripped through his skin and flesh. The old man grunted in pain as his arm was getting torn apart, yet he still tried to push his fist through. Trigon stood there with his arms crossed, smiling as he looked at Behemoth's fist slowly getting pushed towards him. Even as the fist was mere inches away from his face, Trigon still looked unfazed.

"Fool, resistance is futile." Trigon chuckled as he lifted up his index finger a bit, sending bolts of lightning raining onto Behemoth from the sky. Behemoth roared like a lion in pain, he gritted his teeth and kept pushing his fist through.

"Even so! I cannot let you succeed! If it means my body will be torn apart, so be it! If it means I can protect the young master! I will do what I must regardless!" Behemoth gave one final push, and punched Trigon right in the face. Trigon backed up a bit, despite the storm restricting Behemoth that punch still packed some power behind it. Trigon shook his head, shaking off the pain. And the storm reacted from its casters pain sending both of Serafall's elite soldiers flying back once again.

Esdeath panted and looked in disbelief. 'Behemoth could barely get through that storm despite being in his true form?' Esdeath's look of disbelief turned into a smirk as she gave a chuckle. 'Heh, as expected of Trigon… a true monster even to the supernatural world.' Despite knowing she couldn't win. It had become quite obvious to her and Esdeath was no fool. Yet, that didn't stop her blood from boiling with excitement of fighting this kind of an opponent. "This is like when I met Lady Serafall all over again…. The rush, the adrenaline, the challenge! This is what it should be like, a fight for survival of the fittest!" Esdeath charged at Trigon with a wide crazed grin spread across her face.

Despite the whirlwind, Esdeath showed no fear. She was a force of nature herself after all. And then she utilized her final attack, the whole space around them had frozen in time. To which Esdeath, with ease moved through the whirlwind and bombarded Trigon's frozen body with giant ice crystals. And with a mere flick of her fingers created an army of ice soldiers, that all stabbed Trigon's frozen body. And finally, as a finishing touch she cut his throat open with her sword. She then appeared on the other side of the whirlwind and time began moving once again.

Blood squirted out from all over Trigon's body, causing him to undo the whirlwind storm. He backed up a bit, with a surprised look on his face. He peeked behind him and saw Esdeath, then his neck opened and it looked like his head was about to fall off. Despite these injuries, Trigon just laughed. "I see, you had the ability to freeze time. Shame, that you don't have anything in your arsenal able to destroy my body. Otherwise, you cannot defeat me!"

Esdeath stared in disbelief, as a wave of darkness healed Trigon's injuries, making it look like nothing had happened. "No way…"

"If only you could make others move when you freeze time… we could have ended this together." Behemoth growled as Trigon stood there mocking their attempts.

Volcano!

Behemoth raised his right hand into the air, and the ground beneath Trigon exploded with magma. Yet Trigon merely walked through it, his demon form being too much for them to deal with. "Fools, time to die." Trigon gave them a malicious filled smirk.

Meanwhile, Rias, Sona, Kuroka and the gang were surrounded by the Hydra beast, and by hundreds of soldiers from Trigon's army. They tried their best to hold each side at bay, yet it proved to be quite futile as it didn't take long for them to be boxed in. Kuorka, Jack, Damian, Eto, Rias and her peerage members, Sona and her peerage members, all standing back to back in a circle. The sheer power of the Hydra, and the spawning factor for Trigon's forces proved to be too much for them. If just the Hydra or the army were distracted, they could focus on one side, and easily take their obstacle down.

Their group as they were now could probably defeat the Hydra and the forces of Trigon, but it wouldn't be without cost and some of them would without a doubt perish. "What do we do? No matter how I think this situation through, it always ends up with some of us dead!" Rias clenched her fists in frustration, not wanting to lose any of their friends.

"Same here, no matter what calculation I take into account for. This doesn't look good for us…" Sona, send a wave of water daggers flying through ten of Trigon's soldiers, yet they just respawned from their own shadow.

"Well one of you would most likely be the ones to die." Eto pointed out looking at Rias and Sona's peerage members. Which earned her a few glares, that she merely shrugged off. "Nothing personal. Just thinking about it logical. I mean, you two have peerage members that are mid-class or low-class level. While we are all at or above high-class." Eto stated, and she wasn't wrong, without a doubt Itachi's peerage members were the stronger ones out of the bunch. Heck all except for Eto and maybe Kuroka were stronger than Rias and Sona.

"Eto, this might not be the time." Kuroka scolded and restrained a few of Trigon's forces with her poisonous mist.

"But there might not be a time later." Eto jokingly said, her dark sense of humor was still something the group hadn't gotten used to.

"Ugh! I will keep the Hydra occupied, the rest of you take on the demon army!" Damian declared holding the Hydra back with his strings.

"But if we do that, you will die." Jack pointed out, it being obvious to anyone that if Damian took on that monster alone, he would die doing so.

"You can't be sure. I will think of something!" Damian promoted himself into a queen and got ready for battle, the Hydra's claw got through his strings and went straight for him. But before it could reach, it was stopped. Damian widened his eyes seeing a big bulky muscular figure standing before them. "Bob?"

"Promotion Rook!" Bob held the Hydra's claw back with just one hand. "I will take care of this monster… you all focus on those hundreds of demons."

"Bob… thank you." Tsubasa uttered, with a faint blush seeing this display of strength.

"Don't thank me, by coming here I brought with me more of those soldiers. But this way, we might have a chance, right?" Bob looked to Sona or Rias for the answer, the two of them being the tacticians of the group.

"I think so…" Rias replied not sure.

"Hmm, we should manage." Eto said as she looked out at the vast ocean of demons. "With these numbers, and with some of our abilities. We have about a 52% chance of pulling this off without losing anyone in our own group." Eto analyzed to which some of them looked surprised. "What? I used to lead a terrorist organization. I have tactic skills."

"Huh, she's right." Sona looked out on the number of demons, and realized that it was true. Now they had a chance to win without losing anyone in their group.

"Good!" Bob smiled, while the Hydra pushed its claw down by adding its body weight. Bob managed to avoid the claw by jumping in between the gap of two claws. And rammed his fist in an upper cut punch to the middle head of the Hydra. The impact was so strong that the Hydra almost fell onto its back. "Now! Come forth my familiar! Kuma!" Bob declared, to which a magic circle formed on the ground, and out jumped a gigantic armored grizzly bear rivaling the Hydra in size. The bear and the Hydra roared at each other, and Bob jumped onto his familiars head ready to begin the battle.

The Hydra clashed into the giant armored grizzly bear, and the bear responded by swinging its claw down onto the Hydra's shoulder, while latching his jaw onto the left heads neck. The Hydra roared as the other two heads sank their sharp fangs into its thick neck. "Keep him pinned down, Kuma!" Bob summoned forth his war hammer, and ran towards the two heads biting into Kuma. Bob swung his hammer into the middle head, sending it flying into the right head, releasing their grip on Kuma in the process.

Bob pulled his arm back, gathering up a lot of power into his arm. "How's this?!" Bob swung his palm towards the Hydra, at such speed and intensity that it created a massive shockwave of power. "Grizzly Claw!" The Hydra's two heads flew sideway, having their very breath knocked out of them. They were sent flying at such force, for a second it looked like the two heads would come clean off. "Guess it ain't going to be that easy, huh?"

The Hydra roared at Bob, as the two heads charged up energy blasts between their jaws. "Ah shit." Bob readied his war hammer, and the bombardment began. The Hydra kept blasting energy blasts towards Bob and Kuma. Bob deflected most of the energy blasts with his war hammer. Yet Kuma wasn't so lucky, Bob tried his best yet some blasts got through and hit Kuma.

For each blast, the giant bear weakened as the damage dealt from the blasts seemed too great. Yet Kuma could not move, needing to restrain the left head. Kuma attempted to bite through the left head's neck and kill it. Although the thick hard scales surrounding the neck didn't make it that easy. The Hydra then moved its claw, grabbing Kuma in a strangle hold, while trying to push him off.

Bob kept moving at blinding speed, his movements seeming like mere blurs as he deflected blast after blast. He mostly aimed for having the Hydra's blasts hit another blast, or hit the Hydra itself. He at least managed to keep the blasts away from his friends battling Trigon's army. 'Dammit! Need to find an opening! An opening!' Bob thought, his eyes scanning for any opening where he could take a break from deflecting all these energy blasts, and land a blow at the Hydra. Yet it seemed nearly impossible, as it merely took each of the Hydra heads a second or two to charge up new blast attacks.

This made Bob wonder how difficult it would have been with all three heads blasting him at once. "Hey! Bob!" Damian quickly took a break from fighting Trigon's army, seeing his comrade struggle. The second pawn of Itachi, made a net of his strings blocking out multiple of the energy blasts making it easier for Bob.

"Thanks!" Bob leaped towards an incoming energy blast, and swung his hammer into it. His body doing a 360 turn, with the energy blast still being pushed by the war hammer. The dark purple glow and aura leaked from the blast along with dark bolts of lightning. "And! Homerun!" Bob gave one powerful swing with the war hammer, sending the energy blast flying into the current charging blast within the right heads mouth. The blasts collided causing a chain reaction of explosions around the right Hydra head. With that out of the way, Damian was forced to redirected his focus back to Trigon's forces.

The Hydra growled, its eyes glowing dangerously in a purple glint. Its three tails swing into Kuma's gut causing the giant bear to release the left head of the Hydra. To which it began blasting Kuma with energy blasts. Bob leaped at the left head and threw a powerful punch into its cheek, sending it crashing into the middle head, whom in return crashed into the right.

The Hydra quickly recovered, and the left head charged at Bob, piercing its long horn from the snout, straight into Bob's gut. Bob widened his eyes as he spitted out blood, as a tiny part of the horn stuck out from his back. The only reason it hadn't gone further was that Bob had grabbed onto it. Bob vomited out a puddle of blood onto the horn, dripping it onto the Hydra.

"I ain't done… yet!" Bob gathered a powerful aura into his left hand, and gave a karate chop to the horn breaking it in half. Bob jumped back, and pulled the horn out. He held the horn and flew back at the Hydra, stabbing half of the left heads horn into its jaw. The left head roared in pain, and shook violently to shake Bob off.

And so it did, the left head gave on more swing and Bob let go of the broken horn and was sent flying into the air. Where the middle head of the Hydra awaited, its massive jaw open, with trails of drool connected to some of the fangs. Bob widened his eyes as the middle head slammed its jaw shut on Bob.

"Bob!" Tsubasa screamed in horror, and everyone else gasped as well as Bob seemed to have been eaten.

The middle head then began twitching, as slowly its jaw was forced back open. Beginning to come into view from within the mouth of the beast was Bob. Kneeling his body, with his hands latched onto the upper jaw, while he pushed the lower jaw down with his legs. "Make me your night snack will ya? I will teach you…! What happens, when you underestimate me!" Bob successfully forced its jaw open, standing there tall, droll dripping onto his body, and some scratch marks from the Hydra's fangs on his arms, back and legs. Veins bulging around his arms as he struggled holding the jaw up.

Before the other two heads could react, Kuma showed up and slapped the left one with his claw, and the right one as well. The Hydra pushed its claw up against Kuma's, making it resemble a sumo standoff. The three heads then begin charging up blast attacks, with Bob still in the middle heads jaw. He could feel the scorching heat of the blast tickling up against his back. Soon it felt like his body had fallen into a fire.

Bob took a few deep breaths, and jumped out from its jaws before they slammed shut. Bob grabbed onto his war hammer and began deflecting a blast attack, although the blast hit just right enough to knock the hammer out from Bob's hand. "Oh crap…" Bob uttered as he and his familiar were bombarded with blast attacks. Kuma however, shielded Bob from the attacks. "Good boy, don't worry, you get to rest after this. Just hold on for a few more seconds." Bob comforted his familiar as the blasts started burning through its armor.

"Alright then!" Bob rushed out from hiding, and flew straight towards the Hydra. He slammed himself into its chest in a shoulder charge, pushing the giant beast back. "Kuma! You may leave!" Bob said as he jumped up delivering an upper cut to the middle head, then a right hook to the left head, and a spin kick to the right head. The giant grizzly bear did as it was told and vanished through a magic circle. "Come on then." Bob stared at the Hydra and all three heads shot one blast attack into Bob, and the titan of a warrior fell plummeting into the ground like a flaming meteor

Bob crawled out from the crater left from the impact, only to be met with three tails swinging into his gut. This impact made the giant Bob lose his breath. He was sent flying and before he could catch his breath, he was slammed back into the ground by the Hydra's claw. "Damn it all…" Bob picked himself back up, panting, blood dripping from his lips staining his chin in blood. His arms bleeding from cuts, teeth marks on his back. "Come on then, stupid beast. I'm still standing here!" Bob aggravated the Hydra, to which all three heads let out a snarl.

The middle Hydra head came flying towards Bob, ready to attempt to devour him a second time. Bob merely stepped to the side, and latched his hands around the thick neck of the Hydra. Bob was first sent flying back along with the middle head, although then he planted his feet into the ground, digging them deeply in. He skidded backwards while holding onto the Hydra's neck. "AAAARRRGGGGHHHH!" Bob gave one good war cry and managed to stop, while holding the middle head in check.

Seeing the Hydra in this position, gave the former boxer an idea. He smiled with glee as he put every ounce of power in his muscles to hold the Hydra still. "Hey, how much do you weigh big guy?" Bob asked, to which he got a roar from the Hydra as a sign of reply. "You know, back when I was still human. And in this very form, I managed to bench-press a locomotive without breaking a sweat."

Bob further tightened his grip on the wild savage beast that was the Hydra. "Let's see… what I can do at full strength now, as a devil!" Bob turned his body a bit, still holding onto the Hydra's neck, he stretched his right leg back and bent forward to his left knee. Veins bulging all around his muscular body, as he let out a war cry while pulling the Hydra. "Promotion Queen!" A powerful blue aura flared like wild fire around Bob. Sweat poured down from Bob's forehead, craters formed beneath his feet, and then he gave one more war cry. "ARRRGGGHHH!" Suddenly, the Hydra's legs were lifted off from the ground. The Hydra itself looked shocked as Bob threw this gigantic three headed dragon over his shoulder and smashing into the main school building. The building mostly collapsed from the Hydra, whom now laid on its back.

Bob took a giant leap into the sky, his right hand pulled behind his back. "Your stomach is one of your weak spots, yeah? Then this should end it!" Bob gathered a powerful aura into his right palm, and slammed it forward.

Grizzly Claw!

A giant shockwave of power, was sent flying towards the Hydra. The end of the shockwave looking like the head of a grizzly bear. The shockwave clashed into the Hydra's gut. The Hydra's eyes bulged out a little all three heads gasped at the powerful impact. Although it didn't end there, Bob raised his fist, and plummeted down like a meteor and slammed his fist straight into the center of the Hydra's chest.

Bob panted as he looked at the Hydra, knocked down onto the ground. Bob could feel he didn't have that much time left in his 23-hour form. Which made him look all the more worried, as the Hydra managed to rise back up giving a mighty roar and pushing him off from its chest. "You've got to be kidding." Bob glared at the beast.

"Hydra's are known for their defensive abilities. Their scales shield them and absorbs a lot of the damage from an attack. Which gives the Hydra an exceptional amount of stamina and endurance to fight." Bob looked up and saw Raven flying down onto the battle. The moment the Hydra spotted her, all three heads roared having found their target.

"Get out of here! That thing is after you!" Bob warned Raven, whom remained calm and not bothered.

"I am aware." Raven replied with a stoic face.

"Then go! I can beat him, you don't have to-"

"Although you are stronger than the Hydra, are you sure you can outlast it?" Raven cut off Bob from speaking, and he looked down knowing he was on a race against time before he would deflate to his petite self.

"Hydra's have strong bodies, although their minds are weak. So, attacking its mind is the key to defeating it." Raven explained and her eyes glowed, the Hydra's left head went in for the attack although was prevented by a wall of darkness. The right head tried to blast Raven, although the blast was negated by a second wall of darkness. The middle head opened its massive jaws and went in for the kill, yet was blocked by a wall of darkness. It didn't take long until the entire Hydra was trapped within a sphere of dark energy.

Raven gently placed her palm onto the wall, where the middle head was on the other side. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos." Raven began chanting as she infiltrated the Hydra's mind, hypnotizing it as all three heads started to look confused. And its body began moving strangely, to which Raven backed away from the sphere and went into a meditating position.

The Hydra roared as it was trapped within Raven's dark energy sphere, banging its three heads up against the sphere to no avail. While Raven sat in a meditating position while floating in midair, her body radiating in a chilling dark aura. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos." Raven kept repeating those three words in a chant, these words seemed to calm the Hydra down a bit.

The beast started to look groggy as its strikes on the sphere's walls got weaker. It was almost like it had been drugged and was passing out. The roars started sounding more like whimpers, as it rolled into a ball and fell asleep. "Wow…" The beaten and battered Bob uttered, and everyone else looked stunned at how easy it was for Raven to subdue the beast when they all struggled against it.

Raven then opened her eyes, glowing in a white light and raised her hands. And beneath the sphere containing the Hydra, formed a dark portal of some kind. The sphere with the snoring Hydra sank into it, and then closed itself up. Raven's aura then vanished and she fell back to the ground panting, clearly having used a lot of energy to calm the Hydra. "Where did you send it?" Bob asked.

"To a pocket dimension… we'll find a way to deal with it once Trigon has been defeated." Raven replied, breathing a little heavier, she picked herself back up and floated in midair.

Back to Trigon, Esdeath and Behemoth. Trigon towered over Esdeath and Behemoth, both broken, battered and beaten. Esdeath's right leg was broken. Her uniform was stained in blood, and mostly shredded. Behemoth's right arm looked like it had been eaten on by some wild animal. And his body was covered in cuts and burn marks, the Earth King couldn't even get up as Trigon's foot slammed into his back pinning him down. "This has been fun, but now I'm bored." Trigon smirked as he held out his right hand that charged up a red energy blast. Esdeath and Behemoth could only look up in agony, unable to escape this blast. Esdeath let out a sigh having accepted that she had met her match.

"Only the strong… will survive." Esdeath uttered, closing her eyes while remaining calm.

Water Dragon!

Suddenly a massive splash of water at the shape of a dragon, crashed into Trigon, the force of the water strong enough to push him off of Behemoth. Trigon gritted his teeth in annoyance, and widened his eyes as his demonic body released an intense heat wave. Vaporizing the water dragon into nothing, Trigon was surrounded by a cloud of steam, and the next moment a cut appeared across his torso.

Blood squirted out from Trigon, making him back up with a surprised look on his face. "Who are you?" Trigon looked at the new figure that had jumped in between them.

The steam cleared up, revealing the young Sitri heir, Itachi. "I am Itachi Sitri, the next heir to the Sitri household. And you, are trespassing on my territory."

Behemoth and Esdeath stared up in shock, as Itachi stood between them and Trigon. "Y-Young master… no, get away from here." Behemoth pleaded, while reaching his hand out while looking at Itachi's back.

"I can still fight, there is no need for you to-" Esdeath recreated her left ice arm, struggling to pick herself up.

"Esdeath, even if you love battle, I'm not going to let you fight when you can barely stand." Itachi glared at the overconfident Trigon, smirking at him while crossing his arms, and reverted back to his human form feeling like he didn't have to waste energy on Itachi.

"But, young master, you don't stand a chance against him!" Behemoth warned.

"I am aware… but I can still keep him occupied. Perhaps long enough for nee-san and the others to close up the rift." Itachi activated his sharingan, and went into a fighting stance. He took a deep breath while focusing on his energy, as he activated touki, his life energy flaring like a flame surrounding his body. He also formed a magic circle in his palm, summoning forth his crow familiar. "Scatter…" Itachi uttered and the crow flew into the air, and several others followed out from the magic circle.

"Oh? For a mere child, you are quite gifted." Trigon clapped his hands mockingly at Itachi. Itachi was going all-out from the very start, knowing what he was up against there was no need to hold back.

Itachi leaped sideways leaving magic circles in his trails, shooting out ice projectiles at Trigon. The Lord of Purgatory merely stood there, smirking with his arms crossed. "Burn out…" Trigon uttered as walls of fire erupted around him, melting the ice projectiles before they even reached the fire walls.

Itachi threw his right arm behind his back, forming a magic circle in his palm, gathering water. He swung his arm forward sending a giant water snake dragon flying towards the fire wall. The water dragon opened its massive jaws, and slammed down onto the fire walls and Trigon. Although, the water boiled up into a giant steam cloud. Itachi's gaze was focused onto a certain spot in the steam, it looked like a candle shining in the foggy steam. Itachi then heard a flick, and out from the steam shot out a fire bullet shooting into Itachi's right leg.

"Argh!" Itachi grabbed onto his knee, he sweated nervously, slowly removing his hands. He saw a burnt hole in his pants leg, and his skin also suffered from a burn. The steam cleared, revealing Trigon with his arm held out, and his finger directed at Itachi.

"Go on, dance for me." Trigon shot out more fire bullets at Itachi's legs. Itachi jumped back to avoid them, to which Trigon kept on laughing. Itachi formed a magic circle in his right palm, and directed it at the incoming fire assault from Trigon.

Fire Shot!

Itachi shot out a fire sphere, into the nearest incoming bullet, creating an explosion upon the impact. The explosion expanded as Trigon's other fire bullets added into the blast. Itachi flew into the sky, another magic circle formed into his left palm where he generated a giant fire sphere.

Fire Magic: Nova!

Itachi blasted the fire sphere towards Trigon, whom merely looked amused at Itachi's attempts to fight him. "Pathetic." Trigon uttered, as he crossed his arms again, and the wind started blowing stronger around him. "Whirlwind…" Trigon's body was then surrounded by a giant tornado, the powerful wind snuffed out Itachi's fire sphere, strangling the fire.

Itachi then felt a powerful tug onto his body, as the whirlwind pulled him in. No time to react, all he could to was stare in bewilderment as he crashed into the whirlwind. "Argh!" Itachi screamed in pain, as the wind tore through his skin, shredding up his uniform in the process. Trigon smirked and gave a blow, sending Itachi flying crashing into a fence surrounding the field. It didn't take long until he was pulled back in with the fence, and back into the wind tearing through his body, the fence itself was ripped apart in mere seconds. "AAAARRRGGGGHHHH!" Itachi screamed as blood gushed out from the various cuts appearing on his upper body.

Rias and Sona were bruised up and battered, their uniforms stained in a little blood from their battle against the Hydra and Trigon's forces. While their peerage members were even more bruised, battered and bloodied. Gasper was the only one that was mostly unharmed, being too scared to fight and too out of control to use his powers. The little crossdressing vampire was crawled up in a box while whimpering.

Rias panted and picked herself up, blood dripping from a cut on her shoulder. She looked up in terror seeing Itachi getting torn apart by Trigon's whirlwind. Everyone turned to look, hearing the screams of agony from Itachi. "N-No, Itachi… hang on." Rias fought against the pain in her body to pick herself back up, although when she took merely one step she collapsed.

"B-Buchou, don't, you will only make things worse for Itachi-senpai…" Kiba supported himself up with a sword, blood dripping across his face from a cut on his forehead. "We don't even hold a candle to that monster…"

"W-We can't just let this keep on going." Akeno tried to get back up herself.

"What can we do?" Koneko questioned.

Itachi kept on screaming in agony, his screams of pain were enough to get his two guardians to gather their strength. Behemoth grabbed onto Itachi and pulled him away from the whirlwind. While Esdeath slammed her left ice arm into the whirlwind, she let out a war cry sending a wave of ice into the whirlwind, in an attempt to freeze it.

"Get lost, insects." Trigon uttered from within the whirlwind, as Esdeath's ice was ripped apart from the powerful wind. And all three of them were sent flying in opposite directions. "I want to play with the noble brats this time." Trigon sent a glare at Rias and Sona, seeing a resemblance between the young girls, and with two of the four Maous, Sirzechs and Serafall. He directed his palm towards them, ready to begin torturing them as well.

Trigon blasted out wind slice shaped attacks towards the two girls. Rias and Sona, having no strength left could only look in horror at the incoming attacks. Although in a split instant, Itachi used his increased speed from Touki to jump in front of the attacks. The two of them gasped, as they looked onto Itachi's face, twitching in pain. As the wind attacks hit him in his back, leaving three cut marks like a whip struck him. Itachi's body trembled from the painful sensation, as blood dripped from his back and stained his uniform.

"Onii-sama…" Sona stared in horror, Itachi merely looked to her with a smile.

"Run… get away from here, I will hold him off." Itachi turned around to face Trigon, leaving them all to see his bloodied back. Despite his words, his eyes revealed all Trigon needed to see. Fear, fear of potentially losing those he cared about the most.

"We can't just leave you like this!" Rias protested, while Sona looked so horrified from seeing Itachi this injured, she was so scared that she lost her voice.

"Go!" Itachi shouted like it was an order as he stretched both his hands out creating a giant magic circle before him. 'I'll borrow this from you, Kisame…' Itachi thought as out from the magic circle exploded out a pool's worth of water.

Water Shark Bomb!

Ten water sharks charged into Trigon, digging their teeth into his body as they exploded. While Trigon was distracted from the explosion, Itachi peeked up in the sky seeing his crows swirling around them in a circle. 'Almost there…' Itachi quickly looked back to the exploding water, seeing Trigon walking out without a scratch, he wasn't even wet, the water had evaporated from the heat released from Trigon's body. "Go, run!" Itachi looked back to Rias, Sona and their peerage members whom still stood there, not wanting to leave Itachi to deal with this monster alone. "You will only get in the way, hurry and run!"

"H-He's right… we need to get out and recover. It is the only option we have." Tsubaki helped support Sona up as the rest of Sona's peerage gathered around them. Tsubaki prepared a teleportation magic circle, and finally Sona regained her voice able to speak up.

"N-No, Itachi onii-sama!" Sona cried, tears swelling in her eyes as she vanished with her peerage in a magic circle.

"We have to go, Buchou." Akeno said, as she prepared a magic teleportation circle. Kiba supported up Rias while Koneko held onto Gasper whom was still hiding in his box. Rias could only stare at Itachi's back, tears running down her face, the last she saw was an explosive aura emitting from Itachi's body, and then they vanished through the magic circle.

Now that Rias, Sona and their peerage had safely teleported outside of the barrier around the academy to recover. Itachi had one less thing to worry about, and with his plan ready for action. Itachi took a giant leap towards Trigon, whom looked intrigued by this direct challenge. 'Come on, let your ego take over now.' Itachi thought in hopes Trigon would take down the whirlwind, to face him in hand to hand combat.

And just like predicted, Trigon's whirlwind vanished, and he uncrossed his arms. Itachi raised his fist and threw a powerful punch into Trigon's face. Trigon's head tilted sideways from the force of the punch, then he let out an amused chuckle. "That was a free punch I just gave you. Quite the impact on it as well. Usually you noble brats only focus on your demonic powers rather than brute strength." Trigon gave Itachi a condescending smirk, as he grabbed onto Itachi's wrist and pushed his fist away from his face. "I am very pleased, to see that you know how to multitask in your training. Unlike the rest of those spoiled brats. It is almost a shame I have to destroy you."

Trigon began to chuckle, looking forward to Itachi to look at him in despair. Yet to his surprise, Itachi began chuckling with him as well, causing Trigon to raise his brow. "It's finished…" Itachi looked into Trigon's red eyes, Itachi's sharingan began rotating. The crows circling around them, had formed a giant magic circle in the sky, shining down a bright purple light upon them.

"What is this?" Trigon looked at the magic circle, and then he looked at Itachi in bewilderment. Itachi's eyes were gone, it was like they had been pulled out from his sockets. Then to even further his confusion, crows started flying out from Itachi's empty eye sockets and from his mouth. Itachi's entire body dissolved into a murder of crows. Trigon looked into his empty hand, and then around at the murder of crows circling around him.

Some crows gathered and formed into Itachi's upper body. "The real battle begins now." Itachi's voice sounded like it came from every corner, Trigon looked around in confusion not comprehending what was happening.

Then out from the circling crows, came shurikens, kunai knifes, all flying out and stabbed into Trigon's body. The demon flinched in pain, and looked confused, mere blades could never penetrate his body. Yet they did, and he felt pain. Trigon almost lost his balance, and looked down in confusion as the ground moves in a wavy pattern. The ground then exploded sending Trigon flying into the sky, he flew out through the barrier and into the sky towards the full moon. "What sorcery is this?!" Trigon looked up in confusion, as the moon turned red and looked like Itachi's sharingan.

"Judgment." Itachi's voice replied as a red light shined down on Trigon from the full moon. The light burnt his skin, burnt through his spirit bodies very flesh, his brain was on fire. "Let's see, if the king of Purgatory fears something." Itachi said and a lone figure formed in the sky before Trigon. The figure looked female, a young woman dressed in a white hooded robe.

Trigon then smirked. "I see, that's what's going on. Is this the ability of those fancy red eyes of yours? Heh, nothing but mere parlor tricks. If this was my real body, it might have worked better." Trigon started fighting back with his mind, the red light then split in half, as Trigon held his right hand up sending a wave of energy soaring through it.

"I thought you might try something like this, however don't underestimate me." Itachi said as suddenly the light vanished, Trigon looked up widened his eyes, seeing as the moon itself plummeted down towards him. Trigon had broken through the first layer of his illusion, but Itachi kept adding layer upon layer. Trigon went into his demon form, and grabbed a hold of the moon as it tried to push him down with him. Yet Trigon held on, and managed to halt the moon from falling further.

The space began to crack, as Trigon started breaking through the next layer, and Itachi focused on adding as many layers as he could. 'This should keep him distracted for a while, I hope… if not I will be in some serious trouble.' Itachi thought to himself as he added on more layers.

'I could have cast an illusion earlier on, but that would have wasted my energy. Since this is not his real body, and if this spirit body of his uses a similar concept to that of shadow clones. Then normal illusions would be useless, or at least heavily weakened against him. Since he calls this his spirit body, his mind must be involved in controlling it. But a normal illusion still wouldn't have that much of an affect.' Itachi thought as more crows flew around the space, hacking and scratching Trigon to make him let go of the moon.

'Luckily with my crow familiars, I can boost up the effect of my sharingan illusions. It took a lot of hard work, but I managed to use magic and my sharingan to create a weaker version of the Tsukuyomi. True, it cannot affect the victim's concept of time, but space and matter… that's a different story. If it weren't for my familiar, I wouldn't have nearly enough energy to pull this illusion off either.' Itachi thought, explaining this new illusion technique he had perfected with the use of his magic, his familiar, and sharingan. 'And a plus this illusion has the Tsukuyomi doesn't have… it can affect more than one person at a time due to the crows adding on a widespread effect with their powers of illusions. Downside, it is way easier to break through. I cannot afford to lose concentration even for a second.'

Trigon then concentrated even more power in his mind, his eyes glowed and blasted out eye laser beams into the moon. The moon then erupted in a fiery explosion, as Trigon broke through more and more layers. "You cannot keep me trapped here forever! Either you run out of power! Or I break through! Let' see what happens first!" Trigon eagerly smirked. "Even if you use that familiar to increase the effect of the illusion, my spirit body is still quite resistant towards it." Trigon's body exploded in a surge of power, shattering more layers on the illusion.

Itachi kept adding layers, yet Trigon broke through them without breaking a sweat. This kept on going for a total of ten minutes, until Trigon shattered the last layer, standing in the same spot he has since the start. And Itachi on his knees before him, sweating bullets and panting heavily. "I broke through them all. You still have some power left, go on and entertain me more." Trigon smirked down on Itachi.

Itachi raised his right arm up, and water started forming around Trigon. Trapping him in a giant water sphere, while Itachi formed a new magic circle in his right palm that let out a cold breeze. Itachi took a leap backwards, as he directed the magic circle at Trigon in the water sphere.

Subzero: Ice Prison!

In a split second, the water sphere froze in solid ice. Itachi started clenching his hand and glared at the sphere, focusing his demonic power into his hand. "Now! Shatter-" Before Itachi could finish, the ice sphere began to melt. Itachi could only stare in horror, as the ice melted off the Lord of Purgatory, whom smirked seeing the look of horror on Itachi's face.

"Now that, is the look I wanted to see." Trigon chuckled darkly. The moment Trigon took a step forward, dark energy vails wrapped around his body, restraining him. They tightened around his body, to which his eyes twitched a little, seemingly he was in a little pain from this. He looked up and smiled with glee, as hovering over them was his daughter Raven.

"Sorry that it took so long, but restraining Hydra took longer than expected." Raven apologized to the bloodied, beaten up Itachi.

"… You shouldn't be here." Itachi pointed out seeing as it was her Trigon was after.

"I know, but I am responsible for him being here. I cannot just stand back and watch someone die because of me." Raven released a dark magical aura around her, and gathered it into her left hand. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven blasted her father with a dark energy blast, making him growl in agony and pain. "The people of Azarath, practiced a certain magic art from the Gods. This magic art, is Trigon's weakness. However, I alone don't have enough power to defeat him, will you lend me your aid, Itachi Sitri?"

"Hn." Itachi released his touki aura once again, and got into a fighting stance.

"Weakness? Hah! Foolish little girl, this power might be able to injure me more than other abilities… But, to call it my weakness, is presumptuous!" Trigon unleashed a destructive aura, breaking free from his binds. "Now, to begin my conquest of this world!" Trigon immediately aimed for Raven in order to capture her.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven formed dark energy tentacles, slamming them into Trigon. Trigon latched himself onto them, and was sent skidding sideways from the impact. Then a giant water wave clashed into his body from behind, yet the heat from Trigon vaporized the water and turned it into steam, he inhaled his breath sucking the steam right in to clear his field of vision.

The dark energy tentacles then vanished, as Raven redirected her focus elsewhere. She surrounded a broken tower with her dark aura, levitating it, and sending it crashing down upon Trigon's head. The tower exploded in a surge of dark red energy, and Trigon shot out eye laser beams towards Raven. Raven quickly reacted and formed a portal of darkness before her, the beams flew right into it, and then Raven opened a second portal behind Trigon sending his own laser beams blasting into his back.

Trigon growled in frustration, starting to grow annoyed. "Whirlwind!" He then gathered a massive amount of wind around him, that created a giant whirlwind pulling both Itachi and Raven in towards him. Raven quickly created a portal for her and Itachi, they flew through the portal, and another opened out from Trigon's range. Raven flew out while holding onto Itachi.

"This isn't good, sooner or later he will catch us. We can't keep running away." Raven hissed a little, Trigon leaped towards them, the whirlwind following him. Once he was within range, the wind started pulling Raven and Itachi in again.

"I have a plan." Itachi said, Raven created another portal to teleport them further away from Trigon. Itachi whispered into Raven's ear, and she widened her eyes a little at what she heard. She and Itachi looked into each other's eyes and nodded. Raven let go of Itachi whom flew towards Trigon, Itachi held out his right hand, his index and middle finger stretched out.

"Useless." Trigon commented, overconfident that Itachi couldn't do anything to him. Then Itachi swung his arm sideways, and suddenly blood gushed out from Trigon, as a giant cut appeared across his chest. He looked dumbfounded seeing his spirit body's blood splattering before his very face. "Wh-What?" Trigon's whirlwind vanished. 'This is just like when he first arrived before me? Trigon thought back on when Itachi arrived to Esdeath and Behemoth's rescue.

"Steam manipulation." Itachi utters, having used his energy to manipulate the water particles within Trigon's body to attack him from the inside.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven shot out a dark wave of energy, in the shape of a raven, shooting it straight into Trigon's cut and sending it flying straight through Trigon's back. Raven wasn't about to end her assault, had the raven turn around to finish the job. However, Trigon created a barrier around him, blocking the raven from reaching him.

Trigon then healed his injuries, looking like he did at the very start of the fight. "Not bad, you actually managed to injure me." Then his body started giving off this dark red aura, and then the entire academy began trembling, no even the barrier couldn't keep this power restricted to this barrier, the whole town began to tremble. "But this is as far as you will go." Trigon's aura then expanded into a giant red pillar of energy and the shaking intensified with it. "I am the destroyer of all that exists. I rule over Purgatory. And now, I shall rule all. I won't let the three factions, Hades, or even Ophis stand in my way. All worlds, all life, shall bow to me."

Trigon's eyes glowed, and shot out laser beams into Itachi, piercing straight through his right shoulder. Itachi's eyes widened like saucers, as it felt like he been stabbed by fire itself. "Argh!" Itachi screamed, feeling like his shoulder was on fire, hot blood ran down his right arm.

"Itachi!" Raven diverted her attention from Trigon, over hearing the screams of agony coming from Itachi. Trigon lifted his right hand up, and the ground beneath Raven lit up in a red magic circle. Before Raven could react, she was surrounded by a red pillar of light. She screamed in agony as it felt like she had fallen into a pit of fire.

"Raven, my sweet naïve daughter. It is time you realize your fate, we belong together." Trigon smiled with glee over hearing Raven's screams of agony, it was like music to his ears. He then looked to Itachi, whom held his left hand onto his right shoulder to apply pressure on the wound. "As for you, you should be ashamed. Making my darling girl think there actually was hope for her. That she could live a happy life. And for that, I shall punish you." Trigon flicked his fingers, sending a blast of red energy into Itachi knocking him down.

While he was down, Itachi was bombarded with energy blasts. Burning his body, gracing his shoulders and knees. Damaging his limps, making it painful to even stand or move. He was like a helpless animal being toyed with by its predator. He silenced himself, not making a sound to please this monster. And cast a glance at Trigon, glaring into his eyes filled with malice. Itachi's sharingan rotated, and when the next blast from Trigon hit Itachi's body exploded in a murder of crows.

"Hn? More mind games?" Trigon looked unamused at seeing the same trick twice, and merely broke through it. Although once his senses returned to reality, Itachi was gone. In confusion, he looked to the most possible location. Itachi, despite the injuries on his limbs, had moved fast enough to get to Raven, and to push her out from the pillar of light taking her place.

Itachi fell to the ground, and the light began to burn his body. He gritted his teeth in pain, clenching his fists to the point they bleed. Raven stared in horror at seeing this, and a little disbelief at seeing this. 'H-He did all that, all this for me… To save the world.' She thought back before the battle begun, seeing his reassuring smile that they would help her. She knew he didn't do it just for her, she knew. She was impressed by him. He would willingly give his life to save others. She wouldn't let his will and determined spirit have done all this for nothing. Itachi's struggle, would not be for nothing.

Raven without hesitation acted, flaring up in a dark aura. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Itachi's pained and injured body, was embraced by a cool cloak of darkness, that gently lifted him out from the pillar of light. Raven then turned to her father, and moved her arms in various patterns and forms while chanting the magical words.

Trigon widened his eyes as Raven had four red eyes, her anger was showing, and with it a giant speck of darkness bound Trigon's body. Trigon despite this, smiled, his entire body was eaten by the speck of darkness. Raven raised her hand in the air, and the speck of darkness followed. "Die!" Raven's voice changed into a more demonic tone, she then squeezed her hand to which the darkness shrank.

Raven's power started running wild, rocks started levitating around them, the very space around them began to bend. The ground beneath them erupted from the pressure, turning into a crater. Itachi stared in awe, at Raven's untapped potential of power, a seemingly endless amount of magical power. All this power, from her suppressed anger. "Raven!" Itachi shouted seeing how her power started affecting even the soldiers of the three faction, many fell over growling in pain. Raven gasped, at hearing the screams of agony, and her eyes returned to being two and into their normal shade of blue.

The speck of darkness started moving, and erupted in an explosive power of energy, and Trigon emerged. Trigon clapped his hands, his body scorched. The skin around his torso completely burnt away. "What a magnificent display of darkness, truly worthy of being my daughter." Trigon chuckled at seeing Raven's frightened expression, as his body healed itself. "Once I'm in charge, you will be free to use your powers to the fullest. No limitations, no restraints."

"No free will!" Raven retorted back at her father.

"Heh, you won't even worry about such things once I'm done with you."

"It's her, isn't it? The thing that you fear, is her." Itachi managed to pick himself up, and glared at the Lord of Purgatory. Trying to irk him to keep his focus off of Raven. "In my illusion, when I showed you your inner fear. I saw a girl with white robes, she looked a lot like Raven… That's her full potential, isn't it? When she is not influenced by your power. And that potential, frightens you." Itachi stood tall in front of Raven, while smirking at the annoyed Trigon. Trigon didn't look pleased, seems Itachi struck a nerve within the Lord of Purgatory.

"I've had enough of these foolish games." Trigon held his right hand towards his chest, in which a small portal of darkness opened before him. Out from the portal of darkness came a black sword handle, Trigon tightly grabbed ahold of the handle and pulled out a long black sword. "End of the line, noble brat." Trigon gave the sword a good swing sending a massive dark red energy slice. The slice wave dug up the very ground, as it flew towards the young Sitri heir.

The beaten and battered Itachi could barely jump away from the slice attack, his limps felt sore and numb, he couldn't escape, all he could do was glare at the incoming attack while trying to gather up what strength he had left. Behind him was the one he tried to protect, the daughter of this very tyrant of a demon, Raven. Whom horrified stared at her protector whom was staring death in the eye. She felt guilt rise in her, that someone was risking their life for her like this, no he was risking himself for the world.

Itachi tried to leap away, but he barely got up in the air and just fell back into the ground, feeling a sharp stabbing pain in his leg. He closed his eyes as the attack was mere inches away from him, his fate seemed to be certain. 'Sona… Rias… everyone… I'm sorry.' Itachi thought as the red light of the attack shined around him, then in a mere instant the attack was blocked by a massive wall of stone and by a large ice dragon.

Itachi widened his eyes seeing the beaten Behemoth and Esdeath, his master and self-proclaimed protector standing before him. Trigon's smirk grew as in a mere instant Trigon transformed into his demon form, sending more power into his attack. Then the wall and the ice dragon shattered from the pressure of the attack, sending the two back a little bit. They stared in shock as out from the smoke jumped out Trigon, back in his human form to conserve energy, with his sword raised in his right hand, and his left hand stretched out at Esdeath and Behemoth. Trigon smirked at the two servants of Levithan, and a magic circle formed beneath the two.

Hell Blaze!

Trigon blasted Esdeath and Behemoth with a blazing fire ball, and the explosion shook the ground as well as sending the two warriors flying. Behemoth gasped and Esdeath growled at Trigon, as they saw the demon swing his sword at Itachi, cutting the young Sitri across his chest as he was shielding Raven. Hot blood spilled out from Itachi as he glared at Trigon whom gave a light chuckle as drops of Itachi's blood flew between them. The blood gushed out from the cut, Trigon span his body in a 360 turn and placed his palm at Itachi's gut.

Death Bomb!

Trigon blasted Itachi with a red sphere of energy, sending him flying away like a rocket. "R-Raven!" Itachi shouted out Raven's name, his hands stretching out towards her. If Trigon got his hands on her, it would all be over.

"Itachi!" Raven shouted with a horrified look as Itachi flew further away from them, leaving her at her father's mercy.

"Finally! You are mine!" Trigon smirks as he reaches out to grab his terrified daughter, whom had a look that truly showed the situation. All hope was lost, her eyes looked empty as if she had accepted her and the world's end.

Although before Trigon could grab Raven, something else fell in his grasp or rather someone. Trigon held someone's left wrist in his grasp, he had been blocked from reaching Raven once more. "Hurry up and leave, I don't know how much time I got left. But I will be able to keep him at bay for a short while." Raven looked up with a look of awe, seeing a bruised and battered Bob. Smoke emitting from his very body, his slicked back hair looking messy, with the right half looking like his usual bed-hair with his bangs going over half his forehead and over his eyes. And with the left side still slicked back with a few strains of hair going over the other half of his forehead.

Bob had been fighting for almost an hour straight, both against the Hydra beast and the demonic army of Trigon. His 23-hour state almost at its limit from the looks of it, he was on the very brink of returning to his petite state. "Bob…" Raven uttered and picked herself up, she then did as she was told and took off flying after Itachi.

"Most of my life, I had no one… I was alone, shunned by my friends and family. I lived in that loneliness for 10 years. And now, now when I finally have found a home, friends, a family. I ain't about to let some freakshow like you take it all away!" Bob declared with passion, and with a wide smirk at the frowning Trigon, the Lord of Purgatory's eyes burned with anger. As he glared into the eyes of Bob, that to him resembled that of an angry grizzly bear.

"You lowlife vermin…" Trigon glared right back at Bob, foaming with rage over having been delayed with his plans.

"Never thought I would say these words…" Bob pulled his right fist back, clenching his fist as hard as he could. "… but… I'm going to punch Satan in the fucking face!" Bob declared as his left arm deflated into its skinny self, Bob even managed to pull his deflated arm out from Trigon's grasp. And next his body followed deflating into his petite state, except for his right arm that was now even bigger than the rest of his body.

"What is this sorcery?" Trigon questioned at Bob's sudden change of appearance. If anything, Bob had less than a minute left to use any strength left in his right gigantic muscly arm.

"Now… to put my back into it." Bob jumped at Trigon and swung his muscular right arm with everything he had, slamming his giant fist right into Trigon's face in a right hook. Trigon widened his eyes from the impact left by that punch. He stared in disbelief as drops of blood escaped from his very own lips. This lowlife reincarnate, made him, a demon overlord bleed.

What followed next, was more blood that squirted out from all over Bob's arm. His skin and muscles felt like they tore up, he could feel that he broke a bone or two. Bob glared at Trigon as his bloodied, and broken arm deflated back to normal, and the Lord of Purgatory was sent skidding backwards from the force of the punch. Followed by a powerful soundwave from the punch, that rang like a bell across the battlefield for all to hear.

Bob's petite body fell to the ground, his right bloodied, bruised broken arm held out forward. "Guess I'm done… at least I managed to fulfill my duty… to Itachi. Shame, seems I won't be able to reach my own goal. Oh well, it doesn't matter… at least I won't die in vain." Bob weakly smirked as he stared up at Trigon whom was shaking his head, trying to shake off the pain.

Trigon turned to look at Bob, a smirk spread across his face with a trail of blood coming from the corner of his lip. "Hn, I will give you this. You are quite brave, despite being such a shrimp." Trigon walked towards Bob ready to end him. Bob lightly chuckled at Trigon, making the Lord of Purgatory raise a brow.

"This "shrimp" made you bleed…" Bob stared at Trigon with a smirk spread across his bruised up bloodied face, to which the Lord of Purgatory frowned.

Meanwhile, Itachi is flying back, almost at the very end of the barrier surrounding Kuoh Academy. He tried to push himself of the energy blast, but to no avail, it looked like things were truly over. "I… I failed… I failed again. I couldn't even protect a single person. How could I possibly protect those precious to me if I couldn't protect one person… my friends… my family. I failed you, I'm sorry…" Itachi's face was wet, wet with tears. Itachi was actually crying, his eyes were shedding tears. "All hope… is lost."

The energy blast pushing Itachi was then pushed away by a force that made the entire space tremble. Itachi's limping weak body suddenly felt something grabbing a hold of him. "Don't give up hope boy…" Itachi recognized that voice, he weakly looked up to see his own Rook, Harry Newgate holding him under his right arm. "… you got your family here to back you up."

Harry came crashing down next to Kuroka, in his arms was the injured Itachi whom was barely conscious. Blood dripped from Itachi as he was held under Harry's arm like a piece of meat. "Itachi-sama…" Kuroka ran up to Harry whom gently put Itachi down, resting his head on Kuroka's lap. Kuroka gently stroked the top of Itachi's head, as he took in slow weak breaths resting up to continue the fight later if needed. Raven also arrived and landed next to Itachi although Kuroka pulled him in, sending the witch girl a glare, blaming her for all of this.

"You just rest up boy, this is a matter for adults." Harry walked past Kuroka and Itachi, taking a giant leap forward to reach Trigon.

The Lord of Purgatory stood over the weakened, beaten, battered and bruised, petite Bob. "Brave last words…" Trigon glared down on Bob for his remark earlier, his eyes glowed ready to incinerate the little Bob. Trigon gave a devilish smirk, a smirk that vanished from a sudden shaking. "Huh?" Trigon looked around seeing the ground shaking, seemingly from an earthquake.

Trigon didn't bother and merely looked at Bob, to get rid of this pest that made him bleed. Trigon shot out his eye lasers towards Bob, although something landed in between Bob and Trigon and the shaking increased. And out from the dust cloud a giant fist clashed into the eye lasers, to which the beams gained cracks in them, light emitted all over from the beams before they shattered like glass. The shockwave from the negated beams, sent such force that Trigon was sent skidding back a mere few steps.

"What in the…?" Trigon narrowed his gaze at the dust cloud, seeing a giant shadowy figure. The dust blew away revealing a giant muscular old man with a white mustache that reached to bellow his mighty chin. Harry stood there, glaring at the Lord of Purgatory. "Another mere reincarnate?" Trigon raised his brow with an amused smirk spread across his face.

"Hn, how I pity you…" Harry huffed which gained a small frown from Trigon.

"Pity me? Hah, and why is that?" Trigon smirked as he placed his black sword down his belt, then crossed his arms.

"You don't know when you are standing before greatness." Harry replied and with an aura beginning to flare around him. "You are standing face to face with the mighty Harry Newgate. Prepare yourself, puny demon."

"Pfft, such insolent foolish pride. I will teach you some humility." Trigon declared and the wind began taking up around Trigon. The wind started blowing more violently, until it formed into a giant whirlwind around the Lord of Purgatory. Harry's mustache started blowing towards Trigon as the wind started pulling him in.

Harry widened his eyes and gave a huff as he slammed his feet into the ground to remain standing. Bob flew crashing into the giant Harry's back, Harry grabbed onto the beaten bloodied Bob. "We need to get you out of here." Harry looked down at Bob whom smiled weakly at him.

"Sorry… I can't move a muscle anymore." Bob uttered, Harry looked around and saw Esdeath and Behemoth trying to hold themselves down and not get pulled in. Harry then lifted up his right leg and started walking towards Behemoth. Trigon widened his eyes from within the whirlwind, seeing Harry walking no problem despite the storm trying to pull him in.

Behemoth also looked shocked at seeing this, seeing as even he had problem dealing with Trigon's storm earlier. "Look after the little guy." Harry handed Bob over to Behemoth, and then turned towards Trigon and started walking towards him.

"That fool… that storm will rip him to shreds!" Esdeath growled as she was holding onto her sword, that was stabbed into the ground.

"Ignite my soul… in a shining flame of Pride." Harry began chanting. "Burn as brightly as the sun… to vanquish my enemy in a pit of fire. Balance Breaker, Flames of Pride." The aura around him burnt like fire, flames forming around his massive muscular body like a samurai armor.

Harry had walked right up to the whirlwind, and he took one more step walking straight through into the whirlwind. Behemoth, Esdeath and Bob all widened their eyes at this. "He walked through the storm when neither the young master or we could?" Behemoth questioned as he alone barely managed to get his fist through to strike Trigon during their battle.

'Was he able to walk through it because Trigon was in his human form?' Esdeath thought feeling first now, that the storm didn't have the same intensity as before when they fought.

"What's this? A mere reincarnate is able to walk through my storm?" Trigon raised his brow staring up at the massive, flame armored Harry standing before him within the storm.

"Storm? I wouldn't know about that… But I will say, it's a pretty cute little breeze you got there." Harry mocks with a smirk, and the flames of his Balance Breaker, ignited the entire whirlwind on fire.

Trigon widened his eyes in surprise, he was so taken aback that he uncrossed his arms and took a small step back as he looked around at the fire whirlwind surrounding them. As he turned to Harry, he was met with a mighty fist rammed into his face sending him flying out from the whirlwind. The whirlwind vanished the moment Trigon flew out from it, flying over the ground he looked up with a stunned look.

Harry appeared flying above him with his mighty devil wings stretched out, and a giant sphere of fire forming at the tip of his sword. "I told you, didn't I? To prepare yourself." Harry gave on huff and sent the fire sphere flying into Trigon, sending the Lord of Purgatory soaring down from the sky like a meteor.

The fire sphere with Trigon collided into the academy's pool, in a mere instant the pool vanished in a blazing inferno of an explosion. Harry lands standing tall before the burning black cloud of smoke. He looks at the smoke cloud with a raised brow as it is blown away, and out from the crater walked a tall red skinned muscular demon, with long white hair and a matching neckbeard, four glowing yellow eyes and majestic horns sticking out from his forehead.

"I didn't expect this… for a mere reincarnate to match the power of the Earth King, or even to exceed it." Trigon now in his Demon form, signifying him taking this seriously. "And that Sacred Gear of yours, the Flame Sword of Pride if I'm not mistaken? I wonder how long you can withstand its power before you reach your limit, and the flames you generate begins to hurt you." Trigon stated, revealing a weakness or a risk of Harry's Sacred Gear.

Harry merely shrugs off that statement with a chuckle. "I am Harry Newgate… the word limit has no meaning to me."

Trigon gives a smirk at that. "I wonder, how long can you keep up that foolish bravado?" Trigon takes note seeing Harry's right shoulder beginning to suffer minor burns from the growing intensity of his Sacred Gear.

Trigon smirked as he drew out his black sword from his belt, and stared down at Harry whom readied his own sword. Harry waved his hand in a gesture telling Trigon to come closer. The Lord of Purgatory let out a snarl and smirked, as he charged straight at Harry with his sword raised. Yet Harry didn't move a muscle, just stood there like he was waiting for the blow. Trigon then swung the blade down upon Harry, whom quickly reacted and grabbed the sword with his available hand, generating a blazing wave of flames through his hand.

"Oh, trying to melt the sword? Fool, it was forged in the flames of Purgatory, your pathetic flames can't possibly melt it." Trigon declared, and Harry merely smirked as the ground began to shake. "What are you doing?" Trigon questioned when suddenly a different energy went through Harry and into Trigon's sword. Trigon looked in shock as the blade of his sword started to crack with Harry's flames leaking through the cracks. The cracks spread all the way to the hilt of the sword, then it snapped, broke into millions of pieces that melted from Harry's flames.

"Including my Sacred Gear, I hold the ability of the last Devil Fruit." Harry revealed to which Trigon was caught off guard, and then before he could react Harry swung his sword down onto Trigon's right shoulder and cut him down to his waist.

Trigon backed up in shock, as his body split open from his right shoulder and down, gushing out blood. Trigon stood there with a taken aback look, although that look quickly turned into a smirk. Darkness spread around his body, and reattached itself. "Fool, you have to do better than that." Trigon's four eyes glowed as he unleashed eye laser beams into Harry's chest pushing him into the ground. The lasers kept blasting into the old man, digging him further into the ground. "I'm through playing around." Trigon ended his eye lasers, and merely lifted his right hand up, forming a magic circle in the hole with Harry. And out exploded a pillar of dark red light blasting the old man back up to the surface.

Trigon appeared before Harry and slammed his fist into the old man's face sending him pluming to the ground. Landing with a loud crash, Trigon continued the assault by raising his right hand with his index finger sticking out. And a tiny red energy blast charged up around his black claw fingernail. He shot out the blast into Harry's gut, the energy expanded into a large dome of red energy around Harry, then the next second it exploded in a fiery explosion.

"I feel bad for you, if I was at full power, I could have killed you quickly. But, with less than half of my original power you will die slowly in pain." Trigon then let out a malicious laughter at his own statement. "Oh, who am I kidding. Even if I had my original power, I would have still found a way to torture you before you died." Trigon sent a second blast as he saw Harry standing back up in the fiery smoke with his back turned from the looks of it.

Harry's face was darkened, and the smoke around him cleared from the force of Trigon's incoming blast. Harry merely swung his left arm sideways, ramming his fist into the energy blast. And it was like the air itself cracked from under the power of his Devil Fruit. Then the blast from Trigon shattered like glass. "Perhaps, I should start getting at least a little serious." Harry turned around and glared up at the Lord of Purgatory whom was clapping his hands.

"Bravo, seems you still have some fight left in you. Will make your death all the more satisfying." Trigon then vanished in a flash, and quickly reappeared in front of Harry with his fist raised. Harry countered his punch using his elbow, and then swung his arm upwards delivering a mighty backhand strike to Trigon's face. Trigon fell backwards for a moment, but quickly recovered and latched his hands onto Harry's shoulders, kneeing him in the stomach. Causing Harry to fall bobbing forwards, Harry growled a little and swung his body back up, headbutting Trigon in the chin.

Harry kept the onslaught of attacks going by throwing a powerful left hook, while charging up a fire sphere at the tip of his sword. "That again?" Trigon questioned, and delivered a spin kick to Harry's right cheek, sending the old titan back a few steps. Trigon leaped at Harry, delivering first a punch to his nose, and then a powerful upper cut, followed by and elbow strike to the chest. Sending the old man falling onto his butt, Trigon kept going and sent an energy blast directly into Harry creating an explosion that stretched far.

The smoke around Harry cleared from the blazing fire sphere generated at the tip of his sword. Revealing a long burning trail of dragged up ground left from Trigon's blast. Harry leaped at Trigon, grabbing him by the throat with a tight grip trying to strangle him. "Heh, fool, that won't do you any good. This isn't even my real body." Trigon smirked at Harry's seemingly foolish attempt.

"Who said that was my goal?" Harry lifted Trigon up into the air, and then slammed his body flat onto the ground creating a small crater from the impact. Harry let go of Trigon's throat and then stomped his boot onto his chest, and delivered a powerful kick that sent Trigon flying. "That's far enough…" Harry commented as Trigon managed to stop himself in midair and glared at Harry.

Harry's fire sphere then merged with the sword, generating a giant fire around the golden blade. Harry huffed and swung his blade forward sending a giant fire wave.

Fire Slash!

The fire wave clashed into Trigon, sending him skidding back and giving him a deep cut across his chest, a cut that quickly healed. Trigon shook his head, shaking off the impact that blow made on his body. "So, your real body down in Purgatory feels the pain dealt to your fake body here? Guess that is a side effect of you possessing someone." Harry made note, as it seemed Trigon felt pain from his behavior.

"And? I am a God, I have taken worse beatings back when I was a mere toddler. You cannot defeat me, you don't have enough power to destroy this body. I can tell from this little skirmish that you don't, you are enough to hold me back that's true, but not enough to destroy me." Trigon smirked at Harry whom was beginning to breath a little heavier, and he started getting more and more minor burn marks. "And unlike you, I don't tire."

"Hn. I'm still more than enough to hold you off until the Faction Leaders have closed up that rift. Once that closes up, you lose your influence in this world, and this body of yours will vanish with no more energy to support it."

"I suppose, if I can't defeat you in time, and grab the girl then I lose. But if I kill you, and get the girl then I win. Once I have Raven in my grasp, I can make her open the gate to Purgatory and then I will show you all my real power."

"Bring it on then…" Harry readied himself, then at blinding speed Trigon appeared before him, both hands placed on his gut.

Hellfire Blast

Harry was blasted with a giant wave of blazing fire, the fire itself didn't do much damage to him. But he quickly realized that wasn't Trigon's goal, he flew over Behemoth, Esdeath and Bob and further away. He saw three figures coming into view, Kuroka, Itachi and Raven. The wave pushing Harry then vanished, and he was slammed into the ground by Trigon's fist.

Trigon's gaze was focused on Raven whom let out a gasp and backed away, seeing that smirk on her father's face. "Hello daughter, I wanted to make sure you witnessed my victory."

"Harry!" Kuroka shouted seeing the old man beneath Trigon's foot.

Raven tried to grab Itachi and run for it with Kuroka, although before they could Trigon created a powerful whirlwind around him, pulling them closer. "You aren't going anywhere little girl." Trigon chuckled still pinning Harry down.

'I can't let him get a hold of her…!' Harry thought, letting out a growl as he attempted a last-ditch effort. He gripped tightly around the handle of his sword, generating a massive fire aura around him.

"Hmph, useless." Trigon ignored this aura and kept it going with his storm. Raven struggled not to get pulled in, forming a barrier of darkness around her, Itachi and Kuroka.

'And with my other hand…' Harry dug his left hand into the ground, making the area shake like an earthquake. He also sent his fiery aura into the ground, making his fire samurai armor vanish. Trigon started to raise a brow as the ground beneath him started to feel hot.

"What are you doing?" Trigon glared down at Harry whom gave him a smirk.

"An ability utilizing my Devil Fruit power, and my Sacred Gear…" Harry uttered as he clenched his left hand.

Fire Quake!

The ground around Harry and Trigon rumbled the ground moved like waves at the sea. Trigon widened his eyes, as waves of fire erupted from the ground like volcanos around them negating his storm. They were engulfed in a fire pillar and an explosion.

Raven lowers the barrier around her, Itachi and Kuroka. And they are left to stare in awe at the scene before them. The entire area was burnt into a charcoaled crater, with the two titans standing in the center of it. Harry was panting for a few seconds, but his pride grew and so did his power.

"What… what is the source of your damn power?!" Trigon snarled at Harry.

"… My pride in my friends, my family." Harry declared.

This was getting troublesome. Trigon had thought he should simply kill this old fool and then grab his daughter to unleash his body upon this world. But no, this old bastard was growing stronger by the minuet, and his body seemed to be able to withstand more power than this before he reached his limit. Guess he had to forget about the old man for now, he would have his fun once his real body had gotten through to this world.

Trigon flicked his finger, sending an energy wave blasting past Harry and into Kuroka sending her rolling away from Itachi and Raven. Harry quickly acted and charged at Trigon. 'Guess I won't get the boy away from Raven in time, oh well it doesn't matter, he can hardly stand.' Trigon smirked and raised his arms up and clapped his hands together. And then a barrier formed around Raven and Itachi, trapping them in. Harry turned around in confusion, and Trigon merely flew past Harry and into the barrier.

Harry rushed at Trigon and the barrier, although unlike Trigon he crashed into it unable to get through. "What…? No!" Harry started banging his fists up against the barrier. But every time he made a crack, it would just heal itself.

"This barrier is made from my own personal energy. Only I can pass through it, and as long as I keep supporting it with enough energy it cannot be broken." Trigon revealed as he stood tall over Itachi and Raven, he reverted back into his human form to conserve more energy and focus it on the barrier instead. "Now then, where were we?"

Itachi stepped in front of Raven in a defensive manner, barely able to stand he would still not give up. "Heh." Trigon slapped Itachi to the side sending him crashing into a rock that shattered over him. "Come now, Raven." Trigon reached his hand out to Raven.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven blasted her father with a giant raven shaped black energy sending him back a few steps. "I won't let you take me and destroy this world!" Raven kept bombarding her father with blasts, he backed up a little from the pain. But walked forward like the monster he was, Raven started backing up while still blasting her father.

"I've come too far! This won't stop me!" Trigon declared, as Raven had finally backed up to the end of the barrier. "You are mine!" Trigon smirked.

"No, she's not!" Trigon turned around and saw the rubble around Itachi starting to move.

A bloodied hand stuck out from the rubble, and out crawled Itachi. His school uniform completely torn, with the pants being the only thing left. His muscular body was covered in bruises and cuts with a large cut across his chest, his face a little swollen. His entire right arm stained with trails of blood, that dripped off from the tip of his fingers. His right eye closed as a trail of blood had run over it from a cut on his forehead blinding him. His black hair blew in the wind, and his red ribbon had come loose and flown away with the wind. Itachi barely had energy left to even stand, and for each wobbly step he took, it looked as if he could collapse at any minute. He spitted some blood out to the side, and walked up to the Lord of Purgatory.

Raven had used that split second of a distraction, to attack her father and fly to the side circling around the barrier. Trigon snarled at his daughter, and then he grew an amused smirk at seeing the pathetic form of the Sitri heir. He looked down upon Itachi with his arms crossed, and as Itachi got closer to him everyone in his peerage gasped in horror.

"Get away from him boy!" Harry pounded on the barrier surrounding Itachi, Raven and Trigon, trying to break through. Yet Trigon kept supporting the barrier with his energy, so that the cracks Harry made in the barrier quickly vanished.

"Itachi-sama…" Kuroka crawled towards the barrier, stretching her hand out towards the figure that was her master. Then in a flash three characters arrived at the scene, a series of blades and red crystal projectiles shot into the barrier, along with strings wrapping around trying to negate it.

One figure was Itachi's first knight, Jack. "Mommy…" Jack growled and summoned forth ten different anti demonic swords, sending them crashing into the barrier. Yet Trigon's power was too great and the blades just bounced off.

The second figure was Damian, using as much power from his Sacred Gear as he could to strangle the magic barrier. "Hang in there, we'll keep attacking this barrier until it breaks!"

The giant kakuja of Eto was the third figure on the scene, banging up against the barrier from every angle trying to find a weak spot. "I still need that kid alive, so I won't let you kill him." Eto declared giving a snarl at Trigon.

"Get lost worms." Trigon sent a surge of energy through the barrier, crashing into the three. Jack fell rolling onto the ground, her right leg and arm broken. Damian flew skidding back barely managing to stand after that blast. And Eto's Kakuja shattered and she fell back into the ground.

"Master Itachi…" Bob arrived limping towards the barrier, and although having been reduced to his weakest state, held a baseball bat in his left hand, seeing as his right was broken. Bob swung the bat into the barrier although it broke after three swings.

"Just run, Itachi." Eto crawled out from her destroyed Kakuja and fell over. "That monster is too much for us." Even though she had doubts Trigon would let any of them live.

"Dammit! Dammit!" Damian kept trying to break the barrier by surrounding it with his strings, yet the amount of power in the barrier was too strong for him to break through.

"Itachi… just leave me. I don't want you to die because of me." Raven tried to get up to reach Itachi. "Just run, and the faction leaders can step in and take him down." Raven pleaded Itachi, whom didn't respond as he stopped walking now that he stood right before Trigon.

"Heh, they can try. But if just one of them stops holding my rift back, my spirit form here will just gain more of my true power. Especially if the likes of Sirzechs or Ajuka tries to take me on, then I will be up at full strength within the next ten minutes. Behemoth, Esdeath, and your rook Harry Newgate. Are the only ones strong enough to take me on, that is why I created this barrier. Once I get a hold of Raven, I will get to full strength regardless." Trigon declared while letting out a crazed malicious laughter, to which Itachi slowly raised his fist, and with what little strength he had he punched Trigon's chest which didn't have any affect.

"… Don't you… touch her." Itachi weakly declared while giving Trigon a death glare, to which Trigon smirked and released some blast of energy around him sending Itachi flying crashing into the barrier wall.

"Pathetic little noble. I shall enjoy tearing you apart limb from limb, I shall savor each scream, every last drop of blood. And when your spirit is broken, only then, will I end your suffering." Trigon declared as he laughed at the fallen Sitri heir.

"Itachi!" Raven quickly went to Itachi's side. "Just please! Call one of the faction leaders to deal with him. Don't be stubborn he will just get back to full strength at this rate." Raven helped support up the beaten Itachi, whom grew a smirk much to Raven's surprise.

"Guess they made it…" Itachi uttered as the space around them began shaking from a massive source of power. Trigon raised his brow at this sudden immense power source. Itachi looked up into the sky and saw a shining light. "Help me… nee-san." Itachi uttered and then it was like a shooting star shoot straight through the barrier and landed in the dead center of it. Dust gathered around this lone figure in the center as the entire barrier shattered.

Trigon widened his eyes in disbelief. "Impossible… if you are here, how come I'm still not gaining strength from the rift?" Trigon questioned as the dust cleared, revealing a pissed off Serafall glaring ice cold stares at Trigon.

Meanwhile, by Trigon's rift, where all the leaders of the three factions were surrounding it in a barrier of magic circles. Preventing Trigon's energy from reaching the outside world, although the spot Serafall once covered was being covered by two new figures. "Lady Serafall… forgive me for not being able to protect the young master myself." It was Behemoth and Esdeath aiding in the shielding of the barrier in Serafall's place.

"Heh, that demon is about to face the mightiest female devil alive… the true Devil Ice Queen… Magical Devil Girl, Serafall Levithan." Esdeath declared with nothing but respect in her tone for her master, the one woman whom managed to overwhelm her in battle once.

Back with Trigon's spirit form, Serafall and Itachi's peerage. Raven widened her eyes in amazement and looked at the smiling Itachi in her arms. "You weren't trying to beat him… you were just distracting him so Behemoth and Esdeath could get to the rift."

The tension grew, as Trigon and Serafall were starring each other down. Despite Trigon towering over Serafall in terms of size, everyone watching couldn't for the life of them know who was going to win. Serafall looks to the beaten and battered form of Itachi from the corner of her eye, and grinds her teeth in anger as she glares at Trigon, whom merely smirked while looking down on her. "How dare you…!" Serafall hissed.

"How dare I, what?" Trigon smirked mockingly at the angry Serafall whom at this point was shaking out of anger.

"How dare you… Bring my precious little brother to such a state?!" Serafall summoned a magical girl staff that went with her pink magical girl outfit. "Unforgivable… I will make you regret ever stepping a foot outside of purgatory!" Serafall fumed with rage as she directed her magical girl staff at Trigon, whom gave her a look that said, come on then.

Magical Girl Sparkle Blast!

A magic circle formed around the tip of her magical girl staff, and a giant magic circle formed beneath Trigon's feet, and despite its name what happened next even the Lord of Purgatory was not prepared. "Huh?" Trigon widened his eyes as flickers of blue sparks flared around him, and the very next moment exploded in a massive pillar of destructive energy.

The very sky and earth trembled from this destructive level of power, and everyone widened their eyes at seeing the true power of Serafall for the very first time. It is said, just a little bit of her sparkling power could destroy a small country within minutes. And they weren't wrong, if it hadn't been for Grayfia and Sirzechs peerage putting up a defensive barrier around the academy at the start of the invasion, the entire town of Kuoh would have been wiped off the map.

Once the dust of the explosion cleared, all that was left was a charcoaled smoking crater. A new pillar of red demonic energy shot up, and out of the crater rose Trigon back into his true form. Red skin, white hair, horns growing out from his head, and four yellow glowing eyes. Serafall glared at the laughing figure of Trigon, and then she looked over to Raven and Itachi. "Raven, was it?" Serafall asked to which the hooded half demon gave a nervous nod. "Take care of It-tan for me, get him and the others out of here. So-tan and Rias-chan will be waiting for you on the outside. If I'm going to go all out… I need to know It-tan will be out of range. This could get messy." Serafall declared to which Raven nodded again.

"Yes ma'am." Raven replied and took Itachi back over to his peerage members, to which they vanished in a magic circle. They appeared outside of the academy where Rias, Sona and their peerage were waiting.

Itachi!" Rias instantly rushed over to the injured Itachi's side along with the others.

"Onii-sama." Sona took Itachi out from Raven's arms and held her big brother close.

"Akeno, begin healing him!" Rias ordered to which Akeno complied without question and started using her magical power to heal Itachi's broken body.

"Momo! Reya! Tsubaki! You too!" Sona ordered to which her two bishops and queen complied without question and started healing Itachi as well.

"Itachi-sama…" Kuroka weakly reached out and used what power she had to heal her master.

"You are too injured." Raven pulled Kuroka back, much to Kuroka's disliking.

"Back off… he tried to help you, and look what happened!" Kuroka shouted out of frustration, yet Raven didn't show any particular reaction. Knowing herself this whole mess was her own fault.

"I know, it is my fault. Which is why, I want to make up for it." Raven sat down and gently placed her hands around Itachi's head. "You need to rest, I will heal him." Raven looked at the injured exhausted nekomata, whom sent Raven a little glare, before her expression softened as she looked at her injured master. Kuroka gently crawled over to Itachi's unconscious body and nuzzled up against him like a cat.

"You better save him…you hear." Kuroka said in a broken voice as she cried over seeing Itachi in this state. After everything Itachi had done for them, she at least wanted to be of some help. Raven smiled and gave the nekomata a nod of assurance.

Raven took in a deep breath and began chanting. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos." Raven's body let out a dark glow of energy, and her eyes glowed as Itachi's body was surrounded by the same aura as Raven. Everyone watched in anticipation, and worry for Itachi's health.

Sona stood up, and looked at Rias whom had grabbed a hold of Itachi's right hand, at Kuroka and Jack both hugging Itachi's unconscious body while crying, at Akeno whom looked desperate to make sure Itachi would wake up by healing his injured body. The rest surrounded the unconscious Itachi, with hope that he would open his eyes soon. Sona clenched her hands over her chest and looked towards the academy, where she saw explosions of light. 'Onee-sama…'

Back to the battle, Serafall flew back as Trigon charged at her while being covered in a red dark energy. "Come on then, Levithan! Entertain me!" Trigon laughed as he launched a massive beam of energy at Serafall whom swung her magical staff sideways, creating a wall of defensive magic circles tanking the blast. The magic circles began to crack as the light of Trigon's blast shined through, Serafall then flew down into the ground and the blast flew into the distance. Blowing up the old school building along with the Occult Research Club.

Serafall glared at Trigon, and swung her right arm behind her back, forming a magic circle, and then swung it forward. And out from the magic circle came a massive ice spear tip, that pierced into Trigon, yet not through him. The ice kept stretching, and dragging Trigon with it. Trigon smiled with glee over the excitement of battle, he grabbed a hold of the ice spear and sent his destructive energy into it shattering it.

"Come on, Serafall!" Trigon shouted down at Serafall, although only to widen his four eyes at seeing she was gone. Suddenly he began feeling the heat, literally, he could feel the heat coming from flames. He turned around, and saw Serafall, both her hands holding onto her magical girl staff with a gigantic ball of fire formed at the tip of it. It felt like Trigon was standing before the sun itself, to which the demon widened his eyes.

Fire Shot!

"You wanted me?! You got me!" Serafall shouted and swung her magical girl staff down, sending the fireball crashing into Trigon like a meteorite. The fireball soared down with Trigon, and exploded into a gigantic fire mushroom cloud. And the sheer heat of the blast melted the remaining buildings and ruins of the academy.

Serafall flew crashing down as the explosion cleared, although then Trigon came charging out from the smoke. Serafall widened her eyes, as Trigon slammed his fist into her gut making her vomit a puddle of blood. He grabbed a hold of her hair, and dragged her face across the crater dragging up the charted ground, cutting and scratching Serafall's face a little. He then lifted her up and slammed her into the ground.

Trigon smirked maliciously as his eyes glowed and shot out a beam each pushing Serafall further into the ground, expanding the crater. Serafall was pushed further through the ground, she struggled and let out a war cry as the beams started to freeze into solid ice. Trigon kept on laughing although then looked shocked, as ice was freezing his beams and before he could react it reached his eyes. Trigon roared in pain and backed up while rubbing his eyes.

Serafall then blasted up from the ground and directed her magical girl staff at Trigon, creating multiple magic circle before her. And out shot an endless bombardment of giant ice crystals blasting into Trigon. Sending the demon backing up for each crystal that blew up in his face. Trigon grew tired of these little games and let out a mighty roar, as a giant blast of dark energy erupted around him. The wave destroyed the incoming ice crystals, and then the magic circles, then it hit Serafall sending her flying back.

Trigon vanished at high speed and appeared behind Serafall, he grabbed onto the back of her head and slammed her face into the ground. He then lifted her up and headbutted her making her yelp in pain as she bleed from her forehead, with the blood running down over her eyes. All she could see was red while glaring at the demon before her. "Weren't you going to make me wish I hadn't stepped a foot outside of purgatory? Heh, what a joke." Trigon smirked and dropped Serafall onto the ground.

He then slammed his foot into her gut, sending such force and power into it that the crater expanded even further. Serafall cried out in pain, and then Trigon stepped on her face. "Your screaming is really starting to hurt my ears, how about you shut up for a bit. I will let you scream again soon." Trigon let out a dark chuckle, although then Serafall grabbed onto his ankle. Trigon widened his eyes as his leg started to freeze and ice started to cover it. Trigon quickly stepped back, giving Serafall the chance to get back up.

Ice Dragon!

Serafall swung her magical girl staff down, as a giant dragon made out of ice popped out from a magic circle. The dragon opened its jaw and slammed it down upon Trigon's body, trying to devour him. The dragon then exploded from a dark red energy, and Trigon raised his hand at Serafall and sent a massive wave of demonic energy blasting into Serafall.

Serafall was sent flying into the ground, dragging the ground up as she flew back crashing into the barrier that was beginning to break from the battle between these two titans. "Resistance is futile to one that is the destroyer of all that exists!" Trigon declared and flinched his right hand a bit.

Demonic Hellfire!

The entire space around the barrier got lit up in a blazing fire in mere seconds. Making it appear on the outside like it was just one massive ball of fire. "Let's see then. What is stronger. Your fire, or my ice!" Serafall was sweating from this immense heat, and her skin even started to get burn marks, she slammed her hands into the ground generating a cold chilling energy.

Celsius Cross Trigger!

The flames on Serafall's side of the barrier then froze into solid ice, while the flames remained on Trigon's side. Their powers were too evenly matched so now one half of the barrier was frozen in solid ice, and the other half burning in a blazing fire.

They both merely stared each other down, both having taken damage although Serafall was the only one who was showing it. Seeing as this wasn't Trigon's actual body, the injuries didn't appear on him, yet his real body down in purgatory was feeling it alright. They both at the same time raised their hands directed at each other, and from behind both of their energy built up.

Trigon sent the fire from behind him flying towards Serafall in the form of hundreds of waves. And Serafall sent the ice from behind her in the form of hundreds of giant ice lances. The impact of the attacks colliding with each other sent such force, that the barrier looked like it was on the verge of breaking apart.

As neither assault seemed to budge, they both charged towards each other. Trigon spread his arms ready to grab a hold of Serafall and crush her bones. Serafall however being a surprisingly quick thinker ducked from Trigon's grab, and slid her right foot to Trigon's legs. And then instantly froze Trigon's body inside a giant ice geyser that covered the entire half side of the barrier. A tip of the ice crystal from the geyser even pierced through the barrier. Serafall glared at the frozen form of Trigon, although then widened her eyes and instantly leaped back.

As waves of red dark light emerged all around the ice, and exploded in a sheer force of power. It was raining ice crystals, and standing there smirking was Trigon brushing off some ice from his shoulder. "Not bad, not bad at all. I didn't expect you doing this well against my spirit form, considering it has half of my full power. You really have earned your title as the mightiest female devil. I the great and mighty Trigon acknowledge this. You should feel honored, it will look great on your grave stone." Trigon smirked as he stretched both his hands out to the side and flames erupted up around them.

The barrier couldn't take it much more, and if it broke everyone in the town would die. Serafall didn't know what to do, she clenched her fists in frustration. Although then to both of their surprise a serpent like dragon made out of water crashed into Trigon. Making steam rise from his heated body from the water. They both looked behind them to see the youngest of the Sitri siblings, Sona.

"Sona! No get out of here!" Serafall screamed in horror as Trigon raised his hand towards Sona, although then various cuts appeared on his body and dark energy squirted out like blood from him.

Steam Manipulation!

Trigon looked up to see the Sitri heir and the middle child, Itachi having infused his own power into Sona's attack and manipulated the water particles Trigon breathed in from the steam.

Extinguished Star!

A sphere of destruction with a dark red aura was thrown towards Trigon, pulling him in like vortex. As Rias also had appeared on the battlefield, Trigon was pulled towards the sphere, his feet dragging up the ground. "Enough games!" Trigon roared although was then struck by lighting and a blue fire, and tentacles of flesh erupted form the ground grabbing a hold of him. As Eto, Akeno and Kuroka used all the power they had left. Trying to push Trigon into the sphere at the same time.

And something else wrapped around his body, strings, making it harder for him to breakthrough as Damian used his Sacred Gear to hold Trigon down. "Now Jack! I don't know if I can hold him much longer!" Damian shouted as the little assassin leaped over Trigon with her hands stretched out.

Rebellion!

Seven holy swords were created and swung into Trigon's body, making him roar in pain from the holy energy going into his demonic spirit body. Swords also stabbed up from the ground and into his body, as Kiba had used his Sword Birth. "Pests!" Trigon shot a beam of lasers from his eyes.

Mirror Alice!

A mirror formed in front of the beams, and reflected them right back at Trigon, as Tsubaki used her Sacred Gear. "Argh!" Trigon shook his head as he was blinded from his own blast.

"Lady Serafall, charge up the strongest one shot attack you got, we'll keep him occupied." Little Bob said while holding a box that contained the shy whimpering vampire boy Gasper.

"You, the mightiest among demons? Although that may be true, you are still no match for us." A voice booming with pride reached Trigon's ears, as Harry stood before him while wielding the flame sword of pride. He had entered his balance breaker Flames of Pride, and generated all the power he had into the tip of the sword creating a giant blazing ball of fire. "Hn!" Harry threw the fireball into Trigon pushing him right into Rias' sphere Extinguished Star, that together generated such a powerful explosion, that the light from it lit up the whole town.

When the smoke cleared, it revealed Trigon, his spirit body healing its injuries while growling like a mad dog as he was starting to feel annoyed. "I will destroy this entire country! You all shall perish!" Trigon declared as his body was letting out a powerful aura, and the ground was shaking along with the heavens. Red lighting flickered around the demon beast as he let out a mighty roar.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Trigon was blasted by a wave of dark energy in the shape of a giant raven, engulfing him up in the energy from his own daughter.

"Try all you want… you won't be able to keep me trapped here my dearest Raven!" Trigon released an explosion of energy around his body, blasting the darkness away. 'Those damn faction leaders, the rift is almost sealed up! I need to get ahold of Raven and now!' Trigon growled although he was met by an ice blue colored fire, generating around Serafall.

Serafall had her magical girl wand raised, and glared at Trigon while blood dripped from her lips, and her magical girl outfit looking torn. The entire space around them lit up in the shade of blue from these flames. Serafall generated the flames into the tip of her magical girl staff. "What is this? Those flames… they make me feel cold…" Trigon uttered in awe at these flames.

Super Blazing Blizzard

Serafall sent one last glare at Trigon, whom generated as much hellfire around his spirit body as he could. Serafall sent the blue ice fire ball flying into Trigon, it blew up right into his chest sending him stepping back a few steps. He looked confused as he hardly felt it. "Was that supposed to hurt?" Trigon smirked, although the smirk faded as ice started to grow out from his chest, and started at alarming speed covering his entire body. "Nooooo!" Trigon's scream of anger could be heard all over the battlefield, and it only stopped once his face was also frozen into solid ice.

"Super Blazing Blizzard… is a magic spell designed to freeze anything it touches. It might not hurt when it hits you, but when it does you are finished as it not only freezes your body, but it freezes the magic power within one's body as well. It is limited to my own amount of magic however, so if you have more magic power than I do then you will survive. The only two people I have fought to have survived this, are Sirzechs-chan and Ajuka-chan as their magic powers are much greater than my own. If you had your full power, you would have survived as well, but if you are only equal to me or less, this spell will still finish you off." Serafall explained as Trigon's entire body was frozen in solid blue ice that shattered in an instant, along with Trigon's spirit body spreading out like dust into the wind. Meanwhile, Sirzechs and the other faction leaders managed to close up the rift.

Serafall then fell to her knees, panting and sweating having used up all her power into that last attack. "Nee-san." Itachi went to his older sister's side, supporting her up.

"The downside is, that it is only a one-shot move… I can only use that move once, then I am out of juice. So, if it misses, I am finished." Serafall gave a light chuckle seeing as it was all over, she then looked over at Itachi and beamed with a smile while giving him the peace sign. "Heheh! How about that It-tan, So-tan, your nee-san is amazing, right?"

Itachi smiled seeing as it was all over, they deserved to rest. "I have always known you were amazing, nee-san." Itachi declared to which Serafall gave him a little kiss on the cheek.

"You're such a sweet little boy, It-tan! Onee-chan really loves you!" Serafall went back from acting like a badass one-woman army, to being the overbearing loving sister she usually is.

Itachi sweat dropped a little at his sister's behavior, although he still smiled at her. "Yeah, yeah, I love you too nee-san, as a brother of course." Itachi felt like he needed to add that considering how Serafall usually is.

"Boo! It-tan is such a tsundere, just like So-tan…" Serafall wrapped her right arm around Itachi's neck, and her left around Sona and pulled them both in for a hug. Serafall's smile softened as she savored this sibling hug, while Sona looked a little embarrassed, and Itachi just smiled happily. "… but that's what makes you two so adorable. I truly love both of you, you know."

"I don't know how I feel about being called adorable at my age, but we both love you too nee-san, right Sona?" Itachi looked towards the embarrassed blushing Sona.

"Mmm, yes…" Sona mumbled yet they heard her none the less.

The dust of the battle had settled, Trigon's forces had been defeated. The peerage of Itachi, Rias, and Sona gathered to be healed, all having been either heavily beaten by Trigon's forces, the Hydra, or the Lord of Purgatory himself. Most of the Faction leaders had left, Barakiel was the first one to leave, feeling conflicted about confronting his daughter Akeno.

"Ah, I'm beat…" Bob fell over, having fought the most intense battle of his life. He was so exhausted, that his broken arm, and bruised up bloodied body, didn't even seem to bother him at this point. For a mere few seconds that is, then the pain came rushing back like wildfire. "Argh!" Bob screamed in pain, every time he moved even a muscle everything would start to hurt. "Holy hell! Everything hurts… everything hurts…"

Out from his little box peeked Gasper, trembling in fear of being outside. "I'm sorry for being a burden… I'm sorry…" Gasper went back to cry in his box for having been too terrified to help. Well, that and he can't control his powers.

"Damn, that Hydra monster really did a number on ya!" Damian gave a light laugh at seeing Bob screaming in pain, trying to turn the mood around.

"The Hydra?! I fought against an entire army! And had to hold of that Trigon on top of it!" Bob retorted.

"Huh, never seen you this full with energy in your petite state." Eto commented also looking down on the little Bob wailing in pain.

"Will any of you help me?" Bob asked, why he wondered when he knew the answer.

"Sorry, no healing abilities to help others." Eto playfully smiled at him while holding up a peace sign.

"Ditto!" Damian smirked.

"Speaking of the Hydra, what happened to it?" Eto asked, seeing as it just vanished from the battlefield.

"Oh, I have it right here." Raven replied, opening a portal where out fell a chibi version of the Hydra monster. They all stared at her with deadpan expressions, wondering if that was really the same giant monster they fought. Raven just gave them a stoic relaxed look, followed by a relaxed tone. "Whenever he needs to heal, he tends to turn small. It speeds up the healing process."

"Should we really let that thing live?" Damian questioned eying the cute little three headed pet sized Hydra.

"Hydra's are usually only dangerous if they have a dangerous master. With Trigon back in Purgatory, this little guy has no master anymore." Raven looked down onto the little Hydra in her hands, seeing it sniffing her. "Hydra's are very loyal creatures, which is why they require a master and they will follow them without question." The Hydra after getting comfortable with Raven's scent, began nuzzling up against her.

"Hn, seems he found himself a new master." Itachi commented and gave a light smile at it, the Hydra must have accepted Raven after losing to her in battle to be worthy of being its master.

Raven looked down on the creature, not showing a single trace of emotion on her face, to keep her powers in check. The Hydra looks back at her, tilting all three heads sideways. Raven carefully reached out and scratched all three heads under the chin, to which it let out some small happy noises. "Hn." Raven smiled a little bit at the creature.

"… Is that really the same Hydra?" Damian glared at the beast with suspicion, to which it spitted out a tiny ball of energy to his face. "Argh! My eyes! My eyes!" Damian rolled around on the ground, while rubbing his eyes.

"Heh, yeah, that's the same Hydra alright." Bob commented with a light chuckle at seeing Damian in pain.

"So cute." Eto petted the middle head of the Hydra.

Everyone lined up to be healed by Grayfia, and some other maids with healing magic. Itachi stood in the back of the line, not being as injured as the rest thanks to Raven healing him earlier. And beside him stood Raven, looking towards Itachi with a look of curiosity. "Why did you do it?" Raven asked, gaining his attention. "Why did you let yourself get that hurt because of me? Even if Trigon had reached his full power, Sirzechs Lucifer and the rest of the Faction Leaders could have killed him. So why did you risk yourself like that?"

"Because if I wouldn't, a lot of innocent people would die." Itachi honestly replied, as if Trigon had reached full power not only those precious to him, but hundreds of people could have died.

"Not really something a devil would normally say." Raven commented.

"Heh, perhaps not your average normal devil. But you know, I think being normal is overrated. Also, instead of inflicting pain and sorrow… I wished to help people for once." Itachi muttered that last part under his breath, as memories of past sins replayed in his mind. "So, I didn't do it just for you, but for everyone even myself."

Raven looked pleased at that honest answer. "Do you blame me for all of this?" Raven asked as she had received a few dirty looks from the soldiers who fought, and lost comrades. Heck, Kuroka even gave her a dirty look, but that was more out of frustration and fear for the safety of the one she loved. And Raven knew that.

"Why should I blame someone for trying to escape terror itself? Everyone has a right to try and pursue their dreams and happiness. That is what I believe. If you had come here to release your father to bring destruction, then it would have been a different story. But fact is, you merely tried to escape from a nightmare. Scared, alone, lost, yet you still tried to help. I couldn't possibly have a reason to blame you for all of this." Itachi answered with an honest smile, as he gave her a light pat on the head.

Raven stared in awe for a few seconds, before calming her emotions. "I see. I appreciate your honesty. Can I just ask you of one more thing?"

"Sure, ask away."

"Would you allow me to join your peerage?" Raven asked to which Itachi looked a little taken aback, clearly not expecting that question. Raven seeing this, decided to explain her reasons. "Despite your words, I still feel like I owe it up to you. For protecting me and everything. That and I don't really have anywhere else to go in this new world."

Itachi regained his composure, getting over the shock. "Are you sure? I can't guarantee things will be easy for you." Itachi looked serious, knowing that Raven will probably get a bad reputation in the underworld, and with the current growing conflict with the old Maou Faction things could get dangerous.

"I know, and I don't care. If there is a fight, I will fight right beside you. As thanks for protecting me, and for helping so that I wouldn't have been at fault for bringing the end of the world with me." Raven replied, with a tiny smile, and a look of strong determination in her eyes.

Itachi returned the smile and held out his hand, summoning forth two glowing blue bishop pieces. "I hereby reincarnate thy, Raven, into the honored household of Sitri." Itachi began chanting, to which everyone looked over in shock. "As the heir of the Sitri household, ranked Prince, I reincarnate you as my bishop." A strong blue light emitted from the bishop pieces, as both mutated before merging with Raven's body. Once the light died down, Itachi smiled at Raven and put his hand on her right shoulder. "Welcome to my family, Raven."

Itachi and Raven went over to his other peerage members, and they all welcomed Raven with open arms. "Yo, glad to have you onboard!" Damian smiled giving Raven a light pat on the back.

"If mama approves, we approve." Jack declared.

"Welcome, and yeah, we are all a bunch of wierdos so you will fit right in." Eto jokingly greeted.

"Wierdos?" Raven raised a brow over being grouped in like that.

"I would shake your hand to greet you, but I'm in tremendous pain. Anyway, welcome to the group…" Bob uttered while being held by Tsubasa until it was his turn to get healed.

"Hn, welcome miss Raven." Harry huffed while giving an approving nod.

The last was Kuroka, whom blushed a little while fidgeting a bit. "Yeah, umm, welcome. And sorry, for earlier…" Kuroka scratched her cheek, thinking back on when Raven tried to heal Itachi and Kuroka exploded out of rage and frustration, blaming Raven for what happened. She of course didn't really mean it, she was just letting out some steam.

"Hn, thanks." Raven nodded in appreciation of being accepted into the group.

"Well, guess we'll give her one of the guest rooms." Sona joined in on welcoming the newest addition to her brother's peerage.

"Mm, if you don't have any stuff, we can go shopping tomorrow." Rias nodded also welcoming inn their new companion. Raven looked a bit taken aback over being this welcomed. While they were at it, they also made the Hydra into Raven's familiar, then Raven sent it back into her pocket dimension.

Azazel walked up to Sirzechs, and stood there admiring the view of Itachi and his friends gathered around celebrating their victory. "You know, that Itachi's peerage is a strange bunch." Azazel commented.

"How so?" Sirzechs gave a raised brow at the comment.

"Well, first of there is Bob. The man with the legendary sloth based magic Storage Magic, and is said to have been such a sloth that he hurt a fellow child at the orphanage, by accident with his powers." They looked towards the petite little Bob getting his turn on the healing. "Harry Newgate, a man so proud that he went against his commanding officer's orders multiple times during the war to save his comrades. And of course, stems from the legendary proud Newgate bloodline."

"Azazel, may I ask you how you got all this intel on Itachi-kun's peerage?" Sirzechs interrupted the Fallen Angel Governor, finding it a bit suspicious.

"Oh, what? A guy can't do research on interesting people?" Azazel then went on to continue. "Kuroka, said to have lusted for power to such an extent that she killed her previous master, although that case was cleared up by you. Lots of noble devils still despises her for killing a pure blood." Sirzechs sighed getting a little headache remembering all the work he and the other Maous had to go through, when Itachi tried to clear Kuroka's name. "Jack the Ripper, a being combined of all the aborted children from prostitutes from London. Said to be filled with such rage and wrath, that she went on a killing spree, earning her the title the second Jack the Ripper. The one behind her creation still remains unknown."

"Well, we have our suspects on that one…" Sirzechs commented to which Azazel smirked, being well aware.

"Damian, said to be filled with such greed, that he went after multiple crime organizations to steal their money. But it was never enough, he kept going on raid after raid on the mob, even killed a lot of them for the bounty. Bragging of his skills, and powers, caused the mob to take action and kill his wife. Which caused him to have a certain rule, never kill anyone whom has true loved ones that will mourn them when they are gone. Lessened his workload, true, but with his abilities he still had enough to live by." Azazel then eyed the half ghoul Eto, his eyes filled with distrust and suspicion. "And perhaps the greatest wildcard in his peerage, Eto Yoshimura, known as the One-Eyed Owl. Filled with such envy and hate towards ghouls and humans alike, she was even willing to begin a war between the two races." Then he looked towards the newest member. "Then we have Raven, said to have hungered for knowledge of her origin and father, that she opened a portal for Trigon to which he annihilated the people of Azarath."

"Well, I suppose they all have unique traits." Sirzechs agreed.

"Yes, however, they all seem to share traits of the seven deadly sins. Sloth, Pride, Lust, Wrath, Greed, Envy and Gluttony. Seven representatives of the seven sins, all brought together by one man. Heh, and they certainly proved their abilities today. And it might be a good nickname for the group, The Seven Deadly Sins. And Itachi being a devil is already a sinner in the eyes of the Lord. And he brought the seven of them together, and lead them to this point. What do you think would be an appropriate nickname for him?" Azazel looked like he gave this some serious thought.

"The Sinner?" Sirzechs suggested.

"Hmm, not bad… but Itachi seems like a simpler guy. How about, The Captain of the Sins?" Azazel suggested and they both hummed, liking the idea.

"Why not both?" Sirzechs asked to which Azazel nodded.

"Mm, yes, perfect."

Their thoughts on nicknames for Itachi's group were interrupted, as the man Itachi himself fell over unconscious. "Itachi-sama!" Kuroka rushed to her master's aid. Before everyone began surrounding him, Raven placed her palm over his forehead and began chanting while her eyes glowed purple.

Raven let out a small sigh, and gave a little smile to the group. "He is unconscious from mental exhaustion. A little rest and he will be fine." Raven assured everyone to which they all looked relieved. Although, something seemed to bother Raven, she hid her face from the others so it wouldn't show.

Flashback

Back when she was healing Itachi's injuries something strange happened. Raven kept chanting, letting out a purple light that engulfed Itachi healing his cuts and injuries. Although she couldn't heal the scar Trigon gave Itachi with his blade, so Itachi would have a scar across his chest from now on, nothing too serious.

Although, what Raven saw, or rather felt in Itachi's mind was the problem. She felt every possible emotion, exploding at her at once. In particular, hatred, anger, angst, worry, fear, guilt, but biggest of all love. Raven saw an image from within Itachi's mind, a red and white fan symbol decorated on a stone wall, the sound of a scream, and the fan symbol getting stained in blood. Raven was prevented from feeling and seeing more however, as Itachi's strong will and mind pushed her out of his mind.

Raven let out a gasp and fell backwards, and Itachi was completely healed minus the scar across his chest. Itachi picked himself up, felt out the weight of his body, he didn't feel any physical pain, he truly had been healed. He then helped pick Raven up, and leaned in close to her. "I felt you going through my mind… not a pleasant feeling." Itachi whispered so that only Raven could hear him.

"Sorry, it wasn't on purpose. I can't control my powers sometimes." Raven whispered back, she truly didn't mean to dig into his mind. Although she had to admit, she was curious what that image was. Itachi helped her up and looked into her eyes, her face was dead of any emotion, and her eyes were mostly as well. But there was a tiny glimmer of emotion in her eyes that Itachi picked up on. Seeing that she truly felt bad about accidentally seeing through Itachi's mind.

"Thank you." Itachi smiled, and thanked her for healing him, as well as assuring her that he wasn't upset. "Everyone, let's head out. Nee-san might be powerful enough to stop Trigon, but I'm not willing to take any chances. Let's go and aid her to end this whole mess." Itachi ordered and they all moved out to the frontlines, now with only Trigon left of his army there wasn't that much danger on the battlefield. The petite little Bob, grabbed onto a box containing Gasper.

Before Raven took off Itachi halted her. "Wait, how much did you see?" Itachi asked.

"Not much, I mostly just felt it, a surge of powerful and strong emotions coming down on me like a waterfall. I saw an image of a red and white fan symbol, I heard a scream, and saw the symbol stained in blood. What was that?" Raven asked as Itachi seemed a little relived that she didn't see more.

"…Nothing of importance anymore. Just a nightmare." Itachi replied and moved onto the battlefield, and Raven quickly followed. If Itachi didn't want to talk about it, she would respect that.

Flashback end

Raven stepped aside as Harry threw Itachi over his shoulder, leaving him hanging like a piece of meat. "Let's get the boy home, he has earned his rest."

"Ah! It-tan! Onee-chan will come and look after you!" Serafall rushed after the group, and Sona rushed after her sister so that she wouldn't do anything weird to Itachi while he was unconscious.

The only one whom remained behind, were Grayfia, the rest of Sirzech's peerage and a few other devils to rebuild the ruined Kuoh Academy. Esdeath and Behemoth also sat in the background helping in rebuilding as well. Then there was Azazel, Michael and Sirzechs discussing on what to do next. And to Sirzechs' surprise, Rias stayed behind as well.

Once his discussion with Azazel and Michael were over, he went over to his younger sister feeling she wanted to talk to him. "Ria-tan, what's wrong?" Sirzechs asked with a goofy smile over getting to chance to help out his dearest little sister. Rias cringed a little from Sirzechs' expression, and let out a sigh.

"Onii-sama… this isn't easy for me to ask… but." Rias gulped down while her body trembled a little. 'You can do it Rias, just swallow your damn pride and ask him… do it for Itachi!' Rias thought and clapped her hands into her cheeks, shocking Sirzechs a little. "Onii-sama!"

"Ah! Y-Yes?" Sirzechs was taken aback by the sudden volume increase in her voice.

"Please train me!" Rias bowed respectfully, leaving a stunned and surprised Sirzechs.

"R-Rias-chan… what did you just say…?"

"Mmm, I asked you to please train me!" Rias repeated herself, much to her embarrassment.

"Eh?" Sirzechs blinked his eyes as he heard right the first time. "EHHHHHHH?!" Once Sirzechs got over the shock, tears started to swell in his eyes, and he embraced Rias in a brotherly hug. "Waaah! My Ria-tan is so grown up and adorable! Onii-chan is really proud right now! Someone, quickly find a video camera!"

Rias gained thick marks on her forehead, getting annoyed at her brother's behavior. "Geez, give it a rest already! And take this seriously for once!" Rias scolded.

Sirzechs sweat dropped and held his hands up. "Right, right, right, sorry. But may I ask what brought this on?"

Rias looked down with a sorrowful look, as she remembered seeing Itachi getting beaten and battered by Trigon. "It was so frustrating… watching Itachi risk his life like that. I don't wish to be a burden to him, and I don't wish to be some damsel in distress for him to save. I want to be there with him, on the battlefield, I want to be able to save him if needed." Rias declared, to which Sirzechs smiled as today seemed to have woken something within Rias, and she had gained a will to grow stronger.

Sirzechs beamed with pride over his sister. "Very well, I will gladly help you train every now and then when I have time."

"Don't go easy on me okay?! Give me the same training schedule you went though at my age!" Rias declared to which Sirzechs looked a little worried, he sweated a little remembering his old training schedule which even Serafall called hellish back when they were kids.

"Umm, that might be too much for you-"

"Onii-sama, I'm not a little kid anymore." Rias gave him a dead serious glare to which Sirzechs widened his eyes. For once not seeing Rias as a little girl, but a young woman.

"I understand. But don't come crying if it gets too rough for you." Sirzechs accepted her terms.

"I won't, I promise." Rias declared, a fiery determination burning in her eyes unlike anything Sirzechs had seen in a long time.

'Itachi-kun, you sure are lucky.' Sirzechs thought, smiling warmly at these young ones. 'They are the future of the devil race.'

Later That Night

It seemed unbelievable, the battle was over, a battle that seemed that it would bring the end of the world with it. Miraculously, there were very few casualties, and luckily no one amongst our group. Although there were several cases where it became a close call. Itachi had fallen unconscious, from mental exhaustion after the battle.

While Itachi was resting in his own room, some of the girls were gathered around, trying to decide who would look after Itachi while he was asleep. Rias ended up being the lucky winner. She went into his dark room, and looked over his resting body. He was sweating a little, and breathing a little heavily. Rias gently put her hand over his forehead, feeling that he had a little fewer, she placed a cold towel over his forehead.

They were all worried about him, after having witnessed all that beating he took from Trigon. "We all hope that you wake up soon… everyone is a little worried about you. It would help them a lot seeing you back up on your feet again." Rias uttered while gently holding onto his big strong hand, her soft delicate hands gently rubbing up against his. "I know it would to me…" Tears started rolling down her cheeks, her body quivering. "It's so frustrating… having to sit back and watch while you fight to stay alive, fighting for everyone's lives. But that is going to change, I refuse to sit in the backseat any longer, instead I will be right there with you on the frontlines." She tightened her grip a little around Itachi's hand, and then to her surprise felt him squeeze a little back.

She looked up to his face, seeing him slowly opening his eyes. The moment he sat back up, she jumped him in a hug. "I'm glad… I'm glad you are awake. I was so scared… scared from seeing you that beaten up. To me, you have always seemed invincible since childhood. Seeing you like that just… was too much for me."

Itachi then did something Rias really hadn't expected, he gently pushed her back, and then planted a kiss on her lips. She widened her eyes as it was like time itself froze, these mere few seconds seemed like an eternity for her. Itachi then broke free from the kiss, and her cheeks were slightly red while her wide blue sparkly eyes stared at him in bewilderment.

"Sorry, I just couldn't hold myself back there for a moment." Itachi uttered as he backed away just a little, his bangs covering his eyes. "You weren't the only one who was scared. You have no idea how worried I was, when I saw you fight that Hydra with the others. Seeing you beaten up from that Hydra… And how I couldn't stop thinking after I lost to Trigon, that everything was over. I was afraid, afraid that I would lose all of you to that monster. I felt so helpless in not being able to stop him." Itachi remembers that terrifying smirk on that four eyes demon, and thinking images of them all suffering the wrath of the Lord of Purgatory.

"Itachi… everything's okay. We won." Rias embraced him in a hug, still slightly taken aback by that surprise kiss.

"Heh, sorry. If it had been Akeno or Kuroka, I probably would have done the same if they were here instead." Itachi said referring to the kiss, he looked a little ashamed of himself in fact. "That probably makes me a bad person… no, it does."

"Well… not really if you consider your biology." Rias pointed out.

"Hn, guess so… still doesn't fit my personality I believe." Itachi gave a weak little chuckle. "Even if all male devils are naturally born with the need or instinct, to have as many children as possible to pass on their genes." Itachi remembered how shocked he was at discovering this, about his devil biology. This instinct is naturally born within all male devils, which is the main reason many male high-ranking devils result in creating harems, it could be described to be similar to lions and their prides. To pass on as much of their noble genes as possible. One might think the devil birth rate would be quite stable because of this. Wrong, because in return, female devils have a difficult time getting pregnant, in fact if a couple of devils manages to get three or four children, it is considered a miracle.

"Mmm, I agree, it is kind of stupid. But that's how it is." Rias laid her head resting on his shoulder, while moving her finger clockwise around his palm. "So, umm, that kiss earlier… what was the meaning behind it?"

"I told you. It was a result of my worry for you, and I just couldn't hold myself back." Itachi replied to which Rias gave his wrist a little pinch.

"You know what I mean."

"… Then you know the answer."

"I do, I just want to hear the words coming out from your mouth." Rias gave him a little teasingly smile, he remained stoic however, and didn't seem to budge.

"I love you." Itachi openly admitted, his face didn't show much emotion, but the emotion was there. In his eyes and behind his words, those he couldn't hide.

"One more." Rias nuzzled up against him, looking comfortable as she smiled warmly.

"I love you." Itachi repeated, although then his look turned serious. "But… I don't deserve you."

Rias then looks up at him with a confused look, a look that asked why he would possibly think that. "What makes you think that?"

"All I can say is… I have some, personal issues, some inner demons." Itachi replied, and although Rias wanted to push for more of an answer than that, she saw the look in his eyes and knew it would be impossible to get anything more out of him. "However, once I resolve these issues…" Itachi wrapped his hand around the back of her head, and gently pulled Rias in, placing her forehead up against his, while looking into her eyes, smiling. "Then nothing could hold me back."

Rias then blushed a little more, and then Itachi pulled back while smiling seeing that stunned look on her face. "Umm, well, maybe we should tell the others you are awake. They are all worried about you after all…" Rias uttered.

"Sounds like a plan." Itachi and Rias headed out to the others, all immediately surrounding him asking him how he was feeling. Itachi calmed them all down by saying he had never felt better. Then they began celebrating their victory over Trigon and his forces, as well for Itachi's newest Peerage member Raven.

The next day

The sun shined, signifying a new day. All the damages left from the overnight war against Trigon a few days ago had been rebuilt, and everything appeared to be as normal. The entire academy rebuilt, and the students walked into the academy like nothing happened.

Rias and Itachi walked past the school gate, for once almost having been late. As Itachi had trouble sleeping after the long battle last night, and Rias had managed to win the honor of looking after him this morning. "The others should already be in class, you okay?" Rias looked at Itachi, a little worried since Itachi still hadn't fully mentally recovered from the battle.

"It was only a nightmare… I'm fine." Itachi replied as he had a nightmare about Trigon coming back and killing everyone he loved, saving him for last to witness all of it and then tearing him apart limb from limb once his spirit was broken.

"You woke up acting like the battle was still ongoing." Rias pointed out and gently placed her hand over his forehead. "You had a little fever this morning, sure you're okay going to school?" Rias looked like a worried housewife looking after her husband.

"… I'm fine, okay." Itachi gave her a smile to assure her, gently taking her hand of his forehead, holding her hand with both his hands. "Are you okay though? You seem to be getting ahead of yourself after just one kiss." Itachi teased her to show her he was just fine. Rias blushed at that, remembering how Itachi surprised her by giving her a kiss last night.

"Th-That was… umm…" Rias couldn't find the right words and merely stuttered, her face flushed red to which Itachi gave a light chuckle. "H-Hey, don't laugh." Rias pouted.

"Sorry, sorry." Itachi still chuckled a little. He couldn't hold back his feelings that night, after witnessing everyone even Rias looked so beaten. He remembered feeling so relieved seeing her fine and in good health, that he kissed her without even thinking. If only he could feel like he deserved such love, he always felt like he lost the right to true love when he killed Izumi in his previous life. And Rias reminding him of Izumi didn't help him getting over the guilt. "Shall we go to class?" Itachi let go of her hand and walked in to the school building, Rias smiled and quickly followed.

As they walked in, three figures went past the gate. Three boys, and the one in the middle took in a deep breath. "We made it guys! The utopia of all young men!" A young man with brown hair and eyes smirked, he wore the normal male school uniform, only with his shirt open with a red T-shirt underneath.

"With a ratio of 80% female and 20% male of the student body, our chances of getting girls are pretty high!" The young man to the right straightened his glasses, his short black hair blowing in the wind.

"Once we walk past these gates, we will be a step closer to our dream…" The one to the left, was a young man with a shaved head. These two also wore the male school uniform.

"Matsuda, Motohama…" The middle one uttered.

""Mm, Issei."" The other two nodded.

"Time to begin our route to get our very own harem!" The boys shamelessly cheered, ignoring the nasty looks they got from the girls. All women at Kuoh Academy beware, the perverted trio is here!

That's the end for now!

So, I know a lot of you wanted Itachi to probably beat Trigon. But you know what, half power or full power, it is still too early for Itachi to beat a godlike being like Trigon. I mean, the guy is practically Satan. And I figured since Trigon only had half his full power in his spirit form, it would be a perfect opportunity for Serafall to show off, along with a few others. And I assure you, this is not the last we've seen of Trigon.

And, thanks to this battle with Trigon, Rias has swallowed her pride and requested training from her brother Sirzechs. I think this is a huge step for her development and relationship with Itachi.

And yes, Issei will be in the story, even though some of you requested I don't include him. I'm going to say this though, he won't play that much of a big role later on, maybe a little bit in the Raynare arc. The biggest thing he will have going for him, is his rivalry with Vali, and relationship with like Asia. And steadily he will change due to the influence of others like Itachi, Itachi's peerage members etc.

Anyway, leave a review!

-Later

(responds to reviews):

Sultan Asil Arslan: Raven is Gluttony, as for her sin is that she hungered for knowledge about her origin. So, upon trying to discover this she accidentally summoned Trigon to Azarath killing everyone there with the exception of her.

LatinStoryteller: I certainly will try my best.

TehStorm: Thanks, although sorry. I had to make Trigon a threat, but not that much of a threat so Sirzechs didn't get to see any action. And it is still too early for Itachi to awaken his Mangekyou, considering how easily he would be able to dispose of the future enemies in the upcoming arcs.

seant5054: No, sorry.

LeonSith11: No, sorry.

EmilyGonzalez: Thank you!

Rain Sennin: Thanks, and things will certainly be interesting when we reach cannon. Planned out a good portion of it so far. As for your question, Itachi won't always be focusing on his ice powers. And I just realized I hadn't put that much focus onto his genjutsu until now. But that is because I wanted him to explore his new arsenal of abilities. And the main reason Itachi is at his current level despite the training, was because mastering a new energy source would be difficult at first. Plus he was interested in learning more abilities than just his demonic powers, such as senjutsu and touki. Making him focus more on learning rather than building up, if that makes any sense. And sometimes Sona, Rias and especially Serafall would cut into his training time for "playtime" as one would say. He is currently a Satan Class level fighter at this point, so around Shalba and Kokabiel's level. But with his brain and mastermind thinking he could defeat some stronger opponents, just not a Demonic God of destruction like Trigon XD.

NightRogue00: No, sorry.

Senritran19: You want, but I don't. Sorry. Yasaka sure is popular XD

doc1121: Now? No. Later in the story? Heck yeah!

: Now would be too early, although at some point Trigon will definitely return, so the chances for it in the future are quite high.

andresskorskiruiz: Thanks! And Esdeath's past after the events of Akame Ga Kill will definitely be explored more at some point.

Mr. Haziq: Pretty much.

Natsu325: Interesting suggestion, but sorry, I don't think so.

merendinoemiliano: Thank you!

Sento Bloodrive: Sorry but no, even if I would be the first, still no.

youngdrgn: You are welcome!

mirajanestrauss489: Thanks! And we'll see, if not I have a reserve pair for Esdeath.

Lelouch of Zero: Thank you very much.

Guest: No reason. I just forgot when it ended.

Guest-Questioner: Thank you. As for Kunou, use the anime one I suppose. Or do whatever you want. And for Raven's model, it's like whatever to me, I would say the young justice one.

Ryner510: Yeah, as we all saw it, it didn't happen XD still kinda too early.

Akuma-Heika: You are welcome, and I will take that into consideration.

RedBurningDragon: They would, if they weren't so scared of him. In this world, every supernatural being fears Trigon. With the exception of a very few selective individuals. Sirzechs, Ajuka, Hades, Ophis etc.

Rigald02: True, but he was still often very quiet and didn't display much emotion during those peaceful days. And after everything that happened to him, I imagine he would have a rather hard time opening up, or at least be wary of how much he opens up. And it is Ban from Nanatsu no Taizai Damian is based off of. And fair point with Jack, I should have written it to be a mutated piece from the beginning. And I can see Itachi marrying Rias and taking over the Gremory household, while Sona took over the Sitri household. And Esdeath, let's just say certain incidents caused her to act less brutal. Although I would say a certain moment in this chapter showed her brutal side.

hahaminato: Too early, too early, I will happen though eventually.

Sadness is power: Shit, I have corrected it.

Thunderbird29: What about what happened in this chapter? Did you see that coming?

Harambe: True that.

Guest: Thanks.

kemb92: He isn't exactly being dominated by the girls here. Just struggling with his inner demons and whatnot.

SuperSoldier97: Thanks! And although that would be awesome, I am saving that battle for another time when Trigon makes his return at some point.

Dat boi: Thanks.

Raven Mordrake: I have, and I have one planned.

Guest: Yeah, well, it is how it is. Although no more crossovers will appear.

Problemchild667: Thank you!

RollingFire: Thank you, I will try better.

TorrentAB: His genjutsu will be more in use from now on, just wanted him to explore his new set of abilities first.

TeraBaapBSDK: …?

keybladelight: Thanks. And I will continue A Fresh Start, just have to get in contact with my co-writer and get out of a little writers block.

Chronosign: Thanks, Issei will be here sorry XD The Uchiha curse is something to fear indeed. And that is whom I inspired Bob from, and a little from All Might. Jack and Koneko do look a little alike. Yeah, wouldn't it be crazy, if Ajuka did… something like that… Ah shit, how did they know! JK, who know, we'll see.

Guest: I will think about it.
