31. Feelings of a Wicked Love!

Chapter 31: Feelings of a Wicked Love!

The Dimensional Gap, a deep endless void, currently the home of one of the mightiest beings in all of existence, Great Red. Traveling within the iridescent colored void of nothingness, within a bubble of light were Vali Lucifer and members of his team, Arthur, Bikou, and Amon. The bubble is all that shielded them from the effects of this void, without it or any other form of magical or demonic protection they would have died within seconds from being exposed to the nothingness.

"Any signs of it?" Bikou yawned as he sat there in the bubble, looking bored.

"Not yet, we need to leave soon however. The shield is about to come down…" Arthur tried his best to hold the shield up with the use of his Excalibur.

"Wait, I think I see something up ahead?" Vali pointed out as if something appeared before their eyes. "… Isn't that one of the Gremory bunch?"

At this Amon's head perked up, and looked in the same direction as Vali. The Angel of Death's gaze landing upon the form of Asia Argento. "… That girl?" Amon mumbled to himself, trying to recall if he had ever seen this girl. It didn't take Amon long to recognize Asia. Amon recognized her as the girl who couldn't stop crying in panic after learning of the death of God of the Bible. The girl who had healed him and brought him back from his comatose state. The girl Kokabiel said Raynare had tormented and attempted to steal her Sacred Gear to revive him. 'This girl, my family has caused her so much pain… even caused her death.'

"What's wrong Amon?" Vali sees the troubled look on his comrade's face, but before he can get a respond from Amon. Amon just flies out from the bubble. "Amon! Get back here! You won't survive out there!" Vali warned. Amon however, ignored the pain of the void, and lifted Asia into his arms. Amon then quickly flew Asia into the bubble.

"What the heck?! You could have died!" Bikou scolded Amon.

"I had to… I owe her." Amon simply replied, he then looked to Arthur. "Get us out of here…"

"Alright, I will return the girl to her comrades." Arthur gave the Angel of Death a simple nod, as he opened a portal within the gate. They exited the Gap, and before they knew it, they arrived in Kuoh town, near ruin. No, they quickly discovered it wasn't the real Kuoh town, they could tell from looking at the multicolored sky. They were in a Rating Game dimension.

"Ah, yes! Yuuma-chan!" At hearing the name of his dead younger sister, Amon froze in place while holding the unconscious Asia in his arms. Shakingly Amon looked towards the source, seeing a young devil standing before the Gremory peerage, some humans, and Rias Gremory holding onto an injured Itachi Sitri. The one who spoke his sister's name, was this young devil. "Yes, that was her name!" He spoke with a sense of nostalgia. "It was quite ironic, with Yuuma-chan being a Fallen Angel and all. Yet despite that fact, she was still quite pure and innocent, much like Asia was." The devil sounded like he was bragging.

Amon remained unmoving, hearing the humans' throwing slurs at this devil calling him psychotic and evil. 'Yuuma… how does this devil know… Yuuma?' Amon shakingly thought, deep down he felt like he knew why, but he couldn't believe it.

"Hehehe, I wonder if Asia would have had the same lovely screams as Yuuma-chan did. I can imagine Asia crying and pleading for that Issei to save her. Just like Yuuma-chan pleaded for someone to save her life… What was the name she kept saying again? Hmmm…?" At hearing this, veins starting bulging around Amon's temple. Amon slowly handed Asia over to Arthur, the Holy Sword wielder looked confused as the rest of the team, wondering what they had stumbled into.

Amon then began making his way towards this arrogant boasting devil. "What was it? Something with "A…" it's on the tip of my tongue. She pleaded quite a lot for this person to come and rescue her, but of course he never came."

At hearing this the voice of Yuuma crying out his name rang in his head. "Amon! Amon nii-chan! Help me! Amon!" Amon kept hearing it like an alarm in his head, his little sister weeping and begging for him to rescue her. Her heroic big brother coming marching in to rescue her from all danger, protecting her no matter what. A task he was meant to carry for the rest of his life, a task he failed at.

"And in the end, I broke her so much that she just laid there and took it. Then I got bored and slit her throat." The haunting image of finding Yuuma in a pool of her own blood, her face deprived of life and dried up tears running down her empty looking eyes. "But seriously, what was the name she kept saying over and over? Hmmm, A… A…"

Finally, the rage within Amon had boiled over to a breaking point, his very being trembling in anger and light beginning to emit from his body. "Amon!" Standing right behind the devil, Amon shouted in a snarling voice.

"Ah! Yes! That was it!" The devil said, before quickly realizing no one standing before him had said it. Diodora slowly turned around to face Amon. Amon got a good look of the devil that had robbed him and Raynare of their beloved Yuuma. The one who caused his life to go down a spiral.

Diodora looked on with a baffled expression. "A fallen angel?" Diodora mumbled to himself as he looked upon Amon. The Angel of Death trembling in anger as his younger sister Yuuma's killer, Diodora, stood before him. Amon snarled at the confused looking devil, having overheard every bragging word coming out from his filthy mouth on how Diodora tortured, raped and killed Yuuma.

Amon's eyes shrunken, vibrated in an uncontrollable rage. The pure image of his younger sister appearing in his mind, her innocent childlike features and smile as she ran through a field of flowers, with Amon floating above looking upon his sister with a smile. Then the image changed into the inside of a hut, rain slapping itself violently on the windows of the hut, and laying in a pool of her own blood was the lifeless body of Yuuma.

A surge of light vibrated around Amon's body, going off like sparks as his fists trembled. "Now… What the hell was that you said… About my sister Yuuma?!" Amon snarled as a wave of light exploded from his very being, the dead bodies of Diodora's peerage were reduced to ash in a mere instant.

Rias and her peerage acted quickly, Rias grabbing onto Itachi's injured body, and Kiba grabbing the unconscious Issei took a leap away from the deadly waves of light. As devils, they couldn't allow themselves to be too close to Amon right now. The humans on the other hand were safe from such angelic light. Yet the humans got the memo that this was about to turn into another battlefield, and backed away over to the Gremory group. "Who is that?" Aika gazed upon the tall angelic being that was Amon. The fallen angel stood tall at over 6 feet, compared to Diodora who was a little over 5 feet tall.

"Amon, also known as the Angel of Death… He is a Fallen Angel, and a member of Khaos Brigade. He is also the brother of Yuuma who Diodora just mentioned…" Itachi answered, to which Aika, Murayama, Katase, Matsuda and Motohama all had the same thought. 'Kill that bastard!' They all mentally cheered for this Amon to kill Diodora.

Diodora backed up in terror, feeling the sheer pressure from Amon. Diodora felt as if the pressure was on him, his chest was on fire, he couldn't breathe. Diodora trembled and sweated at feeling the sheer killing intent released by this Fallen Angel. What is more, one thing Amon said played on repat in Diodora's head. "Little sister? Y-Yuuma-chan's brother?" Diodora found himself unable to move, smoke began emitting from his body, his body felt like it was burning in the face of Amon's deadly angelic light.

Amon stepped closer to Diodora, the heat of his angelic light growing with intensity. "That's right bastard! Yuuma was my little sister!" Amon snarled at the frightened Diodora. Diodora's skin began to boil, bubbles popping on his once fair skin, it was as if his skin was melting. No, it was melting. Diodora looked in panic, as he couldn't move seeing as his feet had melted themselves into the concreate ground.

"No! No! Stay away from me!" Diodora cried out, screaming in pain and terror. His eyes filled with sheer terror as he couldn't move and escape from this painful end. This Fallen Angel filth was about to erase him out from existence with his angelic light, the mere thought terrified Diodora. Diodora in his panic attempted to blast Amon with his demonic power. A dark sickening green wave of power unleashed from Diodora into Amon, covering the Fallen Angel like a cocoon. Diodora steadied his breathing, he was still stuck in place, but now that he had bought himself some time-

A beam of light pierced the green cocoon, and in a second it was blown away by a radiating explosion of light. Amon's body was bare, with no injuries from Diodora's attempted counter attack. The flesh around Diodora's right arm began melting and dripping off, Diodora looked in terror, seeing the bone of his right forearm. "No! No! Stay away! I am Diodora Astaroth, I can't-" Diodora lost his voice, mere wheezing noises coming out from him now. Even if he wanted to scream, his vocal cords had melted to the point where he could only wheeze. "*Wheeze! *Wheeze! No… please… *Wheeze! No…" Diodora tried to punch Amon, with his fist enhanced by Ophis' snakes.

The moment Diodora's fist connected with Amon's face, it turned to ash. Gasping in terror Diodora attempted to bring out his wings and fly away, but the moment he did his wings melted off and he collapsed to the ground, as his melted legs broke in half. Diodora whimpered, wheezing as he attempted to crawl away from Amon.

Amon glared down with hatred at the pitiful form of Diodora Astaroth, Amon walked closer to Diodora, standing over him. Amon with a mighty stomp of his foot, broke Diodora's remaining arm off. All his limbs gone, Diodora couldn't move or escape. His eyes stared in terror, his white pupils beginning to emit smoke as they ignited on fire from Amon's light. His vision gone, his limbs and wings gone, his voice even gone. The once noble High-Class devil, was left growling in the dirt like a mere worm. Amon held his hand out at the pathetic Diodora. "May your soul rot for your crimes and sins. Die." Amon unleashed a mighty beam of light onto Diodora, reducing the High-Class devil's body into ashes. The ashes even burnt away as Amon's light beam turned into a gigantic light pillar that pierced the heavens.

And just like that, with one swift attack from the angered Angel of Death, Diodora Astaroth was dead. "Amon, die down the light show will ya?" A voice called out from behind, and Amon steadying his breathing lowered the light around him. With a sigh the light around Amon had died out. Amon brought his wings back into his body, and revealed the figures of Vali, Arthur and Bikou behind him. Vali holding up a barrier of sorts around them to protect himself from Amon's light.

But one thing caught the eye of the Gremory group and the humans, in Arthur's arms was the unconscious form of Asia, the blond former nun alive and well. "Asia?" Rias and the rest let out a collective gasp over seeing their comrade.

At the moment they heard Asia's name, Aika was the first to react and rushed up to these unknown assailants. "Asia!" Aika called out.

Arthur looking stoic, tosses the unconscious Asia into Aika's arms, the tiny human girl barley able to keep herself standing as she caught Asia. "We found this one in the Dimensional Gap, consider yourselves lucky we happened to stumble upon her. And also, that Amon wanted to rescue her."

Aika didn't know what this Dimensional Gap was, but she looked to the tall sturdy frame of Amon who moments ago eradicated that bastard Diodora. "Thank you." She mouthed to the Fallen Angel, who batted her a single glance.

"… I don't deserve any gratitude." Amon coldly replied, taking a moment to take in that his younger sister's killer was finally dead.

"Can I ask what brought this on? You are with Khaos Brigade are you not? So, why rescue Asia?" Rias looked at Vali and his team with suspicious glares, she had no reason to trust them, even if they did save Asia, they were still wanted terrorists.

"We serve Ophis, not the Old Maou Faction." Vali was quick to correct, seems even with the blood of the original Lucifer flowing through his veins, Vali himself held no allegiance to the Old Maou Faction and their ways. "We're not here to fight you, or help Shalba. Frankly, I wouldn't care if you lot killed him. Well, we might fight you if Ophis orders us to."

Rias could tell Vali wasn't lying, he had no reason to. With Itachi in his current condition, Vali and his team could probably kill all of them here if they really wanted to. Rias wasn't confident if she could defeat either Vali or Amon, but she was certain she could stall them long enough if needed. Not wanting to make any unnecessary moves, Rias remained on the defensive in case she needed to fight.

"… That girl, was tormented by my sister, and even killed by her. Not to mention, she resurrected me from my comatose state. I simply repaid what I owed." Amon replied as he eyed the unconscious former nun. He didn't have many memories of her, only remembering seeing her crying face the moment he woke up, learning she had revived him and had been a target by Raynare in her quest to revive him. Speaking of his sister, Amon's senses peaked, he felt Raynare's presence in the air. Although before Amon could further explore this odd presence of his deceased older sister, a shockwave in the distance caught their attention.

Further into the city, buildings were collapsing as a volley of sickening green energy blasts rained down around them. Shalba Beelzebub soared high above the Sins, he found this very fitting as he of the noble Beelzebub bloodline should stand above all devils. Especially some mere reincarnated trash. "You fools face a true Maou now! And you all, disrespectful trash shall receive no mercy!"

"Right back at you beetle boy~" Eto in her Kakuja form fired off red blood colored crystal projectiles coated in fire. The rapid blasting flame crystals shredded through skyscrapers, shattering their structure and leaving big holes. Shalba coated his body in a mighty aura, mixed with green and purple energy from Ophis' snakes. The added power to his aura caused Eto's flame crystal projectiles to bounce off of him.

'That Ghoul woman, the flames she coats around those crystals are that of Creuserey Asmodeus… How shameful Creuserey, even in death you bring shame to the name Maou by letting a Ghoul taste the noble flesh of Asmodeus.' Shalba looked in disdain and with disgust at the monstrous Kakuja form of Eto. "You Ghouls are little more than rabid dogs that need to be put down. I'm more than happy to oblige. Once the Old Maou Faction is victories, I will personally see to that your kind is erased from this world."

The smile faded from Eto's face, her hands lightly twitching. The bangs of her green hair fell over her normal eye, leaving only her Ghoul eye exposed. The burning red eye staring through the teeth of her Kakuja form, and onto the form of Shalba. "Do you ever shut up? Little insect Maou." Eto's tone of voice lacked her usual sarcastic and humorous tone, instead it was only filled with malice. Flames coated around the arm of her Kakuja, as the massive monster owl swopped its clawed hand onto Shalba. A blade of light however, sliced off the Kakuja's arm. The light emitting from a device around Shalba's hand. 'Holy light?' Eto takes a leap back, smoke emitting from the severed limb of her Kakuja.

"Seems someone is using Fallen Angel tech. Quite pathetic from a "true Maou" to rely on the ability of an Angel." Kuroka's words jabbed like a knife into Shalba's pride.

"I prefer to view it, as evening the playing field." Shalba threw back as from his device he unleashed a blast of light towards Kuroka.

"Neat, mind if we do the same?" Kuroka snickered as a black veil of energy enwrapped around the light blast from Shalba, and snuffed it out within its darkness. Raven charging from behind, creating a massive falcon shaped darkness blast that swopped down onto Shalba latching onto him and dragging him towards the ground at an alarming speed.

Shalba crashed hard into the ground, causing the ground to split open and sink into a gigantic crater that created a massive smoke cloud from the blown debris. Shalba groaned as he laid in the crater, as the dust cleared, he saw the sturdy frame of Bob hovering over him. Bob had his dominant arm thrown back, his muscles tightening and energy gathering into his palm. "Grizzly Claw!" Bob pushed his palm forward unleashing a massive shockwave, the roaring shockwave sounding like a grizzly bear as it blasted into Shalba.

"Ugh!" Shalba groaned as the powerful shockwave blast crashed straight into his chest, blood spilled out from Shalba's lips as his ribs cracked under the pressure and punctured one of his lungs. The crater expanded, and buildings collapsed into the crater and onto Shalba.

The Sins dispersed into the sky above, observing the wreckage. "Not bad for filthy reincarnates, huh?!" Damian shouted down, and on que a massive pillar of demonic energy exploded from the wreckage. Shalba unleashing a mighty war cry as the debris surrounding him turned to dust. "You will pay!" Shalba's once pearly white teeth, were now stained red with blood. He was also wheezing a bit from his punctured lung.

"Oh no buddy, you will pay." Damian threw back as with mere movements of his fingers. Strings came to life from the rubble around Shalba. The shocked Maou barely having time to react, Shalba attempted to fly away although his right arm along with the device was caught in Damian's strings.

"AAAARRRGGGHHHHH!" Shalba cried out as the strings dug into his flesh, and ripped his right arm to pieces. Shalba got loose, but his right arm was severed into several tiny pieces.

Shalba's ears were ringing as blood erupted from his stumpy right shoulder. "Curse you!" Shalba snarled, flames erupting from his left hand as he cauterized the wound to stop the bleeding.

"No more holy light, and no burnt skin for us~" Damian snickered at seeing the angered Shalba.

"Seriously, I really didn't want to get an uneven tan~" Kuroka joined in on the teasing to further infuriate Shalba.

"All of you will perish!" A gigantic whirlwind formed around Shalba, the twister tearing the city apart and dragging the sins in towards it. "I will rip you all to shreds!" Shalba was still on the level of a Maou, with his powers he could easily cause a natural disaster that would have otherwise greatly damaged the real world.

The pull of the whirlwind was strong, and effortlessly dragged all the Sins towards him. The moment they were all close, Shalba unleashed powerful wind blasts into all of them sending them flying. They either crashed into a building, or to the ground in a loud thud. Shalba cackled as the whirlwind just pulled them in again, this time Shalba flicked his fingers to which the wind whirlwind caught ablaze in flames. "I will burn you all to a crisp. Itachi Sitri is quite the fool for accepting failures like you all into his peerage!"

"I don't think so!" Kuroka groaned, her touki aura exploding around her. The nekomata span around in the air, and directed her palms at the fire whirlwind. The ordinary flames of Shalba, clashed with a gigantic wave of blue fire. The stronger blue fire burning away Shalba's flames in a classic fire with fire fight. With his flames snuffed out, Shalba could only gasp as the tiny frame of Jack soared past him. The tiny assassin carried a dagger with her, stabbing the blade right into Shalba's right eye.

Jack's flexible and tiny frame easily snared herself onto Shalba like a snake wrapped around her prey, Jack had latched her legs onto Shalba's waist. "Rebellion!" Dimensional portals formed over Shalba, and down fell holy daggers that stabbed into Shalba's shoulders and back. The descendant of Beelzebub cried out in pain from the burning holy daggers. The daggers weren't at the level of a holy sword like Excalibur so Shalba wouldn't perish from this, but it was by design. "You insulted mommy, for that we will make you suffer." Pure killing intent leaked from Jack's being, the killing intent of ten thousand aborted orphan children overwhelmed even Shalba who couldn't help but tremble a bit. Jack's piercing eyes glared at Shalba, all for just calling Itachi foolish for taking her and the rest in, to Jack that was the greatest crime of all.

"Away with you, you little runt!" Lightning crackled around Shalba, sending a pulse of electricity into Jack. The little assassin groaned and moaned a bit in pain as she was flung off from Shalba's back.

First, they had broken his ribcage, then they had taken his right arm, now his right eye. This insult to his pride would not stand. Shalba was seething his teeth in anger, this crime against his greatness would not go unpunished. And yet, Shalba found himself to be surrounded by the Sins. They were not mere low-level trash like he had originally thought, they were rather strong in fact. But Shalba would never admit that, his pride wouldn't let him.

"Hey, one eyed stink beetle. How about you just give up and accept your death?" Eto snickered at seeing the once high and mighty Beelzebub in this sorry state. "You hoped to stand a chance against Sirzechs Lucifer? Please, with this level of power you wouldn't even be able to take down Itachi, let alone us mere reincarnated trash~"

With his punctured lung, Shalba knew his stamina and endurance had taken a heavy blow and weakened him. And with the handicap of losing his right arm and eye, as he was now, he wouldn't even last a second against Sirzechs. Him, a true Maou would lose in a mere second in the face of that fake. The thought infuriated him to no end, and this reincarnated freakshow of a peerage belonging to Itachi Sitri had caused him this humiliation.

Kuroka rushed and blitzed Shalba, with her touki aura burning strong Kuroka threw a series of blows into Shalba. Her speed was too much for Shalba to keep up with. The strength of Kuroka's enhanced punches rattled his bones to their core. Shalba groaned in pain, but before he could deliver a counter strike Kuroka unleashed a wave of blue fire onto Shalba.

Shalba cried out in pain, and rolled out from the blue fire. The flames having burnt away his cape, and burnt through his clothing and into his skin. Shalba groaned and trembled from the burns he had suffered. Shalba began to levitate, generating a sphere of green energy into his hand, the sphere growing into the size of a massive dome. "Perish!" Although as he was about to throw it, a web of strings wrapped themselves around it.

"Promotion Queen!" Damian increased his power to the maximum, his Sacred Gear able to nullify all magic that didn't double his own power. "Piano String: Grand Performance." With a flick of his fingers, Damian's Sacred Gear nullified Shalba's attack

"I-Impossible!" Shalba cried out in shock, before he could generate a second one. Damian leaped at him, wielding a sword made out of his strings Damian claimed Shalba's remaining left arm, severing it off with ease. "No!" Shalba cried out as he had now lost both his arms, he couldn't perform anymore advanced spells or demonic attacks. "How dare you-" Shalba was cut off, as he screamed in pain from Eto swopping in an having her Kakuja latch its fangs into his left leg. Swiftly Eto ripped off Shalba's left leg and the descendent of the original Beelzebub fell to the ground. "Inconceivable! Me, the mighty Shalba Beelzebub reduced to this?!" Shalba growled on the ground.

"Hehehe, thanks for the snack." Eto giggled, the mouth of her Kakuja opening revealing her upper body, with Eto beginning to feast on Shalba's severed left leg. "Juicy~"

With his body having been mutilated beyond belief, his pride shattered, Shalba trembled in anger as he levitated a bit over ground. His arms, his right eye, his left leg having been claimed in this battle against mere reincarnates. "Aww, what's wrong? What happened to all that talk earlier? Big bad Beelzebub didn't turn out to be much after all." Damian mocked, and that was the last straw for Shalba.

"You freaks and bunch of misfits! Both you and that damned master of yours! I know from my intel he wants to bring peace to the Underworld! Equality between the higher upper class and the low-tier garbage?! I have never heard of anything so foolish! Itachi Sitri is a perfect representation of the failure of the new fake Maou! His dream is nothing more but a fantasy! We are devils! We are a species meant to dominate! Only the strong will thrive, will the weak shall serve! Such is our nature! I shall kill Itachi Sitri, just as I did with that blond former nun! A nun?! A nun?! What an insult! Rias Gremory, Itachi Sitri, all those of the current fake Maou bloodline are nothing but fools with dreams! I will blow you, your fool of a master, and all the fake Maou! All of you will be blown away into oblivion!" Shalba in his anger and frustration vented out, as he generated a massive towering wall of greenish aura that pierced the heavens, and shook the very ground of the town. "I will blow you all away!" The energy around Shalba concentrated itself before the center of his chest, without his arms he had a hard time casting a spell, but he could still unleash the full wrath of his aura. "Begone!"

In an instant, Shalba's energy was snuffed out by a massive explosion of darkness. Raven floated in the air, and flew in front of the Sins and before Shalba. Her hood covering her face, with what sounded like animalistic growls coming from her. Raven lifted her face up, her once pale skin had turned red, and she had four eyes that glowed in a menacing yellow like her father Trigon. "Begone, little bug!" Raven's voice sounded like a mixture of her own as well as Trigon's, monstrous, animalistic, nothing but hatred and malice.

"Wow…" Kuroka and the Sins were even caught off guard, they had never seen Raven like this, they had never seen her angry.

The ground beneath them was ripped open, the sky darkening and swirling above them like an ominous dark cloud. Skyscrapers were ripped out from the ground, the concreate road tore apart and levitated towards this dark swirling cloud. Thunder began striking around them.

"Trigon…" Shalba mumbled, his voice sounding small as he was overcome with a sensation of fear. What he faced wasn't the power of Raven, it was the side of her which her father had influence over, it was Trigon's power. The power Raven was trying to keep suppressed by not showing or allowing herself to feel any emotion. But upon hearing Shalba insulting not only a dead comrade like Asia, but also the man who had taken her and all the Sins in and given them purpose in life and a home. Insulting Itachi and his dreams and ambitions, was the last straw for Raven. She had managed to keep herself composed, until now. Now her hatred and bloodlust wouldn't be satisfied, until Shalba was dead.

"What's wrong? Afraid of the dark?" Raven cracked a smirk, her robe seeming to grow as she floated higher up, looking like an ominous figure. Black tentacles emerged from her robe and wrapped themselves around Shalba.

"N-No! Get off me! Get off!" Shalba seemed to be panicking, without any arms he wasn't able to pry himself loose. Shalba thus unleashed his devil wings all ten of them breaking free from the hold of the tentacles Shalba quickly took flight.

"There is no escape little fly!" Raven giggled as waves of her magic shot out after Shalba.

"Get away from me!" Shalba cried out and had his aura clash with Raven's, but his aura was quickly consumed like it was nothing.

The Sins looked in awe, with Eto munching on Shalba's left leg like it was a drumstick. "Wh-What the hell is this power?" Kuroka trembled, with her senjutsu senses she felt Raven's energy and power. "It's even stronger than the captain's… it might be on the level of a Super Devil…" So, this was what Raven's power was like when her anger took over? The side of her Trigon managed to gain influence over.

Itachi from the other side of town, along with Rias and her peerage, and Team Vali, all felt it. "I feel… cold…" Murayama held her arms around herself, as even the humans could feel this energy by feeling the cold.

Itachi struggled to stand, yet he looked to the horizon. While most looked with either fear or awe, Itachi looked with concern in his eyes. "Raven…" Itachi always knew Raven had more raw untamed power than anyone else within his peerage, but this was the first time he felt it since the battle against Trigon, although it felt greater than it did back then.

Raven looked with killing intent as her energy chased the fleeing Shalba. Without his arms, with only one leg and eye left, Shalba was running for his life. "No! No! I cannot afford to die here! Not before I show why the Beelzebub bloodline is superior to Lucifer!"

"Enough yapping little fly, now die!" Raven snarled and with one hand, she unleashed a black wave of energy mixed with the red aura of her father Trigon. Shalba quickly generated a magic circle beneath his foot, he was getting out of here.

"Damn you Vali! Damn you Sirzechs! Damn you Seven Deadly Sins! Damn you Itachi Sitri!" Shalba cursed as he was engulfed by Raven's magic blast, his screams silenced as the soaring beam screeched through the heavens.

Raven took a couple of deep breaths, grunting and snarling as her anger still didn't feel satisfied. "Raven…" Raven snapped out of it as she heard Itachi's voice, her skin returning from red back to its usual pale self, her eyes returning from four to two, and the ominous swirling dark cloud over them dispersing and vanishing.

"Raven, are you alright?" Kuroka reached out to the witch girl. Raven shrugged Kuroka off, pulling her hood over her face. She felt ashamed over showing that side of herself to her friends.

"I am fine… Itachi needs us." Was all Raven said before flying away, the rest of the Sins didn't argue and followed her.

Meanwhile, Asia Argento was starting to wake up. The former nun groggily opened her eyes, feeling confused. A second ago she was making a prayer, the next it felt like she fell asleep. The first thing to greet Asia, was her friends Aika Kiryuu and Xenovia glancing down on her. Both their eyes were red and swollen from crying, they looked on with relief to see Asia having opened her eyes at last. "Asia!" Xenovia pulled Asia in for a tight hug. Not sure what had happened, Asia just gently patted Xenovia on the back, not able to take seeing her friends sad.

"Everything is okay, Xenovia… Don't cry." The kind and gentle voice of Asia drew in attention from more of her friends and family.

"Asia, are you okay?" Murayama and Katase were quick to crowd Asia, and so did Gorou Hyoudou.

"Thank God, we were so worried you might not wake up!" Gorou looked near tears over seeing his adoptive daughter was alive and well.

"What happened?" Asia asked looking confused.

"Some carnival dressed up freak sent you away to some dimension, we thought he killed you." Aika's voice dripped with venom at the thought of Shalba who nearly took their beloved Asia away from them.

"Yeah, but this guy saved you." Murayama and Katase looked up at Amon, a bit fawningly over his good looks and well fit body.

Asia looked spooked as her eyes landed on Amon, the younger brother of Raynare. Asia couldn't help but tremble a bit in fear at first, she didn't know Amon that well, only that he was the younger brother of Raynare, and the reason why Kokabiel tortured her in order for her to revive him. Amon cast a single look at Asia. "I merely paid you back what I owed." Was all he said before returning his focus in the distance where Vali and the rest were looking as well.

"It would appear Shalba has been defeated." Vali said, to which the humans who were unable to sense the situation looked at him for answers. This silver haired devil prince had just told them that Shalba, the guy who they literally viewed as Satan right now had been defeated. Before they could ask who managed to take that devil down, Vali looked to Itachi. "I must say, the daughter of Trigon is quite impressive. She's far more powerful than either of us from what I could tell. I can tell why Ophis views her to be dangerous."

"Ophis fears Rachel?" Kiba blurted out looking a bit surprised.

"Wait, that goth chick defeated that Shalba?" Aika looked in awe, she had no idea who this Trigon was but he must be someone amazingly powerful if Rachel was viewed to be stronger than Itachi and this silver haired devil prince just from being his daughter. Was what Aika thought, especially after seeing what Itachi had been capable off against Issei when he went on a rampage.

"Ophis doesn't fear her, more like she understands if she relies too much on her father's power, she could easily become the next Trigon." Vali corrected, clearly, he had a great deal of respect for Ophis and her infinite power.

"Raven has a lot of raw untamed power. I won't deny that… Although I would prefer, she didn't rely on the influence of her father either." Itachi groaned a bit from his injuries, he still looked to be on guard against Vali and his team despite the state he was in.

"Issei!" Asia suddenly shouted as she noticed the injured form of Issei in Miki's arms. Asia without hesitation rushed over to the unconscious Issei. "What happened?!"

"… After he thought you died, he went on a rampage and entered a form called the Juggernaut Drive. Itachi had to stop him by defeating him." Rias replied to which Asia gasped, looking around she saw nothing but the result of unwanted destruction that had been caused upon this replica of Kuoh town.

"Issei…" Asia mumbled, she felt guilty for causing Issei so much pain, even though she knew she couldn't help it she still felt guilty. That's just the kind of person Asia was. Asia brought out her Twilight Healing, and created a green healing bubble over Issei's body.

"… That's your Sacred Gear, right? Hyoudou and Kiba gave us a bit information about them." Aika sat next to Asia, looking in awe at the calming aura Asia's rings gave off.

"Yeah… I'm sorry, Kiryuu-san, for keeping this part of my life a secret." Asia apologized, but Aika only smiled and hugged the former nun.

"It's fine, you can tell me all about your exciting life later." Asia gave a cheerful smile and nodded.

"Yes, over some tea maybe?"

Issei's body groaned, and falling out from his pocket was the pink frilly wristband he gave Raynare on their first date. The wristband glowed purple, and then vanished into dust that entered Issei's arm. Issei weakly began opening his eyes.

"Issei-san, are you okay?" Asia was quick to ask, although her eyes then widened in confusion. Her throat was being squeezed hard. She couldn't breathe. Issei had shot his arm out and began strangling Asia.

"Hyoudou! What the hell do you think you are-" Before Aika could slap Issei, she was kicked aside by Issei. Aika crashed into a wall, her ribcage felt broken from a weak kick like that, the air knocked out of her lungs and blood erupting from her lips.

Issei's lips twists into a wicked smile, he begins to snicker but his voice is a mixture of his own and that of a woman. "Thank you, Asia-chan…" The mixed voice of Issei and the woman spoke, this drew the attention of Amon as he recognized the voice. So did Rias, Koneko, Kiba and Asia. The latter who widened her eyes in fear and began trembling over remembering. "With Issei's body having nearly been crippled by Itachi Sitri, I needed you to heal me. Now I am finally reborn!" A devil wing sprouted out from Issei's back, along with a Fallen Angel wing. His brown eyes changing into a shade of violet.

"R-Raynare…" Asia mumbled out in terror, before Raynare tossed her aside crashing next to Aika.

"Heheh, this is the greatest!" Raynare proclaimed as she laughed, activating the Boosted Gear on her arm. "The power of one of the thirteen Longinus is mine!"

"Koneko, Yuuto, Akeno, Xenovia, Gasper attack formation!" Rias ordered as her servants sprang into action.

Koneko rushed at Raynare, leaping over the frame of Issei and delivering a drop kick aimed at his head. Raynare blocked the kick with the forearm holding the Boosted Gear. Koneko widened her eyes in shock as Issei's arm didn't buckle under the pressure. "For months I have been waiting in silence, observing all of you, and the functions of the Boosted Gear. I know your fighting style, your strengths and weaknesses inside and out~" A wave of light generated from the Boosted Gear, and knocked Koneko into the air.

Koneko propelled into the sky, managing to halt herself just in time as Raynare blitzed her field of vision appearing right before her. Koneko saw the wicked smirk on Issei's face as he threw a heavy punch at Koneko. Koneko blocked the punch with her forearms, but was knocked straight into the ground in a loud thud. "She has Issei-senpai's strength…" Koneko dusted some dust off from her shoulder as she glared at the possessed Issei. Koneko grew out her white cat tail, and cat ears entering her nekomata form. Blue flames gathering in her palms and feet, as she rushed back at Raynare.

"Heh, such a cute kitty~" Raynare taunted as she created a light spear from the Boosted Gear gauntlet, and threw it at Koneko. Koneko focused her nature energy into her fist, and with a single punch the spear bounced off to the side. "Ho, I see… I need more power." The boosted gear then glowed green as she boosted her power. "Boost!" Raynare and Koneko both threw a punch, their fists connecting causing a shockwave to erupt between them. "Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Explosion!" Just like that Koneko's blue fire fist was easily pushed back, and she was sent flying back down to the ground. Raynare then threw her fist back, gathering a red energy sphere. "Dragon Shot!" Raynare punched the sphere sending a massive red energy beam at Koneko.

Koneko gasped, although in a split second the energy beam was cut in half right down the middle, as Xenovia jumped in with Durandal at hand. "You fiendish Fallen Angel body snatcher, leave Issei's body at once!"

"Ah yes, the legendary Holy Sword Durandal. Pathetic that its wielder decided to become a devil, how disappointing. Well, humans are so easily corrupted after all, they are nothing but mere sheep who need a shepherd."

"The hell is going on?" Motohama whispered, Issei's body had been taken over by someone else? It's just one incident after another today. Matsuda looked just as confused, it seems strange things would keep happening all day.

"My baby." Miki cried over seeing how much pain her son had gone through just today.

Vali looked stoic over the whole thing, he was a little impressed to learn his destined "rival" had managed to use Juggernaut Drive, only to be disappointed at seeing him being taken over by a low level Fallen Angel like Raynare. Vali directed his focus to the one he knew was most affected by this. "Amon…" Vali called out to his comrade, who was trembling, he looked conflicted from what Vali could tell.

Xenovia jumped at Raynare, raising her Durandal that let out a booming sound like it was charging up to something, followed by a strong glowing aura of light. Xenovia slashed the sword down on Issei, her knight speed being too much for Raynare to keep up with. The slash exploded into a destructive pillar of light that shook the entire area, Raynare crashed into the ground. Koneko added to the damage by delivering a drop kick to the downed Fallen Angel, Koneko was glowing white with the Touki fire aura adding to her power. Raynare coughed up blood as she heard the bones in Issei's body cracking. "Boost!" Then a wall of aura exploded around Raynare, knocking both Koneko and Xenovia away from her.

Xenovia then dual wielded with both Durandal and the dragon slayer Ascalon. Xenovia rushed at Raynare, slashing her swords around, Raynare countered by creating dual swords of light that clashed with the two holy swords. All whilst continuing to boost her power, thus amplifying the power of her light swords as well making them able to contend with the two holy swords. "I think once I have killed you, I will take both these swords. They will make fine weapons to serve lord Kokabiel. Actually, you know what? Screw it, with this power I can overthrow Kokabiel. I can overthrow Shemhazai and Azazel as well. Me and Amon will rule the Fallen Angels, and eradicate all Devils!" Raynare chuckled at the thought, seeing herself seated on a throne filled with subjects of those that once looked down at her. She continued to gloat as she was locked in a dual with Xenovia.

"If you think you are escaping here with your life intact, you are sorely mistaken!" Xenovia hissed back at Raynare, and began overpowering her. Xenovia's sheer skill with swords, along with the power of each strike and slash began pushing Raynare back.

"… It's not over yet, as we speak, I am adapting to the power of this Sacred Gear. I have witnessed that fool Issei struggle to master it for months, even during his training with Tannin. I know how to use this Sacred Gear, and soon I will have full control over it!" Raynare continued to boost her power as she dueled with Xenovia.

"Issei is not so weak that you can easily control him! The moment his spirit wakes up, you will be cast out from his body! I know the strength of the man I have chosen to procreate with!" Xenovia proudly declared showing her confidence in Issei.

Raynare however burst out laughing at the declaration. "You want to have kids with this perverted virgin?! That's hilarious! Did you know, I killed him on our first date! He was such a loser he accepted to date me the moment I met him and asked! He thought he was going to get some, but instead I stabbed him and watched as he bleed out on the floor! I only regret not having finished the job back then!" Xenovia finally snapped from Raynare's taunts.

Xenovia tossed Ascalon aside, and raised her Durandal delivering heavy strikes at Raynare. As Xenovia in her anger pushed Raynare back, and her Durandal shattered through Raynare's light swords as if they were made of glass. "Don't mock my man!" Xenovia declared as she stabbed Durandal into the ground, causing the entire ground beneath Raynare to explode and sink into a crater.

"Oh my, I didn't know Issei was that popular…" Miki looked in awe at seeing Xenovia defending Issei against the witch of a woman who had seduced and killed Issei. Which had caused him to become a devil in the first place.

"D-Damn you Issei! But at the moment I am willing to forgive him!" Matsuda and Motohama begrudgingly couldn't help but forget their jealousy for a moment, seeing everything they and Issei had been through today.

Xenovia looked into the dust filled crater, although within the smoke she saw red light began emitting from it, illuminating a figure which was soon cladded in armor. "Balance Breaker!" Then the sound of boosters igniting caused Xenovia to quickly jump back as Raynare flew out cladded in the Balance Breaker Scale Mail armor.

"She's already managed to unlock Issei's Balance Breaker?" Akeno looked in shock same as the rest.

"Such power flowing through me, it feels incredible~" Raynare unleashed a mighty red aura, sending such powerful surges of wind that the debris around her was sent flying at the Gremory group like projectiles.

Kiba rushed with his Knight speed, slashing at the debris as he advanced on Raynare. Wielding his sword of betrayer, Kiba leaped up and swung his body around to slash his blade at Raynare's neck. However, the Scale Mail armor was too dense for even Kiba to cut through. "Incredible resolve, you would be willing to deal a fatal blow to even your beloved comrade." Raynare commended Kiba, before backhanding him into the ground.

"Issei-kun would rather die than harm his own friends. His resolve is that strong, and I will honor that resolve." Kiba stood valiantly with his sword in hand. With a tap of his foot, the ground began to shake. "Sword Birth!" Multiple swords then erupted from the ground around Raynare, some even stretching to the heavens.

Raynare gasped as Kiba rushed up alongside one of the swords, and slashed at Raynare's armor cutting through her side. "Ugh!" Raynare grunted as Kiba had slashed into the flesh of Issei's body. "Little punk!" Raynare charged another Dragon Shot at the falling Kiba.

"Now!" Kiba called out, and on que Raynare's arm with the red sphere froze in time. Gasper having activated his Sacred Gear and frozen Raynare's arm. "Akeno-san!"

On que, multiple magic circles surrounded Raynare like a cage. Akeno in her Shrine Maiden outfit floated above the cage, lightning sapping between her fingers. "Lightning Empress." The sound of multiple thunder strikes going off at once came from the cage, as electricity surged violently into the cage and effectively stunning the Scale Mail armor. "Rias."

"Get away from my adorable servant." Rias blasted a massive destruction beam at the cage, easily breaking through it and clashing into the Scale Mail armor. Raynare screamed in pain as the destruction aura tore through the Scale Mail armor.

Raynare fell to the ground, the Scale Mail armor broken around Issei's face, and his right arm. Raynare's violet eyes looked up at Rias who stood over her, just like she did when she first eradicated her. "Heh, go ahead bitch, do it. Kill your beloved servant." Raynare taunted.

Rias flinched, hesitating causing an opportunity to present itself as Raynare sprang into action to punch Rias. Although as her fist was about to clash into Rias, a wave of water blew her away. Raynare rolled around on the ground, hissing as she glared at Itachi. Itachi's legs were trembling, barely able to stand as some of his toes had suffered frost damage from his Frost Demon form. "Itachi Sitri, I've been waiting for this opportunity!" Raynare ignited the boosters of the Scale Mail armor and took flight at Itachi. Raynare threw a heavy punch at him, although Itachi exploded in a violent explosion that sent her flying and tearing apart more of the Scale Mail armor.

Itachi panted as he still laid in the crater, creating clones from his water. "For someone who claims to know our strength and weaknesses, you didn't see that coming did you?"

Raynare crawled up from the ruins of a broken building. "Bastard! I will tear your heart out from your chest!" The moment Raynare rushed at Itachi and his clones, Rias jumped in and blasted Raynare away with a destruction sphere carrying her off into the air. Rias crossed her arms, creating magic circles around the flying Raynare, followed by softball sized destruction spheres being thrown into the mix, bouncing off the magic circles and into Raynare. The destruction spheres grew denser and picked up more speed, growing in size as they clobbered into Raynare.

"How's Asia doing? We need her to heal Itachi." Rias had Akeno check on Asia, but the former nun laid on the ground unconscious having hit her head when Raynare threw her.

"No good, Asia-chan is unconscious, I'm going to need some time to heal her." Akeno began using healing magic on the unconscious nun.

"No need." Raven came flying in, wrapping a black veil of magic around the downed Itachi. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Itachi's body began healing, his frost damage effectively being removed, his broken bones and tissue restored. And all in the blink of an eye.

"Thank you, Raven. Good work everyone on stopping Shalba." Itachi took a moment to congratulate his peerage, Jack quickly jumping onto him like a monkey.

"Mommy, bad man badmouthed you, so we made him bleed." Jack nuzzled her head onto the top of Itachi's head.

"Is that so? Well thank you Jack." Itachi praised the little assassin who looked ecstatic over having her parent praise her.

"Took the fuckers arms, then his eye and then his leg." Damian pointed at Eto who was currently munching on said leg as if it was a drumstick. "And then Raven blew him into oblivion, she was fucking scary not gonna lie."

"Yes, I felt that all the way over here. You okay?" Itachi looked to Raven, wanted to be sure if she was mentally fine.

"Yeah, it was only for a few seconds… I'm fine." Raven pulled her hood down over her face.

Meanwhile, Raynare grunted as she was endlessly bombarded by the destruction spheres. "Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Explosion!" Raynare let out a war cry, and exploded in a mighty aura that blew away the magic circles surrounding her like a cage. Raynare was then able to charge forward at Rias with the intent to kill.

"I am going to pay you back tenfold for killing me last time you bitch!" Raynare roared at Rias, her fist emitting a green aura, and Rias' palm generating a swirl of destruction energy. They both clashed, generating mighty shockwaves and creating a light show of red and green.

Amon couldn't stand by any longer, looking at the form of Issei, sensing his sister's spirit within him so he calls out. "Raynare…" As Raynare was blown back from her power struggle with Rias, Amon's voice instantly caught her attention.

With the helm broken of the Scale Mail armor, Amon could see Raynare looked ecstatic to see him. "Ah, Amon! My sweet little brother. I'm so glad to finally see you, after all this time-"

"Please, stop this." Raynare halted at Amon's words, thinking this was going to be a sweet reunion. Although that thought was about to come crashing down from Amon's words and saddened face.

"With what? They are just devil trash, once I break this boy's mind completely, I can create a new body for myself. And use the power of the Heavenly Dragon to bring us Fallen Angels on top!" Hoping to see her brother look excited, Raynare was only further confused as Amon shook his head and continued looking on with that sad face.

"Please… just stop. Let him go, let them go, nee-san." Those words felt like the ultimate betrayal, Raynare feeling like she had been stabbed in the back.

"Let them go?" Raynare repeated, in a slight defeated tone. "This bitch killed me. And you want me to let her, and her friends, go? Little brother, you know I can't do that."

Amon closed his eyes and clenched his fists. Upon hearing his sister's responds Amon unleashed a brilliant glow of light, the light burning Raynare as she was in Issei's devil body. "Then you will have to kill me as well. I refuse to let you harm anyone." Amon showed his resolve to defy his older sister's influence.

Raynare looked shocked and hurt. Amon had always been sentimental, and a little too soft for her liking, but this to Raynare was crossing a line. "Amon, don't be a fool. They are devils! Remember?! Our natural enemy! They killed me, your sister! They raped our little sister Yuuma and killed her!"

Amon knew this of course, he didn't need to be reminded on how either of his sisters died, he knew all to well. He had even avenged Yuuma just a few moments ago by killing Diodora Astaroth. Amon looked to Vali from the corner of his eye, and then back to Raynare. "We can't judge a whole race based on the actions of an individual. Vali taught me that… And, the reason you got killed. Was not because the devils attacked you, you got killed for attacking them in a hopeless battle. Nee-san, although it pains me to say it, your death was your own fault… my fault. Please, just rest in peace. You are dead, and the dead should not bother the living."

Even if Amon's words were true, Raynare blinded in anger projected her anger onto Rias. "You! You all turned him against me! You will pay!" As Raynare ignites the boosters of the Scale Mail to attack Rias, she is suddenly blown back by Amon who unleashed a mere wave of pressure.

Amon looked to Rias, who looked a bit shocked that Amon came to her aid considering Rias killed Raynare. "… Don't think this means I have forgiven you for her death." With that those words given. Amon took chase after Raynare.

Raynare laid on the ground, wheezing for air as that blow had knocked the air out of Issei's lungs. Amon stood over her, looking hurt over having to do this. "Amon, don't be a fool! I am your family, your blood! You cannot do this!"

"… I do this because I love you. I want your soul to be with Yuuma. I will remain here, and carry the weight of your sins and my own, as I failed to protect Yuuma, and you. I failed as your brother, and for that… I need to make sure you don't hurt anyone else. You tortured this boy, and now you have possessed his body. You tortured and killed that poor girl. Ordered our friends to kill innocent humans. Dragging Dohnaseek, Kalawarna and young Mittelt in your quest for vengeance, which got them killed as well. You know I cannot support such actions, because I am your brother, I need to stop you. And because you are my sister, you will disapprove…"

"… Traitor!" Raynare hissed and threw a punch at Amon, although he didn't even flinch as her fist clashed with his face. Raynare ignited boosters from her elbow, and Amon was sent skidding backwards. "You dare betray me?! After everything I have done for you?!"

"… You may hate me. I will accept that hatred and carry it on my own for the rest of my life. But even if you do hate me. I will love you always." Amon with a swing of his arm unleashed a wave of light that tore through the Scale Mail armor. Raynare gasped in fright, as Amon continued to tear through the armor with waves of light.

"Ugh! Shut up!" Raynare unleashed a Dragon Shot blast at Amon, who calmly looked at the beam. Radiant light waves exploded from Amon, and instantly the Dragon Shot beam vanished like a shadow of darkness facing direct sunlight. Amon fired a blast of light from his fingertip, sending Raynare flying her Scale Mail armor ripped off from her leaving her with the Boosted Gear gauntlet. Raynare from the gauntlet generated a spear of light and tossed it at Amon, who merely slapped it aside.

"I see, so the Dragon arm allows his devil body to touch angelic light." Amon then blitzed Raynare, grabbing onto her face and lifting her up into the air. Raynare in frustration began kicking Amon's chest, yet his big muscly and sturdy frame did not budge. He only looked at her with pity.

Then all the fighting was brought to a sudden halt, as what sounded like crackling thunder rained from the heavens. It sounded as if the sky itself had been ripped wide open. Everyone's gazes turned upwards, and stared in shock as a gigantic black hole of some kind had appeared in the sky.

"Wh-What is that?" Miki Hyoudou shivered in fright, that loud crackling noise having startled her and many others.

Gorou looked amongst these devils and supernatural creatures, and found them to be in just as much confusion as he and his wife. "You guys… don't know what that is?" Gorou looked to Rias.

"I-I think it is a portal of some kind… But I have never seen one of such size, and I have never seen one appear without a magic circle before…" Rias mumbled, as she and Itachi both stared in awe at the portal.

"So, he's decided to show himself?" Vali tucked his hands into his pockets, and eyed the portal with great interest.

"S-Something is coming out!" Motohama shouted and pointed at the portal. A massive horn pierced through the black hole, followed by a big red snout.

"A…. A…." The humans were left speechless at what they were seeing. "A monster…" Aika mumbled, sweating out of pure fear.

All of them, the devils and the humans could only gaze up in awe, as a massive shadow cast itself over them. A massive dragon loomed over them, a red dragon which made normal dragons seem like the size of people, and made people look like ants in comparison. "Great Red." Vali smiled at the sight of the Dragon among Dragons. "See that, Itachi Sitri? That dragon, is my goal. The goal of Ophis. My dream, is to defeat it." Vali held his hand stretched out to the sky, bawling his hand into a fist over the frame of the dragon before his eyes.

"Great Red… So, that's the only being that rivals Ophis?" Itachi looked upon Great Red with great fascination.

"Oi, Great Red! Ophis says hello!" The monkey King, Bikou playfully waved at the massive dragon.

"Idiot! Don't draw his attention!" Arthur scolded, yet they were ignored. Great Red didn't even offer them a glance of acknowledgment, and continued on soaring in the sky. A second portal then opened before Great Red, as he was about to enter his yellow eye drifted to the side.

Itachi for some reason felt as if Great Red's gaze landed onto him. Itachi looked back, starring into the eye of the massive dragon for just a split second before the dragon flew through the portal, disappearing as quickly as he had appeared.

In the meantime, the Dragon God of Infinity smirked with glee over this battle. The massive beastly form of Sirzechs "True Form" looming over her like a savage beast, destroying anything in its path. Anything this form touched, ended up annihilated in the face of oblivion. And yet, Ophis stopped the massive beast with a wall of her aura. "I must admit, seeing the strongest Devil in history like this, is quite intriguing. Perhaps I could find some use for your power?" Ophis hummed, as with an air punch she tore through the destruction beast leaving a massive gaping hole in its side. Sirzechs who was placed at the beast's head, grunted as if it was his own flesh that was torn off. The destruction beast regenerated itself with ease, as it was made up completely out of Sirzechs' concentrated destruction demonic power.

A firestorm went ablaze behind Ophis, who without even batting an eye negated the storm with a flash of her aura. Harry in flame samurai armor jumped out from the fire, and slashed his blade at Ophis. The blade landing on Ophis' neck, although it failed to cut the skin of the Dragon God. "… I must admit, I don't think I have ever encountered such a strong human. Reincarnated or not. It is impressive. The only thing more impressive, is that your spirits haven't broken from this pointless struggle."

"My spirit shall never waver, nor break! I will die standing on my feet before I fall into despair!" Harry boastfully claimed as he unleashed a mighty fire blast around them, the fire reaching the very heavens and catching the entire land around them ablaze.

"I agree! No matter what, I cannot fall into despair! I am the current Lucifer, the protector of the Underworld! I cannot lose face even in the face of such an opponent like yourself!" Sirzechs powered through, his destruction aura eating away at the wall of aura from Ophis. The destruction took the shape of a gigantic fist, and powered through the wall of aura around Ophis.

Ophis caught the massive destruction fist in her tiny little palm, her arm not wavering under the pressure. "Huh?" Ophis flinched as she looked at her palm, seeing the skin on her hand having been torn apart in the face of Sirzechs "True Form" this shocking Ophis to the point she didn't notice Harry's attack until a massive ball of fire blasted into her.

Ophis skidded backwards, clenching her good hand onto the fire blast and snuffing the flames out in an instance. Ophis took a moment to look at her hand, the skin was torn to pieces. Ophis let out an annoyed groan, the skin around her burnt arm cracked and fell off. She was shedding her skin like a snake, and thus her arm was healed. 'Sirzechs doesn't have full control over this form, that much is obvious… And that Harry fellow really works more like a distraction for whenever Sirzechs attacks. Still, Sirzechs surprised me, maybe 10% isn't enough?' Ophis cracked a smile and began levitating. "No matter, in the end your struggle is pointless. You can never hope to defeat me. This battle will only end one way, and that is whichever way I decide. Do I kill you? Do I take you? Do I leave you? Do I kill everyone else and leave you two to mourn them? So many choices, so little time."

Azazel sat on the sidelines with Odin, trying to recatch his breath. "Geezer, this is starting to look bad… Any chance you can contact that overpowered son of yours? Maybe get him to smack that hammer of his into Ophis, see if that will do anything?"

Odin sighed, and laid back to rest his old bones. "Nah, that boy won't be able to get here in time. Besides, Thor has just as much of chance at defeating Ophis as young Sirzechs does."

"Ho? So, zero, eh?" Azazel rested his chin on his hand as he looked on with his usual carefree expression.

"Yep, only way we have a chance to defeat Ophis, is to have the strongest Gods of each religion, and you Faction Leaders get together. But knowing some of those stubborn bastards, that won't ever happen." Odin knew several of the Gods were beyond arrogant, and some were even downright terrified of Ophis.

Despite the hopeless situation, neither Harry nor Sirzechs backed down in the face of Ophis frightening power. "Well, let's continue to play, Sirzechs Lucifer-" Ophis suddenly halted, her eyes widening and a shiver running down her spine. This sudden change in Ophis demeanor caught the Faction Leaders off guard. Ophis looked in a direction, her gaze fixated into the distance. She could sense him, she recognized that energy from anywhere. It made her skin crawl, her very body trembling with rage. "On second thought, I'm bored." Ophis without another word, flies off in the direction her gaze was fixated on.

"Wh-What?" Harry looked in disbelief, the Dragon God left in the middle of their battle? One moment she was eager to fight them and toy with them, and the very next second she claimed she was bored and took off? This didn't sit well with Harry. He was going to finish this terror once and for all. "Wait!" Harry took a leap after Ophis, aiming to end the Dragon God here and now.

"Harry, no!" Sirzechs on the other hand knew they couldn't defeat Ophis, and if she retreated that meant everyone got to live to fight another day. Sirzechs flies off after Harry and Ophis, all three coming to a halt as Harry jumps in front of Ophis.

"I won't let you live to continue your terrorizing of my family any longer!" Harry declared, he was fired up and ready to fight.

Ophis simply looked annoyed. She had lost all interest in the fight now that he had made his presence known. "Shalba has been defeated by the rest of the Seven Deadly Sins, and his army is in full retreat." Ophis looks to both Harry and Sirzechs, and gives a mere shrug. "There is no need to continue. Especially since that Red bastard decided to show up." Ophis lifts her gaze upwards, seeing a massive portal open up above them.

A massive structure exited the portal, Harry gasped as it cast a gigantic shadow across the entire landscape. For the first time in his life, Harry felt small. A gigantic red dragon that was approximately over 100 meters in length came out of the portal. Harry and Sirzechs both looked in awe at gazing upon the majestic red dragon. "Great Red…" Sirzechs mumbles, the legendary Apocalypse Dragon had made his presence known. Seeing Great Red and Ophis in the same place at once was a rare sight, this was the first time Sirzechs had seen the two infinite beings this close to each other.

Ophis smiles as she gazes upon Great Red flying in the skies of the Underworld. Ophis lifts her dominant arm up, and holds her finger out like a gun that she aimed at the gigantic Red Dragon. "Bang~" Ophis looks at Great Red with a playful smirk. The massive Red Dragon seemed to react to Ophis presence, noticing her from the corner of his eye.

Sirzechs feels his heart beating in his throat, everything moves slowly. Great Red's yellow piercing eye drifts to the side, his gaze landing upon Ophis who stared back at him. The intense staring contest between Ophis and Great Red filled the air around them with tension, if these two broke out in a fight now all of the Underworld would be destroyed. Great Red's piercing yellow eyes locking with Ophis grey silver eyes.

However, in stead of breaking into a fight, the two mightiest beings in all of existence merely continue to stare at each other in silence. This long never-ending silence coming to an end, as a second portal opens before Great Red, and he flies into it and back into the Dimensional Gap. Sweat dripped from Sirzechs, Azazel, Odin and even Harry. Ophis however, cracked a smile as she looked at the closing portal. "Good talk."

"That was Great Red?" Harry mumbles to himself, still left in awe at the sheer size of that beast. It was unlike any Dragon Harry had ever faced, Tannin himself wasn't nearly as big as Great Red.

"…" Sirzechs stood there in silence, with Ophis having her back turned to him he had no idea how this was going to go. Even though he couldn't see the expression on Ophis' face, he could feel the sheer killing intent and hatred vibrating from her very being.

"… I'm bored, this has gotten dull." Ophis declared, and in the blink of an eye she knocked the air out of Harry with a single punch. The hulking Sitri Rook falling out from his Balance Breaker state, as he falls to the ground bellow. Before Sirzechs can react, he is dragged out from his destruction form, Ophis tiny hand firmly grasped around his throat. Ophis in her rage squeezed hard, nearly crushing Sirzechs' windpipe.

Sirzechs groaned, as he got a good look at Ophis face. Her face twisted into a wide smirk, her eyes darkened and pupils shrunken in pure rage. In Sirzechs eyes, it was as if he was staring into the eyes of a gigantic dragon, with its scales as black as the blackest night sky. The gigantic roaring dragon seemed to calm itself, Sirzechs despite facing such killing intent didn't lose face, still keeping a strong a firm expression, yet his face was also drenched in nervous sweat. "Oh my, I seem to have lost my composure there for a bit." Ophis chuckled a bit, her face returning to its usual calm expression. Her stoic emotionless eyes, and soft smile returning as she dropped Sirzechs to the ground.

Azazel trembled at what he saw, for a very short moment there, Ophis had shown them her wrath, her anger, her hatred. The sight of Great Red made her lose her composure, her hatred towards the Apocalypse Dragon seemed to be very strong. 'Sirzechs and Harry should count themselves lucky that Ophis despite losing her cool, held her true strength back…' Azazel swallowed a nervous lump in his throat, this was it he thought, this was where they all died.

Ophis however continued to surprise Azazel, as with a snap of her fingers black snakes appeared from the shadows of the defeated Sirzechs and Harry. The snakes wrapped themselves around their bodies, and began to glow. Azazel looked in disbelief, their injuries were fading, Ophis healed Sirzechs and Harry. "Sorry I lost control back there. Bye now." Ophis casually waved as she opened a portal to the Rating Game dimension, and flew through it.

Why didn't she kill them? Why had she healed them instead? If Ophis wanted to, they would have all been dead by now, so why? Why weren't they? Azazel kept on pondering to himself. He knew Ophis hadn't always acted sadistic, sometimes the Dragon God would act kind in certain eras. But healing an opponent it had fought, had been unheard of until now. Normally anyone that challenged Ophis, ended up either dead or severely injured. Did Ophis perhaps feel bad that she took out her anger towards Great Red onto Sirzechs and Harry? It was almost as if she enjoyed their battle like a child playing with a group of friends, until Great Red arrived and sullied her mood. Ophis as always remained a mysterious creature in Azazel's eyes, her motivation and true goal forever remaining a mystery.

Back in the Rating Game dimension, Raynare managed to escape Amon's iron grip and flipped backwards. "Dragon Shot!" Once again Raynare attempted to blast Amon with the red energy beam.

Amon merely holding out his dominant arm, countered with a beam of light that easily overpowered Raynare's beam. Raynare gasped but before the beam reached her Amon snuffed it out, knowing that amount of light would kill Issei. "I see, it seems you are close to losing your grip on him." Amon pointed out as Issei's left eye had returned to its shade of brown.

Issei's left arm then wrapped itself around his own throat. "Get out of my body!" Issei groaned as he struggled.

"Fool! Doing this will kill us both!" Raynare hissed back, the right eye still shining in a bright violet color.

"I don't care! You made my body hurt Asia and my friends! I will kill both of us if I have to!" Issei proclaimed, and looked up at Amon. "Amon, right? When I say so, eradicate us both!"

Amon gave a mere nod, and directed his palm at Issei as he charged up a sphere of light. "… My sister called you a perverted fool. Well, perverted or not, you are a brave fool." Amon complimented Issei, who smirked.

"Thanks, I guess!" Issei groaned as he continued the mental struggle.

"No! Don't kill him!" Asia having woken up cried out. She looked pleadingly at Amon and Issei, Issei smiling over getting the chance to see Asia again.

"Asia… I'm so happy to see you… I'm sorry, for everything guys… I lost it back there. And I am sorry for keeping that damned wristband with this bitch's soul inside it for so long without telling anyone! I wanted to solve this on my own, but I failed!" Issei cried on his left eye, but his right eye burned in an intense fury.

"And you will fail now! You have done nothing but fail your whole life! You cannot even confess your feelings to the girl you love! You are an insecure failure! Now just vanish and give me your body!" Raynare screeched in anger as she fought back.

"Yeah, you are right… I have done nothing but fail until now! That is why, I won't fail this time! I will not give in to you!" Issei threw back, his voice filled with burning determination.

"My, what is going on here." A new voice came from above, the soft smooth silky voice sent shivers down Itachi, the Sins and the Gremory group. Raynare slowly looked up, her eyes widened in fear as she looked petrified. Floating down from above was Ophis, looking on them all with a carefree smile.

"Ophis." Vali greeted as he and the rest of the team flew to her.

Itachi as well rushed towards Ophis, if she was here than what happened to Harry, Sirzechs, Azazel and Serafall? Although Ophis froze Itachi midair with merely raising her hand, keeping him stuck in place. "No need to rush, I am bored of fighting for today." Ophis looks to Vali and his team. "It seems we are about done here." Ophis declared the battle to be over, with Shalba and his forces defeated and in full retreat there was no need to continue.

"What happened to Sirzechs, Harry, Serafall and the others?" Itachi questioned the Dragon God, who merely smiled calmly at him despite the hostility in his tone.

"They are quite alive and well. I played with them, and then decided it was time to go home. That is all." Ophis replied, and Itachi let out a small sigh of relief over hearing everyone was alive and well.

But one question still bugged at Itachi's mind. "Why did you come here?" Itachi asked the Dragon God, who despite having expressed a desire to have him on her side, doesn't make an effort to capture him.

"Because Shalba wanted me here. But now that he has been beaten, I have no reason to remain here. And that Red bastard is gone as well… So, no need to stick around." At the mentioning of Great Red, Itachi recalled the massive red dragon just passing by from dimension to dimension.

Raynare with Issei a bit caught off guard from Ophis' presence, leaped in to attack Itachi although Ophis halts Raynare, lifting her hand causing Raynare in Scale Mail armor to freeze midair. With a flick of her fingers, the armor around Raynare shattered. "Amon, it is time to leave." Ophis calls for her minion.

Amon however looks to Raynare in Issei's body. "I can't leave her like this." Amon denies Ophis, who looks to Raynare or rather at Issei's body.

"Mm? I see, a piece of your sister's soul is stuck to Ddraig's host." Ophis with a mere flick of her fingers, causes Issei's body to unleash a bright violet blinding light. Everyone for a short moment is blinded by this light, and when it clears it reveals two figures on the ground. One is Issei who groans and rubs his aching head.

"What happened?" Issei returns to normal. He looks to the person next to him, seeing Raynare, looking like she did before she died.

Raynare gasps in horror as she gazes up at Ophis. Raynare starts to fade, she looks to Amon with tears glistening in her eyes. "N-No please… Amon help me." Raynare shakingly calls out to her brother, before slowly vanishing like the ghost she was.

Amon looks away, clenching his fists while shedding tears at seeing his sister vanishing before his eyes. Amon then falls to his knees before where his sister's spirit vanished, and begins to pray. "O' father in Heaven, watch over my misguided sister's soul. And please let her reach paradise to reunite with our beloved younger sister Yuuma. If needed, I will give up my own place in paradise for her sake. Let her sins fall upon me, as a brother, a protector, who failed his family. Amen."

With his prayer done, Ophis calls out. "Amon, Vali, Arthur, Bikou, it is time to go." Amon then returned to Ophis side along with the rest of Team Vali. Amon turns around, his gaze meeting Itachi's.

The cold emotionless gaze of the Angel of Death, falling onto the look of pity in Itachi's gaze. 'If the circumstances had been different…' Itachi thought, if Sona and Serafall had died early on in his life Itachi could easily imagine himself falling down a similar path to Amon. 'Our roles could have been reversed.' As that thought crossed Itachi's mind, he saw an image of Amon, Raynare and Yuuma standing with the Sitri and Gremory group, while Itachi himself stood with Ophis and Vali.

Itachi and Amon continued to stare at each other in silence, before Ophis teleported Amon and Team Vali away with her. Rias walked up to Itachi, grabbing onto his hand, and Itachi held on tightly to Rias' hand. Issei in the meantime was getting crowded by Asia, Xenovia, Miki, Gorou, Aika, Matsuda, Motohama, Murayama and Katase.

Meanwhile, outside the Rating Game dimension, Sona and her peerage had arrived to witness the aftermath. Sona looked at the screen showing Itachi and the others while she tended to an injured Serafall. Sona and her peerage had aided in fighting off Old Maou Faction soldiers the whole time. Sona looked at the screen showing Itachi and Amon looking at each other before Amon left with Ophis and Vali's group.

Sona saw the look in her brother's eyes, and after having witnessed the situation unfold on screen Sona understood the situation quite well. "Is It-tan alright?" Serafall mumbled, blood having filled her mouth and she was unable to look at the screen, as Sona had Serafall leaned on her side so she didn't choke on her own blood.

Onii-sama is fine, this battle is over." Sona strokes Serafall's hair, Serafall gives a weak nod before dozing off to sleep while resting her head on Sona's lap. "But the war is not done…" Sona mumbled to herself, as Khaos Brigade were still a threat.

It had been quite the eventful day Issei thought as he looked up at, the sky from a balcony at the Gremory mansion. After the whole Diodora incident, the attack of Shalba and Khaos Brigade, Issei's rampage, Raynare's return, and Ophis. Everyone had been invited to relax at the Gremory mansion for a bit while they recovered. 'I messed up big time…' Issei held onto the railing, clenching his fists in frustration. He should have gotten rid of that damn wristband long ago. Asia was at least alive, which brought Issei a great feeling of relief. Aika and Xenovia hadn't left Asia's side since.

'I've made up my mind, I have to confess my feelings…' Issei although he was alone, it was by design, he was waiting for someone.

"You wanted to talk, Issei." The soft and gentle sweet voice of Rias Gremory resonated like a sweet melody in Issei's ears. Issei looked to his master, the woman who had saved his, and Asia's life, and the woman he loved.

"Buchou… I…" Issei steadied his breathing. His heart was beating in his ears. He felt nervous. But he had to do this, he had to tell her how he felt. "I'm in love with you… I've loved you from the moment I laid my eyes on you!" Issei lowered his head, his body trembling from the nervosity he was feeling. It was painful, the silence that followed felt like a painful eternity.

Rias looks with a knowing smile, she walks up to the trembling form of Issei, gently she puts her arms around him and embraces her servant. Issei looks awestruck, the warmth he felt from Rias' hug was so comforting. "I know… But I am sorry, I cannot accept your feelings. I already love someone else." Issei had expected that answer, but a part of him had hoped he would get a different respond.

"I know! I know but… I can't stop my own feelings." Issei felt his eyes getting heavier, he felt like he was near tears from the pain of rejection he was feeling in his heart. And the feeling of jealousy towards Itachi swelling further.

"Issei, listen to me. I don't dislike you, in fact… I admire a lot of the qualities within you. If I already weren't in love with Itachi, I might actually have gone for you." Despite how gentle Rias tried to be in her rejection, that line still felt like a punch to the gut.

"… I get it. Itachi-senpai is cooler than me… he is stronger, smarter and better looking." Issei looked down. His spirit couldn't have sunken lower at this point.

Rias on the other hand, shakes her head in responds. "Issei, those qualities don't matter to me. Yes, they are good qualities to have, but they are not the reason as to why I fell in love with Itachi."

"… Then, what?" Issei mumbled.

"Issei, you in fact possess those similar qualities I find attractive about Itachi, what I find attractive in a man. You and Itachi share some unexpected similarities." Issei looks dumbfounded and confused. How was he similar to someone like Itachi?

"I-I don't know… I don't stack up to a guy like Itachi-senpai. I mean, he and I are nothing alike. I am a pervert, and he is some badass devil valiant warrior. I mean, I am stupid as hell compared to him. He is way stronger and more popular than me."

"Like I said, although those are good qualities to have, those are not what I find attractive. The reason I love Itachi, is his kindness, his willingness to help others, his strong desire to protect those that he loves. That and his quirky personality, which although you don't exactly share similar personalities. You are both quirky and fun in your own way. You and Itachi share those qualities." Rias smiled as she thought back on her experiences with Itachi, the first day they met he protected her and Sona regardless of the danger he put himself in. He showed her nothing but respect and kindness. Itachi rescued so many people, Kuroka, Koneko, Bob, Jack, Raven. Always acting selfless, so unlike any other devil Rias has known. And no matter the obstacle, Itachi always faced it head on. Rias loved and admired those qualities about Itachi, and his quirky personality stoic monotone personality and his slight introverted tendencies tend to make some cute moments that Rias simply loves to see in him.

"… Really? B-But-" Issei was still in disbelief that Rias compared him to someone she held in such high regard.

"True you are not as strong as Itachi, but that can easily be fixed with some more training. You don't have his high keen level of intellect. And looks wise… well he's got you beat. But I think you downplay your looks. You don't exactly look bad. In fact, if you weren't so perverted, and actively played sports and did well in school. I think you might have had a little fan club like Yuuto and Itachi." At hearing this Issei backtracked in complete shock.

"R-Really?" If he simply did all those things girls would fawn over him?! No, no, no! Issei knew that wasn't possible, he couldn't deny his true passion for oppai.

Rias giggles at Issei's silly reaction. "Seriously, you've attracted cute girls like Asia, Irina and Xenovia and you still haven't realized you are popular?"

Issei blinks, looking even more shocked than ever. "Eh? Attracted?"

Rias nods in confirmation. "Attracted."

"Asia, Irina and Xenovia?" Issei asks again to be sure if he heard Rias right.

Rias nods again. "I mean, with Asia it's pretty obvious. Back during the Holy Sword incident, Irina looked your way a lot. And Xenovia has been asking a lot of questions about you to the rest, so clearly you have caught her eye."

Issei is left standing there gawking in shock, and utter disbelief. "N-No, that can't be… Asia is just super kind to everyone! And naïve! And innocent! There is no way she would be attracted to a pervert like me! And Irina looks at me like her foolish childhood friend, who if I may remind you, didn't even know she was a girl this whole time! And Xenovia is… she uhh, she's just curious about Ddraig and his power!" Issei was flailing his arms in a panic at the thought.

Rias sighed, feeling sorry for the girls. She really needed to spell it out to her dense servant. "You are also the one who showed Asia a world she didn't know, you saved her life, gave her a new home. And like you said, you are Irina's precious childhood friend, who she loved to play with as kids. That could have easily evolved into love. I mean, it did for me in regards to Itachi. And Xenovia, well I won't deny she is attracted to the power of Ddraig. But you are also the one who took care of her body after she died during the Kokabiel incident. And the one who her dearest best friend Asia looks up to. She would naturally be interested in a guy like you." Rias could tell Issei was still not convinced, Maou help her poor dense servant. "What? Do you think I would lie to you? I consider you to be like a foolish younger brother. And I view Asia as my cute little sister."

Issei looks in awe that Rias thought of him as someone that important, and was left in deep thought about Asia, Irina and Xenovia. One thing had become clear, his love would remain one sided with Rias. At least in the romantic way. "So, I should give up on you then?"

Once again, Rias hugs Issei and smiles. "Romantically, yes. But as my cute little servant I still expect great results from you. You still want to fulfill your dream of becoming Harem King, don't you?"

He had confessed his love for her, and he was turned down. Yet, he didn't feel any pain at this very moment. Issei smiled and began crying with determination. "Yes ma'am! I will serve the noble Gremory household! And work my way to becoming a High-Class devil! I will become Harem King!"

Rias giggles at his declaration, such a fun and unique quirky declaration. "That's good, a devil should have high ambitions to work harder."

"Rias Buchou, I… thank you for listening to me." Issei gave a respectful bow, and made his exit. As Issei is walking down the corridor, unbeknownst to him Itachi is standing behind a pillar. Issei looks startled and nearly jumps back, he gawks in surprise and looks a bit embarrassed, wondering if Itachi had heard everything. Issei felt a little worried if Itachi was upset at the fact that Issei tried to take Rias away from him just now.

"Got a little confidence boost there?" Itachi however just smiled at him, causing Issei to look caught off guard.

"Uh, yeah… Rias Buchou really is a kind person." At this Itachi nods in agreement.

"She really is. Oh, and just so you know. If Rias wouldn't have had me here, I'm glad she would have someone like you here. Later." With that, Itachi leaves giving a wave at the surprised Issei.

Itachi walks out on the balcony, and joins Rias who is watching the purple sky of the Underworld. "I was sort of hoping you would be a little jealous." Rias had a playful look on her face as she looked at Itachi from over her shoulder.

"Who is to say I'm not?" Itachi played along, he walked up next to Rias, watching the sky together.

"Are you?" Rias gave a curious look.

"In a sense I suppose, but not in that way." Itachi wasn't jealous over the thought that Rias would end up with Issei. If it would have been what made Rias happy, he would be all for it. Would he be a bit sad? Perhaps, he did love Rias a great deal after all. But if Itachi was jealous in some sort of form towards the pervert, it would be how Issei has seemed to manage to overcome his inner demons.

"Heh, why did I know you would say that?" Rias gave a light chuckle, leaning her head onto Itachi's shoulder, whilst also grabbing ahold of his hand. Twirling their fingers together, her dainty hand in his big, strong and rough hands.

"…" Itachi turned his head a bit to the side, he wasn't good at dealing with emotions like these, although he had gotten used to the advances from Rias and the other girls. There were simple moments like these that would sometimes even make his heart skip a beat.

Rias seeing this reaction from Itachi, smiled brightly and giggled. Her eyes swooned over him. She had the look of someone who was in love. "Quirky and cute." Rias mumbled to herself. Itachi flinched a bit, he wasn't used to being called cute and couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed, although he didn't let it show. But Rias knew, she could spot the small things like that about Itachi.

"… Please stop." Itachi looked calm and stoic, but Rias felt like teasing him a bit more.

"Make me~" Was her responds, looking with a little devilish cute smirk. Itachi rolled his eyes a bit, then he cupped his right hand around her face. Itachi leaned his face in closer to Rias, their eyes locking for a short moment before their lips connect in a passionate kiss. "Mmh!" Rias moaned a bit from the kiss. Rias' lips tasted sweet like strawberries, and were soft and warm. Itachi's left hand trailed down her back, Rias flinched a bit at Itachi acting more forward than usual. Just as he was about to pull away, Rias pulled him in, her tongue aggressively entering his mouth. Itachi looks in shock, his tongue massaging against Rias'. Rias pulled away for a moment to catch her breath, panting a bit.

"Rias, I-" Before Itachi could say anything Rias smashed her lips against his once again. Itachi was further surprised as she leaned onto him, pushing his back against the wall. He didn't protest nor feel the need to, it was enjoyable for him, but at the same time things were about to go too far. Itachi had to pull himself away, he could feel himself that he was about to start going too far.

Rias' face looked a bit hot and heavy, having turned into a slight shade of red. "That was… a nice way to shut me up, don't you think?" She playfully stroked his cheek. Itachi was surprised as with the way Rias was looking at him, he felt like he might actually start feeling flustered. It was a feeling Itachi hadn't felt since he did with Izumi when they were kids. Itachi however, managed to remain composed and look calm. Rias didn't let up however, letting out playful giggles as if she could tell he was actually feeling a little bit flustered despite his composed demeanor.

"Since when did you get this aggressive?" Rias usually was aggressive, but she had never been to this extent before.

"Mm, I don't want to get left behind… I won't let Akeno win." Rias mumbled while pouting. It seems Akeno was influencing her behavior, or at least inspiring Rias to act more aggressive. At this Itachi couldn't help but let out a light chuckle. "I… didn't make you feel uncomfortable, did I?"

"Not at all." Itachi in responds held her in a warm embrace, causing Rias to nuzzle her head against his chest. "… We should probably retire to bed soon. We have to discuss tomorrow whether we're going to delete the memories of our human friends or not." Rias gave a mere nod, and they walked back into the mansion, with Rias linking their arms together.

Issei was in a guest room of the Gremory mansion, he had been rejected, but it didn't feel as awful as he had originally thought it would. Issei was about to go to bed, when suddenly someone was knocking on his door. "Yeah?" Issei called out, and the door opened and in entered Asia in her nightgown, and Xenovia in only her underwear, black panties and a latex bra, and there was Aika Kiryuu in borrowed pajamas from Rias, of course from when she was a bit younger. "A-Asia…? X-Xenovia? And Kiryuu?" Issei mumbled in confusion, he felt like he was about to swallow his tongue, between Asia's see-through nightgown and Xenovia's sexy underwear. Why Aika was here he had no idea, although without her glasses and her hair let down, she sort of looked cute. But Issei knew the dark perverted personality hidden in this girl.

"I-Issei-san… W-We had hoped to spend the night with you…" Asia fumbled a bit in her words, looks like her nerves were getting the best of her.

"I refuse to leave Asia's side, so unfortunately Issei, I have not come here to practice child making. But I still very much would enjoy sleeping with you." Xenovia said as usual with a straight face, Asia's jaw looked like it would drop as Xenovia was so blunt compared to her.

"I won't leave Asia's side either, and she wants to sleep in the same bed as you. Careful so your hands don't wander, Hyoudou~" Aika said in a teasing tone accompanied by a smug looking smirk. Issei felt like he wanted to wipe that smirk of her annoyingly cute face.

"A-Ah, sure…" Issei felt nervous, especially considering the recent conversation he had with Rias being fresh in his mind. Before Issei knew it, he was sandwiched between Xenovia and Asia in bed, with Aika lying next to Asia. 'This is awesome!' Issei smiled from ear to ear in his mind, he probably would be too excited to get any sleep tonight.

Meanwhile, Itachi was also currently being sandwiched in bed. He was spending the night in Rias' room in the Gremory mansion. Lying in bed with Rias and Akeno occupying his right and left side. Koneko slumbering on his stomach. And Raven and Kuroka held onto his legs. Itachi looked comfortable as he slept, he had just gotten so used to sleeping like this over the years.

Rias on the other hand, was twisting and turning in her sleep. Rias let out small groans, her face was a little sweaty and her facial expression twitching a bit. She was having a nightmare.

Rias' vision feels like it was vibrating, as she groggily looks up, she felt scared and confused. Rias looks in confusion as her vision clears up, she sees a dead woman in a pool of her own blood. Rias didn't know this woman, at least she thought she didn't. 'What's going on? Why do I feel like I have been here before?' Rias shakingly looks up, seeing an assailant in the doorway wielding a short sword stained in the red blood of the woman on the floor.

Rias' throat felt dry, she couldn't speak. The assailant's body was covered by a shade of darkness, his eyes red and illuminating some of his facial features in the dark. Then the image turns all static, and the next thing Rias knew she was laying on her back. She feels gentle yet rough familiar hands holding onto her, salty wet tears dripping down onto her face. The assailant was crying. Rias looks up to get a good view of the man's face, although was shocked to learn that it was Itachi. He looked younger. His eyes were activated into the sharingan. No, it was different, it had a black pinwheel shape in it. His red glowing eyes reflected as lights from the tears in his eyes. Itachi wore some strange armor, and he had a forehead protector with a strange symbol on it that Rias didn't recognize.

Itachi mumbled something, but she couldn't hear what he was saying. Then everything turned black, and she woke up staring into Itachi's black calming eyes. "You feeling, okay?" Itachi asks with concern in his voice, while with his gentle yet rough hands he stroked her cheek comfortingly.

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine… it was just a weird dream, nothing more." Itachi caresses her cheek, looking lovingly into her eyes while doing so.

"What was it about?"

Rias sighs and shakes her head trying to recall the dream, but like any dream the details of it were slipping from her mind. "I can't even remember… But you were there, holding me in your arms, crying."

At this Itachi just raises his brow. "Crying, huh? Must have been some dream, it takes a lot for me to cry."

At this Rias couldn't help but giggle a little. "Yeah, half the time you barely show emotions." Rias teased to which Itachi adopted a smirk on his face.

"Hey, I can show emotions." He held Rias closer to ease her mind from her nightmare. "It was only a dream, let's try and get some sleep." Rias nods and closes her eyes, a smile on her face as she nuzzles up against Itachi.

Meanwhile, in an unknown location the hooded figure who resurrected Itachi looked over a recording of Itachi's battle with Juggernaut Drive Issei. "Good, now rest my child… Rest, for these peaceful times will not last forever. But do not fret, you will have time to grow stronger long before my plan can commence. My secret weapon, I need you at full power after all." The hooded figure let out a menacing chuckle, his blue glowing eyes reflecting in his crystal ball, the light from his eyes illuminating some facial features, he looked really skinny and long in the face, although it was still unclear in the lighting of his dark room.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Human world. Hidden within a secluded forest was a massive structure of a medieval castle. Within this castle's walls, two dragons had made themselves at home. Footsteps echoing within a throne room, the tiny delicate bare feet of Ophis walked over a red carpet towards the throne in the end of the room. Tailing behind her were Vali, Amon, Bikou, and the owner of the castle Arthur. Vali curiously eyes the Dragon God of Infinity, finding something to be strange about her demeanor. "You seem in a good mood." Vali pointed out to Ophis.

"Do I?" Ophis looks at Vali from the corner of her eye.

"Well, not really, you look the same. But the atmosphere around you feels lighter. So, I just assumed you were in a good mood. Albion guessed the same." Ophis gives a mild hum in responds.

"Ophis-sama…" Amon said the moment Ophis seated herself onto the throne, the Angel of Death lowering his head before the Dragon God. "Forgive me for letting a personal matter get in the way of the mission."

"It's fine." Ophis assured Amon, to which the Fallen Angel let out a sigh of relief. "You have set yourself free from the chains that restricted you before now, haven't you Amon? With the death of Diodora Astaroth, and your sister's spirit being put to rest."

Amon gives a small nod. "Yes, I feel a weight lifted off from my shoulders to be honest." At Amon's words Ophis smiles, looking pleased by the answer.

"Wonderful, then now you can fully devote yourself to your team. And to me." Once again Amon lowers his head to Ophis, and gets on his knee.

"As you wish."

"Lady Ophis, did you perhaps see him?" Arthur spoke up, the image of Great Red burnt into his mind. He wondered if Ophis as well managed to catch a glimpse of the giant dragon before he vanished back into the Dimensional Gap.

"The Red bastard? Yes, I saw him. We had a nice chat." Ophis replied, her eyes glimmering with hatred at the mere thought of Great Red.

Ophis thought back on when Great Red appeared, unbeknownst to anyone but her and Great Red himself. Great Red and Ophis spoke together on the mental plane. Ophis' mind flashbacks to that very moment. It was dark, the sound of dripping water echoing around them even if there was no water to be seen. Two lone figures stood before each other in this dark vast empty space. Ophis, and a tall young-looking man with a muscular body. The young man had wild fiery red hair, golden eyes with black slits like a dragon. He was dressed in a red open coat with the sleeves ripped off and spikes decorated around the shoulders. He wore standard jeans with holes around his legs. He looked like your typical punk, like he was a part of a biker gang. This, was Great Red in his human form.

The long silence was broken with three mere words from Ophis. "I hate you." Ophis' voice dripped in venom as she stared at the figure of Great Red. Yet despite her hatred, Ophis had a relaxed smile and her usual facial expression.

"Yeah, I know. You always start by saying that." Great Red sighs, sounding annoyed. The mighty dragon lazily leaned back with his hands tucked into his pockets. "Let me guess. You still want to kill me? Too bad you aren't allowed back into the Dimensional Gap. In there we can fight to our hearts content."

Ophis levitated up to Great Red's eye level. "My goal to kill you, has never been more reachable than it is now. The Vanishing Dragon, the Angel of Death, descendant of Pendragon and the Monkey King are on my side." Great Red however, does not look impressed at Ophis' allies. "And soon, I will have a new ally. I know you have seen him. Watched him through the Dimensional Gap, or at the very least you have sensed him."

Great Red looks relaxed, and narrowed his gaze at Ophis. "The Devil born with the power of five Shinto Gods." Great Red sounded cool and collected in his tone of voice, yet Ophis had a victorious smirk planted on her face.

"Oh, you getting worried now? I can tell. Despite your calm demeanor I can tell. I can tell you are worried. You know if I get that child on my side your days will be numbered." Ophis gloats in his face, yet Great Red snorts and cracks a smile.

"How about you come and talk to me when you actually get him on your side?" Tucking his hands back into his pockets, Great Red looks and gives off a carefree aura. Great Red then leans his face in closer to Ophis, they both glare at each other. "Bring as many little soldiers as you like, I will still kick your ass if you even step a foot inside the Dimensional Gap."

Ophis' glare intensifies as her hatred grows. "Your overconfidence will be your downfall, little brother." Ophis snarls at Great Red, who responds with a light chuckle.

"You sure you want to discuss who is the overconfident one among us? Big-" Great Red halts himself for a moment, looking at Ophis current form from top to toe. "Hmm, I guess I should call you big sis now, huh? Last time we met, you were an old monk."

Ophis smiles, both their auras intensifying to the point where this mind scape they were in began to tremble. Ophis' dark purple aura clashing with Great Red's blood red aura. "And as always, you have the appearance of some punk."

Great Red snickers. "I must say your new form is fitting… Really brings out the bratty side of you." Ophis tilts her head to the side and smiles, although Great Red can tell she is beyond angry.

"And as always your form is fitting for showing how much of a bastard you are." At her comment, Great Red merely shrugs and smiles. He actually seemed to be sort of happy to bicker with Ophis like this.

"Well, looks like I gotta head back home. Nice chatting with you, big sis. I look forward to whatever fun fight you are going to bring me one day." Great Red has a bright smile on his face, looking like he was genuinely looking forward to it.

Great Red's form then began to fade, and Ophis' smile was replaced with a frown. "I really hate you…" As Great Red vanished from the mental plane, Ophis' mind drifts to Itachi. "That child, will be mine… and you will be dead you red bastard." Ophis then cracks a smile at the thought. "Good talk."

Back in present day, Ophis let out a creepy giggle as she clenched her fist onto the armrest of her throne that was made of stone, causing it to break underneath the might of Ophis' tiny hand. Team Vali all flinched at this sudden action by Ophis. 'You look forward to whatever fun I bring you, eh? Well, I look forward to mounting your head on a wall.'

'Never mind… she is definitely pissed off.' Vali retracted his former statement.

That's the end for now!

I made it, I promised an update in April and I made it! Anyway, I probably will be delayed in updates again as I am reaching the end of this semester at school and have a few more exams to go through before summer. But I will try my best to update as soon as possible.

Now, the only thing I can think of I could have done differently in this chapter, was to make the fight between Ophis, Sirzechs and Harry a bit longer. But then again, I feel as if it wouldn't be much of a point having Ophis toy with them for too long, especially with Great Red showing up. Another thing would have been to prolong Diodora's suffering, but let's face it he stood no chance against Amon and his mutated light ability.

Speaking of Great Red, I see him and Ophis as brother and sister, on the account that both of them were born from nothingness, and both being beings of infinity and all. So, in conclusion the conflict between Ophis and Great Red is little more than a sibling quarrel, lol. I look forward myself to explore the relationship of Great Red and Ophis, I have big plans.

So, what did you guys think of this chapter and the conclusion to the Raynare storyline? I myself thought this was a fine way to end the conflict between Issei and Raynare, and put an end to Issei's fear of relationships so that his character can progress as well in this story. And for Itachi to progress as well, as he sees how Issei managed to overcome his demons, and potentially inspire him to overcome his own as well.

Anyway, leave a review!

-Later!

(Responds to reviews):

Ainz227: Rossweisse will be paired up with Bob, that is what I decided on anyway. As for the laser beams, no they are not something shown in DxD I think. It really is more of Itachi producing heat from his body while in Assault Mode, and unleashing them from his eyes as a way to aim at the target. Although I imagine some characters have no problem doing it if they wished, it would require a great control over once power I would imagine.

The Storm Master 567: Well, it was based off the Man of Steel, somewhat. The fight between Juggernaut Drive Issei and Itachi was inspired from the Death of Superman movie.

velniar314: As you can see from this chapter, Issei won't just have Asia. He will keep some of the girls he got in the original story, but not all of them. Some because I have paired said girl with another character, or some because I don't think Issei deserved said girl. Rossweisse for example won't be paired with Itachi nor Issei, but Bob. RinneSharingan Sasuke would be bellow Ophis and Great Red I believe, and stronger than Shiva, Indra, Thor etc. If Itachi got the Rinnegan it would be a different story, as Itachi has grown and learned a lot of new abilities like demonic power, senjutsu, youjutsu etc. He will also learn a lot more that will give him an edge.

: Well, your feeling was wrong lol. Rossweisse will be with Bob not Damian XD For Damian I am thinking Jack.

andresskorskiruiz: You are welcome! There will be plenty of interactions between Ophis and Itachi in the future, as for if she understands his pain. I would say yes, and kind of no. Ophis is a being that is sort of above everything, so matters of mortals don't really matter to her as she herself said she has seen countless eras come and go. Ophis said in the previous chapter that nothing truly matters to her, other than the Dimensional Gap. To her the pain Itachi feels is irrelevant, as it is another mere chapter in the violent mortal history. But she does understand why he feels pain, and could feel some form of empathy or sympathy.

Mr. Haziq: Yes, and yes.

TehStorm: Correct! Honestly I wonder if the fight with Ophis should have been longer, but the end result with Ophis seeing Great Red is what I personally think is the best result. Thoughts?

fallendemon248: The one who brought Itachi back isn't a Naruto character, but a DxD character. And thanks.

SolSparda369: That would be a horrible fate, too bad something like that hasn't been shown possible in the world of DxD. I personally think he suffered a great deal, only that it could have been a bit longer.

Dayside: A noble, perverted devil kid with lots of money? Why wouldn't it not be possible XD

Dasgun: .-.

merendinoemiliano: Thanks!

Mrjl: No problem. For me it is always a joy to write Ophis. And that is a fair criticism, less being sent flying got it. We got a bittersweet reunion for Amon and Raynare, in the end I feel it was for the best for Amon's character to progress and grow. You are right, this isn't a self-insert fic. Glad you like my OC's even if they all can't be gems. And I am sure that review which I will address next was meant for me, back during the chapter he reviewed on I had the review respond section at the start of each chapter so that is probably what he meant.

Majikss: Yeah, I didn't know what I was thinking back then. But the review respond section is at the bottom now, has been for a long time.

AlphaKenny1: That is fine, this story is not for everyone. And some may find the story I am trying to tell boring or dull, but that is fine. People are different, and have different likes and dislikes. Just as I feel like other characters in the story need development, and not just the main group aka. Itachi and the Sins.

leblanq: Okay, like I said to the last guy it is fine if you think that. But can I just ask why you are still here? A few chapters ago you left a review expressing your dislike for the story. So, why are you still here? If you don't like it, you don't have to read it you know.

federmod: Well, he never encountered the Fallen Group, but he would have steamrolled them with ease. Raynare and her group aren't a group I really care for either, but Raynare herself plays a role in not only Issei and Asia's character but also Amon's which is why she gets some focus. Eto is in this story, because I love her. Eto is my favorite character in Tokyo Ghoul, I enjoy her character and philosophy quite a bit. So, that is why she is in the story.

Guest: Here you go!

Guest: And here it is!

Ambrosios745: Thanks! I didn't really like the way it was dealt with in the original DxD story either, Issei snapping out of the Juggernaut Drive from hearing an Oppai song just felt like lazy writing to me.

razmire: I hope the punishment that bastard suffered was satisfactory to you all.

Guest: He is too OP for the start of the DxD storyline (Raynare arc, Raiser Phenex arc, Holy Sword arc etc.), not for the rest of the story overall. I mean, with beings like Ophis and Great Red who can beat any in the Naruto verse in my opinion. Itachi will get a lot stronger in this fic, that I promise.

LordZarcon: They perhaps don't in the original story, but I feel it adds some flare. Sorry, but his familiar is just a crow that can create clones for him and cast illusions. Nothing special about it.

Samsara2345: He could have gotten those as his peerage members, yes. But the reason I created OCs was to test my ability as a writer to create a character, and since it is my story, I am allowed to do so. And if people don't like it, it is fine, everyone is different in what they want and don't want.

Freddielebron: Yes.

Bisan: Here you go!

Jigen: Thank you, I enjoy writing Ophis. SPSM Naruto, and Rinnegan Sasuke would be weaker than Ophis and Great Red. Why it is different for Itachi is because of all the different abilities he has taken time to learn, like demonic power, senjutsu and youjustu and even more that is to come.

Axccel: Okay, that is fair. But I still think Itachi would admire someone who would strive to better themselves and get stronger. I mean, that is why Sasuke started paying attention to Sakura. In the novels it says Sasuke started acknowledging Sakura when she stopped focusing on him, and rather focus on herself.
