Chapter 12
Sup, its me fishbreed, sorry for not updating for a while, kind of had an overflow of ideas which just kept pulling my brains left to right, which made it a lot harder to implement without breaking the world to much, since I watch some anime and games on the side for inspiration it kind of messes with me anyways enough of me yapping and lets get on the chapter.
…
Going back to the battlefield we are greeted with dust and multiple buildings crushed from the explosion, thankfully we were in the business district so there were little to no people there in the middle of the night, but aside from no casualties you must be wondering where our two warriors who went after each other's throats are.
Deep within the rubble on one of the buildings, well I should say what was left of it, a movement began to appear, after a loud grunt of exertion we could finally see one of them, and it was Gin.
"Fuck me," Gin said trying to distract himself from the excruciating pain, what pain you ask? Well, its nothing Gin hasn't survived before but still unpleasant, one rebar stabbed through his thigh, and a shard of glass stabbed through his stomach punching through his t-shirt which was one of the clothes that wasn't made of the same material as his cloak, "well then, ain't I a representative of fuck the duck until it explodes huh," while I was punched through in more area's, but aside from that my body was broken, my right arm despite being limp and numb it still looked painful as in the middle of my forearm my bone broke in two leaving it to hang like my limp wrist just with a more crunchy sound, aside from that it looks like my left ankle got bent on an unnatural manner, clear through the fact that its currently locked in a sideways position.
"Well then… time to (ugh) confirm… my victory," Gin said as he ripped the rebar out of his leg and proceeded to use it like a crutch and moved forward, he was looking for Dante and it wasn't that hard to find him since I just needed to look for green smoke, green smoke meant that Dante was healing, he usually offsets this by using illusion magic to make it match with the surroundings or turn it white, walking close towards Dante I tripped, I let out a curse as I crashed face first on the ground, looking up from my situation I was greeted with a familiar view, in front of me was the weapon I made for Dante [Rebellion].
Crawling forward I gripped Rebellion and proceeded to use it to replace my crutch, but oh boy was that a horrible idea, why you ask? Well, it's a simple answer there, it's the fact that rebellion wasn't a normal sword, since it was a compressed mass of iron making it heavy as hell, but I didn't care, it was either from the loss of blood, the concussion I can feel ringing in my head, or it could be my stubborn ass forcing myself to gloat on top of Dante, I didn't know what pushed me but I used it, it gave me enough strength and will power to lift the blade one handed and the ability to drag it.
"I…fucking win… Dante" I said while standing over him.
"Ughhh," was the only sound Dante could make seeing his jaw was dislocated, his arms broken, his body pierced, and his overall body broken.
"See… I… fucking told… you to wear… the dam clothing…," I said tiredly but the only response I got from him was a bloody laugh, or at least it sounded like one, since he is currently focusing his regeneration on his jaw and lungs.
"Ugh… at… least let… me rune up…," I fell, "fuck… ughh, your clothes next time," I said as I stood up, "its my win," I said while dragging the blade next to him, and before I could drop it over his face, something or more specifically someone attacked, a small shrill voice sounded out.
"GET AWAY FROM MR. DANTE," a young sounding voice sounded out, before I could turn and see who it was a fireball hit me on my side, and through instincts I shot out a lightning blast at where I saw the fireball came from following that a girlish shriek sounded out and I saw a whiff of blond hair before it disappeared.
Now on my knee's after the attack I looked at Dante, Dante now had his lips and they were moved tightly, "ahhhh, fuck," I said as Dante whistled in the middle of me striking the one who attacked me with the fireball, and as soon as I realized that I heard a muffled noise of an engine and within my exhaustion and damaged state I couldn't move and got ran over by the motorcycle.
"Ughhh…." Dante forced himself to sit up, "I….. fucking win," Dante said with a shit eating grin, after that, he slung himself over the bike, and whistled which made the bike move forward.
…
Now some of you might be wondering who attacked Gin in the end, so to answer your question let's go back a few hours before everything started.
…
[a few hours before]
"Hmm, hm, hmmmmhm, hm, hmm," Dante hummed to himself as he began to look for a shop that would serve his favorite, finding the shop he parked his bike and walked towards it, but he then bumped into something, a girly noise suddenly sounded out and a wet noise from his pants, looking down he seemingly knocked down a small blond girl wearing what looks like a shrine maiden's clothing, white kimono, and red hakama just a tad smaller to fit her size, and it looked like she was about to cry, Dante now panicking since he doesn't know how to deal with children until it struck him, and so he took her into his arms and walked into the ice cream shop, "now, now, don't cry," Dante said but now she looked panicked and in tears, "ughh.. to make it up to you why don't you get yourself some ice cream and I'll pay for it," Dante said which got her eyes to sparkle.
Minutes later Dante walked out with a strawberry Sunday and next to him was a small girl with a tub of ice cream that was almost as tall as her and twice her size, "so, I notice you are alone," Dante said while squatting down next to the blond girl, she looked at Dante, "so, where are your parents? Someone as young as you, despite being in japan i'm pretty sure they won't let you run along at night," Dante asked.
"Hmmm," she answered by stuffing her mouth with her ice cream.
"Ok, I get it, either your parents are working or they aren't here, but I get you, must be tough though being all alone," Dante looked to the side, "Just make sure to spend as much time as you can with them since you never know when the last would be," the blond girl just looked at him.
"Kunou," the blond girl said.
"Huh?" Dante sounded out.
"Kunou, my name, my name is Kunou," she said more forcefully this time.
"Oh, then my name is Dante," Dante said while holding his strawberry Sunday out to clink with her, she however shoved her spoon at his Sunday and laughed as she ate, Dante despite his favorite being tainted by the ice cream on her spoon.
After that little interaction, both of them became friends, Dante and Kunou then hopped on Dante's bike and rode all around Kyoto, there they visited ramen stores, snack stores, and general food stands while causing some chaos with their little pranks.
"Hahahaha, again again again," Kunou said in front of Dante's bike.
"Alright, hold on Kunou," Dante said as he revved his bike and rushed through the streets speeding by cars, jumping walls, and riding up walls while doing tricks, while doing all of those Kunou just laughed to her heart's content.
[an hour later]
Ring.
Ring.
Ring.
Click.
"Hello? Dante hear, hmm, huh really?… right now?… ok… yeah know that place… hmmm… alright I'll be there in a few minutes," I then ended the call.
"Who was that Mr?" Kunou asked.
"Sorry, but I need to go now," she pouted at me, "Don't be like that…… look I will meet you when I have time," which made her smile, "Alright, now where do you live?" Soon after that, I dropped Kunou and went ahead to where I was told to meet.
[flash back end]
As Dante was returning to his group a huge commotion had occurred, due to the little fox girl's appearance her mother found a familiar scent that roused her from her sleep, but not a second after regaining her consciousness she heard her daughter scream in agonizing pain, while normally being in her weakened state would lead to minimal results but due to Georg's magicless state and the theoretically infinite magic she can access through the ley lines she easily broke free but this time with twice the fury.
Dante seeing the current situation and noting their goals knew he only had one option now, "well shit," Dante said while getting off his bike, his body was somewhat healed now since he mostly focused on healing his arms and legs on the way there, "welp, let's hope this works… Uryu, Gin is knocked out around the center of the blast," he said as he felt Uryu behind him.
"Noted," Uryu responded as he moved forward.
"Welp, with that out of the way its time to check this bitch," Dante said as he pulled out Ebony and Ivory.
"Arata 20%, activate," Dante said as a black and red mask covered his mouth and the rest coated his guns, "Noise 80%," he said as the mouths on his hands extended and dispersed two engines on the side that produced sounds equal to a jet revving up, "Magical output Maximum," and the magic began to gather to the mouths, but the noise caught all there attention, subsequently making the enrage Yokai charge at Dante to prevent whatever he is doing, however, the humans who could fight instantly came to his protection.
Jeanne and her sword dragon came in first using its size and durable nature to stop its rampage, then Siegfried came in using a standard holy sword lightsaber that he pumped full with his magic and struck air hard enough to send a wave of magic, the slash was strong enough to pin the giant monster towards the ground while sacrificing the construct, Cao Cao seeing the monster pinned and the dissipating nature of the attack he extended his spear and slammed it down the beast.
"Lethal: false," after that the sound of the jet turbine became loud enough to drown out every noise around them, Dante fully charging his attack pointed the two cannons with dragon heads towards her, making sure they hit each other when pointing the cannons at the monster to get a satisfying clink, "jackpot," and a huge beam flowed out of the cannons shattering through Jeanne's sword dragon and directly hitting the giant fox.
…
…
…
"Ugh…," Issei grunted out as he pushed himself from the ground, and from the outside, he could be seen on the ground panting and exhausted, looking up at Raiser who seemed pissed and a little worse for wear.
[flash back]
"Alright that's it," Issei encouraged Kiba and Koneko who were fighting each other. Kiba used his speed advantage to the fullest as he performed a perfect hit and run with the sword he called swift strike, it's a demonic sword that increases the user's speed and strike speed since we figured out that Kiba's sword birth can create any sword with any effect it gave me an idea, so I told him one of the swords I always used as a speed run tool in valley of lust.
It was a sword called Swift Strike, it was your average dual edge blade but its guard were shaped into white wings, in the game it didn't give the effects until you had the gale armor equipped but since Kiba cant make armor this will do.
Aside from that, I managed to convince Kiba that it is better to be prepared in every situation so under his blazer, there are multiple small knives with their own effect, most of them are passive since we thought this could help, and to list a few of the knives.
[self explanatory list]
knife of focus.
knife of fortitude.
knife of instincts.
and knife of perception.
these knives are as stated self explanatory since their ability correlates to their name, also despite their effects they are very minimal, we did try to see if their effects were stackable, and by our experiments, it seems like it's not the case and it seems like the effects are not as effective as Issei wanted.
By human standards, it would turn a normal human into an expert athlete level, but to our already above superhuman level it wasn't that much of an increase, but we were gathering all the benefits we could get.
Koneko the rook, didn't have anything like Kiba, she can't make things that increase her power except for her enhancing herself with demonic energy like any devil, also learning how devils enhanced themselves from Akeno, I was surprised since the enhancement wasn't much, devils increased there power by flooding their bodies with magic, Issei had done this and was surprised that the magic inside his body was oozing out too fast, and with his little magic power it was gone as soon as he activated it, So when he trained Koneko he always told her to contain her magic power more.
And her response, "I'm a rook," which she did have a point, which led to my counterpoint.
"You have magic," which then led our second week of personal training to mostly rely on sparring and sparring while she controls her magic power, quite similar to Kiba's training, just change magic with sacred gear, though he still needs to work on creation speed since I come to notice that you can punch through his swords mid creation.
Koneko, on the other hand, is simply the manipulation of her magic, I took the principles they told me, Koneko told me to focus, Kiba widened my vision, Akeno taught me how to focus the magic, well half of those are already known to me but what caught my eye was the focus part, you see I come to realize that even if we didn't know it a layer of magic is around us, my guess is that's it's a natural protection and compared to Koneko our's is like paper to cardboard, while both may not be a good analogy it still works, Koneko's is thicker than ours and if she can freely manipulate it could increase her already developing arsenal, she already uses magic to give her a boost in speed, now if we can turn that into power and defense she would be unstoppable.
Koneko and Kiba are at it, the training we had done has quite the effect on them, currently, Koneko is trying to better her control over her aura that covers her as a rook to increase her capabilities, while Kiba is trying to block and parry Koneko's attacks to increase his dexterity and durability and his creation speed.
"Please go easy on me Koneko," Kiba said as he parried a punch from Koneko which shattered his sword.
"If possible," Koneko replied as she twisted her body turning her straight jab to a hook aimed at his side.
Kiba blocked the blow by forming a sword mid air to soften the blow, despite that though he still skidded backwards from the impact.
Stopping himself, he didn't get a break as Koneko didn't stop and dashed at him firing a flurry of blows, however, Kiba didn't just sit there and take it as he made a sword that created a barrier to stop her, after stopping her he dashed forward moving the shield along with him subsequently pushing her away creating some distance that Kiba took advantage of and proceeded to throw daggers at her.
Seeing them fight a thought passed through my head, 'wonder how Asia is with her barriers now', since a week ago I had spoken about it.
"Don't worry Issei, I and Akeno can protect her," Rias said.
"I can see that, but if Asia is somehow separated from you two it would be favorable if she can defend herself," Issei said.
"Well he does bring up a plausible situation," Akeno said.
"Well since she is going to be a support, why not teach her strengthening?" Kiba tossed in his to sense in.
"Sweet," Koneko said.
"While that would be a favorable addition, It would be doubtful if she can master or even be able to make it fight capable in such as small amount of time," Rias said.
"Don't forget the volatile nature of support magic when not done properly," she added with a giggle.
"She makes a good point," Kiba said.
"Not wicked," Koneko said.
"So everyone on board with the shield magic?" Issei asked and everyone nodded.
…
A loud explosion of lightning could be heard.
"Oh my, splendid job Asia," she said in the smoke a green light could be seen, as it cleared away Asia with both her hands open palms stretched out.
"Thank you Akeno," Asia said as she let go of her barrier, and she dropped on her knees.
"You truly are talented in magic Asia," Akeno said with a small clap, "now the next step is forming it from a distance," she said as she demonstrated by forming a small red sphere on a leaf.
…
[Night time]
Issei could be seen walking out of his room wearing a dark brown hoodie, walking towards the kitchen he grabbed a pitcher of water and just poured the water straight into his mouth, drinking half of the water inside the pitcher he refilled it, now freshly filled with water he proceeds outside to do his own personal training.
His training isn't difficult seeing that he is focusing on the basics, seen on the outside on a clearing, performing kicks, punches, knee elbows, counter, and parries, and all those skills he repeats without fail, every movement repeated over, and over, and over, and over again drilling each motion deep into his muscles and body, combined with the nature of renewal taekwondo using rotation to increase the power of his strikes makes it look like a violent dance of attacks, it was majestic in an artistic way since due to his mastery over these skills makes it looks as natural as breathing, and all of these motions can be observed by one red headed woman.
It had started on the fourth day of their training, where she had originally wanted to shift the training to focus on improving Issei's stamina to maximize the power he could increase with his sacred gear, and with all that in her mind, she was stressed and just like every time she is overwhelmed she walked out of her study room and watch the full moon, the moon was what she wanted to be, so free and open, never conforming to the world, to her it was the perfect representation of what she had wanted, to be free, to freely show the world her desires and being allowed to change whenever she wants, and as she was contemplating her choices she heard the wind, not the natural wind that blows strongly on the third floor but something that was flowing against the wind as if cutting through the air itself, after that she spent every night taking a break watching the mesmerizing sights of Issei polishing his skills basking in the moonlight.
Now is the same as every night, but something was different, Issei's movements became more rapid, his usual movements that were strung up together like a dance had shifted, no longer a dance but as a tornado, a torrent of nature, something natural yet not, his movements that were cutting through the world had now seemingly become part of the world, every kick, spin, punch, rotation, it was as if Issei Hyoudou was never there, as if he was a figment of one's imagination despite clearly seeing him perform right in front of her very eyes, and as Issei reached the final steps he stood still, still enough that if you didn't know you could easily mistake him for a statue, but before he left he looked at her, not at her general direction and not over her but he looked at her eyes, and as there eyes met he smiled before her, he started walking towards the forest.
…
…
…
Knock.
Knock.
Knock, "Can I come in?" Asia's voice sounded out from behind the door.
"Sure, i'm all dressed up now," Issei said as not a moment later the door opened.
"Miss Rias told me to inform you that we will be going in a moment," she said with a blush seeing Issei's back, and in front of her was Issei, dawned in his usual white shirt but this time his blazer had its sleeves tied around his hips freely displaying the outline of a calm tiger over his back.
"Oh, well it seems like you followed her advice to wear what your comfortable with huh," he said with a smile.
"I-i'm sorry, i-its just that-" she began to stutter like usual but this time was stopped by Issei patting her head to calm her down.
"I get it, changes are never always that pleasant, so to calm you down why don't we just calmly sit down," Issei said as he sat down on his bed and proceeded to pat next to him.
"I-if you insist," she said hesitantly while sitting next to him, Issei mistaking her shyness for anxiousness for there upcoming fight pulled her head into his chest.
'Oh no, wait wait wait, I I I i'm not ready yet, ohhhhhh,' were the thoughts that flied through Asia's thoughts in that moment.
"Its alright Asia, we will win this fight so you don't have to be anxious," Issei said cutting through Asia's fantasies, but with that she instantly calmed down and as she did she felt Issei's calming aura and his rhythmically beating heart calming her down.
There they spent the time beside each other, Issei comforting Asia, and Issei letting out his worries about the upcoming fight, because despite his experience in real combat the unpredictability of a battle field is always there.
…
Sooner rather than later we entered the school, because despite our magic Issei knew well that he wasn't capable of teleportation by himself, besides he wanted to walk there to take off the edge of his worries but it looked like he wasn't the only one with that idea as on his way there he spotted Kiba and koneko, there as they were walking they were also surprised but none the less a pleasant surprise and as all three of them walked in companionable silence but given Issei's personality he talked.
"Hey guys," Issei said catching Kiba and Koneko's attention, "Lets do our best alright," Issei said while sticking out his fist.
"Yeah, lets," Kiba said with a smile.
"Lets roast those chicks," Koneko said.
…
"Good luck on your game Rias," Sona said because she was Rias's best friend.
"Thank you Sona," Rias said and after sharing a small chat they then departed, walking in her room everyone was positioned around the table, "Issei, you shouldn't wear your uniform like that, a little regards from Sona," she said lightening the situation as everyone laughed or chuckled, after the mood lightened, "Alright everyone i'd like to inform you of our strategy," she said as she then pointed around the small map placed on the table they were circling, she told Kiba, Koneko, and Akeno to use there familiars, Kiba and Koneko's are used for recon since they can share senses with there familiars and with there natural skills it would be less likely that they get caught, with Kiba's hawk he surveyed the sky while Koneko's cat familiar stealthily moved around the ground, while Akeno began to set traps around the forest and a mist that disorients the senses of the people who enter the mist of illusions.
While everyone began to fortify the occult research club building, "Issei," Rias said, "come here," she said while patting the couch beside her, Issei having no problem with this request followed, but after he sat down Rias held his head making Issei blush imagining that she would kiss him, but surprisingly she didn't because she placed his head over her lap.
"Uhm, president? What are you doing?" Issei asked Rias.
"Hm hm hm," she laughed melodically, "you see when I first reincarnated you I had to use all 8 pawn pieces," she said while she rubbed his head, "due to that I had to seal some of the pawn piece's to not overwhelm your body with its power, and now i'm unsealing them," said as she rubbed his head.
"Ahh, thank you," Issei said as he got comfortable on her lap.
As Issei continued to get comfortable on Rias's lap a certain green eyed blond could be seen jealously pouting at this view, but unknown to both of them Rias was currently panicking in her mind, why you ask? Well its because the seals were forcibly broken through completely breaking the conditions placed on the pieces, but Rias calmed down seeing that despite the situation her connection with Issei is still there lessening her worry about one of her family member turning into a stray.
[moments later]
Koneko and Issei could be seen around the gymnasium that was until three girls entered the gymnasium reveling two green haired twins whom were pawns if the footage they watched could be believed, while beside them was the chinese one who is a rook and on the other side was another pawn, her skills were well polished, two were proper fighters and two were children with chainsaws.
"You ready?" Issei asked Koneko.
"Bring it," Koneko said.
The moment the girls entered the building Koneko jumped out positioning herself as if she was prepared to jump out of the wall, and Issei's foot came out from the shadows kicking at Koneko launching her at blinding and before the two small girls could notice Koneko she was fist deep in there stomachs.
[Riser phenex's pawns ile and nel are the first to he eliminated] a calm and familiar voice announced.
As the announcement was voiced the two instantly knew not to hold back, "Xuelan," Mira said as both of them rushed at Koneko, Xuelan's fist blazed which the phenex clan was famous for and the tip of Mira's staff did the same, but before they could strike Koneko, rocks suddenly came flying at them hitting there respective striking tools, redirecting there strikes giving Koneko an opening, from her position she grabbed Xuelan's arm and proceeded to use her as a hammer to slam Mira on the ground, now both Xuelan and Mira on the ground Koneko jumped up reaching the railings, then with her newly learned movement technique and her full strength she leaped at them at full force landing a devastating punch that left a crater where they were.
[Riser phenex's pawn Mira and rook Xuelan have been eliminated]
While Koneko was standing there behind her on the second floor of the gymnasium had an opened window, as outside Issei has been distracting Riser's one and only queen since in the rating game videos Riser always sends out his queen Yubelluna when either one or a squad of his team are eliminated, because despite his cocky and assholeness Riser is surprisingly a strategist because in all his rating games he didn't just send out his girls to die but to gain experience and to gauge his opponents power, and once his sister joined that became her job, so currently Issei is distracting Yubelluna from reaching the gymnasium.
"You must be the new pawn of the Gremory, shall we see how you compare," she said while dodging the last rock Issei threw, she then prepared to strike him with an explosion, but before she could Issei caught something familiar to her, it was a staff with both ends being covered by a stuffed cloth.
"I don't know what you mean by that," Issei said as he pulled the rope that was tied to the cloth making it fall with a soft thud showing that despite its softness it still had some weight on it, "But i'm pretty confident with my abilities," Issei then got on a stance, both legs bent down on a bracing stance with the staff under his right arm, and his left arm's elbow perpendicular to his hips and his palm pointed at her direction, "So, if you don't mind, are up for a little dance with this human," Issei said with a confident grin.
She silently laughed at Issei's confident declaration, "alright love, lets dance," she said as multiple circles around her formed, she then blew a kiss towards Issei and out of instincts Issei rolled to the side, and his instincts seem to be correct as the area exploded.
"You know its rude to reject a girls love," as soon as she said that the magic circles behind her moved and pointed at Issei, but before an explosion happened Issei ripped off a piece of the roof with the staff and flung it forward, blocking her vision and as Issei expected the piece of the roof exploded proving that she needs direct vision.
"And don't you know its bad manners to execute someone before the first date," Issei said as he began to spin his staff rapidly while making sure to scrape up the floor to throw as much debris as he could to cover himself, as he did this Yubelluna fired off as much magic as she could to strike him but as it continued the explosion just covered the area in smoke, knowing that if this continued she would be at a disadvantage she changed plans and shifted her magic circle, she stretched out her palm and a magic circle from in front of it and a blast of fire gushed out from her hand igniting the smoke and subsequently making a dust explosion clearing the dust and making the roof visible again.
But as the smoke disappeared she couldn't see anything on the roof, but that was until she heard something creak as she looked down, there she saw Issei who had jammed the staff into the building and it began to bend, but as soon as she saw him it was to late the staff had already violently sprung back to its regular shape launching him upwards, upon getting close enough Issei launched a barrage of punches making her take a step back, Issei seeing her position went into action, bursting his wings pushed him forward enough to reach Yubelluna, reaching Yubelluna Issei grabbed her locking in her arms and wings preventing her from moving.
"Quite bold aren't we," she said.
"Don't worry, it wont last long," Issei said as he also pulled his wings back in making both of them plummet to the ground, and by there hight they had a long way down.
"Hmm, you think something like this could do something," she said as she then tried to escape but found that she couldn't, "Did you promote into a rook before attacking," she said in a panic as she realized that this could actually be dangerous.
"I don't know about that one," Issei said as they got closer to the ground, "But its goodnight," Issei said as seconds before impacting the roof he let go and bursted his wings out to try to lessen the impact,
"ISSEI!!!" Koneko yelled out in worry since she couldn't see where Issei was because of the smoke from crashing through the dusty roof.
But her worries were alleviated as Issei could be seen rolling away from the smoke, but Issei however didn't see this as a relieving situation since he remembered the plan well and hearing Koneko he knew they were both in danger, so Issei searched for Koneko and after spotting her at the second floor, and with panic I jumped at full speed.
[DYNAMIC EXIT] I yelled out as I aimed a kick just behind Koneko, as my foot passed by Koneko I positioned my hands to grab her, the moment my foot came in contact with the wall I activated my sacred gear breaking through the wall just in time because if they were a second to late they would have been caught by the massive lightning strike that fell on gymnasium.
Issei slid back as he tried to stop the momentum that he got from breaking through the wall and the additional push that the explosion gave him, "You alright Koneko?" Issei asked after stopping himself.
"Squeaky," she said as she got out of Issei's embrace.
As they were speaking and checking up on each other someone on the air was talking, "fufufufu, I do wish our little play lasted longer, but a short and satisfying end is welcomed," Akeno said as her fingers gently laid on her lips.
"My, its such an honor to meet you," Yubelluna's voice sounded out with in the smoke, "priestess of thunder," she said as with in the smoke a green light shined, after that a fire ball was shot out towards Issei, luckily Koneko was there to take the hit, and with her more refreshed reserves she managed to form a barrier to take the hit and without being knocked out.
"Fuck, Koneko are you alright," Issei asked as he caught Koneko who was blasted back a bit from the blast.
"I'm fine, now that Akeno is here we can dip, find Kiba and smoke anyone in our way," she said grabbing her shoulder.
"You got this Akeno!?" Issei asked.
"Worry not Issei, I can handle her," Akeno said.
"Sweet," Koneko said as she grabbed Issei and ran towards Kiba's location.
[one of Riser's pawn has retired] the announcer said.]
"That must have been Kiba," Issei said.
"Most likely," Koneko said as when they reached the gym storage room, and as they got there Kiba exited from the bushes.
"You ok?" Issei asked Kiba.
"I'm ok, but sadly I wasn't fast enough to catch the other two," Kiba said.
"Better than none," Koneko said.
"She has a point, but how did they escape?" Issei asked out of curiosity.
"Well everything was going as we planned," Kiba then went into detail about the moment they entered the forest they were struggling within the fog and the traps, but as soon as the announcement about the group for the gymnasium getting eliminated Riser suddenly informed then to return because of the miss calculations, after noticing that they wont push further Kiba decided to take action, but they noticed him sooner than he though, seconds later the two empowered the maid and left her to hold him back leading to the one elimination.
"Well shit," Issei said, "its best not to play around Kiba, with the extra changes we cant predict there plans now," Issei said and as soon as he said that the ear piece given to them by Rias began to transfer sound.
"Plans have changed," Rias's voice came out through the ear piece surprising Issei a little.
"What do you mean?" Issei asked.
"As I said plans have changed, due to there movements the plans have changed from here, Kiba and Issei catch there attention, Koneko I want you to support Akeno," she said while she sneakily left the building with Asia.
"Well its better than nothing," Issei said.
"Kick there asses alright," Koneko said.
"We will try our best," Kiba said.
We all nodded to each other and split, Koneko going to the direction of the fiery explosions of lightning that seemed to be a war zone, while Kiba and Issei moved closer towards the new school building.
"COME OUT YOU COWARDS, OR ARE YOU TO CHICKEN TO FIGHT," Issei said aloud in the middle of the track field.
"These boys must have a death wish," a cocky voice sounded out as a blond girl wearing a pink lolita dress.
"Its best to not underestimate them lady Ravel," a redish brown haired woman said.
"Be careful of the knight specifically," a woman with light brown hair said.
"That may be true but that pawn managed to hold off Yubelluna, he at least poses a little threat," a woman with black hair said while walking out of the bushes.
"Doesn't matter, i'll handle the knight, you guys got the pawn," a woman with dirty blond hair that wore armor and some bandages on her head.
"Well then I guess I have my opponent," Kiba said while giving Issei a gentle smile.
"Come on don't give me that look Kiba," Issei said while drooping his shoulders.
"Ugh, again this," the blond lolita said with a sigh and her hand gently laid on her forehead.
"Don't worry lady Ravel, i'll be backing her up," a black haired woman said as she brandished her great sword.
"Not you to Siris," she said as she crossed her arms, "Just I find a cute looking boy you two sword freak starts a fight," she said as she shook her head in disappointment.
"Sooooooo, are you my opponent?" Issei questioned seeing that the blond one in front of him showed no sign of preparing for combat.
"Ugh, are you kidding me? I would never get my hands dirtied fighting the likes of you," she said in disgust.
"Hmmm, I guess i'm moving forward then," Issei said as he began to walk, but before he could move more than 5 steps two cat girls wearing small high school uniforms stopped him by moving in front of him.
"Such disrespect, though I may not be fighting you, know its rude to just walk way from me," she said in a haughty manner.
"Then what should I do?" Issei asked not sure about the situation he is in as in the background Kiba began to show the difference between them, creating swords to block and deflect while tripping and making sure they are at the edge when fighting him.
"You should grovel before me and accept your defeat," she said as she pointed at her high heels.
"Sorry, but I'll have to decline, since you know, we have plans," Issei then began to look around him seeing that the two cat girls got into position along with a girl with orange hare and red streaks going down from her scalp, all three off them boxed him in, or should he say triangled him in, "So I guess my opinion doesn't matter by the looks of it," Issei asked as the two in the slutty maid and the one wearing the baggy kimono began to position themselves far from the three but close enough while extending there hands out.
"Silence worm, for ignoring the wishes of lady Ravel phenex we will punish you," the one with the half mask said while the cat girls just mewed and charged at Issei.
Issei dodged the red cat's tackle, as she was above Issei he tried to strike her side but stopped as the blue cat girl tried to jump at his ankle, forcing him to jump stopping his mid air kick, as he was in the middle of the air the masked girl threw a strong right punch at Issei he couldn't dodge since he was mid air, but he blocked it by catching her hand, now having a foot hold via her arm Issei began to twist her arm forcing her to jump to prevent him dislocating her arm, which Issei took advantage of by dropping his foot on her shoulder.
Issei after kicking her face into the ground landed and instantly crouched as a fire ball came flying at him, he soon caught a leg aiming for his face, but before he could take advantage of it she detached her ankle guard opening Issei for a drop kick from the blue one since the sudden shift in weight caught him off guard.
"Ugh, fuck, that hurt," Issei said as he jumped back rubbing his head trying to relieve the pain, while simultaneously getting out of there encirclement.
"Well it looks like Rias didn't pick a useless human after all," Ravel said after seeing Issei's skills in combat.
"Are you alright Isabela," the blue haired woman asked the orange haired woman.
"I'm alright Ni," she said as she got up.
"Here you go Li," the dark red haired maid said to the red haired cat.
"Nya, thank nyu vert mowch Bulent," she said while she put on her shin guard.
"Well," Issei silently sounded out as he looked at everyone, the three in front, the three on the back and the one in the very back, but he only needed to worry about the one's in the front, but before he could lunge forward a specifically louder explosion happened.
[the Rook of Rias Gremory, Koneko has been retired] and those words echoed in both Kiba and Issei's mind.
"Oh my, i'm rather surprised that she had lasted longer than expected fighting against Yubelluna," Ravel said.
Hearing those words made it clear that they cannot play any longer, "Kiba!!!! Now!!!," Issei signaled at Kiba which he instantly knew what to do seeing as they had done this before, Issei then got assaulted by the girls knowing something is up, the two maids enhanced the three while the princess began to heal then making sure they can continue the fight, Issei however didn't panic as he parried and struck back keeping the tight position they had going on, in the middle of Issei being assaulted Kiba was on the defensive.
"Whats wrong not so tough now aren't you," the blond one said mockingly.
"Its only natural, seeing as a worm from the Gremory is currently fighting two esteemed knight of lord Riser," the black haired one said as they repeatedly clashed blades with Kiba.
"I wouldn't say that for long ladies," Kiba said as they both went for a downward slash, which Kiba took advantage of by blocking it with a katana that had thrusters behind it, before they could question the sword the thrusters suddenly came to life and pushed they away, as they were getting knocked back the managed to bump into something.
As they bumped into the supporting group Issei was fighting Issei grind as Kiba then slammed his blade into the ground head first throwing a wave of energy bursting through the ground towards Issei, Issei then lifted his leg as high as he could while equipping his sacred gear shocking everyone close as they didn't know about Issei's sacred gear, and before they could react.
[BOOST!!!! TRANSFER!!!!] it sounded out as when Issei stomped the ground which the wave of energy which was then absorbed by the jewel in the knee, and then was instantly blasted down making spikes burst through the ground, and since the supporting group got knocked closer towards the fighting group they all got skewered by the rising spikes.
[Riser phenex's two knights, one rook, one biship, and 4 pawns have been eliminated]
…
"Tch, looks like they still need some lessons," Riser said as he looked at the battle field below but before he could look forward again he got blasted by the power of destruction directly on the face, "oh my dear Rias, don't you know that you can never defeat Riser in such a manner," Riser said as he regenerated his face.
[Rias Gremory's queen has been retired]
"You see that my love, your closes and might I say strongest piece has fallen to my own, the great Riser would rather stop here seeing as you are all but defeated," he said gloating about his victory.
"Shut up!!!," Rias yelled at Riser as she threw another blast of destruction at his face.
"Oh why must you be such a tease," Riser said through the smoke as he blocked her attack with a barrier.
…
"Kiba lets go!" Issei said as he rushed towards the old school building.
"Its best if you went Issei," Kiba said as he faces Issei with his back.
"Wha-" Issei was about to ask but knew the moment he saw a heavily injured Yubelluna flying towards Kiba, "make sure you win alright," Issei said as he left Kiba to buy him some time.
"Hmm, no promises friend," Kiba said as he rushed at Yubelluna.
…
"Its best to surrender to Riser my dear, for yo-," before he could finish his sentence.
"DYNAMIC ENTRY," Issei yelled out as his boosted foot landed square on Riser's face.
"Hyoudou Issei reporting for ass kicking duty!!!," Issei yelled out as Riser landed creating smoke, Issei then landed while punching his palm and red lighting sparked out similar to the small sparks that flew off as the last sparks Akeno's attacks.
"YOU INSOLENT BAFONE, HOW DARE YOU RUIN THE FACE OF RISER," he said as within the smoke an explosion of a raging fire.
As Riser rushed at Issei, "PROMOTION QUEEN," Issei said as he then got a burst of posing position m allowing him to dodge by leaning backwards leaving his bare chest open for a kick that launched him upwards, which Issei didn't let to waist as he grabbed the shattered earth from Riser's rush and tossed it at him making sure to hit at vital areas, aiming for his nose, throat, ribs, solar plexus, groin, just a few inches below the knee, his shin and elbows.
Riser however didn't let such an attack land as a torrent of fire disperse the rocks, but as the fire disappeared iron arrows suddenly came at him from the side stabbing him in the throat, and looking at where the attack was launched, there he saw Issei prepared to throw more spikes that he ripped off from the tips of the roof.
Before Issei could throw more attacks a giant fire ball was launched at them, Issei then prioritized the safety of Rias and Asia, he jumped forward tackling then off the roof, escaping the fire didn't mean they were out if the battle, so before Riser could get visual on them Issei threw them on the second floor window.
Issei seeing the light coming off of Riser's wings he kicked one as fast as he could before rushing towards the left barely escaping all thanks to the increases speed given to him by the mutation of his gear.
"GET BACK HERE YOU LOWLY MONGREL!!!" Riser yelled out as he flew towards the corner he disappeared from, but as he reached the edge he was suddenly greeted by a long plant bed that was tossed at him, which distracted him enough to not notice Issei sliding below him positioning himself behind him, to which he took advantage of by grabbing his leg as he was about to continue further, but Issei stopped him then pulled him close enough to drop his fist square in his face strong enough to break the floor followed by a crack of spiderwebs, after that he got increasingly angry shown by an explosion of fire, which Issei couldn't fully dodge seen through his burnt right arm.
"You will surely die," Riser said in silent anger.
"Hmm, the great Issei would like to differ," Issei said mockingly.
As he said that Riser instantly disappeared and landed a punch at Issei showing off his full speed, before he could attack with fire Issei elbowed the back of his neck stunning him for a second enough for Issei to get his footing and knee his chin and while Riser was sent floating with his knee Issei extended his feet hitting Riser back to the ground, "Whats wrong? Cant stand up to the great Issei?" Issei said making sure to taunt him as he needed Riser to be blinded for his plan to work, since he is sure that his hits damage him but seeing that he hasn't received a scratch from there little fight, Issei had already punched him towards the ground twice, shattered his ribs once, and pierced his throat, and he still doesn't have a scratch, compared to Issei who's right arm is burn and his stomach bruised, but his worries didn't stop there.
[Rias Gremory's knight has been retired]
After that his worries began to pile as he has little time and knowledge about Yubelluna's condition and health, before he could panic and start to exhaust himself and take risks, "Don't worry Issei! We will take care of her," Rias said from the roof calming down Issei.
Riser how ever noticed where Rias was, but before he could head toward Rias Issei stopped him by grabbing his leg, however Riser doesn't fall for the same trick twice as he cut of his own leg and proceeded to ignore Rias as he used his momentum to land a punch at Issei's face, bot only that but he continued to abuse his flight superiority because when Issei grabbed his leg he managed to pull Issei 10 feet off the ground robbing him of his noticeable martial arts skills.
As Issei was being assaulted mid air it suddenly stopped, looking up he saw a miniature sun above risers who has raised his hands, "Its time to die you filthy animal!!!" He said as he tossed it towards Issei.
As the miniature sun came towards Issei he didn't panic and stayed calm, and in mid air tensed his leg while pointing his toe downward and tensed his muscled to the max to simulate a strong footing.
[Northern ITF Taekwondo: Cutting the front] and then he suddenly released his tensed muscle launching his foot upwards with such immense pressure followed with a boost created a shock wave strong enough to cut through the fire ball and smashed into Riser, as the air pressure strikes Issei made sure that it was far away from the school into the forest to distance himself from Rias, which was timed perfectly as an explosion occurred concluding there battle has started.
"You got this Rias," Issei said as he looked at Rias protecting Asia, he then left to continue his battle with Riser, as he rushed towards Riser his leg began to twitch.
…
…
…
"Ughhh," Gin woke up being blinded by the light, "ughh… where am i?" I asked out loud.
"Your at your new bace at the third floor second room, which I assumed was your infirmary room," a voice sounded out.
"Bruh," I said in a dead tone since this particular room was made for experimenting and the infirmary was supposed to be on the second floor second room part 2.
"By the way whats this?" Uryu asked as he knocked on a door opening a secret room.
"Secret room duh," I said seeing he found the part 2 of this room which was filled with corpses being hanged, some were ripped in two shoeing there organs, some had there skins ripped, violently ripped off limbs, monsters inside test tubes only alive due various tubes plunged into there bodies and a mask that lets them breath.
"That's messed up," he said as the room closed.
"You know whats more messed up? Putting me on my experimenting table," I said as I got out of the table.
"Well all the blood and gunk all over the sheets," he said.
"How the fuck am I supposed to work," Gin said.
"I would assume as usual," Uryu said as he got up.
"Well we got a problem," Gin said as he turned around, "How the fuck can I do that with these," as Gin showed his bandaged up arms.
"Well its either that or you don't get your arms back properly," Uryu said as he pulled out a glass ball with green fluid inside.
"Aren't those experimental?" I asked.
"Well better now than never right?" He asked which I shrugged and presented my arms that are in a cast at him, to which he punctured the glass with his middle finger while not shattering the glass and poured it on his arms, "fell it?" Be asked.
"Hmm, we need to purify the positive energy more or naturally give it a purpose, we really needed that book about nature energy," I said as I felt my arms slightly heal faster.
"I'm guessing that was why you were on that mission," Uryu said.
"Obviously," Gin said as he began to walk outside, "plus it would have improved everything with what the fuck were doing," Gin then walked down the forth floor and entered the first room, "additional to that we would get access to in depth information on what life energy is, which would improve this," Gin then stomped on a specific spot which opened a secret entrance going down into a dark basement, there multiple mini test tubes with small bugs in a variety of colors, but with in the army of small tubes there was one big test tube that held a human with orange hair, "btw did you monitor him?"
"I did, his vitals are good, and he seems to be ready," Uryu said while looking at the test tube.
"How long was I knocked out," Gin asked.
"Approximately around 5 hours," Uryu answered.
"Well then I think he's ready," I said as I used my toes to type on the touch screen keys.
After that the water began to drain slowly, and as the body descended slowly he stopped himself by catching himself on his arms and knees.
"Welcome to the world white," I said as when he opened his eyes the first thing he saw was me setting on a spiny chair looking down on him.
"Y-h-o k-n- *cough cough," he tried to speak but couldn't since he couldn't since he never used his voice before.
"Uryu water please" I said as Uryu brought water towards him to drink.
White grabbed the 1 liter of water and chugged it like sand to water, "now mind telling me what you wanted to say?" I asked.
"Ugh," he gulped in some air, "you know dam well what you named me," he said in a raspy and nearly un hearable voice.
"True, but since your new I will be calling you white before you imprint one of our personalities, now before we start can you walk," I looked down seeing him stand and walk around, "I will put that as a check, now what are you proficient in?"
"I would assume it to be a sword?" He said not sure about the answer.
"Well that sounds good enough," I then checked on something on my clip board, now before I send you to someone I will be equipping you with proper items," I said as I pulled out a scalpel, a black glossy thread, and a black and red scroll, "Now before we start," I grabbed one of the small test tubes specifically a white thorny insect with red marks, and as soon as I opened the lid it suddenly opened its eyes and began squirming around, and before it could escape i placed the opening on his skin making it burrow into his skin.
"Ahhh!!! What the fuck was that," he said as he backed away clutching his forearm and where it entered it began to turn white and red streaks began to extend from that spot, and before it could spread more I slapped his hand off and used the needle and thread to sow around his the marks catching the little bug at the middle of his chest it tried to squirm out but finding no exit it accepted its face and began to integrate in his body.
"W-what was that?" He panicked as he sporadically tapped and touched his chest and arm making sure nothing is out of the normal.
"Nothing much just your standard implant to standardize you," I said as attached the end of the thread on a notch that was on the black scroll, channeling some power into the scroll it began to glow which flowed through the thread and on the tip of the needle, I then dipped it in oil an proceeded to tap a tattoo on his back.
"Hey, w-what are you doing," he began to panic and move around trying to see what I was doing.
"Hold him down please Uryu," which he did.
"Seriously, what the fuck are you doing," he began to complain.
"And done," I said as on his back was a tattoo of a pentagon shaped skull with a cross on the back ground with the skull being a simplified upside down pentagon shape.
"Alright, toy might not know this but seeing as you just got out of the tube you are super impressionable, so he made a deal with a friend that he will be showing you the ropes, got that," Uryu said as Gin was sitting something up.
"Alright squirt, see you in a month or something," I said as a bright flash of light appeared and the next second he was gone.
"You think that was a good idea,"
"Don't know Uryu, we will see in a month," I said.
While on the other side white was dizzy and confused while sitting on his ass in a cold space wearing nothing but a Shihakusho, something one can only explain as it looked like a miko outfit, difference is its all black but it has another layer inside for the yukata which is colored white and on the waist is tied together with a white cloth piece, and as white sat there a silver haired man stood before him.
