Calm before the Storm
As Cassie blocked Kiba's attack Xenovia unwrapped her blade, but as she was about to attack and strike Kiba who was still locking blades with Cassie, Chelsea appeared behind Kiba and with a quick chop to the neck knocked him out cold which prevented even more disaster that would surely happen if Kiba went on a rampage.
Sighing in relief, Issei thanked her for her work, making the girl blush at his word before he turned towards Rias with a cold glare that made her shiver.
"You were saying something Rias? Looks like nobody in this peerage of yours needs permission, as your own Knight attacked an unarmed opponent who comes in peace. Some King you are." His cold words were something that even Sona couldn't expect as she saw his two battles with Riser and she thought that he was devoted to her. Looks like she was very much wrong in her opinion about him.
"And you know that you could get punished for your words, correct?" Sona said completely ignoring the exorcists that were in the clubroom.
"And who is going to punish me, hmm?" Issei answered as his eyes turned a little bit green as his anger rose. Though just as he said that he saw her whole peerage stand in front of her ready to fight.
"Watch what you say Hyoudou, you don't want us as your enemy's." A girl with long black hair stated. Her hair was long enough that it went to her knees said as she pushed her glasses up a little with a weapon that appeared in her hand.
"Ufufufuf, now those are some big words coming from worms, don't you think sister of Leviathan?" Lucy asked as she stood in front of Issei with a dark smirk as her fingers started to electrify with high voltage.
"This isn't about you heir of Lucifuge, Issei Hyoudou, the Pawn of a High-Class Devil is overstepping his boundaries. Don't you think that also, you are a High-Class devil after all." Sona said as she again pushed her glasses up her nose.
"Hmm... Yes you are right, I am indeed a High-Class." Lucy said in a calm voice, but before Sona could say anything Lucy beat her to it. "But that also doesn't include me not defending my love as he is right to say what he wants. He is right about her, not having any authority or power for her peerage to follow her aid by example or by will. So you can understand why I'm on his side, as he has both power and will, also he doesn't force people to follow him, they follow him because he sets himself as an example and has the courage to do impossible."
Hearing those words Issei blushed hard as he could clearly see with what passion Lucy said about him. Though while everyone else also heard her words, some were fuming while others in awe at what the silver hair beauty said. She made it clear that she would stick with him until the very end.
"That may be true what you say, though that still doesn't excuse him from what he said and in what tone." Sona still pressed.
"Sona, are you familiar with how Issei Hyoudou become Rias Gremory's Pawn?" Murayama asked her voice filled with hate as she was pissed at how the Devils operate, though Lucy was one of the devils that Murayama was okay being friends with, as Lucy treated her as her own sister.
"Unfortunately yes, he was murdered by the Yuma Amano or should I say Raynare in cold blood while Rias knew about it and pick up the scrap." Sona answered making her own peerage shocked at that, clearly no one was expecting that.
With a nod from Murayama, Katase was the next to say her piece. "So you can see why he is like this, and like Lucy said, I will gladly follow Ise before I follow Rias. As he never asked or did something so damaging to us. True we were pissed off at him peeping but compared to being killed only to be revived and used as a tool is something I will not wish for, not even on my worst enemy." She exclaimed, also in a cold voice getting a nod from Murayama and Chelsea.
Seeing that he had this much impact on the girls, Issei just smiled softly at them before he snapped back in reality as he remembered that there were three other people in the room.
"We can talk later about this. Why don't we return to the subject at hand? You girls were saying?" Issei spoke as he turned to the three other girls in the room who had shock expressions on their faces.
Xenovia was first to break the silence as she was not too much surprised at what she heard since she was thought that all Devils and Fallen were evil. This only solidifies her resolve.
"Yes as we were saying. We want you Devils not to interfere and do not align with those that stole our swords." Xenovia repeated as she wanted to make it go to their heads.
"Though we know who stole the swords and as a friendly gesture we will tell you." Cassie said softly as she was looking Issei dead in the eyes with a sad smile on her face.
"Please do and like Issei Hyoudou said we will not side with any party." Sona said seeing that Rias was out of commission with a dead look on her face as she was again reminded why he was not listening to her.
"Good, the one that stole our weapons is a Cadre-Class Fallen Angel known as Kokabiel, and we think he is working with some excommunicated members of the church." Irina told as her happy face turned into a pout.
"D-Did you say Kokabiel?" Rias finally said as she recovered after what Issei and girl told.
"Yes, that Kokabiel. He stole three holy swords and is most likely here wanting to begin the 2nd Great War." Irina said as she shook her head.
"T-that's sound really bad." Katase said seeing the solemn mood in the room.
It was Lucy who told what it was in the Civil War as it was the closest to Great War. Though that it was considered big it was still like a skirmish in comparison to the real thing. "Well I fought in Civil War and our biggest battle cost over 15 million lives and the smallest battle in Great War was 10 times bigger than that."
That statement sent chills down everyone's spine as they heard the death toll of even the smallest battle, and the biggest one was when the two Dragon Emperors were sealed.
"We definitely won't want that. Hell, I will help you any way I can just to increase the chances of the true peace." Issei quickly said still shivering from what his lover said.
"If my love says he would help then you have also mine in that. I would rather not go through another war if possible." Lucy also told as she was 100% against another one. As she still needed recovery from last one.
Seeing that they have help from the devils Cassie and Irina smiled through those smiles vanish when Xenovia refused help.
"I would rather be dead then ask or receive help from devils." Xenovia sternly spoke as she started to go out only to be stopped by a blade near her neck.
"Uh damn it that hurt, though no matter, what do you say about a duel exorcist. Those damned swords you and that Irina girl have are making my blood boil." Kiba said in venom that surprised everyone as they never thought that they would hear or see the prince of Kuoh say does words in that tone.
Turning to face him Xenovia just raised an eyebrow. "And you are?"
"I'm your superior." Kiba answered with a dark chuckled.

As the three exorcists stood with their weapons at the ready and in their combat uniforms which were more like a latex bodysuit, they were faced by Kiba and surprisingly Murayama and Katase as they wanted to see how good they can fight against a real opponent. The duo got to use real swords that were provided by Kiba, from his gear.
"Are you all ready?" Chelsea said as she took a role of a referee.
With the nods from all six of them, she shouted for them to begin as Kiba charged Xenovia, while Irina and Cassie did the same as Murayama and Katase stood their ground with swords at the ready.
As soon as Kiba swung his sword down at Xenovia, she simply dodged as she finds it insulting to use the power of one of the strongest swords in the world against those weak ones. But she was soon forced as Kiba sent another slash at her middle making her parry it with her blade making Kiba' rage explode even more.
"So it's true. I knew I sensed does swords but now I have even more reason to destroy that damn Excalibur." Kiba shouted as he swings again hard with the second blade that he formed in his other hand making Xenovia back away.
"So why do you have so much rage at this sword?" Xenovia ask as she wanted to know since it was no secret that Excalibur was now in seven pieces.
"That doesn't matter to you." He hissed as he started attacking her again.

At the other end of the field, both Cassie and Irina found that the two Kendo captains were good opponents even though that both of them were holding back as not to kill or injure them badly.
"Not bad you two, looks like you know what you are doing." Irina praised as she attacked Katase again only to be parried by Murayama.
"Well, we aren't Kendo captains for nothing and we are even training in tag team battles." Katase said with a smirk as she slashed at Irina only to be parry by Cassie who was also impressed.
"And as you can tell we are also knowledgeable in tag battles as the three of us are together for 4 years now and as you can tell we know each other weakness and protect them." Cassie said in a soft voice as all of them separated from each other.
Though before the second round can begin they heard Issei yelling at them.
"Murayama, Katase I think that's enough. You did great, but we aren't here for a real fight." Issei yelled to them as both girls nodded and lowered their swords before bowing and returning to Issei's side shocking the others.
"Yeah, I didn't really want to fight anyway. So let's watch Xenovia finish this before we head back." Cassie said as Irina nodded with a smile before she pouts at seeing that Cassie was giving a scanning look at Issei before getting a small trail of pink on her cheeks.
Though that disappeared as they heard an explosion coming from where Xenovia and Kiba where fighting. Everyone turned to where the other battle was happening and they saw the whole area destroyed and having craters everywhere as it looked like Xenovia started using her sword's ability which was Destruction.
"Damn it." Kiba growled as he stood up weakly with a few cuts and bruises before making a huge broad sword and charged at Xenovia who just stood in place with a bored look.
"You never learn." Xenovia said as she ducked under his swing and lodged the hilt to his guts putting the end of the battle with Kiba on the ground.
"That's enough… you made your point, we will not disturb your mission." Rias said as she motioned to Raynare to go and heal Kiba who was out cold.
"Good, and Sekiryuutei, there is another information that is most critical to you." Cassie said as she was the most composed of the three.
"Hmm... what information?" Issei asked in confusion, having a bad feeling about it.
"The White one has appeared." Xenovia said in serious tone making Issei go wide eyes.
'So White Emperor decide to show up huh?' He questioned in his head.
"Thank you for that piece of info, you are right that it is crucial to me." Issei politely told them getting a nod from the three as they started walking back their base.
"Bye guys, see you later!" Irina shouted as she turned around and waved her hand at them with Cassie also turning around and giving them a nod
"Well, that was eventful." Lucy spoke before she turned around to face Sona and her peerage who were on near Rias on her left.
"Now back to the discussion." She said in the dark tone as she started slowly walking towards the two peerages that were grouped together.
Turning to face her, Sona and her peerage formed a defensive line in front of her.
"Yes, back to the topic." Sona replied in a neutral tone as her eyes showed no emotion but in her heart, she was afraid a little as she heard stories about Lucy and her destructive nature.
"You worms step aside, I don't want to kill you." Lucy said in a very dark tone as her eyes started glowing in a dark blue as her power start rising.
Though before destruction can ensure, Murayama and Katase stood in front of Lucy with their backs to the peerages as if they were defending them.
"You two step aside, even if I treat you like my sisters that doesn't mean that I will not hurt you to finish what I started with that bitch and her peerage." Lucy said in a low and cold tone that sent shivers down everyone's spine.
(Lucy, remember what we talked about. Control yourself or you are going to go back to your dark side again.) Elsha's powerful voice was heard as Issei's gear appeared shocking everyone even Issei at this development.
"E-Elsha how did you do that?" Issei confusingly asked only to hear her giggle.
(Oh dear me, Issei my dear I can do it since you got stronger, also remember all of that training that I put you through in your mind?) Elsha asked in mischief tone making everyone confused.
"Yes, but what does that has to do with anything?" He questioned only to hear dual laughing coming from his gear.
(Ddraig would you tell them? Or should I?) Elsha asked the mighty dragon who grunted in acknowledgment.
[I would gladly, I can't wait to see their faces though.] Ddraig said his mighty voice turned into a roar of laughter as Issei's gear started glowing brightly red, making everyone shield their eyes from its glow.
As the glow started losing his intensity everyone unshielded their eyes only to be shocked to the very core of what stood near Issei.
Right beside Issei Hyoudou stood none other than Elsha in all her glory. Though she was a little bit transparent, she was still clearly seen by Devils and Humans alike as she was standing (floating) near him. She was wearing a blood red long dress that showed her beautiful curves and her body, with her golden blond hair going all the way down to her middle back as her eyes were closed and she had a soft smile on her face.
Though no one knew who the girl was. It was Issei who first said the words that shocked Lucy, Murayama, Katase and Chelsea and to some extent even Sona as she heard stories about her.
"E-E-Elsha!" Issei yelled as he took a few steps back in complete shock making him fall on his ass.
"WHAT!" The four girls yelled as they never saw her but they did talk to her.
"Ufufuf looks like I made quite the appearance. Hmm... thank you Ddraig for helping me with this." Elsha said in a sweet voice that was still powerful.
[You are more than welcome Elsha, though it looks like an explanation is needed.] Ddraig stated getting nods from everyone.
"Ddraig what the fuck? How is Elsha here?" Issei shouted in disbelief at what he witnessed.
[I will explain Partner, you see when you were training in summoning your gear and going inside of it in your mind. Elsha constantly sent pulses of magical energy with a little bit of my aid to help you enter it as it is a daunting task. Though before you say anything, keep in mind that even when we did that it wasn't enough for you to feel it or for your reserves to go up. Think of it as establishing a bridge between us three.] Ddriag said as he was trying hard not to go back to roaring in laughing as he saw Issei' and others face at his information.
"That's right dear. It was my selfish wish to return to at least a spirit form and Ddraig gave me his support. Though I can only maintain this form for an hour or two before returning to the gear. For now, I can go out every 2-3 days." Elsha said as she faced Issei before turning to Lucy who was looking at her with a shock expression.
"So it's true, the past host can return to land of the living." Lucy said composing herself before moving towards Elsha with her doing the same.
"I did tell you that it's possible and now you know, though I wanted to wait a bit before doing this, but you forced my hand." Elsha said in a regal voice as she stopped the only meter away from Lucy.
"Yes you did, though without a body you can do so much, but knowing my love… he would find a way to make you real Elsha." Lucy said in a soft voice as she looked at one of the most powerful users of the gear.
"True and when he chooses it, we are going on a date. Hope you don't mind it?" Elsha said in a wink making Lucy laugh as she was enjoying this conversation. The girls in front of her looked similar to her. Powerful, honest and mischief.
"Sure, I don't mind. I told the other three the same." Lucy answered with a wink shocking the others.
"W-wait you know each other?" Issei asked as he looked between two beauties.
"Yes Love, we had a chance to talk when you were sleeping and I must say I like your look Elsha… you really look like a princess." Lucy answered him before commenting Elsha.
"Ufufuf why thank you, though it looks like me appearing did the trick, you are now calmer." Elsha softly spoke as she saw the fury that was in Lucy's eyes have disappeared.
"That may be true, but I won't forget it." Lucy said before turning to face Sona and her peerage. "Count yourselves lucky, but if we ever meet in Rating game. I will destroy you like I did to those foolish enough to face my wrath."
As Sona was about to answer to that threat, Kiba who was on the ground, stood up on his shaky legs and started walking away to the shock of Rias and her team.
"Yuuto, where do you think you are going?" Rias demanded as Kiba stopped in his tracks and answered her not turning to face her.
"I'm going to take a walk. Don't follow me or try to return me back. I will have my vengeance." Kiba said loudly enough for everyone to hear as he started walking again ignoring Rias demands for him to return and stop this.
"Looks like what my Love said it's true. You are horrible King." Lucy said as she started walking away with Murayama, Katase and Chelsea following her while Issei and Elsha stood in place looking at Kiba's form that was slowly walking away, though they were shocked when they heard him mumble which Issei picked up easily since he was part dragon/devil making him have enhanced hearing.
"I'll take my vengeance on those horror blades that killed me and my comrades. Even if I die in the process." Mumbled in fury as he kept walking away from Rias and the group.
"Ise, darling let's get home. Lucy and the girls will be waiting for you. I will return to the gear for now." Elsha said as she started to disappear back into the gear, though before completely fading, she grabbed Issei's head and kissed him on the cheek making him go dark red from the kiss.
"Y-yeah." Issei mumbled as he robotically started moving towards his house. Leaving disorganized and shocked peerages behind him.

As Issei entered his house, he wasn't that surprised to see all the girls in a living room chatting with his parents and having a few laughs. Though when they heard the door opening and Issei entering the mood changed from joyful to serious as they excused themselves and stood up and went to Issei's and Lucy's room.
Seeing this Issei just sigh before following them to upstairs and into his room leaving his parents to go about their day as usual.
As everyone took their spots in his room that was rid free of all porn he had, Issei just closed the door and lean on the wall looking at everyone present.
"So what's with the overly serious mood?" Issei asked as he sighs as no one said anything.
"Okay, you are really going on my nerves. Spill it out NOW!" Issei said as even after a few minutes no one spoke. Though his higher voice broke them as they all flinched a little and composed themselves before looking at him.
"Love, do you know who Kokabiel is?" Lucy asked him, as she stood from her spot on the bed and walk towards him.
"Nope, I can only think that he is Cadre-Class, correct?" Issei answered honestly getting a solemn nod from his lover.
"That's right, though there also lies one of the few problems." Lucy answered getting him to tilt his head to the side a little making her giggle a little.
"What kind of problems?" He questioned as Lucy shook her head a little.
"The problem of how to stop him. Even in your Balance-Breaker and my power we still need more to stop him. Murayama and Katase may start to learning from me magic and Chelsea is good in stealth and can possibly get a hit or two on him but, I highly doubt our chances here. And that is with the Red haired bitch and Sona's peerages helping. We are simply out powered and of course, he is going to bring a few exorcists and maybe fallen to assist him." Lucy said making his eyes wide at her words seeing her point.
"What? Mura and Kat started to learn magic?" Issei asked in shock getting a nod from Kendo duo as both girls put their right hand up and a small ball of flame and ice formed in their hand respectably.
"Yes they did, they asked if they can do magic and I showed them and started training them in it. Murayama is good with fire, while Katase is good with Ice, so they can at least defend themselves a little bit. But that isn't the point now Love." Lucy answered him making him blink before he nodded.
"Right, though did you inform Grayfia about Kokabiel and all that stuff?" Issei asked again getting a nod from the heiress.
"Yes, sister told me that when he shows up to inform her and to delay him as much as possible before she or Sirzechs can muster enough forces to come and stop him." Lucy answered though there was something that didn't go well with Issei. Something told him that there was more to it than that, but he kept it in as not to make Lucy doubt her sister.
"Alright, though that leaves us with a few options then." Issei said with a smile making everyone blink at him.
"And those are Issei?" Katase asked as she didn't see much options.
"Yea, do tell darling I love to hear your plan." Chelsea said as she was also in the same pot with Katase.
"It's simple. Though also very dangerous and before you shout and or hit me listen carefully, alright?" Issei asked softly looking at the girls who looked at each other before nodding.
"Firstly, Chelsea what is your gear and how does it work? I need to know before I tell a plan." Issei asked.
"My gear is Gaea Foundation. It's a more like a camouflage gear that lets me be almost invisible and untraceable to those around me, though if someone is way stronger then me they can sense me. Though if I can increase my strength or focus really hard I can hide from them but it's very hard as I'm left a sitting duck with no power to do anything. Oh one last thing, I can change shape and have the abilities of that form. Though before you say about me copying your Balance-Breaker… I can't do it." Chelsea said as Issei just nodded at her words.
"That is deadly if used in a right moment and place. Now with that info, I have a good plan." Issei said as the girls just stare at him giving him the signal to continue.
"The plan is following. Chelsea, I want you to follow Kiba and see his movements and what he is up to and when you can inform me or Lucy." Issei said getting the nod from the English girl, before turning to the Kendo girls. "While Chelsea is busy with Kiba, I want you two to train as much as possible with Lucy in magic and if possible I will try to have Elsha help as well since from what I experienced, her magic is deadly. Not to mention that she uses a combination of Slavic and Norse." Issei explained as he got a nod from the mentioned girls. "As for me, I will go to see and talk to Irina, Xenovia, and Cassie to see if there is a possibility of working together since that would increase our chances of survival and give maybe enough firepower to stop that war-hungry idiot." Issei told them as Lucy just smiled at his plan. He really thought about it and it sounded like it had a really good chance of succeeding.
"Fine Love we will do as you told. Though if you get into trouble just increase your power and we will come to help, alright?" Lucy softly said as she lightly kissed him on the lips as a good luck charm.
"Thanks. Now Chelsea, go you have a lot to do. Lucy train them as best as you can, though try not to kill them please." Issei told them as they all stood up and leaving the house before separating as everyone went on their way. With Chelsea going to find Kiba, Issei for the church trio and Lucy calling her sister informing her about two guests that were coming and that she would need her help, which Grayfia agreed and sent her coordinates were she would go for training and where she would meet her.

As everyone was on their way. Chelsea was looking for the blond Knight of the group as it was clear to everyone that he was now a ticking time bomb waiting to explode and do something that could possibly start a war. As she was walking for a few hours trying to find him it started to get dark and to add more to her tiredness and frustration it started raining with thunder strikes roaring in the background and flashes.
"Great, it's raining now and it's going to ruin my hair. Oh, when I finish this I'm going to make darling know not to send me out when there is a thunderstorm." Chelsea mumbled as she was sure to make Issei pay for this. Though her anger died down when she saw Kiba locking blades with a man that was wearing a white robe and was emitting a lot of Holy energy.
Deciding to get a closer look, Chelsea cloaked herself and made her way closer to the battlefield. As she was getting closer she saw that there were a lot of dead people around them, making her gasp as she was praying that Kiba didn't do it. Though her pray was heard as she listens what the white haired boy said. While she was hiding in the nearby forest.
"Oh, oh, oh, what made you have so much anger blondie?" The white hair said making Kiba even angrier.
"Shut up Freed you are making me sick." Kiba answered as he used his sacred gear to try and pierce Freed like a kebab.
Though to his irritation Freed just swiped his sword from side to side destroying Kiba's attempt, making him laugh.
"That was nice, but I think it's time to end this. I loved fighting you stinky vermin." Freed said as he charged Kiba only to be blocked by two swords holding his in a deadlock.
"You, what are you doing here?" Kiba shouted at the green hair girl.
"I'm here to save you Knight, Freed has Excalibur Rapidly so you will have even harder time. And Issei sent us, so don't think anything. If it was our way you would be dead." Cassie said as she pushed Freed back a little giving her more space to maneuver and show of her speed that was way beyond even the speed that Knight Piece or Excalibur could muster.
"Us?" Kiba confusingly asked only to see three more people showing up from the woods.
"Yes Knight of Gremory, us. Since the Red Dragon Emperor offered his assistance we took it upon ourselves to try and find you so you don't go astray. Though now that I see who you are fighting I'm more inclined to help." Xenovia said as she drew her sword following her lead Irina also draw hers as both charged at Freed while Chelsea sneaked behind Kiba and with a quick chop to the neck knock him out not giving him time to escape or attack anyone.
"Finally got you, now I can go to darling and have him question you." Chelsea said to herself as she watched the exorcists fight the stray priest and Cassie giving him the most damage with her speed.
Though just when Cassie decided to end his pathetic life, someone new showed up stopping her in her track. As all of them shoot their heads up to see a short man with a mustache wearing a priest uniform.
"Freed you should retreat now. You can't beat them, especially Cassie Locketheart, her natural ability gives her more speed than Excalibur can. And you managed to get two more Excalibur users to fight you. Retreat now Freed. It's almost time for the war to start." The man said as Freed nodded.
"All right Father Valper. Bye bye girls, love to fight you but it's time for good stuff. Hahaha..." Freed said as he was about through the bomb but was stopped with a rope that glowed black with a little purple to it making everyone look from where it came from only to see Sona and Rias with her peerage and Issei appearing from the magic circle with a blond hair boy having the rope come out of his from what they could tell was a Dragon type sacred gear.
"Nice one Saji." The white haired girl said. Saji looked at her and saw she was in a Kuoh school uniform, However the compliment made the boy blush a little.
"Thank you Momo." He said with a soft smile making her blush though Issei stepped forward towards the girls and a knocked out Kiba with Freed trying and failing to cut the rope.
"Good job girls. You too Chelsea. Though did you really need to knock him out?" Issei said as Chelsea only whistled innocently while turning around.
"What did you do to Yuuto?" Rias demanded to know as she walked forward with Sona and their peerages following only to stop a few meters in front of Issei who was glaring at her.
"Rias, I'm already mad at you, don't make me put you in your place. Besides if it wasn't for Chelsea and the church trio Kiba might have been dead by now." Issei told her coldly as he turned around walking slowly forward towards the out cold Kiba and Chelsea who was looking at him with her head a little titled to the side as he gave her a piece of paper.
"Use it and go to my place with Kiba. I will be back shortly. Okay, darling?" Issei whispered into her ear, his hot breath making her shiver a little. Though she turned bright red as he kissed her cheek and just nodded to her to go.
"Fine darling, but we have a lot to discuss," Chelsea whispered back as she also kissed him on the cheek before stepping closer to Kiba and flaring her power making the paper glow.
"Nice seeing you all, though darling says I must go, so bye all of you, talk to you all later." Chelsea said as she with Kiba teleported away.
"ISSEI WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?" Rias yelled furiously as she just seen her piece getting kidnapped and the other not at all paying attention to her.
"Cassie, Xenovia, Irina, you all right girls?" Issei asked ignoring the even more fuming Rias.
"Yeah, though what you said was true, Freed has the stolen three blades." Cassie said as she walks towards him.
"Freed, use your holy power to cut yourself free now and let's get out of here, we cant win in this fight. Kokabiel is waiting for us." Valper yelled as Freed quickly did what was told and freed himself.
"Bye devils, we will meet again." Was all that Freed said before throwing his bomb that was a flash grenade make everyone blind for a few seconds till they could see again.
When their sight returned, they all saw that the two stray priests were gone. Sighing in relief Issei turned to the other Devils who were glaring at him.
"Yes?" Issei asked as he raised his eyebrow at seeing Koneko, Akeno, Raynare, and members of the Student Council step forward with their magic and weapons at the ready.
"You know that what you did can be labeled as a traitorous behavior and action." Sona said in a cold voice as she stepped just in front of her peerage with Rias doing the same.
"And why would that be the case. Hmm...?" Issei asked as he about to flare his power to call for Lucy and Grayfia.
"Negotiation with the enemy. Is it enough or you want more?" Sona answered as her peerage started to power up.
"Also disobeying direct orders from your Master and threatening her." Rias said as she along with her group also powered up.
Seeing that the fight may be near, Issei turned to exorcists.
"You girls go to my place I will be back shortly. There is plenty of food and you can wash up. Feel at home. Irina you up for showing them the way?" Issei told them getting a nod from the trio.
"Sure Ise, thought are you sure you want to stay here alone?" Irina asked as she more than willing to fight alongside him.
"It will be alright Irina, he is way stronger than the Red haired." Cassie said as the other two nodded and left. Leaving Issei to smile a little before turning around and becoming serious.
"Surrender now Issei Hyoudou or we will be forced to restrain you." Sona said, though Issei just laughs as he flared his power.
"Nah I think someone is more than happy to talk to you now even more." He said with a chuckle as two magic circles appeared and from them, four girls appeared striking fear into the group as two silver haired girls walk forward while a brown and pink stayed in their place.
"Oh Love, I must say you just gave me a good show. I was getting a little bit bored in the underworld from training without you being there to watch or help in it." Lucy said as she hugged Issei who smiled at her.
"Now what happened for to have to flare out your power?" Grayfia asked as Issei just shrugged and pointed at the powered up two High-Class Devils and their peerages.
"That, and I think they need to know that even if they are the sibling of a Maou that doesn't excuse them." Issei said as Lucy let go of him.
"I'm taking Leviathan's sister, you can have fun with Rias my Love." Lucy said as her eyes started to glow.
"Works for me. Grayfia please don't intervene." Issei said as Grayfia just nodded and backed off to the Kendo girls who were looking at the duo about to fight. While Sona and Rias looked in shock that Grayfia is doing what Issei said.
"What? You are obeying what he is saying Grayfia? When brother here of this he is..." Rias started to rant but was stooped when Issei got fed up and yelled something that made all of them shiver in fear.
"Balance-Breaker! Welsh Dragon Scale Mail." Issei yelled.
[Welsh Dragon Balance-Breaker!] Ddraig roared.
As those words were said Issei's Booster Gear appeared and started to glow in the red light before the light engulf him blinding all of them for a moment. Though when they could see they saw him standing with his Balance-Breaker armor on him.
"Now shall we dance?" Issei asked as Lucy just giggled.
"I never thought you would asked hun." She answered as they both charged at the group surprising them.
"Koneko block him. Raynare, Akeno to the air and bombard him. He can't keep up long with fighting all of us in that armor." Rias ordered as then nodded and went to work.
"Saji, Ruruko, Tomoe, Yuri Intercept her. The Pawn can promote. Momo, Reya start bombarding, Tsubuki stays with me." Sona ordered as both Pawn's promoted to Queen and went on head first toward Lucy who grinned.
'Oh, this is going to be fun.' Lucy thought with a sadistic grin, as she started to make many magic circulars around herself still going full speed at them.
As the front line force was in striking range of Lucy, she suddenly jumped into the sky before unleashing a humongous storm of a magic blast at the attacking force, making them start to evade. Though that also gave the opportunity for Sona's Bishops to attack as they also unleashed their attacks though they were blocked by a large red energy blast that intercepted them. Turning around they saw Issei holding Koneko in the headlock while creating a large barrier in front of him stopping Raynare's and Akeno's attacks.
"Thanks for the save Hun." Lucy said with a wink as she turned towards the Bishops who were charging another attack.
"You are more than welcome dear, though time to turn up the heat." Issei said as he boosted again increasing his power even more.
[BOOST, BOOST, BOOST, BOOST]
Letting go of Koneko, Issei sent her flying with a powerful hit to the chest while he started to dodge Akeno's and Raynare's attacks with ease.
"Is this the best you can all do?" He taunted as he was getting bored of this. Hell Elsha and Ddraig even on a minimum of their power were making him work hard. This, on the other hand, was like a walk in the park.
"Why you weakling! "Raynare yelled as she formed a light spear and charge towards Issei.
Though just as she was about to pierce him, he disappeared and appeared near Akeno surprising both girls with it.
"Now for you, my Queen." Issei said in cold voice as he sent a kick that she barely dodged.
"Ufufufu you are fiercer than usual. This is turning me on, Issei." Akeno said as she licked her lips with electricity cracking from her hand as she sent bolts of lightning at him.
Though the bolts hit Lucy's own bolts who appeared in front of Issei defending him with her own electricity. Though what caught everyone's eyes was Lucy laughing in delight.
"Oh, what do we have here? I missed it last time I kick your asses. Though I noticed it this time, you are a Half Fallen. Now I know why you are this seductive and how your lightning is this powerful." Lucy said as she whispered something to Issei making him nod as Ddraig's voice was heard roaring Boost.
"I'm nothing like those creatures." Akeno shouted in fury as she sent bolts of electricity at Lucy that were followed with a rain of light spears from Raynare.
"Hun?" Lucy asked as Issei put a hand on her shoulder while giving a mental command that Ddraig obeyed.
[Transfer] Ddraig roared as Lucy's power skyrocketed to the sky's making even Grayfia started to sweat a little bit.
"Ohhh...t-this is so g-g-good." Lucy moaned as she felt Issei's power overflowing in her making her blush a little at the thought of him overflowing her in other places. Though she quickly returned to the battle as she formed a huge shield that blocked all of their attacks with ease.
"Finish them. I will hold off Sona's group." Issei told her as she nodded with a smile as both of them blurred disappearing into nothingness.
"Where did they go?" Rias yelled as she couldn't see or feel them anywhere.
That was until they heard a yell of pain coming from Sona's Knight and Rook as they were sent into the trees. Making all of them have wide eyes as they saw Issei creating a large ball of energy in front of his hand.
Seeing that if something isn't done quickly they would lose. Rias decided to risk it all in an attempt to stop Issei.
"Stop him. Now!" Rias yelled as the ones that were attacking Lucy charged at Issei surprising both off them at this. Though that was a costly mistake. As Lucy seeing that she was free from the attackers charged in high speed at an undefended Rias surprising her and her peerage who were on their way to stop Issei. Kicking her hard with a roundhouse kick to the head, Lucy sent her flying hard to the trees where Rias went through two of them before stopping on the third with her head, hitting the ground first as she was knocked out cold.
"Idiot." Was what Sona said as she knew better than sending all of her fighting force against the two. Which was proven to be a recipe for disaster. She on purpose held her Queen near her to at least delay one of them till the others could come to defense.
"All of you retreat it's pointless to fight them like this, they aren't even using their full power against us. Akeno, get everyone else to collect her and take her back to the ORC. Student Council, we are heading back. Issei Hyoudou and Lucy Lucifuge don't think this is over what you did was traitorous and the Higher ups will hear about what you did." Sona spoke as she saw that this was a losing battle. She couldn't risk losing her peerage only to subdue one of them. Though as the retreat order was issued, Issei released his armor returning in his base form. Though as Sona said those words Grayfia decided to correct her.
"Lady Sona, if you think that what Issei Hyoudou did was traitorous then you should know that he was given full permission to negotiation with the church members in hopes of you and Rias not dying and having a bigger chance of winning against Kokabiel. So I would consider that you wisely do NOT speak of this. Since your attack against a future head of Lucifuge House. And I think that even the Sitri and Leviathan would not want to hear this since it's like attacking a Maou. As the members of Lucifuge are the ones that are the closest to the Lucifer." Grayfia said in strict voice making it crystal clear that even her sister would be smart enough to not talk about this.
Sona just nodded with wide eyes and teleported with her peerage along with Rias and her peerage that were pale with the said King out of commission. Leaving only Issei and the Lucifuge sisters and the Kendo duo.
"Well, I think Leviathan will be pissed at us over this." Issei said as he scratched his head while thinking.
"You don't have to worry about it Ise, I will make sure that Leviathan does nothing bad to you. We will say that this was a sort of training practice and that both Kings needed a lot of experience to fight someone even just above their level. If they continued to fight a delaying battle against you. They would have won a war of attrition and could gather their forces to fight Lucy to maybe a stalemate. Though Rias' stupid decision decided the battle like how it was in the Rating game against Riser. If she didn't hold onto the healer and the tear, she could have helped both Akeno and you to win with you transferring your power to them overpowering Riser." Grayfia explained earning a nod from all of them.
"Well, now that that's settled. Let us return home Lucy. Grayfia, Mura, Kat… you are more than welcome to come and have dinner at my place. The exorcists are there also resting." Issei told them as he took Lucy's arm and starts walking home with the Kendo duo following them. Grayfia just smiled before calling Sirzechs telling him that she would have dinner at Issei's place and that she had to tell him something important later.
Grayfia just smiled, after Sirzechs told her it was alright and she started walking towards her future brother in law house. As Grayfia walked, she started thinking of how she could accelerate Issei's rise to High-Class as she now, even more, was sure that Lucy and Issei were perfect for each other.

Getting home, Issei stumbled upon a scene that made him chuckled. Irina was lying on the floor with her hair over her face with her feet on Xenovia's head as the said girl was leaning onto Cassie who was watching a movie not minding her two sleeping companions at all.
As Issei got closer, he mentioned to others to keep quiet as this will be interesting. As he was near her Issei put his lips near her ear whispering a lullaby word to her making her eyes grow a little heavier as she was starting to slowly go to sleep. Though just as she went to sleep Issei made his move and since his parents were out having their walk, Issei summoned his gear and told Ddraig to shout Boost as loud as he could. That idea made the mighty dragon roar in amusement as he complied with it. Bringing his gear near the half asleep Cassie, Ddraig roared so loudly that it made the whole house shake scaring even Lucy and Grayfia from his mighty roar.
[Boost!]
That made all three girls yell as Issei started rolling on the floor laughing seeing all three of them hug each other with white faces scared to death by Ddraig's voice.
"ISSEI!" Irina, Xenovia and Cassie shouted as they all brought their weapons into view but stopped as they saw that Grayfia, Lucy and the Kendo captains were on the floor laughing at their reaction as it was priceless to them.
Feeling embarrassed, Cassie just walked to Issei and pulled his ear hard making him yelp a little while laughing.
"That wasn't funny Ise." Cassie said with a cute pout that made him blush a little still laughing and in pain.
"S-Sorry...ouch...it was fun...from...our...angel...ouch..." Issei said between laughs and pain that Cassie was putting his ear go through.
"Meanie." Cassie said as she turned around still having a cute pout that made Issei smiled with a soft blush from her cuteness.
"Aww, it wasn't that bad." Lucy said as she somehow managed to gather control over her breathing.
"Oh, I needed that, it has been awhile since I laughed this much." Grayfia said as she also managed to stop laughing.
Grayfia's voice made all three girls tense and put up their guard, though Grayfia easily seeing their action knew why they were pent up.
"I'm not here to fight you. I'm here as a support more. You can lower you weapons." Grayfia told them as she went into the kitchen to make some tea for them.
"What she said is true, she is way stronger than all of us combined so just take a seat and let's relax, though where is Chelsea?" Issei asked not seeing the auburn girl anywhere.
"Oh, she is in the guest room keeping an eye on that Knight. She said she will come down when you guys come." Irina answered with a smile making Issei nod.
"Oh, darling is back how nice." A voice was heard as all of them turn to the stairway to see Chelsea sitting on one of the stairs while having a sweet smile. Though in Issei's case it was way too sweet.
"C-Chelsea what did I do to have you mad at me?" Issei said nervously as Chelsea stood up and started walking slowly towards him as he backed up.
"Now, let me think, okay darling? You told me to look for Kiba. That took 4 hours to find him and there is also a thunderstorm with wind and thunder that was roaring. Hmm... Can you guess why I'm about to kill you?" Chelsea said in a sweet tone making Lucy and other girls laugh as Issei turned pale as he put the dots together and it was spelling to him a world of hurt.
"Umm...is there anything I can do to make you overlook this?" Issei asked as he gulped a little.
"Hmm... I will think about it, but since Kiba is about to wake up I will take a rain check on that." Chelsea said making Issei sigh in relief as he dodged the bullet.
"Thank you, Chelsea. Though I will go get Kiba, you all sit down until I get him." Issei said as the girls nodded and when to take a sit with Grayfia serving tea to them.
It didn't take long for Issei to return as he was dragging Kiba with him while the other tried to do anything to get out of the grip of the angry dragon who was looking like he was about to kill him.
"Sit down." Issei said to him as he threw him to the empty sit while standing in front of him.
"What do you want? And why are they here?" Kiba asked as he saw the church members looking at him with curiosity.
"What I want is to know why you are acting like an Idiot. As for them, they are my guests and I doubt they will attack you with Lucy and Grayfia here. So spill it out, why are you so hell bent on destroying those swords and what did you mean by horror blades that killed you and your comrades?" Issei asked in a powerful voice that made Kiba and the girls shiver a little bit as they were certain something bad will happen if Issei doesn't get the answer he wants.
