The Sins' Return Chapter 14: Falling Towards the Sky

(Que Seven Deadly Sins Ost "Sky Peace")

"This has been a surprising development." Kokabiel said. "Who knew that the lowly slut I had under my command could actually restore Excalibur?"

"Oh, Kokabiel, there is so much more to come." Raynare replied with amusement. "You no longer face Raynare of the Grigori, but of the Seven Deadly Sins, and I am the Lion Sin of Pride."

Kokabiel quirked an eyebrow. "The Lion Sin of Pride? But that would mean you've met that damn Meliodas, haven't you?"

Raynare shrugged. "It doesn't matter. What does is your demise."

"Oh really?" Kokabiel chuckled. "Do you really think you can take me on alone, daughter of Merlin?"

"She's got backup." Ruby interjected as she and Issei in Balance Breaker joined at Raynare's side.

"Guys, it's best you stay out of this." Issei told the ORC.

Rias was reluctant to answer due to her pride but relented, and the rest of her peerage followed. Murayama, Katase, Xulean, and Xenovia also relented, knowing that this fight was out of their hands.

Meanwhile, Kokabiel unveiled his wings and flew to stare down at Ruby, Raynare, and Issei.

"Be honest with me here, Raynare was it?" Ruby said. "What are our chances of winning?"

"If it was the middle of the day, we would surely win." Raynare answered. "But now is a different story. The difference of power between eight wings compared to ten wings is unimaginably vast, even if Issei-san here is in Balance Breaker. Worse yet, I sense that Kokabiel has a seal on his power."

"You mean he's been holding back this entire time!?" Issei responded incredulously.

"Afraid so." Raynare said grimly. "We have to take him down hard and fast, especially since we have less than ten minutes now before he finishes his destruction of Kuoh. Perhaps through a surprise attack."

Surprisingly, that kind of surprise came to everyone when the barrier surrounding the school suddenly shattered. Issei felt a strong tingle run through his entire body, and he felt the Boosted Gear around him act funny. His eyes automatically went to the source to where his feeling was pointing, and it was towards the moon. From there, Issei's tracked a shockingly fast object zip through the air at such speeds it left a trail of blue in its wake. His eyes caught the glint of white armor and wings of pure blue energy, and Issei felt Ddraig growl in anger. There could only be one thing that could make the Boosted Gear and in sense Ddraig act like this.

His rival, the holder of Divine Dividing and host of Albion. The White Dragon Emperor has made his appearance. Unnoticed to either Raynare or Issei, Ruby tensed up and a blush to cover her cheeks.

She didn't expect him to be here of all places.

'D-Darling is here?!' Thought Ruby. 'Oh, I hope my hair is alright.'

The blur of blue was heading towards Kokabiel in an intent to rip off his wings. He did seem to even sense the approach of the White Dragon Emperor in the glory of his Scale Mail racing towards him with hand outstretched to divide the fallen angel's power. Kokabiel it would seem was going to be taken out by surprise until they saw the smirk on his face.

'Too little and too predictable.' Kokabiel thought.

Faster than he ever moved in the entire fight, Kokabiel turned around with a golden sword of light in his right hand and struck the White Dragon Emperor from behind him. Issei's eyes widened in the fact that his rival, who he knew was incredibly power if that speed was anything to go by, couldn't even land a hit with the element of surprise. It showed in truth that Kokabiel really was holding back.

The sound of cracked metal resounded through the field, and they could see small shards of the White One's Scale Mail flying in the air from where Kokabiel struck. The armored figure fell to the sky, much like story tale of a dragon having been fallen from the sky.

"Vali!" Screamed Ruby in concern, blurring away at super speeds leaving silver petals in her wake.

'So Vali is his name.' Issei thought. 'How does Ruby know him?'

The now named Vali was caught by Ruby holding the bulky armored figure over her shoulder just before he hit the ground. The heiress of Heaven carefully set the White Dragon Emperor down and quickly assessed the damage. Ruby saw that the Scale Mail was slashed through from the left shoulder to the bottom of the lower pectoral.

There wasn't much blood, which indicated that the armor managed to reduce the attack to a shallow cut, but even that was enough to alarm Ruby. Even a simple cut from a light sword was deadly because of what Vali is.

Ruby forcefully removed the helm of the Scale Mail, revealing a deadly handsome face with blue eyes and a head of spiky, silver hair. Currently, the revealed Vali was wincing in pain from the holy magic that was acting like poison. Vali is after all half devil, which meant holy weapons were dangerous to him.

"Vali darling, are you okay?" Ruby asked, her voice dripping with worry.

"Bastard got a lucky shot in." Hissed Vali in pain. "I'm fine. I'll just get up-"

"No, you are not fine." Ruby berated, forcing Vali to lie down. "We both know how dangerous holy magic is to you. At least let me siphon it out."

Ruby laid a hand over Vali's wound and a white light emitted from her palm. Golden light seemed to exit from the wound and gather in Ruby's palm, thus relieving Vali of the poisoning holy power. His demonic essence soon stopped leaving his body once all of the holy power was sapped out. Automatically, the Scale Mail regenerated and left no such crack in the armor.

"Did you really think I am that foolish?" Kokabiel bellowed. "I knew that Azazel was going to send somebody on my way. However, I am slightly surprised he sent his little White Dragon Emperor. Ha-ha-haha-ha-ha. HA-HA-HA-HA-HA. Holy shit, this has turned into the most fun night I've had in a long time. The Red Dragon Emperor, the White Dragon Emperor, the so-called heiress of Heaven, and Merlin's daughter that has reforged Excalibur. All here for me. In thanks for entertaining so much, I'll have you groveling at my feet."

An immeasurable pressure descended on the academy as a golden magic circle opened on Kokabiel's back. More and more holy power than he had ever shown before was rolling off his body like a tidal wave. A golden aura reached to the sky much like the power when the Excalibur's were fused. The sheer amount of holy power was enough to make the devils' skin feel like they are burning. Issei, Ruby, and Raynare had their knees buckling under the pressure.

In the center of the fountain of holy light, they could see the shadow of Kokabiel's form hunched over with his ten wings on full display.

His back seemed to contort as if something was trying to break free.

Kokabiel gave a mighty roar and the immense holy power simply washed over through the area. But now the forces of the ORC and the church stood shocked of Kokabiel emerging from the dust cloud, proudly displaying a full set of twelve wings of as black as night.

"All done now." Kokabiel chuckled, craning his neck. "You people have no idea how uncomfortable that is hiding my last pair of wings."

"No, that can't be." Rias muttered, the will to fight leaving her. "He's Maou-class."

"Shit, he's even stronger than Azazel." Cursed Vali has he rallied with his rival.

[I don't need to say this, but I believe that we have to join forces this time.] Ddraig spoke.

[For once, I agree, Ddraig.] Albion answered as Vali's blue wings glowed as the dragon spoke.

"Raynare, now what are our chances of winning?" Ruby asked.

"Not good." Raynare said grimly with a visible scowl on her features.

"If he had twelve wings this whole time, then he's been playing with us, and it's safe to assume that he's been getting stronger over the centuries. It wasn't all bravado that he wanted to face the likes of Sirzechs. Even worse now that his seal had been released, the power has also bumped up our time table to only less than three minutes. That leaves us with Plan B."

"Plan B?" Ruby wondered.

Raynare snapped her fingers and massive magic circles of white appeared in the sky layering on top of each other. They all formed a tower of magic circles with the biggest being a square resting upon the sky that all of Kuoh would see if the normal inhabitants paid attention. The air around them seemed to part ways like broken pieces of glass. Ruby's eyes widened at the sheer power that was contained in the spell that it was rupturing space and reality itself.

"What are you doing?" Ruby almost shouted.

"I could tell you about the numerous formulas and glyphs that detail how all this happen, but I'll give you the simple version." Raynare explained. "I am opening a tear into the Dimensional Gap and sending us to a different dimension."

"WHAT/ WHAT ?!"

"It's the only viable plan we have." Raynare reasoned. "We won't even have enough time to defeat him before Kuoh is leveled to the ground. By doing this, it cuts his connection off to the destruction seal, and wherever we go I can guarantee we can get back due to the fallback of the dimensions' spatial integrity compromised."

"I do not understand any of that and that does not help me." Ruby exclaimed, as the ground started shaking from the pressure of the magic and the magic circles started spinning faster.

"I am breaking a few dozen laws of reality currently." Raynare quipped. "But when has that ever stopped us."

"Raynare!" Kokabiel snarled, summoning a golden spear of light in his hand. "I don't know what it is you're planning, but frankly I won't let you live to tell about it."

"Gravity has something to say about that." Raynare said with a smirk.

Kokabiel paused in his step by the sheer confusion riddled on his face. "… What?"

"And that's our ticket out of here." Raynare said, pointing up to the sky. "Oh, and Rias. Sorry for about trashing the school."

Now it was Rias' turn to look confused. "… What?"

As if on cue, a giant portal opened within the white magic square in the sky, revealing the chaotic mess that was the Dimensional Gap.

Yet, further beyond that point higher in the sky of the Dimensional Gap was another portal that opened to another place. Upon its appearance, gravity was suddenly reversed with ten times the force.

The buildings were torn apart in an instant with the rubble ascending towards the sky with some bits of the earth. Then the ORC, Xenovia, Ruby, Issei, Murayama, Katase, Vali, Xulean, and Kokabiel were made a victim to the force.

There is something nostalgic about falling towards the sky as all of them were first experiencing. Let's just say that they weren't so enthusiastic in the moment.

"Son of a biiiitch!" Screamed Issei, uselessly flailing his arms around as though swimming in the air would help him return to Earth.

"What the heeelll!?" Rias screamed.

"You crazy raven!" Ruby spat, spinning uncontrollably in the air with Vali barely doing any better beside her.

"Damn you, slut!" Cursed Kokabiel, unable to resist the gravitation pull.

"Hey it works, it works." Raynare said nonchalantly, as she was the most relaxed out of everyone who were either flailing uncontrollably, screaming in terror, or both. In fact, she seemed to be on her back per say, resting her head on her hands.

"I hate falling!" Cried Katase.

"Or is this extreme flying?!" Murayama said, her hands waving desperately to the ground that was becoming smaller and smaller by the second.

"I don't know, I'm too fucking scared to think!" Katase cried, going into an uncontrolled spin.

"Everyone." Rias called out, managing to get her composure. "We're about to enter the Dimensional Gap. Summon as much magic around you so you don't die."

"Brace yourselves!" Issei cried, projecting a dragon aura around everyone he could to protect them.

Xenovia had little experience with magic, so she summoned the holy aura of Durandal to protect herself. Everyone gave a last cry before they entered light flashed in the sky indicating that they were no longer in this world and were on a course for another.

(Dimensional Gap)

Great Red was minding his own business as usual. He was still ticked off about that annoying Ophis trying to get him out of 'its' home when he clearly made his claim here. Besides, there is so much room in the Dimensional Gap, all that Ophis has to do is travel a near infinite distance so she can have her silence. 'It' looks for silence and his banishment from the Dimensional Gap, but in his opinion Ophis needs to find a way to live life. Like him for example showing off his awesome tricks that were literally out of this world.

He was currently in the middle of a back flip when he felt a disturbance in the Dimensional Gap. One of the Great Red's golden eyes twitched in irritation, thinking it was Ophis back to annoy him again. So imagine his surprise when he saw two portals big enough to fit him over each other, and even more bizarre was there was a bunch of people flailing around as if gravity was upside down with a bunch of rubble. Actually, that is exactly what was happening when he sensed that gravity was being manipulated, quite dangerously.

One caught his eye, and that was to a raven-haired fallen angel who seemed to pretend she was on a chair on a beach and actually enjoying the fall upwards.

He also sensed two familiar powers that he recognized as Ddraig and Albion. How curious that they were residing in the souls of two different beings. Great Red mused that those two troublemakers must've caused such a ruckus that Yahweh sealed them away. On that thought of that guy brought a snort from Great Red, always preaching on order and whatnot. But he will be the first to admit that the Biblical God had heart, unlike his violent counterpart Satan. Now that guy was even more annoying than Ophis. Arrogant prick tried to tame him. Him, Great Red, the most powerful being in all of forms of existence.

Great Red idly wondered why Shenron adored those humans and other people so much. At least that guy wasn't bothering him as well, always content with watching everything. He didn't get Great Gold's business with just watching everything going on in the world. It was like he was watching some sort of hyped up television show. Strange dragon god he was.

Multiple flashes caught Great Red's eye and he saw the falling people disappear into the new world. Great Red actually remembered that world. It was one that one that was created when Yahweh and Satan had actually cooperated into making something together, and to Great Red's annoyance they went through some sort of weird phase and posed as dragon gods. They got bored after several millennia, purged the world, and blew up that world's moon too. And people call him violent. Good thing Tsukiyomi didn't hear of that, or Yahweh may have died a much more painful way. The two sort of mellowed out after that, Yahweh more so, but that still made them pretentious assholes for doing that. Served that Heretic God right for getting split into pieces.

Just before he was going to lose interest, Great Red saw one last person going into a controlled fall and following the rest of the group.

His aura felt oddly familiar too. It felt like Satan, but the heart itself was completely different. And he was sure the Heretic God didn't have blonde hair. Before Great Red could wonder more, the figure disappeared to the other world and the portals closed, but it left a blur between the two worlds that Great Red could sense.

'Well that happened.' Great Red mused mentally, and he went back to his stunts.

(With the others)

(Cue Red vs. Blue ost "Falling Towards the Sky")

After exiting the Dimensional Gap, Ruby, Raynare, Vali, and Issei managed to control their fall into a dive once they looked to be falling normally and gravity weakened down to normal levels. The devils unveiled their wings to gain a controlled flight as they headed for the ground, and Kiba was carrying Xenovia as she was without flight.

Kokabiel unfolded his twelve wings to their maximum wingspan.

Below them was what looked like a city on rounded hills and mountains under a night sky. There looked to be people fighting down there, and Ruby could sense strange magic coming from the building. Before she could contemplate more, Ruby instincts warned her and she dodged a light sword from Kokabiel.

"You will - pay for this!" Kokabiel roared, frothing at the mouth, but a purple dagger exploded on his back.

"The feeling is mutual." Raynare said, balancing on a piece of rubble.

Ruby also chose to use the rubble to stand before she summoned a white light sword, and Raynare held Excalibur with a purple light sword in her left hand. Kokabiel glanced between the two and summoned twin swords of light. At least he was a little excited that he was still going to battle, and in the middle of a fall nonetheless.

"I don't know whether to thank you or kill you for this opportunity, Raynare." Kokabiel sneered.

Raynare answered by swinging her light sword simultaneously with Ruby attacking from his left side. Bright sparks went off as holy elements clashed with each other, but Kokabiel's sheer power gave him a massive advantage. Ruby continued to fly through a flurry of swings with her sword, but Kokabiel nonchalantly countered and parried each and every time. Raynare raised Excalibur over her head, which the blade lengthened out a humongous blade of pure golden holy energy. Seeing the danger that was coming towards him, he sent a kick to Ruby that almost sent her into an uncontrolled fall if she didn't latch onto a piece of rubble. Kokabiel raised both swords over his head just as the lengthened blade of holy destruction crashed down, creating an explosion of holy power.

Kokabiel found himself in a fall before righting himself, but as he did the Red Dragon Emperor was in front of him with a rocket-powered fist, aided by a jet engine coming out of his elbow. He definitely felt the punch that landed on his face, but it was not so unbearable that Kokabiel couldn't work through the pain. The fallen angel countered with a fist that impacted Issei's chest and send him flying back. The chest of the Scale Centurion armor was cracked and few red shards flew off. Yet, Kokabiel wasn't finished as he quickly summoned a giant spear of light and threw it towards Issei to vaporize him.

[DIVIDE, DIVIDE, DIVIDE.]

Upon the call of the voice of Albion, the two-story-sized spear was reduced to nothingness. Issei glanced to his side and saw Vali, his rival, flying (or was it still falling) beside him with a hand outstretched.

"Can't have my rival die yet." Vali said.

Rias, who was higher than the battling five, wasn't one to watch contently. She formed a sphere of destruction and sent it down to Kokabiel. The fallen angel was going to swat it away but the sphere exploded right in front of him and bathed in the power of the Bael clan. His only saving grace was his holy aura that protected him from permanent damage, but he emerged from the blast with smoke coming off his body.

A magic circle opened in front of Kokabiel and he sent a hail of not numerous spears of light, but all of them being bigger than a person even. Issei acted quickly, going through uncountable [BOOSTS] and looked to Asia.

"Asia, cast a barrier and I'll give you the power." Issei called to the angel.

Despite the situation, Issei's voice alone raised Asia's heart. "OOkay."

[TRANSFER.]

A might green aura surrounded Asia as she was given the accumulated power of the Red Dragon Emperor, making her magic soar high-tiered Ultimate-class. With a grunt of effort, Asia erected a huge green barrier in front of them and protected everyone from Kokabiel's onslaught.

"This is getting us nowhere." Said Ruby.

"Then we need to get to the ground, as in right now." Raynare said.

"And I have just the way to do that."

Ruby widened her eyes as she had a faint idea of what she planned.

"Oh no-"

"World Pull."

"DAAMMMIIITT!" Ruby shouted when Raynare turned the gravity up to ten times again.

"WHAT THE FUUUCK?!" Screamed Kokabiel, losing his control in his fall as it felt like a fish being reeled towards the ground.

"NOT AGAIN!" Issei shouted, feeling like a meteorite barreling towards the ground.

At the speed all of them were falling, they as be comets entering the atmosphere. Their bodies were unable to stop or even control their fall, and they could only watch as the ground came frighteningly fast.

They were a hundred feet left in the air, and some were already preparing themselves for being a smear on the ground. Vali, however, managed to use the power he divided into his wings to maneuver himself and held Ruby close intent on taking the damage for her.

"Perfect Protection."

Their fears were naught as Raynare casted another spell. A thin, but noticeable white layer surrounded them, except for Kokabiel of course. This spell was based on Merlin's Perfect Cube as it was an impenetrable defense. However, Raynare could only hold it for a few seconds and it was nowhere close to Merlin's capabilities, but it will work nonetheless.

(End Ost)

Down on the ground, whatever conflict that was happening that involved this world stopped as the ground shook and multiple crashes. In the building where a dusty old Qrow, a bitchy Raven, a hulk of a man in a green shirt of the name Hazel, an assassin with robotic legs named Mercury, a mint-haired girl going by Emerald, a loyal bandit by the name of Vernal, a cowardly lion named Leo, and a scarred, power-hungry woman named Cinder. Among them were several teens, including a buxom blonde brawler going by Yang, an heiress named Weiss, a rising knight named Jaune, a former farmer boy named Oscar, a champion named Pyrrha, an insane terrorist with horns named Adam, a green ninja named Ren, a cat lady named Blake, and a breaker of legs called Nora.

All were fighting at Haven academy in a pivotal battle, one of many to determine the fate of their world Remnant. But that very fate, that whole untold epic tale of heroism and tragedy, turned upside down as soon as Vali, holding Ruby close, crashed through and into a corner the building. All fighting stopped and the pairs of eyes went to the dust cloud that was picked up.

Ruby groaned as she got up, her head feeling like a top. "What the… Fell really high. Somehow not squished."

Most of the people froze up at the sound of the voice. Pyrrha and Yang's reactions were much more visible tears gathered in their eyes. Cinder, however, was shaking in rage as it was the owner of the voice that lost her an eye and an arm. And when the dust cleared, Weiss, Jaune, Pyrrha, Yang, Blake, Nora, and even Qrow could not hold back tears at the sight of Ruby.

Don't mind the mech-like being hulking over her protectively.

None of them had seen the silver-eyed for eight months. The only one to have last seen her was Pyrrha, who Ruby took an arrow for her on the top of Beacon tower. After that, there was a flash of white light and no one had seen her since. Some thought she was dead until now.

"Ruby." Whimpered Yang, catching the angel's attention.

"Eh?" Ruby blinked when she realized Vali and her were not alone.

That there were in fact people here in the area where they crashed.

People that looked as though they knew her, but she didn't know them

"Uh…" That was all Ruby could let out, unable to find the right words for this situation. "Hi?"

Apparently, that wasn't the right thing to say as one of the 'strangers' chose to attack.

"DIE!" Cinder cried as she charged at the one that scarred her.

Those like Yang were about to cry out or either move to stop that crazed terrorist, but she was too fast and was already upon Ruby.

But instead of Cinder rending through flesh, she stopped when a white armored hand stopped her by gripping her head. Menacing blue eyes of the Scale Mail stared into Cinder's one eye with so much power she was instantly shivering. Anyone who tried to kill someone close to Vali, especially Ruby, meets a very painful end.

"You know I could've handled that." Ruby quipped at Vali.

"Force of habit, dear." Vali replied, and Ruby could feel the smirk on his face behind the helm.

"Aww, you are such a heartthrob." Ruby cooed, before her eyes narrowed.

"You tried to hurt Ruby." Vali said, the air around him growing cold.

"That deserves a severe punishment."

[DIVIDE, DIVIDE, DIVIDE, DIVIDE, DIVIDE, DIVIDE, DIVIDE, DIVIDE, DIVIDE, DIVIDE.]

Vali kept on dividing Cinder's power till her arms went limb at her sides. She was dropped to the floor unceremoniously to the floor, and Cinder could only move her eyes around in fright.

"H-How?" Cinder wheezed. Even speaking was too much for her.

"What pathetic power." Vali said. This bitch that tried to kill his girlfriend was only High-class at best.

"Did he just…" Qrow said, too speechless what the hell happened.

"All of that trouble and that guy just dropped a Maiden like a sack of potatoes." Oscar concluded Qrow's dialog.

Ruby then crouched down to look at Cinder. Her amber eyes glared with rage, which prompted Ruby to gaze with confusion and curiosity. Did these people know her, and if so how?

Ruby couldn't help but ask. "Why do you have so much hate towards me?"

"Why?!" Cinder growled. "Because you did this to me!"

The angel could not help but cringe at the accusation in the woman's voice. Not even knowing who the person she somehow wronged made her feel even worse. As such she acted accordingly and her eyes glazed toward Cinder with the softness of clouds.

"I have no knowledge of who you are." Ruby said with the softness of angels. "In all intents and purposes, this is the first time we have met each other. If in some way I wronged you, then I am sorry."

All of the fighters widened their eyes that Ruby was openly apologizing to the very woman who probably killed her. Cinder looked for some sort of deceit in Ruby's silver eyes, but she was shocked to find genuine truth and kindness. She wanted to cry out in fury for having her pity. Yet, Cinder could not find the will within her to actually hate Ruby.

"Ruby, why are you apologizing to her?" Yang exclaimed, taking a step to her sister. "She's the one that-"

"How?" Ruby interrupted with a raised voice, taking a step back.

"How do you know my name? Who are you?"

That very sentence brought a shocking realization to everyone who 'knew' Ruby in the room that she doesn't remember them. They looked at Yang with pity, who tried to deny the truth to the matter.

Tears were spilling down her cheeks and her joyful smile was becoming strained.

"What's going on here?" Oscar wondered. "How do they know her but she doesn't seem to know them?"

'I don't know what the causes are, but it seems Mrs. Rose has amnesia.' Spoke the voice of Ozpin within Oscar's head.

"R-Ruby, come one, enough with the jokes." Yang almost sobbed. "IIt's me, Yang. You're-"

"Yang." Said Qrow, who had a hand on her niece's shoulder. "Stop.

She doesn't remember you or all of us for that matter. Whatever happened to Ruby, to her we are complete strangers."

"But… n-no…" Yang whimpered.

However, a few were taking no heed to this inner drama. The most prominent being Raven as she was formulating a new plan. With Cinder incapacitated, she didn't need to go along with her anyway. In fact, she may as well eliminate the threat right now. While everyone had their guard off, Raven rushed towards the downed Cinder ready to drive her nodachi through Salem's servant. Only Qrow managed to get his whits, but he would never make it. But her blade never made it as it was caught in Ruby's grasp. Raven felt like she had instead tried to hit a steel with her blade rather than the flesh of a hand. Ruby's silver eyes locked onto the bandit leader, but they lacked the softness from earlier.

"Excuse me, but I cannot allow an unjust act on someone who is defenseless." Ruby reprimanded.

Raven gagged as she felt as though a truck slammed into her gut, but when she looked down she only found a fist lodged in it. She tried to endure, to use her own Maiden magic to get out of this situation, but the strength in the punch was so unbelievable it had shattered her Aura. Her vision blacked out and Raven hunched over Ruby's arm, who then gently laid the Spring Maiden on the ground.

"Okay, what the fuck?" Qrow exclaimed. Why? Because little Ruby just instantly knocked a veteran Huntress with one punch.

"Raven lost?" Gasped Vernal, dropping to her knees.

"Well that happened." Vali said.

Ruby sighed. "Why do people have to be so violent? So much of the world's problems would've been solved."

And unfortunately, it didn't stop there as Adam took this chance to get his kill on Blake and the Schnee. Blake managed to get out of the way of his sword, but he was making a beeline for Weiss. The Schnee only had a moment to widen her eyes as she the red blade coming for her neck and the sickening smirk on Adam's face. The blade was inches from Weiss' neck before a white spear of light was thrown into Adam's shoulder. The tyrannical Faunus cried in pain, staggering him back. Eyes followed the trajectory of the blade only to widen to find Ruby with a golden halo and eight wings of shining silver unfolded to their proud display.

"Can't be drunk for this shit." Qrow muttered.

"Ruby…" Gasped Yang.

"GET DOWN!" Ruby suddenly shouted as she was in front of the entrance of the building.

Not even a second later, the humans and Faunus were blown off their feet by a massive golden explosion. The entire front of the building was blown apart along with the roof. Miraculously, none of them were dead thanks to Ruby who had countered with a shield of silver steel with a yellow gem. Around her chest was now some sort of silver chassis of a bulky silver armor with a golden gem on the sternum.

This was Ruby's Artificial Sacred Gear, Kiryu Battle, given to her by Azazel as a gift, and totally not because he was scared shit-less from Eliza. It has the spirit of ancient Steel Dragon who could be considered one of the dragon matriarchs. The Sacred gives Ruby the ability to create any sort of metal construction be it magnums, gatling guns, or powerful cannons. Unfortunately, the dragon within the Sacred Gear that does not exactly like her to her connection to Yahweh, who did not like dragons himself, and as such this situation was dire.

"I thought he died on the fall." Ruby cried.

"Apparently, that only pissed him off." Vali added.

"Who are you talking about?" Weiss shouted.

"A warmonger with enough power to blow up the entire continent." Vali answered bluntly.

"… You're fucking with us, right?" Surprisingly, this came from Blake.

A roar of rage dashed those hopes aside and they saw Kokabiel in the air, his eyes fully red that his pupils were gone. The humans and Faunus shivered at the sheer power that Kokabiel was unleashing.

Around him were the ORC, down on the ground beaten. Only Issei and Raynare were left, the former coming in for a punch to Kokabiel.

The fallen angel swatted away the punch and punished with a knee to Issei's stomach then a straight jab that broke the armor on Issei's left pectoral.

"I will not stand for this!" Kokabiel outraged. "I will not be made a fool by some wretch. I had the such a good plan to have another war, but no instead you all had to send me to another fucking dimension.

That is it. Everyone dies!" With a flap of all twelve of his wings, Kokabiel ascended to the sky over the city of Mistral. He raised his hand in the air and the sky was now filled with uncountable light spears all of which were the size of buildings.

"You weren't kidding." Qrow said in terror. "Just what the hell did you bring with you?"

"I can't divide all of them." Vali informed grimly.

Ruby suddenly ran out into the open, ignoring the screams of Yang to get back. She reached to the katanas on her hip. The one on her left had a hilt of gold with a golden tsuba while the one on her right was black with silver linings and lacking a guard replaced with a silver rhombus structure.

"Thou will know the wrath of the motherly sun; The eternal thunder will consume the world." Ruby chanted and the chains around the swords started to glow. "Mother of the land will have her revenge; Upon this world is the storm's retribution." The chains shattered into the dust and as Ruby pulled out the blades, golden lightning latched off her left sheath and blue fire swarmed out the right sheath. "Reduce the universe to ashes; Bring the wrath of the sky. ZANKU NO TACHI; SUGARI NO ONTACHI!"

The humans and Faunus had to shield their eyes from the bright lightning that was finally freed from the sheath, yet none of them were prepared for the intense heat that hungered to burn. Ruby had little control over them as she did, but a little was enough. She gave the mightiest swords of the Shinto Faction direction to the sky.

Golden lightning and azure fire swallowed the entire sky, and for a moment there was no longer the darkness of the night. The rain of golden spears were all destroyed from the unleashed power of Koma and Jito. It all happened in an instant, and the fires and lightning gave out as their wielder lost the strength to wield them. She collapsed on her knees in exhaustion and would've fallen to the ground if Vali didn't catch her.

"Impressive, perhaps you really might become the new goddess of Heaven." Kokabiel mused, for some reason still had a grin on his voice. "But tell me, heiress of Heaven, what about that spear?"

Their eyes snapped to the sky and saw that Kokabiel had hidden another spear behind the clouds. However, this one was absolutely monstrous in size, in that the clouds parted way for it. The spear of golden light was the size of the city itself, and crashing down with the flare of the meteorite as fire licked off the spear point. But the world would not stop it.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha." Laughed Kokabiel as his own spear passed by him.

"I didn't live in this world as a contented fool. To survive means to be the absolute strongest. God himself could not kill me, and I am even stronger than when I held my ground to him. If he were still alive, he would be fearing me!"

"Is this it?" Whimpered Yang. She was the only to voice her thoughts as the others were basically giving up at this point. Those of the supernatural were still clinging to life, but were too battered to do anything, and Raynare had no way to stop the spear nor could Excalibur stop it. At least, she can take in comfort that if she were to die, Kokabiel would have no chance returning to their universe.

Suddenly, her eyes snapped open as she saw a shadow of a short man get in between the continent-ender spear and the ground.

"FULL COUNTER!"

(Cue Seven Deadly Sins ost "Perfect Time")

The familiar clink of steel perked up the humans and Faunus' senses yet filled the supernatural people with hope. The spear distorted till it became pure holy light that was sent up the sky at the speed of light.

They watched as the intense golden light ascended to the sky, making it dimmer like the setting of the sun. It eventually lit up the night as the magic exploded in a blast big enough to reshape a continent. Then their thoughts turned to how this miracle happened and their eyes found a short blonde resting a short sword on his shoulder. Kokabiel narrowed his eyes at the awfully familiar short blonde with green eyes that was giving him a cheery smile.

"You guys did good." Spoke the dwarf of a blonde.

"Uncle Meliodas/ Meliodas-sensei?!" Exclaimed Raynare and Issei.

"Don't worry, kids." Meliodas chirped, giving a wink to his students.

"I'll take it from here."

"Who the hell is it now?" Roared Kokabiel, crashing back to the ground. "Who the hell are you?!"

"Ah, nothing much." Meliodas brushed off, pointing his Sacred Treasure, Lostvayne, at the fallen angel. "Just a concerned, friendly neighborhood bar owner."

I am really surprised how long I type these chapters. Now a couple of things in this chapter I need to mention. First, Raynare's use of opening dimensions is not necessarily power, but spell formula as she does have the same intellect as Merlin, who in this fanfic is a fallen angel with twelve wings and is considered the most powerful sorceress that even makes gods fear her craft. Secondly, Ruby's sword is just called Zanka no Tachi because I needed a name for the Shinto Faction's most powerful fire elemental sword with Sugari no Ontachi as its sibling blade. So it really isn't like Yamamoto's sword, or even a zanpakuto for that matter. Thirdly is Kokabiel's power, in which case we don't necessarily know just what are the limits of a Maou-class entity, and of course those like Sirzechs and Meliodas are stronger than this but if Kokabiel had twelve wings he would most certainly outclass Azazel. For those of you who might complain about Issei not being able to beat him in Balance Breaker, there is a massive gap between those with eight wings and ten wings, and Issei had just acquired his fourth pair. That gap grows immeasurably to twelve wings completely overpowering ten wings.

And now I hope you're excited for the fight between two Maouclass entities.

Up next is Chapter 15: Meliodas vs. Kokabiel.
