Chapter 4: The wager
The class had just made it down the mountain, the students were out of breath and panting. Yosuke, Shura, and Yukio look back up at the mountain and saw the forest was being consumed by Rin's blue flames.
Suddenly, Rin came flying down towards the group and landed a few feet Infront of them.
"Rin!" Shiemi yelled out. Rin stood up and turned towards Shiemi, the look on his face scared Shiemi a little, but the teachers got in front of her.
Rin stood there snarling like a beast. "Rin!" "Shiemi no!" Yukio reached out to try and stop her. Shiemi ran and hugged Rin, he's flames not effecting her at all. He stiffened up at her touch.
"Shi...emi." He muttered as the flames around his body slowly died down. He fell to his knees and passed out, the others then went to check one him.
"Aw, their just as blue as they were that night." Everyone looked up to see a man standing on top of a ledge.
"Ugh, of all people why him?" Yosuke said while Shura groaned.
"Good morning everyone. My name is Arthur Aguste Angel, I'm a Senior Exorcist first class from Vatican H.Q." the now named Arthur said looking down at the class.
"Angel?" Izumo repeated confused. "He's the new Paladin." Shura said shocking the ExWires.
"That's right, I'm your superior now." Angel said. Both Yosuke and Shura shared the same look that said 'seriously?'.
Back to the matter at hand, you two we're sent here to investigate a conspiracy between Mephisto and the late Shiro Fujimoto. Am I correct?" "Yeah, but we aren't the only ones you sent are we?" Shura asked. "That is true, but unlike the others, you were told that if you found out that if Satan was involved in any way you were to destroy the source then and there."
Yukio gasped, Yosuke and Shura scoffed. "Wouldn't you agree that this blue flame spewing beast falls under that category?"
"You're as perceptive ever Angel." Everyone turns to see Mephisto who appeared out of nowhere.
"Sir Pheles." "Congratulations are in order, I heard you recently became the Paladin." "It seems you've finally shown your tail, The Greggory know of your treachery and have enough prof to seal your fate." "Accusations like that are quite rude, a true gentleman like me never shows his tail."
Arthur hummed and dramatically drew his sword. He then blurred and reappeared behind Rin, he picked him up by the back of his shirt and held his sword at his back.
"By order of the Greggory, I shall now execute the son of Satan." Before he could pierce Rin, Shura ran up and slashed at him and he dropped Rin in order to dodge. Yosuke then went in for a slash but Arthur blocked it. The two crossed blades, a dome of sparks forming around them and dissipating when they deadlocked.
"Why do you protect him? Are you two in league with Mephisto?" Arthur asked when he and Yosuke separated. "Sorry Arty, but you're way off with that one." "Fujimoto wanted you and Shura to teach the boy, don't tell me you're going to fulfill the request of the saddest excuse for a Paladin ever."
"You heard him already baldy." Shura said, pointing her sword at Arthur who just laughed, holding his sword on hus shoulder. "As you can clearly see I am no where near bald, therefore your insult defies logic." Arthur said while laughing before stopping and getting serious.
"Regardless, out of everyone, I thought that you of all people wouldn't hesitate to complete this mission, Yosuke." Yosuke tsked at those words. "It doesn't matter who you are, the Greggory's orders are absolute, even for the two of you."
Arthur's earpiece then chimed. "Mhmm… understood."
Arthur lowered his sword and cleared his throat. "That was the Greggory. Mephisto Pheles, you are here by ordered to report to them immediately for a disciplinary hearing." "Oh my, I can't wait." "Yosuke, Shura, you two will be coming along as witnesses. I'll also be bringing the son of Satan as evidence."
"Excuse me, I'd like to go too." Yukio said, stepping forward. "I believe that you should stay and look after your students, like a good teacher." Mephisto said, picking up Rin's sword. "Your brothers flames can no longer be contained now that his sword Is cracked." He said showing the crack in the blade of the sword that was half way though it before he sheathed it and handed it to Yukio.
Yukio and the rest could only watch as an Exorcist picked up Rin and walked off.
(Skipping the court hearing as it follows the cannon.)
In the grand courtroom of the Vatican, Mephisto stood on a tall pedestal in the middle of the room while Angel, Yosuke and Shura stood at the bottom. In front of the three, Rin was suspended in a floating, blue transparent crystal, unconscious with his demon features still exposed.
In front of Mephisto sat the three sages of the Greggory, two males and one female. They all wore black and white robes adorned with gold, they also had hoods that covered all of their features except for their mouths.
The hearing continued on with even Angel jumping in. While everyone was arguing, the building began to shake as if an earthquake hit.
In the lower levels, the ground broke open and a swarm of goblin demons came flying in followed by Amaimon, who now had a goblin tail, horns, and arms, who was riding a top his now gigantic pet Behemoth.
"How did Amaimon get in here?!" the younger male sage asked. "Angel!" the older male sage shouted. "Yes sir." Angel said then ran out of the room, followed by Yosuke and Shura.
"Are you behind this, Pheles?" the young male sage asked getting g a small chuckle out of the demon. "Now what reason would I do such a thing at my own hearing. Although, I believe it would be within our best interest to indulge in this golden opportunity we have to witness the power of the son of Satan first hand." "What do you mean?" the female sage asked.
"We are currently under attack milady, and currently the only weapon we have that is powerful enough to protect us is the boy. Would anyone here like to see weather he becomes our savior or the next demon king?"
In the halls leading towards the courtroom, a squad of exorcists were taking out all the goblin demons, they only stopped when Amaimon and Behemoth appeared.
They opened fire, but their bullets only bounced off of him and didn't even draw his attention. "There he is." Amaimon muttered as he look straight ahead.
Suddenly the gunfire had stopped. Amaimon looked down and saw that the group of exorcists had fled and Angel had walked in front of him.
Yosuke and Shura came from around the corner with their swords drawn.
"It will be safer for you two to stay back." Angel said condescendingly, making the duo grow tic marks. "SHUT THE HELL UP YOU DAMNED HIPPY!" They shouted in unison.
Angel drew his sword and disappeared in a flash of golden light, Shura turned her sword into its snake belly form and fired a snake fang, Yosuke jumped up and did a downward slash. All three attacks hit Behemoth, killing him.
"How... dare you. You… you kill my BEHEMOTH!"
Amaimon screamed in rage as the stones around him started to float around him.
Back in the courtroom, the door burst open and flying into came Angel, Yosuke and Shura. After them came a giant stone hand that lead to a giant golem that Amaimon controlled from the head.
He slammed the golem's fist to the floor which caused Rin's crystal to fall and shatter, Rin fell to the floor, still unconscious.
"I'm afraid time is running out folks, it's time to cast your vote yay or nay." Mephisto said loudly as if he were a showman.
"How dare you?! You came here knowing that this demon would come looking for Satan's son?" Angel shouted. "Instead of kneeling there yapping, shouldn't you be protecting the Greggory?" Mephisto questioned with a bored look.
"It's time to settle thing, Rin Okumura." Amaimon said, slowly crushing Rin between the golem's fingers.
One of the fingers suddenly shattered, freeing Rin. it was sliced off by Yosuke who landed in a crouch, breathing heavily. A sniper in the stands shot the golem in the face hoping to hit Amaimon but missed and only shattered part of the face.
The golem then swung it's arm and destroyed part of the stands. "After I'm done with Rin Okumura, I'll kill everyone else here." Amaimon said looking right at the three sages.
"Sir Pheles, I don't care how you do it, finish this demon at once." The female sage ordered. Your wish is my command, milady." Mephisto Said with a bow then snapped his fingers.
"Okumura!" Bon shouted from the stands drawing everyone's attention,he was hold the now repaired Coma sword. "Give me that sword!" Amaimon said reaching out the golem's arm towards Bon. Bon jumped and slid along the length of the arm, tossing the sword to Shima who then threw it to Izumo who ended the game of keep away when she threw it to Yukio. Yukio ran to his downed older brother, but had to dodge a stone demon that Amaimon summoned, this didn't stop him as he crawled and placed the sword on Rins chest.
"Come on Rin, wake up!" He shouted.
The body of the unconscious half breed suddenly burst into blue flames shocking the Sages and getting Mephisto to chuckle.
Rin then stood up and look at the golem with a tired gaze. "You die here." Amaimon said as the golem tried to crush him with its fist. Rin drew his sword and sliced the arm off at the elbow shocking The king of earth. The golem sent another punch with its remaining arm, but Rin jumped and ran up the arm and stabbed Amaimon in the heart.
"This is impossible, how can I the king of earth lose, how could I ever lose?!" Those we're his last words as he burned to ash.
Rin sheathed his sword and fell to the floor, once again unconscious. A clash of metal rang out through the room, everyone looked and saw Yosuke blocking Angel from decapitating Rin.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Bon shouted. "My job, I'm going to end Satan's bloodline, now get out of my way." Angel said, nearly growling out the last part as he locked eyes with Yosuke who made no motion to listen to him.
"Stop Angel." "We've decided to let the boy live for now." "Weather he becomes our ultimate weapon or the cause of our downfall, it's out of our hands now." The sages said one at a time.
Angel and Yosuke stood there for a moment glaring at each other until they both withdraw their blades.
"As you wish my lord."
