AN: Hey everyone, before we get started, I've got an important message for all of my readers. I've put up a poll that said that I'll be deleting and replacing "Long Odds" and "Brave Soul Samurai" with a new story. The reason for this comes from me and my family getting ready to move to a new home later on and we've been trying to figure out what things to keep and what to throw away. I've been kind of doing the same thing with my stories, trying to figure out which ones to keep and what to delete.
"Long Odds" was fun at first, but I've kind of lost interest in it, and the same goes for "Brave Soul Samurai." With Brave Soul Samurai, I've tried to see if I can do two stories from the same series, but I fold doing that story to not be as interesting as "Red Dragon Samurai", doing both stories take up way too much time and effort that I could've been using for my other stories, and its basically a copy of Bleach with no way of being a crossover with Samurai Jack. So, I'm going to be sticking with "Red Dragon" as my main Samurai Jack story.
As for the story that'll take their place, as of now, it's a tie between two stories: "Godzilla: The Titan-Slayer of Fairy Tail" and "Booker and the Princess from Another Dimension".
Make sure to vote for the story you want to be made!
"I only sent a fraction of my chi out, and yet you still came running. I'm glad you can still feel our sisterly bond," Kuroka said in a sedative voice. Laying on her stomach upon a tree branch as she smiled down on her sister.
Koneko's body wanted to shake, but she attempted to remain firm. "What do you want? My time is precious, so spill it," she said with anger in her voice.
"There's no need to be rude, honey. I just heard it through the grapevine that a big party was going down. It caught my interest, but you know what they say about curiosity and cats."Kuroka waved her hand like a cat and winked."
"What do you mean, Koneko's sister is here?" Rias asked in shock. Both she and Kenny were both running as they followed Aoimoku through the forest. The white wolf leading them in the direction he caught Koneko's scent.
"Aoimoku told me that he's sensing two cats. One's stronger than the other," Kenny explained, his eyes steely as he faced forward. His left hand had the Boosted Gear summoned. "He knows Koneko's scent. It now makes sense that he referred to her as a cat. So that means that this other cat..."
"Kuroka! Koneko's sister!"
Meanwhile, back at the party, Akeno was standing away from the table the rest of her friends were at. Deeply troubled by events that place during her training. However, she was pulled out of her thoughts when Karen walked over to the peerage with Gasper staying close behind her.
"Hey, any of you seen Kenny," she asked.
"I haven't seen Kenny in a while," Asia said. "I wonder where he is."
"Now that you mention it, Rias seems to be missing as well," said Xenovia.
"Ah, please escort them in, you two," said Azazel, getting Akenos attention. Looking at the stage of the room, she saw her father walking up the steps with two people behind him. And then on another set of steps, X-9 brought those he escorted to the stage.
X-9 had with him the ancient Egyptian deity of the sun, Ra. The other was Vishnu, one of the principal deities of Hinduism, and the Supreme Being in its Vaishnavism tradition.
Baraquiel escorted the Norse God Odin and someone else who walked behind the old man. This other person was a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure, long, straight silver hair and aqua-colored eyes who appeared to be in her late teens. She wore a simple business suit and skirt.
"Sirzechs, it's been too long," Ra said, as he and the two other Gods stopped in front of the two.
"Indeed. Thank you for this opportunity come to this meet," Vishnu said, raising one of his many arms.
"It's an honor to have you three here," Sirzech said, bowing to the gods standing before him. These were the gods that created the sword that Samurai Jack used to save the world. He was respectful to all of his guests but wanted to show an extra amount of respect.
"The honor is ours, Sirzech," Odin said. "Let me personally thank you for the invitation."
Serafall then skipped over to the gods. " Lord Odin, Lord Ra, and Lord Vishnu, mighty gods of the old world, you honor us with this visit," she said with a bow.
Vishnu bowed with his left hands behind his back, and his right hands over his heart. "It's a pleasure to see you again, Lady Leviathan."
"Yes, but I expected more from you, Leviathan," Odin said, stroking his bread. This confused not only Serafall but also Ra and Vishnu, who back straight again. "A pretty young thing such as yourself shouldn't be in drabs clothing like that."
The gods, Devils, and the woman looked at him with raised eyes. Why would he say that? She looked great. However, Serafall looked down at her dress and must have figured that Odin was right. "Good point. Mirirun mirumiru spiral!" She chanted as her clothes glowed brightly. Her outfit then turned into her magic-girl outfit and did a poss.
A feet meters away, Sona tried to hide her face in embarrassment. Odin, however, looked intrigued by the sexy/cute outfit. "Oh my, what the hell just happened?"
"Well have you been living in a cave or something?" Serafalll said, still holding the poss. "This is a magical girl outfit. They're totes the rage."
"Love it," said the Alfather, stroking his bread. "How'd you like to stroke Odin's bread?"
In the background, Vishnu and Ra looked at him with disapproval. " Do you have no sense of shame?" Asked the Egyptian god. Still annoyed with Odin's perverted side even after thousands of years.
"Please keep in mind why we made this voyage, milord. You're here representing Valhalla," the woman scolded him.
Odin sighed. "Must you always be the downer in the room? It's that kind of attitude that's preventing you from getting a hero for yourself."
The silver-haired woman looked offended at first, but then her face changed to a depressed expression. Suddenly, she burst out into tears and fell to her knee. "I may be just an ugly Valkyrie who's never had a man, but at least I won't die alone, what with living in the Underworld!"
Her crying was heard by everyone who looked at her with wide eyes. X-9 was standing next to Azazel with his arms crossed. Looking at the Valkyrie, who were some of the greatest female warriors in Norse Mythology. But this woman was the exact opposite of that. "Talk about a role reversal," he said to Azazel.
"I'll say," the Fallen Angel said.
"Sorry about her. This ball of neuroses is called Roseweisse. My highly capable, but depressing assistant. That's why she can't find a man," Odin said as Roseweisse wiped away her tears.
Just then, Michael and his angels walked into the room. "Allow me to apologize for keeping you three waiting. Odin, Alfather of the Norse. Ra, God of the Egyptian sun. Vishnu, Preservation of Good. I see you're all looking as hail and hearty as ever."
As she and the others of Rias' peerage were watching from their table, Xenovia gasped when she saw a certain friend with Michael. "Irina!"
Standing with Father Leonardo, Irina looked to Xenovia and gave her a wave.
"Did she come as part of Michael's entourage?" Akeno asked.
"Who'd have figured we'd run into her in the underworld," Asia said.
"It's good to meet you too, Michael," Vishnu said before pointing up one of his right index fingers. "However, there is still someone that's missing that we've yet to meet."
The Devils, Angels, and Fallen Angels looked at him.
Vishnu's eyes squinted a little. "I've yet to see Kenny Kurosawa."
"So, like what are you doing here, Kuroka?" Koneko asked her sister again. Behind the girl, Kenny, Rias, and Aoimoku were hiding in the shadows of the trees and behind the bushes. The Sword was drawn and ready for action. Kenny glared up at Kuroka as the two Nekomata talked to each other. She may be gorgeous, but she was an enemy and he was going to kill her if he had to.
Kenny placed a hand on Aoimoku's back to keep him from rushing and attacking. "Easy boy. Go around and wait for my command," he whispered in his ear. The wolf nodded and stealthfully walked to get into position.
"Seriously? I came back for you Shirone," Kuroka told her. "When things went south, I had to drop everything and run. I couldn't take you with me."
However, Kenny's instincts were telling him that something was wrong. He could sense something else. "I got a bad feeling about this," he muttered.
"Hey-o~kitty cat!"
Kenny's eyes widened. Walking out of was Bikou, Vali's comrade. "The Army of Darkness," Rias whispered with a frown, crossing her arms across her chest.
With a slightly annoyed expression, Kuroka went from laying on the branch to sitting up. "What is it, Bikou?"
"Two rats are veiled in the shadows. You can perceive them, yes?" Rias was shocked a little to find out that Bikou figured them out. Kenny's eyes narrowed. Bikou didn't' sense Aoimoku? "With our mastery over sage arts, we can easily detect interlopers by the mere flow of their chi."
Kenny and Rias glanced at each other. Knowing their cover's been blown, they both came out from their hiding spots.
Koneko turned her head to stare at them in shock. "Rias, you're here. And playboy?"
"Kuroka, Koneko is a member of my household, and we Gremory's always look out for our own," Rias proclaimed with her arms crossed as she and her boyfriend walked up next to Koneko. Kenny placed the Sword on his shoulder.
"Your household?" Kuroka asked in amusement as she looked down at the three Devils. She smirked. "Like that matters. She and I are sisters, first and foremost. I'm not going to give her to you just because you deign it."
Kenny glared up at her as his grip on the sword tightened. "You've got a lot of guts saying that." He then looked to Bikou. "Yo, monkey-ass, Vali not here? Still licking his wounds?"
"Heh, he's fine," Bikou said.
Irked by his early remark to her, Kuroka asked, "Who's the boy?" She pointed to Kenny.
"That is the Red Dragon Emperor. Or as he prefers to be called - the Red Dragon Samurai."
"Oh, really? So this the guy that the Army of Darkness wants dead. The same one that made Vali run for the hills," Kuroka said, impressed as she looked up and down at Kenny's figure. "Quit the handsome Devil."
The samurai's eyes narrowed. He's even attracting her too? Serious? "And I'm guessing that he didn't tell you my warning," Kenny said.
"Oh, that's right," Bikou said nonchalantly before looking up at Kuroka. "He said that if we came after him, he'll kill us."
Kuroka looked at Kenny with a predatory gaze. "Is that so? That's very brave of you, but do you really intend to make the two of us your opponents? I'd like to see you try."
"I still don't get what you want," said Koneko, staring at her sister.
"I wanted to invite you to join Ophis, Vali and me," the black-cat girl said, looking down at her sister. "After all, cutie pie, as my sister, you have the killer power in your blood."
With the Sword still on his shoulder, Kenny stepped in front of Koneko. Surprising the small girl. "You're not taking her anywhere," he declared with a determined glare. "She's one of us. She's our friend and family member. So I'm going to give you this one chance."
He pointed Jack's Katana at Kuroka and Bikou.
"Leave now and live, or stay and face your destiny."
To his annoyance and anger, the two started to laugh at him. So, he moved his left arm to hand so that his sword was pointing to the right. His dragon side was telling him to show them a glimpse of his power.
Bikou replied through his laughter. "No, no, that's very brave of you, but do you really intend to make Kuroka and me your oppo - "
SSSSHHHHHHHIIIIIIIINNNNNNNKKKKKKK!
Time slowed down when Kenny, without even changing it, swiped the Sword to the left, sending a Red Dragon slash at Bikou. The Chinese armored Yokai saw the arch coming at him and only had a split second to dodge the dangerous attack. Jumping over it as the attack zoom below him, and cut the tree that Kuroka was on. Making her jump down as it fell over. The arch cut down all the trees that stood in its way, before carving into the side of a mountain far away. Where it slowed momentum and disappeared.
All looked at the damage that Kenny cause in total shock.
"Perhaps I didn't make myself clear," Kenny said with an irked expression.
Kuroka snapped out her shock, turned to Kenny and smirked. "I guess we'll just have to take her from you then."
"That was amazing! This has just got interesting," Bikou laughed with a smirk, before pointing his staff at the Devils. Kenny could tell that he loved to fight, just like Vali. "I can't imagine a finer way to consume some time."
Rias' shocked expression turned to a questioning look and demanded, "Why you want to take up time?"
"We decided to kill two birds with one stone, as the saying goes and thus lured your female friend out. Vali asked us to escort a certain VIP to your quaint diplomatic meeting."
"Apparently he had a couple of issues with tonight's get together," Kuroaka chuckled.
Kenny's eyes widened. "Oh no."
"What do you mean he's not here?" Azazel whispered to Karen. After Vishnu asked to meet Kenny, the other gods requested it too. However, when he didn't show up. The Governor-General called Karen over to ask where her brother was.
"I mean he and Rias disappeared, and so did Koneok," Karen clarified to her master. "I don't know where they are."
"Then we'll have to start the event without them," Sirzechs said, before stepping forward on the stage. Getting the attention of the Devils in the room. "Devils, Gods, Fallen Angels have seen the lessons of the past and have chosen to live together in peace. But, we all are now facing a common enemy. The Army of Darkness, born from the First Legion of Darkness, have chosen to fan the flames of war. To threaten our ways of life by reawaking Aku, the greatest evil the world has ever know. With this alliance, we will bring greater unity in our fight against the evil." He then turned to the three gods. "Lord Odin, Ra, and Vishna, if neither of you have any objections, then please sign the pact monument."
"Of course," Odin said.
"Let us end this evil," Ra said.
"Peace shall remain," Vishnu said.
The three gods then approached the mirror-like object to sign the pact. Odin placed his hand on the screen when...
"Objection!"
The new voice startled the crowd of guest and they looked around to see where it was coming from.
Odin frowned and looked over his shoulder before grumbled. "I'm surprised he waited this long. You arrogant fool."
A magical circle appeared and out of it came a handsome man with eyes like a delinquent. He had light blue hair that floated behind him with two small bangs. Loki also had a blue jewel on his forehead and yellow earrings. He was wearing a robe similar to Odin's except with slightly different ornate markings and was white.
"I am Loki, Prince of Asgard, Odinson, the Norse God of Mischief," Loki announced with a smirk. "Greetings."
Karen smirked and conjured two lightsticks and X-9 drew his pistols. "Sorry but if you ain't looking like Tom Hiddleston, then you're not my Loki," she joked as Azazel smirked too. Both the girl and he were bored and wanted some action. "So let's rumble, knock-off!"
Sirzechs placed a hand in front of her to stop her from doing anything reckless. "Lord Loki, you may be the God of Mischief, but that gives you no right to cause problems here," the Lucifer told the god.
"Seeing Odin, our great Alfather, mingling with lesser mythologies causes me to suffer indescribable torment, Sirzechs!" said Loki.
Ra summoned his Ankh and Vishnu summoned his bow and quiver. Rosswiesse placed her arm in front of Odin to protect the Alfather. But Odin motioned for her to let him handle it. "Leave, Loki," Odin said as Devil guard rushed out to stand against Loki. "If you return to Valhalla immediately, I'll forgive you for this public affront."
Loki, however, looked amused. "Really? You can shove your forgiveness!"
"Oh great, another man without manners!" Rossweisse said, ready for battle.
"If he chooses to sign an alliance with the other mythologies, it incredibly difficult for me to set Ragnarok into motion!"
"The lyrics are different, but the song sounds the same," Azazel grumbled.
Ra sighed in exaggeration and rubbed his temple. He then glared up at Loki and said, "Loki, I've known you to be childish and a nuisance for your father, but I didn't think you to be stupid enough to work for the Army of Darkness. You've made yourself the enemy of all of us!"
"Work for? No. Work with? Yes. Well, I admit the assault was my idea, but that was all Aku's followers wanted to help me. And Ra, I have a surprise for you," Loki said, before summoning forth a magical circle.
Suddenly a blue flash burst out and three black beings jumped out of the circle.
SLASH! BASH! SLASH! CUT!
The guards were all killed before the attackers landed on the ground.
Everyone was shocked and frightened by the sight of the beings. Ra was enraged.
The being standing in the middle of the room were three dog-like demons with black skin, golden heads, and glowing blue eyes, a trait that was shared with several other beings of divine origin. Their weapons resembled traditional weapons from ancient Egypt: one had a curved, sickle-like sword called a Khopesh, one had an Egyptian battle-ax, and the third had two, short clubs or rods, one in its right hand and one that was attached to its left bracer. The weapons glowed with magical blue flames.
"The Minions of Set!" Ra shouted.
One of the minion's blue eyes narrowed.
Freezing up, Rias and Kenny turned back to the direction of the party. "Something's gone wrong!" the redhead said with wide, shock eyes. "The council's under attack!"
Kuroka made a small giggle. After that, Kenny, Koneko, and Rias could feel the areas shift. They were surrounded by gray clouds and fog. They were trapped in a barrier.
"You like? It's a little barrier I put on the forest to keep us all trapped together for a bit," she said with a hand on her hip.
Bikou spun his staff over his head. "Okay, hero..." The staff extended and the monkey Yokai slammed the pole right down on where the heroes were standing. Rias and Koneko jumped out of the way, while Kenny raised his sword to parry the staff. Hitting away. Bikou then sideswiped the staff at him, making Kenny jump up to dodge it. "SHOW ME YOUR POWER!"
Rias shouted and shot her powers of destruction at Kuroka. However, the black-cat woman's body glowed blue for a second and blocked the attack.
After landing, Kenny narrowed his eyes in frustration seeing that they were stuck. He had to protect Rias and Koneko but also defeat the criminals. He had to think fast to get out of the situation they were now in. Before he jumped in to attack and kick-ass, Kenny felt a familiar presence flying overheard and a familiar voice. "Would you mind if I cut in?"
Kenny looked up to see Tanin flying overhead. "Tannin!"
"When I saw the familiar arch of energy crash into the mountain, I decided to check things out, only to find my student in some trouble. Seems like you attract all manner of trouble, huh?" Kenny sighed and turned back to the enemy. Doesn't he know it.
"The previous Dragon King? Now you got my attention," Bikou exclaimed with a grin, looking up at the sky.
"Go on ahead, monkey. You know you wanna," Kuroka said, staring up at the dragon too.
"Flying Nimbus!" Bikou then summoned a small grey cloud under his feet and then took off into the sky to fight Tannin. Tannin, however centuries of battle experience and training, easily dodged the attacks thrown at him by the Yokai, who used his extended staff. Tannin then fought back with his own attacks. Bikou, however, looked like he was having the time of his life. Laughing with excitement despite his body being slightly burnt.
Kenny watched the fighting for a moment, seeing that Tannin was holding back. After training and having seen his full power, he knew the dragon had the power to kill the monkey in a second. He then looked back to Kuroka and saw a bewildered smile on her face with a dark, ominous aura permeating from her whole body. Kenny sensing the killing intent from it. He could tell she really wanted Koneko back.
"The Monkey King and a dragon, they're gonna have a blast," said the black-cat woman before looking at Kenny and Rias. Looking at them with a predatory gaze. "Now then, are you going to hand over my baby sister or not?"
Kenny didn't respond with words but stood in a fighting stance.
"That a no? Fine. Guess I gotta kill ya."
Tannin looked down at the Devils and said, "Kids, I have a plan. While I slap this monkey around, you guys pound that pussy!" He and Karen would get along just great, thought Kenny. Seriously, that sounded like a bad joke his sister would've come up with. "Are you the Red Dragon and his master or not, samurai?!"
Kenny nodded and got ready to fight. Rias, on the other hand, was at a crossroads with her next decision. With Kenny, they could win against Kuroka. But she didn't want to fight her in front of Koneko.
"Just stop!" Koneko suddenly blurted out. She then walked forward, much to the shock and confusion of Rias and Kenny. "It's fine, I'll come with you."
"What?!" Kenny shouted with a glare.
"You don't get to do that," Rias said with a frown.
"But first you have to promise to let my friends leave unharmed," Koneko said, trying to negotiate with her evil sister.
Rias crossed her arms with a pissed-off expression. "No ma'am! You're my servant. Retainer of my household and my household, and my friend. Leaving me is not an option," she told the small girl.
However, Koneko shook her head as her body started to shake. "My sister's too strong. I know what she can do better than anyone," she said in fear for her friends.
Rias then surprised her. She came up to Koneko and hugged her from behind.
"Don't worry. To protect you, I'll fight her with everything I've got," Rias told the girl sweetly, and Koneko gasped in shock.
Kuroka scoffed with a smirk. "Oh please, I understand Shirone's true potential better than some bitch like you ever could. Now come here, babe. I'll show you how to kick ass, sage art style," she said, still smirking.
Koneko then started to cry. "No, I don't need that power. Not ever! I don't want my strength to come from other people's pain."
Kenny's anger increased and he couldn't hold it in anymore. "Do you know why we're born before our sisters, Kuroka," he asked, glaring at her. She looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "It's because we are the ones that look out for our siblings and protect them! You've lost the right to ask her to come back or to even call yourself your sister if you don't even love her even to do that!"
Kuroka's smirk was lost and she glared back at him.
After looking at Kenny for a moment in surprise, Rias held the white-haired girl tighter in her embrace and glared at Kuroka. "Kenny's right, Kuroka. Do you understand or even care how much you've hurt Koneko after you chose to drown in your own power and left her behind? When you ran away after murdering your master, this brave girl saw hell! When I first meet her, having feelings was a luxury she couldn't afford. Koneko had been abandoned by you, betrayed by the only person she thought she could trust. And when the other Devils despised her - tried bullying her into leaving, she was completely alone! You've lost the right to call yourself her sister and demand anything from her. That's the reason I've always tried to show her the finest things life has to offer. That's why I made her my Rook, to bring her a life where she's loved, and to treat more like a sister than you ever did! Because we treasure family in my house. And I wouldn't let you lay a single finger on her!"
Koneko, touched by Rias' words started to sob light. However, she tried stopping to make her true decision known to Kuroka. "...I'm going to stay, so leave Kuroka," she said in defiance. "I don't want to go with you, all right? My name isn't Shirone, it's Koneko Toujou, and I'm choosing to live my life with my master. And that's final!"
And with that, she declared her's and Kuroka's relationship end.
After hearing that, all was silent except for the sounds of Bikou and Tannin fighting. Kuroka had a brief showing of a bitter smile.
But there was something in her eyes that Kenny saw. It was like she was in pain and hurting at that fleeting moment when she heard Koneko's decision.
However, he was back on edge when Kuroka started to give a derisive laugh that seemed to freeze his body.
"Then, die."
Kuroka held up a finger and started to trace out kanji symbols in black before a thin mist-like substance sprung out from her and gradually reached the trio and covered the forest.
[It's poison!]
Kenny's eyes widened and turned around to tell the girls to cover their mouths, but it was too late. Rias knelt down next to him and Koneko also dropped to her knees while covering her mouth.
"My magic is wicked effective against Devils and Spirits and such. Shocking it doesn't work well on dragons though," Kuroka said with a smirk. Kenny turned to her with a glare "Don't worry, I've watered down the poison so they won't be killed anytime soon, plus it's a lot more fun to watch them die slowly."
Kenny growled, before smirk. "Well if that's the case, then mind if the dog plays with us?"
Kuroka's smirk dropped for a confused look. "What dog-"
Aoimoku jumped out of the vegetation he was hiding behind.
"RROOOOOOOOOAAAAAARRRRRR!" The wolf roared loud. Fangs out as he fell towards Kuroka.
Landing on her back, digging his claws into her back, and bitting down onto Kuroka's shoulder.
Kuroka's pupils shrank and screamed out in pain. "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
"GGGAAAAAHHH!"
Another guard screamed as he was sent flying away by the battle-ax Minion. The floor was soaked with blood and littered with the dead bodies of Devil, Angel, and Fallen Angel guards that tried to fight back against the Minions. Almost everyone who was a guest in the ballroom watched in horror when the creatures killed anyone that attacked. Cutting through their weapons and ripping the poor guards apart.
"GET BACK!" Ra shouted and shots from his eyes bright beams.
The beam hits one of the Minions and it looked like it was taking damage. It's body boiling and burning away. But when Ra stopped, the Minion's black body reverted back to its original shape. Growling in anger.
"What's the matter? Don't have your full power," Loki asked tauntingly and then snapped his fingers.
The Minions jumped and attacked the young Devils in the room.
"Everyone, be ready!" Sona shouted and shot a Water Serpent at the Minion with the two short clubs as it came right at her. The Minion bashed away the attack and raised its right club to bring down on her. Sona jumped out of the way when it came down and bashed the ground with its club, but before she could react, it thrust its other weapon into her stomach.
Sona caught up spit as she was sent flying back. Landing hard on the ground before the Minion with the sword ran up to her to decapitate the girl. But then...
CLASH!
Tsubaki's Naginata and Tomoe's sword blocked the Khopesh. The two girls struggled against the strength of the Minion.
Suddenly, the tongue of Saji's Sacred Gear wrapped around the Minion's neck. He tried to pull it back, but the Minion with the battle-ax cuts him across the back, making him yell out in pain, before the creature grabbed him and throw him up into the air.
It jumped after him and was about down on Saji when...
CLASH!
Xenovia jumped in and blocked the attack.
BASH!
But she was punched in the side as Saji fell to the ground. Getting out of the way when the Minion came back down. Soon the Phoenix Maids, Father Leonardo, X-9, and the rest of Rias' peerage tried to fight back against the Minions, but it was getting hard to even touch them, as the Minions were too powerful. They didn't anyone a chance to go on the offensive and had them constantly trying to defend themselves.
"GAH!" Karen yelled after getting hit in the head with a club and she was sent flying back. However, Gasper jumped and grabbed her.
When he set her down with Asia next to him, the Club Minion jumped onto a pillar and then launched itself at the young ones. Asia got in front of the two and pulled out her dagger, blocking an attack before being batted way by the other club.
She landed painfully on the ground but tried to get back up when a Minion rushed her.
ZAP!
But then Akeno's lightning hit it, sending the Minion flying towards Father Leonardo. The man used his Holy Sword and cut the Minion as it pasted him.
However, to his horror, the body put itself back together, and the Minion was still alive. It growled and attacked the Grand Exorcist.
BASH!
Akeno was punched in the face and was sent into a pillar. She groaned in pain only for less than a millisecond before gasping. The Minion with the battle-ax came rushing at her, and was about to cut her in two when suddenly...
ZAP!
A combination of light and lightning together strikes the Minion in the chest and sent it back. Creating a flash of light that blinded Akeno.
When her eyesight was regained, she saw her father standing in front of her. Holding an arm out in front of her in a protective way. "This girl is off-limits, pups!" He declared.
The Minion growled at the Fallen Angel as Loki looked amused. "Oh look, a hero," he said and the Battle-Ax Minion rushed Baraqiel to kill him and his daughter. Baraqiel charged another Holy Lighting.
Suddenly, with it swung its weapon at the two Fallen Angels, a teal barrier stopped the attack. Then the Minion was trapped in a magical raindrop-shaped enclosure.
The Khopesh Minion was about to attack Kiba when he was defending Tsubaki as she was on the floor, battered from the attack. The two traded blows when they were stopped by another raindrop magic barrier trapping the Minion.
Then Club Minion was trapped when it was fighting off the Phoenix Maids.
Loki gasped when he saw the Minions of Set getting caught, but then saw that he himself was getting trapped inside of a magical barrier. It was Vishnu, who was holding out four of his six hands out to the enemy. Glowing blue as he conjured the barriers. "That's quite enough," he said in a firm, but still peaceful tone.
"Vishnu!?" yelled Loki.
"I think you're going to need a timeout." Vishnu placed his two remaining hands together. Making the barriers disappear. "That will keep him trapped for a little while."
Baraqiel then turned to his daughter and asked with genuine concern, "Are you alright, Akeno?" However, Akeno turned her head away from him, trying to ignore his presence. Getting the message being sent, the father turned and walked away.
Then Akeno looked back to see him leave, her emotions mixed.
SLICE!
Aoimoku jumped off of Kuroka's back when Kenny yelled a battle cry and cuts the young woman in half.
But something wasn't right. That didn't feel solid. And sure enough, Kuroka's body vanished. "That was a good attack. I could almost feel that," said Kuroka somewhere that couldn't be seen. Her voice echoing throughout the entire forest. "But still useless."
Aoimoku barked, alerting Kenny to the presence of silhouettes being created after another within the mist, and all of them were the seductive Nekomata. All of them looked real and he couldn't tell them apart. Not even by aura.
"...If you can't read the flow of spirit, you can't deal with genjutsu used by skilled practitioners," Koneko said that while falling to all fours, still in pain. Kenny nodded and the looked to Aoimoku. With a nod of his head, the wolf disappeared until he was needed again.
He then turned to the Kuroka clone and transfer his sword to his gauntlet hand. "Alright, Ddraig, ready?" Kenny shouted, out to his partner. But he didn't get a reply. In fact, the Gear seemed to have lost its shine. "Ddraig, what's the matter?" he asked, slightly worried.
[This is the result of your training with Tannin. The Sacred Gear has entered an ambiguous state.]
'What are you talking about? This isn't the time for riddles!'
[What I'm saying its that you've reached a crossroad. It needs one more push, but I don't know if it'll be a normal power-up or Balance Breaker.]
'So I'm able to pick between the two options?'
[Yes. But let me tell you something. If you chose to power-up, you could never be able to attain the Balance Breaker.]
Kenny looked slightly conflicted expression on what to do. "How lame," Kuroka said with a smirk of glee. "The mighty Red Dragon Samurai will die without ever activating his Sacred Gear. He doesn't have the balls."
One of the Kuroka clones charged a ball of blue energy before launching it at Rias and Koneko.
Slice!
Kenny suddenly cuts the ball in two when he jumped in front of Rias and Koneko. The two halves flew past them and then exploded in the forest a few miles away behind them. "You're not touching these girls, you bitch!" He exclaimed, going into a fighting stance.
Kuroka smirked slightly. The handsome samurai was definitely suited for close combat but was strong enough to cut her attacks in half. He's strong. Kuroka narrowed her hazel eyes on the black-haired boy's position. The powerful aura of his dragon power that his body was releasing and the aura from Jack's Katana made her feel a little hot. Kuroka subtlely licked her lips before taking a step forward.
Suddenly she launched forward towards Kenny. Kenny was prepared and when Kuroka got close enough, he thrusts the Sword at her. But the agile cat jumped over the blade.
POW!
He was kicked in the face by Kuroka, sending him crashing through a few trees a few feet away.
"Kenny!" Rias and Koneko shouted in worry.
"Seems like you're not that strong after all. Why does Vali have a raging boner for this kid? How did you ever make Vali flee," asked Kuroka before looking to Rias and Koneko with a smirk. "Now then, it's time to go, Shirone-"
SSSSSSSSSHHHHHHIIIIIIIIINNNNNKKKKKKKK!
Another Red Dragon Slash was sent right at her at full speed. Instincts told Kuroka to get out of the way, so she flipped away from her sister and Rias. Her eyes widened by the sight of the arch of white energy rushing past her and continuing on before disappearing. Kuroka landed gracefully and looked annoyed when she saw that the attack cleared away much of the poison. But Rias and Koneko were still affected and couldn't move much.
"I'm not done yet!" Kuroka looked back to see Kenny glaring at her. His face was bruised slightly but he was fine and ready for action. It hurt, but it wasn't too bad. After training with Tannin, normal hits like that didn't bother him too much. "Was that supposed to hurt, kitty?" He asked with a smirk.
[Just try and reach Balance Breaker through this fight. Looks like you'll have to fall back on your other training and power.]
Kenny sighed and closed his eyes.
-(flashback)-
On the day before Kenny went back to the mountains to continue training with Tannin, he sat on his bed with the Sword unsheathed and laying in front of him. He was sitting with his legs crossed and his hands on his lap.
With eyes closed, he took a deep breath and let it out.
When he opened his eyes, he was inside his mind. Back in the autumn forest that he was in the night he went to free Rias from Riser. Nothing about it has changed. Kenny stood up and turned around.
Standing there was Samurai Jack.
"Kenny, it's been too long," said the old man with a small smile.
"Hello Jack, I wanted to talk to you," Kenny informed Jack. He then took a deep breath and then told him what he wanted. "I need you to help train me."
Jack looked a little confused and stroked his beard. "I do not understand. Are you not already training to be stronger?"
"I am, but I want to learn more. I want to know what made you the warrior you needed to be to fight Aku. The Army of Darkness is rising and I need to be stronger to protect my friends and family!" Kenny exclaimed in a pleading tone. Jack stared at him. "Please, Jack. Teach me everything."
Jack closed his eyes and lowed his head slightly. He then opened them again with a fierce scowl of determination. "Very well. When you dream, it could like spending days or a lifetime when in reality, only hours have passed. In that time before you return back from the former Dragon King's training to your love, I would have taught you everything I've learned before and during my travels," he told Kenny. "But remember, trust not what you see...but what you feel..."
-(Present)-
Kenny's eyes snapped open and he stared at Kuroka with determined eyes. He was going to kill Kuorka to protect Koneko if he had to. So, pushing off with his right foot, the samurai rushed Kuroka.
Kuroka's eyes widened at how fast he was coming, and only had a moment to do a split. Going under a swing at her head. She then tried to swipe his legs out from under him, but Kenny jumped over her legs. Kuroka then turned upside down with spinning around, legs still stretched out to kick him, but Kenny jumped back.
When Kuroka jumped back her feet, she was crouching like a cat and launched at Kenny. Swing her hand at him to claw him. Kenny blocked the attack with the Sword and the blade blocked her claws. She started to swing a fury of slashing at him, making Kenny back away as he blocked the attacks. However, some scratches got past his defense, getting clawed scratches on his arm and chest with some part of his clothes getting torn.
He stopped when his back hits a tree trunk, and he jumped over Kuroka when she rushed to jab him with her claws. She ended up stabbing into the wood and got her hand stuck.
As she tried to pull out her hand, Kenny rushed her. But one of the clones of Kuroka attacked him, making Kenny stop to cut it in a diagonal slash, and then had to fight off another clone.
Kuroka managed to pull her hand out of the tree and then charged another ball of blue energy. Four of her clones also joined her and summoned their own balls of energy.
After cutting down the clone he was fighting, Kenny turned his head to see the mature Nekomata and her clones preparing to attack him with a playful smirk. "Time to put you down for a nap," she said and fired the energy balls.
KA-BOOM!
The balls of energy exploded when they made contact. Kuroka smirked when she believed that it worked and Kenny was dead. But then she gasped when she looked up at the sky.
Kenny had jumped high into the air with his body covered in his dragon aura flaming out. During the training with Jack, Ddraig also came in his dreams to teach Kenny secrets about some new abilities. Like how if he clocked himself in his dragon power, it was impenetrable to almost any energy attacks, so it was time to try it out. Kenny changed another Red Dragon Slash and prepared to launch it at Kuroka.
Unbeknownst to him was that his aura was causing Kuroka to grow lustful. This powerful warrior would make a perfect mate.
Kenny yelled and swing the Sword down, sending the arch of energy at Kuroka and destroying the small meadow. Creating a dust cloud from the explosion. He landed as the cloud started to disperse, showing that Kuroka was nowhere to be found. Not only that, but the fight has taken them away from Rias and Koneko.
He couldn't see the cat woman, but he could sense her.
She was really close.
Then he felt hot air on the back of his neck
Eyes widened before Kenny swipe his sword when he turned around, only for the woman to jump away from him. Landing a few meters and only two steps from the shadows of a tree.
The sight of the woman now made Kenny blush when he noticed that the Red Dragon Slash didn't hurt her much, but damaged her clothes. There were cuts in the kimono that showed off her sexy legs and large breasts. There were some places that had cuts on her, making Kuroka have to somewhat savage look to her.
Kenny shook his head and reminded himself that she was his enemy. "I was sure that you wouldn't last for more than a minute, you've gone on longer than most males," she said in her seductive voice. Kuroka then gave him a playful wink. "I think I'll play with you a little more."
She then stepped back into the shadow of the tree. Kuroka held up a hand like she was a shinobi - palm facing off to the side, all fingers except the thumb pointed up, and the thumb on the palm. A second later, and Kuroka's entire body turned black and she blended into the shadows. Her hazel-gold eyes shining in the darkness for a moment, before even they disappeared.
Kenny's eyes narrowed. "I see. This is another one of your genjutsu. You've been trained to use the darkness of the shadow."
His eyes moved to the right to see Kuroka's black figure moving from tree to tree. Kenny let out a breath and powered down his aura and made his gauntlet disappear. He then reached into his white dress uniform and pulled out a white kimono. He was given this by Azazel to "present himself as the next samurai", but Kenny didn't wear it. He instead kept it on him for any situation at the party.
Kenny stabled the katana into the ground. He placed the kimono on the ground and stripe off his clothing except for his underwear. Giving Kuroka a view of his strong and muscular body. "I know your arts as well," he told Kuroka, before grabbing the kimono, turning it inside out, and slipped his arms into the sleeves. This is one of the many skills that Jack's trained him in. "But I have been trained to use the light!"
Kuroka continued jumping from tree to tree, as Kenny prepared himself for battle. So, she got behind him and crawled down the tree trunk.
When she got to the ground, Kenny turned around to face her. His attire now turned into a pure white ninja garb.
Kenny then made the same sign that Kuroka did. And with that, the entire area turned into black and white, with the light of the moon shining white light, and the shadows of the trees shading black darkness. And in the light, Kenny disappeared.
Kuroka lunged forward into the light and swiped her claws at Kenny.
But he wasn't there.
With wide eyes, she looked down and saw his shoes, what she was using to tell where he was, were just sitting there. With no Kenny wearing them. She looked around, realizing that the boy had even the playing field. "Where are you," she growled.
"Here."
Kuroka gasped and lashed out her right claws.
CLASH!
Blocking a slash from the katana.
Kenny continued to slash, chop, and swipe the blade at her, as he pushed Kuroka back into the forest. The forest itself had multiple spaces of white and black. His white silhouette appearing when he was in the shadows. The same was with Kuroka, who jumped away from Kenny and disappeared into the darkness. Leaving Kenny in a shadow for a moment.
He then jumped onto a white branch in the light. Kenny's scowling eyes scanned the surrounds for Kuroka. Knowing that she had the underhand in staying out of sight. But all it took for Kenny was for her to move to get a lock on her position.
Slowly standing up with both hands on the sword, Kenny waited as his body went into blackness.
Kuroka moving throw the light to attack him, but Kenny jumped away before she could get him.
Kenny landed in the darkness of the ground, before turning around the block another from Kuroka. The contact of her claws against his blade made sparks. This continued on, with the woman slashing at Kenny, and the boy blocking the attacks with his katana and brief sparks are made. Showing Kenny's masked face glaring at Kuroka's grinning smirk.
Kenny then jumped away and Kuroka ran after him.
Jumping to the ground, she stopped in the light and stared at where Kenny was. Waiting for her, Kenny raised up out of the white light shining between the trees and his upper body entire a black shade.
Overhead, the moon was still moving, changing where light and darkness was on the battlefield. And within a second, Kenny's body was invisible in the blackness, before jumping away onto a black branch. Kuroka followed him, launching herself at the boy. But Kenny over her, before she landed on the branch and the two traded a few hits.
Kenny then disappeared into the light, and Kuroka was left standing where she was. This special type of genjutsu was truly something else. If it was one person, they have the advantage, but two people using it with opposing colors was another matter. It made the use of Senjutsu and other Sage Arts abilities nearly impossible. She never learned why, figuring it was a waste of time. She could wonder how the Red Dragon Samurai knew it.
Kenny then jumped down to the floor, into the darkness, and the two warriors launched at each other.
But they went past one another. Kenny and Kuroka turned to look at one another, before the black-haired beauty jump at him with claws out. Kenny saw her coming in the light and blocked the attack. When Kuroka slashed at him again, he jumped up on a branch in the blackness, before jumping up into the light and disappearing.
That's when Kuroka realized what he was doing. He's disappearing into the treetops before coming down to attack. So, she followed him up. Climbing up the tree.
Then she pocked her head out at the top, she scanned around for the boy. Moving her feet carefully on the tree.
Suddenly she was kicked in the face and was sent falling off the tree with Kenny going after her.
He watched at Kuroka's body was falling down into the light. There was no escape she could make. it was over.
But then there was a black tree branch under Kuroka as she fell. She landed on it and jumped into the shadows as Kenny landed, avoiding the sword's chop.
Kenny looked around, trying to find Kuroka. But she was nowhere to be seen. Standing in the darkness that's moved to show his position, Kenny scanned the area carefully.
Kuroka's shining hazel eyes narrowed at Kenny. She made her move.
That's when Kenny felt the branch shake. His eyes widened.
He turned around quickly.
SLICE!
BLAST!
Simultaneous, Kenny's Katana cuts Kuroka across her stomach as she blasted him in the chest with her magic.
"GUH! Kenny yelled out as he fell off the branch and landed on the ground. His chest having a burn on it. Kuroka had back away in pain as red blood came from her injury, slamming back into the trunk of the tree, before falling off too. But she gracefully landed on the ground.
With the genjutu disrupted, the black and white disappeared and color returned to the world.
Grunting in pain, Kenny spits out some blood before standing back up again, summoning his Gear. But then he fell back on his knee.
Kuroka panted with some sweat on her face. She looked down at her wounded stomach, which she had her hands on. Taking a handoff to look at the blood. Kuroka then gave the blood staining her hand a long, slow lick. Smirking pleasantly when she saw the injury she inflicted on the samurai trying to get back up once more. "You're good, but not good enough," she said with amusement.
Panting while sweating, Kenny undid the mask around his face and glared at Kuroka. He then smirked between his pants. "I'm not dead yet...kitty..." he retorted, before firing up his dragon aura. With his energy returning to him, Kenny readied his sword to fight. "And I'm not dying tonight."
Kuroka then confused him by laughing. "Then I guess I should take you a little more serious," she said, and her wounds started to heal when a purple and black aura emanated from her body. Even her stomach wound healed completely. Leaving her with only her blood staining her skin and clothing.
She then disappeared when she moved faster than before.
Kenny was ready, however, as he closed his eyes, tapped into his dragon powers and used his training to detect and predict Kuroka's movement.
His eyes opened again.
STAB!
He ran the sword into Kuroka just below her left breast.
"GAH!" Kuroka spat out blood, before getting punched in the face by Kenny.
A few feet away, Rias and Koneko arrived at the scene after their bodies were rid of the poison. When they arrived, they watched Kenny standing in the middle of an opening, fighting off Kuroka as she used her speed to attack him and he countered her, cutting her up a few times. However, she did land a few hits on him.
Kenny roared as he swung the katana at Kuroka. But then she caught the blade with both of her hands. The two glared at one another as they struggled to push against each. But then she grinned and started storing up large amounts of power into her palms, charging up a large ball of energy. Kenny saw this and charged another Red Dragon Slash. Making Kuroka's hazel eye to widen.
KA-BOOM!
The result was a large explosion that knocked the two of them back. Both letting out a painful cry. Kenny landed on the ground with a thud and rolling to a halt. Kuroka's back was slammed against a tree before landing on the ground in a lump.
"Kenny!" Rias cried out as she ran over to her injured and exhausted boyfriend, bring him up to a seated position. Kenny's breath was haggard as he looked up at Rias with heavy eyes. He smiled weakly, before coughing up and clutched his chest in pain. "What's wrong!? Are you alright?!" Kenny nodded and panted her hand as Koneko turned to look at her older sister.
Kuroka was panting heavier than before as she stood up. Her clothing was gone. Destroyed by the explosion and leaving her completely naked. Groaning in pain, she got up on weak legs. Mentally cursing herself for not seeing that coming. With a deep breath, she straightened her posture and used her power to regain some of her lost energy. "I have to admit, I'm impressed. I kind of feel bad for Shirone, but for some wannabe Lancerlot loser, you live up to the stories," she said with a chuckle. "But it's not enough."
Kenny glared and stood back up on shaking legs. But he collapsed back on his knees, making Rias and Koneko worry. "She's right," Kenny said looking down at the ground. "Even all my power, I'm still too weak. I can't even beat her
Koneko then walked in front of him and placed her hands on Kenny's shoulders. Making him look up at her as she was softly crying. "Throughout history, most Red Dragon Emperor got obsessed with their powers and ended up going completely insane," the white-haired girl said, surprising Kenny. "It seems my sisters followed their lead. Sure they had power, but they lost control and once that happens it's too late. But you're not like them, Kenny. You're a total wimp compared to them." She then gave Kenny a gentle, caring smile that melted his heart. "But we're so like to have you, so please don't be like those other dragons. Continue to be our samurai."
Kenny looked at her with widened eyes. But then something clicked in his head. In all the times he's gained power in the past, he always had Rias and the Sword. Rias, the love of his life who he wants nothing more than to have a future with, and Jack's Katana, the blade of his family's past who have entrusted him with the future.
And he was going to defend the future!
He thanked Koneko by doing something that made her freeze. Kenny kissed her lightly on the head and smiled. "Thank you, Koneko." As the young girl blushed up a storm, Kenny stood up and walked in front of them. Going a few steps towards Kuroka.
Rias said, "Kenny, what're you doing?"
"What, you want another smacking," Kuroka taunted with a smirk.
Kenny's eyes narrowed. "Is it true that you went insane and killed your master," he asked. That sudden question caught every, especially Kuroka by surprise.
The black-cat woman placed a hand on her naked hip and put on her playful smile. "Why ask that if you already know the story? It was a small price to pay for power," she said.
"You're lying," Kenny suddenly said. That surprised Koneko, who was listening. Kuroka didn't show it, but she was also shocked. "I've seen the way you acted when Koneko chose to say with us. I don't know what happened, but right now that doesn't matter. I'm not going to let you take Koneko. You've hurt her, my girlfriend, and made your sister cry. And you're going to pay!"
Kenny lifted up his left hand with Jack's Katana in its grip and raised it up to the sky. Then the rumbling of thunder startled the girls. Even Tannin and Bikou started their fighting to see what was going on. This was no ordinary storm.
As Rias looked at the clouds, she gasped and remember this exact thing happening back when Kenny saved Asia. And just like before, the clouds moved aside to reveal the three giant blacksmiths. This time, however, they were monks with their eyes closed. All three had a hammer, and raised them to bring down.
When they swung down, they sent a bright white beam of light shooting down from the sky to Kenny. Engulfing him as all looked at him with wonder as gusts of wind blew everywhere from the light. Destroying the mist and the barrier Kuroka made. Within that column of light stood Kenny's figure, glowing red with his dragon aura. This level of power was even greater than before.
[Welsh Dragon! BALANCE BREAKER!]
"Balance Breaker! Boosted Gear Scale-Mail!" The light stopped, leaving Kenny in his samurai/dragon armor. But this time, two massive dragon wings sprouted out from his back. Allowing him to take flight in the air.
[You've finally mastered your Balance Breaker. Congratulations! I was afraid you were going to do something with Rias, but I'm glad that wasn't the case.]
Standing still, Kuroka stared at the power being displayed by the Red Dragon Samurai with wide eyes and her lust for him increasing. Enough to make her pussy to leak a little. She licked her lips and said, "Now things are getting interesting. Now say hello to my mix of sage and demon magic!" Kuroka summoned a purple magic circle that was actually in the shape of a hexagon with circles on the corners. From those circles, she charged senjutsu balls that started moving around to form a ring. "Try some!"
She sent the ring to Kenny.
KA-BOOM!
Landing a direct hit on him and it exploded. Kuroka smirked, thinking that it killed him.
But then the cloud of dust suddenly broke and...
Jack's Katana was pressed against Kuroka's neck.
Kuroka's eyes widened when Kenny appeared in front of him and stabbed the sword at her neck, but stopped short of it. The force of the attack destroyed the trees nearby and kicked up a cloud of dust.
The beautiful, naked woman stared at Kenny's glaring mask with wide eyes. Unable to look away.
"You will not come for us again. You will not touch her," he said in a low, threatening tone. Getting over her total shock, Kuroka glared at Kenny, but he pressed Jack's Katana against her neck more. "I'm only going to say this once to you. You follow Aku, just like so many other Devils. It's not going to matter if you're a woman or Koneko's sister, you're my enemy. I. Will. Kill you."
Kuroka jumped back. "Eat me, jerk!" She yelled, ready to continue fighting. But then, to her surprise, Bikou swooped in and catcher her. "What're you doing? The fight's going on back there-!"
You've gotten so excited that you lost your perception," he said.
At first, she was confused, but after a moment she realized what he meant. "Loki's not here," she said. "Why not?"
"Indeed. Pardon the pun, but we don't have time to monkey around!" Bikou said and flew up towards a magic circle that was the same as Kuroka's. They flew into it and disappeared.
Leaving Koneko staring at the sky. Still confused and emotionally conflicted.
"So then, you fought his accomplices in the forest," asked Sirzechs to his sister as Rias, Kenny, and Koneko stood in front of him and Grayfia. Upon returning to the ballroom, they were shocked to see that the room was trashed and Asia having to heal some of his friends. That's when Sirzechs filled them in on the attack by Loki and the Minions of Set.
"Yes, Bikou and Kuroka two," Rias told her brother.
The man then looked to Koneko. "And did they leave our Koneko unharmed?"
Rias looked down at the small girl, who was standing between her and Kenny. "She had a bit of shock, but she's fine," she said, as Koneko was looked down with a smile. "No surprise. Koneko is a member of my esteemed household after all."
"Then I made the right decision getting her to you," Sirzechs praised his sister, placing a hand on her shoulder. "You've become a true master over your household, Rias. I'm very proud."
Later on, the female members of Rias and Sona's peerage, including Karen and the Phoenix Maids were sitting in and around a large bathtub in one of many at the Gremory estate. Everyone's wounds were healed, and now they were trying to relax after fighting the Minions of Set.
"Well that's what I call a crazy day," Xenovia exclaimed with a smile, sitting on the edge of the tube. "After angry gods and unstoppable minions, it's nice to relax."
"And it was good to see Irina, it seems she's doing well," said Asia, standing in the tube.
Meanwhile, Tsubaki asked Sona, "are you already, milady?"
Sona, who was washing her arm, looked at her servants with a smile. "I'm fine everyone. I admit, though, those creatures were extremely powerful and I'm glad Vishnu stopped them before it got worst."
"That's unbelievably awful," Akeno said to Koneko, as the two of them sat next to each other on the edge. She looked down at the water with a sad look in her eyes, as Koneko stared blankly. "It can't be easy looking at your sister as an enemy."
Koneko then has a small smile on her face. "Like it or not, you erase family," she said.
Akeno looked away. "Yeah, don't I know."
"I don't know why she really did want she did, but I've decided not to focus on it. I'll focus on getting strong."
That made Akeno smile. "Alright! That's the positivity I like to here," she said cheerfully. But then it went away. Looking at her reflection in the water, Akeno could only stare at it as her mind was conflicted.
Could she really do the same?
Tsubasa turned to Karen and asked, "Say, where's Rias and Kenny?"
In a private bathtub that was used by Sirzechs and Grayfia, Kenny sighed as he sat down into the water. His arms spread out on the edge, and when Rias sat down next to him, the samurai wrapped his left arm around her neck. Pulling himself closer to have them as close as possible. "This is amazing," he said with a smile and eyes closed.
Rias, also with her eyes closed and a smile, nodded her head. "Indeed," she said, laying her head on her boyfriend's shoulder. A little bit ago she found him wandering around the halls trying to find the bathroom before she came and wanted to bath with him. As her boyfriend, Kenny agreed.
"Hey, do you mind if I ask you something?" Kenny asked.
His girlfriend looked up at him with a look of curiosity. "Go on?"
"How did you know that I was going after Koneko when I ran after her?"
To that, she smiled and placed a hand on his chest. "Because I know you, my love. Besides, it is my job to keep an eye on my servants."
Kenny stared are her for a moment before smiling and giving her a kiss on the head. "And that's why you're the best, princess. Through thick and thin, you're always looking out for us," he said. "How about tomorrow, I take you out to. It's been a while since we had a date."
Blushing brightly, Rias smiled. "Of course, I would love to." She Kenny by suddenly crawling on top of him and straddling his waist. Smiling at him in that seductive way that turned him on so much. "You know what else we haven't done in a long time?" she purred.
Kenny smirked in placed his hands on her hips as she pulled him into a passionate and lust-filled makeout session. Wanting to fuck his girlfriend like no tomorrow.
"Ah, ain't that sweat."
Both Rias and Kenny went wide-eyed mid-make out when they heard that familiar voice. They slowly looked to see Azazel leaning against the down way of the entrance with a smirk.
"Yo," he said with a casual grin.
Out of panic and a general instinct, Kenny moved Rias behind him as he turned to have his body shield his girlfriend's nudity. Rias lets go of Kenny to cover her breasts, blushing with embarrassment as she glared at the Fallen Angel. "Azazel, what the hell are you doing!?" Kenny yelled with flushed cheeks.
"I'm here to tell you something," the Governor-General said.
"Well whatever it is, can't it wait until tomorrow?!"
"I'm more than certain that your princess wouldn't be able to walk if we wait until tomorrow."
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?"
Azazel's smirk grew and he said, "I want you to gather the rest of your peerage, Rias, and have them ready for battle tomorrow. We'll be going to other factions to tell them about our plan of attack."
Rias raised an eyebrow. "What plan? What're you talking about?"
"I'll explain it when the rest are here," Azazel said, before turning around and walking away.
"Azazel, wait!" Kenny shouted, turning around and reaching out a hand. "What's going on? What are we going to do?"
Azazel stopped and turned his head to look over his shoulder at him. "It's it obvious?"
He was silent for a moment for dramatic effect.
"You're going to fight Loki."
Episode XXVIII
"Black and White"
Narrator: "On the next episode of The Red Dragon Samurai…."
Roseweisse: "It an honor to meet you, Kenny Kurosawa."
Ra: "There is still hope in destroying the creatures."
Rias: "You will pay for what you've done! I WILL TAKE YOU DOWN WITH ME!"
Narrator: "The Red Dragon Samurai. Updates coming soon."
Kenny: "Come on, bastards!"
Narrator: "Only on Fanfiction."
AN:
Well, that's Episode 28 and things really got interesting. Kenny fought Kuroka using his training and power to beat her. And the Minions of Set has finally appeared and will be in the battle against Loki. After two lackluster chapters with no action in them, I wanted to bring it back to action and Samurai Jack inspired battles with some bits of Primal style in it.
I've been wanting to bring the Minions into the story more than any other villain in Samurai Jack. Some people wanted other villains but come on, how could you not want the Minions in the story? But I couldn't just place them in any part of the story, so I waited until the gods came into the picture.
The fight between Kenny and Kuroka actually took inspiration from another DxD story that was sadly discontinued. I wanted the fight with Kuroka and Kenny to be longer and have some moments to show the results of his training. And also to show Kuroka actually becoming attracted to Kenny's power. Unlike how in the anime she just kind of decides to what to fuck with Issei. It's kind of out of the blue. But here, we see her becoming very attracted to his power. And then during the battle between Kenny and Kuroka, we see him and her fighting like how Jack and the Shinobi fought. I didn't want to do the shinobi, as it would have been a one-and-done thing and with Kuroka's powers, it seemed more reasonable to have her as the ninja.
I was going to do a sex scene, but I'm going to wait until the next Episode.
And for those of you that wanted character development, well, Kenny and Koneko got some. Season 3 of DxD is one that has most of the characters having their moment to develop, and Kenny will be there with them for support.
So we come to the end of this story's updating and by the look of things in the reviews, it's "Become ONE" that'll be next for updates. The next three will bring an end to the first season of Voltron.
