Later in the night back in Issei's room he and Asia were sitting on the bed as Rias was getting undressed as they were talking. "So what's up with Yumi?"

Rias turned around as they watched as her breasts jiggled from the quick motion "Do you remember that photo she was looking at?"

"The one with the sword?" He asked getting a nod from RIas "What about it?"

"Many years ago there was a project inside the Catholic Church with its goal to find find a user who can wield the Holy Sword Excalibur."

Asia tilted her head hearing that "I never heard of such a project."

"Not surprising, but Holy swords are the ultimate weapon against devils. Touching them burns us getting cut is massive damage to us, outright death to the weaker individuals. It's seen as the Ultimate weapon for those who believe in God and see us as an enemy." She dropped her skirt and panties as she sat down on Issei's right side "Excalibur is the most famous of Holy Swords even though there are many others out there, Japan has a few of them as well. But it's said that the sword chose the wielder."

"So if Yumi has a demon sword sacred gear then does the opposite exist? One that can create Holy swords?"

"Most likely, but they would be weak in comparison to the real thing. Most Holy swords were forged by human hands and blessed by God due to the wielder, others were made by alchemy and are just as good as the real thing."

Issei nodded hearing all of those as it was a crash course "Right so Longinus gear has the power to kill gods, Holy swords hate us. So can Yumi use said holy swords?"

"She can't, she was unable to adapt to them and during the project was seen as a defective product and disposed of." Rias was happy but having to think about the past she looked down as she felt sadness at that. "Because they failed to adapt to the holy swords everyone experimented on was killed."

"No that's not possible." Asia said shaking her head "That's not acceptable by those who serve god." She was in some shock hearing that the church would do such a thing as she looked like she was about to break down and cry.

"Not everything in this world is black and white Asia. We are called devils as we lie and get our way however we want, but humans are no different. People put on a face for one crowd but show another to others, this is a trait every creature shares. And the church is not immune to such acts." Rias paused for a moment "I found Yumi crawling through the snow almost dead in a trail of blood. When I reincarnated her she wanted revenge for what happened. But after all these years she hasn't let it go not even a sliver of it. And looking through the photo album only stirred it back up again. But for now, just watch her, something is bound to happen, and I fear it's going to be sooner rather than later knowing her." Looking over to Issei "What can you tell me about this person from the church you know."

Issei scratched his head at that "It was so long ago, they were the only people around here that were into the church. I thought the sword they had in the house was a prop, but it would make sense why we were told not to touch it."

"It's definitely a blessed blade, but I don't think it's one of the swords of legend. But it is a real holy sword, so the father is most likely the wielder of the sword. And to top it all off they moved out when you were young." Rias reached behind Issei putting her left hand behind him "Issei" SHe said as she turned to him.

"Yes?" He looked at her as a hand came behind him and pushed his head into her chest.

Asia however wasn't clever enough to pull something off like that as Rias wrapped her arm around his head "You have to think faster about it Asia." She pouted hearing that but grabbed ahold of his left hand and made sure she wrapped around his arm to claim some of Issei's real estate.

Sleep however was the best choice for them as Issei was sandwiched in between the two of them as his arms were wrapped around them getting a handful of ass as Rias and Asia slept. Issei however was staring up at the ceiling as he heard a voice. [So, how have you been?] His eyes darted around looking for the source of the voice [Inside your soul, well more or less in your head of sorts.] Issei went to open his mouth and speak [Ah, don't say anything. Speak inside of your head. No need to wake your girls, plus after watching you I'm willing to talk now.]

'Oh, well I guess that is convenient. The not having to speak part. Wait so does that mean…'

[Yes, I see everything you do. It seems your head is filled with stuff.]

'Hey, I'm at the age where I want to get my hands on the ladies.'

[And surprisingly outside of the two at your school, you seem to be doing quite well so far with having these two. A Dragon, Devil, and Succubus all rolled up into one.]

'That's not exactly what I want to talk about right now of all things.'

[Eh, I don't mind talking about the opposite sex. Plus considering what you are now you are bound to attract all kinds of people. You going to get plenty of women, but seeing as your this hybrid of sorts you're bound to get a few of the other half.]

'Come on I don't want to hear that.'

[I'll I'm saying is don't knock it till you try it. You are not my first host to have a harem, and defiantly not the first who would have the same sex in it. Anyways the Gremory Clan is quite affectionate to their servants, and you go one that adores the shit out of you, so you go an amazing choice right off the bat to start out with.]

'Yeah, Rias is more than I ever wanted. While I got you here you mentioned the White one last time you more or less yelled at me. Who or what is that?'

[Mmh yes the white dragon, Vanishing Dragon. Do you know that stuff that Black-haired girl tried grinding into your head? The stuff about the war long ago between the three factions.]

'New things aren't the best subjects for me.'

Ddraig chuckled at that [So I have seen. Anyways During that war, everyone took sides from Fairies to Humans, except the Dragons we didn't get evolved in it.]

'Why not?'

[Close your eyes] Ddraig said as he continued speaking [Nobody knows the real reason as to why Dragons didn't participate as a race. We are a race of free and selfish beings yet we love combat. Individuals sided with God and others with the Devils, but most of us didn't care. However, during the war, there were two stupid dragons that started a fight. These two were of the highest class of dragons that one could reach, only being eclipsed by the Dragon Gods. And these two dragons had powers that shadowed the Maou and rivaled God. These two dragons picked a fight wherever and whenever they wanted regardless of the battlefield.]

"So why did they fight?'

[Who knows, I know however that they did not care for the fact that the Three-way war got in the way of their battles. They acted like idiots and the Three factions teamed up on them and cut them to shreds. Both of their souls were sealed into Sacred Gears so they could fight over and over till the end of time.]

'One of those two was you want it?'

[Ah, yeah The white one was the other one. Seems you are more perceptive than you let on to be.]

'Listen, all I want is to become a High-Class Devil so I can have a super sexy Harem. One full of hot chicks and personal devil girls.'

Ddraig however dumbfounded hearing that [Well, uh that's a first. Usually, most people listen to that, and with the ability to tap into Dragon powers and they just want more power or they're terrified of it so none live a great life. But you just want women, I enjoy that life as a host for once.]

'Is that weird?'

[Yes it's weird, but not a bad decision. Know this, Strong foes will be attracted to you. Those who are in possession of the Dragon Emperors will always have those who want to fight them.] Ddraig knew Issei didn't want to hear this [But women come with the perks of the job. It's not uncommon for women to flock to you, which makes that Harem you want much easier.]

'Realy?'

[Yes, it's quite common for Emperors to have a harem, but if you focus on your combat skills and don't get too arrogant with them you can grow a powerful harem. You already have two of them in your arms and plenty of others around that could easily be interested.]

'Ahhh sweet that's one of the best things I've heard in a while. Thank you for that.'

[You are a weird one after all. Considering how many hosts I've had over the years this is the longest chat I've had in a long time or with any of my hosts.'

'Wait what?' Issei was surprised to hear that.

[Mhhh yes, most just want power and knowledge on what they are dealing with. Get some sleep we can speak more later.]

The following day after school however was another story. While Issei sacrificed his hand for the power of the Dragon in order to save Rias. It was not as simple as that, it wanted to mutate into a dragon's claw every so often. And today happens to be Akeno's day to deal with such power. Issei was sitting in one of the extra rooms in the clubhouse without a shirt and only in his boxers. The door opened up and Akeno walked in wearing a thin white robe, calling it a robe was generous as it was more of a thin cloth that well defined her outlines. While a ponytail was her staple with an orange ribbon she was lacking that letting her hair down. "All the preparations are done, are you ready?" She asked seeing Issei sitting there. There however was no answer from Issei as she saw him staring at her. "Is something wrong?"

"Nope, nothing at all." He answered with a strained voice "Just admiring the look."

"It's only traditional for rituals such as this." She got closer to Issei and he could see that there was no bra only two pointy nipples visible from under the cloth. "It helps transfer power increasing the efficiency of the ritual." Akeno knew damn well what she was doing as she sat down in front of him. "Are you ready for the ritual?" She asked him as she took hold of his hand seeing that it was mutating from human skin to Red Dragon scales. He nodded at that "Good" She said as she folded all but his index finger back "Sucking out the Dragon energy will return your arm to its original state." She said as she stuck his finger in her mouth. As she started working on his finger her spit accumulated on his finger as she made subjective noises as she bobbed her head up and down on his finger.

"Oh, you dirty girl." He said as she swirled his tongue around his finger while he could feel the strain in his boxers.

Akeno only smiled at all of that. She was a master of seduction as she knew how to play Issei. But her methods were working as the pain was fading away as his hand was returning to normal. She pulled his finger out and looked at him "You look so cute getting your finger sucked. And this is only a singular service I can provide you."

"So there are others? I could use another right soon."

Akeno was happy to hear that from him "Seeing you get up over and over again. And then showing up at the engagement party to fight for Rias made me aroused. Not only did you take her as your own but your declaration was wonderful." Akeno positioned his hand near her breasts tempting him as the two of them were close to begin "You know I do like you. But I feel that an affair would be best."

Issei raised an eyebrow at that "Oh? I'm interested."

The door to the room opened up as Rias was standing there seeing what was going on. Issei had a massive boner and Akeno almost had a hand on it from the looks of it without him knowing. "And just what are you doing now."

Akeno held up Issei's hand "All the Dragon power is gone." She tried sliding her hand away from his dick but Rias already knew full well.

"Right, and the tent he's pitching that can be seen from down Kyoto?"

Akeno looked down at it and faked surprise "Oh my you flatter me Issei."

Rias walked over to them and she looked at them. "Akeno if you want to have sex with my boyfriend already just do it. You know what Issei stand up." He followed orders and Rias reached over and grabbed his boxers and pulled them down letting his cock out. Rias' hand caressed his cock presenting it to Akeno.

Peer Pressure was a hell of a drug as she was all talk, time to see if she wanted to walk it. Even Issei was in on it as he inched forward to getting her. "Alright fine." Akeno said swatting Rias' hand away and taking it for herself. The first thing she noticed was the smell, it was the lack of one that she was expecting as there was some assistance getting into her mouth. Once that was over it seemed as if she was a natural.

This is Issei wasn't going to last long he was already half-cocked and now Akeno bobbing her head back and forth it was coming soon. Rias could see his right eye twitching "Having fun."

"Oh yeah," She stranded to say that much "Real…" His voice turned relaxed as he blew his load in her mouth "Sorry."

Akeno however pulled away with a mouth full of cum as she was working on swallowing it all. "Don't be" She said wiping the small bits out the side of her mouth away as she stood up. "It was quite thick, to think that you got Rias and Asia to have sex with you."

"I'm more surprised that he didn't have his way with you after that little temptation you gave him." Rias said to her best friend.

"I thought about it, but I figured it was a trap." Issei said to hear that from Rias.

Akeno and Rias however looked at each other more or less surprised at that "It wasn't a trap, but it's nice to know that you held back." Akeno smiled at that as she grabbed his hand and placed it between her legs. She let him touch her feeling that she wasn't wearing panties. But it was short as she pulled it out "Maybe later you can have me." Akeno smiled at Rias knowing full well that she was going to do it. "I do have a question, however." Akeno looked at Issei "Have you enjoyed your time wearing panties?"

Issei thought about that for a moment. "I'll have to get back to you on that one."

"Are you wearing them now?"

"She is yes." Issei nodded at that.

Akeno smiled at that as she looked at Rias "He gets more and more interesting by the day. Maybe we can go shopping for some new undergarments."

Issei however stepped in between the two girls as he wrapped an arm around them. "You know I would like that. Picking out some of my own, and even some for you two." Hands fell down grabbing their asses and getting a big squeeze.

After the club activities were done for the night however Issei and Asia were walking home together missing Rias for the first time in a while. "Did you make Rias mad?" Asia asked Issei as they were walking down the street.

"No? She seemed happy, maybe she had work to do?"

"Oh, I was hoping she wasn't mad at me."

Issei looked at her "And why would she be mad a you? If anything I would have done something dumb. You just impress…" The two of them stopped as deep in their bodies they felt a shiver that touched everything they could see it was only a few houses away from home. It was no different from when they were in the church, only now it was in their peaceful home.

The two of them made their way into the house and when they came into the living room they saw Issei's mom talking to two girls dressed in white cloaks over them. "Oh Issei, we were just talking about you."

"Yeah…" That was all he said seeing the two girls as Asia was relieved to see nothing was wrong. But the two girls however were still giving off uneasy vibes as around their necks they had crosses and were around their age. There was one with chestnut-colored twin tails and the other with short blue hair fit of a tomboy.

"Hello, Hyoudou Issei." The twin-tailed girl said as she waved at him with a smile.

"Hey Irina, it's been a while. Surprised you speak Japanese still."

She was happy to hear that as she clapped her hands together "You do remember me."

Miki looked over at the girl "See I told you he still remembers you."

"He probably thought I was a boy, everyone did as we were troublemakers. But you never know how reunions can go when you haven't seen each other for such a long time."

Issei sighed hearing that as she knew full well that they were devils. "You have no idea."

After a half hour of talking and Asia hiding away from the past, Rias came home and hugged the two of them "I'm so happy that the two of you are okay. You okay right nothing wrong they didn't hurt you?" Rias asked them frantically to see if they were okay.

"We are okay Rias" Asia said as Rias was hugging them.

"That's good to hear. I was in a meeting with Sona where she was telling me about the situation with the Exorcists coming to the town. Also that they were holding onto a holy sword."

Issei nodded "Yeah the blue haired girl had the big thing wrapped up in cloth with her."

Rias grabbed his head and shoved it into her chest as she wrapped her arms around him locking him there. "That's good to know." She could feel him breathing in and out as it went over her breasts.

The following day after school however there was a meeting Rias was sitting on the couch across from the two girls as behind her Issei, Asia, Akeno, Yumi, and Koneko were standing behind the couch.

"Recently the Holy Swords of Excalibur kept by the Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox Churches have been stolen." Irina said sitting across from them.

Issei was thinking about what she said but Rias spoke up before he could say anything. "Excalibur doesn't exist, well at least not anymore."

"Excalibur broke in the war long ago."

"Now it looks like this." The blue-haired girl pulled the cloth off the sword. It was a large sword with large round mini axes near the hilt. "This is Excalibur." They all felt chills as the blade was revealed. "Excalibur was broken into pieces long ago and then turned into Fragments through the power of alchemy. This is one of the seven swords. Excalibur Destruction. One of the seven and in the hands of the Catholic Church." She wrapped the sword back up as seals were applied to it.

Irina however had a band around her arm as they saw it light up and turn into a Katana "This is my sword Excalibur Mimic. I can shape it into whatever I want, Makes it easy to carry around. This is in possession of the Protestant Church."

"Irina" The blue hair girl called out "There's no need to tell them the ability of the Excaliburs."

"Oh, Xenovia" Irina pouted at that "We're trying to form a trustworthy relationship with them."

Yumi however while silent so far she was staring at the swords like she wanted to strangle the blades to death. "So what does your stolen Excaliburs have to do with the Far East? Your religion isn't exactly popular in this part of the world." Rias said getting the two girls back under control.

"The Catholic church was in possession of two Excaliburs including this one." Xenovia said as she tipped the sword "The Protestant has two and Orthodox has two as well. One of them has been missing since the last war. And each church has lost a sword and brought them to this town."

Rias didn't seem too happy to hear that. "So my territory is full of incidents. Yet you bring two more swords here to accelerate the problem that started outside of my territory. So who is responsible for the thefts of your swords?"

"The Grigori is responsible for the thefts."

Rias sighed hearing that from Xenovia. "The Holy swords were taken by the Fallen Angels? And your one hundred percent sure it was the Grigori and not a rogue individual? We devils don't have much of an interest in your swords."

"We know the main culprit is a leader of the Grigori Kokabiel."

"Kokabiel, a name from ancient times. Didn't expect to hear you say that name." Rias thought about it. "So it's an Individual who stole them. Why else would they hide here in my town? If it was the Grigori surely they would have gone back to his side of the underworld then."

"We sent priests, and exorcists to this town in secret but they kept getting killed." Rias shook her head at that "But our request… nay Our order is to not have any Devils intrude in the battle between us and the fallen angels for the Excalibers."

"Right…" Rias didn't look happy to hear that "So let me get this straight, you are coming to me and ordering me around and telling me not to deal with any supernatural-based problem that may lead to the death of citizens in my territory? Also, where is your letter from the Vatican, or have they forgotten how to talk to others in this day and age?"

"The Higher-ups don't trust devils or Fallen angels. We were given orders along the lines that if the Holy swords were taken from us then the Devils would be happy. And following that logic the Fallens would profit from such an encounter. That is why were are only warning you that if you form an alliance with Kokabiel we will eliminate you, even if you are the sister of the Maou."

Rias looked at Xenovia "You must be well connected to know that my Brother is a Maou. Second, you are lucky that you are still alive right now considering how you are speaking to me. It would be best to learn how to choose your words wisely. As for the Fallen Angel Kokabiel, we have nothing to gain from him. The Maou speaking to Azazel would be a better use of said time than what you have proposed."

"We won't ask for cooperation that would affect too much of the balance."

Rias thought about it for a moment "Whether you like it or not you will be receiving assistance. I can't let you run around this town with your swords looking to start a fight with a Fallen Angel recorded in the Bible. I take it there was a person from the Orthodox Church who was dispatched?"

Xenovia nodded at that "They have, but they were put on hold, a protection plan for the last Excalibur if we were to fail."

"So it's two people and you want to retrieve the Excalibur fragments from a Fallen Angel. Not just any Fallen Angel, but one recorded in the book of Enoch and known as a war monger? Are you asking for death?" Rias asked them as she was surprised to hear all of this from them.

"Yes"

"I have the same view as Irina, but I would like to avoid death if possible."

Rias only blinked hearing that from them. "You… So you came to Japan prepared to Die? Seems quite extreme but I guess I can't say this is a new line of thought."

"Don't speak ill of our beliefs Rias Gremory." Irina said to her.

"The Church has decided that it would be better to eliminate all Excaliburs rather than letting them be used as they are now. The minimum objective of getting them away from the Fallen Angels is to allow us to die. The only way to Fight an Excalibur is with an Excalibur."

Issei was thinking about that and something didn't set to right with him. Rias however looked at them "So it's two girls with Excaliburs looking to fight a Fallen Angel, I don't sense any sacred gears from you two. So do you have a secret weapon for this level of Confidence?"

Xenovia shrugged her shoulders at that "Maybe, that's something I will leave for you to think about." There was an awkward silence between them for a moment as they looked at each other and stood up. "We're going to take out leave now." As the two of them were walking away they looked over at Issei, mainly who was next to him as they saw Asia. "When we were at Issei Hyoudou's home I thought you looked familiar. You are the Witch Asia Argento no? A person who I never thought would be in a place like this."

Asia froze up as it was a painful past. "The Former Holy maiden now witch? The One said to have powers to heal devils and fallen angels? I heard she got exiled but to be here in Japan and a Devil of all things."

"I um" Asia tried to speak but nothing came out.

"But a Holy Maiden falling to the lowers of places Do you even believe in god still."

Asia went to open her mouth as Issei's hand wrapped around it stopping her from speaking "This is what bullies look like. It does not matter if she believes, only that she is living her fullest. Plus she is not your faction's problem anyways, not like they seemed to care what happened after the fact."

Xenovia stared at Issei "I can smell the belief on her." The cloth came off her Excalibur once again as she pointed it at Asia. "I can purify the witch here and now."

"Real Christian like of you." Issei was quick to shoot back at her. "Nobody helped her when she needed it the most. And yet you are blind to see what she can provide in return for a little bit of kindness. A friend goes a long way in life but it seems all of you were too blind to see that."

"Holy Maidens do not need Friends. Holy Maidens seek friendship when they are done with their duties. She lost the right to be a holy maiden from the start."

Issei was dumb-struck hearing that He smacked his forehead at that "Are you even human? No, you must be a soulless robot. Trained to be a good little girl and do exactly as told with that kind of thought logic."

"And just what are you to her?" Xenovia asked him unhappy that Issei was challenging her logic.

"I am her friend and family that she was looking for. Something that you lot seem to forget about. And unlike you, I will protect her."

"Is that… a challenge? Quite a big talk for a single devil." Xenovia looked at Rias "Seems as if you didn't educate him enough."

Rias sighed hearing that "You started the altercation, not him."

Yumi however stepped in front of them. "Fine, I will be your opponent then." She said to Xenovia.

They watched as a sword formed in her hand as she was giving off an aura that if looks could kill, that was it. "And just who are you?"

"I am your elder, deemed a failure by the church." She said as all around her demonic swords appeared out of the ground.

"Damn it Yumi, I told you swords aren't my kink."

They were soon outside as Xenovia and Irina were pulling off their cloaks showing off skintight black battle suits and showing off everything. Xenovia had already her sword ready for combat, and Irina had a Katana in her hand. Yumi however was across the way ready and waiting for combat.

The others however were looking on for what was about to happen. "Issei you know this is dumb right?" She asked making she he understood what was about to happen.

"You uh have seen my grades and the people I hang out with right?" He asked making sure she knew.

"Right, just be careful those are holy swords after all." Rias said as Akeno was setting up a barrier so they were not to be disturbed.

Yumi was another story as Xenovia was looking at her as she was laughing. "Your laughing at this?"

She breathed in hearing that "Everything I wanted is in front of me, to destroy those cursed blades. I've heard that the powers of a Dragon could gather things, but to see them this soon."

Xenovia took a closer look at the swords that were around Yumi. "Sword Birth, Possessor can create any demonic sword they can imagine. Now that I think about it, there was a subject that escaped disposal after the Holy Sword Project. It was you no?" Yumi didn't answer only her anger boiled over getting ready for a fight.

"Issei" He heard Irina call out to him. "I was shocked to see the boy I knew from so long ago now a devil."

He laughed at that "Oh man that rabbit hole gets much deeper. So do you want to fight Irina? I mean Yumi looks like she getting ready to blow her murder boner as it seems like it's been pent up for a while. And I'm kinda interested in seeing how that will go."

Irina shook her head at that "No this must be a trial from God. Something I must overcome myself."

Issei sighed hearing that as Irina looked to be lost in a delusion of her own. "Fine" [BOOST!] The Red Gauntlet appeared on his hand as the voice caught the two girls' attention.

They were shocked to see the Boosted Gear "Longinus" Irina said seeing the red gauntlet.

"The Boosted Gear of the Welsh Dragon. In such a faraway place, never thought It would be here of all things." Xenovia was amazed to see it.

Issei looked over at Rias "You think that would be overkill?"

"Don't look at me you got into this."

"Right Right Right." He said thinking about it as they could hear the sounds of metal clashing.

"Focusing on him will make you lose your focus on the here and now." Yumi said as she was crossing swords with Xenovia.

Irina raised her blade getting ready to attack. "Here I come Ise!" She said as she ran at him.

She was human but she was much faster than he had expected her to be. Slashing her sword around he had to dodge as a direct hit was going to cause massive damage to him. [BOOST!] They heard it once again as there was a glow around his left hand "Ddraig, I believe that should be enough for it." Issei heard a chuckle in his head [WELSH DRAGON BALANCE BREAKER] His body was soon wrapped in thick red armor with red gems around.

Irina tumbled over seeing Issei in his armor she dropped her sword seeing the armored figure over her. "I give up."

Issei, however, walked over to her, and with his index finger he pushed on her should "Boop you lose."

Koneko however looked at them "I thought he was going to use that on her."

"Use what?" Irina asked looking at Koneko.

"Issei can destroy the clothes of women he touches." Koneko glared at him. "Enemy of all women."

"Ise you pervert!" Irina shouted at him hearing such things.

"She's just mad." Issei tried to wave it off.

"Issei you're a pervert." Rias said stopping him dead in his tracks.

Akeno had other ideas "Pervert might be covering it up. I think he's the embodiment of lust and perversion, maybe a little of desire as well."

"Well don't blame me if you have wet panties then." He was quick to fire back at her. "Maybe you want to you know…"

"My childhood friend is a raging pervert. Dear Lord help me." Irina said as she put her hands together and started to pray.

"Eh, it could be worse."

"It is worse" Koneko was quick to strike at him again. Her words hurt more than her fist could ever do damage mind you, she could hit like a speeding locomotive.

Yumi however was quick to apologize for what Xenovia had just heard "Sorry you had to hear such a thing about him.

"Sexual Desires are such a thing of male Devils." Xenovia said as the two of them went back to swinging swords at each other.

Yumi however wasn't letting up her attacks as they saw flames spew from her blade torching the ground as it was soon followed by an icy mist that doused the flames. It was all in an attempt to do anything to Xenovia as Yumi utilized her Knightly abilities as moved at a speed faster than they could see. Xenovia, however, looked like she had dealt with this before as she was able to evade her attacks without moving too much. Yumi reappeared striking at Xenovia's defense but everyone else saw the metal of her sword impaled in the ground and heard the cracking of her blades.

Xenovia saw Yumi forge a new blade as she swung her massive Excalibur down at Yumi shattering her new blade with a clean swing. "My Excalibur is Destruction, there is nothing it can't destroy." Her blade hit the ground and the ground shook following the hit as the grass was thrown into the air along with all the dirt that accompanied it. As the contents of the small crater they were in rained down, it looked as if there was no way for Yumi to win against such power.

"Such power, so this is the power of the Excaliburs" Yumi said seeing how just a simple swing could cause such devastation. Her sword changed from one single-handed blade to one similar to Xenovia's

Xenoiva shook her head seeing that "That was the wrong decision. A larger blade to match mine isn't going to fix your flaws. You lack the strength to handle such a blade." She ran at Yumi as the two of them swung blades once again. Yet once again Yumi received the same result as Xenovia was able to destroy her much larger blade then she flipped her blade around so the pommel was upfront and quickly hit Yumi in the gut knocking her down to the ground. "It seems as if you have lost."

"Wait," Yumi said as she reached out with one hand and the other on her stomach.

Xenovia ignored her as she looked at Issei "Vanishing Dragon has already awakened."

"Mmh mmh mhh" Issei nodded hearing that "I kinda already had that feeling after getting the run down on how this all worked."

"You can't win in your current state."

Issei nodded once again hearing that "See now that's helpful."

"Issei"

He looked over at Akeno. "Oh right" He snapped his fingers as his armor disappeared. Once it did the barrier around them was let down so they could leave.

"Next time you want to fight, fight with a cool head." Xenovia said mainly poking at Yumi as the two of them gathered their stuff getting ready to leave.

As the two of them left Issei brought forth his book of wonders. "Think there's anything in here that could help us with that problem?"

"Doubt it." Rias said thinking of it.

"What's the worst that could happen a quick search would harm anything." Akeno wasn't wrong as you never know what you might find. Asia however was healing Yumi her physical injuries were easy to fix, but the mental ones were not something she could do.

"There's a fancy search in this book." Issei said looking at it. There was a digital interface for an analog device. "Let's search Holy." He punched in the four letters and the results came up.

Akeno was quick to look at them. "Glory Hole, Ass Hole, Anal Beads. Okay, then I guess you were right."

"I told you" Rias said shaking her head knowing that it was going to come up.

"What's a Glory Hole?" Asia asked as she was healing Yumi.

"Well, you see…" Issei said as Akeno slapped a hand over his mouth so he didn't say anything else.

"We can talk about that later." Akeno said not wanting to ruin her innocence too much as it was obvious to her that the two of them had already done the deed.

Rias however looked at her Knight "Yumi, I wont forgive you if you run away. You are the Knight of the Gremory Group. Being exiled will cause all of us trouble." She watched as Yumi got up "Wait I'm not.."

"I was able to leave because of them. I will not forget what they did for me and my demonic swords…" She said as she disappeared without a trace.

"Damn it." Rias said as she sounded mad her face put on another story as she looked like she was about to cry.

"Okay hear me out." Issei said thinking of an idea "I need some cash but I have an idea."

The following day Issei and Koneko were sitting at a table at one of the many cafes in town waiting for someone to appear. They saw Saji coming towards them "Alright why am I here, on our day off of all things." Saji said not looking to happy to be here.

"Cutting to the chase eh no small talk no shooting the shit? Alright then, I'm going to as Irina and Xenovia the two exorcists from earlier if Yumi can destroy some of the swords."

Saji was in awe hearing that as he blinked a few times "Nope, I'm out. I'm not dealing with that." He said as he was getting ready to walk away.

Koneko grabbed his arm making it so he couldn't leave as she was far stronger than he was. "we're going to help Yumi"

"Why me?" Saji cried out wondering why he was pulled into this chaos. "Im part of the Sitri Group. This is a problem for the Gremory Group."

"Oh come on what the harm in asking? It's not like it's going to break out into a fight. Not like that has already happened once." Issei shrugged saying that trying to brush it off.

"Nope nope nope Sona is strict about this, and that's with a capital S. Your Master may be kind and loving, but mine is Strict with a side of Strict."

Issei shook his head at that "Fine, just help us find them then you get out of here."

Koneko however was thinking about the plan once again. "It should work, but we have to find them first so we can talk."

"Fine but that's it," Saji said "After they are found I am out of here."

Looking at Koneko, Issei got up from his chair "You heard him, how hard can it be to find two exorcists in Japan."

After roaming around the town for about half an hour it didn't take long for them to find the two girls. And what they saw was another story. "Any charity on behalf of our Father in Heaven." They however were getting strange looks as it was two girls wearing white robes praying i mean begging for money.

Seeing their current misfortune they watched as Issei sent out some text to Saji. "I don't like this, it seems as if nobody shares our beliefs."

"Don't be like that Xenovia, We lost all the money we had so now we have to rely on charity for these people."

"We didn't lose any money, Irina, you spent it on that fake painting."

Issei was laughing hearing this from the two girls as it was getting ready to devolve into a fight between the two of them. "Are they idiots?" Koneko asked seeing how they were acting.

"Sure sounds like it." The two of them walked over to them as Issei cast a shadow over them. "You two done looking like idiots?" He asked them.

Xenovia looked up at them "Your following us."

"Kinda hard not to follow you, you stand out with your act. I however am ready to offer you a deal…" he smiled and looked down at them "Should you be willing to listen." In his hands, they saw a black card with gold lettering on it as it looked like it was made out of metal.

They understood quickly what it was as they were in a nearby restaurant as the two girls were chowing down on whatever they could inhale."We sold our souls to a devil." Irina said thinking about what they had just done.

"It's for the mission."

"Don't feel bad, I sold mine for Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll. So far I'm only missing the drugs." The two girls looked at him as if they didn't know whether he was serious or joking.

"That won't get it," Koneko said as she was digging into one of the large bowls of Ice Cream that would give any human a sugar overload making them instantly diabetic.

"So why did you two find us?" Xenovia asked the two of them.

"Well Koneko here has a sweet tooth and I owe her. But you two came here to retrieve the Excaliburs." Issei said pointing at the copious amounts of ice cream.

"We already told you that before."

Issei nodded at that from Xenoiva. "That was a statement, not a question. However, after what happened previously we want to help you destroy the Excaliburs."

The two of them stopped eating as they pondered the decision between the two of them. "It is possible to leave one sword for you to destroy. But you would have to keep your identities concealed as none of the higher-ups catch word of the event."

Issei and Koneko were expecting this to be much harder than they were currently negotiating. "Xenovia," Irina said looking at her "Even tho its Issei he still is a devil."

She sighed knowing that "Look Irina, truth be told, I don't want to die here. Retrieving three Excaliburs and fighting Kokabiel with only us is much."

"I know but…"

"No" Xenovia shook her head "Even our last resort has a thirty percent chance of working and that's if we destroy our Excaliburs."

"That's Suicide." Issei said hearing that.

"Self Sacrifice is how it was pitched to us."

"Right… same idea." Issei was even more confused now hearing that.

"You know what, I changed my mind, My Beliefs are flexible."

Irina however looked at Xenovia hearing that "You've been saying that for years now you're still weird."

"Yes, but living to fight another day in the name of god versus dying in a battle is a preferable trade-off." Xenovia looked at Issei "But not with a Devil, A Dragon however is another story. Church Leadership never said we couldn't ask for help from a Dragon." Irina soon understand where she was going with all of this. "I never thought I would meet the Sekiryuutei in the Far East. The Legend says that you can increase your power to the level of a Maou and with that power level shattering an Excalibur should be simple. So this must be God's plan after all."

Xenovia seemed almost joyfully hearing that "Your values are beyond weird. It's nonsense to think of such things… but they never said we couldn't do it."

"Weird is fine, it's the power of a Dragon, and it's in your childhood friend. Let's try it out."

Hearing that Issei pulled out his phone and tapped away at it. A few minutes later the booth they were at had been reshuffled around as Yumi was squished in the wall, Issei in the center, and Koneko on the opposite side. "I don't exactly like the idea of being given permission to destroy a sword."

"Cool your thong" Issei said to her. "Its that or honestly nothing."

"I'm not wearing a thong." Yumi said taking the word too literally.

"Issei" Irina hissed at him the thought of a skimpy undergarment was too much for her. She looked at Yumi "Do you hold a grudge on the Holy Sword Project, Church, and Excaliburs."

"I thought that was obvious." Yumi said glaring at her as her voice got low and angry.

"But that project showed results, it's why people like Xenovia and I can wield the Holy swords." Irina tried to reason with her but it was a flimsy at best argument.

"And? Your results were a bunch of kids that were gassed. The outcome that can wield those cursed blades means nothing to me." Yumi looked as if she was about ready to jump over the table and smack the shit out of Irina for even speaking in a positive way about them.

Issei nodded his head at that "She got a point, even so, this isn't the dark ages anymore why would you kill your test subjects? Even if they were failures just return them to the orphanage and poof. Who's going to believe a bunch of kids that they were experimented on to see if they could use magical swords."

"You would be surprised." Xenovia said hearing that "Aside from that, The Church however wasn't exactly happy that the project happened. It turns out it was a dark site project, and the one who was running the project was excommunicated on the charges of heresy. He teamed up with the Fallen Angels."

"What's the name of this person?"

"Valper Galilei" Yumi heard the name as she was now more than interested "Goes under the title of the Genocide Archbishop."

"So did he team up with the Fallen Angels as a whole faction or as with a singular person?" Issei asked hearing all of this.

"Broad Strokes, we knew he is working with them. If it's one or the whole faction has yet to be determined."

"Last night…" Yumi said getting their attention. "I was attacked by a person with what I believe is an Excalibur. He was wearing priest robes and probably killed all of your people." Shared information was a help for them for once. "That person is Freed Sellzen, Does that name sound familiar?"

"I see."

"Former exorcist of the Vatican, at age Thirteen he was racking up achievements, but the church found out that he was a psychopath, he just wants to kill everyone so they excommunicated him on charges of heresy."

Hearing that from Irina they couldn't help but be surprised "Seems as if your Charges of Heresy mean nothing if you do nothing about it. We had a run in with Freed a month or so ago? He was causing problems with the Fallen Angel Rayanare. Nice piece of ass, shit person."

"She killed you." Koneko said reminding him how much his statements were conflicting.

"Mmh yes." Issei nodded at that "That she did, I still stand by my point. Great body, not much else was going on for her."

"So it was Freed who has been killing our followers. We will make sure he meets his end this time around." Xenovia reached into a pocket of hers and pulled out a small pen and paper the size of a Post-it note. "If you find anything call this number." She said as she was writing on it.

"Great idea, I'll give mine as well."

"No need" Irina said as he pushed a button on her phone Issei's vibrated "Your mom already gave me your number."

He sighed hearing that "I can't say I'm surprised hearing that. She always did have a soft spot for you."

Xenovia slid the paper over to them "We will have to repay you for the meal some other time then, Sekiryuutei." The two of them got up and Irina waved at them as they left.

"Wonder why she called me Sekiryuutei and not Red Dragon Emperor." Issei said thinking of that oddball translation.

They sat in silence for a moment as waited for the Exorcists to leave the restaurant. After they did Yumi spoke up "Why did you do this?"

"Good question" Issei thought about it for a moment. "I've realized we're all in this for the long haul." He put his arm around her as it fell down and his hand rested on her lap. "And I want to be the only one that disappoints Rias. And having her be sad right now because of you isn't something I want."

"There's more isn't there?" Yumi said hearing all of that.

She knew better but she was going to poke it. "Why yes there is more." Issei said as his fingers grabbed her skirt and pulled it up as he got a finger onto her panties and moved it around. "You happen to be cute in a different way than Asia is. And you happen to fit the bill of the tomboy I want in my Harem. I want you to sit on my lap while we make out all day. But if you end up dyeing chasing this then we can't do that."

Koneko was quick to hit him "Pervert"

Issei rubbed where she hit him making the pain fade away. "That hurt." He looked over at her "But don't worry my little sugar fiend I am an equal opportunity pervert."

She hit him once again before she looked at Yumi. "If you're gone we would all be sad. And I don't want that for us. That's why we're going to help you."

Yumi deflated hearing that from Koneko as it was hard to tell her no. "Okay, fine, I give up. I'll work with you two. I have a name for my target now thanks to you two."

Issei smiled at that "Now we can just go beat up Freed again and you can break that Excalibur."

Yumi opened her legs slightly as she felt Issei's hand slide down further in as she quickly slammed them shut smashing his hand. "Don't you think you've had enough? Plus that's more of an Akeno thing."

"Caught with my hand in the cookie jar." He said smiling at that "It's more of an Asia thing if you want me to be truthful, I haven't got that far with Akeno not for the lack of trying mind you. But before you lecture me and whether should I or should not be doing this. I know I shouldn't be trying to finger right now but my other half wants me to take you home right now."

"Okay fine here." She reached under the table and grabbed his hand as she pulled her panties aside and put two of his fingers on her vagina and let her panties cover his fingers. "That's as much as I will give you, but no penetration. I understand the cards you have been dealt. Now listen to my cards. Growing up in the care of the church was fine but everything went downhill when the selection for the Holy Sword Project started. We were in a remote area where Day after Day they experimented on us to see what we could do. It was much different than the church as we were treated as numbers, just test subjects. Then the day came, and they told us that we believed we could wield Holy swords, but we were told that we were to be disposed of. We were tossed into a cold room as everyone was huddled together. Then the gas flooded in as we started to vomit blood and cried in pain. We prayed to God to help us get out of there. I was able to escape because one of the pipes broke and some of the boys found a way to break the wall. With that, I was able to escape as everyone was almost already dead. We never found God or someone who helped us. I was found by Rias crawling threw the snow mostly dead. God never came, So I have to accomplish my friend's regrets, if I don't then they would have died in vain murdered by the church, and nobody ever cared about them."

"I understand why your doing this. But just remember that we can help you in your times of need. You just need to ask for that help. You helped me, and I'm willing to help you." Issei said to her making sure she understood it all. It's what Yumi did when Issei joined them, she helped Issei when it came to his struggles with Asia, and then the training that followed. "Rias isn't allowing us to help exactly but she's letting me make it so you can solve your problems." He got close to her "I had fun today, with the snack." He pulled his hand out of her panties and pushed her face towards her and pushed a small kiss on her lips learning her to think about what just happened.
