A few days had passed; for the most part, everything was quiet and nothing from the exorcists was heard. Issei however was sitting in class as they were all talking. "Oi Issei." he heard as Motohama the glasses-wearing pervert friend of his called out to him. "You have been looking like something serious is on your mind."
"I bet it's about Rias or maybe Akeno's Oppai." Matusa said thinking about it.
Issei nodded at that "Yep, that's a daily dilemma for me. You nailed that one on the head. Akeno has more volume, but Rias has more depth to everything."
"Deep man… wait… you fucking touched them?" Matasuda had to do a double take on them.
"Bitch I have touched life, turns out she has a 58cm waist." Issei felt his cheek get pinched and then get pulled on as he looked at said target as it was Asia pulling on his face. "Hai" He said as his voice was distorted from her pulling.
He then felt a hand come over the back of his head "You monster, even Asia now. You have both of the school beauties and Asia. What's next you have the school Prince of Yumi as well along with the Mascott of Koneko."
They weren't far off as Issei was putting in the moves to get his hands on each girl, he did want a harem but also to feed off them as well. "We still on for the Karaoke and bowling trip?"
"Oh yeah, I got plenty of money." Issei said thinking about the money he had been getting from his devil jobs.
Issei however saw another girl come over as he put her arms around Asia as her brown braids were next to Asia. "Asia and I are coming. We even convinced Koneko to come."
He laughed hearing that "What did you do bribe her with candy? Should I call you the candy man? No sorry Candy woman."
Aika shook her head "Nope just asked her."
"Well color me surprised, I just had to buy her a massive banana split, like an easy gallon of ice cream she devoured with ease. That girl is a glutton how she isn't fat is a miracle."
Aika Kiryuu had other ideas as she looked down at Issei's crotch and saw her right eye twitch. "I see. Hey Asia…" She looked down at the girl "Would you mind if we share that for a time because having all that to yourself, I can help you."
"What are you blabbering about." Matsuda said seeing Kiryuu go crazy.
She held her hands out making a length and shape as she lifted her eyebrows a few times. "Oh yes" Issei pointed to the door "Second Floor girl's bathroom then the seventh stall?"
"Ooohhhhh sorry, the second story only has six stalls."
Issei nodded at that "That's fine we have some room in the club room then if that's what you want."
"What the hell are you two on about." Matsuda was confused.
"So she can measure dudes' dicks." Issei said as they instantly covered their crotches.
Kiryuu laughed at that "You two are so tiny anyways. Maybe lay off the porn?" She pointed at Matsuda and Motohama "How do you even play with those shrimps?" The two of them were furious as they didn't have a comeback.
Issei reached over and grabbed Asia out of Kiryuu's hands. "Keep your perverse thoughts of Asia to yourself. As for the rest go get a box of condoms and I'll take you to the club room."
"Hooooo" She said thinking about it with a smile on her face.
"Issei what the hell man." Matsuda shouted at him.
He looked back at them "Calm down, you two get worked up over the dumbest of things. Kiryuu is a lesbian… thinking about that seems to be a recurring theme in this school."
Afterschool was another story, once they were done with the club activities Yumi Issei and Koneko went to the park and met up with the two Exorcists and changed clothes into something different. Issei was dressed as a priest and the girls were as nuns all too similar to Asia's clothing she preferred. But the clothing was a ruse as they were walking around the town looking to see if somebody would take the bait.
They walked around in the darkness for over an hour as Issei had to hold back from touching some ass. "Something is near." Koneko said as she was looking around.
That's when they felt the chills of large amounts of Holy Energy. Yumi was quick to draw her sword as she swung it and met with the unknown source of energy. "Freed" Yumi said seeing who it was she was fighting with.
"Demonic sword girl, Oh look it's the Dragon. How are you two doing, no wait It's dead." Freed said to them as he started swinging his sword at Yumi.
Issei however summoned the Boosted gear as they heard it call out. [BOOST!] He ran at Yumi and placed his hand on her back right over her bra strap. [TRANSFER!] "Kick his ass seabass."
"Ah ah ahhhh" Freed Taunted her as her sword was similar to paper as he broke it" My Excalibur is much stronger."
Issei ran into the fray getting ready to hit Freed. "Sword Birth" Yumi said as blades popped out everywhere around them. Before Issei could hit Freed there was a clear path for Issei to get to Freed but lined with blades. So he grabbed one of the larger blades and swung it down at Freed. The blade shattered as he slammed it into the ground as Freed was who where to be seen.
Yumi and Freed had retaken up the fight as the two of them were heard clashing swords and Freed laughter filled the area. "Your shitty tricks aren't going to work on me, you shitty devil." From what they could see Freed's sword was vibrating "My Excalibur Rapidly is so faster than you. Maybe you could use its vibration between your legs."
"Oi!" Issei shouted at Freed. "Only I get to make dick jokes to Yumi."
Yumi shrugged it off as she kept making swords and swinging them at Freed and as one was destroyed she grabbed another and did it again and again and again. "JUST FUCKING DIE ALREADY."
"Freed" They heard an old gravely male voice.
"What do you want old man?" Freed said trying to focus on torturing Yumi.
"Valper Galilei" Xenovia said as she saw the man appear from the shadows.
Yumi was not happy hearing that name as not it had a face, let alone an old flabby body of an elderly man.
"Freed Selzan, Valper Galilei! " Xenovia called out to them pointing her Excalibur at them. "You will be cut down here in the name of God."
"Right," Valper didn't look too enthused hearing that from Xenovia. "Freed Just use the element and let's get out of here. There's more work to do."
"Right right, Kokabiel has more work for us." Freed said as his blade glowed white as he slashed away breaking the rest of the summoned blades Yumi had. He then reached into his pocket and threw down a bomb as it flashed a massive blinding light.
"After him" Xenovia shouted as Yumi followed the two exorcists chasing after the two of them.
When the light died down Issei and Koneko were standing there alone as they heard a voice they were not expecting. "So"
"Ah, shit." Issei said as he turned around seeing Rias, Akeno, and of all other people Sona Sitri with Tsubaki Shinra.
"I am curious as to what is happening." Sona said looking at them.
"Well Yumi is gone, so just when I think I tamed the murder boner. But it seems the idea of breaking an Excalibur isn't what she wants anymore."
"You're going to destroy an Excalibur" Sona asked as she pushed up her glasses.
"Me? No, but the Exorcists said they would let us destroy one of the blades. Something along the lines that it was a preferable strategy to accomplish their mission."
"And You just agreed to it?"
Issei shrugged his shoulders at that "Why not, Rias said it was cool. She even gave me a list of acceptable and unacceptable things. I looked it over and we haven't broken any of the rules yet."
Rias looked at Sona "I told him not to be an idiot."
"Freed Selzen is working with Valper Galilei and they work for Kokabiel." Koneko said not wanting to be on the bad side of anything to come.
"How long have you known this?" Rias asked them.
"I told you about Freed last night. As for everything else well right before you two got here." Issei told them.
"I don't like this." Sona said shaking her head.
"Yeah tell me about it, because for some reason I get the feeling that I'm going to be the one fighting Kokabiel because of my Longinus." That's when the brain cells started to click in his head. "Why are you two even here?" Issei raised an eyebrow at that as he looked at Akeno "I think Rias is cheating on me, with Sona of all things."
"Issei it's not like that" Rias tried to rid Issei of those thoughts.
Akeno however had another idea as she smiled hearing that "Yes can you believe it, the two of them were relaxing together in the bath. Together of all the things."
"Akeno" Rias hissed at her
Issei however was thinking about what he just heard as Akeno was having a field day. "I can see it now, Big and Red teasing the Small and Blue." He looked over at Akeno "Rias is more of a bottom, never took her for a top unless…" His eyes wandered over to Sona as he soon felt a sharp punch from Koneko. "Damn it Koneko, I told you over and over not to get jealous over that, I like big tits but I'm going to cup size discriminate."
"Now is not the time to be talking about that." Sona said trying to shift the topic elsewhere.
"No, it can't be." Issei said thinking to himself as he walked over to Sona. Looking at the girl Sona was always different from the rest of the girls. He leaned over and hugged Sona "It's Okay, I understand boob envy. Even my female form is the same as hers."
Sona lifted her right hand and smacked Issei over the top of his head "Cease your rambling."
Akeno laughed at it "Come on now Sona, he's not wrong."
Rias pulled on Issei's hair pulling him back to look at her. "So your cheating on me with Sona now?"
"Ah throwing it back at me." Issei smiled at that "You see I thought it would be a great idea."
"His brain seems to get him in trouble."Tsubaki said looking at the situation he was in. "Or lack of one."
"You know I'm starting to feel a little underappreciated here. Feeling like I'm about to be put in the corner for a timeout. " Akeno laughed at his train of thought "And yes I do have a brain."
"Sure you're not talking about a lower brain?" Akeno asked him as she wanted to see how far she could make this mess go.
"You leave him out of this. The upper brain has been doing the heavy lifting here, he's working out for those ridges. My lower brain was telling me to dress Yumi up as a nurse till this all passed over.
Rias however looked at Sona "What did I tell you?"
"I still don't like all of this." Sona said shaking her head.
"The part where I was trying to hit on you or the part where those two idiots are working with Kokabiel?"
"Both, mainly the later portion. I'm still wondering why he's trying to accomplish all of this."
"Uhhhh it seems obvious to me no?" Issei said as Rias let go of him. "Also it's nice to know that you're less annoyed that I tried to hit on you."
"Kokabiel wants war, there is no other reason to come here, we all figured that one out from the talk with the exorcists." Rias said knowing what was happening so far. "Also what were the damages on my card?"
"Around two thousand yen. That much money should keep them fed for a while so they find what they are looking for."
"So keep watching them for now. They seem to trust you far more than they did us." Sona gave her orders as all of this was bound to cause more action. Before she got ready to leave she had one more question. "You know what, I am curious." She focused on Issei's earlier antics "What would you say if I were to agree to such an outlandish idea that you proposed?"
"You uhh wanna go down that rabbit hole?" Issei wasn't too sure if he should entertain something like that from her of all people. And he went against his better judgment thinking of that "You know what fine. "A threesome with you and Rias would be something that I would have to start a diary for just so I could prove to myself that it even happened. But your not the kind of girl who wants that touch of another woman." He looked over at Tsubaki who was next to Sona "No offense I think that's you Tsubaki. It's something to do with that school." His attention moved back to Sona. "I would think you would want your virginity taken in a generic situation or maybe one where I'm under your desk with my head buried between your legs." He stepped closer to her "And your doing paperwork till you can't stand it and your body is driving you up a wall. But you don't want to give in to my actions as each stroke reaches further and further in lapping up every fold I can until it breaks you. Until you want me no beg me to take you and bend you over your desk and…" He reached to her face as he changed to his feminine form the much smoother hand slid across her face and the arm down her back. "And let me have my way with you. Even letting your desk get messy as we get on top of it in the classic missionary position."
Sona stared at him in horror, he knew something that nobody should have ever been able to know. "How"
"Did I know? You're a nerd, an easy idea would be the place you enjoy the most. And you like being in charge why else would you run for Student Counsel?"
"There's somebody else that wants me as well." Sona admitted
"My bet is on Saji."
Sona wasn't to surprised hear that "Yes that's correct."
"I had a feeling it was him. Are we done here, however? Because I doubt Yumi is going to answer her phone."
"Yes, we are done." Sona looked to her Queen "We will see what happens next in this game that we are playing." She said as the two of them disappeared leaving them alone.
Rias however was curious "What did you do to Sona?"
Issei turned around reverting to his male form. "Nothing." He got a glare from Rias "Okay fine, I may have read a slight part of her fantasy. I can't look too deep into it, but there was a desk. And I kind of just made it up from there on out."
"Sona wants to have sex on a desk…" Akeno thought about that "Never thought that would be her thing considering how she is. What about me?"
Issei shook his head "I think id rather figure that one out myself."
They separated ways as going home for the night when they made it home and took off their shoes they saw that Asia and Miki were in the kitchen working on Dinner. "Your back" Asia said as she came around the corner wearing an apron. Issei looked at it as if he knew what it was. "A friend in class told me that wearing nothing besides an apron was traditional in Japan. It's embarrassing but I will get used to it." Issei and Rias could see Miki trying to hold back her laughter hearing that coming from Asia. "It's a little breezy without my panties, Im not exactly used to it."
Issei reached over to Asia and hugged her making sure to get a hand full of her ass. "You know I don't mind if you don't sleep with panties. Makes it easy access for me. As for Aika, I'm going to fuck the shit out of her someday."
"Mother," Rias said as she walked over to Miki while stripping off her clothes "Would you happen to have one for me as well?"
"You bet your ass I did." She laughed hearing that "You didn't think I would leave you out now would I?"
Issei lifted Asia as he was groping her ass as she was hugging him. "You have such a cute little booty." He said as he had a hand on her cheek spreading her but apart.
Walking into the kitchen he saw Rias tying the apron on. "How do I look?" She asked as her face was red.
"Like a million bucks."
Miki however was smiling at the fact that not one but two girls were fighting for his attention. "At the rate you kids are going I might have my Grandchildren faster than you think."
Rias looked down hearing that "It's not that simple, genetics are not kind to us."
Miki put a hand on Rias's ass and she smacked it lightly getting her to flinch "Not for the lack of trying, trust me I know."
"I uh" Issei tried to spit it out "That was kinda hot and I have no clue why."
"Everyone has a kink." Miki said hearing that.
Issei set Asia down "Were you two working on dinner before we came home? Don't want to ruin anything here."
"No no, it was good timing. You brought another helper. You know what here." Miki reached down to her pants and unbuttoned and showed off a black shiny front portion of her underwear before she buttoned it back up. "Now go take their clothes upstairs. And no jacking off with Rias' panties." She looked at Rias "Unless she does that for you." Rias didn't want to answer that as she knew it wasn't the most embarrassing thing she had endured but it was up there. Miki flicked her hand sending Issei away. "Okay, here's…" Issei heard as took the close upstairs
After dinner and much later at night, however, it was a much different thing. "Hear me out here" Issei said as he and Rias were in the middle of the act she was pressed onto the wall and her arms and legs were wrapped around him as he humped away. "What would it take to get Sona Sitri in my camp?"
Rias was mostly focusing on the sex they were having but answered him nonetheless. "She's smart and thinks about things to an extreme. So you would need to find a way to get her that far."
"No no no" He said as he was biting her collar bone "I want you to help me get in her panties."
"I don't…want… to share." She spoke in timing with the humping.
"I know you don't, but you know that I have to have others. Akeno and Yumi are already in the works. Koneko I don't know yet, I think she likes me but also hates me at the same time."
"Akeno likes you, and for her to like a man is… different."
Issei smiled hearing that "That's good to know, I think she wants to use my ass tho."
"Will you let her if that's what she wants?"
"Fair trade is a fair trade." His right hand slid down her body and to their connection point "I've been reading my book a fair bit lately. And I think it's time I mark you." He touched the skin right above her vagina as she felt it. Rias felt a slight tingle as a pink heart appeared as followed by two dragon wings with some spikes on the side and a tail that wrapped around her clit and then back into inlaid into the heart with the spade-shaped tailed that his succubus form had.
"Oh, that felt different." She thought for a second "Or was that you cumming inside?"
He pulled himself from her hold and set her down so he could admire his work. She looked down at it as well "I think it looks good." He said as he crouched in front of her looking at his mark.
Rias however reached for Issei and pulled him back up to her level as she puckered up kissing him. The two of them fought for control of who was in charge and Rias was quite submissive but Issei was going to let her have this one. She took control as the tongues were swirling together they felt something that made her eyes shoot open. She looked around as she felt it coming from outside as did Issei. Asia woke up and the two of them ran over to the window Rias snapped her fingers as she was dressed in her uniform. Outside the window, they saw something they knew all too well. "Oh, it's Freed the shitty priest," Issei said seeing the white-haired freak.
"Ahhh did I ruin your fuck, you look like your in a bad mood. Doing great getting your virgin freak on." Freed said while gyrating his hips and sticking his tongue out like a rabid dog.
"Already got my fuck on, and I don't need advice from you. So what do you want shit for brains?" Issei said as the psychopath Rias was looking elsewhere as in the air above them she saw the source of the disturbance. In the air, a man was floating there in the darkness with ten black wings. Issei turned to look at Asia "Get dressed."
"This is our first meeting daughter of Gremory. The crimson hair is as red as the legends say Runas was. Reminds me of your brother, and makes me want to puke at the thought"
"Nice to meet you as well Kokabiel, one of the Leaders of the Fallen Angels. While my brother is Maou we keep politics out of it here. There's no use in that here."
Issei did the same as Rias as he ran outside now fully clothed. "I have a gift for you." Kokabiel said as out from behind him he pulled out a body as he tossed it at Issei.
Issei caught the body and he realized who it was. "Ah shit, Irina is injured. I don't know how bad it is." She was covered in blood and poorly breathing as most of her uniform was still intact. "The crotch section of her uniform is still intact if that accounts for anything."
"Yes well the ant came into my base and I welcomed her. The other two however were much slippery than this one was." Asia ran outside as she got to work on Irina as her wounds were slowly healing. "I don't care much for a talk with your brother, now if I were to say do something to you that was perverse that would get his attention would it not?"
"Just what do you want?" Rias wasn't having any of his shit.
"Your base, the school Kuoh Academy will start as my first stop on the train."
Rias wasn't happy to hear that "You know if you do that there will be a war between the three factions again."
"No shit, that's the point. I want war, this false peace has been boring as shit. But if I stole the Excaliburs Michael with have to join in. And starting in the base of the sisters of Maous then the Devils will join in. And after a long two-thousand-year standoff War will return." He looked down at Issei "The Red Dragon Emperor in the opening fight of the War might be an interesting warm-up. So Rias Gremory gather your fighters, war is starting, and I enjoy the chaos that it brings. You have thirty minutes to gather your forces we fight at the schoolyard." Kokabiel said as he disappeared, Freed followed him.
"Issei get ready we have work to do." Rias said looking at him.
Ten minutes later they assembled outside of the school as Sona met up with them. "Barrier has been constructed. We will hold it up so nothing happens to the surrounding areas. Try to keep it to a minimum if you can. If Kokabiel fights seriously then this region will be annihilated."
"Don't worry too much about it Sona, we will handle it from here on out."
"You know it's not too late. This monster is in a league well above all of us. You should call your brother."
Rias looked skeptical at Sona for "You also could have called your sister."
"I…no" Sona shook her head at that "Your brother loves you very much, he will come here."
"Don't worry I already made the call." Akeno said as Rias turned around.
"Akeno!"
"What?" She asked "That monster" There was a hiss in her words that Issei noticed her speaking like that for once "Is well beyond us. I'm sorry but I don't think Issei is going to bail us out of this one. Rias there's no problem is borrowing strength above us for a problem that is also above us." Rias deflated at that argument as she knew Akeno was right "See I knew you would understand." Akeno said with a smile on her face "His reinforcements will be here in an hour."
"One hour…" Rias said thinking "Fine we can hold him off for that long."
"Isn't an hour kinda long considering the threat we are dealing with?" Issei asked them. "I mean he is the strongest person in the underworld no? Why not just come here and deal with it?"
"The military like to do their own thing as a Satan can't just go to the battlefield." Sona told him "But you have one hour so make use of it in your defense." Sona looked to her peerage "You heard we have one hour to keep up the barrier that's it. So let's get to work." There was a collected yes shout from her team as they went get to work.
"Any word from Yumi?" Rias asked
Issei laughed hearing that "No, she's ignoring my albeit creepy-sounding texts about how we're all about to die over her rage boner."
"Rage boner?" Rias asked not sure what she just heard.
"Take it you're not fully versed in slang." Issei thought about it for a second "She isn't here and her goal is?"
"Right… just promote to Queen and let's get started." He did as instructed as they walked into the courtyard of the school.
What they saw was Valper Galilei working on a construct of light as it was floating there. Around it, two swords were floating next to it "What is that?" Issei asked not sure what it was.
"Four will become one making an all-new Excalibur." Valper answered him.
"And just how long will it take for you to merge the Excaliburs?" They heard Kokabiel from up above. His attitude was no different from his actions as he was sitting on a throne in the sky waiting for everything to play out.
"Soon, real soon"
"So be it." Kokabiel's attention was moved towards the newcomers to his makeshift area. "So then who is it? Sirzechs? Serafall? Both of them?"
Rias pointed up at him "We will be fighting you."
There was an explosion as the gym was sent flying into the air as the scraps rained down on them. "Lame, let's make it entertaining them."
[Scared?] Issei heard Ddraig.
'Dude I didn't even see him move his hand.'
[He is on a level far beyond the current you. He survived the war for a reason. Should the battle get too serious I will take over and deal with him.]
'Right, we're screwed then.'
"So for some entertainment then." Kokabiel snapped his fingers as the ground started to shake. The ground split open as out crawled a massive black dog with three heads as they each had sharp fangs and slobber everywhere.
"Cerberus." Rias said as she wasn't happy to see the mythical creature.
"It lives in the gateway to the underworld." Akeno informed him before he started asking questions.
"Ise back us up we will handle this."
The boosted gear appeared on his hand "Right." [BOOST!]
"How many times can you pass power to us?"
Issei had to think for a moment "5 times should be enough, but less if I need to use that."
"Okay then." Rias heard that as she started to think of what was happening. "So we use the transfers sparingly then. Akeno." Rias said as the two of them extended their wings and took to the skies.
Cerberus immediately spewed flames from one of its mouths as Akeno held her hands out as a powdered wind came from her hands as she froze the flames solid. Rias followed up with the tag team as she threw one of her black balls of destruction. It collided with the body and it tore a large portion of skin and fur off as the stomach was revealed as even that was sliced into.
"Your open." They heard as Koneko punched the beast in one of the heads making it stagger back for a moment.
"Ho ho, you kids are quite interesting to watch." Kokabiel laughed at them as they were fighting the Cerberus. "So how about another one."
The ground shook again as it opened up as yet another Cerberus climbed its way out. "Asia we need to move." Issei said as he ran over and grabbed the poor girl as they got out of the way of the monstrosity.
"Just keep generating power Issei" He heard Rias shout at them as they continued attacking the monsters.
"Yeah about that" He shouted as the new Cerberus was having a staring contest with him. They all heard the sound of flesh being torn apart as they looked at the one in front of Issei as they thought he killed it. But what saw a sword slicing through the central head of the Cerberus and down its body as it split in half.
"Seems I have arrived just in time." Issei and Asia saw Xenovia in front of them as she was hoisting her blade back up. The Cerberus started to flake away as if it was turned to ash. "Holy swords can turn creatures like this to dust."
"Well, it's good to see that you're here in the fight you wanted to do solo." Issei said to her as the gem on his gauntlet flashed a few times before going a solid green. "That quick?" Issei said thinking to himself.
[There's enough power for you to transfer to one of the girls. The downside is you are not strong enough yet to transfer 100% of the power so we're only getting around 70 to 80 percent transmission rate if you chose to give it to both of them.]
"Huh," Issei looked at the two in the sky. "It's time!" He reached up with his left hand as the two of them descended to him as they grabbed onto the gauntlet. [TRANSFER!]
An aura formed around the two of them as they glowed green as the transferred energy pulsed through them. "We can do this." Rias said feeling that her power had easily doubled from it. "Akeno cook him"
Hearing that Akeno held her palm up flat as she dropped it down pointing at the Cerberus. The Cerberus tried to move as out of the ground swords sprang up from the ground skewering the monster and holding it in place. "You can sit there." Yumi appeared from the other side of the school as Akeno's thunder hit it as it toppled over and the body was smoking from its skin cooking off.
Rias however was holding up a large amount of her power of destruction as it looked like a massive beach ball "Take this Kokabiel" Rias threw it at him as it flew threw the air.
Seeing the attack coming he reached out with just his right hand as it got close and backhanded the attack away as it broke apart into many pieces raining down onto the school. They saw that his hand was smoking from where it made contact "I see, the power of Rias Gremory amplified by the Red Dragon Emperor. Interesting indeed to see such power for your age."
"Were done here." Valper said as the swords merged into each other giving off a large amount of holy energy and shaking the area around them. The newly created blade gave off a blue and white aura as there was not a large magic circle on the floor that spanned most of the courtyard. "This town will no longer be a thing in twenty minutes. Dispelling it requires beating Kokabiel, so have fun."
"Freed" Kokabiel called out to the crazed man as he stepped out of the darkness.
"What's up."
"Take the Excalibur and make some entertainment."
Freed was giddy to hear such a thing. "Sweet, I get to use this Excalibur what an honor." He said as he grabbed hold of it "CHop Chop slice them up."
Seeing Freed twirl the blade around Xenovia looked at Yumi "If this cooperation is still valid then let's destroy that thing." She said seeing Freed get ready to use his newfound blade.
Yumi had a small chuckle hearing that "And this is okay?"
"Freed is touching that abomination. Whatever it is it's no longer a Holy sword, for all I care its fragments. Or it's Heresy depending on who you ask."
"Diluted little girl." Valper laughed at Xenovia hearing her little speech.
"Valper!" Yumi shouted getting her attention "I am a survivor of the Holy Sword project. And I continued living by becoming a devil. So where you tried to kill me once I will now kill you and return the favor."
"Your a long way from where you once were." Valper stroked his chin hearing that "What a misfortune, anyways I like Holy swords. Yet I can't wield them so I decided to find a way to use one. And I did all thanks to you and the others as we completed our tests."
"Completed? You murdered us you asshole."
"No no no you silly child. Some factors are needed to wield a holy sword. In many numbers, most subjects had the element needed to wield the swords, but not enough potency. And that's when it came together, what if we collected all of it and mashed it together."
"I understand now… that's what that thing was that they gave to the holy sword wielders." Xenovia gritted her teeth knowing what was happening.
"Yes, you understand then. We took out the Holy element and crystallized it." Valper reached into his pocket and he pulled out a white crystal structure with a blue hue in the center. "Just like this one. And with it, all research on Holy swords was improved. But the fools from the church banished me for heresy and seized my research."
"That's because you killed kids like an asshole." Issei shouted from the distance.
Valper scoffed at that "But I see that the project was a success anyways. Michael makes me look like a criminal while profiting off my results. I guess that proves that the Angel is just as human ordering the removal of the element to make more crystals."
"No seriously, I hope Yumi shoves a blade up your ass." Issei shouted again this time he had a hand come across the back of his head.
"You killed my friends just for some stupid element." Yumi was getting angry ready to kill Valper.
"Yes quite so, think about it this is the last container from back in that day. Freed ate the other three I had."
"That makes me special." Freed was smiling hearing that.
"Or an idiot, we still need to figure that one out."
"How many have you murdered for your greed?"
Valper looked at her hearing that. "Well if you put it like that then, here." He tossed the crystal to Yumi and she caught it. "Take it my research has gotten to the point where I no longer need an original as they can be mass-produced. With Kokabiel he's going to destroy all the legendary swords and start a war with Michael just to show him the power of results"
Yumi however was having a moment as she was holding onto the crystal. "I'm sorry." She said the area around her lit up with a soft blue light.
Watching what was happening "The powers of the battlefield made spirits within the orb manifest." Akeno said as they saw the light shifting into a human form as they huddled around her.
(It's okay) They heard a voice as Yumi broke down hearing something all too familiar to her yet gone for so long. (You are alive and that's what matters most) one by one the spirits wrapped their arms around her. (And knowing that is what matters the most.)
They got louder as they could hear singing that anybody in the church was familiar with. Asia understood what it was "That's one of the hymns." She said hearing the familiar tune.
The bodies of light started to glow as they hugged Yumi one by one and spoke. (Were were never alone.) (Always together through the elements) (And together we are fine) (You just have to accept the Holy Sword) (And our hearts) (Will be one) Each one faded into her until there was none left.
[That's what it looks like, the peak of sacred gears. When one enters a territory that dramatically changes the flow of this world. The Balance Breaker.]
Yumi got up with a new lease on life "Valper Galilei, as long as you live there will be those who will suffer the same fate as I had."
"Mmmh yes" Valper nodded "Such is the fate of progress, something you have yet to realize."
Yumi held her and out as a sword started to form "I am a sword for my comrades. And this sword will be reborn." They saw a black sword form as there were golden wrappings around it and inlaid on the flat of the blade were red runes which gave off a demonic presence but a white hue. She grabbed it holding it "Balance Breaker, Sword of the Betrayer." Yumi ran at Freed wasting no time.
"Oh, finally all that mushy crap is over." Freed said seeing that as he swung his sword at Yumi. She was faster than he expected as he was forced to block the incoming attack. "Hey, what the fuck" Freed was surprised as the Aura on the Excaliber was being whittled away and the strength drained away. "You sold me a defective sword asshole." The blade made arms as they stretched out while he jumped backward getting some space between them. Yumi was moving as the elements of Mimic and Rapidly worked together to make fast and multiple strikes failing to touch her. "WHY CANT THEY HIT HER!" He was getting pissed seeing how his attacks were failing.
Xenovia dropped her Excalibur as she held her hand out and began chanting. "Saint Peter. Saint Basil the Great. Saint-Denis. Holy-mother Mary. Please hear my voice." Around her hand space started to distort as she stuck her hand in there. When she reeled back it looked as if she was holding onto something as there was a golden handle "In the name of the Saints who reside with this blade, I release you! DURANDAL!" She hoisted up a large blue blade with golden trim on it as all attention was on her.
"Durandal?" Kokabiel was surprised to see such a blade.
"Your not an Excalibur wielder?" Valper was surprised to see such a blade.
Xenovia had to correct him "I am the wielder of Durandal. I was chosen to be a holder of Excaliber nothing more than that.' The blade came down as she put two hands on the grip and readied herself for combat.
"Impossible!" Valper was livid at what he was seeing "You can't artificially make it so the other swords have a wielder. The research isn't at that stage yet. It is impossible."
"Makes sense." Xenovia agreed with him "Even the Vatican hasn't gotten that far yet.
"THEN HOW!" Valper was beyond crazy as he was shouting at her.
"Simple, I'm the real deal." Letting go of one hand she pointed Durandal at Freed "Durandal ravages its target. It cuts anything it touches and destroys anything behind that. It doesn't even listen to me most of the time. So Freed, want to have to fight a real holy sword? Just try not to die from a single swing. Try and be useful with that heretical sword."
It felt like chains had been released as the aura around her was running wild with Holy energy. "That's not fair, now that's bullshit." Freed wasn't happy to see such a sword thinking he would get an easy win.
Xenovia however didn't waste any time as she ran at Freed slashing Durandal a single time. It took a second for everything to catch up as there was a crack of metal and then the ground shook as a large chunk of dirt was missing. "It seems as if it is just a broken sword. How unfortunate that it doesn't live up to the real thing."
"Valper what the fuck man. You did sell me a defect. This wasn't the legendary Excalibur that you said it was. It's in pieces now… no wait it was broken, to begin with." Freed had all but given up seeing that the one trick he had was gone.
Yumi however wasn't going to let a good opportunity go by as she rushed Freed and slashed her sword at him. There was a feeble attempt of a block with what was left of his sword, but she cut his arms, shoulder, and hands up making him drop what was left of it as if broke apart. Seeing the damage that Yumi caused put Valper into a panic. "No, they don't mix that's not possible."
"Valper Galilei" Yumi called out to him "Prepare yourself for what you have earned.'
"Holy and Demonic have mixed, it's not possible. Yet it's here right in front of me, there has to be a balance… no that's not…" Valper's eyes shot open as he fell to his knees as they saw blood spewing out as a light spear skewered him.
"You were too smart for your own good Valper. But you did get the right conclusion. Your little project was just some entertainment for me before I bring about the end." Kokabiel said before he started laughing. "You know what, Red Dragon gather as much power as you can and transfer it to whoever you want." Kokabiel flicked his hand "Get to it."
Rias was not so happy to hear that "Are you trying to give us a chance? Don't mess around."
Kokabiel kept laughing at Rias "It's funny that you think you have a chance. You are the one messing around playing in the adult's area." They all felt his gaze piercing them as if it was a stare from death itself.
"Ise." Rias said not bothering to look at him.
"Are we doing that?" He asked wondering how it was going to work.
"Yes." She reached back and grabbed his hand interlocking fingers with him.
[BOOST!] They heard it go off eleven more times as they waited a few minutes for it fully power up.
"Are you ready?" Issei asked Rias.
"Yes." Rias said confirming it. Issei held his hand up in the air as a green glow emitted from his hand. [TRANSFER!]
The power surge immediately hit her as her hair was thrown up in the air and her clothes swayed from the energy swirling around. Issei was tempted to look behind at her skirt as a free look at her ass was a free look but now wasn't exactly the best time.
'Hey, Ddraig can you boost silently from here on out?'
[That's no fun after all, but considering what you want to do, I can oblige it for a time.]
"Well look at that Demonic power. You sure are giving off the power of an ultimate-class devil right now. It seems as if you do have talent after all." He flicked his fingers taunting her to attack.
Rias formed a ball of her Power of Destruction this time it was much more condensed as she hurled it at Kokabiel. It zipped up to Kokabiel this time he put both hands forwards as the attack smashed into his hands. It kept rotating and grinding on his hands as he held it back while there was a coating of Holy energy to keep his hands from tearing apart.
They could see that her attack was losing steam so Akeno took the first steps as she took the air and conjured forth more of her thunder at Kokabiel. As it fell down at it Kokabiel's wing flapped taking the bolt and dissipating it. "Funny for you to inherit the power of Barakiel to stand against me."
"Do not talk about him as we are the same." Akeno yelled at him as if it was a poisonous subject for her.
"Yet here you are a devil you could have been so much more. Rias Gremory you have a weird taste in servants just like your bother, a remnant of the Holy Sword Project, the Daughter of Barakiel, and even the Red Dragon Emperor."
"I will not forgive you for insulting my brother or my family."
"Then do it, Kill me like you think you can." He taunted her "If you can't do that then your reputation will be nothing till the end of time."
Yumi and Xenovia looked at each other as they seemed to catch onto what was happening as the two of them made their move to Kokabiel. Yumi was up first as she swung her new sword. Kokabiel took a hand off Rias' attack and formed a light spear as he blocked each one of Yumi's strikes. Xenovia followed up with the heavy attack next as he shoved what was lefts of Rias' attack into the ground and open-palmed the air creating a shockwave stopping her dead in her tracks. As she floated there for a moment he made a swift kick with his right leg hitting her in the gut and sending her tumbling across the ground like a rag doll. "You still have much to learn about Durandal girl. I fought the last wielder in the world wars for fun. You are nothing compared to him.
Yumi went back saying that there was now an opening as she went back on the assault "I will eliminate you with my Holy Demonic sword."
Kokabiel however was blocking her attacks with his little light spear "Your attacks are quite impressive. But you can't defeat me at the rate you're going." He conjured another light spear as Xenovia rejoined the fight as he was blocking the combined attacks as well.
Koneko took her first shot at Kokabiel as she got behind and went for a clean punch to the back of his head. She however received a hit from his wing that negated her movement and then the second flap sent her flying into the ground towards Asia. "This can't be all you have. This is all the fight you have after your masters left you."
There was an eerie silence after his words. "What are you talking about?" Rias asked not sure what he was on about.
Laugher filled the arena "That's right I forgot that you kids don't know. It's been so long that we've kept the truth hidden from the peons. How about this then." They watched as a smile crossed his face from pointy ear to pointy ear "Back in the war, the Maou died as did God." Everyone was hit by a truckload of bricks hearing that as they stopped "We kept that little secret from you and it looks like it already broke you. Humans are incomplete, they can't be controlled and their hearts tell them to do anything other than orders. WE Fallen were no different and the Devils didn't want anything to do with him as well. But we all agreed to keep our mouths shut about that little secret from the masses. Only so many people know about it even that fool Valper figured it out as he died."
'LIES!" Xenovia shouted hearing that as her legs were shaking "Nothing… but… lies."
"Lies you say? Says the believer who prays all the time. How's that going for you?" He goaded Xenovia.
"But the love of God is given to us." Asia said as she was on the ground having a breakdown trying to keep together.
"Ah yes, God's so-called Love. There is none, no divine protection from him. He's dead, Michael is doing as well as he can but well he's no god. That would be funny to see him fall because of that. Or Gabriel but she might have been programmed not to be able to fall. Anyways there's a system that he maintained for all the blessings and prayers. And once Michael took hold of it after the Old man's death, well it never worked so well. You can only do so much with something you don't exactly understand or have the power to use. That's why Exorcisms are nothing like how they used to be, and why such a thing as a Holy Demonic sword can exist in this world. When two things are dead something new can emerge from it." Asia broke down and was crying and there was no stopping it at this point. "You see I will have my war. I'd been blue balled for two thousand years when Azazel pulled out. I will show Michael and Sirzechs that we FALLEN are the superior beings."
Issei walked towards Kokabiel "You know I've heard enough."
"Odd, you're not affected by the truth of this word?" Kokabiel said seeing how Issei was the only one not questioning himself.
"Help's that I never believed in religion, also Christianity isn't a big thing out here. But if you get to have your way then I lose all my friends and my chances at building my Harem."
"Harem?"
"Harem King" Issei corrected him "I feel like I need a suit when I say that."
"Suits are easy to get, but if you come with me then we can go everywhere and get girls for a harem." Kokabiel was quick to flaunt that one thing over Issei.
"Realy?" Issei asked sounding somewhat disappointed in that "But isn't just picking up anybody kinda boring? No connection no nothing just come over here and let's fuck. Where's the fun in that?"
Kokabiel was somewhat dumbstruck hearing that "You're a retard you know that."
"Ha," They heard from Issei. "My mommy says I'm a good boy. A bit weird but still a good boy. But when I'm done here I'm going to go home and have some fun with Rias' breasts"
"Ise!" She shouted at him as that was not a topic she wanted to talk about.
"Yeah, he's retarded." Kokabiel said seeing Issei there. The ground shook as Issei let out some of the power he had been storing "Oh great now I have seen everything. The Red Dragon is getting a power-up thinking about nipples.
Issei ran towards Kokabiel as he put up a guard not knowing what to was going to happen. [WELSH DRAGON BALANCE BREAKER] He was shrouded in a red light as a red streak of light rushed at Kokabiel he got up close and swung up with his right fist hitting Kokabiel "Shoryuken" It was a quick uppercut that knocked Kokabiel into the air.
"Now that is interesting." They heard a new voice coming from above them and they all looked up to see what matched the voice. There was a flash of light as the barrier around the school broke and fell on them like massive glass shards. What was left was an armor that looked familiar to the one Issei had on as it was silver and blue and slimmer around the body.
"Vanishing Dragon" Kokabiel said wiping his face as he understand who it was. "Annoying brat already in the Balance breaker. Was it because of Red or the other red?" Kokabiel goaded the new person. The taunt didn't last long as there was blood flying around as part of Kokabiel's wing was missing. "My wing!"
The wing was tossed to the side as wing separated into nothing but black feathers. "Without wings, you have no need to fly so you can walk on the ground."
"IF you oppose me then I will deal with you myself." Kokabiel held his right hand out as he formed a light spear and then it ramped up in size as it was towering over him.
"How sad." A hand was held out as they heard a call out {Divide!} They watched Kokabiels spear go from the size of a blimp to a small dog. "As the Red Dragon can double his power I can cut yours in half. To the point where you're weaker than a regular human. You know what." There was a streak as it hit Kokabiel crushing him into the ground {Divide!} "What's the matter? Losing your strength?" {Divide!} They watched as a foot came down onto his hand and bones cracked. "Three Divives and you're weak enough to be killed by these kids. How pathetic of you Kokabiel."
"You wh…"
A foot reared back and kicked Kokabiel in the dick "Azazel asked me to bring your dumb ass back as well." Looking around "Valper is dead, at least I can take Freed with me."
[Are you going to Ignore me White one?] Ddraig spoke so everyone could hear as most were not privy to Ddraig's voice.
{Ignore no, I see your host as at that level.} They heard the two dragons speaking to each other as no one dared interrupt them. {We have work to do, and fighting you does sound interesting. It seems like your host isn't interested.}
[Ha, he would rather do other things than fight.]
{It's not always bad having fun by ourselves.} The silver armored figure picked up Kokabiel and flew over to Freed and grabbed him "Pain in my ass coming out here for this jackass." They heard grumbling and then took off into the sky leaving the threat neutralized and gone.
Now that the fighting was over Issei dropped his armor as he was tired from using it as he felt weak. But he walked over to Yumi as she was off in her own world. Seeing that Issei tapped on her head bringing her back to the real world "So, Holy Demonic sword, sounds fancy."
"Oh um," Yumi held her sword up showing it to him. "Issei I…"
Issei took to the sword from her hands. "Listen let's skip the complicated words right now. You know I'm not good at that. I've already told you what I want and now that your in the right frame I trust we can do it?"
"Umm yeah."
Issei smiled at that "Good to hear." He rotated Yumi so she was facing Rias and smacked her on the ass. "You have something else to do."
Yumi walked over to the rest of the group and stood in front of Rias. "Rias… everyone I'm sorry. I don't know how to apologize for betraying you all."
Rias reached up and touched Yumi's face "You returned to me and that is enough. Just don't waste what you have learned here tonight." Rias smiled letting her know that it was alright.
"Yes mam, I am your Knight after all. So I will resume that responsibility."
Two days later after they had time to unwind from what was the hell they just experienced they were all sitting in the clubroom and there was an extra person there. "Hello, Sekiryuutei." Blue hair with a green stripe wearing the Kuoh Academy girl's uniform.
"Okay, so why is Xenovia here?" Issei asked, "No wait why is she dressed in the girl's uniform."
A pair of black leathery wings shot out of her back shocking Issei and Asia. "I found out that God is dead and thus was Excommunicated from the church. Then I received an offer to become a knight from Rias Gremory. I still have Durandal and I'm going to school here so that will be fun." She breathed in "So let's get along Ise."
They watched his body shake hearing that "Oh fuck that was creepy as hell, please don't do that again."
"But I copied Irina." Xenovia was confused as to why it didn't work as well.
"It's because you copied that bubbly girl."
"Ise before you ask. A knight piece for the ability to use Durandala is more than a fair enough trade. Brings in a knight with plenty of power. Also, I already told her about your little secret."
"Oh great." Issei rolled his eyes.
"Don't worry it was after she became a devil, I'm not going to do something drastic."
"Speaking of the bottle of bubbles, what happened to Irina?"
"Irina has returned to the Vatican with Valpir's corpse and the Excalibur fragments and Excalibur Destruction. She still has a mission to complete so they can reforge the blades into new ones. I kept Durandal because it chose me and nobody else can use it. She however is the lucky one in all of this as she is a devout believer and it might have broken her."
"Don't worry too much" Rias said to Xenovia "The Church has made contact with the Maou to talk about the incident that happened. They said that they wanted to make contact because of the dishonest actions of the fallen angels. They also apologized about Valper as it was their mistake for letting him escape. Take that as what you will. However, The leader of the Fallen Angel Azazel took custody of Kokabiel and locked him in Cocytus for eternity. He also plans on smoothing out the tension between the three factions.
"How nice of him." Yumi said hearing all of that.
"It gets better, There's going to be a meeting between the representatives of the three factions as there's something Azazel wishes to talk about. I heard he wants to apologize but until then who knows." Rias shrugged at that "Downside is we have to join in on the said meeting and give a report on everything that has happened during this event. And on top of all this Vanishing Dragon belongs to the Fallen Angels as well."
Xenovia nodded hearing that "Makes since the Forth strongest Longinus seemed familiar with Kokabiel." Xenovia however had another idea as she went over to Asia "I am sorry for how I treated you. Now that I understand everything as how it is an apology is necessary. So please do as you wish."
Asia simply shook her head. "No, I'm happy as I am now. I have people all around me and people important to me.."
"I see…" Xenovia saw Asia smile "I understand what you went through now. I was once seen as somebody who was admired for Holy sword usage, now I'm just a heretic." Issei saw that her eyes were lacking that something that drove people on as she spoke. "I have other things that need to be dealt with due to transferring to the school. So I will have to take an early leave. " Xenovia said as she walked to the door.
Issei wiggled his fingers "Hexen"
"Umm" Asia called out to Xenovia "we're going out next weekend, would you like to join us?"
"I will have to pass… but do you think you could show me around sometime?"
Asia turned into a small sun hearing that "sure"
