Chapter V

When Izuku drifted awake, it was to a very unfamiliar sensation that he hoped would become familiar in a hurry. He still felt a bit pleasantly sore from last night (and what a night it was. He and Rias had gone at it for hours.) but apparently his sexy little minx hadn't had enough. He let out a groan, not even opening his eyes, "Ugh, Rias I love youuuu." The tiny little slurping sounds made it even hotter.
"Love you too." Rias replied, sounding dryly amused.
Izuku smiled and put his hand on her head to gently guide her… and then his brain stuttered, and his eyes snapped open. He looked to his left, where his girlfriend looked to be about twenty percent jealous, and eighty percent amused. He blinked owlishly at her, before he raised his head and looked down at Akeno very enthusiastically giving him a morning blowjob. Her purple eyes were gleaming as she stared at him.
He let his head fall back, rubbed at his eyes as if trying to ward off a headache, and then looked back at her, "You know that was in your best friend for hours last night, right?"
Rias sounded even more amused, "And we were just so tired, you know? We didn't go and take another shower."
Akeno pulled off of him with a pop that made him clench a bit. She very deliberately licked her lips, staring at him with the lewdest eyes she could manage, "Tasty."
He snorted lightly, not sure why he expected anything differently. He hadn't let go of her head, and now he purposefully moved her back so she could continue. "You know what? My initial statement is still valid." He pulled Rias into a closer embrace and pecked her on the lips.
"I did say I wasn't sure if she was happier for me or for herself, didn't I?" Rias drawled, teasingly drawing her finger around one of his nipples. "Our Akeno has a bit of a fetish for this kind of thing."
"Which thing?" He snarked, moving her head the way he wanted. To his surprise, she had basically completely surrendered control of her head to him, "The one where she gets to have her cake-" He spanked Rias, making her moan, "And eat it too-" He took a moment to point at her head, "Or the one where she gets her best friend's boyfriend to 'cheat.'"
Rias chuckled, "Yes." He dropped his head back with a groan. She wrinkled her nose, "Though I have to say, I wasn't too sure on the yuri yuri front until now." She yelped as Akeno slid a hand up her thigh and started exploring her too. She blushed a bit, before putting on a smirk, "And here's another one for her." She placed her hand on top of his, and made him set a much more vigorous and punishing pace. She also forced Akeno down much farther than she had gone before.
"Rias!" Izuku yelped, using his superior strength to slow it down, "What?"
"Akeno…" Rias drawled, "Likes it rough." Or at least she thought she did. She had never actually done anything before, after all. But with her tastes and choices in porn, it was a pretty safe assumption, "So…" She dodged his hand and forced Akeno all the way down to the base, making Izuku buck in surprise. Even gagged as she was, they both could still hear her deep, guttural moan. Rias held her down for a good ten seconds, before slowly allowing her best friend's head to rise.
Izuku met her eyes, realizing they looked kind of wild and how much she had enjoyed that. He sighed, "Okay, we're going to have to talk about stuff like that first, because I definitely wasn't ready for that. But for now…" He took a deep breath and grabbed her head when her disappointment showed, and forced her back to work. He eyed Rias, "I don't need to worry about this with you too, right?"
"Spanking and maybe tying me up a bit." Rias responded quickly, "Anything else, I'd have to experiment with. Definitely not too into pain play like her."
"And I'm definitely not." Izuku muttered, and Akeno looked disappointed again, "Sorry Akeno, but I could try being your… dom? S?" She gave him a thumbs up as he gave her a break, not that she stopped her tongue which was very quickly going to make him come undone, "But I have no interest in being a sub or M."
She somehow managed to convey her pout.
"Let's finish up." Rias said, her eyes darkening, "We have work to do." Her tone promised violence.
Ah yes, there was that to deal with too. Izuku removed his hand and allowed Akeno to do as she pleased, and was a little shocked when she started to go even harder.
-[-
"What's got her looking so happy?" Sōna asked as she eyed Akeno weirdly. The other black-haired girl was almost sparkling and looked incredibly relaxed.
"Never mind that." Izuku blushed just a little as he took his seat beside Rias.
Sōna stared at them for a moment, and then abruptly decided she didn't want to know. She turned to Rias, "Why'd you call my Queen and I to this meeting?"
"Because our territory was invaded." Rias barely kept her statement from being a snarl, "Those Strays weren't here by accident."
Sōna's eyes sharpened, "Explain." Her voice was ice cold, "I thought it was strange that so many would have come here specifically. For what purpose were they here?"
"To bait me away so they could attack me." Akeno said, her good mood evaporating as she became serious.
"But why?" Tsubaki asked, looking confused. "Why set up an elaborate attack like this just to single out one reincarnated devil? And not even a well-known one." None of them but their Kings would have been well known, after all, so it wasn't an insult like some people may have construed it as.
"Because the attackers were all named Himejima." Izuku said, crossing his arms.
Sōna let out an explosive sigh as Tsubaki visibly drooped a bit. The other Queen put a hand on Akeno's shoulder in solidarity, having also come from one of the other four families which were excessively traditional like the Himejima.
"Those damned zealots." Sōna rubbed her eyes behind her glasses, "This requires a response. What will we do?"
"I was hoping you'd tell me." Rias said blankly, "A cooler head than mine is certainly required here, because my idea is to blow my new secret a little early."
Sōna twitched, looking at her rival, "…New secret?" Rias smirked at her, before Sōna's head mechanically turned to Izuku. He smiled and gave her a cheery wave. "Wonderful." She said dryly, "I have a feeling that our rivalry isn't as close as it was."
Rias giggled, "Don't worry Sōna. I'm sure you'll catch up." Sōna's eye twitched minutely, before Rias sighed, "Plus, my control over my magic is shot. I'll be training for a while to get back to where I was on that front."
Sōna's glasses flashed, "So, whatever you've done has raised your power drastically. I suppose your boy had a hand in that?"
Izuku chuckled, "You could say that." He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.
Sōna sighed, "You ate one of his Devil Fruits, didn't you?"
Rias squealed, "You read it?!" She clapped excitedly.
"Don't get too excited!" Sōna leaned back a bit, "I've only gotten to Syrup Village." She sighed, "Honestly, it's hard to get into with such an idiot as a main character." She grumbled, looking away.
Izuku laughed, "Honestly, it's endearing. He's an idiot for sure, but it somehow works. And his stupidity is hilarious at times. He can be serious when he needs to be."
"I'll take your word for it." Sōna said after a moment, "Does it at least pick up soon?" She asked Rias.
"Definitely." She nodded, "The first saga was honestly pretty slow, and I didn't really get fully hooked until after Syrup. The next arc showed that Oda wasn't afraid of doing darker themes in his story and was pretty engaging, even if the Villain was forgettable. The arc after that was one of the big ones."
"Alright, I suppose I can give it at least that long." Sōna replied, before shaking her head, "This is just a distraction. What are we going to do about this?"
Izuku got their attention, "I was pretty mad, and they were unrepentant, so I took their souls." He still felt uneasy at just how much he had used that aspect of his fruit since he had come here. "I was able to read their memories. So, there's good news despite the attack. The Himejima are under new leadership. Akeno's cousin Suzaku has been selected by the Vermillion Bird, and she is much less of a traditionalist than the former leader." He sighed, "But the problem is that now the clan is split between her smaller but growing faction and the much larger but shrinking faction of the former leader. This entire attack was planned by Himejima Suou as basically a last shot at Akeno. They intended to get the job done without ever being found out."
"That both simplifies things and complicates them at the same time." Sōna held back a groan by sheer force of will, "If it was just a case of the Himejima being the Himejima, we would have a Casus Belli against them. We could either take care of it ourselves or relay to Duke Gremory that they violated his agreement with them. And to be frank, that is still an option, except a modernized, less fanatically traditional Himejima would be a good set of allies to have."
"Exactly why I called for cooler heads than mine." Rias said, her eyes flashing angrily.
"And I would appreciate it if we could handle this ourselves." Akeno said softly, "I… I think I would quite like to meet her again. She's one of the few of my family I have any fond memories of."
Izuku smiled, and patted her on the thigh under the table. She grasped his hand, blushing just a tiny amount, "I think the best thing we can do now is wait." He said, drawing their attention. "I know you need to respond, but it doesn't need to be an immediate response, does it? Rias needs to retrain herself and get her magic under control again, and that will give her time to cool off. If this is going to require a response, then a cold response is the better one." Despite her anger, Rias couldn't help but smile. She leaned over and pecked him on the cheek.
Sōna smiled lightly, "Well reasoned." She gave him a little clap, "I think you're right, but we can't take too long. Our response will need to come before the end of the semester for sure."
"Which gives us about a month and a half." Akeno mused, before nodding, "Yeah, I think that should be more than enough time."
Rias nodded, "If I have my way it won't even take two weeks." She stood, "So the only question is if we'll be presenting a united front, or if my Peerage will be handling it alone."
"Yours was the principal party wronged, and you are additionally the main governor of Kuoh." Sōna adjusted her glasses, "I can of course assist if you wish, though I think both of our Peerages together would be beyond overkill at this point."
"Fair enough." Rias chuckled, "Okay, I think I'm a little calmer now. Thank you, everyone."
Akeno smiled, though it was more on the sadistic side, "I suppose there's nothing left to do than to begin your new lessons, right Rias-sama?"
Rias started to sweat just a little.

As Izuku walked into class, he froze for a bare second before proceeding forward as if nothing had happened. With his hands in his pockets, he used a communication spell to connect his mind with Kiba's, 'Do you feel that?'
'I do.' Came the Knight's response. 'It's most certainly a Sacred Gear.'
'One awakened? Here?' Izuku asked incredulously, having been told they were decently rare.
Kiba wasn't sure, 'I… I don't think it's awake. Just starting to wake up.'
'Seriously? We're getting a hit that strong on our senses, and you don't think it's even awake?' He surreptitiously eyed the rest of the class with his Kenbunshoku and budding magical senses, trying to figure out who he was sensing it from. 'It's Kiryū-san.' Izuku narrowed the feeling down as he sat down, his eyes lingering on the girl, 'I thought I had sensed something off before, but I thought that was just that perverted power of hers.' Hadn't that been a shocking revelation. He'd shuddered when he learned that the girl basically had the ability to measure him with only a glance.
Kiba didn't get a chance to answer because Aika noticed Izuku staring. "Ara?" She stared back at him with a blush, as she always did, "You're staring at me so intently, Midoriya-kun." She licked her lips, "Did you perhaps want to have some fun with me?"
Izuku jumped, and didn't bother to try to dampen one of his old, shy reactions, "Wh-wha?" He shook his head, "S-Sorry, Kiryū-san. I've been pretty distracted all day."
"Oh, so I'm that distracting, hmm?" She asked playfully, "Anything I can help with?"
Izuku shook his head, "No, just something at home. Thanks though."
Before Aika could respond, the teacher entered and started their first lesson. Izuku sighed as they got down to it, his mind not really on the lesson. He drifted off since he knew most of this material, thinking more on his relationship with Rias and now even Akeno too. 'Gosh, it's crazy. I had never even had a girlfriend before I came here, and now I have Rias and… whatever our relationship with Akeno is.' Thinking of that brought a new flush to his cheeks as he remembered the morning's… activities. And it didn't help that once they had left the room, they had run into Lavinia absentmindedly walking from the bathroom after a shower. With her only towels around her waist and hair, allowing her breasts to bounce freely. He was half starting to wonder if he hadn't been isekai'd into a harem anime, 'I don't know whether to shake All For One's hand before smashing his face in or to just go for the smashing.'
Thinking of Lavinia also got him excited for different reasons too. After several months of training in the basics of magic, the girls had deemed him ready to find something to focus on. Over the past two weeks or so, they had been showing him examples of various magical disciplines, and today was the day that they were finally going to start working on his favorite of the options they had offered.
He couldn't wait, he mused as the teacher called on him. He blinked, "Pay attention, Midoriya-kun. I'm not too eager to assign detention, you know?" She smiled at him.
"Sorry sensei. What was the question?" Izuku asked, and the teacher indicated the problem, specifically a derivative. He eyed it for a few seconds, "6x2 18x 7."
"Very good!"
Izuku settled down for another rather boring lesson, once again ruing just how advanced U.A. students had been expected to be.
…
"A Sacred Gear, huh?" Rias tapped her chin, "Intriguing. I wonder what's causing it to start awakening?"
"Well, I have had to blast those two idiots with Haōshoku roughly a dozen times a week. Maybe it's perceiving even indirect usage as a threat?" Izuku said dryly, "Why the hell doesn't the principal expel them?"
Rias sighed, "We have so few boys we can't really afford to get rid of them." She answered back, equally dryly, "Unfortunately, they're at least smart enough to not do anything actually worth expelling them over."
Izuku let out an explosive sigh, "Man, I'll be honest. I kind of miss being from the future. Japan in my time had gotten past this nonsense decades ago. We only really read about it in history books."
"Ufufufu, poor Izuku." Akeno patted him on the head, "There, there."
"Woof." Izuku deadpanned, getting a giggle from both of them, "Anyway, any plans for Kiryū-san?"
"Not yet." Rias said, before smirking sardonically, "We'll see if it's anything worth reincarnating her over. I'd rather not have to share you with her."
Izuku blushed, "It's not like I'm the horndog looking for more girlfriends."
"No, you just attract us with that animal magnetism and heroic outlook. You made my heart go all doki doki after you saved me, after all." Akeno pecked him on the cheek. She giggled as he blushed, "Plus, it's Kiryū. Her joining condition would be getting in your pants." They both let giggles out as Izuku facepalmed.
"Hey everyone!" Lavinia called out as she arrived in a flash of a blue magical sigil, "Are you excited, Midoriya-kun?"
Izuku grinned widely, "You betcha!"
"I'm surprised." Akeno stated, "I kind of thought you would want to go for some super powerful magic like most newbies." She started to laugh, "Like Explosions."
"I am not a loli." Izuku deadpanned, knowing exactly what she was referencing.
They all started to laugh, before Rias actually nodded to Akeno, "She's right though. Why'd you pick this?"
"Because it's something totally new, and the possibilities are essentially endless, aren't they?" Izuku grinned, "I'm already strong. I'm fast. And I can hit like an earthquake if I need to. And that's without considering Indra and Pele, so I even have two elements covered already. Not to mention that I can always make more Homies. All I'd have to do is, I don't know, go to the Himalayas and cause an Avalanche or something. This will be something I can use to support others beyond just making myself stronger."
Lavinia clapped excitedly, "Oooh, that's really good thinking! I'm excited now! Let's start right away!" She brought out a piece of paper and quickly wrote something on it, "So, I think you already know that Script Magic can be used for things like elemental substitutes, traps, and such." She pointed a finger at the ground, and carefully drew the character 火 with only her magic. "The word provides a basis through which you use the magic. It is a simple vocation in theory." The word began to glow, and then a very small fire ignited that was the size of the actual character. "But it can also get much more complex than that. I could use a different language and get a very different amount of power from the same word."
Izuku grinned, "Awesome. I always did like learning languages!" A remnant of his childhood reverence for All Might, of course.
"Good! You'll need that enthusiasm! And true masters, of which I most certainly am not-" Lavinia giggled and stuck her tongue out sheepishly, "-can write what looks like one word, but is actually hundreds layered together on the conceptual level into that one character. Basically like writing in the fourth, fifth, etc dimensions at the same time. That same sized character that I just drew for that tiny fire would have enough power to burn the school down."
"Woah, that's kind of scary." Rias mumbled, "I never paid too much attention to Script Magic. Maybe I should reconsider…"
Lavinia giggled again, "It's really useful! And if you have skill in metal or woodworking, you can carve permanent effects into the items you create."
Izuku immediately went into a daydream of creating fantasy weapons. Tokoyami would have been proud. All three girls noticed the dreamy look on his face and burst into laughter. Izuku blushed as that grabbed his attention, and he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
Lavinia finished giggling, and smiled brightly, "But even intermediates like me can craft some pretty unique things." She held the paper out and grinned in an uncharacteristically impish manner, "Like this!" She placed it face down on the floor and channeled a bit of magic to activate it, "Okay you three. Step towards me."
Izuku took a step forward… and then froze as he realized that his leg hadn't moved at all. "What the?" He glared at his leg as he tried to force it forward, only it wouldn't move at all.
Rias and Akeno looked at him in confusion, having been able to step perfectly fine. Lavinia looked very amused, "Okay, take a step back now." Izuku did so, and was able to step back easily. The girls were too. "Okay, now take another step forward!"
Both girls moved forward, but Izuku's leg was again glued to the floorboards. "What the hell?" He growled, trying to think of what was going on. Lavinia opened her mouth, but Izuku held his hand up as he muttered to himself, "I was able to move back fine, but moving forward is impossible. Akeno and Rias were both able to move with no issues. Could it be a male/female type spell? Why was I able to move back but not forwards? It can't be a barrier. I took a step back and was again unable to step forwards." Rias, Akeno, and Lavinia stared in almost morbid fascination as Izuku showed off his mumble vomit for the first time in front of them. He'd gotten much better over the years of keeping it down. But this one was stumping him. "Hmm." He turned around and took a step backwards, and then tried to walk forwards and was again stopped. He then turned sideways, and was able to sidestep perfectly fine too.
The three girls started giggling helplessly, as Lavinia patted him on the shoulder, "I don't think you're going to figure it out Midoriya-kun." She looked incredibly amused as she picked up the paper and showed them the script. He definitely didn't recognize the language. "It says, 'Anyone with green hair within two cow's length of this paper will be unable to move forwards.'"
"Woah… that's pretty specific." Izuku blushed as he realized Akeno and Rias were still giggling, "I thought I got that under control…" He grumbled.
Lavinia let out another little giggle, "Yes. The more specific you can be, the more powerful the spell is."
"What language is that?" He asked curiously.
"And why a cow?" Akeno looked really confused.
"Cuneiform." Lavinia replied, "Specifically the Early Babylonian script."
"Why something so old? Can modern languages not be used?" Rias asked before Izuku could.
"They can, but it's pretty difficult." Was the reply, "The more ancient the script, the more history behind it, the more power the character can take. Not sure why it works like that, but it does." She pouted cutely, "Of course, that does introduce other issues. For example, the meter wasn't defined until 1791, so cuneiform obviously didn't have a direct translation for it."
"Well, that explains the cow." Izuku laughed, and the girls joined him.
"Well, enjoy the lesson, you two." Rias said, wiping a tear away, "I have to go start retraining my magic with Akeno." She sighed.
"Ara, so unenthusiastic, Rias-sama." Akeno said airily, "Whatever for?"
"I'm not a masochist." Rias deadpanned, before kissing Izuku lightly, "Have fun!"
"I know I will." Akeno smiled sadistically after kissing him too.
And then there were two, and Lavinia looked at him a bit owlishly, "…Both of them, Midoriya-kun?" Izuku blushed.
-[-
Aika pouted as she left the school. She had again flirted with Izuku, and had even gotten a chance to wrestle with him in gym class. Honestly, she knew that the numbers were skewed, but the school really should have given more thought to how athletics would work out once they became coed. She had rushed to claim him as her partner, knowing it would be the perfect opportunity to feel him up. He'd caved to her soulful puppy-dog eyes instantly, as weak to it as any other man. Only things did not go as planned, and she certainly did not get to grind on him as desired. She had completely forgotten that she was a tiny waif who really didn't do as much exercise as she should, and that he was a massive, strong, and skilled man. He had quickly defeated her, before apologizing and recommending she try someone more on her skill level.
The only enjoyment she got out of that class was watching the cocky former sports star Matsuda face Izuku in the next match and get all but piledriven by her green-haired hunk.
Sighing, she almost didn't realize she was about to run into someone. "Ah, sorry about that."
"Ah, it's no problem." The girl was an unfamiliar one, slender with silky, jet-black hair and violet eyes. She was in a different uniform, making Aika inwardly wonder what she was doing at the academy, "I-I was actually hoping to run into you, Kiryū-san."
And now she was wondering how this unfamiliar girl knew her name, "Oh, what for?"
The girl was really cute, but Aika couldn't help but feel she was putting on an act as she clenched her hands in front of her skirt and wiggled nervously. "Uh, ano, I…" Okay, definitely feeling like it was an act, but damn if it wasn't cute as hell, "I was hoping you would want to go on a date with me."
Aika raised an eyebrow, "I… don't even know you? What's your name?"
"Ah!" The girl drooped, "I guess you don't recognize me. I'm Amano Yūma. I was in a different homeroom from you in middle school."
'No, I'm pretty sure I would have remembered someone this cute if we went to the same school.' Aika thought to herself, "Well, sorry for not remembering you, Amano-chan. But I don't think we've even spoken before this, so I'll have to decline." She said simply, not even really considering it. After all, right now she wanted nothing more than to get a date with Izuku, so she wasn't really on the market. Maybe once she had her man she could try to get to know this girl and see if she was interested in threesomes. If she remembered at all.
"Oh…" She looked almost like a kicked kitten, making Aika feel a little bad about it. "Okay… sorry for bothering you." She looked like she was going to cry. As Aika walked away, she sighed and her eyes sharpened, all of the sadness melting away as a cold look replaced it, "Oh well, it was a longshot anyway. Would have been easier if it had been one of the perverts." She sighed, "Plan B it is."

Izuku stopped paying attention to Lavinia's lesson as something came across his senses. "Hmm?" He turned to the window.
"What's the matter, Midoriya-kun?" Lavinia asked curiously. He had been such an attentive student so far, so this was unusual for him.
"Felt something…" He muttered, "A Fallen Angel just approached the school." He could feel the difference now, knowing what Akeno was before being Reincarnated. This lady's aura was pretty dark.
"Really?" Lavinia asked in shock, before focusing, "…I can't feel anything."
"She must be hiding it from your magical senses." Izuku smiled a little grimly, "But she can't hide from my Kenbunshoku. She doesn't know how to." He stood up, "I think we should check it out."
"Agreed." She pouted over having to cut their lesson short, before grabbing his arm and wrapping hers around it. He blushed as she pressed into him, not even realizing what she was doing. "Let's go for a walk!" She said as she cast a spell to hide them from people's magical senses as well as physical sight.
He quickly used Soru to get them outside, and watched as this 'Amano Yūma' approached Aika for a date. "Great." Izuku drawled, "Now we get to stalk Aika to make sure she's safe."
"Why?" Lavinia asked, "Do you think that Fallen would attack a schoolgirl?"
"Right, you weren't there." Izuku realized, "Tell me, do you think a Fallen Angel approaching a schoolgirl who Kiba and I felt was awakening a Sacred Gear that very same day isn't unusual?"
Lavinia blinked, her mouth opening and closing, "Uh, yes, let's follow then." She said, unable to really say anything else. What an incredibly obvious setup.
-[-
Aika had gotten some steamed buns at a local bakery and was enjoying them with some butter when she felt a slight shiver go down her spine. She looked around, not knowing why she would have felt so uncomfortable all of a sudden. It wasn't a cold day, and it wasn't very windy either. She shuddered again and continued on her walk, though at a much faster pace. She was getting a very creepy feeling as she turned down an alleyway. Once she got past this shortcut, she only had a few blocks to go before she got home. She would have avoided it too, but going around would have added another ten minutes. She was halfway through when a figure appeared at the other end of the alley.
Aika hesitated a step, before realizing it was the same girl who had approached her as she left the school. What was her name again? "Amano-chan?" She drawled as they got within ten feet of each other, leering at her with a face that did not betray her uneasiness, "You're not stalking me, are you? That's not going to get you a date, you know?"
"Oh no, that ship has sailed, Kiryū-chan. I'm over you now." She replied, and her voice and mannerisms seemed completely different from earlier.
Aika swallowed, her nervousness ratcheting up, "What can I do for you then?"
"Well, I had been hoping to show you a fun time before we got to this, you know? But you had to go and reject my kindness." Yūma said, her eyes growing cold. "So, I guess you can just die." She said, and before Aika could even finish parsing that statement, Yūma's clothes seemed to explode. She grew in height, and her features sharpened, becoming more mature. She was completely naked as a pair of black, feathered wings burst from her back. She licked her lips as she stared at Aika before a glow engulfed parts of her body. When it vanished, she was revealed in stripper wear. She was now wearing a leather getup consisting of black, strap-like objects around and under her breasts, with a thong-like piece held up by one thick strap and three string-like straps on the other side. She also had gloves on that went almost up to her shoulders, some asymmetric pauldrons, and boots that went past midthigh, all completely skintight. Some spikes and chains completed the ensemble.
'Wh-what the hell?! Did I just see a magical girl powerup?! Why does she look like an evil stripper with wings?!' Aika backed up a few steps as a jet-black feather landed at her feet. "Wh-who are you?! What is this?! Why are you after me?!"
Yūma let out a despondent-sounding sigh, "Oh, but it's just terrible, you see? Your luck, that is." She had a faux-innocent look of pity on her face as she mockingly looked at Aika, "See, your existence poses a threat to us. If you wish to blame anyone for this, then just blame God for giving you that Sacred Gear."
"Wh- I have no idea what you're talking about!" Aika shouted, her heart hammering in panic.
"You don't need to." Yūma licked her lips sadistically as a glowing purple spear made entirely of light appeared in her hand, "You just have to die!"
Aika closed her eyes and scrunched up as Yūma reared her arm back and threw it at her. After not feeling any pain, she hesitantly opened her eyes and gasped. She rapidly took a few steps back because the point of the spear had been inches from her eye, "Mi-Midoriya-kun!" She called out in terror. Izuku was holding the spear in a hand that was as black as midnight.
She hit something and squealed. "Easy!" Another feminine voice said and Aika bent slightly to look at her, blushing when she saw how beautiful she was and how huge her tits were, "You're safe."
"What the fuck?!" Yūma snarled, "Who are you?! How did you find us?!" She glared hard at him, "Humans can't hold Light! It's caustic to you! How are you doing that?!"
"Midoriya Izuku." Izuku could indeed feel the light trying to burn him through his Busōshoku coating, but was unable to penetrate. He clenched his fist and the light spear shattered, "And I won't let you harm her!"
"Like you can stop me!" Yūma roared back at him as she summoned a dozen light spears at once. "There's no way some human can beat me!" She flung the spears forward, aiming to kill all three of them at once.
Lavinia simply held an arm out as her expression grew cold. And then everything grew cold as a wall of ice rose in front of her and the scared girl beside her. The light spears hit the wall and stopped dead before everything shattered and cleared their vision. Izuku meanwhile had used one of his favorite spells to summon his weapons in twin flashes of light. With five rapid swings, he shattered all of the spears aimed at him with Takeru except for one. The last one, he just dodged, and it lodged into the pavement behind him. He leapt forwards and with a yell, swung for Yūma's head.
With a scream of fright at his speed, she dodge-rolled beneath it and gasped as she saw the pavement and walls crack just from the wind pressure of his attack. "No one warned me about this!" She gasped in fear as she took off into the air so quickly Aika couldn't even see her move at first.
"Gungnir." Izuku said emotionlessly as Indra covered his hand in lightning. Aika and Lavinia had to shield their eyes from the bright flash, and they could hear the Fallen Angel scream in the air as she was fried. She dropped out of the air and crashed down into the middle of the alley with a loud crash, breaking the pavement beneath her.
She struggled to get up, spasming as terror engulfed her. Izuku approached, Takeru held firmly in his hand. "N-No!" The Fallen cried out, trying to tug on their heartstrings. She even shrank down into her schoolgirl form to appear cuter. "Please, let me go…" She begged.
"Would you have let Kiryū-san go?" Izuku asked blankly. Her soul was a cesspool. Hatred, rage, sadistic lust… She was nothing like Akeno or any of his Devil friends.
"Please! I'll never hurt anyone again!" She tried pitifully, making herself as small as possible.
"People like you…" Izuku said with a despondent sigh, "Never stop." He said softly. Her eyes opened in horror, and then she began to glow from within as her surprisingly bright soul started to vacate her body. She screamed in terror as her very essence left her, and Izuku grabbed it. He stared at it as the two girls watched. On the floor, Yūma had seemed to almost wither and age beneath his feet. 'Should I?' He wondered to himself, before letting out a little groan, 'Better to find out now rather than later.' He absorbed the soul, allowing the memories and personality to wash away as he did so. He really should have taken a peek through her memories to see what she was even doing in Kuoh, but this soul was noticeably ancient. For all he knew, his 'peek' could end up being a twenty-year information overload. And with the evil festering in her, he wasn't willing to take that shot.
He grunted as he absorbed the power, though it didn't affect him nearly as badly as that first Devil did. It felt different. The soul's emotions tried to grab on to him, which was something the Devil stray's soul hadn't done. Those Sins seemed to be much more engraved on a Fallen's soul and harder to filter out. Hatred. Rage. Sadism. Those were emotions that had a very hard time affecting him due to who he was, and he forced them to flow past his soul and into the ether with little difficulty. Lust on the other hand? Especially now that his libido had awoken due to his beautiful girlfriend…? That could latch on. He started feeling his pants get very uncomfortably tight as the soul's Lust started to affect him, and it was a struggle to keep from cutting through dimensions then and there to go find his redheaded beauty and throw her into their bed. 'My Lust WILL NOT control me!' He growled to himself as he asserted control.
He took a few deep breaths as his fists clenched and unclenched. He was able to distract himself when he felt something from his own soul now that wasn't there before. "Huh?" He blinked, and allowed that part to come forth. In his hand, an emerald spear of Light formed. He and Lavinia stared at it with their jaws dropped.
"…That's new." Lavinia said in wonder.
Izuku let it drop, "I'll figure that out later." He looked at Aika and smiled as best he could at her, "Are you okay, Kiryū-san?"
Aika's lips trembled as a sob bubbled out of her. "You saved me…" She ran and leapt at him, "My hero!" She hugged him as tightly as she could.
Izuku's eyebrow twitched. Her hands were grabbing his butt, and she was definitely grinding her crotch on his. His controlled but now enhanced Lust immediately started taking effect again, and he instantly started to regret everything. As Izuku stared at the sky, Lavinia began to giggle.
-[-
Rias took a deep breath, her hands in almost a prayer-like position with the tips of her fingers touching her lips and under her nose, and her thumbs under her chin.
"Ufufufu." Akeno laughed behind one of her dainty hands, "What did I say, Izuku-kun?"
"Did I miss something?" Lavinia tilted her head in confusion.
Rias had her eyes closed, as if doing so would rid her of the sight of Kiryū Aika attached to her boyfriend like a limpet. She was pretty sure she saw some dry humping as well.
Izuku had a look of deadpanned suffering on his face, "Yare, yare…" His libido was still working in overdrive and he was very tempted to just ignore everything else and go grab Rias to put a very different look on her face.
Rias looked at them and pointed her hands, still in that prayer-like pose at Aika, "You. Off."
"Aww, but-" Aika protested, before stiffening as an even stronger aura of danger than she had felt from Yūma pressed down on her.
"Kiryū-san… get off." Rias repeated, and Aika did so with a frightened yelp, taking at least two steps from Izuku.
"Thank you." Izuku sighed in relief, making the pervert pout as the aura had vanished.
"Izuku." Rias turned her bright and sunny expression to him, "Explain."
"Err." He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "So, I felt a Fallen approach the school while I was having my lesson with Lavinia-chan,"
"A Fallen?" Aika blinked as Akeno's expression darkened and her amusement vanished, "What does that mean?"
Rias groaned and thumped her head on her desk, "And you decided to go be a hero like usual, huh?" She asked, ignoring the girl.
"Ah, yeah, pretty much." Izuku chuckled nervously, "…If it helps, whatever Sacred Gear Kiryū-san has was apparently enough for them to want to kill her."
"Okay, will someone explain what the hell is going on?" Aika blurted out, "Fallen, Sacred Gears, wanting to kill me?! What the fuck?!"
"Well, funny you mention Hell." Rias said dryly, before letting out a groan and standing from her desk, "Okay Kiryū-san, whatever you think you know about the world, you can just roll up into a ball and throw it in the garbage." Aika blinked at her, her mouth slightly unhinged, "Angels, Demons, Magic-" Akeno helpfully held up a hand and a small ball of crackling purple lightning appeared, making Aika jump back with a squeak, "-vampires, all sorts of things that humans think are just fiction are real. That girl who tried to kill you was a Fallen Angel."
"W-Wow." She looked from Akeno to Rias to Izuku, "S-So you're all like, magicians?"
"Not exactly." Izuku chortled, "I'm a human like you, except from another world something like a couple hundred years in the future where eighty percent of the population has superpowers." Aika's jaw fully dropped at that revelation.
"I'm a magician!" Lavinia waved cheerfully, and Aika couldn't help but flush a little at her cuteness.
"While the rest of us here in the Occult Research Club and even the Student Council are all Devils." Rias and Akeno allowed their wings to burst from their backs. Rias's tail popped out as well.
Aika started breathing rather heavily, but not in the usual 'perving on Izuku' manner. She looked a few steps short of a panic attack. "I-what-I don't."
"Breathe, Kiryū-san." Akeno quickly got her a glass of water, which she started to sip at as Akeno rubbed her back.
Izuku rubbed the back of his neck again, feeling bad, "Sorry Kiryū-san. I can't even help you here since I have no reference for a 'normal' human in this world. This wouldn't have been that shocking back home."
"Yeah, and I had my own Sacred Gear." Lavinia said, though Izuku blinked and looked at her in concern at how wintry her voice had gotten.
Aika took another gulp of water, "Okay." She whispered, before shaking her head and taking another gulp, "Okay." She said in a much stronger voice, "Why was…Yūma after me? Why did she want to…to kill me?"
"You were irrelevant to them." Rias said, though not unkindly, "Their full interest lay in what is inside you. A Sacred Gear. Think of them like little… presents shall we call them? From the God of the Bible to the humans he made in his image. Most Sacred Gears aren't anything to write home about, but even lackluster ones can still make a large impact. Humans who possess them are almost always the shakers and movers in the world. Most of the great people you read about in history books possessed them."
"That's… that's crazy!" Aika protested, "How can I have something like that in me and not know it?!"
"Because it was dormant." Akeno explained, "Sleeping, essentially. Just this morning, Yuuto-kun and Izuku-kun sensed that yours was waking up. That Fallen must have sensed it too, and thus targeted you. You are, after all, in Devil Territory, and I'm sure her thought process was 'better to kill her than wait for our enemies to claim her.'"
"Claim me?" Aika balked, "What do you mean 'claim me?' The only one I want claiming me is Izuku!"
Izuku and Rias turned their eyes to the ceiling, while Akeno and even Lavinia started to giggle some more, "Ufufufu, not that kind of claiming, Kiryū-san." She leaned over and put a finger under Aika's chin, "And are you sure you wouldn't like to be… claimed?"
Aika blushed bright red, opening her mouth, before closing it with a click. Rias got the girl's attention back on her, "What I meant was that I can reincarnate you into a Devil." Aika gave the redhead her full, shocked, undivided attention, "While this club bar Izuku and the Student Council are made up entirely of Devils, only Sōna and I were born as Devils." She snapped her fingers and her chess board with her Evil Pieces appeared in a flash of dark light. Rias picked up one of her Pawns, "This is an Evil Piece. It was created centuries ago by one of our leaders and our head of science. Devils like us are extremely long lived. If no one kills us, we can live for tens of thousands of years or perhaps even infinitely depending on how much power we have. My mother is nearly a thousand years old and could pass as my twin if she dyed her hair red. Unfortunately, the downside is that we're extremely infertile. It took hundreds of years of constant attempts for my parents to have a second child (me) after my brother. As such, when war and civil war reared their ugly heads centuries ago, our numbers dropped like stones in a pond. This was the solution Ajuka-sama created." She handed the pawn to Aika.
"This little thing is capable of all that?" She asked incredulously, turning it over in her hand. "Changing your race? Granting you mythical powers? All that from a tiny little Pawn?"
"That's right." Akeno said cheerily, "I took a Queen myself. I'm Rias's second in command. Yuuto-kun is a Knight. Koneko-chan is a Rook."
Aika looked at Izuku, "Did you take one? No, right? You said you were still human."
"Not for lack of trying." Rias groused, "The limitation of the Evil Pieces is that they are incapable of reincarnating anything that is far and away more powerful than the King. Beings like Gods have never successfully been turned. And Izuku is far more powerful than me." That fact was still burning her ass, for lack of a better description. Even after her recent power boost from eating her Devil Fruit, she had been unable to reincarnate him. It was one of the first things they tried when they figured out how much stronger she was.
"Ah." Aika handed the Pawn back to Rias.
She placed it back on her board, "Now, I was planning on observing you for a while before making the offer." Rias said, and Aika wasn't too surprised, "But this event has forced my hand. For the Fallen to be this brazen is worrying." She crossed her arms, "I'll be blunt, ours is essentially the Biblical pantheon, and we're made up of the Devils, the Fallen Angels, and the actual Angels. We were at war for years until a very tenuous ceasefire was drawn up centuries ago, and that's been the status quo ever since. For a Fallen to come into my declared territory, shared with another Devil, and then try to kill someone ostensibly under my protection tells me quite a lot. Whatever your Sacred Gear is, it is either very powerful, very important, or very dangerous. So much so that they were willing to risk the ceasefire being broken. I will obviously not force this on you, but you'd be doing yourself a disservice by refusing. You need training, and until you're strong enough, you'll need protection. Otherwise, the Fallen or even other groups might be after you solely for that power you can't control."
"Well, that's more than a decent stick." Aika mumbled, "But what do I get out of it? Who's to say I can't figure this Sacred Gear business out on my own? What benefits do I get? What are the downsides? I want to know everything before making any sort of decision."
"Smart." Rias nodded, "Akeno?"
"First, the reincarnation process isn't technically free." Akeno said, "If you accept, you will be Rias-sama's servant in the strictest sense of our laws. For most Devils, it would even be true. You lucked out though, because the Gremory clan is one of the few that treats their servants like family. All of us in Rias's Peerage were saved and given homes by her when we had nothing. She's been my best friend ever since." Akeno explained to her.
Lavinia cheerfully took over the next part, "As a Devil, you'll gain enhanced strength, endurance, magical power, and night vision. Your eyesight might even improve enough to not need glasses. You'll feel stronger and more awake in the night. You'll also gain wings and the ability to fly. You'll be able to speak and understand any language flawlessly. And, of course, you get that increased lifespan. That said, you will initially feel kind of weak during the day, and Light like that Fallen Angel tried to kill you with will be even more dangerous to you."
"Oh, speaking of Light!" Izuku exclaimed, interrupting Lavinia, "Look!" And then the green spear of Light was in his hand.
"PFFFFFTTTTTT!" He then got to witness the gloriously hilarious sight of his two girlfriends performing 'spray out spit' spittakes. "BY THE MAŌ, WHAT THE FUCK?!"
"Oh, I decided to test out if a Fallen would make me react like that Devil did." Izuku explained, "Her soul was a cesspool too. I hope not all Fallen are like her."
"Experience points to yes." Akeno said, smiling in a very strained manner.
"Ugh, Izuku-kun, you're going to make my head explode if you keep doing stuff like this!" Rias moaned.
"Why is it such a big deal?" Aika asked, "I mean, I get why you can't use it, cuz, you know, Devil, but…"
"Because Light is supposed to be unique to only Angels and Fallen." Rias said, "Which means Izuku didn't just eat her soul, he ate parts of her power too, and integrated it safely! That should be burning him, but it's not! And he's not even using Haki!" She shook her head in frustration as Aika tilted her head in dumbfounded confusion at the word, "We'll figure that out later!" She pointed at him imperiously, "Now put the spear away so Lavinia-chan can finish!"
"Yes ma'am." Izuku said meekly.
"As I was saying," Lavinia looked amused, "Even saying God's name will cause you pain, and you'll be weak to 'holy' items like crucifixes."
"I see…" Aika adjusted her glasses. "I don't think I'd look this good without my glasses." She joked, and saw that they all cracked smiles. "In all seriousness, would I be your 'servant' forever?"
"Essentially." Rias shrugged, "That's not to say that you'd be a low-class starting Devil forever though. That is, after all, all that the reincarnation system does. It only replenishes our numbers faster. It doesn't produce powerful Devils. But! That doesn't mean that a weak Devil has to stay a weak Devil. We have various systems in place to allow you to promote through the ranks as your power grows. Eventually, you can even earn your place as a King yourself and create a Peerage of your own. Maybe a group of boytoys for yourself, hmm?" She tried to inch Aika away from her boyfriend.
"That would be sweet, but I'd probably spend all day comparing them to Izuku-kun and finding them lacking." Aika said absently, making Izuku facepalm.
Rias let out yet another sigh, 'Hells damn it…' Her left eye twitched, "So, what do you say?"
"Hmmm…" Aika tapped her chin, before glomping Izuku again, "I don't suppose you can sweeten the pot with a date, hmm?"
"Ask my girlfriends." Izuku prevaricated, turning pleading eyes to Rias.
"What?!" Aika reared back in shock. "You have a girlfriend?!"
"Yes." Rias said, smiling beatifically at her, daring her to not take the hint.
Of course, Akeno had to throw fuel on the fire, "Two of them, even. Ufufufu." She batted her eyelashes at him.
Izuku glared lightly at her, "You know, suddenly I think that whole punishment fetish of yours might not be too bad." Of course, that only delighted her.
"Wait, seriously?!" Aika backed away from Izuku, looking first at Rias's bust, and then at Akeno's, and then down at her own, "That's not fair!"
"Devils, darling." Akeno smirked lightly at her, "We don't play fair."
Aika pouted, "Fine! A harem is fine too! I want in!"
"Maō help me." Rias groaned out loud.
"Don't I have a say in this?!" Izuku asked incredulously, "I just got introduced to even the idea of two girlfriends this morning!"
"So, three isn't too far off!" Aika chirped at him, grinning salaciously, "I wonder how you'd look in a speedo."
"Ooh, I like her! She has potential!" Akeno threw more fuel on the fire. "But she's not getting a date before me! And since she's such a naughty girl, maybe I'll get to have some fun punishing her too!"
"Ugh!" Rias got off her desk and snapped at Aika, "Just lay down on the table already so we can get this over with!" Aika practically skipped to the desk. Rias put the Pawn on her chest a little bit harder than she needed to, making Aika wince, "Arise into your new life! Awaken as my Pawn, Kiryū Aika!" The Pawn glowed, and then the group gasped as all seven of the remaining Pawns lifted off the chess board and circled above Aika's chest. They then sank in, and Aika arched her back with a gasp as she felt flooded by Rias's energy. Her body pulsed over and over as she was transformed. Wings popped out of her back as the black and red energy poured from her. And then, it was done, and she slumped, panting. "Eight?!" Rias asked incredulously, "You took all eight of my Pawns?!"
"I-Is that bad?" Aika licked her lips as she sat up. "I… I feel amazing!" She gasped as she got up and casually lifted Rias's desk a few inches off the ground, "What the heck?! It's really true! There's no way I could have lifted this heavy desk before! I can hardly feel it now!"
"Of course, it was! Did you think this was an overly elaborate prank?" Rias asked tartly, "Let's summon your Sacred Gear now. I have to know what it is now!"
"And no, it's not bad per se that you took all eight Pawns, just extremely unusual. Although it does mean that Rias-sama can no longer have a full Peerage. Most of them end up being one member per each piece." Akeno threw in.
"Ah, I'm sorry?" Aika apologized to Rias.
Rias shook her head, "No, no, don't be sorry. This just means that you could become powerful enough to do the work of all eight Pawns. Whatever your Sacred Gear is must be powerful!" She bounced excitedly, "Let's go! Summon it out!"
"Uhh…" Aika looked at her cluelessly, "…How?"
"Let me!" Lavinia hopped up, "Here, Kiryū-chan." She poked her in the exact center of her chest.
Aika gasped, her eyes going wide, as a fire ignited inside her, "I-I feel like I just drank a gallon of caffeine! What did you do?!"
"I injected you with a tiny bit of my magic to awaken your own!" Lavinia chirped cheerfully, "That's what magical power feels like! You already had some potential of your own! Focus on that feeling, and your Sacred Gear should awaken!"
Aika did as instructed, feeling the magic flow through her body. Unbidden, her right arm rose, and then she clenched as if about to make a fist. In a flash of light, a staff materialized, "Woah!" She looked awed as she examined it. It was crimson in color, and did not really look to be made out of wood. Or at least not any wood she had ever seen. The bottom of it was essentially a small, claw-shaped pommel. The staff was bigger than she was by a few inches, and flared out at about the midpoint slightly. Near the other end, an expanding-weave pattern opened up into a much bigger claw atop the staff, with a floating green gem sitting pretty in its 'palm.'
"A staff?" Rias, Akeno, and Lavinia all stared at it in incomprehension, "…what is it?! I've never heard of this one before!" Rias started biting the nail on her thumb, "For eight Pawns, especially with your complete lack of training and power, I would have expected you to have one of the Longinus Gears. It's the only thing that makes sense! The Evil Pieces don't just read current power, but potential too. But this doesn't match any of the Longinus Gears!"
"Look at her hands!" Izuku said suddenly, and they all jumped. Aika held them up.
"Rings too!" Indeed, many of her fingers, with more on her other hand than the one holding the staff, now contained scarlet rings with green gems held in miniature claws.
"Rias, you don't think she has a Sub-Species, do you?" Lavinia asked, her brow furrowed.
Rias's eyes lit up, "Oooh, that might be it!" She turned to Aika and Izuku, "For the record, a Sub-Species Sacred Gear is one that is unique to the wielder. Sacred Gears are reborn through the ages every time a human dies, and they generally have a very recognizable form. For example, the most powerful of them all is always a spear, because the God of the Bible made it from the spear that pierced Jesus Christ's side. But sometimes, the standard form of the Sacred Gear just doesn't cut it. The wielder's thoughts and feelings influence it, and it gains a new appearance and unique abilities too. It's incredibly rare though, and a base form Sub-Species is even rarer."
"It is the only thing that makes sense though." Akeno said, having summoned a book. "Uhhh, Buchou, I think you may have hit the jackpot." She turned the book around, revealing the picture of the Boosted Gear. "Scarlet with a green gem? Dragon related? Claws?"
"Ooohhhhh." Rias wobbled, and Izuku had to catch her as she tried to turn into slime, "B-Boosted Gear Sub-Species." She said in rapture.
"I don't have to be jealous of a staff, do I?" Izuku asked dryly.
Rias jumped up, "This is amazing!" She ignored him and hugged him so tight that he turned a little blue, "Do you guys have any idea what the Boosted Gear does?!"
"No." Aika deadpanned, "Please tell me what my super special power does."
"Boosted Gear's special ability is, aptly, Boost." Akeno smiled, "Essentially, it doubles things. Imagine, for a moment, that you have a hundred magical units. A hundred magical units will, if you use all of them in a single spell, get you a single cast of low-mid spell. But with a Boost, you now have two hundred magical units."
"And if you Boost again, you'll have four hundred. Then eight hundred." Izuku's jaw was slowly unhinging, "What the hell?! That's broken! It's exponential growth for your own power!"
"And it doesn't stop at magical power!" Lavinia bounced excitedly, "It doubles everything! Speed, strength, endurance!"
"That's crazy!" Aika yelled, shocked out of her mind. "How the heck can this tiny thing do that?"
Lavinia was the one who responded, "Well, it's because it contains the soul of Ddraig, also known as the Welsh Dragon and the Red Dragon Emperor of Domination."
"DRAGON?!" Izuku and Aika yelled out, with Izuku looking very excited.
Akeno giggled, "Ara, so cute. You're in sync." Rias's eye twitched again, "The Red Dragon Emperor is one of the two Heavenly Dragons, the two beings that fell just shy of being full Dragon Gods, and who were more powerful than the Dragon Kings. The two were rivals and constantly fighting one another, and developed two unique abilities. The Welsh Dragon had the power to endlessly double his own power. To counter it, Albion, the Vanishing Dragon developed the ability to endlessly halve the power of his opponent. The two of them fought endlessly… until they interrupted the war between the Three Factions. While they were more powerful than most gods and the Satans of the time, they were not more powerful than the Big G himself." She avoided saying the word, not wanting to feel that spike driving into her brain, "They were killed, and their souls sealed into Sacred Gears… one of which you're holding right now."
"Holy crap." Aika stared at it in awe.
"And that's just the regular Boosted Gear. Who knows what this thing can do?!" Rias wanted to dance.
Who knew indeed?
-[-
"What a day." Rias smiled, "Productive, but-" She then eeped as she was picked up, "Oooh, bridal stylEEEEEE" She squealed as Izuku tossed her on their bed. "Izuku, what was that…! For?" She blinked in shock as Izuku tore his clothes off, revealing his rock-hard erection.
"It wasn't as bad as the Devil, but that doesn't mean absorbing her didn't affect me." Izuku growled, his tone so full of lust that Rias shuddered.
The redhead had approximately four milliseconds to go through mental calculations before Izuku snapped his fingers and her clothes exploded from her body. A nervous giggle erupted from her, "Ehehehe…I'm in danger."
Yes, Rias, you are.

And here we are! Hope everyone enjoyed! For anyone who wishes to read on, chapters 6, 7, and 8 are available on my pat re on for early access.
And yes, I went with Boosted Gear Aika. I had so many hilarious ideas for her it was absolutely irresistible. Now, where is Issei, I'm sure some of you are wondering. Yes, he exists, and no, he's not dead. He's not relevant yet even as of the current latest chapter, but he will be eventually. And yes, he'll have his own girls.
Next month's update will be Thunderous Soul chapter eight, and again, early access for everything is available on my Pat re on. Just google my username. And if you're eager for more Supernova, I FINALLY got my muse to focus for a tiny bit and will be posting chapter 17 on patty tonight as well. Sadly, Skypiea has hands, so the inspiration didn't last long.
