Draconis: Let get started (yawns)
Kenshin: Work still beating the fuck out of you?
Draconis: Like a punching bag but I'll be alright.
Draconis: Also, we're finishing volume 20 in this chapter no matter how long it is.
Dragon of the Elements
Chapter 129
At Everything's End.
(start)
While Kenshin and Ragnarok fought, as Yukari battled Yama, while Vali, Granberia and Katerea fought Rizevim. Issei found himself floating through a Dimensional Gap like place. "Is this...reality? No...No this doesn't feel real. Did that Shinigami bastard hit me with an illusion Ddraig?" Issei thought.
Suddenly he found himself in a hospital room. Inside were a doctor and a very familiar male and female couple. "This is like when Kenshin and I saw the world in Akeno-San's heart when we fought Loki..." Issei thought. "They look like Mom and Dad when they were younger...is this Mom and Dad's memories? Am I subconsciously using pailingual on Mom?"
Before Issei could think further on this, the doctor and my parents wore somber expressions.
"I'm...very sorry, please give up on the child in your belly." The doctor said.
Hearing this, Miki burst into tears while Gorou woefully supported her shoulder. "...This is a scene from one of Mom's miscarriages?"
"The scene changed and Miki was sitting on the couch of their old home. Miki was still crying. "Hee...hic! I'm sorry my dear..."
Gorou brought Miki into his arms. "Don't worry about it. Even if the unborn child in your belly is very unfortunate, we can't give up, you can definitely give birth to our baby."
The scenery changed again as he heard Miki say. "Two years later there was another opportunity." Miki said as she was stroking her own belly with a joyful expression.
"This is great! We finally did it! It's OK! Everything's OK now!" Gorou said.
Issei watched as Gorou and Miki bought numerous books on birth and childcare, they had purchased an excessive number of books and were then immersed in reading them to ensure their child's successful birth. However, when they went back to the OBGYN's department. He solemnly explained to the despairing pair.
"Hyoudou-San, although it's painful for you, it's absolutely not your fault. There are many other factors." The doctor said before being cut off as Miki and Gorou left. The doctor sighed dejectedly.
On their way to their house Gorou stepped in front of Miki with tears in his eyes. "...I...I give up Miki. I'll still make love to you, but I think we should stop trying for a child. If you do get pregnant I'll support you, but if I remain hopeful for one and this happens again I don't think I'll be handle it."
Miki hugged Gorou. "I understand, we still love each other, but we can't take these constant heartbreaks." Miki said as she cried against Gorou's chest. "I love you too. I don't think I can take it either."
"However, in our eighth year together." Miki's heart said.
"A-A baby? ! R-Really? !" Gorou said before grabbing Miki by the shoulders. "This time for sure, this time we definitely have to give everything we've got to give birth to this child!"
Miki happily cried, tears rolling down her cheeks. Gorou would constantly have his face buried in childcare books, Miki would constantly be mindful of her diet. Whenever Miki would try to lift something heavy Gorou would rush over and stop her and do it himself. They even visited specialized agencies. One snowy night however, Gorou was barefoot in a certain shrine, he didn't care however as he had already completed Hyakudomairi. "Please! Please make sure! Please make sure that my unborn child will be delivered safely!" Gorou would make this prayer over and over again.
Months rushed by as the scene changed to Miki laying on a hospital bed, in her arms, laid a brown haired baby boy suckling on her right teat. "It's a baby boy." The nurse said.
"Ah...I see...it's really my child..." Gorou said, still in disbelief.
Miki wiped her eyes with her free hand as she lied in bed the child suckling her. "Yes, it's the baby of you and me...it took eight years." She said as she handed the baby off to Gorou.
Gorou smiled with tears rolling down his eyes. "...It's nice to meet you,I...I'm your father." The baby's eyes met Gorou's and his tears intensified as he continued to smile. "Thank you, that you were born...really...thank you!"
"Gorou, have we decided on a name?" Miki asked.
"How about Issei? That embodies the hope that he will be able to live an honest life." Gorou said.
"My dear, that isn't very creative." Miki scolded playfully while tired.
"W-Well!" Gorou said. "That was all I could think of after we tried so hard!"
"Relax. I wasn't scolding you for it...Issei...that has a good sound to it. Issei, my child." Miki said.
"Our child Issei..."
Issei felt the warmth of Gorou and Miki hugging him. Issei remembered that at night his Dad would read him picture books when he couldn't sleep. When the animals were sad and when he read a sad story. When he was in the ER with a high fever. Gorou had ended his trip early to hurry back as quickly as he could. "In primary school I ran together with Dad in the three legged race, yet we only made third place. " Issei thought as a memory flashed by of Gorou, Miki and Issei eating fried chicken and tamagoyaki together.
"On Father's day, I remember buying Dad a rather cheap tie, and on Mother's day I gave Mom a floral apron from home ec class, but the two of theme still treasured those. I could see it" Issei thought.
The last scene was Issei on the verge of tears. He was standing alone in a department store. Issei was attracted by a strange item. However Miki and Gorou had went onward, thinking Issei was still with them. However Issei didn't cry, or at least tried not to. He decided to stand at the clock tower and wait.
Eventually Gorou and Miki did find him and immediately embraced him. "Hey Issei, you worried me to death!" Miki said.
"Hey, Issei! Didn't we say that you shouldn't leave our side? !" Gorou scolded.
"I'm sooooorry! I'm soooooorrrrry!"
"..." While he was battling Ragnarok. Kenshin felt an influx of memories. It had been after he had saved Konoka when he was younger and being possessed by Ryuujin's Avarice and at the time, the powers of Yama, the Shinigami. "D-Dad why are you yelling at me? !"
"I'm sorry Kenshin, but you could have gotten killed! I'm just worried about you!" Ryuushin said.
"But Kono-Chan was in danger! I saw strange men running off with her!" Kenshin complained.
"Aah..." Ryuushin paused before reaching over and petting Kenshin's head as Yukari looked on impassively. Having just been saved from Hottan Ialda a couple of days ago. . "Kenshin. You were very brave, but please don't do that if you don't have to ever again."
"O-Ok." Kenshin said.
"Why am I remembering this?" Kenshin thought before glancing at Issei, who still had a crimson aura surrounding him. "Aah, I see, it's through our shared connection between Ophis and Great Red and the Boosted Gear."
Back with Issei he was crying. "Although their lineage wasn't special, nor were you wealthy, I was the child which you two endured and struggled to finally have. You've thought I was dead for months, but I'm not! I am still Hyoudou Issei!"
The scene shifted to Asia entering their family. Miki smiled. "Y'know supposing that we had a daughter back then, if we were really able to give birth to a daughter, it might be like how we're living together with Asia right now. I often think that...especially since..." Miki looked away sadly before shaking her head. "Well we have our nephew Kenshin to help ease that pain." (A/N: Issei is inside Kenshin's body in this memory.)
Asia smiled and said. "Father, Mother."
"Then we became a family of four or five, and another person, before we knew it, there were many people. Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Yukari, Miyuki, Hikari whom acted as a second mother. Xenovia, Irina, Rossweisse, Granberia, Alma, Erubetie. Kazumi, Chachamaru, Tamamo, Sextum, Yuuma, Mana, Konoka, Setsuna." Gorou said. "My dear."
"What is it?" Miki asked.
"It's no longer just the two of us." Gorou smiled.
"Indeed." Miki smiled back. "We got another son and we have many more daughters."
"To be able to live such a vibrant life, I'm truly happy." Gorou said.
"The twenty five years that I spent with you Gorou, although it's been very long, perhaps it was all for this." Miki said.
"I want to watch for a little longer." Gorou said.
"Yes, if I could make a wish, I'd want to be able to continue to watch over this family." Miki said.
"!" Issei covered his eyes as he was ejected from the mental space. He knew of his parents' feelings as he woke up. He saw Yukari fighting Yama, while his parents protected him. He wrapped his arms around Gorou and Miki. "Hey, Dad, Mom...can I really be your child?"
Gorou and Miki nodded. "Of course, Issei is our child." They both said.
"Also, about Yuuma, or Raynare." Issei said.
"Oh don't worry Issei, we know." Miki said.
"About everything. Alice-San told us everything." Gorou said. "While we're upset with her, We want to clarify everything Alice-San told us."
Issei closed his eyes with a smile. "Thank you Alice-Sama!" Issei thought "Thank you..." Issei said before standing up. "Rizevim, Yama and even Ragnarok-San. Thanks to you I no longer have anything to fear! Yukari-San, I'm sorry, but can you take Yama on your own? !"
"Heh! Please, who do you think you're talking to? !" Yukari said as she shoved Yama backward.
"Grrhhh!" Yama growled with a smirk. "This is a bad opponent for me, even if I take her seriously, but still a fun one nonetheless." Yama glanced at Kenshin and Tiamat dueling against Ragnarok. "Haha, those two are in a hopeless situation once I initiate my plan." Yama grinned.
"What are you so chipper about? !" Yukari said as she punched him backward.
"Oh you'll know soon enough Yukari." Yama said as her fist tore through his body.
"? !" Yukari's eyes widened.
"Now to initiate my plan...your brother is as good as doomed." Yama said as he disappeared.
"!" Yukari gasped turning to where Draco was only to see Yama holding him by the neck. "No!" Yukari rushed toward them.
(break)
With Draco and Yama.
"Lightning Edge!" Draco shouted, driving the blade of one of the ends of his bow into Yama's chest. He leaped into the air and pulled back on the bowstring as multiple Phantasm clones appeared behind him, all drawing their bows. "Spikes Royale!" He shouted as he and his clones launched their bows. Lights of purple forming arrows and striking Yama.
The smoke cleared as Yama emerged unharmed. "Heheheh! Is that all you got Draco? !"
"..." Draco scowled and grabbed the handle of his bow and pulled it apart, the string pulling in half as a pair of handles dropped out from under them which Draco grabbed. "It's time...that I took this seriously."
"Oh? You mean you were holding back until now?" Yama mocked. "Is this all Taimu means to you?"
Draco growled ferally. "What did you do to her?"
"What did I do to her? Absolutely nothing. You're the one who got her in trouble with her mother." Yama coyly stated. "All because she wanted to be with you, instead of doing her job."
"Krrrrhhhhh!" Draco growled louder.
"You know, she was the first one to entreat Ilias to end the war, but Ilias refused saying and I quote. 'Taimu, I know you're only asking this because you're in love with Ragnarok's brother, but do you really think Alipheese, her six generals and the youkai will accept a clear surrender and not try to kill us anyway?'"
Draco could imagine Taimu's words. "I know they will! Draco Tsuki and I could appeal to the Dark Goddess on your behalf, to tell her you're sick of all the fighting and just want to live in peace away from each other."
"However..." Yama smirked. "I countered by saying... "I don't concur Ilias-Sama, she is clearly possessed by lust for Draco Tsuki." He said letting Draco view his memories.
"Is it wrong for a woman to be in love? ! It isn't lust!" Taimu shouted back. "Mother, is there something wrong with falling in love with someone? Surely you've fallen in love with someone! You have had to ever since Micaela left and Lucifina died to this bastard!"
Ilias looked on uncertainly. "Taimu's words hold weight. She might be possessed by her love for Draco Tsuki, but even I can tell it's a pure love." Ilias thought. "But...haaa..." Ilias closed her eyes letting out a sad sigh. "Taimu...I-I don't want to do this to you, but..." Ilias thought before she cleared her throat. "I'm sorry Taimu, but I cannot trust your word alone. Many of my angels are concerned that if we did have a ceasefire, we'd open ourselves up to attack." Ilias said.
"Aren't you willing to fight until Makai and the Divine Realms are reduced to ash? !" Taimu screamed.
Ilias turned away, a sad look on her face. "Taimu...I've already rethought that front, but...after losing Lucifina, I'd let myself to be reduced to ash." She thought. "Yes...but I'm tired of losing my daughters over it." Ilias said. "That ultimatum I gave them earlier was just a bluff. I didn't think they'd actually take it."
"Then! Come on mother! Let us go to them and tell them we desire a mutual surrender!" Taimu said.
"I'm sorry Taimu...but Yama is unfortunately right." Ilias said while sparing a glare at the Shinigami. "We...need to go through with this."
"No we don't! The youkai, our angels they're crying out for this war to end!" Taimu said only for Yama to laugh.
"Well then let them cry! They want us dead Taimu! Give me a break with this merciful weeping!" Yama said.
"Mother, please listen to reason." Taimu said as Ilias looked conflicted.
"No, listen to good reason. Alipheese and her Six Daughters need to be dealt with." Yama said. "As for Ragnarok, let me deal with him."
Ilias glanced at Yama...before slowly nodding, shocking Taimu. "Mother? !"
Ilias walked past them both. "There's nothing more that can be done. Yama, do what you need to do." Ilias said. "I'm so sorry Taimu. I understand if you hate me for this." Ilias thought.
Draco's eyes widened as he saw these memories. "SO YOU WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SEALING OF ALIPHEESE AND THE SIX GENERALS!" Draco yelled.
"INDEED! COME ON DRACO, DON'T YOU HATE ME FOR THIS? !" Yama said as the two of them fought.
"Grrhhh!" Draco growled as he threw his hands out in front of him. "Stunning Strikes!" He said firing off red shots of the dual bow pistols he was wielding. He waved his arms outward. "Unicorn Rush!" Draco shouted as a trio of red horses with horns on their heads appeared behind Draco and rushed toward Yama.
"Gaaahhh!" Yama yelled out before looking up above, seeing Draco leaping into a spin above him.
"Leap Tornado!" Draco said shooting all around Yama, making the arrows explode.
"Grrrhh!" Yama growled only to look forward to see Draco with a large ring behind him.
"Heh! Eat this! Ishtar's Ring!" Draco shouted with a smirk as numerous arrows of magic barraged him.
"Eat that shit you fucking bastard!" Draco said "Now tell me where Taimu is!"
"Rather not." Yama appeared in front of him and grabbed him by the throat. Yama smirked. "I'm glad you showed up Draco. You have something I want."
"? !" Draco glanced at the fight between Kenshin and Ragnarok.
"Yeeeeeeessss. See right now. My powered down brother and Kenshin are evenly matched." Yama said. "So I need something to tip the scales in my favor."
"No! No! No!" Draco said thrashing around as Yama gripped his throat. "Let me go damn it! I won't let you have Ragnarok's key!" He turned his head to Yukari who just had her second Yama clone disappear. "YUKARI! HELP ME!"
"!" Yukari rushed toward them.
"It's too late." Yama said pressing his hand against Draco's body before yanking it back as a white formation ripped off of Draco's body and formed onto Yama's
"What's that?" Yukari asked.
"Krh..." Draco growled. "I got careless due to my anger. That's the key to Ragnarok's Malak Seal."
"What? !" Yukari shouted in shock.
"I'm sorry Yukari, he got in my head." Draco growled.
"I have to go help him!" Yukari said flying toward Kenshin only to get smacked back to Draco. "Krh? !"
"You're not going anywhere Yukari." Yama said. "Kenshin-nii's all on his own." Yama said before forming a handsign.
"? !" Draco's eyes widened before turning to Kenshin. "KENSHIN! RAGNAROK'S SEAL HAS BEEN BROKEN!"
(break)
With Kenshin.
"Haaa!" Kenshin roared. "Flash Kill! Tornado!"
Ragnarok, who was above him roared back. "Heavenly Demon Revival!" Their two blades met...kinda. Kuroi Jigoku and Angel Halo struggled against each other, but a sphere of pure energy formed between the space between their two blades. "Krh!" Kenshin growled.
"Grrrhhh!" Ragnarok growled.
"Amazing...the both of you are evenly matched." Heinrich said.
"I know. This is the full power of Ragnarok outside his Malak Seal?" Kenshin thought. "It's...simply...unbelievable!"
"Haa!" Kenshin and Ragnarok both yell as an explosion forced them both apart.
"Haa...haa.." Kenshin panted.
"Haa...haa...you're pretty good." Ragnarok said.
"Ha ha, thanks...I had great teachers." Kenshin said.
"Ah, so I see my self made arts were passed on." Ragnarok mused as he landed back on his dragon body which had been dueling Tiamat.
Kenshin landed back on Tiamat's head. "How are you doing?" He asked.
"Better than I expected actually. When you two split off, surprisingly due to Ragnarok's connection. I still had to fight his dragon form, apparently he can detach from it and have it still fight." Tiamat said.
Kenshin glowered. "I see...so we're evenly matched." Kenshin said as he glanced all around him. Issei had joined the fight against Rizevim, much to Vali's and Granberia's chagrin.
Miyuki and Negi had joined in their respective fights, however he noticed the Yama clone Negi attacked disappear while Miyuki joined the fight against Rizevim.
"Haa!" Tiamat rushed Ragnarok's dragon body who rushed back. They deadlocked arms as Kenshin and Ragnarok flew out of the Tenrai Sesshou Yuurei around their dragon bodies as they fought. "Come on old man is this all you got? !" Kenshin asked as they clashed.
"Hahaha! You're surprisingly arrogant for someone who isn't sealed!" Ragnarok said.
"Heh!" Kenshin smirked. "That's because I know how you fight thanks to your scroll that you left with the Gremorys."
"Hahaha! So they kept it I see!" Ragnarok laughed. "Now!"
"Gah!" Kenshin said as Ragnarok kneed him in the chin and thrusted Kuroi Jigoku at him. "Inferno Pulse! Focused Point!"
"Guah? !" Kenshin felt searing heat stab through him. Kenshin however stabbed Shiroi Tengoku at Ragnarok. "Katentou!"
"Huuuaaah? !" Ragnarok gasped out as he doubled over, the stream of blades piercing his body. "What is this? Kenshin found an offensive ability for my Shiroi Tengoku? He wondered before looking up. "? !"
"Katensho!" Kenshin roared slashing Angel Halo down at him.
"Guuuuaaaahhhh!"
"Heh! Take that you son of a bitch." Kenshin said panting softly. "Now..." He turned to Yukari's fight with Yama as he landed on Tiamat's head. "Stay here and fight Ragnarok's dragon body. I'm sure I've seal-? !" Kenshin jumped out of the way.
"Flash Kill! Tornado!"
To Kenshin's shock Ragnarok shot by him with a wide smirk. "You thought you had defeated me? ! Fool! It will take a lot more than that to seal me!" Ragnarok bragged.
"Damn it..." Kenshin growled. "Tiamat, I'm sorry."
"Don't apologize." Tiamat said. "I knew what I was getting into here." Tiamat said. "I merely asked so I'd know the severity of my situation." Tiamat said.
"I see..." Kenshin said before noticing Ragnarok flying in. He leaped off of Tiamat and slashed at him.
"Krrrhhh!" Ragnarok growled.
"Grrhh!" Kenshin growled as he fought against Ragnarok, their blades dueling against each other. The same sphere of pure energy. Kenshin and Ragnarok both smirked as they glared at each other.
"Grrrhhhh!" Tiamat slashed Ragnarok's dragon body across the face, before flipping Ragnarok's body over and lurching her neck over and biting into it "Hrrrhhh!"
"Grrrhhh!" Ragnarok growled trying to resist Tiamat ripping his dragon form's cervical.
"Keep it going Tiamat!" Kenshin shouted as Ragnarok pumped mana into his dragon body to defend it. He forced his blade downward, sending Ragnarok flying backward, rushing him in hot pursuit. He went into a spin and slashed at Ragnarok's right flank with Angel Halo only for Kuroi Jigoku to meet it, Kenshin however smirked and unsheathed Shiroi Tengoku.
(clench!)
Ragnarok grabbed the blade before Kenshin could slash him with it with his bare hand. "Grrrrhhhhh...!" Both Kenshin and Ragnarok growled.
"Damn it, at this rate I won't be able to knock him out so Yukari and Miyuki can chart his apparatus!" Kenshin thought.
"Well maybe you don't have to." Salamander said.
"Huh?" Kenshin thought.
"Get away from him and..." Salamander whispered, thinking Ragnarok might be able to hear her.
"...Salamander...th-that's brilliant!" Kenshin thought as he jumped away from Ragnarok.
"Retreating are we? !" Ragnarok said pursuing Kenshin.
"That's right come to me." Kenshin smirked. As soon as Ragnarok was in reaching distance Kenshin let Ragnarok tackle him as he wrapped his arms around Ragnarok's neck and left shoulder and pulled back, his grip like a vise.
"Hrrgh? !" Ragnarok strangled out a growl as he pulled against Kenshin's arms as Kenshin's legs wrapped around his waist.
"Yukari, Miyuki! Come here, quickly!" Kenshin shouted.
Yukari was too busy with Yama, but Miyuki tried to come toward Kenshin only to get batted backward by Rizevim. "D-Damn it! I'm sorry Onii-Chan but I'm a little busy at the moment!"
"Aggh! Fine!" One of Kenshin's tails flicks a substitution stencil out of one of his seals, but before he could activate it he heard Draco shout.
"KENSHIN! RAGNAROK'S SEAL HAS BEEN BROKEN!"
"? !" Kenshin's eyes widened as Ragnarok started breaking his grip. "No!" He struggled to maintain it, but to no avail.
"Haaaa!" Ragnarok roared as he not only broke Kenshin's hold, but threw him backward.
"? !" Kenshin caught his bearings before immediately looking up only to receive a knee to the face knocking him back further.
"Kenshin!" Tiamat shouted only for Ragnarok's dragon body to shove her backward. "What? !"
"I see...so Yama stole the key to my seal." Ragnarok said looking down at his hands. "Kenshin, this isn't how I wanted to do this, but I no longer have a choice."
"Yes you do! Fight Yama's influence off!" Kenshin shouted.
"I can't..." Ragnarok said. "Kenshin, in order to defeat Trihexa everything must be sacrificed."
"? !" Kenshin's eyes widened in shock.
"Dad, Daddy, Father, Papa?" Undine, Sylph, Salamander and Gnome all said, also in shock.
"Krh!" Kenshin shook his head back and forth. "So...So if I wasn't the one you reincarnated into, I'd just be...just be one more sacrifice? !" He threw his left arm out to his side. "What the fuck are you even saying? ! What about Alipheese? What about the Yonseirei? ! You love them don't you? !"
"..." Ragnarok closed his eyes. "I do...love them, but Alipheese...was more...a passing fancy to me." He said. "And Sylph, Gnome, Undine, and Salamander...were more...pets to me." He appeared in front of Kenshin and put his hand on his shoulder. "I hate him, but Yama is right about one thing. To save the multiverse people like us need to kill our feelings and attachments to others."
Kenshin batted Ragnarok's hand away with a venomous glare, feeling the Yonseirei's despair and sadness. He even heard Sylph and Gnome crying. "Keep your FUCKING hands off me!" Kenshin snarled. "What you just said has the Yonseirei in TEARS! What kind of father calls his children PETS? !"
"Kenshin, we owe it to existence to give everything we have to save it. Why do you think God let me destroy his body?" Ragnarok asked.
"I've given ENOUGH!" Kenshin roared. "My entire fucking life I've been giving and giving and giving! I'll save existence my own way! Without having to give up those I love!"
"..." Ragnarok stared hard at Kenshin. "Very well...but I can't let you interfere with our plan." He said "Kenshin, Sylph, Gnome, Undine, Salamander...Alipheese...I am truly sorry...but I need you all to hate me. Yama will never allow you to break the control apparatus he has on me...so I need to be killed again...and my corpse need to be burned." He thought before closing his eyes. "So you insist on standing in my way?" Ragnarok said.
"I'm fixin' to be the wall you'll never get around." Kenshin growled. "I'm gonna make you fuckin pay for making the Yonseirei cry."
"So be it." Ragnarok said as he lunged forward in the blink of an eye and stabbed Kuroi Jigoku at him.
"Earth Guard!" Kenshin shouted making the nodachi scratch off him, but not before knocking him backward. He felt a presence behind him and turned only to get slugged to the floor by Ragnarok.
At the same time Ragnarok's dragon body had Tiamat pinned to the floor. "Grrhh! Get off me!" She roared throwing the dragon body off and the two fired their dragon breaths at each other. "Damn, his breath attack is so powerful! I can see why Ddraig and Albion struggled against him!"
Kenshin got to his feet as Ragnarok landed behind him. "Eat this! !" Kenshin yelled as punched at Ragnarok's face.
(clench!)
Ragnarok caught his fist and squeezed it painfully. "A-Aaagh!" Kenshin shouted painfully. Ragnarok pulled Kenshin in close and gripped him by the throat and threw him a very short distance in the air, before grabbing Kenshin's leg and slamming him to the floor before chucking Kenshin as he turned around.
Yukari saw Kenshin go flying by her and shouted. "Kenshin!" She said trying to pursue him when Yama cleaved his scythe past her.
"I'd worry more about myself there Yukari." Yama said with a smirk.
"Krh! Kenshin needs my help right now, but I'm too busy with this insane bastard!" Yukari thought.
Kenshin finally stabilized himself and immediately did a backflip as Ragnarok sailed under him. "Damn it Ragnarok, people keep comparing us to each other, but I would never willingly do what you're doing! Hurting people that I love? ! Can you even begin to imagine what Alipheese is going to feel like when I tell her what you said? !" He said as the two traded sword slashes before Ragnarok decked him in the face before driving his knee into Kenshin's chest.
"I don't care." Ragnarok said punching him across the face twice.
"Grrhh! D-Damn it! Is this truly how strong Ragnarok is? ! No, is he still holding back since his Malak Seal got released? !" Kenshin thought.
"!" Kenshin caught himself and interlocked hands with Ragnarok. "You know I can feel what Sylph, Gnome, Undine, Salamander are feeling right now right? !" He ripped his hands away and grabbed Ragnarok by the temples. "You can feel it as well can't you? !"
"G-Grrhhh!" Ragnarok growled. "Does it hurt then Kenshin? Well let's see how you deal with THIS!" Ragnarok yelled as he reared his fist back, wreathed in the elements and punched Kenshin in the face.
Kenshin tumbled backwards painfully and landed on his knees. He had a look of great conflict on his face. The orbs on his shinguards lit up and Slyph's voice came out with a cry. "Daddy, why are you doing this? ! You're strong, you can resist that guy's control! Why won't you? !" She sobbed out.
The orbs on Kenshin's chest lit up. "Don't do this Papa...we don't want to lose you or Kenshin!" Gnome sniffled.
"Grrrhhhhhh" The orbs on his arms lit up as Salamander growled. "That's all we were to you in the end Father? Just pets? Just experiments? !"
The orbs on Kenshin's forehead glew as well. Undine's voice resounding with despair said. "Dad..." She said before letting out a sigh. "...I hope you know...that we all are in love with Kenshin."
"I know...and after I kill him. I'm going to take the power I bestowed upon you four back. You'll be able to be together in the Pure World." Ragnarok said. "After all, what's another few thousand years to me? I can always make new spirits."
"!" Kenshin heard Sylph, Gnome, Undine and Salamander all gasp, and heard multiple sobs. His eyes narrowed in absolute fury. "HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT! ! !" Kenshin roared as he uppercutted Ragnarok before slamming his fists into Ragnarok's face multiple times. "I'm going to make you pay for that Ragnarok! !" He said bearing down on Ragnarok, his fist cocked back. "EAT THIS! !" Kenshin roared.
(clench!)
Ragnarok grabbed him by the wrist and slammed him to the ground. "..." Ragnarok glared indifferently at him.
"Kaiser Phoenix!"
"? !" Ragnarok threw Kenshin away before jumping out of the way himself as a massive bird shaped conflagration shot toward them.
(boom!)
"Damn, I was hoping to get both of you too."
Ragnarok and Kenshin turned to see a woman with ruby red eyes, long blonde hair with a blue bow tie in the back. She wore a blue dress and a frilly white apron. Ragnarok narrowed his eyes. "Who are you?"
"Oh? The first Demon King himself asks for my name? What an honor." The woman mused. "I am Alipheese Fateburn the Eighth, more commonly known as Black Alice." She said, curtseying toward Ragnarok.
"? !" Kenshin's eyes widened. "Black Alice? ! I was having a hard enough time with Ragnarok alone, but now I gotta contend with him and her? !" He thought.
"The Eighth?" Ragnarok stated curiously. "Alipheese's blood line made it all the way to eight?" He asked.
"Actually it made it all the way to sixteen, soon to be seventeen, thanks to this one here." Black Alice said with a carefree smile as she pointed at Kenshin.
"Hrn...I see..." Ragnarok said.
"Anyway, you're a little old for my tastes Ragnarok Kuroshi. Let me sample this youngling." Black Alice said turning toward Kenshin.
"!" Kenshin went on the defensive
A mass of tentacles shot toward Kenshin from under Black Alice's dress. "Destructive Wind Shell! !" Kenshin roared as sharp winds sliced them all up. "If you think that's gonna be enough to do me in, think again you Alice in Wonderland lookin' bitch!" His wind shell lost effect as Black Alice shot toward him, her hands grabbing Kenshin's temples.
"? !" Black Alice's thoughts traveled backward, to when she first met a certain swordsman by the name of Heinrich. "Hello! Nice to meet you, my name is Alicetroemeria!"
"That's... a weird name." Heinrich said.
She froze. "U-Um...what's weird about it?"
"W-Well, it just sounds like your mother smashed two words together and hoped for the best!" Heinrich said.
Time shot forward. Black Alice stood in front of Heinrich on the deck of a ship. "You will have to deal with many problems as the Demon Queen..." Heinrich smiled. " I just want you to know that no matter what I will be there for you. I will always be by your side."
Black Alice stepped back with a wide eyed blush, but took a breath and sent Heinrich a resolute look. "Do...Do you really mean that?"
"..." Heinrich smiled. "With all my heart and soul."
Black Alice glanced away, not speaking for a minute. "You know..." She finally said "We've been through a lot...if this became a story, nobody would believe it."
"I know..." Heinrich said. "All that matters is that we believe it."
Black Alice looked up into Heinrich's eyes. "Gaah! I can't deny it anymore! Heinrich! I love you! !" She cried out.
"? !" Heinrich gasped for a moment before he smiled. "Alice...no...Mary Fateburn...I love you too."
(flashback end)
"..." Kenshin stared into Black Alice's red eyes. "Your name is Mary?" Kenshin asked.
"Mmh..." Black Alice nodded. "So...So many memories of Heinrich and I together came flooding to the front of my mind." She said as she sobbed softly.
"..." Kenshin looked down at her with a conflicted gaze. "Heinrich...what should I do here?" He asked.
"..." Heinrich went silent.
"..." Black Alice looked deep into Kenshin's eyes. "!" She let out a gasp as Kenshin's hair washed over with the color purple and his eyes morphed into a blue color. "!" She wrapped her arms around Kenshin's neck and kissed him.
"Mmmh? !" Kenshin said as Black Alice's tongue invaded his mouth. "H-Heinrich. Is there any particular reason why your Alice is currently trying to fuck my face with her tongue?"
"I...I have no idea." Heinrich said with a surprised look. "Does she see me in you?" He wondered.
Black Alice pulled away and laid her head against his chest. ""Mmmh..." She smiled, hearing Kenshin's heartbeat.
"U-Uhm...you...you do realize I'm not Heinrich right?" Kenshin asked.
"I do." Black Alice said looking at him with a smile.
"Then why did you-" She kissed him again.
"I can sense him inside you. If you feel it, he can too." Black Alice said.
"..." Kenshin smiled. "I see. You were kissing me to kiss Heinrich." "Heinrich, is this true?" Kenshin thought.
"Actually...yeah. That's why I didn't say too much when she did it." Heinrich said.
"I know how much you loved Heinrich, so it's OK." Kenshin smiled. "So are you on my side now Mary?"
Black Alice blushed a bit at being called by her birth name but smiled. "Sure, but who is our enemy."
"The first demon king." Kenshin said pointing at Ragnarok.
"Aah..." Black Alice said. "I see...the chosen mate of the Dark Goddess herself. "
Kenshin stepped next to her. "He was revived against his will by the Shinigami."
"Hrm. I see, just like me." Black Alice said.
Ragnarok stared at them both. "So are you two ready to go?"
"I don't know Mary, are we?" Kenshin said as his aura surrounded him.
"Hmhmhm." Black Alice giggled. "Of course we are."
"Also." Kenshin said. "My Mother finished repairing your teddy bear. If you come with us. We can give it back to you." Kenshin said. "It looks brand new."
"Oh?" Black Alice smiled. "Thank you! I'm happy to hear that Beary is OK!"
Kenshin smiled back. "I'm glad to hear that you're impressed with my mother's work!" He said with a wide smile.
"She healed a dear object or friend of mine! Of course I'm impressed!" Black Alice said smiling back at Kenshin.
"Are you two done yapping at each other?" Ragnarok said with a neutral look.
Black Alice, or Mary frowned. "We need to go into this with a plan."
"I have one, but it's risky." Kenshin said.
"Hm?" Mary said back. "What is it?"
"We need to attack one after the other." Kenshin said.
"..." Black Alice went silent before saying. "Understand that we'll basically be getting hurt for each other's sake."
"I know." Kenshin said looking over at Black Alice. "Mary, I'm willing to take an attack if it lets you land one."
Black Alice smiled and faced toward Ragnarok. "OK, I was just wanting to confirm your resolve." Tentacles started to pool from under her blue dress. "LET'S GO! !"
"Heh!" Kenshin rushed alongside Black Alice or rather Mary. "Ha! Mary I'm full of GO!"
With this said, Black Alice and Kenshin charged Ragnarok.
(break)
At the same time
With Yukari.
"Grh!" Yukari growled as she struggled against Yama's scythe. "Draco! I know you lost Ragnarok's Malak key, but could you come on? !" She yelled
"I'm trying!" Draco said as he smacked the upper hand of one of his bowguns against Yama's head only to get smacked backward by the handle of Yama's scythe.
"Flash Kill!" Yukari shouted shooting by Yama, only to look back and see Yama disappear.
"Haaa!" Draco aimed at where Yama appeared "Piercing Storm!" He shouted, shooting numerous bolts of energy at Yama.
"Heh!" Yama spun his scythe to block the assault
"Chihayaburu Ikazuchi!"
Yukari and Draco's eyes widened as Negi tackled into Yama, wreathed in lightning. "Haa!" Yama slashed her away and smirked, glancing at Kenshin and Ragnarok dueling. "I see, so the champion has bowed out...well farewell to his parents then."
"Farewell to nothing!" Yukari shouted.
"I'm going to stop you here and now!" Negi yelled.
"Haha, sure you will." Yama said. "Come on my former vessel!"
"Hrrrrhhh!" Negi growled as she charged Yama. Negi swung her halberd at Yama's scythe, swinging a bolt of lightning at Yama. "Now Yukari!"
"Right!" Yukari shouted, diving over Negi stabbing Ryuuga at him. "Hellfire Flash!"
"Yeaaaaaaaggghhhh!" Yama cried out in pain.
"Heh!" Yukari smirked. "!" Her eyes widened as Yama exploded from the smoke left from her attack.
"Come on Yukari, did you really think that would put me down? !" Yama said as he started spinning his scythe. "Bloodstorm Revoluti-!"
"Haaaaaa!" Negi rushed forward and stabbed her halberd at him, making him fly backward.
"Heh." Yama smirked. "You cocky bitch."
"Hmn!" Negi smirked back. "You were trying to kill my sister in all but blood, of course I'm going to save her!"
(Clash!)
"Huh? !" Both Negi and Yama looked over, seeing a figure with red, almost maroon colored hair, wearing a white lab coat, a black sweater, skirt and stockings. "Aaah, hello Promestein." Yama mused.
"Grh..." The scientist angel glared at the Shinigami. "Don't call my name so casually you bastard."
"Aww come on, such hostility from an ally." Yama casually mocked.
"You're no ally of mine!" Promestein snarled.
"Whoa whoa, I remember Setsuna telling me about you, what's going on here?" Yukari said. "Why are you two standing against each other?"
"He's done something absolutely UNFORGIVEABLE!" Promestein shouted.
"Oh? Well why don't I go ahead and show off the unforgivable thing I've done." Yama said as a figure appeared from behind him as he swung his hands out in front of him. It was a woman who wore a series of bandages around her body, with two pure white angel wings a dull halo over her head and a golden ring around her body.
"Who is that?" Negi asked with narrowed eyes.
"The second Seraph of Ilias, Lucifina...or accurately...her corpse." Promestein said.
"Using corpse puppetry to defile the dead again I see..." Yukari growled.
"? !" Negi turned to them wide eyed. Then she looked back at Yama. She felt like she was going to be sick. "Th-That's horrible!"
"Hahahahaha! God damn it's funny everytime I see the first reaction!" Yama laughed. "Besides Prommy where do you get off criticizing me? ! Isn't one of your Seekers of Truth the necromancer I had bring back Yukari's slain kin? !"
"Krrrh!" Yukari growled.
"Also Yukari, if you survive this battle. I need you to deliver a message to brother dearest." Yama said. "Every battle he's going to be involved in that concerns me...will grind away at him. You see. I could bring back Shin Tatsu. I could bring back that fool Heinrich if you all hadn't burned his body. I could find some of daddy's DNA and have a body made from it and use him against you all, but the fact remains...that I merely don't have any interest in such things. It's Kenshin's turn to be a victim of my actions."
"..." Yukari had the elements surround her limbs as she scowled. "I'm going to start killing you now."
"I'd be insulted if you didn't at least try." Yama said with a wink.
"Flash Kill!"
"..." Lucifina moved in front of him creating a sword of light to counter. (A/N: She's still a puppeted corpse, but I don't feel the need to pound that fact in. So she will just be referred to as herself.)
Yama raised his left hand at Negi who was charging in at lightning speed. "Death Wave!"
"!" Negi's eyes widened as a black mass of skeletons rushed toward her. She began to chop through them with her Chihayaburu Ikazuchi when Promestein rushed in with a sword of light and helped her out. "Aah! Thanks!"
"Of course. I'd use my Next Dolls here, but they would just get taken down by that man." Promestein said.
Yukari growled against Lucifina's blade. "Is...there still a consciousness in there...?"
"..." Lucifina didn't reply.
"It's no use trying to talk to her Yukari, she's long dead." Yama said.
"Hey Promestein!" Yukari said. "I'll try to preserve her body, but if I have to destroy this corpse I will!"
"That's fine!" Promestein said.
"Krh...!" Yukari growled. "No matter what." She thought. "I have to get this Lucifina out of my way." She thought as she jumped back.
"Ah ah ah!" Yama flexed his index and ring fingers.
Lucifina rushed Yukari sliding into a familiar stance. Yukari's eyes widened in shock. "That's? !" She shot toward Lucifina in turn. "Flash Kill!"
Yukari ground Kazeken against Lucifina's holy blade. "So you copied Ragnarok's attacks huh Yama? ! You biter!"
"Hahaha! Other way around actually Yukari!" Yama said.
"?" Yukari looked down at Lucifina.
"You see. Ragnarok actually admired Lucifina's fighting style so much he copied her. Flash Kill, Heavenly Demon Revival, Ninefold Rakshasa? All invented by Lucifina! I just know which nerves and impulses in her brain to touch to make her do them!" Yama laughed.
Yukari jumped back and glanced over. Negi and Promestein were still dealing with the wave of endless skeletons, she turned back to eye Yama warily. "So I'm on my own huh?" Yukari thought. She glanced at the fight between Kenshin and Black Alice against Ragnarok. "Eh? Why is the...Eighth Demon Queen, Black Alice helping Kenshin?" Yukari thought before shaking her head. "No matter. I'll have to entrust him to you for now Black Alice, but if you hurt him, your ass is mine!"
"Done thinking to yourself? Good!" Yama shouted as he flexed his middle fingers and thumbs.
Lucifina leaped into the air, her holy sword over head. Yukari's eyes widened and shot toward her stabbing at the literal fallen angel. "Flash Kill!"
A bright flash erupted from them both. "Haaaa!" Yukari roared as she forced Lucifina back to the ground.
"Tch, so this Demigod State gives you more power than her?" Yama scoffed. "Useless corpse."
"No." Yukari said. She pointed Ryuuga at him. "Lucifina the woman was probably an amazingly strong angel, if the stories from Micaela are anything to go by. Ragnarok probably liked her moves and decided to borrow them. She was said to be a nice merciful angel outside of battle, but merciless when in battle, yet she never liked to kill, that's why she made the Angel Halo Kenshin's wielding right now!"
"You've yet to prove your point Yukari." Yama mocked.
Promestein rushed forward, clashing against Yama's barrier. "The point she's trying to make is that what you're wield is just her body, you could never hope to mimic the power of the Daystar!"
Yama looked over at Promestein with disdain. "And you could never hope to equal my power, even with science."
"? !" Promestein felt a power of pure death exude from Yama, turning everything around him to dust and ash. "Wh-What?" Promestein said as she stepped back. "The Artificial Spirits nor the White Rabbit Serum would help me here." She thought.
"Like it? This is my power Prommy, Brother lover." Yama mocked. "This is the power of the aura of Death I exude. Luckily for the Gremory girl she doesn't have the aptitude for it, or else everyone around her wou-"
Negi's fist slammed against his cheek, sending him flying back. Negi growled, lightning crackling around her fist as she sent Yama flying. "Good luck killing lightning you bastard!" Negi shouts before panting. "Damn...I'm still not at one hundred percent yet."
A massive aura exploded out of where Yama landed and he walked out. "Don't you get it?" Yama said walking out of the smoke of their attacks. The three sixes covering his eyes and forehead. "God threw me to the corruption now the corruption's all I am! Die a hero or live long enough to become a villain God had to spit." Yama said as a dark gray aura surrounded him. "I've become evil incarnate, even that brat Rizevim would be jealous!"
Yukari was joined by Negi and Promestein. "So what do we do?" Promestein asked.
"One question, are you truly on our side, or is this a partnership out of convenience?" Yukari asked.
"The only thing I want is to be able to tell Ilias off for imprisoning me when I gave her humans fire." Promestein said. "I know she's under your umbrella. I was always planning to betray Qilpphoth."
"Very well, but you owe my brother Kenshin a favor to be mentioned later." Yukari said.
"We need a plan." Negi said.
"Hrm..." Promestein grunted.
"What is it?" Yukari said as Promestein crossed her arms over her large breasts.
"I don't believe we'll be able to kill him right now." Promestein said. "At least in the fact that I don't know what he's doing. "
"No, we're gonna kill him here." Yukari growled.
"Then how about a triple attack?" Negi suggested.
"..." Promestein and Yukari stared at Negi.
"Listen, One would be to break Yama's defenses. I'm sorry Promestein-San, but could you take this role?" Negi asked.
Promestein frowned. "Lucifina was the only angel other than Micaela I respected even after Ilias imprisoned me for giving her humans fire. Of course I'll try to take her out of your way, but understand that I want Lucifina's body preserved."
"Why, so your necromancer friend ca-" Promestein slapped Yukari.
"No!" Promestein yelled. "I was OK with you destroying her body, but I want to at least lay her to rest again!"
Yukari was undeterred. "Alright I was just making sure."
"Hang on." Everyone turned to see Draco approaching. "Promestein, let me help you take down Lucifina."
"Draco?" Promestein said.
"Lucifina and Micaela would routinely cover for Taimu when she'd come to meet me. I'd like to lay her to rest as well." Draco said.
Promestein looked at him for a moment before nodding. "Give me cover. I'll handle the rest."
"Right, but what about your Next Dolls?" Draco asked.
"They'd get destroyed by Yama. I've already had to make extensive repairs to Tsukuyomi." Promestein said. "Enough though. That's our assignments. Decide your own." Promestein said as she and Draco both rushed forward. Draco charged forward first and leaped above Yama "Leap Tornado!"
"Ghh? !" Yama looked around seeing arrow bolts all ready to explode. "Now Promestein!" Draco yelled as the arrows exploded, obscuring Yama's vision with dust and smoke.
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Promestein rushed forward with a blade wreathed in holy fire and batted Lucifina away.
"Chihayaburu Ikazuchi!" Negi shouted as she tackled into Yama.
"Gaah!" Yama shouted as he was thrown back. He looked straight on to see Yukari charging him with Kazeken and Ryuuga surrounded in flames. She sheathed Kazeken as she got near him, the elements surrounding it. At the same time Ryuuga came unsheathed with the same elements. "Don't misunderstand! The elements around Ryuuga are weaker, but you aren't out of the woods yet!"
"!" Yama's eyes widened as Yukari stabbed Ryuuga forward.
"Elemental Dragon Breath!" Yukari shouts as a storm of the elements roared out of Ryuuga's dragon mouth shaped tsuba.
"Gaaahhhh!" Yama screamed out as he was engulfed.
Yukari rushed forward. "There's no way that did him in!" Yukari thought as she found Yama's figure unsheathing Kazeken, still wreathed in the elements. "Haaahhh!" She slashed him across the chest from the right, she brought her blade down and slashed him down the left, before turning it to slash him up the right. "Taste my blade of fury and hear my Lunar Requiem! !" She yelled finally releasing the elements swirling around Kazeken, watching them explode into the shape of a circle, a moon.
"Haa...haa...haa..haa..." Yukari lurched forward only to be caught by Draco. "Eh?"
"Heh." Draco smiled. "That was amazing Yukari. If you're worried about keeping pace with Kenshin don't be. You're there. You might be behind but not by much." Draco said.
Yukari smiled. "Thanks. Draco, that means a lo-!" She stopped as she saw a figure approach from the smoke. It was Yama, but he looked beaten down. "You're still alive after all that? !" Yukari shouted.
"Hahahaha. You don't have what it takes to kill me Yukari. Besides...are you sure you've killed me?" Yama asked.
"What do you mean? ! Draco shouted.
"What I mean is this." Yama said before his form morphed into the body of a dead man with a smile on his face.
"? !" Yukari turned only to see Yama assisting Rizevim against Issei, Vali, Granberia and Katerea. "Damn it!" She said trying to rush forward only to fall and be caught by Draco.
"Relax. You've had it. That Lunar Requiem took a lot out of you." Draco said.
"D-Damn it." Yukari growled.
"Yukari!" Negi landed next to her.
"Heal her, restore her mana." Draco instructed.
"Right." Negi said as Draco laid Yukari on the floor.
(break)
At the same time.
"Haaa!" Miyuki rushed forward and slugged Rizevim.
"Gaah? !" Rizevim shouted out.
"Miyuki-Chan? !" Miki shouted out as Issei still stood with a crimson aura around him.
"Heya, Auntie, Uncle. Y-Yeah, I'm a devil." She said before kicking Rizevim away before smiling shyly.
Miki smiled back. "It's OK, we know everything. We're just waiting for Yuuma-San's confirmation. Alice-San told us everything."
"Oh?" Miyuki closed her eyes with a smile before leaning back as Rizevim stabbed at her. "Nice try." She said before backflipping back toward Vali and Granberia.
"Why are you here?" Granberia asked with a curious voice.
"Because Onii-Chan is handling Ragnarok. Belial retreated." Miyuki said.
"Well, any idea for how we fuck up my grandfather?" Vali asked, still out of his Balance Breaker.
"Hrm..." Miyuki stroked her chin in thought. "Granberia, I need you to start charging up the Quadruple Giga."
"But that will leave me as a sitting duck!" Granberia shouted.
"That's what Vali, Katerea and I are for! We'll defend and heal you!" Miyuki said.
"She's right! I have your back!" Katerea said.
"Alright, break!" Miyuki said as she and Vali shot toward Rizevim.
"Oh? ! Vali, you and your old girlfriend seek to challenge me? !" Rizevim said with a smirk.
"We may not be together anymore, but I'm still his friend!" Miyuki said punching at Rizevim's face. "And you're gonna pay for what you did to him!"
"Oh am I? ! Who's going to make me pay? ! Your flat chested ass? !" Rizevim laughed.
Miyuki scowled at this and had the elements surround her fist. "Elemental Spica!"
Her fist crashed against Rizevim's barrier. "Hahahahaha! Your punch is like your bust, sorely lacking."
"Grrrhhhhhh!" Miyuki growled. "Eat this!" She punched at Rizevim again. This time her punch shattered Rizevim's barrier.
"Gaaaahhh? !" Rizevim shouted as he was driven back. "!" He looked up as Vali bared down on him with the same elements surrounding his fist. "You really think I'll let you? !"
Vali met Rizevim's barrier with his fist. "No, I don't, good thing I got help!" Vali said as a green aura surrounded him as a second fist smashed against his barrier.
"!" Rizevim looked over and saw Miyuki with her fist crushing his barrier. "No!" Rizevim growled as he blew Miyuki back with his mana.
"Heh." Miyuki said as Granberia rushed by her with Ares covered in the elements.
"G-Grrrhhh!" Rizevim growled louder.
"Haaa!" Issei rushed in, punching at Rizevim.
"Oh come on!" Rizevim said blocking him with a barrier as well.
"Oh don't sweat it Rizevim-bocchan, I got this." Yama said. "Decay!" He shouted, extending his hand toward Issei.
"? !" Issei gasped as his armor rusted and fell apart as he was slugged backward by the Shinigami with a kick to the chest.
"Thanks for that Yama, but my Sacred Gear Canceler still had this." Rizevim said as blood coughed from Issei's mouth,
However, Issei smirked beneath his helmet. "Rizevim, Yama! Thanks to you, I no longer have any fears! No, the current me is invincible!"
"? !" Rizevim and Yama's eyes widened as the gems of Issei's Balance Breaker emitted a bright light, brighter than before.
"? !" Ragnarok and Kenshin paused their fight to observe this. "Amazing..." Ragnarok said.
"Whoa...he's almost on the level I am now." Kenshin said.
"Oooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Issei roared.
Yama actually looked worried. "Yo Rizevim!" Yama said extended his hand toward Issei. "Decay!"
Issei's armor rusted off and Rizevim kicked him in the abdomen. "Die!"
"Haa!" Vali slugged Rizevim in the chest.
"Hrrrggh! I'm...I'm almost ready!" Granberia shouted
"Issei! Issei! Issei-San!" Issei glanced back at the three members of his family. Miki, Gorou and Asia.
"Uuuaaaaaaaaaaaaagggghhhhhhhhh!" Issei roared.
Yama and Rizevim slugged Issei to the floor despite this, however Issei climbed back up and rushed Rizevim.
"Haaaaaaa!" Miyuki shouted, rushing Rizevim as well.
"Right behind you Miyuki!" Vali said as he and Granberia with the elements covering Ares rushed in
"Stay back Granberia! Not yet!" Miyuki said.
"Well when am I supposed to do it? !" Granberia asked.
"You'll know when." Miyuki said.
"Seriously kid will you give up? You're doomed here. Look forward to living in the afterlife with your family." Yama said as Rizevim smacked Issei backward.
"Don't give up Issei! Keep going!" Miki said. "I'll keep picking you back up as many times as I need to!"
"In that case I'll go ahead on with you, stop messing with my son!" Gorou said punching at Yama who dodged.
"Do you seriously not know who I am?" Yama said as he swung his scythe at Gorou.
"I DON'T THINK SO! !" A figure rushed forward, blocking Yama's scythe with a bowgun.
"Tch! Draco!" Yama growled.
"I'm gonna constantly be that bug up your old ass!" Draco said aiming his other bowgun at Yama, firing red bolts at Yama.
"Aaagggh!" Yama yelled out as red arrow spikes stabbed into him. "Damn it Rizevim. I was not ready for this shit. Fuck you!"
"What? !" Rizevim said as Issei's fist broke through his barrier, despite his exhaustion.
"Haaaaaa!" Rizevim looked over and saw Miyuki pursuing after Issei broke his barrier. "Yama where are you going? !"
"To fuck your mother~ Fuck you for getting me involved with this!" He said as he disappeared and reappeared in front of Ragnarok who was still fighting Kenshin and Black Alice, better known as Mary Fateburn.
"Krh! Get ready Mary, this guy ain't no one to fuck with." Black Alice growled in response as purple tentacles began to slip out from beneath her dress.
"I know, this is the man that drove me to insanity, that caused me to lose Dinah, my friends and Heinrich!" Black Alice said.
"Dinah?" Kenshin said.
"The name of my little sister." Black Alice said.
"Actually Alice-Chan, Kenshin, I'm not sticking around." Yama said before leaning over to Ragnarok. "Finish whatever it is you're doing here, because I know you're just playing with them and come on."
"Tch...fine." Ragnarok growled.
"Tata for now~!" Yama said as he disappeared.
"Grrhh!" Black Alice growled angrily. "YOU AREN'T GETTING AWAY!" She said moving to pursue him.
"Mary!" Kenshin said wrapping his arms around her, holding her back.
"Let me go! Let me go! He's the reason I lost everything! !" Black Alice screamed.
"Grrrhhh! Never let it be said you didn't earn your title as Demon Queen!." Kenshin growled as he struggled to hold back the thrashing Black Alice "Heinrich, I'm going to give you control of my voice, talk some sense into her!"
"Right!" Heinrich said.
"Mary!"
"? !" Black Alice froze. "H...Hein...rich?"
"Mary..." Heinrich said. "I...understand how you feel, trust me I do. That's why I charged Ilias' territory demanding his head, but please...don't make me watch you fall under his control or die again...please..."
Black Alice's body shook heavily in Heinrich/Kenshin's arms as tears rolled down her eyes. "I-I know! I know I can't make you watch that again, but what he made me do to you, to Makai, it hurts so much!" Black Alice cried out.
"I know! Trust me I know." Heinrich said. Kenshin took back over. "Mary. I get it, trust me I do. I've been getting forced to do shit I've never wanted to do since I was ten years old, but if you go after Yama, I promise you, that you're walking into a trap."
Black Alice's breathing slowly calmed. "Haa...haa...Heinrich, Kenshin...thank you." She said with a small smile.
The two of them went to land back onto Tiamat's head. "You good Tiamat?" Kenshin asked.
"Hrmph...who do you think I am?" Tiamat said while nursing bleeding wounds.
"Those wounds look serious." Black Alice said. "Here, let me-"
"I don't need it." Tiamat grunted. "Focus on yourselves. I WILL defeat Ragnarok's dragon."
"Sure you will!" Ragnarok said from his dragon body, reconnecting the tendril. He smirked. "You're going to need all the help you can get Tiamat."
"Ragnarok!" Kenshin shouted. "I will make you pay for what you said about Sylph, Gnome, Undine and Salamander and you will APOLOGIZE! !" He said as his elemental aura exploded around him.
Ragnarok narrowed his eyes neutrally. "Let's see you do it."
"Fine then!" Kenshin shouted, the elements surrounding his arms, completely focused on making Ragnarok pay as they exploded toward each other. Kenshin was above Ragnarok as he swung Angel Halo downward. "Heavenly Demon Revival! Gaia!" "Please Gnome, help me!" Kenshin thought.
"!" Gnome nodded from within him.
"Flash Kill!" Ragnarok said as they clashed.
(boom!)
"!" Kenshin and Ragnarok's blades weren't even touching, but a large sphere of energy formed between them. "Grrhhh..." Kenshin growled.
"Amazing..." Black Alice said in awe. "Their power is matching each other."
"!" Everyone's battles paused as the powerful aura exploded off each other, creating a massive burst of wind.
"Damn!" Granberia stabbed her still glowing sword into the floor. Vali came over to her and hung on. Miyuki dug her hands into the floor, while Rizevim and Issei held their ground. Negi created a barrier for her and Yukari while Draco reformed his single bow and stabbed one of it's bladed ends into the floor and knelt to keep his position.
"Heh!" Kenshin smirked. "Nice to know where I stand with you old man." Kenshin said.
"You really think you know where you stand with me boy? !" Ragnarok said slashing him backward.
"Grh!" Kenshin caught his ground and saw Black Alice rushing in,
"Eighth Demon Queen!" Ragnarok bellowed as he slashed apart her tentacles. "Is this the best you can do? !"
Black Alice scowled. "Lambda Spark!" She yelled sending a massive charge of lightning at Ragnarok.
"Oh please!" Ragnarok shouted as he stabbed Kuroi Jigoku forward. "Tornado Stab!"
"Hang on! I'll-" Black Alice said.
"Hang on I have this!" Tiamat said as she inhaled. "Haa!" A breath of lightning met Ragnarok's Tornado Stab, discharging it.
"Fool! I still have an attack left!" Ragnarok said as his dragon body exhaled a massive wall of multicolored energy.
"? !" Tiamat's eyes widened. "Kenshin! Black Alice get off of me NOW!" She yelled.
"? !" Kenshin and Black Alice did as she said and hopped off of Tiamat.
"You see Tiamat? ! Your breath attack can change into the opposing element of the one attacking you, but how does it work when more than one element is attacking you? Doesn't work so well does it? !" Ragnarok said.
"TIAMAT! !" Kenshin yelled as she was engulfed by Ragnarok's breath attack. He rushed toward her as the blast ended leaving Black Alice to contend with Ragnarok and his dragon body.
"Grrhh!" Black Alice growled and wrapped her tentacles around Ragnarok's dragon body, trying to hold it back.
"G-Ghh!" Ragnarok growled with a smirk. "Never let it be said that you and Kenshin didn't earn your positions!" He said.
"G-Gghhh!" Black Alice dug her heels in as she held him back.
Meanwhile Kenshin landed in front of Tiamat. "Hey, Hey! Tiamat talk to me!"
"Gghh..." Tiamat reverted to her human form which was heavily battered and bruised.
"Hey!" Kenshin said running up to her.
Tiamat opened her eyes and smiled. "Oh? You're worried about me?"
"Of course I am!" Kenshin said. "You're one of my friends!"
"..." Tiamat's smile widened. "Hmhmhm...I'm glad, but I need to take a break." She said before reaching up and pulling Kenshin into a kiss. "Thanks." She said before she disappeared.
"Krrhhh!" Kenshin growled as he looked up at Ragnarok who was brutalizing Black Alice.
"Kenshin! Save her!" Heinrich shouted.
"Right!" Kenshin said as he knocked Ragnarok away. Black Alice stared at him wearily. "You...saved me?"
"Of course I did." Kenshin said with a smile. "I'll always save a person in need. Take a break."
(clang!)
Kuroi Jigoku and Angel Halo clashed as Kenshin turned to Ragnarok. Kenshin scowled, gritting his teeth. "Tiamat and Mary are no longer your problem. Your opponent is me now!"
"Very well!" Ragnarok said.
"Lightning Sword Flash!" Kenshin yelled as he stabbed at Ragnarok with Angel Halo, who dodged easily.
"? !" Ragnarok's eyes widened as Kenshin stabbed Shiroi Tengoku at his dragon body.
"Katentou! !" Kenshin yelled as a spray of blades shot out of Shiroi Tengoku's sheathe. "Grind it to dust!" Kenshin yelled.
"What? !" Ragnarok yelled as Kenshin's blades grinded his dragon body down to nothing. "Grh? !" He turned back to Kenshin who smirked.
"Now we're on even playing fields." Kenshin said. "You and me Rok! You brought back in this world who better to take my last breath!"
"Yes, just the way I want it. I don't care if I can't summon my dragon body ever again." Ragnarok said as their blades met again and again as both of them used Ninefold Rakshasa.
"Krh!" Ragnarok smirked. "You've truly mastered my techniques, or should I say Lucifina's techniques."
"What?" Kenshin said as they slashed away from each other.
"Flash Kill, Heavenly Demon Revival, Ninefold Rakshasa?" Ragnarok said. "I learned them all by watching Lucifina in battle!"
"But wasn't-!" Kenshin was driven back by a Flash Kill from Ragnarok.
"She was a nice person in general, but in battle and war, she was absolutely ruthless to anybody who would dare fight her." Ragnarok said. "Aside from Yama, I fought her a lot. I won a lot too, but damn was she relentless, but then again so was I." Ragnarok said with a smirk.
"Grrh!" Kenshin let Ragnarok slide off his blade and turn around clash blades with Ragnarok again. "Kkkrrrhhhhhh!" Kenshin growled.
"Kenshin. I have a plan to defeat both Yama and Trihexa." Ragnarok said.
"!" Kenshin's eyes widened. "What? But why would you care now? You said that you didn't give a fuck about the spirits or Alipheese."
"I was lying! Alipheese, Sylph-Chan, Gnome-Chan, Undine-Chan, Salamander-Chan are the most important people to me." Ragnarok said closing his eyes. "I was trying to make you all hate me, but I see that's impossible, My power isn't lessening!"
"Dad?" Undine appeared behind Kenshin.
"Daddy?" Sylph said appearing behind Kenshin.
"Father?" Salamander said appearing behind Kenshin.
"Papa?" Gnome said appearing behind Kenshin.
"My daughters..." Ragnarok said with a smile. "Please forgive what I said earlier. I meant none of it." He said.
"Daddy! I knew you loved us!" Sylph cried out.
"..." Gnome closed her eyes, but continually wiped them.
"Dad..." Undine said.
"Father..." Salamander said.
"I know what you want to say and I understand." Ragnarok said before raising his head. "Kenshin, you better make them happy!" He said.
"Always!" Kenshin shouted. "What do you want me to tell Alipheese? !"
"That her Dragon will always love her! No matter where he goes!" Ragnarok said. "We'll meet again Kenshin and I hope you can put me down then!" Ragnarok said as he disappeared.
Kenshin fell to a knee, only to be helped up by Black Alice. "Are you OK?" She asked.
"Yeah...are you?" Kenshin asked.
Black Alice smiled. "Oh I'm fine. I just need a minute of rest is all."
Kenshin smirked wearily. "Cheeky woman." Kenshin said as they turned toward Vali, Granberia, Miyuki, Issei and Katerea against Rizevim.
"Should we help?" Black Alice asked.
Kenshin shook his head with a smirk. "Nah, they got this."
"This is your strongest form, I was told you even bested the Dark Goddess like this." Black Alice said.
"He's stronger. I can sense it. I need more training in this form." Kenshin said. "Not against Rizevim, but against Yama and Ragnarok.
"Kenshin!" Kenshin turned and saw Tamamo coming toward them, however as soon as the kitsune's eyes landed on Black Alice, she sped up to attack her.
"!" Black Alice moved out of the way and Kenshin restrained Tamamo.
"Kenshin let me go! You don't know what she ca-"
"Tamamo, Same Side!" Kenshin said. "Mary's an ally!"
"How can you expect me to believe that? !" Tamamo said.
"She tried to attack me at first, but when she touched me physically, her memories of her times with Heinrich came back to her and we started fighting Ragnarok together." Kenshin said. "She actually saved my ass a few times." Kenshin said.
Tamamo stopped struggling and stared at her. "Is this true?"
"Yes." Black Alice said with a short nod. "I promise to explain myself later. Then you can make your decision."
"Alright." Tamamo nodded.
"Also, she kissed me." Kenshin said.
"Huh?" Tamamo said.
"I feel Heinrich inside him. I did it to kiss him." Black Alice said.
"Aah." Tamamo nodded.
(break)
Back with everyone vs Rizevim.
Granberia ripped Ares from the ground after Kenshin and Ragnarok's clash. "Miyuki, when do I attack?" Granberia asked.
"You don't." Miyuki said.
"?" Granberia let out a curious sound.
"Come on Granberia." Miyuki said as she landed next to her. "Don't you think Vali deserves this chance?"
"Ah, I see what you want me to do now." Granberia said with an appreciative smile. "Letting me help him out."
"Yeah! I used to like him, you do too! Give him a hand!" Miyuki said patting her on the shoulder.
"Thanks Miyuki, this means a lot." Granberia said, smiling with her eyes closed.
"I know, just after this..." Miyuki pulls Granberia toward her and whispered into her ear.
"!" Granberia's cheeks got darker and darker. "Are you sure you're not like Alma?"
"I'm not." Miyuki smiled. "But come on Granberia, you can't tell me you haven't wanted to." Miyuki said.
"...I see what you're doing." Granberia said with a smile of her own. "Thank you."
"Not at all!" Miyuki said. "I love Onii-Chan. Let yourself love Vali!"
"...!" Granberia closed her eyes and smiled widely. "Thank you, Miyuki." She said, her golden eyes staring into Miyuki's purple irises. "I'll always."
"I know you will sister." Miyuki said with a smile. "Just wait for an opening."
"!" Granberia's eyes widened for a moment before Salamander's voice resounded in her head.
"It's OK Granberia." Salamander said with a smile. "Miyuki is being absolutely genuine." Salamander said. "She and Kenshin both care for you like a sibling."
Granberia closed her eyes with a smile. "So...is this what it's like to have a family?"
Rizevim was getting legitimately angry as Issei kept rushing him. "Hey, why can you still get up? ! How can you oppose me? ! You exhausted your energy long ago, why keep getting up? !"
Katerea surrounded Issei in a healing aura as Issei continued to rush Rizevim, but even she could admit that this was becoming painful to watch as Rizevim sent Issei flying with a kick. Said healing aura was buffed by Asia who nodded toward her. Gorou and Miki picked Issei back up and he charged Rizevim again.
Rizevim's eyes widened in realization. "I see, your parents are the driving force behind your power! Well!" Rizevim disappeared from Issei's sight. "Then allow me to kill them!"
"? !" Kenshin's eyes widened as Issei's legs buckled and Rizevim appeared a distance away and fired a blast of mana at them and Asia. "Mary! Tamamo let's go!"
"Right!" They both said.
"Grrhhhh!" Kenshin, Tamamo and Black Alice all met the attack, blocking it. Miki's eyes widened in shock. "Kenshin? !"
Kenshin turned his head with a smile. "Hey." He said. Even while blocking the attack. "Everything that was said about me was true." He said with a sad smile." He said as he continued to block the attack. "I'm not proud of it, but you deserve to know who I really am."
Gorou smiled and Miki giggled. "Kenshin, you, in a way saved our son's life. I don't care who you used to be! You're a fine man now!"
"Kenshin, don't be too hard on yourself. " Miki said with a smile. "You protected your family. The person who loves his family and friends. That's who you really are."
"!" Kenshin stared in shock at Miki and Gorou. "But I...con-"
"No, don't do that to yourself." Gorou said with his hands on Kenshin's shoulders. "Alice told us everything. If not for you, Issei wouldn't still be here. Thanks to you, Issei has his own body again."
Kenshin stared at them before saying. "Yuuma, or Raynare is truly sorry for what she did. She really does love Issei."
"Oh Alice told us that too." Miki said.
"We just want her to confirm it." Gorou said.
"Asssssiiiiaaaaaaa!" They all heard Issei cry out.
"What? !" Kenshin said.
"No!" Gorou yelled.
"Asia-Chan!" Miki shouted.
When the attack Rizevim had launched toward Asia had rushed toward him to protect them. Kenshin's eyes widened. "Asia! !"
"I'll protect them!" Black Alice said
"I'll help you then!" Tamamo said extending her hands forward.
"Damn it!" Kenshin said as his left eye began to glow.
However as all this happened. A grand golden light was emitted from Asia. It shaped into a dragon. "Shit!" Rizevim said attacking the dragon, but his attacks had no effect against this dragon's aura.
"Fafnir? !" Kenshin said. "Are you sure you can handle this? !"
"I don't care if I can't! No one hurts her on my watch!" Fafnir yelled.
"Fafnir! I have to protect Father and Mother! Please help me do so!" Asia said.
"Right!"
"Shit! Is that a sort of Balance Breaker?" Rizevim growled in frustration. "I don't fucking get it!"
"You seriously don't get it?" Kenshin asked.
"What is going on? !" Rizevim seethed. "What exactly is it? !"
"We possess something you don't. We're showing it to you right now." Kenshin said. "I showed it to you back in Makai."
"What is it? ! Love? ! Is that thing called love? ! Are you stupid? ! Those things are an illusion! A stupid lie!"
"Clearly it's not. I feel Ragnarok's emotions emphatically. You said hurtful shit to me about Alipheese, and then proceeded to drag Sylph's, Gnome's Undine's and Salamander's names through the fucking mud, which pissed me off even more, but I controlled myself and proceeded to beat your fuckin' cheeks in." He noticed Issei begin to stagger. "Hey Issei!" Kenshin said.
"K-Kenshin? !" Issei said.
"You better come back alive! I'm not telling Miki and Gorou I let you die on my watch! Get the fuck up and put Rizevim on his ass! !" Kenshin said extending his hand at Issei was a green aura surrounding him. "Lust Healing! Asia help me out!"
"Right!" Asia said with Fafnir standing over her.
Kenshin's right eye began to flicker between gold and blue. "Damn it! Don't cut out now!" He said as he felt his body tensing up. "Tamamo! Can you help supply me with mana? !"
"Right!" Tamamo said putting her hands on his back. "Go ahead Kenshin. I didn't expend much energy on those evil dragons, I got you covered."
"Right, thank you Tamamo!" Kenshin said as he stared hard at Issei who was still getting beaten down by Rizevim.
"Issei. Kenshin."
Kenshin and Issei's eyes widened as they heard Ophis' voice. "Haa...I was able to reach you here. Lilith is here too." She said. "Since you can hear our voices, you must be satisfied at last." Ophis said.
"Satisfied? What do you mean?" Issei asked.
"I've taught it to Lilith, but sing it with me." Ophis said.
"Ophis, Lilith, please hold on. Let us speak." Ddraig said.
"Yeah." Salamander said. "We have some payback to dish out."
"Oppai Dragon, sing it with me." Lilith said with a smile.
"Kenshin, please do the same." Ophis said.
"Alright!" Kenshin and Issei thought.
"Yo Son of Lucifer you should rejoice." Ddraig said.
"Yeah, it's not everyday that anyone sees this move." Salamander said.
"You'll be the first guest." Ddraig said.
"Huh? Guest?" Rizevim said.
"Oppai Dragon sing it with me." Lilith said.
"Kenshin, you do the same, this won't last long, but it will make you evolve into your strongest form." Ophis said.
"That is why you should rejoice, such a chant is not one which you can casually listen to, you definitely need to clean out your ears, and listen with your heart. If you need to ask why, this is a unique chant that a Dragon God has created.
"Ahh...one of my precious fans." Issei whispered.
"Ophis...I won't disappoint you." Kenshin said appearing next to Issei.
"The Crimson Dragon dwelling within me, awaken from your dominance." Issei said.
"The Yonseirei, help me protect the nature you adore so much." Kenshin said.
A crimson glow was emitted from Issei's Boosted Gear, as Kenshin's eyes glew as all the jewels on his skin glew.
"The Crimson Heavenly Dragon I possess within me, become a king and roar.." Issei said.
"The Multicolored Yonseirei, the Dragon of the Elements help me evolve and evolve yourselves." Kenshin said.
"The Jet Black God of Infinity." Ophis and Lilith both said to Kenshin and Issei.
A Crimson aura surrounded Issei while a multicolored aura surrounded Kenshin as well. But a jet black aura surrounded them as well. "Watch over the forbidden existence we shall become as we shall become the being that transcends the boundaries."
Kenshin looked down at the jewels of his armor seeing the letters 'DXD' Issei noticed this as well. They both noticed that the 'X' was replaced with an infinity symbol as they both charged Rizevim. "Come on Issei, let's soften this fucker up for Vali!" Kenshin said.
"Right!" Issei said taking off after Kenshin
"Hey Rizevim." Kenshin said as he and Issei slugged him backward. Kenshin and Issei both smirked. "You're going to dance like radiance within our inferno!"
"Ahhhhhh!"
"D(infinity symbol) D x17 ! ! ! !"
Floating in front of Rizevim was Kenshin and Issei as the gems emitted the letters. D D with an infinity symbol in between.
"Dragon Infinity Drive!" Issei's armor resounded.
"Dragon God of the Elements! !" Kenshin's jewels resounded as he was layered with his Scale Mail again, this time the chest piece had the look of a roaring dragon. His headband was now adorned with horns on each side of his forehead. His arm and shinguards now had blades on them.
Kenshin looked down at his hands. "So this is the power I will eventually obtain...like Ophis said it probably won't last very long and I doubt I'll be able to use it again after this. Well...better make the most of it."
"Issei, we ain't got much time, let's run his shit!" Kenshin said as he took off.
"Right!" Issei said following and catching up to him. "Haaaaa!" They both punched at Rizevim who caught their fists and tried to cancel Issei's Boosted Gear so he could focus on Kenshin...so imagine his surprise when Issei's attack didn't weaken and both their fists slammed into his face, sending him on a painful tumble.
"Rizevim! You were getting your ass beat when I was a Demigod, so what do you think your ass is gonna do now that I've actually evolved into one? !" Kenshin shouted.
"Huh, I didn't even use Penetrate there." Issei thought.
"What the fuck was that just then? ! Why wasn't it invalidated? ! Did my ability not work? ! How is that possible? !" Rizevim shouted holding his face. "The Sekiryuutei's power should ha-"
"No, son of Lucifer, your ability did work." Ddraig said.
"Well why wasn't it canceled then? ! Even if it is a share of Ophis and Lilith's power, as long as it's the power of a Sacred Gear my Sacred Gear Canceler should still be able to disable it right? !"
"It's actually extremely simple. We've become like the Yonseirei in a way. Your ability to cancel is limited. Nature is limitless, infinite, well now our power has become the same. Infinite. Since it's a power that can't be entirely canceled...that would make things different would it not? See, your power has been working on Kenshin this entire time, but seeing as he's connected to the Yonseirei, to nature itself. It made your ability not even matter."
"!" Rizevim was stunned "To actually say that the power which was released is one which can't be completely eliminated by my Canceler...? !"
"That is Ophis...the so called Infinite."
Rizevim let out a regretful laugh. "That's basically cheating..."
"Maybe it is." Kenshin said as Issei wore a reluctant look. "But, Ddraig, Sylph, Gnome, Undine, Salamander, Ophis and Lilith gave us this power willingly, if you can't deal with it...that's your problem! Come on Issei!"
"!" Rizevim's eyes widened as Issei and Kenshin appeared in front of him. Issei punched him in the face while Kenshin kicked him in the chest.
"Guah? !"
"Not yet!" Kenshin elbowed him in the back of the head while Issei punched him in the stomach, lifting him off the ground.
"Fight back!" Issei shouted.
Kenshin and Issei slugged Rizevim back and forth. "Fight back motherfucker! !" Kenshin shouted.
Kenshin and Issei kept beating Rizevim down. "Fight back motherfucker!" Issei yelled.
"Fight back! Fight back!" Kenshin shouted as they finally knocked Rizevim backward.
"Haa...haa..." Kenshin and Issei both panted.
"Hahaha..." Rizevim laughed. "So you use the power to eliminate everything. It's something like I would do. This cheat which you've obtained by borrowing the power of Ophis, Lilith and those animist sluts. But do you really think that you can protect everyone just by defeating me?" Rizevim said. "It looks like you two can't hold those forms up for very much longer. Well then." Rizevim reached into his pocket.
"!" Kenshin's eyes widened as Rizevim pulled out an assortment of Phoenix Tears.
"I'll play the long game! I've got many Tears!" Rizevim said as he drank them down.
"Issei let's go!" Kenshin said.
"Righ-? !"
"Huh?" Kenshin said as he paused. "He's...not healing?" Kenshin said.
"What's going on? ! Why haven't my injuries healed? !" Rizevim said.
"Indeed, this is reality. But, it's already reached this point."
"!" Rizevim stared as Diehauser reentered the room. "Belial? ! You're the bastard who invalidated them? You completely invalidated the effects of the Phoenix Tears? !"
"My clan's Worthless ability could only be used against an opponent's ability, but objects aren't an exception either. As long as I know about it's form and substance, it can become Worthless. All the tears you hold have already been made worthless." Diehauser said.
"Wait, Diehauser...so you were playing the long con on Rizevim this entire time? !" Kenshin said.
"Yes." Diehauser said. "Ajuka-Sama knew they were mass producing Phoenix Tears. So I personally chose Raiser Phenex has one of my ten opponents so I could analyze Raiser and Ravel's mana. I am sorry I had to treat them so harshly, but I had to make it look convincing." Diehauser said.
"Then what about my regeneration?" Kenshin asked.
"I know how Youkai Regeneration works. I just don't know how your powers work...and I doubt I ever will." Diehauser said. "I'm just strong and my ability threw you off your game."
"Hm...in a Rating Game against him. Don't try to tank." Kenshin thought.
"And Alice?" Kenshin asked.
"She's safe. Your party is finishing mopping up the evil dragons and Nidhoggr is dead." Diehauser said.
"Alright...apologize to the Phenex family after this is over and explain yourself." Kenshin said.
"I fully intend to." Diehauser nodded.
Rizevim however was furious. "You even meddled in Qlippoth's affairs, you boy...!"
Kenshin turned to Issei as the latter laughed. "Y-You know. When you confronted Michael-San in Heaven. I thought you were indeed the son of the Satan Lucifer, and I was somewhat fearful of that..." Issei voice took on a mocking tone. "But...you're not being brave...you're just trying to imitate your father aren't you ossan? Your current demeanor is your original attitude."
Kenshin smirked as well. "Now I know why Sirzechs never whooped that ass. You ran...tail tucked between your legs like a coward. You were fucking scared of him."
"To think we've been getting threatened by a clown. I'm not some pretentious kid you know. I'm known as the Sekiryuutei!" Issei said
"Grrrhhh!" Rizevim growled angrily and released a massive burst of demonic energy and all of the wings of Lucifer opened up.
"Oh, you're finally taking this seriously? ! I wouldn't be surprised if you're using that third Sephiroth Graal." Kenshin said before turning his head to Vali and Granberia. "Let us get our licks in a little more. Then he's all yours." Kenshin said.
Vali smiled. 'Very well." He looked over at Granberia. "Why are you using that, that Quadruple Giga?"
"Miyuki wanted me to give my Ares to you to finish him off." Granberia said. "It's intense, but please don't break it."
"Don't worry, I won't." Vali said.
"Come on Rizevim is this all you got? !" Kenshin said as he and Issei dueled against him.
Rias and the others looked up at this as the three shot out of the tower. "Wait, that's Issei, Kenshin and Rizevim!"
"Don't worry Rias." Hikari said. "They got this."
"Issei stay back! Let me get some licks in"
"Right." Issei nodded.
"Haaaa!" Kenshin rushed toward Rizevim who brought his wings together. "Come on Rizevim, let's dance!" Kenshin said punching through his wings, knocking him back. Rizevim was undeterred but blinded by rage as he shot back toward Kenshin who smirked and crossed his arms.
Their attacks created shockwaves which destroyed various buildings, but Kenshin made sure to keep the fighting away from everyone.
"Oryaaaaaaaahhhh!" Rizevim roared as all of his wings shot toward Kenshin.
"Yume Shouheki!" Kenshin said as both his eyes glew as Rizevim's wings struck against it.
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!" Rizevim roared as he fired several massive attacks of demonic mana at Kenshin, which eventually knocked him back. However Kenshin smirked.
"You're up Issei!" Kenshin said.
"Right!" Issei shouted.
"Nuraaaaaaarrgghhhhhh!" Rizevim roared as he shot several massive shots of energy at Issei.
"Haaaaaahhhh!" Issei said punching them all away. "Someone like you is on the level of Sirzechs-Sama and Ajuka-Sama? Give me a break!"
Rizevim flew above Issei and smirked angrily. "Is that so? ! Well let me give you something massive in return! Your friends and family are below right? If you evade this then they'll die won't they?" Rizevim said as a massive aura exploded out of his body. Hell even if you're able to destroy this your family members in the Government Office will all be killed by the aftershock. "Dissaaapppeeaarrrr!" Rizevim roared as the six balls of energy circled around.
"Quadruple Giga! !
"? !" Issei looked back to see Kenshin and Miyuki both holding swords with smirks as a massive blast of energy obliterated Rizevim's attack.
"Thanks Miyuki." Kenshin said taking his dual bladed naginata back. He flew to where Issei was to see Rizevim with his wings damaged, blood seeping from his mouth. Rizevim was angry and uneased.
"Could it be that I'll end up like how Shalba and Cao Cao did, being defeated by you like this? !" Rizevim shouted.
"That's exactly what's going to happen." Kenshin said. His golden irises glowing.
"Shouldn't you have known when you got involved? Hyoudou Issei, Kenshin Kuroshi. They've always been in pursuit of peace and quiet...but still whether it's that descendant of the old Beelzebub, the leader of the Hero Faction, the former Demon King, Ialda Baoth, or even you, the son of Lucifer. You've all trampled over that without a shred of hesitation." Ddraig said. "So, there's no choice but destruction right? These are the Sekiryuutei and the Dragon of the Elements...actually no, something is a bit different from us. Like the armor and the spirits said it should be known as the Crimson Sekiryuutei Diabolos Dragon and the Dragon God of the Elements!"
Instead of appearing frightened, Rizevim laughed. "Kukuku, so you've become the new Super Devil Dragon Satan?' In that case I wonder if my grandson will become a Super Devil before long."
"? !" Kenshin and Issei's eyes widened as a teleportation circle appeared below Rizevim.
"But I'm not going to die here, so I will take my leave!" Rizevim said as he faded into the light of teleportation.
"I won't let you get away Rizevim!" Vali said flying outward with Granberia's Ares wreathed in the elements. He glanced back at Kenshin and Issei and nodded. "Impressive Hyoudou Issei, Kenshin Kuroshi, fighting for your family and loved ones, I was captivated by it."
"Right...go and get your revenge." Kenshin nodded.
"Good luck Vali!" Issei said.
Vali nodded and he took off. Kenshin and Issei dropped from their god forms and flew back to the government office. Kenshin approached Diehauser and said. "I know why you did what you did, but...it's still unforgivable." Kenshin said with a scowl.
Diehauser closed his eyes and opened his arms. "Dispose of me how you like...Kenshin you are right to do so."
Miki rushed over and slapped Diehauser. "To tell them to allow my family to suffer through such things, please, slapping you is a small price to pay!"
"I'm sorry..." Diehauser said. "What about you Kenshin."
"..." Kenshin shook his head. "You're regretful of your crimes. If I struck you down I'd be a criminal myself once again. No matter how many years it takes, please atone for your crimes. Rias, my fiancee wants to compete with you. Not only her, but Issei, Sairaorg, Sona and even I want to compete against you in the future. I'll wait out your sentence. So please...atone."
"Tch...I can't die huh? You two truly are crueler than anyone else." Diehauser frowned before looked down. "There is one thing...please tell me. I've heard rumors, you met Yaegaki-San and Cleria's souls in Heaven? Clearia she...what was her expression like?"
Issei recalled Cleria's expression as she held on to Yaegaki, he hadn't told anyone for fear of upsetting the balance, but felt it was OK to inform Diehauser. "She tightly embraced Yaegaki and she...had a very gentle expression!"
Diehauser let a stream of tears roll down his cheeks. "I see, I've lost."
Kenshin appeared in front of Diehauser. "Hey, I know what it's like to lose family members. People that I loved like siblings." Kenshin smiled. "I'm here if you ever need me. However, I still have to take you in."
"I understand. I'm ready to accept my punishment." Diehauser said.
Before anyone could say anything, Kenshin and Issei coughed up blood and fell to the floor.
"Issei-San? ! Kenshin-Onii-Sama? !
"Issei! Kenshin!"
"Issei, Kenshin!"
Asia, Gorou and Miki crowded around them "What is this?" Kenshin thought.
"I'm sorry Kenshin, but this is just the price you pay when you combine Ophis' power with ours." Salamander said.
"Partner, this is the price of power...Ophis' power is really too..." Ddraig's voice as well as the spirits voice drowned out.
"Hold on." Everyone looked over to see Black Alice approaching with Tamamo. "Tamamo is still defending us and my partner Promestein is helping to clean up the Evil Dragon's outside, but I can reawaken one of these two." She said.
Before Miki and Gorou could cut in, Miyuki stepped forward. "Wake up Onii-Chan." She turned to the Hyoudous with a smile. "Onii-Chan can take it, but Issei has earned a rest don't you agree?"
"Oh, that's what you meant." Gorou smiled.
"If Kenshin-kun can take it, let Issei rest." Miki said with a smile.
Black Alice put her hands on Kenshin's back and charged energy into him.
"? !" Kenshin's eyes widened as he pushed himself back up, panting. He looked over at Black Alice who smiled back. "Thanks." Kenshin said before sitting up and turning to the Hyoudous. "This is Black Alice, but she prefers to be called Mary." Kenshin said.
"Hello." Black Alice greeted.
Another figure with tan skin knelt down against Issei and began healing him along with Asia. "Excuse me. I'm Katerea Leviathan." She introduced.
"Thank you Katerea-San." Gorou said with a grateful expression.
"..." Katerea smiled as she continued to heal Issei. "Of course."
"Katerea." Kenshin said.
"Hm?" Katerea said.
"If your intentions are earnest, which I can tell that they are..." Kenshin smiled. "You're welcome to live with us, or if you want, I can pay for an apartment for you."
Katerea's smile widened. "Thank you, I'd like that."

Meanwhile.
Azazel was proceeding through a part of Agreas that wasn't going through combat and ran into a familiar face.
"Lilith?" Azazel said seeing the spawn of Ophis, Lilith appear in front of him with a smile. "Aniki asked me to show you the way." Lilith said.
"Is that right? Well here, A snack as we're on our way." Azazel smiled as he handed Lilith a chocolate bar.
"Thank you." Lilith said with a smile as she slowly bit into it. "Mmmh..." She smiled as she enjoyed her treat.
"Heheheh." Azazel said.
Lilith led Azazel to the power chamber. They both saw Rizevim appear in front of them. "You damn Sekiryuutei and Dragon of the Elements brats!" Rizevim shouted.
"Yo Rizevim, Kenshin and Issei hand you a hot ass whoopin' I take it?" Azazel asked.
Rizevim noticed them. "Lilith! Give me your power!"
"Lilith refuses!" Lilith said with a scowl. "You are Aniki's enemy! Lilith won't help Aniki's foes. He was right! Even if you created her. Lilith owes you nothing!"
"Hahahaha. Rizevim, you truly deserve this. Getting your ass beat by Kenshin and Issei while Vali is hunting you down." Azazel said.
"To see such an outcome and not be surprised. Truly you are the guiding hand that directs the two Heavenly Dragons and the Dragon of the Elements."
"Well, regardless of whether it was Shalba, or Cao Cao, both of them caused trouble and where eliminated. If there's a first time, then there'll be a second time, which is why the thought that Rizevim would end up like this naturally became stronger. Rizevim wore a look of displeasure.
"Your words are truly infuriating." Rizevim growled.
"No, it's not just that. It seems like your malice exceeds some of my expectations? You have both the Holy Grail and the Forbidden Fruit. However you're just too impatient. Reaching this point, it isn't an exaggeration to say that you're too eager to make this sudden move. Could it be that this is related to the dark circles on your face? Kenshin used to have those too until his lovers made him get on a regular sleep schedule."
"Yeah, well surprisingly, I'm also a delicate person... ah, Damn it. You were thinking the same thing as me. You're even more troublesome than the Sekiryuutei, Vali, Kenshin and their kind, and neither is it DxD in general, but just you."
"!" Azazel stepped in front of Lilith as two Dragon Gates. Azi Dahaka and Apophis in a human form as a brown skinned youth wearing black vestments. Apophis looked over at Rizevim surprised. "Your methods are too naïve Prince."
"Hahahaha! It would be better to say that your mental weakness actually brought you here."
"Mental Strength, like that of tofu!"
"All you got is an arrogant attitude!" All three of Azi Dahaka's head's shouted.
Rizevim let out a wry smile. "Will if it isn't Apophis and Azi Dahaka."
"Ah, Rize you don't look too bad as a salty plum right now."
"You really looked magnificent~"
"Ha, serves you right." Azi Dahaka's three heads said, making Rizevim's anger flare up as Apophis spoke. "Rizevim-ouji despite a lot of your care, it ends here and we will act on our own."
Apophis extended a hand forward and a single cup appeared in his hand. "? !" Azazel's eyes widened. "That's? !"
"I'll be taking this away with me." Apophis said holding Valerie's third Sephiroth Graal.
"..." Rizevim glowered. "The last of the three Holy Grails huh? I was hiding that in my own dimensional space...you guys asked about it, but now I see how it really is." Rizevim said.
"That's fine, as long as it's within the scope of magic...I'm better than you."
"I'm very good at powerful magic yo."
"You second rate Satan, no! Third rate Satan."
Azazel blinked. "Damn, they're really going in on his ass.
"As a result of Fafnir's curse you've experienced nightmares every night." Apophis said pointing at Rizevim.
"Meanwhile that ass whopping."
"That you took from Kenshin Kuroshi"
"Fucked you up in the head as well!
"As a result of Fafnir's curse, you experienced nightmares every night of being attacked by him, even before you challenged the Dragon of the Elements in Makai. Hell those dark circles around your eyes are too severe, in order to strengthen Lilith, you eventually became too anxious about preparing the plans for implementation. Even if you are known as a Super Devil, comparing you to the others is more than just one or two points."
"...You really know how to talk Apophis." Rizevim growled.
"Super Devil-Sama had no resistance in his dreams, so hundreds and thousands of times over he was killed by that golden guy."
"He was completely unable to transcend in his dreams! Even in the dreams against the Elemental-boya!"
"He simply couldn't release the curse within his dreams!" Azi Dahaka's three heads said.
Apophis sighed. "And because he himself has been being tormented, it caused him to be the stumbling block in his own plan. It's a fact that the curse was too strong for him. After all, he made a move against many unnecessary things."
"Yo, do you think you could give that Holy Grail to me, Apophis, Azi Dahaka?" Azazel asked,
"Impossible, Leader of the Fallen Angels. We are also quite interested in attacking another world." Apophis said.
"Going to fight the god of another world is very interesting."
"So very exciting!"
"I really want to take a look at a world that's never been seen!" Azi Dahaka said.
"Of course, their objective was the same even after severing their ties with Rizevim. Still the thought of these powerful dragons recklessly using the Holy Grail was terrifying." Azazel thought.
Apophis turned toward the nearby corridor before smiling slightly. "Well Rize. Seems like someone's coming for your soul. Goodbye for now, son of Lucifer. It'll be good if you die without any worries." Apophis and Azi Dahaka disappeared through the Dragon's Gate.
The next moment Vali landed in front of Azazel in full Scale Mail, wielding Granberia's element infused Ares. "So, Azi Dahaka and Apophis betrayed you huh?" Vali asked,.
Rizevim began to smile apologetically. "Ah wait, Vali-kun, I was wrong. I'm your grandfather right?" Have a little mercy on me." Rizevim said.
Azazel scowled. "Motherfucker I was more of a parent to him than you ever thought about being."
Lilith frowned as well. "Creator is being really pathetic."
"No doubt." Azazel said.
Vali looked down at him in disdain. "I might as well do this right." Vali said. "I who am about to awaken...am the Hakuryuukou who will take the law down to the darknesss."
Rizevim and Azazel both knew what Vali was doing. "These days, one of the necessary skills for young people is to care for the elderly, right?"
"I walk the road of domination with infinite destruction and by piercing through the imaginary dream." Vali said.
"Aah! I admit it, I've done everything wrong, bullying you was all my fault! Razevam loved you!" Rizevim said.
"I shall become a pure Emperor of the White Dragon." Vali said as his fist clenched tightly around Ares' hilt.
"Hey Hey, It's all my fault, whether it's money or a beautiful woman whatever you want, I'll give it to you, OK? !"
Vali bristled at this. "I already have a beautiful woman." He growled. "And I shall have you obey the silvery white illusions and the perfect evil ways!"
"Juggernaut Overdrive!"
Rizevim grew extremely worried. Vali was holding Granberia's Ares which was wreathed in the elements. He knew Vali was like Kenshin, a genius who could learn any magic in nothing flat. Even if his Sacred Gear Canceler would work against Vali. It would only cancel the abilities of Divine Dividing, not the rise in power it took to contain it. The problem was that Vali had no problems containing Granberia's Quadruple Giga as he glared down at Rizevim.
Rizevim turned to Azazel in desperation. "Azazel! What do you want? ! If it's money or something else that I can give...!"
"There's only one thing I want from you." Azazel said frowning. "Face your death with some pride. You were defeated by the Dragon of the Elements, Sekiryuutei and the Hakuryuukou.
Vali stepped across from Rizevim. "No Azazel. He was defeated by a human family and and expectant father protecting their mother and his unborn children.
"I see Issei, Kenshin your parents must know the truth about Raynare. I'll cover for her." Azazel said.
"Hey Rizevim." Everyone turned to see Kenshin walking up to Vali's side. "You are asking for mercy? Who are you to ask for mercy? How many times have people asked for it from you? How many times did you ignore it in the name of your 'fun'?" Kenshin glared down at him in absolute disgust. "How dare you ask for mercy, especially from Vali? !" Kenshin spat.
"Kenshin...?" Vali said glancing over at him.
"Vali, finish him. I just needed to get that off my chest." Kenshin said as he crossed his arms. "It'll be my pleasure to watch you kill him."
"Thank you." Vali said.
"No no, how can this be?" Rizevim said his eyes wide with fear. "Lilith! Lilith-Chan! Hurry up and protect me!"
"..." Lilith looked over at Kenshin who appeared next to her and pet her head. "Aniki." She said rubbing herself against him affectionately.
"Lilith!" Rizevim shouted.
Lilith glared at Rizevim in disdain. "Lilith already told Rizevim. She will not help him anymore."
"Accept your fate Rizevim." Azazel said.
Vali created a side arm sword and sliced off Rizevim's left arm without a shred of mercy. Kenshin meanwhile produced a cupcake from his seals and handed it to Lilith.
"Haaoomh..." Lilith ate it as she watched Rizevim get his arm cut off. "Aniki."
"Yes Lilith?" Kenshin asked with a smile.
"You were right. Rizevim was just using Lilith. Thank you for showing that to Lilith." Lilith said.
Kenshin smiled and hugged her with one arm. "Anytime Imouto."
Vali spoke with a chilling tone as he cast his side arm away. "Your life ends now you bastard...you made my father bully me, you caused my mother's fate..." He growled angrily. "DIE! !"
He slashed forward and launched the Quadruple Giga at Rizevim cutting him down the center as the elements exploded outward. When the dust cleared...Rizevim was no more.
Vali let out a sigh, feeling like a massive weight had been lifted from his shoulders. He looked over and saw Fafnir appearing.
"Where is that devil? !" Fafnir roared.
"I just killed him." Vali said.
"...I see..." Fafnir nodded. "I had wanted to kill him myself for making Asia-tan cry, but the Dragon of the Elements told me that you had a much better reason for wanting him dead...so I'll accept you killing him."
"Thank you Fafnir." Vali nodded. "I'm sure the nun girl wouldn't want you wrecking violence on her behalf anyway." He cast off his Balance Breaker and sighed. "Mom...and if it's true...even you Dad...I hope you find peace after this."
"Vali!" He turned to see Granberia running up to him.
"Oh, Granberia. Here I am done with your swo-? !" Vali was silenced as Granberia wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. His surprise even led to his mouth opening, allowing Granberia to slip her tongue into his mouth.
"Mmmh...Mmmh..." Granberia moaned softly as she kissed him.
"..." Kenshin smiled at this as did Azazel. "Go get your man Granberia." Kenshin said
Azazel saw Vali start to kiss Granberia back and chuckled. "When should I start planning the wedding?"
"Heheheheh." Kenshin chuckled.
Granberia and Vali pulled away and Granberia laid her head against Vali's chest with a smile. "Are you finally at peace now?"
"..." Vali smiled and held her close. "Yeah...I don't have that bastard's shadow hanging over me anymore..." He said.
"That's good...I heard what you said earlier...about already having a beautiful woman." Granberia said with a smiling blush. "You really think that about me?"
"Of course." Vali said, his hand caressing her cheek.
Granberia's green scaled hand cupped over his, closing her eyes with a sighing smile. "You really think that?"
"Yes." Vali said with a smile. "I screwed things up with Miyuki, but...I feel something stronger with you...almost like..."
"It was meant to be?" Granberia asked.
"Yeah." Vali said with a smile. "And Granberia...don't ever discount yourself...you're a very beautiful woman."
"Thank you." Granberia said laying her head against Vali's chest with a smile. "...I...I love you."
"..." Vali smiled as he tightened his embrace. "I love you too."
Kenshin smiled at this, but approached them. "As warmly touching as that moment was. We still have work to do." Kenshin said.
"Right." Vali said.
As they walked. Kenshin jabbed an elbow into Vali's side with a grin. "If you want, I could always give you two money for a love hotel." Kenshin said.
"!" Vali actually blushed at this. "K-Kenshin, d-don't joke about that!"
"Hahahahaha!" Kenshin said as they made their way to the power chamber with Granberia and Azazel with Lilith leading the way. "Relax Vali I was just fucking with you."
"Lilith needs confess something...the power chamber was also where we were housing...this." She said pushing the doors open.
"!" Azazel's eyes widened as they walk in.
"Wait..." Kenshin said with wide eyes. "Is that Trihexa? !"
"It's like a chimera." Granberia said. "Several heads. A lion, a leopard, a bear, even a dragon..."
"He even has it chained." Vali noted.
"Yeah." Azazel said. "That bastard. He was using Agreas' power generator to unseal it."
"Azazel this is serious. Even I can tell there's only a few seals left before it fully awakens!" Kenshin said as he uncased his wings. "I'll go up and cast numerous sleeping spells to keep the beast sleeping, you have to disconnect the power supply."
Both of them were stopped as Lilith pointed something out. "Ddraig, Ddraig."
"? !" Azazel, Vali and Kenshin looked outward to see numerous Boosted Gear Scale Mails surrounding Trihexa.
"What the? !" Kenshin said.
"He actually prepared this to such an extent? !" Vali said.
"No matter!" Granberia said readying her Ares. "I'll tear them all apart if I have to!"
"It doesn't matter. We can stop this before it can begin." Azazel said approaching the power console when it began to vibrate intensely. "Wait? ! Why is it activating? !"
"Hiyahahahahahahhahaha Hyahahahahahahaha!"
Rizevim's irritating laughter could be heard over the Agreas intercom in the power generator room.
"If this has started, then it means that I've been killed. So by whose hand was it, was it Sirzechs-kun, or did Vali finally reap vengeance on me? Or was it Kenshin finally ending his blood feud with me fucking with Ragnarok's reincarnates? Oh well, since this has started, it's fine that's it's become like this. This reaction is based on my death and will force all off the stages to be destroyed, the final step in the resurrection of Trihexa. This will use my soul as the final energy source."
"What? !" Azazel said.
"No..." Kenshin's said with wide eyes. "Azazel...no...Damn it we should have taken him alive!"
"!" Vali looked down at the floor with wide eyes. "Have I doomed everyone?"
Everyone looked up after this to see one of Trihexa's heads opening it's eyes after the crystal it was sealed inside was broken and let out a roar.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNN!"
Everyone on Agreas felt the reverberation from the roar. The second head also began to open it's eyes. Azazel's eyes widened. "Vali, Kenshin, Granberia! Attack Trihexa quickly! If that thing fully revives, the world will end!" Azazel said charging up a light spear.
Kenshin, who had downgraded to the Abyssal form and Vali nodded. Kenshin turned to Granberia. "This is going to hurt, but go into the Vessel Granberia!"
"Right!" Granberia said raising her Ares.
However both Azazel's spear, as well as Vali and Kenshin's attacks bounced off of Trihexa, Even Granberia's Vessel of the Elements did nothing to the beast. "Damn it..." Kenshin opened communications with Tamamo. "Unseal my Demigod form again!"
"What? ! Kenshin that woul-"
"I know about the strain it would put on my body Tamamo, but Trihexa is awake! I need all the power I can get to put it back to sleep!" Kenshin said.
However as they attacked it, Rizevim's last insipid words continued. "This is a forced resurrection after all, I mean according to Ialda Baoth it was always meant to be broken. A very interesting thing will also be released. That is the mass produced Sekiryuutei, and a large army of them too."
Kenshin felt another wave of exhaustion hit him as he fell to a knee panting as his armor shattered. "Damn it...that god form is seriously draining" Kenshin said as he felt the Demigod state activate." He lunged toward Trihexa. "Lilith please take care of the man made Sekiryuutei Boosted Gear Scale Mails at it's side!"
"Alright Aniki!" Lilith said diving into the fray, ripping the empty shells of the Scale Mail apart.
"Trihexa! I won't let you revive! Stay gone with Rizevim!" Kenshn said rushing forward, attacking each and every one of it's heads.
"Onii-Chan! I'll help!" Miyuki said rushing forward and doing the same as Kenshin. However. Rizevim's recording went on.
"Because they're replicas they don't have the strength of the original, but with this it's certainly possible to destroy this city.
"I'm coming in too!" Vali said.
"Haaaa!" Granberia screamed as she and Vali both attacked Trihexa.
Yukari watched this with a scowl as she banged her fist on the floor. "Damn it!"
"Yukari, please calm down! I can't heal you if you're acting up!" Negi said.
"I know...but..." Yukari growled.
"I know..." Negi said with narrowed eyes. "I feel the same. I want to help Kenshin defeat that beast, but right now your health is more important."
"Holy shit..." Draco said with wide eyes.
"What is it?" Yukari asked.
"That thing...it's more powerful than Ragnarok...and it isn't even close." Draco said, his voice filled with dread.
Yukari gasped as she tried to get up. "Are you serious? ! Kenshin's where Trihexa is! I have to help him!"
Draco held her down. "Negi-San keep healing her! She's in no condition to help Kenshin right now!"
"R-Right!" Negi said.
"Let me go! Let me go!" Yukari thrashed about. "For twenty years he was all I had! Don't make me lose him!"
"Yukari-San!" Negi yelled.
"Eh?" Yukari said.
"Remember...you aren't the only one who fell in love with him." Negi said with a smile. "It was thanks to you that I met the love of my life."
"..." Yukari closed her eyes with a smile. "Even though I...I..." Negi shook her head.
"The heart wants what the heart wants." Negi said with a smile. "I thought we'd been over this."
"I know...but...I'll always feel guilty for falling in love with your boyfriend..." Yukari said.
"Just like I'll always feel guilty for falling in love with yours." Negi said. "Come on, after the confession did you really think I wouldn't pick up on the signs?" Negi asked.
"Heh...I guess we were a little lovey dovey at times during the Mahora Festival?" Yukari said.
"That...and you did score an extra twenty years with him because of Chao." Negi said with an accusing glare.
"U-Um...in my defense I wasn't planning it?" Yukari said with a sweat.
"Uhh...as funny as this conversation is, isn't it a little inappropriate given the circumstances?" Draco said with an uneasy smile. "By the way Negi-San, she should be able to move now."
"Oh, right." Negi said moving her hands away from Yukari and helping her up. Yukari tried to swing a sword in her hand only to twitch in pain.
"He's right." Yukari grunted. "I can barely walk."
At the same time Rizevim's recorded voice resounded in and out of Agreas "Hyahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
Azazel growled. "Rizevim...Livan...! You bastard! Even after your death you won't let us go? ! You'll continue your evil? !"
"Damn you! ! ! !" Kenshin roared as he attacked Trihexa in the Demigod state, even exhausted as he was.
"Grrrrrhhhhh!" Vali had assumed his Emperio Juggernaut Drive form and helped him.
"Haaaaa! Vaporizing Rebellion Sword!" Granberia roared attacking Trihexa relentlessly.
"The Legendary Beast, recorded in the book of Revelation and a fake Sekiryuurtei army. Hah! Kenshin Kuroshi! Azazel, Sirzechs! Ajuka! Falbium! How will you deal with this? ! !"
"Damn it! Go to sleep! ! !" Kenshin said as his fists slammed into the bears and dragon's heads as he opened communications. "Rossweisse! !"
"? !" Rossweisse, who was in the middle of obliterating a member of Qulipppoh gasped."Kenshin-kun? !"
"Rosseweisse I need you here right now! I don't care how ready that seal is!
"You mean? !" Rossweisse asked.
"Yes! Trihexa is free! We need your help here! Please!" Kenshin shouted.
"I'm on my way!" Rossweisse thought as she appeared next to Kenshin and forced her hands forward, toward Trihexa. "Grrhh!" She growled in effort. "It's..no use! It needs to be weak enough for it to work. No wonder God had such a hard time with it!"
"Grrrhhh!" Kenshin growled, the elements spiraling around his arms and legs as he rushed toward Trihexa. "I WON'T LET YOU DESTORY MY WOOOOORRRRRRLLLLLLDDDD! ! " Kenshin roared as he attacked Trihexa.
"I'M WITH YOU KENSHIN! ! !" Vali roared as he joined Kenshin.
"DON'T LEAVE ME BEHIND! ! !" Granberia yelled.
"I'VE GOT THE LAST ONE!" Granberia looked over and saw Alma punching and kicking the last head of Trihexa.
"Alma? " Granberia said.
"What? Just because my bitch mom forbid me from practicing doesn't mean I didn't mean that I didn't love martial arts." Alma said with a smile. "We can forget the lewdness sure, but I'd love to spar against you sometime."
"You know Alma." Granberia said as they kept laying into Trihexa. "I'd like that, the two of us testing ourselves against each other." Granberia said with a smile. "But please could we cut out the end if you win?"
"Oh fine." Alma said with a pout.
"Like this, the underworld , Heaven and the Human World as well as Mundus Magicus and Makai will be destroyed., continuing my dream and advancing toward a world that has never been seen!" Rizevim said.
However another voice filled the room, "Your last words were a trifling matter. How truly hopeless you are Prince Rizevim"
Kenshin looked down as Apophis reappeared. "You? !"
"Gukuku! Still this is his style isn't it?"
"How bothersome!
"That's dead right!"
"Apophis and Azi Dahaka!" Vali said.
"Damn it!" Kenshin growled as he rushed toward Azi Dahaka.
"That's right, Dragon of the Elements. Unlike earlier in Makai I won't fall that easily. I was told to retreat after all." Apophis said.
Azazel growled. "You coward!"
"In any case former governor-dono. Unlike earlier, it's a bit rude to interrupt you while you were listening to the Prince's final announcement." Apophis said.
"We will take Trihexa and the army of fake Sekiryuutei!"
"We will take them away!"
"We are going to use them!"
"Not only in the Underworld and the Human world, but also we're going to create a world that belongs to only Evil Dragons. So please allow us to make use of them."
At this point, the seventh and final head had opened it's eyes, by coincidence or Vali and Kenshin thought. It had the head of a dragon. "Oi! Did you guys plan to use Rizevim from the beginning? !"
Apophis smirked. "Not from the very beginning no, It's just that Prince Rizevim was so pathetic that we planned this."
"What's worst is that guy looked down on dragons too much. Seriously, I'm not just referring to the Hakuryuukou, Fafnir or the current Dragon of the Elements. He simply thought that Devils were the strongest race and tried to use them. He was also was too fond of playing his little tricks."
"Dragons like simplicity and straightforwardness the most!
"There's no need for thinking! One simply follows what they feel!" Azi Dahaka said
As they were talking, the seventh head woke up entirely. Kenshin's eyes widened. "Rossweisse! I'll help you power the seal!" He said flying behind Rossweisse.
"Right!" Rossweisse said.
"Hang on!" Azazel said grabbing Lilith and rushing to a corner of the room, shielding her with his body and barriers,
"!" Kenshin watched as Trihexa forcefully snapped the chains binding it. He looked back and saw Rossweisse was too frightened to apply the seal. He didn't blame her. He was scared himself. He noticed that the building they were in began to collapse and Agreas itself was shaking.
However Trihexa began to gather a massive amount of mana, until one of it's heads spat out a massive fireball The ceiling absolutely shattered by it as Trihexa flew upward.
"No..." Azazel and Kenshin both said.
"No!" Kenshin said holding his head. "We failed...we fucking failed!"
The beast had seven heads and ten horns, with ten crowns, and on each head were blasphemous names of God. Kenshin and Azazel flew upward. The beast that they saw was like a leopard, it's feat were like those of a bear, it's mouth resembled a lion and a dragon gave the beast it's power. Kenshin smiled grimly. "It's like a fucking chimera." He said.
"Yeah...honestly who can match up to this beast." Azazel said.
"!" Kenshin glanced over, seeing the man made Boosted Gear Scale Mails flying out of Agreas, surrounding Trihexa.
"Damn it!" Azazel yelled.
Kenshin looked down at his hands with a glare. "Fucking damn it! !" Kenshin yelled
"Come if you want to come." Apophis said "We Evil Dragons against you of DxD. We won't play any petty tricks like Prince Rizevim. We will eradicate everything in front of ours with Trihexa." Apophis said.
"Come quickly, Vali Lucifer. Let us fight again. We can fight while admiring the destruction that Trihexa will bring. Don't you feel excited? Since this is a fight for your lives, a dragon that doesn't not fight is not a real dragon!
"The Heavenly Dragons against the Evil Dragons!"
"Bring the Sekiryuutei and the Dragon of the Elements as well!" Azi Dahaka said.
Vali watched Trihexa flying in the sky and revealed a fearless smile. "Very well then Azi Dahaka. That is very interesting. Simple and easy to understand."
"Damn it." Kenshin cursed.
"What's the matter Kenshin? Aren't you excited for the ultimate batt-!" Vali was slugged to the ground by Kenshin.
"Vali!" Granberia said. "Kenshin what are you? !"
"Why the hell are you so excited? !" Kenshin shouted.
"Come on Kenshin, aren't you excited at the prospect of fighting the Beast of the Apocalypse?" Vali said.
"Vali, if Trihexa and Great Red fight all of existence will be destroyed!" Kenshin said.
"Then it seems like it's time for you to do your job as a Primordial." Vali said.
"Krh? !" Kenshin growled.
"What? Lacking in confidence?" Vali asked.
"...Vali, I wasn't even able to beat Great Red. I CAN'T let those two meet or we're all fucked!" Kenshin said. "I'm not lacking in anything I just have to get to Trihexa before Great Red does!"
"Well then we should get a move on." Vali said. "I didn't mean to doubt you."
"..." Kenshin nodded as everyone flew out of Agreas. Issei, who had awoken and Asia carrying Gorou and Miki.
(chapter end)
Draconis: Sorry for the length everyone, but I kinda couldn't find a good stopping point like with the Kyoto arc.
Kenshin: Understandable.
Draconis: I'm going to go ahead and end this here, but not before addressing a guest review. VividMind17 I really wish you had reviewed with an account so I could properly respond to you and tell you how much I appreciate your review, but in any case. As you can see I'm alright, my job's just been whoopin my ass lately. Also. Gabriel and Ilias getting added into Kenshin's harem. I guess I could make that happen since Alipheese is still getting paired with Ragnarok.
Draconis678 out...of probably his mind.
