Outsider Chronicles: Teufel der Zerstörung

When I died, I wasn't expecting to wake up again. Then again, that's nowhere near as unexpected as discovering that I'm descended from a group of Demon destroying Humans with a love for white, angst and archery. Oh, and I'm a Devil now! Fun times.

Yes, its another DXD story. What? I like the world. Its also another Bleach idea, this time with a Quincy as the protagonist, although exactly how much Bleach will have to do with it other than that, I don't know. Probably not much, although I might have some members of the Wandenreich and an inept Soul Reaper show up...anyway, lets get started! Enjoy!

Chapter 1

There are many stories of reincarnation, of heroes fighting against impossible odds, of the battle between good and evil. I like them all as much as they next guy, but I never thought I'd be in the middle of one. Perhaps I should back up a little, yes? Lets start from the beginning. When I died from an electric shock from faulty wiring, the very last thing I expected was to wake up again, and in the body of a baby at that.

Surprisingly, growing up was normal, with the only slightly odd thing being my parents insistence of me learning archery and even then it was really just the choice of sport that threw me off slightly. I had no problems with it though and took to the sport like a duck to water. Yes, things were looking up for me…

That is until I turned nine and both my Parents suddenly died. At the same time. Of heart attacks, despite being in perfect health. Yeah, I really should have smelt a rat, but I was to busy drowning in shock and grief. It certainly didn't help that my last remaining relative, an Uncle I'd never met, didn't even bother to show up to see me. Hell, he didn't even really take me in! All he did was send a big bloke with a suit and an earpiece to take me to an apartment he owned and set me up with a monthly stipend! Fucking asshole!

On the other hand, my new home was in a place that served to shake me out of my stupor, if only because I was wacked over the head with disbelief, quickly followed by rage instead. Why? Well, my new home and school (which I wasn't entirely pleased with to begin with as it meant uprooting and leaving my friends behind) was located in Kuoh Town. Yeah, I had NOT been pleased to find out about that. On the other hand, just because DXD was apparently a thing in this world, that didn't mean I'd get dragged in...right?

Actually, my attempts to keep well away from the Supernatural went rather well for the next five years. Sure, I was in class with Koneko, once I started high school, but just being the classmate of a Devil does not mean that I had to do anything to get involved. Just the opposite actually. I made it a point to avoid even getting a Flyer, just in case I ended up as Freeds target and kept my head down. Then, I made a mistake.

I was walking to school as normal, when a sudden eep and a thump reached my ears. I turned and was immediately met with a faceful of white panties. Hmm, well, this might end badly…

Despite that thought, my nature as a decent Human being won out over pragmatism and I approached the fallen girl as she pushed herself to her knees. Lets see, blond hair, blue eyes, blatently not Japaneses and a Habit...god, I hope this dosent bite me in the ass…

"Hey there, you OK?" I asked as I offered her a hand.

"Owwee, yes I'm fine," said the girl, taking my hand and letting me pull her to her feet.

As expected, she was wearing a habit, cross and a vial with a blue cross on the forehead.

"Thats great," I said with a grin, "I'm Shiroe Katagiri."

"Oh, its nice to meet you Shiroe, I'm Asia Argento," said the nun before looking around and seeing her suitcase open on the ground with a large number of clothes strewn over the road, including some rather lacy underwear.

"AH!"

She then moved faster than the eye could follow, grabbing all her clothes and shoving them into her suitcase and slamming it shut, her face glowing like a traffic light.

"Ahh, you saw the bad side of me," said Asia, blushing brightly.

I smirked.

"I saw nothing," I said, "So, I take it your new in town?"

Asia nodded.

"Yes, I was just assigned to take care of the church in this area," said Asia, looking down, "But I'm lost."

I glanced at my watch.

"Hmm, well, I've got a bit of time," I said, "I can show you the way."

"Oh, thank you Shiroe!"

I just smiled and led the way down the street. As we walked, I made a point to point out a few places that were good to visit and generally playing tour guide, despite knowing it was largely pointless. To be honest, I'm not sure why I was showing her around considering the clusterfuck I knew would result in it, not to mention the fact it could utterly destroy any chance of going unnoticed by the Fallen. Then again, if I left her alone, she'd either end up with Issei or dead in a ditch somewhere, neither of which the Nun deserved. OK, that was a little mean. Issei really wasn't that bad.

We started to head in the direction of the church, but the sound of a child crying drew Asias attention to where a young boy had fallen and scraped his knee. The young Nun quickly hurried over to the boys side.

"A big boy like you shouldn't cry over something like this," she said, despite the fact the boy couldn't understand her.

She cupped her hands over the boys knee and I watched, intrigued as a green glow surrounded them, rapidly healing the boys wound.

"There, all better," she said with a kind smile.

The boy just stared up at Asia in awe, before his mother came over and scolded him for running off.

"Yoshi, where did you run off to?" asked the woman, looking relieved.

"Mom, she healed me!" said the boy excitedly.

His mother looked cautiously at Asia before hurrying her son away, scolding him for running off on his own. I glanced at Asia who looked upset.

"Are you OK?" I asked.

"Oh yes, I fine," said Asia, giving a slightly forced smile.

She certainly didn't look it.

"Thank you big sister!"

We both looked up to see the little boy Asia had just healed waving at her.

"He said thank you," I said.

Asia looked surprised, before she smiled and waved back, earning a massive smile from the little boy.

"Sorry about that," said Asia, "I can be a little meddlesome sometimes."

"No problem," I said, "If more people stopped to help others, the world would be a better place."

Asia smiled at me and moved to pick up her bag.

"Allow me," I said, picking it up for her.

"Ah, no, I couldn't!" she protested.

"Its no problem," I said, "Besides, my Grandpa would kill me if I let a cute girl lug her own bag."

Asia blushed lightly and nodded.

"Thats an interesting power you have," I said as we continued towards the church.

"Y-yes, its a gift from God," said the Nun, "I consider it to be a gift."

"Hmm," I muttered.

She was a bloody terrible liar.

Eventually, we reached the road that lead up to the Church.

"And I'm afraid this is where I must leave you," I said, "If you follow this road up the hill, you'll find the church at the top."

"Thank you for the help and I'm sorry for being a bother," said Asia, "If your ever in the neighborhood, please, come by the Church for a cup of tea."

I chuckled.

"Sorry, but I've never been to comfortable in Churches," I said, "But if we meet out and about, I'll be happy to share a cuppa."

Asia blinked.

"But...your wearing a cross," she said, indicating to the flash of silver that could be seen under my shirt.

"Oh, you mean this?" I asked, pulling out the necklace and revealing it was actually a pentacle, "Its not actually a Crucifix. It belonged to my Mum, before…"

I trailed off. Asia seemed to notice my sudden melancholy and looked horrified.

"Oh my, I'm sorry, I…" she said.

"Don't worry about it, you didn't know," I said, tucking the pendent away, "Anyway, see ya."

I waved and continued on my way to school.

Surprisingly, I managed to get through the day without being smote from on high by Fallen, but I guess I shouldn't be totally surprised. I mean, I'm just a normal Human being after all. That said, that night I found myself restless and unable to sleep. The problem I was having was simple. If I was the one who helped out Asia, that meant that she and Issei had not met. That in turn meant that him trying to help her later on was unlikely, meaning that she was going to die. As a result, I'd have the life of an innocent girl on my shoulders. Unfortunately, I had no idea what I could do about it.

I'm a Human, one with no reasons to know about the Supernatural world, so I couldn't approach Rias or Sona for help and, even if I did, there was likely little either could, or would, do to help a Sister at the word of a random Human. For the first time since I'd found out about the DXD world being a thing, I cursed being powerless…

I growled and threw off my covers. I wouldn't be getting any sleep like this, so what was the point? I rolled out of bed and grabbed my exercise gear. If I couldn't sleep, I might as well go for a run. It'd take my mind off things if nothing else. Without even really thinking about it, I grabbed my cross on the way out, absently flicking my wrist in such a way that the chain wrapped securely around my wrist and stayed there. As it settled, the cross momentarily flared blue.

My run took me out of town towards the woods that bordered it. It was a run I did quite often, so I knew the route by the back of my hand. Sure, it was a little dangerous at night, but the route I took was well lit by the full moon. My feet carried me along familiar paths towards a small brook that I'd found shortly after I'd arrived in town. I liked the area as the trickle of the water was calming and helped me think, something I desperately needed right now. Plus, the area was incredibly pretty, especially at night as the fireflies danced over the pool.

Unfortunately, it seemed that someone was against me that night as, halfway to my destination, I suddenly found myself sensing something nearby. It wasn't the first time I'd sensed something I couldn't explain, there had been a few times I'd felt something… arrive for want of a better word in the apartment across the hall from me, but this time was a bit different. I could feel that, somewhere nearby, someone was fighting. A lot of someones actually. How I knew thats what I was feeling, I couldn't tell you. I also couldn't tell you why I thought it was a good idea to investigate the source of the feeling, bit thats exactly what I did.

It didn't take me long to reach it, a run down house for within which I could hear the sounds of combat.

"This is a fucking horrible idea!" I groaned as I snuck around the house, following the sounds of fighting.

Sure enough, it didn't take long to find it in a large room towards the back of the house with some very large windows that gave me an excellent view of what was going on. Inside, I found Rias and her Peerage fighting against Viser. Despite all logic telling me to leave now that I knew what was going on, for some reason I stayed put. Something inside me was demanding that I stay and do...something. What that something was, I have no idea, but any idea of sneaking away was lost a moment later as Viser threw a chunk of concrete at Kiba. Naturally, the Knight jumped out of the way without trouble, but unfortunately the rock was flying right at me.

The chunk of concrete smashed straight through the window I was looking through and showered me in glass shards. I yelped and crossed my arms over my face to protect my eyes as the shards, thrown with incredible force by the speed of the rock that broke the window, hit me. However, instead of stabbing pain and gaining a painful new set of bling, all I felt was a rush of heat in my arms and a sensation similar to being caught in a heavy rainstorm as the glass bounced of my skin without even scratching it. I blinked and looked down at my arms to see that my vanes were glowing very faintly with a blue light.

"What the…"

My utter shock was interrupted by a frankly horrible howl of complete and utter fury, before I found myself being snatched up by a pair of monstrous talons and staring into the face of Viser in full monster mode.

"YOU! I'LL KILL YOU YOU FUCKING MONSTER!" she roared as she started squeezing.

I would have mentioned the pot and the kettle, but considering she was squeezing hard enough that I could feel my ribs creaking, I couldn't exactly talk at that moment. I struggled against Visers grip, but she was way to strong and I could already see my vision starting to fade. In desperation, I reached for the energy that had flowed through me just a moment ago and pushed. The result was that my next blow, as weak as it was, somehow hit with enough power to break Visers arm with a loud crack.

She immediately let out a howl of pain as one arm went limp, but rather than drop me, she threw me into the house, past the stunned looking Peerage, and into a wall that immediately collapsed on me. Considering my ribs were crushed and I'm pretty sure my lungs were pierced, I couldn't even scream as the rubble crushed my arms and legs, but I was fortunately spared the pain as another chunk of rubble smacked into my head, sending me into darkness.

And done. Well, that wasn't the most dignified end I've ever given an Outsider, but he'll be back. No comments about him becoming a Devil cus it'll be happening no matter what. I do have enough changes planned that it won't be stail though and not just the fact our hero's a Quincy. What changes? Well, you'll just have to wait and see! Oh, and before I forget, the title means Devil of Destruction in German.

It took me a while to figure out how I wanted to have him realise he was a Quincy without just spelling it out for him. Speaking of which, while both his parents were Quincy's, guess who his uncle is. It probably won't really tie into anything, I just like the idea is all. Plus, it explains how he has enough money to support his nephew but doesn't care enough to actually take him in. In the end, I decided to have him instinctively use Blut to protect himself.

Speaking of Quincy's and their powers, although they call their bows and arrows holy, they aren't actually holy in nature. They're still very effective against Devils, but their just as good a hurting Fallen and Angels as well. Also, Quincy Crosses don't affect Devils like Crucifixes. That said, Seele Schneider can be used to cut through and break down Light Spears, Light Swords and even some types of magic...so long as the user isn't to strong. It wouldn't really work on one of Kokabiels spears unless the wielder was as powerful as a Captain.

Speaking off, I'll come up with a power comparison later, but suffice to say that the Soul Society is taking the place of the Underworld and Grim Reapers. What that means for Brienna, I'll also think about later. For now it can be assumed that standard Quincy's are considered the equivalent of Magicians and Captain class Soul Reapers are pretty high up the food chain, with the Head Captain likely making at least the top 20 strongest beings.

And with that, I'm done. Don't forget to leave a review on the way out!
