The Broken Boosted Gear

By Try Another Time

Asia started to take care of her daily day-to-day once more. After getting that refreshing talk with Gabriel, she got a good night of sleep. She still was thinking about what she should do but now she had less stress about it.

"Asia?" The head priest approaches her.

"Yes?" The girl replies.

"You're going to be working on the garden for today. After yesterday's event, we have to be careful. At least until he leaves the city you should stay behind doors." The head priest was very worried about Issei. A dragon coming to visit Asia had to be a sign of bad luck for the church or at least that was the mindset of the members of the church.

"Do we really have to do this? He didn't attack us nor did he enter the church with evil intentions."

"My child. He is a supernatural being. You don't know what his real intentions are. The words of a dragon can be full of lies just like the words of a devil."

"But he knows my family."

"We are your only family, my child. Since that night when we found you on our doorstep, you have been a member of our family. The other orphans are your brothers and sisters as well. This is your family and being a nun is your destiny, Asia."

Asia said nothing and just lowered her head. Desire, dreams, or this so-called destiny. She needed to choose one and this might be the only chance she would get to do it. If she decided to stay, there was a high chance that she would never leave the church. But if she took the offer with Issei she was going to start a life that was going to be very different from what she had in mind.

Gabriel's words were still clear on her mind. She should choose what's best for her, not for the sake of the church, nor the world, but just her own self.

"I'm going to work in the garden. I'll see you later." Asia began to walk away from the head priest.

The old man watches as the girl leaves for the garden without turning back. He was worried about her. Since the day he found her at their doorstep he had been caring for her. When her long blond hair began to grow, it made him realize who her mother was. He knew what had happened to her and prayed to God for her soul. The curse was not real but it had a hold on her bloodline. Too many deaths, too many broken marriages, and too much pain just kept giving the so-called curse strength. He didn't believe in the curse but he fears for her future. Love can be something beautiful but it can also be something cruel.

"Maybe if you don't find love, you can escape the cycle. I don't want to see you sad Asia. You're too good to deserve any kind of pain. This place is your home and if you follow the path of a nun, you will never need to suffer the same tragedy." He was old and age can be a double-edged sword. Experience makes us strong but it can also make us afraid of what we don't know. He just was doing what he felt was best for Asia.

"Head priest?" Another one of the members of the church approaches him.

"What do you need my brother?" Asks the head priest.

"We have a group of foreign nuns who have come to visit."

"Foreign nuns? We didn't have any reservations for a trip."

"I know but they seem to have come to visit Asia. They heard about her healing powers."

"That sacred gear is a blessing but it also attracts a lot of attention. Let's meet this group."

The head priest said before turning one last time to see Asia. "Please God, protect this child. Don't let her suffer any tragedies."

The hopes of the old man were pure but life is not always what we want.

Meanwhile, Issei.

"So, let's go over this once more," Kuroka said. "You met her."

"Yes," Issei replies.

"Do you really think she is a descendant of Mikhail?"

"There is a high chance."

"And you talked to her about the past?"

"We did."

"And she forgave you for killing her ancestor?"

"She did."

"But you're not sure if she is truly his descendant?"

"No, I'm not sure."

"Then why did you offer your help to her? And why did you reveal your identity as a dragon?" Kuroka was trying to understand the actions of her leader.

"I want to believe she is. Her face, her words, her voice, I remember those of Christa and I can't just ignore the similarities. The photo wasn't enough for me to realize it but when I saw her in person and talked to her my mind was screaming that she was her descendant. Even Mikhail's husk was reacting to her within my mind." Issei admits. "I felt relieved to hear her voice and I wanted to make sure she was happy. When she answered some of my questions with answers that sounded evasive, I just had to assure her that I could help her if she needed help."

"And you show her your wings to make sure that your words were true?" Raynare asked.

"Yes. I hope that she doesn't call for me. I truly want her to be happy and if I don't need to interfere that would be for the best. The church looks fine and the head priest was someone that didn't lie to me nor did he appear to be interested in gaining money for his own desires. I can say that he is truly a selfless person and that Asia is living a normal life. If being a nun is what she wants I'm not going to interfere." He looked calm and more relaxed after meeting her.

Both girls see this and feel relieved about it. Kuroka was still mad about the whole revelation of his identity but if Issei was feeling better she was willing to let it go.

"So, you gave her three days to make her choose? Does that mean that we get three more days to enjoy this city?" Kuroka asks.

"We do but we also need to get ready for our departure. We have a treasure left in Italy and then we need to travel to South America for the last one. After that, we can go back to Japan and the Underworld. I imagine that Tiamat wants to see you and I feel that we need to confirm the alliance between fallen angels and devils. Welsh-sama is crucial for the alliance and your presence can push the negotiations to go even faster." Raynare said. "Bastard-sama (Azazel) hasn't said anything but we might need to confirm it with our eyes."

"You really hate Azazel." Kuroka couldn't believe that since they began to travel together, she hasn't called Azazel by his real name.

"I have known him for centuries and that stupid alcoholic bastard owes me a lot. He deserves all of my hate and there is no way he can make it up to me." Her eyes were burning with anger.

"So, you hate him more than Kokabiel?" Kuroka continues.

"That's a different case. I want Kokabiel to suffer the worst fate possible. What I want for the alcoholic bastard is for Vali to use the dividing gear on his private parts." Thus began a small rant of how Raynare wanted Azazel to feel the biggest pains a male could ever wish to endure.

Kuroka began to laugh and Issei continued to smile. If everything continues without problems they would be back in Japan in no time. Kokabiel was still hiding in someplace but he had to show his face at some point.

But nothing stays that peaceful for him and today was one of those days.

Back with Asia.

With tools in hand, she began to take care of some of the plants around the garden. They had a lot of different kinds around. Flowers, fruit trees, and several kinds of vegetables. This garden was crucial to the church thus why she was taught from a young age how to take care of it.

"This is a good garden, my dear." A male voice says.

Asia turns around but finds nobody. She looks around and still finds nobody. "Who are you?"

"I'm just someone that has an interest in you, my dear Asia."

Asia looks up and a figure begins to descend into the floor. His wings and his clothes told her that he wasn't an angel nor a dragon. He looked to be around 18 years old but he was far older than that. "Why are you here? I don't know you nor do I have any connections to any devils."

"No, you don't Asia but you met a dragon and an angel not too long ago."

Asia grows pale after hearing the revelation.

"Don't look scared my dear. I have been watching you for many months. I know everything about you and you have caught my interest. My name is Diodora Astaroth, a Pure-Blooded Devil and I have come to collect you." Diodora admits. A wide grin forms on his face.

"Collect me?"

"Yes. I want you. Since I saw you months ago, I have been researching you and watching every single one of your movements. I was planning to wait a few years until you become at least 13 or maybe more but since that Dragon and that Angel decided to approach you, I'm not going to wait another moment. So, it's time for you to come with me, my dear nun." Diodora said as he offered his hand to her.

"What are you saying? I'm eight and I'm not an object. What gives you the right to come here to collect me?" Asia backs away from him.

Diodora laughs. "Dear Asia, I'm a Pure-Blooded devil. I take what I want and you are my newest obsession." Diodora snaps his fingers and 15 girls with wings appear in a circle while grabbing the different priests that lived with Asia and the rest of the orphans. Each girl held a dagger close to their necks. "My dear Asia, this wasn't my initial plan for you. I really wanted you to mature like a delicious fruit. I wanted to collect you when the time was right. All of these girls were just like you in the past. Each of them was a nun that captured my interest and each one of them became part of my possessions."

Asia looks at each of the girls. They looked normal but their eyes were dead. There was no life in them. No will, just broken husks of their past selves. "You're a monster."

"Maybe but I'm willing to give you a chance to prevent a tragedy. Come with me Asia and none of them have to suffer for your transgressions. You will become my possession either willingly or by force. You come with me willingly and they live. You choose the other route and they die alongside every other person in this church before I drag you to the underworld with me." Diodora says.

The priests watch in fear the whole affair but none of them can do anything. They were suppressed by the girls with no problems and by some divine intervention they only decided to take them instead of the orphans who were trapped inside the building. Those children were still screaming from within the building.

Asia's breathing became more erratic and her heart was beating even faster than before. "You can't do this. I didn't do anything to deserve this. I don't even know you."

"My sweet Asia. I don't care. You capture my interest and now I want you with me. The same happened with each of them and I did what was necessary to get them. I broke each one of them like a toy and now is your turn so you better decide now. Will you come with me willingly or will I need to kill every single person in this pathetic church for you to understand? This is your destiny."

Destiny. A word she had been hearing for so long. Becoming a nun was her destiny based on what the head priest said. Becoming a possession was her destiny based on what Diodora had said. It was never her choice. Others always were choosing for her before she got a say in her own life.

She wanted to cry. She wanted to scream. She hated all of this. She wanted the freedom to choose. Then her voice came back to her.

"I feel that you deserve the chance of choosing your own path." The words of Gabriel came back to her. "Is going to be far from being a normal life but is one that you might like if you give it a try and it's up to you to choose it or not."

She then remembers him. The boy, the dragon, the one that had said those words to her. "If at any point you need help during that time, that man will hear your screams and will come right away. He offers you his support if you feel like you need it." She wanted to believe in those words and in the kid that had to apologize to her for something that she did not know of. So, she began to choose for her own sake. She chose to scream.

"Issei!" Her voice screamed his name with all of her strength. This was her own choice, the first of many and she prayed with all of her heart that he was going to hear her.

Diodora laughs. "Who are you calling now? Do you think someone is going to show up and stop me? Nobody is coming for you."

But his smile disappears in a matter of seconds when he sees the teletransportation circle that appeared behind Asia.

Three figures stood behind the girl and one of them he knew very well.

"I'm going to give you one chance to explain yourself. Who are you? Why are you here?" Issei said as he pats Asia's hair. His eyes look around and analyze the situation. He approaches her ear. "I'm here now. Leave the rest to me."

The girl began to cry as soon as she heard his voice and her legs were barely able to stand up. She turns around and hugs him without saying one word. She couldn't control her emotions. She prayed for him to appear but she wasn't sure if it was going to be real or just a farce.

Diodora becomes mad after seeing this but tries to keep cool. "I'm here for my possession Welsh Dragon. She is mine."

"I asked for your identity."

"Diodora Astaroth is my name."

"I'm giving you one chance to take back those words and apologize to Asia and the priests."

"I won't. That girl is mine and I've been waiting for her for far too long."

"And you think I'm going to allow it? I told you, you have one chance and if you take the wrong choice this is not going to end well for you." Issei says as he holds the anger back. He was waiting for the moment in which Diodora crossed the line.

Diodora becomes even angrier. "You filthy Dragon. You think you can oppose me and interrupt my actions. I don't care about your connections with the Gremorys or the Four Great Satans. She is mine and I won't back down." Diodora creates a spear made out of demonic energy and throws it against Issei's face.

It was the point of no return.

*Lucifer's Hymn*

"Raynare, Kuroka. Knock these girls out." Issei says before he grabs the attack with one of his extra arms. The grip is so strong that the spear breaks into pieces.

The girls nod and begin to take care of each target.

Raynare summons several spears of light. "This is going to hurt. So, clench those teeth bitches!" She went ahead and began to face the queen, rooks, bishops, and at least three of the pawns.

Her spears move with such speed and precision that even the queen of Diodora was having trouble while trying to evade them.

Kuroka smiles before taking out two pawns with one single spell. "I have been waiting to use some of these in targets that actually receive damage. Don't worry I won't kill any of you." The rest of the peerage was hers to deal with.

Each of the peerage members that was still conscious was forced to release the prisoners.

Each one of the priests fell to the floor but none were able to lift a finger to move from their spot. They got beaten into submission not too long ago by these same girls.

Diodora watched as his peerage was forced to deal with one of the strongest stray devils in existence and one veteran fallen angel from the heavenly war. Both were more than enough to take on normal enemies and his peerage was still not at its fullest potential but he had other problems to deal with at the moment.

"I gave you one chance and now you're going to pay for it." Issei disappears from Asia's embrace and reappears in front of Diodora.

"Fuck- "Diodora tries to put up a barrier to protect himself but that is useless against the ability of Penetrate that the Welsh Dragon possesses.

Issei kicks the pure-blooded devil on the chin with all of his strength which sends him flying away into the sky. The body of Diodora is unable to recover from the first hit since Issei catches up with him and starts the savage assault against him.

The first of his limbs to get broken was his right arm. The bone cracked after receiving a spinning kick.

"Ahh!" Diodora screams after hearing the sound and feeling the immense amount of pain.

Diodora tries to conjure a blade to attack but Issei doesn't let him breathe for a second. He grabs the head of the devil and gives him a knee to the face. His nose cracks on impact and his blood stains the pants of Issei. A few of his teeth are also damaged due to the attack.

"You filthy- "Diodora tries to talk but Issei is not going to stop with just that.

A series of boxing punches against the ribs leaves Diodora without air for a few moments. Each one feels like being hit by a massive creature that weighs millions of tons. The ribs were like ice against the strength of the punches and broke with ease. These same broken ribs cause more internal bleeding for the devil and even more pain than before.

"I gave you one chance to take everything back. One chance to save yourself but you went ahead and attacked me." Issei Grabs the wings of the devil and rips them with ease before incinerating them with his flames.

Diodora almost loses consciousness after that kind of damage. His eyes begin to cry for mercy but there is none to be found.

"I don't know what you were doing but trust me you will tell me everything or she will do it. No matter what you will suffer until the very end. You will die when I tell you can die." Issei grabs Diodora's left arm before he breaks the humerus, ulna, and radius which leads to the bones piercing the skin.

Diodora looks into his eyes and only sees unrestrained rage. His fear levels rise to new heights he has never reached before. Then he looks at his private parts.

One of the extra arms approaches it before it grabs the delicate male organ.

He turns back to Issei and the child shows not a single drop of mercy before he does the deed. The sound was indescribable and no words could describe the amount of will that it took for Diodora not to pass out. The remains were incinerated in front of his eyes just to add salt to the injury.

*Notes of the author: As a male, writing this hurts me like hell. *

"Ahh!" The devil screamed even higher than before after losing the most sacred organ a male has. "Mercy!"

"You lost that right." Issei grabs the right leg and twists the limb until a horrible sound is heard. "I'm going to make sure you wish you went back to your mother's womb."

Back on the floor.

Asia lays on her knees. Her tears continue even after Issei disappears from her embrace. She looks up and can barely see the bodies of both Issei and Diodora. Every hit causes a sound and in between those sounds, she can barely hear the voice of Diodora. His screams are the most noticeable sound.

The moments begin to move in slow motion as she watches what is taking place around her.

The priests try to get up and the head priest is calling her but she can't understand what he is saying.

The girls that came with Issei are still dealing with the former nuns but they seem to have no problems with dealing with them.

Then a single drop of blood falls on her shoulder. Then another one which is then followed by many more. She even sees a few teeth on the ground.

"It's raining blood. He is making blood rain on this land." Her mind was slowly coming to terms with what was happening around her. "The devil came to collect me and the dragon came to save me. He is doing this for me…."

Maybe it was due to her stress caused by the situation or maybe it was due to the guilt she felt after becoming the reason for the church to be attacked by Diodora but Asia had come to a decision right there.

While her body was stained with the blood of a pure-blooded devil, she made a decision at that moment. She was leaving the church and the life of a nun, she was going to leave alongside Issei.

Minutes afterward.

The broken form of Diodora Astaroth was dropped into the ground by Issei after demolishing his mind, body, and soul. He was still alive but there was no way for him to recover after that. Broken limbs, one missing eye, several missing teeth, a missing organ, several broken bones, and a broken will within a short time period were the perfect recipe for someone that wouldn't recover ever again.

Issei touches the floor and begins to walk toward Asia. The girl had stayed in the same place and didn't move an inch even though the head priest was talking to her and trying to clean the blood with a towel.

"Asia?" Issei kneels in front of her.

"Take me with you," Asia said.

"My child, you can't do this." The head priest tries to reason with her.

"I can't stay here. Look at me, I'm the reason why he came here, the reason why all of you almost died. I can't be a nun after all of this." Asia says without looking at the head priest. "Issei, please take me with you."

Issei looks at her eyes and sees that she is determined in her decision. "Are you sure about this?"

Asia turns towards the former nuns who lay unconscious on the floor not too far from then. "I was about to be like them. They were nuns before being broken by him and yet you saved all of us before he did the same with me. Being a nun is not my destiny and I'm tired of others choosing for me. With you, I can start choosing for myself and I need to see that they get some help. I can't do that here."

Raynare and Kuroka are standing next to the unconscious peerage. They look fine and lack any visible injuries while the girls on the floor are mostly fine except for a few scars that the attacks of Raynare were going to leave or the broken bones that Kuroka might have caused to some of them with her kicks.

Issei was angry and having nuns, peerage, and the devil in the same context didn't feel right. There was something fishy behind all of this but Asia was first. "Asia, you know what I am right?"

"I know and you were the one that offered me your help."

"I'm going to the devil's territory after this. Are you sure you want to do this? You can have a normal life here. I can even help you later on since you're still young."

"No, this is the right option. Gabriel-sama even recommended that I follow you."

That last sentence grabbed everyone by surprise.

Issei grabs her hands. "When did you talk to Gabriel?"

"Last night. She told me about you and said that she was planning to meet you. I'm going with you no matter what." Asia reaffirms her choice.

Issei looks at the girls and they don't know what to say. He looked into Asia's eyes and she had the same determination that Le Fay had when she did what she did. Then he turns towards the head priest. "I'm sorry sir. She has made a choice but I will keep her safe no matter what."

The head priest sighs in disappointment. He couldn't fight a dragon to prevent her from leaving, especially not after that dragon saved them. "Mr. Dragon, please take good care of her. I don't want the tragedy of her mother to repeat itself."

Asia looks at him. "You knew who she was? You said you didn't know anything about her? Why did you hide this from me?"

"It was hard not to know it. Your hair and eyes made me remember her when she came to visit the church. She was a good girl but she felt for the wrong guy. It seems she chose to hide the pregnancy for a long time and brought you to the church shortly after you were born. She did something no girl should ever do that same night. I didn't want you to face that pain." The head priest admits. "Take care of yourself Asia and don't choose the wrong person as your husband."

The rest of the priests lower their heads as a sign of guilt.

Asia looks at the head priest but says nothing. Her emotions weren't in the right place at the moment. "Issei let's go. I don't want to be here anymore."

Issei helps her to stand up but before he transports himself and the rest to the underworld, he looks at the sky. "If you're watching you better come to the city of Lilith. Every single one of you needs to show up. This whole mess has your smell all over it." Issei then transports himself and the rest back to the underworld.

This was a mess that they needed to take care of. The priests were left with the aftermath of losing one of their own. The one that was hurt the most was the head priest since he only cared about protecting Asia.

Meanwhile, heaven.

Gabriel didn't know if to smile or feel stress about the tone of his voice. "He asked for us. We need to go there."

"It is the underworld, Gabriel," Uriel said.

"We were planning on meeting him in the human world." Raphael didn't expect a direct invitation from him.

"We are going," Michael said. "Gabriel get the sword. We are doing this under his terms. He is going to learn that we didn't interfere and save those other girls. He is more emotional than what I remember and not showing up is going to make it even worse."

The other three understood the situation. They chose not to interfere unless there was an emergency but this also meant that their followers were practically left unprotected.

There was no easy solution to this issue.

Sirzechs's Office.

Today the four heads of the four great satans were getting together to go over different problems. The alliance with the fallen angels was still not done but they had successfully acted in coordination to take care of the cursed island aftermath with some help of the angels which was unexpected, to say the least.

"Ajuka, you should change your last name already," Serafall said. "All of us took the last names of one of the former satans and you're the last one."

"Just give me some time. I'm still trying to put my family under control. My cousin Diodora is the new heir but it doesn't sit right with me for some reason. He is 23 but he doesn't act like a proper heir yet. His peerage is also weird. Each one is a former nun but for some reason, they all joined his peerage. I just know there is something wrong with it." Ajuka admits.

Falbium Asmodeus who was laying on one of the couches with his pajamas still in turns to look at them. "You worry too much about them. You should focus on yourself and leave them to take care of their problems by themselves. Each of us went to war for our sake and now we need to take care of reforming our faction. If you take care of their problems, your job, the rate games, and everything else at the same time you will go insane. Too much work is not helpful for anyone."

"Says the great satan that sleeps for eighteen hours each day." Serafall looks at him with disappointment.

"I still take care of my job. Sleeping is the best thing after all and I deserve the rest I get." Falbium says.

Sirzechs continues to go over some papers until he arrives in the middle of the office.

A circle of teletransportation appears and within instants, Issei and several people appear before the four great satans.

"We need to talk," Issei says.

The members of the group look around and Ajuka is the one that has the most disappointment on his face after seeing the barely alive body of his cousin.

It was going to be a long day.

Two hours afterward.

Issei looks around the room as the last people take their seats at the large table within the room. One look around and he could see that the room was packed.

Some of the presents included Azazel, Shemhazai, all the members of the four great satans, the current heads of the Astaroth family, Asia, Kuroka, Raynare, and finally the four seraphs in the flesh. The members of his group were seating right next to him.

Asia was on his right while Kuroka was sitting on his left side. Raynare was after and Shemhazai was right next to her.

"So, are we going to start this discussion?" Sirzechs asks.

"The treaty of no aggression was broken by one of the members of your faction but that's not everything. Diodora Astaroth is his name. It seems that he also has been interfering with other factions and forcing people to join his peerage." Issei says.

His voice is heard around the room.

"That is a lie." Says the father of Ajuka. "None of those ladies were forced to join the peerage of our nephew."

"Do you want to hear it from his own mouth? I can assure you that I can make him talk even in that crappy state of his." Issei looks at the man with anger.

"Guards bring my cousin inside," Ajuka says as he tries not to lose his cool. "If all of this is true, you and I are going to have a serious talk after all of this." Ajuka turns to his parents and they are more afraid of him than anyone else.

The guards bow and go outside for a few seconds before they come back with a broken Diodora. His injuries were given emergency treatment but he was still weak.

The people around the room look at the heir with different emotions.

Azazel was curious about how Diodora had the great idea of facing the Welsh Dragon.

Sirzechs felt no sympathy for the guy and just felt anger toward him.

Serafall looks at Issei and then back at Diodora. "I respect you even more. That's a lot of damage for an eight-year-old dragon. I will invite you one day for some tea."

The four seraphs kept their emotions hidden behind serious faces. Uriel felt fear, Raphael was thinking about how to approach what was coming, Michael was reflecting on this whole situation and Gabriel was happy with the fact that Diodora didn't get to do what he wanted to do.

Shemhazai was trying to hide a smile. He was now waiting for Kokabiel to become the next victim of the Welsh Dragon.

The uncle and aunt of Diodora had to swallow their pride and stay calm after seeing the damage with their own eyes.

Ajuka awaits the confession. "You better be innocent Diodora or I'm going to execute you myself."

Falbium tries to stay awake for the whole meeting but his sleep cycle is starting to get the best of him. He didn't care about what Issei did to Diodora. They had a non-aggression treaty with the Welsh Dragon and if someone from their faction broke it an execution was the only answer.

Kuroka and Raynare were proud of their leader. They would have clapped their hands if it were allowed.

Asia was having a hard time finding some compassion for the devil. He had done so many horrible things and he wanted to do the same to her. She didn't want to see his face but she forced herself to do it because those former nuns needed justice.

His whole peerage was put in cells where they awaited their fate. They were too broken to be even used as witnesses. "Diodora-sama is our savior. He loves us." The fact that each one of them was repeating the same thing didn't help Diodora's case.

"Asia, can you please heal him enough for him to talk clearly? Don't do anything more than that." Issei looks at Asia.

She nods and gets up from her seat she begins to walk towards Diodora.

"Can she really heal his injuries?" The head of the Astaroth family asks.

"She can. Her sacred gear is capable of doing it." Gabriel says. She smiles at Asia and the girl smiles back.

Asia kneels next to Diodora and uses her Twilight Healing on Diodora to cure some of his injuries. She didn't need to do more than what was necessary.

After a few moments, she stops and moves away from the devil. The guards force him to stand up before they wake him up forcefully.

Diodora begins to regain consciousness and looks around the room before his eyes find Issei. His body begins to remember the torture, the pain, the eyes full of rage and he screams. "No! Keep him away from me. Keep that hellish being away from me. I don't want more pain. I don't want more of it!"

His uncle and aunt can't believe his state. He wasn't even close to what he was before.

"If you don't want me to finish what I started you better begin to talk. Tell everyone what you did. Confess your sins, Diodora, or I will make you suffer even more pain. Not a single person in this place can stop me from doing it. You have no protection within this room." Issei says before creating a small fireball on his hand.

Diodora begins to cry before he starts opening the gates of hell.

Everyone in the room hears the atrocities he has been doing since he got the evil pieces. How he began to prey on nuns all around the human world. How he makes plans leads to them being thrown away from their churches before he collects them by feeding them lies. The process in which he broke each one of the fifteen girls physically and how he broke their minds until they could only think of him.

By the end of the whole story, Asia was crying on the floor. The new red dress that was given to her after getting a shower was stained by her tears. She was eight and all of those girls had suffered so much pain because of this bastard. She wanted justice for them but she didn't know if they could ever recover from this. When she got back to her seat, she couldn't let go of Issei's hand. She needed the support.

"Is that all?" Ajuka asks.

"Yes. Asia was my last target." Diodora said.

Ajuka got up from his seat and approached his cousin. "I created those pieces for the sake of our faction. I gave them to you and told you to never use them for things like this. Our faction is dying and you use the pieces to get slaves?"

"Son you- "Ajuka's mother tried to interfere but stopped when she saw his eyes.

"You two told me he was the best heir for our family. You asked me to give him the pieces and look at what he did. I didn't want another war and he was pushing the line with Heaven's faction. You don't get to tell me what to do." Ajuka says before he creates a spear of pure darkness.

The guards move away and Ajuka approaches his cousin.

"I'm sorry." Diodora tries to get mercy from his own family.

Ajuka says nothing and impales him with the spear from head to toe. He looks like a pig ready to be cooked for dinner. Ajuka then snaps his fingers and the spear destroys Diodora leaving no remains behind. "Father, mother get out of this room. You have nothing else to do here." He could easily kill them as well but they were still his parents.

The lady and lord of the Astaroth family say nothing else and walked out.

Ajuka walks back to his seat and tries to cool down. "Michael, Uriel, Raphael, Gabriel I sincerely apologized for what my family did to your people. I created the evil pieces as a way to repopulate our faction. They were never created to use as a way to force a person to join our faction. I'm going to make the necessary changes to prevent this from happening again. If you wish for any compensation, I'm willing to discuss it with you at some other time."

Michael breaks the silence. "You don't need to apologize. You're not the only one responsible for this situation. I as the leader of seraphs admit that I saw the things that were happening to those nuns but choose not to interfere due to the greater good."

"Why? Why would God allow something like this to happen?" Asia asks.

The atmosphere becomes tense. Everyone here knew the secret except for this poor child.

Gabriel takes it upon herself to give her the cruel news. "Asia, during the last major war, God died."

"What?"

"He was weakened due to the seals he put on a beast of pure chaos that goes by the name of 666. He fought a war while knowing that he couldn't endure more damage." Gabriel continues.

"This can't be possible. What is happening to heaven then? What about us? What about the humans on earth?" Asia couldn't believe this.

"Michael has taken the seat of father and we have been supporting him since then. We don't have the power that father had so we are in a dire situation like the other factions. Each one has dwindling numbers. God is the only one that can create angels." Raphael explains.

"Fallen angels can procreate but we can't have kids that easily." Shemhazai continues.

"And devils have the same issues that Fallen angels have," Serafall says.

"We don't have the numbers to protect each other and sometimes we are forced to sacrifice a few innocents because we can't save them. There is also the issue with the state of Christianity and the fact that father didn't want direct intervention with humans unless it was an emergency." Michael then lowers his head. "I'm sorry for failing you but I'm doing what I can to keep heaven stable. We don't have the numbers nor the power to save everyone."

Asia is left speechless and then she looks around. "Is this it? Then everyone can do what they want with humans? Do we just become tools for each of you?"

"No, they can't. Humans are necessary to each faction and neither of those present here wants a war. They can't allow any more of this crap for their own good." Issei looks around and every single one shakes their heads. "Then what are you going to do to fix this pathetic situation? The fallen angels and devils are forming a peaceful alliance. They also have a treaty of non-aggression with me. I can forget what Diodora did but those 15 girls need treatment and the evil pieces need more regulations. You angels need to choose what you're going to do as well."

"We know," Gabriel says. She summons Ascalon and holds it in her hands. "We are ready to make a treaty of non-aggression with you as well. This sword is a gift to you and I offer myself as the representative of our factions like Raynare is the one for the fallen angels."

"Another maid?" Issei receives a glare from Raynare. "It was just a joke."

"No, Gabriel would be our contact with you. She is going to be a part of your group but her powers will be suppressed and her identity is going to be hidden. We just ask for no romance between you two. Father asked us to stay pure and Gabriel is our sister. We don't want her to lose her purity and fall from grace as Azazel did." Michael says before looking at his former brother.

"I'm not offended. I like sex," Azazel says.

Issei just looks at Gabriel and blames his Dragon Male Syndrome for what he started to feel. His instincts were telling him a whole different thing than what the angels were saying but he was going to keep them in check. "God, are you looking at this? Did you plan for this? I'm not touching her! I won't touch that angel." He then looks around the room and decides to test the waters for the idea he had been forming on his head since the meeting began. "What about an alliance between all of us? If all of you share resources and have a complete cease-fire you wouldn't need to worry about the future so much." Issei looks at the leaders.

They look at each other and then look at him. "What would you want from this if the alliance forms?" Azazel asks.

"No aggression with me and no secrets between all sides. I will help each one of you with your problems but you should never betray me nor should you give me any troubles. If the other gods are against me or any other enemy shows up, you three will take my side. I will even take care of rebels within your ranks like I'm going to do with Kokabiel but you will owe me a payment for each of those enemy groups or rebels. I will become the fourth member of the alliance. We can discuss other details as we go along." Issei says as he puts all of his cards on the table.

A few seconds go by where nobody says anything. Each side thinks about their conditions and the benefits before Serafall takes the first word.

"We accept," Serafall says. Sirzechs and the other two just nod in agreement.

"We do as well," Azazel says. Shemhazai seems more relaxed now that he doesn't need to think about another war with heaven.

"We accept the conditions." Michael finalizes the deal. Her siblings approve as well.

"Then congrats you gained an ally and the peace that not even the bible God achieved. Now let's make sure it doesn't break down. Start taking the skeletons out of your closets because each one is going to clean the house and force immediate changes in each of your ranks. I don't care how many have to be killed but each one of you is going to make sure your factions don't mess this up." Issei says. He looks at Asia and the other girls.

Each of them seems happy with the agreement.

Now it was up to him to start eliminating troublesome objects within each faction.

"Let's do this." He was a former human and after seeing the mess that each faction had he was willing to do what was necessary for his own future.

*Notes from the author: Let me just say this. Gabriel is important and whatever Michael and the other seraph say will not stop this in the long run. She is the wild card of heaven (Why do you think there is one female between the seraphs?). Here is the start of the main arc of the story. From here everything goes full speed and drastic changes are going to take place within the three factions. Someone was talking about Ophis being too weird but I just got to say that her kudere side will come back after her arc takes a major turn. That is far from now. Leave your questions on the reviews or send me a private message. I'm out. *
