Dragon of the Elements

by Draconis678

After observing him fighting against the Demon King of his world, Lucifer Sirzechs brings a demon by the name of Kenshin to Kuoh where he soon passes out from his injuries, he is reincarnated as a Devil by Rias who reincarnated the soul he just took in. How will this new twist affect the world around him, and did his family have history in this world? He would soon find out.

128. Battle of Agreas

Draconis: Alright let's get started.

Kenshin and Issei: (still glaring at Draconis.)

Draconis: Will you two stop glaring at me? What if I piss my pants?

Kenshin: Krrh...whatever you damn reference king.

Issei: ….

Draconis: Anyway.

Dragon of the Elements

Chapter 128

Battle of Agreas.

Draconis: Begin!

(start)

Kenshin and Issei were sitting in the former's room. "So that's how it is huh?" Issei asked. "They got Alice-Sama too?"

"Yeah..." Kenshin said. "So I'm...kind of in the same boat as you." Kenshin said.

"Yeah..." Issei said.

The two had left the planning to the more strategic minds like Azazel, Sona and Miyuki. "Kenshin...you were right...I...I should have gone fishing with Dad." Issei said. "I may not have been able to see Ravel, but you could have told her what I was doing and I'm sure she'd have been satisfied."

"They were attacked by Nidhoggr...I know you're strong, but could you have protected Miki and Gorou while fighting him?" Kenshin said.

"...I know what you're trying to say, but..." Issei trailed off.

"...I'm just saying...Nidhoggr is an evil dragon we've never faced before. Even if we asked Rossweisse about him. We'd still be going in blind in the end." Kenshin said.

"..." Issei went silent.

"Honestly...I'm the same as you right now." Kenshin said looking down with saddened eyes. "I'm so fucking worried about Alice...and Luka and Neris whom have yet to be born. I...I need them to be safe."

"Just like I need Mom and Dad to be safe." Issei said before glancing at a photo on Kenshin's desk. "This is..."

Kenshin walked over and smiled. "Yeah. I showed Kazumi this photo and asked her to edit you into it."

It was a picture of Miki, Gorou, Kenshin and Asia after the latter had moved in. The edited version contained an image of Issei crouching down, smiling widely. "Kenshin...thank you..." Issei said with a smile.

"Of course brother." Kenshin said, smiling back, jabbing his arm lightly.

"Brother?" Issei asked.

"Hmn..." Kenshin smiled. "Issei, you'll always be like a brother to me."

"Heheheh." Issei chuckled. '"I see..." He said before his expression became morose. "I...I just hope Mom and Dad are OK."

"Trust me...I do too." Kenshin said before the doors burst open. Kenshin and Issei turned to see Ravel. "Oi Ravel aren't you still-"

"That's not important!" Ravel said. "Both of your career consultations, I was useless to you in crucial moments. I'm so ashamed!"

"I don't care. I'm just glad you're safe Ravel." Kenshin said.

"Yeah, same here." Issei said.

"B-But...I couldn't do anything at all during the critical moments...! During the Devil Uprising, the unrest in Auros..I-!"

Kenshin embraced Ravel. "Stop, don't do that to yourself. Remember how you beat Homura and allowed her to be brought back to Tertium? Or how about when you and Asia healed me in the battle against Forbesii? You've been plenty important in critical moments."

Ravel sobbed against Kenshin's shoulder as she hugged him tightly. Kenshin continued. "With Ravel by my side waiting for me along with everyone else, I'll face the enemy and fight with confidence."

"Yeah, Same here. Even though you like Kenshin. I'm always happy to see your smile." Issei said with a smile. "You're an important person to me."

"Still, in the crucial moment of Issei's parents kidnapping. I couldn't do anything." Ravel said looking down.

"Ravel, you've lived most of your life as a noble devil. I understand why you fell so easily. You're not used to fighting." Kenshin said

"Well no more!" Ravel said looking up at Kenshin with teary eyes. "Kenshin-Sama please train me! I don't want to be a hindrance to you or anyone else!"

"..." Kenshin hugged her again. "Of course, but give me time after this."

"B-But..." Ravel was cut off as Kenshin kissed her on the cheek. "Awawa..." She said with a blush.

Kenshin smiled. "I'll make time for you, and I'm not going to die."

"Yeah." Issei said with a smile, hugging her from behind. "We'll definitely come back to live with everyone!"

"Alice/Dad and Mom, I'm definitely coming to save you!" Kenshin and Issei both thought.

Later.

Everyone was gathered under the Hyoudou household. It had been about half a day since the information had been passed on from Kuroka, Le Fay, Hiruko and Kanon. The very latter had informed Kenshin that Saja, Minagi, and Kanade would be within the fighting force from the outside helping to distract everyone.

"The enemy has still been unable to ascertain that we know where they are." Rias said.

Kenshin looked around. His peerage, Sona's peerage, Rias' peerage, Mana, Negi, Konoka, Setsuna, Irina, Griselda, and Dulio from the Brave Saints. Ikuse Tobio, Kuroka, Le Fay, Kanon and Hiruko were with them.

"As far as we believe they don't know that we know where they are." Kanon said.

"That's good, otherwise this is going to be a shit show." Kenshin said. "Also tell your sisters they're welcome to come here. The only reason I was keeping them from doing so was because of Mr. and Mrs Hyoudou and they've found out by now." Kenshin said.

"Alright." Hiruko said with a nod.

Kenshin nodded back. Kanon grabbed his shoulder. "Really, that Vali character helped us find the place."

"I'm not surprised. He's got a hateboner for Rizevim that surpasses the one I had for Ialda." Kenshin said. "Sairaorg and Seekvaira are probably on standby in the Underworld." He thought.

Azazel spoke up. "Kuroka and Hiruko told me the approximate coordinates of where Agreas has stopped...Ajuka will also help in transporting us over there, but his transportation magic can be considered as a special type, so the number of people he can transfer at a time is limited. Still, without his magic it won't be possible to break through the barrier to transport us to Agreas." Azazel said.

"The first team is a diversionary unit." Azazel said.

Sona stepped forward with her peerage. "That will be handled by us. We'll get the enemy's attention and create an opening." Sona said.

Kenshin closed his eyes. "I'm sorry that I can't provide you with any help as the Youkai Faction will be fighting the forces outside the barrier."

"Don't worry about it. From what we hear the barrier has numerous Evil Dragons surrounding it, so you're keeping them off our backs with the Youkai Faction's help." Sona said with a smile.

"I...didn't think about it like that. Thanks Sona." Kenshin said with a smile.

"So the Sitri peerage will enter the city and fuck things up, causing a diversion alongside Griselda and Dulio." Azazel said. "Then the second team will be the main force."

"Ara, may I be part of the diversionary force?" Alma asked.

"Hrmmm..." Azazel stroked his cheek. "We'll need Kazumi giving callouts anyway. Yeah, as long as you defend Kazumi."

Mana stepped forward from the back. "I could handle the job myself, but I appreciate the help."

"You're welcome~" Alma said, licking her lips, eying up the busty sniper.

"Erubetie, Chachamaru. Do you mind joining the diversionary force?" Kenshin asked.

"I have no problems." Chachamaru said.

"Fine, we'll make sure you don't get overrun." Erubetie said.

"Mm..." Kenshin nodded.

"Thank you for your reinforcements Kenshin." Griselda said.

"Yes." Kenshin said.

"Alright, the second team will be the main force. Issei, Rias, Kenshin, their two peerages that aren't participating in the diversion will assault the enemy head on." Azazel said.

Rias nodded. "Alright. After all I am going to be taking care of Gorou-San and Miki-San...the people who are their own family members should go to save them."

"Yeah...meanwhile we'll save Alice and her children." Yukari said.

Miyuki put on a fierce look. "I won't allow my nephew and niece to be born into captivity like Onee-Chan and I were."

"Diehauser...the second I see you..." Kenshin growled under his breath.

Azazel went on. "I'll also be going with you guys, as well as Tobio, who will support you from the shadows, as for me I'll head toward the power generators in Agreas and try to knock them offline to stop Agreas."

"Fine, just make sure to keep the ones that keep the island afloat online." Kenshin said. "We don't need that giant rock dropping to the ground."

"Right." Azazel nodded before turning to Le Fay. "What about Vali?" Azazel asked.

"He and the other members are on standby near Agreas, looking up at the Evil Dragon force." Le Fay said. "If you don't move soon, Agreas and Vali-Sama's grandfather may escape.

"Ufufufufu." Kuroka giggled. "Vali, Arthur and Bikou already fronted off the Youkai Faction's forces, telling them to be patient. That when the signal came, they'd know it. For Vali it wasn't easy to catch the enemy's tail, so he definitely won't let them get away again." Kuroka said.

"Thanks Vali..." Kenshin said under his breath.

"So you're that determined huh?" Issei said.

"Anyway. You all have to be careful. That bastard Rizevim isn't just any ordinary guy." Azazel said. "We have no idea what he will pull. Pay attention to every single step. Even in the worst scenario, we need to rescue Issei's parents and Alice-Sama and get them out of there!"

Kenshin stepped forward. "Also...I have grim news." He said. "Be prepared to fight the Shinigami Yama...as well as Ragnarok Kuroshi."

"Eh? Kenshin are you sure?" Azazel asked.

"After that beating I laid down on Rizevim...there's no way he didn't contact Yama...who exhumed, revived and enslaved Ragnarok." Kenshin said.

"I see..." Azazel said with a grim look, before turning to everyone with a bold smile. "Alright, but remember this point well. Those bastards have entered the sanctuary they shouldn't have entered. They are a group of bastards who deserve to die. We absolutely cannon forgive them. If you're able to defeat them, then turn them to dust. I'll allow it!"

"!" Kenshin and Yukari's eyes widened for a moment, before they both smirked. "Hmhmhm..." Yukari thought. "Hope you're ready Qlippoth. A couple of assassins have made you their marks.

"Absolute Killing Perfection is coming for you Diehauser!" Kenshin thought.

"Hold on." Everyone heard a voice call out. They turned to see Katerea entering the room, putting Rias, Sona their peerages as well as Tobio, Griselda and Dulio on guard.

"I didn't believe it when Kenshin told me, but he really did leave you alive." Azazel said.

"I come in peace." Katerea said raising her hands up. "I want to come with you all." She said.

"You honestly expect us to believe yo-"

"OK." Kenshin said cutting Rias off.

"Kenshin, are you sure?" Sona asked. "What if she betrays us? She did want to take Onee-Sama's spot as Leviathan."

"I don't want it anymore." Katerea said shaking her head. "My attacking the summit was never released to the public so I can still live a normal life. He told me about the Council and honestly I'd probably just end up blowing someone's head off." Katerea said before Kenshin approached her. She held out her cuffed wrists.

"Though understand Katerea. If you do betray us. I'll end you without a second thought." Kenshin said.

"..." Katerea watched as Kenshin uncuffed her. Her mana returning. She grabbed her wrists, feeling the tight constraints coming off of her.

"Come on." Kenshin said.

"Right." Katerea nodded.

The Sitri team as well as Dulio, Griselda and the Brave Saints all stepped into the circle first. "Good Luck and stay safe Sitris and Brave Saints." Kenshin said with a smile.

"Yes!" They all said before disappearing.

(break)

Later

(Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!)

A battle was flaring up all around them, in and out of the barrier.

When Kenshin, Rias their peerages as well as Tobio Ikuse, Mana, Hiruko, Kanon, Sextum, and Katerea all arrived the latter five along with Kazumi and Chachamaru all stepped forward. "Sorry, but I need to do my own job. I wish you the best of luck. Hyoudou Issei-kun, Kuroshi Tsuki Kenshin-kun you must absolutely rescue your parents and Alice-Sama." Tobio said before disappearing.

"Well, Kazumi-Chan, Mana-Chan, should we get going?" Alma asked.

"Might as well." Kazumi said.

"Just get me to a good vantage point and let me go to work." Mana said.

"Alright then." Alma said.

Erubetie and Chachamaru both nodded as thy charged into the city. Kenshin and Rias both raised their voices as one. "Let's go!" They both roared. Both groups had exited the park area. They looked on as a massive number of mass produced Evil Dragons circled the government building they were heading toward numerous Evil Dragons surrounded the building on standby. "Well this bites." Miyuki said.

"We should have figured that they'd defend their home fort." Negi said.

Kenshin glanced at her. "I know her fighting will help burn off Ialda's fetid mana, but part of me is still worried." He thought thinking back to how she snapped at him when he found out she'd fought the exorcists and reprimanded her for it."

"I'm not a glass figurine so stop treating me like it!"

Koneko's face scrunched up in disgust. "It smells horrid, I think we've been discovered." She said pointing at the middle of the Evil Dragons. A long and slender snake like creature emerged. It had black scales and a dense and powerful aura.

"Guha, guhehehehe. COME OUT ALREADY! YOU GUYS ARE OVER THERE!"

Everyone nodded and walked out. "Damn you're one ugly sack of shit Nidhoggr." Kenshin said.

"This aura. Hello New Dragon of the Elements." Nidhoggr laughed.

"Nidhoggr." Ddraig said through Issei's Boosted Gear.

"Aaah, Ddraig too? Long time no see...you've become quite puny." Nidhoggr said.

"So you're the bastard that caused Ophis to end up in the state she's in?" Issei asked.

"Guhe, Guhehehe. That's right, Lucifer's son told me that there was an extremely tasty dragon egg, then sent me in there. After I had arrived I found that Ophis who had also become small was in there. I demanded she hand the egg over to me, but in the end I got rejected, but that egg is a truly delicious egg. So I wanted to snatch it up. Also, you're the brat of those two humans right? After I had shown I was holding them hostage Ophis backed down. It was really amazing.

"Just like in the video..." Issei and Kenshin thought.

"I beat her really hard she didn't even try to fight back. So I beat her even harder.

"I who shall awaken..." Rias turned to find Issei and Kenshin both chanting to themselves as Nidhoggr spoke of it's atrocities with a gleeful expression. Issei and Kenshin both proceeded to walk toward Nidhoggr.

"Because that Infinite Dragon God didn't resist at all, only guarding the egg. I just happily beat her down over and over, kicking, stomping, biting. It's been a long time since I was that happy! Guhehehehehe! It was really too cool! Still I didn't get to eat the egg so I'm hungry. Since this is a rare opportunity, why don't I eat you. The meat of a little Ddraig and Neo Ragnarok wouldn't be too back right? Oh yeah. I should also eat your father and mother, before slurping that lamia like a noodle!"

"...And I will lead you to the path of heaven glowing in deep crimson light./ And I will navigate the light and the dark to bring you to a peaceful end."

"Cardinal Crimson Full Drive!/ Abyssal Elemental Overdrive!"

"Issei, get some boosts together! I'm going in first!" Kenshin said shooting toward Nidhoggr. "Earth Gauntlets!" Kenshin said as gauntlets of stone formed over his fists. One of the Evil Dragons rushed him. "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY! !" Kenshin roared punching at it, his fist propelling with wind from the gauntlet at the last second, blowing the dragon's head clean off.

Nidhoggr created a barrier to block Kenshin. "You're hungry huh? !" Kenshin shouted. "Well I'm feeling a little too clean right now! Let me take a bath in your blood! !"

"You're awfully angry Dragon of the Elements! I didn't do anything to you!" Nidhoggr laughed sinisterly.

"You not only beat down Ophis...you threatened to eat Alice and my two children! That's reason enough to kill you!" Kenshin roared. "Gnome increase the durability of the gauntlets. Sylph, Salamander more wind and increase the propulsion with flames. Undine keep my hands wet so they don't burn."

"Right!" The Yonseirei chorused.

"Hrrgggh!"Kenshin kept punching at Nidhoggr's barrier, his fists speeding up at the last minute.

(crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!)

"Guhehehehehehe! Keep going! You won't break it!" Nidhoggr laughed.

Kenshin smirked. "You don't even know half the power I'm hiding. In any case Issei NOW!"

"Solid Impact Booster! !"

Issei's fist not only broke through Nidhoggr's barrier, but sent him flying into the government building. Everyone took this as their sign to attack. Issei landed next to Kenshin and they slammed the sides of their fists next to one another. "Nice shot brother." Kenshin said with a wide smirk.

"Thanks for the distraction." Issei said before noticing they were being surrounded. "Raikouryuu!"

"Burraaahhhh!"

Kenshin and Issei watched as Akeno's holy lightning dragon and Gasper's beast form laid into the evil dragon forces. A group of Evil Dragons rushed Gasper.

"Iacaulatio Grandinis!" A shower of ice spears pinned them to the building allowing Gasper to take them out.

"Evangeline-Sensei?" Gasper said.

"Allow me to fight alongside my darling student. I never had the chance to do this with Negi." Evangeline said.

"Elemental Spica! !" Yukari, Miyuki and Granberia all shouted at the same time, punching at the rubble Issei and Kenshin left Nidhoggr under. Meanwhile Konoka, Asia and Hikari were healing everyone's exhaustion. "I hope I'm not holding you two back." Konoka said with a sheepish smile.

"Nonsense Konoka, you're doing great." Hikari said with a wide smile.

"Yes Konoka-San." Asia said with a smile of her own. "I can't restore energy but apparently you can! You're a great help!"

"Awww~ Thanks you two!" Konoka smiled widely.

Setsuna shot toward Nidhoggr with Negi in tow. "You ready Setsuna-San?" Negi said.

"Right!" Setsuna said wielding Takemikazuchi as Konoka poured power into it. "Shin Raikouken!"

"..." Negi went into a chant before gasping softly in effort. "Kilipli Astrape!" Setsuna's attack slammed into Nidhoggr's barrier, shattering it before Negi's spell slammed into him. Both Setsuna and Negi chorused. "Invitation unto the Thousand Thunderbolts! !"

"!" Raynare whom was with the group saw numerous Evil dragons baring down on them and lobbed numerous red spears at the crowd, knocking them back. "Haa! Thanks Raynare-San!" Setsuna said.

"Don't thank me yet, you've got incoming!" Raynare said.

(Bang Bang Bang Bang!)

The Evil Dragons in pursuit of Setsuna all fell to the ground dead. "You're welcome Sakurazaki. Next time pay closer attention." Mana said through a communication circle.

"My apologies." Setsuna said.

Meanwhile Asia and Konoka were helping keep everyone healed and energized as Koneko and Rossweisse let loose. "You're really good at this Konoka-San." Asia said with a smile.

"Hehe~ Thanks Asia-Chan you are too." Konoka giggled as everyone proceeded into the building. "Hmn...? Granberia-San must be holding back until later."

"What do you mean?" Asia asked.

"She doesn't seem to be taking this very seriously." Konoka said.

They were cut off by a voice roaring out. "OOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW IT HUUUUUUUURRRTTTSSSSS!"

Kenshin and Issei looked onward to see Nidhoggr exit the building, his face even more distorted and fucked up than usual. "What the hell you damned fucking devils! I'll kill you. I'm going to devour you."

"COME AND FUCKING TRY IT THEN!" Kenshin roared, his armor shattering as the orbs of his Balance Breaker fused into his skin. "You wanna eat my brother, his parents and the mother of my children? Absolute Killing Perfection doesn't even BEGIN to describe what I'm going to do to you! !"

"Right! I'll become Crimson Death itself for what you've said! Now let's see you do it! !" Issei said as he and Kenshin rushed forward. "Kenshin you go for the face I'll go for the gut!"

"RIGHT!" Kenshin roared as he sailed for Nidhoggr's face as the elements surrounded his right leg. "Elemental Ax!" He said slamming his shin into Nidhoggr's face before shouting. "Go Issei!" Kenshin said as Issei flew underneath them both, to Nidhoggr's abdomen. Kenshin flew to it's back and together, they both let Nidhoggr's back and front have it!"

"This bastard doesn't have the strength to fight back against our high speed movements. It's spitting blood out of it's mouth so graciously." Issei thought. "You also used my parents as hostages"

"You threatened Ophis...We won't let you go with just a beating. No! You're going to die!" Kenshin said as he and Issei gripped Nidhoggr's throat tightlet.

"Grrrhhh!" Nidhoggr growled. "I'll flatten you both!"

Kenshin and Issei glanced over and saw Nidhoggr's front paws raising to crush them. "I'll take the right, you take the left?" Issei asked.

"Hrmn." Kenshin smirked. "Make it so."

Kenshin and Issei flashed in front of Nidhoggr's face and slammed their fists into it's nose, sending it flying back into government building. "Don't you dare assault my family's Dragon God-Sama! You Bastard!" Issei shouted.

"That's right! Don't you dare assault my Ophis!" Kenshin roared.

"Issei, Kenshin!" The two turned to see Raynare and Rias approaching.

"Issei let's use that technique to end it." Raynare said. "Seeing as Seekvaira isn't here I'll sub in for her."

"Kenshin, remember back in Makai when I was using your Balance Breaker?" Rias said.

"Yeah?" Kenshin said while Issei sent out his wyverns to attach themselves to Raynare, forming armor around her before finally completing a Scale Male. He placed his hand on Rias' chest, focusing. "You know what she wants me to do right?"

"Yeah, we can do it." Salamander said.

"Transfer!" Kenshin's Boosted Gear shouted.

"Embrace!" "Elemental Destruction Princess" "Crimson Downfall Dragonar!" (1 )

Kenshin's Scale Mail samurai armor fitted over Rias. Raynare glanced at her. "Huh, that looks great on you Gremory."

"Thanks." Rias said. "That Scale Mail looks good on you as well Raynare."

"Enough talking, we've got an Evil Dragon fuck to exterminate." Kenshin said tossing Rias one of his naginatas.

"Let's go!" Issei said.

"Right!" Raynare said forming a spear of light.

The four flew into the government building. The four of them laid into Nidhoggr with a blistering series of melee attacks with destruction and spears while this was going on Kenshin couldn't help commenting. "Hey Raynare. You've been getting stronger and now you're wearing Issei's Scale Mail. Why are your spears still so slender?"

"Every Fallen has their own style. I just prefer nimbler light spears. Trust me I'm not holding anything back here." Raynare said.

"OK, was just curious is all." Kenshin said.

"Yeah that's fair." Raynare nodded.

Rias lined the naginata she was given with destruction magic and slashed it into Nidhoggr numerous times while Kenshin and Issei beat Nidhoggr down before appearing under it's chin. "Your scent makes me want to fucking puke! Do me the favor of dying!" Kenshin shouted.

"Haaaaaaa!" Issei yelled as he and Kenshin both leaped upward, uppercutting Nidhoggr into the sky by Kenshin and Issei after Rias and Issei. The two women landed next to them. "I can't really use your abilities." Raynare said.

"I know." Issei nodded.

"It's...rough using yours Kenshin." Rias said.

"We'll have to train, and I'll have to take that back soon." Kenshin said. "Hm?" He said seeing Nidhoggr hit the ground, before glowing with a faint light. "!" Kenshin gasped in shock. "No! Get ready everyone. This bastard's packing Phoenix Tears!" He said as Nidhoggr emerged unharmed.

"It really is a convenient item. The injuries you gave me just now have all been healed! I won't let you have your way again, I definitely won't forgive you guys!" Nidhoggr shouted as a black miasma burst forth from Nidhoggr's entire body.

"That miasma, it will cause damage as soon as it touches you." Rias said.

"Yeah, we'll have to do something about it."

"Gentle Wind Shell!" Kenshin shouted as he clapped his hands together. The Miasma being blown away and back toward Nidhoggr.

"So they have Phoenix tears...we'll just have to whoop his ass until they run out!" Issei said.

(clap!)

A hand smacked itself on Kenshin and Issei's shoulders. They turned to see Crom Cruach. "Those words are truly those of a dragon. Hearing them makes even me delighted." He said walking forward. "Nidhoggr, you're really are too naïve."

"Wait Crom Cruach, why are you here?" Rias asked.

Rias was ignored as Nidhoggr stared at Crom. "Guhehehe! If it isn't Master Crom! Although I was a little scared during our last encounter, together with me, you and I, let's swallow those guys up."

(DOONNNN!)

Without warning, Crom slashed his right arm which had transformed into a massive dragon's claw and struck Nidhoggr directly while it had it's guard down. "OWWWW, IT HURTS! IT HURTS SO MUCH! W-Why would you hit me!" Nidhoggr said as fresh blood sprayed out of it's wounds. Crom flexed his muscles as he grunted.

"You guys are too fond of playing little tricks." Crom said. "I owe a debt to the Sekiryuutei and the Dragon of the Elements because I allowed Ophis to be beaten, but really. I originally intended to learn what a dragon was by observing Ophis...however you hindered that by attacking her while holding the Sekiryuutei's parents hostage...Well then, how about I destroy you until there's not even a single speck left?" Crom looked upward with a glare. "You see that Rizevim Livan Lucifer! Even if you want to control many Evil Dragons, you are mistaken!"

Crom's black coat fluttered about as his aura shot outward. "A true dragon will not be constrained from it's birth until it's death! It obeys only it's own will! That is what it means to be a dragon!" Crom said before turning his head to Issei, Raynare, Kenshin and Rias, pointing to the top floor of the government building. "Go." He said.

"Are you sure?" Kenshin asked, the Abyssal Scale Mail reforming over him.

"I'm fine...this won't even be a challenge." Crom said.

"Very well." Kenshin said relaxing his stance. "Granberia Tamamo, Yukari and Miyuki on me! If Ragnarok is up there we're gonna need all the help we can get!" Kenshin said.

"Right!" They all shouted.

"Issei, Asia! Leave this place to us!" Rias said. "Go save ogifu-sama and ogibo-sama as their 'son' and 'daughter'! And Kenshin, go save Alice-Sama and your children!" Rias said.

"Konoka! You and Setusna stay here and help with the healing!" Kenshin said.

"Right!" Konoka and Setsuna shouted.

"I'm coming with you!" Negi said.

"Gah! I don't have time to argue, just be careful!" Kenshin shouted.

"I told you to stop treating me like a glass figurine!" Negi shouted.

"And I'm not!" Kenshin shouted back. "Excuse the fuck out of me for worrying about you Negi!"

"..." Negi paused. "...I see...I'm sorry Kenshin, but I'll be fine I promise."

"..." Kenshin looked back at her with a nod. "If you're sure, it's your body after all." Kenshin said before turning toward the incoming ceiling. "You're carrying Asia so hang back Issei, let me worry about the ceilings!" Kenshin said before a red spear broke the ceiling above them. "?" He glanced back, seeing Raynare as well. "Thanks for the assist I guess...!" Kenshin looked forward as a crowd of Evil Dragons flew in front of them. However a holy demonic sword slashed past them, seemingly split into three as numerous Evil Dragons fell at high speed.

"Sandanzuki!"

"!" Kenshin thought. "That's one of Souji's techniques!"

"Issei-kun! Kenshin-kun! Hurry up and go! Xenovia, Irina, please accompany them and protect Asia!" Kiba said.

Xenovia and Irina rushed over grabbing Kenshin and Issei's shoulders respectively. "Let us accompany you up there, Asia! Negi!"

"NO! I WON'T LET YOU GO!" Nidhoggr yelled before being stopped by Crom.

"I'm your opponent Nidhoggr. It's been a long time since I've let people see this, but I'll let you experience it today." Crom said as a powerful aura exploded out of him. Kenshin and Issei stared at him. It was far more powerful than what he had shown at Romania. A black aura enveloped him. Everyone fighting just stopped and looked over at him. His body began to transform. His arms, legs back and head all changed into an appearance a dragon would have. His now Dragon body emitted a black and gold aura. His two wings spread rapidly. As he breathed, light flames came out.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhh? !" Nidhoggr screamed.

"Kenshin...I-I may or may not be pissing myself right now." Issei said.

"Issei...right now I think even the Demigod State would have a rough time with this." Kenshin said with wide eyes. "Like I could hold my own, but he could most certainly out last me."

Crom pointed at one of Nidhoggr's trembling hands. "How many of those so-called Phoenix Tears are you holding? Ten? Twenty? In front of me Crom Cruach, enjoy using them...but I'll definitely kill you over a hundred times! I'll chase you down relentlessly until your consciousness perishes!"

"Guuuwaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!" Nidhoggr awkwardly try to attack Crom, who dodged all the attempts and sent a straight punch at Nidhoggr sending it's massive body through several buildings. "

"Guys, we should get moving." Xenovia said.

"Right." Issei said. "As much as I wanna watch Crom wipe the floor with him. We have more important things to worry about."

"Right! Yo Crom! Pop that fucker once in the mouth for me!" Kenshin said as he took out a pactio card.

"Hrmph! Already planned on it." Crom said.

"Wait!"

Issei, Asia, Kenshin, Irina, Xenovia, Negi Granberia, Tamamo, Yukari, Miyuki and Raynare watched as Katerea ran up to them. "What?" Kenshin asked.

"I'm coming with you." Katerea said.

"...And give you the chance to betray us? Fat chance." Granberia snorted.

"I merely want to ask Rizevim something." Katerea said. "After that I'm gone."

"Fine." Kenshin said. "Adeat."

His dual blade naginata appeared in front of him which he immediately let drop to the floor on it's flat side. He stepped onto both blades flat edges. "I'm sorry Xenovia but could you fly on your own?" Kenshin asked.

"Alright." Xenovia said.

"..." The dual blade began to float with Kenshin standing on it. "Alright, let's get going." Kenshin said.

While being held by Issei Asia bowed toward Crom. "U-Um, thank you very much!" She said.

"Banana." Crom said.

"Eh?" Asia said.

"Bananas are a wonderful thing no?" Crom said, his jaw upturned as if he were smiling.

"That guy is a dragon that has been watching the human world for a long time." Issei said.

"Yeah." Kenshin nodded.

"Partner, Kenshin, you two definitely can't forget Crom Cruach's appearance just now. That is the ultimate form of an Evil Dragon who has single mindedly pursued power. Kenshin you're not wrong to assume that even your Demigod State would have a lot of trouble dealing with him." Ddraig said.

"Right! There are a lot of Dragons worth learning from! That's why I definitely have to become the strongest and greatest Dragon! To become the Sekiryuutei! I'll definitely surpass Crom Cruach!" Issei thought.

"Heh." Kenshin smirked as they all flew upward, he himself using mana to stick himself to his dual blade so he could fly vertically upward.

"!" Everyone looked upward seeing

"Haaaaaah! Oryaaaaahhh! Yaaaaaaaahhh!" Xenovia, Irina and Raynare fires off waves of holy energy.

"Let me help!" Katerea said sending blasts of mana at the countless barrage of Evil Dragons.

"Try to aim at the backs of their necks if you can!" Kenshin said. "We can't afford to spend time here!"

"Aah!" Negi turned around flying on her staff. "Xenovia-San, Irina-San! We got incoming from behind!"

Xenovia turned around and joined her. "Irina, Raynare you handle the ones in front! Create a path for everyone else."

"Aah? !" Negi felt herself being grabbed and thrown backward on her staff. She looked to see Tamamo flying past her. "Tamamo-San? !"

"Go with Kenshin. I'm entrusting his safety to you as his Queen." Tamamo said. "I can handle this rabble."

"!" Negi realized what Tamamo was actually saying "Go with Kenshin. I know you want to help him in a better way than this." She saw turn her head and smile at her. "Don't worry, I can handle this rabble easily, especially with their help." Tamamo said.

"Right. Thank you Tamamo." Negi said following after Kenshin, Yukari, Miyuki, Granberia and Asia whom was still being carried by Issei.

"Leave this place to us! You guys charge into the interior through that bottom window and then run up!" Irina said slashing Hauteclere and destroyed a section of a glass wall.

"Fine! I'll leave the rest to you!" Issei said. "Don't die!"

Irina smirked confidently. "Please. Like I'd die here!"

As Kenshin and Issei's group left. Raynare smiled coyly as they took out Evil Dragons left and right. "Was that confidence I heard in your voice? Careful too much of it and bam! You're just like me." Raynare said. "Pride is a sin you know."

"Oh please, being confident in oneself isn't a sin!" Irina said as they took out numerous Evil Dragons.

As they landed on the top floor Kenshin hopped off his dual blade and grabbed it. A few Evil dragons were proceeding through the corridors as they proceeded. However as they came in front of a particular room with several screens on it, all displaying Diehauser Belial's face. Kenshin growled in anger.

Issei heard shaking and looked down to see Kenshin's artifact Chimei Supairaru shaking in his hand.

"Good day, members of the Underworld. I am Diehauser Belial. My whereabouts were previously unknown, but as you can see. I am currently safe."

"Not for long." Kenshin snarled.

"Wait Kenshin...he's addressing this to the Underworld itself...did they hack into the TV stations?" Issei asked.

"Issei...I really don't fucking care right now." Kenshin said.

"Next, I have something which I must tell everyone. That is...the darkness of the Rating Games." Diehauser said. "In my generation like fast growing mushrooms, talented Devils appeared one after another."

"Fuck this! Keep move all of you!" Kenshin said as they all continued to move to the top floor.

"Yet they struggle at the forefront of the Rating Games. Second Rank Roygun Belphegor and Third Rank Bedeze Abaddon have learnt from each other that the contenders of the Games are praised by people."Everyone came up to the stairs as Diehauser continued. "But, I have heard of some disturbing news. Regardless of whether it's Roygun, Bedeze, or other contestants. They weren't very outstanding devils when they were young. When I first heard about it, I laughed it off, I thought they were just rumors as a result of jealousy toward those who had gained results with their talent." Diehauser's tone lowered immensely. "Yet...on a certain day, my cousin Cleria told me that she had obtained some interesting information about the Rating Game." Diehauser went on. "I just replied that it was nothing more than an urban legend. However she kept going, kept looking for information, yet during that time While she had been wardening the Kuoh region of Japan. She told me that Ajuka Beelzebub's hideout is nearby. She said it was quite popular amongst some people that Ajuka-Sama had been making the game somewhere in Japan due to his interest."

As they ran, Diehauser went further. "Don't bother the Satans, no matter what don't carelessly approach that place, alright?"

"Yet if she had gone to Ajuka...she's probably still be alive right now." Miyuki said before Diehauser said. "Still...having heard the stories about contestants and the higher ups from the Champion since she was young. She was highly interested in it." Miyuki deduced. "She kept poking around, collecting information about it didn't she? Alone at that."

"Then the investigation was cut off halfway. It was clear that Cleria believed there was something big behind it all..." Yukari said.

"She was someone important to him more than anything else. She was regarded as his little sister." Kenshin said. "Grh! I don't care! That doesn't explain why he attacked the Grand Cardinals and kidnapped Alice!"

"She...just because of some little story of mine, was killed. Because I stayed in the position of Champion, more than anything I was displeased about the ridiculous reports that the reporters made." Diehauser said.

Kazumi frowned as she heard this. Alma noticed this. "Is something the matter Kazumi-Chan?"

"Ridiculous reports? I don't doubt Diehauser Belial's words, but I hate reporters who don't report the truth." Kazumi said. "Don't report until you find the truth."

Diehauser went on. "She knew everything about me, she knew my strength was genuine, to me, she was a family member more important than anything else. I always regarded her as my own little sister." He said, his tone filled with sorrow before calming himself. "Speaking of the conclusion, it's clear Cleria was erased along with her lover, the exorcist Masanomi Yaegaki. She was eliminated by the government of the Underworld. This wasn't the decision of the Old Devils. Because these facts were covered up, I didn't know the truth. I was only told that my cousin Cleria had died. In order to resolve my suspicions I relied on a certain pipeline, and finally learned the truth."

"...I was a fool." Kenshin said with a growl. "His pipeline was obviously Qlippoth...There's no way he wouldn't be ordered to harm innocents eventually..."

"The conclusion is that the King Piece exists, and in the photos and information that I am now showing everyone, they have only obtained the strength that they have as a result of using the King Piece." Diehauser said before Kenshin's group arrived at the top floor of the government building. He cut his broadcast off. "So...Sekiryuutei-kun, Dragon of the Elements...what do you plan to do with me? By giving this truthful information to the masses, it'll be enough to condemn those guys." Diehauser explained. "Moreover, there are also the matters regarding Agreas and what I did during the match with Raiser Phenex."

Kenshin stepped forward with a deep scowl on his face. "Why did you do it Belial?"

"..." Diehauser went silent.

"ANSWER ME! !" Kenshin roared.

"Anything's fine in this situation." Everyone looked up to see Rizevim emerging from the shadow of the display equipment.

"Besides Kenshin...it wasn't out of his own will. I was the one to give the order." Kenshin glanced over seeing Yama emerging as well. "Oh little brother~!" He called out.

(stomp!)

A figure landed, wearing blue samurai armor, thick black pants and shirt. He raised his head and looked up at the group in front of him soullessly.

"I fucking knew it." Kenshin growled. "Ragnarok!"

"..." The now named Ragnarok turned to Kenshin, but didn't say anything, holding Kuroi Jigoku at the ready.

Before any fighting could begin, Katerea cut through the crowd. "Rizevim!"

"Aaah, Katerea-Chan, how nice to see you again." Rizevim said. "Will you be rejoining us?"

"..." Katerea looked back at Kenshin who scowled. "Answer one question for me." Katerea said.

"Oh?" Rizevim said.

"While I traveled the Makai Deadlands with Kenshin Kuroshi. He mentioned something to me about Creusarey being useless to you. So I have to ask, what were we to you?" Katerea asked.

"..." Rizevim stared for a moment before laughing. "You're asking that? ! Katerea, you got killed so easily by Azazel! Creusarey got dusted by Sirzechs before I revived him only to get beheaded by Kenshin, Shalba was the most useful out of you all, at least he faced DxD twice!"

"..." Katerea bowed her head. "I see...SO WE WERE NOTHING THEN!" Katerea screamed shooting a blast of mana at him.

"Oh please." Rizevim said countering with an even bigger blast of mana.

"? !" Katerea's eyes widened in fear before a trio of figures all got in front of her, deflecting the blast. Everyone looked up as it exploded against the ceiling.

"So Katerea, can I take this as you being on our side?" In front of her stood Kenshin, Yukari and Miyuki.

"Yes." Katerea said.

"Well, what do you want to do?" Miyuki asked. "Stay here and fight with us, or go back down and help Tamamo, Raynare, Xenovia and Irina?"

"..." Katerea hardened her resolve. "I'll help you all here."

"Very well." Miyuki said.

Rizevim stepped forward and patted Diehauser's shoulder. "I've already allowed this as the son of Lucifer Belial."

"...Rizevim-Sama..." Diehauser said with a look of regret.

Rizevim turned to Kenshin and Issei's group. "Seems we meet again after our previous meeting in Heaven, Sekiryuutei, Dragon of the Elements, also Princess of the Golden Dragon-kun!"

"And hey! I'm even here too!" Yama said.

"Yo...son of Lucifer. I really wanted to see you..." Issei growled. "Well hurry up and return them, my parents! Also why would you go after Ophis? !"

Rizevim shrugged at his question. "Well after Kenshin turned Lilith. I needed the assistance of one of them. Nidhoggr relied on Azi Dahaka's magic and kidnapping your parents to enter the underground space of the town that you all live in. It worked beautifully. Ophis considers you as a close friend so she wouldn't put your friends and family in harms way. So she allowed herself to be beaten into the ground." Rizevim said.

Kenshin and Issei's anger continued to build.

Yama stepped in. "Also Kenshin. I was the one who ordered Belial over here to kidnap dear lady Alice." He said with a smirk. "Also Belial, my threat still stands."

"?" Kenshin glanced over at Diehauser who had a look of regret and misery on his face.

"Also, It's really nice of you to make it. There's also someone else, a highly important guest who has arrived." Rizevim said before the glass wall to their right shattered. It was Vali who had crashed through it.

"Vali!" Granberia said with a smile.

Vali, clad in his Balance Breaker glared down at Rizevim. "You're cornered Rizevim." He growled.

"I have people to distract Kenshin, the Sekiryuutei and his friends...so really how cornered am I?" Rizevim asked with a coy smile.

"Hey Vali, what about the others?" Issei asked.

"They're with the Youkai Faction and the two separate peerages within the barrier, going on a rampage." Vali said.

"Well, let me do this with you. I know you don't want anyone else getting involved, but I'm also somewhat involved." Issei said.

"No..." Kenshin descended. "Issei. I know how much you wanna beat Rizevim into a paste, but I need you elsewhere. Trust in Vali and his teammate to beat Rizevim."

Issei backed away. "What is it?" Issei asked.

"..." Kenshin went into thought. "Alright! Team one will engage Rizevim! Vali, Granberia and Katerea he's all yours!"

"Good!" Vali smirked behind his helmet.

Granberia smirked as well. "I'll be able to show what I've accomplished!"

"Hrmn..." Katerea made a staff appear in her hand. "Well I'll bring up the rear and keep you two upright with healing magic, I'll get my licks in here and there." She said.

"Alright." Vali said.

"We're trusting our backs to you, Betray us and you're dead." Granberia said.

"Yes Yes, I know my position don't worry I'm not going to betray you." Katerea said.

"Team two will engage Yama!" Kenshin said. "Issei, I need you to help Yukari with this."

"...As long as my parents are safe I don't care." Issei said.

"Miyuki...I'm afraid you and Negi drew the short stick, because I want you two on Ragnarok."

Miyuki hardened her gaze. "Negi, are you ready?"

Negi hardened her gaze as well. "Always...is he really that strong though?"

"Negi, at a quarter of his strength he routinely beat us into the dirt through his scroll self and even then him at one hundred percent was still holding back because of his Malak Seal." Miyuki said.

"Oh? So you know about the Malak Seal?" Ragnarok asked.

"Kenshin has one on him as well." Miyuki said. "But wait Onii-Chan...this arrangement leaves you to face Diehauser Belial alone!"

"Which is just what I want." Kenshin said with a growl.

"WAIT!"

"? !" Everyone looked over to see Draco bursting upward, shooting arrows at Yama.

"Heheheh!"Yama smirked as he swatted them away before they exploded.

"I'm joining the team going after Yama! If we kill him Ragnarok is free!" Draco said.

"Oh please Draco, let's not pretend this isn't personal!" Yama laughed. "What about dear Taimu-Chan!"

"Grrrrhhhhhh!" Draco shot several bolts at Yama causing the entire group to separate.

"...So he can't face me himself so he lines up his little sister and first lover against me." Ragnarok said.

"Don't insult us like that Ragnarok-Ossan." Miyuki said. "Belial kidnapped the woman that's pregnant with his children...of course he's going to focus on him!"

"..." A dark aura surrounded Negi. "Miyuki-San. Keep him off me for a moment"

"Haaa!" Miyuki yelled out, going into the Vessel of the Elements. "You got it! One or Two? !"

"I won't leave you hanging for long." Negi said.

"One it is then!" Miyuki said rushing Ragnarok. "Haaa!"

"Majestic Flame Breath!" Ragnarok shouted breathing out a stream of fire at Miyuki.

"Wind and Water Shell!" Miyuki shouted shooting through the stream of fire.

"? !" Ragnarok's eyes widened as Miyuki's fist laid into his face. "Gaaah!" He was knocked back, but caught his bearings.

"Haaaaa!" Miyuki punched at Ragnarok again, but this time he caught her fist.

"...That was a good punch Miyuki Tsuki." Ragnarok said. "However...that's all it was." He said before punching at her.

(clench!)

"Hm?" Ragnarok glanced over, seeing Negi wreathed in purple lightning holding his wrist.

"I don't believe we've met Ragnarok-San." Negi said. "I'm Negi Springfield, and this is my armament magic, Raiten Taisou!" The purple lightning crackled. "Chihayaburu Ikazuchi!" She said tackling him backward.

"..." Ragnarok was driven backward, but looked unimpressed. "I give you credit, you're fast...but unfortunately...that's all you are."

"Grhh..." Negi growled.

"Haaa!" Miyuki kicked at Ragnarok's face which he ducked under her kick

"Grrh!" Negi growled. "Raika Houken!" Negi said charging toward Ragnarok, cocking her fist back.

"Earth Guard!" Ragnarok shouted as Negi's fist shot toward his chest.

"Grrhh..." Negi growled.

"Like I said, speed is all you got!" Ragnarok said slamming his fist into her chest, sending her crashing to the ceiling.

"Haaa!" Miyuki said driving her knee into Ragnarok's face. "Don't toy with my sister in all but blood old man!" Miyuki said.

"..." Ragnarok let out a light growl as he shoved her knee back down with his chin.

"Haaaa!" Negi rushed back downward, driving him back. "Adeat!" Her artifact appeared in her hand. "Adeat!" She said taking out Ensis Exorcizans.

"Guah? !" Ragnarok's eyes widened as she cleaved one of his arms off. He grabbed the severed limb and jumped back.

"Where do you think you're going?" Negi said.

"? !" His eyes widened as he turned to find Negi behind him. Her fist shining brightly. "Ouka Houken!" She said uppercutting him into the air. She rushed forward at lightning fast speed and took his back, driving her elbow into his spine, sending him toward Miyuki whose hand shined brightly with the elements.

"Elemental Spica!" Miyuki said slamming her fist into his stomach, sending him flying into the wall.

Negi landed next to her and the two high fived. Miyuki smirked. "I see you still got it Negi-Chan."

"Please, you talk as if I ever lost it to begin with." Negi said.

(tmp tmp tmp)

The two looked over to see Ragnarok walking toward them, reattaching his arm, however he was smiling. "Perhaps I was wrong about you Negi Springfield. You make up for your lack of strength with superb intellect. Very interesting and what's with that blade? I was using a barrier that whole time and you still cleaved my arm off so easily."

"If you must know, it has the power to cancel magic." Negi said.

"Well then..." A powerful aura welled around Ragnarok. "Perhaps I should take this more seriously."

A cold sweat developed on Miyuki's skin as she swallowed a lump in her throat. "Miyuki-San?" Negi said.

"Negi...get ready...this guy's about to make our duel with Rakan seem like child's play." Miyuki said.

"...Right." Negi said.

Meanwhile, Kenshin and Diehauser stood across from one another. "Lord Kuroshi...I..." Diehauser was cut off.

"I told you not to involve innocents." Kenshin growled. "What did you think was gonna happen when news of Alice's kidnapping reached my ears? Think Belial! Did you think I was just going to laugh it off and say. 'Oh the Emperor is such a hilarious cad!' I almost went to war with the Great King Faction because of you and I fucking hate war!"

"..." Diehauser went silent.

"Now I ask you...one last time..." Kenshin said. "Why the fuck did you do it?"

"...I can't tell you that..." Diehauser said.

"..." Kenshin closed his eyes. "Very well then...I hope you enjoy this lesson I'm about to teach...and that is that I'm not one to fuck with."

"I don't want to do this Lord Kuroshi...but still." Diehauser said as he stepped forward. "It's still quite arrogant to think you can challenge me. You have a King Piece. I handed mine to Ajuka." He said.

"I don't actively use mine, I even have a seal on it. It merely contains my power. I don't use it's power amplification abilities." Kenshin said. "When I have Tamamo release the Malak seal. It's merely releasing that latent power, nothing more...even then if I knew how to use the King piece I never would unless it was needed, because I want a good fight from my opponent more than anything. The King Piece seems like an wholly un-fucking-fair advantage."

"I see, you really are an honorable man Kenshin." Diehauser said. "Despite the circumstances. It will be an honor to fight you."

"..." Kenshin closed his eyes and smiled. "Had you not kidnapped Alice and my children. I would feel the same." Kenshin opened his eyes. "If you make it out of this though Diehauser. Go find your father and hug him. He was willing to take my ultimate attack to protect you."

"!" Diehauser bristled at this.

Kenshin waved him off shaking his head. "Don't worry." He held Angel Halo forward. "This was the sword I was going to use, it cannot kill anyone, only seal them."

"What does that mean?" Diehauser growled.

"It means even if I had struck him with the Quadruple Giga. He'd have just spent some time in a sealed state. I wouldn't have allowed anyone to actually kill him. He was uninvolved in all this." Kenshin said. "Sirzechs stopped me...then I revealed the contents of your message."

"I see. Thank you." Diehauser said. "I'm prepared to accept the consequences of my actions, but still. I would like to fight you Kuroshi Kenshin."

Kenshin nodded. "Before we begin...is Alice at least OK?"

"She is...I even prevented Rizevim-Sama from cutting your children out of her womb because you would have dropped everything and went after him." Diehauser said.

Kenshin closed his eyes and nodded. "I see...Thank you...Diehauser..." Kenshin said. "Alright...come on. Let's go!"

Kenshin and Diehauser's fists met as a brilliant flash emitted from the both of them. Kenshin leaped back, his Abyssal Elemental Overdrive armor wings flapping. He caught Diehauser's fist, growling. "Such...Strength!" He said before Diehauser's punch ripped Kenshin's arm off.

"Agh!"

"Worthless!"Diehauser said before pinning Kenshin to the floor.

"Agghh!" Kenshin growled.

"I know how youkai regeneration works..." Diehauser said. "Now just lay there.

"Diehauser...you son of a bitch!" Kenshin growled. "Grrhh! I don't care what you do to me, you'll pay for endangering Alice and my children!" He said kicking him off of him, before grabbing his dismembered arm and reattaching it with Phoenix Tears. "Ok...he can cancel my regeneration...best to not lose too many limbs. Ravel only made a finite amount of these Phoenix Tears."

"Yaaahhaaahhaha!" Meanwhile Yama was leaping away from a slash from Ascalon. "Death Wave!" Yama shouted sending a wave of skeletons at Issei, Yukari and Draco.

"H-Holy shit? !" Issei said.

"Release!" Yukari said forming a handsign. The wave of skeletons disappeared.

"Ohohoho? Good eye Yukari!" Yama said.

"Tch. Loathe as I am to admit it, you were the one to teach me illusions." Yukari growled.

"Swift Dual Shot!" Draco shouted firing multiple arrows at Yama.

"Draco, when are you going to learn that your mundane weaponry won't work against me?" Yama said swatting the arrows away with his scythe before they exploded obscuring Yama in smoke.

"Heh, I wonder about that!" Draco said.

Issei exploded through the smoke. "Solid Impact Booster!"

"Guah? !" Yama gasped out as he was sent flying. He looked up to see Yukari flying above him with both Ryuuga and Kazeken pointed at him.

"Wind Burst! Hellfire Flash!" She shouted.

"Aaaaaggghh!" Yama said as he was blown back. However he emerged from smoke with little harm. "Yukari, you think you can challenge me with such meager power?" Yama said slashing his scythe downward dispelling the smoke.

"Well then...let me up the ante!" Yukari said as her green eyes glew brightly.

(Flashback)

"So the key to unlocking the Demigod State's true power is to feel strong emotions while maintaining calmness?" Yukari asked Kenshin as they walked toward the bay they had come from.

"Yeah. Sacred Gears require strong emotions, but the Spirits or the elements themselves require harmony." Kenshin said. "It's a rough paradox of a power, but it's one we're going to have to live with."

Yukari gave him pause as she smirked. "Heh! It won't be a problem for me!"

(flashback end)

"I'll just keep my love and desire to protect you in my heart Kenshin. As for the harmony, there is more than one way for the elements to flow in harmony!" Yukari thought.

"Hold it!" Yama said as Yukari pursued him, causing her to stop.

Yama spun his scythe around above his head, darkness surrounding it. "Dark Void!" He said slashing it down at her, Issei and Draco making them all separate.

"!" Issei, Draco and Yukari all watched as Yama attacked them all at the same time.

"Clones? !" Issei said.

"Damn it..." Draco said blocking his Yama clones scythe with his bow.

"Grrhhh...you really think you can divide your power and beat me in this state?" Yukari growled.

"Heh, sorry Yukari, but this old timer has some things he needs to do." Yama said.

"Hey Sekiryuutei!" Rizevim said. "And Also you, Kenshin Kuroshi!" He said as Vali and Granberia panted in front of them, both on one knee.

"?" Kenshin glanced over as he and Diehauser separated, both of them panting lightly, Kenshin more than Diehauser. "Damn it. Diehauser's Worthlessness ability is making my regeneration, one of my greatest strengths invalid and I really don't want to use the Demigod State against him if I don't have to do so."

Diehauser stood down for a moment, a look of regret flashing through his eyes. "I'll let him see this." He thought.

"It's the Hyoudou family as well as the Demon Queen Alice." Draco said.

"? !" Issei's eyes widened in shock as Gorou, Miki and Alice appeared behind Rizevim who smirked. Issei took off his helmet on an impulse and shouted. "Mom! Dad!"

"Issei? !" Miki said with wide eyes.

"So what we were told was true? !" Gorou said with wide eyes. "And wait...why is Kenshin here too?"

"Krhh..." Kenshin growled, looking down. "Damn you Rizevim! I was hoping to reveal everything behind closed doors!" Kenshin thought.

"Why are you both wearing such weird things on your bodies...also why are Yukari-Chan, Miyuki-Chan, Negi-Chan, Asia-Chan, Granberia-Chan and Kenshin here? !"

"Bastard! Rizevim! What the hell did you say? !" Issei shouted.

"Oh nothing much, just some trivial things." Rizevim said.

Issei's heart was pounding in his chest. "This asshole! He's forcing my parents, whom just found out that I'm alive again to watch this with their own eyes." Issei growled as he dueled against his Yama clone. "Fuck him!" Issei's heart was pounding violently in his chest. His arms and legs shaking violently. He looked over seeing Kenshin in a similar state. "I need my parents to be safe...he needs Alice-Sama and his children to be safe." Issei thought.

"Issei, Granberia, Katerea and I will deal with Rizevim, You, Yukari and the Tsuki Clan founder deal with Yama." Vali said.

"Hrmph..." Issei grunted. "I didn't expect to have to fight alongside you Vali, since we're supposed to be rivals, but thanks." Issei said.

"Just get moving! That's why I slotted you up like I did! Vali! Get your revenge!" Kenshin said. "Issei, save Miki and Gorou! Meanwhile I'll punish this asshole for kidnapping Alice and our kids!"

"I know Kenshin! I just didn't expect to fight the opponent I have in front of me right here!" Issei said.

"I know!" Kenshin said. "I wasn't expecting to have to fight the Emperor here either!" Kenshin said. "Yama, Ragnarok, Rizevim, Diehauser...they're all monsters we have to defeat!" He turned to Issei. "Issei, we've already died twice, fight like your life is on the line!" Kenshin said.

"Right, that's my parents up there!" Issei said.

"Enough posturing, lets go!" Vali said with Granberia close behind him. Vali's fist was enclosed in a massive amount of aura but as soon as it met Rizevim's hand it dissipated. "Damn it, so it was true what Kenshin and Issei told me, as long as an attack is associated with a Sacred Gear it won't work...WELL NO MATTER!" Vali said as he proceeded to barrage Rizevim with high speed kicks and punches, but Rizevim laughed as he dodged all of them. He reached forward and caught Granberia's Ares while turning around and slamming his fist into Vali's stomach tearing through his armor.

"Guah? !" Vali gasped out.

"Vali? !" Granberia shouted out only to be kicked across the face by Rizevim.

"Granberia!" Vali said as he got back up. A green aura surrounding them both. They glanced back at Katerea.

"I said I'd act as your support. I'm proving it." Katerea said.

Kenshin and Issei turned to Diehauser and the Yama clone in front of them. "We should believe in Vali to defeat Rizevim." Issei thought.

"And we should defeat the ones in front of us as well, The Emperor Diehauser Belial and Yama!" Kenshin thought.

"I'm surprised." Kenshin said. "Your peerage isn't here. You maybe the Emperor of the Rating Game, but do you really think you can take me alone?" Kenshin asked. "I mean aside from your ability I've been holding my own."

"I told them to stay outside of this. They had no need to follow me here." Diehauser said.

"I see...so you decided to take all the responsibility on yourself then?" Kenshin asked. He scowled. "Forget it...I was hoping to hold this back in case Ragnarok released his...but I just don't fucking care anymore." A magic circle appeared next to his ear. "Tamamo, Release the Malak Seal."

Tamamo, who had just killed several Evil Dragons held a hand to her ear. "Kenshin, are you sure? !"

"I am. The Lord of Lies, Belial needs to be taught a lesson." Kenshin said.

"!" Diehauser's eyes widened as he pursued Kenshin.

"!" Kenshin felt Diehauser's fist slam into his forehead, but didn't react. "Is that all you got? !" Kenshin said slugging Diehauser to the ground.

"? ! What's going on, he's so much stronger now! !" Diehauser thought.

"WHY DID YOU DO IT? ! WHY DID YOU KIDNAP ALICE? !" Kenshin roared rushing Diehauser with Angel Halo reared back.

(clench)

Diehauser caught Angel Halo with a smile. "I applaud you Kenshin Kuroshi, your attacks are good. Straight and without hesitation. Both of us are sweating here..." He said as Kenshin slashed at him madly.

"Damn it! ! Why can't I break your barrier? !" Kenshin growled slashing with his other blade, Chimei Supairaru, clashing against Diehauser's barrier.

"This form of yours is powerful, yes, but it is not immune to my Worthlessness ability." Diehauser said as his fist slammed against Kenshin's face.

"Krh? !" Kenshin growled as he was knocked back. "Fuck! He can even invalidate the Spirits powers as well? !"

"That said your power in this state is amazing, but nothing I can't handle." Diehauser said. "That being said, I would have liked to face you in a Rating Game."

"It's too late for that now!" Kenshin shouted. "Your confession will plunge the Underworld into chaos! It carries that much weight."

"Yes I understand. I completely understand." Diehauser said.

"You...even in this form I'm in...you refuse to take me seriously." Kenshin said with a growl. "With the power of the Yonseirei invalidated. You could have killed me at any time. What the fuck gives, you kidnap Alice to piss me off, now you're hesitating? If you keep this up I'm gonna come over there and ki-!"

"Kuh! !"

"Aaah!"

Kenshin and Diehauser looked over to see Vali get smacked to the ground along with Granberia. "H-Hey!" Kenshin said. "!" Kenshin turned only to see Diehauser in front of him, the Champion gripped Kenshin's throat and lifted him up. "Ullagh? !"

"You want me at my best...fine then...I guess you are one to...'fuck with'." Diehauser said.

"D-Damn you..." Kenshin growled gripping Diehauser's wrist.

"Hoho, what is it? Vali...you should know using your Sacred Gear attacks against me is useless yo." Rizevim said before glancing at Granberia as Katerea healed them both. "And you...I guess Vali really does have crude tastes, partnering with an ugly hybrid such as yourself.

"Grrrhhh!" Granberia growled, getting back to her feet, holding Ares at the ready. "Vali! It's time we stopped relying on your Sacred Gear!"

"Right!" Vali said rushing Rizevim without his armor attacking Rizevim with magic alone. .

"Hmn...neither of you compare to that Demigod over there." Rizevim said dodging them at every turn. "You know, you really are an eyesore, as the son of Lucifer, you behave like a lilin, yet you intend to display some kind of dignified attitude? Well at least you're better than Kenshin over there, who aimlessly follows his heart."

Vali growled. "Your original aura which you've tried to hide within yourself, yet can't contain from leaking out is equally sinister and ruthless. Rizevim...you've been a horrible and malicious person from the jump!" Vali said.

"That's right! How dare you torture Vali like you did!" Granberia shouted.

Rizevim paused for a moment before laughing. "If that's right...how about you, stupid Grandson-kun? Could it be that you can't even win a single battle of revenge against this old and feeble grandfather as a trashy dragon?" Rizevim said sticking his tongue out at him before turning to Issei.

"Oi! Yama, will you go ahead and use that already!" Rizevim said.

"Yeah Yeah I'm on it! Just give me some time to do what I gotta do after." Yama said as the clone holding Yukari back disappeared as Yama grabbed Issei by the face.

"Gah? !" Issei said as Yama pulled out a vial of red liquid as he moved behind Issei holding his sycthe's handle against Issei with one hand as he smashed Issei's helmet with one hand while forcing Issei's mouth open and dumping the contents of the vial down Issei's mouth and throat.

"!" Issei felt his heart start to race, his body trembled and grew unbearably hot, spreading from his chest to his abdomen to his limbs.

"!" Kenshin watched as Issei started to dragonify and pulled against Diehauser's wrist. "Damn it! Let me go Diehauser! ! Issei's dragonifying in front of his parents!"

"I can't do that." Diehauser said with a regretful gaze.

"Hyaa!" Miki screamed, looking at Issei, like she had seen a monster.

"..." Issei touched his face, but instead of feeling soft human flesh, he felt rough hard dragon scales. Rizevim smirked and sent a magic circle which contained a mirror. Issei's skin had become heard, his eyes were enlarged and his teeth had grown out of his mouth. "E-Even my face has been dragonified."

"Please look at this carefully Hyoudou fusai. This is what the son shaped thing in front of you looks like, a monster." Rizevim laughed. "Just as well...Kenshin Kuroshi himself as well as his brother loving slutty sister are trained assassins!"

"Damn you...!" Issei growled, being held against Yama who smirked.

"Come on kid, what can you do to me?" Yama asked.

"Let me go and you'll fucking find out!" Issei growled.

"In the spring of last year your precious son died, killed by Raynare or Yuuma Amano of the Fallen Angels! He was replaced with these pair of monsters. They and Kenshin's family have led a false life with you. During the break...didn't they both say they needed to travel away? That's because they needed to travel to the Underworld. At the end of the year, wasn't they always busy and unable to spend time with you? Part of that was settling Kenshin's past as a murderer!" Rizevim said. "Both Issei and Kenshin are monsters!"

"Krh!" Kenshin growled, glancing away.

"...Please don't look at me Dad, Mom..." Issei said. "Please let some kind of hole appear, I don't want them to see me like this."

Suddenly a figure stood in front of Issei and Kenshin, the latter being pointed at. "Father, Mother! This person is Issei-San, your son is alive! Kenshin-Onii-Sama kept him alive by taking his soul into his body!" Asia said. They were both reincarnated into devils. They have the power of a dragon and the four elemental spirits in his body, but they are still the people known as Kuroshi Kenshin and Hyoudou Issei! Please believe in them, I'm begging you!"

Rizevim smiled at this. "Hyoudou Fusai That blonde haired girl is also a devil. Please don't be deceived. Things like Devils were originally monsters who used sweet temptation to pull humans into the abyss, presently, you both have been lured the devil's whispers, so it would be better to take note of that."

"Asia was a good child...the only reason that Asia died because of me. Dad Mom, it's fine if you don't trust me, but please trust Asia." Issei thought.

Kenshin growled as he tried to pry Diehauser's hand off his throat. "D-Damn it...Miki...Gorou...I...I'm...sorry"

"You two are Issei and Kenshin right?" Gorou asked.

"Hold up, Hyoudou-shi. You mustn't be fooled, telling such stories while showing such emotional tears or showing such anguish is something Devils can do with calmness."

"..." Gorou shook his head and approached Issei. "You're wrong...his bad habit of apologizing is exactly the same. This is Issei!"

Miki followed after him. "Yes, I also know. Even if the appearance of his face has changed. I understand his response. Issei, this child is Issei!"

Gorou hauled off and punched Yama off of Issei. "From now on, I won't let you do anything to my child! If you want to lay a hand on Issei, then you'll have to kill me first!"

Yama shook his head and glared at him with a smirk. "You know you challenge a God of Death right?"

"I don't fucking care! All I wanted was an ordinary job, a normal family to live an ordinary life with that family. Even now that's all I want!" Gorou shouted. "If I have to fight a death god to get it then SO BE IT!"

Meanwhile Alice approached Kenshin, "Diehauser let him go." Alice said in a low tone. Diehauser nodded and set Kenshin down who proceeded to slice the cuffs off her. "Alice..." Kenshin said before hugging her tightly.

"Kenshin." Alice said hugging him back before pulling away. She noticed Kenshin looking over at Diehauser and petted his cheek. "Kenshin, it's OK. I'm OK, Neris and Luka are OK."

"!" Kenshin turned back to her with wide eyes before letting out a heavy sigh of relief.

"He even protected me when that Devil tried to stab me, where they laid in my womb." Alice said.

"..." Kenshin looked over at Diehauser.

"Kenshin, he only did what he did because that Shinigami over there threatened to kill his parents in front of him." Alice said.

"..." Kenshin approached Diehauser. "Is that true?"

With a regretful look, Diehauser nodded. "I'm...sorry for the grief I've caused you."

"..." Kenshin closed his eyes and nodded. "I see...It's fine then...you did protect her and our children after all, but you know I have to take you in to custody for siding with Rizevim right?"

"I know...that much I am prepared for." Diehauser said.

"Well then you better make yourself scarce then." Kenshin said. "Both of you." Kenshin said. "Diehauser our group is outside this building, can I trust you to protect Alice while you get her to them?"

"Absolutely, but once I get her there, I'll be back." Diehauser said.

"That is fine. I just want her safe. Afterwards you're free to do as you like." Kenshin said. "Though it is a shame."

"Hm?" Diehauser said.

"I had wanted a fair and honest battle with you, but considering the circumstances." Kenshin said.

Diehauser paused to smile at this. "I see. I had wanted the same, well maybe one day we'll challenge each other in a Rating Game."

"Looking forward to it." Kenshin said. "Now go, please...oh and Diehauser."

"Hm?" Diehauser said.

"Next time you see him, hug your father. He tried to bar my path so I almost struck him with my ultimate attack." Kenshin said before seeing Diehauser's shocked look. "Relax though. I used this sword in the attempt before Sirzechs stopped me." He said tapping Angel Halo's hilt. "This sword cannot kill, only seal away people. He'd have just spent some time as what I could only imagine would be a bat."

"I see..." Diehauser said. "Well forgive me if I don't hold back when we cross paths in the Rating Game."

"Ha." Alice laughed. "Please, he'd accept nothing less."

"She's right you know." Kenshin said. "Now Go. For some reason Ragnarok's power just exploded." Kenshin said.

"Right." Diehauser said. "Come Lady Alice."

"Right." Alice said before casting a worried look at Kenshin as they retreated.

Kenshin smiled back at her. "I'll be back. I still have to be there for Neris and Luka." Kenshin thought before turning to the battle between Ragnarok, Miyuki and Negi before dashing toward it.

At the same time Gorou stood between Issei, Miki and Yama. Miki spoke up. "Even if his appearance has changed. I understand his response. This child is Issei!"

"Bring it on!" Gorou said to Yama. "I won't let you do anything to my child! Like I said before, you'll have to kill me first!"

"Oi Oi Oi. Father, you need to take a good look, does that red creature look human to you? Does it look like your son? Listen carefully. That is a Devil, and a dragon. In other words, a monster." Rizevim said. "A monster in the same vein as Kenshin the Murderer."

"No...I don't believe you." Gorou said. "That is my child. You wouldn't understand but I can because I'm his parent. These past years I had been raising this child."

Miki spoke up. "And even if you're right about Kenshin and Yukari, we accept them too! They had to have had a good reason for what they did. They're too nice, too kind to do that without a good reason!"

Rizevim sighed at this. "What have you understood in these mere years that have passed?"

Yama went on. "Do you even understand the truth and reality of this world? The way to read signs, what can you who cannot even see the nature of ones aura possibly understand?"

Miki embraced Issei tightly. "You're Issei, Ah...I can understand after holding on to you. Because I've hugged Issei many times before."

Gorou extended his arms out and made a protective pose. "These seventeen years are everything about our family! They are not trivial things that can be explained!"

"This child...is my lovely son." Miki said hugging Issei tightly.

Gorou glanced back and smiled. "Even if he has changed his appearance, or had been reincarnated, he's still my child." He said turning around to not only hug Issei but Asia as well.

"Even if he becomes like this and he'll recognize me as his mother, that's enough!" Miki cried out.

Gorou stepped in front of them, facing Rizevim and Yama. "These two are our children! Issei and Asia! We won't allow you to lay a single finger on them."

A deep red but warm aura cloaked Issei, Asia, Miki and Gorou.

Yama let out a bored sigh. "Hope you like the City of Souls." He said firing a blast at Gorou.

"!" Issei moved to intercept it, before the blast was kicked upward by none other than Yukari. "Yukari-San!" Issei said.

"Looking a bit toothy there Issei." Yukari said before smiling. "Leave this to me. I feel some kind of power trying to awaken in you." She glanced at the Hyoudous. "I'm sorry but what they said about us is true."

Miki smiled. "Like I said, you must have had a good reason for it, you two are simply too nice to want to do that."

Yukari smiled back. "You're right. Thank you...Auntie."

"Hmhm~!" Miki giggled.

"Come on Yama, it's time your former student hands you your ass!" Yukari said turning to Yama.

"Heheheh, we'll just see about that Yukari." Yama said.

Meanwhile, Miyuki and Negi were slugged backward by Ragnarok. "Come now, is this all the might you can muster?" Ragnarok asked.

"Ghh..." Miyuki growled as she got back to her feet. "Damn it, he's being restrained, but he's still so damn strong."

"You trained against THIS at twenty five percent? !" Negi asked. "He absolutely blows Master out of the water!"

"I know, Negi but Onii-Chan entrusted us to handle him, Draco has his Malak Seal so he shouldn't get much stronger than this." Miyuki said with a smirk.

"Good Instinct there Miyuki Tsuki, you are most certainly right. As long as Draco holds the keys to my Malak Seal, this is the strongest I'll get." Ragnarok said. "I will say I've been having a lot of fun."

"Maybe it's that you're stretching your old bones." Miyuki chided.

"Hahahaha." Ragnarok laughed before smirking. "Such a daring thing for you to say though. Come on, let's keep this going!"

"Right!" Negi and Miyuki both said as they shot toward him. "Miyuki-San, let me take the lead!" Negi said as lightning crackled around her.

"Right! I need you to cover for me anyway!" Miyuki said as she stopped and landed on the floor of Agreas. She recalled her own conversation with Kenshin, however Ophis had also come out.

(flashback.)

"Eh? Onii-Chan, what is it? You know you can talk to me normally." Miyuki said.

"Not like this. I don't want very many people knowing about this." Kenshin said as they sat in his room with Yukari standing guard. "Remember when you fought Saja? How you felt when you powered up against her?"

"Hey... yeah, I also remember passing out in front of you while you gave me something." Miyuki said.

"That's what I did." Kenshin said. "Yukari and I agreed that if she had the Demigod State then you should have it too." He said as Ophis came into the room and walked toward her.

"Eh? Ophis-Chan?" Miyuki said.

"I've already done this with your sister, it's your turn. Don't worry this won't cause you to pass out." Ophis said placing her hand on Miyuki's shoulder.

"Hnn? !" Miyuki gasped out as she felt her left hip heat up.

"Relax. I've just given you a blessing and on one of your legs is where I remember the marking being." Ophis said.

"Haa..Haa...thanks Ophis." Miyuki said with a tired smile.

"Use this only in dire situations." Kenshin warned.

"But also, the Demigod State, in order for it to be perfected, requires control when your emotions are at their highest peak." Yukari said.

(flashback end)

Flames and Earth surrounded her right and left arms, while water and wind surrounded her right and left legs as her eyes glew. "Alright, let's do this!" Miyuki said as she rushed forward.

"? !" Negi's eyes widened as Miyuki shot by her and decked Ragnarok in the teeth before he could react. "M-Miyuki? !"

"Heh!" Miyuki smirked, flexing her arms outward. "How'd ya like that old man? !"

(Tmp, Tmp, Tmp.)

They watched as Ragnarok walked out of the battle dust, but he was smiling. "Hmhmhmhm...That was a good hit, I trust you have more of that in you?"

"..." Miyuki slipped into a stance as Negi walked up next to her, however her Raiten Taisou had been upgraded. "Hm?"

"I learned how to shorten the charge time." Negi said with a smile.

"Ha, Negi you fucking genius you." Miyuki giggled.

"Alright then." Ragnarok said with a wide smirk. "Come!"

"Negi you go first!" Miyuki said as she crossed her arms. "This power is so intense! Is this what Onii-Chan, Onee-Chan and Ragnarok have to deal with? !"

"Guah!" Ragnarok was launched backward, turning his head as Negi launched herself from above him to again launch herself to a point behind him. "? !" He saw Miyuki moving, to attack him from the front.

"Front and Back Combo!" " Negi and Miyuki shouted as Ragnarok was punched in the middle of the back and the chest respectively, being sent into a painful tumble. "Yeah!" Miyuki said fistbumping Negi.

"No way, if it was this easy, Ddraig and Albion would be laughing stocks." Negi said as a figure launched out of the smoke formation he was in with a smirk.

"That was very good!" Ragnarok said with a laugh. "I'm impressed, so much so that I'm going to do this!" Ragnarok said.

"? !" Negi and Miyuki both watched as a tendril grew out of Ragnarok's neck as a black dragon body grew out of the ground.

"..." Ragnarok sat upon the dragon's head, looking at Miyuki with a bored look. "Really? This is all you can muster?"

"Full Body Elemental Spica!"

Ragnarok scoffed at this and swatted Miyuki to the side. "Damn you!" Negi said shooting forward blasting Ragnarok's dragon body all over.

"Hahahahahahaha! Those tickle if anything!" Ragnarok laughed before swinging his arm, letting out a massive blast of wind that pushed Negi and Miyuki back.

"Now tell me...would you like this Dragon body of mine to use the Tenrai Sesshou Yuurei or not? I've not been using it as a courtesy." Ragnarok said. "It's your choice.

"..." Negi backed away in fright, but Miyuki steeled her resolve.

"Bring it on old man! Size won't help you win this fight, armored or not!" Miyuki said.

"Especially with me around." Everyone glanced over to see Kenshin appearing. "Diehauser gave up after it was revealed my children and Alice were OK."

"Yay~!" I still get to be an Aunt!" Miyuki said pumping her fist in the air.

Kenshin smiled at Miyuki's antics "Alright Miyuki, I felt Ragnarok's power explode and thought it was his Malak Seal.

"Oh no, if my Malak Seal gets broken, you're dead." Ragnarok said.

"..." Kenshin went silent for a moment before a blue communication circle appeared next to his head. "Tiamat, are you busy right now?" Kenshin asked.

"No? What is it you need Kenshin?" Tiamat asked.

"Come to my location, use my mana as a marker." Kenshin said before he was lifted off the ground as a blue dragon appeared underneath him as a blue summoning circle faded away.

"Hooo? The Dragon Queen Tiamat? You brought her under your service?" Ragnarok said.

"We have an equal partnership." Kenshin said.

"Kenshin, that Dragon...is that...Ragnarok? !" Tiamat asked.

"It is." Kenshin said. "Get ready I'm going to activate the Tenrai Sesshou Yuurei over you." Kenshin said. "Are you scared?" Kenshin asked.

"Heh..." Tiamat smirked underneath Yuurei's armor. "Not at all...a chance to defeat the one who defeated Ddraig? I'm absolutely ready for the chance!" Tiamat said.

"Heh, I'm ready too. When I whoop his ass. I'll be the strongest Youkai in existence." Kenshin said.

"Heh!" Tiamat's smirk only widened "I love the way you think! Let's GO!"

"Right!" Kenshin said as he raised his blade, flames surrounding it.

"Onii-Chan, what about us? !" Miyuki said.

"..." Kenshin went into thought. "Sorry Miyuki, but I was always going to be fighting Ragnarok in the end." Kenshin said. "...How about this. Negi you go and help Yukari, Miyuki, you help Vali, Granberia and Katerea." Kenshin said.

"But Kensh-" Negi was cut off as Kenshin turned to her with a smile.

"I'll be OK Negi. I promise, it's just I'm the only one who can defeat him." Kenshin said. "I just wanted you two to distract him until I either handled Diehauser which didn't happen, or I found out why he did it and it ended up being a good reason."

"O-OK." Negi said.

"Get him good Onii-Chan, Tiamat-Chan!" Miyuki said as she and Negi took off.

"Sending off your allies to face me alone?" Ragnarok asked.

"I'd be too worried about them to focus on fighting you, and I know you hate a boring fight like I do." Kenshin said. "That said...we both knew that this day would come."

"Indeed. I knew that when I died...Yama would resurrect and enslave me once I completed my reincarnation. I knew someone would need to put me down." Ragnarok said.

"And that's why you told me I would have to do it when I accepted your proposal to resurrect me." Kenshin said. "Ragnarok...the Kuroshi Tsuki family is whittled down to my immediate family and Akatama because of me." Kenshin said. "I am...the greatest Kuroshi killer of our time." Kenshin said.

"I see. So the two strongest male youkai in existence are about to do battle. Shame we don't have a crowd. This would be quite the spectacle." Ragnarok mused.

"Two Strongest Youkai period." Kenshin corrected.

"Hm?" Ragnarok quirked an eyebrow at this. "What do you mean?"

"I beat Alipheese in a duel to the near damn death." Kenshin said.

"? !" Ragnarok's eyes widened a bit. "...I knew there was a reason I was feeling so conflicted for the past few days."

"Trust me...I felt it too. Ragnarok, you and I share an empathic link with each other." Kenshin said. "That said...she knows."

"About?" Ragnarok asked.

"About your infidelity with the Devil Queen Lilith." Kenshin said only for Ragnarok to slump.

"Kenshin, take one of your blades and kill me..." Ragnarok said with a fearful look.

"Relax. I also told her that you felt like you had no way back to her and the Devil Queen was very persistent. That seemed to placate her." Kenshin said

"Whew..." Ragnarok said.

"She considered you the winner of your fight with her you know." Kenshin said.

"?" Ragnarok stared at Kenshin. "She had me laying on the ground covered in my own blood. If that's not her winning I don't know what is!"

"That's what I said." Kenshin said. "But according to her. Sometime during the fight, you started holding back."

"Holding back?" Ragnarok said.

"At the moment you surpassed her. She said you started to hold yourself back for her sake, because you didn't want to lose the first opponent that excited you." Kenshin said.

"Wha? But I..." Ragnarok was cut off.

"You would lose this restraint against worthy opponents like God, Ddraig or Albion, but you hold yourself back to enjoy your fights to the fullest." Kenshin said.

"..." Ragnarok stared at him.

"Talk about it with her, but we've talked enough." Kenshin said.

"Indeed." Ragnarok said.

The two stared hard at each other before they both reared their heads back. "PREPARE FOR BATTLE!"

(chapter end)

Draconis: Kenshin: "I'm worried about Negi's health."

Draconis: Also Kenshin: "Ayo Negi I need you to team up with Miyuki to fight my ancient ancestor who routinely kicked the dog shit out of Yukari, Miyuki and I at a quarter of his strength."

Negi: (deadpanned) That does sound a lot like the situation you put me in Kenshin.

Kenshin: Um, I came and bailed you out?

Negi: Nooot really helping your case.

Kenshin: Uhmm...hey Draconis couldn't this have been out sooner?

Negi: Nuh uh! Don't you go changing the subject!

Draconis: You're right about that Kenshin...but my job has been beating the fuck out of me for the past two months.

Kenshin: How so?"

Draconis: Full time hours when I'm only part time. Split days off.

Kenshin: Wait, split days off...like you got one day off then you have to turn around and go back in?

Draconis: Indeed. The work isn't physically strenuous but I get home and I'm so mentally burnt out that I just don't feel like writing at that point.

Kenshin: Wow, your bosses sound like dicks.

Draconis: You don't have to tell me. Anyway, I'm not here to bitch about my life. See you all around.

Draconis678 out.
