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.

Draconis: Fuck

Kenshin: You lost the file didn't you?

Draconis: Yup. The power went out and I can't recover the file. Anyway.

Dragon of the Elements

Chapter 133

Vs. Trihexa.

Draconis: Begin!

(start)

Kenshin walked through the hospital, only to bump into Iris and Atsuki. "Oh, hey Iris, Atsuki." Kenshin said.

"Heya Kenshin." Iris smiled.

"Kenshin-kun." Atsuki said with a smile.

"How are you two doing?" Kenshin asked.

"I'm fine/ I'm great!" Atsuki and Iris greeted cheerfully.

"That's good." Kenshin said with a smile.

"How are you doing Kenshin-kun?" Atsuki said.

"I'm good, a little nervous though." Kenshin said.

"You?" Iris and Atsuki both said.

"Yeah I get nervous." Kenshin said. "But it's good to see you two again!" He said embracing them both.

"You're a lot more open" Iris said.

"You know, she's right." Atsuki said.

"Well, when Mundus Magicus' and this dimensions were merged. I got sent back there." Kenshin said. "During that time, Ialda told me that the reason I was dumped in Megalomesembria was just because she wanted to see what path I would take, nothing more."

"WHAT? !" Iris and Atsuki both shouted.

"Are you serious? !" Atsuki said.

"What a bitch!" Iris said

"I know it's how we met but I would have rather met you under happier circumstances. Mother and I would have ran away from that bastard of a stepfather and bumped into you eventually." Atsuki said.

"I know you would have, because I would have probably been getting my ass kicked regardless as I aimlessly made my way toward Hellas and you two probably would have heard about it." Kenshin said. "But I tell you that to tell you this. Ialda telling me that broke my mind and pushed me into the Demigod State." Kenshin said. "After that Negi was able to escape from Ialda, but got her mana poisoned, from what I'm told, again...the rage I felt was indescribable." Kenshin said. "This broke my mind in a different way and put up a memory block." Kenshin said. "All those people from earlier, they picked me up when I was at my lowest, where not even Yukari could help me by herself. They gave me hope again...so I will go to hell and back to protect everyone."

"And you're not alone." Atsuki said.

"We'll always be there!" Iris said.

"Heh, thanks." Kenshin said. "Atsuki, I'm probably going to stay here in Japan to combat the Trihexa off the coast of here, so could I ask you to accompany Negi to Europe?"

"I was going to ask for that anyway. When we win, I'll just report it to the Confederacy." Atsuki said. "Great Minds think alike right? !" She said with a toothy canine grin. (A/N: She's a canine youkai if I haven't said that already.)

"Indeed!" Kenshin turned to Iris. "Meanwhile, the gateport to Hellas is in Kyoto, so Iris will you stay here?" Kenshin asked.

"Sure!" Iris said with a wide smile.

"Alright, with all that said. It's time to break." Kenshin said.

"Right!" Atsuki and Iris both said, kissing Kenshin on the cheeks before running off.

Kenshin smiled as they ran off. But it faded as Kenshin glanced at a room's door and walked into it. "...Hey..." He said to no one. "It's crazy right? Everything we've been through." Kenshin said. "Megalo, Hottan splitting up, you meeting Alma, Granberia and Erubetie Tamamo and Alice and I hope to god their relationships with Vali and Issei succeeded,, me meeting Negi and being reunited with our family. Fighting against Ialda...and honestly..." Kenshin said with a smile. "We were brought to Kuoh... and we met the weirdest group I ever have been apart of. A red haired princess that we saved from an omiai she wanted nothing to do with. A raven haired girl with daddy issues that we helped her out of. A nekomata that hated her sister which we talked her out of..."

Kenshin smiled. "I could go on and on about this, about how we saved Issei, Asia, Xenovia. I could go on and on. Even about Alice who's carrying Neris and the boy we named after you...and I don't regret it. Everything you did for Alice should never be forgotten." Kenshin said.

"I love all of them...truly...and I know they love me too. Even Issei and the girls that love him too, like Asia, Irina and Le Fay among others. It's my journey to go and defeat Trihexa and you're all willing to accompany on it. Yukari, Miyuki, Negi, Mom, Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Xenovia." His eyes began to fill with tears. "Ravel, Issei...everyone!" Kenshin sobbed. "Someone help me! What am I supposed to do? !"

"Hey."

"!" Kenshin looked up to see Luka. "Lu-Luka? !"

"Hey there buddy." Luka waved.

Kenshin looked down. "What are you doing here? Aren't we one in the same now?"

"Yeah, but I felt you call to me" Luka said with a smile.

"..." Kenshin bowed his head. "Then you know how fucking scared I am right now. Either we win this...or I fail everyone...again." He sobbed. "I don't want to lose anyone, but I can't be ever-"

"Believe in your allies." Luka said.

"!" Kenshin looked up at him.

"I always believed in Alma, Erubetie, Granberia, Tamamo and Alice. They always had my back." Luka said with a smile. "The point I'm trying to make is...I know you're under a lot of pressure as the Primordial of Life, but everyone's got your back."

"Yeah..." Kenshin said. "Thanks for the pep talk Luka."

"Anytime bro." Luka said with a grin before he disappeared.

He felt a pair of arms wrap around him and he turned to see Yukari. "Yukari?" Kenshin asked.

"I heard you crying out for help and conversing with Luka. I agree with him." Yukari said. "I know you're under a lot of pressure as the Primordial of Life, but we've got this, we've all got this."

"I...I know...it just feels like I failed everyone as the Primordial of Life." Kenshin said.

"Kenshin, you're not alone in this." Yukari said petting Kenshin's head. "We've got this. You've got this."

"I know I do, but...what if I screw up again? We can't afford to screw up again." Kenshin said.

"Like I said." Yukari scolded. "We've got this. Why have you lost confidence in us?"

"It's not you I've lost confidence in. It's myself." Kenshin said glancing away. "When Trihexa got released...I felt like I failed everyone. I'm supposed to be the Primordial of Life. Ophis, Lilith, Ilias, Alipheese are unavailable..." Kenshin said. "I don't want to put them in that kind of danger especially with the shapes the latter two are in. We really only have Rias and I as the Primordials of Life and Death."

"Kenshin, come here." Yukari pulled Kenshin to a nearby couch and they both sat down. He felt Yukari clench his hand. "We have this." Yukari said laying her head against his shoulder. Kenshin laid his head against hers. "We got this, don't feel like you're in this alone."

Kenshin gripped Yukari's hand. "I know...I know we do. It's just...if we fuck up, I feel like it be my fault in the end."

"If it is, I'll be there to carry the weight." Yukari said closing her eyes with a smile. "Kenshin, I've said this time and time again, but I will always have your back."

"Yukari..." Kenshin glanced at her with a smile. "Thank you...I needed that."

"Hehe!" Yukari giggled as she snuggled into him. "Anytime!"

Kenshin smiled down at her and pressed his head against hers. "Yukari...if this truly is the end...I want to tell you I love you one last time. I mean we're dealing with the end of the world here."

"I know, and I love you too." Yukari said, before kissing Kenshin.

Kenshin smiled at her, their foreheads against each other. "If it were legal, I'd ask you to marry me." Kenshin said.

"Well..." Yukari tilted her head with a smile, exposing a purple 'K' on her neck. "We did mark each other right?"

"Heh." Kenshin tilted his head, exposing a red 'Y' and 'M'

"Soooo, in a sense, aren't we already married?" Yukari asked with a smile. "With these mate marks being our rings?"

"Yeah..." Kenshin got up prompting Yukari to do the same.

"I've gotta go." Yukari said. "I just couldn't let you go into this with your thoughts in such disarray. We messed up, all of us...now let's go get this fixed." Yukari said hugging Kenshin.

"..." Kenshin hugged her back. "Like I've always said. I don't know where I'd be without you...you're one of the brightest lights of my life."

"..." Yukari smiled widely and pulled away. "Right back at you...and when we win this..." Yukari pulled away with a winking smile. "Let's try for a child."

"..." Kenshin smiled. "I know we've joked about it...but yeah...absolutely, and I know Miyuki's gonna ask too, so the race is on." Kenshin grinned.

"Hell yeah it is!" Yukari said with a grin before kissing Kenshin one more time. "Like you said...if this is the end...I want to share one last lovers kiss with you."

"Then take it." Kenshin said pulling her in close and kissing her. His tongue slipping into Yukari's mouth. He pressed and slipped it against hers

"Oh god! Kenshin, if this is the end, I'm so happy that I spent my last moments of joy with you!" Yukari thought as they both pulled away.

"Thanks for that Kenshin...it felt amazing." Yukari said holding him tightly.

"We've done this a lot, but like Rias, Akeno, Xenovia, Negi, Tamamo, Miyuki, and all the others...I guess I am a pervert, because I don't want it to stop, I want it to go on forever." Kenshin said with a smile.

"No. A pure pervert lusts after a sexy person. You are a bit of a pervert while Issei is more of one, but you care about the girls that love you. Issei does too." Yukari said with a smile.

"Well, I guess I just wanted to admit what I am." Kenshin said with a winking smile.

"Well there's nothing wrong with that." Yukari said as they exited the room. She smiled at him. "Well, I gotta go."

"See ya out there." Kenshin said. Yukari grinned and gave him a thumbs up before taking off.

"That was beautiful." Kenshin turned to see Zeoticus.

"Even though it wasn't between me and Rias?" Kenshin asked.

"I've asked about your relationship with your sisters. I can tell you love them with all your heart." Zeoticus said as they approached Issei's parents as Issei ran to get ready. They anxiously greeted him.

"U-Uhm, you just missed our son. He said he had something to do and left, but he and even Kenshin-kun there would be back for dinner."

"And we will be." Kenshin said.

"I understand you are nervous, but Kenshin and Issei are both heroes in the Underworld. I know you don't understand it, but please believe in your son and his friends." Zeoticus said to Miki and Gorou

"I-If they're boys, it can't be helped that they'll have a few fights. Moreover, this is a battle to protect us, and to protect others, isn't that right?" Gorou asked.

Kenshin watched as Zeoticus grabbed one of both Gorou and Miki's hands and bowed deeply. "Hyoudou-San, your son Issei-kun is a true hero. Please be proud about this. The son you raised is a hero who fights to protect to protect us. Moreover, he will definitely return."

Kenshin put his hand on Zeoticus' shoulder. "Hell, awhile ago...I was down at my worst...Issei and everyone brought me back up." Kenshin said with a smile. "I'm not going to let anything happen to him or anyone."

"Yes, no matter what happens,, he will come back to us and return to your side." Zeoticus said before glancing at Kenshin. "You will come back to Rias too right?"

"Heh, you know it!" Kenshin grinned.

Gorou and Miki tightened their hands around Zeoticus' "Let's prepare dinner together. When our children return, they will certainly be hungry."

"Parents who didn't worry about their own children, true parents anyway don't exist." Zeoticus glanced at Kenshin. "Kenshin...I leave Rias in your hands...and I believe in them both, but I hope in my heart Rias and Sirzechs will be safe." He thought.

"Gorou, Miki, we've got this." Kenshin said with a smile, despite having to be talked up by Yukari. That talk up worked. "We're coming back, so have a feast for us ready."

"R-Right!" Miki said.

"It'll break me, but I'll-" Gorou was cut off.

"Oh no no." Zeoticus said. "Rias would be upset if I sent my maids, but I think I can get away with just sending the supplies."

"Heh, I'll tell her I bought them." Kenshin said with a grin.

(break)

Off the coast of Japan

The Gremory and Kuroshi peerages, Konoka, Setsuna and Iris. Negi, Mana, Atsuki, Kaede, Ku Fei, Yuuna and Asuna had already left. "Huh?" Kenshin said as a communication circle appeared next to his ear. "You're doing what?"

Yasaka, Kunou, Akatama, Inutora, Bureijin and Jordan all appeared behind the onmyouji led by Suzaku.

"You four, are you healed yet?" Kenshin said.

"We'll be fine Kenshin." Jordan said with a smile.

"We were kicking ass before Forbesii took power." Inutora said.

"We got this, after all Alice asked us all to represent Makai after all." Bureijin said

"Also, the forces sent to Europe have are being reinforced by Megalomesembria. Hellas, Ostia and Ariadne are programming their gateports to send them there as well, but they apologize that they can't send everyone." Akatama said.

"I see." Kenshin said. "I didn't expect them to." He turned to see Issei talking to Yasaka and Kunou. Yasaka bowed. "Sekiryuutei-Dono, and everyone, the youkai of my kind living in Japan, and also those in Makai are here to fight." Yasaka said. "Our homes have been destroyed we've been quite troubled."

"Yes, but bringing Kunou here Yasaka?" Kenshin asked with Issei nodding.

"Japan is my home too! I'll defend it till my dying breath!" Kunou said.

Behind Yasaka and Kunou was a legion of youkai. "Thanks Yasaka. He raised his hand, holding Shiroi Tengoku. "Y'all remember me? !"

"YES! VICE COMMANDER!"

"Heh! Then listen up! We are not to stop fighting until the Beast of Corruption, the Imperial Beast of the Apocalypse is felled!" Kenshin shouted. "You are to lay low every Evil Dragon you see! WRECK! THEIR! SHIT!"

"YES!"

"Also a helpful tip. Aim for the back of their necks!" Kenshin said. "However, leave some of the forces to the DxD organization. Let us have some fun too!"

"Kenshin, Asia has Evil Dragons." Issei said.

"Which I asked her not to summon." Kenshin said. "Alice sent word saying she'd be sending us help That's why the Grand Cardinals and her armies are here. I just didn't expect Yasaka to bring Kunou."

"Well she refused to be left behind." Yasaka said.

"Yeah, this is my home too!" Kunou shouted in mature form. She clapped her hands together winking at Issei with a smile. "I'll be in my other form for the most part, but just ask me and I'll go into this one."

"Relax Kunou-Chan. I was just curious as to why Yasaka brought you." Kenshin said. "We appreciate the help."

Suddenly a wave of intense pressure. Indescribable pressure was felt from the direction Trihexa would come from. "Damn... it's still so far away, yet it felt like it's here already." Issei said.

"Stick to the plan." Kenshin said. "However take a moment to collect yourselves."

"Hmhm..." Kenshin turned to Rias. "What is two people who aren't all there at the moment thinking?"

"Nothing, I'm just wondering how we would defeat Trihexa." Issei said.

"That and I feel like Azazel left something out in the plan." Kenshin said. "I just don't know what. He didn't say what the big wigs and he would be doing."

"Indeed. It will be difficult, but I don't want to give up. For, me the human world. Japan is my second home." Rias said looking up at the sky

"It'll be time for graduation soon...me and Kenshin will become third years." Issei said.

"Yes. I want to graduate in that school. Me, Akeno, Sona and Tsubaki are all looking forward to becoming university students you know?"

"I could tell." Kenshin said. "Where you all planning to go to celebrate?"

"Sona's planning the trip. We haven't decided on Okinawa or Hokkaido. Might just go to both places. It would be nice to eat our fill in Osaka as well. During this time I'll also reveal a certain secret Kenshin and I have been keeping since before Agreas."

"Well with teleportation magic it should be easy." Issei said before catching the end of her sentence. "Secret? What are you talking about?"

Kenshin snaked his arm around Rias' waist with a smile. "I've decided to quit putting it off. Rias and I are going tie the knot."

"I would get angry and call you a lucky bastard, but I've just come to accept it." Issei said with a smile. "Congrats in advance you two. You were made for each other."

"Hmhm~!" Rias giggled. "Thanks for that Issei."

"Which also means when they get back. Akeno's going to be fawning on me, trying to get me to propose to her too." Kenshin said.

"But we want to travel by plane. At the least, it needs to be like humans right?" Rias said with a wink before letting out a sigh. "Honestly I don't want you to participate. Even if you didn't want to, I would rather you stayed in the Underworld with your parents and rest. Everyone in the Occult Reasearh Club thinks this way. But in the end, you'd come without fail. So in the end it's better if we faced this together. We aren't here to die together, but with me and everyone else together. Negi her students, Atsuki-San in Europe. Akeno also said that we've crossed and overcome many, many difficulties together until now." Rias said.

"You're right. I would do that. Even if you put me in the rear. Staying close to you all would be the better option." Issei said. "Everyone's coming out of this alive!"

"Also Rias, because it's Trihexa. I'm busting out the Demigod State, but after that it's back to not using it unless I have to." Kenshin said. "I also told Sairaorg not to use what he called Imperial Purpure unless he had to."

"I understand." Rias said before looking over at Issei with a giggle. "Issei, you really feel reliable, but on the contrary, I've realized something lately. No, it would be better to call it an expectation. You will rise up. Now, put your mind in order and get ready."

"Uhh...what do you mean by that?" Kenshin and Issei asked.

"I want to tour the cities of every country. I really like cities, even making models of them."

"I mean it would be nice to travel the world after all this. Without a care in the world." Kenshin said. " I mean I'm not going anywhere any time soon."

"Yes that's nice. We'll go abroad after this...because..The longer we live, the more things we'll enjoy." Rias said.

"I was thinking the same thing. I want to be with everyone forever." Issei said.

"Same here." Kenshin said before he kissed Rias.

"Thanks you two. I was worried but you two gave me the courage to press on." Issei thought.

"Alright..." Kenshin let out a sigh. "We've put this off for long enough." He hopped up into the air, bringing out his wings. Anyone who had them did the same. A force Devils, Angels of both kinds, humans. All belonging to different territories, different races having different values.

Issei went into thought. "Hey Rizevim, you bastard. You may have plunged the world into chaos, but we united because of it, we didn't give in to the confusion. We won't lose to an evil bastard like you."

"Hmn?" Kenshin looked onward as a countless number of Evil Dragons the fake Sekiryuutei army and the Imperial Beast of the Apocalypse and Primordial of Corruption, Trihexa appeared.

"Kenshin." Akatama said. "There's so many of them, they're blocking out the sun."

Kenshin smirked. "Then we will fight in the shade."

At the same time, the Japanese Self Defense force was lined up along the coast line. The major Japanese Gods and Heaven, to let the supernatural sects handle it first. If things started going south then they were allowed to mobilize.

"Protect the country we live in oooooooooooooouuuuuu!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhh! !" Everyone roared.

Kenshin led the charge and smirked at Trihexa. "Hey you giant bastard. You caught me after I blew my payload on someone else. This time the work is all for you!" Kenshin opened communications with Tamamo. "NOW!"

Tamamo formed a handsign and widened her eyes.

"Hrrrraaaaaahhhh! !" Kenshin roared as the elements took form spiraling around his limbs in their respective places. "Perfected Demigod State!"

"Evil Dragons taste some of my flames." Yasaka had transformed into her kaijuu form and spat blue flames at the Evil Dragons

"Let me add to them!" Tamamo said extending her hand outward. "Nine Tails Funeral Pyre!"

"Here let us give a hand." Alma said charging forward with Jordan. "Now!"

"Right!" Jordan shouted as they extended both hand and wing outward, sending intense bursts of wind outward.

"Twin Shamshir!"

The intense burst of wind intensified the flames, burning away swathes of Evil Dragons.

"Let's go!" Xenovia said.

"Yeah!" Irina said as they released waves from their holy swords.

"Here, allow me to join you." Inutora said, lining his scythes with earth magic.

"Please, I ain't getting left out of this." Granberia said flames licking up and down her Ares as she dove forward. Kenshin held his hand out to her. "What?"

"Come here for a moment." Kenshin said.

Granberia flew over to him. "What is it."

The Boosted Gear formed on Kenshin's hand. "I'm going give you some of my power. It should push you into the Vessel without the charge period and implant the power of the Demigod State for you to train up to." Kenshin said. "Do you accept?"

"..." Granberia glanced at her sword pensively for a moment. "...No." Kenshin turned his head to her. "I know Yukari and Miyuki did it...and they earned it by fighting Yama, Rizevim, and two of the Ancestors. I'll earn the power my own way."

"..." Kenshin closed his eyes with a soft smirk. "I thought so." He points one of his dual blades forward. "Now go."

"Right!" Granberia said flying past him into the fray of Evil Dragons which were being struck down left, right and center, she herself helping with effort..

"Cross Crisis!" Xenovia shouted slashing Durandal and Excalibur crossed over each other.

"Vaporizing Rebellion Sword!" Granberia shouted.

"Become this Mantis' prey!" Inutora yelled doing the same as Granberia.

"All of you, think carefully about your pace when fighting!" Griselda said.

"I won't fall behind either!" Kiba said rushing forward with Garm in hand and called forth the Dragon Knights to defeat many of the Evil Dragons. With Kiba at the Vanguard with Garm in hand, the rest of the Dragon Knights.

"I'll incinerate the Evil Dragons behind Yuuto-Senpai's sword!" Koneko said hurling several kasha at the Evil Dragons,

"Ara, fire is one of my favorites!" Ravel also joined the battle, spreading her wings of fire open and sent out fierce flamethrowers. Her collaboration with Koneko was perfect. Kiba the vanguard, Koneko bringing up the rear while Ravel acted as support.

"Why didn't she listen to us and stay back?" Issei said.

"She came to me later and begged me to let her come with, as you know we've been training together. Her fire actually packs quite a punch." Kenshin said. "So yeah that was a respectable fold by me." Kenshin said. "I told her to act as support only unless a dire emergency came up or I'd throw her out of the battle." Kenshin stared ahead at Trihexa which had yet to make an offensive move. Once it did, he would charge in. For now he'd conserve his power.

However. He would do one thing. "Rias come here!"

"Right!" Rias said flying up to Kenshin. With her came Seekvaira who flew next to Issei.

"Transfer it." Kenshin said putting his hand on Rias' shoulder

"Embrace! Elemental Destruction Pri-!"

"Eh? !" Rias said as the Scale Mail of the Elemental Overdrive began to form over her, only for the armor to shatter, the orbs of the Scale Mail fusing into a singularity. "Eh?"

"Grab it and press it against your chest girlie." Yuurei said.

Kenshin looked down at himself. "Yuurei?"

"The orbs are too hard to place on her. So the Yonseirei and I decided to call an audible." Yuurei said.

"Very well." Rias said pressing the orb against her chest. Her form shined before she was revealed to have her irises turned golden.

"We'll call this form the Elemental Demigoddess of Destruction." Yuurei said. "This was what that King Piece of hers was made for. To contain this when she met you and you two bonded."

"...Onii-Sama would ask me to send it to Ajuka-Sama a lot after Kenshin showed up, especially after he died and came back." Rias said looking down at herself.

Meanwhile Issei was whipping out the wyvern fairies which surrounded Seekvaira, which wrapped around her, forming a Scale Mail. "Crimson Dragon, Machine Princess!" The armor announced.

"Huh?" Seekvaira looked down at herself. "This...feels way stronger than before."

"Partner's been training since Mundus Magicus. Still. Now that he's used the god power, his body is adjusting to it, that includes the wyvern fairies." Ddraig said. "It shouldn't affect you, but you lose it get off the battlefield. You will be wiped out from a stamina standpoint"

"Very well." Seekvaira said extending her hand forward casting a large barrier. The Evil Dragons that were charging toward them all slowed down considerably. "My time barrier won't affect you three, go!"

Rias and Issei took off annihilating every Evil Dragon and Fake Sekiryuutei in their way. However Kenshin stood pat. "Archduke Kenshin?" Seekvaira said. "Aren't you going to help them?"

"They can handle themselves." Kenshin said his eyes trained hard on Trihexa. "If I fight here, it'll be against that beast." Kenshin said. "It was mine and our job to keep this thing sealed. As Primordial of Life I will throw everything I have at it. I'm trusting you all to deal with Apophis, Azi Dahaka and the fodder. The second that thing moves to attack I'm going in."

"I see." Seekvaira said.

Kenshin looked back, seeing Rossweisse making preparations for the barrier. Hundreds of magic circles in her hand, prepared to restrain Trihexa. Meanwhile Gasper transformed into a dark beast and carried Valerie, defeating the Evil Dragons that rushed them along the way.

"Don't touch Valerie!" Gasper roared.

"Ufufu~! How handsome, Gasper," Valerie giggled.

"Burn to nothing!" Saji shouted, incinerating Evil Dragons.

"Hah!" Sona manipulated the sea it's self from the surface of the sea. The water becoming a giant serpent which entangled the Evil Dragons and dragged them to the depths, Any of them that came at Sona were dealt with by Tsubaki, while the rest of her peerage supported and cooperated as a perfect team.

(squish, splash!)

"Hm?" Sona glanced over seeing Erubetie appear. "Erubetie-San?" Sona said.

"Your idea is nice and all, but let me throw my own spin on it, also, my slimes are going down there to eat those dragons later." Erubetie said.

"That's fine, and go ahead." Sona said crossing her arms with a smile.

"Right..." Erubetie flew through handsigns and clapped her now gloved purple hands together. "Slime Tsunami! !"

Giant swaths of slime raged forward wrapping around hundreds of Evil Dragons, leaving their wings exposed so they'd still fly. The slime connecting them split off and returned to Erubetie.

"Hang on. Let me add my spin on to this." They turned to see Akatama appear along with Bureijin.

"Yeah, we came here for a reason sweeties, let us have a turn." Bureijin said.

"Hrm!" Akatama uncorked his gourd while stomping on the surface of the water as all the water in his gourd came rushing out and dove into the sea.

"Wha?" Sona said.

"Even though I can use all the elements. I'm at my best in the sea, which is why it's odd Kenshin never utilized me." He said as the water began to heat up. He pulled swaths and swaths of water out of the sea. The water I sent into the sea gives me control over whatever body of water I'm standing on."

"While he's doing that, I'm heating up the water while he's pulling it out." Bureijin said, his body surrounded in flames.

"Wait, it gives you control over the body of water you're on?" Sona said with wide eyes. "This is the sea though!"

"It's not as overpowered as you think, it takes longer to spread the bigger the body and the amount of control is taxing as hell for the size as well, so I mainly keep it localized. Anyway." He sent the now boiling water spheres toward the bound Evil Dragons. "Just figured I'd give you a hand in heating that up. Take it from here Slime Queen."

"Right." Erubetie said as the water continued to rush in.

Sona extended her hand forward. "I know how to heat water up too."

"Yeah, but my controlled water raises it's boiling point by a lot and when it combines with Erubetie's slime, forget it." Akatama said.

"Well then I'll just have to try harder. Tsubaki, have my back." Sona said.

"Yes Sona." Tsubaki said.

"Haaa!" Erubetie shouted as the slime around the Evil Dragons began to glow brightly and the dragons roared in pain. "Localized Fission Bomb!"

(Booooooom!)

A massive explosion went off, eliminating the hordes of Evil Dragons completely. Sona turned to Erubetie, who looked winded but fine. "Are you OK?"

"Yes, thanks to the slime I absorbed from Kanade-Sama, I'll still be able to fight. Also, don't worry about radioactivity. The particles still remain ofter the explosion and are already flowing back to me. It's something Kanade told me, it's a special type of explosion. That leaves nothing in it's wake, because what's returning to me is the slime spirits I absorbed over my lifetime to rest. It's not a move I can throw around freely."

"I see." Sona said. "Pull back and act as support for now."

"Right." Erubetie said as she disappeared.

"We're still ready to go if you need us So-Tan." Bureijin said only to get a crowd of water serpents around his head.

"It's embarrassing, but only Onee-Sama and Kenshin are allowed to call me that and for the latter it's only in private." Sona said with a glare.

"Ahaha, sorry, sorry." Bureijin said waving his hands with a smile. "I mean it completely innocently. If you don't like it I'll stop."

Meanwhile, Akeno and Suzaku both flew into the air. Suzaku stood on the back of a large, scarlet bird. Suzaku glanced at Kenshin. "Why has he not summoned Tiamat?"

As if reading her thoughts Akeno said. "Kenshin-kun asked Tiamat if she could go, but she said she was still much too injured from hers and Kenshin-kun's battle against Ragnarok Kuroshi, that her performance here would leave a stain on her title of the Strongest Dragon King. That she regrets not being able to be here because it was still doing that. Kenshin-kun told her, 'fuck your title, your life is what Ajuka and I care about. Stay back and recover.'"

"I see. Anyway, let's get started Akeno!" Suzaku said creating a large fireball that slowly took the shape of a fiery bird.

"Yes! Suzaku-anesama!" Akeno said.

"? !" Kenshin glanced back. "So that's the sacred beast Akeno always told me about in passing. Her Aneesama named after it. The Vermillion Bird, Guardian of the South recorded in both Chinese and Japanese Mythologies. Suzaku. The Sacred Beast of the Himejima clan."

"Haaaaaa!" Akeno shouted as she sent barrages of Holy Lightning Dragons into the Evil Dragon's forces alongside Suzaku.

However, the bulk of the fake Sekiryuutei forces charged and launched Dragon Shots at Yasaka's youkai. Suzaku sent in her fire bird Suzaku to defend, but it was obliterated.

"No!" Akatama said. "Grand Cardinals on me! !"

"Right!" Jordan, Bureijin and Inutora shouted flying in front of the Dragon Shots.

However, a white winged figure rushed by them. "Sword of Heaven!"

A wide swath of holy magic obliterated most of the Dragon Shots. "I got most of them!"

"Yes, thank you Micaela-San! Ouka Houken!" Negi said as a concentrated blast of holy arrows ripped through the fake Sekiryuutei.

"Haaa!" A giant shuriken sliced through their forces.

"Haaaaa!" A tan skinned, blonde haired figure tore through their forces as well. At the same time a dog eared youkai was swinging a maul, crushing fake Sekiryuutei like a madwoman.

(Bang! Bang! Bang!)

Bodies of the fake Sekiryuutei started to drop. "!" Kenshin looked over, seeing a fake Sekiryuutei charging him only to get cleaved in half by a familiar blade. He looked over, seeing Asuna. "Hey, aren't you supposed to be in Europe? !" Kenshin said.

Negi flew up next to him. "When we got there, we saw Ricardo and the Megalomesembria armed forces handling things, Teritum was even there. He told me to return to your side. To leave Europe to him and that he'd handle the report."

"I see..." Kenshin closed his eyes with a smile.

"So, what's with the jewels being in your body Kenshin?" Asuna asked.

"This is the Demigod State." Kenshin said.

"Then why aren't you fighting?" Asuna asked.

Kenshin pointed at Trihexa. "I'm trusting in you all, but that big bastard is mine." Kenshin said.

"Heh, always taking the big one." Asuna said.

"I do agree with Tertium about a couple of things." Negi said.

"Oh?" Kenshin said.

"Yeah. Megalo is making up for the attack on my home all those years ago..." Negi paused to smile. "And Tertium was right. My place is with you." Negi said. "I'll visit Stan-San, Anya and Nekane later."

"As sweet as that was. We still have work to do." Dulio said as a holy light illuminated the sky.

"Ghh!" All the devils groaned.

"What is this?" Kaede, Ku Fei, Setsuna, Konoka, Mana, Yuuna, Iris and Atsuki all said.

"Balance Break!" Dulio shouted.

As Dulio's aura inflated, Akatama got in touch with Kenshin. "Hey Kenshin."

"Yo?"

"What's with these golden auras?" Akatama asked.

"Hm?" He glanced back, seeing Asia dressed in a two piece golden armor, the aura, the shape of a dragon behind her. He saw Konoka with her. "Hm, seems Twilight Healing and Fafnir have combined to create a subspecies Balance Breaker." Kenshin said. "The aura is friendly, it's healing you."

"Really?" Akatama said looking down at himself, finding it easier to move.

"There's no need to worry everyone! I will heal everyone's wounds, so please fight on at your best!" Asia said.

Dulio's wings, twelve in total shone with a golden light. He also had four halos above his head, his arms extended outward, Dulio moved forward, All of the Evil Dragons and fake Sekiryuutei in front of him were trapped within hundreds of bubbles, which then proceeded to change."

"Uh...Kenshin-kun, what's going on here?" Yuuna asked.

"Dulio is the Top Exorcist in Heaven. Where as Devils form peerages after chess pieces. Angels form their groups after suits of playing cards. Dulio holds the position of Joker and is the Leader of the organization I'm a part of, DxD." Kenshin said. "I've been waiting for this, watch him go to work!"

Yuuna looked over as the Evil Dragons and fake Sekiryuutei that were trapped in front of Dulio were bombarded as the bubbles changed to either, intensely swirling flames, violent hurricanes, freezing cold air which froze everything and lightning, similar to the wrath of god occurred within the bubbles. Dulio meanwhile made hundreds more. Thousands of Evil Dragons and fake Sekiryuutei suffering and the area of effect was still expanding.

"Geh! Kenshin, this guy's technique is busted!" Asuna said with Yuuna nodding in agreement.

"I guess that's what made him Heaven's special soldier-aru." Ku Fei said with a grin.

"Aah, thank you for the compliment Miss Ku Fei." Dulio said. "This is the Balance Breaker of my Sacred Gear Zenith Tempest! Flagello di Colori del Arcobeleno, Speranza di Briscola! Unlike it's counterpart which stops fighting, these bubbles dish out a variety of divine punishment! Sorry if the name is a little long winded." Dulio said. "It just became some plus alpha subspecies the more I used it."

"A little? ! It's outrageously long winded!" Issei said as he downed Evil Dragons and fake Sekiryuuteis left and right.

Kenshin smirked as Dulio's Balance Breaker laid waste to the bulk of the Evil Dragons and Fake Sekiryuuteis while the rest were picked off by either the angels, fallen angels, being led by Raynare. Youkai, or straight out shot out of the sky by Mana or Yuuna. "Alright Valerie, Gasper, it's you're time to shine!"

However, as the fighting force advanced, a sinister voice was heard. "An Impressive Fight. Kenshin Kuroshi. You've amassed quite the forces to think you can stand by and wait for the Beast to provoke you, instead of you provoking it."

On Trihexa's head stood a brown skinned youth, wearing vestments from Egypt. Kenshin stared him down. "What? You think you got the bones to take me when you ran from Kanon with your tail between your legs. She's strong, but she's not her mother in her prime." He scoffed. "Give me a break."

Valerie and Gasper approached Apophis who held up the third Holy Grail. "True True, I was told to retreat, but I have to ask." Apophis smirked. "What the fuck are you going to do about the second wave?"

"? !" Kenshin's eyes widened as mass produced Evil Dragons and fake Sekiryuutei appeared around Trihexa again. The sky was obscured by darkness again. Everyone was shocked.

"How can this be...? !" Jordan said with wide eyes.

"No way! This has gotta be a lie right? !" Asuna said.

"Our plans...never accounted for something like this...for them to just have the energy and power to just resurrect their whole army." Miyuki said, utterly shocked.

"GRRRHHH!" Kenshin growled and raised Angel Halo skyward. "IT DOESN'T MATTER! !"

Everyone looked to Kenshin who scowled at both Trihexa and Apophis. "Kenshin...?" Negi and Asuna both said.

"THIS CHANGES NOTHING!" Kenshin said slamming his fist against his chest. "WE CAME HERE KNOWING THE PRICE OF OUR FAILURE! WE WILL DOWN THESE BASTARDS AS MANY TIMES AS WE NEED TO! OFFER UP YOUR HEARTS, BODIES AND SOULS TO PREVENT THE END OF EVERYTHING! ! !"

A thunderous roar shot through the youkai, from Kyoto and Makai alike, the angels, fallen angels and devils that were there. Raynare turned to the Fallen Angels. "He's right! Are we going to cower because we have to put in a little more work? !"

"FUCK NO!" The Fallen Angels chorused.

Dulio turned to the Angels. "Come on guys, are we really gonna let the Fallen Angels, Youkai and Devils lord this one over us?"

"Absolutely not, Joker-Sama! Direct us!" The Angels said

"Well, what are we waiting for ladies." Mana said communicating with the Negi force that came from Wales. She smirked. "We aren't just gonna let them have all the fun are we?"

"Well I don't have a choice. I'm on healing duty." Iris said, her white wings extended outward, a white aura healing everyone around her.

"Wow, Iris-San, your healing ability is amazing!" Asia said.

"Thanks yours is awesome too Asia!" Iris said with a grin.

"Please, Mana. You know when you and I share a battlefield it always turns into some sort of contest." Kaede said holding her giant shuriken at the ready.

"So we gotta take them out again? Big deal." Yuuna said.

"Let's do this-aru!" Ku Fei said.

"Hmn..." Atsuki smiled. "I guess I can find a little more out as to why Kotarou and Kenshin love fighting so much."

"Heh, always the consummate leader." Akatama said turning toward the Grand Cardinals and the Heavenly Knights. "Our commander, no, our King just commanded us to fight on, are we going to refuse the call? !"

"Absolutely not." Granberia said holding her Ares at the ready, bringing out her devil wings.

"Hmph, who do you think you're talking to." Inutora said.

"Not me I'm sure." Tamamo said waving herself with her fan.

"Me neither." Alma said with a wink. "I still have to get that man up there in bed after all."

"Hahaha, always thinking about the fun afterward Alma-Chan." Bureijin said. "That said. Let's do this."

"I just recently reunited with my wife. I won't fall here!" Jordan shouted.

"I may not be able to use my ultimate technique again, but I'm far from finished." Erubetie said as her slime swelled up.

"Then allow us to assist."

The Knights and Cardinals looked over to see Saja, Kanade, Hiruko, Kanon and Minagi land near them. "Sorry if we're late. We just wanted to ensure Mother's safety." Saja said.

"Hey, the more the merrier." Akatama said with a smirk.

"Eh, better late than never." Bureijin said.

Apophis looked down in disdain. "Kenshin Kuroshi...you have constantly been a thorn in our side. I break their morale, you restore it in an instant." Apophis said. "Very well, Trihexa, are you finally ready to play?"

Trihexa let out a low growl. Apophis smiled. "Very well, your target is your fellow Primordial." He said. "He has a lot of lives for you to sever as well, standing behind him."

"!" Kenshin's eyes widened as Trihexa began to lurch and move, but not only that, Trihexa was moving directly toward him, it's mouth open wide, welling out a massive fireball. Kenshin glanced back at all the people below and behind him. He turned to Trihexa with an angry smirk as the elements surrounded his body. "YOU WANT ME! ! COME GET ME! !"

The fireball launched outward. With zero hesitation Kenshin charged forward. "Full Body Elemental Spica! !"

The fireball Trihexa had launched was fierce however, pushing Kenshin backward. Apophis chuckled. "Please Kenshin Kuroshi, even in that bastardized god form of yours, you stand no chance against the might of Trihexa!"

"Yeah, well what if he wasn't alone! !" A pair of voices shouted.

(Zoom! Zoom! Crash!)

(Zoom! Zoom! Crash!)

"? !" Kenshin looked to his right and his left seeing Miyuki, using the Perfected Dragon Fist and Yukari using the final slash of her Lunar Requiem technique. "Yukari! Miyuki!"

"Oh please Kenshin, did you really think we'd let you have all the fun? !" Yukari said as her green eyes shone brilliantly. "Like I told you earlier. "Succeed or Fail, I'm right there with you till the end!

"Same here Onii-Chan! In Life and in Death we will always be with you!" Miyuki said her purple eyes shining brightly.

"They've awakened the Demigod State." Kenshin thought before smirking. "Alright! Let's show this bastard what the Kuroshi Tsuki siblings can fuckin' do!" Kenshin said.

"!" Apophis watched as Trihexa's fireball was getting forced back. "Grrh! What are these three? !"

"We're family!" Miyuki shouted.

"We protect each other!" Yukari yelled.

"And if need be, we will DIE for each other! !" Kenshin roared as they continued to shove the fireball back toward Trihexa.

"And they're not alone!"

"? !" Kenshin noticed a couple of figures slam a couple of zanbatou like swords into the fireball one stood between him and Miyuki, the other between him and Yukari. He recognized both maroon hair and orange hair, as well as the distinct ringing of bells from the latter. "Negi, Asuna? !"

"This is our world too!" Asuna said.

"Let's defend it together!" Negi said.

"Heh." Kenshin smirked. "ALRIGHT!"

"HHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Kenshin, Yukari, Miyuki, Negi and Asuna all roared, before the combined force of the elements, Negi's restored mana and Asuna's ability to cancel magic obliterated the fireball, preventing it from hurting anyone.

"Haa...haa...haa...haa..." Kenshin's arms were shaking as were everyone else's as he scowled up at Trihexa. "Come on...is that all you got?" He said with a smirk as blood rolled down his arms, even in the Demigod State.

"Kenshin! Don't tell me you-" Yukari was cut off.

"I was the focal point of that attack, I didn't have time to cast Yume Shouheki." Kenshin said, still smirking at Trihexa. "Come on, you overgrown bitch, got another one in you...?"

Trihexa seemed to pause, alerting Apophis. "Trihexa."

"..." Trihexa looked down at Kenshin, seeing several shadowy figures behind him. "This boy...even in the face of doom, he shows no fear. He believes he can stop all this..." Trihexa thought, from it's core. Trihexa growled. "Apophis, when the time comes, and it will come...leave that boy with the golden eyes to me."

"Eh? Why? If you don't mind me asking?" Apophis said.

"Something about that boy concerns me. Something I've not felt since I was sealed." Trihexa said.

"!" Apophis looked down at Trihexa. "You think the Dragon of the Elements is on God's level? !"

"No, not even close, but I've just been released and have not yet fully acclimated to mine or the Primordial of Reality's power. I may not ever be able to use his power, except to take over Yahweh's creation. I'd like to teach that whelp a lesson in respect personally." Trihexa said.

"A lesson in respect eh? !"

"? !" Apophis looked up seeing Kenshin above them in an instant.

"Well I guess class is in session cause I'm taking you to school!" Kenshin said diving down toward Trihexa.

"You really think I'll let you do as you please? !" Apophis said.

"Yukari, Negi." Kenshin said.

"Haaaaaa!" The two rushed forward and batted Apophis away.

"Now, where were we...ahh." Kenshin rushed Trihexa, his left leg coated in the elements. "Elemental Ax!" He said slamming his leg against the beast's nose.

The elements transferred to his arms. "I ain't done with you yet!" He said rushing Trihexa who had recoiled from his previous attack. "Haaaaahhh! ! Elemental Spica! Perfect Mayhem! !" He said slamming his fists back and forth across Trihexa's nose.

Finally the Beast of the Apocalypse had enough and lurched forward. "!" Kenshin barely dodged as Trihexa bit both his left leg, wing and arm off.

"? !" Asuna's eyes widened and she rushed upward and blasted Trihexa with a Katensho and grabbed Kenshin.

"Asuna, what are you doing?" Kenshin said.

"What am I-? I'm saving your ass, you just lost three of your freakin limbs!" Asuna snapped.

"Let me go, I'll be fine. How are you even flying anyway?" Kenshin said.

"As it turns out, Magic Cancel doesn't ignore support or augmentation magic. It's how Konoka can heal me and Negi can empower me with our pactio contract." Asuna said. "So I had Negi show me the levitation technique."

"Huh, checks out." Kenshin said. "Anyway." He flew forward. "Here's why my missing limbs don't mean anything...HRRRAAAH!"

Asuna felt mildly queasy seeing new limbs shoot out of the stumps. "O-OK, E-Ew."

"I know, I know it's gross, but don't worry about me losing limbs." Kenshin said.

"Uh, hey Kenshin? You're gonna want to see this." Kazumi said through a communication circle. A screen appeared in front of him and Asuna. "This happened after Asuna blasted him."

"? !" Kenshin and Asuna stared in shock as the wounds that they had both dealt to Trihexa's face...had healed almost instantaneously. "...What the...fuck? I put everything I had into those attacks, and it just shrugs them off like it wasn't shit? !"

"That makes what you just did seem like child's play." Asuna said.

"Am I...going to HAVE to go into the Dragon God of the Elements form here...but I don't even get how it happened the first time!" Kenshin thought before shaking his head. "No! Get it together Kenshin! If you fold here, a lot of people will too, and many more will die!"

He then moved forward, alerting Asuna. "Kenshin, what are you doing?"

"There's an old saying...there are two days that are of the utmost importance in ones like..." Kenshin said holding up two fingers. "For me however...it's four." He said holding up four fingers. "The day I was born...the day Mom pulled me from death, my soul splitting in two, so Luka could meet Alice and his friends, while I was reunited with my family, met Negi, you, the 3-A students, then finally. I came here and had my world view flipped on it's head. I finally had something to hold on to." Kenshin said. "Then...I was reborn by Ragnarok, Great Red and Ophis. I'll tell you about the former two later." Kenshin said as battle raged around them. "In the back of my mind though...I always wondered...why me? Why was I the only one who said yes to him? I had my own reasons sure, but after asking Heinrich his reason. His beloved Mary was gone, that woman in the Alice in Wonderland getup. Shin Tatsu, after he felt he was the reason for the former Demon King Forbesii went off the deep end. Then Dad..." Kenshin went silent. "So I was the one...and I always wondered why I was the one who chose to get reborn...out of all of those powerful men...and it just hit me..." Kenshin said. "Today is that fourth day...the reason I was born, why I was reborn."

Asuna looked down seeing Kenshin clutching both his dual blade naginatas, which were shaking, but as she looked up, she saw Kenshin's eyes were wide, but he was smirking like a feral beast.

"You're it ain't ya?" Kenshin said staring hard at Trihexa. "The stronger and stronger I get, the more I feel like I'm living in a world made of sand. I could pound into it all day long, but no enjoyment could be derived from it. That's not to say the opponents I've faced have been weak, no. It's just...Alipheese was right. Ragnarok, me. We're both wild, savage beasts, desiring of companionship sure, but when the time for battle comes, we're constantly searching for that one opponent, to make us experience a true battle! With the hearts racing and the blood rushing and trust me. I've experienced plenty of true battles before, I just didn't know it at the time, or was worried about other things." Kenshin said as his purple aura wrapped around him, the elements taking their respective places around his arms and legs, before exploding outward with his aura, his smirk disappearing and eyes narrowing into a scowl. "I don't know if I'm on your level you beast...but I'll be DAMNED if you're going to roll up into OUR HOME and do as you please! EVEN IF IT KILLS ME, YOU'RE GOING BACK IN YOUR SEAL OR IN THE DIRT! !"

(boom!)

"Aaah? !" Asuna was blown back, holding her head as Kenshin took off, a sonicboom in his wake. "Konoka, Setsuna. Get up here, I think that blast off just now blew both my eardrums out!"

"What's wrong with Ken-kun?" Konoka said as she healed Asuna.

"He went on this long monologue about why he felt he was born, revived by Hikari-San, resurrected by this Ragnarok guy...and that his entire life of battle, has been for this moment." Asuna said. "He's going to fight that thing attacking our home, even if it kills him to see it beaten."

Setsuna stopped Konoka as she tried to pursue Kenshin. "Ojou-Sama don't."

"Secchan, what ar-" Konoka said.

"In a strange sort of way. I get how Kenshin feels." Setsuna said. "Before he met us Kono-Chan. He and his Dad were nomads remember. Then he met Negi at the Welsh Magic Academy, but his work at Rikudou constantly kept him away, even though he was slowly falling in love with her. Then came Mahora and Rikudou's downfall. He never showed it, but I'm sure the latter devastated him. He had lost another safe haven to call home. Eventually after he was brought here, we found out that half the mage faculty hated him and wanted him gone." Setsuna growled, bowing her head. "Then he was brought here...and finally...he finally had a home...and now...it too is being threatened. I finally get what Yukari told me earlier."

"Kenshin's going into this just as frightened as the rest of us. He'll always hide it, but after all we've been through in this world alone. The two trips to Mundus Magicus, saving Makai from Forbesii. He finally claimed a place to call home. He can't hide it from me anymore, and he shouldn't be able to hide it from anyone now."

"So the-"

"No." Yukari said cutting Setsuna off. "You just didn't know of Kenshin's experiences since leaving Mahora. Setsuna...I'm not lying when I say his time around the devils, fallen angels, angels and Youkai here...I've never been so grateful to see him act so happy and cheerful, to just not see him checking his back every ten minutes to make sure the people around him weren't in danger." Yukari said. "There have been rocky parts sure, but nothing compared to what he'd experienced growing up."

Setsuna repeated these words to Konoka and Asuna, but also had communications open with Negi, Ku Fei, Iris, Atsuki, Kaede and Mana before going on. "I get how he feels, because before your family took me in Kono-Chan, I was the same!"

"Secchan...!" Konoka said with tears rolling down her face,

"..." Mana put a hand to her face, feeling wetness. "Kenshin...I had...no idea...even with the events that happened at Mundus Magicus." She said with wide eyes, before wiping them. "Well no matter. I'm right there with you! Your home, my home, the orphanage I've been funding. I'll protect them with you! !"

"Hee." Ku Fei sobbed softly. "Kenshin, I never knew you had it that hard-aru!"

"I know, but we need to focus, Ku." Kaede said.

"Right...and focusing for me...Adeat!" Ku Fei said as a quarterstaff appeared in her hands. "Shintentetsu Jizaikon!"

"Kenshin..." Atsuki held her unarmed hand at her chest, tears in her eyes. "When we met again, after you saved me from my abusive father in law, after I had turned up after your Rikudou comrades had been slaughtered...you always treated me with kindness and adoration when we met again in Kyoto." Atsuki said. "Yet, I never knew...how much pain you were hiding." Atsuki said. "I think I get why you love fighting so much at least...it's the only way you've known how to live for so long...and you've been shown a new way...and you desperately want to hang on to it." Atsuki said as a strange feeling bubbled up within her as her hair lengthened, claws sharpening, a near feral look in her eyes as she took off toward Trihexa. "I will protect you Kenshin! !"

Kenshin rocketed toward Trihexa, however he noticed Apophis break away from Yukari and Negi and shoot toward him. He sighed and tossed one of his dual blade naginatas up high.

(clench!)

"Gulh? !" Apophis let out a strangled gasp as Kenshin's hand wrapped around his throat tightly. "Wh-What?"

Kenshin kept his eyes locked on Trihexa. "What...do you think you're doing?" Kenshin said.

"Grhh!" Apophis bashed both his arms against Kenshin's one, but it had no effect. "What? !"

"..." Kenshin said nothing as Apophis kept bashing Kenshin's arm. "Grhh! Unhand me!" Apophis shouted.

"It took Ra himself to hold you at bay, to kill you...yet you're having trouble breaking my grip." Kenshin said, still not even looking at him. "I've never met Ra, but I can say this...complacency has robbed you of your strength." Kenshin said. "It's robbed most of the gods of theirs. Letting their servants and their hand picked heroes to carry the load." Kenshin said. "Why else would a demigod like me be able to hold you back when it took the Chief God of Egypt to down you?"

Yukari and Negi watched this. "What's...going on with Kenshin?" Negi asked. "Setsuna-San told us all that, but it almost seems like Kenshin's..."

"His blood is rushing, his heart is racing. He's craving battle right now and that Evil Dragon fool cut him off from his desired opponent." Yukari said. "I see now..." Yukari said. "When Kenshin is faced with an opponent like this, any other enemy that gets in his way is meaningless to him. Like you heard in his battle against Alipheese. I'm starting to believe she was right, against Mirai, if my life wasn't in the balance back then. I'm sure the battle would have excited him a lot more. He wouldn't have let anyone get in his way. In our battles during the Mahora festival. I could tell he was excited then too. He considered me an equal." Yukari said.

"And me?" Negi said. "We did end up throwing down after you two."

"Part of it was him admiring how far you had come, but yeah, throwing down with you in a match made him happy." Yukari said, before shaking her head. "I'm getting off track." She smiled. "He's desired companionship all this time, lovers...but also rivals." Yukari glanced at Issei who was readying a Crimson Blaster to fire at Trihexa. "And none of us will let him leave us in the dust, will we?" Her green eyes glew brightly.

Lightning crackled around Negi who slipped into a stance and smiled. "Not at all!"

"After this however." Yukari said. "Negi we seriously need to work on your strength. Like Rakan said when you fought him. Your strikes have nothing behind them past the sheer velocity of moving at the speed of lightning."

"I know. Ultimately the Raiten Taisou II is imperfect, it always has been." Negi said before seeing Evil Dragons and Fake Sekiryuutei started to swarm around Kenshin and Apophis.

Meanwhile Apophis kept slamming his hands against Kenshin's arm to no avail. "Damn it, Let! ME! GO!"

"Show me some actual strength and maybe I'll think about it." Kenshin said, still not even looking at him. "This is all the power you have Apep?" Kenshin said, using Apophis' alternate name. "If so..." Kenshin's eyes glew. "You will never...beat...me..."

"Grrrhhhh! That's what you think!" Apophis said thrusting forward, his hands poised to cleave Kenshin's head off with shadow magic.

"Hrmph." Kenshin closed his eyes and threw Apophis backward as the dual blade Kenshin had cast upward earlier sailed back down and sliced Apophis' arms off. Kenshin caught it afterward.

"A-Aaahh?" Apophis gasped out, looking at his bleeding stumps for arms.

"So complacent." Kenshin sighed. "Let this be a lesson to you Apophis...if you live past this day that is." Kenshin said. "Complacency kills strength." Kenshin said, finally looking Apophis dead in the eyes, blasting him with a full burst of Serene Conqueror.

"! !" Apophis' eyes widened in fear.

"And I don't mean just letting peace relax you. I still want peace to reign, but don't let your victories defeat you and become lazy! Never pursue conflict, but always BE READY FOR IT!" Kenshin roared.

"You're a madman!" Apophis said.

"Maybe I am...I've never claimed to be sane, but...if you wish to die again..." Kenshin raised his dual blades. "I'm more than happy to oblige."

"N-No...! Fuck this I'm out of here!" Apophis said rushing away.

Kenshin looked over seeing the Evil Dragon retreating. "Sun Wukong taught me that lesson. I should never become complacent. He looked over at Trihexa again. "Then again...the gods always think they're at the top...so why would they ever need to look up?" Kenshin smirked to himself but said nothing, instead rushing toward Trihexa.

Trihexa roared and lunged forward, slashing it's claws at Kenshin. "!'

"Shin Raikouken! ! !"

"? !" Kenshin's eyes widened as he saw Setsuna slash into the shoulder of the arm that was attacking him, her Yuunagi wreathed in fierce lightning. "Se-Setsuna!"

"Kaede now! !" Setsuna said.

"Haaa!" Kaede roared. "Bakusa Chimoujin!"

"Graaggh!" Trihexa growled as Kaede's shuriken dug into his shoulder chains wrapping around it which Kaede proceeded to pull strongly on. He lurched one of his other arms forward.

"I don't think so-aru!" A massive ki blast shot out and blasted the arm backward. Ku Fei appeared in front of Kenshin.

"Wait...how are you..." Kenshin said with wide eyes.

"After you disappeared. We all threw ourselves into training. Evangeline was honestly shocked at how eager we were." Setsuna said. "That's why Hottan, or Hottan Ialda rather summoned Loki. Any one of us that could fight had trained up to your level. We even left a month later than we were supposed to, troubling Kono-Chan's grandfather." Setsuna said. "You're not leaving us in the dust Kenshin, count on it. After all...Yukari has to be the best example of this."

"...Heh." Kenshin smirked. "I was Negi's assistant teacher, but I never expected to teach you my resolve."

(Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!)

Several black spheres erupted from Trihexa's wound before it's arm fell off completely. "Try recovering from having your muscular tissue sent into the future." Mana said with a smirk.

"The BCTL bullets, you still had those?" Kenshin said as he flew toward Trihexa.

"They're emergency items, and this IS an emergency." Mana said.

Kenshin got in touch with Chachamaru. "Chachamaru, get me in touch with everyone. If it hurts your processors I'll call Satomi over for a diagnostics check."

"OK Kenshin-San." Chachamaru said.

"Before that, give me a private line with Evangeline." Kenshin said.

"Yes."

"Hm?" Evangeline said, blasting Evil Dragons and Fake Sekiryuutei one by one with a bored expression. "Kenshin?"

"It's time to stop holding back. I know there's a lot but will the Endless White Nine Heavens spell work on these things like they worked on Hottan Ialda's constructs?" Kenshin said.

"Oh ho?" Evangeline smiled. "You want me to use my strongest construct crippling spell? That's awful tiring you know."

"Please Evangeline don't haggle with me right now!" Kenshin said.

"Hahahaha, my price is that we go another round." Evangeline said.

"You horny vampire..." Kenshin said. "Alright fi-"

"We're all going to make it out of this...so...I want both you AND Negi." Evangeline said.

"It's up to Negi on her part, but as far as I go, deal." Kenshin said.

"Eh, if she refuses, oh well." Evangeline said. "I'll need some protection."

"Right." Kenshin said. "Now Chachamaru!"

"Right! Ghh!" Chachamaru said as she opened up communications with everyone putting a massive strain on her servers. "No...I! CAN! DO! THIS!"

Communication circles opened up with everyone. "DxD, Yasaka, Raynare, Dulio everyone of the forces we brought here. Hear my voice!" Kenshin shouted.

"E-Eh?"

"All of you attack Trihexa with everyone, The forces you've brought with you, attack the Evil Dragons. I have an attack in place to immobilize the fake Sekiryuutei. Don't worry, it will only attack them so fight on!" Kenshin said. "Rossweisse!"

"E-Eh? !" Rossweisse said, stepping back.

"Start getting that barrier ready, if we can't kill this fucker, we're going to seal it away!" Kenshin said "I can sense it, whatever core makes this thing up, it's here with us!" Kenshin said. "Rias, Issei are you all OK? ! That goes for all of you!" Kenshin shouted.

"We're fine!" Yukari said.

"We're all fine too." Rias said with a smile.

"We're OK too, albeit a little tired." Sona said.

"I've got Issei's Wyvern Fairies supplementing my mana, I'll be fine." Seekvaira said using her time magic to slow down any enemy in her path. "Still, I know his home was attacked but where's Sairaorg."

"His Breakdown the Beast transformation, Imperial Purpure, could have killed him. I told him if his body wasn't up for it, to stay home." Kenshin said.

"Well still, it wouldn't surprise me if he turned up." Seekvaira said.

"Trust me Seekvaira. That wouldn't surprise me either." Kenshin said. "Raynare. I know I said I wanted you to attack Trihexa, but please continue to attack the Evil Dragons." Kenshin said.

"Wh-What? ! Why are yo-"

"Think!" Kenshin said. "The angels have Dulio, the Youkai have Yasaka and the Grand Cardinals, the Devils have Rias, Sona and Seekvaira. This force as a whole has all them, plus me. Who do the Fallen Angels have? I don't see an Azazel, a Barkiel, a Penumene, Sahariel, or even that crazy fucker Armaros anywhere, do you? !"

"! !" Raynare's eyes widened before closing her eyes and smiling. "I see what you're trying to say."

"Lead them." Kenshin said. "You've all given belief in my ability to lead. Well I return the favor! Fallen Angel Raynare. I cede my command duties to you as part of the Evil Dragon Repelling force!"

"Right!" Raynare said.

"Now for the main event." Kenshin turning communications to Dulio. "Hey Dulio!"

"Yes?"

"That attack bubble thing you were doing, do you think you can do that shit on Trihexa itself?" Kenshin said.

"Well it'd take some time, but of course." Dulio said.

"Right! Light it up!" Kenshin said.

"So the Angels will protect Joker?" Raynare asked.

"Yes, but from what I'm sensing the other five Ancestral Youkai are here, they don't need orders, let them wreck shit!" Kenshin said. "They, along with Tamamo had a secret weapon to play, but I feel it would take too long to set up."

"I see. What about that Leviathan woman?" Raynare asked.

"I asked Katerea to stay behind and protect the Hyoudous, Ilias and Alipheese. Along with Mary Fateburn, y'know, Black Alice? We're not going to get every straggler after all."

"Right." Raynare said.

As Kenshin issued his orders, everyone else started to attack the beast. "Grah!" Yukari slashed both her swords against it's chest.

(clang!)

Kaede slashed her giant shuriken slamming against the back of Kazeken and Ryuuga. "Kaede? !"

"Heh, we're in the together de-gozaru!" Kaede said with a confident smile.

"That's right! !" Asuna said slamming her Hama no Tsurugi's blade against Kaede's shuriken. "No one's enduring a burden alone if we can help it!"

"Exactly!" Atsuki said smashing her maul against the assortment of bladed weapons trying to cut into Trihexa's chest. She scowled up at Trihexa himself as she drove her maul downward. "THIS IS OUR WORLD! WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO END IT? !"

"IT HAS NONE!" Atsuki looked up as Miyuki crashed onto their formation, wearing stone gauntlets, slightly too big for her hands, but gripping her maul nonetheless as wind exploded out of the gauntlets acting as propulsion. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

(boom!)

A brilliant flash went off as an explosion went off from Trihexa's chest. Kenshin looked over at Issei and everyone else. "KEEP POURING ON THE PAIN! !"

"Right! Crimson Blaster! !" Issei said blasting Trihexa.

"Haaaaaaaaa!" Rias threw volley after volley after volley at Trihexa.

"Raikouryuu!" Akeno said hurling her thunder dragon at it, yet it was clear she was getting tired.

"Suzaku, please lend me your aid again." Sweat rolling down her face Suzaku Himejima sent her family's summon at Trihexa.

(Crash!)

"Keep going! !" Kenshin roared. "DON'T GIVE IT A CHANCE TO THINK!

"Haaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!" Xenovia said forming a cross with Excalibur and Durandal. "Cross Crisis! !" Xenovia shouted, slicing into Trihexa with both her swords.

"HRRRRRAAAAYYYYYYYAAAAAAA! ! !" Kenshin roared diving toward Trihexa slashing wildly from all sides as it was peppered from a distance by Koneko, Yuuna and Mana. "Grrhhh! Evangeline now!"

"Right!" Evangeline said. "Endless White Nine Heavens!" Evangeline shouted.

Massive tendrils of white frozen lightning rushed across the battlefield freezing the fake Sekiryuutei solid.

"W-What is this? ! No matter!" Apophis said as he tried to use the Holy Grail to revive them, to no avail. "What? !"

"Anything artificial is frozen in this spell." Evangeline said with a smirk as she appeared in front of him. She smiled demurely. "I even found caches of them, ready to go and froze them too." Evangeline smirked. "Now if you'll excuse me...I have work to do."

At the same time Kenshin finally jumped away, panting heavily being held up by Negi.

"Kenshin, are you alright?" Negi asked.

"I'm fine..." Kenshin said filling his lungs with much needed air, scowling at Trihexa "Take...that...you...fuck...Dulio! Do it now!"

"Right!" Dulio said surrounding Trihexa in the largest possible bubble he could make, however, half way through it broke. "Tch..." Dulio gave a wry smile. "Well, this is the first time it's been broken... Trihexa is strong enough that even my Balance Breaker can't defeat it."

However...to Kenshin's anger, all the damage dealt to Trihexa was gone in an instant, like hadn't happened at all. "What? !" Kenshin seethed. "I know this is gonna sound hilarious coming from me, but can nothing kill this bitch? !"

However Trihexa continued to fight, as everyone continued to fight. Issei turned to Kenshin. "Kenshin! If this goes on, Trihexa's going to reach Japan!"

"No the fuck it isn't!" Kenshin said surrounding his dual blade naginatas spinning with the elements spiraling around them. "!" Kenshin looked over seeing Apophis rushing him again. "Tch, didn't you learn from earlier? ! You are not that guy!" Kenshin said taking off toward Apophis. "After I kill your sorry ass I'll be taking back that Sephiroth Graal!"

"Hahaha! You may find me hard prey to take! I'm ashamed of myself. Cowering before a lesser being like you!" Apophis said.

"Senpai!" Gasper said rushing behind Apophis with Valerie in tow.

"? !" Kenshin hear a loud boom and roar. Trihexa even slowed down. An immense holy aura immediately and soared like a pillar of light, streaking toward Apophis. At it's trajectory it would strike him, Gasper and Valerie as well. "Gasper, Valerie get out of there!" Kenshin said kicking himself off of a mana foothold, noticing that Apophis had already bailed. The person who had momentarily stopped Trihexa appeared before everyone's eyes.

"What's this, Hyoudou Issei, you're only facing something of this degree, yet you're already saying something discouraging like this. At least Kuroshi Kenshin is still trying to lead the charge."

"Fufu, no way. The show starts now. Isn't that right, Kuroshi Kenshin, Hyoudou Issei."

In front of them was Crom Cruach and Cao Cao who tapped the True Longinus on his shoulder. "Oh, nice of you two to show up, I mean it's only the fucking Apocalypse we're dealing with here." Kenshin snorted.

"Did it occur to you that we were notified late?" Crom Cruach said. "In any case I need to pay back the kindness Tannin showed me. That and if you, Hyoudou Issei or Vali Lucifer were to die here, I'd find that quite troubling." Crom Cruach said as his right arm turned into a dragon's claw and gathered a massive amount of aura and slashed it out, eliminating thousands of Evil Dragons and frozen fake Sekiryuutei. At the same time Cao Cao entered his Balance Breaker state, standing on top of an orb, swinging his Holy Spear, a large portion of the Evil Dragons were wiped out.

Crom glanced over at Kenshin, then to Issei who was a bit further off in the distance. "...I haven't finished watching you guys. So that's the main reason I'm here to help."

Cao Cao tapped his spear against his shoulder a couple of times. "If anyone's defeating you two, it's going to be me." Cao Cao said.

"Yeah Yeah whatever Cao Cao. All you and Crom did was wipe out a bunch of fodder." Kenshin snorted. "I wanna see what you two can do against that." He said pointing one of his dual blades at Trihexa. "Nonetheless, I'm glad you two are here." Cao Cao and Crom Cruach nodded.

"Hey wait!" Issei said. "Kenshin over there!"

"?" Kenshin glanced over, seeing a colossal oriental dragon that was flying through the air. "...Heh, so the cavalry arrives. It just started with you two." Kenshin said with a smirk "Yu Long, Sun Wukong, glad you could make it!"

"Ahahaha! Wouldn't miss this, sonny." Sun Wukong laughed. "Say, that girl we talked about before, the one with the replicated version of my Ruyi Jingu Bang, is she on this battlefield?"

"Eh? You mean Ku Fei?" Kenshin asked. "Yeah...she's...oh fuck she's getting swarmed by Evil Dragons."

"Well, let me go give the lass a hand then. Yu Long, go raise some hell and we'll get a bite to eat later." Sun Wukong said. "I haven't taken a student in awhile. Hopefully she impresses more than that fool Bikou."

"Just remember you said that geezer." Yu Long said as Sun Wukong hopped on to his Jindouu Yuun, clenching his staff at the ready.

"Jeez you really pulled us out of bed for this. I really can't stand him even at this old age."

"Indeed indeed, that stupid guy Wukong, actually dragged our asses out of retirement."

The first to speak was a fat old man with a pig's head, and a bearded old monk with a necklace made of skulls around his neck. The two disembarked from Yu Long. The pig headed man spat a large fireball from his mouth, while the bearded old man used the seawater to make various beasts. "Oi? Why are you wasting power on those frozen false Sekiryuutei?" The pig headed old man asked.

"Because they may not be frozen forever." The bearded monk said.

"I don't know how well my bishop Evangeline will take that comment." Kenshin said making them turn to him.

"Actually Kenshin, keep getting rid of the fake Sekiryuutei. The first couple of times I used Endless White Nine Heavens, the battle was almost over immediately, but the spell runs on my mana and like I said it's taxing. Anyone taking the immobilized fakes out will be helping me tremendously." Evangeline said.

"Ah..." Kenshin waved the two old men off and pointed at the monk. "He has the right idea. Taking them out will help my Bishop actually." Kenshin then bowed forward a bit. "That said. I am sorry for pulling you out of retirement. I had only called Sun Wukong. Now I see what kept him."

"Well thanks for the show of respect sonny, but these two, Wujing and Bajie are also constantly complaining that they can't lose to these youngsters." Sun Wukong said. "Now if you'll excuse me."

"Oh?" Kenshin said with an interested look. "Well then...allow me to turn on the DISrespect. While Sun Wukong's helping one of my friends, let's see whatcha got you bearded cleaner geezer and you pig headed fat ass."

Zhu Bajie, the Cleaner of Altars and the first generation Sha Wujing, the golden bodied Arhat both smirked. "Well if you're asking. Just try not to slow us down brat!" Bajie and Wujing said respectively.

"Heh. Slow you down, don't slow me down you old geezers!" Kenshin said.

Kenshin, Wujing and Bajie rushed the crowd of Evil Dragons. Bajie sent creatures made of sea water to bind hundreds of Evil Dragons while Kenshin shot above them and held one of his dual blades out at his side, spinning, Shiroi Tengoku strapped to his side dispensing Katentou. "Heh, get a load of this altar cleaner!" Kenshin shouted. "Crimson Hurricane!"

(boom!)

Kenshin then turned his attention to Sha Wujing who was melting the fake Sekiryuutei army left and right with his flames. He crashed into the ice himself and started carving it to bits. He saw a fireball rushing him and reached forward with Senjutsu and catching it, throwing it into a crowd of frozen Sekiryuutei, obliterating them.

"Kenshin, what the hell's going on? The strain on my mana reserves is dropping like a rock." Evangeline said.

"Because we're wrecking shit over here." Kenshin said. "I'm teamed up with the first generation Sha Wujing."

"Teamed, is a strong word." Wujing said landing behind Kenshin.

"Actually it isn't." Evangeline said to where he could hear her. "At times like these Kenshin kind of sees teaming up as a competition."

"Oh really?" Wujing asked.

"Yeah, so shut up, because I'm working! !" Kenshin said as they separated.

Meanwhile, Ku Fei was getting swarmed by Evil Dragons when Sun Wukong's Ruyi Jingu Bang extended forward and blasted them all away. "E-Eh?" Ku Fei looked around.

"You looked like you were in trouble, so Kenshin asked me to give you a hand."

"E-Eh?" Ku Fei paused, her eyes turning into white dots, before looking at her artifact, Shinchintetsu Jizaikon, before pointing at him. "Hey, why do you have a copy of my artifact-aru? Did Negi give it to you through hers?"

Instead of bopping her on the head, Sun Wukong took a pull of his pipe and laughed. "If Kenshin hadn't already told me a bit about you. I'd have bopped you one, but no, it's actually the other way around Miss Fei. You're holding a copy of my Ruyi Jingu Bang."

"Your...Ruyi Jingu-" Ku Fei trailed off before remembering Kaede telling her that basically every mythology was real. She got in his face with wide, excited eyes. "Wait, you're THE Sun Wukong? ! From the Legend? Journey to the West? !"

"Haha! The very same!" Sun Wukong chuckled.

"Oh my god, Oh my god, aiyaaaahh! To think I'm meeting Sun Wukong himself in the flesh! Can I have your autograph? !" Ku Fei said.

Sun Wukong looked around, seeing more Evil Dragons charging in and gently pushed Ku Fei back. "All in due time lassie." Sun Wukong said. "Yu Long, take care of any riff raff that might hinder our support, our deals still on."

"Fine then. Though those two's complaints are unfounded. Seems they were itching to rage about." Yu Long said.

"Aaaah Shaddap!" Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie said.

"Alright, with that out of the way, I'll show you some tricks with our mutual weapon." Sun Wukong said, only to chuckle as Ku Fei gained stars in her eyes.

"I'm about to train under Sun Wukong himself! Please don't let me disappoint." Ku Fei thought as her eyes regained focus. "S-Sorry Wukong-roshi...I'm just...excited is all-aru."

"Hahahaha, don't worry about it lass!" Sun Wukong chuckled.

"Also is that dragon rea-..." Ku Fei shook her head. "No No, don't tell me. If that's Yu Long I'm gonna seriously freak and I don't need to be freaking out right now."

"Very well. I'll introduce you to my dragon later." Sun Wukong said. "Now then, back to these bastards."

"Right-aru!" Ku Fei said.

"Take your staff and point the offensive point forward." Sun Wukong said. Ku Fei nodded and did so. "Now line it with your ki. I imagine since you act as a martial artist you don't have any mana control, that's fine. That can be worked on later." Sun Wukong said tapping his Ruyi Jingu Bang. "And don't enlarge it. It can be powerful against massive enemies, but what I'm teaching you will suffice for crowds like this."

"Right-aru!" The two stood together with fierce looks on their faces. "Shinchintetsu Jizaikon/Ruyi Jingu Bang, Extend!"

Their two staffs extended into the crowd of Evil Dragons. "You go right, I'll go left!" Sun Wukong said. "Strengthen and focus your ki!"

"On it-aru!" Ku Fei said as they slashed at their right and left respectively. However, while Sun Wukong had obliterated his side, Ku Fei's ki attack had left more than a few stragglers. Which all began to breathe fire at her, as she gasped for breath. "!" She closed her eyes, expecting the worst when she felt a strong presence appear in front of her.

"Now now, I can't have you all killing someone I'm considering giving my actual Ruyi Jingu Bang to."

"!" Ku Fei looked up, seeing Sun Wukong in front of her. "Wukong-roshi!"

"Don't worry about me lassie." Sun Wukong smiled before turning to the massive stream of fire roared toward them. "Oh Heavenly path, come down with a clap of thunder through the jaws of a dragon and lay upon the land."

Sun Wukong slammed his staff on the ground in front of him and Ku Fei and suddenly all the flames were dissipated in an instant. "? !" Ku Fei's eyes widened in shock. "A...Amazing..." Ku Fei said, her voice hitched in her throat.

(Shhhhhwing!)

Sun Wukong held out a finger as the True Longinus shot toward him. "Really Cao Cao? Again?" Sun Wukong said with a smirk.

"Aahh...I had to try at least once." Cao Cao said before glancing at Ku Fei. "What's up with her?"

"She's a chinawoman from Kenshin's world that ours merged into. " Sun Wukong said. "Come to think of it, she might like Kenshin, but couldn't you use a friend from China?"

Cao Cao scowled. "Don't bring that up...after I met you and you summoned the original Cao Cao to me. My parents sold me off...before it could take...I ran off with the spear had awakened half a year prior, being chased down by my fellow humans, human traffickers and wild animals. You wanna know why I became the poison you labeled me as...well there you...fucking go."

"Wait, he called you Cao Cao?" Ku Fei said, snapping out of her daze.

"Uhm, yes?" Cao Cao said, his one uncovered eye blinking.

"As in-" Cao Cao held his hand up.

"I am descended from him, but my real name isn't Cao Cao." He explained. "I discarded it a long time ago. You could say I took up the name Cao Cao as a way to honor my ancestor."

"Why did you renounce your name-aru? Were you dishonored?" Ku Fei asked.

Cao Cao shook his head. "That's a story for another time."

"Yeah I guess so-aru." Ku Fei said. "Still if you wanna talk about it, I'll lend you an ear." Ku Fei said with a smile. "I've only ever had my family, and my friends from Mahora, but it was kind of hard transitioning from China to Japan, especially after getting kidnapped by the Triads-aru."

"!" Cao Cao turned to her with a wide eye. "By the Triads? Those despicable bastards? !"

"Yeah...I'd still be there if Kenshin hadn't saved me along with his sisters." Ku Fei said with a blushing smile.

"..." Cao Cao closed his eye with a smile. "Seems we've led similar lives Fei Ku." He thought using the chinese pronunciation for her name. "You know what?" Cao Cao said making Ku Fei look over at him. "I actually wouldn't mind having a friend from China." Cao Cao said. "We'll talk later, there's work to be done."

"Right-aru!" Ku Fei as she and Cao Cao readied Shinchintetsu Jizaikon and the True Longinus and dove into the fray of Evil Dragons approaching them. "Hey, that's a nice spear you got there-arune! And what's with those seven orbs around you."

"Hahaha, it would take too much time to explain, just know this is one of the ultimate weapons in existence!" Cao Cao laughed.

Sun Wukong watched with a smile as Cao Cao and Ku Fei dove into the fray of Evil Dragons. "She seems like a nice girl. She may be enamored with Kenshin boyo, but I can tell she's good at making friends, and outside of the Hero Faction Cao-boyo. You don't really have any."

"Hey." Cao Cao said to Ku Fei as they battled the Evil Dragons. "I may have to split up to help fight the beast."

"Thanks for the heads up." Ku Fei said swatting Evil Dragons away with her before leaping above them. "Extend!" Ku Fei shouted running the Evil Dragons through the chest with the sheer velocity of it's extension. "What Wukong-Roshi taught me about this thing really works. Then again when it comes to martial arts, I've always been a fast learner." She grinned. "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine-aruka!"

"Heheh." Cao Cao chuckled.

At the same time Sun Wukong cut in front of Kenshin after he cut down another Evil Dragon. "Take a break sonny. Let me enjoy a little rampage with my old friends." Sun Wukong said.

"Heh. Who am I to deny such a thing." Kenshin held his hand out. "Go have some fun."

"Wujing, Bajie, on me! Leave the armies to Kenshin's forces!" Sun Wukong said darting toward Trihexa.

"And trust me, our forces got this." Kenshin said with a smirk. "Rampage to your hearts delight!"

"They will not."

"? !" Kenshin and Sun Wukong looked over, seeing a boy with clothing resembling a lotus flower, flying up in the air. He stood upon a wheel which sprayed out flames, while he held a long blazing spear in his hand. The boy released a holy aura, as he calmly spoke to the three first generations and Yu Long..

"Wukong, Wujin, Bajie, Yu Long, you need to know when it's time to stop messing around. The world is facing a crisis right now. Wukong, I know you think that Fei girl is worthy of your staff, but she isn't ready yet and you two, Wujing, Bajie. How could you let yourselves be mocked by this child of a dragon."

"Child of a dragon?" Kenshin leaped up to the boy's level, scowling at him. "Excuse you, but I've been leading this charge alongside Dulio, hell even Raynare, a former low ranked fallen angel has been leading the Fallen Angels for the time being!"

"What? You are young, Dragon of the Elements, these elders should know some restraint." The boy said as Sun Wukong, Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie dove into the fray, attacking both Trihexa and the Evil Dragons.

"I see. That's what you meant." Kenshin said with a nod. "Who are you anyway?"

"The Nezha Prince. Xuanzang" Kenshin turned to see Cao Cao approaching.

"Cao Cao? Is Ku-"

"She's fine, The Prince's armies came to help. Even the original Xuanzang's disciples came." Cao Cao said. "As they are Mount Meru's fighting force, I told them all they could trust her and came here."

Wave after wave of Evil Dragons surged forth, it was becoming overwhelming. Apophis had returned to Trihexa's shoulder. "Damn it! Some of these bastards are beginning to look a lot like Grendel and Ladon." Kenshin seethed. "We have to do something about that Holy Grail Apophis is holding. Otherwise he'll just wear us all down with limitless numbers." Kenshin said.

However while the Trihexa forces were being reinforced, so to were the forces of DxD, Heaven, the Underworld, Makai and Mount Meru as multiple Grendels were smacked into the ocean by someone wearing the armor of a lion.

"Sairaorg-San!" Issei said.

"Sairaorg!" Rias said.

"Why am I not surprised that you gave my advice the middle finger." Kenshin said with a calm smirk. "Oh right, because I fucking knew you would."

Sairaorg stood in his Balance Breaker, his peerage at his back. "Move out! !" Sairaorg said before turning to Kenshin. "Would you have listened to me, if the roles were reversed?"

"Heh." Kenshin reached over and bumped fists with Sairaorg. "No, I guess I wouldn't have...!"

"Heh." Sairaorg smiled as they both split apart as a massive holy aura shot by them, slicing through Evil Dragons like butter, even the Ladon clones spread out among them, their barriers folding like laundry before his blade.

This man was unmistakably human but he sent an Evil Dragon flying with a mere kick, He was old but ripped like a bodybuilder. He also wielded a copy of Durandal.

"I was wondering who was causing all this ruckus, if it isn't the Sekiryuutei brat...and Dragon of the Elements! Taking a page out of my book I see?"

In front of them, was the previous wielder of Durandal, Vasco Strada.

"Your Eminence Strada! Even you also came? !" Issei said.

"I'm trusting those under me, while keeping my eyes on the big one." Kenshin said.

Vasco nodded. "The mark of a good leader." He slapped a hand on Kenshin's shoulder. "A fine tactic, you are one of the strongest here, so you should throw your power at their strongest if needed. If not, well it may be boring to wipe out and arrest fodder, but still a duty that needs handling."

"Oh no, don't get me wrong, I got my licks in here and there." Kenshin said.

"Hahaha." Vasco chuckled. "Can't keep a dragon waiting in the wings for long." Vasco said. "Well then, allow this old man to get the bones loose then." He pulled out a replica of Durandal and split a copy of Grendel in two. The church warriors accompanying him followed him into the fray. Rossweisse appeared next to Kenshin, still preparing the restraining barrier, but she had an anguished expression on her face. "Rossweisse/Rose?" Issei and Kenshin both said.

"...Haaa...the preparations for the technique are ready, but we have to decrease our distance from Trihexa for it to work, and there's still Apophis to consider." Rossweisse said.

"Yeah, since his last attempt at attack, he returned to Trihexa's head, and he has Valerie's last Holy Grail." Issei said.

"Grhh..." Kenshin growled. "It was a hopeful gambit, but I can't conserve my power any longer." Kenshin said. "Leave Apophis to me, Issei, get Rose to Trihexa."

"R-Righ-"

"Now now, I think you're being a little too hasty."

Issei, Rossweisse and Kenshin turned to find Cao Cao flying up to them on one of his Balance Breakers orbs. "I see what they say about you Kenshin. You may be powerful, but you are way too eager to throw yourself into battle when you don't need to." Cao Cao said.

"Well then what do you suggest descendant of the Wei kingdom?" Kenshin said.

"Funny you should say that, I told your student over there, but my name isn't actually Cao Cao." He said.

"?" Kenshin, Rossweisse and Issei all narrowed their eyes in confusion. "Then what is your name?"

"I don't know anymore and I don't care to know." Cao Cao tapped his spear against his shoulder. "This is hardly the time or place to regale in such a tale. Let's talk about it later, preferably over some sake, Kenshin." Cao Cao said.

"Heh, you're payin- nah you know what, since you'd be divulging your past, I'll foot the bill." Kenshin said.

"Hahaha. You're too kind." Cao Cao said. "Now let's focus. I'll clear the way."

"By yourself?" Issei asked.

"That's madness!" Rossweisse said.

"No, it's not..." Kenshin said looking over at Cao Cao. "Truth Idea, that's the play here?"

"Aah, so you know what I'm about to do. How interesting." Cao Cao said as he spun the True Longinus.

"Wait, but what if it backfires on you like it did against me? !" Issei said.

"It won't!" The three turned to Kenshin. "Issei the only reason it backfired on him last time is because your idea was more peaceful than his. Trihexa is threatening not only us, Cao Cao and him, but his entire creation. Truth Idea will side with Cao Cao this time!"

"Kenshin...?" Issei said.

Kenshin grabbed his head. "Wait...where did that come from? It's like that information was injected into my mind and soul." He shook his head. "Fuck it, it doesn't matter!" Kenshin turned to Issei. "Cao Cao will clear the way, when he does, hit Apophis with every last thing you got! This is our home he's threatening, show him what it means to fuck with the Sekiryuutei!"

"Right!/Right!" Issei and Ddraig shout.

"Aah, an added bonus I'm sliding into this, I'll also be targeting Apophis, so have those vampires on standby to claim that last Sephiroth Graal." Cao Cao said.

"Hrm." Kenshin nodded. "I know it must be exhausting Cao Cao, but thank you." He hardened his gaze. "So we go in with a three pronged attack. Cao Cao first, Issei second and Rose and I third."

"You and me?" Rossweisse said.

Kenshin smiled. "Yeah Rose, I got your back." Kenshin said before looked over at Cao Cao. "NOW!"

"O Spear, the true Holy Spear which pierces through God! Absorb the Ambition of the King of Domination sleeping within me, and pierce through the gap of blessing and destruction, thou, announce the will and turn into light!" Cao Cao chanted.

The ring of light behind Cao Cao shone brightly and the aura that surrounded the Holy Spear increased until it's limit."Hrh!" Kenshin's eyes glew, casting Yume Shouheki to shield the Devil forces from the light.

"Truth Idea! !" Cao Cao roared.

Holy waves were being released by the spear, which spread across the entire sky.

"Ehng...what is this?" Evangeline said shielding her eyes.

"This...the mana of God himself." Irina said bringing her hands together in a joyous prayer.

"Wait, why are they running away?" Akatama, Inutora, Bureijin and Jordan all said as the Evil Dragons all retreated as if scared.

"Interesting." Mana said.

"Well if you're going to run from me, I'll come after you!" Yuuna said, rushing the retreating dragons with her guns at the ready.

"Go ahead Akashi, I'll provide cover fire!" Mana said.

"Right, thanks Mana!" Yuuna said

"Aaaagggghh!" Apophis cried out as the Holy Grail slipped from his fingers as pain wracked his body. "This is...the God of the Bible's authority! If this continues I might even be deprived of my consciousness!"

Apophis fled from Trihexa's body. "Looks like the will in this spear has responded to me this time. Well, get in there, it's your turn now." Cao Cao said.

"Right!" Kenshin, Issei and Rossweisse said taking off for Trihexa. "Issei, you go and subdue Apophis, I can't imagine he's feeling too good after that." Kenshin said. "I'll protect Rose."

"Right!" Issei said taking off toward Apophis.

"Valerie, Gasper! On Me! The last Holy Grail can be acquired right now!" Kenshin roared. "Yukari, Miyuki, Chachamaru cover them!"

"Right!" Yukari and Miyuki said hacking and tearing apart any evil dragon in their way with their swords or claws.

"As you wish." Chachamaru said. "Ai Iskandriya! Fire to Kill!" Chahchamaru yelled.

Multiple lasers fell from the sky obliterating numerous Evil Dragons. "Rose, let's go!" Kenshin said.

"Right!" Rossweisse said, holding her hands out in front of Kenshin crossing her legs around his waist for stability, keeping the formula active. A magic circle appeared in front of Trihexa. "Get me to that magic circle! I'll be able to paralyze Trihexa, so we can seal him!"

"Right! Leave the flying to me Rose!" Kenshin said with a smile. "Hang on tight!" Kenshin said as he took off at a blistering pace. Rossweisse tightened her legs grip around Kenshin's waist, while bracing herself against the velocity of Kenshin's speed.

"How do you handle this? !" Rossweisse said.

"Honestly, my body just got used to it after awhile. Now, we're coming in on the circle Rose, get ready!" Kenshin said.

"Right!" Rossweisse extended her hand toward the massive magic circle she had created in front of Trihexa. She reached out and touched it, shouting. "I'm stopping Trihexa!"

"!" Kenshin's eyes widened as the barrier Rossweisse had prepared had activated. The next instant, an unknown energy field had covered the entire area. Many Barrier magic circles then appeared all over Trihexa's body as it cried out in pain. The barrier magic circles unfolded one after the other, and Trihexa was trapped underneath several layers. "Is...Is it..." Kenshin said

Trihexa didn't budge after the barrier magics fully sank in.

"SUUCCCCCEEESSSSS!" The entire combined force erupted in cheers, but a green glow erupted from the Youkai's side.

"What exactly did we succeed in? That barrier's only paralyzing that beast." Kanon said rising from her flower bed. "Sisters, Heavenly Knights, Cardinals, let us eliminate the stragglers."

"She's right, get moving!" Tamamo and Yasaka shouted at the Youkai Faction.

"Right!" Raynare pointed her red spear of light forward.

"Well, we gotta keep up, get in there." Dulio said.

Kenshin moved behind Rossweisse and hugged her from behind. "K-Kenshin?" She asked.

"I'm supplementing you with my power, just focus on keeping Trihexa bound." Kenshin said.

"Hmn...I see...still this is nice." She said with a soft smile. "It reminds me of the time we spent in Mundus Magicus in a romantic way."

"Hmn. Glad to hear it." Kenshin said before turning to the approaching Valerie and Gasper. "Issei's fighting Apophis. Rose and I will fuel the barrier spell keeping Trihexa paralyzed, now's your chance! The Final Holy Grail is still by Trihexa's head!"

"Right!" Valerie and Gasper both rushed forward but multiple clones of Grendel and Ladon surged forth.

"Allow us."

A pair of feminine figures shot by and kicked and punched and kicked and punched with all the grace of master martial artists. "Leave these to us Valerie-Chan, Gapser-kun."

"Like we're gonna let these beasts end our fun."

"Alma? Minagi? !" Kenshin said through a communication circle.

"Keep fueling that barrier. My sisters are having fun elsewhere." Minagi said,

Kenshin nodded. "Alright." Kenshin said before turning back to Trihexa. He opened up another communication circle. "Tamamo, come to where I am, rebind the Malak Seal."

"Kenshin, are you sure?" Tamamo said.

"Yeah. Tell the sealing corps to get up here as well and help Roseweisse." Kenshin said. "We can end this now. I didn't act on the battlefield that much, but when I did, I gave it more than my everything. I don't need to be locking up here."

"Alright. Sealing Corps on me!" Tamamo said.

Tamamo appeared behind Kenshin as various youkai, angels, fallen angels and devils moved around the paralyzed Trihexa. Tamamo placed her hand on Kenshin's back and formed a handsign after Kenshin let Rossweisse go and backed away.

"Nngh!" Kenshin lurched forward as his right eye returned to it's original blue hue.

"Kenshin!" Rossweisse said glancing back at him.

"Don't worry about me. Focus on the seal. I'm fine." Kenshin said. Tamamo moved to help the sealing corps.

(Clench)

"Huh?" Tamamo looked down, seeing one of Kenshin's hands clenching her wrist. "Kenshin."

"Stay. Heal me if you can." Kenshin said.

"Kenshin, Trihexa is immobilized. What's wrong." Tamamo asked.

"Krh..." Kenshin growled. "Just stand by me Tamamo. I can't...I can't get rid of this itching feeling." Kenshin said. "Until Trihexa's resealing is confirmed, please stay here."

"..." Tamamo looked at Kenshin. "I see...he needs immediate confirmation that it's over. No...He himself NEEDS this to be over. He's been fighting since he was ten years old and he's tired." Tamamo reached over and gripped his hand with a smile.

"!" Kenshin glanced at Tamamo with wide eyes, but his eyes widened even further when Tamamo kissed him on the cheek.

"It's going to be OK Kenshin." Tamamo said. "If something goes wrong, I'll immediately release the Malak Seal again."

"Thank you." Kenshin said casting Tamamo an honest smile. "I know it worries you and the others, but...I..."

"We get it, once this is over, you can finally move into the life of peace you've always wanted." Tamamo said. "And don't forget." She paused again to wink at him. "You promised me Mao. I'm not letting you weasel your way out of that~! Our daughter or son will be born." She said licking his cheek.

"...R-Right!" Kenshin said cupping the cheek Tamamo had licked with a smile. "Thanks, Tamamo, everyone. I'll do everything I can to protect us all, but I'll ALSO do everything to get back to you all!" He kept his eyes on the paralyzed Trihexa. "We will win this battle Trihexa!" Kenshin thought

(chapter end)

Draconis: I'm sorry.

Kenshin: Dude stop it. You've been going through it lately.

Yukari: Drac, he's right, you're bei-

Draconis: Wha? Are you talking about me getting employed again, nah that's going as well as can be expected. It's just this chapter took FOREVER! Volume 21 is beefy as fuck, and 21-4 seems to display more of the same, I'm just feeling overwhelmed is all. I'll be fine, It may seem like I'm taking a break but I'm not.

Kenshin: Ah, I see. You've not been taking a break, but instead, wracking your brain.

Draconis: I know Vali's backstory and the fights against Apophis and Azi Dahaka and Trihexa's sealing need justice but I want out of this volume. I have to make sure the introduced characters get their time to shine, but I gotta make sure the characters I brought in get theirs too, otherwise why are they here?

Anyway...
