A couple of days had passed from Issei's trip through the dimensional gap. The morning had fast approached as Issei rolled over expecting to get a face full of Rias. But he was greeted by a long fiber that traveled up his nose and irritating him. When he opened his eyes he found himself all contorted on the floor next to the bed.
As he stood up he looked at the bed seeing what he suspected the culprit was. Xenovia was laying where Issei would have been with her top fully exposed and only wearing blue underwear. Next to her was Irina and Asia wearing white pajamas as it must have been a church thing as they wore them every night. Even Akeno and Koneko were on the bed but the odd one was Ophis wearing black pajamas sleeping on the bed.
A knock on the door was heard as a voice came through "Lord Issei, Rias, Asia. Are you awake?"
Issei looked again hearing the voice as he looked again seeing that Ravel wasn't on the bed. "Yeah." He said.
The door opened as Ravel came in and looked around "It looks as if something amazing happened last night."
"I don't remember anything happening last night." Issei looked over to Ravel seeing her amazement.
Rustling in the bed was heard by the two of them as Rias sat up in the bed. Rias looked over in the bed seeing all of the girls laying there. "Seems like something happened last night." Rias said as the two of them were looking at their servants.
"Rias did you inform everyone that it's almost time for magician pacts. And the thing with the Vampires?" Ravel said
Issei had yet to hear about both of those "Yeah talking about those are on the menu." Rias watched as Issei leaned over the bed. "I trust you will be helping Ise with his?"
Ravel smiled "Yes, I already have plans laid out for it."
"Good, now we just need to wake everyone up." Rias watched Issei poking Xenovia in the face.
"Hey" Issei moved his hand moved to her breast as he groped it.
Xenovia felt the hand on her as she opened her eyes seeing Issei. "You want to make babies with me this early in the morning?
Issei shook his head. "No, I want to wake up on my bed, not on the floor because of you."
"Come on let's get everybody up and go get some food." Rias said as she pushed on Akeno.
The door to the bedroom opened up "Hello Nyaa"
Issei looked over and saw Kuroka in the doorway. "Kuroka why are you here." Rias was shocked to see Kuroka and a magician with a pointy hat.
Kuroka waved her hand "The boys aren't here."
"Sister… why are you here?" Koneko peeked her head out from the sheets.
"Silly kitten I'm here to teach you some Jutsu. If only you were more grateful for the help I'm giving you. Also, I took one of the empty rooms and dropped off all my stuff."
Out from behind Kuroka and Magicians hat appeared as Le Fay as she put her hand up "If it's no trouble I know that it's time for you to negotiate with magicians. I was wondering if I could stay here as an advisor of sorts."
"Trouble or not why are the two of you here? This is the base of your enemy." Rias mention.
Kuroka walked over towards Rias as she patted her on the head. "Your thinking too hard Swi. That must be why your breasts were shooting energy instead of it going to your head." Kuroka moved her hands down as she bounced Rias' breasts a few times.
Rias batted Kuroka's hands away "None of that is your business. More importantly, you marked our home when you were last here."
Kuroka fluttered back to the doorway "I did and thanks to that I can come here right away. I can use the big bathtub in this house at any time. A girl has to keep her appearances up you should know that."
Le Fay handed a letter to Issei "It's from the former Governor Azazel."
Issei looked at it 'Kuroka and Le Fay will be showing up at your home sometime, so look after them. They will only be minor annoyances at best so let them be.' Issei looked at Rias "There's a reason why Azazel, not the leader anymore."
Rias laid back down on the bed "Fine you can stay. But if something happens then you will be assisting us."
A few hours passed as Issei was drifting in his mind as they were sitting around in school. It was odd being alone in his mind for the first time in his life. A smile crept on his face as he was looking out the wind till he felt something collide with his head. Popping out of his mind he turned around to see Mathsuda and Motohama standing there as their bodies were shaking in anger. "I hear your get along with Ravel Phoenix in the first year, Mind explaining?"
Issei thought about it for a moment. "Oh yeah. I knew her before she transferred to this school. Her family asked me to keep an eye on her, and out of the hands of people like you."
"Her parents know about it!" They yelled "You're no better than we are why do you get to hang out with all the beauties like Asia Rias and even Himejima. Let alone Konkeo Xenovia and Irina. And now Ravel, you get all the Idols and Madonna's" The two of them intertwined as if their brains were linked as one.
"Can you two stop it already? At the rate, you're going the two of you are never going to be benchwarmers." A female called out as Kiryuu was looking unenthused seeing them bicker. She looked at Issei "I know this is the wrong thing for me to say, but it's odd that the beauties fall for the weird one. And it looks like they are attracted to Hyoudou."
Motohama and Matsuda grabbed onto Issei as they shook him violently for a human, but nothing that would harm him. "It's not fair why you!"
"Calm down, Hyoudou must have done something to make those ladies pay attention to him." Kiryuu said as all eyes were on him by now.
"Maybe We can get a blessing from god for them." Xenovia said looking sad for the two.
"I'll talk to Michael to see if they are blessable."
"Would the two of you attend mass this weekend? Prayer will help the sadness go away." Asia mentioned.
Issei watched this display as if they had forgotten that they were devils now. But they were special in many different ways. "By the way Hyoudou." Kiryuu had a massive grin on her face as she looked at him "Is the rumor true?"
He looked at her as he didn't know what rumor she was referring to as there were "Gonna need to be specific there's plenty that roams the halls. My favorite one that says I have sex with all the first-year girls. Do you know how absurd that is? What about the one where Katase and Murayama are my sex slaves? See how dumb that one sounds as well?"
Said girls were glaring daggers at him as he pointed at Motohama and Matsuda. Kiryuu sighed "I'm talking about the one where you address Rias with no formalities."
Now there were even more daggers at his throat. "We must know." The girls in the class chanted.
"Did the seven pillars of wisdom light the way?" They were all confused not understanding the reference as the Church trio understood it after a moment. "Is Amaterasu a Shinto god?"
A few yes's were heard "Are you wearing pink panties?" He looked at Kiryuu as he didn't get an answer out of her. "Is the Pope Catholic?"
"Of course he is!" Irina said as a wide smile came across his face.
A ruckus broke out in the class as they got their answer. Issei curled his finger telling Kiryuu to come close. She did as such as he cupped his hand around her right ear as everyone was making noise. "Do you want to become a devil?" Issei left her hanging with that Question
After School, everyone was gathered in the clubroom as there was little to no light in the room. From the top of the room, Rias stood up from her desk. "Everyone, today is the day when we begin thinking about making pacts with magicians. There are three main reasons why a magician makes a pact with a devil. First is a bodyguard, as we know the supernatural world is not that safe, and having a devil backing you up makes things safer. Second magicians make pacts with devils because they want to obtain techniques and knowledge of devils. That Knowledge can be used to help them with their research." Everybody was following along so far. "And lastly the most simple thing. Magicians make pacts with devils for their status."
Xenovia was thinking about what she just heard "Never thought that a magician would be able to summon me. Life gets weirder when you think about it. "
"It's odd at first but there are some things you also need to know. You need to pick carefully when you make your choice. You want the magician to perform and you need to as well. You don't want it to reflect poorly on you, and breaking a pact is extremely hard to do so make it count."
Koneko moved off Issei's lap as she pinched his legs. "Your thinking about pervert things with your magician."
The room lit up as a magic circle appeared on the table projecting a light. As the light dimmed Kiba saw the magic circle "That's the symbol of Mephisto Pheles."
An older man was sitting in a chair as he had a mix of red and blue hair that was held together. Matching his hair his right eye was red and the left one was blue. Rias it's been a while.
Rias smiled "It has been awhile Mephisto Pheles."
Mephisto laughed Just like your mother and grandmother. Beautiful and nice to talk to.
"Thank you." Rias looked at everyone "The man you see here is an Extra Demon and the chairman of the magic association Mephisto Pheles."
He looked around at the group of devils "'Mephisto Pheles if you want information about me please read books written about me. They're all true and a wealth of knowledge."
Ravel whispered in Issei's ear "He made a pact with Georg Faust and made his way to the top of the association. He's from the same generation as the first Maou."
"Mephisto Pheles is one of the oldest devils who spends his time in the human world. He's also Tannin's King."
Ah yes Tannin, I gave him my Queen piece to him. He came to me and said he wanted to save his tribe. And because I don't involve myself with the affairs of the underworld I let Tannin do whatever he wants. He heard Ravel's comment. I hate the Original Maou, they are part of the reason why I stayed on Earth. SirZechs and Serafall are nice kids much better than the first ones. He turned to look at Rias Tell me Rias how is your family? Are your grandparents doing well?
Rias nodded "They live in the Gremory territory. Have you spoken to Sona yet?"
He shook his head Nope, she is right after you. She getting some new servants so she wanted you to go ahead of her. I have already spoken to Saiaorg Bael and Seekvaira Agares."
"So Sona is getting new servants. She mentioned it but nothing was set in stone yet." Rias pondered as everybody else was shocked to hear that Sona was taking on new servants.
Anyways, the Rookie Four are very popular in the magician community. It's so exciting to see a generation with some promising levels of talent. Did you know that this is extremely rare to have 4 groups this promising?
"Rookie Four is the title they gave the four of them devils who were the prominent ones of the rating games." Ravel kept explaining things to Issei that he wasn't aware of.
The main door to the room opened up "Sorry about that meetings ran long." It was Azazel as he looked up seeing Malphesto. "Oh, Mephisto."
His chair turned around as he looked towards Azazel and waved at him. " Hey Azazel, I'm starting with Rias first."
"You uh wanna go drinking sometime soon? I got ahold of some real good old stuff."
Maybe… our schedules are jampacked. Mephisto turned back towards the group Sorry about that Rias, I'll begin sending the data over now. He swirled his finger as another magic circle was made as papers began flying out. Kiba and Akeno swooped in and started grabbing the papers as it quickly turned into a mountain of papers. Everyone else started moving the papers around.
"This is more akin to a job hunt." Rossweisse said as she was moving papers around.
Your not wrong. Rias is the King of the Gremory group therefore everybody is looking to make a pact with her.
Azazel took a seat in the corner of the room "That makes whoever her pick an important choice.
The papers stopped for a moment as the room was filled with them. Next on the demand list is… More papers flew out Rossweisse the Valkyrie rook, the information about Yggdrasil is clearly the intent but the magical rook is a great thing to look at.
"A Valkyrie who is a devil isn't rare. It's a statistical anomaly." Azazel said from the corner.
The papers swapped again as Asia was called up as the third most requested. Another mountain of papers flew out as Issei looked over to Asia. "You think you're going to be alright with that many papers?"
Having the ability to heal is a coveted skill in any regard. Making a pact with someone who is blessed with the power of healing is a fast way to climb the fame ladders.
"You going to be okay with all of these Asia? Don't need you getting caught up in somebody who's going to take advantage of you." Issei was worried about her seeing all of the papers.
Dont worry about it, we screen all of the applications. The association sorts out magicians who we feel would try something like that so you should be fine.
"Akeno and I will be helping her pick her pact." Rias tried to reassure him.
After Asia's papers were finished there were a lot fewer papers for the rest of them. It followed Issei, Kiba, Akeno, Xenoviaa, Koneko, and Gasper rounding up the bottom.
"Well, the top three were predictable. A pureblood a Valkrie spell slinger rook and a healer. Only a hand full will be exceptional." Azazel wasn't surprised seeing the magician stats.
Mephisto laughed hearing that Most of them are small fry in the long run. The fact that the Red Dragon isn't as popular with the mages but is with devils is a weird trend. Maybe they don't care about popularity as much?
"That's fine, there's probably some who want to know about the Greek magics." Issei said getting Mephisto's attention.
It's possible if it isn't based on blood. Anyway, I've sent over all of the information so you can make contact with anybody who lives up to your standards. Mephisto eyes caught onto a Ravel Excuse me miss, would you happen to be from the Phoenix clan?
Ravel turned and looked at him setting the papers down "Yes sir, my name is Ravel Phoenix."
Mephisto thought about something for a moment What I'm about to say is classified right now. Only a few people know of this right now. But there is a group of Stray Magicians that have joined forces with the Mages of the Khaos Brigade. And with their combined effort they have been making contacts with those insides of House Phoenix.
"That's quite an ominous statement." Rias said not knowing how to process it.
"What do mean by all of this?" Ravel knew she needed more information.
You are aware that the Phoenix tears have been in circulation in the hands of terrorists correct?
Ravel nodded hearing that "We are aware that one of the distributors was making deals in secret and has been dealt with. As of now, I've heard that everything in order."
Mephisto shook his head No the black market has tears that aren't produced by House Phoenix.
"If it isn't genuine then there should be no effect unless the fake ones…." The wheels clicked for Rias.
Bingo. The tears they are selling have an effect close to the real deal. He held his hand out as there was a bottle in his hand that looked just like the phoenix tear. I don't know how they are doing it but they are. We got ahold of this and I have a feeling that you might be a target of whoever is behind this.
Ravel didn't say anything as she had a gloomy face hearing that "I'll have the Grigori look into whatever this is. But I doubt you need to worry about her Mephisto. She already has her Prince."
There's also talk of remnants banding together. But that's a topic for later, for now, I leave my magicians to you. Make a good pack with somebody. Mephisto waved as his image disappeared.
After a few nights, Azazel was watching a spar between Issei and Kiba. Issei was only able to tap into his regular balance breaker. The spars were swinging towards Kiba's favor as Issei was able to only access his basic Balance Breaker while Kiba was using his new swords. "Gram is just as difficult to use as I thought it would be."
"It's difficult to use?" Issei asked.
"Just swinging the blade drains a lot of my stamina and my demonic power. In a single battle overuse of it could drain so much that it could cut into my life force." Kiba looked at the large red blade "The Demonic Emperor Sword title fits it well."
"Is that the reason why he didn't use it that much?"
Kiba nodded "Most likely, his dragon based sacred gear could be part of it. It feels as if you need to be determined to use it. It's the same type of weapon that Xenovia would use, but I have to use it in the same manner as she would."
"So what about the other swords."
"They are all nice swords. But they are all demonic items and have some form of curse on them. Might be why Siegfried fought as he did, he might have been cursed or something along those lines." Kiba put Gram away "Xenovia is finally learning how to use the technique type abilities so it's nice to have a sword opponent."
Swords clashing in the distance were heard as they stopped for a moment as they heard footsteps running towards them. "Iseeeee" They heard Irina call out to him when he looked over and saw Irina collide with him. As Irina latched on to him she saw that she was making a pouting face as she spoke "I'm a real Angel right Ise?"
"What's going on?" Issei asked as he was recovering from the impact.
"Xenovia keeps calling me a self-proclaimed angel. And because you're my childhood friend you will understand that I'm a real angel." Irina looked at him with puppy dog eyes.
"I don't know, let's see your wings." Issei told her.
Out of her back popped out her pure white wings "Well?" She asked as she felt a hand squeeze on her ass as she cried out "Eeeekkkk." Her wings flashed black for a moment as they returned to white as they retracted.
"Keep your impure thoughts in check, and you will always be an angel." He reassured her.
"Self-proclaimed childhood friend angel!" Xenovia was heard shouting as she got close to them.
Irina stood up and looked at Xenovia "Look at you self-proclaimed swordswoman. Your brain is mostly muscle as it cant store anything."
Kiba leaned over to Issei as he spoke quietly so they wouldn't hear him over his argument. "Wasn't it Irina who spent all of their money when they came to Kuoh?" Issei got a chucked out of it as he put a finger up to his mouth for silence as he gave a quick nod. Looking up into the sky it was nothing but purple as it stretched what looked on forever. Just a small gift to them from the Satans so they could train in a secluded location.
Walking towards them Asia called out to them "Is everyone down with their training?"
Issei looked over, seeing Asia and Ophis with Rassei sitting atop Ophis's head. "Yeah, we are done training for the day."
"I have been teaching Asia the way to socialize with Dragons." Ophis said, confusing Issei.
"Azazel told me that summoning magic might suit me so I asked Ophis to teach me how to socialize with dragons." Asia clarified.
Irina ran over to Ophis as she started stroking the back of Rassei "Making monsters obey you is extremely hard as they are going to want something."
Asia nodded "I've read up on the rules for Rating games. So I need to find a balance in how powerful they are so I can maximize their usage."
"You already have a potentially strong familiar, but it is quite young." Issei looked at the rowdy blue little dragon atop Ophis's head.
"I asked Rossweisse about summoning magic just in case but I haven't made any results yet." Asia was slightly downtrodden about that.
Issei looked down at his right hand seeing three symbols on them as he looked back up at Asia "Just a little bit of hard work will get you there in no time."
Feeling a smooth hand slide down Issei's face "I need your help Red." It was Kuroka as she grabbed ahold of his hand and pulled it in between her breasts.
"Okay…." Issei said as she teleported them to where Koneko and Gasper were. The two of them were sitting in silence. He felt his hand descend into the cavern between her breasts.
"Stay away from Ise!" Koneko called out.
"You fail Nya!" Kuroka pulled Issei's hand out and smacked her over the head. "If you can tell I'm playing with him then you're not trying hard enough to channel your Ki."
"...yes…" Koneko knew Kuroka was right as it was a test to see she was applying what she was learning.
As Koneko went back to her meditation Issei turned Kuroka around so her back was facing them. He pulled the top of her kimono open so he could slip his hand in and get an unaltered feel of her breasts. It was silky smooth and firm on part with Rias and Akeno. "Like what your feeling?" Kuroka whispered into his ear.
Issei nodded as he got into her ear as well. "I do I do. If you weren't a criminal I would give you the same treatment as my other girls. Maybe even a threesome with your sister." He pulled his hand out of her kimono and redressed it.
He spun her around and stroked her tails as he walked away. "Nya?" Kuroka looked at him as she thought about some things as her focus turned back to Koneko and Gasper.
Issei moved over to where Rias and Akeno were training. When he reached then he saw Akeno standing a few feet away from Rias as she was channeling power. Issei wrapped his arm around Akeno's waist as she leaned her head on his shoulder. "So what is this mass of power?" In front of Rias, there was a gigantic floating black and crimson sphere. When he looked into it there was a mass of swirling death as when the energy moved into the center everything compressed.
"Wow her new move is crazy." Xenovia said as everyone else had gathered around
"It's one of those demonic power attacks that you don't want to be hit with." Akeno said as they all watched as the ground was trying to be pulled up from the force of her power.
"This sphere will be added to the forbidden move list. I was naive to think that an attack like this in the games would be used. But after the assaults from terrorists and thinking I lost Ise, I knew what was needed. I need an attack in an actual battle that will completely annihilate the enemies."
"A power that can overcome the retirement system, coming from the family that has a wizard technique type and a wizard power type." Kiba said, voicing his thoughts on what he was seeing.
The mass of energy shrank as the power dissipated when Rias looked over to the go "Let's go home, everyone."
The following day after school Issei was once again in the student council room. "You're lacking Hyoudou." Saji said as he was moving pieces on a chessboard.
Issei's hands were full as Tsubasa, the blue-haired girl of the Sitri peerage, was sitting on his lap. His brain wanted to focus on her and Issei though that was their plan. Issei was making poor moves in the chess match due to his distraction. "Sorry, my brain is giving me mixed signals right now." Tsubasa turned around and smiled at him.
"So how is your relationship with Rias going?" Saji asked sounding kind of down about that.
Issei's phone vibrated when it was on the table as a message popped up on the screen. Issei ignored it as he looked at Saji "I'm doing great, enough about me, how about you and uh Sona?"
Saji sighed hearing that "It's rough."
Tsubasa picked up his phone and read the screen "Kiryuu says Yes."
"Nice…" Issei said, taking his phone away from her. "Look Saji, time is needed for everything. You cant base your results on what you see from me."
"I know but it's just so hard to see when I'm getting nowhere.
The door to the room opened as Sona was looking at a piece of paper. Looking up from the paper she saw the three of them. "Hello, Issei spending time with members of the student council."
"Hey, Sona. I don't have any work right now but I do have something that came up."
Saji looked on in amazement "you're on a first name basis with her?" Behind Saji, Momo and Ruruko looked on as if they were progressing further in their relationship with Saji due to Issei's words.
Issei sent a quick message on his phone as he looked at Sona "I don't know if Rias told you but I'm taking Kiryuu."
She nodded "Rias told me. I find it odd that you would choose her."
"She has a Sacred Gear."
Sona tilted her head to the side "If you say so."
Issei's phone went off again as it was Kiryuu. "Even better she wants to join right now." Issei shifted Tsubasa onto the chair next to him. "Sorry I gotta go unless you want to come to my bed?"
"Before you leave are you ready for later?" Sona asked.
"I am." Tsubasa's face was red as she looked away as Issei walked out of the room.
Issei made his way up to the roof of the school as Kiryuu was waiting for him. Looking around he made sure that they were the only ones up there. Snapping his fingers a barrier around them was cast so nobody could eavesdrop. Issei brought out a box with all his evil pieces inside.
She looked inside the box and saw that there were three missing as they started floating. "This here is what we call Evil pieces, with this I can reincarnate you as a devil under my command."
"I see that you're missing some." She stated.
"I am, Asia and Ravel are my bishops; they focus on magic while having lower speed and defense. Xenovia right now is my lone knight. She is fast but she breaks the mold and is a huge powerful brute." He picked up one of the pawn pieces and moved it to her. "I would like for you to join us as a pawn, an all-rounder of sorts."
She picked up the pawn piece out of his hand and looked at it "What do I get out of it?"
"Long life span, access to things you never thought would be possible, you get to learn magic without the downsides of the human guilds." He looked Kiryuu in the eyes "I don't date humans due to lifespan issues but should you wish it I have no problem dating you. But most importantly you get to be with Asia, she likes your company more than you think and I would like to keep it that way."
She rotated the pawn in her hands as she was thinking about her decision "If I agree to this what do I need to do?"
"Take off your shirt and bra." Issei didn't want his plan to be uncovered so quickly.
But much to his surprise, she pulled off her shirt as her breast bounced around as she was getting her bra off. "Okay now what?"
He didn't expect her to comply with that at all, only for her to question it. The remaining evil pieces flooded back into the box as the lid closed on it as he stood up. Grabbing the lone pawn left he pointed at the wall "Put your back to the wall." She did so as she was holding her shirt and bra in her hands. Getting close to her he placed the pawn piece between her breasts as she was perky enough to hold it there. That's when the Red gremory magic circle appeared on the floor as it glowed for it to sink into her chest.
Issei twirled his finger around her right nipple as he backed away watching it get hard. "I don't feel any different." That's why two black devil wings popped out. She looked at them seeing the black leathery texture as they retracted. "That's going to take some time to get used to."
Issei nodded "Yes it will, mornings are going to be horrible for you as Light is our natural enemy. But it will fade in a day or so."
She tossed her shirt at him as she was putting her bra back on. "I didn't need to take my clothes off did I?"
She clasped the bra "No I just wanted to see your tits again." Hearing that she smacked Issei on the head and went back to putting her shirt on. "In the next few days, you will get a full crash course on all of this. But for now, don't worry about it. Just get used to the changes and be careful."
Late in the night the club room was jammed packed as Rias and Sona were sitting down on the couch with their Queens on their sides filling up the couch. Azazel was sitting on a chair as there was a woman with a veil covering her face. "Excuse me." She lifted her veil revealing her white skin with and a soft smile that looks as if she in her mid-twenties. "I have yet to introduce myself, Some of you already know who I am, Griselda Quarta. Red Dragon and Sister Asia it is good to see you again."
"She's my boss!" Irina happily shouts out.
"Oh, so your Griselda." Azazel said shaking her hand "I've heard much about you as your one of the top five strongest female exorcists, Gabriel's Queen no less."
"The fact that the former Governor-General knows who I am… I'm honored." Griselda looked at the rest of the members in the room. "I'm sorry everyone. Considering my position I should have introduced myself much earlier but my work has overloaded my time."
Irina looked over at Xenovia as she poked her in the side. "You don't look so good Irina."
"Don't tease me, Irina." Xenoiva was closer to a board than a human.
Griselda stood up and moved over to Xenovia as she grabbed her hands. "Xenovia? Do you hate to see me?"
"Noo… its… just…"
"Just what?"
"Sorry that I haven't answered your calls."
"Xenovia I gave you that number so we could talk. Could you at least have dinner with me when this is all done?"
"Of course." Hearing that Griselda was satisfied. Issei saw a different side of Xenovia as it was far from her brash personality as she was now the cuter side like Irina.
The night got even darker as everything was silent as an abnormal cold came from outside. Rias stood up "It's time, Kiba can go get them."
Irina moved behind Griselda as Issei stood next to the edge of the couch as everyone else was behind it. With a knock on the main door "I have brought the guests." Kiba said as the door opened up. The lead Vampire is a small girl wearing a dressing that looks as if it came from the middle ages giving her a doll-like appearance. Her pale skin and red eyes sold the doll look real well.
"How do you do people of the Three great powers." The small girl took a seat in the last remaining chair. "I'm honored that two sisters of Maou's and the former Governor of the Fallen Angels. My name is Elmenhilde Galnstein, but please call me Elmen."
Azazel is the first to speak up "Galnstein… If I'm correct that's one of the two big vampire factions while the other is the Carmilla faction. It's been a while since anybody has made contact with the outside world."
"Elmenhilde I feel bad asking you this but I must ask. What is your reason for wanting to meet us? Why has the Carmilla faction suddenly come out of darkness to speak with all of us?"
"To be simple," Elmenhilde closed her eyes "We need to borrow Gasper Vladi."
Everyone was speechless hearing her answer as they made eye contact with Gasper seeing that he was freaking out.
"Vampires always take never borrow so what changed?" Issei asked.
"Yes, we are going to need to know why you need him." Rias agreed with Issei backing him up.
"An incident happened in our world of Vampires that can cause our values to crumble. You might be aware of it due to the number of information leaks as of late, but a half on the Tepes side is a possessor of a Longinus." Elmenhilde informed them.
This interested Azazel greatly "So what Longinus is the Tepes faction in possession of?"
"It's the Sephiroth Grail."
Azazel was now serious about this meeting "Out of all possible things, it had to be one of the holiest relics. The Grail used in the Last supper had the blood of Jesus in it. And there are many legends surrounding the grail. But the Longinus isn't the Holy Grail, it's a Longinus that has the ability to deal with the principles of life. So what are the Vampires trying to get out of such power?"
"They want to become a being with no Weaknesses. We don't plan on allowing them to have this and will be expecting anyone who takes from the Grail to gain immortality. And we plan on stopping the ruckus but borrowing the power of Gasper Vladi."
Issei wasn't all enthused hearing that "Do you even know what Gasper power is?"
"We understand that he has a sleeping power deep inside of him."
Rias was skeptical about all of this "What is that power? Do you know what it does?"
"There are very rare times where those born are also born with the ability to surpass that of normal vampires. This is something we see from half vampires most of the time, but we know that Gasper Vladi will be one of them. Enough about that for now. The wielder is a half breed named Valerie Tepes born from the House of Tepes."
That name sent Gasper in a frenzy "That's impossible Valerie wasn't born with a sacred gear like I was."
"You should know that not every gear activates when you're born there are conditions for them to activate." Elmenhilde answers Gasper's skepticism.
"Gasper she right, remember I didn't unlock mine till I was 5." Issei answered back.
"I presume they hid it before we or Heaven could observe or confirm it. For Vampires who detest holy power, it's ironic that they have not abandoned a Longinus of that stature." Azazel remarked.
"Gasper Vladi, you hold a grudge against the House of Vladi. They exiled you because of your power."
"I'm satisfied just being here, being with all my friends."
Elmenhilde looked at Gasper as her rant was focused solely on him "Half Breed, hate child what names did they call you when you were in the Vladi household? I'm well aware that you and Valerie were the only thing you had."
The soft-spoken Griselda finally spoke up "Your kind detests children who are half, but it was your kind's selfish actions that took humans and forced them to bear children. I prefer your kind not to speak of humans as if they are mere hobbies."
Elmenhilde only smiled hearing that "Sorry but hunting humans is the true nature of our kind. It is no different Angels prey on the belief of humans. Or Devils and their need for deals." She held her hand out as the guard behind her placed a document in her hand. "I didn't come to the edge of the world empty-handed. I have a prepared document." Elmenhilde handed the document off to Azazel.
After Azazel read it he placed it on the table then spoke up "The Carmilla faction wants a peace conference. So you were dispatched as a special envoy for diplomatic reasons."
"Yes. Our Queen Carmilla is saddened with the war that has been drawn out with the Church and Fallen Angels for such a long time. She is saying that she wishes to have a truce."
"You got the steps wrong missy." Griselda perked up once again not happy about the situation Normally you come forward with the peace treaty, then information on the Longinus after that. The way you have presented it to us implies that there is no peace unless we do your work. The Three Great Powers have been asking and agreeing for peace with other factions without discrimination. Yet if we don't agree to your terms there will be talk about uniting who we feel is worth it."
Rias isn't happy at this revelation as Sona was holding onto her. "Please Rest assured, the fight between Vampires with be solved only with Vampires."
"Hold on now, Even if we give Gasper to you, you have given us no guarantee on his return or his safety." Issei said knowing that they had no plans.
Elmenhilde scoffed at him "You are merely a servant Do you even have the right to speak to someone such as I?"
"ENOUGH" Issei shouted at Elmenhilde frightening her "I am a High-class Devil, and I have the right to be on this meeting." Issei pointed towards the girls filling it up "I'm a Gentleman who let the ladies have their choice. But if you want to treat me differently then you will. I am the Red Dragon Emperor and from here on you will address me as Emperor. Is that clear?" Elmenhilde wasn't expecting anything like this as she tried to ignore him.
"Having a truce by Sacrificing one of my servants is what the Carmilla faction is asking for." Rias said trying to probe Azazel.
"Nobody has decided that he will be sacrificed. We just want to settle this immediately."
"You don't want us to interfere correctly?" Azazel asked, " How about acting as a middleman." He suggested.
Elmenhilde shook her head "No We settle our problems with our own hands. If you want to be an advisor then be my guest." Elmenhilde waited for something to happen "This is all I have to say. It was fortunate that I was about to meet you tonight. I thank you for the hospitality in your territory, Rias Gremory."
Rias combats Elmenhilde's cold smile "I'm glad that we were able to have this meeting."
As Elmenhilde was getting ready to leave she pointed to her servant. "I will leave my servant in the area. If something happens please consult him."
10 minutes pass as everyone calmed down from the encounter. "I sure don't like vampires." Xenovia said as she smacked the table.
Griselda took a drink from her cup as she looked at Xenovia. "You have grown up Xenovia. In the past, you would have attacked them with Durandal."
Sona looked over to Rias "So what will you do? You won't be able to ignore their cooperation. And if that happens you will have to get Gasper. And worst case you might lose him."
"I'm going." Gasper spits out as his voice was trembling "I don't want to return to the world of Vampires but I want to save Valerie. I'm indebted to her, she helped me escape the castle and eventually here." He looked at Rias "I want to save Valerie."
Rias thought about his declaration for a moment "I will be going there. I plan on speaking to the Vladi house and see how the Vampire situation is going." There was a fire in her eyes "Everybody will be on standby in case something happens." She looked over to Kiba "You will be joining me as my escort Kiba."
"Are you predicting that something will happen when you are over there?" Kiba asked wondering of any possible threats.
"If something happens then it is best to have a knife till the rest of the army can show up. If we go in with everybody they will be on alert to us."
Azazel nodded "It's not a bad plan, you will be flying blind for the most part. Elmenhilde was unwilling to divulge a lot of basic information. In that case, I'll be heading there with you, information on the Longinus is far too valuable to let go. Irina, Sister Griselda inform Michael of what happened and tell them not to interfere we don't need the church or Heaven breaking a small window."
After the meeting concluded Azazel took Issei into another room as he was inspecting the Boosted Gear. "So there's still no glow from the gauntlet. He must have used plenty of power will in the gap."
"How long do you think he will continue to sleep?"
Azazel scratched his head "It's hard to say. I don't know how much power he used when you told me what happened, we could be throwing a wrench in the darkness expecting the engine to be rebuilt. Having Great Red and Ophis upgrade your body with Ddriag kept you alive is surely a feat of large loads of power. Nothing like this has happened before, so anything we see is a first-time basis."
"I thought that being alone for once would be nice. But I'm bored with it. I miss the voice in my head. You would think that having a voice in your head disappear would be a good thing, but it honestly sucks." Issei said as he was looking down at the gauntlet.
"Just take care of the legendary dragon okay? Ddraig is valuable considering how many many dragon souls are sealed into sacred gears." Azazel told Issei as there was a knock on the door.
"Azazel are you done with Issei? We need to deal with leaving." It was Rias as she was checking upon them.
"Yeah, I need to speak to Asia however."
Morning rolled around as Issei got out of the bedroom without waking anyone. He made his way down to the bath. After a bit, the door to the room opened up as he saw Ravel standing there in the full nude. "Lord Ise. I didn't think anybody was going to use this so early."
"I'll uh umm wash your back." Ravel quickly made her way over to Issei as she did just that as rubbing his back. "How is it?"
"It's nice Ravel. How do you feel about last night?" He asked her.
"Gasper is my friend, but I also understand that this is part of their politics." Issei reached back and Grabbed ahold of Ravel and brought her to his lap. "Even we purebloods choose our friends. Koneko Gasper and all my classmates are treating me well despite we are all from different races." Ravel looked up from her new place at Issei "Have you decided on any new servants?"
"I already have a pawn that I got yesterday, It's Kiryuu.
"Why didn't you say anything about that." Ravel pouted as she wasn't informed
"Because I thought the vampire stuff was more important than her."
Out from under the water Ophis popped up looking at Issei and Ravel. "I went under for 30 minutes." The two of them watched as Ophis walked out of the pool and into the changing room.
Ravel was left stunned as her jaw was wide open seeing all of this. "Hey um did you see her clothes in the changing room when you came in here?" Ravel shook her head getting a laugh out of everything that just happened.
"I'm not going to be responsible for what happens after that." Issei laughed watching Ophis leave the room.
Several days have passed since the vampires visited. Rias has planned to leave later in the night heading off to a location deep within the mountains of Romania. Issei entered the training room as Kuroka and Ke Fay were already occupying the room.
"What are you two doing down here?
"Research nya!" Kuroka said reading one of the many books around them. She held up the book she was reading "It's a book on life aura's senjutsu touki and other things like that.
"Excuse us for being here." Le Fay apologized she was a nice girl who got swept up in the wrong things.
"At least your helping her properly."
"So Rude nya. I can do serious things when I am needed to."
Issei nodded "I'll forgive my mom's rule for you while your working to help Koneko."
Kuroka's eyes lit up "Realy?" She stuck her hand under her Kimono pulling off some panties "Now I see why all of the girls fall for you. You're more charming than you let on to be." Issei knew that she wore all the time, the lack of them was just a ploy for Issei to have sex with her.
Le Fay tried changing the subject "How has your search for a magician been going?"
"It's ehhh." Issei shrugged his shoulders "Plenty of Impressive people but nobody impressive at the same time."
"Nya have you given a name for this child yet." Kuroka was acting like a kitten trying to bat a flying airship out of the sky.
It was one of Issei's familiars. "It does have a name. I called it Ryuuteimaru."
"Lame!" Kuroka rejected the name right away.
"Screw you cat put your panties back on then." Hisses of a cat were heard as the door opened up as Asia was there.
"Ise Rias will be leaving Japan now."
"Excuse me," Issei said mainly to Le Fay at this point as he made his way to where the teleportation circle was.
When he made it down there Rias was hugging Gasper and rubbing his head. "Don't worry Gasper." She looked towards Akeno "I leave everything to you."
Issei made his way over to Kiba giving him a fistbump as he moved over to Rias wanting a hug from her. "I'll be back soon Ise." Rias whispered as Azazel spoke up.
"Ophis just help Asia with that thing we talked about. With your help, everything should go over well.
Akeno was doing her last preparation checking over the magic circle as they gathered inside of it. They glowed bright red and within a blink of an eye, the three of them were gone.
With Rias gone Issei was trying to get some sleep but Issei was missing something big and bouncy and full of fun next to him. So his next best choice was Asia as he cuddled up behind her "Sorry." Issei said as he was holding Asia.
"Issei your such a spoiled child." Asia said to him
That's when they heard the door open "Excuse me." Issei looked over and saw Akeno closing the door "I hope you don't mind me being here for the night." Akeno crawled on the bed towards Issei.
When she got to Issei she began pulling off her thin black negligee. She had no bra on under as Issei's first instinct was for hands to grab onto her breasts. "Ah making my first night so easy."
Issei was confused by that as he looked at her. Rolling her over Issei stuck his hand down into Akenko's panties "Were you expecting something like this?
Her face ran red "Is it not what you and Rias do every night?" She asked embarrassingly as Issei's hand was still in her panties touching her. "I've made a mistake haven't I."
"No, you can sleep with us."
Hearing that Akeno grabs Issei's head and sinks it into her breasts as she sinks into the bed with him. After a few minutes, Akeno began confessing to him. "When I thought you died, for me everything died as well. My mind went blank and only memories of you kept me from reality."
Issei listened to her story "Akeno."
"Y-yes?" She studdered out not expecting him to call out.
"I'm sorry about all of that. I didn't want to leave everyone. But I'm here and not going anywhere. I don't plan on dying anytime soon, I want to stay here with you and Rias. Can you do that for me?"
Akeno was crying as Issei felt her tears drip onto him. "I'll get stronger for Ise so I can be with you forever. I'll live for you and Rias." Issei saw now that mature Akeno was gone and replaced with a cute girl who would do anything for the man in front of her. "I guess I'll let Ise control my body from here."
Issei sprang up as he rubbed his head between her tits hearing that.
"Hello…." The door closed once again as Koneko was standing there with nothing but a small white shirt on.
"What's wrong Koneko?" Issei asked her as she was standing there.
"I will also be sleeping with Ise and everyone else." As she hopped onto the bed and got into position hugging him. "Ravel stole my spot on your lap. Now I'm taking it back."
"No fair." He heard as he was soon being held onto by Asia's soft pajamas.
"Now that Rias is gone we can have all the fun with Issei." Xenovia's voice was heard from the other side of the door as it was opened.
"But it's a boy's room." Irina said.
"There's more bras and panties in his room than it ours. I think it's more of a girl's room with Ise in it.." Xenovia said as she entered the room with Irina. They had on matching pajamas Xenovia blue Irina in pink.
As Xenovia is undressing she looked over to Irina "Can you even make babies."
"Of course I can. I just have to do a ritual so I don't fall." Irina said as everybody watched the two of them argue.
"Are you two going to get on the bed any time soon?" Issei asked laying there.
The two of them thought about it as Ravel came in and pointed at Koneko "Thieving cat!" The three of them pile on taking a spot on the bed.
Having no other girls left to break it the door opened again as Gasper is standing there holding onto his box. "Ummm I'm lonely Issei."
Looking up he saw Gasper holding on to his box. "Well, my bed is full. But I see you have your box so take a spot wherever you want I guess."
It had been a few days since Rias left for Romania. Issei was in class with all of the other students as it was downtime. Matsuda and Motohama were talking as they looked out the window and saw three humans walking towards the school wearing funny clothes and large magician hats. "Who are they?" Motohama asked as one of the mages fired a beam at the school causing the barrier around it to shatter like glass. Issei looked out the window seeing it shatter.
The first watched as the second one fired a much larger blast this time towards the classroom they were in. Issei grabbed Motohama and Matsuda and threw them down on the ground "Irina!" He shouted as he formed a barrier. She saw what was going on as she did the same as the brunt of the blast hit Issei's barrier as it fragmented into smaller explosions.
The class was in awe as they saw what was going on as they felt the building shake. Issei's barrier was the linchpin in this as it cracked letting some of the explosion through as the window shattered sending glass flying towards him. He was peppered with fragments of glass and drywall as he took most of the glass that was flying at the students.
"Katase" He heard Murayama scream out as he looked back as there was blood on the floor as Katase was on the floor with a gash in her throat and a larger shard of glass was sticking out.
Murayama had blood covering her hands trying to stop the bleeding as Asia was tending to the wounds. Issei walked over to the girls as a crowd formed around them seeing that she was bleeding out and that a green light was coming from Asia's hands.
Issei was picking some glass out of his body "How is she doing Asia?" He crouched down next to them.
"Not good." Asia shook her head "The attack was infused with something, it broke the main artery. She's losing too much blood even if I fix her up."
Issei summoned in his hand a small vial and a red pawn piece. He opened the vial and pulled the top off. He leaned down over Katase as he looked her in the eyes as she looked as she was getting ready to fade away. "I'm sorry but I'll explain it more later."
"SEKIRYUUTEI!" A voice was heard from outside as it rang through the whole school.
Issei poured the tear on Katase as her body glowed a faint red as the neck wound closed up. Small fragments of glass dusted off her as she was still near death. Pawn piece in hand it lit up in a crimson as he pushed it into her chest. "What are you doing!" Murayama yelled at Issei, everything was so bizarre.
Issei ignored her as he continued pushing the pawn piece "I didn't want it this way." Under them, the Gremory logo appeared as everyone backed away from it as Murayama and Asia were watching on.
Murayama grabbed Issei by the shirt and shook him "What is going on!" She screamed out as tears were coming down her face.
With a flick of his fingers, he hit Murayama in the side of her head. Her body slumped over as he knocked her out. "Asia please deal with these two." Asia nodded as the three of them disappeared. He stood up as the rest of the class had no clue what to say as he walked towards the hole in the wall. "Irina contact Sona and explain what just happened. Xenovia nobody leaves the room, and if there are more mages that try to get in here… Kill them." The shock was something the class had already witnessed but the fact that he told them to kill others was something they were not prepared for.
The boosted gear appeared on his hand as he jumped out of the school building and headed towards the magician. The magicians formed defensive barriers as they saw no light on the boosted gear. "Look at this child not even taking us seriously."
"We came here to challenge the power of the Sekiryuutei."
Issei raised his right eyebrow hearing that "You three lowly magicians came here and attacked the school just to challenge me?"
"Your ranking among the magicians was just released and we want to see if our plan would work."
"I killed Shalba Beelzebub, what makes you think that you will live?" Issei pointed at them. That's when it all clicked as another explosion was heard off in the back of the school. "So you're after Ravel."
"Maybe." The first one shrugged as they activated defensive barriers. "But you're going to play along with us." They quickly moved to the offense as they let a few ice sickle flying as Issei had to sidestep them.
"Your all mage's so this one should be easy for you to answer. Why is Newton's 3rd law so important?" Issei grinned from ear to ear as he ran up on one of them as they still had a magic circle up. He punched the defensive barrier, shattering it as his fist connected with the mage's chest, sending him flying across the yard until he crashed into the wall. "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."
"To think you broke through one of the barriers without the use of your sacred gear." The two magicians gathered together forming a stronger barrier as another explosion went off. "I guess our time here has ended." The two of them were engulfed in a flash of light.
Issei went over to the magician that he had punched and seen that he was out cold. Summoning a rose it changed into a vine as it wrapped around his feet and hands binding him so he could be transported away. Once he did that Issei ventured back into the school seeing that one of the first-year classrooms had been partially destroyed. Looking in he saw that a girl was sitting on the floor with her eyes open but hollow as her body was rigid as she had seen some things. "You okay." Issei waved his hand in front of her.
"Koneko, Gasper, Ravel. Weird looking people. Saved me." The girl muttered out, not able to make full sentences.
"They saved all of us." Issei heard another girl's voice as he saw another one sitting next to the normal entrance to the classroom. "Some weird people in robes came in and took the three of them. And then they just disappeared in a flash of light. It was like an anime with all of the flashy spells."
"Great." Issei said to himself.
Later in the night, everyone including the student council members gathered in the old school building. "Repairs are being worked on currently as the students were sent home earlier. The three Great powers are investigating who attacked us currently." Tsubaki said to everyone
"What about the memories of those who were involved?" Xenovia asked Sona.
"We have already started altering their memories. The upside is nobody left school early so we can do damage control early. The Angels and Fallen are assisting in the memory wipes." Sona briefed her "Speaking of which where is Issei?"
"He's in one of the spare rooms with Katase and Murayama." Xenovia told her.
"I see I need to speak to him." Sona said as she left the room to look for Issei.
After a few minutes, Sona found Issei in a dark room watching over the Kendo girls. "So you're in here."
Issei didn't break his vision to look back at her. "Yes… what do you need."
"I just came to inform you that the repairs are underway and we are working to make sure nobody remembers the event."
"That's good to hear, but I still have the Issue that Gasper is missing and my kitten and bird are missing. Now I have to deal with these kendo girls who hate me but one of them is a devil now."
"That is a predicament," Sona said as Issei raised his hand
"I know you're awake Murayama." Her head peaked up from the covers of the bed. Issei pointed to the room on his right. "Bathroom is over there." Out from under the covers there was a blue streak, and a few minutes later there was another one as she made her way back under the bed covers."
"What's going on Issei, I better not be dressed like this because of your perverted fantasies."
Issei got a laugh hearing that "Would you believe me if that was Xenovia's choice? Anyways wake up your girlfriend."
Murayama was struck with everything that happened earlier as she rolled over to look at her best friend. Katase was shaking Murayama as she was even more groggy than Katase "Where am I."
"You are in one of Rias's old beds." The two girls snapped to attention as Issei once again pointed to the bathroom. "Bathroom is to the right I know you need it its been over eight hours." This time there was a pink streak that matched her hair that went back and forth.
When the two girls were settled he looked at them "What do you remember."
"Not much, you yelled out to Irina. Then I was on the floor and everything was getting heavy and it was hard to hear things." Katase was on the mark
"You remembered your let's call it death"
"I died?"
"You were seconds away from bleeding out. Any longer and you would have been a statistic."
"Then how is she alive?" Murayama asked.
Issei held up a red pawn piece "I reincarnated Katase as a devil. And while yes I understand the complications behind it, I feel it's better than you being dead on the floor."
"Did you say, devil?" Katase asked not fully sure of everything that was happening.
Issei motioned to Sona to turn up the lights as it got easier for Murayama to see. Issei walked over to Katase and placed his hand on her back as he funneled a little power into her as out of her back popped out two devil wings. "You look so cute with those wings and pink underwear." Murayama was drolling over Katase's new look as she climbed over the bed.
"I guess Xenovia does know how to be a girl." Issei said. "Getting back on track. I am your devil master and I'm aware of the problems that create. However, I can and will be extremely lax with you provided our relationship." Issei extended his devil wings out to show them that they weren't crazy. Issei grabbed onto her hands and looked at her "We devils can live…. Well, I know of a few gods that are old than the eldest devils, so forever."
Issei saw that Murayama was somewhat intrigued by what he had to say considering what happened. So he pulled out the box of his evil pieces and showed them off. "Just as in chess Devils have evil pieces so we can reincarnate people."
"Your missing 2 bishops a knight and two pawns." Katase pointed out.
"Am I?" Issei asked her "Or maybe I have other girls under my command."
"Girls?" Murayama asked
Issei pointed in the box "My two bishops are the cute blondies of Asia Argento and Ravel Phenex. My sole Knight is Xenovia Quarta. And I just turned Kiryuu into a pawn and then Katse." Issei picked up another pawn piece and handed it to Murayama. "I know that your best friend is now going to live forever but you would be missing out. I'm going to extend this offer to you as well."
"Why tho?" Murayama asked, "We beat you up every day and you being nice."
Issei sighed. "The two of you don't really beat me up. Have you ever noticed that I recover from your beatings within the hour? It's because while I try to peak on you girls I let you beat me up so you would get your vengeance. But Murayama I'm asking you to become one of my pawns just like Katase so she has a friend. The prospect of the two of you being decent with swords is a positive for me. But Katase was never meant to die earlier, she died because I have never been good with magic let alone barriers. And unfortunately, the two of you have been introduced into the world of the supernatural."
Sona was heard leaving the room as Murayama handed Issei back the pawn piece. "What do I have to do to join?"
"Lay down." Issei said as she did as instructed. He moved over to her as he placed the pawn on her chest. "Last chance. There is no going back, this is a one-way trip." "Just do it." Hearing that Issei funneled a little bit of magic into the evil piece as it glowed sinking down into her. Once it sank all the way in he pulled his hand away from her.
Murayama sat up and looked at her hands thinking something was going to happen. "I don't feel any different."
Issei shrugged his shoulders "You not supposed to feel any different. That's for tomorrow when you experience sunlight." Issei laughed knowing the hell they were about to go through come morning. "I'll leave you two to talk. If you want us unless something happens we are in the main room off to the right."
Issei moved towards the door as he heard it "Wait why didn't you say anything."
He knew what they were talking about. "Quick information dump before you get the full stuff later. My mother is Aphrodite, as the real deal the ancient Greek God of love and Beauty. I know when not to act like a perv when a lady is lounging in her nightie and how to speak to her. But if you must, Xenovia did pick out a nice set of lace underwear for the two of you as it's a treat for my eyes." Issei quickly left the room for the impending doom that was bound to happen if he stayed any longer.
Down the hall, they heard Issei yelling "Xenovia this is the last time you ever get a hold of my book. You can't just give out all the cute clothes to girls that have no interest in me." Laughing and giggling was heard coming from them as Katase and Murayama wondered what they got themselves into.
