"Why so goddamn quiet here?" The door slams open showing Riser and Ravel entering the occult building "Where's Makasha and Rias?" he asks leaning against the wall whilst his sister proceeds to take a seat on the couch.

Yuuto who is sited at Rias's desk places the pencil down and looks up "Nawin-kun, Issei-kun, Akeno-san, and Buchou are currently out on a mission" Xenovia turns to the Phenex blankly "Where have you been lately? You disappeared after leaving from hollow hell".

"Had a few things that needed my attention and after finishing that my mother ordered me to head back to this human place and learn... like there's anything for me to learn here" Riser replies crossing his arms in annoyance. "Bad time to come back, doubt anything interesting will happen for a while" Xenovia replies lying on the couch with noticeable boredom.

Riser grunts turning his head to the side "What? just because the Makasha isn't here to shake things up you guys are just gonna sit here being bored huh it's like all of you can't do anything without him or Rias present" he comments. Yuuto stop his writing and look at the Phenex "You do have a point Riser-san, but there's nothing to do right now... Kuoh is in a peaceful time and being honest it's best that way after the Kokabiel incident along with the Ghouls" "And you coming here" Koneko adds.

Riser smirks "When I came here, I shook things up and honestly helped you guys get stronger, by forcing all of you to train for a week" Yuuto raises an eyebrow hearing that "I'll give you that Riser-san you did in some way helped us get stronger".

Ravel sighs "Great I was expecting to have something to do here, but I guess that's just too good to be true" Riser stretch his head and turn to the door "If there's nothing to do here then we'll be leavin-" he is cut off when feeling a presence from behind "If your so bored then why don't we spar for a bit then".

Riser glances behind to see Xenovia pointing the Excalibur destruction at him with her right hand looking bored as well "Sure why not just don't get roasted in the first round mongrel". "Tsk" Xenovia grinds her teeth in annoyance and sends a right hook at the blond's head sending him literally flying out of the door "You just ask for it" she mutters dramatically exiting the room.

Yuuto notices Koneko and Ravel also making their way out which he sighs looking down at the paperwork's "Huh as much as I like peaceful time it can sure be plain at times" he mutters picking up the pan and resumes writing "I hate paperwork's it never ends...".

Outside

"Ouf!" Riser crashes into a tree as Xenovia stop a few meter away from him resting the destruction blade on her shoulder. "You know I always wanted to ask you this, but why are you only using the Excalibur destruction instead of others and with that being said where are the others?" Ravel asks leaning on a pillar.

Xenovia glances back "I use destruction because it's the best one out of the others that fits my fighting style and the others are rested in a pocket dimension where I keep the durandal at" Riser rubs his jaw getting back up "Then why don't you just fuse all the Excalibur's and create the true Excalibur already? You will be a force to reckon with that... a holy blade that even strike fear to Satan's".

"That's the very reason why we haven't helped her with that" Yuuto inform leaning at the window as the others turn to him "If word got out that true Excalibur has been reform then the churches and angels will immediately be asking question and try to get their hands on it".

"Enough with asking question and give me a fight Phenex, my body has been itching for it lately" Xenovia said stabbing the great sword to the ground and rub her sleeping shoulder. Koneko perk up slightly and sniff 'Hmmm' Riser smirk "Fine then let's see what the newest member of Rias group got!" he said sending a fire ball to the blue haired.

Xenovia look at the incoming attack blankly and lift the giant sword from the ground to bring it forward as the fire ball smash into it before splitting in half going pass her. Riser raise an eyebrow wondering why the fireball didn't explode instead it splits in half 'Interesting' he mutters before walking forward then speed toward the blue haired.

Xenovia send the sword down making the ground explode forcing the Phenex to jump up and deliver a spinning kick which she blocks using her left arm "I have to say your strength is incredible being able to swing a sword of that size with one hand" Riser comments.

Xenovia grip the handle tightly and swing to the Phenex forcing him to move back, but is stop when Xenovia grabs his leg tightly 'Shit!'. Riser look at the incoming blade and summons a flaming shield blocking the incoming strike, but with more force behind it then he expected the shield break and send him flying across the field, crashing to the ground.

"Your brother is weak" Kokoro comment plainly at the Ravel who glare at her "He's not even using his full strength surely if he wanted to, this whole place could be set in flames and this battle would be over in a second" "Mhm" Koneko eyes narrow and glance at the many trees.

Riser gets up and spit the blood "Not bad I actually felt that one" he comments as Xenovia stop a few meters away from him holding the sword with both hands. Yuuto who is back at the desk just finishing the paperwork pause feeling something watching him 'No not just me... the others!'.

"Stop you two!" Yuuto appear between them "Someone's here... watching us" he informs making everyone go on full guard "Is that so... COME OUT WHO EVER YOU ARE!" Riser order. "Oh dear I must have been a bit clumsy there" a light feminine voice comment making everyone look up at the tree branch to see Ren leaning on the tree looking down at them.

Yuuto eyes narrow looking at the purple haired 'Schnyzel's servant... what is she doing here and more importantly what does she want?'. Riser cross his arms looking at the girl unimpressed "You dare come here to our territory with that pathetic excuse of magic level" he mutters as a small fireball appear behind the purple haired "Be gone weakling" the fireball expands then explode.

Everyone look at the flaming tree falling down and see no sign of the enemy anywhere "That was that" Riser comment "No it's not... Riser look out!" Yuuto yell seeing Ren appear behind the Phenex holding her sword out which she lunches it forward piercing right through the blond's heart.

"Uh" Riser eyes widen seeing his vision blur as blood drip down his mouth "A little advice... some unique individual can conceal their power to tricked people like you" Ren state pulling her sword back and kick the Phenex to the ground. "Riser!" Yuuto shouts seeing the light in the blond's eyes fading "Mhm you do know he can't die even if I had just pierce his heart" Ren said surprising the other while Ravel hold the most shock 'H-how does she know this?!'.

Ren smirks seeing Ravel shock face "It's not a joke saying that the Phenex's are immortal... there's a few ways to kill them one is dismembering their head, the other one is shower them with holy water that will even extinguish their famous flames and the last one" Ren pulls out a double barrel shotgun and aims it down at Riser's chest "Is to destroy their heart with a silver bullets cover in holy water" she smirks holding the trigger firmly.

Ravel immediately shot towards the purple haired and fire a powerful wind blast knocking her away from Riser "How predictable" Ren mutter backflip and fire the double barrel sending dozens of bullets toward the young Phenex who lands next to her brother.

Yuuto appear in front of Ravel and deflect all the bullets with his flaming sword, as Xenovia appears next to him "What do you want servant of Schnyzel?" Yuuto question turning serious "Simple I'm here because of my master orders" she reply simply while placing the shotgun back to the holster which is strapped behind her thick leather belt.

Ren grab her sword and slowly sheaths it out "A simple looking Katana? What happen to the previous one huh?" Xenovia ask staring at the long six feet katana with have silver sharp guard, black with white strip handle, and strong silver spiky pummel "A bit of an upgrade from my previous one" Ren reply simply.

'This has to be planned...' Yuuto note holding his sword tightly 'Schnyzel send her at the time when Buchou and the others are away' Ren take one step forward and disappear alerting the two knight "Behind you!" Ravel warn seeing Ren appear behind the two and swing her long sword.

Xenovia bring her blade back blocking the attack while Yuuto spin behind the enemy and lunch his sword at her, but he is caught by surprise seeing Ren holding the double barrel right at his chest using her other arm while smirking "Wrong move" she pulls the trigger "BOOM!" Yuuto quickly speed back dodging some of the bullets but a few glaze and hit him.

"D-damn" the blond mutter kneeling down feeling the stinging pain at his abdomen and leg "Bastard!" Xenovia kick Ren in the stomach sending her back then dispel the Excalibur destruction replacing it with the durandal. "MOON SLASH!" Xenovia shouts slamming the sword down firing a large blue magic blast.

Ren smirk "Your human emotion never ceases to amaze me, but it's also easy to be used against you" she states and was about to dodge the blast when blood explode from behind her back "Uh!" Ren eyes widen and glance back seeing Akame looking at her blankly holding the black thunder "You should watch your back more" the black haired replies and kick her into the blast before disappearing.

"BOOM!" The blast explodes when it came into contact with Ren "Akame!" Xenovia call out as she appears beside her "Felt her magic signature, so I came here at once" "Good since we need all the help we can get" Xenovia comment holding the durandal tightly.

"Indeed, but I say it's over for you" A blue portal suddenly opens almost looking like it's cut from reality and Ren walk out from it, Xenovia before she would do anything feel her bottom wrist explode in blood causing her to lose the grip on Durandal 'S-shit!'.

Ren grab the durandal and kick the blue haired to Akame who caught her and place her to the ground gently, before shooting toward the purple haired who block the strike with durandal "So the durandal that was what you're after" Akame state finally figuring it out "Mhm a pathetic half devil doesn't deserve to hold such a holy blade, now I shall take it" Ren hold the katana backwards and send it to the black haired.

Akame jump and kicks the durandal large blade making her fly back narrowly missing the strike "Lighting Stream!" she shouts slamming the black thunder to the ground sending a red lighting stream speeding toward the purple haired who sheath the katana back and hold the durandal with two hands as it's blade explode in golden aura "King's Slash!" she fires a golden slash filled with magic to the Makasha knight.

Akame curse seeing the magic attack speeding toward her 'Time to use the gift that Nawin-kun has bestow to me' Akame clench her left hand making it glow, forming a special red metal glove with dragon claw like design on it covering her left hand completely making it look like a dragon hands, there is a white stone placed in the middle which glows brightly forming a large white magic barrier.

The magic slash collides with the barrier and to Ren shock it bounce back and redirect to her "Mhm that's no ordinary barrier!" Ren slams the durandal down as the blast came contact to it making it fuse back into the blade. Akame clench her fist making the barrier shatter "I will give it to you Akame, knight of Nawin Makasha you are a worthy opponent, but we shall not settle this today".

Ren lift the durandal up as a portal appear behind her making Akame dash toward her "You're not getting away that easily!" Koneko run behind the portal sending a power flying punch making it shatter from existence. Ren click her teeth as she brings the durandal up blocking Akame's attack while using her other hand to grab the double barrel and point it straight at the surprise white haired.

Akame eyes widens seeing Ren pulling the trigger "NO!" "Say goodnight cat!" "Boom!" "AH UH!" Koneko eyes snap open which quickly turn into complete shock seeing Yuuto in front of her stopping the bullets with his back. Ren jumps away dodging an incoming strike from Akame who curse missing.

Yuuto smile down at the shock little girl "Y-you o-ok Koneko?" he asks before coughing up blood "Oh sorry about t-that... I-I have b-blood all over yo-you n-now" he mutters before collapsing to the ground "Yuuto!" Koneko snap out of her shock and turn the blond over trying to stop the bleeding.

Akame glance behind seeing Yuuto's critical condition "YOU BITCH!!" an enrage Xenovia pass her and runs toward Ren with blue aura exploding around her while holds the Excalibur of destruction. "I'M GOING TO FUCKING CUT YOU IN HALF AFTER WHAT YOU DID!" Xenovia swear glaring at the amuse Ren who smirk "My, my such rage you have in those eyes".

Xenovia slam the great sword at Ren making the ground explode in smoke "But your rage blinds you" Xenovia gasp seeing Ren appear behind her with a katana going through her abdomen "You and him are weak... perfect for each other" Ren smirk pulling her sword out as the blue haired collapse to the ground.

Ren sheath her katana back and turn to Akame who look at her blankly gripping the black thunder handle tightly making her eyes flash in amusement "Oh... is that fear running through your body" Ren suddenly burst in laughter "AHAHAHAHA even with those blank eyes off yours there's no denying in your body language that you feel fear right now".

"Tell me... just who are you and why are you so different from the time we first met?" Akame ask "Oh, you see I was allowed to let loose of my true self thanks to my master" Ren reply "Deception... it's one of his expertise and why he's been toying with all of you without any of you noticing a thing, but enough of that, now it's my time to return" she announce opening the portal.

Ren was about to enter when the black thunder speed past her hitting the portal making it shatter "You think I will let you walk away that easily?" Ren grins turning to the Makasha knight who stood strong looking at her blankly though rage can be seen in her red eyes as well "I could have sworn a second ago you stood frozen in fear... what's with the drastic change?" Ren ask curious.

Akame walk toward Schnyzel servant "Simple if I am to be the blade for my master I won't be afraid of you or anyone... I won't disappoint him with the trust he placed on me" Ren smirk as the black haired stop beside her, grabbing the black thunder "Seems like we can relate in one thing... our loyalty to our masters is without question, so that's why I must kill you" Ren grip the durandal tightly "If you are to interfere with my master's order".

Akame glance at her opponent "I won't allow you to take that holy sword... it will not fall into your master's hands" Ren sighs and flick her right finger at the black haired sending a wind bullet that hits her right in the torso breaking her chest bones as she is send into a tree "When we fight it shall be when you are ready Akame... right now I could crush you like an insect if I wanted to" Ren state.

Akame fall down from the tree landing on her knees while she holds her bruise stomach and use the black thunder as support to get herself up "We are knights... we should have honors like a knight, so I shall not kill you when you haven't reached your fullest potential yet and when that the day come we shall fight... after all our masters are destined to fight, so we shall cross paths again Akame" Ren said summoning a portal behind her.

Ren glance back at the black haired "Find the meaning of being a knight... your loyalty for him is splendid, but you are missing something critical about being a knight and when you find it only, then will you become strong this is the word of advice I leave you" she said then enters the portal.

Akame curse feeling her vision blurs, the black thunder disappears making her drops to the ground 'N-nawin-kun... can I really get that strong... someone like me who couldn't even pr-protect her f-family' Akame eyes shuts falling into slumber.

Underworld

"Uhm!" Nawin sits up feeling cold sweat dripping down his face "Damn" he mutters rubbing his eyes and turn to the right seeing Akeno sleeping peacefully making him smile "Her peaceful sight sure keeps me calm" he mutters before getting up and puts on a plain silver shirt.

The black flash exits his tent to be met with a cold night sky "Huh purple sky sure is a different view compare to home" he mutters taking a sit near the camp fire "Mhm" Nawin flick his finger shooting a small red fire which hit the logs making it burst in flames again.

Nawin sighs and leans his back on a tree "Awake?" he opens his eyes to see Rias taking a seat opposite from him "Yeah... just got some bad dreams that all, plus I don't mind getting up at this time... always enjoy the cold night air". Rias smile looking up at the sky "Nawin-kun I've been wanting to ask something... I think this is a good time" she starts making him glance at her "Go ahead".

Rias turn to him "Are you happy with the life you are currently in or do you still hate me for what I have done to you?" Nawin close his eyes releasing a sigh "Mhm you still worried about that?" "Yes... Nawin-kun you have become a close person in my life" Rias hold her hands up a bit and smile at him "I wasn't joking when I said that I saw you as my trouble making little brother... it would make me sad knowing you still hate me for what I'd done...".

"... I don't hate you Rias sure it took some time to accept the situation, though I myself wonder if you'd left me to die that day... maybe this world would have been a better place for you, Akeno, Lucy, Asia, and the others" Nawin said looking up the sky while Rias look at him shock "Why would you say such a thing!" She quietly shouts in anger.

Nawin tilt his head looking at the Gremory who seems furious by the comment he just made "Huh... Rias there's no denying that a lot of the individuals we have faced and are going to face have one thing all in common" "Hmph" Rias clench her fist "They are all after me and want something from me... I don't know why, but it's clear as day and it puts you along with the other in danger..." Nawin reply softly though also stoically making the Gremory look at him worry 'Why... why do I feel like you're keeping something from me Nawin...'.

"Nawin-kun... you do know me along with the others will fight by your side no matter what right? We won't abandon you just because there's powerful enemy after you that will put us in danger... all of us will fight to the death by your side... all of us will and I'm sure you know that, you have done so much for us all, so me along with the other won't second thought about jumping into battle alongside you" Rias said making Nawin slowly smile "I know Rias... I know" he whispers.

Rias smile a bit seeing the black haired being a bit more open now just like before 'Before Asia became blind' "You should smile more Nawin-kun it sure suits you better" she comments making him chuckle lightly "That's what Akeno always says". Rias place her index finger on her chin trying to think of something "You know Nawin-kun I always found this interesting" she starts making the black haired turn to her curious "That is?".

"You ever wonder how much things would have changed if instead of you waking up with Akeno by your side, it's me" Rias smile "I find it rather intrigued what would have happened if the past was set like that". Nawin who raise an eyebrow at the odd question out of nowhere "Well I always imagine changing the tiniest thing in the past can alter the future in many ways... who knows maybe our lives may be very different from the one right now in good or bad no one can say".

Nawin sighs looking back up at the sky "Why you asking this Rias? You think if that happened I would have fallen in love with you instead of Akeno?" he asks "Could be as you said who knows" "Mhm my love for Akeno begin before I'd turned into a devil... I know she was special at the day I met her, so if that event you said happened, I say my love for her will still be present the only real different will be I see you naked instead of her" he joke making the Gremory giggle.

Rias smile "I'm glad your love for her is strong since I know her love for you is very strong even much stronger than yours to her" she states making Nawin open his eyes slightly glancing at her "Mhm..." "Are you embarrass that it's true!" Rias grin seeing a light blush appear on the black haired cheek "Heheh you don't need to be embarrass Nawin-kun I know you love her immensely, but Akeno's love for you is stronger because... well of her slight obsession or protective she can get for you".

Nawin holds his hands out grabbing a piece of leaf falling from the tree "I don't mind the slight protectiveness she has for me... she never been loved that kind of way and hasn't felt that kind of love in a long time because of her past, so it's understandable why she's like that... also I sometimes find it adorable" he said while Rias raise an eyebrow "You know of her past?" "Being a student of Azazel has some advantages also it's only right he would tell me since he's my godfather and he did have a part to play in her past" "I see...".

Nawin throw the leaf up making the wind pick it and flies away as he stands up "Now to make things clear Rias, I don't hate or resent you about reviving me into a devil... you gave me another chance to live and prove that you are a kind and good king, by treating me along with the others like family, so get rid of that thought" he said walking toward her and kneel down "Now then why don't you go rest while I take the next shift" he smiles and flick her forehead.

Rias rub her forehead and pouts "I'm supposed to do that not you little brother" Nawin gets up and chuckle "Go to bed already sis" he said then jump up to the trees leaving a shock Gremory who slowly smile before heading to her tent.

Nawin lands on a branch looking at the long dirt road that's awaits them to travel for Shigemi "Huh, a day more and we will reach there" he mutters taking a sit and looks up at the sky "..." Nawin sighs leaning back on the tree while just looking at the dark sky in silence.

"I'm curious Nawin-kun" A voice speaks out breaking the silent night as the black haired slowly open his eyes to see her again swirling around the air, before stopping and look at him smiling "The most important thing for you is protecting your love ones right?" "..." She walk toward him and kneel down "Tell me which would you choose to save Nawin-kun... seven billion people or your love ones?".

"Why are you asking such stupid questions?" Nawin mutter not paying much attention while the girl just sighs and stand up "You're still naïve as always Nawin-kun... I thought you would have learned the lesson by now... after all it was because of you that Tomo was killed... because you decided to save someone else... you can't save all, because saving someone means you are not saving someone else...'

Nawin eyes slowly widen "I..." an image appears showing himself looking down at the blooded Akeno who looks up at sadly with tear dripping down her eyes, but what is most interesting is that there is some kind of weird glowing yellow pattern flowing around her body and face. Nawin holds the gun looking down at her blankly with tears flowing down his eyes "N-nawin-kun..." "I'm sorry, but you're not worth the entire HUMANITY!" she reaches her hands up "Bang!" The black haired empty his last bullet which pierce right through her head.

"UH!" Nawin eyes snap open and quickly look around to find himself up at the tree "Huh, huh, huh... it was just a dream" He mutter to himself taking a couple of deep breath. Nawin looks at his hand and clench it "I-it was just a d-dream..." he mutters again before slowly falling into slumber.

Time Skip: Morning

"Awwwwh!" Issei yawn loudly sitting on a log while taking a sip of hot tea "Thanks for the tea Akeno-san" "Mhm" She hums passing one to Rias who also thanks her then takes a seat opposite of the two. "What a nice morning not to hot or cold... just perfect" Akeno sighs peacefully while taking a sip of her own cup. "Seems like everyone is up" Nawin walk out from the bushes looking a bit dirty making him quickly dust his jacket "Where were you Nawin?" Issei ask "Just scanning the area don't want one of the mongrel's spies following us" he reply taking a seat next to Akeno.

"Why would they be following us?" Issei ask which no one reply making him even more curious, but a squeeze by the arm from Rias stop him. Nawin eyes narrow sensing a presence 'Behind' Akeno explode in golden lighting that speed into the bushes "Ahhh!" a figure wearing brown cloak fly out from the bushes.

The spy gets up and is greeted by dozens of shadow weapons pointing at him with Nawin standing in front of it arm cross looking at them displease "Mongrels like you aren't even worth a talk" he said firing a long sword at the spy's chest killing him instantly.

"Nawin!" Rias call out loud surprise at the black haired sudden action "Mhm" he dispels all the weapons and make way to the horses "We don't have time to stand here and chat, for all we know they may be more following him" he states. Akeno walk out from the bushes looking at her love with worry '... anything that relates to council seems to really make his blood boil, but why...'.

Time skip: On the Road

"Rias how far are we from Shigemi?" Issei ask bored looking at the endless road with lots of maintain spreading in the distance as they are currently passing through a forest "From what I'm seeing we have cover more than half of the grounds to Shigemi, so we will be there either midnight depending if you all want to keep traveling or tomorrow so we can set camp for tonight and rest" Rias reply staring at the map before looking up at the tall tress seeing small sunlight's shining down at them.

The three turn to Nawin who rides in front of them for the most of the journey "We keep moving... setting camp will just slow us down and gets us into more trouble than its worth" he replies without looking back. Rias place the map back in her chest making Issei look at her surprise "You've been keeping the map in your breast the whole time?!" he yells with a full blown blush appearing while Rias blinks "Yeah is there something wrong?" "Nope... not at all find it pretty attractive and cool" he comments shyly making her giggle "You can be adorable at times Issei" she grins pinching his cheek "Ow not so hard!".

Akeno smile at the two interaction then turn back to the Makasha "Huh" she sighs which he picks up and glance back at her "Akeno" Nawin calls out softly making the raven haired perk up and move her horse next to his "What's wrong?" he ask sending a glance at her, before looking back at the road "It's nothing just tired from the long journey" she reply not wanting to stress the black haired anymore.

Nawin didn't buy her reply "Akeno I'll say once more, what's wrong?" he asks though still in the usual soft tone making the Himejima know that he cares and in the mood to listen "... Well I'm just a bit sad we couldn't spend much time together again you know" she bring out then looks down a bit embarrass.

"I guess I can't blame you for feeling that after all you've been away for a while... huh I'm sorry for not spending time with you, but also that is one of the reason why I bought you here with me and Rias" Nawin said making Akeno perk up "I know we have a mission, but" he turns to her and smile "When we reach Shigemi and finished the mission, we can spend a day there and do whatever you want and I'll be there with you for a whole day... how does that sound?".

Akeno face break into a smile before nodding happily like a child making Nawin chuckle "Glad you like the plan" "Of course spending time with you and also exploring this so called magical place why wouldn't I love that" she replies with excitement. Nawin smile "You always know how to cheer me up Nawin-kun, I feel bad that I can't cheer you up as often as you do with me" she pouts.

Nawin place his hand on top of Akeno's head "You always cheer me up Akeno" he said making her look at him surprise "Spending time with you always brings me joy same goes with seeing that smile of yours" he replies making her smile "Like this?" Nawin brings his hand back and laugh lightly "Haha, yes like that though not too much it gets a bit creepy" he replies making Akeno giggle.

Rias smile seeing the two getting along great even after the past issues "Oh Nawin-kun I forgot to ask you something" she said making the black haired glance back at her "Go ahead" "Is your magic reserve replenish yet? Are you back to normal fighting condition even though we saw you took the spy down easily. I saw you were heavily breathing for a few minutes" she state a bit worry.

Nawin sighs "You notice huh... well truth be told for some strange reason my magic is taking a while to recharge probably because I've been using it way too much for a special spell that I had to use when I was out with Lucy" he comments "Spell?" Issei ask "Not right now Issei... it's a long story".

Nawin eyes narrow thinking about the mark 'It's been way too long now... my magic reserve is pathetic compare to, before when it equally matches a Satan, now it's only around high-class... could it be Ophis doing?' he notes before shaking his head 'Whatever I'll figure it out when arriving at Shigemi'.

Time Skip

"Umm Rias are you sure we took the right turn?" Issei question looking at an empty field cover in plain land that stretch for miles away where at the end is a gigantic extinct volcano that is so tall that it nearly reaches the clouds. Rias look at the map thoroughly "I'm positive this is the place" "Well a mile back there were two passaged and we took the left one... so is there a chance it could have been the right?" Akeno reply.

The three pause seeing Nawin get out of his horse "Yo Nawin what are you up to?" Issei ask, but receive no reply as the Makasha takes the necklace off and hold it in his right hand "This is supposed to be the key to enter Shigemi, so it can also show us the entrance!" Nawin hand burst in black aura then he throws the necklace to the air.

The three look in amaze seeing the necklace glow in a beautiful golden aura before firing a golden beam in front of the Makasha "Woah!" they whisper in awe seeing a golden door form as the necklace slowly fall down which Nawin catches and place it back around his neck "There we go" he states looking at the sparking golden door made of pure magic.

The three get off their horses and stop beside the Makasha "If I'm correct Issei you wouldn't be able to enter this... give it a try" he comments making the brown haired take a step forward to the door and reach his hand out. As the tip of Issei's finger touch the door he is immediately blast back by a powerful force coming from the door "I thought as much... from now on only myself and Rias can continue on, Issei and Akeno you two have to wait here for a while" Nawin state.

"Seriously? man this is annoying!" Issei gets up rubbing his right shoulder "That blast may have dislocated my shoulder" he winces making Nawin sighs who walk toward him and send a powerful palm to the Hyoudou shoulder "AHHH!" Issei scream falling to the ground holding his shoulder tightly "WHAT THE HELL TEME!".

Nawin ignores the Hyoudou and make his way back to the door "Stop being such a baby Issei, he just fixed your shoulder" Akeno comment annoy with all the yelling and not being grateful for the help the Makasha provide. Rias sighs seeing her best friend not getting along well with Issei at all 'Not much I can do right now might as well wait when we are done with the mission then I will resolve this' she notes.

Nawin turn to the Gremory "Come on Rias" "Right!" he then turns to the raven haired "Akeno be careful you hear? I don't know how long it will take us to open a gateway from the other side for you two, so be patient and watch out for any spies or enemy in the meantime" Akeno nod "I understand don't worry Nawin-kun" "Good and if there's a spy then kill them, we can't take risks" he replies though more like ordered.

"And Issei make sure you do your job instead of standing around like an idiot you hear" Nawin said making the brown haired glare at him "What makes you think I would do that!" "Mhm then show us that you aren't worthless in this mission then... that's the reason why I requested Sirzech to bring you along with us" Nawin reply surprising the Hyoudou.

"Nawin-kun we should move" Rias said making him nod "Let's enter at the same time Rias we don't want to risk getting lost" He said holding his hands up which she takes "Ok now" The two enter the portal at the same time making it compress into a small golden ball before shooting up the sky and vanish.

Unknown Location

"Ahhhh crap!" The two crash to the ground as a golden portal close in midair "Gezz Rias you're heavier than you look" Nawin comment looking at the crimson haired who is sitting on his stomach "Funny" Rias reply blankly getting up and helps him up as well.

The two feel a warm breeze passing by making them turn to see an amazing sight that shock the two to the core "U-unbelievable!" Rias mutter eyes widen same with the Makasha who is at a loss of words.

The two see a beautiful rich green field filled with vegetation and all kind of colorful flowers spreading beside the main dirt clean road, tall cloudy mountain with blue light shining on it making it looks like something out of a fantasy movie, small villages spread around the lands, clean crystal almost holy like river is place between the lands and the mountains with whales swimming up frequently, but the most shocking sight is in the center of the land there is a majestic large castle almost an old style kingdom place there taking about twenty percent of the medium size land.

"This is a-amazing... Onii-sama and Grayfia-sama wasn't exaggerating one bit... this place is breathtaking" Rias mutter then looks up the sky "Such a beautiful color sun... blue and it feel not too hot or cold just about the right temperature and instead of the sometime moody feel that Vesarima give, because of its purple sky this place is just so welcoming and colorful" she smiles looking at the beautiful blue clean sky.

"I have to agree with you... there's no word to describe the beauty of this land, hard to believe there could be trouble here" Nawin finally comment making the Gremory nod. After a minute of just starting at the beautiful view Nawin shake his head "Ok we should find the nearest town and ask around a bit, before we head to the castle" he said making Rias nod in agreement "Yes, it's not a good idea to just barge in to the queen palace and there may be a good chance we run into one of the castle knight that will escort us there".

Nawin smile "My thoughts exactly... now then let's move out of this hill and head down to a village right there" he points forward making Rias look to see a fairly large size village build above a lake "Seems like a peaceful and welcoming place" Rias comment "Mhm well let's move" "Right".

"But, before we go I should be dressed more appropriately!" Rias announce making Nawin turn to her "Yeah... I'm getting tired of seeing those Kuoh uniform" "That why you bought Akeno new clothes?" Rias ask blinking "Yes seeing her wearing that all the time quickly became dull" "Not sure if I would trust you with fashion advise" Rias comment dryly seeing the Makasha attire which is his usual combat clothes.

"I'm not dressing to look flashy, just what looks appropriate and allows me to move easily" Nawin reply "A jacket?" "Does it looks like it's made out of leather or any other heavy material?" "No" "Exactly I had Azazel custom made it for me from a friend of his, this medium length jacket is made of a special material that absorbs magic blast making its impact less painful and allows me to move freely like it's not even present" Nawin explain while the Gremory listen with interest.

"That why it's short sleeves?" "Yes" "Why do there need to be a skull buttons" Nawin eyebrow twitches he wouldn't admit it, but it feels like them two are arguing like siblings "Rias... just change already and stop commenting about my jacket" he sighs while Rias grins and flick her finger making her whole body glow brightly.

Nawin open his eyes to see Rias attire now consist of a white shirt with a red Gremory symbol necklace hanging on her neck, a black skirt that reach to her knees with a long black socks, long brown combat boots and to finish is a long red coat that is kept unbutton. Nawin raise an eyebrow "Not bad you actually look a bit more threatening and can be taken seriously now" he comments making Rias smile "Glad you like it you are one of the few peoples to see me in this attire only Akeno seen me worn this".

Nawin turn to his attention back to the village "Well then let's get a move on now that we're ready" he said begin walking down the grass hill with Rias following beside him "Nawin-kun if you don't mind me asking why are you being so tough on Issei?" she ask not being able to hold the question back "Huh simple I'm being tough on him, so he can get stronger... he out of everyone needs to gets stronger and become the strongest... if I have to make him hate me to reach that level then so be it" Nawin said in such an ominous way that it makes the Gremory heart freeze for a second making her stop and look at the Makasha with worry 'Nawin...'.

Nawin pause and turn back seeing Rias gripping her chest tightly making him a bit worry "You ok?" Rias blinks seeing the calm brown eyes of Nawin making her worry go away "Yeah, sorry about that" she replies releasing her grip and wipe the sweat from her forehead while the black haired nod "Well then let's move we shouldn't keep the other two waiting for too long" "Yeah alright...".
