Open Portals
"This is not good." Azazel stated, though it was quite obvious how serious the situation was.
"Whomever is causing this must have a great level of power. To be able to enter and exit Gahenna so freely. To be able to open portals to so many other dimensions. What being could've caused this? The only one with such level of abilities is well, you Father." Astaroth said.
Rin and Amaimon had immediately reported the situation to Satan just as they were supposed to if a problem were to occur. All demon kings, except Samael, were gathered in the study hall of Satan's palace to discuss the situation and how they were going to address it.
"So, father what shall we do?"
"You guys are clever and old enough to figure this out on your own, I have more important matters to tend to."
"More important than this?! What could possibly be more important father? This could be a threat to all of Gahenna and many other realms! How could you just-!" Lucifer started.
"SiLeNCe!!" Satan yelled with his booming echoey demonic voice. "How dare you speak to me that way! You ought to be punished for such disrespectful behaviour. One more outburst and it's 12 years of torture in the dungeon for you!"
Lucifer grumbled but didn't dare speak.
Satan got up from his seat and walked towards the large double doors. "Well, I wish you luck with this one. You may need it in this case, good day."
The demon kings stared at him in disbelief, he was leaving them to do this on their own. I mean, they were demon kings who have been alive for eons, but still they would have to figure this out with no help from their all powerful all knowing Father.
"So, what are we going to do?" Rin asked, he was the only one allowed to act totally lost since he was the youngest. He was only 257 years old, everyone else had to set an example and act as if they knew what they were doing.
"I say we guard the portals, and wait to see what comes out of them." Beelzebub said.
"That's a stupid idea! I'm not gonna waste time standing in front of a bunch of portals wait to see what goes through them! I'm a busy person, I have things to get done!" Iblis said crossing his arms.
"Well I doubt you could come up with something better!" Beele argued back.
"Of course I can."
"Oh yeah, shoot." He said with sass. Iblis grumbled.
"I'm not hearing anything."
"Why you-!" The too argued while Astaroth and Egyn tried to break them up. Azazel simply observed not willing to get involved with their stupid fights and Lucifer was pinching the bridge of his nose annoyed.
Amaimon was floating cross-legged near where Rin sat.
"Why don't we each go through the portals to see which dimension they lead to, and perhaps search for the one who opened the portals. We also need to figure out how they are able to open the portals, if they are using magic." Rin voiced his idea. "Then if we gather any information we can report back to each other."
They all looked back at him.
"That...isn't such a bad idea." Iblis said shocked, which is saying something because he never admits to other being better than he is. Rin smiled proudly.
"Alright then, we're going with Rin's plan, let's decide who takes each portal."
~*~*~*~*~
The demon kings gathered around the portal, standing in front of each one. Iblis would take the red and dark purple portal. Astaroth would take the brown and yellow portal. Beele was taking the dark green and brown portal. Azazel was taking white and iridescent portal, Egyn was taking the two blue portals. Lucifer took the orange and purple shimmery portal. And Amaimon stood I front of the lighter green portal.
"Ready?" Egyn asked the others, they nodded. "Alright." They all stepped through the portals. Rin was about to go through when a hand on his shoulder yanked him backwards.
"Wha-!?"
"Where do you think you're going young man?" He turned his head to see the one and only Satan standing tall right behind him.
"D-dad?" He asked.
"I told you specifically that you are never to leave this dimension. EVER." His glare piercing and cold.
"But-"
"No buts. You're not leaving, you're going back to your palace and continuing with your duties." He started pulling him towards his kingdom.
"No!" He pulled himself away from his strong grip.
"No?" A fire lit behind his eyes.
"Father. I'm not the same child I was years ago. I've grown, I'm much stronger now. You should know, you trained me yourself." Satan was about to say something before Rin cut him off. "If I go through this portal, it's only to complete a mission. Then I'll come right back. I took an oath, I have a kingdom to rule and people to serve. I am loyal to Gahenna, you believe me right?"
"Rin." He closed his eyed taking a breath. "The human's kept me from you for 15 years. I missed your entire childhood."
"Um- don't mind me prying, but didn't you miss out on most of my brothers childhoods too?" He flinched thinking Satan would react badly to the question.
"That is true. But I'm not the exact same person I was years ago. I've...learned. Your mother taught me many things. About life, and death, and growing. Demons have no concept of such things, we don't die or grow...after a certain point that is. You're different, you're..part human, or at least you were. This was going to be different, but instead the humans got in the way...and I missed everything." He said clenching his jaw and fist. I know you are loyal to us, and that you won't try to run away, but who's to say that you won't be kept away by other beings." He let out a sigh, looking back at his son. "Fine, I'll allow you to go, but only if you promise to return after the mission." Rin smiled. "And as long as you take Amaimon with you."
"Huh?" Amaimon asked looking back at them, he had one leg through the portal ready to leave.
"You and Rin are going on this mission together. He's your younger brother, you're to keep an eye on him." He said with a serious look.
"...alright, come on Rin." He responded, not even complaining. "At least now it won't be super boring since you're coming with me." Rin smiled and walked towards the portal. Just before stepping through he turned back towards Satan.
"Bye dad. And thank you." And with that, he left.
Satan stood there staring at the portal.
"Aww, how touching. You had a father son bonding moment."
"Gahh!" He yelled. "For love of all things evil, woman, you nearly scared me out of my skin!" There his wife stood snickering.
"Hehehe, not even you foresaw me sneaking up on you. I'm just that good." Satan had his hand clutching his chest calming himself down, he hasn't been that surprised since...well...ever.
"That was adorable though. You're taking my advise and bonding with your son. I'm so proud."
"Let's just go back to the castle." He said not amused.
*~*~*~*
Amaimon and Rin stepped out of the portal. They looked around at their surroundings.
"This place looks oddly familiar." Rin said, they appeared to be in the middle of the woods, but it was bright out, and the ground was covered in blush green grass. Amaimon stood next to Rin.
"Yeah."
They heard the sounds of birds chirping, and a caterpillar crawled on a near by tree.
"Wait a minute...." It all clicked in. He let out a gasp. "We're in-"
"Assiah." They both said in unison.
~*~*~*~
~2 years later~
It had been two years since the disappearance of Rin and things had renamed the same. Exorcists were sent on search parties to look for him and capture him to throw him into prison. There was still very low level of magic and low demon activity. The cram school students had lost all hope of their missing friend from returning. Konekomaru's anxieties had lessened since there was a low possibility of the son of Satan coming back. Yukio still seemed not to care about his brothers disappearance, but did seem to be agitated when the subject was brought up. And had a slight guilty look when Izumo brought up how badly he treated Rin while he was still here.
The students were no longer ex-wires, they now obtained higher ranks, though then we're still going through training at the cram school. And now the exorcists have gained new technology and weapons to fight demons with.
Yukio Okumura was in the middle of a lesson about how to fight against and repel high level poltergeists when he suddenly received a phone call. He picked up his phone call and saw it was from the exorcists head office
"A call in the middle of a lesson, must be important." He answered the phone called. "Okumura speaking...uh huh...is that so? ...I see....right now? I'm in the middle of an important lesson......alright, I'll be right there....thank you." He hung up the phone.
"Is everything alright Yuki?" Shiemi asked tilting her head innocently.
"There's a very important meeting at the head office. I need to go. The lesson is over for today. Please read up the rest of chapter 11 and finish all the questions for tomorrow, your test is still next week Tuesday." He said grabbing his things and going.
*~*~*~*~*
Yukio speed walked into the head office, all the exorcists of the Japan division were gathered having heated discussions.
"I'm here, sorry I'm late there was traffic and I was only notified in such short notice."
"It's alright, you're just in time." An elder member said.
"What seems to be the problem?" Yukio asked professionally.
"Come," he walked over to the board. "There is very night demonic activity happening in this location." The woman said pointing at the board. "The most there has been in the past 2 years. It is unlike any other we have seen, even higher than the energy given off by the impure king in Kyoto."
"This isn't good, do you have any idea what it's being caused by?"
"We have reports of two beast-like beings wandering through town near Tokyo."
"Beast like being?" Yukio said adjusting his glasses, giving off a glint of light. "Who are giving off high demonic energy. They must be high ranked demons who found there way into Assiah. We need to locate them and put them down."
"That will not be necessary."
"Sir Pheles!" Said Shura Kirigakure.
"What do you mean it will not be necessary?"
"I mean, do not worry about it, I'll handle them." He said with mischievous.
"But sir Pheles, two high ranked beings wandering through town and you want us to do nothing. That's putting every body in that village at risk!" Yukio said enraged, but trying not to let it all show.
"Just because they are high ranked doesn't mean they are totally unstable and pose a threat. I'll take care of the two, no ifs ands or buts. Just leave it all to me." He said turning in his heel walking out the door, everyone else gave him incredulous looks.
"Looks as if you have returned sooner than I though little brother. No matter though, the outcome will still be very entertaining. I guess it is time for a little reunion." Mephisto said with a wicked smile smile back towards True Cross Acadamy."
Two chapters in one day! HELL YEAH!!
