Vol 2 Chapter 15: Never Anger a King
This title and song will make sense later.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Erebus: "This is rather.. interesting"
Ahri: "X?"
The rook was holding onto the last message that Amagi had left which Kaga had sacrificed herself to protect. From the letter, a flare had shot up that had a deeper meaning than what they knew.
Erebus let's go of Ahri and began to walk over to the still paralyzed knight.
Erebus: "You're going to tell me what you just did"
Eucliwood: "Di-!!"
Erebus' sword extended into Eucliwood's neck as he glared at her.
Erebus: "Hopefully that will shut that damn annoying power of yours for once"
As he pulled it back, not a wound was visible but Eucliwood understood what had happened. She had lost her voice.
Erebus: "Now tell me Arthur, what the hell did you do?"
He pulled her head back by the hair and noticed she was still in her illusion.
Erebus: "She never broke out? How did she-?"
Mordred: "LEAVE FATHER ALONE!!!"
She swung her sword at Erebus, but it simply went through his body and onto the ground.
Mordred: "Huh?!"
She was about to get cut down until Caenis tackled her away.
Erebus: "Caenis? What are you doing protecting the enemy?"
Caenis: "I don't wish to protect anybody. I just want to make a proposition to this one"
Mordred: "Me?"
Caenis had pinned Mordred down to the ground with both hands over her head while Erebus stood in confusion but let her continue.
Caenis: "Just give up. I promise not to hurt any of your friends and that arrogant king of yours if you do that for me"
Ahri: "What?!"
Caenis: "I want you Mordred. That vigor when you fight"
She ran her finger down Mordred's chest, squeezing her breast which made the female knight jump a little and made her turn a little red. She continued down the trail until she reached Mordred's belly button with a grin. Her eyes were full of lust for the knight that she had almost forgotten where she was at.
Erebus: "*sighs* Another girl you harrass now"
Caenis: "SHUT IT!! Come on Mordred, Be mine~ I promise to kill that idiot Jason if he does anything to you that you don't like"
She begins to lean in while Mordred seemed unfazed.
Caenis: "What do you say~?"
Mordred: "I already offered myself to my King. I do not go back on my word as a knight. My body and soul are his to do with as he pleases"
Caenis: "His huh?.. hehehe.. DAMN THAT GOLDEN FUCK!!!"
She punches the ground near Mordred's face with anger but still smirking.
Erebus: "HAHAHA!!! You just got rejected you gorilla of a woman!!"
Caenis: ".. Then if you won't chose to be mine, I'll just make you mine~!!"
She uses her free hand and begins choking Mordred.
Mordred: "Kh.. Cl.. Cl-!!"
Caenis: "I'll end this here now, and I'll come back after your ass once we dispatch that king of yours~"
Mordred: "CLARENT!!"
A beam fires from her sword straight through Erebus' chest.
Erebus: "Did you not learn from your previous attack-?"
X: "Caliburn!!"
The sword of light smacked him across the chest and flung him back.
Erebus: "How *cough* How did you hit me?!"
X: "My sword of light will strike even shadows. Your darkness means nothing to my sword of victory"
Caenis: "Int-"
Eucliwood lands a drop kick to her side which moved her slightly, but enough for Mordred to remove the Greek warrior from her.
Mordred: "Thanks"
Eu nods while taking her scythe out.
Ahri: "Healing EX"
Every ally senses a warm sensation along with their wounds cured. Strangely, the wounds created from Erebus' sword and arrows were not healing.
Ahri: "I'm guessing they are cursed with something from that person.. I think I might be able to fix it? Guys, I won't be able to move so providing you all with buffs and healing will be all I can do"
X: "We'll take care of the rest then"
She held onto her stomach as the wound didn't heal but thanks to Ahri's magic, it was being held in place.
Caenis: "Erebus, these two are mine-"
The two were suddenly encased in a powerful, golden barrier.
Ahri: "You three go on.. I'm not sure how long I'll be able to hold them inside"
X: "We can-"
Ahri: "That wasn't the plan!!! Amagi set it up already. Our job is to follow our master tactician's best route to victory"
Mordred: "I hate it so much but she has a point.."
X was annoyed at leaving but understood that their best option of winning was still a bit away.
X: "Sometimes, you have to swallow your pride when it comes to doing something for the betterment of everyone.. Mordred, Eucliwood, let's go"
Mordred: "What about Ahri-?"
Ahri: "I need to be here to hold them in place. I also can't move as it is. Those spells I placed on you guys is the last bit I can do before my mana dries up once more. As far as I can tell, I'll be eliminated soon. You all, take care"
Eucliwood ran up and gave the fox a hug before going over to the rest. Ahri looks at Eucliwood and gives her a small smile as the queen turns, sadden at having to leave someone behind.
Ahri: "Mordred, every sacrifice has meaning. Nobody has lost for no reason. They all knew what has to be done and would all do it the same way"
Mordred: ".. I got it. I'll be treating you to something once we get out, okay?"
Ahri: "I'll take you up on that offer"
They take off as Ahri's exhaustion started to overwhelm her a bit.
Caenis: "You can't contain us for much longer. I will get out and when I do, I'm going to destroy you"
Erebus: "I'll make sure it'll be painful and long lasting"
Ahri: "I'm sure you will.. but every second you spend with me, is a second longer they get to reach him"
The barrier slowly started to weaken as the Bishop fox tried her best to keep it up.
Ahri: "Just.. a little.. long-"
A spear shot out from her shadow and through her neck. It went back in as she still held her ground.
Erebus: "You let up for a bit, that was enough for me to use my darkness to mute you for now. No more little tricks of yours"
Caenis broke free from her cage as the two slowly walked up to the injured Ahri who had no mana left. She smirked and looked up at the two Greeks as she attempted to stand up despite her achillies tendons being cut from both legs.
Caenis: "As I said, I'm going to enjoy kicking your ass"
Erebus: "We don't care as much about them leaving, the rest are there. You should be worried about yourself though.. here let me help you out a bit"
Spear from her shadow shoot up and pierce body so that she can stand up.
Caenis: "Trust me little fox, we aren't going to let make this fast~"
She walked up to Ahri with her spear while using it to slowly cut her arms with the edge. Ahri groaned in pain but still didn't let up that smirk she had.
Caenis: "I'm going to make sure I get rid of that little smug smile of yours"
Erebus: "Let this torture begin"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
X: "It's up ahead"
As they close in, they see a figure up above the trees.
Mordred: "MASTER!!!"
She said happily while speeding up a little.
X: "Stay near us!!! The enemy is around us"
She narrowly avoids an arrow to the face by blocking it with Clarent. The three continue regardless of the incoming barrage of arrows from their enemies.
X: "Master!!"
They arrive at the building they started from as their king sits on top of the roof.
Heracles: "You've arrived. I commend your strength"
Heracles was the first of the God team to come out.
X: "How many of you are there?"
??: "Why would we say a thing to you?"
From behind Heracles, a shorter girl arrived with a smug smile.
Nyx: "I am Nyx, Goddess of the Night"
Mordred: "I can sense the rest. They're coming out"
A figure peared out and slowly made it's way towards the smaller girl. He had no visible face just like Erebus before but didn't recreate a face for himself.
Thanatos: "I am Thanatos. The strongest grim reaper and child of the goddess Nyx. I shall be your opponent"
Artemis: "Artemis, Goddess of the Moon. It seems I too will be your opponent"
The last two came out on their own and paid no attention to the pieces in front of them. Rather, they had their eyes on the King instead.
Ares: "None of you intrigue me but I'll give you my name as a warning. I am Ares, God of War"
Athena: "And I am Athena, Goddess of Wisdom"
The three were surrounded by a God from each direction.
X: "Who's the king piece?"
Mordred: "It could be Ares or even Athena"
X: "We need to hold them off until the other two show up"
Heracles: "Shall we begin where we left off Arthur?"
Mordred: "This is about to sound stupid.. you take two, Eucliwood takes another two, I'll take on the remaining two"
As the trio spreads out, the gods divide themselves just as Mordred spoke. On X's side, Heracles and Artemis stood with their weapons in hand.
Heracles: "Goddess of the Moon"
Artemis: "Son of Zeus"
They lightly bow to each other as X brings out Excalibur and Caliburn.
X: "Well this'll be tough"
With Eucliwood, Thanatos and Nyx stood as they begin to get closer.
Nyx: "So you're the one that Hades wants? To think he'd call me and my brother to come after you. Even more, to bring one of my strongest creations with me"
Thanatos: "I shall not disappoint Mother"
Nyx: "Neither will I~"
The last two, Athena and Ares had already made their way towards Mordred as she senses their combined, immense divine auras.
Athena: "You're the one who took out Apollon? Impressive, knight"
Ares: "Asclepious wasn't anything too special. It was to be expected by a fellow warrior"
Mordred looks up at her master who had his eyes closed.
Mordred: "I'm going to trust his word"
The L/n peerage begin walking towards their opponents, rushing at them after a few steps.
X: "DON'T FALTER!!!"
Heracles: "ARTHUR!!!"
Artemis: "I'll protect your back boy"
Heracles: "I thank you goddess of victory!!"
The two clash weapons as Artemis pulls the string back with the arrow pointed straight at the Rook.
Artemis: "I must protect that child.. Zeus, have you even noticed how much of a warrior he has become?"
Mordred: "Damn?!"
Mordred blocked Ares' attack but struggled to stay on her feet from the power behind it.
Ares: "What happened to all that talk?"
Athena: "I'll aid you"
Athena appeared from behind and nearly struck Mordred until she dodged last second.
Mordred: "CLARENT BLOOD ARTHUR!!!"
She brings down the Noble Phantasm onto the two but Athena steps up.
Arthur: "Shield of Olympus"
Her shield blocks the attack, holding it up while Ares rushes underneath it.
Ares: "I AM THE GOD OF WAR!!!"
His sword cuts Mordred's beam as he heads in for the kill.
Mordred: "He destroyed it?!"
She swings her sword at Ares and lands an attack directly to his chest, but the God quickly turned and landed a counter blow to her back.
Mordred: "AAAAHHH!!!"
Ares: "This wound. I'll give you a little intel since you've survived longer than I expected. The more I fight, the more wounds I get. The stronger my body gets"
He smiles to himself as his eyes shine bright red.
Ares: "COME AT ME WITH ALL YOU GOT KNIGHT!!!!"
Mordred: "Dammit"
Thanatos: "I'll steal you away"
He swings his scythe which cuts a hole in the space between Eucliwood and himself.
Thanatos: "Dodge all you want, I'll catch you regardless"
He stuck his hand through the hole and grabbed Eucliwood by the neck. He pulled her through it and was now directly infront of the two allies of Hades.
Thanatos: "Father did a good job at sealing her voice. Shall we take off Moth-"
A golden sword shot out and nearly impaled his face as the King glared at the Grim Reaper.
Nyx: "Now, now child. We cannot just take her. We must follow the rules or we'll end up facing the wrath of a man who even death itself fears"
Thanatos: "Very well then mother. Excuse my idiotic actions. I'll do as the competition says then"
Eucliwood swings her scythe but Nyx blocks it with the tip of her fingernail.
Nyx: "As I suspected. A virgin aren't we~?"
She pointed her finger towards Eucliwood's stomach and smiled slyly.
Nyx: "Unfortunately, we have to hurt you so you can be eliminated in order to take you to Hades. You could of quit earlier but now I have to do this"
She fired off several dark bullets to Eucliwood's stomach from her finger.
Nyx: "HAHAHA!!! I'm kinda enjoying this!!!"
Blood started to shoot out from Eucliwood's mouth as she tries her best to free herself from Thanatos' grip.
Thanatos: "Mother, remember the deal. She still has to survive-"
Nyx: "I know. I'm only bullying her a little~"
X: "Let her go!!"
X tried to interfere but Heracles fires multiple arrows at her back. She almost fell but continued to fight through it.
Heracles: "Arthur?"
Artemis: "I'll take care of her"
She had her arrow pointed straight at her head. Artemis took a deep breath before letting it fly.
Mordred: "FATHER-!!"
X quickly turned around and met the arrow straight on with Excalibur. The power behind the attack was enough to push X back until she flung it away.
Mordred: "MASTER, We need instructions!!!"
She looked up hoping to find an answer.
Mordred: "MASTER-!!"
Y/n opened his eyes and looked down. He opened his mouth, about to speak out until he was interrupted.
X: "Stop!! Dont say a thing!!! This is our battle!!! This was part of the plan.. I have to get to-"
She was stopped as the arrow had turned around and hit her directly in the middle of her chest.
Mordred: "FATHER!!!"
Ares: "DON'T IGNORE ME!!!"
Ares punched Mordred in the face and sent her through the building as his anger grew.
Ares: "Who do you think you are to ignore the God of War?!"
X was still standing while her body was in shock at trying to process what happened.
Heracles: "You see the carnage happening before you. Tell me, what will you do now Y/n?"
He looks up to see the Prince of Heroes with his eyes now closed and not doing a thing to help out.
Heracles: "Do you not care what happens to them?!"
Artemis: "I heard he struck a deal with Zeus. He will not intervene-"
Heracles: "I know about the deal. I wanted to see the type of man he is. Would he honor his deal or protect those he holds dear? But I see he sees them as mere tools"
Artemis: "I get that you feel that way but you must understand child-"
Heracles: "I will defeat him myself"
Y/n could hear what the young greek hero had to say but chose not to respond. He remained quiet and concentrated as he sensed two entities approaching the chaos.
Nyx: "Brother?"
Erebus: "I've arrived little sister"
Nyx: "I see you've brought your little pet dog with you"
Caenis: "What did you just call me?!"
The two made it towards the group and noticed just how battered team L/n-Gilgamesh was.
Caenis: "How disappointing. Well, I don't really give a shit. I'll be taking Mordred with me once this is over"
Erebus: "As we'll be taking this one with us"
He says as he caresses Eucliwood's face. She was nearly unconscious as Nyx's barrage of black bullets broke through her barrier and hit her several times.
Erebus: "A cute one isn't she?"
Nyx: "Indeed. Makes me almost not want to give her up to Hades and keep her as my own~"
Erebus: "If that's what my beautiful little sister want-"
A beam of light strikes Erebus across the face and severely damaged Thanatos' hand.
Nyx: "BROTHER!!!"
Caenis quickly went over to the culprit, X, and drove her spear through her stomach.
Erebus: "Caenis. Bring her to me"
Caenis: "I don't follow your order-"
Multiple hands appeared from her shadow that grabbed Caenis by the legs and dragged her over to Erebus.
Erebus: "I said. BRING HER TO ME!!!"
He shoves her away as he grabbed X by the neck. Nyx and Thanatos held her arms and legs so that she couldn't attack the dark God.
Erebus: "You..!!"
He began to tighten his grip as she looked down to Eucliwood who slowly began to get up.
X: "You.. two.. are all.. we have left!!"
She flicked her wrist and threw Excalibur at her.
X: "The.. Plan!!'"
Eucliwood grabbed the sword by the hilt and tried to save the knight but she managed to free herself enough to push her away.
X: "GO!!"
Erebus: "ENOUGH!!"
Several spears of darkness flew up from her shadow and impaled X up in the sky.
X: "Eu.. run"
Her body began to glow as Eucliwood turned and ran.
Erebus: "Where do you think you're going?"
Hands shoot up from beneath her and grab her ankles. She could no longer move as everyone began to surround her.
Announcer: "L/n Rook. Eliminated"
Ares: "And then there was one"
They all made a circle around her as she held Excalibur infront of her.
Erebus: "Go on, try to do something"
Heracles would sneak glances up to see that the King of Kuoh would continue to not make a move.
Heracles: "Come on.. do something"
Artemis overheard the boy and sadly smiled as she knew how good of a heart he had.
Ares: "How about we end this already?"
Nyx: "I agree"
Thanatos: "As you wish mother"
Caenis: "I've been itching to handle this one"
They all took one step closer as Eucliwood looked around in a panic. Suddenly, a shadow flew from the sky and landed in the middle.
Ares: "Oh? I thought you were out of the game already"
Mordred: "*cough* As if.. Bastard"
She was pretty beat up from being flung through multiple walls but remained up.
Mordred: "Eu-"
She sensed a hand on her forearm as Eucliwood looked up at her.
Mordred: ".. Is everyone here?"
She responded with a nod while the knight looked around.
Mordred: ".. You know.. I really hate this plan.. but I also recognize it's the best we got.. We gave them a good run huh?"
She grinned in defeat while patting Eucliwood's head.
Ares: "What the hell are they talking about?"
Mordred dropped down to a knee while the two use each other to stay upright.
Mordred: "We give up"
Artemis: "What?!"
Announcer: "L/n Knight, L/n Queen. Retreated from combat"
The two slowly begin to glow and disappear while looking up.
Mordred: "Just like Amagi said"
With those final words, the two disappeared.
Nyx: "We were tricked?!"
The gods suddenly hear the sound of the golden armor approaching them as Y/n slowly descended from golden portals whenever he took a step down.
Ares: "Here he comes"
Ares was excited as the King didn't say a word. He simply wore an emotionless expression as he looked down at his enemies. Y/n then stopped after a few steps and remained above them with his arms crossed.
Y/n: "I want to thank you all for your help"
Heracles: "Huh?"
Y/n: "Because of this battle, you've now shaken the fear of battling gods out of my peerage.. that being said"
With a powerful glare that pierced through every god's barrier.
Y/n: "The way you all enjoyed torturing them.. has angered me far beyond what I could possibly handle. I apologize to you who had mercy on them.. but I'll be taking out all my anger on you as well"
Athena: "We were lured here!!"
Erebus: "He won't do a thing"
They all turned to the God of Darkness who was chuckling to himself.
Erebus: "Isn't that right Caenis?"
Caenis: "For once, I have to agree with you"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Issei: "What is he talking about?"
The rest of the group were curious as to what he was referring to until Azazel popped his head in.
Azazel: "Wait a minute.. When did they announce Ahri being defeated?"
They all quickly turned to the general of the Fallen Angels.
Rias: "He has a point.. I never heard or saw it"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Erebus: "Let me show you what I mean~"
He steps back as a cross with Ahri impaled to it pops up from his shadow.
Heracles: "What kind of sick joke is this?!"
Artemis held back Heracles who was furious by his teammate's actions.
Erebus: "Tell me Y/n, do you recognize who this is?"
Ahri was being held up with multiple gashes and wounds to her body. Her left ear was barely hanging on as one of her eyes looked to have been gouged out. Ontop of that, one of her tails was missing and her fingernails were all pulled out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Asia covered her mouth, trying her best not to throw up from the scene as Xenovia held onto her.
Rias: "I know that no wounds are permanent in the Rating Game.. but the pain still lingers"
Issei punches the wall next to him in anger.
Issei: "What the hell is his problem?!"
Kiba: "Ahri"
Sirzechs: "That was uncalled for"
Azazel: "To think that she endured all of that and still is there, participating"
He looked away as they hear the sound of a cup breaking.
Nobu: "Remind me.."
She rises to her feet while staring straight at Erebus with murderous intent.
Nobu: "Remind me to kill that bastard in the most horrendous and painful way possible.."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Erebus: "Here little fox, why don't you tell your master how we brutally hurt you ey~? Tell him how much pain you were in and how much you screamed inside your head because I cut your ability to talk"
He grabbed her by the jaw and had her look up at him. He let go but her head fell back which annoyed him.
Erebus: "Here, let me lend you a hand~"
He grabbed her by her other ear and hair, pulling it back as hard as he can.
Erebus: "What's that? He can't do anything because of his agreement? You're right~ Why don't we show him what happend to you because he refused to summit shall we?"
He dug his finger into a hole in her stomach which Athena cringed at and turned away. Ahri twisted in pain while Erebus enjoyed every moment.
Heracles: "LEAVE HER ALONE ALREADY!!"
Artemis: "Heracles!!"
Caenis: "Pipe down daddy's boy"
Artemis could sense a dark aura surrounding Y/n as he still complied with the agreement.
Heracles: "Y/N!! Forget the agreement!!"
Artemis: "Don't you get it? That's what Erebus is trying to do. He knows that no matter how much damage Y/n puts him through, he will still be alive after the game has ended. On top of that, Y/n would of forfeited, meaning he'd lose his peerage members that were on the line"
Heracles: "But still.."
Erebus: "This is what happens little fox. This is what happens when mere mortals attempt to oppose the gods"
Ahri slowly began to look at her master and smiled despite the amount of pain she was going through. Y/n did not show any anger but the strong aura was being felt by everyone in the arena.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Issei: "I can feel his anger. This feeling.. is terrifying"
Even Vali, who was normally calm and cool, was shaking from the aura Y/n was giving off despite the protective barrier that was supposed to guard them from any harm.
Xenovia: "This feeling.. is heavy. It's so strong that it knocked out Asia unconscious"
Koneko: "I don't know how I'm even still awake at the moment?!"
Rias: "Give them hell Y/n"
Kiba: "They are about to know what the embodiment of absolute anger is"
Sirzechs: "Aren't we lucky to have befriended him?"
Sirzechs says to his wife while wiping the nervous sweat beads from his forehead.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Erebus: "Oh? Want to say something to your master~? Remember what happened-?"
Ahri: "Ma... ster"
Her body began to glow which terrified Erebus to the soul.
Erebus: "What?! No. Don't you dare leave-!!"
Ahri: "I.. lov.. you"
Tears ran down her face as she comtinued to smile through it all until she finally disappeared.
Announcer: "L/n Bishop. Eliminated. With all L/n peerage members eliminated. L/n King is allowed to enter the battle"
Ares: "Oh shit. EVERYONE, USE EVERY SPELL AND POWERFUL MAGIC YOU HAVE IMMEDIATELY!!!"
Erebus: "How was she able to speak?"
Erebus was trembling as the only chip he had to keep Y/n at bay was gone.
Erebus: "When did-?"
He suddenly remembered something that troubled him slightly. It was in the moment of Eucliwood and Ahri hugging.
Erebus: ".. No way"
Y/n opened his arms to reveal multiple Command Seals on his body. As soon as his arms reached his side, they all began to fade, charging his body with massive amounts of mana.
Y/n: "If I was angry then?... I am beyond that now"
He took one step forward which shook everyone in the stadium to the core.
Y/n: "You've made me furious now.."
Y/n: "Mongrel.."
