A few nights after Daniel left to find Einz, Asriel floats above a group of scaffolding with Azazel as another being joins them one who Asriel keeps a far keener eye on than usual.

"You're late. What were you doing?" Asriel turns fully to Vali.

"I suspect you'll want me to attend that boring meeting with you tomorrow, won't you?"

Azazel nods. "That's right, Vali, answer Asriel."

Vali scoffs. "I was training."

"I didn't think you'd need to train. Oh well. After all, you are the White Dragon Emperor."

Vali turns back to Azazel. "So, Azazel. What are the odds that we all go to war again?"

"Heh. Exactly what I'd expect from the mouth of the White Dragon. Are you trying to live fast and die young?"

"Why not? There's no point to anything anymore. I hate this place. I hate this era my birth thrust me into. A world where God is dead and the only being on par refuses to fight me."

Asriel sighs, lowering himself onto a bar, his golden wings reverting to their black color. "There's no point to fighting without good cause. In all my years that's something I was forced to learn." Asriel speaks, acknowledging Vali's words he looks forlornly to the clouds. "Simply fighting to fight stronger opponents, that's a write off of a reason. If there is a fight, it should be to protect others."

Vali scoffs. "This coming from a Fallen Angel."

"We don't all fall for the same reasons. Besides, you have no idea how easy to frame someone is when you're trusted by everyone. Heh, but, you're the Vanishing Dragon, all right."

"There's nothing left on this boring world to interest me."

Asriel looks at a watch on his wrist. "Either way, it's tomorrow and Star still isn't back."

Azazel hums. "Tia said he went looking for Einz, yes?"

"That's correct. If I know him he's probably training them. Einz has a great deal of respect for Daniel, though, he calls him Ian, don't know why, honestly."

"Well, that's interesting, would you care to investigate it?"

"No, not him, he'll make him fashionably late."

Azazel glances to Asriel. "You have that much faith in him?"

Asriel nods. "Of course, the brothers, Einz and Style, both of them."

Azazel hums. "I see. "

The following night Asriel stands with Vali, Raynare, and Crystal behind Azazel, as around them are Sir Zechs with Grayfia, and the Sitri's peerage behind him, Serafall Leviathan, Micheal the archangel, Irina, and finally Tia representing Daniel with her daughters, and some of his friends behind her. As before Rias arrives Asriel decides to speak breaking the silence.

"So, is everyone comfortable?"

Azazel chuckles. "Well, I am."

Tia smiles softly placing her hands on the table. "Yes, it is quite pleasant to see you all again. Asriel, a pleasure to see you today. And my if that isn't little Sirzy and little miss Levia."

Sir Zechs sighs. "Tia."

Serafall smiles. "Hello, Miss Young. You haven't aged a day from when we last saw you."

"Having your body placed under a spell that stops one from aging while in a coma certainly helps." She says glancing at Asriel who smirks and rolls his eyes.

"I said I'm sorry. Beside I didn't even do the spell."

"But you were complacent in it happening."

Asriel scoffs. "As were you."

Tia hums. "Touché."

Asriel then turns to Sir Sechs and Serafall with a bemused smile. "Zechs, Serafall, nice to finally put a face to those names."

"It's Sir Zechs."

"Kid, when you're my age, there's no such thing as Sir, or Ma'am. Though, I'm a little feisty tonight, not because of you, but because of..." He stops looks to Micheal as Tia rolls her eyes and follows his gaze, meanwhile Sir Zechs and Serafall follow it to Micheal, as Azazel closes his eyes knowing what's coming next. "...You."

Micheal breathes out through his nose. "Yes, how wonderful it is to see you again, Asriel." The sarcasm is blatant.

"Of course it is. How long has it been since the fight?"

"Over a thousand years."

"You don't look a day over twenty."

"And you look as finely dressed as ever."

"Of course, only the best."

Everyone silences as Rias arrives with her peerage, Sona stands with Tsubaki, and Tsubasa standing there as well. As they enter Irina peers through them seemingly confused as to where Xenovia is as Tia addresses her.

"If your looking for the blue haired girl you came here with, she's with Daniel currently in the Yukon."

Micheal perks up at that. "If I may ask, why is he there?"

Azazel sighs. "Daniel Star received word recently to locate and find Einz Kael. All we know is that rumors are that The Black Jackal is working with Einz's brother Style Kael And they attacked the Phoenix Manor taking Asagi Phoenix, his fiancé Enya Mankoi, And his friend Joel Grant, whilst subsequently killing several members of Riser Phoenix's peerage, as well as Damiean Yasahiro from Asagi's. Most of this knowledge comes to us from Crystal and Raynare here who were there during the fighting."

Everyone glances at Crystal who's look harden and her breathing becomes somewhat shaky when Raynare grabs her hand in a show of solidarity between the two.

Asriel nods. "And since this attack happened in the immediate aftermath of the battle with Kokabiel, no one bothered to notice it until Daniel was notified and he made a fuss about finding Asagi."

Tia nods. "Yes, and while Daniel is not here, I will represent him in his stead."

Azazel crosses his arms nodding. "I'm fine with that."

Micheal nods as well. "Yes, as am I."

Serafall nods smiling happily. "Agreed."

Sir Zechs speaks looking around two everyone. "Now that all the representatives are present, let the summit commence."

Asriel leans against the wall and closes his eyes falling asleep for a bit until he's awoken sensing a being approach from outside the city, five beings specifically.

"That will be all. Thank you very much." Sir Zechs thanks Rias & Sona for their renditions of the encounter with Kokabiel.

"Great job ladies. You make me so proud, Sona."

"Perhaps the Governor-General Of the Fallen Angels would care to share his opinion on their report?" Sir Zechs stares at Azazel.

"Kokabiel went rogue. Therefore my thoughts on the incident are irrelevant."

"So he acted entirely on his own?"

"I'm not so sure on that. It is entirely possible he is in cohorts with others. However, without us being able to question him we have no way to validate this hypothesis."

"Well he never had my permission if that's what you're asking. But something tells me the damn fool wouldn't have tried to destroy the whole town if he knew I was staying here. I've grown quite fond of this quaint little place."

Sir Zechs rolls his eyes. "Try and stay on topic, if you please."

"I sent Asagi, Asriel, and the White Dragon Emperor in to resolve the issue. And the culprit is frozen stiff in the lowest level of Hell. He won't bother you again."

Micheal nods. "What I find most troubling about the attack itself is his motivations. It seems that he was rather dissatisfied with the status quo."

Azazel hums. "Yeah, The war ending halfway through really stuck in his craw."

Tia looks around the other leaders. "As it would most."

"Of course." Azazel hums.

"The Three Factions have been distrustful of the others since inception, the war between the three ending without a decisive winner is going to cause some tension amongst people. The few humans who know the war will always say that until one wins, or a true treaty is made then all this is, is a stalemate." Tia speaks frankly and judgmentally.

"Agreed. At this late stage in the game I have no interest in a war." Azazel adds.

Serafall grows serious. "The seeds of discontent."

Azazel chuckles. "Heh. That behavior isn't exclusive to my faction."

Asriel nods. "He's right, you know. My ties to all three, run deep."

Sir Zechs scoffs. "Again, I ask that we stay focused on the matter at hand. After all, that is why we've convened here."

"Spare the verbosity, wont you?" Tia says annoyed.

"I agree. Let's just make peace and be done with it. That's the purpose of this grand summit, isn't it? Of course it is. Our perpetual three-way stalemate is getting rather old and hardly doing this world any favors."

Tia now hums. "I'll agree to that. The few humans who do come to learn of the supernatural tend to die young. Unless protected by those who've survived or have been trained specifically to counter the three factions. Like Master Star. I assume everyone's in agreement on that?"

Azazel nods. "I am."

"God & The Devil King are gone. Both of our war generals have been annihilated."

Azazel chuckles. "We have a complication. Once again it's not even our three powers. Asriel, you know far more than I do."

"Yes. These forces are equally if not far more, destructive. They are the Red & White Dragon Emperors, the wielders of the Holy & Demonic Relics, and one Daniel Star, represented today by Tia Young. So I'd like to hear all of their thoughts."

Vali stays leaning against a wall his eyes glued outside. "What I want, is to fight someone who's as strong as me. Asriel."

Asriel chuckles. "Not happening, kid."

"I believe I speak for the humans that are both here and not when I say, we want peace between the three factions so you may stop using us as pawns in your games. My daughter Clarissa Star currently possess the Demonic Relic of The Plague. Clarissa.

"Yes. I agree wholeheartedly with my miss Tia's words, and I believe Faith and the others would agree if they were here too."

Azazel turns to Issei. "And you, Red Dragon Emperor? Thoughts?"

"Uh? I uh, um, wow... yeah, I'm not good with coming up with stuff on the spot, so, uh,"

"I see. Well, then why don't I make it easier for you, Issei. Try to focus here. If we start fighting again, you'll never be able to have your way with Rias Gremory, or have a harem for that matter. But, if we make peace, instead, then prosperity and propagation become far more important." Azazel strikes at his weak spot.

"Working the pervert like that, smart thinking, Azzy." Tia mutters,

Asriel chuckles. "Wait that's your nickname for him?"

Azazel sighs. "Please don't say it again..."

"Whats wrong, Azzy? Don't like your nickname. Sirzy, likes his."

"Uh... no comment." Sir Zechs refrains from engaging in this.

Asriel breaks into full laughter. "Oh that's fucking brilliant. I'm calling you Azzy from now on."

Azazel groans in frustration before returning to speak with Issei. "Peace means potential baby making, war means fighting without sex."

Issei hearing this steps forward. "Peace! Peace all the way! Peace is number 1!"

Everyone groans except for Akeno and Sir Zechs who are chuckling. As Tia has her head in her palm.

Micheal looks to Chisaki. "Mr. Nomu. Did you still have a question you wanted to ask me?"

"Yes, sir. Although I figured you'd have forgotten."

Micheal shakes his head. "I made a promise."

"Alright." Chisaki takes a moment to compose himself before standing in front of Asia. "You weren't fair to Asia Argento. I want to know why you all kicked her out of the church. She loves God more than anyone."

Skylar looks to him and speaks sternly. "Chisaki."

Micheal hums. "After God was destroyed. Only the system remained. The only thing we had to keep the faith was our power to administer divine protection, mercy, and miracles. Even with me as the center, the church is barely functioning right now. Consequently, as Asriel chose to join the ranks of the fallen our chosen replacement, and our only hope to replace god was gone, because of this there was a need to avoid anything that could negatively affect our system."

Chisaki looks down. "So with him out of the picture as the chosen replacement, you had to. She could heal devils and fallen on top of humans, and since they look exactly alike when the wings aren't out, she wouldn't have known the difference."

"Indeed. The faith of believers is the reason those of us in heaven exist. A threat to the system is a threat to our survival. Therefore anything that could negatively affect it had to be removed."

It's at this point Asriel directs Raynare to the grab a hold of Crystal and hold onto his arm as he places a hand on Tia's shoulder while Chisaki did the same with Faith, Skylar, Clarissa and Asia holding on to him on Asriel's orders.

"Sir, if I may ask, both Daniel and I request this upon you, even if they are still labeled as such, please allow them to pray to God. As Asia is being punished for doing so despite being human and a member of Daniel Star's peerage."

"Oh, right I've heard of her. Raynare, don't you have something to say, to Miss Argento?" Raynare sighs before bowing to Asia and apologizing. Taking responsibility, however Azazel stops her. "Naturally I take full responsibility. So to atone, I will satisfy you in a way that only I can."

Issei glares at Azazel. "How?"

It's then that Issei's dragon arm appears and Asriel's golden wings form along with Clarissa's Demonic Relic, and Irina's holy sword, Kiba's Holy-Devil sword and the three greats remain in moving along with anyone in contact with these People, Asia is frozen as she had let go along with Raynare, and Crystal.

Issei looks down. "Is it just me or did time stop."

"Damn it, Raynare, that's why I had you grab hold. Fortunately, those of us with superior powers weren't affected." Asriel scoffs.

"Thank our dragons. They protected us." Vali speaks to Issei.

"Asriel & I protected anyone in contact with us or those in contact with them. And the heavenly bunch over there were protected by their Holy Swords."

A crash is heard outside as most go to look at them as Tia reveals their magicians, the very same that attacked their house recently. She grabs her watch however, is unable to send a signal. "Damn, they have a barrier. I can't get my signal through."

"Incoming, six o'clock " Skylar speaks drawing her knives she readies to fight.

Clarissa turns with Chisaki drawing his gun as a Asriel turns slowly smirking.

"Ain't this interesting. Lady Gremory, I'd recommend you, take Chisaki with you and Issei. I can supply enough magic to transport the three of you. Do you accept?"

Rias sighs. "I have no options."

Chisaki turns to Asriel. "Promise, you'll protect Asia at all cost."

Asriel nods. "Its done. Save us this day."

Chisaki bows. "Of course, Sir."

Asriel turns. "Vali, you and Tia can greet the magicians for us." He barks orders.

Tia nods. "Yes, I'd quite like that, girls, behave while I'm gone and follow Asriel's orders."

Skylar nods. "Yes Mother."

Clarissa remains silent, her deep blue eyes glow for a moment, before she glances around almost confused.

Chisaki, Issei & Rias are all teleported away as Asriel stands in front of everyone facing the door way.

When the magic circle vanishes Chisaki draws his gun crouching immediately as Issei shouts.

"Shut up, idiot. We have the element of surprise, I'd recommend subtlety. Follow my lead we'll look room after room, stay quiet."

Back in the room a set of five magic circles form and from them three familiar figures stand.  "So, you've joined them have you, Asagi? Asriel asks.

Asagi sighs. "All in all, I'd rather not be here. Though, I'm happy to see Crystal and Raynare are fine."

Style steps before Asagi. "Enough, Phoenix. Where's Star."

Joel smirks as he and Enya suddenly vanish standing behind Asriel.  "Thanks to Asriel here, I was able to get a warning out early. If my guess is right, he's with your brother."

Asriel stares at the white haired man. "So Style, Where's the Jackal."

"Black Jackal is still out looking for the gemstone of life. When he returns we'll have found four out of five."

Asriel hums. "I see, you plan to use the five stones, do you? And what of you, Katerea Leviathan?"

"I'm here to bring destruction and chaos." She says standing on the other side of Style. She sends magic around as the everything glows with a golden light and an explosion.

Chisaki looks towards where the explosion happened and grimaces before moving on as Rias explains who Katerea Leviathan is to Issei.

Chisaki growls. "We need to finish this now."

Meanwhile exiting from the defense barrier Kiba, Irina, Clarissa, Skylar, and Asriel dueling with Style as Joel & Enya work together to battle Asagi keeping him on the back foot. As he pleads with them to stay out of the fight. Himself, only there for one reason, and even then, he has several opportunities to kill Enya and Joel however he refuses to do so, knowing his only mission is to fight Daniel.

Koneko looks up sensing her master. "Please forgive me, Rias."

Rias steps through the door ruining Chisaki's surprise. "Its alright. I'm just glad we found you. You're okay?"

One of the Magician grins "I don't know what-!" She doesn't get to finish as several bullets curve into the room hitting magicians in the eyes on their uniforms as their bodies slump to the floor leaving it as a three on three as Chisaki enters finishing the reload on his gun as he places it on his back switching to a pair of pistols he keeps pointed at two of the three remaining magicians.

"Sup, bitches. You could've hurt my best friends. I'm not happy with you. Fellow human or not, I'll kill anyone who tries to hurt Asia."

Gasper struggles slightly. "Please, Rias. Kill me now and get it over with."

Issei steps into the room. "Don't say stuff like that!"

"It would be better for everyone if I was dead!"

Chisaki sighs. "You're wrong you know. Just because they went after you doesn't mean anything. Most people would've cracked under the pressure you were put under. Chin up kid. You're better off with us than dead. After all, I kinda like ya. You're cool." Chisaki smirks as Issei gives Gasper some of his blood surprising him. "Well, that's one way to fix this."

He then points a gun behind himself shooting a magician in the mouth before turning and firing another in the throat.

"It's like a dark magician festival."

"Really dude, there's naked ladies and you're making those jokes!"

Chisaki deadpans to Issei. "I'm ignoring you. Let's go."

Back with the others Tia stays with her watch as she returns to the barrier to find a glowing light as time returns to normal she sends her signal and the barrier around the school instantly shatters as everyone looks to the point of entry as a series of five people enter. Daniel and his friends.

Einz lands first. "Where's my brother."

"Damn you, Einz!" Style flies directly for his brother the pair dueling and going back and forth as Asriel lands next to Daniel.

Daniel steps forward. "Crystia, Nova, go help the others. Lucy, defend the vampire, check on Asia and the others as well."

POV Daniel

I walk into the area drawing a sword swiftly and use it to deflect magicians spells and send them away while also slashing through others and working my way into the center of the mix when I end up back to back with Xenovia & Irina.

"So, ladies, we ready to fight?"

Xenovia glances back to Irina. "Irina."

"Yes, I'm ready to fight, with my best friend."

I chuckle. "Have at it girls."

I jump into the air cutting clean through dozens of magicians as a magical circle forms under me making a sword I use to launch my self even higher when I make a cross like pose high in the air and my shadow seems to split in too as a large magic circle releases hundreds of swords in a flood-like manor as I drop down into the hundreds of corpses landing next to Chisaki.

"So, I see the meeting was attacked."

"Yeah, And you're late as hell."

"Blame Einz. He put us through the training of our damn lives. Now, how about we make them pay in blood for daring to attack our family."

Chisaki nods. "Aye."

The battle is won quickly after the only combatants left being Style & Asagi when Azazel crashes to the ground. I glance over and look into the air as Asriel rises from the hole that Azazel crashed into.

"Ah, got me. That's a first. Bad, Vali." Asriel scolds the young dragon like he's a dog.

Vali grins floating above them. "Sorry, Asriel. Things looked more interesting on this side."

Tia glares. "So you're the one who betrayed us."

Azazel hums rising. "I can understand, but there's something I'd like to ask you." Vali hums awaiting the question. "You know Shemhaza, my vice governor-general, and Asriel here. They've both recently informed me of a faction that has been gathering dangerous elements and members of not only the three great powers but the Norse, Style Kael, And the Black Jackal. What were they called, Asagi?"

Asagi sighs before rising into the air behind Vali as Style joins him. "They're, called the Chaos Brigade. Still trying to find out the leaders name."

Asriel steps forward. "I can tell you who."

Asagi looks to Asriel. "You can?"

Style scoffs. "I'll save you the trouble. It's Orphis, the Ouroboros Dragon."

I now stand next to Asriel across from Asagi. "Orphis, huh. That's a dangerous person Asagi. It'd be a shame if all she got back was a severed Phenex's head."

Asagi lowers himself now on the ground he takes his stance. "Trust me Star, I fear Style far more than you."

"After my training with Einz, you should fear me more."

Asagi glares. "Let's find out if you're right." He draws CrossFire as I without moving a muscle am incased in my armor as a large sword forms in my hands. "I really don't like doing this, but orders are orders."

"I know. I don't either. But this can't be changed."

Vali interrupts the proceedings speaking loudly enough to be heard by everyone. "Issei Hyodo, Daniel Star, Asagi Phenex. Fate can be cruel, wouldn't you agree?"

Asagi nods. "Sad to say, but, yeah, you're not wrong."

"Fates a whore."

Issei nods. "Yeah, Maybe."

Vali stares at Issei. "I am the strongest dragon, and I carry with me the blood of the devil king. But you two are just lowly humans, and Asagi doesn't have the strength and can't with his families limitations. Issei Hyodo, before becoming a devil, wasn't even an impressive student in high school. That is to say aside from the boosted gear you are nothing, and Daniel Star, spending years with but a few people in the wilderness it is a miracle that you have any set standards of how to act in society, but without your grandfathers blood running through you, you'd be a competent sword fighter and nothing more."

I scoff, it turning into a chuckle. "Even then, it's a better existence then the joke that made yours. I'd rather be me dying on my deathbed before I hit a hundred then have to deal with you for ten-thousand years." I glance away as he suggest to us becoming avengers, like Asagi, who looks down in a moment of sorrow, I take a hard look at Asagi finally noticing Damien's Jacket, gun, and goggles.

"So, you guys killed Yasahiro... I'm sorry Asagi. But you'll live long enough to grieve him, they won't."

I turn as Asagi raises sword to fight, meanwhile I block the blade with a swipe from my armored forearm and slam my other fist, pommel in hand, into Asagi's jaw knocking him unconscious, as I turn and avoid a blade of magic from Style causing Einz to go after him the pair launching into the sky their black and white aura's pressurizing the air around us. I sigh, holding Asagi by the Jacket and toss him at Azazel who catches him with his one arm.

"Thanks kid."

"This isn't his fault. When he awakens, question him, if he doesn't know anything, let him be. Asagi & I have a score to settle with the Black Jackal."

"If you must know-."

"Yeah, yeah the Black Jackal's immortal. However, it's not that he lives forever, his sacred gear is artificially keeping his consciousness going. I have a way to fix that now."

I show from my neck both Asagi's green gemstone necklace and next to it the white one from Einz's house he placed on my neck without letting me touch the gemstone, he also placed a magical barrier that prevents me from touching it physically. I then dodge to the side avoiding an attack from Style who plants his hands in the ground to stop his momentum when a black orb slams into his body launching him back as he finally gets free of it landing next to Vali who speaks about using the juggernaut.

"I, one who awakens to the supremacy..."

Issei growls. "C'mon." [Ddraig: Boost!]

"Issei, now would be a good time to stand down." I step forward.

Einz lands next to him. "He's right you know. The White Dragon Emperor's Juggernaut Drive isn't something most can handle, and your current skill cap, you barely contend against his Balance Breaker. Oh, Ian! Why don't you show the White Dragon your new toys."

I nod. "Yeah, sure." I smirk taking a wide stance and drawing upon my magical energy slowly increase it. "I am the descendant of death & life, the master of space, time, chaos, and order, my life holds within it the power to transcend all-!" Before I finish I'm made to jump back as a man lands before us in front of Vali as Style smirks as the "unconscious" Asagi hangs from a magic circle, he glances at me and gives a weak thumbs up before continuing to pretend being unconscious. I sigh and glance over to Vali.

Vali turns to him. "Bikuo, What are you doing here?"

"Were finally gonna fight with the Northern Earth Gods. So I was sent to find you, Style & Asagi and bring you all back."

Vali grins. "I see. It's about time."

Style glances over. "Jackal?"

"He also wanted to see both you and Asagi."

I raise a sword to the man. "And you are?"

"That's Bikuo. A descendant of the Victorious Fighting Buddha." Azazel answers.

Issei turns to him. "What?"

"I didn't think you were that dumb. Surely you've heard of the trickster monkey from the Sai Yuki legends. You know, Son Goku?"

"Huh, He's related to Goku?"

Einz hums. "I have to say, Bikuo, Style, I never expected you two to become members of the Chaos Brigade. Hell must've frozen over. On the other hand, The White Dragon, The Brother of the Demon, and Son Goku do look good together."

Bikuo laughs heartily at Einz's comments. "Well, charm and beauty do run in my family, so I look good with just about anybody. Until next time, Red Dragon Emperor. And you Sword Master."

"Be warned brother, the Star's bring about death to every life they touch." Style warns Einz, but then he looks to Tia and grins, just like tonight.

"That I'm well aware of. Ta ta, brother."

I relax slightly and turn away as Asagi flashes me a cheeky smirk before vanishing with the others I watch as the Angels, Fallen Angels, And Devils work together to restore the school as I approach the leaders.

"Daniel Star, here for the meeting."

Azazel grins. "Aren't you a bit late?"

"Blame that on my mentor, if you dare insult him that is."

Einz chuckles standing behind me. "Oh, go on, I'm hoping you do."

Azazel hums. "That's right, you were with him. Tell me, why make him late to the meeting."

"Considering the upcoming threats, of the Chaos Brigade and my Knowledge of some of the members, I decided it'd be best if I trained him some. As a matter of fact, I'd think it best if his entire team was trained further, as well as the Sitri and Gremory peerages."

"Who do you know?"

"I'll discuss that privately with the leaders, you and Ian."

I sigh. "Again, it's Daniel."

"Shut up, Ian."

"Ugh...now, excuse me Chief Micheal."

Micheal hums in response.

"I don't know if Chisaki got the message to you for me. But I wanted to ask a favor."

"As long as it's within my power, anything."

"I know when they joined my peerage they lost the ability to pray to god, and it would mean everything to them, but do you think you could possibly allow Xenovia & Asia to start praying again?"

"Well, ladies, is that the truth?"

Xenovia bows reverently. "Yes, Sir."
Asia does as well. "Yes."

"Then let me ask you this. Would you still pray even though you know god isn't here anymore?"

Asia nods. "Yes. Even if there is no god. I'd love to be able to pray, it brings me comfort."

"Same for me. I'd appreciate the chance to give thanks to god as well as to you, Chief Micheal."

Irina steps forward. "I'll ask the same on their behalf. Please let them pray."

Xenovia turns to her former partner. "Irina."

"I didn't know the entire story, I was so devastated when I thought you betrayed us for a boy you knew as a kid. I'm so sorry."

"Well don't be, there's nothing to apologize for." Xenovia accepts it as only she can.

Irina turns to Asia. "Asia, what I said to you was mean-spirited and just plain cruel."

"Oh, not at all. I'm used to it anyway."

Chisaki from nearby speaks, just loud enough to be heard. "That's not a good thing you know!"

"I hope you can forgive me."

"No, please. I- -I wasn't even all that upset, believe me."

I hum overlooking everything. "This is nice."

Chisaki nods, standing next to me. "I can agree on that. Say, where'd Tia and Clarissa go?"

Azazel smiles. "I think I'll stay here for a while, and I can't believe how much I like this place."

"Either way, I think we're all tired, let's all go home." I begin walking away with Chisaki still hanging on as I finally spot Lucy simply sitting on the floor eating a sandwich. "Got any food to spare?"

"Here, snap into a Slim Jim."

"Thanks, we're headed home, you wanna go?"

Lucy hums. "Cool, why not."

The following day ORC Clubroom

"And So, starting from this day forward, I have become the advisor for the Occult Research Club."

"Wait... you cant be serious." Rias complains.

Azazel grins. "Oh, But I am; asked Sir Zechs and everything. He told me I should talk to Serafall's little sister about it."

Issei turns to the student president. "You did this, Sona?"

"Look I didn't have much of a choice; if I didn't agree with it my sister threatened the worst. She said she'd come instead."

"So you sold Rias out because you don't want to be around your sister. I get where you're coming from. I'd sell Gale out in a second. Speaking of sell out, can I have my swim stuff back?"

Lucy turns to me. "What's that supposed to mean."

"You know what that means."

"Ah, you bitch."

"Sure."

Sona looks to me and nods, before turning to Rias and backing away. "Anyway, I'll leave you to it." Sona exits the room as Tsubaki spares a glance at Kiba while Tsubasa glances at me smiling.

Rias turns desperate. "Hey, Sona!"

"Anyway, like the new arm."

"Oh, my new friend here is the omnipotent arm I made during all my sacred gear research. I've always wanted to equip something like this, and I'm so glad I did. Now, understand, Sir Zechs had one condition for me. I cannot stay here unless I provide a gift to you."

Gasper looks to Azazel from within a box. "Yeah? What kind of gift?"

"Uh, Chisaki? Who's the new girl?"

"That's Gasper, And he's a dude."

"Oh, Okay."

Issei turns to me. "You're not even gonna question it?"

Lucy turns to Issei. "Have you heard of the trope called a trap?"

Issei nods. "Yeah..."

I then playfully bonk him on the head. "Then shut up."

Azazel groans. "As long as I'm around, I will help you properly develop your immature sacred gears. There are only four people in this room who have years of proper training with them, and that's the Star Siblings, Ms Fuller, And the Holy Sword user. Even then they could still be far stronger. The Mysterious Boosted Gear with unpredictable evolution. The Holy Devil Sword. Forbidden Balor View. The Five Arcane Oaths. Burning Hope, and of course the Blade Master. I can use the research I've done to evolve them on an individual level, understand? So, then, from now on you can call me Mister Azazel, Okay?"

"Uh, no. I think I'm gonna stick with Tia's nickname for ya, Azzy."

Azazel groans. "Don't." I chuckle as he looks disappointed by the fact that I know that factoid. "Anyway... I'm looking forward to working with you all."

Rias speaks outraged. "Hold it; I never agreed to this, how can we even trust you?!"

"Oh, Yeah. Sir Zechs gave me another message for you, as well."

"Another message?"

"It seems when he stayed at Issei's house previously he learned the importance of a good skinship between household members. Notably for you. Apparently that's what the Red Dragon Emperor needs to charge his power."

Issei glances around. "Okay. I don't get what you're saying at all."

"All right then. This is an official order in the name of the great Devil Kong Lucifer. All of the current female members of the Occult Research Club are hereby directed to move in with Issei immediately. There you go."

"What?!" I ask now angered.

"Oh, Yeah, barring your team Daniel. Anyone who's not with Daniel's group that's female must move in with Issei."

I sigh. "That's better."

The following day (No POV)

Azazel stands atop Kuoh high school looking down on the students as a person sites next to him.

"The White One is after power. And the Red is after women. Well, at least their motives are pure, in their own way."

Asriel nods. "Yes, And Let's never forget, Star has a past that only Einz knows."

"Where did Einz go."

"After giving the gemstone of life to Daniel he said, he was gonna alert AJ Mankoi to the current events. Then he was gonna go gather Relic users."

"Ah, so the Relic's are in play."

"Yup. With Enya and Joel back with us, and Faith still with Daniel, we currently Control three of the 14 relics.

"I see. And AJ's Son is leading an expedition for one in Tibet, Yes?"

Asriel nods. "Yeah."

"I want you to bring Alabaster & Lerajie here. Then I want you to go after AJ's kid. I have faith that Einz can convince the Relic user he's after."

"And of the Chaos Brigade?"

Azazel sighs. "We'll cross that when we get there."

"Understood, and what of Raynare?"

"She'll stay with Enya, Crystal and Joel, as they'll be with me for the most part."

"Alright. I'll be headed to London to find Alabaster."

Azazel nods. "Good."

Asriel flies off into the sky as somewhere far away Einz stands over a bruised person holding a sword in pain as next to her is a man holding a spear both weapons aimed at Einz. "Its nice to finally meet you, Spear of the Damned, Icon of Sin." Einz grins.

"Who are you?" A female, the one holding the sword glares at Einz.

"My name is Einz Kael. Like you I hold one of the fourteen relics. However, you hold Demonic Relics, where as mine is a Holy Relic held by a demon,  I hold the Sword of the Lake. There's a war coming, and I'm working with some people to gather up my fellow Relic holders. Currently counting myself and you two, there are 8 of the fourteen relics accounted for. Will you join me?"

Chapter End.

Post Chapter Scene

Clarissa sighs as she looks down on a table. Her eyes flash yet again, and this time she stumbles hitting another table, her arms and hands covered in red, she growls in frustration before she returns to where she was, white hair flows down from the table in front of her stained red.

"I would be sorry for this version's actions, but Akashi & I have plans, and I need full control over my past self. I need to get stronger than her, I can't allow Elisa Flint to kill me. She came so close, I won't let her get that close again." Clarissa then stabs her hand forward, in front of her, a body the person is a woman with grey hair, they wear a maid dress, her chest open, as Clarissa grabs at her heart, and pulls it out, before placing it in a glyph, a moment later it shines a bright white, Clarissa grins, as her blue eyes become golden, and her blue hair grows darker, nearly black.

"I will not die."
