Chapter 18: Angels


(Y/N)'s POV

"Gasper, please come out. It's my fault for pushing you into going with Issei." It was late one evening, and Gasper had locked himself in his room, a contract had gone array and now he had to keep himself in there, if only to save his own sanity, and Rias could only apologize as she placed her hand on the door. "I thought that if you worked with Issei, it maybe for your benefit as well..."

"I'm gone for couple of seconds and he's already inside his Bat Cave hiding in his Bad Coffin because he's a Bat Person." I complained. "And seriously Tomato, Issei's clients is a bunch of weirdo. You that change him to be brave? He's shedding tears of fear!"

"Don't play the blame game on me!"

"IT'S YOUR FAULT TO BEGIN WITH, WOMAN! Besides, it's a wooden door, just bust it down."

"I'm not doing that!" Rias cried out.

"I was only joking, you don't have to take it so seriously." I chuckled slightly.

"...You weren't joking..." Bill pointed out. "You thought of summoning a rocket launcher."

'Everything is better with explosion.'

"Fueeeeeeeeeeeeee!" Gasper could be heard crying to the point of dying, even Issei winced. "I-I...don't need such a Sacred Gear! B-Because I stop everyone! I scare them! I make them dislike me! Even I dislike it! I don't want to stop my f-friends and c-comrades...Anymore of having to look at the face of my cherished ones' stopped...I-I don't want that..."

"What a quandary..." Rias let out a big exhales. Her facial expression bears the look of despair. "For making this kid to once again shut himself in...I am a failure as a King."

Issei looked towards Rias with a look of concern, before responding. "Buchou, isn't your meeting with Lord Sirzechs and the others in a short while from now?"

"Yes, but I will extend the time a bit more. I have to make sure that Gasper is all right first-"

"Please leave the rest to me." I suggested. "I will do something about it."

"(Y/N)...a-are you sure?" Rias looked at me with as shocked expression on her face.

"Positive. The bosses of the three great powers are going to assemble and that setting is important. If something inconvenient occurs on the same day, with just that the gap between them may increase much more."

Rias nodded her head in agreement and placed a hand on my shoulder. "Alright, I got it. Can I count on you?"

"Would you ever doubt me?'

Rias glanced at the door before leaving for the preparation for the meeting. Both of us twins took a deep breath and turned towards the door. Gently, my finger tabbed on the door and gently sat down on the floor, and hugged my knees followed by Issei.

"Gasper, we're right here. When you want to come out, we'll be right here." I told him.

Nothing.

There was no sound coming from the room. So we waited, and waited. Our eyes didn't leave the door, waiting for Gasper to come out. We were like a statue and didn't move at all.

"Kid, I heard about what happened in your past, with the Sacred Gear, and how you were bullied by your family, and people that should care about you." I told him. "And your powers to stop time, it must be truly terrifying, right?"

"...." Though there was no noise from the other side of the door, I knew that he was listening deeply to the conversation.

"I also possess a Sacred Gear in which the strongest Dragon resides in." Issei decides to join in the conversation. "Heck, my brother possess a godly-like power from a one-eyed Dorito looking Dream Demon wearing top hat from the Nightmare Realm."

"That's actual a good description of Bill." I pointed out.

"Actually, I felt offended by that." Bill glares at both of us. "Thank you very much."

"I...to be honest, am scared." Issei admitted, looking down to the floor. "While using the dragon's powers, I feel that some part of my body is changing into something else." I don't know much about Devils right now either, nor about what a dragon is. However, I feel like I want to proceed further."

"What a coincidence..." I let out a sigh, looking upwards towards the ceiling. "I get scared too. All of the time, when I'm fighting, I'm scared, but isn't it normal to be scared during those situations? It's true that I have a godly power that but I'm not fully powerful. Being a Devil is scary, this world is very Gasper. Heck, I might think that I'm going to get kidnap in the future, only to be torture! Scary, right?"

"Why?" Gasper asked. "M-Maybe, you may lose something important, you know? Why do both of you want to live such a straight forward life so much?"

"No, since I am an idiot, I don't get the difficult stuff." Issei admitted, a bit embarrassed of telling the truth towards our junior. "Just that..."

"Just that?"

"...I don't want to see (Y/N)'s tears once more. During the time we did the Rating Game, we all lost. I was pathetic...even then, I remember (Y/N)'s crying..."

"Nah, that's the time I finally lost my sanity..." I lay down on the wooden floor, looking at the ceiling. "Well, Issei's the reason that I finally snapped at that time. He was brutally beating the living hell out of my twin that I couldn't just stand there and watch. But seeing Rias crying makes me more broken then I ever did."

"We both do have each other back eh?" Issei chuckled.

"Who's gonna save your butt like usual?"

We both heard the door to Gasper's room opeeing slightly and Gasper came from behind the door. "...I wasn't present during that time."

"Ah, we understand." Issei reassured him. "I am not blaming you for that. But, from now on it's going to be different, right?"

"....I-I will just cause trouble...I am a shut-in, I am intensely shy...I can't properly use my Sacred Gear..."

"We don't hate you," I sat out, before smirking and placed my hand on Gasper's head and started ruffling it. "As your Senpai, we'll always look after you...well, as a Devil you would be a Senpai. But, it real life we are your Senpai. So, leave it to us!"

"Yeah, don't worry!" Issei placed his arm on my shoulder, showing off a smile. "You can count of us, Senpais! Lend us your power. Let's support Buchou together. If you're scared of something then I'll send it flying away with my Boosted Gear. Even if I am like this, I'm the host of the Legendary Dragon's power, you know?" Even though Issei smiled at him, we can see that Gasper made a troubled expression. "Would you like to drink his blood?" Issei suggested, pointed at me. "If what that bastard Azazel is true, then you may be able to control your Sacred Gear."

"I'm not a blood bank you idiot!" I scolded him, hitting him on his head. "Besides, you can also provide a sufficient amount of blood for him as well."

"...I am scared of drinking blood directly from living beings." Gasper informed us. "I am even scared of my own power...If anything more happens than this then...I will...I will..."

"Do you want to know something?" Issei his hand on Gasper's shoulder, frowning a bit. "I'm actually looking forward to fighting against my big bro and Vali."

The three of us looked at him with confused expression on our face. "And why is that, brother?" I inquired, interested on his own thought.

"Ever since we were kids, you always been the one who progressed further than I have. But since finding about both of our abilities, something just woke up. We just started competing over everything even if it was just the stupidest thing."

"Like the pot of kool-aid?"

"No one wants to drink a warm pot of kool-aid (Y/N)! Anyway, I decided that I'll keep training harder and harder for Buchou and the others. And on the day that I finally fight against you...I want to be the victor."

After hearing his declaration, I simply nodded my head in agreement. "Alright. I heard that thing Boosted Gear of yours can topple down Gods...so why not we test it one day? A fair fight between brothers."

"Heh, that's what I like to hear!" Issei smirked.

"T-That's amazing, Issei-senpai. (Y/N)-senpai." Gasper looked at both of us with admiration. "I don't know why but I sensed a bit of your dreams and your wishes. I-I also feel that I got a bit of courage flowing in me. In reality, it's only a bit though."

"Well, to be honest with you...I'm quite jealous with you."

"R-Really?"

"Hell yeah! You have the power to stop time. I wish I had it. Think of all the Girls skirts I could look under. Sexy panty time. On top of that I could freeze Gremory-sensei and play the old booby bananza whenever I want. And don't forget about Akeno. I'd have a full nipple palooza with he-GAGH!"

I punched him really hard, sending him far into the room until he fall down into the coffin. "And just like that, I lose my earlier respect for you just now."

"Ouch..." Issei moaned, climbing out slowly.

"I'm sorry, he's a pervert."

"N-Nobody's been jealous of me before and never had a good reason for it." Gasper told us. "It makes me feels better. It's funny you like something I've come to hate all of my life! (Y/N)-senpai, do you feel jealous of my power too?"

"Not gonna lie, I like the concept of time stopping..." I then began to sadistic grin on my face while clenching my fist tightly, raising it up into my face slowly. "Just imagine how many hit I can ditch in 9 seconds. Even better...flattening someone with a road roller, throws knives in their faces or put them in the endless loop of death-"

"(Y/N), you scaring the kid!" Issei yelled as Gaspy, currently hiding behind him.

"(Y/N)-senpai became scary all the sudden." He peeked his head a bit, shivering in fear.

"I'm sorry, he's insane."

"Well, to answer you unanswered question that is currently floating in your head, here's a full volumes of Jojo's Bizarre Advantures manga from Part 1 to 7!" I gave the blond-haired vampire a pile of books that I summoned. "My favorite part is SBR, my favorite Jojo is Joseph, my favorite JoBro is Kakyoin, my favorite stand is GER, Killer Queen and Sex Pistol, my favorite villain is Valentine and yes, he's more superior then Kira. Also, Lisa Lisa is waifu. Read this, and I teach you the Way of The World!"

"...I can't believe you agreeing with the idea of changing him into Dio Brando...or DIO...or Diego Brando..." Issei said with a deadpanned expression.

"Hey, I'm going to teach him to stop time properly, throw a knife like boss, spouting catchphrase, doing a fabulous posing, AND REACH THE HEAVEN! Maybe not the last part but still."

"I hope this doesn't end badly..."

"Oh come on! The worst thing that can happen is Gasper grows some balls and become an arrogant king from Ancient Mesopotamia saying ORA while training my future children....what could possibly go wrong?"

"I don't even..."

"Look at you three." We heard a familiar male voice and turned around to see the boys excluding Dipper making their ways towards us. "Nice work you guys."

"It looks like the vampire is out of coffin." Kokichi snickered. "I'm happy to see that he finally stop Locker Simulation and onward into the Midget Simulation."

"Impressive...but yet still scared little child." Tyr commented.

"What's with the mountain of Jojo's books?" Orion observed, picking up one of the manga from the piles and starts flipping through the pages.

"I can see where (Y/N) got his obsession of saying 'MUDA' when punching people in the face." Yusuke shook his head. "And Gasper seems to be rather comfortable around both of you...I'm concerned....mostly you, master."

"W-Wha? Issei is also here." I complained.

"Yeah, I think being pervert is better than being driven into insanity." Kokichi responded, while sitting on a table nearby with a book in his hand. "Man, this Mista guy is crazy."

"Well, my brother think of a team up attack that he touch girls' boobs with Gasper's time stop while Kiba's protect them from incoming enemy that CAN move in time stop." I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

"So, you're like, stupid?"

"That's selfish of you, Issei."

"I take my word, being driven into insanity is better."

"You corrupting the youth!"

"I can't believe this kid..."

The boys began to gun down Issei with a lots of insults as the proud pervert kept his crazy strats for future use. I then looked back at Gasper who is hiding in the box once more. "Tell me, why are you in the box like Solid Snake?"

"O-Oh! I'm sorry." Gasper apologized. "When I'm talking to people, I feel better in here but hey, don't take it personally. I didn't close the top."

"Let me be frank, you look like a bigger weirdo than before."

And then we heard more footsteps coming from the outside entering the room. It was the girls as they made their way towards Gasper with something in Asia's hand. I got a bit curious and asked, "What're you girls doing here?"

"After leaving, we started talking and decided that we care about Gasper as well." Asia stated.

"Then, we brainstormed ideas to make his life better." Xenovia says.

"Y-you want to help me?" Gasper shyly asked.

"Of course, you our precious companion too." Koneko stood near the box.

"Thanks, Koneko-chan."

"These are for you..." Koneko threw a garlic inside the box, making the vampire jumped out of it. Xenovia then threw a paper bag with a two eye holes placed on it over his head.

"You liked that?" Xenovia asked.

"T-This is..." Gasper starting looking through the eyes holes with his eyes glowing red. "H-How is it~? Does it suit me~?"

All of us creeped out at how Gasper looked while his eyes were glowing bright red. "Umm, this creepy. Can you girls tell me, why did you put a paper bag on his head?"

"It was all Asia's idea...and a good one..." Koneko told us.

"You came up with the idea?" I looked towards the former nun with a smile.

"Not exactly. I'm not good at talking to people face to face either but I have no problem when I'm using the phone. I just mentioned that as long as my face wasn't seen other people seem to be easier to deal with." Asia explained, blushing a bit.

"That's when I remembered I have these." Xenovia pulling out packs of condom from her pocket. "Then I thought, what if we put something over his head?"

I quickly swipe it away and burn it. "How many did you possess this thing?!

"Well, Gasper." Issei started looking at Gasper with a smirk on his face. "For the first time, I have felt that you're amazing."

"R-Really? If I wear this then my value as a vampire may increase! Until then...I MUST REACH THE HEAVEN-"

"Let's not do that!"

"Thank you so much...you guys are the best!" Gasper thanked as he was enjoying the paper bag mask.

"Hey, guys...Can you help me solve this myste-" Dipper asked as he came in the club room before screamed in fear like a baby after seeing Gasper. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! ZOMBIE!"

"DIP, STAY DOWN!"

"DON'T! WHERE THE FUCK YOU GET A SHOVEL!?"

"STOP THAT YOU IDIOT!"

As the chaos erupted inside the room, Bill only stare at them with a smirk on his face before coughing a little. "...This room sure is dirty..." Unknown to them, he was coughing a yellow dust...

[Timeskip]

The next day, I was heading towards a certain place along with Issei. We were called by Akeno, and I wasn't sure why. I knew something's were going to go down, I knew that it could be something of the Angels, but I wasn't exactly sure, and the way Issei looked, it was something alright.

"Say, (Y/N), do you know what's going on?" Issei asked, turning his head towards me. "Buchou asked that I'd come here for something."

"I really don't know." I shrugged my shoulder. "Yumi-san asked that I'd come here. She said something about there being a big surprise. Oh, this is suprising."

"Wait...this road...don't tell me-"

"Yes, we'll be hitting the shrine." I sighed out, seeing the shrine within my sights.

"By Shrine, isn't that a bad place for us Devils?! We'll get smitten by the Angels or something! Bro, are you sure that is it alright?!"

"I wouldn't worry, Rias wouldn't send you off to your death. I'm sure that there's a reason why she sent us here. I think it has to do with the Angels actually. I've been hearing rumours that they have something to give the Red Dragon Emperor."

"T-To give me? Really? What is it?" Issei inquired, getting curious.

"Punishment for being pervert..." I bluntly told him.

"WHAT?!"

"Joking...I honestly don't know." I shrugged my shoulders. "All I know is that the Angels have been busy working on something for you."

"A-An you're okay with that?"

"Issei, I'm not that petty to care when you get things and I don't." I snickered slightly. "I'm sure it's the same for you and me if I got something and you didn't."

Issei was going to nod his head, but he scratched his cheek softly. "Well, if it was a beautiful woman, then I'd be jealous...b-but, I guess that's it really."

I stared at him for sometimes, then began laughing to myself. "You truly hasn't changed! Even before becoming a Devil, you were like this."

"H-Hey! No laughing! Don't laugh at that!"

"I-I'm sorry but It's true! You're still same as always-" I wiped under my eye with tears being there and stopped midsentence. "Actually...you changed a little." I offered a kind smile. "You're a bit stronger and brave as well. Guess it took a magical holy spear to change a person's heart!"

Issei took that as compliment and smiled back, enjoying the affectionate look that I was giving to him. However before our conversation continue, we had reached the stairs, and saw a smiling face a woman in a shrine maiden outfit.

"Welcome, (N/N)-kun, Issei-kun." Akeno greeted with an endearing smile.

"Ah, Akeno-san?!" Issei let out in surprise.

"Sup, Akeno." I waved my hand normally. "I'm glad you're looking well."

"You as well, (Y/N)-kun." Akeno moved forward without stopping her smile, slowly descending the stairs. "Sorry, (Y/N)-kun, Issei-kun. Suddenly calling you out like this."

"Ah, it's no problem. I was also free with no work."

"But you gave you paperwork to Yusuke and Kalawarner..." Bill chuckled with a sly smile.

"Not my fault that I'm the boss." I told him with a smirk on my face. I then turned my attention to Akeno. "Why are we here exactly? Is it have to do with the Angels?"

"Fufu, (Y/N)-kun seems to know his way around the world now," Akeno placed a hand on her mouth, giggling gently. "Knowing things like that when it has been kept closely guarded in secrecy, are you perhaps trying to make me feel differently (Y/N)-kun? Perhaps you're the one who I have to watch out for?"

"Well, the All-Knowing One is not just a title and I am a highly functioning sociopath. By the way, have anyone tell you that you're beautiful wearing those outfit?"

Akeno just continued her giggle, pulling closer and wrapped her arm around my own arm. "Ara, ara, (Y/N)-kun is flirting with me! What would Rias and Koneko-chan think? I'm sure that the next wife Asia-chan would be angry as well. Don't get me started on Kurumi. But, because it is (Y/N)-kun, it is okay, you can flirt as much as you want too~"

"Sorry to interrupt you guys lovey dovey moment, is it alright not going to the meeting along with Buchou?" Issei questioned. "I mean, doesn't a Queen have to be there for their King?"

"Grayfia-sama will follow up over there," Akeno rubbed a hand across her face as she lead us up the stairs. "Not to mention if it advances by a certain degree, then even without me it will be all right. More than that, I have to meet the person who's waiting upstairs."

"I know we're meeting important people here, but is it alright for us to be here?" Issei was sweating quite profusely. "Even if it isn't a Christian thing, this place is still holy."

"This place is fine. An agreement was reached under the table, even Devils can enter." While saying that, Akeno passed through the archway without anything happening.

Issei still looked apprehensive, and suddenly pushed me through it, and smirked to himself. "Aah, it must be cool then."

"You sacrificed me!?" I turned back towards him, glaring harshly.

"You didn't die!"

"But, what if I did die then?! I could have been killed! What if an Angel struck me down or something like that?! Are you trying to have my death happen before your eyes or something?!"

"Sorry..." Issei chuckled awkwardly.

"Why do I sense some foreshadowing..." Bill said, staring at both of us with a judging expression.

"Only two brothers could fight like that, and still look affectionately at one another." Akeno giggled to herself. "You're both so wonderfully cute. Though, (Y/N)-kun is the more cuter one to me."

"Akeno..." I looked towards the shrine that was present. "I remember hearing about you once living in a shrine type area, do you live here? Is this the place that you're living right now?"

"Yeah, the priest of the last generation passed away, Rias secured this shrine which had no people remaining for me. Though, I am considering moving out, living somewhere else, once the preparations are done of course."

"Preparations?" I questioned but Akeno fell silent and remained from speaking about anything.

"So these are the Red Dragon Emperor and the famed All-Knowing One?"

Turning towards the side, where the voice came from that sounded like it was truly delicate, there was golden colored wings to the point of dazzling are fluttering in front of them. A young man with a handsome face was sending glances at the pair of them, a golden halo floating aove his head, and next to him, was a young looking woman, with similar clothes on the young man, though she was very well endowed. I wouldn't be surprised if she had breasts rivalling if not surpassing Akeno herself, it seemed rather close anyway.

The young man gives a gentle looking smile, and comes for a handshake with Issei, while the young woman showed her brightest of smiles.

"Nice to meet you, Welsh Dragon, Issei Hyoudou and the Dream Demon, (Y/N) Hyoudou." The man greeted as he blocked Issei's path so he couldn't see anything. Issei looked at both of them with a confused expression on his face, while I made a shocked expression on my face. "Bro, do you-"

"Don't tell me...you both of you are Michael and Gabriel!?" I asked.

"Ara, I'm so happy that dear (Y/N) knew who we are dear brother." The woman smiling towards me. Akeno showed a slightly jealous look in her eyes, due to the way that I was smiling right at her, like I was entranced by her. "Nice to meet you, Dream Demon, (Y/N) Hyoudou and Red Dragon Emperor, Issei Hyoudou. It is I, Gabriel of the Seraph."

"Pleasure to meet you, milady." I summoned my fedora and tipped it a little.

"Bruh, really?" Issei stares at me with a deadpanned expression in his eyes.

"What? I have a fedora. It will be a sin to not do the hat tipping with it."

"Anyway, nice to meet you too!" Issei became slightly too hyper, and his eyes kept going over the young woman's body in a perverse manner. As responsible older twin brother, I quickly trapped him in a headlock with a scowl on my face.

"She's very innocent by the looks of it. Don't become perverted with her, you sicko!"

"(Y-Y/N)! D-Don't say that!"

"Thee shalt not stain an Angel!"

Gabriel got concerned by our interaction and stopped me from going even further and beyond with my torturing methods like a truly kind person would. The young blonde haired Angel man bowed his head towards all of us.

"I am Michael. I am the leader of the angels." He introduced himself. "I see, this aura's quality, it's surely Ddraig. This brings back memories." His eyes went towards me, which I smiled as a response. "And, it is an honor to meet the Dream Demon...you reminds me off..." Michael stopped himself for some reason, confusing me. "Either way, it is a pleasing meeting between us all, I am very pleased to meet you all."

"It is a very good pleasure to meet you as well, Lord Michael." I bowed my head a little. "I mean, you're a God, right?"

"Yes, that is right."

"I've got many question..."

"And I have many answers. But for now, why don't we go inside of that building over there, and talk more?"

"Sure."

We went towards the main shrine, and went inside. I sat between Akeno, and Gabriel, between Angel and Fallen Angel hybrid, Issei sat opposite Michael, who clapped his hand together, light shining around him. From the centre of the shrine, there was an unknown surge of power, and it tingled on our Devils' skin.

'The aura, I'm guessing that it is Holy,' I thought.

"You hit the jackpot, kid." Bill nodded his head in agreement.

'Heh, guess Issei is getting recognized as the Red Dragon Emperor...'

"Truth is, I thought of awarding you this." Michael pointed his hand upwards, and a sword appeared from out of nowhere, oozing out holy aura.

"A Holy Sword!" Issei realized.

"It's pretty cool, I like it." I nodded my head.

"This is Georges, if I say Saint George then would it be better introduced?" Michael told us.

"Ascalon. It's a Dragon Slayer sword as well as being a Holy Sword." I explained, earning a nod from Michael. "It seems like he's giving you this sword, Issei."

"But, how? I can't wield Holy Swords." Issei immediately replied.

"Dude, I have Excalibur Deity...you have reason to complain."

"As a special courtesy from Heaven and my dear brother, since I am giving this, even you a Devil who has the power of the Dragon can handle it. Before you can possess it, do you think you can assimilate it into the Boosted Gear?" Gabriel said, showing a smile.

"Can I even do that...?" Issei murmured to himself.

[It depends on you. The Sacred Gear answer on your feelings. If you wish for it, it should be possible.] The Welsh Dragon itself spoke aloud for the others to hear.

"Fueeee, so that's what Ddraig-san sounds like now. How nice." Gabriel said it with a serene smile on her lips.

'C-Cute!' I blushed red from the sight.

"Why, give it to me?" Issei inquired. "(Y/N)'s the one with the ability to wield Holy Swords. He's better at sword fighting than I am, it really isn't my thing. So, why are you giving it to me, Michael-san?"

"This time's meeting, I think there's a huge opportunity to cooperate between the three great powers." Michael answers while smiling. "I hear you already know it so I am saying this but, we lost our creator, God during the last war. Our enemies also lost the old Devil Kings' in battle. The leaders of Fallen Angels are reticent. Azazel also has his official stand of not wanting to create wars. This is a chance. A chance in order to get rid the useless battles. If small scale battles continue like this intermittently, then anyhow, the three great powers will be destroyed. Even if that isn't the case, from the side other powers may invade."

"Other...powers?" Issei held a confused face.

"Remember Orion? He's from the Greek Faction." I filled him in quickly. "Unlike him who helped us, there are people out there that would disrupt peace, for the sake of just doing it. So, he's saying that we have to become stronger and become united to keep us all safe."

Michael slowly nodded his head. "That sword is a present from me to the Devil side. Of course, I also sent presents to the Fallen Angel side. I got the rumored Holy Demonic swords from the Devil side as well, our side is very grateful as well."

"So, that's why Yuuto got called..." I began to understand the new information that we were given.

"We heard that the one who opposed us, the Welsh Dragon had become a Devil." Michael continues on his talk to everyone. "As a greeting, and alongside that as a present we're giving you this sword. From now on, you'll probably be targeted by Dragon class opponenets and the Vanishing Dragon. I thought that for the rumored 'The Weakest Host in history,' it may become a supporting weapon."

"Never heard a pure Angel roasted a teenager..." I snickered as Issei feeling irked with the title, making both of the Angels in the room tilted their head in confusion.

"Is giving it to me all right? More like, why me?" Issei began to question more.

"Only once have the Three Great Powers held hands together." Michael continues. "That's during the time they defeated Red and White Dragons. Since it was the two dragons who trespassed into our battlefield and threw the battlefield into disarray. Wishing that we hold hands together like that time, I am placing my hopes in you, in the Red Drgon Emperor. It's typical Japanese right?"

Though Michael said that, Issei looked apprehensive about it. Since it was a Holy Sword designed to slay Dragons, it was a weapon that was against him. I offered a kind hearted smile and put my hand on his shoulder.

"Bro, it's okay." I reassured him. "It might be scary for you huh, since this a sword to slay the Devil Dragon you. Even I'm getting nervous vibes off it, but I'm sure that the Angels, and everyone wouldn't be plotting against you. Honestly, I don't they'd need to, they'd just shoot you with their spears of light or something or I brutally murder you in your sleep."

"(Y/N)!" Issei snapped with a teary eyes. "That's not exactly helping you know?!"

"I'm just saying, they aren't against you, you'll be able to use the sword yourself."

"(Y/N)-kun is right, Issei-kun." Akeno nodded her head, and added her own thoughts. "There were final adjustments done on the sword in this shrine. Great Satan, Lord Azazel, and Lord Michael camps' ceremonies have been performed so even if a Devil houses the power of the Dragon, he can touch it."

Hearing that, Issei understood what was going on, and reached out his hand. He gently grasped the floating blade in his hand.

[Partner, focus your consciousness on the Boosted Gear. I'll follow up after that. Try making the sword in your hand combine with the surge of the Sacred Gear.]

Issei started concentrating his focus on his Boosted Gear and the Holy Sword, he started feeling as the Holy Aura started flowing through his body. Issei opened his eyes wide and saw Ascalon's blades sticking out of his gauntlet.

"...It seriously combined." Issei let out a small gasp.

"Huh, neat." I impressed by it.

After confirming it, Michael clapped his hands. "And, it's time. I have to go soon."

"Wait! You can't leave yet!" Both of us cried out at the same time. We then shared a look. "You have something to say to Michael-san? How could you...is something that have to do with the Church girls for you? Hey! Stop copying me like this! Hey! I said stop, alright?!"

We continues to argue until Michael coughing into his hand.

"Yes, is there something you'd like to say?" Before we went to say something, but Michael paused, and held out his hand, like he was either receiving a message or he remembered something regardless. "Time to visit the conference, let's hear it after the conference. I'll definitely hear it. Don't worry. I'm sorry for the sudden departure, but I have to leave now as well. Gabriel, you'll also take care of the other reason that we came here."

"Yes, of course dear brother," Gabriel bowed her head kindly. "Please go ahead, and we'll be fine."

"Thank you, then Gabriel, I shall see you soon."

Gabriel offered a kind smile, and did a peace sign. After saying that, Michael's whole body is wrapped by light, after a flash of a light for a moment, the big shot of the Angels had disappeared from that place. Not long afterwards, Issei's phone lit up, and a message came through to him.

"A-Aah, I've got to go," He stood up and left the room before anyone could comment.

"I'm ditching you once more, playa." Bill winked his only visible eyes and vanished elsewhere, leaving a...dust trail?

I blinked, then turned towards Gabriel. "Lord Gabriel, what did Lord Michael mean when he was talking about the other reason that he came here? Could you, please enlighten me?"

"Yes, that's right." Gabriel clapped her hands together, "We also have to talk about that right now. Though, I do have to say that I regret that it isn't as powerful as the original, but with dear (Y/N) wielding it, then maybe it would be strong as well..."

"What?"

Gabriel showed her serene smile, and clapped her hands together once more. The light of gold shined down on the three of us. From the sight of the golden light, a sword reigned downwards. I looked at sword giving off a holy light, and how it seemed so...beautiful...I could feel an aura humming off the blade. Though, I could feel that it was, weaker than the Ascalon that Issei had given, but I also felt something, of a kinship of the blade.

"This, dear (Y/N), is a prototype of the real Excalibur." Gabriel revealed to my surprise. "Yes, this sword you see has been in the works for a while now. However, it pales to the real Excalibur, which is why I said that I regret...but, if it is dear (Y/N) using the blade, then you'd able to draw out the maximum potential, yes? I'd say that the strength of the sword would be the same as four of the real Excalibur's combined together, so it isn't a weak sword by any means."

"W-Wait, so you're saying that the sword there, holds the powers of the six Excalibur?" I asked, slightly shocked by it.

"Yes, indeed. We haven't been able to locate Ruler since the times before, but yes, the remaining powers are inside of the blade, and it should be quite powerful, not as powerful as all Excalibur's combined, but it doesn't pale much. This blade has some imperfections, and we're currently studying ways to make the blade as powerful as or even more so than the original, Excalibur."

"Why give it to me?"

"Because of dear (Y/N)'s action." Gabriel showed her bright smile.

"My...actions?"

"When you helped Asia, sparing that Raynare girl from killing her, fighting to save Rias from being married and your battle against Kokabiel. There've been many devils who would've abandoned their comrades to save themselves, but you were one of the first who didn't put themselves ahead of other. I also was told during the Excalibur stealing incident that you wielded another piece of Excalibur and became quite skilled with such a blade, yes? It even allowed you to fight the likes of Kokabiel, correct?"

"It's called the Beginner's Luck. I doubt it will be useful the second time..." I said with a sarcastic manner which made the girls giggles cutely.

"Then, dear (Y/N) can be a support to us Church and Heaven's as well, would that be okay dear (Y/N)? It is a lot to ask, but you see, a Devil, with the rare ability to wield Holy Swords. Of course we can't relinquish the real Excalibur's as they are still being forged once more and the other blade that we have isn't quite ready yet, but this blade, dear (Y/N) can do this with this blade, and make it show it's full power once more. W-Would that be acceptable?"

I was speechless, just looking towards Gabriel who looked shyly right back towards me. I then showed a happy face. "Since you asked, yes. It would be an honor to help out the Church this way! If you think I'm the best one to do this, then I shall comply happily."

Hearing that, Gabriel showed a larger smile. "I always suspected that dear (Y/N) was a kind soul! To help out the Church this way, thank you very much dear (Y/N)!" She then leaned closer before pressing her lips against my cheek. I started blushing a deep shade of red, at what she did and later felt a cold chill coming from Akeno. "I hope I can talk with you again some other time."

I nodded slightly. "O-Okay, Lord Gab-"

"You don't have to be so formal with me."

"Alright then...Gabriel-san."

"Muu, I guess that's better." Gabriel pouted adorably while looking in the other direction.

"Come on, I'm not calling you Gabby anytime soon..." I chuckled as she blushed a bit from the nickname.

"Gabby....I like that....Anyway, I have to go dear (Y/N), I'll see you later." She waving goodbye to me with an endearing expression on her face as her body was wrapped up with light, activating a teleportation circle, and disappeared.

Both Akeno and I were the only ones who present in the shrine room as we looked to one another, then showed our kind smiles. Though, I could see a small blush on her cheeks for some reason. "(Y/N)-kun, could you stay for a bit?"

"Yes, of course, I haven't gotten anything to do." I nodded my head in agreement.

"Good, then how about I make some tea?" Akeno stood up, and went to make tea.

"...Where's my wingman when I need him-Oh wait...he ditched me."

[Timeskip]

Soon, she came back, with some tea, and just laid down the tea, seemingly having a nervous look on her face. It was the first time that I could have remembered that she would have a face like that, she wasn't one for being nervous.

"Akeno-"

"The tea." She interrupted me. "I-Is the tea nice, (Y/N)-kun?"

"Oh...yes, that's right, the tea is wonderful, thank you." I answered, seeing that she seemed to love the approval I gave her. She showed a smaller expression on her face that was more of a smile, but also looked like she was deep in thought. "Okay Akeno, is there something going on?"

"...No, nothing." She flinched at my voice.

"You don't have to lie to me, I'm here for you."

She blinked, looking shocked that I said that. "Yes...I also thought that as well...(Y/N)-kun, you're really here for me, right?"

"Of course I am Akeno, you're important to me." I began, pushing closer. "Akeno, maybe I shouldn't ask about this, and I've thought about saying it a few times, but I stopped myself to not bring up bad memories but, Raynare told me that you were the daughter of one of the leaders of the Fallen Angels...you're part Fallen Angel, aren't you?"

On this question, Akeno's expression changes to a slightly cloudy one, and I could see doubt and disgust in her eyes for herself. "...That's right. Originally I was born between the leader of the Fallen Angels, Baraqiel, and a human."

"I see, so you're half human."

Akeno nodded, her eyes becoming mystified. "My mother was a daughter of a certain shrine of this country. I heard that on a certain day, my mother saved Baraqiel who had collapsed from injuries and from the fate of that day, I was born."

"You called him 'Baraqiel' and not father...."

"...That man doesn't deserve the title of father or anything, he's nothing to me." Akeno's eyes turned downwards.

I noticed that that her wings extend from her back. Different from the usual two wings of Devils, one wing was of a Devil, the other one was the black wing of a Fallen Angel. "They're-"

"They're dirty wings..." Akeno cut me off. "The wing of a Devil and the wing of a Fallen Angel, I possess both of them." As if despising the black feathers of Fallen Angels, she grabbed them with her hand. "While hating these feathers, I met Rias and became a devil. But what was born was the feathers of a Fallen Angel and devil, a more disgusting creature who possessed both. Fufufu, this may suit me who has dirtied blood flowing in her veins."

"None of that sounds like you." I retorted, earning a shocked expression from Akeno. "You've got no dirty blood through your veins, there's nothing dirty about you, perhaps your mind though. Either way, I think you're a beautiful women, who's one of the kindest most generous people that I know. And I actually like your Fallen Angel wings, every time I see they remind me of your beautiful black hair." Once I said that, I noticed that Akeno was crying. "Ah, I didn't mean to make you-"

"N-No, it's nothing I loved what you had said. I have decided. (Y/N)-kun, you have a few girls in your harem, right?"

"Y-Yes, that's what people keep saying..." I chuckled awkwardly, but Akeno gained a more serious smile. "And I can tell that (Y/N)-kun has affection for us all, even having already given himself to Rias, Koneko, and Raynare. But, I won't be falling behind the others, so I'm sure that being the main wife isn't possibly...then again, it is more interesting to become more of a cheat, right (Y/N)-kun?"

"What're you talking-" Before I could finish, AKeno pressed her lips against mine as my face started turning bright red. Both of us stood there for a minute before separating from each other, looking at each other with a smile on both of our faces. "That was-OUCH!"

I felt my cheek being pinched hard as I turned my head and saw Raynare pouting at him with Kurumi pointing her musket on my head and Rias putting her hands on her hips with a jealous glare.

"What is the meaning of this?" Rias demanded.

"Yes, darling~" Kurumi pressed the end of the musket on the side of my head with a death glare. "What are you doing here alone with that bitch over there?"

"It seems someone's jealous~" Akeno teased, laughing to herself as the girls started glaring at her with an angered expression on her face. I could only pray for Axololt for my safety against the incoming Waifu War 2...

Third Person's POV

Castiel lighten up his cigarette puffing up a couple of smokes. He's currently in a pub with a single bartender wiping up a glass and a man wearing cloaks around his body. "Now tell me, how did you find this place, Pines?"

In front of him were Stanford and Stanley Pines with Stanley holding a glass of beer while Stanford rummaging through his bags. "I got resources, Sandman. I have an important matter to addr-"

"If it's about Cipher, then no. He's not doing his crazy shenanigans back at Gravity Falls."

"Oh, yeah? How can we trust that kid exactly?" Stanley asked, slamming the glass of beer on the table. "The last time I checked, that triangle bastard almost destroy the entire world. And now you telling me that a kid possessing a power of our archenemy roaming around this area?"

"I got no time hearing your rambles, Lee." Cass stood up from the chair and walked away from the scene. "If you excuse me gentleman, I got some business to attend too."

"This is not about Bill, Sandman." Stanford shouted as he pulled black book with a strange insignia on it. "It's Dreemur. Bill and Zafkiel surprisingly appeared in my dream to warn me about him and I do some digging."

With that, everyone presence in the bar gained interest including Castiel stopped his track, turning his back towards them with a serious expression on his face. "Tell me..."
